"So be it."

Skeletron stood there, and endless coercion filled the hall. All living creatures were oppressed by this strong ominous aura, and they could barely breathe.

Skeletron takes a step forward. The skeleton defenders on both sides also took a step forward.

The horrific memories of the entire team fighting a skeleton defender are still vivid. At this time, he had to fight the king under the cover of two defenders.

A sense of despair arose. Henry found himself unable to move, and his belief in dying, for justice, was shattered by Skeletron. The light of the aura around the knight gradually dimmed. It seems that the end has come.

Skeletron pulled out a large two-handed mace from the throne behind him. Predictably, if you are hit head-on by this hammer, you will be crushed.

"My body, move! Please, get moving!"

Henry pleaded inwardly. But it didn't work, the body was out of control, and it didn't move.

Skeletron had walked up to the knight and raised his two-handed hammer in the air.

"Is that all? Is this where I end?"

Realizing that it should be over soon, Henry was inexplicably relieved.

At this moment, a small powerful hand slapped the knight's right shoulder.

"Did you wake up? The guardian god is watching you from heaven. ”

The predecessor of the Knights of Radiance was the Knights of the Holy Sword of the St. Paulus Empire. The Knights of the Holy Sword were founded by Guardian, the second-level auxiliary god and guardian god of the original god and god of power, Infinite. Despite the passage of time, the Order of the Holy Sword has split into many orders of various sizes, scattered around the world. However, the Knights of Radiance still have a unified belief in the guardian gods. And the guardian god is also the first faith of the knight kingdom.

As soon as she finished speaking, Kanna lifted Ashley and leaped upward. Relying on the upward impact, he barely caught Skeletron's hammer blow. She fell heavily in front of the knight, and Skeletron's unbeatable hammer was flicked open by her.

Kanna immediately rolled over and rose, and Skeletron's second hammer had fallen from the sky. Edward and Garcia rushed in this direction, but they didn't seem to be able to catch up.

It was impossible to regroup to catch this attack, and I wonder if Kanna would be able to dodge it in time.

Just when Edward's heart was crying out badly. A majestic figure towered beside Canna, holding the hilt of the sword in one hand and the blade of the sword in the other, blocking Skeletron's hammer.

It's Henry. At the moment when Kanna slapped him, he suddenly remembered the oath he had made when he joined the Knights.

I swear to be kind to the weak,

I swear to be brave against rape,

I swear to fight for the defenseless,

I swear to help anyone who asks me for help,

I swear to be sincere with my friends,

I swear that I will die for what I love.

I swear to guard all that is dear,

For this, my life is not worth mentioning.

I swear to guard all that is dear,

For this I am willing to fall from heaven to hell.

I swear to guard all that is dear,

I can even give up honor for this.

Henry's left hand, which held the blade, was full of blood. A dazzling light erupted around his body, and this light enveloped the entire team. It seems to remind everyone that the struggle against powerful evil at any time is not meaningless.

Under the shroud of the knight's [Aura of Faith], the team members were in high spirits, no longer confused, and went all out to face the battle.

Monica opened the magic book and began to cast the ninth-order elemental magic [Summoning Technique: Earth Elemental Lord].

Previously, Monica could only cast up to the eighth order of magic. Because of the battle to destroy the Sea of Bones, she reached level 83 and gained a ninth-order magic use. Because he is an elemental, he cannot use any magic other than the elemental system at the eighth order or higher. In addition, since it is a high-level class specialization elementalist, the cast times of all magic tiers are increased by an additional number of elemental spells. So now she can use ninth-order elemental magic twice. With such a high-level magic, every time you cast it, it will change the tide of battle.

In the Xenomorphic world, you can only use Tier 1 magic at level 1 of the spellcasting class, and you can only use it once a day. After reaching level 10, you will be able to use a higher level of magic, and at level 90, you will be able to use a maximum of 10 levels of magic. In addition, for every level 5 of magic that can be used, the number of times you can use it per day is increased by one, and the maximum number is ten times.

Of course, as mentioned earlier, magic at the eighth level and above is extremely difficult and requires a high level of casting talent to cast successfully. Therefore, many magicians who are close to level 100 cannot guarantee the successful casting of eighth-order magic every time, or even the ninth-order and tenth-order magic at all.

In order to cope with the battle that may become more difficult in the future, Monica copied several ninth-order elemental magic in her hand-held magic book when she was recuperating last night. Since she had reached level 80 or above in her early years of exploration, and had successfully used different elemental magic many times, she knew about it. Monica is a very good high-level mage, not the kind of "group exterminator" that the world often ridicules - she can do far more damage to her teammates and herself than the enemy, and she is very good at making correct spell casting judgments for different enemies and environments.

Most of the high-level elemental damage magic and control magic are range attacks, and it is easy to cause accidental damage due to indiscriminate bombardment, which is not suitable for multi-teammate team battles in small environments. Another downside to the small environment is that it is difficult to dodge enemy attacks, especially multiple enemies. Furthermore, in the face of the combination of Skeletron and two Skeleton Defenders, ordinary summons are easy to kill and meaningless. So Monica chose to try to summon the Earth Elemental Lord, which was the most beaten-resistant unit of any magic she could use.

It's worth mentioning that casting summoning magic in the middle of a battle is tough. Because summoning magic often requires the use of magical energy to open dimensional space channels and allow creatures from other planes to come to the plane where the mage is located, the casting time is often much higher than that of other types of magic. And the stronger the summoned creature, the more time it takes. That's why mages choose to summon in advance of possible battles. However, before entering this room, it is not certain how many guards Skeletron has around him, so he is not sure what high-level magic to use to achieve the optimal solution. In this regard, Monica did not dare to consume the precious high-level magic use in advance, and this caution was beyond reproach. And Monica chose to cast a high-level summon in this difficult environment, on the one hand, because of the cooperative battles in recent days, which made her willing to believe and rely on the teammates in front of her; On the other hand, she is also gambling. It's her fighting game philosophy. Seek stability in the face of an enemy who is weaker than you; Deal normally with enemies in the same class; When faced with a desperate and seemingly invincible enemy, either run away or gamble. No matter how difficult it is to implement, choose the strongest combination of magic to deal with and gamble on a chance to survive.

Years later, when Kanna's study of magic deepened, she also fought countless high-level mage enemies. She commented on her friend Monica: In terms of the strength of the magician's magic power and spell-casting ability, Monica is not particularly outstanding. However, in the ever-changing battle, few magicians can compare to Monica's choice of various types of magic and the judgment of the timing of their use, which is the so-called wisdom of spell-casting battle. She's a top player in real combat.

As the magic of Monica's hands grew stronger, the skeleton shook her head in her direction. Two skeleton defenders, one wielding a battle axe and the other with a war hammer and shield, lunge at Monica at the same time.

Kanna judged in her mind, "There is a high probability that the dual-wielding battle axe is a berserker. Those who hold hammer shields cannot judge their profession for the time being. But no matter what their profession, Primo and Lucy can't hold up the two skeleton defenders."

"Henry and Garcia are going to help, and take out the two skeleton defenders first. Edward and I pestered Skeletron. Kanna commanded decisively.

Garcia did not hesitate to rush in the direction of the skeleton defenders. Henry hesitated for two seconds, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, and ran towards the skeleton defenders.

On that side, Lucy was in the way of the dual-wielding skeletal defenders. Because the current priority is to protect Monica from casting spells, and dual-wielding weapons are obviously more aggressive, and it is obviously best blocked by oneself with a shield and protective magic. Another enemy is for Primo.

Seeing Lucy standing in front of him, the skeleton defender directly raised two axes and threw them at the ground. Suddenly, several cracks quickly spread out in front of the ground, accompanied by a huge impact. Lucy had never seen such an attack, so she set up her shield and prepared to resist. The moment the impact reached the shield, Lucy was immediately lifted into the air. The aftermath of the impact reached Monica with the rift that spread across the ground, and was resisted by the elemental fourth-order magic [Shield: Rock Skin] that she had cast on her beforehand.

Before Lucy could fall to the ground as she was knocked into the air, the Skeleton Defender threw a tomahawk and struck Lucy in the chest. The force of the impact pinned Lucy to the wall, and it took several seconds before she slid down the wall and sat there with her back against the wall.

The Skeleton Defender rushes in front of Lucy ready to deliver the fatal blow. Garcia has already arrived and used [Shield Strike] on him. In the moment of repulsion, the skeleton defender had grasped the hilt of the axe stuck in Lucy's chest, and spun with the impact of the shield strike. Two battle axes twisted Garcia's shield like the blades of a windmill. At the same time, the power of the blade spread to the surroundings due to the continuous rotation. The damage range has completely spread to Lucy and Monica not far away.

Kanna, who was in a fierce battle with Skeletron, swept over to this side, and had already understood that the skeleton defender was the "Butcher". Other types of fighters can only rotate once when using [Whirlwind Slash], otherwise they will lose their balance and affect the rest of the battle. Even if the combat skill is as strong as Kanna, it is rare to use [Whirlwind Slash] for more than three turns. Berserkers, on the other hand, are very proficient in this move, and can spin and attack all the time according to their needs. When performing [Whirlwind Slash], the power of the slash spreads out in a blade-like manner, which can only be done by the high-level class "Killer" of the Berserker faction.

However, the battle on Kanna's side was not easy enough to explain to her teammates the dos and don'ts of fighting the Mercier. To be precise, Kanna's side is very hard, and it is already supported by coolies. Just because of a glance at Monica, this less than a second of distraction has caused him to be hit in the ribs by Skeletron's hammer. Even at the moment of being hit, Kanna used her sword to defend herself at the point of attack, but she was still knocked out and vomited blood. Edward picked it up as soon as possible, taking the initiative to use his shield to meet Skeletron's mace. But he was hit on one knee by a huge force. The left hand holding the shield also had several skin and muscle tears, oozing blood.

It wasn't just Kanna who saw that the skeleton defender was a mercilist, but Edward, Garcia, and Henry. After Edward and Garcia became famous families in the warrior kingdom, they naturally knew all the pure warrior factions and their high-level classes. And Henry will know that thanks to his greater combat experience. Apparently he had fought the Butchers before.

Realizing that both Monica and Lucy were in great danger, Henry had planned to transfer from another skeleton defender to help, but suddenly found that the enemy in front of him had started at some point, and his body was shrouded in a shield that emitted a faint golden light. This is the fourth-order divine skill of the priest profession [Shield of Faith]. This skeleton defender is a priest, and it is likely that he is a high-level profession of a priest, "High Priest"!

Knowing this, Henry instantly didn't know how to respond. High priests are troublesome opponents. Most battles are fought in teams, and the priests in the team are often not very high-level, giving the impression that they are just supporting and healing characters. But the High Priest is completely different, and when he chooses not to assist the rest of the team, he has a powerful attack ability. In addition, the inability to predict the priest's beliefs means that it is impossible to know what his special magic is. At this time, Lucy's situation is critical, but can she leave the High Priest alone to attack the Butcher? What happens when the High Priests attack with all their might? What happens when he assists the Butcher with all his might because he has no defensive pressure? At this time, the enemy who should be attacking should be this high-ranking priest, right? But who has the strength to lend a hand to flank him? Neither himself nor Primo are aggressive classes, is it really possible to defeat this high-ranking priest in a short period of time?

Throughout Henry's fighting career, there had never been such a volatile situation as it is today. What caused him to hesitate was his vast experience. Most people have only two kinds of actual combat experience, one is the experience of victory, and the other is the experience of defeat. Actual combat is brutal, and the experience of defeat often represents death and is meaningless. And the experience of surviving nine deaths in the end is hard to come by, and Henry does not have it. All he has is the experience of victory. And the experience of victory, in such a desperate situation, could not help him find any way to bring victory, not even the possibility. Experience seemed to tell him a lot of plans to try, and it seemed to have completely rejected all of his plans. He felt that he had too many options to execute, and he seemed to have no choice. In such a situation, such as Monica and Kanna, who have excellent combat talents, can subconsciously choose the best way they can do to fight for the possibility. Or less experienced people like Edward and Garcia will fight instinctively in seemingly clumsy and brainless ways. And the rich experience of victory pulled Henry's leg like a quagmire, making it difficult for him to move.

"Kill the Berserker first!" Kanna struggled to shout between battles.
