We are very close to the Dark City, but a knight on a horse appears in front of us, blocking our way!

The knight had no head, but wore a yellow iron mask on his chest that was supposed to be worn on his head.

In his right hand he carried a double-edged spear, which was huge.

"Who are you?" I asked subconsciously, no matter how he replied without even a head.

Sure enough, he didn't say anything, or, couldn't.

"Elemental Ignite!"

I was just getting ready for battle when the Headless Horseman jumped up on his steed and stomped in the middle of us, knocking us back in three directions.

"That's the way we walked when we came out of the Dark City. Lipa pointed behind my back and said, "Your side is the way to Neupella." ”

"Do you see this Headless Horseman?"

Lifa shook her head.

It seems that this headless horseman is very strange, in short, he is not some Dark City guard!

Rather, it is a simple enemy!

Suddenly, the Headless Horseman turned and ran towards me, his spear slashing from top to bottom!

"Ice Wall!"

Sure enough, in the face of such a melee opponent, the elementalist still has to raise the ice wall first, and then counterattack!

The Headless Horseman's spear hit the ice wall and was bounced back, and I took the opportunity to attack with Flame Blast! But the Headless Horseman turned around and ran, thinking that with the horse's huge body, he would not be able to dodge, but he still let him run away, and the Flame Blast's efforts were in vain.

He turned on Danio, who dodged with a ghostly step and passed through the Headless Horseman. The Headless Horseman turned his horse's head around again and ran after Danio, the spear right behind him!

Lifa hurriedly flew forward, picked up the spear with a sword, and Danio also saw the opportunity, turned around and struck a "ghost flash", only to see the X-shaped sword qi and Danio's body pass through the Headless Horseman, and the Headless Horseman's movements stopped instantly!

Then, under the explosion of sword qi, the headless horseman's body was injured on both sides, but he rose alive again, raised his spear and waved it, and a powerful coercion came out from his side, knocking Danio and Lifa back in an instant!

"It's only one step away from the Dark City, we can't let this guy waste time, and fight quickly!" Danio finished speaking, and turned on the Flame Carlo again, and the blade was suddenly covered with a layer of black aura!

"Soul Release Missile!" Lifa unleashed the missile, and then quickly rushed forward! The Headless Horseman swung his spear to resist the missile, and met Lifa head-on, so he faced Lifa from the side, and kept parrying with his spear!

Danio also fired the Stygian Flame at the Headless Horsemann from a distance on the other side to contain it, but the Headless Horseman's skillful spear not only forced Lifa back, but also easily bounced off the Stygian Flame with the tail of the gun many times during the process!

"Jack Bomb!"

"Shadow Imprisonment!"

I took the opportunity to attack with Jack's explosive bomb, and after Lifa was repulsed, she also threw a small black ball, and Danio's Stygian Flame continued, striking from three sides, intending to defeat the Headless Horseman!

"Drink!"

With a roar of rage, the Headless Horseman spun his horse in place, and the spear in his hand swept in all directions, ricocheting out all of our ranged attacks!

Just before I could strike a second time, the Headless Horsemann ran at me again, spear raised in the air, and swung it the longest distance his spear could reach me!

"Thunder!" I was not afraid of danger, and drove away the Headless Horseman with a thunderbolt in the opposite direction, but his charge was not over, and I saw that the horse's head had come to me, and slammed it into my chest!

"Stand-in straw man!" As a last resort, I could only use my life-saving skills to escape in the direction of Lifa and avoid this catastrophe, while the stand-in straw man was instantly flattened and disappeared!

After a few quick breaths, I finally recovered and began to charge up!

The Headless Horseman saw that I was charging up and was about to kill, but he found that the horse's legs had been frozen in ice, and it turned out that Danio had released Saya of Frost!

"Polar Ice Feast!" I was able to unleash my charge as soon as I saw icicles pop up around the Headless Horseman, and eventually, an icicle lifted it high and fell to the ground, and then the energy of the explosion of the surrounding icicles froze it into an ice sculpture!

"Good chance!

o

Lifa summons the "Magic Mirror Phantom Array" to surround the frozen Headless Horsemann!

Countless dark magic powers are scurrying, lifting the ice and leaving the Headless Horseman bruised all over his body!

However, at this time, the time for Danio's ice formation had arrived, and the Headless Horseman was unfrozen again, and he immediately broke out of the encirclement of the black mirror and immediately came to an open place, raised his spear and spun it again!

This time, several translucent apparitions appeared from the Headless Horseman's body, each one of which looked exactly like the Headless Horseman!

"Void Orb!" I tried to block the Phantom with the Void Orb, but who knew that the Phantom went straight through my spell and knocked me into the wall!

"Ahem......" I couldn't help but cough up a mouthful of blood, thinking to myself: these can pass through the spell, why can't they pass through me......

"These phantoms will turn into entities before they come into contact with you!" Lifa raised her sword to block a charge, and in an instant, the power of darkness shot out from the end of the sword, breaking through a phantom!

"What then?" I gasped for air, and the pain in my back was unbearable!

"Can you still fight?"

I stretched my muscles a little, except for the swelling and pain in my back, it was nothing serious, but I couldn't fight when I drew my sword, so I said, "It's still okay to cast spells and walk!"

"Then, you go and deal with the Headless Horsemann itself!"

I looked in the direction that Lifa was pointing, and saw that the Headless Horsemann was in the middle of the battlefield, constantly summoning new apparitions, intending to cover the entire battlefield!

"No problem! Flame Blast!"

This time, the Headless Horseman simply stood still, and as a result, there was an explosion, and in a heart-rending neigh, the Headless Horseman was flipped to the ground along with his horse, and then, the horse could not get up again!

The Headless Horseman finally stopped summoning the Phantom, and he got up on his own, his gun in both hands!

The first thunderbolt sent the Headless Horseman trembling, but he reacted quickly, jumping back, dodging the second and third, and then, leaping to his feet, attacking from above the ice wall!

However, the Headless Horseman was still agile, playing with his gun with both hands, and easily flicked off Jack's bomb! At this moment, the preparations for elemental ignition have been completed, and my magic power has been greatly improved! The Headless Horseman stabbed me right in the heart, and a thunderbolt directly cut off the tip of his spear!

The Headless Horsemann froze, as if he couldn't believe this was happening, and I slammed it to the ground with a slap of the Falling Flower's Palm - and tugged at the muscles in the back, causing me to scream in pain.

I have to hurry up, though!

Before the Headless Horsemann could get up, I finally finished the final charge, and then, it was:

"Annihilate the Black Hole!"

The black hole was instantly generated next to the Headless Horseman, and he could not avoid it, and the whole person was sucked in, and his body became fragmented, and he was destroyed in the explosion!

After eliminating the Headless Horseman, the apparitions were all defeated, disappearing in the middle of the charge.

Danio hurriedly ran over and asked, "Nicole, are you alright?"

I shook my head, "It's a pity that the battle happened too suddenly, and I didn't have time to use the magic shield. ”

"The magic shield consumes mana to reduce the impact, can't it be left open all the time?"

Makes sense, just like your ghost step......

"Take a break and move forward, we're not far from the Dark City. ”

Suddenly, in front of us, in the direction of the Dark City, a group of people walked over!

They were all dark elves, and they looked like an army, many with bows and arrows in their hands!

At the front was an old man with a long white beard, his right eye closed and a black scar on it, standing there with a scepter in his hand. She was surrounded by two burly guards, one with a shield and the other with a meteor hammer.

"Cunning humans, dare to invade the Dark City!" the old man at the head said in a majestic voice.

At the same time, the Dark Elf archers in the back opened their bows and aimed their arrows at the three of us!

"Wait!" Danio shouted as he stretched out his hand, "We are emissaries from the principality!"

"Shoot the arrows!"

Whoosh whoosh!

In an instant, a volley of arrows shot out from behind them! Lifa and Danio immediately blocked with their swords, blocking the first wave!

However, the dark elves in the back row switched to the front row and fired a second round of arrows!

"Shadow Nightcat!" I also used my quicker spell to block the arrows with the two of them.

"Oh, how can you do magic, Humley, get her!"

The two guards were ordered to come towards us!

"Catch, you're trying to kill someone, aren't you?" I sneered, and asked, "Are you the one Crent mentioned, the Senate?"

"The correct way to say it is - the Senate. I am the President, Sharplon. The old man said quietly.

"Hmph, that's right. The war between the Duchy and the Kingdom of the Dark Elves was provoked by you!"

"Presumptuous!" shouted the shield-wielding guard, and I don't know if he was a tall or a Himpley.

"It was you humans who unleashed a contagion on our realm, killing thousands of Dark Elf people. "Your fate will be the same as that of the Headless Horseman." ”

"The Headless Horseman was sent by you to kill us, right?"

"The Headless Horseman was originally a human, and later, he became one of the guards of the Dark City. Unfortunately, humanity caused a war, and the crowd was outraged, and he was put to death. All you see is a ghost. ”

"Even if he dies, he still wants to protect the Dark City, and he is loyal to his duty, even such a loyal person will not be spared, is your motive for starting the war really to take revenge?"

Charlum was silent for a while and asked, "What do you think?"

"You took advantage of the outbreak of the plague to unilaterally declare war on the principality, but instead made the principality bear the charge of 'provoking war'. After that, they also tried every possible way to prevent researchers from the Dark City from entering Neupera to investigate the plague, in order not to stop the war. ”

"It is extremely dangerous to enter Neupella, and this is for the sake of my people. ”

"So, the alchemists loyal to your senate did not move, and instead killed the alchemist Morgan. ”

"I have heard about Krent, he received you on the orders of the Queen, and secretly cooperated with Morgan to investigate Neupera, which indirectly led to Morgan's death, so I said that Neupera is extremely dangerous. ”

I laughed and said, "Then you should have heard that the soothsayer Alice has detected that the plague is unusual, and the messenger of the principality, that is, us, will arrive soon." And you are now leading troops to ambush here in order to kill us, to kill the messengers of the principality. In this way, war is really inevitable, and your treacherous plan will succeed!"

My words left Elder Sharpland speechless for a moment.

After a while, Elder Sharplun asked, "How do you prove that you are an emissary of the principality?"

"Here is a letter from Alice, and a copy of the female ** of our principality. ”

I pulled out the letters, and the guard with the hammer came and took them away and handed them to Elder Sharplon.

However, Elder Sharprun took the letters, and a fire ignited in his hands!

"Now, there is no evidence that you are the emissaries of the Duchy, nor that you are related to Alice the soothsayer. ”

I finally couldn't help but yell: "You despicable villain!"

It's miserable, this guy is determined to kill us!

With my little tongue tricks, I can't escape death!

Do you really have to explain it here!

"Damn sinister villain!" I scolded again, "Even if we die, we won't let you go!"

"Everyone, prepare—"

Suddenly, a figure descended from the sky and landed in the middle of us and the Dark Elf army!

It was a dark elf girl dressed in a gorgeous gold and white dress.

However, when they saw this person, the group of dark elf soldiers, including the two guards, knelt down and saluted: "See the Queen!"

Your Majesty?

The dark elf girl nodded and asked Elder Sharpen, "What do you want to do with so many people here?"

"Back to the Queen. Elder Sharpen's tone was also a little more humble when talking to the girl, "These human invaders who don't know where they came from, maybe they are spies of the principality, and we are about to capture them for interrogation. ”

"You shameless! You despicable and shameless old immortal fellow! Annihilate the black hole!"

I'm so angry with this Elder Sharprun that I've already started casting spells!

However, with a wave of her hand, the girl known as the "Queen" struck and a strong wind struck, interrupting my spell casting, and I couldn't help but take a few steps back before I could stand firm!

"Elder, I have already heard Krent's description, they are indeed the emissaries of the principality, please bring the army back at once. ”

"But ......"

"It's an order. The queen said in a calm tone.

"Hmm......" Sharpen's words were interrupted abruptly, and he had to reply, "Yes." ”

He then ordered the army to turn back to the Dark City and followed them.

During this time, the queen watched in the direction of the Dark City until the army was completely gone, and then came to us.

"I'm the queen of the kingdom of Van Ness, Mea!"

Danio was the first to go out, bowed gentlemanly, and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Queen." ”

"Are you really the Queen?" I asked in disbelief.

"It's easy to misunderstand my age, but dark elves live much longer than humans, so I hope you understand. ”

Of course, we can only nod.

"So...... Welcome to the Dark City. ”
