Chapter 9: Dark Prophecy
The sun was shining, and the breeze was blowing the sparkling water of the lake, lapping on the shore and stirring up a little ripple. The lake is dotted with evergreen pines and cypresses, bright wildflowers and dense shrubs.
However, the scenery is that there are two groups of people facing each other by the lake, and the atmosphere is tense.
Dick looked at the four enemies in front of him, and couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face: "How many batches are these?"
"Who knows," McFarlane pouted, helplessly.
Very depressed, things are really as Ron said, even if his points are divided into three, it still makes Dick the most points among the three.
It's now the twenty-eighth day of the Survival Match, and in the days since defeating Ron, the trio have encountered more other contestants than they had in the previous twenty days combined. Although the opponent's strength was not comparable to Ron's, the continuous fighting was also exhausting. Fortunately, before the start of the survival match, Dick prepared a batch of potions to restore magic and fighting energy and put them in the space bag, and the fruits made of the magic power of the Holy Magisters also had a certain recovery effect. That's why everyone was able to persevere from such a high-intensity battle.
At this time, they are facing a new group of enemies, four people, three warriors, and one mage. They are all contestants who are attracted by the "highest scorer".
"Will you hand it over yourself, or will we do it?" said one of the warriors, and Dick recognized him as the person mentioned in the information given to him by Dean Sarneo, named Bert, who possessed a seventh-level fighting spirit.
The three Dick replied to the meaningless question with action, their swords unsheathed and their arrows on the bowstring.
The battle ensued.
After nearly a month of fighting side by side, the cooperation between the three of Dick became extremely tacit.
At the beginning of the battle, Dick and McFarlane rushed towards the three warriors while silently reciting the incantation, and suddenly the sword and sword shadows flew vertically and horizontally, and the fighting spirit erupted, and the mountains and rocks were cracked. Bert was even more brave and invincible, the weapon he held was a two-handed sword, and between the slashes, the crescent-shaped blade of sword qi shot out, forcing Dick and McFarlane to dodge left and right, not daring to touch its edge.
Landas targeted the mage behind him, who had planted two layers of defensive magic on himself at the beginning of the battle. But these two layers of instant defense were nothing for the elves who were good at bowing and arrows, and Landath had three arrows on the string at the same time.
With a thud, three arrows were fired, two of which pierced the magician's defensive magic and landed on him, and the magician's weak body was carried backwards by the momentum of the arrow, and then fell to the ground on his back, rolled his eyes, and fainted in pain. A third arrow landed on Bert's two-handed greatsword, deflecting a sword blow from him.
After the three arrows were fired, Landas put the longbow behind his back again, drew the elven sword at his waist, and rushed towards the battlefield where Dick and the others were.
This time, the battle became even more intense, and the six warriors used their own means to attack and defend each other, with swords and swords, and blades swept horizontally. The escaping fighting spirit blasted out large craters on the ground.
McFarlane was the first to complete his magic: "Blue Fire Meteor!"
As McFarlane shouted, a turquoise flame coalesced across the sky without warning, falling from the sky at an undodging speed and smashing into one of the fighters who was fighting McFarlane.
Hearing only a bang, the warrior was hit by a fire meteor falling from the sky before he could put on a defensive posture. When the fire dissipated, I saw that he was covered in charred black, his clothes were ragged, his hair was all burned by the hot flames, and the smell of barbecue emanated from all over his body. Then I saw him foaming at the mouth and fainting very simply.
Now it is Dick three against the other two, although Burton's combat power is extremely strong, but now it will not cause too much pressure on everyone.
Dick's magic was then completed: "Dark Curse: Sluggish!"
Burton suddenly felt his body stiffen, and his skills involuntarily became sluggish. Seeing McFarlane kicking him, he couldn't cross the sword to resist, so he could only watch himself being kicked by McFarlane, and his body flew out upside down and fell into the lake.
Burton's limbs thrashed in the water. Through the splash, he could vaguely see that one of his Zuihou companions had also fallen to the ground.
This battle has been decided so far. "Mr. Burton, you'd better hand it over yourself. McFarlane said politely to Burton, who was fluttering in the lake.
Although Burton was unwilling, he was helpless, and after going ashore, he voluntarily handed over his metal brand.
As a result of the battle, Dick's points increased by a few hundred points.
By the lake, the breeze is still blowing gently. Dick and the three of them lay on their backs on the verdant and soft grass, basking in the sun comfortably, while also recovering the physical strength they had consumed in the battle just now.
"Dick, we're going to congratulate you in advance, as long as we survive these two more days, the winner of the survival game will be yours. McFarlane laughed.
"Not necessarily, we only beat Ron out of the three toughest characters, and if we meet Elizabeth or Gold, we're going to have a tough fight. Dick chewed on the straw in his mouth and said.
"Actually, it's nothing to run into Gold, that guy is an eighth-level thunder demon martial dual cultivator, and his strength is about the same as Ron's, if we can defeat Ron together, we can naturally defeat him. McFarlane sighed, "The only tricky one is Elizabeth, her prophecy is arguably the toughest magic to deal with, and she has two followers by her side. ”
"Quillat and Murphy?" Dick muttered, "These two people are also on the list given to me by the Dean, one is a seventh-level warrior and the other is a seventh-level magician, both of whom are light attributes. ”
The two chatted for a while, and the topic mainly revolved around this year's Grells Survival Tournament.
"Shhhh Landas's long, pointed ears twitched slightly, and he said to the two, "There are three people approaching here. ”
The three Dick immediately jumped up from the ground and assumed a fighting stance, and about two minutes later, three men came out of the jungle by the lake.
At the forefront was a young woman in a moon-white robe, with long curly blond hair, blue eyes as deep as the sea, a small straight nose and round and plump lips. This is a beautiful woman who meets the criteria of a lover in anyone's dreams. In her right hand, she held a metal staff more than a person tall, the head of the staff was a crescent moon, and the staff shone with a faint milky white light all over.
Behind the woman, there were two young men, one tall and mighty, full of explosive muscles, his brown hair scattered like straw in front of his forehead and the back of his head, and he held a double-edged axe in his right hand.
The other man was slender and well-proportioned, with short blue hair, neatly trimmed bangs, and beautiful lilac eyes, and he also held a magic wand.
Dick smiled wryly at McFarland, "It seems that you really got it by your crow's mouth! ”
The documents that Salneo gave Dick included portraits of the characters, so Dick could see at a glance that the three people in front of him were none other than Elizabeth and his party, whom they had just discussed.
As soon as the tall and strong man saw the three Dicks, he immediately shouted, "I'm not mistaken, the people with the highest points are this group of little hairy children?"
"Quillat, don't be rude!" Elizabeth scolded, and Quillat immediately closed his mouth, it seemed that the tall and muscular man had great respect for Elizabeth.
Elizabeth said gently to the three Dicks: "We have no intention of harming you, please hand over your qualification certificates for the survival competition, with your current age, the future will be your stage." ”
"I'm sorry, Miss Elizabeth, we appreciate your kindness, but if we give up this game, we can only defeat us. McFarlane was equally polite.
"Is that so?" said Elizabeth's beautiful cheeks, a look of embarrassment, "Quillat, Murphy, go ahead, and be gentle." ”
"Yes!" the two men replied in unison. Then Quillat's sturdy body began to pour out milky white light and fighting energy, and the soles of his feet slammed on the ground, and his body was already shooting towards the three Dicks. Murphy cast a defensive spell for himself, and then chanted the spell in place.
Dick's three were also extremely fast, and Landath immediately retreated behind them, and the arrows were already on the bowstring. Dick and McFarlane stood in place to meet Quillat, and the two of them silently chanted a magic spell.
Landas aimed at Murphy, only to hear the sound of whirring wind, Landath shot three arrows in a row, but Murphy's strength was not comparable to the magicians in Burton's team before, and his instantaneous magic shield only shook slightly after blocking Landas's three arrows.
But Landas's arrows weren't without any effect. Murphy was shocked when he saw Landath put three more arrows on the bowstring, and quickly stopped the magic spell he was chanting, replenishing his magic shield with mana, he couldn't cast a large magic until Landas's magic was running out.
Armed with a double-edged axe, Quillat swung it with the sound of the wind whirring, and rushed straight at Dick and McFarlane with an indomitable ferocity. The Nether Demon Sword and the Blood Moon Blade parried at the same time, but both Dick and McFarlane felt the pain of their hands being shaken by the massive liliang. The Liliang of Quillat is so powerful!
Another axe was slashed hard, Dick and McFarlane were helpless, and they endured the sharp pain in the palm of their hands to meet them, and the three of them immediately fought inextricably. The fighting spirit of the three of them was like a flame, burning on the surface of their bodies.
What burned on the surface of Dick's body was naturally a black flame of fighting spirit, and Elizabeth, who was watching the battle from a distance, immediately frowned slightly, and she sighed softly: "Poor man, God has given you glory, but you have forsaken it to darkness. ”
It was obviously just a soft mutter, but it came into the ears of everyone present very clearly. And every time Elizabeth spit out a word, the voice in everyone's ears became louder, and when she reached Zuihou, it seemed that only the magnificent words were left in the whole world.
"In the name of God, the light will drive out the darkness. ”
A milky white light fell from the sky and enveloped Dick's body, and Dick only felt that the dark magic and fighting energy in his whole body seemed to burn under this holy white light.
Dick screamed, and the Nether Sword fell to the ground, his hands covering his skull and moaning in pain.
Elizabeth glanced at the Demon Sword Netherworld that had fallen to the ground, and her brows furrowed even tighter: "Pathetic man, you have not only discarded the glory of God, but also used a weapon tainted by demons. ”
"What did you do to Dick, stinking girl?" McFarlane roared, and his eyes immediately turned blood-red, his chest rose and fell violently, his nose swelled, white smoke erupted from his nostrils, and the muscles on his body swelled and knotted, and he had entered the bloodthirsty state brought by the Blood Moon Knife.
McFarlane slashed down with a fierce sword, and the brilliant sword was huge, forcing Quillat back unstoppably, and immediately following the sword, McFarlane's figure also rushed towards Elizabeth in the distance like an arrow from the string.
Landas was also furious when he saw Dick's tragic situation at this time, a month of getting along, a month of fighting side by side, and a month of supporting each other, the three teenagers were already close friends in life and death!
Landus didn't hesitate to use his stunt, and his left hand holding the longbow began to overflow with turquoise light like water waves, and the light condensed and spread to the ends of the longbow. As the light overflowed, Landas's face grew pale.
Spreading to the end of the longbow and then extending to the bowstring, Zuihou light converged at the position where the bowstring was held in his right hand, and he slowly pulled the longbow, this usually effortless action, at this moment it seemed to use up the liliang of his whole body, and in the process of pulling the bowstring, the turquoise light began to spread to the arrows on the string.
By the time the longbow was drawn to the full moon, all the turquoise brilliance had flowed to the arrows. Landas's face turned pale as paper at the same time.
He let go of his hand, and the arrow was like a streamer, invisible and shadowless, so fast that he couldn't dodge!
Elizabeth's voice began to echo between heaven and earth again, very strange, it was clear that McFarlane and Landas's arrows were flying towards Elizabeth at a rapid speed, but she had finished the prophecy before they arrived, and every word she spit out rang out in everyone's hearts very clearly.
"In the name of God, he who enjoys the glory of God will be redeemed!"
A soft white light descended from the sky, condensing but not dissipating, forming a pillar of light that enveloped Elizabeth. This white light seems to be the strongest wall in the world. Both McFarland's forward form and Landas's arrows bounced off the white pillar of light as it touched it. Both of them vomited blood at the same time.
"In the name of God, those who are in the company of the devil will be judged!"
A blazing flame of light ignited from both McFarlane and Landas, and they both screamed at the same time, unable to stand on their feet any longer, half-kneeling on the ground, barely supporting their bodies with their weapons.
"Don't—" Dick was in the midst of the light, and when he saw the flame burning on Macfarlane, his eyes were suddenly split, and he closed his eyes in pain.
From the depths of his heart he cried out, "Dimihera!"
"What?"
"Lend me Liliang!"
An endless black mist surged out of Dick's body with an aura of death that seemed to come from the netherworld, dispelling the milky white light that shrouded Dick's body. At that moment, Dick was enveloped in darkness.
The black mist that enveloped him gradually condensed behind Dick's back, and two of the deepest and purest darkness stretched out from behind him. Is that...... Two black wings! Demon Wings!
With a slight flap of the demon's wings, Dick's figure floated into the air. At the same time, Dick also opened his eyes, it was bloodthirsty red!
Elizabeth's face was already full of shock and disbelief: "Lost man, have you sold your soul to the devil?"
Elizabeth pointed at Dick from afar, and a prophecy came from her mouth countless times louder than before: "In the name of God, the light will drive away the darkness!"
Dick moved his blood-red pupils to Elizabeth, and he also raised his hand and pointed at Elizabeth from afar: "In my name, there is light and there is darkness!"
Two diametrically opposed prophecies collided in the air, and the air let out a piercing popping sound. The space shook slightly, Dick's figure swayed slightly, a puff of black feathers falling from his back, and Elizabeth vomited blood and fainted.
"In my name, the judgment ends!" another prophecy came from Dick's mouth, and with it the flame of light that burned McFarlane and Landas.
Dick made a move, and the magic sword on the ground automatically flew up and shot into his hand, "In my name, no matter how long the day is, it will usher in the night, and in the night, there is no light!" He waved the magic sword at will, and a huge sword that flashed black light and was ten zhang long came out from the magic sword and slashed towards Quillat and Murphy on the ground.
Quillat and Murphy exerted the light magic and fighting energy of their whole bodies, and held up an insignificant defense. The jet-black sword flashed by, and the two of them vomited blood and fell to the ground.
