Chapter 33: The Death Knight

"Humble intruder, who gave you the courage to disturb the great lord Edwin's rest!"

A long, hoarse voice sounded, as old as if it had been sealed in dust for thousands of years, so old that even the pronunciation of the throat seemed to have a smell of dust and rust, which was disgusting. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

A huge necromantic aura emanated from the center of the altar, and the entire hall was enveloped in cold and gloomy in an instant, and all the adventurers felt this aura, and an icy fear rose uncontrollably in their hearts. And the skeletal warriors who attacked like a tide, after feeling this necromantic aura, suddenly became berserk, rushing towards the adventurers.

"Evil Spirit Lord!"

The movements in Ron and Mixiu's hands couldn't help but freeze for a moment, although when they first accepted the mission, they were ready to face the evil spirit lord. However, at this moment, when the Evil Spirit Lord really appeared, he couldn't help but feel a little chill in his heart.

Is the legendary existence that can bring disaster to the continent of Camrando really something that can be resisted by itself?

Mi Xiu smiled bitterly, he didn't expect that the worst outcome had happened, this battle was only afraid of being more than lucky, and he only hoped that the thieves who stayed behind to deliver the letter would be able to attract enough attention from the head of the regiment.

The huge white bone coffin in the center of the altar began to make a rattling sound, and Sensen's white bones began to scatter, almost forming a mountain of white bones in the center of the altar. And in the middle of the mountain of bones, a desperate figure began to appear.

It was a tall knight dressed in elaborate black knight's armor and a blood-red cloak. There are two black holes on the visor where only the eyes are exposed, and there are no eyes to be seen, only two empty black holes.

The knight's palm was the only limb exposed outside the armor, there was no flesh and blood, five slender fingers were white bones, and in his right hand was tightly held a huge long sword with a simple shape, and the long sword was engraved with delicate patterns.

The war horse under the knight's crotch is also dressed in black armor of the same color, and it is one with the knight. However, the head and limbs of the war horse, which were not covered by the armor, were also without flesh and blood, only thick white bones. The whole body of the war horse is faintly wrapped in purple-black flames, there are red magic flames burning on the four hooves, the eyes of the skull of the war horse are blazing red, and when the head is raised and neighing, the purple-black flames erupt from the mouth and nose, like a messenger from hell.

Skeleton Warhorse, Death Knight!

Lord of the Evil Spirits, King of Skeleton Warriors!

"The power of the Grim Reaper has been dormant for too long, and perhaps the world of Camrando has begun to forget the power of the dead. The intruder who bothered me Edwin turned out to be so weak. ”

The Death Knight raised his head and swept lightly across the adventurer's ranks, his tone unconcealed in his disappointment.

However, both Michaeu and Ron know that as the king of evil creatures at the top of Camrando, the Death Knight Edwin who has awakened his real name, his words are not wrong. Legend has it that any time a Death Knight appears, the army of skeletons that comes with it will easily sweep through and destroy the Empire. The team of adventurers in front of him was indeed weak and not worth mentioning in Edwin's eyes, and he didn't even have the interest to make a move.

Valen, Michaeu, and Ron were already in a cold sweat, their soaked armor cold.

Awakening the undead creature with its true name means that it has been favored by the god of death, and not only has the powerful undead power in the abyss of sin, but also awakens the wisdom of humans.

The black-robed mysterious man who was originally kneeling around the altar also stood up after the appearance of the Death Knight, and turned his head to face the adventurers. Beneath the pitch-black cloak were still skulls with only bones left, and the only strange thing was that they had no weapons in their hands.

It wasn't until one of the black-robed skeletons raised his hands and fired a turquoise fireball at the adventurer that Mi Xiu suddenly realized and shouted, "Skeleton Mage! Damn! This is the Skeleton Mage!"

The necromantic knight Edwin didn't mean to take matters into his own, especially since the adventurers had already suffered heavy casualties after the skeleton mages on the altar began to cast emerald ghostfire fireballs.

When the Death Knight appeared, the berserk skeleton warriors jumped more agile, each attack became more ferocious, and every white bone on their bodies seemed to be harder. If you look closely, you can see that the skeleton warriors all have dark green halos under their feet, and it is obvious that these auras significantly increase their combat power attributes.

One of the Death Knight's buff magic, the Death Aura. From the moment the Death Knight appeared, all skeleton warriors in all areas were buffed with magic and their combat power increased by a large margin.

The magical power of the skeleton mages does not come from the magical elemental elves, but from the abyss of sin, the most chaotic and evil underworld. The magic they cast was simple and effective, simple fireballs, but they didn't come from the power of the fire element, but from the turquoise Nether Fire. There was no chanting, no meditation, the skeleton mages waved their hands strangely and twisted their bodies, and their hands began to condense a miserable green flame. When the flames accumulate to the size of a skull, they are fired at the chosen target.

Some of the adventurers' team were accidentally infected with this flame, like maggots attached to the bones, unable to extinguish no matter how they pounced, and rolled on the ground and wailed to death.

After the appearance of the Death Knight, the Death Aura greatly increased the combat effectiveness of the skeleton warriors, and the addition of the skeleton mage was even more unexpected. In just a few moments, the adventurers suffered a large number of casualties.

Relos and Rose, who protected Lola and Delith, and Evan who protected Ann, were all forced to the corner of the hall by the surging skull frenzy. The rest of the team was gradually cut apart by the skeleton soldiers, and Michaeu, Ron, and Valen, all of whom protected the few remaining magicians, were also forced into a corner.

As a berserker fighter, Wren and the sword envoy Mi Xiu, whose strength above level 7 has turned a large number of attacking skeleton warriors into broken bones on the ground, like a killing god in hell. The other weaker mercenaries have begun to gradually be overwhelmed by the skull frenzy.

However, the skeleton warriors seemed to be endless, and as time passed, more and more adventurers began to fall.

Avoiding a few Nether Fireballs, Relos frowned at the skeleton mage beside the Death Knight and said to Gui'er, "Go and smash those bone mages first, and I'll get out of the way." ”

"Delith, you stay behind to protect Lola. ”

Delis nodded, and the magic staff in her hand slammed out, shattering the skull of a skeleton soldier.

Relos sneered, and with a sudden swing of the broad-bladed sword in his hand, a large white light lit up, like a huge scythe, cutting a passage from the dense group of skeleton warriors.

Relos didn't stop, the broad-bladed sword in his hand buzzed, and he unleashed three qi blade slashes one after another, and the rich sword qi wrapped Relos in an unstoppable manner, tearing open the rift of the skeleton warrior, and advancing dozens of meters in the direction of the altar.

Gui'er followed closely and said lightly: "Enough." ”

I saw the half-orc archery holding the bow and arrows, and the arrows containing the pale cyan fighting spirit flew towards the skeleton mage in the center of the altar like a meteor.

"Bang!"

The sound of a skull popping.

And then there was a succession of "bang!" Bang!", one after another the black-robed mages fell.

With a phantom-like speed, Gui Er shot all the arrows in just a few dozen seconds. The arrow misses the head, and in the blink of an eye, all the skeleton mages are destroyed.

The Death Knight slowly turned his head and looked at Relos and Gui'er, whose keen battle instincts made Relos and Gui'er feel cold, and the two of them subconsciously turned over and retreated almost quickly at the same time, retreating towards the corner of the palace as quickly as possible.

An incomparably powerful sword aura slashed through the air from the altar a few hundred meters away, and where Gui'er and Relos had just stood, a huge crack opened in the hard rock floor, as thick as an arm, extending from the feet of the Death Knight's warhorse.

Edwin's sword, which had been lying flat on the saddle of the skeleton warhorse, was already held diagonally in his hand. Perhaps only this subtle movement proves that the terrifying sword just now came from the Death Knight.

Gui'er and Relos, who retreated in the air, fell in the air together, snorted, and spat out a mouthful of blood. The Death Knight's sword aura was extremely domineering, and even if he was only swept by the sword qi a little, he was seriously injured by the two of them.

Edwin glanced at it and stopped chasing him. Perhaps in his eyes, only Ron, Michaeu and Valen were the slightest bit interested in making a move. Even if they are just accepted as slaves of the undead, the level of combat power makes Relos and Gui'er not outstanding.

The remaining adventurers were all gathered in one place, and under the command of Valen, the orc warriors and swordsmen barely formed a line of defense. Thieves, mages and marksmen, taking turns recovering their stamina while facing a seemingly endless stream of skeleton warriors.

The ground was full of warriors' corpses and piles of bones, and it was extremely tragic. At this point in the battle, the number of skeleton warriors is still a small half, far exceeding the adventurers.

Valen had already sparked a madness, and the beast-like body shrouded in a faint blood-red color, erupting with tremendous power, and with each swing of the axe, the skeleton warrior was shattered and flew away. This group of warriors is like an island, fighting bravely in the onslaught of waves of skeleton warriors, standing tall.

At this moment, the originally large number of adventurers had been cut into four small teams, each fighting on their own.

Relos, Rose, Delis, Lola. The Demon Wings mercenaries leaned together. Relos and Guier, who had just tried their best to shoot the skeleton mage, were injured by the sword aura of the Death Knight, and their combat strength was greatly damaged, and only Delith struggled to resist the attack of the skeleton warrior alone.

Ron and Michaeu, the two most powerful warriors, leaned against the last two mages of the Iron Blooded Mercenary Regiment, while the thieves had already died in the battle. Edwin had apparently noticed the adventurers, the most powerful beings, and the skeleton warriors who attacked them were clearly in the majority.

And the rest of the mercenaries are tacitly close to the orc warriors of Valen. All the grenadiers had been killed, and there were less than ten orc warriors. The so-called rest of the mercenaries are actually only a few dozen. Even so, the team here is already the largest remaining force.

And the last small team, the red-haired knight Aven, who protects the priest An'o, is also fighting hard in the corner not far from Relos. The holy book in An'ao's hand was still turning page by page, and faster and faster. The runes that were originally scattered one by one gradually flew out of the book and combined into a string of incantations around the holy text.

Aven's armor had been torn in many places, and the puppy on his shoulder grinned and barked at the skeleton warrior from time to time. The white cat in An Ao's arms also exploded and lay on An Ao's shoulder, and the green eyes stared vigilantly at the skeleton warrior who was fighting with Ai Wen.
