Light Spirit Epic Chapter 2733: Shadow Lord (6)
Chapter 2733 Shadow Lord (6)
Seeing the army of dryads rushing down from the mountain, Arthur smiled coldly.
Those tree-turned monsters are actually quite sluggish, with legs specialized from tree roots that are comparable to elephant legs, and every step they take creates a small earthquake on the ground. Their arms are the countless branches, and when they are highly activated with spells, even the hard branches can be freely swung like a whip, whipping everything around them.
They neither bleed nor feel pain, and a normal sword slashes at them like a tickling. Even with Arthur's Seraph holy sword, it is impossible to approach these giant monsters and chop them down without being counterattacked. These monsters are almost invincible, and Fernandez probably thought that as long as the tree demon was summoned, he could make himself invincible.
But.
While walking, Arthur continuously fired crystal guns in the direction of the Dryad.
"Oh, so dangerous!" Looking at the oncoming crystal gun, the cardinal manipulated the dryad to block. The tree demon branches covered with leaves and extremely dense arms easily blocked the crystal gun, and the highly poisonous crystal gun had no way to hurt Fernandez at all.
"Using that kind of poisonous thing, want to attack my body, one hit is fatal?------Unfortunately, it's meaningless if you don't hit!" he said. Still standing in the back row of the army of tree demons, on the shoulders of the tallest tree demon, it was closely guarded.
Arthur smiled again, and while walking to keep a distance from the Dryads, he hurriedly threw the crystal spear, still firing bursts around Fernandez. The tree demons gradually surrounded the king of knights, but the four knight golems around him were also fighting, and they fought with the tree demons. Although it was not evenly divided, they could at least block the army of the tree demons for a few more seconds.
A few seconds are enough.
When Fernandez discovered the problem, the surrounding army of locusts had already surrounded him.
"Huh? Get out of here!" he ordered, thinking the locusts would follow his orders.
However, the hundreds of locusts with crystal spear fragments were already undead animals controlled by Arthur. Not only did they disobey Fernandez's orders, they even flew towards the cardinal like a madman, and began to devour the branches and young leaves of those dryads!
Normally, the nature of locusts is not to eat things that cannot be eaten, so the familiar locust that was previously controlled by Fernandez did not kill Arthur immediately.
However, after becoming undead, these locusts are no longer limited by nature and become more "free". They only obey a simple command from Arthur - "eat"!
They eat trees when they see them, even if the Dryad is hundreds of times stronger than them. The dryads waved their branches and fought back violently, smashing the locusts into pieces, but the undead were not afraid of death, and still entangled the army of dryads!
And Arthur's side is ready. Unlike the previous necromantic crystal gun with highly poisonous poison, he enchanted [Flame] on the crystal gun this time, and it was a high-heat flame enchantment!
Whoosh! ------The fiery crimson crystal spear flew out, hitting the location of the tree demon controlled by Fernandez.
Fernandez, who was being entangled by locusts and had limited vision, didn't even realize that a dangerous flame crystal gun was shooting head-on.
As a result, the crystal spear that hit the branch naturally split instantly, turning into hundreds of burning crystal fragments, contaminating everything around it!
To say that the Dryad is "invincible" is naturally "invincible" compared to ordinary attacks. But Arthur's crystal gun has long been a fighting method beyond this era, and so is the [Flame] enchantment on it. The shards of the crystal gun easily set the Dryads on fire!
"What? How could it be!?" Fernandez exclaimed while waving his staff to drive away the locusts around him.
"Yes." Arthur sneered.
Yes. Can't go wrong. Dryads have the only weakness, they are flammable. And they become more and more flammable over time!
After all, that is not a normal creature that should appear in nature, but a puppet awakened by magic. The roots of these dryads are off the ground, and they stop drawing water from the soil. But they have to act, and every action consumes heat, which makes the transpiration that the tree demons have a hundred times more intense, and the water stored in the big tree naturally flows at an alarming rate!
Dryads who have lost their moisture and start to dry out due to prolonged action are naturally easily swallowed by fire. Arthur calculated the time, and only used the fire attack in one breath after seeing the branches and leaves of the tree demons become dry!
Not only that. The King of Knights threw three flame crystal spears in a row, igniting the locusts flying in the air. The maddened locusts grew even crazier, swooping on Fernandez and setting the cardinal's crimson robe on fire.
Fernandez screamed and struggled, trying to put out the flames on his body, but he didn't realize that he was caught in the sea of flames, and even the dryad under his feet had burned violently.
"Damn...! I'm going to take you to be buried with you------!" the guy roared. A dozen or so burning dryads pressed on Arthur, and the heat drove the King of Knights to the edge of the beach. All he could do was escape into the sea, but he glanced at it and knew that it was a death trap. There were swarms of fish in the sea, probably those piranhas who had almost eaten Arthur!
Arthur smiled and fired a crystal gun with his backhand, creating ice floes on the water. He dashed over a few steps, stepped on the ice floes, jumped, and landed on the boat lightly and precisely. Piranhas must also act according to their nature, and they have nothing to do with Arthur on the boat!
The Dryads rushed towards Arthur in a frenzy, thinking that this leap would catch the almost retreating King of Knights in time!
"Bye!" Arthur grabbed the edge of the boat with one hand, raised the other hand, and activated the alchemy glove. A powerful shock wave was shot forward, and its reaction force pushed Arthur's ship to gallop backward, and it jumped five yards in an instant! His alchemy gloves can still fire in a row, and under the advancement of several consecutive shock waves, he has been far away from the beach, and the swoops of the tree demons are not helpful to Arthur, they just plunge into the water!
It's over.
Wait, right? ------ What about Fernandez?
The tree demon that guy was riding also plunged into the water, so he also used the sea water to put out the fire on his body! Now he is in the water and seems to be waiting for an opportunity to sneak up on Arthur.
"Why are you courting death?" Arthur sighed, cut his palm and dripped his own blood, attracting a group of piranhas. The moment he saw the piranha approaching, he shot the crystal gun of necromancy into the water, and the piranha who was hit immediately became Arthur's puppet!
Fernandez didn't expect this move from Arthur, before he could surface, the necromancers had already caught him!
"Wait, uh, uh uh uh uh! Help! Help me!" A charred figure who had just surfaced in the distance was struggling desperately. However, it was too late, hordes of piranhas had already surrounded Fernandez, turning him into a pile of bones within two seconds.
Finally won. Arthur breathed a sigh of relief. The battle on the beach was over as he paddled back to the beach. The out-of-control familiars scattered as birds and beasts and fled to the depths of the forest. The army of corpses controlled by Arthur's necromancy stopped moving and stood there dumbfounded. Fragments of crystal spears are stuck on their bodies. As long as the magic power in this fragment has not been exhausted, the undead warriors will not stop moving. If Arthur understands correctly, "The Book of the Abyss: Mantra of Vision" gives Arthur the highest level of necromancy, and the consumption of magic power when manipulating undead is minimal, so these undead can continue to act for at least a whole day .
Although he knew it was an army under his control, he still felt very creepy looking at the corpses of humans and animals standing in groups...
Arthur glanced back, and the necromancers had found Fernandez's Tome of the Abyss: Untold Psalms. A bunch of fish swam ashore with the strangely shaped metal book and brought them to Arthur.
The King of Knights swallowed and walked up to wrap the book in cloth, picked it up, and put it in his luggage. "Unspoken Psalm" seems to be a very powerful magic tome. With its power, it can manipulate thousands of animals as familiars, and even wake trees to serve as tree demons. It is equivalent to having a a huge army.
If used in conjunction with Tome of the Abyss: Mantra of Vision, Arthur can manipulate not only the living, but also the dead, and this power will make him extremely invincible.
But if you want to have the power of "Abyss Tome: Unsaid Psalms", you must enter the Abyss Library again, negotiate with Mobius Maiyu, and exchange some kind of [price] for [knowledge]. That guy Mobius likes to buy and sell by force, and he just took Arthur's three-year memory as a "price" without authorization. This time, if I touch the "Psalm Unsaid" again, I don't know what will be taken away by Mobius.
Arthur shuddered. He's not lacking in strength to that point, so he doesn't plan to touch Untold Psalms for the time being. Naturally, books should be hidden. If such a dangerous magic book falls into the hands of the bad guys, the world will suffer more disasters—probably there will be another dark wizard who releases the plague out of thin air.
However, Fernandez just used the familiar (rat) with the Black Death to spread the Black Death everywhere. If you guessed correctly, the Black Death had another origin. Give the "Black Death" to Fernandez, and let that guy spread the plague everywhere, and there are other people.
Who was the culprit, Arthur hadn't had time to ask—and he couldn't have had a chance to ask. The Fernandez he saw was already a lunatic, eroded by the abyss and lost most of his sanity. Either way. In short, go to the church's "post station" and see if you can find old Zust who was taken as a hostage. Older vampire hunters may have more clues.
Thinking like this, Arthur crossed the army of necromancers and walked up the mountain. Unexpectedly, those undead warriors who were transformed from human corpses would still follow him, and at least ten undead were following him all the time.
"Okay, don't come in." Because he felt very uncomfortable, Arthur couldn't help but instructed when he pushed into the station. The necromancers then stood there dumbfounded at the door.
The king of knights shuddered and walked into the empty inn hall. It was dark and quiet, as if it was the quiet before the war. He didn't even bother to follow the blood on the ground to find the entrance to a basement. He knew it was a trap, but he could only find out. Because old Zust may be locked in the basement.
"Anyone?" Arthur, who was holding a holy sword and surrounded by four winged angel knight golems, walked into the basement.
"Um... um...?" An old man hummed in the depths of the dungeon: "Who is... who?"
"Zuster!" Arthur shouted from a distance, "I'm here to save you! Are you okay?"
"Save me...?" Old Zust groaned: "Is it Lord Aslan?...Wait! Don't come here! It's a trap!"
Pounds! It's too late ~IndoMTL.com~ The iron door of the dungeon behind Arthur slammed shut and was locked firmly. The entire dungeon was shrouded in darkness, and a deep cold breath began to permeate it.
"It's finally here." A voice said: "To be able to defeat Fernandez, the Saint of the Stone is really powerful."
"Stop talking nonsense and show your true colors, coward!" said the King of Knights coldly.
"Of course," a slender shadow in a black robe appeared in the depths of the dungeon, blocking Old Zust.
The pale-faced vampire bowed to King Arthur: "The Fifth Primogenitor, [Plague King] Valendrin, see the King of Knights."
"It's a blessing----" Arthur said halfway and shot a holy crystal spear out of nowhere, and before the other party could react, he used the crystal spear to penetrate the vampire's chest!
