Chapter 366: The Holy Light of Destruction
The west gate of the Lion City opened.
Outside the city gate is a sea of black and oppressive undead.
Behind him, there are brothers with complicated expressions.
"Don't go out of town!"
Leon didn't shout a few high-sounding slogans before rushing out to die like the legendary heroes who sacrificed their lives......
I don't have that time......
He gave only one last order, and then rode the comet horse straight into the Sea of the Dead.
Just like Vendatil did when he charged in the village of Kwyn, he burst out with all his abilities and sliced a bloody path out of the seemingly endless walking dead.
But Leon didn't have the strength of Vendatil, he couldn't walk all the way in a straight line, and could only rely on his powerful perception to find a way through the gaps of the undead to the distance.
As soon as they burst out of the city gates, the Silver Hand and the Noldor Guards pressed out of the gates along with Leon's flanks, and the Silver Mist Ranger on the city walls was also firing arrows with all their might.
The brothers were trying to provide as much cover as possible for Leon, clearing the undead near the gates and creating a temporary space for Leon to pick up speed.
No one is talking nonsense, and no one is pretentious.
Even though Wendy had tears in her eyes, she only followed Leon in silence, trying to keep up with Leon's footsteps.
But the cover the brethren could provide was limited to the range of the Lion City.
There were too many undead, and although they were able to temporarily clear a small gap and allow Leon to speed up, the walking dead quickly re-surrounded Lion City, and it was difficult for the brothers to break out.
The undead outside the city are all corrupt corpses, and they are not warriors, they can't take the Lion City, but they can trap the vast majority of the warriors in the Lion City inside the city - the comet horse is just such a horse, and it can't be rushed out on an ordinary horse.
The comet horse is a rare xenbred horse, which is basically bred by pure luck, it is an extremely fast racing horse, which is not very enduror, but it is extremely explosive, and no one can keep up with it after running.
It is only by relying on the explosive power and flexibility of the comet horse, coupled with Leon's powerful perception ability, that he can raise his speed before the undead reunite, and find a gap in the sea of the undead that can be rushed out.
Wendy rode Leon's Alice and lost speed after only a hundred meters behind Leon, and the undead surrounded him again.
She could only retreat to the Lion City with the guards at the invitation of Klose, and ran up the city walls, watching Leon's back go away with tears in her eyes.
Leon had already pulled the comet out of top speed, out of range of the city walls, and headed straight west with the severed limbs along the way.
The farther you go, the more room you can move and the faster you go.
After a short time, Leon's figure gradually disappeared into the night.
Only the red light from Azi Dahaka's body was still conspicuous, guiding everyone's gaze - it was originally golden, but it was red by the blood on its body.
The red light traveled westward, miles away.
Soon after, in the western wilderness, the red light became brighter and brighter, gradually glowing orange and gold......
Eventually, the golden light turned blazing white and expanded instantly, filling the entire heaven and earth at once......
"Hide under the walls!"
Wendy shouted, turned around and jumped off the walls into the city.
……
Seriously, carrying an explosive bag to rush into battle, Li Ang really didn't want to do it.
But the problem is that there is no other way now...... This thing is counting down all the time, and it has to rely on its own blood......
Throw Azi Dahaka out with the fastest horse, and maybe there will be a chance of survival.
Leon didn't plan to take Az Dahaka with him until it exploded, he wanted to find an opportunity to jump off his horse in a place where there were not many undead after rushing out of the Sea of the Undead, and let the comet horse carry Azdahaka on his back.
- Holding the explosives pack doesn't necessarily mean that it will explode with the explosives pack, what if you have a chance to survive......
He knew that the person controlling the undead must be nearby, maybe it was Kavala himself, who must be behind the Sea of the Undead, and it was most likely to appear to the west of the Lion City—Kavala had gone to the bridgehead to the west before.
It's best to have the Comet Horse run into Kavala's troops and return the explosives pack to him......
If not, at least let the comet horse carry Azi Dahaka away, as far away from himself and the Lion City as possible.
Right now, Leon had been away from Lion City for several miles, and the comet horse was already panting, and the horse's neck was beginning to sweat.
Leon mutilated himself again with a sword, smearing the blood on Azdahaka's body.
He himself was gasping for breath - bleeding all the way, losing a lot of blood and a little deprived of oxygen.
At this time, he noticed that about two miles ahead, there seemed to be a troop?
Is that Kavala?
Whoever he is...... Anyway, it's definitely not friendly forces that are appearing in this place now!
Moreover, I can't run anymore, and if I run again, I will lose too much blood and die, and my eyes will start to turn black, and I really can't bear it.
That's it......
"Sorry......"
Seeing that there were no more undead around, Leon adjusted his direction, patted the horse on the neck and apologized to the comet horse, and then stabbed the horse in the ass with a sword, and flew down from the horse's back.
The horse was in pain, neighed and picked up its speed again, and ran away as fast as it could.
After Li Ang landed, he rolled for twenty or thirty meters with his head in his hands, and finally hit a tree before stopping.
The speed of the comet horse was too fast, and Leon jumped off the horse in the gallop, and jumped down when he had lost too much blood and lack of oxygen, of course, it was impossible to be unscathed.
Although he had been prepared, and after landing, he also took the initiative to roll over the vital point to try to reduce the damage, but he was still half dead.
It is estimated that it is a fracture, and the left hand can no longer be lifted anyway.
The head was also very painful and dizzy, probably due to excessive blood loss and concussion......
Leon propped himself up, leaned his back against the tree, and looked back at the comet horse running away, and also watched the light on Azi Dahaka's body grow brighter and brighter.
In fact, he didn't need to look to detect the direction of the comet horse, and it was basically running towards the army two miles away.
At this moment, Leon felt a strange and powerful chill pierce his head.
He quickly retracted his head - most likely Azi Dahaka had been detonated!
Now the horse is only 800 meters away from him at most, which is probably not safe enough......
It seems that he may be more than lucky......
Leon's feeling was very accurate, this distance was really not enough, he only had time to do the final mental construction for himself, and curled up his body behind the tree as much as possible.
The comet horse was still galloping, and Azz Dahaka on horseback had completely turned into a blazing white mass.
The actual color of the white light should still be golden, but it is too strong and looks whitish.
Then, the golden light bloomed, and in an instant, it spread several miles away, and the whole world became a white expanse.
At the same time as the blazing light lit up, Leon's eyes went black and he lost consciousness.
……
People who are targeted by God are generally unlucky.
For example, Leon.
From being chased and killed, to being chased by ghosts, to being struck by lightning, now I actually have to try for myself what it is like to be blown up by a magic weapon that once destroyed the continent......
The peaceful days have not passed for a few days, but the days of death and life have continued.
Leon's comrade-in-arms and friend Sir Roland was also a tragic man.
As a paladin with an oracle, he has never enjoyed any benefits in his life, but has been hunted down and killed, and has spent his life fighting all kinds of evil things.
From bandits and bandits, to heretical cults, to abyss demons, and now they have to fight a large number of undead to the death.
But usually, such people are also the most determined.
If faith and will are a little worse, I am afraid that I will not be able to bear the tribulations of this life.
But now, as one of the witnesses to the detonation of Azz Dahaka in the Lion City, for the first time in his life, Sir Roland had a different view of gods and magic.
When Azdahaka detonated, there was no movement of the earth shaking the mountains, no violent sound, only a blazing light that swept across the land, illuminating the night as if it were day.
Sir Roland, on the other hand, had seen that golden light several times, both in reality and in dreams.
That's the color that is commonly used in the Temple of Justice, and that's what the sun looks like when it hits the Temple of Justice.
At the same time, Roland clearly remembered that when the goddess spoke to herself in her dreams, she always had such light on her body.
Roland could even see the actual function of this light from the undead outside the city - most of the undead outside the city were rotten, but after being swept away by this golden light, their originally rotten bodies turned alive!
The rotten flesh that was rotten and full of maggots turned into fresh meat under this light!
The decayed bones have also become white again......
These spirits, who have been dead for a long time, look like they have come back to life!
Or rather, it looks like when they just died - they didn't really come to life, they didn't become conscious, they were still undead, just a lot 'fresher', and some of the open wounds on their bodies were even closed.
This kind of magic, or magic spell, should have been used to save the dead and help the wounded!
Roland was the only one here who knew that Kavala had become a god, and he knew that Kavala was the controller of the Serpent Cult and that the Serpent Cult was creating Az Dahaka.
But Roland didn't expect that the ugly thing like Azi Dahaka could even make rotten flesh fresh and even rotten bones moisturized again......
If it hadn't been made into a world-destroying weapon, this magic would have been able to restore any wounded...... It can even bring the dead back to life!
If it had been before, Roland would have thought it was the Holy Light—the kind of magic that the legendary goddess of justice had mastered to save lives and help the wounded.
But this kind of magic was triggered by Azi Dahaka, and it appeared in a posture of destroying the world.
The places that were swept by the golden light were all different.
Or rather, it's all the opposite.
The undead who were originally slow to move all became alive, and their combat power increased several times.
There was no longer any sound of birds and beasts outside the city.
And in the Lion City, everyone who directly touched the golden light also fell without exception.
Their bodies were intact, without any scars, and even the injuries they had suffered had healed, but they ...... He's dead.
Died silently.
Luckily, Wendy reminded me that most people had escaped the light that swept through everything under the cover of the city walls.
In Lion City, most people survived.
But outside the city...... Nothing can obscure that sweeping light, not even the size of the tree.
And, although the trees outside the city looked greener than ever, Roland could sense that those trees were probably dead as well......
It can heal everything, even revive rotting flesh and dead wood, but it also takes the souls of all living beings......
Is this the magic of destroying the world?
Resurrect the dead, let the living die?
Is the ultimate in life death?
Roland didn't know.
But he now at least knows that there is no good or evil in the magic itself, and it is human beings who have good and evil.
This kind of incomparably decent 'healing technique' can destroy the world if used to the extreme.
Moreover, the people who use it, namely Kavala, probably never thought of using it to heal injuries and save people.
If Kavala were allowed to continue like this, how many killings would he make? How many people can be left on the earth?
Why are they all thinking only about how to destroy?
Even Asterya always allowed herself to purge herself of evil and cause killing.
On the contrary, it was only after meeting Li Ang that he realized that he should bring hope to people in life, so that people have a hope in their hearts, and justice will remain in people's hearts.
But will Leon survive?
Roland looked up into the distance and muttered, "Leon, are you still alive?" ”
Wendy doesn't have as much sentimentality as Roland, she just wants to get Leon back as soon as possible - dead or alive.
Leon was struck by lightning, but came back, and Wendy felt that Leon might be saved.
But the problem is that now the undead outside the city have become very spiritual, and their combat power has increased at least several times, and no one in the entire Lion City can leave the city.
……
"Is he still alive?"
At the place where Leon fell, a large man in heavy armor asked.
He looked at Leon, who was uninjured all over his body, but had not awakened like a dead man, and helped him up from under the tree: "He looks abnormal......
"Of course not...... Won the 'Holy Light'...... He has lost his soul. ”
A woman on a horse said lightly.
The horse, it seems, is the Noldor Elf Horse.
But this woman is not a Noldor elf.
"Then why are our souls still there?"
The big man asked again.
He had a bunch of big guys, all of whom looked like they were from Mettenheim.
"Don't you realize...... Under the light, the living will die, and the dead will live...... This is the ultimate weapon to turn the tide of battle! ”
She said to the big guys behind her.
"We ...... That's right...... We were already dead...... I've been forgetting that. ”
The big man muttered.
"Let's go...... Let's get out of here. ”
The woman spoke, and drove her horse to leave.
"Maltis, aren't you going to look for Aziz Dahaka?"
The heavily armored Mertenheim asked.
"We've found it...... That was Azi Dahaka. Head Heinrich, from now on you are free, and you can go wherever you want. ”
Maltis glanced at Leon on the ground, turned around to leave, but suddenly looked back again: "That's not right...... Give him to me, he does not look normal. ”
