Chapter 182: Zuta's Missteps
Time: 10/13/23/Blackgate / Location: Yunqi Mountain - Natural Disaster Fortress
None of the people on either side of the war realized that this breakout battle in full swing marked the official start of the Fourth World Demon Slayer War, and that I was the initiator of this war. Looking back, my identity has changed in various adventures, from the ignorant and confused little priest to the messenger of peace and the Ranger of the Holy Light in the eastern continent, the future is destined at this moment, and the peacekeeping council of one side is beginning to emerge.
Different from the soldiers and troops at the national level, I want to target different enemies and adopt different degrees of affinity to win over and unite more people who can be persuaded, even if their past is regarded by ordinary people as heinous bandits.
Saratas is one of these bandits, more like some kind of evil demon god who follows the order, and her eerie figure is creeping rapidly on the spire, reminding me of the pickled pepper squid I ate in Eviltooth Village a few months ago. The black text on the obelisk was swept away by her tentacles and replaced with "Enoch" with white feathers as the main letter.
"When all four sides of the spire were recast by Sarah, I collected the recovered power of the Holy Light into my heart to prevent my body from being paralyzed again.
The soul chains that bound the three of Kadol also shattered, and Darwin placed an air mattress under them in advance, and several masters unconsciously landed on it.
“Ut,Ecclesiam,tuam,secura,tibifacias,libertate,servire,terogamus,audinos!Ut,Ecclesiam,tuam,secura,tibifacias,libertate,servire,terogamus,audinos! Ut,Ecclesiam,tuam,secura,tibifacias,libertate,servire,terogamus,audinos!” The incantation burst like a bell in my throat, and there was no black fog of the underworld to hinder the spread of holiness, and the angelic light gushed out from the top of the monument, drawing a gentle arc in the air, it was like a blooming calendula, like a Baotu Spring under the scorching sun, and the arrows of light flew like life, enveloping every dead soul who still had a glimmer of life. The blue fire in their eyes was replaced by holy light, the expression on their faces changed from hunger and thirst to astonishment, they no longer hesitated, they no longer trembled, some only repentance for the atrocities of the past few days and longing for their families. The fiery clouds that covered the sky and the sun dispersed, revealing the long-lost moon. A drop of water suddenly fell on his cheek, and it turned out that the sky could also carry rain.
The chaotic battlefield was even more chaotic by me, and some of the undead had already recalled their lives and resolutely turned against the natural disasters around them. With only a little perseverance to support my body, the initiator of this exorcism spell is Lucifer, who is the same as me, his hand-picked Chosen One. The light rushed from the soles of my feet to the top of my head, and then drilled out through every pore, and the rot on my chest gradually healed under the nourishment of divine power, and although my eyes were closed, I could feel a short dry hair rising to the sky, a burning sensation penetrating my skin, and I could smell the stench of blood, and the moist fragrance of the rain on the earth.
A dreamlike scene descended on the world, the night was no longer night, and the sky at four o'clock in the morning was a little too early. Darwin's mouth was wide open, and it was difficult to close for a long time. Even the battle-hardened Salatas had never seen such a spectacle, just waiting for the impossibility of seeing more thrills.
"Do you see!!? I will put you to death!!" The last cry echoed through the canyon, and the holy light in my body finally became unsustainable, and this time I stood firm, unwilling to collapse and fall to the ground as I had done in the past.
Darwin anxiously tugged at the hem of my shirt: "Hadley!
"Whew... Phew, Darwin, help me to the mountain pass first... ”
Kador, Rabit, Zuta, and Lao Chen got up from the ground together and shouted in unison: "We will open the way for you!"
The Great Exorcism Spell not only severed the spiritual domination, but also spread healing light to every corner of the battlefield. The resurgence of the allies marked the end of the battle, and Joseph Redpass became the final obstacle. I tried my best to stay sober and strengthened my confidence: "Thank you! Convey my words, let all those who have found their will be removed from Yunqi Mountain! The remnants of the natural disaster will be dealt with by us, and besides, get Pamela back quickly, and we can't let her watch her father die." Blind, you stay by my side to protect me. ”
A shadow spread for several meters, and Zuta answered and pulled a few people into the shadow.
The blind old Chen took a few steps back, pulled out a running distance, and then rushed forward three times: "[Don't use the hidden dragon]!" He shuttled through the crowd, kicking out a smooth road for me in a circle.
The golden bugmen hurried from the south with thin wings, and the gunship immediately turned into a multi-purpose personnel carrier after landing. I told Darwin to go to the front and call the blind man back, and the three of them got into the beetle chariot and ran towards the Akkin Pass.
My words have been conveyed as quickly as possible, the tide of corpses is rolling out, and they need a cooling-off period to settle, so I asked them to withdraw from the mountain for the time being, and when the Death Knights led by Joseph are finished, I will invite them to join them in the invasion of Stratholme.
The northern sky was already white, and I should have rejoiced after purifying all beings, but now I felt faintly uneasy, I felt that something must have been missing, but I didn't know what the crux was. Obelisk, Soul Power and Light, Abomination Hook Guarding the Spire, Biological Connection, Joseph, Maraine, Karin, Pamela, Yule, Kel'thugad, Sharram, Zuta, Kador Yunge, Rabit, Bell, Tiger, Bone Dragon, Shadow Country... Shadows! Those shadows! Those shadows shouldn't be spherical! I jerked my head back, and in the center of the sparse battlefield, the shadows on the ground were a regular circle! It seemed to be turning!
Best suddenly stopped, we had reached the final battlefield, the death knights completely dragged all their companions, I saw Zuta at a glance, immediately jumped off the back of the worm, regardless of whether the body recovered or not, ran towards him, and shouted: "Zuta!
Zuta was stunned for a moment, almost slashed by the black sword in the hands of the Death Knight, and he put his hands up, manipulating the shadow of the enemy to wrap it around it temporarily. He hastily responded: "Ah?。。。 Shadows, I've forgotten such an important thing!Calamity Dragons and Tiger are still inside!" The Death Knight broke free from the shadows, and slashed his sword above Zuta's head with the dark smoke, the Shadow Master's five fingers tightened his palms, and the skeleton horse suddenly lost its front hooves and fell into the shadow prison, and the Death Knight lost its center of gravity and fell off the horse's back, and a sword only cut off a handful of Zuta's hair.
"What do you mean?!" I ran forward and pressed it to the back of the head of the Death Rider: "You have given me life so that I can give it to you, you have given me breath so that I may praise your holy name, if I can live a long time, or if the trumpet is sounded today, I will live for you, and the Father I will live for you—[Supreme Heaven - Flame of Shadow]!" Taking advantage of his panic to extinguish the fire on his head, I stepped on his spine and plunged the Imperial Sword into the back of his heart, countless mouthful tentacles immediately wrapped around his body, and half a minute later, the Death Knight was left with no bones.
Zuta pressed it up with a solemn face and said, "We can't fight that plague dragon at all, we just imprisoned Tiger in the Shadow Country while he was entangled with him!"
"What now? Is Master Tiger still alive?"
Zuta: "I don't know! Each Shadow Prison is relatively independent, and I have long lost control of it!"
"That huge shadow I saw was spherical! What's going on?"
Zuta: "Huh!?You can't carry it like that, do you?"
"What the hell is going on?"
Zuta: "That's the Shadow Eclipse, they've begun to merge with that world, and if we let them become full, we'll have to deal with a Shadow Plague Dragon Tiger, which means it's going to be a combination of dragons, plagues, tigers, and shadow controls. ”
"How can I stop him?"
Zuta: "At the stage of fusion, there is nothing I can do, unless the Wojin Sect Master is there in person, the only solution is to escape!"
"How long is it until the fusion is over?"
Zuta: "The whole process took four hours at most, and now it's been three and a half hours... ”
"Get rid of Joseph first!"
Although the order was brief, the action of the professional soldier Zuta was very high. He immediately ran to the aid of his companions. All the Death Knights were uniformly enclosed in a circular field, where two sword shadows were continuous, and the gravedigger and the chaotic wheel collided every time, not only sparking dazzling sparks, but also accompanied by a cry of mixed souls, the sirens found the right way to use the black sword, and thanks to the integration of the soul of the bell, the bears called on the rest of the souls to serve the sirens together. Only my eyes can see the gray soul, and only I can see the white bear leaning out of the body under the slash of the grave.
Joseph wielded his sword with his will, and although he couldn't see Bell's surprise attack, he was able to completely dodge the tricky blows that came from all angles. The Death Knight on the periphery did not take a step back towards the center of the circle even if he died in battle, first I and Zuta killed one, and then Seng Zheng Lao Hu and Yang Shitai combined to kill a black knight and his mount with an extremely slow fist. Except for Blind Chen, Lao Hu, and Yang Shitai, the rest of the panda people were all seriously injured, they were just too far away from the obelisk, and they did not receive much healing from the Holy Light, and the wounded were all retreating to the rear of several warbands under the care of Maraine and Abby.
Then, with Best's help, Kador slashed a death knight with an axe, and Chen, under Darwin's guidance, kicked the guy who had been poked in the air with a paper tower.
In the end, only the Sirens and Joseph were left in the battle between the celestial and the man. The companions had no chance to get close to the two of them, and if they secretly cast spells, it was easy to accidentally injure the sirens.
After a quick overview of the situation, I first ran to Abby, where the wounded person was, and asked briefly, "How is it? Not hurt?" and her answer was also very brief: "Let this stinky aunt cut twice, but it's fine." There were two scars on her shoulders that were several inches long, and her robe had been transformed into an off-the-shoulder evening gown, but the bleeding had long since ceased and was no major to the eye.
"Everyone, get close!" I shouted, there were almost no living natural disasters behind me, and the sound was relatively easy to spread. After a while, everyone except the sirens gathered me in the center, and I hurriedly told everyone about the Shadow Dragon, and Zuta explained a few obscure terms.
The shadow manipulation skills used by the Shadowhunters have been passed down from generation to generation among the trolls of the Darkspear Clan, with a few exceptions in the case of the Enchanter Hou Belduga, whose abilities were not learned from a shadow master, but by the direction of a thesis he had written when he was a mage apprentice in Dalaran, and in order to graduate, he had lurked in the cliffs around the village of Senkin, and spent weeks disguised as a bush to peek at the Shadow Hunters' inheritance teachings.
The genius magician Zuta, known as the Shadow Master, is the best inheritor of this skill, and in the eyes of the Sect Master Wojin, he is the best candidate to take over from him, but he is a little immature and inexperienced, so he is stationed in the Frostwolf Alliance to do the most basic work.
Shadow magic is characterized by its ubiquity, whether there is light or not, people or objects can produce shadows. This is probably a kind of binding magic, which cannot cause damage in the true sense, and binding, rope, and sealing are its key words. However, Zuta has developed a new function, comrade-in-arms, which allows him to use the flow of shadows to quietly move himself and his companions to safety.
And whether it is alive or after death, the dragon has a strong ability to adapt to the environment, and at this time, when you enter the shadow world, you have to merge with it, and what's worse is that Master Tiger doesn't know life and death, and may still fight the dragon to the death in the country of shadows。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。 (Rabbit pen Kang slugging cow)
