Chapter 15: The Power of the Light, the Torture of the Heart
What power is the Light? Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 If before this, Hiko did not have a clear understanding, now he has a most real experience of the Light.
This power is good, powerful, and gives him a sense of being a superman. And Hiko, who felt this special feeling and was intoxicated by it, didn't pay attention to it, and the Abomination Butcher, who had fallen heavily from the sky, had already dragged his broken, broken body to his feet, and without fear, stretched out his huge and ugly hand to Hiko.
This is where the undead feel disgusting and desperate, and there is simply no easy way to kill him completely. They don't hurt, they don't get tired, and they don't understand what panic is. And that's enough to make them the most real nightmare of any battle.
Even the most tenacious warrior will feel fear and waver when facing these guys who will not be moved in the slightest even if they cut off their limbs, cut off their heads, cut open their chests, and crush their internal organs, but still firmly stretch out their swords to you and hand out their sharp minions.
One such monster is enough to make people fearful, and hundreds or thousands, and there will always be more and no less, can only be called a natural disaster, a natural disaster that destroys living beings. And this is the essence of the legions of the undead under the Lich Throne, who have defeated all the living on earth in the horrific manner of war, slaughtered them, revived them, and gathered them. Then bring the shadow of fear and death to all who are left alive.
It was under such circumstances that the glorious kingdom of mankind came to an end, and those who survived learned how to face these damned spirits in such pain and sorrow.
Like now, Hiko, though he didn't know how to deal with the abominable butcher who had almost broken most of his body and was still persevering in his frenzied and twisted crawl towards him. But Palladia, who had been by his side and watched all this, had already scolded him almost commandingly.
"Still stunned, raise your hand, feel the holy light in your body, and imagine a sharp sword gathering in your hand. Light and flame, blazing and holy, let it help you destroy everything before your eyes!"
In this world of the mind, with Palladia's rebuke and teaching, Hiko immediately entered an indescribable magical state. He raised his hands as Palladia had commanded, and suddenly the light that surged over him began to converge between his hands. Just as his body had transformed into a scabbard, the Sword of Light showed its edge from between his hands with divine light and white flames.
"That's it, the light is unsheathed, justice is decided. Slay your enemies with the light of judgment!"
As if he was being manipulated by a giant, Hiko swung the freshly unsheathed sword of light in his hand and swung straight down at Ramsden, the approaching abomination butcher in front of him. And the next moment, the holy light and blazing white flames were like falling steel peaks, instantly drowning everything in front of them.
The filthy land was immediately wiped out by the power of this extreme holy light, and the blazing holy flame also completed the purification of everything in front of him in an instant. The soil was all burned into clear glass, and Ramsden, the abomination butcher who was still in it just now, was directly cut open by the Holy Light and Holy Flame, and then directly purified into ashes.
In the presence of the Light, all the souls of the dead are mere filthy dregs, and all that awaits them is destruction, and for them it is eternal rest. These were the words that Palladia whispered in Hiko's ear at this moment, and listening to such words, Hiko's involuntarily clenched the scorching hilt of the sword in his hand.
Destruction and rest, what kind of experience would have led him to make such a judgment. Also, is there only one way for all the souls of the dead, and can't there be another way for them to rest in peace?
Thinking of little Pamela, Hiko gritted his teeth and immediately stepped across the scorching surface and walked deeper into the undead legion.
By this time, for Baron Rivendell, the creator of Ramsden, he had already felt the destruction of abomination, and the looming threat.
As one of the nobles of the former kingdom of Lordaeron, Baron Rivendell has a very clear understanding of the Paladin, a profession that originated in the Battle of the Dark Gate. It was precisely because of this understanding that he had an incomparably deep fear of the power of the Holy Light that he felt.
This is no longer the holy light that ordinary paladins can have, this kind of power has even reached the level of those terrifying knights in the Knights of the Silver Hand. But there weren't many of them left, Uther Lightbringer and Gavin Rad Doom had died at the hands of the Lich King, Tulayan had disappeared into the Outlands, and Tirio Fordin had been exiled forever. Who would come to this place of the dead to target themselves? Could it be Palladia, the damned elven knight?
At the thought of this, even though he had become an undead, Baron Rivendell had a chill all over his body. However, as the Lich King's Death Knight, he knew that no matter what kind of enemy he was facing, he would not be able to make an escape. The Lich King's will was watching over him, and if he did something like this shameful, the wrath from the Lich King would be enough to tear his soul apart.
So he can only find ways to repel this powerful enemy, and even kill him, using his soul to please the great Lich King Arthas. Of course, if he did do all this, then the Lich King's bounty would be enough to satisfy him. But the crux of the matter is whether he has the ability to do so.
Regardless, Baron Rivendell has made his own attempt.
"Wake up, my guards. Kill the invading enemy and bring his corpse with you!"
The most terrifying ability of the Scourgeon Legion is not the terrifying combat power of those undead, but their crazy speed of exploding troops. A scourge lord who is able to transform thousands of undead through the power of death. And those who are killed by the undead will soon become one of them.
The most fundamental reason why ordinary people are defeated against the undead army is that once they die, they will immediately become a member of the undead and become a supplement to the Scourge army. And the most fearful thing for powerful warriors in the face of these natural disasters and undead is to fall into the encirclement of the undead army.
After all, the living are the living, and their physical strength and energy determine that they cannot fight endlessly like the dead. And when they were drained of most of their physical strength and spirit by the endless undead, the powerful undead from the Scourge Legion were enough to easily take their lives. And that's exactly what Baron Rivendell intended!
The idea is good though. But the usefulness of the Light users under Palladia's guidance is extremely limited.
As a prophet with a deep understanding of Azeroth's history, and a powerful High Elf paladin with the power of the Light, Palladia already had a deep understanding of how to deal with such shameless tactics. So when he saw the bones and undead getting up from the ground and staggering towards Hiko, he had already ordered Hiko.
"Pour your Light into your feet and let it permeate the ground beneath your feet. ”
Hiko, who had thoroughly believed in Palladia, immediately followed his instructions. The Holy Light Great Sword that still existed in his hand was suddenly inserted into the surface of the ground with a blazing white holy flame, and suddenly, the earth cracked, and layers of lightning-like cracks centered on the Holy Light Sword, instantly covering all the land around Hiko, and spreading towards deeper places at an extremely fast speed.
Bursts of light burst out from beneath the surface, severing the bodies of every undead who stepped into the land like sharp blades. And the rising flame wound around the bodies of these undead along the cracks in the earth's surface, and instantly ignited them like torches, and soon burned into a pile of ashes.
Before such a power of light, no undead could get close to Hiko's left and right, and these undead could do nothing but destroy one after another. Looking at the undead who had been destroyed under the light, Palladia's voice rang out again.
"This is the consecration of the Light, the end of the dead. Go ahead and do what you're going to do. It's time for this kind of thing to end!"
I have to say that seeing these overwhelming undead suddenly burned to ashes by his own power in front of him, Hiko really felt a lot of shock. The power of the Light was so powerful that in his eyes, it was almost perfect. So much so that at this moment, he suddenly had a feeling of regret in his heart. Regret the choice before, regret the resoluteness before the regret.
Maybe you shouldn't have been so resolute just now, maybe you should think of a compromise again.
With the wavering in Yan's heart, the holy light in his body also began to weaken. Like a flame that has lost firewood, it seems that a wavering will simply cannot support the power of such a powerful Light. Naturally, Palladia noticed the change.
"What, your heart is hesitating?"
"Shut up!" scolded viciously, and Hiko immediately threw out all these thoughts that shouldn't exist.
At the same time, he looked at the shadow cage in the distance, and his eyes became more and more determined. I've already decided what I'm here for! I'm going to rescue little Pamela, whatever I have to sacrifice. As long as Pamela can be happy and rest. Let me do whatever I want. The power is gone, but this is the only smile that Pamela can have, so I must protect her.
Stepping out of his own steps again, the light on Hiko's body became more intense with the thoughts in his heart. It was like a roaring bonfire, and just the burning part of the top was enough to stir up the clouds that had gathered in the sky.
Looking at such a scene, Palladia couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Such a pure person, if he lived in Azeroth, would definitely become an amazing paladin. Maybe he will be a great hero in people's mouths. It's just a pity......
