Located on the Coastal Plains at the southwestern end of the Amecian plane, the Land of Dusk is shrouded in clouds of magical smoke all year round, and the sky is yellow even at noon. The magic dust that never dissipates www.biquge.info glows faintly at night, making it feel like dusk at all times, hence the name of the dusk place.
In the Land of Twilight, the believers of the Church of Light and the Church of Darkness will not be added to or weakened by the change of natural light, so it has become a perennial battlefield for the two churches. Every year, a large number of mages cast various spells here, causing magical elements to spread out in the space, further enriching the magical dust in the Dusklands.
At this time, among the bushes of the Dusk Lands, there was a small group of scouts of more than twenty horsemen, all dressed in white robes or armor. Leading the way were three young men, two men and one woman, whose robes were painted with gold stripes and looked extraordinarily noble.
"Oscar, we came out to practice this time to follow the scouts to find out about the march of the Dark Church, are you afraid that the people of the Dark Temple will not find us? The magician who walked in front said without looking back, which showed that he was not in a very good mood. With a mahogany wand in his hand, he occasionally cast a first-level earth-based magic dust spell that covered the entire scout force in the dust, making it harder to spot the team from a distance.
"Huh, what's the matter, Bright, are you scared?" the warrior named Oscar looked heroic with his eyebrows on his sideburns. There was a circle of pale golden fighting qi around his body, constantly circulating up and down his body, so that none of the surrounding dust could get on the armor.
"Hey, you two can't just be quiet for a while. The blonde and blue-eyed goddess official's voice was lazy and coquettish, "If we don't pass the scout mission this time, the teacher won't allow us to enter the Temple of Light." Oscar, are you suffocating these days, trying to get a few scouts from the Dark Temple to kill them? And, Bright, you're making all this dirt dirty. β
"Shelter. As she spoke, the goddess cast a spell of holy words to clean up a large patch of dust around her. The Word Spell was originally a powerful spell used to heal the area, but she used it to neutralize Bright's Dust Technique.
Both men and women were among the best of the young people of the Church of Light, and had made their mark in several minor battles. The three of them had already passed the temple examination of the Temple of Light at the age of twenty, obtained the title bestowed by the God of Light, and were the students of the current Pope of Light, John Higgins, such achievements are also rare in the entire Amecian plane. They have to enter the Temple of Light to choose their own equipment, but the Church of Light has regulations that they must have a certain amount of charism to enter the Temple of Light, and the easiest way to obtain charisma is to exchange it for contributions to the temple, and this scout mission is arranged under such circumstances. In fact, as a student of the three popes, earning contributions is just a formality, and the pope arranging his three students to act together actually has the intention of letting them run in and motivate each other, and for the sake of insurance, he brought them twenty knights of light.
"Mary, your holy word is ......" Bright wanted to stop it, but then thought that Mary was there to give him and Oscar the two of them a step, so she went. Mary had just been converted from a priest to a priest, and she always seemed to like to show off the light and divine power in her spells, and the white light emitted by her holy word spell was much more conspicuous than Oscar's vindictiveness, and Bright was about to order a change of course to avoid unnecessary trouble. Suddenly, I saw dozens of griffons flying behind a hill not far away. Each griffon carried two warriors in dark knight armor.
"Hide in place. Bright turned back to the Knights of Light and ordered, "They may not find us, make sure that we are exposed, and then attack together, throw spears and shoot griffins first, and Mary will give them magical blessings......"
On the other side, Oscar and Mary exchanged glances covertly, and then Oscar yelled and rushed over. Bright was shocked, but it was too late to stop him, and after scolding a fool, he immediately released an earth shield on himself as a defense, and began to chant spells again to prepare for the attack magic. At the same time, Mary's magic also fell on Oscar one after another, but intentionally or unintentionally left Bright and the rest of the Knights of Light.
At this time, Bright's spell was ready, and a large cloud of fire suddenly erupted in the sky, appearing directly in front of the griffons, dyeing the sky of the Duskland a fiery red.
Level 4 fire magic, burst flames.
Several griffons avoided it and plunged directly into the cloud of fire, where they were immediately burned by the heat, and fell from the sky screaming along with the Dark Knight on the griffin's back. But the griffons behind were not confused, and changed direction to sweep the fire cloud from the side, and at the same time lowered their altitude to prepare for landing. Among them, there was a masked knight wearing half-body epic armor and holding a spear jumped directly from a height of more than ten meters, rolled on the spot, blocked Oscar's slash with his backhand, and immediately jumped up to engage Oscar. Bright frowned, he thought that he could wipe out at least half of the griffons with the burst flames, but he didn't expect the other party to be so well-trained and not panicked in the air. And the masked knight who fought with Oscar was obviously also a great samurai-level warrior, and it was difficult to tell the winner for a while.
Brett didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly prepared for the next magic, when the dark knights who fell to the ground had already crossed Oscar and the masked knight and killed the rear, obviously wanting to kill the mage and the priest first, Mary hurriedly ran towards the rear of the light knights, so that she blocked the light knights for a moment, making them miss the best distance to throw their spears. When the spear was hurried again, it was no longer neat, and the Dark Knight on the opposite side only used a one-handed shield to block, making this round of spear throwing useless.
The real threat came at this time, and meteorites from the sky dragged the smoke down, smashing on the heads of the Dark Knights as if they had eyes, and each meteorite would seriously injure or even kill a Dark Knight. The second-level flame magic meteorite technique also exerted considerable power under Bright's precise control. Bright's natural magic is earth magic and fire magic, as well as fire and earth combined fire magic. The main attack of the fire system and the main defense of the earth system are the most perfect match of the French system.
The Knight of Light charged forward, past Bright and fought with the Knight of the Dark God, but the battle was one-sided, and the Knight of Light was killed. Bright looked over in disbelief, and then he saw the enchanted spear in the dark knight's hand, and the clan emblem of the spur on his armor.
"Oops! it's the Punishment Knight of the Cappadocia family!" Bright cried out, and he finally became agitated, "Damn! aren't all their knights in the main battle legion, why did they come here as scouts?"
The Cappadocia family is a prominent family with legendary bloodlines, and the members of the family are born with a talent for the profession of knights of punishment, and this profession is almost unstoppable in the group charge on the battlefield, even if Bright and their side are the elite of the Church of Light, they cannot be opponents.
At the same time, Oscar's side was also in a bitter battle, he seemed to be inferior to the masked horseman, and every time he fought back, he had to be shocked back a few steps, and gradually retreated not far from Bright. Seeing that the Dark Church had the upper hand, and that his own advantage of having a priest had not been able to show it, Brett anxiously shouted, "Mary!"
As if awakened from her fright, Mary hurriedly threw a spell over and landed directly on Bright. But Bright was stunned for a moment, and under the effect of Mary's spell, the only earth shield on his body was actually dispelled. Bright was stunned for a moment that Mary had used a dispel spell, and then he turned his head to ask Mary, only to see a trace of sadness hidden in Mary's calm eyes.
Just as Bright turned around, Oscar's body dodged to the side, and the masked rider actually left Oscar alone, and the spear stabbed straight at Bright. Bright turned his head sharply at the sound of the breaking wind, but it was too late, and he let his chest avoid the blade of the sword at the last moment, and the spear plunged deep into his abdomen.
Instead of pulling out the spear, the Masked Rider kicked it in the tail again, thrusting it deeper and almost skewering Bright on it. This spear has a very ordinary appearance, no matter how you look at it, it is only the worst rough level weapon, but there is an inexplicable tearing feeling on the soul on it, which makes Bright's mental power chaotic, and he can no longer cast spells smoothly.
"You ......" Bright fell to the ground, and he saw that his Knights of Light had been slaughtered, while Oscar and Mary remained on the sidelines, and suddenly realized something, "Oscar, Mary." You ......"
"Eternal Sunwheel, Bright. You don't think you want to get anything just because you're on the top of your Divine Grace ranking, do you?" Oscar looked at Bright coldly, "The Three Hallows of Light have finally re-entered the Temple of Eternal Sun Wheel, but your Divine Grace is far higher than mine, what do you tell me to do?Huh? Do you know what it's like to be a foil only behind your ass?"
"I ...... I didn't think about changing to the Eternal Sun Wheel. Bright's liver was injured, and a large amount of sweat flowed from time to time on his forehead, "You...... You are a sin that you want to add!"
The masked rider on the side suddenly laughed, "Eliminate all the unfavorable factors that may threaten you in the bud, don't you understand such a simple truth, one possibility is enough to deal with by planning a conspiracy." β
Bright was stunned when he heard this, he didn't understand these truths, he had read a lot of history books on the continent of Amesia, but because of his outstanding talent, he had always asked for what he wanted in the Temple of Light, and he had never encountered any setbacks, so that he had never noticed the danger that was close at hand.
"Damn! You're ...... You're Selby!" Bright identified the masked rider from his voice, pointing his right hand at the other man, his left hand covering his bloodstained chest but reaching into his rucksack under the cover of his right arm.
The masked rider ripped off his face towel, revealing a young and handsome face, "Bright, long time no see. β
"If you're looking for this, don't bother. Mary played with a teleportation scroll between her fingers, "Why do you think I suddenly looked like a she-cat in heat last night?"
Bright's face turned completely pale, and when he was sleeping out last night, Bright noticed something burrowing into his quilt, and he thought it was a small animal crawling in, and then judged from the aroma that it was Mary. Mary's body was smooth, flowing softly through Bright's body, and the slightest coolness made his blood boil. At first, Bright wondered why the usually very proud Mary would take the initiative. But as soon as he wanted to speak, two warm lips blocked his mouth. This was followed by two tactile sensations on his chest, a wonderful intersection of firmness and softness. When one of his stepped forward into the warm, humid place, all thoughts came to a standstill. The two were entangled until the second half of the night, and after the end, Mary slipped back in the night.
Bright recalled the details of last night, and it dawned on him that when he rolled over and entered, Mary was lying on his rucksack. Bright glared at Mary fiercely, and rolled over with difficulty, as if trying to change into a comfortable position, but he completely lost the energy of last night, and he said in a trembling voice, "I...... Can you ask one more question? β
"There's no chance anymore. Oscar stepped forward and slashed his sword, and the sharp heavy sword plunged deep into Bright's heart, as if it had never encountered any obstacles. Bright's body was drained of strength and he fell to the side, revealing his left hand behind him and the half-drawn telecommunication magic array, his round eyes staring at the sky of the Dusk Land in vain.
"My dear Bright, you are too clever for your strengths and weaknesses. If it weren't for that, maybe ......" Mary walked over to Bright's corpse and crouched down, helped close his round eyes, and then said to Oscar, "There is no soul left, and if you are lucky, your Radiant Judge may be able to advance to the Holy Weapon this time." β
Oscar's heavy sword is called the Radiant Divine Judgment, and it is a legendary weapon that is ranked below the artifact and the holy weapon, although it does not have the indestructible attributes of the artifact, and does not have its own artifact, but the legendary equipment will absorb the souls of other powerful creatures, and there is a certain chance that the corresponding soul can become its own artifact, thus being promoted to a holy weapon.
In the process of refining the absorbed soul into a machine spirit, the soul will be greatly depleted, so only a strong soul with a certain level of spiritual power strength can become a machine spirit after being absorbed, rather than being annihilated into soul fragments. The soul of a great magician like Bright is usually rare but not sought, not to mention that he is still a believer in light, so the rejection between weapons and souls will be smaller. Using this soul to refine the artifact spirit, the probability of being promoted to a holy weapon will be higher.
"That's only a possibility, the Sacred Weapon isn't that easy to get. Oscar drew his sword and stuck it on the ground, looked up and said, "But our troubles are not over yet." β
At some point, the warriors of the Dark Temple were already surrounding them in a semicircle. Seeing this, Mary covered her mouth and chuckled and stood up, "Selby, you won't be naΓ―ve enough to think that the Light Priest only has such a small role, and you can be at your mercy." β
Selby's face was solemn, he had already found that his body seemed to be gradually getting worse, and the one-handed shield in his hand also showed signs of being unable to hold it, and what shocked him even more was that he had the urge to repent in front of the light. Selby supported his body with a spear, simply closed his eyes, and felt the changes in his body, "I can be tricked unconsciously, and I am worthy of being a light dancer." β
At this time, the situation is that opposite Oscar and Mary is Selby and a team of Dark Knights, the strength and weakness are balanced, and they are basically equal. However, at some point, Mary cast a negative status spell on Selby, causing the scales to tilt.
"The punishment and punishment of the Holy Word are just how difficult it is for you. Mary's smile became brighter and brighter, "But Selby is on your own, what are you going to do next?"
The punishment and punishment in the Holy Word Technique have the effect of paralyzing and atonement for the recipient respectively, and it is also thanks to the fact that the magic resistance of the three epic pieces of equipment on Selby's body is high enough, which only makes him a little out of strength, but this has also seriously affected his combat effectiveness.
"Don't come near me, be careful of getting hurt!" Selby immediately commanded the other Dark Knights while standing still.
After being punished by the Holy Word, the recipient is not allowed to move, and if they do, the light power in their body will overflow, causing divine damage to nearby teammates. In order to prevent Oscar from rushing over and forcing him to move, Selby took the lead in distancing the other Dark Knight from him.
The more Selby thought about it, the more frightened he became, letting a great warrior like him fall into the Holy Word Technique without any feeling was definitely some kind of unique and powerful ability. Mary's full name is Mary Jones, Jones is not a prominent surname, and naturally there is no bloodline. If that kind of ability is not a bloodline ability, there is only one possibility-the ability of the real name! Thinking of such a priest in the Church of Light who has awakened his true name and has great potential, Selby's heart is no longer at peace.
Although there are a lot of these punishment knights brought by Selby, they are all at the advanced and intermediate levels, and Mary can make them all incapacitated by relying on the Holy Word Punishment alone. With two against one, Selby will eventually fall into the disadvantage.
"Selby, it seems that your wishful thinking has failed, and I told you that Mary is not easy to deal with. A black-robed woman wearing a hood walked up to Selby, and with a spell she had dispelled the negativity on Selby's body, and she made a beautiful female voice that made people think about it.
From the very beginning, Oscar noticed that the mysterious man in the black robe did not participate in the battle, but only stood on the sidelines and watched the battle, so he always focused half of his energy on her. Judging by the light she cast to dispel it, it turned out to be a Shadow Priest. Mei Li's face also became solemn, and the other party could dispel her spell with a light weight, and she would definitely not be a nameless person.
"Who is this? Why don't you show your true face? Are the dark priests like this?" Oscar raised his heavy sword and pointed it at the mysterious man, although his attitude was tough, he had already reached out with a teleportation scroll in his left hand, ready to tear it open.
This time, he and Mary secretly united with Selby to deal with Bright, and the biggest variable is whether Selby keeps the contract, and the transaction has always been between two parties with equal strength. However, because of the special nature of this matter, not only could the two Oscars not find more helpers, but even the Knight of Light brought out had to be killed. But Selby has no scruples about this, if he is ready to break the contract, he can bring more strong people to come, and he can easily kill Oscar and Mary, so Oscar and Mary have maintained even more alertness than Bright from beginning to end.
"Why are you so nervous, all the contribution to killing Bright is counted on me, and the divine grace I get is enough for me to put together this epic set of equipment. Selby proudly flicked his epic knight armor on his body, and then pointed to the dark knights around him and said, "This time the people brought are from my own family, we both take what we need, and we won't let this matter spread, will Elena?"
"Don't forget your promise, Selby!" the woman shrugged and turned to the griffin in the distance, her sweet voice enchanting though she hadn't lifted her mask.
"Elena the Nightcrawler! it's you! No wonder......" Oscar was startled, then tightened his grip on the teleportation scroll in his hand.
"Let's draw, that's fine. Mary's voice rang out at the right time, and both sides seemed to agree on this ending.
"Shine on all beings!" Oscar snorted coldly, and raised his foot to kick Bright's body far away, slicing an arc and landing in front of Selby.
"Only the darkness lasts!" Selby replied without flinching, drawing his spear from the corpse and having a dark knight place Bright's body on the griffin.
Without warning, a shining rune appeared in the air, and two filamentous lines floated out of the rune, connecting to the eyebrows of Mary and Selby respectively, and then the rune gradually disintegrated, merging into the vast space and disappearing.
Oscar and Selby withdrew their gaze from the air, and then looked at each other and retreated at the same time, and after a certain distance, they each ran to the warhorse and griffin and left the battlefield.
Obviously, if the balance of power is tilted, neither side will mind contributing a little more to themselves. But after careful temptation, they still chose to avoid it. The battle between light and darkness is so long, there will be a chance to meet and compete in the future, and neither side is in a hurry.
In the blink of an eye, the battlefield regained its inherent scenery in the Land of Dusk, as if nothing had happened.
Light and darkness against the wheel of fate
