Chapter 6: The Pretender
"I didn't expect the Sun Thorn to be so easy to use, enough to make Princess Ben's combat power jump in a straight line. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The princess gladly stared at the golden jewel at the top of the dagger handle, and confidently said to the people, "Hurry up, we must keep going!"
As soon as the words fell, a strangely shaped white bone skeleton appeared on the corpse of the demon soldier who had turned into charcoal, it was not a human skull, round and white, with two hollows similar to eye sockets, and in the opposite direction of the hollow, there was a long pointed beak protruding outward, like a pointed bird's beak.
New pieces of flesh regrow from the charcoal, quickly enveloping the skull. The war demon soldier, who could not have survived, once again stood in front of the princess in a twisted posture like a fracture all over his body.
Yuri and Vigi are in the same situation. The monster in front of you can be defeated again and again, but it will not really die. No matter what state the body is broken into, it can always recover again in a short time.
The feeling of exhaustion became more and more intense, Yuri's physical strength gradually became exhausted, and the undead soldiers handed out their spears and stabbed Yuri in the waist, Yuri hurriedly dodged, the chains that bound the Holy Book of Light were still pierced, and the Holy Book fell to the ground, and the pages spread out, hunting and flying in the wind, and finally stopped on that page, with the golden title "Fifth Contractor: The False Promise of Life?
Yuri immediately realizes that these unkillable creatures are none other than demons named "Pretenders".
The so-called "contractor" is a demon formed by ordinary humans after their souls were taken away by entering into a contract of night with Knox, the god of darkness. The blacksmith Yuri had dealt with before was called "Heartbreaker", and his full name was "The Third Contractor: The Promise to Break the Heart's Punishment". In order to eliminate the flame of jealousy that afflicts their hearts, humans who are plagued by jealousy make a covenant with Knox to use the power of the dark god to eliminate people or things that make them feel jealous, such as killing their brother who is better off than themselves. Then, in order to escape the condemnation of conscience, he sacrificed his heart to the god of darkness as a price, and since then, this contractor has changed from an ordinary despicable person to a cold-blooded demon who cannot feel any emotion, losing the prohibition of conscience, and can also obtain unimaginable powerful power for ordinary people.
And the Fifth Contractor, who was originally a fierce and vicious warrior, could not realize the preciousness of life and the horror of death when they swung their swords to take the lives of others, and when they were mortally wounded on the battlefield and it was their turn to die, watching life gradually pass away, and the pale hands of the god of death, Volo, were getting closer and closer, extreme fear and desire to survive drove them to make a pact with Knox, who took away their souls, but gave them a false life, creating demons that could not really die, but could hardly be said to be alive。
"Even though he was already dead, he pretended to be alive, and he couldn't let go of his obsession with life and turned into a demon, hence the name of the Pretender......" Yuri muttered, "You can't defeat them with ordinary means alone!"
"Deal with the dead summoned by necromancers, and use the same methods as the living to return them to dust again. And now these guys are not dead or alive, just a kind of demon that can't be killed?" said Virgil with a solemn gaze.
Yuri nodded, recalling that in the years of guarding the Holy Thorn City, when the Holy Feather Knights of Teacher Qiao Luya faced such an enemy, they had to work together, and the Priestess of the Accompanying Army used the illusory "Light of Truth" to shine on the pretender, and the impostor would reveal its true form, which was a variety of strange demons in different forms, and at this time, the Holy Feather Knights would work together to attack the life core of the demon's body, that is, the skull with a pointed beak, so that this demon could really die. Unfortunately, when they revealed the truth, and at the same time when they could burst into true power, the knights were repeatedly locked in a bitter battle to barely crush the core and win.
There is no Miss Priest now, and no one can summon the Light of Truth. He is no longer a knight of the Holy Light, and has lost the support of the Holy Light, and the only hole card left in his hand is the "Shadow" Destiny from the Mirror of Shadows.
Yuri couldn't help but smile wryly. Isn't it too naïve to use Knox's own power against his creation? Destiny is useless, and he only has brute force left, can brute force alone change the tide of battle?
Wait, brute force?
Yuri's mind suddenly had an image that he had ever seen, the only exception that completely destroyed the Pretenders without revealing them in their original form!
Back then, Teacher Qiao Luya could use the Light Heavenly Mandate "Holy Feather Radiance" to directly evaporate the pretenders who did not show their true bodies with the Holy Sword of Light that soared into the sky.
"You don't have to rely on established tactics to win. Teacher Qiao Luya said proudly, "Even if I only know how to attack with brute force, if the speed of damage is far greater than the speed at which the Pretender can regenerate, I can still destroy them." ”
Teacher, I, as a rookie knight, want to be like the Seven Holy Horsemen to destroy the enemy with a vain life in front of me, I know that this is very reckless and extremely unwise.
However, in this situation, in order to get these civilians out of danger, I am afraid that they can only try.
I don't dare hope to have the same power as my teacher.
But at least, I believe that I can have the same courage as my teacher who will never give in!
Yuri made up his mind, turned back to Virgi and said resolutely, "Virgi, will you arrange the enchantment?"
"Of course the enchantment can be arranged! It just needs to be at least five minutes, and nothing can touch the unfolding magic array! The pretenders come and go, and they won't give us a chance to set up the enchantment!"
Yuri proudly raised his smit: "I will give you the time you want!"
"What?" Virgie's eyes widened, "Do you want to stay alone outside the barrier and drag the Pretenders?" no matter how hard you grit your teeth, it's only a matter of time before you are dragged to death by them!"
Yuri smiled heroically, his eyes burning with fighting spirit: "I can escape before the barrier is completed, don't worry." Playing with them for five minutes, I think I can hold it up. ”
Virgi nodded, ran on the ground in the forest in a straight line, pasted a rune card every ten meters, and then slapped the robe with both palms, and the 100-meter-long card line on the ground emitted a faint light, and the thin light bubbles like glass spread outward from each card, only when the light shells of all the cards spread and became one, the indestructible enchantment was officially complete, but before that, if the card was trampled by the iron hooves of the war demon soldiers, the enchantment would completely collapse before it was formed.
Virgy nervously held the rune in his hand, summoned a strong cyclone to blow away the war demon soldiers rushing on the left, and saw that there were also a large number of enemies screaming and rushing on the right, and he was really powerless. And a huge black flame blade with the momentum of opening the mountain and cracking the rock, a sweep fanned back all the war demon soldiers on the right, Yuri held the burning slash in his hand, shouted horizontal and vertical slashing, and fought with the beast-like war demon soldiers in close combat. Pitch-black blood and carbonized limbs flew everywhere, gathering and growing new muscles on the ground, and then screaming and pounced again. And Yuri's body was also scarred, and the red blood sprinkled on the sin evaporated into a red mist.
The bubble of light had slowly closed, leaving only one last hole at a height of about five meters. Virgi anxiously shouted, "Enough is enough, Yuri!
Yuri gritted his teeth and swung his sword to shake off the entangled monsters behind him, and reflexively ran towards the enchantment, trying to pass through the last hole, but when he took off, he found that it was like a hundred heavy iron balls wrapped around his feet, and the huge pull held him to the ground.
Yuri looked down and saw that it was the hands of the demon soldiers wriggling on the ground that were wrapped around his feet.
Virgy looked at Yuri, who was covered in bruises, in extreme shock, and wanted to uncover the latest rune card to destroy the enchantment, but was bounced away by a huge force when he touched the card.
It's too late, the barrier has been completely completed, and even if the caster himself wants to destroy this impregnable barrier, it will not be easy.
Only then did Virgy realize that perhaps Yuri had not intended to enter the barrier in the first place, and the mixture of sadness and guilt struck, his eyes widened, and he shouted hoarsely: "Yuri! You bastard! You were ready to take your life to stop you!"
Yuri raised his head suddenly, and his smile did not diminish in the slightest: "You made a mistake with Virgy! I asked you to set up the enchantment, I don't want me to affect you and those weak moon elves when I destroy the war demon soldiers!"
The Mirror of Shadows floated in front of Yuri's chest, a metallic black flash of light emerging from the mirror.
"Mecha composition? Deflagration Iron Rider!"
Yuri's armor was suddenly covered with a layer of inky black, and then the fragments of broken weapons and armor scattered around him whirled and swirled towards Yuri, and splintered sonorously and forcefully on Yuri's body, cutting off all the entangled limbs. Then Yuri's jet-black steel wings unfurled behind him, glowing in the silver sunlight.
Although I didn't learn the Divine Feather Radiance of Teacher Qiao Luya.
But Carl, Audron, Sewell and Big Fat Brother...... The blow infused with passion by the Four Horsemen of the Holy Feather once carved an imprint in the depths of my soul. The only hole card left in my hand is the trump card you gave me with tears!
I have to use the combined blow of the four horsemen with the strength of one person, this is my only chance!
Assemble a new armor that can shelter all impacts, use wind magic to increase the pressure of the air and increase the intensity of the burn, infuse the blade and body with raging fire, and adjust the angle of the charge with a thick and huge shield.
Yuri's eyes widened, and he roared angrily: "Sacrifice yourself together?"
