Chapter 312
"Lightning Strike"
Boom—
The gray-robed mage raised his finger and aimed it forward; blue electric light condensed, turning into a straight, piercing lightning bolt that shot through the layers of undead in front.
"Defense Protection!"
A Paladin's pupils contracted, and he roared loudly; holy light appeared on his armor.
With a "crack" sound!
The lightning strike hit the armor on the Paladin's chest, and the faint protective light was shattered.
It easily pierced through the silver-white armor as well, shooting through from the chest and continuing to shoot toward a Paladin behind.
"Pfft!"
The Paladin's body was affected by the lightning, his whole body paralyzed and stiff in place, a charred hole clearly imprinted on his chest, and large mouthfuls of bloody foam overflowed from his silver helmet, and he fell to the ground with unwillingness in his eyes.
In just the blink of an eye!
A Third-Rank "Lightning Strike" easily killed two Paladins.
Making the atmosphere in the field change abruptly!
The terror and pressure brought by a "Hero Realm" level magic caster rushed toward them.
Third-Rank magic cannot be counted as high-rank magic, but it is still a realm that most magic casters without true talent can only reach by exhausting all their efforts.
The power of different magic released by different casters is different.
Therefore.
Even low-rank magic, when cast by some powerful magic casters, will show even more terrifying power and effects!
In the end, it is the "Magic Attack" value; placed in the Other World, perhaps it also needs to add the caster's power bonus for studying magic.
"Gerald!"
"Liota!"
The death of the two companions made the other Paladins who were familiar with them let out angry shouts.
Opposite.
"Hey, you just killed more than 10 undead in one go."
The black-armored knight reminded.
"What does that have to do with anything."
The gray-robed mage let out a hoarse laugh without caring: "Anyway, they are just a group of low-level undead."
"Oh, your opponent is coming."
Bang—bang—
A silver-white figure, like a beast rushing into a flock of sheep, easily slaughtered and crushed the large number of undead blocking the two sides.
"You damn scum!"
Remedios ran fast, turning into a white stream of light, quickly shuttling through the crowd of undead, approaching the direction of the two.
"Sky Slash!"
"Well done—Hard Strike!" The black-armored knight revealed excitement in his eyes, the ground under his feet collapsed instantly, and his body disappeared into thin air.
In the blink of an eye.
Accompanied by a powerful collision.
Remedios and the black-armored knight turned into two figures, one white and one black, and quickly fought together.
Whoosh—whoosh—
"Triple Shot!"
"Black" Pavel pulled the bowstring, the exquisite longbow flashing with magic light, and one arrow after another turned into a straight line, shooting toward the gray-robed mage.
"'Swarm'!"
The gray-robed mage waved his magic staff calmly.
A dense group of thumb-sized insects, like dark clouds, appeared out of thin air beside him, turning into a shield formed by the swarm, blocking the three incoming arrows.
Moreover, these swarms did not dissipate, but continued to surround the gray-robed mage, forming a force similar to defensive magic.
"Fireball!" The gray-robed mage waved his staff again.
Crimson firelight condensed, and an oval-shaped fireball the size of a head, burning with rolling flames, blasted toward "Black" Pavel.
"Explosive Arrow!"
"Black" Pavel's frighteningly sharp gaze radiated coldness; although the fireball's speed was extremely fast, it was far inferior to the speed of lightning.
Under his eagle-like vision.
"Black" Pavel easily locked onto the fireball's trajectory and shot the arrow in his hand.
He absolutely could not let the fireball fall into the crowd; once it exploded, it would cause large-scale casualties.
Whoosh—boom!
The fireball exploded in mid-air, forming a heat wave, which instead blew away some undead that were relatively close, and even swallowed them directly, turning them into ashes.
"Not an ordinary archer."
"A troublesome guy."
The gray-robed mage's yellowish eyes flashed; his somewhat turbid eyes noticed something for the first time.
Only to see!
In the chaotic crowd, there were three figures, approaching the direction he was in at an extremely fast speed.
"Red" Orland, Go-Jin, Clementine!
The undead blocking the three of them, just like the situation of that Paladin Commander before, could not form any obstruction at all.
Especially Clementine, who was wearing a black robe and had a slender figure; her speed was far superior to the remaining two, and her whole body radiated a sense of danger that made the gray-robed mage's hair stand on end.
However—
The gray-robed mage was clearly startled the moment he saw Clementine's somewhat crazy smile.
"Is there such an arrangement?"
The gray-robed mage muttered to himself: "Fifth-Rank Undead Summoning—Heavy Skeleton Warrior!"
A blue magic circle appeared under his feet.
Undead with rougher and harder bones, covered in armor, emerged from the magic circle.
Under the command of the gray-robed mage, they immediately fought with Clementine.
"I'm getting less and less able to understand the leader's thoughts."
Seeing Clementine, who was evenly matched with the Heavy Skeleton Warrior, a flash of sharp light passed through the gray-robed mage's eyes.
The shaking of the ground was getting closer and closer.
Go-Jin and "Red" Orland had already arrived not far away.
"Solve this magic caster first!" Go-Jin shouted loudly.
"Good!"
"Red" Orland grinned ferociously, holding a weapon in each hand, lowering his body, and his running speed accelerated again.
Seeing the joint effort of humans and demi-humans.
"Tsk tsk, I am truly moved by this spirit of yours, but unfortunately, your opponent is not me."
The gray-robed mage laughed coldly.
Bang—bang—bang!
A tall black knight, about 2.3 meters tall, holding a black curved longsword in one hand and a black tower shield in the other, ran forward with large strides from the rear.
Every time his footsteps fell, the ground shook!
A cold aura surged and merged into the battlefield, causing the hot temperature to drop by a few degrees, and even the rotting smell permeated in the air seemed to have been dispelled by a portion.
Inside the helmet with demon horns, on that rotting face, a pair of scarlet eyes flickered constantly as if blinking.
The thick malice and hatred for the living caused all humans on the battlefield to feel a sense of hair-raising fear in their hearts.
"Death Knight!!"
A voice containing horror in its astonishment rang out on the battlefield.
Everyone subconsciously looked at that terrifying figure rushing over, the thick negative attribute aura and the deterrent power brought by the high level.
Caused some Paladins and priests with weak minds to have cold hands and feet, and their bodies became stiff.
"Awoo—"
The Death Knight let out a loud roar, activating the special ability it possessed.
"Taunt"!
Go-Jin and the other, who were rushing toward the gray-robed mage, uncontrollably bypassed the gray-robed mage and rushed toward the Death Knight behind.
"Hehehe, fly."
The gray-robed mage's body floated into the air, giving up this area.
Go-Jin and "Red" Orland's expressions were ugly; they were completely unable to control their bodies and directly faced the Death Knight rushing toward them.
Boom!
The black tower shield smashed over, and Go-Jin was knocked back several steps.
"Roar!"
The Death Knight's rotting throat emitted a hoarse sound, and while knocking Go-Jin back, it swung the tower shield again to smash toward "Red" Orland on the side.
"Fortress!"
"Red" Orland hurriedly activated his martial art to block.
Buzz—
The twin swords collided with the tower shield, barely unloading the force; before "Red" Orland could retreat, a trace of black cold hair had already appeared before his eyes.
The black curved longsword in the Death Knight's hand flowed with thick black negative energy, and it swung down with the movement of its arm.
At this moment!
"Red" Orland's two weapons were already used to block the impact of the tower shield, and he simply didn't have time to pull out his arm to defend.
He could only watch helplessly as the sword blade was about to slash at his head!
In "Red" Orland's mind, memories of the first half of his life even surfaced.
I would actually die so simply.
However, being able to die on the battlefield, and even more so at the hands of a legendary undead, didn't seem bad.
This thought had just surfaced in his heart.
Whoosh!
A hurried whistling sound came from behind, and the arrow shot accurately at the Death Knight's shoulder where it was swinging the sword, causing an explosion.
The impact force spread.
The Death Knight was not knocked back, but the blow just now missed.
"Red" Orland retreated hurriedly, having a sense of horror at surviving a disaster, and turned his head to look in the direction behind him: "Thanks, Pavel."
"I'll assist you!" Pavel responded loudly.
"Roar roar!"
The Death Knight roared angrily, the vibrating sound waves dispelling the smoke and dust.
Go-Jin, "Red" Orland, and "Black" Pavel, the three of them, jointly launched an attack on the Death Knight.
Even so!
The three of them still couldn't cause effective damage to the Death Knight, and were instead forced to retreat steadily by the Death Knight.
At this moment.
The situation of the entire battlefield also began to become increasingly chaotic.
Not only was there a Death Knight, but following the Death Knight, there were also eight sturdy demi-human races.
Among them were two—they were actually the Water Elemental Ogre Long and the Earth Elemental Ogre Dui!
Besides these two demi-humans, there were also Blade-Armor Bugs, Stone-Eating Apes, beast-bodied quadrupeds, winged demi-humans, and other sturdy individuals.
These demi-humans were rotting all over, their eyes gray and defeated, clearly undead, but they all showed powerful strength and abilities far exceeding low-level undead.
"Everyone, be careful!"
"These are follower zombies created by the Death Knight; you must not be killed by them!"
Kelart used magic amplification, using a serious tone she had never used before, to spread her voice across the entire battlefield.
The follower zombies created by the power of the Death Knight reached a difficulty level of "51~54".
Their level was around 17~18, possessing half the level of a Death Knight; unlike ordinary infected zombies, the number of such follower zombies was limited, and the Death Knight could not create too many.
This force caused the Paladin side to suffer huge pressure.
"Peach" Isadelo and Gustavo, the two Vice Commanders, stood at the very front, reducing the pressure on the entire Paladin Order.
At the center of the circular defensive formation formed by the Paladin Order members, a group of priests were constantly releasing attack magic or protection magic.
"Cuiye, go assist those two Vice Commanders." Tang Zheng said to the Witch Cuiye who was standing guard beside him.
"Yes."
The Witch Cuiye quickly moved forward and left.
"Team Leader Tang!"
Captain Nigen's voice rang out, "Trouble summoning the Monitoring Authority Angel again; I can also summon one."
"And then deploy a combat-type Peace Authority Angel to assist!"
Tang Zheng responded with a serious expression: "No problem."
"4th Rank Angel Summoning·Monitoring Authority Angel"!
"4th Rank Angel Summoning·Monitoring Authority Angel"!
"4th Rank Angel Summoning·Peace Authority Angel"!
Dazzling holy light condensed.
Three Fourth-Rank angels appeared in the field; two Monitoring Authority Angels were placed above everyone's heads, casting defense enhancement magic on everyone.
Just like the name "Monitoring".
The Monitoring Authority Angel had a special ability to enhance the defense capabilities of all friendly forces within its field of vision; there were many humans in the field, so at least two were needed to cast enhancement on everyone.
Tang Zheng controlled another Peace Authority Angel, flying into the air first.
"All of you, assist Team Leader Tang!" Captain Nigen shouted.
"3rd Rank Angel Summoning·Flame Archangel"!
"3rd Rank Angel Summoning·Flame Archangel"!
"……"!
The 【Sunlight Scripture】 troops no longer held back, and everyone summoned Flame Archangels holding flame swords in unison.
With the Peace Authority Angel summoned by Tang Zheng as the lead, they led a group of Flame Archangels into the air to slaughter toward the direction of the gray-robed mage.
The Priest Corps led by Kelart all revealed shocked expressions, clearly feeling incredible about the power of the 【Sunlight Scripture】 members to all summon Third-Rank Flame Archangels.
"An 80-person Third-Rank faith-based magic caster troop."
Kelart's pupils shrank, and she quickly suppressed the shock that had risen, knowing that now was not the time to dwell on this.
The chaotic situation.
Gradually began to be controlled by Tang Zheng and the others.
Only the Death Knight, relying on its defense power of up to level 40 and a series of special powers such as the undead not knowing fatigue, completely suppressed Go-Jin and the others.
"Still not using the trump card?"
Seeing that the Death Knight had clearly appeared, neither Captain Nigen nor Kelart had any intention of using their trump cards.
Tang Zheng couldn't help but frown; what were these two waiting for?
Guarding against the leader of 【Zuranon】?
Now, as long as the Death Knight is solved, then the numerous undead spawned by the Death Knight will all perish, or turn into low-level ordinary zombies and dead-moving bodies without self-consciousness.
"No matter what situation they face, humans always have various thoughts."
Tang Zheng took a deep breath, while controlling the Peace Authority Angel to attack, while observing the entire battlefield.
Clementine really has a problem!
The entire battlefield gradually fell into a stalemate.
As time passed, the members of the Paladin Order who were scattered to face a large number of undead began to suffer casualties gradually.
Even with the continuous healing and magic enhancement of the Priest Corps, injuries could be recovered, but stamina could not be recovered, so "casualties" began to appear!
