Chapter 265 Curse
Guy showed everyone in the underground palace what the "best in the world" sword skills were.
Use skills to break all laws.
As long as he is given the chance to draw his sword, no one can be his match.
There will be casualties when they meet face to face.
No matter whether it was the heavy armor with invincible defense or the extraordinary professional in cloth armor with flexible movement, as long as there was any flaw, the long sword in his hand could stab there accurately and cunningly.
No matter how exquisite the enemy's extraordinary abilities are, under that sharp and piercing sword, he can only exert only 10% of his full combat strength, and he will die if he reveals a flaw!
Top-notch combat instincts, impeccable swordsmanship skills, and decades of rich combat experience... In the eyes of a top swordsman like Guy, these noble knights are full of flaws.
Originally, Guy was a fifth-rank warrior. His understanding of sword skills and the condensation of his fighting spirit had already crushed 99% of the extraordinary people in the world. Now, his murderous aura was even stronger. Magic shields, protective fighting spirit, elemental armor... all could be broken with one sword.
It is so cruel to face a top master. It is a fight of life and death. There is no need for fancy martial arts. As long as you find the flaw, the opponent will not give you a chance to survive.
After Guy revealed the "Eight-armed Ksitigarbha" secret technique, he was invincible all the way. He had no intention of getting entangled with the knights, but went straight to Prince Harper and the Rosas family leaders.
These people are the culprits.
He should be killed.
Not far away, Ryan, who had quietly sneaked to the second floor of the underground palace during the chaos, was watching in amazement.
"Is this the technique of suppression..."
Ryan watched and exclaimed in his heart, "Awesome!"
If it were him, he could indeed break the "formation of a hundred men", but it would definitely not be so easy; as for the "formation of a thousand men", he was a little overwhelmed.
This kind of army battle formation with continuous supply can wear out the fifth-level strongmen alive. If one person punches, it will take thousands of punches to kill them all. What's more, the opponents are not wooden men, but also ruthless extraordinary people.
But for a master of Guy's level, the shortage was completely ignored.
No, it should be just for Guy's "invincible sword skills" at the moment. He can always easily and accurately find the flaws in this battle formation that can even contain the "Ten Legends" for a long time. Just like finding that tiny scale on a dragon at a glance, and then tearing open the hole, infinitely magnifying the flaw until the entire battle formation cannot be repaired...
He, with his sword, was unstoppable.
…
"Guards! Guards! Stop that guy quickly..."
The senior executives were panicked. Seeing such a killing god coming towards them, they were so scared that their faces turned pale.
No one had ever thought that the "waste" who would never resist no matter how much he was bullied actually had such terrifying strength.
Seeing this, they felt a little regretful for provoking such a killer.
Not to mention the previous beatings and humiliations, even what they were doing now, they knew was absolutely unforgivable.
The older generation still remembers the former "Sword of Justice" Guy who hated evil.
How come they don't know that guy's style?
As long as someone did evil, he would kill him without mercy, and would not care about the so-called noble title or status.
The law cannot punish the nobles, but that guy can.
Therefore, Guy was once the "light of the common people" and a symbol of justice in the eyes of the common people.
But now, these guys in Glory City have become nobles, the source of evil, and they have begun to fear the "Scythe of Justice" hanging over their heads.
However, things have come to this point, and the top leaders of the Rosas family know that they have only one choice, that is to kill Guy, or be killed by him!
Naturally, there were experts in the Knights Templar, and the experienced battlefield commander discovered Guy's flaw.
No, to be precise, it is a "shortcoming".
That's Guy's body!
He had been tortured by the poison for more than ten years, and his muscles had atrophied. Even if Ryan detoxified him, the lost muscles would not be restored overnight.
For a close combat supernatural being like a swordsman, muscle strength is particularly important.
Even if Guy takes the path of "controlling airflow", he still needs physical strength and power to support it.
The lethality of sword moves is directly related to "strength" and "qi", which complement each other. Roughly speaking, 10 points of fighting spirit x 10 points of strength = 100 combat power.
If the strength is lower, then he will need to consume more fighting spirit to inflict the same amount of damage.
Guy's body had only recovered about 20% of its strength, which meant that each of his sword moves would consume more than five times his fighting spirit.
This horrific consumption is not just about the total amount of fighting spirit leaking out like a punctured balloon; every time you take a breath, it is also a huge challenge to the body.
The bigger the move, the greater the burden!
Even though his exaggerated sword energy, which was like a waterfall, seemed to be endless, it was impossible for it to be consumed endlessly.
Although Guy's momentum was getting stronger and stronger, after killing the group of a thousand people, his fighting spirit was visibly declining.
The commander saw this point clearly and arranged the tactics, shouting: "Stop him, his fighting spirit is limited, set up a formation to wear him down! A hundred-man group, charge as a group! Don't give him any chance to breathe!"
"Charge! If you retreat, you will be punished by military law!"
"rush!"
“…”
Knowing that the defensive formation is useless, why not just sacrifice human lives!
The hundred-man regiments launched charges towards Guy again and again without any regard for their lives, with no intention of giving him any chance to catch his breath.
In a blink of an eye, one hundred-man regiment after another was defeated and disintegrated.
The swordsman's attack was so fierce that the second floor of the underground palace instantly turned into a slaughterhouse, with broken limbs, bloody fragments and flesh all over the ground...
Guy killed everyone with his sword.
However, every time he killed a group of 100 people, Guy's fighting spirit was visibly reduced...
And there are one hundred such "hundred-man groups" in the underground palace!
…
Soon, the entire underground palace was in chaos.
Not only Guy, but the more than 2,000 civilian hunters also took up arms to resist and engaged in a fierce gun battle with those from the Rosas family.
Bang, bang, bang…
The dense gunfire resounded throughout the palace, deafening.
They knew that this was their only chance to survive. The high-ranking extraordinary noble knights were protecting the top leaders of the Rosas family, and the elite group was besieging Guy.
Even though Guy is very powerful, it is absolutely impossible for him to kill all these ten thousand people by himself...
If they watched Guy being killed by someone who had exhausted his fighting spirit and remained indifferent, then death would also be waiting for these civilian wasteland hunters.
The fighting power of more than 2,000 people should not be underestimated. With the two ends being tied down, the 10,000 noble knights also seemed to be struggling.
Prince Harper saw that the battle situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable, and a hint of cruelty flashed across his face. He directly ordered: "Kill all these guys for me!"
They are just a bunch of lowly tools. Even if it delays the exploration of the ruins, we must not let them live.
Upon hearing this order, the high-level extraordinary people of the Rosas family hiding behind the Knights also took action.
I have to say that when it comes to group killing, the magic system has an innate advantage.
The use of poison is even worse.
[Poison Warlock] has an inherent disadvantage against top swordsmen. His poison cannot break the opponent's fighting spirit defense, so all his skills are completely useless.
Gizela was also very shrewd. When she saw Guy's invincible attitude, she naturally knew that she was no match for him.
Although she was sure that her [Void Poison Hand] could injure Guy, she was not sure that she could survive the opponent's sword when she attacked.
With that level of sword energy, the "Poison Mud Armor" couldn't give her any sense of security at all.
So she changed into a defensive state early on, with green poisonous mud gushing out of her body. In a blink of an eye, she turned into a "mud monster" more than three meters tall, rushing towards those civilian hunters.
The "Poison Mud Armor" is invulnerable to swords and guns, but the splashing poison can harvest the lives of scavengers in large numbers.
Gizela alone was able to hold back the two thousand civilian scavengers.
Wherever she went, a large number of people would fall down like wheat being cut... The low-level transcendents, under the poison, had almost no ability to fight back except to flee in all directions.
…
On the other hand, the only fifth-level wizard in the team, the [Curse Master] Burlag, had already begun casting spells in secret.
At some point, he already had a palm-sized scarecrow in his hand.
After chanting the spell for nearly a minute, Guy's facial features strangely appeared on the white cloth covering the scarecrow's face.
"Curse" is different from other spells. This spell is more hidden, and the way it is released is impossible to trace, making it hard to guard against.
After that series of mumbling spells, the energy of the scarecrow was connected with Guy, and it made the same jumping movements in his palm, as if it had come alive.
At this time, Burlag saw that the spell was complete and shouted, "Immobilize!"
As soon as these two words were uttered, the scarecrow instantly became stiff and stood there in a daze.
Strangely, the scarecrow turned around and rushed to Guy, who was several hundred meters away from Prince Harper, and suddenly stopped swinging his sword. It was as if he was controlled by an invisible force and could not move at all.
Seeing this scene, the senior members of the Rosas family showed great joy.
Finally, the "curse technique" that had been highly anticipated worked.
“Hahaha… Success!”
"Mage Burlag, your curse is indeed well-deserved. After being hit by your [Grass Demon Calming Technique], even a fifth-level extraordinary person will have no chance of escaping. This guy is doomed..."
“…”
Seeing Guy being controlled and unable to move, the sense of crisis of death was alleviated, as if the invisible hand that was strangling their fate had loosened, giving them a chance to breathe.
Seeing that the spell was successful, Burrager's eyes also flashed with joy, thinking: "This time, he is dead!"
This spell was indeed his strongest control technique. It was also because of the desperate attacks of the Knights that he was given such a long time to cast the spell.
When the soul is still, the body will naturally become rigid.
Moreover, this move is also a test before the actual operation.
If the immobilization technique is successful, it means that the opponent's soul is not stronger than yours.
This means that you can use truly deadly curses!
Burrager did not dare to delay, as the "Spell of Calming the Mind" might not be able to control a strong person of that level for long. While calming Guy, he pulled out a bloody red needle and stabbed it straight into the heart of the scarecrow.
The injection was very difficult, as if it consumed a lot of his spiritual power, and Burrag's forehead was instantly covered with sweat.
And it was this needle that pierced the scarecrow's chest that manifested the curse in reality. Looking closely, a "spear" of gray death energy suddenly condensed in Guy's chest not far away, and slowly sank into his body.
There was no blood, but it struck directly at the soul.
At this moment, Guy felt as if his soul had left his body, and the scene before his eyes doubled. The next second, his blood and qi stagnated, and he couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of turbid blood.
Seeing Guy vomiting blood and seriously injured, the Rosas family was overjoyed.
As the number one curse mage in Glory City and the ceiling of the "Curse Sequence", Burlag's methods are well known to everyone.
One move can calm the mind, and the other move can severely damage the soul. Even a fifth-level strong man will be seriously injured if he doesn't die.
The battlefield commander also saw this opportunity and shouted: "That guy is injured, the 'Elite Regiment', hurry up and kill him!"
The high-level extraordinary people lurking in the crowd dared to show their heads, and they quickly surrounded and killed Guy who was in a state of paralysis...
…
The situation of the battle took a turn for the worse.
On one hand, that [Poison Hand] Gizela was running rampant among the civilian scavengers, killing people and leaving corpses all over the ground.
On the other hand, the unstoppable Guy was also severely hit by the "curse" and seemed to have lost most of his strength.
Now, the noble knights have all their masters out, and in the next second, Guy will be beheaded. This sudden battle may be coming to an end...
However, just when everyone thought Guy was dead, suddenly, an accident happened!
The face of Burlag, who was holding the scarecrow in his hand, suddenly changed, and he said in shock: "Not good!"
When everyone looked closely, they saw that the scarecrow with a bloody needle stuck in its chest in his palm actually began to struggle!
After a moment, it seemed to break free from the shackles of the invisible force, and the facial features shown on the white paper changed from stiff to a sneer.
After all, most curses are evil spells that take a dark approach.
In the distance, Guy, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, looked up, his eyes as sharp as torches, staring accurately at the frightened Burrag.
The moment their eyes met, he uttered four words: "Evil cannot prevail over good!"
In an instant, Guy's eyes lit up, and the golden light on his solemn body surged several times like a volcanic eruption. At the same time, a majestic "righteousness" burst out from him, sweeping across the entire hall.
No one else noticed what happened. They just felt that the foul air in the dark hall that had been sealed in dust for countless years was suddenly cleared away, and their minds became clear and bright.
But Burrager had a premonition of something in an instant, his expression froze there, and he was so scared that his soul left his body: My life is over!
Before he could do anything, the blood color on his face faded away like the tide.
The backlash of the spell has already swept over my heart.
It was a backlash force that made him despair and completely irresistible. At that moment, he felt that his soul was like a glass statue, which was shattered into pieces by the impact of gravity.
[Curse Warlock] is indeed very powerful, and his methods are more difficult to deal with than those of ordinary extraordinary people, but the cost of casting spells is not small.
Curse magic is somewhat similar to prophecy magic. The higher the extraordinary level of the target of the spell, the greater the price to be paid; and once the spell fails, the consequences of the backlash will be greater.
Just now, Burrag was determined to kill Guy, so he used the most vicious [Soul-breaking Thorn] technique.
This move can defeat the soul of an extraordinary being of the same level and cause the target to die instantly.
But after failure, the backlash was tenfold.
He didn't understand why this move failed to kill Guy, but reality didn't give him the chance to think about it. Ten times the power of the spell backlash was fed back to the body, which was simply not the damage that any fifth-level extraordinary could withstand.
Burrag, with lifeless eyes, was already dead, and his body fell straight to the ground.
With a "bang", dust flew up all over the ground.
…
Burrager died, and Ryan, who was watching the battle secretly not far away, also breathed a sigh of relief.
He couldn't do anything about the curse, and in that crowd of people, he wasn't sure he could save Guy.
Now that Guy has escaped, even though he is seriously injured, there is no need for me to worry about him anymore.
Now that the enemy camp was in chaos, Ryan felt that he could do something else.
For example, rescuing Naretta.
