Chapter 62: Demon Slayer
I was a believer in the Light.
Yes, just believing in the Holy Light itself, as for the God of Light and its teachings, I haven't even turned it over except on the day I was inaugurated as a paladin.
The god of light? Except for those fanatical believers whose heads are in water, who would worship a server of divine power that does not even have self.
But I can proudly say that I am the closest to the Source of Light. Worship is the furthest distance from the truth, and I, who have seen it as a tool from the beginning, have the most real and profound analysis of it, and this is the basis for my ability to create the power of the law that is the same as it but very different from it.
Leaving aside the lofty teachings, the essence of the Light is two words—purification.
He is actually a kind of repairing power in the world, which can erase what does not belong to this world, and restore the rules that have been distorted, which is the source of order's expectation that this world will return to order.
His healing power, in fact, repairs life, and the most obvious proof is that he has no effect on people who have reached the end of their lifespan, because birth, old age, sickness and death are natural laws, and how to repair and purify.
And for the demons whose existence itself can distort the rules, and the undead who rely on the distorted rules of life and death to exist in the world, correcting the distortion that maintains their existence is not equivalent to directly destroying their existence.
Therefore, the users of the Holy Light are simply the most terrifying natural enemies of demons and the undead.
And it is for this reason that, no matter how nice it sounds, the Light can never really eliminate disputes and wars, the referee must be neutral, completely biased towards how one side can resolve disputes, and it is simply funny to use the elimination of the other side to settle disputes (the River Styx does not die, the chaos does not stop), which is why I finally decided to abandon the Light and create the power of the Law.
And I, Roland, the honorary title of Son of Glory, started as a paladin three times in my life, and I have absolute confidence in the mastery of the Holy Light.
And at this moment, facing the demon army is exactly what the paladins are good at.
"Holy light, send me the sword."
I raised the long sword with both hands, and the golden light on the Roland Holy Sword was surrounded, and the holy light that was so thick that it was so thick that it directly evaporated the low-level demons that were approaching, even if it was a mid-level demon such as a berserk battle demon, he still covered his eyes and retreated.
With the support of the Son of Glory of the Soul Emblem, if compared to the number and purity of the Holy Light summoned, even the Cardinal will have to kneel before me.
And the Demon Count is not a fool who is obediently beaten, his subordinates can't stop my charge, it just makes a move in the void, an old bronze lamp appears out of thin air, and a strange cyan ghost fire surrounds it, it is his sub-artifact soul lamp.
And with the call of the master, countless ghosts turned into cyan ghost fire, cutting a strange arc in the air, asking for my soul.
But even though the ghost fire was already in front of me, I still didn't look up, I lowered my head to control the horse, and accelerated the charge, I knew that someone would stop it for me.
"Zz!"
Sure enough, the cyan ghost torch turned into a humanoid pillar of fire, but I also took the opportunity to reach the side of Kakajili's huge body.
"Broken shoes are not right. Destroy the evil slash! ”
Breaking the Evil Slash is the Paladin's lowest attack skill, but in the face of "evil" creatures such as demons and undead, this pure Holy Light Slash is always the most lethal.
With the momentum of the eternal night, the holy sword that had been dyed golden slammed into the wall-like body, swinging the sword with both hands, the eternal night was still charging, and the sword marks slashed through a golden lightning bolt.
The huge demon lord landed on all fours, and its upper limbs ate the demon halberd, its upper body was a bit like a sheep, and the lower body itself looked like an incomparably huge lizard, and my impact was aimed at the lizard's most vulnerable lower abdomen.
The sword was full of the power of the demonic nemesis's holy light, and the wound where the blade reached it quickly expanded, and the wound around it directly purulated and blistered and then burst open, gushing out with corrosive demonic blood, and the ground that was stained burned and cracked directly.
Perhaps, it won't hurt the huge Demon Count, but it definitely hurts.
"Ahhh Damn little bugs!! ”
Whether it is a war angel or a devil lord, they are all giant creatures, and the opponents that demon nobles often encounter are not too small, and in the face of small targets like us, the huge body has become Kakajili's biggest trouble, and the four huge hooves like towers are suitable for a large battlefield charge, which restricts its movement in the limited space of the underground world.
"Come again!"
Whipping up the horse, the black head horse raised his head and roared at night, and then began to charge again, as the battle progressed, his four hooves carried sparks, and the speed became faster and faster, it seemed, it was also held back long enough.
"Damn little bugs, give me death!"
His subordinates were unreliable, and the enemies below were too fast, and the annoyed Kakajili directly summoned a meteor fire shower, and the semi-forbidden spell-level range magic fell out of thin air, and the huge meteorite turned into a meteor and smashed into the ground, but the range enveloped him in it.
Each meteorite smashed a deep pit directly into the ground.
He can rely on his strong body and high fire kang to resist, if I take a hit now, I guarantee to finish the game directly.
However, I have a secret method that I can't get tired of!
"Adam!"
The next moment, a red rainbow bridge pierced the sky, a fiery phoenix flew above my head, and all the meteorites that could hit me were blocked by him.
The fire rain was directly immune to the higher-quality Phoenix Flame, but the physical impact of the meteor Adam could only hold on.
"Ahh It hurts! At this time, you know that the Tao called me? ”
"Didn't you specialize in this? Beaten up with specialized professional meat shields. ”
Looking at Adam, who did not have the slightest scar on the top of his head, I was also secretly surprised, even if this range of magic is counted, the attack launched by the demon count with a sub-artifact just now can be ignored, and the phoenix that has begun to burn life at the end of the day is really unbelievably strong.
"Has it come to this point? The peak of demigods, with the qualifications of human beings, if you don't ascend to the god position, there is no possibility of progress. ”
But at the same time, the sheer size of his body became the best target, and the enraged Demon Count was so encouraged by his magic that he unleashed his natural abilities that he could only use once a day.
"Curse of Soul Draining!"
It was a powerful curse produced by the combination of the Demon Lord and the sub-artifact [Kakajili's Soul Burning Lamp], and the target attacked by this curse would be forcibly pulled out of the spirit body, and how could the spirit body that was protected by the body resist the attraction of the Soul Burning Lamp.
Unfortunately, it chose the wrong target.
The huge finger pointed at me, and the dark curse lines quickly spread all over my body like a spider's web, and the next second, it was calm.
Indeed, the energy reaction in my body is far inferior to Adam's, and I am a paladin of the nemesis of the undead, in order to avoid the curse being resisted by Adam, it is indeed the right choice in strategy to use the strongest talent curse to kill me.
But although I look like a living person now, I am actually a dead person, and I don't care how to extract the soul from a dead person for the time being, even the Styx, which has the strongest ability to absorb and devour souls, can't take my soul, and this sub-artifact is nothing.
And when it stared blankly at the scene in front of me, I was not idle.
"Adam, remember that hapless green dragon?"
"Oooh, you mean the one who was blown up. I see."
That's when the old man was so powerful, and with a relative smile, in front of Kakajili, we began to go our separate ways, with Adam spreading his wings to the left, and I riding to the right.
For a while, Kakajili didn't know how to deal with it, the speed of the two enemies was very fast, the energy intensity of the insect on the left was terrifying, and the right was a nasty high-level paladin, such a pure holy light had never been seen before, it simply made the demon disgusted when he saw it, and it hurt to death when he stuck to it, and he couldn't underestimate it.
"Come and help me!!"
Finally, even though he didn't know what the two of them planned to do in front of him, Kakajiri, who felt threatened, did not hesitate to throw away the face of the demon count and ask his subordinates for help.
"Earl, I'm here!"
The most loyal rescuer was a crimson Purgatory Demon Dragon, its huge body was full of poisonous stingers, and its heavy scale armor made it look indestructible.
"Moriel, you're a shame to be thrown home!"
And before her dive rescue reached the battlefield, Ain Medsius, who suddenly descended, pounced on her body, knocking her into the air and rolling.
Yes, this Purgatory Demon Dragon is the dragon queen of the past, Moriel, who survived as a sacrifice due to that unexpected war.
But in the face of the Demon Earl, the undisciplined Moriel immediately re-chose the camp, and Kakajili, who knew that his words were unfounded, took advantage of the convenience of the open door of the plane to directly guide the abyss breath, and held a transformation ceremony of the Purgatory Demon Dragon for Moriel, at this time, Moriel has become a pure Demon Dragon,
The two ancient dragons bit and roared in mid-air, and it was clear that the Purgatory Demon Dragon's hand-to-hand combat ability was much stronger than that of the dragons of the main plane, but it was the smaller and much younger Ainmetheus who had the overall advantage.
"What do you keep saying about the dignity of the dragons? Have you eaten it all? I can't stand such an ugly appearance! Go to hell! ”
For the dragons who call the main plane home, transforming into a purgatory demon dragon controlled by the demon lord and becoming a resident of the lower plane is simply a worse choice than death, but obviously, compared to the so-called dragon dignity, Moriel does not want to die even more.
Enraged, Ainmetheus gave up the last bit of kindness and hope in his heart, and for the first time in history, he ruthlessly dealt a ruthless hand on Moriel.
Now, if Moriel, who is pampered and full of demeanor in the underground world, is a noble gentleman, Ain Medseus, who has traveled to the world and has countless combat experience, is a black market fighter who practices boxing every day, although Moriel may have a better physique, but it is obviously more difficult for Ain Medseus to fight.
By flapping his wings, the magic of wind and fire was formed.
While the wind was speeding up, it was interfering with Moriel's flight, and the fire was varied, sometimes turning into smoke to obscure his vision, sometimes suddenly bursting out in front of his opponent's eyes to shatter the scale armor, and each attack of Ainmetheus was bound to have elemental damage.
For the first time, Moriel found that she still underestimated her daughter, the combat method of combining magic and martial arts was unheard of, and her traditional combat method of grabbing, biting, sweeping, tail and breathing of the dragon clan was stupid and old-fashioned.
Moreover, between grabbing, biting, and sweeping, Einmetheus is quite rhythmic and disciplined, just like a warrior monk who is skilled in physical combat, and in front of her, he is sluggish like an old turtle that has come ashore.
And the most outrageous thing is that Ainmesius, who is a dragon, actually uses a weapon, and the terrible pure gold iron finger tiger that flashes cold light on the dragon's claws hurts all the organs when it hits the body, but Ainmetheus always looks for the dragon head to knock, and every time, Moriel is dizzy.
"You cheat! Actually with dirty weapons! ”
"Who stipulated that the dragon clan can't use weapons, if you weren't in a hurry, you wouldn't have had time to put on the engineering armor and dragon braces that guy prepared for me, I'll let you see what it means to cover the whole body with dragon armor and mechanical alloy war dragon today."
Moriel, who was getting more and more chilled as she fought, found that she had no chance of winning, so she attacked again, and without hesitation, she fought to take a blow, directly leaving behind the boss she had just recognized, turning around and running away.
And on the ground, Tao, who led the source of the blood-devouring orcs, also met his old opponent.
"No one is allowed to pass until they know who is winning or losing."
Still with an indifferent face under the blue broken hair, and the starlight on the ivy cane, the great sage also wants to settle old accounts with the orc emperor.
"Heaven is above, earth is below, by the book and the pact of the stars, by the order of the sage Margaret, the ancient star spirit, please respond to my call, Chimera, Leo, Unicorn, Chariote, come!"
The astral warriors descending from the sky represent Margaret's attitude, and not far away, the knights of the Crimson Hound are also slashing and driving away the demons that are close to the war zone.
"It's rare to see His Highness fighting so happily, and no one is allowed to interfere with His Highness's battle"
It was the kindness of the Crimson Hounds, but Margaret was much more direct.
"Sure enough, no matter how old a man is, he is still a child, after so many years, it's the first time to see them so happy, is the Demon Count so fun?"
Margaret looked back at the corner of her eye, the two men were shouting to avoid the Demon Count's slash and magic, the smile on their faces, where it looked like they were on the battlefield, it was obviously two bear children who were throwing mud at each other and playing.
But even then, even a child-like game
"As I said, no one is allowed to pass. Orcs, although I don't like to kill, as long as you dare to cross the line, I vow to hunt you down to the ends of the earth. Perhaps, you can try to challenge the promises of the sages. ”
The Orc Emperor, who claimed to have never repented, hesitated at that time.
In the face of the threat of the sudden appearance of the star spirit and Margaret, it is completely different from the last time, this time Tao has no reserve troops to constantly replenish, and now the orcs under him who are contaminated by demonic blood are all the future family members, and one less will die of heartache.
But he didn't have to hesitate right away
Suddenly, a claw grabbed him, and then pulled Gao Fei up without hesitation.
"Ha Luha, I said that I would see your end. Since I can't wait for the time being, then I'll just create the apocalypse. ”
It was Moriel who had gone and returned, and since she had betrayed her camp again, how could she suppress her resentment that she was almost sacrificed.
"Moriel!!"
The screaming waves crossed a parabola, and the landing point was the core of the battlefield of the Demon Earl, Adam, and Roland!
In an instant, a stone stirred up a thousand waves, and countless magic and bows were thrown at the helpless and screaming Orc Emperor in the air.
"Get out of here!!"
"Excuse me. Which green onion are you! ”
"Get out of the way, bastard!"
He happened to appear at the core of the three-way battle, Roland's holy sword slashed his left cheek, Feng Zhigu slashed his chin, and the huge demon halberd directly split his waist in half, targeting the underground co-master. Angry Tooth, so aggrieved that he died of accidental injury.
Perhaps, for their own desires. For the heroes who want to trample on the lives of others at will, the worthlessness of death is the greatest punishment from heaven.
"Ha, I said I wanted to see your end."
Moriel, who had taken revenge, was just triumphant, but found that Ain Mesius in mid-air seemed to be fanning his wings and preparing to dive to attack, and he was immediately frightened, turned around and flew away again.
While the others breathed a sigh of relief because of Moriel's departure again, the demon legion, which had been short in front of the Crimson Hounds, had fallen into a rout, and as long as they were close to Brimstone Mountain City, under the command and dispatch of Annie, the engineering artillery and defenders on the city wall would let them know that this road was absolutely impassable.
On our side, it's time to find out.
"Galloping!"
The crimson Excalibur was covered by the unquenchable flame of the super spirit beast Phoenix, and Adam, who soared in the sky, slashed over Kakajili's head again, but this time, it was a little numb.
"Stupid bugs, your tricks are pointless!"
Yes, tricks, in Kakaji's eyes, the little red bug has flown over its head four times, and still can't find a chance to raid, and the little bug on horseback can laugh through under his body five times, the weak is the weak, and the lack of absolute strength is a hard injury, except for bringing himself a little painless scar, what is it.
And this time, the knight actually planned to pass under his body again.
"Stupid bug, wise Kakajili has seen through your tricks, that flame has the power of a phoenix, even the Demon Lord should be careful, only the guy above can pose a threat to me, if I put my attention below, I will be hurt by the bugs above!"
So, the wise Kakajili still set his sights on the little bugs above.
But suddenly, he realized that something was wrong, and there seemed to be unbearable pain in his stomach, as if something was pulling at his internal organs.
Looking down, the black steed had run out, but the saddle was empty, and the knight was gone!
"I hurt so much!! Coming out of the body of the great Kakajili! ”
But at this moment, I took advantage of Adam's attention to attract attention, and used the first few times to test the weak point of the scale armor, and finally found a good opportunity to dig a hole in its belly and get in, how could I be willing to let it out.
The twisted sarcoma and blood vessels are right in front of me, and all I have to do is destroy them all the way down the blood vessels, and then destroy the four hearts of the demon lord.
So, in the eyes of everyone's incredulous eyes, the mighty Demon Count staged a ridiculous farce, it rolled on the ground in pain, and kept stabbing its own veins with the demon's halberd to commit suicide, the demon's corrosive blood continued to flow out, and under excessive corrosion, the earth began to turn into scorched earth.
Seeing that he was about to die, Kakajili finally found a way to save himself.
"Go find it, go find that bastard for me!"
The Demon Count gritted his teeth and smashed the sub-artifact Soul Burning Lamp with a fist, and countless ghosts escaped from it, and under the majesty of the original owner, those ghosts and ghosts searched for the figure of the Holy Knight in the Demon Lord's body.
This time, feeling that his life was at stake, Kakajili finally admitted that his opponent was not a bug.
And the invisible ghost, after obtaining the permission of the lord, shuttled freely in the body, and was soon blocked in front of the third heart.
And I, seeing the ghosts and ghosts in front of me, smiled.
"Oh, there's a guest, wait, let me think about what to say at this time. Well, Holy Light, redeem these lost souls! ”
As the holy sword was raised, the strong holy light leaked out everywhere, and the ghosts dissolved directly into the air, if it were other enemies, I would still be a little troublesome, but ghosts, especially those who have been tortured to the death of the soul lamp, a super undead is enough.
"Sure enough, it's still the most hated hymn to the super-undead, what kind of redemption, is it salvation to use the holy light to directly destroy the other party?"
Soon, after the heart of the last one was shattered, the demon Count Kakaji finally fell, and his huge body began to turn into ashes.
This time he came with his true body, and even if he could be resurrected, he would have to start with the lowest level of inferior demons, and with the fall of the summoner, the demons disappeared one by one, and they were expelled from their own plane.
This time, they didn't harvest much soul at all, and after the consumption of one thing at a time, the loss of every few hundred years could not be regained.
And I was covered in blood, and I had just come out of Kakajili's skin, only to see Adam's stupid face crying and mourning.
Then, I immediately understood.
"Figured it out?"
"Well, why didn't you say that you could make a hole in your stomach back then, and you wanted me to drill the green dragon's chrysanthemum! You're cheating me again. ”
"To be honest, I was just joking back then, just talk about it, who would have thought that you would really drill at the time, everyone was scared at the time."
"Yes, you haven't spoken to me for more than a month, and you cover your nose when you have to talk. Lisa looked at me like I was looking at dirty stuff. ”
Inexplicably, looking at Adam who was inexplicably depressed in a tragic memory, looking at that stupid face, I couldn't get angry, so I really fought, and I used the Roland Holy Sword.
"Bell."
The two swords intersected, and the smirking Adam was actually prepared.
"You've been trying to teach me a lesson for a long time. Actually, I'm the same. ”
Feeling the flame of the blade, I smiled too.
"Yes, since we're going to give you a ride, let's use the way we know best."
Adam and I had a tacit understanding of each other, we both smiled, and the next moment, but at the same time, the two swords fought together, perhaps, this most difficult battle, we have been looking forward to it for a long time.
"Roland, no, Brother Roro, today, I am going to prove that I am better than you, and now I have surpassed you"
"Hehe, why don't we do arithmetic. I'll let you use your toes underneath. ”
"I'm not an orangutan who can only count ten digits, I can now count three digits!!"
"Oh, it's amazing, it's really amazing, it's a big improvement compared to back then."
"Oh! Actually, it's not that good. Wrong! Who compares arithmetic with you, we want to compare swordsmanship!! ”
"I taught you swordsmanship back then, what's the matter, are you going to kill the master? Come, let your brother Luo Luo come to give you a ride, Huangquan is good! ”
"Hah, the killer? I just talked to your teacher, isn't this a tradition of your lineage? ”
We laughed wildly as we swung our swords with all our might, dodged, and tried to cut down our opponents, and the weather was good, and it was a good day to settle old scores.
-------------
PS. Since someone asked, since the plot is here, let's explain, Roland started as a paladin three times, but he practiced others later, after all, if you start from scratch, it will be very effort-saving to start from the familiar.
The first death was at the age of 14, and the second life will be mentioned later in the plot, and the adventure as Rollo is the third life.
