Volume 4: People who challenge the light Chapter 32: The Final Kill
Although we already knew that there was chaos in the Holy City and that the Temple of Light would definitely send experts to suppress it, when we were really stuck in the street, the luxurious lineup still made us all gasp.
An eighth-level silver-robed bishop, wearing a robe made of silver thread, with a faint silver glow, and a small and exquisite silver crown on his head. A sturdy tiger of light squatted beside him, which was much larger than the white-robed bishop. It seemed to be a mature pet. Two eighth-level light phantom knights, wearing armor as transparent as glass, even the spears in their hands seemed transparent, and it was really hard to find them if you didn't pay attention. They rode a light horse of the same type as the sky knight, but they looked more handsome. Two seventh-level white bishops, four seventh-level sky knights, a total of nine NPCs, the seventh-level professions were not inferior to the strength of the terror knights, and the eighth-level professions were even better. I'm afraid that even Red Star and Bat Gong and Bat Po couldn't resist them for too long. With the help of our magic weapons, Long Xingtianxia and I might be able to resist a White Cardinal and a Sky Knight respectively. Long Kong will definitely be dead if he encounters a Sky Knight. He can probably only "bully" the White Cardinal, but the enemy will definitely not give him this opportunity.
The worst thing is that we are now standing in the middle of a dead end. There are no other exits on both sides of the street except for the two ends. The doors and windows of the buildings facing the street are all closed, so we can't hide in them. Nine NPCs of high-level light professions are stationed at both ends, trapping us in the middle. No wonder the patrol team we just encountered suddenly became smart and knew how to fight and retreat. Not only did it take us a lot of time to deal with them, but it also led us to this "dead end". We were caught in a trap by the enemy and there was no way to escape. They used bait to lure us into a trap and dispatched such a luxurious lineup to encircle and suppress the invaders in full view of the public. They should want to show the strength of the Church of Light and recover the negative impact caused by our invasion of the Holy City.
On one side are the silver-robed bishop, a phantom knight and two sky knights, and on the other side are the phantom knight, two white-robed cardinals and two sky knights. They are slowly approaching us from both ends. If we deal with one side alone, we may have a chance of survival, but if we are sandwiched by them, only death will be waiting for us.
"Which side?" I looked at the silver-robed bishop and asked Long Xingtianxia beside me in a low voice.
"White Cardinal, with one less level eight profession, it will be easier to deal with. Remember to escape when you have the chance and don't worry about other people." Long Xingtianxia should have said the last sentence to me. He and Long Kong's mounts are not fast enough, so they will definitely not be able to escape the enemy's pursuit.
I nodded. In this situation, there was no need to be loyal and work together. If one of us could get out alive, we could continue to cause trouble for the Church of Light. "Okay, let's start." As soon as I finished speaking, I activated the "Chaos Ball" and trapped the Silver Robe Bishop and his men in the "Blinding Fog". Although the street was straight and the coverage was limited, the "Blinding Fog" also had the function of confusing the sense of direction. Unless we were at the edge of the fog area, we might be able to find our way out by feeling. Given the position of the Silver Robe Bishop and his men in the fog area, they should be able to get out in a short time.
At the same time, we started to break out and rushed to the other side. Unfortunately, the enemy started to advance as soon as they appeared, not giving us time to breathe. Otherwise, if Hongxing had time to charge up and launch the "Flash Combo", we would have a better chance of getting out. Hongxing and Fugong and Fupo rushed to the front, Longxing Tianxia and Longkong followed closely behind, and I was at the end. There was not much difference in the number of people. The key was to see how capable the eighth-level Phantom Knight was. If Hongxing alone could not entangle him, it would be difficult for us to retreat unscathed. Even if we were not completely wiped out, we would at least have to pay some price.
The reality is cruel. The gap in strength is enormous. The two white cardinals and the sky knight are still advancing slowly, while the Phantom Knight accelerated forward alone and shattered our fantasy with one move. He used collision to collision, spear to saber, and actually knocked Red Star back several steps. However, he just staggered a few times and did not retreat a single step. Although theoretically Red Star is currently only a larval stage of the terrifying Red Spider Knight and is far from reaching its strongest state, he was repelled so easily. The strength of this Phantom Knight is too strong.
This was not what surprised us the most. As the Phantom Knight moved, a pair of seemingly virtual wings of light actually spread out on the back of the Bright Pegasus. Relative to its body size, the wings were not very large, like young wings that had not fully grown. They did not seem able to support the Bright Pegasus to fly, but its movement speed was obviously much faster than that of the Sky Knight's mount. It reached the front of Red Star in just a few strides.
Before the Red Star's retreat was stable, the Phantom Knight had already relieved the force of the collision. With a leap, he stopped the Bat Man and Bat Lady who were heading straight for the White Cardinal behind him. He waved his arms quickly, and the long spear flew. When it danced to the point where it seemed to disappear in my eyes, I could no longer see the figure of the long spear. Suddenly, he stretched out his hands and seemed to stab the long spear. The target should be the Bat Lady. Facing the "invisible attack" of the long spear, if you don't have considerable combat experience, it would be difficult to dodge its attack. And the bright horse flapped its wings, and it also shook its head and shot a white beam of light from the horn on its forehead, hitting the Bat Man. I didn't expect that the Phantom Knight's mount ability would have improved so much. The bright horse ridden by the Sky Knight can only release "holy light bullets". The eighth-level Phantom Knight is indeed very confident and heroic. It seems that he wants to intercept the three strongest high-level undead on our side by himself.
If he succeeds, our plan to break out will be declared bankrupt. Three level 5 players facing four level 7 NPCs with balanced professional configurations, I guess not even one of them can escape. Long Xing Tianxia slowed down his pace, raised his hand and threw out the "Poison|Dragon Spear", trying to use the artifact to dampen his spirit.
The Bat Lady was indeed a high-level blood bat. She took two steps back and successfully blocked the "invisible" spear with her ghost claws. The attack was blocked and the spear suddenly showed its true form again. However, the Phantom Knight blocked the way and it was probably impossible to break through with strength alone. The Bat Lord also encountered some troubles. In order to get rid of the Phantom Knight's interception, I asked it to rush forward even if it took a hard attack. Originally, with the level and strength of the Light Pegasus, even though it had grown a pair of small wings and its ability was improved, the light-related monsters were not known for their attack power and could not cause much damage to the blood bat. I didn't expect that the white light column could not cause any damage, but it had a temporary paralysis effect. Although it could not completely freeze the Bat Lord's body, it delayed its actions and failed to rush over to attack the Cardinal in White as planned, and also restrained the actions .
At this moment, Long Xing Tianxia's "Poison|Dragon Spear" had been launched. The Phantom Knight stopped moving, looked up at the green dragon that was tumbling and rushing over, and suddenly shouted, which sounded like a short and difficult spell. His body immediately glowed with a faint golden light, and a pair of white wings were faintly reflected behind him, which looked very much like the wings of the angels believed in by the Church of Light. Just looking at this shape, it was extremely majestic and imposing. He actually waved his spear and stabbed the green dragon bravely. It was not uncommon to be able to defend against the attack of the artifact. It was the first time I saw such a scene that he dared to actively attack the artifact with just one skill. If he had not been in his original appearance and had not transformed into an angel, I would have almost thought that he had used the legendary Light Knight's most powerful martial art "Angel Possession" beyond his level.
"Boom..." The Light Wing Spear faced the Poison Dragon Spear. The Phantom Knight once again demonstrated his strength in front of us. Although a pair of wings disappeared, apart from forcing him back a few steps and his body shaking violently, it was impossible to tell from the outside that the attack of the artifact had caused him any damage. He wasn't even poisoned at all. He was able to withstand the artifact attack of a top level five professional player without the help of external force. The difference in strength between him and a level seven professional NPC is too great. It's simply a world of difference.
Long Xingtianxia took back the "Poison Dragon Spear" without any hesitation, and threw it out again. At the same time, he shouted coldly to me who had rushed to his side, "Charge!" He was not stingy with his physical strength and used artifacts to attack continuously, which showed that he wanted to sacrifice himself to entangle the strongest Phantom Knight to cover our escape.
If the battle continues like this, Long Xing Tianxia's plan may succeed. Even if Long Kong cannot escape, I have a good chance of getting past the White Cardinal and the Sky Knights with Tao Tao's speed and the cover of Red Star, Bat Man and Bat Lady. Unfortunately, in Michael's base camp, it seems that the old man and Lucifer are unable to protect us. The means used by the Silver Cardinal broke the last glimmer of hope of breaking out. The "fog of blindness" that should have been pitch black in the back suddenly revealed a little light, and it became brighter and brighter, which actually dispelled my "fog of blindness" and quickly spread, covering this section of the street with a hazy white light.
A small white cross floated above the head of the silver-robed bishop. The light that dispelled the "fog of blindness" was emitted by the small cross. This should be a special item, an NPC that can use it! My heart sank immediately, and I could faintly hear Long Kong's inhalation. In Tianxia, ordinary monsters or NPCs generally do not use other items and equipment except for their inherent equipment and skills. Those who have this qualification, such as the black shadow with the "transmission star disk", are relatively important characters, specially granted, with different identities, and because the granted equipment items can be dropped after killing the user, such characters are generally very powerful. Look at this silver-robed bishop, while urging the small cross on his head, the white light emitted covers the entire street, while walking towards us calmly, without any sign of being affected. It can be seen that his strength is definitely not inferior to the phantom knight who easily resists the attack of the "poison|dragon spear".
Being enveloped by the white light, I didn't feel anything different, but I tried to activate the "Chaos Ball" again. As soon as a wisp of black mist appeared in the space, it was dissolved into nothingness. It was just a waste of an opportunity, and it had no effect at all. It seems that this small white cross is the nemesis of the "Chaos Ball". Even my most effective means of escape was broken so easily. I really can't escape this time.
The silver-robed bishop was strolling leisurely in the garden, but the phantom knight and two sky knights beside him were not so leisurely. They rode their horses impatiently and rushed over. Especially the phantom knight, a pair of small wings emerged from the light warhorse under his crotch, and he moved very fast and approached us rapidly.
After seeing the speed of the Phantom Knight, I completely gave up the idea of escaping. With Taotao's current speed, there is no way he can compete with them. These three level 8 professional NPCs are not ordinary people. They may be top figures. The Church of Light has sent out such a large force. They really value us. I think they know the identities of Long Xingtianxia and me, and they want to kill us to establish their authority.
We are willing to die, but we cannot just sit there and wait to die. Even if we die, we have to make the other party pay a price. The one closest to us is the Phantom Knight who is being attacked by the "Poison Dragon Spear". If we can get an eighth-level NPC to be buried with the three of us, this deal will be a big profit.
The two Sky Knights who are closer cannot rush over quickly because they have to take care of the two White Cardinals. However, if the situation is urgent, they may abandon the White Cardinals and rush to support the Phantom Knight. Moreover, the other Phantom Knight is approaching here quickly at great speed, and they all need to find ways to deal with it.
Fortunately, I have always been more frugal with my mental energy, and now I can cast "Summon the Undead" again. Two dark knights appeared near the white cardinal one after another. The order given to them was to chase the white cardinal and attack him desperately, using two to four and using their sacrifice to restrain the opponent's actions.
As for the Phantom Knight who is rushing over from the rear, I have arranged for Bat King to take care of him. We can't stop him with strength alone, but the blood bat has another life-saving skill - "Blood Evil". Although it has a similar effect to my "Blinding Fog", the "Blood Evil" sprayed out by the blood bat's original energy is far more than "Blinding Fog". I guess it can't be easily resolved by the small cross. We don't ask to kill the Phantom Knight, as long as we can delay his action for a moment and buy us some time.
The "Poison Dragon Spear" that Long Xingtianxia activated for the second time was broken by a pair of wings transformed by the Phantom Knight. He then launched a third attack. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the Phantom Knight was forced to retreat, the Bat Lady also rushed forward a few steps and sprayed out "Blood Evil". A cloud of blood mist enveloped him and his horse. Sensing the opponent's powerful strength and following my orders, the Bat Lady spared no expense. The range of this "Blood Evil" was almost twice as large as before.
The Bat Lord on the other side also stopped the Phantom Knight in time, and a group of "blood evil" of the same size also trapped the other party. As I expected, although the small cross of the silver robe bishop also had an effect on the "blood evil", it could only erode the "blood evil" bit by bit, and could not be quickly broken like the "eye fog". The Phantom Knight swallowed by the "blood evil" will not be able to perceive anything in the outside world, and temporarily lost the ability to attack us.
