Volume 5: Protracted War Chapter 61: Half-Possessed Light-Winged Knight
Glory dispatched twelve Knights of Light and eight Archbishops of Light. What was slightly different from the previous matches was that there were fewer players from other professions participating in the competition. It was an all-light profession lineup. I don't know if it was because of the combination of the two great artifacts that they no longer took me, the "number one wizard in the world," seriously. They didn't even send two archers who could effectively clamp me down. Although the archbishops also had long-range attack capabilities, the threat they posed to me was far inferior to that of archers, and they were relatively easier to guard against. Was this arrangement too arrogant, or were they confident and intending to show off the power of the light profession in front of me?
However, Glory's lineup can really be called luxurious, including Supreme Honor, Holy Heaven, Angels on Earth, the first and third ranked Knights of Light in the Church of Light, and the first ranked Archbishop of Light. Looking at the entire United League, except for me who may be qualified to fight with them, no one including Afeng is their opponent. In addition, there are four Knights of Light and one Archbishop of Light who entered the individual competition (and one is an Earth Archer who was unable to compete this time. No matter what purpose Glory has, it can be considered good news for the United League). They are absolutely qualified to shout the slogan "Who can compete with me" with confidence.
The match officially started. For the first time, neither side used long-range attacks to contain the other's actions, or cast auxiliary magic, or summoned pets to help. At this point in the match, the field was busy with their own strange scenes for the first time. I didn't waste time to test it. I didn't even summon pets. I directly used the most powerful means, "Sealing Spirit Card", to remove the seal of the green bone dragon and let go from the beginning. Glory's strength was there. Delaying it might cause casualties to the Tongxin League, which would simply encourage Glory's arrogance .
The dark green "Spirit Sealing Tablet" flew up into the air, emitting a dazzling dark green light, and then a large cloud of dark green smoke rose up. With a piercing roar and a loud "boom", the earth seemed to tremble slightly. The Green Bone Dragon was unsealed and appeared in front of the world for the first time. The "Spirit Sealing Tablet" that had completed its mission burst into powder with a crisp "pop" sound.
The Green Bone Dragon stood there majestically, posing a cool posture with its head held high to the sky and wings spread out as if ready to fly. However, it could not move for the time being because it had not yet passed the adaptation period. Even so, unlike other undead creatures that had already appeared, the Green Bone Dragon's unique shape had a huge visual impact. The millions of spectators in the audience seemed to be shocked. For a moment, all the sounds disappeared. After a moment of silence, there was a shocking roar, and there was an uproar. Except for Xue Wuxia, Afeng and others who had already known about the existence of the Green Bone Dragon, even most of the teammates on the field who did not know the details could not help but exclaimed - they only knew that I still had a powerful weapon that could fight against Glory, but they did not know what it was.
The people of Glory seemed to be shocked by the sudden appearance of the green-bone dragon, and were stunned for a moment, but after the roar of the Supreme Honor, they immediately woke up. Just as the green-bone dragon had just regained its ability to move, with Holy Heaven as the center, five archbishops quickly surrounded him and formed a pentagram shape. The six people threw a small golden cross into the sky together, and in the blink of an eye, they merged into one, gathering into a huge cross, flashing dazzling golden light, forming a light shield with a radius of more than ten meters, covering all twenty members of Glory. The main body of the cross was engraved with a statue of a four-winged light angel, who seemed to be drawing a holy cross on his chest. As the six archbishops recited the spell in unison, the four-winged light angel seemed to come alive, projecting a phantom in front of the cross, and his right hand began to wave slowly, continuously drawing holy crosses one after another, leaving a golden track.
At the same time, although the Supreme Honor and the Angel in the World and the other twelve Knights of Light had summoned their own mounts, they did not immediately mount up to attack. Instead, they all formed a circle, knelt on one knee, faced the light angel that appeared in the air, made a sincere prayer, and drew the holy cross in the same rhythm, as if they were collectively performing some kind of ritual. At the end, the light and shadow of the golden holy cross drawn by the light angel suddenly broke away from the track and went straight to the body of the Supreme Honor, completely sinking into his body, suddenly bursting out with dazzling golden light, which flashed and disappeared. Then, behind the Supreme Honor, two pairs of white angel wings suddenly appeared, waving slowly, emitting a glowing white light, covering the entire body.
The Supreme Honor flew up and immediately rode on the velociraptor . The white light expanded and covered the velociraptor's body. He completely ignored the green-bone dragon that had already flown overhead and was flying towards us, and rushed towards us at full speed. Immediately afterwards, Angel in the Human World and several other Knights of Light also gained the same ability one after another. They all took us as their target and launched an attack. When the Angel of Light stopped the virtual strokes and gathered his figure, and returned from the void to nothingness, seven of the twelve Knights of Light had already put on the wings of the Angel of Light. Different from pure "angel possession", this is a kind of "semi-possession" form that is transformed. I remember seeing it in the "Battle of the Holy City" before. At that time, an eighth-level professional phantom knight transformed a pair of archangel wings by himself. Now, six sixth-level professional archbishops of light can use six golden crosses to perform together, and they can actually add the state of the wings of the Angel of Light to the seven Knights of Light. This set of props must also belong to the level of "pseudo-artifacts".
As the ceremony was completed, the light angel disappeared, and the golden light shield emitted by the large golden cross itself quickly shrank, barely covering the six archbishops of light. At the same time, the Holy Heaven in the center of the pentagram array activated the "Angel Robe", which transformed into a four-winged light angel to protect the body, and expanded it to put the other five archbishops who were casting spells and seemed temporarily unable to move freely under the protection of the "body protection holy light", obviously preparing to resist the attack of the green bone dragon. The other twelve knights of light all charged towards our main formation, and the other two archbishops followed closely to support them, actually wanting to attack against attack, and bet on who could hold out to the end.
It is truly the highest honor. They refused to give me the opportunity to show my power. Seeing the Green Bone Dragon's strength, they made prompt decisions and used hidden means, putting on an all-out attack and defense posture, challenging our twenty with fourteen people. It was obvious that they had great confidence in their own strength.
Can the six archbishops headed by Holy Heaven really withstand the attack of the green bone dragon with double defense? Did they underestimate the strength of the green bone dragon and be too confident? Or is it just an empty city plan to scare me? Having personally experienced the bravery of Supreme Honor, I was also excited for a moment, and really wanted to let go of everything and take a gamble with him, but I soon calmed down, looking at the seven Knights of Light who had transformed into the wings of Angels of Light. Although the size and brightness of the wings of light varied slightly depending on the strength of the main body, Supreme Honor's was the most eye-catching, clear and bright, and closer to the entity, while the last transformed knight was just a vague faint light and shadow, indicating that different individuals can exert different strengths, but after all, they possessed some of the abilities of the four-winged Angel of Light. Under their full-scale attack, Afeng and the others might not be able to protect me. The most they would lose would be the loss of six archbishops and the loss of the half-possessed form of the Angel of Light. Once I met with an accident too early, the Green Bone Dragon would break free from control and return to the "Dead Space". In a fair duel without the help of external forces, the United Alliance would not have the slightest chance of winning. Even though I am not strong enough and I don't necessarily have to win for glory, but now that I am standing on this field and have activated the "Spirit Sealing Plate", I also long for victory and long for the huge price I have paid to be exchanged for the glory I deserve.
I didn't have the confidence to fight against Glory, so I chose a more reliable defensive counterattack, summoned the Green Bone Dragon back, and concentrated all my strength to eliminate the Supreme Honor group first. The Light Angel should have the strength of an eighth-level magical beast, but it can only exert a part of its strength in the semi-possessed state. With the cooperation of the sixth and seventh-level magical pets, it depends on whether they can stop the Green Bone Dragon.
I have summoned Taotao and completed a "Summoning of the Dead". I have arranged Taotao, the Terror Tiger, and the Mad Lion Knight to protect me closely. Glory will definitely choose me as a breakthrough point and launch a fierce attack. The other teammates have also arranged a defensive formation with me as the center to protect my safety. The hope of victory lies in the Green Bone Dragon. If it cannot effectively contain the opponent's Light Wing Knight in a semi-possessed state, I am afraid we will not have much chance of winning.
Glory did not send out its men to besiege the Green Bone Dragon, but dispersed and made a full-scale breakthrough with me as its target. The Light Wing Knight's ability was indeed greatly improved, often with one-on-two, and still had the upper hand. The strongest Supreme Honor still seemed to be at ease in the face of the joint attack of Afeng and Longkong, forcing the two of them to retreat step by step and constantly approach me. Our defense line was so fragile that it was not very useful in front of the Light Wing Knight. The angel rushed in front of me and threatened me directly. Fortunately, the loyal Chu Bawang stopped him at all costs, and Taotao and the two Terror Knights launched a counterattack together to force him back and cover my safe transfer.
Fortunately, with the return of the Green Bone Dragon, the originally precarious situation was immediately reversed. I did not let it hang in the air and spit out "poison|dragon flames". For the Light Wing Knight who was protected by the "body holy light", the effect of corpse poison would not be too significant. It was still most direct and effective to supplement it with physical attacks. Landing directly on the ground, attacking against attack, in just a few rounds of fighting, the Light Wing Knight riding the bloodthirsty bear could not withstand the full force of the Green Bone Dragon and retreated step by step. He wanted to delay the time of defeat by fighting in a mobile way, but we did not have more time to entangle with him. According to the tactics discussed in advance, Xue Wuxia and Yun Wuying had to work closely with the Green Bone Dragon to quickly snipe the enemy target. "Thunderbolt Lightning" and "Gathering Qi Strike" were used together. The Light Wing Knight, who was at an absolute disadvantage, had no ability to dodge at all. Under the three-sided attack, he immediately withdrew from the battle.
While the Green Bone Dragon attacked the Light Wing Knight, the Supreme Honor and his men were still insisting on the tactic of attacking and counter-attack, and they did not relax their pressure on me at all. They identified me as a breakthrough point, and Afeng and his men had to desperately block it, because they were generally at a disadvantage in terms of personal strength, especially when facing the Light Wing Knight, the gap was more obvious, and they paid a lot of unnecessary casualties for this. Because their positions were relatively scattered, the Green Bone Dragon could only deal with one at a time, and they were fighting with our team members, so they needed to be carefully controlled to avoid accidentally hurting their own people. Therefore, even though they had strong strength, the Green Bone Dragon could not give full play to its strength, and there was no way to quickly expand the results of the battle. This was also the wisdom of the Supreme Honor. Relying on the many abilities they had improved, they tried to fight with us in close combat as much as possible, and were unwilling to face the Green Bone Dragon easily.
We are racing against time because the Green Bone Dragon can only be controlled for ten minutes, and Glory seems to be in a hurry, and seems to want to kill me as soon as possible. I guess such a powerful skill similar to "inviting a spirit to possess" can't last too long even with the help of special props, and they also want to fight quickly. The Green Bone Dragon is certainly difficult to contend with, but I am relatively fragile. Both sides have their weaknesses, and it depends on who can hold on to the end.
The two water magicians, Shuiyunjian and Yinzhuangsugu, had already stopped replenishing my spiritual power and began to restore the lives of other teammates. Fortunately, we had an advantage in the number of people directly involved in the battle, and we could get a little breathing space under mutual cover, otherwise we would have been unable to resist. I did not try to cast "Summoning the Dead" again, and had to save more spiritual power for defense. The Light Wing Knight could rush to the front and attack me at any time, and the "Holy Cross" of the highest honor threatened me several times. The King of Chu and the Horror Tiger Knight had already sacrificed themselves to protect me. "Touch of Death", "Damage Conversion", "Three Shields Protection", "Transfer Phantom"... used all the protective means to escape death. Kong had an advantage in numbers, but could not convert it into a winning advantage accordingly. Facing the powerful Glory, even though I was a little unwilling, I had to admit that compared with it, there was indeed a clear gap between our Tongxin League and it.
In front of the powerful green-bone dragon, the angels put up a desperate resistance in the human world, but it only delayed the defeat for a moment, and had no choice but to drag the Guardian of the Heart to be buried with him. The time limit was up, and the green-bone dragon suddenly emitted a strong green light, disappeared without a trace, and returned to the "Dead Soul Space". However, at the same time, the large golden cross suspended above the pentagram array also flashed sharply for a few times, flickering, and then suddenly restrained the golden light, becoming dim and lightless. With a "bang", it also dissipated in the air and turned into nothingness. The six archbishops who activated the cross, except for Holy Heaven, who was still struggling to support, all collapsed to the ground, and it seemed that they had no ability to participate in the battle anymore.
