Scene 219 The Battle of Cold Dew Manor
Richard turned around and saw a door of light opening in mid-air, and a wrinkled old man stepped out of it, wearing a gray linen robe like an ascetic, but he was none other than the Holy Flame. The temple was once the holiest of all, the Great Sacrament of Valla. ∈↗The top novel,
Vala glanced in the direction of the forest and narrowed his eyes when he fell on the broken sword in Brando's hand. Then he turned back and looked at the four people in front of him.
A sacred and majestic aura instantly filled the air.
When exposed to this aura, the expressions of Richard, Royer, Saipan and Willek all changed slightly. They knew in their hearts that this man was already the top expert in the temple forty years ago, but now it seems that , the other party has already stepped into the last step of the forbidden area known as the human-god forbidden area - the pinnacle of the extreme realm.
Vala had just stood still when the gray field in the sky in the other direction receded like a tide, revealing a figure hidden behind it. It was a middle-aged man with gray temples carrying a giant sword. , his appearance is not conspicuous, as if he has been weathered, and only the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes can be vaguely revealed to show his former suave temperament.
But the momentum he exuded was extremely astonishing, silent and thick, making people feel like they were standing on a mountain. This person's appearance alone was not special, but everyone in the empire recognized him at a glance - Gray Sword Saint Mephistopheles.
"Mephisto." Richard said the person's name in a deep voice. He frowned and his heart sank slightly. As expected, the other person was already in the middle of the extreme realm and was on par with him. What happened next? The battle will only become more difficult.
The forest suddenly became silent due to the sudden appearance of Great Holy See Valla and Mephistopheles. Only the sound of crackling flames was left. The Flame Family knights seemed a little confused. On the one hand, they were at a loss. Some people Finally recognized the Holy Sword Odysseus, but on the other hand it was because of Mephistopheles.
This ‘demon of the empire’ is notorious in the hearts of every Cruz person.
"The way of the golden flame is not a blind convergence." The Silver Queen's cold voice sounded again: "What are you confused about? Is the King of Flame leaving you only a promise? You should recognize the choices in your hearts and distinguish them. Which one is right and which one is wrong——"
"Your Majesty is right," Vala unexpectedly agreed: "You should have your own justice in your heart and control your own destiny. There is no eternal definition of right and wrong. What matters is the opinion and position in your heart."
"As the Knights of the Flame, you should better understand the true meaning of the Golden Flame, so you should be more determined than others. Your confusion at the moment can only bring shame to the sages."
The knights suddenly realized this and looked ashamed. They all drew their swords and bowed to Vala to apologize.
Because next——
I'm afraid the two sides will have to fight on opposite sides.
"Great Holy See, thank you for your teachings."
"We'll do our best."
Vala only smiled.
The Silver Queen watched this scene with a frosty expression on the other side of the crystal ball. The other party seemed to be helping her, but in fact, these words did not deviate from the definition of the Golden Flame Way. They just discussed this issue regardless of whether it was correct or not. In fact, they denied the highest point she stood on.
The key is that the seeds of resurgence are planted in the hearts of these knights. This is the true meaning of the Golden Flame. It does not succumb to the will of any one person, not even the supreme temple.
Then there is nothing to mention that she is just a king in the secular sense.
"These damn fanatics."
She secretly hated it. The voice became even more chilling: "Vara, it seems that you are determined to stand against the empire. You even do not hesitate to stand with Mephistopheles, the notorious enemy of the empire. You can't even see the temple." Are you going to abandon your dignity as well?"
Vala shook her head. "Your Majesty," he said, "I am here just for the Holy Sword today."
The Silver Queen sneered: "So what? Do you know why the temple is divided because of you? It's because you old antiques who don't know how to adapt, always blindly place your hopes on dead things. Could it be that this is The belief of the descendants of the Flame King, the so-called Golden Flame Way?"
"That is not a dead thing, Your Majesty. It was the will of the sages and kings. Remembering history does not mean standing still. It is because there are things in the past that deserve our attention."
"However, what you don't see is that what my ancestor Gilt, the King of Fire, left to this world in a thousand years has long been abandoned by the world. What the ancestors and sages wanted the world to be like, however, today it has long since changed. It has become something else," the Silver Queen's voice said disdainfully: "Times have changed, Vala, but you are stuck in the past."
This is not the first time that Valla and Her Majesty have argued about this issue, but like every previous dispute, it is destined to be fruitless.
Vala remained silent and did not refute. The Silver Queen knew that in their position, she could not be persuaded by just a few words, so she sneered and secretly gave Richard the order to take action.
Because they no longer have the advantage in the situation, the queen does not intend to give the other party a chance to delay any longer before mobilizing additional reinforcements.
She knew in her heart that the opponent should have a Sidney who didn't show up, and since Mephistopheles found Vala, there was no reason for them to let the moss castle go. The man stationed in the moss castle was Tali, the commander of the Knights of the Guards. Yeah, he was once a student of Sidney. Although his loyalty is relatively reliable, he certainly cannot stop the other party. At this time, he may have already lost ground.
However, she didn't care much about the group of nobles the other party rescued. After all, they were just bait in the first place.
Richard and Royall received Her Majesty's signal at the same time and turned to look at each other. Among them, Royall and Vala were old acquaintances, so they were unwilling to face each other, while the remaining ones Only Richard and Saipan have the strength to fight with them. As for Willek and Bradley, they are far behind and can only be regarded as the second-tier level among the empire's extreme forces.
After only a moment of hesitation, Richard, the grand leader of the Flame Knights, drew his sword out of its sheath. The blade of the Empire's number one sword, 'Steadfast Guard', burst out like a pool of silver light. The bright blade blocked the others. After three people, he said to Royer and others: "I will stop Vala, and you all need to divide your forces to entangle Mephistopheles."
Now that the situation has developed, everyone has understood that it is already unthinkable to leave the other party alone at this time. The best option is to find a way to change the balance of power on the court before Sidney arrives.
Among the opponent's three extreme combat powers, the weakest was Brando, so as soon as Richard opened his mouth, several others understood what he meant.
Among the three of them, Master Royer was unwilling to bully the younger ones, so he gave a wry smile. He directly found Mephistopheles who was not far away, and with a sweep of his fingers, a beam of lightning nearly 100 meters long struck at the opponent.
This is a chain of lightning spells of the sixth ring air system. Although Royer is a law wizard, he is also very good at this kind of 'low-level' elemental spells. Moreover, he is famous for his metamagic skills. Spells below the seventh ring can be cast instantly, and the sky The reputation of wizards is by no means unfounded.
But Royel's strongest skill is actually spell counterattack. His element Mirror Boundary can reflect all magic power. This is why the title of Lightless Return comes from this, so when he chose Mephistopheles as his opponent, he actually chose to face the enemy at a disadvantage.
It was as if an electric dragon was crossing the night sky, making the forest near Hanlu Manor turn white. However, in the face of this attack, Mephistopheles didn't even draw his sword. He stretched out his hand and tore the lightning dragon into pieces.
Electric sparks filled the sky.
However, Royel's attack only delayed time, and Mephistopheles had just blocked the lightning. I feel like the space around me is folding layer by layer. He raised his head and found that the space had been closed from bottom to top into a spherical space. Although there is still the same sky and earth outside the sphere, there is a vague feeling of being separated by crystal.
He knew in his heart that this was the spell barrier opened by Royer, but it was not the paper-like barrier spell of ordinary wizards. The barrier of wizards above the extreme realm often contained their extreme realm. It is understandable to say that the power is a more changeable extreme plain.
Mephistopheles understood the opponent's intention in an instant, and then he drew his sword. At this time, Royer had already disappeared - not a rubbish spell like invisibility that had no effect in the extreme realm, but a real departure from the material world and hiding in a parallel dimension. .
At the same time, two roaring flames instantly formed in the spherical space, if Brando was here. You will definitely recognize that this thing looks almost exactly like his fire giant, but it is several times larger and its strength has increased exponentially - this is the fire giant elder.
As soon as the Elder Efreet was summoned by Royer, he immediately received the order and roared towards Mephistopheles. The Gray Sword Master was not a novice who had never fought with wizards, and he knew very well that this thing was just used by the other party to delay time. Without thinking about the means to cast a more powerful spell, he opened the Extreme Plains.
A gray world appeared behind Mephistopheles. It was like an endless, lifeless wilderness. Except for the endless gray, the horizon and the sky seemed to blend into one. But the Gray Sword Master called his hand, and the gray ground Suddenly, figures appeared on the sky. They seemed to grow out of the gray world. They had no faces and were only gray. They were holding long bows and swords. Tens of millions of people stood in rows, like legions. .
No one was needed to give orders, the gray figures raised their long bows one by one and shot forward. Tens of thousands of overwhelming gray arrows seemed to be passing by in a storm. The two elf elders were directly shot into hedgehogs and exploded into countless pieces on the spot. flame.
But Mephistopheles held the giant sword motionless, and the gray army surged forward, with his gray field spreading in all directions.
Royel, who was hiding in the parallel dimension, immediately couldn't stand. Although he was not in the material world, why wasn't Mephisto's gray world like this? Although the space in the spherical barrier is almost infinite, the place for him to hide is limited. He has just fought with Mephisto and cannot leave it for thousands of miles. Therefore, when Mephisto's army moves, he immediately understands The other party grasped his weakness.
This enemy of the empire who had lived and died many times was indeed well-deserved. No wonder he was able to escape from the empire's siege again and again, and continued to cause trouble to the empire. Only then did Royer put away the general contempt and arrogance of wizards towards other professions. , had to go all out.
He quietly recited a spell, and the sky in the spherical space immediately became covered with dark clouds, and endless lightning storms fell from the sky, instantly wiping out Mephisto's Gray Army.
The Legion of Ashes summoned by Mephistopheles is actually the embodiment of his laws. Once the Legion of Ashes is destroyed, a hole in his domain will naturally be torn apart. He was hurt at the same time and groaned.
But it was at this time that he found the opponent's position through the power ripples caused by Royer's chanting. Like the giant sword in his hand, the gray sword light swept in that direction like a stormy wave.
The law of agitation immediately caused the entire space to vibrate, and Royer could no longer hide in the parallel dimension. He had no choice but to reveal his figure in the material world. The next moment, a sword light hundreds of meters long swept past his waist.
Royer's body shook slightly, as if it was broken into two parts, but there was no sudden flash of blood. His body divided into two parts disappeared into the air like broken water patterns.
phantom--
Royer then appeared from the other side of the sword light, but his face was pale, and the ring on the index finger of his right hand also shattered with a click. If it hadn't been for this life-protecting ring. I'm afraid he has already been cut in half by the opponent.
The gray sword light could ignore his magic defense, which horrified him. After the previous round of fighting, although the opponent was seriously injured, he also lost an elemental pattern ring and a A life-protecting ring.
The most important thing is that he was forced by Mephistopheles to show his body. The biggest advantage of wizards and warriors in fighting is that the unpredictable spells keep them in an active position, and once they fall into passivity.
That's the home ground of the Warriors.
…
And just as Royer opened the magic barrier. While moving a space above Hanlu Manor out of the material world, Richard and several others also faced their opponents.
Richard himself stopped in front of Vala. And Willek flew away into the forest below, but what the grand leader of the Flame Knights didn't expect was that besides him, the people who stayed in front of the Great Holy See Valla were also There is Saipan who is against the tower.
What the other party did was beyond his expectation - although his own strength was still slightly inferior to Vala's, it would not be difficult to hold him back for a while. Richard's original intention was to let the other two take this opportunity. Subdue Brando first. The two of them cooperated with Bradley's three extremes and the young man from Eruin had no chance at all.
But his own soldiers took it as their duty to obey orders, but they forgot that this was not the case for their partners. Royer was a court mage and only took orders from the royal family. Much the same was true of Willeck.
However, apart from these two people, the remaining man, who is known as the tower-defying man or the near-god wizard, is a complete outsider.
Richard couldn't help but look back at the other person, only to see that the other person was expressionless and didn't intend to communicate with him - in fact, this person himself was not a person who was good at words, and his reputation all depended on him. A body of terrifying strength and legendary experience.
Saipan was once a real commoner. He followed an old wizard and was lucky enough to manifest the elements. He once served in the Imperial Knights, but because of his element "World Reflection", he was not taken seriously and later left sadly. .
Up to this point, this man's experience was not much different from that of most wizards in the empire who pursued power and status. But just a few years later, when he reappeared in people's sight, he had already become enlightened.
His element 'World Reflection' can reflect everything in the material world. It seems to be just a useless illusion element, but after the enlightenment element, this law shows terrifying power.
Because in Saipan's hands, he can actually show the reflection of the world of laws in the real world. This is not a field developed by a trivial individual's understanding of the laws, but a reflection of the real world of laws. The power of this reflected world is almost Thousands of times that of the Extreme Plains, its power can be imagined.
Therefore, the people call him the mage closest to God, and he is definitely not Miao Chuan.
However, the display of this kind of reflection is not without cost. Even he himself has only once completely reflected the White Tower in the material world. In that battle, he almost razed an entire Nazer army to death with his own power. On the flat ground, the title of Tower Defender comes from this.
But after that, Saipan never showed such a powerful force.
Because of his early experiences, Saipan has always maintained a distant relationship with the empire. The reason why he appears here now is because he is currently employed by the imperial family.
But this kind of employment is by no means a relationship of loyalty, it is nothing more than a relationship of power or money.
Facing such a person, Richard did not dare to speak casually even if he was dissatisfied. Besides, he also understood that the other person was not his subordinate.
"That's okay. Willek and Bradley should be enough to deal with that young man. At least it will be easier for me if this guy stays."
In the heart of the grand leader, he could only comfort himself helplessly.
