Chapter 18: The Violent Vortex
Guarding the tower, there was a dead silence.
Jarvis's words were like one resounding slap after another, slapping Morton and every thunderstorm mercenary in the face. made their faces blue and white for a while, and it was difficult to see the extreme.
This is naked humiliation.
But on the contrary, these gangsters, who usually kill people whenever they see that their eyes are wrong, gritted their teeth tightly and closed their mouths at the moment.
The reason is simple. Because of the contrast of power, it was reversed at this moment.
Now they are weakling!
Yes, the weak! The weak who was bullied by the strong! Although they were very unwilling and humiliated, no matter how painful and ruthless this slap was, they could only endure it!
After the demonic attack, there are only thirty-five thunderstorm mercenaries left. Individually, they are still the strongest of all mercenary groups. Even if seven or eight mercenary squads were combined, they would not be their opponents.
Led by Morton, they could easily crush a team of sixty or seventy men with a single charge. Even against enemies five times your size, you'll be able to fight on par.
But now, the opponent is ten times as much as himself!
In the Guardian Tower, almost all the mercenaries except for them have united. Originally, they had nothing to do with this matter, but now they stood beside the black-haired young man in unison, all with cold eyes, murderous intent, and fierce eyes!
There are nearly 400 knights above the level of glory, including more than 30 knights of the Great Light and more than 30 magicians. Plus a sage of the sky like Spengler and Sandra of the Hand of the Blood Demon......
The Thunderstorm mercenaries can fully imagine what will happen to them once they do it.
Morton's eyes were a little red. He stared at Roy deadly, like an old wolf who had lost the throne of the wolf king in the struggle, his eyes were cold and fierce.
This heaven-to-hell drop. Make him unacceptable.
Facing Morton's gaze, Roy took out a bronze mask from the spatial ring, wiped it with the hem of his clothes, and put it on his face.
"Now, you know what I'm on, right?" Roy's voice became a little muffled under the mask.
This mask, which is shaped like a "vengeful demon" in Hell, was bought when he was in Medin City. It is this mask that is worn. He attacked the Holy See convoy and killed a guy named Garas who had committed a murder in the city of Medin. This led to a series of events such as joining the rabble army and reversing the Battle of Medin City.
And now, Roy is wearing a mask again.
Garras is an insignificant little man, and Morton is the number one big man in the mercenary community in the south of the entire empire. The gap between the two is worlds apart.
But for Roy, they were no different.
It's all the same damn thing!
"Pretending to be a ghost," Morton looked at Roy with a mask and sneered, "I admit it." You surprised me, but you thought you could kill me? ”
He turned his head to look in the direction of the gate of the guardian tower and said, "From here to the gate, it is only fifty meters. If I want to rush out, who can stop me? Besides, if I do, how many people are you willing to pay? Thirty, fifty?"
Everyone's faces changed.
Everybody knows. Morton's words were a threat, but they were also true.
To know. There are two reasons why everyone can join forces and prevail. The first is the advantage of quantity, which can be overwhelming. The second is that the terrain here is narrow, and three or four hundred people attack at the same time, supplemented by the combat power of the battle array, and the attack power is enough to destroy the world.
But the Sanctuary is the Sanctuary after all.
Step into the Holy Steps. The level of power is completely beyond the system of mortals. They own the realm, creating and dominating all the rules of the realm. Anyone who fights with them will be greatly weakened as if they were fighting the creator god of a world.
Especially when a Sacred Domain powerhouse is forced to a dead end, and he is desperate. will become even more crazy and scary. It is not impossible to kill thirty or fifty people before they die.
With demons in a desperate situation, is it worth it to pay such a huge and perhaps even more terrible price to kill Morton?
Seeing a trace of hesitation flash on everyone's faces, a gleam flashed in Morton's eyes.
What he said just now was just a rhetoric in the case that he had no way back, in fact, it was definitely the stupidest choice for him to fight with these people.
Homicide?
How easy it is to kill someone. It was easy to see that Morton had no pleasure in seeing life disappear from his blood-soaked hands. If you kill too many people, human life is just a number, like an ant that is trampled to death, meaningless.
It is precisely because other people's lives are so cheap in his eyes that his own lives are even more precious.
Not to mention thirty or fifty, even if you can kill a hundred, if you have to die in the end, what is the use?
As a last resort, Morton will not choose to fight hard.
It took him a long time to get to this point, and he finally stood at the top of the pyramid of human knights. Call for the wind and rain to take what you want. How could he bury himself in exchange for the lives of dozens of dirty and lowly mercenaries. Lying in this dark ghost place and never seeing the light of day?
At this moment, Morton looked around. He knew his words had worked.
The tradition of mercenaries has always been that the strong are respected.
Even if these mercenaries did not hesitate to stand by the side of Nao, they were somewhat hesitant to actually fight a paladin whom they were usually in awe.
Morton cleared his throat. He had already thought about what was going to happen. After the threat, it is natural to pull in. Especially in today's situation surrounded by demons, the role of more than thirty high-level knights and a powerhouse of the Holy Domain can be understood as long as you are not an idiot.
For this reason, he even decided to lower his posture. If these mercenaries, even if only a small number of them, are allowed to have the idea that infighting is better than unity, then conflict will not break out. The cruel words that that kid put out in order to create confrontation are just a fart!
However, just as Morton was about to speak, he heard Roy sneer.
Turning his head to look, he saw a white light flash from his body, as if there was a skeleton-like thing, which broke away from his body and disappeared into the spatial ring.
And immediately, his fighting spirit fluctuated wildly!
Glory 2 Star ...... Honor Samsung ...... Glory Four-Star ...... Glory Five-Star ......
Everyone was dumbfounded, and they saw eight more battle rings flying out of Leo's body. With the addition of the eight Rings released earlier, the total number has increased to sixteen!!
"Knight of Light!"
At this moment, everyone present was dumbfounded, except for Scarlett. No one expected that Leo, who has always shown his strength as a glorious knight, turned out to be a knight of great light!
Even Sandra, who had known about Leo's information, had a hint of horror in her eyes. After all, data is just information. No matter how detailed the description is, it can't be as shocking as what she saw with her own eyes at the moment.
You've seen Leo kill the Dark Executioner, and she'd fought alongside him many times along the way. Therefore, she knows better than anyone how terrifying the fighting power of Leo of the glory level is.
His strength, speed, mysterious and powerful martial arts, combined with his magic, are enough to sweep away most of the Great Light Knights. Even in the face of Gna, in the face of the dark executioners, he did not reveal his true strength, what does this mean?
And now...... Sandra's gaze fell on Roy's spatial ring.
The skeleton on Leo's body seemed to be some kind of secret weapon, capable of directly lowering his level by an entire level.
At the beginning, he was just a just five-star knight in Muni City. And later, when he killed Little Barno and fought Fred, he became a five-star knight of glory.
And in this abyss, he was originally a knight of the One Star of Glory. However, when rescuing Yalvis and the others just now, I saw with my own eyes that this kid broke through to the glory two-star knight. This means that if he guessed correctly, he should be ......
Sandra turned her mind and saw that Leo's battle ring had already started the second quarter.
Really!
Great Light Two-Star Knight!
But...... Sandra frowned. What does this kid want to do with his hole cards at this time......? A light flashed in her eyes, and her pupils contracted suddenly.
Almost at the same time, Roy's figure flashed, and he was already shooting at Morton.
Shot!
"Kill thirty or fifty, you're overestimating yourself," Roy didn't allow Morton to speak again, and the long sword in his hand was as fast as lightning, stabbing Morton in the neck, "You don't have this chance!"
"You ......"
Morton was shocked and angry. On the one hand, he never dreamed that Roy would make a move when he said it, and he was a little caught off guard. On the other hand, he didn't think about whether to return fire and ignite the powder keg. In a hurry, I didn't have time to think carefully, so I could only retreat.
The two advance and retreat, as fast as lightning.
What Morton didn't know was that as Roy swept over the sides of the Thunderstorm mercenaries' formation, the corners of his mouth hidden under the mask evoked a sinister smile.
The Thunderstorm mercenaries haven't come to their senses yet. They stood still, not knowing whether to make a move or to wait for Morton's orders so as not to escalate the conflict. At this time, Roy reached out and grabbed it. A red and blue light had suddenly lit up from the center of their formation.
"Ninth level hybrid magic, furious maelsmpool!" the mages exclaimed.
The Raging Vortex is a hybrid of fire and water with a standard mana value of 10,000 magic codes. Its power is much higher than that of many level 10 magic spells that require 30,000 magic codes. Being unleashed in the middle of a formation by such a magic is a terrible nightmare for any team!
No one expected that Leo would release such a big move with a wave of his hand seemingly flutteringly.
Before that, no one had seen him chanting incantations, and no one had seen him assist with magical gestures. It seemed that this complex elemental array of ninth-level mixed magic was as simple as the third-level magic that other people silently stood.
What a terrible mana control trick...... (To be continued.) )
