Chapter 19: The Flames, Curse My Body (Seeking Follow-up)
"It's so full of death."
In the small courtyard of the church, Doris looked at the dead air rising in the distance, she understood that it was the ruins of the ancient battlefield that Lilith was going to, and she couldn't help but be a little worried.
"Doris, if you're worried, you can go over and take a look, it's okay to leave it to me here."
Anna could see that Doris cared, and the other party's safety as a knight was the first priority.
Now that she was asked to guard the church here, Anna could tell that she was not so reluctant.
This is actually quite normal, after all, Doris is not related to this church, so why put the people she swore to protect in danger for the sake of some strangers.
"I'm sorry, I'll be back as soon as I can."
Doris left this sentence with a slight apology, and then ran with a fighting spirit, and disappeared from Anna's vision after a while.
"Joshua, don't be fine."
Anna thinks back to what had happened these days, and Joshua had begun to show his extraordinary, thinking that the town would soon be unable to trap him.
Even though Joshua had said that he did not intend to leave this place, there are some things that cannot be decided by human will, and those who are capable can always move forward with the tide of the times.
Although she was reluctant, Anna also secretly decided in her heart that she must protect this church and let Joshua wander outside without worry.
Just as Anna was thinking, a figure in a black robe came from the darkness, he didn't make a movement like a ghost, and the cold light on the blade of the sword was aimed at the nun who was still cleaning the courtyard.
Even an ordinary person who has no fighting spirit can be extremely lethal with such a sharp weapon in his hand, not to mention that the black-robed man will naturally not underestimate the enemy after suffering the last loss.
The fighting spirit is wrapped around the blade of the sword, and after this sword, it can split the nun in front of him in two.
"Bell~"
The expected feeling of cutting through tofu did not come, but was replaced by the sound of metal clashing.
The sharp sword was blocked by a broom, and above this broom was a stronger fighting spirit than him.
This girl......
Between the thoughts and thoughts, there was a strong wind in his ears, and the black-robed man raised his hand in time to resist, but he was still knocked out, and his arm that was still numb told him that the nun in front of him was not an ordinary person.
"Is it the same thing you've been causing trouble for Joshua?"
Anna put down the broom in her hand, and the fighting spirit condensed in her hand to form the appearance of a knight's sword, which the black-robed people naturally recognized, it was the standard saber of the Templars.
"Dou Qi transformed? I can see that you people in the country church are very skilled. ”
The black-robed man sighed helplessly, if it is said that exercising the fighting spirit is a characteristic of the apprenticeship level, the enhancement of the physique is the characteristic of the professional level, and the sensitivity of the five senses is the characteristic of the elite level, then the fighting spirit is released outside the body to become the form he wants, and there is no doubt that the nun in front of him is also a grandmaster.
No matter how you look at it, this girl is not more than 20 years old, and she can still cultivate the fighting spirit of the grandmaster level when she can't devote herself to cultivating all her heart while taking care of these children.
If this is supported by the resources of the Papal Palace, I am afraid that he will become one of the most genius figures in the past hundred years.
However, Anna would not give him time to sigh, and used the Templar sword skills to kill the black-robed man.
It was the same sword technique as Joshua, but with the blessing of fighting spirit, it was more lethal and more subtle than Joshua.
The black-robed man obviously didn't expect such a situation, and in his original calculation, it would be easy for him to let the ruins of the ancient battlefield drag Lilith and Joshua, and then he would come here to take Jessica.
Can ...... now
However, for a moment of stunnedness, the black-robed man's left arm was scratched and blood gushed out, which was the price of half-heartedness when fighting opponents of the same level.
"Looks like I've been underestimated."
Anna shook off the blood on the sword, and was distracted in such a battle, so the next blow would cut off the opponent's head.
"I really underestimated you, I originally thought that even if the strength was equal, the gap in combat experience would allow me to defeat you as soon as possible, but now it seems impossible."
The original purpose of the black-robed man was to take Jessica away, and now that Anna is in the way, even if he uses all his hole cards to get rid of this eye-catching guy, it is still unpredictable how much he will be injured.
He didn't think that the traps on the other side of the ancient battlefield would bury Joshua and Lilith, and if they came back and his injuries were severe, the battle would be severe.
So he decided...... Moistening.
Without any hesitation, the black-robed man ran away, but it was impossible for Anna to chase after her, and if she also left, then those children really had no one to protect them.
"Gone? But the mark has also been planted, and the stigma won't fade for half a month. ”
Although Anna's sword just now was not fatal, it could have left a scar on the opponent's arm.
With this in mind, Anna returned to the church and continued to pray to the goddess.
……
On the ruins of the ancient battlefield, Lilith's progress was very smooth, although the Brilliant Holy Sword was not the main body, but its extremely high personality was more than enough to purify the dead qi.
However, the dead air accumulated here for thirty years, if you don't want to destroy this place on a large scale, then Lilith's speed will not be fast, and her situation will be more dangerous at this time, but fortunately, Joshua is by her side.
"So fast."
Lilith looked at the figures around her, although their strength was still low, the combat power they could display was extremely strong.
In that cold look, he was always able to kill the most enemies with the least amount of effort, and before long, "hills" of human sticks appeared around Lilith.
The knights around them were stunned as they broke free from the fear of resurrection of the corpses, only to be struck by Joshua's ferocity.
Who would have thought that a priest who is usually kind can be so decisive at a critical moment.
This is not a question of how Joshua was decisive, but that when a person's negative emotions are eliminated, they can do the "right" thing in this way, and ......
"Come out, the corpses are no longer a threat, and your advantage will gradually erode over time."
Joshua suddenly said something inexplicable, but suddenly there was a twist in the shadows beside him, and a muscular man walked out of it with a hideous smile.
"Hehe, you actually found me, that guy is right, you are really interesting."
Of course, it was the Terror Skaven of the Iron Brotherhood, who had been lying in ambush here for a long time, and when the corpses broke through the ground, he used his fighting spirit to influence those soldiers, causing the fear in their hearts to continue to rise, and then collapse at the touch of a button.
Originally, I just wanted to create some chaos and take the opportunity to attack Lilith, but I didn't expect it to be broken by someone, it's really ......
"I was just talking about playing, but I didn't expect that there would really be a fool, which is really surprising."
"You ......"
Feeling that he was being teased, Skaven was furious, but he didn't know that this anger was what Joshua wanted.
Joshua, of course, didn't say that for fun, but he found that even though he had shown enough strength, the knights were still in a crush.
In particular, he has a keen sense of negative emotions, and even after fighting for a while, the knights not only did not adapt to this fear, but became more and more chaotic.
This is definitely not the quality that a soldier should have, so he said that sentence, as for the phrase "talking and playing" just now, it was just to stimulate the guy hiding in the shadows to come out.
With the power of original sin depleted, he didn't dare to guarantee that he still had the strength to keep an eye on the threat from the shadows, and it was a good thing that it was exposed early.
But this guy's IQ is basically goodbye to fighting, it's better to go to the Mage Tower to meditate and meditate, at least he won't die, right?
"Stinky boy, I'm going to let fear destroy your mind."
Skaven unleashed his fighting spirit without reservation, and that fighting spirit seemed to awaken the fear in people's hearts, and the knights who had already collapsed fell to the ground.
Some of the mentally fragile people were even incontinent on the spot, and a strange smell began to spread.
"Fear? That's just my food. ”
Of course, this fear was also in effect with Joshua, but how could such "food" be let go by the power of forgiveness.
As the fear was continuously transformed into the power of original sin, Joshua, who was still worried about his lack of endurance, breathed a sigh of relief, and then ......
"Flames, curse me."
It was a spell that had been compressed to the extreme, and Joshua had not studied magic in detail, but he had learned a spell during this time.
Fireball.
Joshua's hand gently caressed the blade, and a blazing flame spread, and the immobile human remains around them were ignited, creating a wall of fire that guarded Lilith in the center.
"This guy is ......"
Lilith looked at Joshua in surprise, she could naturally hear where these spells were reduced, but what surprised Lilith was even more was that this magic was not a fucking fireball at all.
Although the core of the construction of magic is still fireball, what follows is completely unrecognizable.
"The form of magic...... Is that what he meant by that? ”
Lilith remembered the "voice of the heart" she had heard some time ago, when Joshua had been too rigid about the magic used by Jessica.
At the time, she thought it was Joshua's nitpicking, but now it seems that a simple fireball technique has been changed to this appearance.
The flames of the corpses continued to spread under Joshua's control, and they bypassed the knights to incinerate the corpses that were still coming this way.
To transform the fireball technique into this, it is not only necessary to have strong control ability and mental strength, but also to have unbridled imagination, or only people who know nothing about magic can use the fireball technique to change it like this.
I'm sorry, but Joshua is a Magician who has such qualifications.
The power of original sin has lifted Joshua in all aspects, and the strengthening of physical qualities and the sharpness of spiritual perception have been achieved to the extreme.
This is the basis for transforming, controlling, and using this magic.
"You're left alone."
Even if the rotten corpses regained their ability to move due to the dead air, their bodies were already fragile, and their limbs would soon be burned under the heat of the flames, and they could only lie on them and be eaten away by the flames.
What was originally a one-to-many scene turned into a one-on-one, but the situation still turned against Joshua.
"To maintain such a wide range of magic, and at the same time to fight me, boy, you should have a limit to looking down on people."
Skaven was also puzzled when he saw that his vindictive spirit had not taken effect, and he could clearly sense that Joshua was not using magic or vindictive energy to resist.
But he also knew that he couldn't go any further.
Joshua's flames seem to be invincible, but he must always be careful not to hurt the innocent, and he will be defeated in the following battle.
The corpses still worked, and his victory was still ......
The cold blade interrupted Scarven's thoughts, and he hurriedly stopped to avoid hitting Joshua's blade directly.
What's going on?
Skaven adjusted his attack again, but Joshua unslashed his sword move with a single sword, revealing a huge flaw.
Seeing Joshua stab him again, Skaven hurriedly rolled on a donkey, and in an extremely indecent posture he was out of danger.
This guy seems to be able to predict the direction of my attack, this guy should not ......
Skaven had thought about the difference between the Grandmaster and the Legendary, and the reason why the two realms were so different was because of certain characteristics.
Legendary mages can sense the activation of the elements, reduce spells at will, and modify magic constructions at will, and at this level, even the lowest level of fireball magic can be played.
Legendary warriors awaken their sixth senses on top of their five senses, which not only allows them to sense dangers that have not yet occurred, but also to predict how their opponents will attack like a mind reader.
It is precisely because of the existence of such characteristics that the legend can absolutely crush the grandmaster.
Legend? He?
Skaven couldn't believe it, although the kid in front of him had a lot of means, the more he used it, the more it proved that his strength was definitely not a legend.
Otherwise, he would have knocked down Scarven with a single move, so why bother playing with these vain things.
The more means, the more weak the strength.
Skaven challenged his mind to attack Joshua again, but this time he had to break Joshua's defenses with sheer strength.
It is absolutely impossible to have a sixth sense that only a legend has, and all tricks will disappear in the face of absolute power.
"Corrupt Fangs."
The turquoise smoke wrapped around Skaven's sword, and the poisonous sword aura was extremely corrosive, seeping into the bone marrow as long as the poison was slashed.
In the face of the sharp aura created by this poisonous mist, even if you don't die, you won't be able to continue fighting.
"I see."
Joshua muttered to himself as he looked at the sweeping sword qi, and then the surrounding flames stirred and converged in front of Joshua.
And then converged into a sword of red flame.
"Here, right?"
With a casual finger of Joshua's hand, the Sword of Red Flame shot out, hitting the most vulnerable point of the Corrupt Fang's fighting spirit with an absolutely inferior force.
With just one move, the poisonous mist was completely dispelled.
