Section 11 Mountaintop Deathmatch
The two swords snapped into each other in the air, and the starfire light collided in the night, and then Da Cheng fell back to the ground, but the figure shrouded in black fog flapped its wings and stopped there. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Now, everyone can finally see it. It was a man dressed in black, naked and covered in black bandages. On his face, only a pair of scarlet eyes were revealed, and anger flowed out of his pupils without reservation. On its back, it has black wings about a meter long, and the wings are covered with crow-like feathers.
The solitary blackness, suspended in the air, is reminiscent of the legendary Grim Reaper.
However, the most surprising thing was not his strange and terrifying costume, but the long sword in his hand that faintly shone with a faint silver light.
Darron, who knew a little about swords, could also sense the unusual thing about that sword. The workmanship that does not belong to the mortal world, the silver light that haunts the sword body, and the spiritual breath that is incompatible with the resentful air around it...... It's all showing that this is a holy sword!
For undead creatures, the holy sword is highly poisonous, so the fact that they can use the holy sword is enough to show that the guy in front of them is completely different from the monsters they have been dealing with since they went up the mountain.
"Sid, do you know what the Prince of the Dead looks like?" Daron asked his old friend as he held his sword in both hands.
"I don't know. After Sid replied, he suddenly realized that Daron meant something, "You don't want to say that this is ...... in front of you."
"I don't know, but you can see it, the weapon he's holding is not ordinary. ”
"Holy Sword...... But according to legend, the Holy Sword was eroded long before the Prince of the Dead renounced his human identity. Now, it should be a magic sword. ”
"There will inevitably be discrepancies between reality and legend...... Alicia, are you alright?" Daron asked worriedly, noticing that Alicia, who was beside her, suddenly hiding behind a rock.
"You, do you mean that this guy flying in the air is the big bad guy who caught the young girl to bleed?" Alicia poked out half of her head and stared at the black figure in the sky.
"Yes, you just hide and don't come out, this guy may ......" Before he finished speaking, he saw only a black mist left in the air, and then, a meter in front of Daron, black mist suddenly gushed out. The black shadow was like using black mist to make a spatial passage in two locations, approaching Talon in an instant,
“...... It's very troublesome!" shouted out the unfinished words as he swung his sword in the air. The blade of the greatsword met the silver shadow that sliced horizontally like lightning. Sparks ignited again in the darkness, and as Daron raised his arms from the afterforce of the sword's impact, the shadow quickly launched a second blow as if it had not been affected in the slightest.
"Don't think!" Fortunately, at this time, Sid made a vertical slash at the black shadow from the side, and the black shadow had to change the trajectory of the sword, and the blade that had been slashed towards Talon's waist turned and slashed directly upward, causing Sid's sword to be bounced away before it could pass the top of his head. Immediately, a deep voice came out of the black shadow's mouth, and seven-colored light loomed around his waist, and a huge magic array appeared at the bottom of his feet.
"It's ...... What?!" West Germany was shocked.
"Danger!
Both Daron and Sid leaped backwards while shielding themselves with their swords, their instincts telling them that they had to escape from the magic circle as soon as possible no matter what.
A sudden gust of hot wind blew in the air, and at the same time that Dalong felt a heat wave approaching him, the bangs on his forehead were burned off. In the range of the magic array, a circle of reddish-orange flames formed a huge wave of flames, and the trajectory formed a total length of 5 meters, with the width of two people's heights, and it was faintly visible that the holy sword in the black shadow's hand had been replaced by a red giant sword in the shape of a flame at some point.
The Flame Wave and the Flame Greatsword both disappeared with the magic array, and the Black Shadow regained his grip on the silver holy sword. He stood quietly in place at the moment, as if he was looking at everyone.
Alicia and the soldiers around her were all stunned at the moment. After realizing that this was a battle that she was not qualified to participate in, Alicia decided to obediently hide and cheer silently for Daron and Sid.
At this moment, some brave soldiers stood up and surrounded the black shadow in a circle. The black shadow glanced at it, and the words sounded again, deep and long, like the sound of a bell from ancient times, with a simple and heavy breath, lingering in the ears. With the surge of magic in the spell, the black shadow's waist once again lit up with seven-colored light, which seemed to have some kind of linkage with the spell.
"Ah!!" Because they had seen the power of the flaming sword just now, the soldiers all shouted and raised their swords and rushed forward. They wanted to bet on the Shadow to do harm before he could finish the spell.
However, the ancient chanting came to an abrupt end, and the shadow had finished chanting the incantation in a matter of seconds. A magic array that was much larger than before appeared out of thin air at the soles of everyone's feet, and the sword in the black shadow's hand began to transform.
"No, get out of here!" Talon's shouts could not stop the soldiers who rushed forward, and a turquoise sword appeared in the hand of the black shadow instead of the silver holy sword. As soon as it appeared, it began to voraciously suck the air around it. When it is saturated, the blade glows green and transparent. The black shadow waved his hand casually, and saw a tornado with a height of 10 meters and a diameter of about 50 meters rising out of thin air. The spiral wind effortlessly swept up the approaching soldiers, and the furious tornado contained thousands of wind blades, and the soldiers who rose in the air were all strangled into bright red pieces of flesh and blood.
There was a tumult in her stomach, and Alicia covered her mouth with a painful expression, stopping the urge to vomit. In an instant, the wind vanished, and the black shadow changed back to the silver holy sword in his hand.
Suddenly, the appearance of the black shadow looked a little surprised, and the two people who were still in front of him just now Daron and West Germany all disappeared at this moment. In the eye of the wind, he didn't realize that while the wind was raging, Daron and Sid were already buried on his side waiting for the right moment.
The left and right sword lights struck him at the same time, and in such a short time, the black shadow had no time to chant the next incantation.
“......”
"Whew!" The black wings behind him suddenly stretched out to the maximum, and the black shadow took off in an instant, and the figure that jumped into the air was already beyond the reach of Daron and West Germany's attack range.
"Damn!" Daron spat helplessly. Above the sky, where no one could attack, the black shadow held his sword across his chest, and the quaint chant sounded again, and he actually chanted a spell in the air.
"Bow and arrow!" snatched a soldier's bow and arrow, and Daron aimed his bow at the shadow of the shadow.
"Huh!", the sharp arrow came out of the string, with the momentum of breaking the wind and destroying the bones, and flew straight into the sky.
Unfortunately, a strong gust of wind swept across at an inopportune time, pulling the flight path of the bow and arrow aside. The bow that grazed the face of the black shadow shot into the endless void, and the black image completed the chanting of the incantation at the same speed as before.
The silver holy sword gradually transformed from the hilt into a dragon-patterned longsword with a simple shape that required both hands to grasp.
The black shadow threw the sword directly from the sky to the ground. The dragon-patterned sword fell into the cracks of the earth and rocks with a sense of weight, and the surface began to fluctuate unsteadily.
Everyone felt the ground shake violently, as if a dragon was rolling underground.
"Alicia!" Daron hurried in the direction of Alicia, but the surface of the ground rose and fell more and more violently, and the ground on the top of the mountain seemed to have turned into a rough sea at this time, and the rolling waves set off made Daron unable to stand still.
"Boom!" something surprised everyone again, and countless thick earth and stone columns burst out of the ground one after another, rushing into the sky at an astonishing speed. On the way to the sky, the soldier who was unsteady on his footing was carried into the sky by the column, but unfortunately fell and broke his neck. The soldier who happened to be standing on the top of the column was directly taken to a height of 100 meters in the air, isolated and helpless.
Alicia was now also sitting on top of one of the columns, a lamb to the slaughter.
The sword that had been inserted into the ground returned to the hands of the black shadow again, and he continued to chant the ancient incantation in the face of the powerless humans in front of him.
"Damn!!" Daron used all his strength to slash at the pillar where Alicia was!
The thunder that fell from the sky began to gather in the black shadow's hand, and the sword in the black shadow's hand transformed into a purple thunderbolt sword again. Alicia suddenly seemed to understand what the dark shadow was trying to do. He was going to summon thunder and lightning and directly chop all the people isolated on the cylinder to death.
Looking at Daron at his feet, who was desperately smashing the stone pillar to save him, Alicia gritted her teeth and looked in the direction of the black shadow.
At this time, although she was on top of the stone pillar, she was only a few meters away from the level of the black shadow, which was not an insurmountable number.
With this in mind, she began to slowly retreat to the edge of the circular section of the stone column.
West Germany at the bottom looked at it and was amazed.
"Darlon, look, what is she doing?"
"?!" Daron stopped swinging his sword and looked upwards, "...... Wouldn't it?"
At that moment, Alicia started! The top of the cylinder of about ten meters became his running distance, and when she touched another edge in the straight line, Alicia jumped!
Flying in the air, she clenched the armor-piercing sword with both hands, crossed her waist, and her eyes were full of determination.
Seeing her distance and the black shadow rapidly approaching, Daron and Sid on the ground, as well as the many soldiers who stayed on the column, all gasped.
However, Alicia's acceleration stopped halfway through, and she didn't have enough jumping power to reach the necessary range of her attacks. Everyone sighed with emotion, and Daron was ready to receive Alicia's consciousness even if his arm was gone, and ran towards Alicia's bottom.
However, the 16-year-old girl does not seem to have given up.
"I learned it from Darlon, go die!" Alicia turned to her backhand to hold the sword, and after charging it back, she threw the armor-piercing sword out. This must have been learned from the trick Daron had just learned from the ghoul he had rescued her from the ghoul's mouth.
In the face of the approaching armor-piercing sword, the black shadow did not show a trace of panic, he decisively stopped chanting, and lifted the holy sword, and the armor-piercing sword flew out.
Although the attack failed, she finally stopped one of the dark shadow's devastating spells, and Alicia felt that there was only so much she could do. A wave of dizziness hit, and the body began to fall due to gravity, and the shadow noticed the young girl for the first time. Looking at the thin figure that kept falling, a mysterious fluctuation stirred in the black shadow's heart. What is this? A sense of déjà vu turned into an invisible force pulling him, and his body involuntarily flew to Alicia's side.
Amazingly, instead of slashing Alicia in the air, he took her and fell back to the ground lightly with her in his arms.
Both Daron and Sid raised their swords and glared at him, but the shadow stared at the girl in his arms, not interested in the two of them. In a trance, Alicia woke up to find a pair of scarlet eyes staring directly at her, and her first reaction was to break free. But after a while, Alicia involuntarily stopped struggling. Because, in the eyes that looked directly at her, she did not see a trace of anger, but there was an indescribable tenderness that made her feel kind.
Something slid down the side of Alicia's face, tickling her, and when she noticed, she realized that it was a line of tears that slipped from the corners of her eyes. Strangely, Alicia didn't know why she was crying, but an inexplicable sadness wrapped around her heart like a thorny thorn.
Alicia's right hand began to climb up the side of the shadow's face, a movement that seemed to be revealed naturally if it was not through her own will. The holy sword in the black shadow's hand emitted an even more intense silver light at this moment, and the light flickered rhythmically, like the heartbeat rate of a human being. No one noticed it except Alicia, and just as Alicia was about to touch the bandage on the dark shadow's face, a serpentine mark on the back of his neck quietly disappeared......
"Alicia!" A flash of sword light flashed, and Alicia felt the world spin around, and her head hit a hard thing, which was Daron's breastplate, and she was leaning against Darlon's chest at the moment. It seems that this reliable mercenary saved himself again. But, what was that feeling just now, who is this black shadow?
