Chapter 44: Moonlight IV
Shadow Knight's Blessing of the Flame, although the name is not as solemn as the Knight's Blessing of the Mithril Knight's Blessing of the Flame, the magical damage stat attached to the weapon is still sacred.
The details of this skill also highlight a tenet that Shadow Knight must abide by from a side perspective.
If the plot of this life develops as originally developed, the content of that purpose will be inscribed on the stele of Vercidis in the future history, leaving a chain of tasks, and at the same time, it also admonishes future generations of new paladins who visit the tombstone in the dagger forest: "The sacred is not self-sustaining and high, nor can we ignore the darkness, but when we look directly at evil, we do not forget our hearts." β
"Poofββ!
The third sound of blood since the beginning of the battle.
The giant scythe that burned with dark flames followed the arc of Vercidis, biting the inside edge of the scythe precisely into the most vulnerable wrist of the monster's sword-holding arm, slicing the monster's arm in the direction of the black-haired man's arms.
The black scythe with a dark flame with divine magic attributes broke through the skin of the monster's wrist, like the sharp teeth of a mad shark fiercely sinking into the pus under the monster's blue-gray skin, squeezing out the filthy blood.
Vercidis attempted to cut off the monster's hand directly.
However, by holding the long handle of the giant scythe, he suddenly felt the tip of the scythe against something as hard as a rock in the pus of the monster's arm, and failed to directly split the moonlight sword and the monster's large hand with nine long fingers as he wished.
He guessed that the hard object hit by the scythe was probably the skeleton of a monster.
He still hadn't imagined that the new body that the Moon Sword Saint was occupying now came from the abyss plane, which was known as the root of all evil.
The bones of the Abyss Demon were much harder than ordinary creatures in the mortal world, and the black-haired man's ice-blue eyes flashed with surprise for a moment.
Suddenly, he realized that he had missed.
The leader of the Knights of Shadowlight raised his head with the handle of the scythe, and then saw the monster's free other giant palm rise above his head with its raised arms, about to slap down on him with terrifying power.
The black-haired middle-aged knight's brows furrowed.
A blink of an eye. He was just about to use his natural abilities to break free from this danger when he suddenly saw an iron longsword that also burned with dark flames and an arcane missile with an extremely fast rate of fire flew out of the corner of his eye, one after the other, and smashed into the two special eyeballs that bulged out of the monster's head.
The iron sword that swirled in mid-air like a boomerang was thrown at the monster by Finn.
The arcane missile was naturally a ring of sorcery cast by Lilith.
Perometheus's will on those two eyeballs immediately noticed the two "hidden weapons" approaching his head, so he immediately withdrew his other giant palm raised high to block his side face.
The spinning iron sword and the arcane missile filled with magical energy then slammed into the huge palm one after another, and the iron longsword used the dark flames on the sword body to slightly burn a small ball of blue-gray skin on the giant palm, and then broke into two with a "ding" sound.
Take advantage of this opportunity. Vercidis hurriedly pulled the scythe out of the monster's pus, and quickly retreated to the center of the basin.
"Thank you, Knight Finn." The black-haired man stepped back from the monster's side from the black scythe that held his hand, "And this beautiful little girl." β
He exhaled slowly, adjusting the rate of his heartbeat, and the corner of his eye glanced at the two people beside him along with the smile on his face.
Lilith glanced at Versidis with half of her cheek, then refocused her gaze on the monster-form Moon Swordmaster, waiting for what instructions Fein might give her next.
The old witch Barcela clenched her staff in her hand, and closed her mouth like Lilith, without opening her mouth.
After a second, Finn blinked. Pull out the silver sword that Vercidis temporarily lent him from its scabbard, use the Flame Blessing skill to light the silver sword, and then look sideways at Versidis and say, "Perometheus's weakness may be those two eyeballs. β
Vercidis glanced back at the monster's head, and though he couldn't immediately spot the two in the dense mass of eyes, he soon heard what Finn meant.
So, he looked at the monster that slowly lowered the giant palm from his face, and asked Fein while keeping his guard against the latter, "Then what are you going to do?" β
"Try to destroy those two eyeballs?" Young people propose.
"It's too hard." The black-haired, blue-eyed man replied as quickly as he could, "The weapon we have in our hands is not a javelin or a bow or arrow after all. Besides, we first have to face the resistance of the Moonlight Greatsword. β
"So don't you think we should leave the task of the main attack to the two ladies?"
"You say magic?"
Vercidis turned his head to look at Finn.
The young man looked back at Lilith and Basera, who were standing behind him and the middle-aged knight, then turned his gaze back to nod at the dark-haired man. Say yes.
ββ¦β¦ Then let's try it. The leader of the Knights of Shadowlight then smiled, his beard rising confidently from the upturned corners of his mouth.
After that, the monster body occupied by the soul of the Moon Sword Saint Perometheus had not had time to fully adjust its state, and the man in black armor holding the giant scythe twisted his neck and rushed to the old witch Tieflin who was loyal to him to confess, and then picked up the giant scythe in his hand again and took the initiative to attack the monster.
Versidis' agile figure was as swift as a full-time ranger.
Heroic Raid, the Mithril Knight and Shadow Knight class skills that can be learned by both the Mithril Knight and the Knight of Shadowlight, are put to good use. With the help of the cover of night, his figure first made a rapid advance with the skill effect of the heroic raid, and then let his body shake in the forest basin under the moonlight for a moment, and then walked alone for a short distance in still time, as if teleporting in front of the monster form of the Moon Sword Saint.
Like Priest McCass who has fought Arroyo, Raymond, and Arya. Vercidis' natural ability is also "time stop".
He had just used his innate ability to pause time within a certain range of the basin.
In the face of Nightblade's natural ability, the revenant soul of the Moon Sword Saint Perometheus once again failed to detect the attack of the Shadow Knight in time.
For a moment, the giant scythe burning with dark flames was raised again in Vercidis's hand, and this time the curved blade of the scythe was aimed at Perometheus's unsuspecting hooves.
The sharp scythe then sliced open one of the front hooves that had been tied to the territory of Perometheus's torso.
The Moon Swordmaster's monster-like body immediately leaned down a little towards the front hooves that had been cut by Versidis' giant scythe.
His whole massive, bloated body was about to fall.
But at this critical juncture, he suddenly remembered something from the body of the moonlight greatsword, and suddenly made the thick arm holding the greatsword tremble, and the tip of the greatsword that glowed with a cyan cold light was vertically upside down, and thenβ
"Poof".
Plunged into the dirt of the basin. (To be continued.) )
