Heart of Empire Chapter 252: Assassination under the Holy Light

Verina's reaction had to be said to be very fast, and the first time she realized that something was wrong, she inspired corresponding defensive measures.

But too close.

The assassins had obviously planned for a long time, and they replaced the two guards guarding the door at some point, and waited for the moment Verina passed by.

They were fully prepared. They didn't use the guards' weapons at all. The daggers they drew out from nowhere were gleaming with black light. Shield of Light.

But at least it bought some time for the female knight.

She didn't immediately try to draw her sword and fight, which was obviously a bad move. While she was drawing her sword, the two assassins were fully capable of attacking her again. Escaping is even more impossible, sending the back to two assassins who can tell at a glance that the level will not be low to attack? That is a desperate idea!

So, she can only fight back!

Can't use a sword, and it's not like there's no way to fight back. When the two black daggers were about to pierce Verina's body, a burst of golden light was released again with the paladin as the core.

"Dispel the darkness! Fear nothing!"

,, two paladin professional abilities have been released!

, even from the name, it is an ability to strengthen one's own defense ability. After opening it, the daggers of the two assassins also just pierced Verina's body.

Under the combined effect of the armor worn on the body at any time, the light shields that were breached on both sides, and the means of strengthening the defense just opened, the damage caused by the first wave of the most ferocious sneak attacks of the assassins has already been reduced. was reduced to a minimum.

Even though Velina was still injured, she could still feel the evil toxin from the wound, invading her body. But at least, in a short period of time, her combat effectiveness will not be greatly affected.

Then, the ultimate counterattack came!

It is one of the professional abilities of a paladin, it can only cause damage to people of the evil camp, and will not have any effect on people of the good or even neutral camp.

When the two assassins who were ambushing her launched an attack, Verina, as a paladin, must have seen that the power used by these two guys belonged to the evil camp. There are very few killers who are not of the evil alignment.

It is precisely because of this that the professional ability of 'exorcism', which specializes in dealing with creatures or dead objects of the evil camp, comes into play.

With the paladin at the center, the positive energy scattered in all directions caught the two assassins who were just about to make up another round of offensive completely off guard. At the same time, as if being hit by a heavy hammer, they all flew upside down and fell on the walls on both sides of the aisle.

After relying on the effect to temporarily repel the enemy, Verina finally had a chance to draw out her long sword!

The knight's sword inlaid with golden gems on the hilt was held tightly by Verina with both hands. Raising the sword above the head, shining golden light sprinkled down: "Cut off the evil!"

Swing! Even if the life-threatening assassin on the left reacted, he couldn't make any effective resistance under the light of the holy light. Under the evil-slaying slash of the paladin, he was directly beheaded with a single sword.

At this time, the other assassin had just recovered from the shock of the exorcism.

His mind is still clear, and he knows that the assassination mission must be an irreparable failure. So, he turned around and fled towards the office building. There is obviously something on this guy that can increase the speed of movement. The whole person moves very fast, and at the same time his figure is hazy and erratic. Under normal circumstances, Verina, who is wearing a suit of armor, would never want to catch up with this assassin.

However, the paladin's means are not limited to that.

"Justice pursues!" There was another cry, as if a light spot flickered from behind the assassin. Verina didn't take a step to chase, but slashed a sword at the air in front of her.

At the same time, a golden lightsaber suddenly appeared behind the assassin, and cut it down along with Verina's movements!

The assassin was not aware of the danger at all, in fact he

I thought I could escape right away!

So, under the sword, the guy lay down on the ground with an expression of disbelief.

Verina leaned on the knight sword with both hands, her chest rose and fell slightly. The series of battles just now were reversed in an instant by her using various paladin professional abilities, but after this round of outbreaks, she was also a little weak.

She raised her right hand and whispered a prayer, a white light rose, and the effect of the ability surged between her palms. She touched the bleeding wound with her palm. Although it had no hemostatic effect, it was able to dispel the toxins in her body that were still eroding inward.

If Dane sees this series of battle scenes, it will definitely change Dane's previous impression of Verina's "low combat strength" - the release of these professional abilities, whether it is From the effect of the ability itself, or from the timing of the skill release selection, it can be called the best choice. This means Verina is by no means a novice, nor can she be a weakling.

The strong effect of the skill proves that she has enough hard power; the ability to grasp the timing is strong, which means that she must have quite a lot of combat experience.

Of course, Velina lacks some key melee attributes such as strength and physique ~IndoMTL.com~, which makes her lack of ability to use swordsmanship to fight the enemy head-on. But paladins are different from ordinary warriors after all. It is normal for Verina to compete in strength and swordsmanship with warriors of the same level. However, some of the professional abilities that paladins possess from the Holy Light are also incomparable to warriors.

It should be noted that some professional abilities of paladins may look like divine spells, but they are completely different from divine spells in essence. The core of divine art is the perception attribute, which is to communicate with the gods and a special existence to borrow power to form spells; but the paladin relies on his own charm attribute and uses his ability on his own. Paladins don't have the variety of spells that priests can use, and even some abilities that can achieve similar effects are not as good as priests. However, some of their unique abilities cannot be obtained by other professions, and they can bring great help in battle.

For example, when Verina was dealing with the assassination, she used the tricks just now.

Those two assassins are actually not too weak. They have all reached at least high-level assassins, that is, about ** level. The assassination launched at the same time is not so easy to deal with.

Under such circumstances, he escaped from the assassination at the cost of only minor injuries, and even killed the two assassins on his own. Verina, who was able to do this, could not be said to be weak in combat anyway. Patience and Chapple, who also had twelve professional levels, came to deal with the same situation, and they might not be able to do better than the paladins. (To be continued.)
