Chapter 119: Powerful Holy Light Attack
The high-level undead lich Darel was annoyed. I didn't expect to encounter such a powerful ambush lineup in the first attack just out of the Forest of Rest. From the current point of view, the four high-level cathar knights and the two cultists who appeared are very difficult to deal with!
What puzzled Darel was why these pesky Cult of Light would send such a powerful squad to ambush them. You must know that under normal circumstances, most of the undead creatures in this special area, even if they are attacked by the Cult of Light, are mostly alone by cultists or cathar knights.
It is said that in the Cult of Light, they usually regard this kind of invasion of this special territory as a personal experience for cultists or knights. It seems that this is also a part of the assessment of their rank promotion.
The current situation made the high-ranking undead lich Darel very puzzled, why did these Illuminati and knights, who usually acted alone, suddenly gather to ambush them?
Regardless, the powerful attacks he is currently facing have left Darel with little time to think about it.
The four Guardian Knights and two Cultists who belonged to the Holy Cult of Light made up this ambush team all looked very young. The oldest member of the grade, dressed in a white holy light robe, looked to be in his thirties. And the oldest cultist is also the leader of this ambush team, the senior monk of the Holy Sect of Light, Alaris.
Senior Monk Alaris took this ambush very seriously. The low-level Grand Monk and the four Guardian Knights around him were all helpers he had specially summoned. Because the success of this ambush is related to whether he can be promoted to archbishop.
In the human world, the sphere of influence of the Light Holy Sect is becoming larger and larger. The current Holy Cult of Light has become a true behemoth. Its direct forces have occupied 70 percent of the countries and territories in the human world. In such a large organization, the competition for internal power hierarchies is naturally fierce.
In order to be promoted directly to the rank of archbishop, the senior archmonk Alaris had to undergo all kinds of difficult tests. And the complete elimination of this group of undead creatures is one of the contents of his promotion to archbishop.
It can only be said that, unfortunately, the High Undead Lich Darel and his subordinates became the target of ambush by the High Monk Alaris.
Since this special area still belongs to the undead realm for the most part, there is a dead air everywhere in the area. In this environment, it is difficult for ordinary humans and flesh creatures to survive. Including the two Grand Monks and the four Guardian Knights, they all had to rely on the Holy Light Robe or Holy Light Armor on their bodies to resist the erosion of death qi.
It can be said that in this special area, the undead creatures occupy a certain geographical advantage. However, the human forces, mainly the Holy Cult of Light, also have their own advantages - that is, the Holy Light has a strong attribute restraint against a single undead creature. Therefore, in this special region, the war between undead creatures and humans has lasted for tens of thousands of years, and it is still a dead score.
The four Guardian Knights of the Holy Sect of Light were originally true knights with war horses. It's a pity that their war horses are very inconvenient to move in this lifeless environment. Therefore, now the four Guardian Knights can only become infantry warriors.
The big swords in their hands were all wielding sword qi attacks containing holy light attributes under the stimulation of the fighting qi in their bodies at this time. For a while, the white light shone, and the sword aura was horizontal, fiercely attacking the high-ranking lich and death knights beside the carriage from the front.
The senior Grand Monk Alaris and another Grand Monk in the right rear were also not polite, and the Holy Light Staff in their hands was waved at the same time, and a brilliant Holy Light directly enveloped all the enemies in front of them.
Despite the one-time protection of the Chain of Guardians, various Holy Light attacks have been weakened considerably. But the high-ranking undead lich Darel and his subordinates still struggled to resist. As undead creatures, they are inherently restrained by this light.
The Holy Light Illumination cast by the two Great Monks not only made them feel very uncomfortable, but their own strength was also greatly restricted. This is the grievance under attribute restraint.
The most tragic of all were the two Death Knights who were the first to pounce on the blonde cathar knight on the left. They didn't have time to return to the protective range of the Chain of Guardians, and they were directly enveloped by this strong holy light spell.
In two miserable screams, the black armor on the two Death Knights disintegrated one after another, and the bones inside were exposed to the direct illumination of this holy light, and began to vaporize rapidly, emitting puffs of white light smoke.
The Holy Light spell unleashed by the two Grand Monks put a heavy strain on the high-ranking undead lich Darrell. It had to immediately use its own trick, the Miasma of the Dead. A cloud of pitch-black light shone and bloomed quickly on the tips of Darel's outstretched bony fingers.
The pitch-black light quickly spread, and the surrounding dead air also quickly converged under the attraction of this pitch-black light cluster. The infusion of dead qi supported the continued expansion of this pitch-black light, and the high-ranking undead lich Darel and his subordinates were all enveloped in this pitch-black light.
The pitch-black light quickly dispersed all the light that invaded the Guardian Chain, and the more intense white Divine Light clashed and dissolved with each other on the periphery of the Guardian Chain. Under this fierce confrontation, the Holy Light obviously had a stronger ablation effect on the pitch-black light cluster. However, with the continuous support of the surrounding dead qi, the pitch-black light group still fought with the holy light by relying on more numbers.
At this time, the four Guardian Knights relied on the protection of the Holy Light Armor on their bodies, directly approaching the protective layer of the Guardian Chain, and slashed fiercely with the big sword in their hands one after another. The Holy Light Sword Qi emitted from the Great Sword also played a significant weakening effect on this layer of Guardian Chain. After a dozen or so slashes, the Chain of Guardians was already showing signs of instability.
Eight high-ranking lichs and six Death Knights were not idle.
However, the undead magic unleashed by the high-level lichs with all their might was strongly illuminated by the white holy light after it went out of the range of the chain of guardians and the pitch-black light cluster, and most of the undead magic below the intermediate level completely dissipated before it could reach the four guardian knights.
And the six Death Knights did not dare to go beyond the protection range of the Chain of Guardians and the Pitch Black Light Cluster, so they could only wave the long bone spear in their hands and stab the Guardian Knights outside the protective circle.
The four Guardian Knights were all quite good at dodging the bone spear's stabbing with great dexterity, only occasionally using their broadswords to block one or two hits. This attack by the six Reaper Knights didn't cause them much trouble.
The high-level undead lich Darel's trick didn't turn the tide of battle. And it's no wonder. Any one of the great monks on the other side is enough to match it. Now the two Great Monks have joined forces to attack. Darel, of course, found it very difficult.
Seeing that the situation is not good, it seems that it is impossible not to use the hole cards given by the Lich King Badair. The High Undead Lich Darel made a painful decision. You know, this is the first attack that has just come out of the Forest of Rest. Now you have to use the biggest hole card, so what if you run into danger later?
The high-level undead lich Darel hesitated, but he had to grit his teeth and make this decision. If you don't use your hole cards again, you won't be able to survive this attack.
