Chapter 119: Ethereal Spirit
Windthor fell to the ground, and the cavalry and infantry who had just gotten up hurriedly formed a human wall to catch him, the generalissimo coughed violently, and his mouth kept spitting blood, and at the place of his heart, a sword with no metal body, but just a white light and a sword with a hilt pierced deep into his body.
"Wendsol!" Ethan grabbed the generalissimo's head. "Hold on, Wendthor, the Great Sage will heal you!"
Wendsol was unable to speak, so he could only nod slightly, his eyes widening and widening.
Adeline had already reached the crowd, and all the soldiers had consciously stepped aside. "Please, Great Sage, save Wendthall!" Two lines of tears slipped from the corners of Ethan's eyes.
"Please, Great Sage, save the Generalissimo!" the cavalry beside him kept begging. "Even if it's in exchange for our lives. ”
The Great Sage leaned down and swiped his right hand lightly across Wendthor's chest, until he was still a few inches away from the sword that shone with white light, and Adeline hissed and quickly retracted her hand. "This is the Soul Eater Sword, and those killed by it will become ...... after death Demons. ”
"What!?" Ethan stretched out his hand, desperate to pull out the sword that had pierced Wendthor's heart.
Elonhan grabbed the prince's hand. "Don't touch it, whoever is hurt by it will slowly turn into a demon or ghoul!"
Ethan stared anxiously at the Great Sage. "How can we save him? We can't watch him die!"
Adeline sighed deeply and stood up. "The only thing we can do is cut off his head and stop him from turning into a dark tide after death. ”
Hearing the words of the great sage, all the people around stood dumbfounded, the soldiers hung their heads, and Ethan clenched his fists, looking sadly at the generalissimo who was breathing more and more rapidly.
The soldiers in front were still on the alert for the movement of the dark tide and the two black dragons, and they could be pressed again at any time. Wendthor stretched out his trembling left hand, and Ethan quickly clenched it. "Your Royal Highness, I beg ...... You cut off my head with your sword, so that I don't want to ...... Exploited by the Dark Tide......"
Ethan couldn't stop crying, and Windsor was his own sword instructor and a kind elder to him. Wendthor coughed violently again, and the generalissimo urged the prince with the last of his strength. "Quick! Ethan...... Don't hesitate, Ogden will be handed over to you later, you have to be strong......" After speaking, the generalissimo no longer had the strength to say even a word, and the corners of his mouth kept oozing blood.
Elonhan held the Generalissimo's head on the other side, and Ethan slowly stood up and raised his sword. The prince raised his head, closed his eyes and looked at the sky, silently saying something in his mouth, and then Ethan opened his eyes, Wendthor trembled slightly, but his eyes were unusually determined when he looked at Ethan. A sword light slashed, blood splattered out, Ethan could no longer support his body, fell to his knees, tears kept pouring out of the corners of his eyes, and the prince's shoulders shook violently.
"Damn, we must avenge Windsor!" Stan clenched his fists, his heart filled with rage. Not only him, but all the soldiers looked at the gloomy tide ahead with grief and indignation, ready for the final battle.
Elonhan gently placed Wendsol's body flat on the ground, then stood up. "No, you're no match for them, and rushing over will not only cost you your life, but also add to the forces of the Dark Tide. ”
"So what are we going to do? are we going to die here?" Stan angrily rushed to the guard, staring him in the eye.
The guard avoids Stan's gaze and walks over to Adeline. "Next, it's Adeline's turn and me, we've been watching you fight to the death and haven't made a move, just to preserve your strength for this moment. ”
"What the hell are they, Great Sage, if you can tell us how to fight them, we will defeat them. Botarus looked at Adeline, the old king was covered in bruises, but he still held on and did not fall.
Adeline's gaze responded to Bothalus, then swept over everyone in front of her. "They are the Ethereal Spirits, the legendary Darktide Generals who ride on the back of a black dragon, and they are more powerful than demons, and it is impossible for ordinary humans to defeat them. ”
"No way, there's always a way to defeat them!" Stan raised his fist.
"Believe it or not, I'm not sure I'll be able to defeat an ethereal spirit, let alone ...... What appeared in front of us were two ethereal spirits. Adeline sighed heavily. "If I'm dead with Elonhan...... If you're still willing to listen to my advice, you'd better retreat now, and we'll try to hold them back. After Adeline finished speaking, she ignored Botarus and Stan, who were about to speak, and walked forward slowly, her earth-reaching mage robes swaying gently with the steps of the Great Sage. The guard nodded to the crowd and followed the Great Sage. The crowd made way for the two of them in front, and looking at the guard's thin but resolute back, Stan suddenly realized that his nod seemed to be saying goodbye to everyone.
The Great Sage puffed up his chest and walked lightly, the guards behind her slightly bowed their heads and stared at the two black dragons in the distance, their emaciated bodies and limbs like dry roots. The two of them walked fifty yards in front of the group before stopping, and the cavalry's previous charge created an open space of more than a hundred yards between the Dark Tide and the human army.
The two black dragons slowly waved their wings so that they could float in the air, and suddenly, the body of the black dragon on the left trembled, accelerated the frequency of the wings, and began to fly towards the Great Sage. The strong wind from the huge wings did not affect the Great Sage and the Guardian in any way, and Adeline's long hair and mage robes were blown up by the strong wind, but the serious face still looked at the dragon that was getting closer and closer. Elonhan's eyes narrowed slightly, and the hand holding the scabbard was bruised again.
The black dragon landed smoothly in front of the two of them, and the ethereal spirit jumped off the dragon's back, and Stan and the others in the rear saw his appearance clearly. The ethereal spirit wears a helmet on its head that covers its entire face, and on the top of the helmet are several metal spikes, and the helmet has two holes in the eyes, but when you look into the holes, you can't see the eyes at all, all you can see is a void of darkness. Starting from the lower part of the head, including the neck, the ethereal's entire body was wrapped in a torn black tunic that, where the outer garment was damaged, revealed the black armor within. The Ethereal Spirit was very tall, a head taller than the guards, and it was evident from the bulging appearance of his coat that he was very strong.
"That...... Is it the Ethereal, why can't you see his eyes clearly?" Stan felt his mouth dry as the fear he had previously dispelled by Ness's and Nerfi's magic crept back into his mind.
Lucius slapped Stan on the back and slapped him back to his senses. "The ethereal spirit has no physical body at all, and underneath that armor is the power of nothingness. ”
Everyone around him looked at Lucius in shock. "The power of nothingness...... What's that?" Stan continued.
"It was a conscious spirit body, he would not get tired or hurt, and he would not be killed unless he was stabbed directly into his helmet with a sword, or devoured whole with high-level magic. Lucius' eyes were filled with worry. "And their weapons have the power of Soul Eater, and they can turn those they kill into demons or ghouls, depending on their strength while alive. ”
"But Adeline is a great sage, and she will definitely have a way to deal with the ethereals. "The soldiers around him are convinced of the strength of the Great Sage.
Lucius sighed, his eyes softened. "We had an Ethereal encounter more than twenty years ago, when Adeline was no match for him, and we came together to defeat him, but at a terrible cost. The King of Dayton raised his blood-stained and dusty hand and rubbed his forehead. "But Adeline has also grown greatly over the years, and may really be able to defeat the Ethereal, but ...... In front of us this time are two ethereal spirits, and I'm afraid we'll have to do something on our own besides relying on Adeline. ”
"Whatever it is, we're going to beat him!" Stan clenched his fists, almost rushing forward.
Holding a sword that glowed white in his hand completely wrapped in armor, the ethereal spirit slowly walked towards Adeline, and from his faceless helmet came a hoarse voice, slow and oppressive. "Great Sage, do you think you can stop me?"
Elonhan stepped forward, sword in one hand, and stood in front of Adeline. "Don't forget, there's me. ”
"You?" the ethereal helmet turned to the guard, and a mocking laugh erupted from the helmet. "It's up to you? You don't even have the possibility of hurting me. With that, the Void Spirit swung his sword violently in his right hand, and a white arc slid towards the guard ten yards away. The white light suddenly seemed to hit an invisible wall in front of Elonhan, and the light scattered and splattered, disappearing into the air. Adeline looked at the Ethereal with a blank expression, the wand in her right hand glowing red.
The Ethereal Spirit chuckled dryly twice, his shoulders in his shoulder armor shaking. "It's a worthwhile trip to fight against the most powerful great sage in the human race. The ethereal laughter stopped, and his right hand slowly raised his sword, aiming it at Adeline. "Today, you will die here, and all mankind will know that even the Great Sage is so vulnerable before us, and then all of Wallis will tremble under our feet. ”
