Chapter 30 The Extraordinary Person Closest to God
Lordes' lightning swept across the city wall. The electric current hit the death knight and then ricocheted away, weaving a deadly grid among the living corpses that continued to climb up the city wall. It seemed as if it was hit by a hurricane and thunderstorm, and the first person to climb the city wall
All the living corpses were swept away. The battlements and towers were reduced to powder by the raging lightning, and were swept up into the sky by the strong wind.
Amidst the lightning and thunder, Lordes rushed towards the death knight brazenly. He was a spellcaster, but he fought with a ferocity that made all melee extraordinary people look at him. The lightning condensed into a scimitar-like shape in his hand.
The beam tore the death knight's shoulder armor and exploded into a large area of black viscous liquid. Judging from the location of the wound, the death knight had almost no flesh and blood under the heavy armor, and was completely a ball of black muddy material.
The commander of the dead was indifferent to the terrible damage. He raised the bone sword high, the horseman stood up, and swung the sword towards the ball lightning.
The sword made a deafening sound, and the sword blade struck the surface of the blazing white light shield, breaking into a piece of crystal-like fragments. Lordes, who was floating in the air, was even hit by the sword and sank.
Griffith, who was watching from a distance, broke out in a cold sweat. He saw the two inhuman creatures fighting fiercely on the city wall, and his heart was hanging.
Lordes is the core node and commander of the entire defense. He is a powerful and precise long-range firepower, and a significant assistant in tactical mobility, intelligence and communications. Once he is killed in a sneak attack like Witzleben, the entire defense line will be destroyed.
They will all be severely damaged.
The fight between Lordes and the Death Knight was astonishingly fierce. Both were extremely large. They were attacking each other back and forth on the city wall, leaving no room to dodge.
Extraordinary reinforcements are arriving quickly. As a powerful Sequence 5 Extraordinary, the death knight will enter the realm of demigods after advancing to the next level, with the possibility of touching the godhead. However, it is still dangerous to be besieged and attacked from both sides.
.It also launches a fierce attack without any scruples, trying to kill the extraordinary wizard here as soon as possible.
Lordes' situation is also critical. During the incident in the Whispering Forest, the team he led was defeated by a group of sonic boom bats that would interfere with spellcasting. Since then, the scholar must have summed up his experience and learned about the inability to
Preventive countermeasures were prepared for critical situations such as casting spells or being unable to chant in time.
The tactics of both the enemy and ours are basically the same.
Bayeran used middle and lower-level Extraordinaries and city defense troops to build a barrier to suppress the front, and then waited for an opportunity to use the extraordinary mobility and combat power of Extraordinaries to surprise the commander who attacked the undead creatures. The undead who had no intelligence against most living corpses
As far as the army is concerned, as long as the high-level undead creatures are eliminated, the zombie tide is nothing to fear.
The tactics of the Deathrattle Order adopt a targeted layout. They first attack with a large number of skeletons to transform the residents of the suburbs into stronger living zombies, and then attack the front with a huge numerical advantage and a few high-level undead creatures.
.In the face of such an attack, if Beyelan's side does not want to be slowly consumed, they will definitely concentrate on extraordinary people to implement beheading tactics.
The tactics of Erza and others were not wrong. The only omission was that no one knew in advance that the cult actually controlled an earth-burrowing demonic insect. After this extraordinary creature was resurrected, it ignored the defense line and terrain and cut directly into the Bayeran defense line.
Behind, the death knight personally attacked and killed the extraordinary wizard.
This is a gap between intelligence and battle preparation, which cannot be prevented by the on-site commander.
However, the outcome is still undecided. The time the Death Knight can use to kill the supernatural wizard is extremely limited. It must kill one before other supernaturals arrive, otherwise it will be surrounded.
Lordes certainly didn't expect the earth-boring demon insects to appear in advance, but he still took precautions against the possibility of being attacked.
The powerful magic shield and almost elemental form provide amazing defense and resistance. However, Lordes cannot chant most of the magic spells during this process, and his movement speed is obviously not high, so he cannot escape by running. He is alone
When one person fights against an undead creature of a higher level, he can only fight back with all his strength to gain time.
As long as you delay and try to save yourself from death, the overall plan laid out by the undead will go bankrupt.
The zombie tide is coming with all its strength. They come from the western suburbs, or emerge from the ground. They are the tentacles and power of the death knight, and they are a more terrifying threat than that huge bone sword.
Horus, who was retreating, stopped to join the blocking battle. His speed was not fast, and when he arrived at the city wall, he could only have time to collect corpses for one side. Moreover, under the attack of the surging corpse tide, only the Extraordinaries and the city defense army could attack.
The defense line could not be defended. Therefore, Horus once again led his Beyonders to provide support between camps. This time without the mobility brought by the phase prism, they could only fight as a group, combat efficiency and control.
The radius is also significantly reduced.
Lourdes, who had just been hit hard, condensed lightning in his right hand, forming a sharp blade like a beam. The fluctuations of the beam made a terrifying buzzing sound, as if he would be torn apart by a terrifying force if he came close, even if he was watching from a distance.
Griffith can feel the amazing power of the light blade.
Lordes raised the light blade, took an attack from the bone sword, and slashed at the death knight with his backhand.
The black horse neighed violently. The light blade cut off the death knight's left leg, knocking down its horse as well.
The death knight fell down like a mountain. However, in the process of kneeling, it suddenly raised its hand and pointed.
At the location it pointed at, a fat Stitched Corpse Monster had just staggered out of the burrow dug by the Earth-Burrowing Demonic Insect.
The swollen monster immediately shook violently, and then melted quickly like a candle. All its vitality evaporated like mist, flying in the direction of the death knight.
At the moment when the mist merged with the death knight, the newly severed left leg and horse body flowed towards the wound like liquid, shaking and condensing.
The death knight's wounds are recovering rapidly.
This is the devouring and healing that the undead path is best at. They will not hesitate to collect and devour the bodies of the same kind in battle to replenish their injured bodies. The recovery speed is extremely fast and the efficiency is amazing.
Lordes' face surrounded by lightning was blurry and his expression was unclear, but one could imagine how frightened he was. The death knight and war horse who had just been knocked down stood up again in the blink of an eye, looking down at him with cold eyes.
The evil power appeared on the bone sword. The black horse raised its front hooves and neighed like a dragon. The death knight charged forward and struck down with a fierce sword as it crossed the ball of light.
The moment the sword struck down, a bone-eroding chill and eerie silence suddenly took over the world. A moment later, roars and violent winds erupted.
This blow dispersed the air and smoke. The sharp and heavy sword tore through the light shield again with the blessing of evil energy. The phantom of a skull staff suddenly appeared next to Lordes in the form of ball lightning.
, sprinkling red dust in a burst of shaking.
Lordes was repulsed by the huge force. The pure white light shield showed shocking cracks and was even stained with scarlet dust. His movement and fighting speed were obviously slowed down. Even so, he was in such a state.
He didn't seem to feel any pain or pain, and he had no sense of fear. Even though he was severely injured, he still held his hands together, and the electric current gathered into a terrifying vortex, and then the spear that generated lightning in his left hand was shot at the death knight.
The power of this shot was far lower than expected. It only penetrated one part of the enemy's armor but was unable to penetrate deep.
The death knight laughed ferociously. He gripped the bone sword tightly and pulled off a piece of black cloth wrapped around the hilt. The joint between the hilt and the blade was a skull with goat's horns, and the corners of his mouth even showed a slight arc.
The sharp teeth are an eye-catching pale color. The open mouth of the skull is constantly surging with green evil energy.
The death knight pointed towards Lordes. An invisible long knife appeared in the air, and the brilliant blade slashed at the extraordinary wizard, making a frightening roar and tearing sound.
Lordes paused for a moment while being killed by the phantom of the blade, as if bound by invisible power. Then, the death knight's skeleton sword struck with thunderous force.
"boom!"
Lordes' light shield collapsed like mercury leaking out of the ground. Wrapped in lightning, he even began to show a clear human appearance, and could no longer maintain the defensive posture just now.
Groups of living corpses passed over the city walls and rushed towards the extraordinary wizard. The death knight also raised his bone sword again, preparing to harvest the lives of his prey.
At this moment, a bolt of lightning suddenly burst out in the darkness. A dazzling light flashed across the sky, and then a shock wave spread. Erza, wrapped in lightning, flew across the battlefield like a meteor.
She crossed the barrier of living corpses, jumped up from the corpses piled up on the stairs, and threw a lightning and thunder blow at the death knight.
The living corpses like a swarm of ants immediately gave up on the prey in front of them, huddled together and rushed out. They just hit the flying holy spear and were torn to pieces. The fragmented limbs and intestines exploded in groups.
Although they could not block the power of the holy spear, the hasty blockage gave the death knight a chance to dodge, and he blocked it sideways with his sword. The holy spear hit the bone sword and deflected, piercing the horse under its crotch.
The death knight was thrown away. As soon as it regained its shape, it raised its hand. The blood-red halo spread, spreading fear and abnormal excitement.
Under the city wall, the place where the dead earth-boring demonic insects broke out of the ground was shaken again. A large number of living corpses howled through the underground tunnels and crawled out from the hole. They were not affected by the bloody aura at all.
Hesitating and stagnant, using similar bodies to build a ladder to climb upward, the troops divided into several groups and rushed towards the extraordinary wizard on the city wall, as fast as a puff of smoke.
"Wizard, stand back!" Erza seized the short gap to intercept the Death Knight's attack, "Call everyone over to protect you."
The light surrounding Lourdes immediately dissipated, revealing his original human appearance. His black hair was soaked, and his face was full of exhaustion.
Seeing the smoke-like living corpse approaching, Lordes quickly cast a gliding and acceleration spell on himself, jumped out of the city wall like a bird, and headed towards a rooftop dozens of meters away.
Fly away.
The death knight held Erza in a stalemate with his bone sword and great strength, and raised his hand in the torrential rain of broken limbs that had not yet ended. The green ball of light between mud and fire flew out again, heading towards Lorde
Si crashed away.
Lourdes immediately noticed the magic rushing toward him. A light blue halo appeared on his robe, and the magic shield had been activated.
He has resisted this evil energy many times, but it is not powerful in terms of power, and the shield is enough to protect it.
Sure enough, the green evil energy was blocked by the shield again without causing any real damage. However, the powerful extraordinary wizard screamed while gliding, as miserable as a rabbit thrown into boiling water, and fell down directly.
On the ground, the moment he landed, the magic shield was still flickering with light and shadow.
The evil energy was blocked by the shield, but fear penetrated the defense. Lordes had previously been in a state of being almost an elemental creature and was blind to fear, but he was immediately severely damaged mentally when he returned to human form.
The death knight who succeeded in the attack was suddenly rolled up by the fog. The fog swept over the corpse tide, city walls and buildings, and rolled to the ground a few meters in front of the wizard. Immediately afterwards, four skeletal horse hooves wrapped in maggots struck the ground heavily.
A skeletal horse body, a heavy black vest, a horse head filled with the aura of death, and red eyes emerged from the thick fog. The just-killed army horse was resurrected again, even showing the shape of a skeletal army horse. The death knight sat high
On top of the terrifying skeletal army and horses, he directly captured the extraordinary wizard.
Lordes tore open a scroll in maddening fear and trembling, and extremely cold and blade-like wind surged out from the scroll, hitting the Death Knight head-on.
Wind Cone Technique!
The death knight's head was hit by a pre-made curse, and deep cracks were torn open on the helmet, revealing the dead gray flesh and bones. This powerful storm curse lingered even after tearing open the helmet, continuing to tear apart its
flesh.
The death knight seemed to be indifferent to the spell and pain. He raised his bone sword and pointed. The skeletal army horse jumped out like thunder and appeared above Lourdes' head in an instant.
A group of heavy horse hooves were raised high and stepped towards the prostrate wizard.
"boom!"
Bricks and stones were splashed, and the cobblestone street exploded into a large crater as if it had been bombed by a siege trebuchet.
But Lordes had been enveloped in a golden light and flashed directly onto a nearby rooftop.
After the golden light dissipated, Erza, with flying red hair, picked up the still trembling extraordinary wizard and threw it away. She raised the spear in her hand and pointed at the death knight.
An invisible black hole appeared in the air, and both voice and will seemed to be attracted and bound by this golden spear.
The skeletal army horse immediately let out a loud roar and disappeared into the mist carrying the charioteer.
Just a moment later, a four-meter-tall giant shadow appeared behind Valkyrie. The death knight raised the bone sword in his hand and struck Erza with a sword.
"Boom!"
The bone sword struck the golden buckler. The shock wave visible to the naked eye almost crushed the roof under the feet and nearby into rubble.
Erza blocked the sword and immediately turned into a shadow and jumped back. Her skills were extremely agile and agile, and she had already adjusted her projection posture in the air, pointing the holy spear at the Death Knight.
"Through it, Valencinus!"
For a moment, the wind was fierce. Lightning like the creation of heaven and earth pierced the dark clouds, bringing about waves of rolling thunder. The dull air that was just like the weight of mountains just now was swept away, and a strange roar that was like crying filled the ears suddenly.
end.
The death knight immediately noticed the powerful spiritual energy gathering in front of him. This power was unable to dodge or get rid of, completely locking his aura.
It held the bone sword and struck out in the direction of the threat. The sword drew an arc, rolled up the pale sword energy and struck the flying holy spear.
"boom!"
Two waves of energy surged in the air, suppressing the fighting and roaring sounds that enveloped the city.
The death knight retreated continuously under this blow. A shadow suddenly appeared behind it and stabbed the death knight in the back of the neck with a sharp dagger.
Moreau arrived. Its blow was silent, but it pierced the death knight's neck in an instant. He didn't know what kind of poison was smeared on his dagger, and the death knight's wound festered like lava, destroying life and self.
The more completely contained it is.
Even a monster with strong self-healing ability like the Death Knight was severely damaged by such an attack. It let out an inhuman roar, turned around and swung its sword.
The sharp and powerful bone sword was like a reflection cut into the water. Moreau's shadow shook for a while and then disappeared. However, his deadly aura was still nearby, hiding in the elusive shadow, waiting to launch the next fatal attack.
attack.
Erza retracted her holy spear and raised her shield to block Lordes' front.
Extraordinary reinforcements have arrived. The Death Knight is certainly powerful, but in a three-on-one siege, even an Extraordinary of a higher rank will be in danger.
"Hehehe, hehehehe," the Death Knight suddenly laughed ferociously, "Do you feel that you have finally caught up and taken the initiative again, so that you can fight against the warriors of the King of the Undead, right?
"Shield, energy, flash, concealment, what ridiculous abilities. Is this the sad level of your understanding of mystery?
"Open your eyes and watch carefully. Among all the extraordinary sequences, we death knights are the ones closest to gods."
Its right hand is held empty, as if it captures everyone's soul.
One second, two seconds...just when everyone thought nothing happened.
"Ho-ah!"
An extremely miserable and terrifying howl sounded. On such a horrific and bloody battlefield, this would have been an ordinary tragedy. However, this howl appeared inside Raven's city wall.
The roads and roofs in the city have been smeared with black blood, and from time to time you can see a ball of crushed internal organs. The city defense army is directing the civilians to carry the black kerosene, put it into wooden barrels and stack it for later use.
Many militiamen were running around nervously, with disgusting expressions on their faces.
Suddenly, there were waves of frightening howls from inside and outside the city wall, like hoarse voices shouting, mixed with some shrill cries like jackals.
"Ho-ah!"
Howls appeared one after another inside the city walls, on the ramparts and among the refugees.
An injured soldier had just wrapped up his wounds and was carrying supplies with others. Suddenly, he let out a ferocious roar, turned around and rushed towards the people around him. The civilians who were slightly injured and were hiding in safe areas
One after another, they mutated into terrifying living corpses. In the horrified eyes of their families, they opened their terrifying mouths and bit into the living creatures.
"Wow--!"
Screams and chaos immediately flooded the entire city, and even the three barriers outside the city were in chaos. The soldiers who had been fighting back bravely just now suddenly pounced on their comrades fighting side by side, biting their throats.
The death knight rode his horse proudly and approached slowly, tapping its scabbard with its hand and letting out a mocking laugh:
"This is the real death and plague, this is the power of infection and mutation. I am the agent of death, the embodiment of terror and despair, the strongest among demigods!"
At this moment, the living corpse seemed to be injected with violent and ferocious power, howling and instantly overwhelming the unprepared soldiers and residents.
These injured humans began to turn into corpses before they even fell down. They roared, struggled and twisted, then fell to the ground and twitched violently, and then stood up one by one, joining the endless tide of corpses.
