Chapter 36: Nehram (3)
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Dealing with dwarves insulated by spells and shadow thieves who can't fight head-on, Doyle's combination of strength and elemental strength is effortless, even overwhelming.
First, her lineage endows her with power over any living being. Secondly, Warcraft's keen intuition makes the shadow thief's stealth useless.
Asa also wants to use the shield dwarf as a fire attraction and secretly attack himself. As everyone knows, the shadow thief's abilities are only effective for species with poor perception like humans, and the protection given by the god of shadows to believers can hide their bodies and voices, but they cannot eliminate their existence as living creatures. Relying on heat and breath, you can accurately grasp his exact position.
Of course, having a higher level of asylum is another matter. The power of the conspiracy enchantment can even be blinded by the gods, because the maintenance of the divine magic consumes Malik's own divine power, so he rarely gives this honor to his followers, and only his allies and special trading partners can enjoy it.
The dwarf held a shield in one hand and a hammer in his right, waiting for Doyle's attack.
There is no suitable hiding place in the wilderness of the Plain River, and the shadow thief can only hide in the shadows of the dwarves, looking for a suitable undercarriage.
Doyleden, who was also accustomed to his opponent's first attack, didn't see Campano move a single step for a while, and then he realized that he was no longer a knight of the Dawn Sect. With a snort, she brandished her two-handed greatsword, almost as tall as herself, and rushed towards the dwarf who stood on a steady footing with a degree no less than that of an elf.
So fast!
Assa, who was hiding in the shadows, was surprised to see that Doyle was much faster than they had met for the first time.
Campano, who has a lot of combat experience, accurately predicted Doyle's first blow, and the sound of metal clashing shook Assar's eardrum, which was close at hand, and his instinctive cringe could not escape Doyle's perception. With the dwarf's half-sideways swing of the hammer, Doyle spun his body and used brute force to push Campano out of a few positions. Because of the discomfort of the ears, he was unable to keep up with the dwarf's movements. Asa, who had only the lowest level of protection, immediately revealed his figure.
Not good!!
Before he could sneak again, Doyle's two-handed greatsword had already swept over, which had been spun in a circle.
At the last moment, Asa's feet were short, and the whole person fell to his knees, his body leaning back. The heavy blade almost slashed against his scalp, and the small sound of breaking through the air was more chilling than the metal strike just now.
Knock knock knock
The heart is beating wildly because of overstimulation.
Asa rolled on the spot. Tumbling into the shadow of Campano, who rushed to the rescue, he was frightened and frightened.
She didn't mean to kill me, did she?
Dwarves have the same idea. If it weren't for the shadow thief's alertness, I'm afraid that he would either be cut in two or slapped at this time, and killing him on the spot would not be much different from breaking his bones.
Doyle maintained a turned-around stance, the blade of his sword touching the ground, his face slightly drooping under the cover of his head, and his expression could not be seen clearly.
What am I doing here?
His hands shook slightly, and Doyle bit his lower lip.
Although it was short-lived, she did have murderous intentions.
That guy was no threat to me. How could I want to kill him?
"Doyle. Feeling Doyle's murderous aura, Link turned his head to look behind him, and the sudden tense atmosphere also made the other pair of practitioners stop.
For a moment, there was only the sound of the wind blowing and the chaotic heartbeat on the desert. Among them, Asa, who is facing the crisis head-on, jumps the fastest, as eager as someone is about to beat a drum. Doyle, who didn't know why he was murderous, began to breathe heavily.
[What's wrong?]
Some words are inconvenient to say in front of everyone, and Link uses consciousness communication instead.
[I don't know, I want to kill him inexplicably......]
The uncertain tone made Link's brow furrow.
[Lorelei.] Is this the aftermath of God's presence?] Although he has also experienced God's presence, Link's situation is different from Doyle's. His ** is the power shaping of the pillar, which itself is full of the divine power of the pillar, and he will never experience the sequelae of the divine presence experienced by mortals.
I'm not sure. The former goddess of magic also has no definite answer, but she is more inclined to the awakening of the bloodline, [after all, she is a descendant of the god of war, and the presence of the gods may have awakened her true nature.] Or or. In the subconscious, there is still the disgust of the Dawn Believers for the chaotic. It's also possible that it's simply a hated shadow thief. γ
Link made a beckoning motion, and Asa understood what he meant, quickly broke away from the dwarf's shadow, and ran wildly towards Link.
Compared to the shield dwarves. Of course, it is safer to stay with the Children of Nature, and only he can suppress Doyle, who has the blood of the god of war.
"Keep playing, don't go overboard. Deliberately speaking lightly, Link didn't want anyone else to misunderstand that Doyle was really planning to kill Asa.
Campano glanced at Doyle and saw that her expression had changed from stunned to solemn, and he couldn't help but clench the weapon and shield in his hand.
As long as it is not a simple competition with selfishness, he can accompany him to the end.
"Go on, there's not much time left for you. Link said to Wengers and Wilfredo, who stopped and watched.
The two of them glanced at each other, and once again continued the elemental manipulation of you and me, as if the scene just now had not been born.
[If it's really just a subconscious remnant of the habits of the Knight of the Dawn, I'm not worried, I'm afraid...... It is the awakening of the bloodline of the god of war. Link's expression remained the same, but his heart was calculating.
After the spirit sharing was disconnected, Doyle could no longer learn his thoughts as he had before, whenever and wherever he was, and naturally did not know that Link, who was facing away from him, was discussing with Lorelei the reason for her strange behavior.
γSeal ......γ
As soon as Lorelei brought up the beginning, he was vetoed by Link.
[The seal is intact.] The seal didn't loosen in the slightest, but Link thought of another possibility at Lorelei's prompting.
What if the god of war's intention was Doyle from the beginning? It is not good to choose who to possess, but it is her? The Great Trap has been the altar of Vlajd since ancient times, and there is no shortage of mercenaries who believe in the god of war in the arena. Even if Doyle had Vlajd's blood in his body, it wouldn't change the damage that Divine Presence did to **. Unless...... Vlajde wants to take Doyle's body, no, it's ridiculous.
Neither the strength nor the elemental control are as good as Fraged himself. The biggest difference between the god of war and other gods is that he still retains his original physical body. That is, the form of a dragon. There is no reason to put a stronger body and use a defective product mixed with human blood. Originally...... The birth of offspring between the god of war and humans is unbelievable enough.
Seeing that Link didn't speak for a long time, Lorelei thought he had thought of something.
[No...... It's a mess that I haven't sorted out yet, and there are many mysteries that don't have a reasonable explanation. For example, why did the god of war give birth to a descendant of mixed human blood? I hate my night, why did I suddenly change my mind and want to form an alliance, and what kind of deal did Vlajd make with Frost back then? γ
[Although I have allied with Frost and Cold, it was under the blinds of the conspiracy enchantment, and they also have a lot of things to hide from me. γ
"Heh......" Link chuckled, Malik was a god of conspiracy, and he still had a lot of secrets hidden in him. Alliance, not so much helplessness. It's better to say that there is something else. Now thinking about the process of forming an alliance, there is always a feeling of being deceived, maybe he deliberately created the illusion of last resort, and with his own hands, he completed the switch of camps. Not only does not offend the night, but also has an explanation for Hicks, the former ally, and perhaps still an ally.
The longer he stayed in this world, the more Link felt like he was being caught up in a vortex from which he couldn't escape.
Politics, race, deity. Neither side pleases him, but regards him as an enemy. If it weren't for the general trend now. The fight against the undead is more urgent, just afraid of ......
Why don't you listen to me?] Link's thoughts were interrupted by Lorelei's sudden question.
γWhat?γ
[Didn't I remind you to practice the skills of fighting without using divine arts?]
[Ah...... You said that......] Link pondered for a moment, trying to explain in a tactful tone, [I tried, but I couldn't get rid of the innate power of this modified body. Even if I don't use divine powers. The power that has gradually awakened can't be blocked, and besides, if I cut off my senses, wouldn't it be terrible if something suddenly happened?]
There was no reply. Just when Link thought he had finally angered her, Lorelei spoke.
[In that case, let's go with the flow.] γ
[But didn't you insist that I must practice combat skills that don't rely on divine power?] Giving up so quickly, Link was a little uneasy.
[Maybe the pillar doesn't allow it, so use the body to stop you.] Lorelei spoke amazingly.
It's not impossible...... Thinking that his every move was closely watched by the pillar, Link was relieved. If you don't violate the precepts, it doesn't mean that the column will allow it. Just like Lorelei said, let it be, I didn't want to learn in the first place, and without being a child of nature, it would be impossible for me to survive in this world. What to do so far, asking for trouble.

When Link and his party returned after dark, the town was deserted, quieter than the previous two nights.
"Strange, what about people, did you leave without breaking the contract?" Asa took three steps and two steps, jumped onto the roof of a bungalow and looked around, still finding nothing.
Wengers spread out his palms and summoned a fist-sized demon. After scouting around, the demon flew back to report that more than 100 humans had gathered in the central area.
"Central area......" Link looked at Wilfredo, "how do I remember it's an arena?"
"That's right, it's the arena, or rather, it used to be an arena and now it's just a pile of rubble. Wilfredo nodded.
"Why don't I take a look?" the Shadow Thief volunteered.
Link was silent for a moment, then nodded, telling him to be careful, "Gathering intelligence is certainly your duty and value, and you need to put your own safety first. β
Flattered, Asa quickly disappeared into the darkness of the night, and it wasn't long before he brought back a piece of information that surprised Link.
With the help of the Knights of Dawn, the mercenaries cleared a sloping trench deep into the ground from the middle of the rubble of the arena, and many of them had already retrieved their contracts from the collapsed Kalenda Treasure House. (To be continued......)
ps:ps: The plot of the volcano and the orcs is not written a word, and these three chapters should really be classified in [Competition].
