Chapter 101: Shadowfang Revenant
There was a thick stampede under his feet, imagining the appearance of the steps, Ares climbed up step by step, and the warriors of the Scarlet Crusader behind him each cast surprised glances, they saw their great lord step by step on the steps that could not be seen by the naked eye, step by step, almost disappearing from their sight.
"What are you doing? The Great Lord has proved the true existence of this step with practical actions, and those who want to be grandsons will stay and be chased by the ghosts behind. Or, just follow me, on! ”
Drumm roared, took a deep breath, and strode up, his eyes almost closed. After all, humans still prefer to believe what is in front of them. And not something imaginary.
In the end, everyone reached the top of the tower.
Here, you can overlook the entire Shadowfang Castle, and at night, it is like a giant, lying on the cliff with the endless sea in front of it. From this height, the army in the square in front of the castle was like ants, and even the light of the fire could hardly be seen.
However, just as everyone poked their heads out to watch the majesty of Shadowfang Castle, all the light sources in the castle suddenly went out!
There was a wolf-like howl all around. Shadows swept in front of him, and several blood-colored crusaders suddenly let out a terrible scream. The warm blood splattered on Ares's face, and he could feel the undead beside him, they were like ghosts, no, ghosts!
"Show up! Ghosts! ”
In desperation, Ares summoned the Light in desperation.
A bright light suddenly emanated from the palm of his hand, illuminating the entire hall. Then, the light sources converged on one point again, forming a dazzling spot of light, turning the long sword in his hand into a glittering giant sword.
Faintly, Ares saw several ghosts dressed in black, they looked like Death Knights, they didn't look like Death Knights, they had no feet, only skull bones on their faces, and no skin or flesh. Wander through the eerie castle, and when Ares summons the light, the ghosts disappear without a trace.
"What are they?"
Ares asked in surprise. Fortunately, Gianna stood there unharmed, with an angry look on her face.
"Ghosts. Some of the people who once lived in this castle, after death, their souls could not be transcended, and they were imprisoned here by Arugao, and frantically attacked the explorers who entered the castle. ”
Gianna replied resentfully. Ares knew what she was angry about, and as a once respected mage in Dalaran, Arugal had betrayed all his faith in light and become so dark and evil that he imprisoned the souls of innocents and enslaved werewolves.
"Well, it looks like I blocked the first wave of attacks for Gene and Son."
Ares said, sticking his sword into the wooden floor, then crouched down to heal the wounded Scarlet Soldier. But some were incurable, and two Scarlet Warriors had their necks wiped by ghosts, blood pouring out from beneath them.
"Hurry up, get out of here, your weapons can't deal with these undead, let me and Gianna deal with them."
Ares commanded loudly.
At that moment, ghostly cries echoed in the air again. Countless terrifying skeletons loomed all around, floating in the air like shadows, wailing and attacking Ares and the warriors of the Scarlet Crusaders.
Ares could hear the ethereal bell in the distance, like the last wail of the devil's castle, and the next second, a huge sword pierced the incoming ghost, and the holy light enveloped Ares, who didn't understand what was going on until it died, and saw its own ethereal body burning, and then the flames burned it completely. A revenant soul is liberated......
But the others were not so lucky, and one by one the Scarlet Crusader warriors fell, and in desperation, Ares thrust his greatsword into the floor, "O Holy Light, save them, and dispel these demons!" Ares prayed almost half-kneeling.
In the next moment, infinite light spread out from the paladin's body, forming a circular wave of light that expanded rapidly, and the mournful cries of the surrounding spirits could be heard.
It turned out that the shouting in the hallway just now was made by these ghosts...... Everyone immediately understood what was going on.
The dissipated ghost, the energy of the holy light was still surging in the room, like countless tiny spots of light, illuminating the entire room.
"You're finally here, paladin......"
At this moment, the strange sound was heard in the air again. However, this time, it was clear to everyone that it was no longer the voice of the undead, but the voice of a human. Arugao ...... Yes, only he, only he has the ability to transmit such a strange sound from such a distance.
"Arugao, your end has come."
Gianna replied in the words of a mage. It's like the flow of energy, through a magical medium, that travels far and wide.
"Come on, then."
The ghostly sound in the air came to an abrupt halt. With the sound of hurried footsteps, Ares noticed that Jean and Liam had climbed up the hallway. Clearly, they've been through a vicious battle, and they're all stained with the blood of zombies and blood-toothed werewolves.
"Ares, you have cleared the way for us. Thank you. ”
Jean replied breathlessly. Like Ares, he was covered in heavy armor and climbed forty or fifty floors, and he was already exhausted...... Liam is relaxed, in his werewolf form, full of energy, and without heavy armor, his physical strength seems to be sufficient.
"Without further ado, come on, King Jean, let's go side by side, the biggest threat to this castle, the giant wolf Wolgen, has not yet been solved, bring plenty of soldiers and weapons, and prepare for a hard fight."
As he spoke, Ares pulled out the fallen Ember Messenger and walked with King Jean onto the aerial corridor.
The skywalk was built halfway between the Dark Citadel and the Magic Tower, and below the abyss, Ares couldn't understand how such a stone bridge could have been built. But in Azeroth, nothing is impossible......
The corridor seemed to be in disrepair, or almost rarely set foot in this place, walking on it, a strong sea breeze blew against every advancing soldier, and occasionally gravel rolled down, and for a long time, no sound of stones falling was heard......
