Chapter 37: Crimson (15)

(Cat pounces Chinese http://www.mpzw.com.)

www.mpzw.com) The veteran pastor Direk came from a family of merchants and was already in the middle of his family at a young age. Thanks to the Light, he showed the gift of a priest at a very young age, much to his father's great delight - in a human society that revered the Light, becoming a full-fledged priest or paladin was equivalent to stepping into the aristocratic class.

Sent to the seminary, Direk continued to study step by step, looking forward to being assigned to a good parish after graduation.

Occasionally, he would daydream about what he would be like one day as an archbishop.

The prince of a powerful neighbor has killed his father, and the Burning Legion and the Scourge have dragged all human nations into the flames...... Like countless others, Direk's fate was changed by war. He didn't even have time to complete all of his classes before he was drafted by the Knights of the Alterac Church to become a front-line priest.

Constantly being torn to pieces by the undead before his eyes, he began to get used to reading prayers intently in the stench of stumps and the stench of the dead, using the power of the Light to save his comrades who were not yet dead.

When Direk was able to cast a rapid healing spell with a blistering speed and articulation, the four northern kingdoms perished.

……

Direk calmly rummaged through flint and velvet, and for him who had survived countless battles, the darkness of the invisibility was no longer worth fearing.

It's not a big deal not to be able to communicate with the Light for a while, the Eternal Light is always there, and it can be found with a slightly longer prayer after the battle...... The only thing that worries him is that the knights on the periphery are chasing too deep after encountering the enemy to destroy the formation, and if he and the other three priests want to protect the eldest lady behind him, they will inevitably suffer some injuries.

Just as he was about to ignite the fire, he felt something fall from the top of his head, and before he had time to react, he was grabbed by a huge force.

Incredibly agile, immense power...... The shoulder was pierced...... The priest, who dodges the fire of the powerful knight's attack, seems to be quite wise...... Thrown out...... There are more than one of them, and it seems a little tricky to know how to cooperate.

In mid-air, Direk mechanically analyzed the attacker, regretting that he had underestimated the other party, and at the moment when his body slammed into the ground, he used the priest's powerful self-preservation skill, the psychic scream.

He threw his head up and let out a silent scream, and the invisible shadow power spread out - an attack that hit the souls of all living beings, a skill that could make the opponent feel irrepressibly frightened and scurry.

Of course, it doesn't work for the undead. Direk thought silently, there was nothing more difficult to deal with than the undead.

Just as he was about to inspect the wound in his shoulder, a puncture-like pain came from his neck.

……

Setting a fire is not a difficult task for Loria, the difficult thing is how to set it on fire without blowing her companions away.

Losing her strength, she became more nervous, and as she rummaged through her packages, it seemed like a hot-headed mistake to go to the other world.

BP-N1 bomb ...... Without enough geological numbers, it is difficult to guarantee that the cave will not be blown up...... Bear biscuits...... I wonder if throwing it will attract the attention of the monster......

Just as Loria was hesitating whether to throw a handful of bear biscuits out of her hand or put them in her mouth, there was a sound of breaking the air nearby, as if something had been thrown out.

"Meow!"

A warm furry body threw Loria to the ground, and then immediately jumped away.

A roar was heard not far away, and Ahri, who could still see in the dark, seemed to bite its attacker, but after a moment it whimpered in pain...... Ahri is clearly no match for monsters.

"Ahri!"

Loria called out to the pet who had saved her life, and the knights of the outer circle rushed to the middle when they heard the movement, and their armor collided with each other to make a noise, but they were helpless because of the darkness.

From time to time, there was a muffled grunt, and the huddled paladins swung their weapons as best they could, but almost all of them missed—the few hits were all slashed at their own people.

This is the rhythm of the group.

Resisting the urge to blow everything up except herself, Loria casually touched a short staff - the small toy that Rocca had given seemed to be a prop that allowed people to use useless magic balls.

Recalling the characteristics of the cave creatures, Loria prayed in her heart that the other party was not completely blind, and then shouted, "Close your eyes!"

Blazing light erupted, illuminating the entire cavern...... Except for light, there is nothing left for a moment.

Loud and shrill howls rang out frequently, and it seemed as if the attackers were blinded...... There were also a few Scarlet Knights who didn't close their eyes in time or ignored Loria.

……

The bonfire burned, the danger left for a moment, but the atmosphere became more and more silent.

There were two corpses lying on the ground, one belonging to one of the attacking monsters, and the other being Priest Direk.

Clement silently covered Direk's unrecognizable body with a white cloth, and sighed for a long time, "I'm sorry I didn't kill all the monsters." ”

She put away the fragments of the puppet that belonged to Direk, interrupting Toto, who was using the resurrection technique in vain.

"Big sister......" Duoduo shouted, and finally gave up the useless action, and instead slashed at the monster's corpse with his two-handed sword to vent his anger.

Loria bit her lip and stood aside, silently watching the monster that had been cut into pieces.

Resembling ghouls, but with no decaying bodies, they look like extremely skinny humans, and judging by their terrifying agility and immense strength in previous pursuits, so much so that only one of the eight elite Scarlet Knights can remain.

Dry, wrinkled skin is gray, with deeply sunken eye sockets with disproportionately cloudy, dark red pupils...... Plus sharp canine teeth and unusual resistance to blows.

"Looks like a zombie, I've encountered it in Stratholme before. Riotus, the oldest knight in the group, interjected.

The crowd answered, not insensitive to the death of their companions...... It's about taking it for granted, perhaps, and taking care of someone.

Since it is an undead, then do it according to the standard of fighting the undead. Clement poured grease over the white cloth and set Direk's body on fire with a torch.

……

Should we lament that life is so fragile?

Should tears be left to express grief?

Should you regret every detail and dwell on what ifs?

Loria thought of what Gerbin had said to herself at Ironforge.

"Power is so terrible that I want to throw it away at every moment...... But I can't, one of my decisions buried hundreds of thousands of compatriots. The rest of my life is not mine, only Nomorigan. ”

When you sit in a position to influence others, do you feel an incomparable joy, or do you feel a responsibility to walk on thin ice?

Throwing a handful of blue powder at the burning remains, Loria turned away.
