Chapter 38: Betrayal

Cattrick was stunned at the sight of the bloody blade protruding from his heart, his neck like a rusted mechanical wheel, and it took him a long time to turn halfway and look behind him.

The old guy behind him, who had always behaved harmless to humans and animals, still had a calm face at this time, but he could feel a deep banter in his eyes.

"You ......"

In the next moment, Katrick's head flew up. At the same time, there were also thirty alchemy fires, which Ellison had originally prepared for Raven's strangulation golem.

The targets of the alchemy fire are all aimed at Ellison and the Dark Guard, who are busy.

Ellison turned his back to this side, reacting a beat slower. But the Darkguard did a good job of fulfilling his accusation as a bodyguard.

"Come out! My buddy! ”

On the ground in front of the alchemy fire group, a large piece of land instantly boiled and spewed out a deep black gas, and a huge armored skeleton appeared in front of the two of them, spreading its arms, almost blocking all the alchemy fire.

The flames reached the shadow plane, turning a thick inky black, and their heat did not diminish in the slightest. Blocking Ellison's view and his last chance to save Cattrick's life.

It was as if all the blood in his body rushed to his eyes in an instant, and a feeling that his eyeballs would explode at any time filled Ellison's eye sockets, and his voice was full of terrifying hoarse transposition: "Bastard--you bastard-you liar who should be the lowest maggot in the Endless Abyss!" I'll kill you! Tear to shreds! Let your soul torment forever in the flames of hell! ”

"Hahaha-" In the void, there was the wild laughter of the old thief Van Defa: "He is worthy of being a literate priest, and he is so literary and artistic even when he scolds a person!" ”

"Why? Why did you betray me!? Ellison's nails dug deep into his palms.

"Betrayal? There was no such thing as loyalty between us from the beginning! The shadows are the realm of our lord Meske! How could I sell my lord's treasure for the sake of a waste apprentice. Think of how wonderful it would be for a priest of Shirek to become a sacrifice of the Shadow Orb Advancement! ”

Ellison fell silent suddenly. Ciric has never been a true ally, and it is not uncommon for Shirek to be sold by any god in the habit of selling his teammates. If you really want to blame, you can only blame yourself for the obsession with Raven and the greed for the Shadow Orb that overwhelmed his sanity.

Of course, the performance of the old thief is also quite exciting, and he has been loyal to his duties since he entered the team. then helping to treat the wound, then further distracting Cattrick with shocking news, and finally getting Cattrick to relax his defenses in the name of digging deep into the wound.

As a result, Ellison's number one thug, the Silver Pinnacle Shadow Dancer Katrick, has died!

The old thief chose to attack Cattrick, presumably with the intention of stealing his powerful basic attributes.

Now, Ellison didn't have time to pay attention to what the old thief had gained.

The flame of light will always cause trouble on the shadow plane.

Everybody knows that.

Without saying another word, Ellison suddenly chose to go all out.

"Pardon! In the name of my lord, the god of murder, Siric, come out! Faith Guard! ”

With Ellison's low snort, an indistinct ghost guard appeared out of thin air in front of Ellison, its gleaming shield clearly inscribed with Ciric's white skull emblem surrounded by purple-black light. Any enemy that approaches Ellison will be bitten by its blazing light.

"The power of the sea of stars, pass through time and space! I command you to clothe my servants with the armor of the starsβ€”the armor of faith! ”

The power of the magic further strengthens the Dark Guard's defenses.

That's not enough! At Ellison's chanting, he also summoned the Shield Defender. A shimmering Heroic Warrior stepped into the mortal world to aid in the defenses. Then various auxiliary spells were unleashed and blessed Ellison, the Dark Guardian, and their summons.

This is the horror of the priests, as the priests of the gods, they have most of the methods to pull up a small army of strengthened versions on their own. If it weren't for the fact that the Divine Magic had restrictions such as level and number of uses per day, the Priest would have been able to easily sling all the other professions.

The old god had snuck away, perhaps still peeking at Ellison in the corner.

Ellison didn't care so much, neither he nor the Darkguard had the superior stealth ability of a wanderer.

They knew that the alchemy fire they threw out would provoke something terrible, but until the heat completely dissipated, they had no way to escape.

The enemy is coming.

In the distance, a huge spherical cloud drifted through the light, and when Ellison saw black tentacles sticking out of the opaque core, he was not in good shape.

"O Supreme Ciric, give me the strength to defeat this black hole monster!" The prayer that sprang out of Ellison's mouth was desolate and bitter.

Black Hole Monsters are shadow-like undead demons, these ** monsters are different in size, and they grow larger as they absorb life energy and gradually evolve. The small black hole monster looks like a cloud of shadows, while the large black hole monster is like a huge pitch-black ball, full of nothingness, it can absorb the light around it, the power of living beings, manipulate gravity and even time, and is immune to most energy attacks.

The one in front of me is at least a large black hole monster, and the challenge level is likely to be as high as level 64.

The moment Cattrick died, Raven received the message. Because the Red Knight's strategy chessboard came directly from the voice of a boring god.

"Yo, little one, you've made another prediction. Are you sure you're not a prophet reincarnated or something? "The magnetic heroic female voice of the Red Knight, even if she speaks in a languid tone, still has a certain intimidating courage.

Well, it's not reincarnation, it's time to be reborn!

After Raven complained in his heart, he didn't reply to the Red Knight positively, but said, "Since I won, shouldn't I turn on the final mode of the chessboard for me?" ”

In an instant, his body froze, and the god's gaze swept over Raven's body like a scan, as if all the secrets in his heart could not be hidden under this gaze.

"I wonder what your little brain is made of? Isn't there an old polymath whose brain has run into your head? Do you know this? ”

"I guess." Someone who lies doesn't have a red face and a heart that doesn't beat.

"Did you guess it from my priesthood?"

"That's right! War! The victor gets everything and writes history. ”

The Red Knight was a little distressed: "I admit that you have brought me a pleasant battle of intrigue. But I'm not going to help you deal with a priest of Ciric out of a momentary pleasure. ”

The Red Knight's subtext was that she didn't want to be entangled by Ciric's mad dog.

"No, no, no! I don't need you to show up in person, I just need you to do it......" Raven smiled and made a secret offer to the Red Knight.

A minute later.

"Alright! Little one, you convinced me. In doing so, even the harshest gods could not be condemned to me. Just do what you say. ”

"Thank you for your generosity, Red Knight."

"By the way, if you are still alive after this incident, would you be interested in becoming my priest?"

"Thank you very much for your appreciation, but unfortunately, I am on the path of shadows."

The Red Knight's offer to Raven was decisively rejected by Raven. Are you kidding! The Red Knight is just a god with little divine power. Raven clearly remembered that this thing had fallen before it even made it to the year of the voyage, and it belonged to the first batch of gods to hang up.

"It's a shame." That being said, the Red Knight is not too much of a pity, most of her followers are warriors, gamblers, warrior monks, strategists, and strategists, and if you really insert an assassin, you will definitely not be able to have a happy time together.

With that, the Red Knight's will left.

Raven turned his attention back to his temporary stat amplification.

I have to say that the Shadow Festival opened by the Shadow Orb is very distinctive.

His biggest shortcoming has been strengthened in this situation. Killing five Shadow Thieves gives Raven nearly 20 Temporary Agility, and then assassinating the Dark Guard gives a miraculous compound of temporary stats of 25 Strength, 10 Constitution, and +8 Tenacity.

It's a pity that the temporary attribute of the improvement caused Raven's body to have an extremely strange deformation.

Originally, Raven was a delicate half-elf.

Right now?

Strong biceps, bulging pecs, eight-pack abs, and inverted triangle body shape make Raven a Mr. Bodybuilder, and his balance completely changes.

This is very similar to the premise in the previous game, where the body is a muscle that cannot be compressed and expanded when the agility attribute cannot be dominant, and only when the agility exceeds at least a quarter of the strength and constitution will the body become the relatively slender and athletic body that is suitable for stealth action.

"Hahaha! Idiot! Let you assassinate a Dark Guardian at will, as a half-elf assassin, can you still adapt to the current warrior body? As the old thief's voice sounded, Rope launched the first attack.

Up to twelve ropes formed a net of heaven and earth, heading straight for the old god thief.

It didn't work, the two shiny scimitars formed an even more gorgeous knife net, and with an aura that seemed to be able to slice the entire space into pieces, it broke Rope One's attack.

Raven noticed that the tops of many of the ropes had been severed.

What caught Raven's attention even more was the cutlass on the old thief's hands, which, if he remembered correctly, were the treasure of Ellison's right-hand man Cattrick.

The knife is in the people, and the knife is gone.

With the verdict of the Red Knight just now, then the victim should be Cattrick.

Raven sighed, "I understand your fear of me constantly adding temporary stats, but you shouldn't have killed Cattrick first." ”

"Oh? Why don't you mind if I find you, but who I kill first? ”

Raven looked at the old thief with idiotic eyes: "Superficial guy, what's so strange about me being discovered by a thief who is good at reconnaissance and tracking, and my ability to hide has been greatly reduced." It's you who ...... If you only think about the semi-finals, you don't think about the finals, and you are doomed to not be the ultimate winner! ”
