Volume 3 Chapter 89 The Hero and the Demon King (1)
The finest longsword made by Aman Special Steel intersected with the rusty old one-handed sword, stirring up subtle sparks, but the longsword, which was superior in both material and forging process, was once again struck out of a gap. Zax looked solemnly at the monster in front of him and the jagged sword in his hand.
Passing through the fourth layer unscathed, Zax almost thought that the almost annihilation in the third layer of the maze was just his hallucination. Due to the relationship between Ku and the arrival of the demon king, the fourth layer of the labyrinth is only relying on the low-level monsters invested in the maze itself to meet the invasion. Without the special terrain bonus like the third layer, the strength of the members of the Holy Light Brigade was fully exerted, not to mention ordinary monsters, and even the guarding monsters of the fourth layer were not able to cause damage to the members of the Holy Light Brigade.
The only thing that was a little unpleasant for Zax was that after coming into contact with several adventuring groups roaming the fourth layer in search of treasures, the princess did not seem to be on the fourth level of the labyrinth. According to one of the rangers of the Adventure Group, he had seen a princess-like figure described by Zax and a group of adventurers he had never seen before heading in the direction of the Fourth Guard.
This news also made Zax have to choose to move on after searching the fourth layer for three days, entering the fifth layer of the labyrinth to find the trace of the princess.
At this time, the team of the gentleman, Elozas, had passed through the fourth layer of gatekeepers and entered the fifth layer.
In desperation, Zax chose to challenge the Gatekeeper of the fourth layer by himself, but found that he was not much stronger than the Gatekeeper of the third layer. After defeating the Gatekeeper without injury, Zax was not only suspicious, but also a little grateful to the gentleman who forced him to enter the fourth layer. With the experience of the third layer at that time, if there was no persecution from the back, the possibility of directly exiting in the third layer was very high. If you go out of the maze to prepare for supplies, and wait for your deputy to recover his combat strength, I don't know how much time will be wasted. When the time comes, the news is missed, and it is not known where the princess has gone.
Zax, who entered the fifth floor, unsurprisingly joined up with Elothas, who was stationed at the entrance to the fifth floor. The gentleman still maintains the previous style, standing still at the starting point until the road ahead is discovered, but this time it is the Wind Forest Volcano Combo that is responsible for the path. After all, their claim to enter the labyrinth was to hunt down the Ice Slayer. Of course, Zax also knew that killing it was fake, and capturing it was the real purpose. Zax even wondered if the Gentleman's purpose was to gain elemental power by making a pact with the Water Spirit known as the Ice Slayer.
At the same time, the army led by the Golden Hunter has also dispersed into the fifth layer. Their goal was to find the large life sunflower that had been seen the most in the fifth layer.
For Zax's arrival, Elozas seems to have anticipated something. Not only did he take the initiative to invite Zax to rest in his camp, but he also provided a lot of news from the Wind Forest Volcano and the Golden Hunter. Of course, in return, Elothas also asked Zax to exchange information with him when he was looking for the princess.
It's just that, full of confidence, he chose a relatively safe route, Zax, and after only half a day, he ran into huge trouble.
The monster that stopped his team looked like a very ordinary skeleton, but the pitch-black skeleton and tattered cloak proved that this monster was not as ordinary as he thought.
And after his three members were smashed in one photo, Zax's face completely changed.
Although most of the heroes are not very wealthy, and some even need to do some work outside of hero missions to make ends meet, the heroes are usually not too poorly equipped. This is due to the existence of a group of personnel in the Hero Appraisal Association who specialize in creating weapons and equipment for heroes at a low price. Most heroes can get the usual weapons and equipment for close to the cost of materials, and if you provide the raw materials yourself, you can even craft high-level weapons for free.
Therefore, although the ordinary members of the Holy Light Brigade do not have the title of hero, they can still obtain high-quality weapons to use through the share of the hero weapons of the regiment commander Zax and the two deputy regiment leaders. However, this kind of weapon that was enough to be used as a superb weapon among ordinary people, and the one-handed sword that was rusty and looked like it had been used for hundreds of years was completely shattered after only one intersection. That's right, not broken, but broken, two one-handed swords and a two-handed heavy sword smashed directly to the ground like a candy flake eaten by a child.
And his own Amante steel longsword, which is made of a mixture of rare metal Amante and refined iron, can only be maintained without being broken. Each time the weapons intersected, there was an extra notch in the longsword, so much so that now the longsword looked more like a saw used by a carpenter.
"Alas, the current hero is so weak that he can't even use the Dou Qi Blessing Weapon?"
"You, can you talk? What are you?" Zax was startled, although the strength of the skeleton monster had scared him enough, but the meaning of being able to speak was different. This represents a high level, and it is not an ordinary high level, if the undead creature wants to speak, even if it is a lich converted from a mage, it needs to reach the seventh order or above, and this one in front of him is just a skeleton soldier!
"Me?" The skeleton monster was so surprised that Zax forgot to raise his sword, and simply stopped his movements, "I'm just a senior who wants to see how strong the heroes are."
"What are you kidding, you're just a skeleton soldier, even if you have the strength of an eighth-order monster, you're still a monster!" Zax felt stupid, and actually went to ask about the identity of a skeleton monster. No, I was ridiculed, but I was ridiculed along with the title of hero.
"Uh, I didn't ...... it"
"Class Skill - Divine Light! Holy Cross Attack!"
Before the skeleton monster could finish speaking, Zax had already started attacking again. The skeleton's words just now did remind Zax that he was a Cross Knight, or a Cross Knight of the Holy Light. And the monster in front of him is the skeleton of the undead, and he is so stupid that he has been relying on weapons to fight with the other party. In fact, this can't be blamed on Zax, not to mention the undead monsters along the way in the labyrinth, and even the demonic monsters that can also receive the damage bonus of the holy attribute have not encountered one, which makes Zax's skills as a holy light knight have no place to play at all.
But now it's different, against the undead monsters, the holy light attribute can not only have double the damage effect, as long as it is released, it also has additional effects such as weakening defense, reducing speed, affecting judgment, etc., even if these effects will be very low for high-level undead systems, but they will definitely not be completely immune.
So Zax first was a blessed light, blessed his long sword that had become a saw with holy attributes and holy light defense, and then the strongest single attack among the three major attack skills of the Holy Light Cross Knight, the Holy Cross attack. The long sword slashed a holy light cross towards the skeleton monster, and it was followed by a spurt - this is an additional skill that Zax himself has practiced, the spur can greatly increase the speed of the Holy Light Cross, and the Holy Light Cross can increase the penetration of the spur, which is enough to increase the damage of the entire skill by fifty percent.
