Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 225 Winster

"Disgusting smell, I hate holy breath, go to hell! Shadow growlers have nothing to fear!"

In the dark underground space, the death knight with withered white hair and fluttering waves waved the rune broadsword surrounded by dark energy in his hand. With the sound of breaking through the air, they rushed towards the paladin Peo and the dragonblood lizard.

The short-breathing paladin Peo, his face covered by fine scales twisted into a ferocious appearance, a pair of long eyes shining red light under his rough eyebrows watched the charging death knight vigilantly, with slightly trembling hands, Holding the shield in one hand, and soothing the neighing dragon blood lizard with the other, the rich sacred light began to envelope his whole body again.

——"Supernatural ability: Evil Shadow Strike!"

The moment the death knight controlled the nightmare and approached the paladin, the rune broadsword exuding a cold and nauseating greasy gas was wrapped in evil aura, and hit the pure gold shield of the paladin. The strong impact shook the paladin's entire body. Flying, the dragon blood lizard below also let out a mournful cry, turned and fled.

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

On the other side of the battle field, the ferocious badger who broke into the group of undead creatures first was covered with scratches all over his body, his blood-red eyes were beating with madness and bloodthirsty, his sharp fangs and claws defiantly attacked every approaching A distinctive imprint is left on the undead creature.

The cowards from the bottomless abyss were irritated and noisy like thugs, rushing into the undead creatures, screaming and roaring in dissatisfaction, using their sharp teeth and claws, like thugs in the market, fighting with the clumsy undead The creatures wrestled with each other.

——"Moon Arrow!"

Thorn, who was hiding behind the medium-sized fire elemental, was covered with fine cold sweat on his forehead. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain of his sternum collapse. With a thought, the silver-white cross on the Moon Goddess Blessing Pendant hidden in his collar The star flashed a magical aura.

Under the guidance of the spiritual light, a bright full moon quickly appeared in Thorne's mind, and as he quickly opened his palm, an arrow shining with moonlight appeared in his hand.

The nearly solid pure white arrow was immediately put on the composite longbow by Thorne, and immediately pulled the taut bowstring, jumping dark purple arcs and light orange flames spread upward.

"call out!"

When Thorne noticed that the death knight was driving the nightmare and rushed towards the paladin Peo, a fierce look flashed in the eyes hidden in the hood, and a pure white arrow jumping with magical energy left the string.

"boom!"

The magic arrow tore through the strong negative energy atmosphere, and with a whistling sound, it accurately hit the nightmare who pulled up a thick smoke and galloped.

The moment the pure white arrow hit Nightmare's front hoof, it immediately turned into a little light and dissipated in the air. The jumping arc and light orange flame spread to Nightmare's legs, causing secondary damage.

The nightmare that was hit hard, spewed out two streams of thick smoke from its nasal cavity, opened its big mouth full of evil teeth, and let out a loud hissing sound.

"boom!"

The nightmare mount whose legs were injured and lost its balance directly lifted the death knight to the icy ground.

——"One ring of magic: store and create light!"

The paladin Peo, who got up from the ground in the distance, immediately took out the silver holy emblem, and as the high-spirited incantation sounded, rays of holy light shot out from his pupils shining with light red light.

"Zizizi..."

The first fingertip-thick ray hit the death knight who had just stood up, like a hot red Luo iron imprint on the tender skin, and the owl smoke slowly floated out along with the death knight's painful wailing.

"Huh! Huh!"

Immediately afterwards, two consecutive rays full of holy radiance burst out from the pupils of the dragon-born paladin. The scorching holy radiance shone through the dark underground passage, forcing the death knight to retreat back and forth roaring.

——"Supernatural Ability: Lightning Breath!"

The paladin Peo took the opportunity to open his short beak and big mouth to spit out a cone-shaped lightning. The spit ability from the blood of the bronze dragon leaped with a dark blue arc, and instantly hit the death knight's wound torn by "Evil Breaking Slash". The dense electric current combined with the scorching holy aura continuously spread from the wound on the death knight's chest to the whole body.

The death knight, who had been attacked continuously, showed no tendency to fall despite the burning scars all over his body.

He got up and was shocked, the dark energy was like turning on the most powerful vacuum cleaner, converging towards his whole body at an extremely fast speed, the spreading holy energy was immediately suppressed, and the shocking wound was also nourished by the dark energy. Visible speed began to recover.

——"Spell-like ability: Fireball!"

The death knight, who resumed his action, leaped forward and landed firmly on the back of the crippled Nightmare. Just as he was about to launch a new charge, a dark red fireball from a washbasin reflected his long white hair and rotting flesh red. pale face.

"Boom!"

The blazing fire exploded, and the violent impact accompanied by loud noise made the entire underground space tremble. The nightmare from the other world screamed, and the burning body turned into a pure black light, and was forced to return to the original world. .

The dense smoke dissipated, and the embarrassed figure of the death knight appeared in the sight of the ranger and paladin.

"My lord, the great undead king Otis, your most devout admirer, Roaring Shadow, I beg your power to descend..." The death knight raised the rune broadsword with one hand, with vicious flames dancing in his eyes, accompanied him Crazy and pious roaring, the rich dark energy converged on his body again like a whale drinking a cow, and waves of terrifying evil energy spread throughout the entire underground space.

——"Second Ring Magic: Silence!"

Thorne, who had been prepared for a long time, flashed a ray of light from the holy emblem in his hand, and the light of divine magic shone. An invisible energy force field immediately centered on the death knight and enveloped him. His pious and crazy prayer sound seemed to be choked It stopped abruptly like a throat.

The death knight clenched the rune broadsword tightly, staring coldly at the half-elf ranger hiding behind the fire elemental with his vicious eyes burning with flames, and a ferocious twist appeared on his rotting face suddenly.

"Bang!"

The death knight threw away the rune broadsword, knelt on the ground with both legs, hugging his hair and howling in pain and depression.

At this time, a sharp arrow burning with flames galloped away with scorching heat.

"Pfft!"

The sharp arrow accurately sank into the death knight's eye socket, and the beating flames were instantly extinguished, replaced by flames and electric arcs on the arrow, centered on the eye socket, spreading to the surroundings.

——"One-ring divine art: the collision of the rhinoceros!"

——"Supernatural Ability: Smash Evil!"

The paladin Peo also took the opportunity to raise the last bit of strength in his body, and gently comforted the neighing dragon blood lizard. His pale red eyes narrowed slightly, and the sluggish dragon blood lizard seemed to turn into an afterimage, rushing towards the roaring angry lizard death knight.

"Pfft!"

The moment the dragon blood lizard knocked the death knight into the air, the long sword exuding divine radiance once again slashed a deadly cold light, leaving a fatal scar on the death knight's chest. In the middle, it quickly spreads to the whole body.

Target is dead!
Extract the soul energy of the target and get 15000 experience points!
Get 1500 practice points through understanding the battle!
……

Noticing the system's experience prompts, Thorne, who looked tense, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The composite longbow he was gripping tightly almost fell out of his hand under the relaxation of his body.

Suddenly, he noticed the twitching corpse of the death knight, and immediately endured the pain from the wound and walked towards the corpse.

Death knights are all formed after the death of a group of fallen paladins or lawful and good fighters who violated their oaths, and were transformed by evil people using dark energy.

Their souls were imprisoned in their remnants, tortured by killing and pain, and could not rest in peace.

And even if the death knights are killed, if their fallen souls are not purified, they will be resurrected again under the condensation of dark energy and continue to be tortured.

Unless one can guide out the goodness hidden in the deepest part of the heart, and then make up for sins or self-salvation, can one escape endless pain and make the soul rest in peace.

The flame of life in the eye sockets of the death knight lying on the ground was about to dissipate. He moved his arm laboriously, took out a black lacquered metal holy emblem from the gap in the armor, slowly moved it to the front of his body, and stuck it on the chest.

His slightly moving lips were pale and feeble, but he was still panting with difficulty, a hoarse voice came out from his rolling throat, and the words he spit out were weak and chaotic: "Indulging in anger... grief... and... despair...."

As the death knight struggled to utter every syllable, the flames burning in his eye sockets weakened a bit, and his heaving chest slowly returned to calm.

"His good heart was awakened before he died, and I could hear him longing for me to help him redeem this sinful soul." The paladin Peo walked up to the death knight's body and said with a heavy expression: "If If his soul is not completely purified, his fallen soul will definitely be used and reborn by Odyssey, so that he will suffer from killing and pain again.

A truly pure soul should ascend to heaven or return to the underworld after death, instead of being reused by evil people. "

The paladin Peo walked up to the death knight, bent down and took the holy emblem tightly held in the death knight's hand, and continued: "Although this holy emblem has been polluted by dark energy, I can still feel that it is hidden in the deepest place. A little kindness, his soul is worthy of my redemption."

After finishing speaking, he immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, pressed the silver holy emblem close to his forehead, and whispered the teachings of the God of Justice, a faint sacred light began to faintly emerge, covering the death knight's body at an extremely slow speed.

"It is said that paladins who retain a good heart will retain some obsessions in their bodies before they fall, expressing the reasons for their fall, their helpless actions, and unspeakable secrets."

Thorn suddenly remembered the legend about the death knight, so he glanced at the paladin Peo, then moved a few steps forward, bent over the death knight's body and began to search.

"Sure enough!" Thorne lifted the charred black armor of the death knight, and found a neatly folded and well-preserved special paper in the lining of the clothes, and wrote densely packed words:
This is a desperate war. I can't imagine the loss of Shuguang Town. Many noble and proud friends died in this war. I dare not list them one by one, because the tears have already made me unable to count.

My knights are dead, the land has fallen, and neither sword nor magic, claws nor fangs can stop the host of the enemy.

Today, I will die, not to avenge the dead, but to defend what I love--this land, this home, and the faith of the Order of the Dawn.

Evil surrounds me, darkness is eroding my will, it's time to embrace the darkness that disgusts me!

Let the intruders see my frightening figure, and let fear shake their hearts!Let them tell tales of vile victories against the Guardians of Dawntown!
Let Shadowsrowler be forever remembered as a fear-mongering death knight!
My origins have been lost in the darkness of the past, I was once a brave warrior, a paladin of justice and order, I was good and just, I was once a thunderbolt against all evil in this land, I He used to be the guardian of Dawn Town and the commander of the Dawn Knights.

Now, I am a death knight, with vicious flames burning in my eye sockets, and rotting flesh clinging to every inch of my skull, I am fearless!

My only regret is that my bones will not rest where they should be—a place both familiar and strange, like an ever-burning lamp to illuminate my deepest goodness.

Life wanders between two worlds, just like the stars hang in the sky when day and night alternate.

What is now, we know very little, what will be in the future, we know even less.

Day and night, the flowing water of time rolls away, bringing our bubble-like life to a distant place.

The birth of the new, the destruction of the old, emerge in the waves of time.The green mounds of a strong country, the vicissitudes of life, are just like the passing waves.

I am not afraid of death, even if my body dies, my soul lives forever.

Let my soul be a beacon to dispel the darkness and bring light, let my soul bring hope to this desperate land.

Now, let's go to war!

Dread Knights, charge!
……

"Stubborn little guy, the soul of the Shadow Growler cannot be redeemed, stop it, I want to take him to a remote place of extreme cold." After Thorne read the above content, suddenly a gentle voice came to him There was a sudden sound from behind.

Thorne looked startled, and immediately turned around to look vigilantly, and then saw a blurred head covered in a black cloak, like a deep starry sky, so he couldn't see anything clearly, so he asked subconsciously: " Who are you?"

"Who am I?" The black shadow shrouded in the black cloak glanced at Thorne and smiled gently: "The gods call me: Godslayer, my friends call me: Astral Insight, and I call myself For: The Ferryman, Winster."
