Chapter 17: Right and Right (I)
What's going on?" the boy's remarks were interrupted, and he turned to look at the door of the atrium.
The door of the church was pushed open, and a man in a black robe slowly entered, followed by two strange figures.
Jude recognized the face of one of the two men behind him as the guard who had greeted him earlier, but now he was pale, blind, and hobbled, as if he had been subjected to some kind of hectic magic.
The black-robed man at the head, the young man found that he was limping when he walked, and his right leg seemed to be a little crippled.
Jude suddenly recalled the words of Archbishop Alphonsos Tao: "...... Necromancers are bound to regard the Cult of Light as their enemies. Modles has not yet been seen after the snow has arrived, and may soon be in the church to demonstrate or even attack. ”
This lame black-robed man is probably the necromancer Mordras.
The boy suddenly remembered what Nosa had said: "...... It will make a request for some kind of sacrifice. Becoming a necromancer comes at a price. ”
The disability of Modress is probably the price he paid for becoming a necromancer. At the critical moment, Jude found that his mind became sharper, and he was able to methodically combine previous clues and analyze the situation in front of him.
Since this is the case, then the two behind him ...... The boy shuddered, Vidia was on top, it was probably the freshly resurrected corpses of the two guards.
Jude couldn't help but take a few steps back, standing with Leia and the paladin, and found that they all had solemn faces.
"Mordras," Kirekhanon pulled out his two-handed sword behind him, "this is a church shrine, are you from the first place of sin?"
"Guilt?" the necromancer repeated the word, and laughed. His laughter was different from ordinary people, it seemed distorted and harsh, but the timbre of the youth could still be distinguished.
As if he had heard a funny joke, and after laughing to himself, he calmly asked, "What am I guilty of?" Can you please tell me?"
"You killed hundreds of villagers in Gerrit and desecrated their corpses, transforming them into your undead minions. Leia stepped forward and spoke out against Modres' crimes, "You have plagued the Northlands, causing countless innocent people to suffer and fear, and leaving countless souls of the past unable to rest...... Your sins are unforgivable!"
"Well said. Mordres seemed completely unmoved, "It's all against you, the 'sublime' Church of Light. ”
The battle was about to break out in this way, and Nosa was still investigating in the city, and was not present at the moment, so the boy quickly analyzed the situation and decided to delay the time and wait as much as possible for the bounty hunters to come to the church to rendezvous.
"Modres, you were a promising mage apprentice. Jude sternly said, "Why do you turn away from the path of the Offa and perform forbidden rituals to seek the power of twisting the darkness of the behemoth?"
"Oh, a young mage. Modres looked at the boy, "It was as if I was seeing myself as I used to be." ”
Speaking of this, the necromancer suddenly became excited: "If it weren't for the fact that she was killed by those church madmen, how could I have come into contact with the forbidden necromancy?"
"I prayed to all the gods that night, but who answered my prayers?!" the contorted voice spoke of grief and anger that no one understood, "yes, I have come to take revenge on the Church. I'm going to make you pay back for everything you took from me!"
He never thought that his persuasion would backfire, but instead provoked Modres. It seemed that conflict was inevitable, Jude sighed, pulled the black sword Cyrence from the sheath behind him, and took a fighting stance.
"Recognize the reality, Modres. Beside him, Koricanon held his sword in both hands, stared at the necromancer and shouted, "This is the Cathedral of the Holy Light, and there is no army of the undead at your disposal!"
While the paladin shouted, the church guards came from all sides at the same time, surrounding Modres.
Seeing this scene, the young man remembered the archbishop's previous advocacy of "arranging defenses to besiege Modres", and he couldn't help but secretly admire his wisdom, and suddenly became a little more sure of victory.
"You're surrounded, necromancer!" Kerikanon stepped forward and joined the encirclement, "I advise you to surrender immediately, and the Light will give you a fair judgment!"
"Sure enough, it's still the same as before, you scum of the church. Modres did not move an inch, "to bully the few, but also to occupy the moral high ground, to persecute others in the name of justice, and at the same time to feel honored for it." ”
"Today, I'm going to teach you what it means to be ...... The wrath of the dead!"
At the end of the day, almost as he roared, a shockwave spread out from the necromancer's feet. Curricanon held his greatsword in front of him and retreated to Jude and Leia to stabilize his position, while the other church guards fell.
"Don't you like to bully the weak with the more and bully the weaker? Modres laughed again, "This time, I'll let you experience it for yourselves." ”
Amid the necromancer's maniacal laughter, the fallen church guards rose to their feet, pale, blinded, and staggering, just like the two walking corpses that had followed Modres.
With Vidia on top, Jude unconsciously gasped, secretly lamenting the cruelty and horror of the necromancer's methods.
"You ......" Seeing this scene, Leia couldn't help but take half a step back, as if she was a little incoherent due to excessive shock, "You...... What have you done......"
"What did I do?" the necromancer still laughed, "I'm just repaying you the way you treated me before. Are you happy, my sweet little saint?"
As soon as the words fell, the walking corpses gathered around Modress seemed to have received an order and rushed towards Leia.
"Your Highness, danger!" Kirikanon immediately held his sword in front of the Holy Maiden, signaling her to retreat immediately, "Quickly retreat!"
"Leia, stay safe. The boy also protected the girl from the other side, and at the same time began to cast the new spell he had learned earlier, "Evo_kolmas_falrem_mesa'cripz_niez-le_flonomas!"
The lengthy incantation took Jude a long time, and he was finally finished just as the corpses were about to pounce on him. A flaming blazing flame appeared in the boy's hand, and he was thrown into the middle of the dense crowd of walking corpses, causing a violent explosion.
Jude himself had to take two steps back to avoid the aftermath of the explosion, and the walking corpse in the center was already mutilated, and the blood was dripping all over the ground. The walking corpses on the periphery were knocked back and knocked down by the shockwave, and they all got up and regrouped, ready to attack again.
The Fireball technique is one of the most prestigious practical spells of the School of Plasticity, and Jude can't help but marvel at the incredible power of the spell as he thinks back to the contents of Stansho's notes.
