Volume 4: People who challenge the light Chapter 19 Ambush
The poisonous dragon circled around the Archbishop of Light, wrapping him in a layer of dark green. It raised its head to the sky and rolled over, then dived down, penetrated his body, and disappeared into the Archbishop's body. The poor Archbishop was covered in green all over, and his kneeling body was also shaky, and he might collapse to the ground at any time. The light hole in the air that was gradually opening up suddenly shrank as he was attacked, and slowly closed again. The attack was completed, and with a "hum", the "Poisonous Dragon Spear" reappeared and returned to Long Xingtian's hands.
However, the Archbishop's disaster was not over. He did not give him a chance to breathe. Tao Tao's "Hellfire Ray" followed one after another. A dark red thin column of Hellfire burned his body without any resistance. It lasted for a moment. Several elite knights and bishops nearby woke up and reacted hurriedly, trying to block the "Hellfire Ray" with their bodies, rushing forward to attack Tao Tao, or using "Purification" to expel the poison for the Archbishop. Even the Archbishop who was severely injured slowly raised his trembling hands and tried his best to gesture as if he wanted to use some skills. But it was too late. The full force of the "Poison|Dragon Spear" was not so easy to bear. It caused double damage to health and physical strength. After being poisoned, the defense ability also dropped significantly. How could the Archbishop, who was already low in health and defense, withstand the continuous attack of the "Hellfire Ray "? With a "boom", the whole body was on fire and soon turned into a wisp of white smoke and dissipated.
We launched a surprise attack and killed the Archbishop of Light, one of the two small bosses. Only one Knight of Light remained. With the two divine weapons of Long Xing Tianxia and me, it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to stir up any more waves. We recalled Taotao, who was about to be surrounded, and cooperated with Long Kong and the Devouring Ghost to fight steadily and resist the enemy's offensive that became more crazy because of the death of the Archbishop. After witnessing his companion being killed as soon as he appeared and before he had time to do anything, the Knight of Light shouted angrily, dodge the entanglement of the Dark Knight with a few fake shots, and rushed to Long Xing Tianxia to kill. Although the speed of the unicorn white rhino is quite different from that of the glorious warhorse with skills, Long Xing Tianxia is obviously better in fighting skills. Even if he is forced to not have time to activate the artifact attack, the Knight of Light will not have much advantage if he fights alone under full defense. The two Dark Knights put on a posture of attacking the angel statue with all their strength, and it took seven elite knights and three Archbishops of Light to join forces to besiege them before they could barely stop them.
These people who participated in the mission were indeed the elites selected from the two dark professions. They fought against the larger force with the smaller ones, but they were not at all inferior. Not to mention the Magic Knight , although the overall strength of the seven Undead Wizards was not as good as mine, their combat experience and skills were better than mine. Even without the "Far Away" and "Phantom", they were still able to avoid the enemy's attacks by using reasonable movement and positioning. This kind of keen vision and judgment requires a long period of training to form. It is not something that a novice like me who has only played for a few months can master with a little bit of luck.
I sent a dozen Devouring Ghosts to help deal with the Earth Knight. The Bishops of Light were busy casting auxiliary magic. No one thought of attacking these inconspicuous phantoms floating in the air. Naturally, I would not take the initiative to provoke them. The targets of the Devouring Ghosts were all Knights. The loss of physical strength made the Earth Knight quite nervous. He seized the opportunity to attack Long Xingtianxia. The whistling spear repeatedly swept through their bodies, and even used skills to attack. After a lot of trouble, he killed four or five of them, which gave Long Xingtianxia a chance. He escaped and transformed into a poisonous dragon to attack again. The Earth Knight, who had turned green, was better than the Archbishop. He could finally sit firmly on the horse. However, Long Xingtianxia took advantage of the opportunity when his attack and defense abilities were reduced due to poisoning to fight him hard. Although the two Bishops cast "Purification" for him in time to restore his condition, he was already seriously injured. He did not dare to choose to retreat in the face of the threat of the artifact. He could only take the attack of Long Xingtianxia hard. It was only a matter of time before he was defeated.
The situation was very good. In order to hit the enemy's morale again and disrupt their formation, I asked a dark knight to retreat to my side to accumulate strength, shrink the formation and temporarily switch to defense, and then suddenly launched a "flash assault", breaking through several elite knights and bishops along the way, and slammed into the altar.
"Boom, boom, boom..." The Dark Knights were continuously charging, and the great force caused the altar to tremble slightly. However, a thin layer of golden halo lit up the entire altar, and the overbearing "Flash Assault" could not break through it. The golden twelve-winged angel protecting the center seemed to have no damage at all. I couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. The barrier set by the cardinal was really powerful. It seemed that it was not an easy task to break it. It was better to deal with these guys who were in the way first. It would be easier to gather everyone's strength. Anyway, in order to avoid being wanted, killing people was also necessary, especially for me and Long Xingtianxia. Once the artifact was out, our identities were undoubtedly exposed. As long as we could, we must not leave a single person alive.
The "Flash Assault" has stopped, and the altar is intact. However, because it is located in the rear, most of the people guarding nearby are Bishops of Light, which is a perfect opportunity for the Dark Knight to show his power. Just as he is about to command it to charge over, something strange happens. A big hole suddenly appears above the altar, and a white beam of light as thick as a bucket shoots down and shines on the Dark Knight. There is a loud bang, and the Dark Knight and his horse are blown to the side, and fall heavily to the ground.
All this happened so suddenly that I had no time to react. I was stunned for a moment. What kind of magic was this? How could it be so powerful that it could beat the powerful Dark Knight so badly? Who cast it? The most powerful sixth-level Archbishop of Light in the church was already dead. Those ordinary fifth-level archbishops simply could not have such power. Could it be that a master player of the Light Department was using a "fake artifact"?
"God! Please save these lost sinners!" Accompanied by a slogan full of "compassion for the world", several people came in from a side door next to the altar. The old man in the lead had kind eyes and a peaceful aura. He was wearing a white robe with silver lace. A delicate silver cross was hanging prominently on his chest. He was holding a white magic wand that looked like jade. If I was not mistaken, the round and shiny bead inlaid on the top of the magic wand should be a seventh-level magic crystal core of the light system. Even with my shallow experience, I can recognize that this is a seventh-level professional cardinal of light. Following closely behind was a tall and broad middle-aged knight, wearing a silver armor and holding a silver-shining spear in his hand. The spear body was also inlaid with a seventh-level magic crystal core of the light system. From this set of equipment alone, it can be judged that he must be a seventh-level professional knight of light, and he is definitely not an ordinary person who does odd jobs. He is an elite among NPCs. Following behind were two level six Archbishops of Light and two Knights of Light, dressed the same as the two small bosses that appeared before. Although they were not too powerful, their strength was undoubtedly very strong. Without the help of divine weapons, it would not be easy even for Long Xingtianxia to defeat them.
What's going on? Weren't they supposed to be meeting at the Cathedral of the Sun in Tokyo? How did they suddenly show up? Was the intelligence wrong, or... After recovering from my shock, I looked around blankly, and was met with the same confused gazes of my companions. Even Long Xingtianxia had a confused look on his face, staring at him and slowly retreating to my side.
Two level 7 professional bosses stood side by side in front of the altar, and the other four level 6 professional players summoned their pets, and the retreating Knight of Light lined up behind them. Fortunately, although in theory level 6 professionals can sign new pets, these level 6 NPCs of light still summoned glorious war horses and light civet cats, and they didn't seem to have a second pet. I didn't feel it when I was dealing with two just now, but I felt the pressure immediately when four or five appeared at once. And the two elite level 7 professional bosses should not let us off easily, and I don't know what kind of "surprise" they can bring us.
The enemy suddenly gained six powerful reinforcements, plus there were still fifty or sixty level five professional NPCs remaining in the hall. The power comparison between the enemy and us suddenly reversed. Although the nineteen of us have not suffered any casualties, we have consumed a lot of mental and physical strength. The summoned undead creatures have suffered relatively serious damage because they have been charging forward all the time. Some of them have even withdrawn from the battle. With the current combat effectiveness, let alone completing the mission, it is probably a big problem whether we can escape.
The Dark Knight, who had suffered a powerful blow, commanded his mount to struggle to stand up from the ground, but the shaky body showed that it was seriously injured and had little fighting power. There were several bosses around it, and I was afraid that I couldn't do anything even if I wanted to. I had no choice but to send it back to the "Dead Soul Space" to recuperate. Both the enemy and us stopped fighting and slowly separated. The nineteen of us gathered in the center of the hall, while the enemy dispersed around us and surrounded us, especially gathering more than half of the people in the direction of the main entrance of the hall, and it seemed that they wanted to catch us all in one fell swoop.
"Angels of light are always lenient to others. Although you dark sinners have offended the majesty of God and are not tolerated by heaven and earth, as long as you are willing to give up your sinful hearts and accept salvation to seek liberation, you can still return to the arms of God, get rid of your difficult and embarrassing situation and become the darling of light! Are you willing?" The white cardinal raised his arms high, and the angel statue on the altar emitted a layer of faint golden light projected on his body, which matched his pious and solemn expression, making him look particularly sacred and solemn.
He is good at singing and acting, and has a talent for performance. It's a pity that we are all stubborn people who can't listen to his preaching. While no one is disturbing us, Long Xingtianxia who was standing next to me made a gesture to me, and I nodded in understanding. The two magical weapons "Touch of Death" and "Poison Dragon Spear" were used at the same time, and the rolling black python and the flying dark green poisonous dragon rushed straight towards the white cardinal one after another.
Although he was attacked by two divine weapons, the Cardinal in White seemed to have taken precautions. As we attacked, he turned around and knelt in front of the altar, waving his magic wand in his left hand and holding the silver cross in his right hand, chanting loudly. The two Level 6 Archbishops of Light also knelt on both sides, one on the left and one on the right, and seemed to be praying devoutly. At the same time, three Level 6 Earth Knights rushed forward a few steps and guarded in front to prevent us from rushing over and attacking.
At the moment when the artifact was about to attack, a thick white beam of light rose from the body of the white cardinal and shot straight into the sky, covering his entire body. First, Long Xingtianxia's "Poison Dragon Spear" hit it, making a loud "boom" sound. With the repeated attacks of the poisonous dragon, the light column shook violently and its brilliance dimmed. Then my "Touch of Death" also entangled in the light column. The two artifacts joined forces, and the light column finally shattered with a "snap".
The protective light column was shattered, and before I could be happy, another light column rose from the body of the Cardinal in White, resisting the impact of the two artifacts. After a moment of struggle, it was shattered and then another one... I don't know what skill it was, but it was revived and continued to break. Five or six consecutive light columns withstood the joint impact of the two artifacts. First, the "Touch of Death" returned in vain, and the "Poison Dragon Spear" finally hit the body of the Cardinal in White, but it was already at the end of its strength and did not cause much damage to him. Although the "Touch of Death" is not known for its attack power, and the "Poison Dragon Spear" is not as good as the "Holy Cross" of the highest honor in terms of lethality, it is too abnormal to make the two artifacts work in vain.
Fortunately, although the plan failed, it was not the final killer. To be safe, I activated the "Touch of Death" while also using the "Pet Summoning". No wonder Long Xing Tianxia once told me that in a battle, whether you have the upper hand or the situation is unfavorable, as long as you are not at the end of your rope, you should try to keep a hand in case of emergency. Although I don't quite understand it, out of trust in him, I still did it , and I have been restraining the idea of summoning Red Star to fight a quick battle. Now the White Cardinal is within the range of my summoning. Let the Red Star appear next to him and suddenly attack. I don't believe that the White Cardinal, who has just resisted the attack of two artifacts, is still able to resist the lore of the terrifying Red Spider Knight?
Just as the artifact attack was cracked, a black mist floated by, and the red star appeared near the white cardinal, but the position was not ideal - I originally wanted it to appear behind the white cardinal, but summoning magic, especially summoning more powerful creatures, it is difficult to accurately control the landing position, and there are often some deviations. This time the red star is located to the left, and there is an Archbishop of Light in the middle. It needs to move a few steps to attack the white cardinal.
However, both pets and undead creatures still need a period of adaptation after being summoned, and cannot immediately execute orders and take action. The stronger the creature and the closer it is to the target, the longer the adaptation period. Therefore, Hongxing is still standing there stupidly, unable to move for the time being. Usually, such a short period of time would pass easily and would not feel so long. But now he is in danger, and what matters is taking the initiative. He stares at Hongxing and even sweats.
