Chapter Eighty-Three: Assassination
"Idiot!"
Frank, who had seen everything clearly, also made the exact same comment as the lich had said, except that no one else would know who he was talking about. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Of course, Frank was not the only one who witnessed everything - it should be said that as the focus of the field for a while, everyone must be paying attention to the competition between Ye Guyun and the lich. At this moment, it seems that the dust has settled, and therefore, inevitably, everyone has shown different reactions to this result.
Weiss frowned, Kent was serious, McCarty and Dirkku looked worried and worried, and Mephis, very decisively, triggered a condensed flame that had been planted with great difficulty to attack the undead knight and then detonate it all!
That's right, it's the powerful move that he used when he competed with Roddick and Ye Guyun in the underground boxing ring before!
In an instant, there was a roar, smoke and dust rolling, and a raging wave of fire! The terrible bombing scene had once again descended!
Mephis, whose face was covered with sweat, took a deep breath, in this suppressed area, all the movements required additional consumption, even if she was as strong as her, it would be unbearable to suddenly trigger the ultimate. Without much pause, she turned to Ye Guyun's direction.
Her idea was to create space by striking the undead knight with a surprise killing move, at least to win the opportunity to use the flame jump, and then with the magic of the flame jump, she quickly rushed to Ye Guyun's side and saved him.
However, just as Mephis took a few steps to pull out the gap and find the right angle to perform the fire jump, she was stunned to find that the space around her had been completely blocked!
The danger signal filled his heart, and he turned his head sharply, and found that the undead knight, bathed in the sea of fire, was extremely broken, holding its rune sword alof, and the sword body was dark, and the runes were clearly visible, shining all around. At the same time, strands of black mist followed the inexplicable summons and rushed towards the sword body from all directions, but in the blink of an eye, it condensed into a dark cloud!
"This... It's frantically pumping out the negative energy that fills the space around it!"
What's even more terrifying is that, judging from the fact that the energy is only accumulating on the sword body and constantly brewing, the undead knight is clearly not going to use it to repair the broken body, but to use himself as a tool to convert this surging energy into an unimaginable fatal blow!
"Impulsive...... Miscalculated!"
Mephis locked her eyebrows, she knew that this time she had to try her best to resist this only option, and she didn't say a word, silently sorting out the divine power in her body, and trying to mobilize the fire element that was seriously suppressed nearby, she wanted to lay a thick flame shield in front of her, she didn't know if she could block the upcoming annihilation blow, she only knew that she couldn't sit still.
............
In the distance, the lich watched with pleasure. After a few dark healing techniques were released, the various fractures on the body were finally repaired, and the shocked bastard martial artist next to him had at least a short time to be freed, and it had enough time to finish some more trivial tasks. Of course, the bastard warrior can't wait for that time, and after watching how the undead knight tortures and kills the Vulcan warrior monk, it will put an end to it with its own hands, and then brew it into another interesting experiment of its own.
For no apparent reason, the lich felt a palpitation, turned his head to look at the "statue" next to him, and unconsciously moved a few more steps, touching the only ring on the bone claw that still emitted aura, and it settled down again. As if self-deprecating, it looked at the center of the battle group again, at the beautiful figure that was still ready to resist, and the two stars in its eyes jumped lively:
"Oh, ridiculous!"
Maybe it's herself, or maybe it's the stubborn pink hair.
............
Kent was in a hurry, he couldn't have been unaware of Mephis's trouble, he knew even better that this trouble was a big breakthrough! Nine times out of ten, Mephis couldn't take this big move that the undead knight was about to send! The energy condensed on the rune sword was too huge, and its terrifying aura could be truly felt from a long distance!
That's at least the destructive power to flatten a mountain!
Kent concluded that even a legendary-level powerhouse would be difficult to beat him, and Mephis, probably to this extent. The situation she is facing, to say ugly words, is full of danger, and there are many bad luck......
In order to protect the goddess in his heart, Kent did not hesitate to spare no effort to muster the strength of his whole body, picked up the two-handed sword in his hand, and swung his own housekeeping stunt, an incomparably brilliant Holy Cross slash!
Whoa!
The two intersecting golden swords glowing with a majestic divine aura pushed into the distance, whether intentionally or not, as long as the monsters in front of them all turned into piles of broken wreckage under this magnificent blow!
A road has been swept out!
Kent didn't bother to check the results, and he didn't even adjust his posture immediately, he stepped out with both feet, and immediately rushed in the direction of Mephis.
Rao is Kent reacts quickly, and he can't compare to the undead knight who only needs to swing his sword and press down. The latter will not have the infinite death mode of pretending to slap his face and show off his might before killing the opponent, and when the time comes, he will decisively slash the rune sword in his hand diagonally.
Swish~~!
A short burst of air resounded throughout the audience!
The already gloomy environment was even darker, and the flames around the undead knight that were still hunting and burning a second ago were extinguished in an instant, and in front of it, a huge shadow that seemed to be able to devour everything rushed towards its prey like a hungry beast!
It's like a black cloud covering the top, like a landslide and the ground cracking, like a stormy wave, anyway...... Anyway, Mephis only saw an overwhelming cloud of dark energy rushing in! She took a deep breath, and then summoned all the power she could use, condensing a flame shield that was as thick as possible, covering all directions of her body.
To be sure, the flame shield that Mephis had condensed with all his might was quite solid and unbreakable, but it was not a problem to resist a deadly blow from an opponent of the same level. In a less extreme situation, it can definitely be used as a life-saving move at the bottom of the box.
But now, in the face of this blow that has been pressed in front of him, using special conditions to create a power like heaven and earth, the flame shield is really powerless. It didn't last long for the flame shield to crumble and dissipate, and Mephis collapsed with it.
Just as she was about to close her eyes and wait for death, a golden pillar of light pierced through the thick layer of negative energy and fell straight down from the top, enveloping her in a comprehensive way!
The pillar of light undoubtedly possessed a powerful power that was at least not inferior to the surging dark energy, and when the two collided, the dark energy was like a wave crashing against a boulder on the shore, and it was helpless to separate to the left and right, until it finally disappeared......
Well, Kent arrived in time!
Kent used up the only priceless one-time consumable trinket, a small brooch made of Mithril in the shape of the emblem of the Lord of the Dawn, Losanda, and containing a low-ranking but powerful magic that could be compared to a scoundrel.
"Sanctuary Technique"
Renders self or the target invincible by Sanctuary for a short period of time, immune to all damage and debuffs, until the spell time runs out, or the protected person performs any hostile actions.
A holy warrior is a holy warrior, and there will always be some turtle-oriented magical abilities on his body.
Before Kent could breathe a sigh of relief, he was shocked to find that as if premeditated, a vague figure appeared behind the pink-haired woman who was struggling to get up from the ground just as the Sanctuary dissipated!
The figure held a short sword in both hands, raised it high, and was about to stab Mephis in the back!
"Be careful!"
Kent shouted a warning, but he knew that warning alone was not enough, so he leaped for life and lunged at the unknown assassin. Still thinking it was too late, in mid-air, Kent threw the two-handed sword in his hand again!
Perhaps it was the two-handed sword that flew in, or perhaps it was Kent's warning that the short sword stabbed by the unknown assassin did not hit Mephis's back, and the latter's vicious backstab only cut her right arm.
The unknown assassin wanted to continue the attack, but he was knocked down by the pounced Kent, and he was hit with two heavy punches.
The assassination seemed to have failed, just-
Another figure emerges! Another dagger raised! But the target is no longer Mephis!
Poof!!
Uh~!!...... Yes!... Yes...
The dagger pierced deep into Kent's back!
Fatal Blow!
Kent could clearly feel that the short sword that pierced his heart and lungs was accompanied by an extremely damaging curse, and an evil blasphemous force spread out, eroding his body almost instantly, and this time, I am afraid that even the costly resurrection technique could not be saved...... He struggled to turn his head, trying to make out the appearance of the assassin who represented death coming to take his life, but ...... It didn't work out. Raising his hand sharply, the latter drew his short sword especially rudely!
Belch~!......
Blood gushes out.
The assassin didn't care, but made an expression of enjoyment with his eyes closed, and when he opened his eyes, he kicked the paladin away, and then complained with disgust: "Tsk!
Turning his head, he ostentatiously said to his partner who got up: "Veri, you still can't do it without me!"
"Alright, alright," Verry was very helpless, "you are the strongest, the most capable, much more powerful than me, okay? Verari, let's finish the mission first!"
"I don't need such a perfunctory confession!" Verari muttered dissatisfiedly, but following his companion's advice, he turned around, raised his sword, and pressed Malice towards Mephis.
Mephis was already wounded, her right arm had been cut by the dagger, the wound was wide open, and she was dripping with blood, and, it was quite reasonable, what kind of curse Kent had received, so the right half of her body had no longer obeyed the call, and in terms of combat effectiveness, it had really been reduced to a terrible level, but at this moment there were two strong enemies on the opposite side approaching......
Compared to himself, Mephis was more concerned about Kent, who was lying a few yards away with a sword in his back, and he had suffered such a blow in order to save himself, and when he thought of this, Mephes couldn't help but be in a trance......
Verry and Verari approached Mephis's side and were about to attack.
"The famous "Flame Fist" Mephis, I'm going to fall today~!" Verari frivolously scanned Mephis's whole body up and down, licked his lips, and showed a fang, "It's a pity that it's such a stunner!"
"Verari, I think you should still show the most basic respect for a strong man. Verry said calmly.
"Respect?" Verari slapped the short sword in his hand, the corners of his mouth pulled high, and his expression was very obscene, "In the end, you didn't want me to carry a long, thick thing and stab her body!"
Stunned, Verry smiled wryly, then shook his head, he no longer replied in vain, but bowed down to the pink-haired girl who looked like a wounded beast, and then greeted his partner: "Come on." ”
Raising their swords at the same time, and at the same time, Verry and Villari tacitly attacked Mephis. They took a straight line, and did not divide into one left and one right, and they decided that the most that Mephes could do now, at best, was a useless struggle, and that together they could easily clean up everything, so they could willfully give up a little bit of security in pursuit of greater efficiency.
It was precisely because of this occasional willfulness that they failed to succeed.
Rumble~~~!
A heavy shield flew at an alarming speed, and it flew in quick succession with a sharp and undeniable blow, and the two were like pins hit by a bowling ball, and they could only fly upside down with the force and then pounce on the street.
After blasting off the target, the heavy shield didn't fly far, it hovered in mid-air, spun for weeks, and flew back into its owner's hands.
Verari, who had fallen into the mud, braced himself up suddenly, slapped the ground, and roared angrily: "Which bastard did it?! Can't you let me kill someone well? Who will be responsible for any deviation in the future? Isn't there no humanity in the dragon set? The basic law must also be taught in stealing the show!!"
A figure dressed in gorgeous armor broke into Verari's field of vision, and the show-stealer, uh, should have arrived in time for help, it was none other than Vess, who had been deeply entangled!
