Matt's body had become very inflexible due to serious injuries, and this sword light could not be dodged.

Grande didn't have time to think about it, and several solid defensive spells were cast at the same time.

As a result, this sword light pierced through two stone walls and an ice wall in succession, and finally canceled each other out with a force field shield.

And before he could say anything, Yue's third sword light slashed out first.

Grande sighed, and instead of casting any more defensive magic, a "gate to the astral plane" opened at Matt's feet.

So the blonde knight fell in with his horse.

Yue was stunned when she saw this.

She recognized the spell, but even she was a little surprised that Grande was able to cast it.

Maybe he's only recently mastered it.

After the Great Dark Ages, the spell "Astral Gate" was almost lost.

This spell is so complex and mana-intensive that it is almost impossible for even a handful of mages at the top of the Transcendent Rank to cast it.

Even if it is used, the door to the space that opens is extremely dangerous, and it is said that it can make people blow themselves up, and entering the door is almost equivalent to suicide.

And this spell is not like the legend that it can travel to the sea of stars, or even reach the alien plane, but I don't know where to throw the person who enters the door, only a powerful mage who has studied this spell to the extreme level of proficiency can reluctantly set the space marker and specify the approximate place to go.

But once you can really master this spell and carefully set up the road marker where you want to go, the "Astral Gate" can almost instantly allow the caster to cross this world.

This mage is indeed powerful.

Since Grand dared to use this spell, then Matt might already be thousands of miles away.

The moon finally stopped.

Her blood-red eyes stared at Grande without emotion, and she said only one word: "Someone." ”

The mage shook his head and said, "He is my friend and comrade-in-arms for more than a hundred years. ”

Then another sword light appeared, this time targeting Grande himself.

The mage does not dodge or dodge, and the multiple defense magic takes effect on its own, and all kinds of such flashes, defenses, and geometric patterns flash out to block the sword light, narrowly blocking the sword light.

The light dissipated, but the moon in front of the mage was gone.

He was about to cast a spell when the tip of a dagger stabbed out of his chest.

The mage who was impaled from behind had a surprised expression, but there was no panic, fear, or despair.

He smiled and asked, "Doesn't feel right?" ”

It really doesn't look like a dying person.

Yue jumped back to the ground and said expressionlessly: "Hide your head and show your tail." ”

She realized that the person in front of her was just an illusion, and her real body didn't know where to hide.

The other party's magic attainments were too much higher than hers, and she couldn't find them.

The mage's vision snapped his fingers again, and the bone horse that had disappeared from the sight of both sides in the distance, dragging the black knight's body to escape, also fell down the "Astral Gate" with the body.

Then Grande sighed softly and said, "I can't watch him die in front of me." You can rest assured that I don't and don't want to betray Miss Nightmoon right now, and Matt will guard her and not let him do anything that threatens her. ”

As soon as the conversation changed, he said again: "Miss Yue, you are really the genius I have only seen in my life. At the same time, he practiced various other miscellaneous sciences such as black magic, divine magic, natural magic, elemental magic, and swordsmanship and archery, which were obviously different or even compatible, but he actually cultivated them in tandem and comprehended them, and in just ten years, he reached his current level. If I'm really here, I'm afraid I'll be killed by you if I'm not careful, right? Miss Nightmoon is also lucky to have your company and protection. ”

The mage seemed to have touched the right temper of the moon, and as soon as she heard "Miss Night Moon", the elf's expression was not so cold, but her words were still sharp: "I have already told Little Night Moon that I am going to hunt down Matt, so naturally I won't let him escape punishment like this." I will make it so that all those who are unfaithful will not dare to betray her, and that all those who have any intentions against her will no longer covet her. You shield this traitor now, and I will make you pay the price too. ”

After saying that, the elf had a flash of inspiration and disappeared in place.

The mage smiled and muttered, "I'll pay the price myself." You don't want anyone to beat her, you just want to take her for yourself, right? A greedy little girl, she is really possessive. ”

――――――――――――――――――――――

The Battle of the Divine Blessing ended in a crushing defeat for the Empire.

The Imperial Army was ambushed by the evil undead and was almost wiped out.

A large number of powerful nobles and officials were killed or disappeared in battle, and the missing list even included Carlocus Wright, the second in the Prince's faction, and William Harris, the commander of the Divine Blessing Garrison.

It is even rumored that even His Majesty's only grandson, First Rank Priest Peter White, disappeared in the battle.

The necromancers and necromancers have seized and held the supposedly impregnable Divine Blessing, and it seems that they want to use this as a basis for rapid expansion of their evil territory.

When the news came, the whole country was shocked.

The fears of the Dark Lord had once again gripped the hearts of the people of the Empire, and the people were so uneasy that the inhabitants of the neighboring provinces even began to flee north.

But in this battle, many glorious heroes also emerged.

Miss Yuri Chill, who showed her extraordinary magical prowess in this battle, is the only daughter of Theon Chill, the Empire's chief court mage, and now serves as the Princess's Clerk;

For example, Brontë, the first rank priest of the empire who saved countless people in battle and is said to have killed many undead with his own hands;

For example, in the early years, she followed her father to fight in the north and south, and the princess Anna Wright, who was very active in this battle;

And among these heroes, the most dazzling is Her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth Wright, the princess of the empire.

She led her army to the aid of the Divine Blessing, and when she was ambushed and raided by an undead army several times her size, she led the remaining humans to fight the evil undead for a day and night, and not only successfully broke through the siege, but also rescued a large number of people.

Her heroic deeds were written by the empire's propaganda agencies, and even written lyrics and music to make poems and sung throughout the country, becoming a panacea for stabilizing the hearts of the army and the people.

However, according to the rescued people and some soldiers, there was actually a young man who was only briefly mentioned in the battle and made people think that his deeds were too exaggerated.

All who claim to have seen him say that he is the Holy One, the Divine Messenger, and the Light of Salvation.

It is said that in this battle, he incarnated as a seraph with wings covering the sky and the sun, and with his supreme divine power, he forcibly opened three ways to survive in the sea of the dead.

He is the real hero of this battle, and the real savior of this world.

That's what everyone who claims to have seen him on the battlefield, and almost all of the people he took away from the Divine Blessing have become the most hardcore Cult of the Illuminati, but the object of faith seems to have secretly changed from the stone statue of the Holy See to this specific savior.

This person, according to some people, is said to be the famous Divine Officer Wende Lee who was famous all over the world for curing His Majesty the Emperor a while ago.

But he didn't admit it.

In fact, the legendary sage on the battlefield drifted away directly after opening his way to life with his divine powers, thinking that he was a true saint who rejected all worldly rewards and honors.

And the admiration, worship and belief in this saint also quietly began to spread among the people of the empire.

――――――――――――――――――――

Along with the news of the defeat, which spread throughout the country, was an order to prepare for war.

The propaganda war to shape the hero is only the first step.

The empire's vast war machine is ready to run at full speed.
