Chapter 421: Hold on to Despair

Freya is still alive, and she and her clergy are still fighting in the dark underworld for three days now. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

For three days, they barely rested.

There are so many Faceless that their offensive is completely sleepless. And although Freya and the others occupy the terrain advantage, at the same time, there are at most a dozen faceless people put in front of them, which is for the powerful priesthood, but it can be crushed and eliminated with just a wave of the hand.

However, no one can stand the word 'endless'.

No matter how many kills, there will always be an equal number of Faceless Ones rushing up. You can't kill the enemy, but you can't defeat the enemy. And no matter how powerful Freya and the others are, they have not yet left the scope of human beings, and their flesh and blood must be tired in the endless battle.

Freya has done it to the extreme.

They have long since changed their thinking, and they don't aim to kill or injure as many faceless people as possible, but only to delay time as long as possible.

Then, there is no need to use the precious magic power indiscriminately, especially if it is used to kill the enemy, it is simply a waste.

A few mages have long been ordered not to use magic indiscriminately, and the magic power of the priests, in addition to blessing states and healing injuries, the rest is used as a reserve to restore physical strength.

The Templars, on the other hand, were at the forefront of the entire line of defense, holding out against a constant stream of faceless ones.

But they still suffered heavy losses.

Among the more than sixty members of the Divine Officers Regiment, except for the squad that broke through, less than half of them are still alive so far. Those who die can almost always be said to have died of exhaustion.

In this kind of non-stop battle, even the Templars, who were famous all over the continent, could not sustain themselves infinitely under the intensity of the battle.

The knights can maintain their combat power for an hour in this life-and-death struggle, which is almost the limit. For more than an hour, the exhaustion of physical strength and the mental wear and tear of non-stop fighting will cause the knight's combat effectiveness to decline to a very low level, so that there will be mistakes, or they will not be able to support it, and they will be injured or even killed.

Of course, in the middle, Freya can arrange some manpower to replace the defensive line and rest. However, the knights who are replaced to rest often only rest for a while, and they have to return to battle due to accidents, or when the rotation time is up.

A little rest is better than nothing, and this is an important factor why Freya and the others were able to hold on for three full days and nights under the attack of the endless monsters of the underworld.

Still, it's almost time to run out of water.

Freya looked left and right, and she saw the sunken and depressed faces of her companions beside her, and she felt a pang of despair.

These were all high-ranking clergy from the Basilica of the Holy Child, half a squadron of Templars, and twenty or thirty middle- and high-level spellcasters. She remembered how spirited they were when they left the cathedral, pointing their fingers at Hindlaire and vowing to cleanse the land polluted by demons.

Now, however, they are in a desperate situation.

She could tell that everyone seemed to have lost any hope in their hearts. Even herself. Three days of perseverance have almost exhausted everyone's strength, and the reason why they can continue to persist is only because of a kind of inertia.

But she couldn't just give up. She is the leader of this team, and if even she gives up her last hope, who else can save them?

"Hold on a little longer, buddies!" Freya stood up, "Let's hold on a little longer, the Light shines and hope lasts forever!" Fran's warriors never flinch! ”

"Fran's warriors will not back down!" The knights replied, but the voice was somewhat weak.

In just a few moments, a Templar who had been fighting on the front line was dragged away by the Faceless, and the already somewhat shaky line of defense was missing a gap.

Needless to say, a Templar who had just come down to rest for a short time stood up and gritted his teeth to join the battlefield again. The power of the holy light that was induced should have shone brightly, but at this moment, it seemed so dim over the body.

Freya stopped him.

"Let's rest for a while, I'll go."

"Knight......" the Templar murmured. They all knew that Freya was the one who put in the most effort in this fight. A fourteenth-level knight, in three consecutive days of fighting, the total rest time is less than two hours.

Freya tucked her blonde hair, which had not yet dried her sweat, behind her ears, smiled slightly, and picked up her sword to join the battle.

Her strength was almost exhausted, and even when she was fighting, she was reluctant to use even the power of the Holy Light, so she only relied on her swordsmanship to meet the enemy.

But even so, she is still the most solid link in the defense line of the Priesthood Order-

It is also the easiest link to be targeted.

When Freya rejoined the battle for a quarter of an hour, the Faceless Ones, who had been pouring in, suddenly stopped in unison.

No one thought it was a good thing, because it had happened many times in the first three days of hard fighting.

The retreat of the Faceless does not mean that they have given up their attack, on the contrary, it is a precursor to their intensified attack!

"Cheer up!" Freya said nervously, clenching the holy sword in her hand, wondering if her remaining strength would survive the next attack.

After a moment, she felt the whole cavern tremble.

"Here ......" silently thought in his heart, looked up, and a behemoth appeared in front of him.

Nightmare Corruptor.

This monster has a similar appearance to the Faceless, but is not the same. They were much larger than the Faceless One, nearly six meters tall, and were about to touch the top of the cavern; More than a dozen stout tentacles meant that they possessed far more offensive means and more powerful power than ordinary facelessers.

And that's not the scariest part of the Nightmare Corruptor. This monster that Freya had only seen in the texts before that, as their name suggests, possessed the power of 'nightmares'.

When they move, they bring out energy that disturbs the mind. If the mind is slightly lax and unfocused, then it will be affected by its own nightmare aura, and fall into negative states such as 'powerless', 'vulnerable', 'confused', etc.

Especially, when it attacks with its thick tentacles, this psychic power is amplified to the extreme!
