The Beginning of Troubled Times Chapter 18: The End of the Holy See (9)
The "Knight of Damnation" Satsuma received an order from Charles to attack the Papal Palace from behind. Because of their "Knights of Damnation", a race of people with scarce and special natural abilities. Make them unfit for the task of a frontal offensive. So when the battle on the frontal battlefield gradually entered the white heat, Satsuma took his own people to hide his breath as much as possible, and rode the unique mount of the Knights of Damnation, "Nightmare Beast", to start the sneak attack mission, originally Satsuma thought that the mission would be carried out smoothly, because at this time everyone's attention was on the frontal battlefield, and no one would notice their arrival. The Nightmare Beast is a type of equine phantom beast that is black and burns with hellfire. The rarity of the "Knights of Damnation" race, in addition to the difficulty of awakening their own natural abilities, is also due to the rarity of their exclusive mount "Nightmare Beast".
Nightmare Beasts are formed under harsh conditions, they are the souls of warhorses that have died on the battlefield and are full of hatred, washed by the flames of hell and reborn. Then he broke free from the shackles of hell and ran to the present world to be called "Nightmare Beast". If this war horse is not killed on the battlefield, then there is not enough death power to condense the "war horse spirit", if the war horse does not have enough hatred after death, then this "war horse spirit" can not enter hell, even if the above two conditions are met, this "war horse spirit" comes to hell, then it still has to withstand the washing of hell fire for 7749 days before it can become a "hell war horse". Then this "hell warhorse" has to break free from the shackles of hell's power and escape to the present world to become a "nightmare beast". And this "Nightmare Beast" must find a suitable "Damned Knight" within seven days in order to survive safely in the present world. Otherwise, after seven days, the "Nightmare Beast" will be purified by the purifying power of the sun's own light.
However, if this "Nightmare Beast" finds a suitable "Wrathed Knight" and succeeds in reclaiming the Lord, then a true "Wrathed Knight" is born, and the "Hellfire" on the "Nightmare Beast" and the "Wrathed Knight" innate ability "Ghost Walk" will give anyone who encounters them a headache. What's even more terrifying is that they will continue to grow in battle, and if a "Knight of Retribution" evolves to the realm of "Holy Knight of Retribution", then he will be able to obtain the ability to summon the "Knights of Death" from the plane of death. According to legend, when the Crusaders made their seventh expedition to ancient Egypt, it was because of the appearance of a "Holy Rider of Damnation" Mehamed in ancient Egypt, who summoned a huge number of Death Knights. ruled the whole of Africa at that time, and in the end, the crusaders of the Crusade lost more than seventy percent of their soldiers to achieve the final victory, and the genius paladin of the Holy See, Count Artois, also died with the "Holy Rider of Damnation" Mahmoud. Therefore, every "Knight of Damnation" is a potential threat to humanity.
Just as Satsuma and the other seven "Knights of the Damned" were about to enter the Papal Palace, a wall of light stood in front of them. "Satsuma, you 'Knights of Damnation' are out of the nest!" Gene's voice rang out.
"Haha! Your High Priest Jean himself came out to greet you, why don't we make the ceremony a little heavier!" Satsuma was startled at first, but he didn't expect someone to find them, and then smiled. "Otherwise, others will say that we 'Knights of Damnation' don't know how to count. As he spoke, Jean stepped out of a curtain of light.
"Don't talk nonsense, I don't see a guest in the Holy See tonight, and I ask you to leave quickly with your people. Jean said angrily.
"High Priestess, have you ever seen a person enter through ......the back door!" Satsuma finished and laughed with the other Knights of the Damnation.
"If you have bad intentions, I know that it will not be good for you to sneak around. Jean said. "If you don't leave, then I'll fight until you go. After saying that, Jean began to wave his hands, and with each wave of his hands, a white four-winged cherub flew out of his hand, and Jean's magic called "Elf Descent" was just a seventh-level magic. These cherubs are all condensed by Jean with his unique life magic and holy light magic, these cherubs are docile and have little combat power in the face of other races, but they become very irritable when facing the Knight of Damnation, who has both death power and hell power, and their combat effectiveness is outstanding. Because the life force and holy light power carried by these little angels themselves are incompatible with the power of death and hell in the "Knights of Damnation". And whenever these little angels smell the simultaneous presence of the power of hell and the power of death, it is a battle that never stops dying.
When Satsuma and his people saw Jean begin to cast the "Elven Descent", they immediately drew the knight's sword from his waist. said: "Brothers, this old man seems to be fighting with us today. rushed over and killed him. With that, he took the lead and rushed towards Jean.
The "Nightmare Beast" under the constellation Satsuma also seems to have felt the four-winged cherubs constantly appearing in the sky, and the powerful vitality and dazzling holy light make it also feel threatened. After receiving Satsuma's will, the hellfire on its body suddenly swelled, and the flames enveloped itself and Satsuma, and the "Nightmaremon" man stood up and hissed, then spread its hooves and sprinted with all its might. At the moment when the Nightmare Beast began to sprint, the Damned Knight's innate ability, Ghost Pace, was unleashed. There are no spatial magic fluctuations, and there is no trace of space being torn, this is a terrible natural ability, you don't have any traces to search for where the "Knight of Damnation" will appear in the next moment, in the face of Satsuma who suddenly appeared in front of him, Jean was not affected, and continued to seriously maintain the magic of "elf descent". The Nightmare Beast snorted and snorted two bolts of hellfire at Jean like two arrows, and the knight's sword wrapped in Infern's hand slashed at the top of Jean's head at the same time. But Jean didn't care about these two attacks, he still kept waving his hands somewhere, and one after another the four-winged cherubs kept being condensed, and then they were attracted by Satsuma's hellish aura and death aura, and the cherubs all killed Satsuma with red eyes.
In the next instant, Jean in the air was scattered by the hellfire of the "Nightmare Beast" and the knight's sword of Satsuma and disappeared. Then, in another place, Jean appeared, still waving his hands, and kept condensing the four-winged cherub. "It's a magic clone, we've been fooled. Bradrick and Gabriel, you two immediately find out where Jean's real identity is. The rest deal with these pestering little ones. Satsuma said.
"Yes!" replied to the two knights in the Knights of Damnation's team, and then prepared to leave the group to search for Jean's true body. But just then another Jean appeared on top of them both. said: "If you want to break my 'Holy Wind Cloud Body Technique', it's not that simple. After saying this, Jean in the sky chanted the incantation, and then shouted: "The arc of life." An invisible magical force shot out of his hand and shot at the two Knights of Damnation. In an instant, the death power and hell power in the bodies of the two knights and the two "nightmare beasts" were quickly extracted, and then transferred to the bodies of those four-winged cherubs in a perfect arc, transforming the best nourishment for their growth.
"Save Bradrick and Gabriel. Otherwise, Jean would have sucked them both dry. Satsuma shouted as he responded to the four-winged angel that had pounced on him. As soon as the words fell, one of the knights closest to Bradrick and Gabriel brandished his knightly sword to scatter the clone of Jean who was casting spells. Then, the innate ability "Ghost Pace" is unleashed, and he quickly leaves the battlefield so that he does not get targeted by Jean.
"Everyone be careful, before you find Jean's real body, you must be careful of being targeted by his doppelganger. "Keep the 'ghost pace' on at all times." ”
Then the entire battlefield saw several "Knights of Damnation" constantly jumping in space, while Jean's magic clone kept flashing, and the four-winged cherubs chased the "Knights of Damnation" with red eyes. As it stands, this battlefield is the only one in which the Holy See has the upper hand in this battle.
