Chapter 28: The Shadow of the Riot (3)
Dark golden armor peeked out of the mist, and a flying helmet of the same color, and the visitor was wrapped in a sturdy armor, holding a huge metal shield in one hand and a giant broadsword in the other. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The armor and shield on his chest had a griffon with outstretched wings, which seemed to be a sign of sorts, but Leo didn't recognize it.
Through the cracks in the helmet, two glowing blue flames could be seen, which were the soul fires unique to the necromancers.
"This is a servant of the Mage's Guild, named 'Dahl's Revenant'."
"It seems that the war of the end did not completely wipe them out, but they moved from the north to this frontier land."
Iros whispered, his voice a little solemn.
The Dal here does not refer to a person's name, but to the boundary between the north and south of the continent, the Dal Mountains. In the final battle between the "Mage Guild" and the "Spirit Ring", an elite knight group sent by the Southern Empire was ambushed, and all the knights were made into rune puppets and active on the battlefields of various strongholds, and the griffin symbol on their bodies was the banner of the Southern Empire named "Guy".
How to drive the living with the path of runes is a difficult problem, and its existence is a legend, so there is almost no information about the "Soul of Dahl" in historical documents, and even Iros is not very aware of it, after all, she is not directly involved in the battle.
But now, as one of the secret weapons of the Mage's Guild, it shows Leo and Iros for what it really is.
Using the body of the dead as a carrier and the power of the path of runes as the core, you can still feel the breath of old alchemy from the monster in front of you.
What should have been a brave and fearless warrior has been turned into a killing machine by demons, and there is no more way to trample on their dignity.
"In the Battle of the End, it is the guardian of the 'mark', a warrior whose combat strength is close to the sixth level."
"Although they are monsters that have never been seen before, since there is a 'Dahl's Revenant' appearing, that is to say, this green crack is a 'mark'!"
"Be careful! It could be even stronger than that silver demon! β
Iros's voice froze, as if he had discovered some shocking secret.
There was a hard grinding sound, and the Revenant raised his griffon shield, and without any charging movement, rushed towards Leo like a tiger.
In a short dash, the two blue flames in its helmet locked tightly on Leo, and the angle of the broadsword in his hand was adjusted in an instant.
It was only when the overwhelming body approaching that it was nearly three meters closer that Leo realized the trickiness of the other partyβthe huge broadsword could reach anywhere he had reached in a short time, which meant that he had nowhere to escape.
Unlike the previous spirit monsters who only used brute force and fought in a simple and direct way, Leo felt the pressure from this revenant's body, which was the pressure of his battle-hardened opponent.
"Ding! Skill [Demon Guardian] has been released! β
With the careful addition of the Demon Guardian and a slight increase in resistance, Leo held his sword in both hands and tried to block the revenant's slash.
But the moment the pale blue shield opened, the Revenant changed its attack, and it cunningly withdrew its flickering sword, and the griffon's shield on the other side slammed into the shield, and cracks instantly spread across the shield.
Shouldn't it be better to cut through the shield with the sharpness of a broadsword than the sluggish collision of a shield?
The thought flashed through his mind, Leo's pupils shrank, as if answering a question in his mind, and a green glow lit up on the griffon's shield.
The activated green light swelled into the phantom of a griffon, screaming in front of Leo.
The concussive sound pricked his eardrums, and a terrifying feeling of vertigo hit his mind.
"Ding! Take a special attack! In a [dizzy] state! β
"Ding! Current health 1988/2100!"
"Ding! Under the effect of the artifact [Life Cultivation Ring], the [Stun] state is lifted! β
The ring in his hand flashed red, and the terrible feeling of grogginess disappeared, but the revenant had already seized this rare opportunity, and the griffon's shield that crashed into the shield was one step closer, and the heavy force came universally.
The Demon Guardian was smashed into countless blue shards, and Leo immediately realized that if he was hit by the shield in the hands of the Revenant, he would immediately lose his balance, and he would be greeted next by a deadly broadsword slash.
Since the shield was already close at hand, it was impossible to release the [Silver Moon Slash] that needed to be charged at this moment, and could only be dealt with with the [Thrust] that released the fastest speed.
[Fluorescent Sword] erupted with white light, Leo took a step back, and the skill [Thrust] came out of his hand.
"What?!"
He's seen the quintessence of combat.
The sound of gold and iron splashed along with the sparks, and instead of being repulsed, the revenant was closer to Leo, because the Fluorescent Sword was not pierced in the center of the griffon's shield.
At the moment when Leo used his skill [Thrust], as if he had calculated the landing point, the Revenant suddenly stabbed the shield to one side, and the [Fluorescent Sword] grazed the shield, and deep scratches suddenly appeared on the smooth shield.
It lowered its body, and with a sudden force, the broadsword reflecting the cold light slashed directly at Leo's side.
However, due to getting too close to Leo and maximizing the power of the Third Shelter, its speed slowed down a lot.
Leo, who had always been at a disadvantage in battle, was not sure why the speed of the Revenant had slowed down so much, but he would not miss such an opportunity.
[Spike]!
The retraced [Fluorescent Sword] slammed into the broadsword's sword, and the heavy force erupted with Mars, and both sides retreated several steps at the same time.
"Whew, I'm really surprised-"
Leo had just stabilized his body, and luck rose in his heart, and the revenant, who had also been shaken back, immediately adjusted his balance and rushed over with a broadsword, forcing back the remaining half of his words.
The stormy and frenzied sword shadow struck Leo, although he didn't have a hard time dealing with the bonuses of [Sword Mastery] and [Basic Sword], but the elusive griffin shield of the opponent could always block his slash at the most critical time.
"Is the monster of the end war so strong?"
Leo gritted his teeth and deftly shook the soul of the dead with a sword, but it immediately blocked it against the griffon's shield and slyly stuck to it.
The sparks continued to bloom in the space between the two sides, the sound of swords colliding with each other became more and more intense, and the number of times the revenant swung their shields became more and more frequent.
Immediately, scratches of different shades appeared everywhere on the armor on the revenant's body, but it was still as calm as a machine, and the furious sword shadow was getting faster and faster.
"Ding! Current HP: 1943/2100! β
Although the body had been systematized, non-important attributes such as stamina and stamina were still rapidly declining on the panel, and the weak arms that felt it were only slowed down for a moment, and the revenant spirit swung his sword like a hungry wolf into this gap, leaving a sword wound on his shoulder.
At the same time, a sour and numb feeling came from the wound, and sure enough, as he expected, there was some kind of toxin on the broadsword that reflected the strange cold light.
"Ding! Under the effect of the artifact [Life Cultivation Ring], the [Paralysis] effect is weakened. β
"Ding! Under the effect of the skill [Third Protection], the [Paralysis] effect disappears. β
The effect of paralysis spreads quickly, but his [Third Shelter] can last for a while, and the negative effects are quickly removed.
The Revenant is a complete killing machine, tireless and fearless, Leo, who originally had an advantage in speed, gradually fell into defeat when his physical strength and stamina value dropped rapidly.
[White Hot] + [Spike]!
Finally seized an opportunity and broke through the impenetrable and sudden sword shadow of the other party, but it was still the griffin shield that greeted the [Fluorescent Sword].
Although the surface was already potholed, it still blocked Leo's skills with sparks splashing around.
"Ding! [Fluorescent Sword]'s durability is consumed by half! β
The bad news followed, a pale yellow durability bar was enlarged on the attribute interface, and at this time, more than half of the empty slot was already part, and the violent impact just now caused a lot of durability loss.
If you look closely, you can see that there are already slight cracks on the blade of the [Fluorescent Sword].
And since the phantom of the green griffin appeared, he hadn't heard Iros's voice, presumably because of the scream.
However, in the subsequent battles, the Revenant did not use that skill again, which is good news.
"In that caseβ"
Leo's eyes fell cold, and he didn't have to think about it at this moment to know that if he continued to fight like this, he would only be consumed to death.
Although he also thought about shifting the battlefield and looking for a chance of winning with various terrains of forests and trees, the grappling on the opposite side was too powerful, and he was completely passively beaten, and even if he found an opportunity, he would be stopped by the shield.
Due to all kinds of restraint and restraint, he and the revenant fought very aggrieved.
But if he insists on receiving a slash from the revenant, and has the time to release the [Silver Moon Slash], maybe there is a possibility of reversing the outcome of the victory.
"Ding! The duration of the skill [Third Asylum] has reached the upper limit! The effect is gone! β
Just as he was thinking about it, the duration of the [Third Shelter] suddenly ended, and the revenant soul seemed to have instantly lifted the shackles on his body, and countless crack-like sword shadows were much faster.
"Ding! Current HP: 1919/2100! β
"Ding! Current HP 1891/2100! β
The chest and neck were all swept by the sharp sword blade, the blood slowly overflowed, and the feeling of soreness and numbness gradually spread.
He had to urge the artifact [Cultivation Ring] to use the last [Third Protection].
"Ding! Skill [Third Protection] has been released! The current number of uses is 0/3! β
To Leo's surprise, the moment the [Third Asylum] was released, that is, the moment when the skill was full of coercion, the revenant soul seemed to be mixed with something invisible, and its speed slowed down a lot.
Absolutely good opportunity, Leo doesn't even think about it, and getting rid of it is [White Hot] + [Spike]!
The tyrannical sword light was blocked by the griffin shield raised in time, as he expected, and sparks flew in all directions, both sides were shocked, and at the same time there was a gap.
But this small gap was not enough to release the [Silver Moon Slash], Leo knew it, and the [Wang Yan Talisman] on his neck suddenly lit up.
The moment he activated the [Life Cultivation Ring], he discovered that the [Flowing Fire Strike] had already completed a charge, which was a coincidence.
Golden flames rose between the two, slamming into the revenant's griffon shield, the bursting golden sparks knocking it back several steps, nearly losing its balance.
Although it quickly regained its balance, the spark in front of the Revenant's eyes dissipated, and the flowing silver light filled its vision.
The huge silver crescent moon struck with an unstoppable momentum, as if it was about to crush it.
In the face of Leo's [Silver Moon Slash], the two blue flames in the revenant's helmet shook violently for the first time.
