Chapter 69: Immortality
() Fuck off or wait to die?
There is only one warning, and this is also the mercy of the vampire prince Dekra, but it is always not understood. When he saw that the teachers and students of those seminaries were indifferent, he knew the other party's decision. With a wave of his hand, more than 300 vampires behind him swarmed up and launched a fierce attack on the barrier of light. The vampire prince is not a person who loves each other, and since the other party has chosen to perish, there is no need to give any more chances.
However, the results of the attack were unexpected. The attack of the subordinates did not cause any damage to the barrier of light, but the barrier reflected the magical energy of the light attribute due to the impact. More than a dozen vampires who were rebounded were either dead or maimed, six of them were wiped out in the Holy Light on the spot, and the other companions were also missing arms and legs, this kind of serious injury caused by the Holy Light could not heal itself with the physique of the Blood Clan itself.
Having been frustrated, the prince ordered the attack to be stopped. A confident sneer crossed his lips as he walked alone towards the barrier of light. The Vampire Prince was not unaware that the Light Barrier could reflect light while being attacked, but he still gave the order to attack, as he wanted to test the strength of the Light Barrier before drawing his sword. The necessary sacrifices of his subordinates gave him a deep understanding of the depth of the enemy's strength.
The sound of more than 200 girls reciting hymns in unison sounded very pleasant, but now they were in the bloody battlefield, facing the vicious vampire king, and they knew very well that perhaps today's prayer would be the last swan song of their lives, but none of them were afraid, and no one ran away. It is impossible to say that they are not afraid, as the heavy footsteps of the vampire prince approached, each stroke seemed to hit their hearts, and several female students could no longer suppress the fear in their hearts, their bodies trembled, and their foreheads were drenched in cold sweat, but they still stuck to their posts. Because they knew that this formation was more than 200 people with one heart, and any one of them slipped halfway through, which would kill the abbot, Sister Oldai and other classmates.
The Prince came to the Barrier of Light and unhurriedly summoned his comrade-in-arms, the blue-black two-handed heavy sword that was more than a thousand years old. The strength of the prince has long surpassed that of ordinary eighth-level powerhouses, coupled with the "endless sigh" that can cut off magic, he doesn't care about the eighth-level powerhouses of the magic department at all.
At the same time, the Great Church of St. Matthia collapsed with a series of loud noises. The scarred Hydra eventually destroyed the Great Sanctuary with five heads blown off, but Hydra was too badly injured to continue the fight and escaped underground.
The seven churches of the city of myths were built to commemorate the seven saints who guarded the tomb of the original pope, and one of them was destroyed, which was a great blow to the morale of the holy army defending the city.
The familiar sound of birds of prey flapping their wings was heard in the sky, and seven griffons flew across the sky - the few air units left behind in the defenses, from the small but formidable Papal Guard. It seems that the Pope's Palace finally can't stand it anymore and can't hold back to make a move.
The Sky Knights fought alongside their mounts, armed with javelins soaked in holy water or garlic juice, searching the skies for lone vampires and calmly locking onto their targets. They are all seasoned veterans with excellent skills and are not in a hurry to shoot, but with every javelin thrown, a vampire will be wiped out.
In the face of provocations from the air, the Blood Clan put up a stubborn resistance. Although vampires themselves do not have the ability to fly, they have the ability to transform into bats. With the destruction of the magical energy beneath the Great Sanctuary of St. Mattia, the magical barrier that protects the Holy City has been further weakened, and restrictions on the vampire's ability to transform have been lifted. A dozen vampires abandoned their fighting foes and transformed into bats, flying next to the griffons who were sniping at their companions, and then reverted to attack the griffons.
The humanoid vampires had no foothold in the air, their attack accuracy was not high, and coupled with the griffon's flying skills, none of the airriders and griffons were shot down, but the vampires who besieged them managed to disrupt their attacks and buy valuable time for their partners fighting on the ground.
The Papal Guard was not the only one who came to the rescue. At the beginning of the invasion, the Holy City had already lit up wolf smoke, signaling danger to the surrounding towns. Garrisons from other towns were pouring into the city from both the north and south, but the Bloods who had already invaded the city were not at all shy about these motley reinforcements, and the only one of the four Knights Templar's legions left behind in the Pope's Island was the Bright Dignity Legion.
On the western outskirts of the Holy City, on the west side of the hill where the giant portal is located, in front of the blockade of the Blood Clan, corpses are strewn all over the field and rivers of blood. The 2,000-strong interception force led by the Eight Sages, the "Immortal" You Shi, has collided fiercely with the main force of "Bright Dignity". The battlefield was littered with the corpses of Knights Templar and horses who had been killed in battle, but that didn't mean there were no casualties on the Bloodline's side. Because once a vampire is killed, it will turn into ashes and completely dissipate, and there will be no corpse left.
Although You Shi's troops were strong on a single basis, they were helpless and were under great pressure. Intercepting the Templars, never allowing them to reinforce the "City of Myths" - this was the only order her master had left her before leaving, and leaving her two-thirds of her forces, so Yushi knew the importance of the burden on her shoulders, and in any case could not let the enemy rush behind her back.
The soldiers of the Knights Templar, who were the most fanatical of religious believers, were furious at the time when the holy city was at stake, and they seemed to have no idea what death and fear were, and they launched a series of assaults on the blockade regardless of casualties, even if they bite it with their teeth, to break it through a gap.
Both sides were supported by their own beliefs, and the tragedy of the battle was far greater than the street fighting in the Holy City.
The vampires with few people, in the face of a ** attack of holy light and group array charge, although they are still standing, they are gradually a little unbearable. Yu Shi handed over command to her lieutenant and left the command position in the rear to personally participate in the battle. She didn't have any reservations, and as soon as she rushed to the front line, she entered the vampire transformation, her orange hair turned as pale as the skin of a dead man, the three balance scratches on the right side of her face faintly glowed with a cyan glow, and the strong wind generated by the magic released blew her black dress "crackling".
Facing the Templar infantry rushing over without knowing whether to live or die, a cold smile appeared on Yu Shi's face, and she waved her hands to make movements like waves, and the rich magic power also changed, compressed, condensed, and materialized into magical leeches, crawling all over the ground around Yu Shi.
Not only can her magical leeches suck blood from enemies or heal the wounds of their fellow soldiers, they are also the most terrifying weapons after freeing their vampire powers, as they will rob their enemies of their lives in the most unexpected and brutal ways!
Magical leeches crawling around on the ground, sticking to the feet of the soldiers who ran by, moved up their boots, squeezed through the gaps in their armor, biting through the fragile cloth and burrowing through their skin.
One by one, the soldiers who were invaded by the leeches fell to the ground, rolled several times, and then heard the sound of "snapping" fractures. The calves invaded by the magic leeches quickly age, the muscles lose their elasticity, become dry and atrophied, the calcium in the bones is lost, and the bones begin to become loose. The old legs could not support the strenuous movement, which was the reason why those soldiers fell. However, calf aging is just the beginning. The curse of aging spread like a virus throughout his body, and under the stunned gaze of his comrades behind him, the young soldier entangled in the leech turned into a middle-aged man at a rapid speed, and then into a gray-haired old man.
Aging - this is the essence of Yus's magic leech. They take not only life, but also youth.
The priest in the back row immediately cast a purification spell to ward off the aging of the recruited soldiers, but the aging speed was so fast that the priests had not yet recited half of their incantations, and the lives of those soldiers had reached the end of their lives, and their bodies were rotting into dry bones. Even the armor and cloth on their bodies, the weapons and shields in their hands, were affected by the power of decay, rusted and weathered, and became a pile of rotten fragments and rotten iron.
The big living people, who were alive and kicking up a dozen seconds ago, are now like ancient corpses that have been excavated from a thousand miles of tombs, and they are displayed in front of the soldiers of the Knights Templar, warning them that this is the fate of being the enemy of Yu Shi.
Religious fanaticism does not mean that there are no brains, everyone knows the consequences of this kind of leech crawling all over the ground once it touches the body, and no matter how powerful the soldier is, he has to be afraid. The dense leeches kept crawling forward, forcing the Knights Templar, who were attacking like a rainbow, to retreat step by step!
After pushing the enemy back for about 500 meters, the magic leech ceased its activity, the farthest distance that Yus's magic could reach. Summoning such a huge number of aging cursed leeches, the mana consumed was very huge, which made You Shi reveal her true colors in a short period of time:
Gone, the sleeveless, knee-length black dress worn on the body was replaced by an old, tattered, yellowed white wedding sha, with pale sideburns and a faded bridal headdress, and a ball of flowers long withered in dry, yellowish, shaky hands. An old woman dressed as a bride stood where You Shi was. If it weren't for the three balanced beast scratches on her wrinkled face, no one would have believed that the young and beautiful woman from before was the same person as this old ninety mother-in-law!
Sisselon is a densely populated naval port city in the northwest of Lutland Island in the Kingdom of Zealand, and in the fifth and sixth Poseidon Wars, several glorious battles have engraved the name of "Sisselon" forever in the annals of history.
However, more than 900 years ago, before the city of Sisselon was founded, it was called "Donsivo" and was a small fishing village with no known name. The city of Sisselon has given birth to many heroic legends, but only the story of the "Bride of the Sea by Doncivo" has been passed down from generation to generation among the local population.
A couple living in the interior of the country, after the end of the long-distance love run, they decided to invite relatives and friends to the church on a sunny day to hold the wedding, under the witness of God, holding the hand of the son, and growing old with the son.
However, fate always likes to play deadly jokes. Halfway through the wedding, the lord sent an urgent call-up order to the church: all men over the age of 16 and under the age of 55 must be called up to the army.
The bride, who had already dressed in a wedding dress, watched her husband, dressed in a new dress, being escorted away by the conscription troops, and marched in a long line towards the coast along with all the men in the city who had been forcibly drafted. The girl carried the hem of the wedding sand chased all the way inland to the seaside in the village of Donsivo, and then watched her husband get on the lord's troop transport, and finally disappear below the vast sea horizon, and looked at her husband until the last second. "When I come back, I'll marry you. This is the only solace and hope he left for his beloved wife.
For this promise the girl took up residence in the village of Donsiwo, and every day she wore a wedding dress to the seashore to wait, expecting her husband to return by boat and continue the unfinished wedding, year after year, day after day, rain or shine. However, the ship carrying her husband never appeared on the horizon.
There are many people who advise her, your husband may have died on the battlefield, or he may have married another girl in a foreign country and never come back, girl, don't delay any longer, seize the time to pursue your own happiness. But the girl shook her head, convinced that when she closed her eyes, she would open them the next second to see the boat carrying her husband.
There are also many men who take a fancy to her beauty, or come to the door in person or hire a matchmaker to propose marriage. But the girl, without exception, resolutely refused, and the happiness of her life belonged to her husband alone.
A local nobleman coveted her beauty and vowed to take her for himself. But the girl fought for her life and resisted desperately, and was finally left with a few bloody claw marks on the right side of her face by the vicious dog raised by the nobleman's family.
However, the scars on her face did not dampen her determination, and rumors of the girl's chastity and strength gradually spread to other places. The beautiful silhouette of the wedding lady looking at the sea has become a landscape in the village of Donsiwo. Although her face is easy to age, her hair is gray, and the fallen flowers no longer return to the branches, her determination has never changed, still waiting for the ship to appear on the horizon, still waiting for the unfinished wedding.
More than 70 years have passed, and suddenly one day, the old bride disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, never to be seen again, and the cottage where she lived was empty. There are many opinions about her departure. Some say that she came to the end of her life and died alone in a place where no one found her, some say that she finally figured it out and no longer keep that ethereal promise, some say that she confirmed her husband's death and committed suicide by throwing herself into the sea, some say that her husband finally came back and both went into seclusion after their marriage, and some say that she was inspired by the God of Light to grow up an angel by the gods......
This is the legend of the "Bride by the Sea in Doncivo".
Stories will one day be forgotten, youth will fade, flowers will wither, and the human body will eventually decay and return to the earth. Everything in the world will eventually perish, and the stars in the sky will fall, but only love will truly live forever.
