Chapter 181: The Sorrowful Paladin
Demon?!
Sauron's leaping figure suddenly stopped, and he turned to look into the distance, where the fire had gradually spread to the point where it was almost out of control. He didn't have any detection spells, so he couldn't see what was going on, but after hearing the shouts, he found that the troops of the City of Fortune were gathering in the back, and some of the priests appeared in a hurry, and the Priest of Fortune, who had planned to stay out of the way, was finally going to suppress the chaos this time.
"That's not right!"
Sauron jumped onto the chimney and frowned, "Demons don't have such a big hand!" This is obviously someone provoking and exacerbating the conflict! Could it be that the devil is still lurking here?! ”
Only the devil can be so powerful.
This group of guys likes to play with people's hearts the most, and if they take advantage of the appearance of the paladins, they are combined with the power of magic such as suggestion, and are used to provoke the people of the dark camp and the gray realm, then it can easily turn into a war in the end. The evil ones who are not willing to wait for their death will unite to resist, and once they desperately resist, the scale of the battle will escalate, and it may involve others as well, and finally turn into a complete chaos and killing.
"Where's the legend?!"
Sauron stood on a high vantage point and looked at the entire city, muttering, "Why hasn't the legendary pro made a move yet?" Are they going to let things get to this point? ”
"What about the Silver Hand?"
"He's not a stupid man! Where is he now? ”
Riots are spreading.
The city legion confronted the summoned demons, and these summoned demons were still summoning more demons, and a berserk demon actually found dozens of cowardly demons with a spell-like ability. A four-armed snake demon with a rank above the fourth rank close to the legendary went on a rampage, the snake parade moved at an astonishing speed, and the four giant swords slashed through the sky with sword light, and almost everywhere it passed was corpses, and almost no one could stop it except for the legendary professional!
The creature level of the four-armed snake demon is 18. Already a mid-level or above demon.
Advanced Dual Weapon Combat, Advanced Multiple Attack, Powerful Slash, Powerful Slam, Medium Spell Resistance, Medium Damage Reduction, Toxin Immunity, High High Acid Resistance, Defend in Attack, Battle Reflex!
A series of specialized abilities make the danger of the four-armed snake demon skyrocket, and it is simply a highly mobile killing machine!
Sauron stopped his advance.
Things are starting to get out of hand, and it's getting very dangerous.
………………
Knock knock!
Sauron's figure shook suddenly, almost falling off the roof, his heartbeat began to accelerate inexplicably, his heart rate increased by half compared to before, and the blood squeezed from his heart surged all over his body, exposing his blood vessels directly to his skin. The sensation that had been there resurfaced, Sauron's body temperature was rising little by little, and a little bloodshot appeared in his eyes. There are obvious signs of dilation in the pupils. This feeling lasted for about three minutes, and then Sauron's state gradually recovered.
"Vivien!?"
Sauron seemed to sense something, and muttered, "She's here too?!" ”
There was a cry in the alley ahead.
Sauron looked around with a frown, then landed lightly and glanced over the side. This glance made him take half a step back, and then reached out and grasped the scimitar, because in front of him was a young paladin. The other party was wearing silver-white knight's armor, with some vague broken scars, and a faint holy power surrounded by the blade. And drops of blood slipping down. The young paladin didn't seem to notice Sauron, his body trembling slightly, he stuck his sword into the ground, and reached out with both hands as if he was trembling to pick up a petite corpse.
It was a little girl who was at most a teenager.
She is a victim of this chaos. An innocent and poor little girl died in this chaos.
A faint cry came.
The young paladin trembled and picked up the little girl's body, his eyes were already blank, and the expression on his face was full of remorse and powerlessness. He let out a suppressed and silent roar, muttering in a mournful voice, "Why is this happening! ……”
"Why is this happening?! …… Aren't we guarding justice? …… Why are so many people killed? ……”
"Why !!"
Tears fell one by one, and the paladin in front of him cried like a child with broken hopes.
Maybe he's really not that big. Judging by his countenance, he was only twenty years old at most, and this paladin Sauron had the slightest impression that it was the young paladin who spoke first during the day. At this moment, the light of the holy power on his body was already swaying, like a candle flame flickering and flickering, as if it could be extinguished at any time. His faith has been shaken, and if he can't stand up for it, then he will lose the power of the Paladin and become an ordinary warrior.
His faith was close to collapse.
He didn't understand why it was the way it was, he didn't understand why so many people were killed, he cried like a child.
Because he was just a young paladin.
He may be kind at heart, maybe full of blood, but he is still too young.
He was crying, not weak, but sad.
He may not be afraid of bloodshed, he is not afraid of evil, he is not afraid of death, but he is afraid of what he sees in front of him, and this qiē happened because of them, because of their actions to uphold justice, they set off a killing war, which threw the whole city into chaos and caused many innocent people to die in this war.
He was lost, he didn't know whether the justice he believed in was or not!
Sauron fell silent.
The light on the young paladin was getting dimmer, he was about to lose the power of faith, and the holy power was moving away from the young man, because his heart was full of confusion.
"Because you're not strong enough!"
Sauron spoke suddenly, and he woke up the paladin in front of him, but the other party did not raise his weapon, but only stared at him with blank eyes, still holding the body of the little girl.
Sauron looked at him with a look of pity and said slowly, "Because you are still too weak. You have no power to destroy evil, but you have provoked a war between good and evil! ……”
"Your ignorant actions will only bring killing and death, and will only disrupt order and kill more innocent people."
"What do you do to fight evil? You are not as powerful as demons! You don't have devilish cunning! Those evildoers have countless insidious and cunning methods, and unless your power can completely crush them, the justice you have always believed in is nothing more than a joke! The Fallen have used you to provoke wars, they have achieved their goals, but you have borne your sins! ……”
The brilliance on the young paladin dissipated.
With infinite pain and remorse in his eyes, he hugged the body of the little girl in his arms tightly, and let out an angry scream.
The young man lost the power of the paladin.
A strange light appeared in Sauron's eyes, he looked at the young man in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "You are not strong enough, you are not cunning enough, you don't even know what evil is, and what do you use to protect justice?" ”
"If you're strong enough, stronger than the Legend, you'll be able to stop the night and destroy the Fallen."
"If you are cunning enough, more cunning than the devil, you can destroy them by other means, and they have no chance to weave a conspiracy, let alone cause chaos and killing."
"You're just a pathetic puppet, an idiot who thinks that believing in justice in your heart will change the world."
"You're only going to make the world a worse place!"
A sentence seemed to pierce the heart with a sharp blade, the young paladin trembled all over, he seemed to be struggling, but he gradually understood something, the silver-white armor on his body gradually dimmed, and the holy power on the knight's sword next to him dissipated, and a trace of strange aura gradually emerged. He stretched out his palm and slowly grasped the hilt of his sword, and whispered in a hoarse voice, "As long as I am stronger than them and more cunning than them, I will be able to destroy them?" ”
Sauron's expression was rather playful, and he said in a deep voice, "Yes." ”
"This is just the beginning of the chaos, and the world will be even worse in the future! You can't do anything without power, give up those pathetic creeds, and if you really believe in righteousness, then you have to fall into evil. ”
"Only evil can fight evil!"
"Go find your own path. Youngster. There is a group of beings called the Holy Avengers, and they will show you the way! ……”
Sauron's figure disappeared into the darkness, leaving only a young man who had lost the power of the paladin, he slowly picked up the cold body of the little girl, and then pulled up the long sword with a hint of strange aura, the power of the paladin did not seem to disappear, but transformed into another power. He turned and walked into the darkness, the silver-white armor became mottled in the darkness, and the holy power that was originally attached to it passed away because of the dissipation of faith, and the darkness shrouded in this silver-white armor, which may make him degenerate into an evil dark guard, or it may allow him to find new justice.
He fell.
But it doesn't seem to have fallen either.
This is a war of faith and will, this war has no blood, if he wins, he will be the legend of the future, and if he loses, he will lose himself.
This is the holy warrior that Sauron wants to see, and it is also the holy warrior who fought on the front line back then.
Three million paladins held up the backbone of the world, and they failed to change it, but they also prevented the gods from tearing it to pieces.
Welcome to the wickedness of order.
You should be qualified to be- Holy Avenger!
Perhaps there will never be a paladin in this world again, but Sauron hopes to see the Holy Avengers in a turbulent year.
It's time for them to show up, too.
Good and evil are not so important, chaos is the real disaster!
