The final chapter of the fading light
"Whew...... Huh...... "His eyes were already a little blurry, his legs were trembling, and the weapons in his hands were all likely to be taken off.
He had been fighting for too long, and he didn't know how many enemies he had killed, all he knew was that he kept killing the enemies that were rushing at him, and the mechanical slashes and stabs again and again.
Every muscle in his body was demonstrating to him, and he only felt a burst of soreness all over his body, and the pain in his abdomen was unbearable - a fallen angel kicked this position before, it was a six-winged fallen angel, and that kick was strong enough to sink hard, I am afraid that a few ribs were kicked and broken.
In his heyday, he would have been able to block that kick, but he was too weak.
He was tired, tired, and the only good news was that the enemy was just as tired as he was.
After a night and two days, Hegel and Grant were still fighting, and looking at the way the two kings came and went, they seemed to have a lot of energy to spare.
All the fallen angels were stopped by the strong people of all races, but the strong ones were also lacking in skills and could not spare more time to help the mixed army.
The biggest advantage of the undead is revealed, although most of them are not strong in combat, but they will not be tired, in such a long battle, the warriors of all races are almost exhausted, even the demons are no exception, some of the human soldiers are even tired and faint, but the undead are still "vibrant", and the battlefield situation begins to tilt towards the undead.
The walls of the Ironstone Fort were full of gaps, and smoke and flames drifted above the ruins. The artillery and bed crossbows had been completely scrapped in the high-intensity fighting, and the city defense forces had already taken down the walls to join the ground fighting.
There are only two or three big cats and kittens left in the dwarf airship flying in the sky, the alchemy bomb is long gone, and the airship can only patrol in mid-air, and when it sees that the battle situation is tight, it will fire two cannons wherever it is, which seems weak, but fortunately there is no other threat in the sky.
The legions formed a defensive formation, and a third of the soldiers were asleep in the innermost circle, and these exhausted soldiers fell asleep as soon as they arrived in the inner circle, while the soldiers who had come in before them to rest only slept for two or three hours before they were called up sleepily and turned into the next battle.
"Order the troops to retreat, return to the city walls, and rely on the walls for defense. Hades also came to the front line with his own armor and sword, he split a undead spirit rushing towards him with a sword, and shouted: "Now there is no fallen angel command, these undead are spontaneous attacks, there are no rules, as long as we rely on the city wall, we can easily defend!"
Woo...... Woo...... Woo......
The horn of retreat sounded, and the soldier who had just laid down was awakened by the slap of his comrade, squinting and not knowing when he would close his eyes again, and was dragged into the city.
The coalition army retreated into the city, and the city gate was long gone, but the narrow city gate was easy to defend, and only a few sword and shield soldiers and pikemen were sent to completely defend the city gate.
The army of the undead followed the coalition army like a fart, ignoring the powerhouses of all races who were still entangled with the fallen angels, and rushed straight to the walls of the Iron Stone Fortress.
After attacking the breach in the gate to no avail, these unintelligent bones and rotten flesh turned to the rest of the wall and roared upwards, and more undead wanted to climb up, so they piled up a hill under the wall.
The wraiths easily relied on their physical superiority to float up, but they were quickly cleaned up by the Holy See's paladins and priests without assistance.
There was a large area of black pressure under the city wall, and there were living corpses climbing up hand and foot along some broken gaps in the city wall. The soldiers on the city wall picked up the oil barrels that had been brought up by the auxiliaries and set them on fire, and the archers shot rockets at the oil barrels, and in the violent explosion, the city walls were turned into a sea of fire, and the corpses that had not yet decomposed were lit into torches
, turning to ashes in the stench of a piece of corpse oil.
"Hegel, it seems that I underestimated you, I didn't expect you to fight me for so long. Grant's black wings flapped behind him, and his face was covered with wounds, several of which were hideous and deep wounds, even to the bones.
The long sword in his hand had already been broken in half, Rao is sword was of excellent material, but it couldn't withstand the countless violent impacts that made the metal more and more brittle, and the black blood on it didn't know whose it was.
Hegel held the ground with one hand, and only one hilt of the long knife was still in his hand, and the rest was already in pieces.
After all, his strength is not as good as Grant, he is only a demigod, even if he is just facing an inferior god, he is also in a situation of being pressed and beaten.
A large piece of his scalp was missing, an arm was broken, and a piercing wound was cut on his chest...... And that's not even counting the more minor injuries on the rest of the body. Hegel has run out of oil.
"I remember someone saying they were going to remove me from the altar, why didn't they do it so quickly?" Grant scoffed, and picked Hegel's chin with the remaining half of his sword, looking like a swinger who picks prostitutes.
"I'm not dead yet, huh...... How can you be so sure you can kill me?" Hegel gasped, a hideous grin cursing into the corners of his mouth with bloodstained teeth.
"But you're about to die, and you were so hard-mouthed before you died, which doesn't make your death more comfortable. Grant dropped half of the blade in his hand, pinched Hegel's jaw, and put his face next to Hegel's ear, as if he wanted to kiss his lover, "I'll break your neck." ”
As he spoke, Grant's hand began to exert force, and Hegel's eyes, which were powerless to resist, bulged out, and his neck irreversibly began to deflect.
Seeing that he was about to slash the most difficult enemy with his own hands, Grant laughed insolently.
Then he stomped Hegel's wrist and pulled a black crystal out of Hegel's palm.
It was a demon crystal.
Hegel's eyes widened sharply, and his eyes, which had already bulged out with blood pressure, now looked even more permeable.
"Are you really a thief, Hegel, and want to die with me by blowing it up?" Grant examined the Demon Crystal and tossed it away.
"It's a pity, it's a pity, I knew you wouldn't just be tied up like this, so I prepared in advance. I think your plan is completely bankrupt now, right?hahahahaha, if you want to kill me, go back to your mother's womb and practice!hahahahahaha!" Grant lifted the final threat, and didn't care about it.
There was a look of relief on Hegel's face, then he smiled suddenly, and then shouted:
"Dark, it's now!"
The huge Demon King's true body exploded violently, and the huge energy contained in the flesh spread and raged, and Grant suddenly caught him off guard unexpectedly!
On the other side, a black figure burst forward with violent magic fluctuations!
"Sylvia, Three-Element Arrow!"
The elven girl who was fighting a four-winged fallen angel heard her lover's voice and didn't have time to think about it. A holy feather arrow appeared on the bowstring of the "Tide" longbow, and the natural internal force exploded, gold, blue, and green...... The brilliance of the three elements was wrapped in ribbons, breaking through the void around him and shooting towards Grant!
The next moment, Sylvia's body was knocked out by the fallen angel, and it crashed directly into the city wall, embedded in it.
"Hmm......" the girl groaned, only to feel that the bones in her body were about to shatter.
The beautiful three-element arrow, which seemed to be a treasure, slammed into Grant's body that caught him off guard, and the life force directly broke through the defense of the fallen energy force field around Grant's body. And in the palm of the dark hand, a black crystal shone brightly!
It was the demon crystal that was thrown out by Grant just now, it belonged to Hegel and contained most of Hegel's power!
Now is when Grant is at his weakest. He had just experienced a great battle, and he was hit by Hegel's flesh and exploded, and Sylvia's three-element arrow broke through his energy defenses...... The seriously injured Grant had no more strength to spare, so he could only wave his hand and send out a shock wave of energy, trying to stop Gyun from approaching, as long as he survived the period of weakness of the strength in his body, he could win!
Even if it is a wave of energy that is waved out of his hand, it is not blocked by dark energy under the blessing of divine power. Seem...... The hopes placed on all races are about to dissipate.
"It's over. Hades leaned feebly on the edge of the wall.
Only Sylvia smiled.
She saw,
A strange and familiar mask.
Strange because she hadn't seen this mask in a long time;
Familiar because she had seen this mask before.
Assassin Mask "Withered Flower", effect: with the magic effect "withering", it can be used once a month to invalidate any attack of any enemy, but it needs to be charged three seconds in advance, and when it is charged, it will produce a large amount of magic fluctuations, and can be used once a month.
This is an unintentional work from an alchemist, because the effect is too "chicken", no assassin has chosen it for three hundred years, and Di still chose it because he didn't have so much money, compared to other magic masks that cost thousands of gold coins casually, this mask that only bought three hundred gold coins was undoubtedly the best choice for Di at that time.
Who would have thought that this mask would one day really have its own use?
I'm afraid that the alchemist who created this mask would not have thought of the first enemy he encountered in this work......
It's a god!
The waves of magic that shrouded him met Grant's energy shock, like the sun met ice and snow, and the two intertwined and dissipated.
The "withered flower" mask that has completed its mission has disintegrated one by one, and this magic mask, which has already involved a little "origin rule", is only a mortal product after all, and has been destined by fate to become a disposable item from the first moment it meets the divine power.
Dark's body pounced on Grant with an indomitable momentum, and the smile on Sylvia's lips that was embedded in the city wall faded, and then turned into endless fear!
She saw the determination in her dark eyes!
She should have thought a long time ago, how could anyone survive such a violent explosion of energy?!
"No!"
Relying on the absolute armor-piercing ability, the dark "Rose" long thorn poked a hole in Grant's chest, and his palm pressed against Grant's chest, and in the palm of his hand, pale golden dense runes appeared on the black demon crystal.
The demon crystal was darkened into it, two kings, a union of spirit and flesh......
Since the moment the body of the demon king Hegel of the previous generation exploded, another battle between kings broke out!
As a demon king, a man is never afraid of death!
Even death will fade in the light!

......
A thousand years later
Ironstone Fort
Monument to the Martyrs of the Coalition.
The woman in the military uniform of the elven clan stood in front of the monument, she stretched out her white jade hand and rubbed it on the monument a few times, her emerald green eyes with deep nostalgia.
"Legionnaire. A timid voice rang out.
"Little Bell, why are you here?" the woman asked softly, turning to the elf girl behind her, who was only half her height.
"It's Uncle Milo looking for you. The little girl's voice was still timid.
The woman's brow furrowed.
"Sylvia, don't blame the little bell, I asked her to bring me here. A tall blonde elf walked in, his eyes were clear sky blue, and his charming smile was enough to attract the most discerning girl.
"Milo, you should know what day it is. Sylvia said.
"It's Martyrs' Day. Elf Milo replied dryly.
"Then you're still coming here to disturb me!" said Sylvia's voice with anger.
Milo put away his charming smile and said coldly: "Sylvia, it's been a thousand years! Can't you still get out of the cage of your mind?! I've been pursuing you for eight hundred years, can't I compare to the demon who has only been with you for a few years?!"
"He's my husband!" Sylvia slapped him and slapped Milo, "No matter how long he's been with me, all I know is that he's my husband!"
"Sylvia, you woman is unreasonable!" Milo said angrily, covering her injured face.
"Milo, my husband is the one who dares to confront Grant head-on, he is a hero who kills gods, in front of him, what qualifications do you have to compare with him?"
"You woman is insane. Milo put down the sentence and walked away angrily.
The little bell timidly looked at his own army commander who had just become angry.
With the blue light flashing, an old man in a red robe appeared in front of the monument.
"Sylvia, the Boss must want you to be happy too. It's been a thousand years, time waits for no one, the Pope is dead, Mei Wei is dead, plus the guys who died in battle...... The rest of us don't want you to suffer for the rest of your life. ”
Sylvia turned her head to look at the old man beside her and said, "Fat Tiger, I said that your boss is not dead, do you believe it?"
"This can't be," the old fat tiger smiled dumbly, "no one will be able to withstand such an explosion, not even the boss, although I trust him very much......"
"But I believe he's still alive. "I can feel it, he's alive, it's a very esoteric feeling." ”
"I felt that he was still alive, that he was only badly injured, that he was sleeping, but that he would wake up one day. ”
"I believe that he will wake up, and when he wakes up, he will reign on the mainland. ”
"So I'll keep waiting for him,"
"Wait for him to wake up,"
"Keep doing what is in his arms,"
"That girl......"
