Chapter 303, Loyal Knight.
The shadows shuttled back and forth, and a dozen phantoms slowly advanced.
The headless horseman caught in the middle had already done his best, but unfortunately he couldn't hurt the other party in the slightest.
The Shadow Demon Lord, who is constantly shifting between the virtual and the real, is also controlling all the phantoms to interfere with the Headless Horseman's attention all the time.
The exact same footsteps, the exact same breath, plus the sound of sound everywhere.
The headless horseman, who was already scarred, couldn't even escape from the other party's encirclement.
Looking at a phantom in front of him swinging his sword, the Headless Horseman instinctively raised his sword to block, but he didn't want the opponent's blade to turn from solid to void, and passed through the blade he raised.
In the rear, the sharp sword that had been stabbed out turned into a physical entity in an instant, and a bloody hole was opened in the headless horseman's body.
The soul ghost fire in the body of the headless horseman who was attacked trembled violently, and while swinging the sword with one hand, the other hand suddenly slammed sideways.
The armor-clad elbow stabbed out like a cannonball, and the Shadow Demon Lord who had just transferred over was caught off guard and hit directly.
He didn't even have time to become illusory, and was directly pushed to his chest by this elbow, and the whole person flew upside down.
Looking at the Shadow Demon Lord who fell to the ground, the Headless Horseman slowly lowered his blade, and there was a hint of coldness in his tone.
"The ability is a good ability, but unfortunately the user is not a good fighter, and your combat experience is too lacking."
"You!"
The Shadow Demon Lord, who didn't know where he was exposed, quickly slapped the ground and got up, and the moment he got up, he turned into a phantom again.
The Headless Horseman, who was standing in the encirclement of the opponent, did not move, but only threw an elbow with great skill while dodging the attack sideways.
The Shadow Demon Lord, who had just been transformed, was hit in the cheek by him again, staggering backwards and shifting positions.
It's just that as soon as his side activated his ability, the Headless Horseman had already burst out from the spot, and the giant sword in his hand suddenly swept out.
"Second on the right!"
Poof!
The swinging weapon swept directly into the waist of the Shadow Demon Lord who appeared, bringing up a large black mist.
The Shadow Demon Lord, who snorted, hurriedly changed his position again.
But before he could stand firm, a cold voice sounded in his ears again.
"The seventh on the right!"
The giant sword stabbed directly, and this time the Shadow Demon Lord reacted extremely quickly, and before the attack fell, he once again used the domain to change direction.
But no sooner had he appeared, and the silver greatsword had fallen from the sky, slashing at his shoulder.
This blow was so powerful that the Shadow Demon Lord who didn't have time to hide in the realm of virtual reality screamed directly, and the one knee that was cut off fell to his knees.
Looking at the Shadow Demon Lord who was forcibly suppressed by himself, the Headless Horseman held a giant sword in his hand, and his body was covered in black mist.
"Your actions are traceable! Your teleportation is sluggish and rigid! I've figured out the instinct of your transformation! Idiot! ”
The Shadow Demon Lord, who was holding the giant sword in both hands, turned into a phantom again when he heard the words.
The greatsword fell from the phantom and smashed directly into the ground.
The Headless Horseman, who watched the enemy disappear, did not feel any nervousness, but slammed his sword backwards with one hand.
A silver-white cold light flashed in midair, and the Shadow Demon Lord who had just appeared only felt a chill on his neck, and his head had been swept off by this sword.
Turn around! Side kick!
The Shadow Lord's headless body flew upside down, and when it landed, the black mist filled the air, and the detached head had recovered.
However, several heavy injuries in a row have already consumed him a lot, especially the sword has the power of curse, which is frantically destroying his soul, causing his combat power to be greatly damaged in a short period of time.
Before the fallen Shadow Lord could get up, the Headless Horsemann had already stepped forward, stomping on his chest, pointing his sword in both hands at his forehead.
"I won! Guess it, you'll come from behind me! Greedy for life and afraid of the dead! Never dare to appear in front of a strong enemy! ”
The Shadow Demon Lord, who originally wanted to struggle, looked at the other party who was also scarred and had blood holes all over his body, raised his head and fell suddenly, looked up at the sky and sighed.
"Yes, Lord Headless Horseman, welcome to you, you won, you have successfully defeated me, a life-hungry waste, but what is the use? There are tens of thousands of them in this city! How many more can you win? How many more can you kill? ”
The headless horseman with the blade in his hand replied without hesitation.
"If you can kill one, count it as one!"
"You can't win!"
"Nope! From the moment I came to avenge my general! As a soldier, I've already won! ”
Looking at the Shadow Demon Lord lying at his feet, the Headless Horseman slowly withdrew his blade and turned around and walked towards the end of the alley.
Seeing this, the Shadow Demon Lord struggled to his feet and shouted at the back of the Headless Horseman.
"Let's go! Even the gods have lost! What do you think you can accomplish? What can you do! ”
"There's only one thing I can accomplish! Faithful! ”
Footsteps rang out, and the Headless Horsemann disappeared from view.
The Shadow Lord sat down against the wall, feeling the power of the curse wrapped around his body that could not be dispelled, and he couldn't help but shake his head.
That sword was very strong, and the power of the curse on it was beyond even the lord's strength.
I'm afraid this thing is made from the remains of demigods or even mutilated souls!
But what's the use of that? Having already joined the Gu Erdan force and personally felt how terrifying this force was, he would never think that a demigod blade could complete the assassination.
Whether that guy can even get close is a question!
"Foolish fool ............"
Holding his wound and slowly standing up, the Shadow Demon Lord gritted his teeth and limped into the distance.
He didn't go to ventilation insurance because it was of no use and there was no need for it.
With just one lord, he doesn't even have the qualifications to walk in front of the Bone King, and even if he does, it is impossible to complete any assassination under the protection of a group of demigods and lords.
From the very beginning, there was no suspense in this assassination.
This is not even an assassination at all, it can only be said to be a death hunt, a soldier ready to defend his last glory with his life.
A glory that no one cares about but himself.
And the only thing Shadow Fiend can do for him is silence.
At the same time, in front of the vast hall, a sea of people had already gathered here.
The congratulatory gifts next to it are piled up, and the big and small lords have also gathered.
Looking at the patrol Praetorian Guards passing ahead, the headless horsemen gathered together were silent for a few seconds.
One of them suddenly whispered.
"Miss, why hasn't the general come yet? We're going to send a congratulatory gift soon, if he doesn't arrive in time............"
Oriana, the king of the headless horsemen who took the lead, interrupted coldly when she heard this.
"Then let's do it ourselves."
"But without that magic weapon, I'm afraid ............"
"Afraid of what? From the moment we stepped here, we were already going to die, and we were not even afraid of death, what are you afraid of? ”
“…………”
Looking at the headless horsemen who had fallen silent all around, Oriana's tone grew cold.
"Do you think it's nice here? Do you think this is a place where you can show your bravery and loyalty? But don't forget, we're the Headless Horsemann! We are soldiers! The most loyal warrior among the undead! If you don't even have loyalty! So what's the point of the existence of soldiers! ”
The Headless Horsemen were silent again.
The Headless Horseman, known as the high-ranking undead of the Grim Reaper's direct unit, is equally famous for their terrifying appearance and strength, as well as their efficient mission execution rate and fierce loyalty without fear of death.
No one will refuse the allegiance of a Headless Horsemann, as it means that you have one more person to trust.
After all, Gu Erdan still hadn't had much contact with high-level undead, and he didn't understand the various characteristics of high-level undead.
He had only heard of the Headless Horseman's loyalty, but he had forgotten one thing.
That was the army of the Headless Horsemen, who had never sworn allegiance to him from the beginning to the end.
Their loyalty, from the very beginning, was not delivered into his hands.
