Chapter 466: The Magician Who Appeared
Warhammer didn't like some of the forms of the clergy, but he had to admit that when it came to those whose souls were tainted, they didn't drag their actions in the slightest. He believed that he could not break down that barrier by his own violence alone, so the help of the clergy was necessary. But a stubborn man like him would never say a good word to them, and Dominic was no different.
"Do you think we can guarantee that we won't be in conflict with each other?" Blackburn whispered to Maffeo, who had felt that the other party's eyes had been on him and Maffeo and Warhammer since the two gray-robed men from the Inquisition appeared.
"Who knows?" Maffeo glanced at the two gray-robed men standing at the end of the clergy line without making any move, and the other clearly did not avoid Maffeo's brief gaze. "As long as those guys don't do anything out of the ordinary, and of course, we're going to have to take a good look at Warhammer. ”
"He's a headache. In Blackburn's sight, the warhammer was at peace at this time, but no one dared to guarantee that he would not make a move in the next second that the other party would see him as an enemy.
Maffeo couldn't help but smile bitterly, "You know what, Eugene, although I don't want to say that, but at the critical moment, I have to make the best choice according to the situation. That's the biggest headache for me, and if the consequences of Warhammer's actions are worse than those of the priesthood, I might give that guy a punch. ”
"I want you to do that, no matter what, stop him from doing something stupid. Blackburn grimaced, knowing that Maffeo didn't say that from his heart at all, but he had to compromise with the current situation.
Dominic pretended to be unconscious, but in fact he deliberately walked up to Maffeo and Blackburn, and whispered in other directions. "Watch out for the grey-robed bastards, the ghosts, you and the scum of the Dark Order are a thorn in their side. ”
"Why do you want to remind me, Dominic?" asked Maffeo.
"I just don't want you to be wronged more, that's all. Dominic pouted. "It is impossible to completely eliminate people's prejudice against you, and I can be sure that my opinion of you has changed somewhat, although that does not mean that I would be happy to see you in my presence. ”
"Anyway, thanks for the reminder. 'Maffeo would love to shake Dominic's hand, but given the current situation, he didn't do that.
"No thanks, one more friend is always better than one more enemy. Dominic patted Maffeo on the shoulder and walked forward.
A fork of lightning streaked across the plains of Amiens, and thunder echoed through the forest. Almost everyone stopped what they were doing at the same time and looked up at the pitch-black sky, Maffeo frowned and whispered. "Bigger storm coming, hell the weather......"
Suddenly, the wind blew and tore at their hair and clothes like a hurricane, slapping their faces with the branches and leaves pulled from the trees. Under the influence of the strong winds, the atmosphere in the forest was much more disturbed. At the same time, the clergy were unable to perceive the nature of the barrier smoothly, and the raging storm swept the land almost in the next moment.
A strong downpour fell on the heads of the people and plants, more violently than the previous rain. Maffeo could only see that the rain was almost a curtain of ash, and then he heard Dominic's warning. "The magic has worked, and the magician hasn't left here yet. ”
"What do you mean?" asked Maffeo.
"The meaning is simple, this sudden storm was caused by the magician!" Dominic said to Maffeo with his hand against the cold rain rushing in his face.
In the midst of a slightly chaotic scene, the church finally had its first move. Its doors slowly opened, and its black figure was as endless as a poisonous snake. A large number of members of the Dark Order walked out of the church in a neat line, and their presence raised the clergy's vigilance to the highest level.
The two grey-robed men of the Inquisition finally made a move, walking almost in unison towards the barrier, and Maffeo felt that he didn't have to endure their uncomfortable gaze for a while. Indeed, there is something that deserves their attention.
More and more frequent lightning flashed across the sky, and the storm kept raging, and there seemed to be no end in sight. Maffeo slowly stepped back, drawing his greatsword behind him after making sure that no clergy noticed him. The warrior's instincts told him that the threat was looming, from the magicians who had influenced, no, or rather created the storm.
It was impossible to tell from which direction the mage would attack by sound, and Maffeo could only hope that there would be some signs before the attack. As for the position of the magician, Maffeo is not clear for the time being. Of course, it's better for him to be on his side or neutral. And his side with the Dark Order is the worst-case scenario.
One of the gray-robed men of the Inquisition left the barrier, approached Golantis, and whispered a few words to her. Blackburn, who noticed this, didn't know what they were talking about, but he could tell from Grantis's expression that something more troublesome was about to happen.
Maffeo gently walked back and forth with his broadsword, trying to keep himself moving so that he would not be the first target of the mage. But it backfired, the chain of lightning came so suddenly, and the other party made it clear that he wanted to eliminate everyone present at once. Indeed, Maffeo didn't react the moment he attacked, until the two gray-robed men and paladins of the Inquisition seemed to have expected to unite to prop up a huge shield of holy light.
At the last moment of the lightning strike, Maffeo rolled forward and rolled into the range of the shield, despite the consequences of gnawing on a mouthful of mud. And just as his mouth was gnawing into the mud, the chain of lightning also slammed into the protective shield. The paladins were clearly overwhelmed, until Golantis himself infused the shield with his own Holy Light.
In the gap between the mages and the second wave of attacks, Evie and the Grey-robed men drew a holy light symbol in the air, accurately indicating the mage's location. Surprisingly, the magician's position was not on the other side of the barrier, but behind a beech tree about a few dozen meters behind everyone. But there was no doubt that everyone present could see that the chain lightning had only attacked the crowd on the outside of the barrier. The Dark Order of Believers on the other side of the barrier looked at their opposites with cold eyes, and Adams, who was at the head of the Cultists, sneered.
Maffeo quickly made a decision, and when Evie and the gray-robed man marked the location of the magician, he immediately put on a layer of blood qi protection for himself, and then rushed out of the shield with his big sword obliquely, and ran straight towards the location of the magician.
"What does that guy want to do?" Dominic said in surprise.
"Funny, that ghost surprised me, but we have to do our job. The gray-robed man reminded.
"Bastard......" Dominic turned his head and gritted his teeth at the gray-robed man who made him feel uncomfortable.
"She's right, Dominic. Evie spoke up just in time to stop what might have been infighting.
"Yes, she was right. Dominic whispered, joining the team that broke the barrier. 8)
