Chapter 218: Immortal Star Sword



Gandalf briefly explained his encounter with Lin Zhongtian and introduced Lin Zhongtian's identity.

“Geralt of Rivia?” Radagast looked surprised. “I have never heard of this name.”

"That's normal." Lin Zhongtian glanced at him and said in a low voice, "Just like I have never heard of your name."

As he spoke, Lin Zhongtian walked into the tomb with a flashlight in hand. Looking at the opened coffin in the tomb, he said with a serious expression, "Compared to this, I am more concerned about the tombs in this mountain - they seem to have all been opened..."

When this topic was brought up, Radagast stopped worrying about the title and said quickly, "That's exactly what I wanted to say!"

"Gandalf, we are too late. The tomb has been opened and the nine Ringwraiths have been summoned to Dol Guldur."

"This is definitely not the work of a necromancer. Human warlocks cannot summon such a powerful evil force!"

"..." Gandalf glanced at him in the light and said calmly, "Who told you that he is a human?"

Gandalf turned around with his staff, looked at the broken iron fence on the top of the tomb and whispered: "Radagast, have you forgotten that the nine Ringwraiths will only be loyal to one master?"

Radagast stared at him blankly. "What do you mean?"

Gandalf sighed and said, "We have been deceived. The enemy has returned and is looking for an opportunity to gather his servants. The dwarves' mortal enemy, Azog the Defiler, is no ordinary Orc leader. He is a commander who has the ability to command an army. His appearance means that the enemy is already preparing for war. This war will begin in the east, and the location is the Lonely Mountain Erebor!"

Gandalf muttered to himself, then suddenly turned around and walked quickly in the direction he came from.

Radagast asked quickly, "Gandalf, where are you going?"

Gandalf said without looking back: "I want to meet up with my friends. I led them to the lonely mountain. Now they are in great danger. I can't sit idly by!"

Radagast chased after him, speaking in a serious tone and quickly: "But if what you said is true, then it is not only your dwarf friends who will be in danger...but also the whole world!"

Gandalf stopped at the entrance of the cave and frowned deeply.

"Radagast, you want me to abandon my friends?"

"Of course not."

Looking at the solemn expression on Radagast's face, Gandalf seemed to understand something.

"You mean to convene the White Council and take the initiative to attack Dol Guldur?"

“Ah?” Radagast’s eyes widened and he quickly waved his hands, “No, no, no, I didn’t say that! What I meant was…”

Before he finished speaking, Lin Zhongtian, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "Wait, I have a question."

Gandalf and Radagast turned their heads and asked subconsciously, "What's the problem?"

Lin Zhongtian said thoughtfully: "The so-called Ringwraiths you mentioned, are they wearing chain mail and silver armor, covered with black cloaks, riding on black flying beasts that are as ferocious as monsters, and wherever they go, there are dark clouds and shadows..."

Gandalf frowned. "Yes, have you seen it?"

Lin Zhongtian nodded and said, "I have indeed seen it!"

Radagast asked quickly, "When and where?"

"Now." Lin Zhongtian pointed to the cave behind them, "It's right behind you."

"……?"

Gandalf and Radagast finally realized that something was wrong and turned around quickly. They saw four black shadows emerging from the rolling gray clouds in the dark sky outside the cave, and they were like shadows falling from the sky, covering the tombs in the mountains.

"Ringwraiths?!"

"How did they get back to the Tombs?"

Gandalf and Radagast widened their eyes and quickly dodged, trying to avoid the gaze of the Ringwraiths.

But the four Ringwraiths that descended from the sky flew straight towards this side, as if they had locked onto their target.

Gandalf looked solemn: "It seems we have been discovered."

"Nonsense!" Lin Zhongtian frowned and raised the flashlight in his hand and asked, "Are they blind?"

They are really blind!

Radagast explained quickly, "The Ringwraiths' bodies were corroded by the Ring of Power, turning them into invisible spirits. Being in the invisible realm, they have a very hazy perception of things in the visible realm, especially the strong light, which can blind them. Sir Geralt, please aim the light released by the magic weapon in your hand at them. This will make them lose their way and give up the attack!"

“So there is such a thing!”

Lin Zhongtian suddenly realized, and then, under the wide-eyed gaze of Gandalf and Radagast, he turned off the flashlight, drew the greatsword behind him, and walked towards the cave entrance.

"But rather than dispelling it, I want to see how powerful this so-called Ringwraith is..."

"Don't be careless, Sir Geralt!" Gandalf hurriedly stopped him. "The Ringwraiths are in the invisible realm. Mortals and conventional weapons cannot touch them. Only weapons blessed by the elves or Dunedain of the First Age, as well as powerful white magic, can really hurt them..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Zhongtian had already arrived at the cave entrance, and swung the greatsword in his hand, slashing at the first Ringwraith that was rushing towards him from the sky.

“clang——”

With the ear-piercing sound of metal collision, the silver-gleaming broadsword and the flaming longsword crossed each other.

A surge of air erupted from the collision site, blowing up the black cloak of the Ringwraith and frightening the flying beasts beneath him.

The Ringwraith hurriedly pulled the reins, controlling the black flying beast under him to fly above the rock wall, and the long sword in his hand broke at the collision point, and the tip of the sword burning with dark red flames fell into the endless abyss under his feet.

At the same time, blazing flames attached to the silver sword in Lin Zhongtian's hand. The strong dark power corroded the magic spell on the surface of the sword, causing it to lose its disguise and reveal its true appearance.

It was a sword that was completely black and reflected the luster of black metal.

Seeing the black sword, Gandalf and Radagast's pupils shrank slightly.

"That is... the 'Immortal Star Sword' Angriveril?"

Gandalf couldn't help but murmur to himself.

Eol, the greatest elven swordsmith in the First Age, used meteorite that fell from the sky to forge two swords that could cut through iron like mud. One of the swords, named Anglachel, was given to Thingol, King of Doriath, in exchange for permission to live in Nan Elmoth. He kept the other sword as his own sword.

This sword is exactly the "Immortal Star Sword" Angriveril mentioned by Gandalf.

As far as Gandalf knew, Angwiriel was stolen by Maeglin, son of Eol, in 316 of the First Age, and disappeared at the Fall of Gondolin in 510 of the First Age, from where it has been since.

I didn't expect that after so many years, Angriviel would appear again.

And it is in the hands of this mysterious demon hunter!

Under the shocked gazes of Gandalf and Radagast, Lin Zhongtian swung the black sword in his hand, extinguishing the dark red flame burning on the sword.

Then he stomped his feet hard, and his body soared into the sky like an arrow, catching up with the Ringwraiths and the black flying beasts that were flying upwards. The matte black sword in his hand chopped down at the Ringwraiths' heads from top to bottom.

“Sizzle—”

With the sound of cloth tearing, the black cloak worn by the Ringwraith was cut in half.

The ferocious flying beast he was riding was also cut into two pieces by the sharp sword light. A blood mist exploded, and hot blood and smelly internal organs splashed in the air.

Lin Zhongtian made a seal with his right hand and rushed out of the blood mist under the protection of an invisible shield. He fell towards the rock wall, and the black sword in his hand pierced into the hard black rock like a knife cutting tofu, causing his body to stop.

The next second, the hard black rock wall collapsed, and cracks spread layer by layer like a spider web.

Lin Zhongtian's figure had already left the rock wall and turned into a stream of light rushing towards the other three Ringwraiths that fell from the sky.

In addition to being almost immune to physical damage, the Ringwraiths also have many terrifying abilities. Their breath is called "Black Breath" and is poisonous enough to make humans dizzy or even fatal. Their shouts can cause fear and despair, and they are surrounded by something like a halo of fear that can affect all living things.

During the great war that year, these Ringwraiths caused great panic and despair simply by riding their flying beasts over the enemy. Only a few people with great courage could face them and fight them.

At this time, under the influence of the 'Aura of Fear' and the power of darkness, dark clouds rolled in the sky, strong winds howled, and dark shadows covered the sky, and it seemed that the entire earth was shrouded in darkness.

Under the rolling black clouds, three black-robed and ferocious Ringwraiths rode on ferocious black flying beasts and rushed towards Lin Zhongtian who was holding a black sword and soaring into the sky.

As the wind howled, it seemed as if three underworld messengers from hell were arresting the human heroes who dared to resist.

The scene was epic even to Gandalf.

It would be better if Lin Zhongtian could have more power representing light...

As soon as this thought flashed through Gandalf's mind, the black sword in Lin Zhongtian's hand shone with a brilliant silver light.

The next second, the silver sword light instantly cut the oncoming Ringwraith in half, just like the first ray of sunshine after the rain, tearing apart the dark clouds covering the sky and the earth...
