Chapter XXIII: The Battle of Theramore
Ten minutes later, the Camlido Continent, the Barren Lands, the Ghost Mist Peak.
This is an ordinary and unusual mountain in the barren land, and it is said to be ordinary because it is very desolate and full of withered weeds like the other peaks in the barren land, but it is not ordinary because the peak is shrouded in an orange smoke, which is also the origin of the name Ghost Mist Peak.
At this moment, a spell fluctuated somewhere in this desolate mountain, and Claudia and Egwene appeared.
"There's the stench of chaos everywhere," Claudia glanced in disgust at the sticky green pool not far away, "no wonder those Warlocks and Zmodor chose this as their home base." ”
"It does stink," Egwene agreed with an ugly face, "little girl, please give me some silver fire so that I can protect myself." ”
Claudia hesitated for a moment, but still sent a faint trace of silver fire to Egwen, although it was only a faint trace, but the silver fire itself is the manifestation of the divine power of order in the real world, so the little bit that was given to Egwen just now has the amount that Claudia's order sigil can transform in two days, and the divine power is much more precious than ordinary energy after all.
Egwene obviously knew the value and use of the silver fire, and she was not unhappy with Claudia's stinginess, but after getting the silver fire, she quickly used the silver fire to release a protection and purification technique, and her face immediately looked much better.
Claudia was surprised when she saw this scene, "I was very concerned when I was in Theramore just now, how can you know so much about silver fire, and even be able to cast spells with silver fire." ”
"The relationship between the Silver Fire and the Arcane Fire is similar to that of father and son, I was the guardian of the Arcane Fire, so I can use your Silver Fire as well," Egwen explained, "and after all, I have nearly a thousand years of experience in using the Arcane, and I can always master some special tips, and the one I just pointed you out is just one of the common tips." ”
I see.
Claudia accepted this explanation, and before she and Egwene teleported to Ghostly Peak, she successfully used the silver fire to successfully track down Zmodor's location with Egwene's guidance, and teleported to Ghostfog Peak with Egwen.
"Alright, little girl, we should go inside, you should already feel it." Egwen said.
Claudia nodded: "Yes, one demon lord, eight warlocks, it doesn't look like it's going to be an easy battle." ”
"But it won't be a troublesome fight, especially for Magna." Egwen glanced at the sigil phantom on Claudia's eyebrows and said meaningfully.
"But I'm not Magna."
Claudia puns on the fact that Magna means guardian in the language of the elves, but after Egwene served as the guardian of Tirisfa for nearly a thousand years, more and more people are referring to Egwene when they mention the word Magna.
Claudia was the first to enter the cave.
The cave ** is very dark, and there is a stench of evil energy and magic everywhere, and it is cold and damp, and the soles of the feet are also pitted, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.
Claudia also felt very uncomfortable, she pulled out her thin sword, called for the help of the Holy Light, and her sword immediately had a layer of golden light, dispelling the coldness at the same time, but also illuminating the surrounding path, Claudia and Egwene then advanced towards the cave**, Claudia, who was wearing a full set of enchanted plate armor and holding a sword, walked ahead, protecting Egwene as an instructor behind her.
After about twenty steps, Egwene reminded loudly: "There is a flame trap ahead, and when it is triggered, it will alarm the demons inside. ”
"So it's a flame trap."
Claudia naturally discovered the abnormal mana fluctuations there, but she only understood what that spell was after Egwene's identification and reminder, and she didn't have thousands of years of spell casting experience like Egwene after all.
Claudia kicked a stone into the flame trap accurately.
Rumble!
The roar of the trap was heard, and a large fireball immediately flew towards Claudia, and a thought flashed through Claudia, and she immediately had a golden shield like a substance on her body.
Boom!
The fireball hit the golden shield and exploded, and the shield on Claudia's body weakened a lot, and Claudia continued to walk inside with her sword, and a voice suddenly came from all directions.
It's funny, you guys can find it here.
Egwene sighed, "Stop playing such low-level tricks, Zmodor, we're not your idiot slaves, you can't scare us." ”
Egwene! What a surprise, I thought you would have died at the hands of your son, I'm so glad I could have killed you myself, and I've always been grateful for your hospitality last time.
It wasn't just the demon's voice that came, there was a lot of giggling, and the laughter was getting closer.
"Pretending," Claudia commented, "just this bunch of demons? ”
Claudia was not wrong, the giggles were getting closer and closer, and dozens of imp-looking little devils soon jumped out of the depths of the cave, and Claudia immediately rushed forward with her sword.
Although these inferior demons have an advantage in numbers, the inferior demons who can only release small fireballs are a joke in strength, and even ordinary human soldiers can easily have two or three inferior demons at the same time, let alone a top warrior of Claudia's level, she has not even used mana, and she is wantonly slaughtering this inferior demon with her skilled martial arts and swift speed.
A cold light flashed, and the three inferior demons were suddenly split by the thin sword in Claudia's hand, and then Claudia quickly jumped away from the position just now, and a small fireball immediately hit the position where Claudia had just stayed.
Boom!
There was a muffled sound, and Claudia moved to a position and kicked the little devil who had just cast a spell to attack her, and the little devil was kicked into the air by her, knocking off a few stalactites at the top of the cave and spurting blood and falling to the ground, while Claudia had moved to another position at this time, and the thin sword in her right hand slashed at another devil with a terrible sound of breaking the air.
The demons dwindled rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon, after the screams of the last demons, Claudia slowly withdrew her thin sword, and all around her were the corpses and blood of the demons who had died in various ways.
Behind Claudia, Egwene stepped forward and commented:
"Actually, you can use a more elegant way of fighting, even if you don't use silver fire, I also know that there are many holy light spells that can defeat this group of little demons more efficiently."
Claudia shrugged her shoulders and said to Egwen, feeling the aura of the approaching demon lord, "It's just a group of cannon fodder who aren't even demon soldiers, so let's warm up, and after the warm-up, I can deal with the Zmodor dish." ”
The main dish? Arrogant mortal, you will appreciate the power of the great Zmodor, and I will tear you apart in your weeping!
A furious voice came from directly in front of Claudia, and a large, rough-skinned Doomsday Guard Lord with a pair of demonic wings appeared, and behind it were eight orc warlocks with green turbans and demonic whispers.
"It turns out that the root of all the recent conspiracy and conflict in Theramore is you," Claudia's eyes grew cold, and she sneered, "I have to admit that you are uglier than you imagined, and it is time to send you back to the Twisted Void!" ”
As Claudia's words fell, the battle began, Claudia stomped on the ground, and a sacred star rushed towards Zmodor with lightning speed around her, and Claudia herself smashed into the demon lord with a whistling sound like a cannonball with the help of that huge reaction force.
It's so reckless! That's the Demon Lord!
Egwene almost exclaimed, although her lifespan of nearly a thousand years allowed her to face many things without being surprised, but this does not include the scene in front of her, the guardians of Tirisfa have never fought in this way in the past, melee combat not only has the grace of a lawbreaker, but more importantly, it is too dangerous, even if a demigod accidentally hurts the vital point, Egwene really can't understand Claudia's thoughts, obviously has enough powerful mana, why do you have to fight with the demon lord with a short attack and a long one, with the weak body of a mortal.
Zmodor didn't bother to heed Egwene's thoughts, as Queen Claudia was undoubtedly a formidable paladin to be dealt with with with caution, and with a single move of the Shadow Orb it counteracted the Holy Star, raising its greatsword in a posture.
Boom!
Claudia and Zmodor rushed together, the two weapons striking each other with a loud crunch, the huge impact force made Zmodor and Claudia each take two steps back, this time the battle was evenly matched on the surface, but in fact Zmodor won, after all, Claudia's attack also relied on the weight of herself and the plate armor.
Zmodor obviously looked a lot more relaxed, it already understood that it had a great advantage over the other party in terms of strength, not to mention that it also had eight warlocks as helpers, the other party was already dead, Zmodor laughed: "It's even more perfect than I imagined, don't worry, I will let the orcs bear the charge of killing the queen, and the alliance will definitely go crazy because of this......"
The Demon Lord's wild laughter came to an abrupt end, and Claudia had already rushed forward again, and this time, there was an esoteric sigil on her eyebrows, and her eyes had completely turned dazzling silver, and Zmodor suddenly felt a chill, as if all the details of its body had been seen through.
"No, you're not mortal!" Zmodor's panicked words rang out as he slashed at Claudia's save, and the eight warlocks each unleashed their magic to support their master.
Faced with the attack of eight warlocks and a demon lord, Claudia made the most correct reaction in an instant, she first swept her gaze over two of the warlocks, and the two warlocks who were condensing their evil energy and tried to cast a spell suddenly failed after two bangs, and then she changed to holding the sword in one hand, the position of the right hand stabbing remained the same, and the left hand was covered with silver flames to meet the demon lord's big sword.
Clang!
Claudia's silver fire in her left hand struck with the Demon Lord's greatsword with a metallic sound, and her thin sword did not pursue Zmodor after leaving a bloody flower on his left arm, but quickly flickered and jumped back after a mistake with the Demon Lord, dodging the warlocks' spells one by one, and then she stepped forward again, swinging her thin sword and fighting Zmodor.
