Chapter 157: Swords, Staffs, and Holy Bows
The soldiers of Arrog were struggling against the skeletons that rushed up. In order to delay time, they pushed up the 'iron barricades' that had been prepared in advance and fastened them to the edge of the valley to block the attack of the skeletons.
The sturdy iron spike defense had a good effect, and for a while the skeletons were blocked and could not attack. However, General Mag, who was commanding the battle from the sidelines, knew that such a method would only delay for a while, and it would not be possible to rely on it to win the battle. And to win this battle, either there are enough magicians to support them, or Anne can make it back in time.
If you pay a little attention, you can find that from the frantic attack of the skeleton soldiers to the desperate defense of the soldiers of Yarog City, in the process, there is no figure of the daughter of punishment that everyone expects - Anne.
Indeed, now Anne is not here. But just because she's not there doesn't mean she won't come back. And General Mag is holding on to this line of defense, just to stall for time, hoping to wait for Anne to return.
Anne left the battle line three days ago and headed to the 'Forest of Sages' in the Northwest to seek a breakthrough in power.
Over the past period of time, Anne has become proficient in using the Judgment Sword through constant practice. But after a while, she found that no matter how hard she trained, her strength did not break through. Knowing that she couldn't defeat Nui Po with this strength alone, she consulted the well-informed General Mag to see if there was anything she could do to push her limits.
General Mag was glad that Anne was so helpful in dealing with Nuipo. As the daughter of punishment, Anne should not belong to any faction. The duty of the Daughter of Punishment is to adjudicate the forces of extremism and then punish them.
For example, if one day the Bhikshuno Empire, which invaded the Kenos Empire, is turned around by the Kenos Empire, and the power of the Kenos Empire increases wildly and becomes an empire that fights in all directions, then the duty of the Daughter of Punishment is to suppress the power of the Kenos Empire.
Therefore, there is no fixed justice for the daughter of discipline. Her justice is justice based on balance.
Since there is no fixed justice, the Daughter of Punishment should be regarded as a "centrist", and now that Anne has joined the camp of General Mag, she is somewhat different from the code of conduct of the Daughter of Punishment. But this was a bit flattering to the soldiers of Yarog City.
However, it is precisely because of the help of the Daughter of Punishment that the soldiers of Arrog City can have hope and fight desperately against the attack of the skeletons. Otherwise, their fighting spirit would have been greatly reduced, and they would not have any hope.
When Anne asked General Mag if there was any way to break through the bottleneck, General Mag recommended hermits to the Sage's Forest, located northwest of the Nui Vah Heights. Legend has it that there is a hermit village in the Forest of the Sage, and a mysterious hermit lives in it.
The hermit knows the arcane arts very strongly, and knows all kinds of worldly mysteries. For Anne's breakthrough in finding the power of the Daughter of Punishment, perhaps this hermit can help.
General Mag knew about this hermit because he had appeared in the past when Nui Po had killed people passing through the valley of the sloping sun. Nui Po was held back by this hermit and could not continue to do evil. And when the hermit left, Nui Po continued to do evil.
What many people didn't understand at the time was why the hermit didn't completely destroy Nui Po, and for the sake of his later life, people asked this hermit to destroy Nui Po. Among those who prayed to this hermit, General Mag was one of them. But at that time, he was still young, and he just followed the adults.
Later, he became the lord of the city of Arrog, and knew that Nuiva, who was entrenched in the valley of the slanting sun, was the greatest threat to the highlands. Moreover, every time there is a moon of teeth, there are incidents of people being killed by Nuipo. For this reason, General Mag is bent on destroying Nuipo.
He knew that the hermit of the day could deal with Nuiva, so he went to find the hermit. After several years of searching, he finally learned that the hermit lived in the Forest of the Philosophers. But when he found the hermit, the hermit completely refused the request to help him eliminate Nuiva.
He wondered why, why the hermit kept an evil witch like Nui Po. But no matter how much he asked, the hermit did not answer.
Strangely, however, even after being spotted by General Mag, the hermit did not leave the Forest of the Sages. General Mag was puzzled by this, since he was a hermit, he naturally did not want to be discovered. But the hermit was discovered, but he did not leave.
This has to be suspicious.
General Mag had speculated about this, believing that the hermit had deliberately stayed in the Forest of the Sages, not far from the Nui Po Heights. This hermit may have something to do with Nuiva. The proof is that every time Nui Po did something unrelenting, a hermit would quietly appear to stop Nui Po.
Perhaps others didn't notice this, but General Mag, who was watching everything, knew it clearly.
As for the previous fact that General Mag had the Judgment Magic Sword, it was actually related to this hermit.
When Lus and Nui Po colluded, General Mag felt an unprecedented crisis. So he immediately went to the Forest of the Sages to seek the help of the hermit. At that time, the hermit didn't say much, but his expression was a little lonely. Then he took out the Judgment Sword and gave it to General Mag, asking him to find the Daughter of Punishment who could use the Judgment Sword.
As long as you can get the power of the Daughter of Punishment, you can defeat Nui Po.
To this day, General Mag still wondered about the hermit in the Forest of the Philosophers, such as why this hermit had the Judgment Sword, but the current situation did not allow him to be distracted by these things, and he had to concentrate on dealing with Kill and Nuiva.
The Forest of the Sages is a forest with a very symmetrical layout, like a chessboard. The paths in the forest are very clear, but they are all exactly the same, so that the forest forms a labyrinth that extends in all directions. If you don't know the route, it's very easy to get lost inside.
Anne had been guided by General Mag, and had already found the hermit's village when she came here three days ago. When the hermit learned that Anne was the daughter of punishment and that she had been introduced by General Mag, he did not embarrass her, but directly pointed her out.
Now Anne is following the hermit's instructions to the Firefly Lake in the forest to retrieve the Light Gem in the Firefly Lake. The Light Gem can spark the power of her Daughter of Punishment and give her new powers.
Of course, it didn't go well.
The Forest of the Sages is not an ordinary forest, and naturally there are unusual magical beasts. When Anne reached the Lake of Fireflies, several glittering orcs emerged from beneath the lake. The difference between this kind of half-orc and the orc world on the other side of the Western Continent should be understood as that the half-orcs here belong to the Warcraft.
They are a group of half-human, half-beasts with a pale blue hair, with a human upper body and an almost transparent snake tail on the lower body. In the pale blue glow, the fish's tail appeared solid again.
According to the hermit's information, Anne knew that they were powerful guardian beasts that had stayed here since ancient times, tasked with guarding the Light Gems that had been immersed in the Glowing Lake. If Anne wants to obtain the Light Gems, she must destroy these Light Guardian Beasts.
These Light Guardian Beasts are regenerating, and at all, they are immortal ghosts. They can be defeated, but after a while, they will reunite and resurrect.
It is impossible to kill them completely, and if you want to claim the Holy Light Gem, you must find the Holy Light Gem in the period before the guardian beasts are resurrected.
Anne has the Judgment Magic Sword, and it is still possible to deal with a few Holy Light Guardian Beasts. Besides, the hermit had already explained to her many precautions, and she was even more fearless. With the two-way use of the Judgment Sword, the long-range staff attack, and the melee sword attack, she soon dealt with the guardian beast that emerged from under the Firefly Lake.
But after those guardian beasts fell, they immediately flew from around the firefly lake, and those rays of light flowed into the corpses of the guardian beasts. Slowly, the guardian beast regained its elemental fluctuations.
This is the resurrection of the guardian beast!!!
There are many types of holy light gemstones, red, green, blue, etc. Each color of the Light Gem corresponds to a different effect. For example, red can stimulate people's combat power, and green is mainly used by healing magicians. Blue words are loved by mages and can improve the mage's ability to extract magical elements.
However, although there are many types of Holy Light Gems, it does not mean that a person can use multiple Holy Light Gems at the same time to improve his abilities in all aspects. If that were the case, wouldn't a person be able to become extremely powerful just by relying on the Holy Light Gem?
This is something that is not allowed. Therefore, different Holy Light Gems are mutually exclusive, and if people forcibly fuse Holy Light Gems of different castes, their bodies will be destroyed.
As the daughter of punishment, Anne is the type of active attacker. At this time, she also came to break through the bottleneck of strength, and what she needed was naturally a red holy light gem.
After some searching, she successfully found a red gem of holy light. Back in the hermit village, she asked the hermit to help her absorb the power of the Light Gem and break through the limits of her own strength.
The hermit was a mysterious man after all, and his name was unknown. With his help, Anne successfully absorbed the magical elements of the Holy Light Gem and transformed it into powerful power.
Receiving the powerful power of the Holy Light Gem, Anne could truly feel the power fluctuations in her body, and she couldn't wait to try it. And in the end, she discovered that the breakthrough of her power this time was not to raise her strength to a higher realm, but to awaken the Judgment Demon Sword to another state: the Holy Bow.
The power of the Holy Bow contains a powerful power of punishment. When the Sword of Judgment takes the form of a bow, the arrows of punishment emitted carry a scorching flame. Enemies that are attacked take a lot of damage. And this kind of attack is especially prominent against necromancy.
As a result, Anne's Sword of Judgment took on three forms: a sword, a staff, and a holy bow. I have to be amazed that the power of the Daughter of Punishment has been blessed by the gods, and as long as she is qualified, it is easy to come by.
Receiving the power of the Holy Bow, Anne immediately rushed to the Valley of the Falling Sun. She knew that Lus and Nui Po had colluded to attack Yarog City, and she would not let the plot of Lu Si and Nui Po succeed.
