The flowing black qi converged on the stone statue's chest, and as the stone skin peeled off, a tall knight in dark silver armor was revealed.

It was six meters tall when it got up, a cut taller than the previous pure-blooded knight of the Holy Tree, and under the helmet was a visor carved with a ghost face, giving people a sense of unevenness in the combination of hideous cruelty and solemnity, but it was inexplicably harmonious.

The blood-red spiral spear was pulled out of the gargoyle's chest, and the flowing black qi had been condensed into aggregated black flesh at this moment, forming a structure similar to a sword lattice and sword hilt at the end of the spiral spear, and the hand covered by the gargoyle's dark silver armarmor was held in his hand.

The blood-red spiral spear has instead become an alternative weapon in the hands of the Gargoyle.

The strong sense of oppression formed a fierce wind visible to the naked eye, blowing Leo's hair and robe.

High in the sky, the gray mist rolls up, and the dappled light and shadow shine on the open space in front of the church in the forest, as if forming another world.

A dry leaf fell from between the branches and leaves, swirling in the breeze, and landed in the small pond that had gathered in the low-lying part of the tree, causing ripples and shattering the complete reflection of the Gargoyle.

"Winter!"

With a loud bang, the invisible shock spread in all directions, and a huge depression with a diameter of three meters instantly appeared on the solid ground, and the terrifying spiderweb-like cracks spread outward for more than ten meters.

Under the effect of the violent countershock, the burly and majestic body of the Gargoyle instantly disappeared in place, and before even a blink of an eye had passed, it appeared in front of Leo, and the weapon composed of blood-red spiral spears in his hand smashed down, shattering the air, and a circle of white qi appeared.

"Bell—"

In the strong metal buzzing sound, Leo's sword-holding hands were numb, and the defensive posture was directly broken, and the unmatched force pushed his body backwards to fly backwards for a hundred meters, breaking several hundred-meter giant trees with a radius of several meters before barely stopping the upside-down flying momentum.

In the midst of the billowing smoke and fallen leaves, the blood-red spiral spear in the gargoyle's hand, no, it should be said that it was the blood-red spiral greatsword now, and the pitch-black flames burned and spread to the surface of the gargoyle's body, causing a layer of black flame to appear on the surface of its body.

"Boom!"

The gargoyle-chandel exerted both feet at the same time, and his heavy body jumped high, and the place where he landed was where Leo was in the smoke and dust.

The wind swept away, blowing away the smoke and dust in the sky, and the Gargoyle Knight fell like a black-red meteorite.

"Boom—"

The earth with a radius of more than twenty meters instantly cracked and sank, and under the blood-red spiral greatsword was a long sword intertwined with pure blue and transparent.

The sword body of Sen Leng reflects the pure and transparent Tong hole in the center of Leo and the pure green on the periphery.

Looking at the ghost armor on the face of the gargoylemen, who were less than three meters away, Leo's heart was like an ice lake, and he was not shocked.

The Gargoyle's strength was stronger than he expected, and with his pure wind attribute magic power posture, he was not an enemy at all.

Right now, the magic power in his body is intertwined with the sword intent, and he has transformed and sublimated into the "power of transcendence", and he has entered the [transcendence state].

The majestic transcendent power surged through his body, making his strength and physique stronger and stronger, and he was qualified to compete head-on with the Gargoyle.

The light-chasing longsword deflected, directing the blood-red spiral greatsword to the side, and the blades collided with the blades, pulling out a violent spark.

The sword was withdrawn, and after a negligible charge time, it slashed again.

"Mystery Sword Technique: Ring Break!"

A circle of two-colored intertwined ring sword qi spread, sweeping towards the body of the gargoyle knight at an extreme speed far beyond the speed of sound.

"Buzz ......"

The indescribable concussive force began to spread from the point of contact between the sword qi and the gargoyle, and in an instant, it brushed through the gargoyle's body, causing his body to freeze, and then, under the impetus of the circular sword qi, it flew backwards upside down.

The ring-shaped sword qi dissipated when it spread to about twenty meters, turning into dots of debris, a scene that was extremely beautiful when viewed from a distance.

And in the center of the scattered star-dotted debris, the transcendent power surging around Leo further condensed, and on the outside, the halo on his body condensed inward.

In the next second, when the gargoyle's body was still flying upside down, the light-chasing sword in his hand slashed out again.

"Ukai Sword Technique: Wind Food & Lan Feng!"

Dozens or hundreds of sword seeds that had been secretly planted in the first confrontation bloomed at this moment, and countless threads of sword intent crisscrossed and criss-crossed, forcibly halting the body of the gargoyle knight flying upside down, and pulled towards Leo's position, at the same time, Leo's body turned into a cyan streamer, breaking through the layers of sonic booms, and sprinting forward.

One was pulled backwards, the other took the initiative to move forward, and the distance between the two sides was smoothed out in less than 0.1 seconds, and the two-colored, extremely sharp sword slashed into the neck of the Gargoyle Knight.

"Qiang—"

The touch of the blade fed back made Leo's childlike hole shrink slightly, and he retreated without hesitation, and the next moment his body retreated, a long needle of flesh and blood with a whole body broke through the ground, leaving a terrifying black trail in the air wherever it passed, as if the air had been corroded.

The Gargoyle Knight pulled out the blood-red spiral greatsword that pierced the ground, and the black flesh needle from before was exactly what it sent out with the blood-red spiral greatsword.

On its neck, the nail of its raised left arm was covered in cracks, and then it turned into fine powder and fell, revealing a muscular arm full of black veins.

On the back of his palm, a wound cut by a sharp sword was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, it was back to normal.

"Thorny ......"

The blood-red spiral greatsword was pulled out of the ground by the Gargoyle, and in the surging black flames, the armor on the Gargoyle's body began to melt, turning into a dark silver stream and dripping down, corroding one small hole after another in the ground.

In the rising steam, the majestic body under the armor of the stone knight was completely revealed.

Unlike the Sacred Tree Knight and the Sacred Tree Pure-Blood Knight, who seem to be burly but are actually supported by a skeleton and have shriveled and withered muscles, the body under the armor of the Gargoyle Knight is inlaid with exaggerated muscles that are almost perfect, and the black blood vessels crawling all over the body are like a strange pattern, which makes people feel dizzy at first sight.

Compared with others, Leo has a deep understanding of distortion.

Therefore, he knew the reason why the muscles of the Sacred Tree Knight and the Pure-Blood Knight of the Holy Tree were shriveled and withered - their souls were completely eroded by aberration, and the soul and body were one and the same, and the long-term soul distortion reacted on the physical body, causing the body to be strongly corroded, and finally became like this.

And the Gargoyle's still full muscles show that although the Gargoyle has been eroded by distortion, its soul has not been completely impregnated, and its consciousness is still remnant, even if it is only so insignificant.

I don't know how many years I have been in the [Inner Perimeter of the Sacred Tree] in the environment polluted by moderate intensity distortion, and I still have the residual consciousness, what a terrifying thing.

The special passive skill [New Fire Mark] obtained by the Fire Contractor after being promoted to the Second Order can only reduce the distortion erosion suffered by the Second Rank Fire Contractor within 24 hours to the limit that can be removed.

The soul of the Gargoyle is incredibly tough......

But sometimes, being alive is something that is countless times more painful than dying.

What is it that makes it willing to endure endless torment and pain day and night than to lose this remnant of consciousness?

Is it faith? Or is there something in its heart that it would rather endure this endless suffering than accomplish?

Leo didn't know.

But in his heart, he had an admiration for the Gargoyle Knight.

It was precisely because he had felt the despair of sinking into darkness that he understood more than ever how difficult it was for the Gargoyle to do this.

Changing places, Leo was not confident that he could hold on to such a point.

"Unknown knight, ......"

Eighty meters away, Leo pointed his long sword at the ground, he looked at the knight who was slowly walking out of the steam in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "Let me take over your long-cherished wish." ”

"Buzz ......"

The colorless flame is ignited, and that is a manifestation of the burning soul.

"Royal Swordsmanship, Fifth Sword Technique, Sword Momentum, Sunlight!"

Open!

While his soul is burning, Leo's maximum mana value has been increased from 19,998 to 39,996, and his sword intent strength has been increased from 691.2 to 999.

Leo's gaze swept over the character panel, and he stayed on the 999-point strength sword intent for a moment, but at this moment, he didn't bother to pay too much attention to it.

With the blessing of the transcendent power composed of extremely powerful magic power and sword intent, the aura on Leo's body continued to rise, and soon, he surpassed the high level of demigods and approached the limit of demigods.

The two-colored sword was raised, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at the gargoyle on the opposite side, Leo leaned forward slightly, and at the same time, the scarlet eyes on the gargoyleon's visor holding the blood-red spiral greatsword also looked directly at Leo.

The next moment.

The bodies of both disappeared into mid-air at the same time.

"Bell!"

A metal explosion sounded in midair, and before it could dissipate, the collision occurred again.

From a distance, one after another diffuse shock waves exploded in mid-air, and with a ferocious force, the surrounding hundred-meter giant trees were bent vigorously.

"Qiang—"

Leo's light-chasing sword in his hand started talking from the bottom up, colliding with the blood-red spiral greatsword that the gargoyle knight slashed down.

Obviously, the bottom-up slash is weaker than the top-down slash, but the result of the collision is the blood-red spiral greatsword in the Gargoyle's hand, obviously, even with the help of the top-down advantage, it is still weaker than Leo in terms of slash power.

However, at the same time as the great sword was raised, the black light around the gargoyle knight's body flashed, as if it had activated some special ability, which made it continue to raise upwards and then open the door to a forced halt, not only that, but with the help of this special ability, the blood-red spiral greatsword in its hand crackled heavily, and its speed was even faster than before.

Source change app】

A strong sense of threat rose in Leo's heart as a black glow appeared on the Gargoyle's body, and he forcibly stopped the sword that was about to slash at the Gargoyle's neck.

The perceptual circle spreads, covering a range of 10 meters around the body.

Although the scope of transcending the realm is greatly reduced because of being in the sacred tree of Flvideya, the reduction of the scope also has the advantage of reducing the scope, and the oppression of external pressure, from another point of view, also plays a role in tempering the field.

Moreover, in this range of transcendent realms, the perception is very keen.

Faced with a sword that violated the laws of motion under the blessing of the gargoyle black mang, Leo's face remained unchanged, and his perception was accurately captured, and in his eyes, the world was no longer color and shape, but countless dense lines.

Leaning slightly, he dodged the slash of the blood-red spiral greatsword, and the cold sword wind blew his hair back and straightened it.

Leo's eyes were calm, and at this moment, the way he stared at the Gargoyleon, it didn't look like looking at it, but at something deeper.

When the blood-red spiral greatsword was less than 0.1 microns from the ground and had not yet landed, Leo's right foot, which had gathered a huge amount of transcendent power, raised his right foot, stepped heavily on the blood-red spiral greatsword, and stepped it into the ground.

"Boom!"

A roar far surpassed all previous movements resounded in all directions, centered on the landing site of the blood-red spiral greatsword, the ground within a radius of fifty meters shattered inch by inch, and the terrifying shock wave carried gravel, dirt and other debris, surging in all directions, revealing a huge tree root with a dark color more than ten meters underground.

The Gargoyle was stunned, and the strange tremor power transmitted from the blood-red spiral greatsword in his hand swept through its entire body, causing its body to fall into a "strong stiff state".

The two-colored sword slashed through the air in a graceful circle, sweeping past the gargoyle's neck, like the full moon in the sky at night in the holy tree of Flvedia, graceful and extremely murderous.

Leo's body appeared more than ten meters behind the Gargoyle, and the long sword in his hand was as smooth as new, without a trace of blood.

"Boom."

The sword was unsheathed, and Leo slowly turned to look at the gargoyle knight who kept his sword in the ground.

The only piece of equipment on its body, the Demon Mask Armor it wore on its face, was full of cracks, and soon it fell one by one, revealing a majestic square face.

The scarlet color in the knight's eyes slowly faded as the scarlet color in his eyes slowly faded, and the black blood flowing through his body was covered with black veins, and the black blood flowing in it also converged towards his hands, and finally merged into the weapon that had lost its strength and changed its sword grid and hilt to a spear again.

The influx of black blood made the blood red on the spiral spear deeper and deeper, and faintly, there was a tendency to turn black and red.

Leo ignored the change in the blood-red spiral spear, as a weapon, he had lost the owner who used it, and could not pose any threat to him, his gaze looked at the knight whose eyes had become clearer a little, his right hand was raised, against his left chest, and he bowed slightly.

It was a courtesy of respect among knights.

"In the church...... There is one last hope...... Don't believe ...... Tower...... Protecting ......"

The staccato words that came out of the knight's mouth, just a dozen words, exhausted the last of his life.

Before Leo could speak, the light of its clear-eyed eyes dimmed.

"Bang!"

The lifeless body half-knelt down and faced Leo, as if in salute and pleading.

Leo was silent, he lowered his head slightly, looking at the dead knight.

"From now on, you will not have to suffer such pain......"
