Chapter 122: Angels and Monsters
It was still too rough by the standards of a beast.
The petite and delicate girl waved her huge black claws that were completely disproportionate to herself, and her whole body turned into a red lightning bolt and sped towards the Tree of Suffering, cracks like cobwebs under her feet.
A scarlet wave of qi surged around her, obscuring half of her face, revealing a strange madness.
As she charged, a scarlet comet with a long flame tail could seem to be seen rushing towards the shattered ground. It had already been bombed once, and the ground that was left with only black dirt had been plowed out of a deep ravine by tremendous pressure.
It was a gesture of arrogance as if it were about to split the heavens and tear the earth apart. Just looking at it seems to smell a strong fishy smell.
That is a terrible calamity that human beings cannot match, that they cannot deal with.
- Disasters come down from heaven, and how can all flesh and blood resist them?
For the first time, the Tree of Suffering reacted violently and exaggeratedly - it pulled itself out of its roots.
It was a reddish rhizome, and at the end of each one was strung with one or two shriveled people. They were covered in armor that had been more than half corroded, and the thick rhizomes pierced through their chests, and countless thin hairy bright red roots spread out from the rhizomes, nailing them all over their bodies.
This is the missing Templars. Instead of being burned to death by immersion in the light of flowing fire, they were skewered and nailed to the ground.
Their eye sockets were sunken, their teeth were all gone, and their legs were brutally removed, leaving only their torsos and arms. The blood vessels on their faces are purple, their eyeballs bulge, and their skin is too pale. But there is no doubt that none of them are dead.
Their eyes were glazed, but there was a strange look of ease on their faces. Under the wave of the rhizome. The withered corpses twitched as if they were electrocuted, like shadow puppetry.
The Knights of a Thousand Men flew through the air with comical and stiff movements. The momentum of the silver rank poured out from them, and they raised the long sword in their hands in unison.
- Pointing directly at Elukado.
"How could it be ......?!"
Lilia couldn't help but cover her mouth, tears in her eyes. Gahalad also sighed deeply and closed his eyes.
The Tree of Affliction injects them with sugar and water to extract life force and divine grace from them.
It's like humans planting fruit trees. The Tree of Crucifixion also raised a group of "livestock" in captivity, following the example of humans, so that it could grow.
"Unforgivable...... Unforgivable! ”
Gahalad's eyes were tightly closed, but his anger could be known from his trembling body alone.
The young knight's right hand was pressed against the hilt of his sword, and his grip was already white, but his feet did not move as if they were rooted.
Because Roland didn't let him act. He had no right to crusade against the enemies of the monarch.
From a knight's point of view, it is very rude to interfere in other people's duels or in other people's crusades against monsters. This is tantamount to belittling the glory of the other party and despising the honor of the other party.
No matter how worried and angry he was, Gahalad would never intervene in this battle that belonged to him before Roland opened his mouth.
And Roland on the other side. and did not live up to Gahalad's expectations.
"The defeated and the old are called to me. Commit yourself to me, learn from me, and serve me. ”
At the chant of the Angel of Death, the pure white light split into dozens, tens into hundreds, and countless fine light prisons tightly locked the newly stretched rhizome of the Tree of Suffering, along with the pure white vines that were still a little charred. It was as if the sound of prayer from heaven was faintly sounding, and the song of holiness echoed in the air.
Towering oak trees hundreds of meters high, angels chanting prayers, legions leading in black flames - in that moment, it was as if the epic era of thousands of years ago had reappeared in the world.
The light prison lasted only a moment. It was shattered by the great power of the Tree of Suffering. But by this time, Elukado had already rushed over!
Huge black claws open and clench. The large rhizomes and vines that tangle around the Tree of Affliction were clung to by Elukado, and then taut.
As she tugged hard, a creaking sound was heard. The Tree of Suffering, which had uprooted all its roots, was powerless to resist the tremendous force of Elukado, and the giant tree, which was hundreds of meters high, was pulled by her and was about to fall down.
Along the countless vines and rhizomes, thousands of rabid dogs, black crows jumped up behind Elukado. Barking and screaming and rolling up. The sky was instantly obscured by pitch black and scarlet, and a strong fishy aura descended here with the unique aura of destruction. The ant-colony black beast covered the skin of the Tree of Affliction in an instant.
The Tree of Affliction was instantly enraged. A layer of hot ash emerged from the surface, and at the same time, its momentum rose suddenly, and a manic bloodthirsty aura surged.
The blades stabbed from its vines became more prominent and sharp. It has completely lost its appearance as a vine and has become a whip sword made of a complete blade. The ashes of the scorching heat, faintly glittering black flame, emerged on the blades, killing the vast black beasts like grass.
By this time, however, Roland's prayer was nearing its end: "...... Don't forget to sing, don't forget to pray, don't forget to sleep. Rest in my hand. Your sins will be anointed and sealed—"
At the landing point of the slender pillar of light just now, a silver-white illusory cross appeared there at some point.
Most of the crosses were knee-high, and occasionally a man-high cross could be seen - and the most conspicuous of them was at the very bottom of the pit, where Joseph had disappeared, and a huge cross ten meters high was covered with prayers.
Crosses of different heights shimmered with a gentle pure white light. It looks like a mass grave, but it has the same sense of sacredness.
As Roland chanted, pure white butterflies flapped their wings and flew up from the top of the cross, driving the pure white breeze.
The ashes on the Tree of Affliction were completely dispelled by Roland in an instant. Its newly blessed power disintegrated into a hot breath that spread to its surroundings.
In that instant, the power of the Tree of Affliction was already out of balance. In the wrestling with Elukado, the Tree of Affliction inevitably suffers terrible damage.
"Forgiveness here, I who receive the flesh swear here, chant here, sing here—"
At Roland's prayer, countless butterflies surrounded it, and the pure white breeze gradually turned into a dazzling storm.
In the midst of the endless storm, a blurry white figure about a hundred meters tall emerged, unable to see its face.
It nodded slightly at Roland, then walked over to the Tree of Suffering, raised its hand, and slapped it hard!
The dense ash of the Tree of Affliction had no effect, and a tooth-aching creak rang out.
In the holy light unique to the Purification Realm, the buffs that the Tree of Crucifixion constantly exerted on itself were dispelled one by one, the rabid dogs kept tearing at the skin of the Crucifixion, biting off the rhizomes and vines, and countless crows gnawed and devoured the internal organs and brains of those knights, and crushed the bark near the male skull embedded in the Crucifixion Tree, gouging out the people inside.
Under the slow and powerful slap of the huge figure, under the bite of countless black beasts, the breath of the Tree of Suffering weakened again and again.
Finally, at the roar of Elukado, she uprooted the Tree of Affliction completely! (To be continued.) )
