“Swish!!”
As a legendary being, Brand swung his sword and it shone like the sun in the sky. The scorching light instantly covered the entire sky. At that moment, he seemed to become one with the world. Looking around, everything was covered by this holy light.
This is the field!
Feeling Brand's sword, Fang Zheng's face darkened. He finally understood the power of the legendary being that Shi Dong had told him about before. Frankly speaking, Brand's sword was plain and ordinary, and it didn't look that cool, and there was no particularly gorgeous light and shadow effect.
But when Brand drew his sword, Fang Zheng had a feeling that he was being pushed to the execution ground by the executioner, waiting for the judge's verdict, and then a sign was thrown down. Then the executioner would raise his axe and behead him with one blow!
That's right, when a legendary warrior takes action, it feels like he is pulling the enemy into a world that belongs only to him. And Brand's world seems to be based on "judgment", so it gives people such a feeling. No... In fact, it's not just a feeling.
“Hualala!!”
As Brand drew his sword, golden chains appeared out of thin air, rushing towards Fang Zheng and Masail behind him as if they were everywhere. Obviously, these chains were also the manifestation of Brand's domain!
If it were an ordinary Templar, there might be no way to deal with it, but...
No one can stop death!
“Hualala!!”
The golden chains were unable to entangle Fang Zheng and Masail. Instead, they passed directly through their bodies, as if they were just two illusory shadows that did not exist in reality at all.
"snort!!"
Looking at the chains that penetrated his body, Masail snorted coldly, and his body trembled suddenly. The next moment, countless thin mists suddenly emerged from under his dark armor and quickly spread to the surroundings. Under the erosion of the mist, the originally golden chains suddenly began to break into pieces. Not only that, even the world that seemed to be washed by holy light was instantly shrouded in a dark shadow. If the world just now looked like a majestic court of justice, then now it is more like a dilapidated graveyard trapped in death!
"puff!!"
Feeling the death force coming towards him, even Brand turned pale, flew backwards, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and collapsed to the ground.
"Father!!"
Connie opened her eyes wide as she watched the scene in front of her. She couldn't believe her eyes at all. Her father couldn't even take a single blow from the other party and fell to the ground with such serious injuries? !
Connie certainly didn't know that after Fang Zheng's soul stone was strengthened, the character's strength would gradually increase. And now Malthael possessed the dual powers of the Angel of Wisdom and the Angel of Death. After awakening, he directly obtained the abnormal, invincible and super cheating ability of the gap between life and death. Unless Brand obtained the power of death like the Nephalem in Diablo, he would not be able to cause the slightest harm to Malthael!
Not to mention, Malthael's power of death is extremely restraining to all life. No matter how powerful Brand is, he is still a mortal, not even a demigod. How could he possibly fight against one of the five archangels?
"I'll fight you!"
Looking at her father lying on the ground, vomiting blood, Connie glared at Fang Zheng fiercely. At this moment, she herself couldn't explain what she felt. Why did things turn out like this? She originally thought that as long as she could help the little angel break free, then this damn bastard would definitely get the punishment he deserved. But what was going on now? Why did this happen? How could he have the protection of an angel?
Could it be that I was really wrong?
“Aa ...
At this moment, Connie felt like she was going crazy. She had given up thinking and roared as she raised her weapon and rushed towards Fang Zheng. Angels, Holy Knights, justice, evil, she didn't want to think about it anymore. She just wanted to fight, fight, fight! !
Don't think about anything, just call! !
"snort!"
Looking at Connie who was rushing towards him frantically, Fang Zheng's face was gloomy and he snorted coldly. Then he raised his right hand and swung it forward. As he moved, Masail stood up behind him, and the pair of translucent wings behind him, which seemed to be formed by condensed mist, suddenly swung forward!
"call--!!"
The storm of death roared forward with Malthael's movements, and in front of this violent storm of death, Connie's lightning didn't even stir up a wave, just like a candlelight that went out silently. Then Malthael suddenly stretched out his hand and waved it forward, and the Soul Reaper immediately responded and pierced Connie's shoulder in the blink of an eye!
“Aaaaaaaah!!”
The intense pain made Connie scream. Her body began to shake wildly and her eyes turned white. Then, an illusory figure gradually emerged from Connie's body, as if being torn by the Reaper of Souls and trying to pull it out of her body. As Masail moved, Connie's body began to gradually deform. Her youthful face gradually became old, and her fair and delicate skin began to dry up like a tree. In just a few breaths, this young girl seemed to be weakened as if she was old...
Then, Fang Zheng threw his hands, and the next moment, an illusory soul shadow was pulled out of Connie's body by the Soul Reaper Scythe. She struggled desperately to return to her body. But the next moment, the illusory soul shadow was swallowed by the rolling tide of death and disappeared under the dark robe.
"No!!"
Seeing this scene, Brand also roared. He suddenly jumped up from the ground, raised the Blade of Justice in his hand high, and swung it hard at the Scythe of Souls!
"clang!!"
As a divine weapon, the power of the Blade of Justice was unquestionable. Under Brand's full-strength attack, the Soul Reaper also rose up, but Fang Zheng obviously would not let Brand succeed so easily. As Brand swung his attack, the power of death in his hand began to condense and entangled with the Sky-breaking Sword.
Then, Fang Zheng's figure suddenly flashed and appeared in front of Brand. He then raised the Sky-breaking Sword without hesitation and stabbed Brand's chest with force!
Facing Fang Zheng's attack, Brand gritted his teeth and rushed forward instead of retreating. He even gave up defense and held the Blade of Justice high with both hands, swinging it forward with force. He had decided that even if he was killed, he would definitely drag this young man to hell with him! !
But no one expected that at this moment, suddenly, a golden light suddenly appeared!
"boom!"
The next moment, a golden barrier rose from the ground like a wall, separating the two people. Faced with this sudden scene, Fang Zheng and Brand were both shocked. They raised their heads and looked towards the place where the beam of light was emitted. Only then did they discover that the statue of the goddess of order, which was originally located in front of the temple, was now emitting a dazzling and soft light!
Is this... the goddess appearing?
Fang Zheng tightly grasped the Sky-Breaking Sword in his hand with a gloomy expression. Although he was mentally prepared, he did not expect that the Goddess of Order would intervene at this time... What did she mean by this?
"not good……"
Looking at this scene, not only Fang Zheng's face was gloomy, but even Bishop Karl and Shi Dong's faces changed drastically. The more he looked at this scene, the more it looked like a replay of the Dark and Fallen Month - when Antonio confronted the Cardinals, he fell into anger because of the goddess's protection, and then the darkest and most chaotic period of the temple began. And now... Isn't this going to repeat history again!
However, just when everyone was nervous, suddenly, something strange happened.
"boom!!!"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the goddess statue raised her right hand, and a dazzling golden beam of light suddenly shone from the top of the scepter of order, shining on Brand. Then, a shocking scene occurred.
The Blade of Justice that Brand had been holding tightly in his hand broke free from its owner under the call of the light beam and slowly flew up. Then it suddenly flashed and disappeared instantly as if attracted by the light beam. After the Blade of Justice disappeared, the light of the statue of the Goddess of Order went out again, and the barrier that had originally blocked Fang Zheng and Brand also disappeared.
“…”
For a moment, there was dead silence all around.
“How could…how could this happen…?”
Brand looked at his empty hands, and for a moment he felt as if the sky had fallen. As the second owner of the Blade of Justice, he had of course signed a contract with the Blade of Justice. But just now, he could feel that the contract between the Blade of Justice and himself had been completely terminated! Not only that, Brand felt so weak, and the once powerful power was now leaving him along with the Blade of Justice.
What does this mean?
Is this the will of the goddess?
