Chapter 33: The Dean's Staff
Although the early encounter with Dean Garding caught Su Chen a little off guard, he was not too worried with Uther, the leader of the former paladins, by his side.
However, as the battle progressed, Su Chen soon discovered a depressing thing.
Despite his strength, Uther has lost the power of the Light as an undead, and has almost no ability to attack from a distance, and he is not a true Death Knight and cannot use the power of darkness, so he has relied entirely on his own strength to fight.
At this moment, Nagadine may be afraid of Uther's powerful power, but he has been suspended in the air.
Although everyone is in the basement, the Barov family seems to be too rich, and the basement is built like an underground palace, the hall in front of them is more than ten meters high, this Gardin is in a position several meters high, Uther, as an undead, has almost no ability to bounce, and he can't hit him at all.
The battle quickly turned into a magical confrontation between the two mages.
Enraged by the destruction of her home, Illucia became the main force in the battle, and dazzling arcane missiles continued to be sent out of her hands, almost frantically blasting into the dark dean Gardin in mid-air.
Gardin seemed to be good at fire and dark magic, and the briquette-like shadow arrows mixed with scorching fireballs continued to strike at the trio.
The various magic shields in front of the two sides continued to appear and be defeated, but Gardin's magic combat power was obviously stronger than that of Elucia, after all, he was attacking the three of them at the same time.
However, the magic attack and defense of the two sides did not last long, and Ilucia was already defending more and attacking less, obviously because she had been fighting before, her magic power was already a little weak.
Gardin naturally noticed this immediately, and even gave up his defenses with a sly smile, and began to take advantage of the opportunity to attack frantically, trying to defeat Ilucia in one fell swoop.
However, just as he was triumphant, a very discordant voice suddenly sounded in the dark hall where magic was intertwined.
"In the name of the Light—Judgment!"
With Su Chen's angry shout, a war hammer condensed by golden holy light had fallen heavily from Gardin's head, and the golden light instantly reflected the basement as if it were day.
Mages aren't the only ones with ranged skills, Paladins are melee classes, but they also have a lot of ranged skills.
Hit by the Hammer of Light, Gardin's body shook and nearly fell from mid-air.
"Paladin?!" Gardin's voice was shocked and angry, and it was obvious that he hadn't paid attention to Su Chen among the three from beginning to end.
This is also due to the fact that Su Chen has hardly made any moves along the way, so that his existence has been completely ignored.
"Exorcism!" Su Chen didn't give him any chance to buffer, and immediately cast the exorcism spell with all his strength again.
The dazzling golden light slammed into Gardin's body, hitting the ceiling above his head and then falling down heavily.
But before it could hit the ground, Uther, who had been staring at the battle situation, had already strode forward and smashed it him.
Gardin, dressed in a black robe, suddenly flew upside down like a kite with a broken string.
Su Chen immediately chased after him with the Frost Sorrow in his hand, and as the sword pointed out, the skeletons along the way were immediately harvested like wheat straw.
However, before he could catch up with the black shadow that had been knocked away, Gardin had suddenly disappeared.
"Flickering? No, it's a teleportation skill! Illusia's ice arrow also missed, and she immediately looked around, and immediately showed a look of surprise.
Flickering and teleportation are both spatial magic, but the difference is very big, flickering skills can generally only move more than ten meters of space, while teleportation can easily appear thousands of meters away, if the magic is strong, it can even appear a hundred miles away, as for the longer distance, it needs the help of the magic circle.
At this moment, there is no figure of Nagading in this underground hall, and it is estimated that he has been teleported to other places.
However, just when Su Chen was depressed, Ilucia had already stretched out her hand and pointed to the stone wall on the left, and said quickly: "I can feel the fluctuations of space and magic coming from the left, he should be over there!" ”
Su Chen immediately perked up, but before he could catch up, Uther had already rushed out in the direction indicated by Illusia.
The stone walls of the basement, though solid, had cracked and shattered under the attack of the Warhammer, and behind the stone walls was a huge room full of bookcases, which looked like some kind of book storage.
And on the ground in the middle of the stack of books was carved a complex and obscure magic circle, on which Nagadin was standing at this moment.
"Damn intruders, you're killing yourselves." Gardin growled hoarsely.
"This is my house, you are the invaders!" Elucia casually smashed a fireball at it.
"Dark Guardian!" Gardin roared in anger, and the magic circle under his feet immediately rose into a circle of black flames.
The fireball sent out by Ilucia was actually bounced back after touching those black flames, which frightened Ilucia and hurriedly used her flickering skill to dodge.
The fireball slammed into the bookcase in the distance, instantly igniting the books on it.
Uther had already rushed in front of Gardin, and the heavy hammer slammed into the so-called dark guardian with a screeching sound like metal, but the warhammer that had been invincible before was also bounced off this time.
Su Chen had to sigh at the power of magic, just a magic array could block the attack of the former paladin leader.
Of course, this is also because Uther can't use the power of the Holy Light at the moment, you must know that in that game world, Uther in his heyday can use the power of the Holy Light to defeat the fallen Arthas, if he can hold the Ash Messenger, maybe it will be Arthas who will be killed.
"Here, I am the Lord of Darkness!" Gardin, who was holding his staff, laughed excitedly.
"Yes, but I don't believe it." Su Chen also swung his sword and rushed forward, he had even killed the Dread Demon King, so naturally he would not be afraid of this Dean Gading.
The long sword in his hand touched the black flame, and it did encounter some resistance, but it quickly pierced through the leaping flames, and easily penetrated Gardin's chest.
"This ...... How is this possible, this sword? Gardin's smile instantly froze on his face, and he looked at the long sword that pierced his body in disbelief.
"It is the Lord of Darkness." Su Chen said in a low voice.
However, as an undead spirit, even if he was pierced through the chest, he immediately retreated directly to the rear, forcibly separating his body from the sorrow of Frost.
At the same time, its body flew into the air at a rapid rate again, as Uther's warhammer and Elucia's fire blast had smashed again.
After the previous battle, the attack of the three of them has been quite tacit!
But in the end, it was Uther who made the final decision - he threw the heavy hammer in his hand directly at Gardin in mid-air.
Gadin, who had managed to fly back into the air and flash the flame blast technique, was smashed into the wall by the hammer, and then there was no sound again.
"Did we win?" Su Chen didn't look at Nagading's tragic situation at the moment, his eyes were completely attracted by the things on the ground.
It was the staff that Dean Gardin had been holding before, and it had now fallen to the ground.
"This time it's finally exploded, is this thing the Dean's Staff?"
