306. Believers in the Goddess of Darkness
In the face of a powerful constructed knight, Surdak did not dare to retain any strength at all, and rushed up to charge with all his might.
Behind him, a two-faced and four-armed demon god appeared so clearly for the first time, half of the demon god statue exuded a divine healing aura, and the other half exuded a death horror aura full of darkness, the two were not balanced in comparison, the divine aura had an overwhelming advantage, so the face containing the god was facing the front, while the demon's face was facing north, and the momentum was slightly weaker.
The Roman sword in Surdak's hand emitted a hint of divine aura, and the fleur-de-fleur shield also had silver plating on it.
The dark red knight at the bottom of the hill saw Surdak burst out with a powerful force, and his heart secretly sank, knowing that although he had made sufficient preparations this time, he still underestimated the strength of his opponent a little, just by this knight's burst of his own momentum, he could see that if he was a complete set of magic pattern construction on the ship, then the combat power would definitely not be below him.
But now...... A cruel sneer appeared on the Scarlet Knight's face.
Let's take a look at the gap between the Constructed Knights and the Ordinary Knights! The dark red knight thought in his heart, the double-edged broadsword behind him just flickered illusoryly, and then appeared in his hand, and he was also a dark armor all over his body burst out of a magical halo, countless magic lines quickly circulated around the dark red knight, and those magic lines weaved one magic rune after another, and these magic runes conjured into a cloud with a cloud of positive effects falling on the dark red knight.
As if blessed by countless attributes, the Scarlet Knight's physical state exploded to another level, and this power not only made him stronger, but also extended to the black-scaled horse he sat on, and the horse seemed to feel this power, and the distance he crossed in an instant was a full third more than before.
The dark red knight lightly clamped the stirrups with his feet, and the black-scaled horse let out a gentle neigh, and when he charged towards the hillside, he actually brought a trace of afterimage behind him, obviously Selena could have joined up with Surdak before the dark red knight caught up, but the dark red knight suddenly picked up speed, and the speed of the war horse's running increased a lot, and he caught up with Selena in front in an instant.
The Scarlet Knight was like a huge black shadow, chasing after Selena, reaching out to sweep Selena directly on horseback.
Selena, who was running in front, seemed to have a premonition of danger, her body was originally tightly hugged on the back of the Gubolai horse, at this moment, Selena hid her body directly at the side of the Gubolai horse, and the big hand of the dark red knight only grabbed Selena's linen skirt.
"Hiss......"
A sound of brocade silk being torn sounded, and a long gray dress was torn off by the dark red knight, revealing half of Selena's snow-white slender big. Legs come.
The dark red knight wanted to catch Selena hidden in the belly of the horse again, but he felt that he was locked by a killing force in front of him, he didn't dare to be distracted to catch Selena anymore, but his eyes fell on Surdak who rushed down from the mountain, and a long-lost pressure slowly grew from his body and mind, looking at the growing phantom behind Surdak.
The Scarlet Knight snorted softly.
Ha!
The speed of the flow of the magic pattern constructing mana increased suddenly, and the momentum of the whole person suddenly increased by a few points......
Surdak on the hillside jumped forward from his horse at this moment, and after soaring into the air and rushing to the highest point, his body curled up like a cannonball and smashed down towards the dark red knight, the dark red knight never thought that the other party was obviously not a constructed knight, but when he was facing himself, his momentum was not weaker than his own at all, not only that, but also extremely confident to use all his strength.
The Scarlet Knight sat up straight, and raised his double-edged broadsword against Surdak who was swooping down, and a faint black cold death aura emanated from the broadsword, and the tip of the Crimson Knight's broadsword burst out into a vortex full of death aura, slashing down at Surdak in mid-air.
When the divine aura gushing out of the Roman sword in Surdak's hand just touched the death breath of the dark red knight, the vortex flowing with the breath of death seemed to melt the ice and snow under the morning sun, and the dark red knight looked at the pale golden sword on the Roman sword with some horror, and no longer dared to have any contempt, and raised the sword with both hands to slash Surdak with a sword to parry.
At this moment, although the divine aura on Surdak's body somewhat restrained the death aura on the dark red knight's body, in terms of strength and combat skills, the dark red knight was obviously much higher than Surdak, and the double-edged broadsword blocked Surdak's sword.
The broadsword in the Scarlet Knight's hand tilted outward, unloading Surdak's momentum to the left side of his body, while turning sideways to avoid Surdak's dive, and just as Surdak and the Scarlet Knight staggered, he drew his sword and slashed at Surdak's waist, trying to cut Surdak at the waist.
Surdak was prepared, and directly swung out the iris shield in one hand, and the shield smashed into the double-edged broadsword and burst into a cloud of silver light.
Shield of Blessings
The Scarlet Knight was almost suffocated by the Surdak shield, and the silver glow seemed to completely dissipate the death aura around him, but Surdak did not connect any means of attack after him, and the Scarlet Knight took advantage of this to take a breather, and he clenched an iron fist and smashed it into the back of Surdak's heart.
At this time, Surdak's fall could not be reversed, all the movements in the air had been completed, and he was unable to resist the heavy punch of the Scarlet Knight.
The dark red knight's fist still had jet-black iron finger covers, and Surdak only had a thin layer of demonic beast leather armor on his body, the dark red knight smashed down with a heavy blow, and the phantom of the double-faced demon god became solid, and one of the arms of the double-faced demon god suddenly became extremely real, and the fists of the two sides collided together, and the condensed arm of the two-faced four-armed demon god was smashed by the dark red knight at once.
The virtual image of the demon god in Surdak's spiritual world is a mutilated arm, and there is a storm in the spiritual sea.
But he completely dodged the punch from the dark red knight, Surdak fell on the slope, and after rolling his body on the slope a few times, he got up from the ground in some embarrassment, at this time the Gubolai horse also ran over, Surdak took the opportunity to turn over and get on the horse, he looked at his Roman sword with an obvious soybean-sized gap, obviously caused by the fight with the dark red knight.
"He's been following you since he entered Mount Paglos...... "Selena whispered to Surdak as she rode around behind him.
Seeing Selena's chapped lips and dusty face, Surdak knew that she must have suffered a lot along the way, and nodded to her slightly, signaling to reassure her.
"You're the one behind the bandits?" Surdak stared at the Crimson Knight in front of him and asked in a deep voice.
The Scarlet Knight didn't even think to say anything to Surdak, what to say to the dying man?
He directly urged the horse to rush over, and slashed several swords towards Surdak one after another, because the double-edged broadsword was heavier than the Roman sword, and the dark red knight completely crushed Surdak in terms of strength, even if Surdak showed his strength, in the face of the dark red knight's continuous slash, he could only barely parry.
The only thing to be thankful for is that when Surdak fought in the Warsaw plane, he was almost always dealing with demons, and the strength and speed of those demons were not weaker than the dark red knights in front of him, and Surdak had always grown up under pressure on the battlefield, so although the strength of the dark red knights was obviously much stronger than Surdak, a set of slashes was blocked back by Surdak.
The dark red knight was secretly surprised in his heart, the knight in front of him was obviously slightly weaker than himself, and he was not wearing a magic pattern structure, but he was able to compete with him head-on, and his body's toughness and will to fight were extremely good.
Surdak's side was not easy either, he had almost exhausted all his strength to block the Scarlet Knight's attack, he couldn't even make a decent counterattack, and his arms were numb and his body was almost exhausted after this group of attacks.
Although the Divine Blessed Body continued to regain its strength, his heart still sank to the bottom.
Unexpectedly, in the face of this dark red knight, he had no chance of winning with his strength.
The biggest problem is that the construction armor on the Scarlet Knight's body is constantly gathering strength to support the Scarlet Knight under the flow of magic.
Moreover, the Scarlet Knight has not shown his strength until now, and it is obvious that he may have felt that there is no need to show his strength in this overwhelming battle.
Surdak regretted a little, when the sacrifice ceremony was just held, he should have taken out two sacrifices, if he had Death Withering and Death Murmur, he might have some chance of winning, but time could not go backwards, and at this time he could only grit his teeth and hold on.
The dark red knight urged the horse to rush up, and it was a continuous attack, Surdak was even more unbearable this time, and was beaten only with the power to parry, the last few rounds of attacks of the dark red knight, Surdak frequently raised his shield to block, fortunately, this iris shield was strong enough to block the last few swords of the dark red knight.
After a round of attacks, the Scarlet Knight always needed time to regain his strength, which also gave Surdak a chance to breathe.
The red sun on the horizon completely sank into the mountains, and the purple sky slowly turned black.
The sky is full of stars, and the sky is moonless.
Mount Paglos was shrouded in darkness, the black armor of the dark red knight and the black horse gradually blended into the night, and the black two-handed broadsword seemed to have no track with every attack, Surdak was already at the end of his powerful crossbow at this moment, and every time he parried, he was almost on the verge of collapse.
Selena realized at this moment that her appearance not only did not help Surdak in any way, but became a drag on him, he could have beaten but could still find a chance to escape, but now that he is here, he has no intention of escaping at all, seeing that he has survived the seven rounds of attacks of the Scarlet Knight, the arm holding the Roman sword can barely be lifted, and the shield on the other arm is also mottled, she doesn't know how long Surdak can survive.
Surdak was indeed exhausted at the moment, and in the face of the attack of the Dark Red Knight, the Divine Blessed Body could not recover enough physical strength in time, but it was in this situation that Surdak found that in such adversity, the nodes in the body that were lit up were constantly lit, and every time the Dark Red Knight attacked, it was like constantly stimulating the potential in his body, from the node being slightly loose, to the faint light to be lit up, and then to the light being completely lit, probably only the Dark Red Knight needed to split three swords.
Although the divine aura emitted by those nodes in the body could not restore Surdak's physical strength, it could produce a healing effect, and the dark wounds cleaved under the double-edged broadsword of the Dark Red Knight were all healed by Surdak's own divine aura......
The lit nodes on Surdak's shoulders are now almost connected into a large area.
The eighth attack of the Scarlet Knight finally left a long wound on Surdak's right arm, and the leather shoulder guard cut by the broadsword stained the entire sleeve red with blood.
Once again, the two were locked in a truce.
Selena, who had been protected by Surdak, ran up at this time, and she looked at Surdak, whose half of her body was stained red with blood, and finally made a difficult decision.
She approached Surdak from behind, leaned over to him and whispered, "That guy should have come to me, I'll lure him away in a moment, and you have to help me take care of Signa." ”
Surdak stretched out his hand and touched her white cheek, and said word by word with great seriousness: "You listen to me, you take care of your daughter, don't give up lightly until the end, as long as there is a chance, I will also take you away." ”
Surdak felt that his tone might be too tough, so he softened and comforted her: "It's getting dark, it's not like we don't have a chance to escape, and when he rushes up again, you can go first......"
"Ahh By the way, it's getting dark......" Selena suddenly seemed to remember something, and she interrupted Surdak's words at once, and said with some excitement. "I seem to be about to forget that I am still the oracle of the goddess of darkness, Celine, and the moonless night is when the goddess of darkness is at its most powerful, and I can still pray to the goddess."
“…… Didn't you say you had been forgotten by the goddess Celine? Surdak asked her suspiciously, the last time she was lying in her arms.
Selena was a little embarrassed, and immediately made a silent gesture to Surdak: "Shh, when the goddess is powerful, she occasionally thinks of me, but at this time I am mostly sleeping, who would pray to her at night......"
After speaking, she suddenly stopped talking, but folded her hands in front of her chest on horseback, closed her eyes and whispered: "Celine, the goddess who rules the darkness, please listen to the call of your believers in time, in this time of danger, I ...... Selena...... Your sincerest believers pray to you......"
Are the prayers of the priests of the Temple of Liberty so long? Surdak complained in his heart.
At this moment, a pillar of dark light suddenly descended, enveloping Selena's body.
