Chapter 155 The sun is shining brightly!
At the same time that Shino Dragun saw Kasen Skullbreaker, the latter also saw the former standing on the battlefield.
A bloodthirsty smile suddenly appeared on that ugly face, and a pair of pupils burning with murderous intent seemed to be saying "We meet again."
Xino looked at him in disbelief, his eyes full of surprise.
Undead?
No--
That guy is definitely not an undead! He couldn't sense any undead energy from the ogre! Just at this moment, a tiny possibility suddenly emerged in Xino's mind.
This guy was indeed killed by himself!
However, not long after that, Kasen, whom he had killed, entered the Chaos Reincarnation Pool to receive the baptism bestowed by the "Flame of Destruction", and not long after that, he was reborn with a more powerful attitude, carrying with him the memories of his previous life!
This guy was reborn! And with the help of ritual magic, he quickly grew to adulthood! Looking at those fearless khal soldiers, Xino suddenly realized their way of survival, and finally understood why they, who were bloodthirsty, did not destroy themselves.
They used their short lives to please Kalmundus, and after death, their souls were sublimated and reincarnated as his warriors! What Kalmundus gave them was not eternal life, but it was no different from eternal life.
Because after death, they will soon return to the battlefield and face their opponents in a more powerful posture!
This is their way of survival!
If it was me who was killed at that time, I would probably end up like him, entering into this endless death...
"What a blasphemy..."
Xino swallowed his saliva and felt his scalp tingling.
Especially when he thought that if he lost to that guy behind the Chaos Gate, his final fate would most likely be the same as that guy, reincarnating in an endless cycle of life and death, and experiencing death again and again...
Even the demons born in the deepest part of hell couldn't help but feel that this was a bit too hellish.
Blue blood oozed out from under Valgur's shell, and suddenly condensed into frost, climbing up along the blade that pierced the false sheath, and finally touched Kasen's fingers.
Kasen, who was laughing wildly, suddenly looked stern and quickly pulled out the blade that was stuck in the head of the giant frost beetle.
Although his reaction was quick, he was still a step too slow, and in just a moment his fingers had turned into ice sculptures.
That is the curse that flows in the blood of the frost beetle! Looking at the finger frozen into an ice sculpture, Kasen suddenly grinned, clenched his right hand hard, and crushed the frozen finger to pieces! Seeing that the little bug on his back refused to leave, Valgur finally raised his head and roared angrily, and pressed his belly to the ground.
As he lowered his huge, bulky body, thousands of frost beetles began to crawl onto his back.
Kasen swung the blade in his hand and chopped down dozens of frost beetles that crawled to his side. However, facing the tide-like attack, even as the Chosen of Chaos, he was unable to resist for a while.
Seeing that the surging insect nest was about to submerge it, the ogre suddenly raised his head and roared, then threw the sword in his hand into the air.
With a series of "sizzling" sounds of metal collisions, the iron chain wrapped around his body was like a fishing line rushing towards the capstan, and was carried to the dome by the whistling blade!
At this moment, a pterosaur cavalryman whizzed by and grabbed the chain flying into the air, and then the reins were lifted up.
Under the traction of the pterosaur, Kasen, who was holding the chain, jumped into the air as if he was on an elevator before the swarm of insects overwhelmed him!
Seeing that the little bug lying on his back was about to fly away, Valgur roared angrily and spit out a breath of frost towards the dome! The mist that seemed like a solid object was like a waterfall flowing backwards, as if even the air was frozen into ice!
However, the speed of the frost breath was too slow after all, and was easily dodged by the howling pterosaur cavalry, without even a hair being touched.
A mocking and cruel smile appeared on Kasen's face.
Just as he was about to charge back after circling around the chain, a dense rain of arrows suddenly flew into the air! The whizzing sound of arrows breaking through the air was like locusts! The pterosaur hovering in the air had no idea what was happening, and was shot into a hedgehog along with the cavalry on its back by the whistling crossbow arrows!
"Gah!" The pterosaur, bleeding profusely, let out a painful howl, rolled uncontrollably in the air, and fell downwards.
At the same time, Valgur raised his head and opened his bloody mouth, biting the fallen pterosaur into a bloody mist with a crunch! At the moment when his life was hanging by a thread, Kasen loosened the chain in his hand in time and flew out with inertia, so he was not taken away by the giant frost beetle.
But even so, he was thrown out and fell hard, landing heavily on an open space a hundred meters away.
He smashed a deep pit in the cracked and dry land! Fortunately, there was thick fat as a buffer, otherwise this blow alone would be enough to send him away again after he was born not long ago!
Kasen staggered to his feet, shook off the dirt on his body, and tried to figure out what had just happened.
However, just as he raised his embarrassed head, he saw an elite army armed to the teeth appear at the end of his sight!
Those demon soldiers were all dressed in black armor, carrying square shields on their backs, and holding heavy crossbows that were half a person's height and engraved with inscriptions! As a former member of this maze, he knew the identities of those people very well -
That's the Black Dragon Crossbowman from Desperate City!
It is said that the bowstrings of the three thousand heavy crossbows are all made of the tendons of black dragons through the secret techniques of dragon hunters. They can easily penetrate the protective aura of silver-level warriors within a hundred steps! In terms of power alone, this thing is much more powerful than a musket. The only drawback is that there are only a limited number of them. After all, giant dragons are not common and are even more difficult to deal with.
Reggie Dragun previously announced that he had three thousand Black Dragon heavy crossbows, but it is hard to say whether there are actually two thousand of them. After all, no one has counted them one by one, and it is more likely that some ordinary bows and crossbows are mixed in to make up the number.
But no matter how many real weapons there are among them, the reputation of the Black Dragon Crossbowmen is well-known in the Leiming County area.
It is said that on the battlefield, even the famous Trident Knights had to avoid their sharp edge... Although even if the special characteristics of the Black Dragon Crossbowmen are not taken into account, generally few Knights would attack the crossbowmen's positions head-on.
Kasen Skullcrusher's pupils contracted slightly.
What made him afraid was not the Black Dragon Heavy Crossbow, but the fact that three of the four existing demon generals in the Thunder County Maze actually appeared here!
It seems that this maze has undergone significant changes during the time he was away.
Speaking of which——
He seemed to have not seen the hybrid shadow demon so far.
At this moment, Kasen suddenly realized something.
However, just as he was about to find a handy weapon from his side, a cold dagger had quietly approached his throat.
It happened in a split second, so fast that he had no time to react. A wisp of black smoke like a gauze blew his head off.
Looking at Thanos who suddenly appeared behind the Chaos Chosen One, Blancia, who was about to order the arrows to be shot, slowly put down the whip she had just raised.
At this time, Xino, holding a battle axe, ran over from a distance.
"Wait a moment--"
As soon as he finished speaking, the standing headless corpse and the flying head fell to the ground together.
Looking at Shino Dragun running from a distance, Thanos, who was standing next to the headless corpse, frowned slightly and said in confusion.
"Any questions?"
"This won't kill him..." Unexpectedly, he was still a step too late. Xino gritted his teeth and repeated his findings.
After hearing this, Thanos showed a surprised expression, frowned slightly and thought for a long time, but remained indifferent.
"It doesn't matter, it's just an ant," he said lightly, shaking the dagger in his hand, "I will kill him again when the time comes."
Even if Chaos' Chosen One could be resurrected again and again, that guy's strength could not expand indefinitely.
Ultimately, it is humans who determine the total amount of supernatural power, and God only determines the rules of distribution.
Although Thanos did not understand the deeper reasons, his experience told him that there was a limit to the favors from the gods that mortals could receive.
Otherwise, mortals would have no chance to participate in the war between Hell and the surface, and it would simply become a competition of which side can brag more.
As he spoke, he turned his gaze towards the Black Knight who was fighting fiercely with Grak, and licked the corner of his mouth excitedly.
Unlike that ogre.
That guy might make an interesting opponent!
Looking at Thanos who turned and left, Xino was speechless.
Just at this moment, a series of dark shadows rushed past him and followed Thanos' footsteps towards the Black Knight.
That is a corps of assassins loyal to Thanos.
Although their numbers were far less than those of the other three demon generals, no one dared to underestimate the power hidden in the shadows! Blancia, dressed in military uniform, stood under the flag of Desperate City, looking at the direction where the shadows disappeared with an intriguing smile.
She originally thought that Thanos was only planning to take action himself, but she didn't expect that he would move all his hidden tricks to the battlefield.
So much so that she couldn't help but wonder if this guy had secretly done something to the Demon King, or if the Demon King had some evidence against him.
After shaking off the descendants lying on his body, Valgur looked in the direction where the crossbow arrow came from, and a low voice and frosty breath floated out of his ferocious mouthparts.
“谢谢。”
那声音中并没有多少感谢的意思，毕竟在他看来就算没人帮忙自己也能解决那群四处乱窜的蚊子，顶多是得花点时间。
布兰希娅却不在意，只是微笑地说道。
“客气。”
话音落下的同时，她手中的荆棘长鞭向前挥出，完成装填的黑龙弩手再次朝着混沌大军的后方倾泻了一轮又一轮箭雨。
战斗还未结束！
希诺暂时无暇顾及其他，只是稍作喘息，便拎着战斧重新杀了回去。
哪怕卡尔曼德斯的仆从是不死的，用不了多久就会复活，想要关上混沌之门，他也必须在战场上击溃他们！而与此同时，战场的正中央，看着头顶嗖嗖乱飞的箭矢和魔光，众玩家们纷纷大呼过瘾和牛逼。
这场战役无论是规模还是烈度，都比之前迷雾森林的战斗上升了不止一个台阶。
唯一的遗憾就是建模单调了点，这次没有会飞的鱿鱼、倒立着走路的噬心魔以及扔石头的独眼巨人。
卡尔曼德斯的仆从更像是传统意义上的军队，由轻重步兵、骑兵以及弓箭手组成。
而那个长着BOSS模样的黑骑士，也完全是一副人类骑士的造型，完全没有那个身下长着触手的家伙看起来更吓人。
不过也正应了那句话，皮肤越怪人越菜，那个手持长剑的黑骑士看着其貌不扬，却明显要比之前的那个叫梅尔的疯语者难对付的多，居然和有着铂金级巅峰实力的格拉克打了个旗鼓相当，甚至隐隐占据了上风！
格拉克发出一声愤怒的咆哮，双刃战斧猛的一记横扫斩向了那黑骑士跨下的坐骑。
面对那如同奔雷般的一击，那沉默寡言的黑骑士却是不闪不避，只是轻描淡写的一个格挡便招架住了这看似致命的一击。
“铛——！”
金属交鸣的声音在战场上回荡，迸射的火花飞出了数米开外，就如同锻炉上飞溅的铁水一样！感受着虎口传来的疼痛，格拉克只觉一阵心惊肉跳。
刚才那一击他不但用上了全力，还激活了流淌在他血脉中的先祖祝福。
就算是钻石级的恶魔，强如雷吉·德拉贡本人，也不可能在他全力一击之下毫发无伤！然而这家伙不但接下了，甚至一点事儿都没有！
钻石？
紫晶？
宗师和半神应该不至于……
格拉克的额前渗出一丝汗水，完全看不出眼前这位的深浅，甚至感觉这家伙越打越强。
其实这不怪他。
来自混沌之门背后的神选根本就不是这个世界的生灵，所拥有的超凡之力也并非来自于这个世界，因此实力自然不适合用这个世界的标准来衡量。
身着黑甲的骑士俯视着他，手中的长剑沸腾着寂静的火苗，燃烧的铠甲之下却射出嗜血炙热的凶芒。
没有一句话的交流，双方就像达成了某种默契一样，眼神接触的一瞬间便再次厮杀在了一起。
纵使察觉眼前的对手实力在自己之上，格拉克也没有丝毫退却的意思，反而胸中的战意愈发高涨。
就在这时，一道黑色的幽影忽然从不远处飘来，就像影子一样悄悄蔓延摸向了那黑骑士的身后。
似乎预感到了身后袭来的威胁，那黑骑士猛地翻转手中的长剑向后一挥，在马蹄的后方画出了一道弧形的炎墙！
“乒——！”
呼啸的匕首好似砍中了一面实心的墙壁，没能穿透那燃烧的炎墙分毫！飘忽不定的黑影一触即退，就像被风吹飞的羽毛，落在十米开外的地上幻化成了一道人影。
胯下战马发出一声嘶鸣，手握缰绳的黑骑士神色略微凝重，一瞬间明显警觉了许多。
虽然从刚才短兵相接的交锋来看，那只影魔的实力明显逊色于他面前的兽人，但前者给他的威胁感却远远超出了后者。
看着披着黑色斗篷的塔诺斯，手握双刃战斧的格拉克咧嘴一笑，眼中闪过一抹明显的喜色。
缩短了握着斧柄的手与斧刃的间距，他摆出了准备混合双打的架势。
“没想到老子有一天会和你这家伙联手。”
把玩着手中的匕首，塔诺斯漫不经心的说道。
“我也没想到，你现在反悔还来得及。”
格拉克眉毛一挑。
“你怕了？”
塔诺斯轻轻冷笑。
“我的意思是，你可以一边呆着去，把这家伙让给我。”
最⊥新⊥小⊥说⊥在⊥六⊥9⊥⊥书⊥⊥吧⊥⊥首⊥发！
格拉克哈哈大笑了一声，嘲笑着说道。
“吹尼玛的牛！”
话音落下的同时，他的双脚猛的发力，朝着那试图拉开距离的黑骑士追了上去。
试图后撤的黑骑士再次被他粘上，只能放弃撤退的打算，挥舞长剑与那双刃战斧砍在一起。
与此同时，赶来支援的塔诺斯没有袖手旁观，两把匕首如同毒蛇一般吻向了那黑骑士的身后。
单挑变成了围殴。
面对两人一长一短的混合双打，沐浴在火焰之中的黑骑士纵使有混沌的赐福，一时间也是招架不住。
抓住了后者的破绽，格拉克手中战斧猛地挥出，不偏不倚砍在了他战马的脖颈！
脖子上的血肉被刮飞出去了大半，那战马甚至来不及发出一声嘶鸣，便一命呜呼地栽向了一旁。
身下的坐骑一矮，那黑骑士猝不及防地翻身落马。
他的铁靴刚刚着地，还未从地上站起便迎上了一柄迎面刺来的匕首，只能仓促架起长剑招架。
一击未成的塔诺斯并没有罢手，而是接连刺出了十数刀，并在一阵乒乒乓乓的金属交鸣声中借势一个后跳，向后飘去的身影定格在空中。
看着那定格在空中的神秘笑容，失去战马的黑骑士本能地感觉到了一丝不妙。
然而没等他反应过来发生了什么，那悬在空中的影魔便化作了无数道黑色的残影，以万箭穿心之势刺向了他。
“匕首雨！”
不断闪烁的残影就好像游走在空中的飞梭，前一秒还在直奔向那黑骑士的面门，下一秒已经从他的胸口钻出。
只一瞬间的功夫，那黑骑士的铠甲便被刺的千疮百孔，露出猩红色的血液与混沌的瘴气。
深受重伤的黑骑士单膝跪下，只能依靠那长剑支撑着身体，沉默不语的黑色甲胄之下终于飘出了一声凄厉的嚎叫。
那声音像是痛苦的哀嚎，又像是虔诚的祷告。
也就在那嚎叫声响起的同一时间，迷宫穹顶之下的空中忽然显现出了一道异像。
一颗燃烧着的头颅正俯瞰着大地，如太阳一般的瞳孔注视着下方，用炙热的视线灼烧着整片战场。
被那炙热的光芒照耀，无论是卡奥人战士还是兽人士兵都发出了痛苦的嚎叫声。
他们的皮肤冒着青烟，仿佛被点着了似的。
而与此同时，沐浴在那炙热的光芒之下，那黑骑士的力量却仿佛得到了升华，身上的伤口以肉眼可见的速度愈合着。
格拉克错愕的看着那重新站起的黑骑士，神色微微动容。
“这是……圣光？！”
披着黑色斗篷的塔诺斯脸色凝重，声音沙哑的说道。
“圣光不长这样……”
圣光不会灼伤活人，只会杀伤亡灵和恶魔。
而那灼烧一切的光芒明显是反过来的，除去混沌的神选之外，所有活着的生灵都平等的受到那光芒的影响……包括恶魔！反而是亡灵没有受到任何的杀伤！那更像是纯粹的太阳！看着重新站起的黑骑士，塔洛斯和格拉克再次架起手中的武器，一副如临大敌的模样。
那黑骑士摘掉了头盔，露出一张长满疱疹的脸，如疮疤一般的嘴角勾起了瘆人的狞笑。
忽然间，他用磕磕巴巴的声音开口说道。
“你们很强……获得了我主的垂青……不过也到此为止了。”
看着竖起长剑的黑骑士，拎着战斧的格拉克冷笑了一声说道。
“我还以为你是个哑巴，没想到你会说话。”
那黑骑士并不搭理他，只是面对着手中的长剑，口吐如同咒语一般晦涩的真言。
“吾名阿图姆，侍奉毁灭一切之火焰，燃烧一切之烈阳……带着荣幸去死吧！”
握在他手中的长剑如同燃烧的火炬，那浑浊而赤红的光芒更是如同坠入地平线的黄昏一样！就在这时，一道小巧玲珑的靓影忽然闪现在空中，猩红色的眸子散发着满含杀意的光芒。
“给我死！！！”茜茜的嘴里发出了一声压抑的低吼，娇小稚嫩的脸蛋因为愤怒而扭曲成了一团。
如同海浪一般的精神力在她的眉心凝聚成了一柄长矛，笔直地刺向了那黑骑士的头颅。
然而意外发生了。
也许是因为她的族人们正承受着烈日灼烧的煎熬，无法像以前那样向她献上汹涌澎湃的精神能力。
那股由精神力构筑的矛头就像错在了城墙上的牙签一样，非但没能伤其分毫，反而被那混沌的火焰反噬灼伤。
一股剧痛钻入眉心，飞在空中的茜茜发出一声痛苦的悲鸣，笔直的从空中坠向了战场。
The black knight named Atum simply glanced in her direction and sneered.
"Where are the flies coming from?"
Gluck glanced in the direction where the imp had fallen.
He didn't care about the guy's life or death, but what alarmed him was that the guy was unscathed by the Devil's mental fire! "It's a bit difficult..." Thanos shook the dagger in his hand and said with a twinkling eye, "If Blancia gets scared, we two may not be his match."
At first he planned to use this guy's head as a gift to the devil to make amends, but now he is in a difficult situation.
Grak stared at the burning sword in silence, his face gloomy, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Speaking of the Demon King?
The blood shed by the Blood Blade Clan was enough to prove their loyalty, but that guy never showed up from beginning to end...
Sissi, who was falling from the sky, felt dazed for a moment, and her shaky consciousness was playing before her eyes like a slide show.
She tried to flap her wings to stabilize the air currents that were passing by her, but her body simply did not obey her.
The backlash of chaos on her mental power almost burned her nerves, and she couldn't even feel her body below her neck.
Maybe she shouldn't have been so blinded by anger at the suffering of her people, maybe she should have been more cautious in her actions... But it seemed meaningless to say that now.
She felt that her speed was increasing, and she had already exceeded the critical point for a safe landing, and there was no possibility of pulling herself up again.
Feeling the increasingly turbulent air flow beside her ears, Xixi forced a bitter smile on her face.
Although the Nightmare Land has never had a queen who lasted more than ten years, she might be the shortest-lived one... and the only one to die from a fall.
It's hard to say which is more humiliating, this or being strung on a flagpole.
I hope the Demon King will be a little nicer to the Nightmare Land because she remained loyal to the Great Cemetery until the very end.
I also hope that Missy can shoulder the responsibilities on her shoulders.
Among all her subordinates, only that guy seems to have a slightly better brain, but he lacks some stability...
But these can be cultivated slowly.
Just when Xixi closed her eyes and almost accepted her fate, a warm and firm touch suddenly supported the back of her head.
The passing air flow seemed to be strangled by the throat by that powerful arm, and the momentum of its rapid fall suddenly stopped.
Feeling the heart-pounding warmth, Sissi opened her eyes suddenly, only to see an unexpected face.
"Demon, Lord Demon King?!"
Her face was full of surprise. She didn't understand why the Demon King was here, and she didn't understand why he, who was only at the bronze level, could fly.
To be honest, Luo Yanfei's skills were not that good, but he had no problem using air magic to drag himself up.
Don't say he is now at the silver level.
Even when he was at the bronze level before, he could do it easily with his understanding of spells and control of magic power.
"Does this count as returning the favor I did for you?" Luo Yan joked as he looked at the pretty face that was flushed with red.
The situation at this moment seemed to be exactly the same as when I was in the misty forest. The only difference was that I was the one down there, looking up at that relaxed smile.
Now, the two people's positions have completely reversed.
The difference between him and her was that the queen of the nightmare land was obviously not as calm as him, or rather, not as shameless as him.
That small and delicate face had turned completely red like a ripe apple, and had crawled over the crystal clear earlobes to the white neck.
He just thought of it as being exposed to the sun.
After all, he was not the only one who needed face, his vassals also needed that thing.
Sissi, who was always dignified and elegant, opened and closed her lips in panic, stammering for a long time before she squeezed out a word.
"Demon, Demon King... You, you shouldn't come here. That guy... You are no match for him..."
Luo Yan raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Who gave you permission to say that?"
"I'm sorry! Please forgive my rudeness... I, I, I... I was just worried about you..." Realizing her gaffe, Xixi buried her head in shame, wishing she could break free and bang her head against the ground and die.
Looking at Xixi who was curled up in his arms, Luo Yan smiled faintly. Although he thought the contrast was very interesting, considering their future interactions he did not continue to tease her, but stopped talking at the right time.
Controlling the air flow dragging beside him to slowly descend, Luo Yan's feet touched the ground, and then he looked up at the "sun" that was burning under the dome like a scorching sun.
The sun looks like a giant’s head!
A pair of burning pupils were looking down at the earth, watching the chess pieces that were being manipulated and burned by Him.
Gradually, he seemed to notice a strange gaze, and his eyes filled with murderous intent and provocation focused on Luo Yan at the same time.
Responding to the burning gaze as a demon king, Luo Yan answered Xixi's previous incoherent concern in a nonchalant voice.
"You don't have to worry about me."
"This is my Demon Lord territory."
“It’s also my home turf.”
