$780 Crusader and Rakanos

“I’m going to go in and take a look now.

After all, I can't let a warrior who is weaker than me face a strong enemy. "

Craig tilted his head and said.

Following this movement, his head moved closer to the shadow rat that kept gnawing at his flesh and blood.

So the greedy, insatiable rat gnawed hard on his face.

But Craig didn't say anything about it.

It's just flesh and blood being chewed away, so it's not a problem for Craig.

At most, it was only accompanied by severe pain, which was nothing compared to the feeling of facing death when he was weak.

"Are you going to go with me? Or do you and I choose to go in a different direction?"

Steve asked seriously.

For them at this time, the black fog in front of them was an unknown.

Although they are no longer considered weak, there is something in this terrifying world that they still need to be careful about.

If you travel together, the dogs can be of great help to each other.

But working separately can also yield more intelligence.

After knowing the name of Rakanos, no one will be arrogant.

After all, there are only a few people in this world who do not feel despair.

“Let’s move separately.

After all, I still carry this greedy rat with me.

If necessary, I will use my own methods to spawn more Shadow Rats.

If everything comes to worst, letting the shadow rats devour Rakanos is also an option. "

When Craig said this, a shadow flashed in his eyes.

The lethality of the Shadow Rat Swarm does not require much elaboration.

Except for Baal, the Demon God of Destruction, no one has a good way to deal with this thing.

These little guys are a kind of life, but their unique way of existence makes their existence a bit similar to Leoric's blasphemy against life.

These things can be killed, but the shadow remains.

Shadow Rats is not just a name, but the most essential description of the state of these little rats.

The shadows will not be extinguished, and the rats will not be extinguished.

And mice can shape shadows into the world.

It can even be said that Hamelin's death itself was an accident.

A legendary demon capable of carrying the Shadow Rat, if they hadn't met Orak, who was considered the strongest at that time, they would probably have continued to wreak havoc.

“Then I’ll take the first step.

If given the chance, I would like to save some people. "

Steve is very determined in his business.

But Craig could hear a bit of helplessness in it.

They have all experienced the horror of demons, and no ordinary person has left this black mist for such a long time.

They have already prepared for the worst.

Expect demons to be merciful to humans?

This joke is a bit more ridiculous than the fact that the hell demons will help humans.

The demon kings of hell will still help humans for their own benefit.

But demons will never be kind to humans!

"I'll go in later.

If we encounter any problems inside, who in the outside world can delay time? "

Craig seemed to be asking what Steve meant.

But he didn't wait for Steve's answer.

Because Steve plunged into the black fog when he finished his first sentence!

Plains of Despair…

The plain itself is the body of Rakanos.

Rakanos has the largest size among demons, but he basically doesn't use all of himself.

…

“You can smell the devil everywhere, but you can’t see the devil.

So there's only one answer, right? Rakanos, why are you hiding in the shadows to observe a poor Crusader? "

Steve's voice rang out in the empty plain of despair.

His power is constantly sending out trembling reminders.

The instinct of the Crusader is constantly telling Steve that the King of Despair is nearby.

"Okay, I'm coming out now.

I have to say that as one of the few Nephalems who have come to the Plains of Despair in countless years, you have the same keen sense of smell as the previous Rumlow. "

The figure of Lakanos appeared in front of Steve.

It still looks the same, but the size is not as exaggerated as what Gruchak faced.

"Lakanos, I would be lying to you if I said I have admired the name for a long time.

After all, I only learned your name recently.

But it is enough for me to know that you are an unforgivable devil. "

As Steve spoke, the tower shield in his hand stood heavily on the ground.

This is a posture to guard against impact.

The shield is tilted, and Steve uses his body as support for the shield.

When the impact comes, as long as he doesn't fall down, the shield can block the opponent's impact.

Such an action is undoubtedly a sign of weakness.

"Crusader? May I know your name?"

Noward? Gregan? Or Johanna? "

Lakanos looked very relaxed when he looked at Steve.

The uncrowned king of the devil has the right to despise his opponent like this.

After all, if he were to fight at home, even a small percentage of the Seven Demon Kings of Hell would not be able to defeat him.

Crusader Novard, the legend passed down by this crusader is called Novard's Zeal.

It is a two-piece legendary set.

Flail Charge Flail, Tower Shield, Warhorse Shield...

The fighting style of this crusader is more like a guerrilla warfare type.

And they are the crusaders who like to use warhorses to drag demons for long-distance raids.

Perhaps in their eyes, cruelty to demons does not violate their kindness as crusaders at all.

Human kindness should only be given to humans.

This is the deepest obsession of the crusaders named Novard.

And Gregan...

This is a rare existence among the crusaders who likes to use two-handed weapons.

Because of the effect of the innate skill Heaven's Power, they can use two-handed weapons in one hand.

Although the damage caused will be weakened a little, the powerful lethality of the two-handed weapon itself is enough to make up for the lack of this power.

And the most famous legend of the crusader Gregan...

That is the tower shield called Hell's Skull!

After a battle that was not a hard fight, Gregan defeated a powerful legendary demon.

The last blow of the flaming slash cut off the head of the legendary demon, and the head rolled to Gregan's feet.

After looking at it for a while, Gregan decided to decorate his shield with the ugly head of this demon.

The crusaders of Gregan's lineage are more brutal when fighting.

They also advocate more attacking.

Speaking of the same warrior-type profession, only the crusaders of Gregan's lineage are somewhat similar to barbarians.

They advocate basic combat skills and like precise and powerful attacks.

"I am Johanna, although I have not inherited the name of my teacher.

But I now have the confidence that I will not bring shame to my teacher."

Steve said very frankly.

Since Lacanos has already mentioned the crusader school he belongs to, there is naturally no point in hiding.

This frankness is not Steve's stupidity.

It is Steve's fearlessness.

His fighting style is not completely based on the crusaders of Johanna's lineage.

Ordinary crusaders are not very good at using shields to attack.

But Steve is very good at this.

"Oh, Johanna.

Those hard thorny turtles."

Lakanos showed a look of sudden enlightenment.

He was full of malice towards Steve.

This was a very vicious derogation.

The Crusaders who gathered around Arkhan back then had their own way of fighting.

They scattered and began to look for ways to prevent corruption all over the world.

I don't know how many Crusaders became legends along the way, and I don't know how many people fell before becoming legends.

None of these people has ever been corrupted by the Burning Hell.

In this regard, the Crusaders are the most hated enemies of the Burning Hell.

After all, it takes a high price to defeat them.

But there is basically no gain.

And the Crusaders who are the most troublesome for the Burning Hell are Johanna!

Who would like a barbed iron barrel to be their enemy?

When attacking the opponent, regardless of whether your attack penetrates the opponent's defense, you will suffer a fixed counter-injury.

This feeling is really too bad.

This is different from hitting a sandbag that won't fight back.

Every time the Crusaders of Johanna's lineage fight back, they will not cause pain at the place where they are hit...

Instead, the pain of being pierced by thorns will spread throughout the body.

These guys are also the favorite opponents of the masochist Duriel.

That kind of pain is more comprehensive than Duriel's torture of himself...

"If you don't really want to fight me right away.

Then do you mind telling me where those ordinary people who were swallowed by your domain are now?

Fighting with you is just one of the purposes of my coming, and it is the most insignificant one.

Compared to defeating you, I hope to save others."

Steve is still serious.

He is rarely impulsive.

It's just that he is ready to use the skill of dedication at any time.

Devotion can make the ground around him a holy place.

It's a bit similar to the dead domain of the necromancer.

But this skill does not have such a big increase for the Crusaders.

But this can be regarded as a portable way for the Crusaders to comprehend the domain.

The inheritance of the Crusaders comes from the Zakarum Sect. On the road to becoming powerful, the Crusaders are almost the most comprehensive and down-to-earth way.

As long as they follow the guidance of their teacher, becoming a legend is not a difficult thing.

After all, from the moment they become a crusader, they have already received the name of legend!

Moreover, Steve has comprehended the rune for this skill.

The rune is called "Nailed Ground"!

The holy land will be full of nails, causing fixed thorn damage to any enemy who dares to set foot here.

"If I say that those people you want to save have already entered the realm of the Archangel of Hope.

Then will you still insist on fighting me?

Of course, I don't mean to let you go.

I'm just a little curious about the thoughts of you crusaders.

After all, the Crusaders are the largest number of Nephalem who come to me."

The words of Lakanos revealed terrible news.

Steve didn't know how many Crusaders there were in the world.

He didn't even know if there were any successors to the Crusaders of the lineages of Novard and Gregan.

Even Johanna couldn't answer this question.

But Lacanos' words vaguely revealed the fate of the two Crusaders.

Among the Nephalem who encountered the King of Despair, few could leave the Plains of Despair alive.

"I won't just sit there and wait for death.

And you don't seem to like fighting with the Crusaders of Johanna's lineage?

But you know Johanna's name.

Does that mean that the Crusaders of Johanna's lineage have left your Plains of Despair?"

Steve said with a not-so-good-looking smile.

He still has self-knowledge.

The predecessors were able to leave the Plains of Despair, but that doesn't mean he can do it.

"Not really. Johanna stayed with me at that time.

But his disciple left.

At the cost of his teacher's life.

Also, don't look at me with that look.

Although the Burning Hell had little to do with the Nephalem at the beginning, as time went by.

The Nephalem has long been included in the scope of the blood feud of the Burning Hell.

The world always changes, doesn't it?

By the way, there were a total of four people who came to me at that time, the inheritance of three Crusaders.

Yes, it was Novard, Gregan and Johanna.

It's a pity that Novard's warhorse couldn't drag my body.

Greg's exaggerated strength among the Crusaders was not as exaggerated as that of the barbarians.

Only Johanna was strong enough, which made me suffer a little."

Lakanos talked about his own strength without hesitation.

In the eyes of the demons of the Burning Hell, there is no such thing as modesty.

They are not ashamed to talk about their own strength, and even use their own achievements as capital to show off.

After all, the entertainment conditions in the Burning Hell are too poor.

There is nothing else to do except bragging to each other.

"Although I think it's not a bad thing to go to the realm of hope.

But from your eyes, I feel that there seems to be other hidden secrets here?"

Steve's hand has already grasped the flail.

He is ready to start swinging the blessed hammer at any time.

When facing the devil, there can be no relaxation.

A moment of carelessness may become the cause of one's own death.

The Crusaders of Johanna's lineage have more tolerance than other professions because of their tough fighting style.

But death will not be deterred by their toughness.

"I told this story to the barbarian before.

If you want to hear it, I don't mind telling it again.

Anyway, you probably won't have a chance to leave the Plains of Despair.

Also, has anyone told you that it is a very annoying thing to sprinkle nails on others?"

When Lakanos spoke, his eyes flashed red.

In this place, everything has its foothold in Lakanos' body.

Any changes in the Plains of Despair cannot escape Lakanos's observation.

"Also, there are no Crusaders who have inherited Johanna's name.

If you die in my hands, I will brag to my acquaintances that I am a legend who destroyed three Crusaders.

I really hope that the expressions they show after knowing this news will make me happy."

Lakanos tried to bring despair to Steve with words.

After realizing that these words were meaningless, he became uninterested again.

Then he began to talk about the connection between himself and Auriel in a weak tone.

Perhaps he felt that this kind of story could make any Crusader who wanted to save others feel despair.

However, the Crusaders were as dismissive of it as always.

The Crusaders, the most determined Nephalem.

Their determination does not come simply from the belief in the high heaven and the archangels.

But it is the belief that everything they do is just!

Among the Crusaders, there are many who can be called saints.

Death has never been a regret or a relief for them.

The life of the Crusader is filled with only firm faith!

The kind of firmness that integrates faith into the blood and turns faith into strength!
