Chapter 264 The Price of Rebirth
Three silver knights rushed to the streets below the city from the direction of the palace, their silver armors looked like Shura in the light of the fire.
The silver swords in their hands seemed to have been soaked in a red dye vat, and even the arm armor of the sword-holding hands was dyed bright red.
Just now, three lightning bolts destroyed four siege catapults, but this time the opponent used all his strength. After a short silence, the opponent actually rebuilt a new catapult on the spot and continued to throw burning barrels into the city.
Moreover, the gate had been knocked open by the battering ram, and the gate area inevitably fell into a bloody and cruel hand-to-hand fight.
As the high-level armed forces of Vanhede, the silver knights were all stationed in the castle, and most of those fighting in the city were Vanhede's sword-riding group and a small number of black ring priests.
"Burn these heretics to death!"
The roar of the swordsmen came from the corner of the street. The three silver knights looked sideways and saw several Vanhede sword riders retreating from the corner of a building to the street.
"Silver Knight! It's the Silver Knight! We can't hold on..." A swordsman saw the three silver knights a hundred steps behind him, and shouted towards this side as if he saw hope.
The next second, a spear pierced his brain from his left temple and came out from his right temple, nailing him to the ground.
The other swordsmen barely fought a few moves, but were quickly defeated by the opponent and beheaded.
The three silver knights were not moved, but just protected their shields in front of their chests and stood in place to be alert.
There were a total of twelve people on the other side, all equipped with round shields painted with sun emblems, wearing barrel helmets on their heads, chain mail on their bodies, and a white robe on the outside.
While watching the silver knights, they grabbed the corpses on the ground, cut off their heads with daggers, and threw them into the fire nearby.
"Servants of darkness, burn them all!" the barrel-helm swordsmen roared.
There was no point in saying more, and the two sides started a big battle.
Although the opponent had an absolute advantage in numbers, the silver knights' equipment and sword skills were much more advanced than those of the Vanhede Sword Driving Corps. In just a dozen seconds, all the barrel-helm knights turned into corpses.
The leading silver knight shook off the blood on the sword and accidentally found a charred corpse at the foot of the wall.
The corpse lay on its back on the warm mud. The clothes on its body had been burned into black spots sticking to the charred flesh, but it was still possible to vaguely identify the robes of the church from the wreckage.
"Priest? Died here? Shouldn't they be in the cathedral?" the silver knight muttered.
"Look at that rapier... It's all burnt... This guy is an assassin of the Black Ring Church." Another silver knight said.
"Well... Don't worry about him, find the princess quickly." The silver knight replied.
The three quickly put the priest's body behind their minds and disappeared at the next street corner.
A few minutes later.
The charred corpse's fingers suddenly moved, and the burnt black meat and clothes slowly slid off the body like fragments.
The corpse suddenly sat up and opened his eyes suddenly. His pupils were blood red, and at the same time, a faint red halo emanated from his body.
After a few seconds, the eyes turned into normal human eyes, and the charred skin faded, revealing Chen Ke's tattered suit and human body. He breathed a sigh of relief and felt like he had just had a good sleep.
Although it was only a short moment for Chen Ke to go from death to resurrection, he still noticed that it took longer and longer for him to come back to life each time.
The first time he was killed by the killer in the woods, Chen Ke was resurrected almost instantly. The second time he was shot in the head by a sniper in Pangia's cabin, when he woke up, Shreli and Pangia had already run outside.
And this time...
Chen Ke looked around and found that in addition to Faralis and the swordsman he killed, there were a bunch of corpses on the ground...
A battle took place here...
Chen Ke didn't know how long it had been since he died, but it was certain that Faralis would be hard to find again.
The ability of resurrection from the dead did not consume much lifespan. It sounded like cheating to consume 30% of the current lifespan limit in exchange for a resurrection on the spot.
But only Chen Ke felt scared.
In addition to the longer and longer resurrection cycle, he also felt that every time he woke up, he had a very bad feeling. What was that feeling...
He stood up and looked at the legendary suit on his body. With the current tattered state, the extraordinary effect had long disappeared.
The fire just now burned all the extraordinary clothes that Chen Ke had finally put together into black ash. Now he can only explore this time and space in tattered clothes.
The only holy object that can be worn on the whole body is the SM set of that lady...
Chen Ke hesitated for a few seconds, but still couldn't make up his mind. Wearing a chicken, even if he was naked, he would not wear that set!
The old one will not be replaced by the new one...Chen Ke cast his eyes on the corpse on the ground. When he first came to Van Hede, Chen Ke tried to take off the armor of the zombie knight, but it turned out that this could not be done in the void.
Unless the item itself was idle or abandoned there, or it fell as a holy object after killing the owner, it could not be taken away or used.
He tried unwillingly, and sure enough, the armor seemed to be integrated with the corpse, and he couldn't take it off no matter how he took it off, and the weapons that fell on the ground, as long as he touched them, they became phantoms and finally disappeared.
How can I get a set of clothes in a short time...
Chen Ke was worried. The two armies were fighting in the city. The sound of swords and halberds clashing in his ears was getting closer and closer. It seemed that the attackers had already entered the city.
Chen Ke had no choice but to see if he could find some unused ordinary clothes in the houses to change into.
Thinking of this, he reached out and tried to summon the ruthless anger of Phalaris, but he couldn't summon it.
"What's going on...? The holy diamond is ineffective?" Chen Ke was stunned and took out the wallet in his arms to take a look.
Suddenly, he remembered what happened with Phalaris before.
He remembered that he had stuck Phalaris's ruthless anger into the ground... and he also remembered that he was burned to death by a burning barrel that fell from the sky...
A sense of panic surged into his chest, and Chen Ke finally knew what it felt like every time he was resurrected...
It was amnesia...
Short-term amnesia... It's like having a long dream, but you can't remember it after waking up.
This resurrection ability... It's better not to use it as a trump card... Chen Ke was afraid. If he relied on the ability of never dying to fight and take risks, would he forget everything after waking up one day, and open his eyes to find that the world has changed drastically...?
No wonder the consumption of this ability is so low! The cost is not here at all!
Chen Ke stabilized his emotions, put away the holy diamond, and turned to think about Faralis and this time and space.
"I hope she took it away..." Chen Ke said secretly. It's okay if Faralis took it away herself. It's not easy to deal with if someone else took it away.
He didn't summon the other holy objects, because in the great void, the holy objects could not be restored to diamonds after being summoned, so he simply took out the gun.
All martial arts in the world are useless, and pulling the trigger is the most awesome skill, even in Van Hede, a time and space full of extraordinary people.
