Volume Nine Thieves Guild Chapter Ten Evil Puppets
The intervention of these zombies did not frighten the high priest and the knight of light.
The place where necromancers play their greatest role is in large-scale battles. They can resurrect thousands of corpses to form an army of the undead that cannot be underestimated, and they can continuously replenish and strengthen the dead in battle.
After all, the number of dead people in the cemetery here is limited, less than a hundred. Luo Shimei did not hesitate to use the undead puppet technique at the expense of death energy. In the eyes of the priests, it was a stupid act.
Without getting orders from the priest, the knights of light surrounded Luo Shimei faithfully. As for the zombies, the high priest would naturally take action. Dealing with evil things was the priest's specialty.
The zombies crawling out of the graves moved with astonishing speed, as agile as tigers, wolves, leopards and other beasts, and they did not appear to be creatures with serious physical injuries.
Due to the stimulation of the dead air, certain microorganisms on the corpse rapidly differentiated and multiplied. The dead human cells bloomed with vitality again under the action of the microorganisms. The rotten flesh was even worse than that of ordinary people.
Much tougher.
Today's zombies are no longer normal creatures whose brains issue instructions and their bodies carry out metabolism to maintain life activities. The real control of their bodies has been transferred to those microorganisms. Therefore, zombies have completely lost their sanity, and their abilities cannot be measured by humans.
.
The high priest who spoke before said to his companion, another priest: "Hobert, I leave those unfortunate dead to you!"
He believed that Luo Shimei's purpose in activating the zombies was to disrupt everyone's attention and create opportunities to escape, so he immediately made a decision to let another priest take care of the zombies first. During this period, he would replenish the holy power to the knights.
"Yes, High Priest Lant!" The priest named Hobert responded and began to read the scriptures.
The group of zombies quickly approached the battle circle. Hobert didn't panic, because his magic could be completed immediately: "Great God of Light, please use your power to appease the blasphemed and restless people.
Soul, purify its sins——the Holy Light shines”!
After reciting the incantation, Hobert raised his hands above his head, and thousands of intense white lights burst out from his palms.
The white light fell on the zombies, and the expected situation of them being purified by the holy power did not appear. The zombies' movements only stopped for a moment, but they did not fall to the ground immediately.
Hobert made his mark. In the brutal battle, any mistake could be fatal, so he paid the price for his overconfidence, the price of his life!
The skinny zombie closest to him suddenly accelerated greatly, as fast as the wind. A dazzling green light drew out of its hand.
This green light filled Hobert's eyes, and it was the last scene he saw in his life.
Hobert's head soared into the sky. Blood spurted out from his neck, but the body still kept its hands raised above its head. But the holy light had disappeared.
The zombie who killed him was wearing tattered black night clothes and looked like he must have been an assassin before he was alive.
However, no matter what profession he is, he is just a zombie after death, and there is no distinction between professions. It is for this reason that Hobert was careless and suffered a murderous attack.
The zombie had a green dagger in his hand at some point, and what he had just used was clearly an assassin's skill that could kill with one hit!
This is no ordinary zombie. This is a zombie that can still use skills in life after death!
Lant, another priest who was in control of the overall situation, did not expect such a change to occur. His pupils shrank suddenly: "Evil puppet!"
There is a special kind of undead puppet. In addition to strengthening their bodies under the stimulation of death, their brains will also be activated and briefly restored to life. Even if they cannot regain emotions and rationality, the martial arts they practice day after day have become the body.
Instinct allows them to once again use the strength and skills they had before birth.
This special kind of undead puppet is the evil puppet.
There is no doubt that they are more powerful than the undead puppets, much more powerful! Even the high priest's holy light can only inflict wounds on them, but cannot knock them down immediately.
However, this top mysterious undead skill has only appeared three times in the history of the Kadi continent.
Seeing a high priest die like this, and those evil spirit puppets rushing towards them menacingly, the well-trained knights finally couldn't keep calm, and there was a flaw in the strict Holy Knight Demon Sealing Array.
The knight was in a state of confusion, and Luo Shimei would never miss such an opportunity. During the battle, she had already detected the weakest one among them, and when the next big skull was released, it flew towards him.
This weakest knight will become her breakthrough point.
Unfortunately, a beam of light suddenly passed in front of her eyes, blocking her way.
"Stay in formation!" The majestic shouts made the other knights wake up from their dreams. High Priest Lant's face was solemn: "We must not let the heretics go. Leave the undead and evil things to me!"
The hierarchy of the Inquisition was strict, and the knights did not dare to disobey orders and turn their attention back to Luo Shimei in the formation, even if those menacing evil spirits were about to become a threat to them.
Lant quickly recited a spell, and a huge beam of light with a diameter of at least fifty meters fell from the sky, covering the entire cemetery--Holy Light to Destroy Demons!
From the names, we can see the difference between the two skills of Holy Light Illumination and Holy Light Demon Slayer. The latter is more domineering and abandons the pedantic kindness. Lant regards those "unfortunate dead" as "undead evil things".
No more mercy.
Under the holy light, the evil spirit suffered heavy losses. Under Lant's blow, his body turned into dust and evaporated out of thin air, leaving only a bare skeleton, which naturally lost its combat effectiveness.
Rant then released a beam of white light with his hand, killing the surviving assassin evil spirit.
For Luo Shimei, this is not good news, because the dead in this cemetery were not very strong when they were alive. The most powerful one was the assassin who just killed Hobert. Even the evil spirit could not resist it.
The two high-level divine spells performed by the high priest must be known to have a great amplifying effect on evil power.
After witnessing the tragic death of his companion, Lant, who was calm and unfazed at all, was already angry: "Undead heretic, your sin has deepened again, and you will never be forgiven by the God of Light. What awaits you will be hell!"
Luo Shimei didn't say anything. In her eyes, those old guys from the Inquisition always liked to talk nonsense.
However, the old guy's magical skills were really tricky. He actually killed all the undead puppets at once, and he was also very smart. The opportunity he finally created was destroyed by him.
Luo Shimei had already lost a lot of energy during the fierce battle. The death energy required to drive the evil spirits was more than that of the undead, so the black energy on her body gradually faded.
Lant could also see that Luo Shimei was at the end of her strength, and waved her hand: "Go to hell to atone for your sins!"
After receiving the order, the twelve bright knights immediately launched another wave of strong attacks on Luo Shimei with their spears.
The Holy Knight's demon-sealing formation had no time to attack, so Luo Shimei had no choice but to use her strength again to resist with the death tornado.
Even though Luo Shimei's strength had dropped a lot, the Knights of Light still couldn't take advantage of the powerful attack with both super physical and erosion effects. The spears on their bodies were swung away, and one of the black tornadoes
A skull came wailing, and the white light on its body gradually weakened.
Lant has prepared magical spells with both hands, hoping to provide timely assistance to the knights.
However, at this moment, a cold feeling passed through his throat, and Lant's divine power retreated like a tide of vitality. He opened his eyes wide, and saw a dark shadow in the blur, moving towards his knights silently.
An assassin!
Not an evil spirit, a real assassin!
He would never have imagined that there were still people hiding in secret who dared to take action against the people of the Inquisition and protect a heretic.
Lant wanted to remind the knights to pay attention, but there was a rattling in his throat and he could not make a sound, and then he fell softly to the ground.
The priest's help did not arrive in time, and the skulls after the tornado disintegrated continued to invade the body, and the knights were shocked.
The death energy was so cold and vicious that their blood almost solidified. They immediately suffered a certain amount of trauma and their bodies paused.
Then a black shadow appeared behind them like a ghost, and the dagger in his hand ruthlessly slashed through the throats of each knight.
All this happened too suddenly, and all the unsuspecting knights were unable to escape their bad luck. They were summoned by the God of Death and died inexplicably.
Even Luo Shimei was stunned. Like Lant, she never thought that someone would save her.
Standing in front of her was a stranger. Luo Shimei definitely didn't recognize him, but she felt an unusually friendly aura.
After tearing off the skin, the lifelike face turned out to be just a mask. "Hey, long time no see, Sister Shimei!"
