Chapter 394 Ashbringer
The Soul Reaper's head was chopped off by Klauen, and the special effects of the Ashbringer immediately purified the enemy's body.
The enemy's gaseous body was ignited, as if a huge torch was burning in the air.
A faint soul shadow flew out from the corpse, and it could be seen that it was the Soul Reaper.
The soul's expression was hideous and fearful. Even the Soul Reaper, who had always spread fear and despair, knew fear.
As soon as the soul flew out, a hazy golden light appeared at the location of the Ashbringer's silver disc, wrapping up the soul and dragging it into the silver.
With the death of the Soul Reaper, the polluted magic circle he left behind quickly dissolved in the golden light field, and his soul became nourishment for the Ashbringer.
As soon as the Ashbringer was created, it devoured a sixth-order extraordinary creature. Perhaps this is the fate of this weapon. Its appearance is destined to be accompanied by the despair of dark creatures.
Soon, everything the Soul Reaper had disappeared, leaving only devastation.
Flanders only felt his mouth dry. He was fully aware of the enemy's strength even though they were separated by the Moon Soul Spiritual Light Array. The enemy could destroy him with just a flick of his fingers.
However, such a powerful enemy did not last more than two minutes in Crown's hands and was defeated quickly and without any delay.
He felt a sense of absurdity. Were they not facing the same enemy?
Clown descended from the sky, glanced around, and said with some regret: "Your mansion was not saved after all."
Flanders sighed and responded, "I am grateful to the gods for my life being saved. I dare not ask for more."
He looked at the rubble, sighed, and his eyes were full of helplessness.
If the people at home had stayed outside, perhaps things would have been much better, but by listening to him, they ended up killing everyone, and he felt guilty about that.
Perhaps some people can be rescued now, but the current situation in Rhine City obviously does not support this, and they have more important things to deal with.
“What’s the situation like elsewhere?”
Clown frowned slightly. "When I entered the cathedral area, I saw that the enemy's main target was the Holy Fire Cathedral. The situation there is not good. We need to rush there immediately."
Flanders nodded quickly and said quickly and urgently:
"Okay, let's go now. As long as I can adjust the defense of the protective array to the maximum, no enemy that enters the city will be able to escape.
Can you take me with you and rush over as quickly as possible?"
The protective array of the Holy Fire Cathedral can deal with fifth-level enemies. If he can activate the array's strongest defense mode before the Soul Reaper enters, he may be able to keep the enemy out.
In that case, the cathedral would not be in danger.
Clown said "hmm", and the tin essence in his body changed into a disc: "Come up, let's go."
When the archbishop stepped onto the disc, Crown opened his wings behind him and used the magic of flight as a power to lead the two to fly to the Holy Fire Cathedral.
Time goes back to a few minutes ago. When Crown rushed into Rhine City with great momentum, the powerful force of law emanating from his body attracted the attention of Somla, who was commanding the capture of the cathedral.
Seeing the familiar yet more imposing figure, the face of the chief witch doctor of the Kurud tribe immediately darkened.
When he felt the spiritual power fluctuations caused by the collision of the power of laws in the main battlefield in the distance, his heart sank suddenly.
The enemy's strength did not stop improving. The power of the laws he mastered was comparable to that of the Soul Harvester. However, the Soul Harvester was a supernatural creature at the peak level of the sixth order.
Judging from the results of the collision of the power of laws, the enemy is not at a disadvantage at all, so the enemy's realm is about to be revealed.
'This was not planned!'
Somla suddenly felt that things were out of control. According to intelligence, the city where the other party was stationed was dozens of kilometers away, and it was impossible for them to understand what was happening here.
Could it be that the other party just happened to have something to do and needed to come to Rhine City? It can't be so tragic, right? !
Before he could think too much, the outcome of the battle in the distance was decided. The fluctuations of the laws belonging to the Soul Reaper gradually disappeared, but the power of the laws like the scorching sun became even stronger.
"Retreat, everyone retreat.
Charles, you lead a team of soldiers to cover the rear."
Somla shouted and walked away without looking back.
The ending of the Soul Reaper declared that the enemy had freed up his hands, and the sixth-level gods' followers were all defeated. They were definitely no match for the enemy.
As for the possibility of the gods' reproach due to a failed battle, you have to survive to have any reason to worry.
Charles and Solo were leading the soldiers to attack the Holy Fire Cathedral. Because they were on the battlefield, they did not notice the battle situation in the distance, nor did they realize that the Soul Reaper's breath was disappearing.
At this moment, the magic circle of the church had been broken. Seeing that the door was open and they only needed to make a little more effort to break into the church, the witch doctor actually ordered a retreat and wanted to cover the retreat himself. Charles thought it was ridiculous.
He turned back angrily, only to see that Somla had gone far away.
After hearing the order from the witch doctor, Solo carried it out very resolutely. He immediately led his personal team to leave the main force and follow the witch doctor.
Charles realized that something was wrong. Although the chief witch doctor had become somewhat alienated from members of the Lionheart Family recently, he would not give orders recklessly on the battlefield.
He looked around and found the problem. The mighty power of the Soul Reaper in the distance had disappeared, and was replaced by a power of law that was at its peak.
Enemy reinforcements coming? Where is the Soul Reaper?
No one answered the questions in his heart, and Charles felt like the anger in his heart was extinguished by a basin of ice water.
The Soul Reapers are dangerous allies, and occasionally hunt down tribal warriors for fun, calling it "tasting fear."
Despite the opponent's various flaws, it is undeniable that the Soul Reaper is indeed very strong, so strong that he can suppress half of the tribe's strong men by himself and still have some strength to spare.
Now, the terrifying monster that always likes to show off its power has disappeared. Things must have changed unpredictably.
What is most difficult to accept is that such a change is actually very disadvantageous to them.
The Soul Reaper is a sixth-level creature, and it is the proud creation of the great Kusuun in his dream.
In order to deal with creatures of this level, one must be a transcendent of the same rank.
When did the sixth-order extraordinary creatures appear in such large numbers?
Marshall Lionheart also heard the order from the witch doctor and shouted:
"We have already breached the enemy's defenses, why don't you continue the attack?"
He had no idea why the commander had given such a stupid order.
Charles approached the family genius and whispered, "Retreat immediately. Things have changed. The Soul Reaper's aura is dissipating.
Just now, someone came into the city from outside, and he looked very much like the man who killed many tribal warriors."
Marshall's pupils widened and he asked in astonishment:
"Are we still going to stay behind?"
The Soul Reapers, who are followers of the gods, have all been defeated. He does not think he has the ability to resist the enemy, so he must retreat.
It's a pity that such a good situation was wasted. If the Soul Reapers could hold out against the enemy, the pagan church would have been breached by them.
Silly child, if you leave now, won't you lose your life?
No matter what the truth is, if the enemy can deal with the Soul Reaper, they will definitely send reinforcements here. If we don't retreat now, it will be too late.
Charles shook his head and said:
"Retreat immediately, don't hesitate, follow me."
After saying that, he immediately turned and left.
Daniel, who was leading his troops in a desperate defense, suddenly felt the pressure eased. He found that the enemy had stopped attacking and was retreating like a receding tide.
Because he was inside the church and was blocked by the building, he could not know the situation outside at the first time, but it was a fact that the enemy retreated.
Daniel narrowed his eyes, and his heart was suddenly filled with waves.
Something unexpected must have happened outside that he was not aware of. What he should do most at this time was to lead his troops to hunt down the cultists, thereby delaying the enemy's retreat and achieving greater results.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
But Daniel hesitated.
The enemy has already broken through the magic defense of the Holy Fire Cathedral. There is no need to play this game of playing hard to get. There is a high probability that he will tie down the enemy if he leads his team to chase and kill.
If they act in this way, they will face a very realistic problem. If the enemy realizes that retreat is hopeless, they will turn around and make a desperate attempt. They will be no match for them at all.
If the condition for winning the battle is to sacrifice his own life, Daniel does not want such a victory.
If he sacrificed himself, whether the world was prosperous or not would have nothing to do with him. What was the point of striving for a prosperous world without his participation? So, why bother trying so hard?
When Crown and his companions arrived at the Holy Fire Cathedral, the enemy's main force had already withdrawn.
The church's door was shattered by the attack of the escaped laws and fell powerlessly on the street.
Flanders said, "Put me down. I will go into the sanctuary and activate the maximum defense mode of the protection array. You go and chase the enemy?"
To be honest, the flying experience without any defensive measures is not good, and the faster the speed, the worse the experience.
The wind pressure was so strong that he couldn't open his eyes. When he tried to speak, he was immediately filled with wind.
Even with his physique as a fourth-level transcendent, he felt buzzing in his ears and dizziness.
Clown shook his head: "I will go with you to open the magic circle. We will talk about hunting down the enemy later."
Such a powerful enemy has reached the opponent's doorstep, but the protective array did not even notice it. He now does not trust the defensive capabilities advocated by the church.
Maybe the enemy he had killed was a special case, but he didn't dare to risk it again.
As long as the magic circle is opened as soon as possible, if the enemy has not yet walked out of the coverage of the magic circle, it will take some effort for him to get out.
The protective magic circle can be used not only externally but also internally. At that time, Rhine City will be the enemy's cage, and it will be easy for him to chase the enemy.
"Okay, let's go together."
Flanders thought of how the Soul Reaper had silently sneaked into the magic circle, and he felt a little scared.
If there are enemies lurking in the conversation, he won't be able to deal with it and will only die.
Daniel saw Flanders and the other man coming over and said ashamedly:
"My Lords, I am guilty of not being able to stop the enemy's retreat. Please punish me."
Flanders took a step forward and accepted the other party's bow, saying: "The enemy's strength is far beyond ours. Your Excellency's ability to defend the Holy Fire Cathedral is a great achievement. What crime have you committed?!"
In the past, Daniel was a staunch supporter of Pope Osman, but now that Osman has passed away, his relationship with the archbishop has gradually become closer.
The spiritual concentration of the world continues to increase, and Daniel, who has a relatively deep accumulation, has also entered the silver level and has become Flanders' right-hand man.
"What the bishop has done is indeed very good."
Clown nodded slightly. Just as the archbishop said, the other party had completed their mission by defending the Holy Fire Cathedral, so there was no need to blame them any more.
The strongest of the enemy had reached the sixth level. If Daniel had fought too fiercely, he might have died on the battlefield.
As for why the other party did not seize the opportunity to contain the enemy, he was unwilling to delve into it.
Clown and his companion entered the secret room of the sanctuary and activated the strongest defense mode of the protection array. A light red shield rose in the city again.
Flanders exhaled and carefully wiped his hands on his robe. His palms were still sweating.
"Alright, the protective array has entered its strongest defense mode. The array's detection capabilities have been greatly enhanced. It should be able to detect the creature you killed, right?!"
The Archbishop was not sure. This was their first time encountering the Soul Reaper and they knew too little about it.
Klauen frowned slightly and said:
"We don't know how that creature evaded the detection mechanism of the magic circle. For safety reasons, you should stay in the secret room for the time being."
Flanders shook his head slightly and said solemnly:
"At this time, I can't and shouldn't stay here. Only by going out can I give more comfort and courage to the church members.
The magic circle has been fully activated, and it will continue to operate as long as there is enough stored energy.
We go out and pick up the pieces.”
When a person is in a leadership position, he or she must bear certain responsibilities.
This is what it means to wear the crown and bear its weight.
The two walked out of the sanctuary. Crown raised the Ashbringer, and the smile on his lips was as cold and desolate as the eternal glaciers in the north:
"The enemy can't get far. With me here, they don't have to go back."
The cultists joined forces with the evil god's followers to attack the city. If it weren't for him, the city of Rhine might have already been crawling under the enemy's raging flames.
In this city, his relatives and friends live, and there are many memory anchors that make him concerned.
He hooked the fire cube, and the rose-gold wings behind him slowly spread out, revealing their appearance like a beautiful painting.
Tonight, the Ashbringer must drink the blood of his enemies. He will kill so many that they will be terrified and regret leaving the depths of the Andes.
Klauen released the breath of the fire dragon, infusing the hot life energy into the weapon.
The silver-white sword body reflects golden lines, exuding a hint of murderous intent.
He had no intention of letting any enemy go. With the hourglass, he could use the ability to go back in time to trace the enemy's whereabouts.
