Chapter 403: Arthur goes to battle
When the figure wrapped in holy light fell from the sky, everyone was stunned.
This is undoubtedly the power of Holy Light, but what did the lich just say? Is it the holy warrior under the lich?
This joke is not funny at all.
As the golden holy warrior descended, countless hailstones emerged from the dark sky and quickly smashed into the sea.
The power of the ice spell solidified the waves on the sea, turning them into a large piece of thick floating ice, which was just the right place for the holy warrior to stay.
Cyril Roland tried very hard to see the man's appearance clearly.
The Holy Light was real, but how could one possess the power of the Holy Light by working for the lich? How outrageous must the oath of this paladin be to not break it even if he worked for the undead? Unfortunately, all Cyril Roland saw was a heavy helmet that was almost completely sealed.
The entire body of this holy warrior was wrapped in silver-white heavy armor. If I was not mistaken, this was an extremely expensive set of mithril armor.
Mithril is very light, but much stronger than steel, and has strong magic resistance. It has always been the best material for forging high-end magic armor. The best at forging mithril armor in the world are the tieflings of the Unholy Song. Now only Amber can trade with the tieflings of the Chaos Land and ask them to help forge this set of top-level mithril heavy armor.
But Cyril Roland didn't know that the main function of this set of armor was not to enhance defense, but to perfectly cover the mechanical body under the armor.
In essence, the holy knight in front of him with shining holy light is not a human, but a magic puppet, a magic puppet that can be controlled by the heroic spirit of Arthur Ryan.
Ambershu placed the Eternal Hourglass possessed by Arthur Ryan in the center of the puppet, and then used the artifact of the God of Alchemy to transform the puppet's mechanical body into a material with the same properties as the hourglass. It can be understood that Ambershu transformed the entire puppet into the same properties as the Eternal Hourglass.
This sounds like a magic weapon that can be mass-produced. In fact, such assembly will not only fail to enhance the power of the magic weapon, but will have an impact on it.
The artifact itself is a perfect whole. Adding various materials will only seriously weaken the original effect of the artifact.
But it doesn't matter, because the Eternal Hourglass requires a Time Dragon to use. Even if Arthur Ryan becomes a heroic spirit possessed by the artifact, he cannot use the power of time of this artifact.
Therefore, Amber's transformation has only one goal, which is to give Arthur Lane a brand new body.
Machines are not as flexible as humans, but they are much better than pure heroic spirit forms. At least they will not be recognized at a glance.
And there was another important reason why Arthur Lane agreed to help.
Because Amber said that if Arthur Ryan didn't take action, all these paladins would die. This was not a threat, but a simple fact.
Amberxiu has already made up his mind to make a big scene to establish his authority. When the critical moment comes, he will not hesitate to pull out Gareth, the ultimate killer.
If that's not enough, there's Ai Ge, and the Withered Rose, and half of the members of the Mourning Poets Society are willing to help.
With the combined power of these undead, it would be easy to destroy this legion.
So Amberxiu meant that if he attacked, he would not be able to control his strength and would have to use all his strength to kill the other party. And if Arthur Lane could make these Lane people retreat, then Amberxiu could give them a way out for his sake.
Arthur Lane had to take action.
Even though he never considered himself the founding emperor of Ryan, he could not watch these Ryan people make unnecessary sacrifices.
When Arthur looked at the glorious general Cyril Roland and saw the long sword in his hand, he was deeply moved. He did not expect that his sword had also become a divine weapon.
Arthur also grabbed the magic-breaking sword that Ambers prepared for him, and said to Cyril Roland: "Let's leave now, and no one will get hurt. Otherwise, I will have to draw my sword against you."
Cyril Roland looked at Arthur in confusion. He didn't know that the man in front of him was the Saint King Ryan, whom he had regarded as his idol since childhood. He just wanted to lift up the man's helmet and see who this traitor was.
"Which god do you believe in?" Cyril Roland asked in a deep voice.
Not only did the Lord of Dawn have its own holy warriors, many gods could also bless mortals and make them their own holy warriors. For example, the god of justice Tyr, the holy warrior of this god was very similar to the holy warrior of the Lord of Dawn, with only some details different.
Just as Talos can bless the ocean, for the gods, holy light is not an energy of absolute attribute.
Zariel once did something. He bestowed the power of holy light on his subordinates and asked them to disguise themselves as holy warriors of Tyr, the god of justice, to sow discord in the mortal world.
Therefore, even if this person is covered in holy light, it cannot represent his true position.
So Cyril Roland had to ask.
Arthur Lane's answer was also without hesitation. He said to Cyril Roland: "I believe in the Lord of the Dawn."
"Liar!" Cyril Roland gritted his teeth and said, "How could a paladin who believes in the Lord of the Dawn be in league with that lich?"
Arthur smiled and said, "Why not? The Lord of Dawn only taught us to stay away from evil and resist evil, but this evil does not specifically refer to the undead. Although this Ultraman Master is a lich, as he said, everything he does is justice and is to save the world. What evidence do you have to accuse him of being evil?"
Cyril Rolland had no answer to the question, but he decided not to waste time arguing about it.
The lich was well prepared and even brought out a fake paladin. He would definitely not give him any chance to refute.
Although this lich is extremely treacherous, one thing he said is true: the Holy Light will witness their right and wrong.
Fakes are always fakes and can never become real.
Cyril Roland raised the Blood of Lathander, pointed the blade at Arthur, and said calmly: "Now take off your disguise, I can grant you a painless death. If you continue to insult my beliefs, I can only destroy your soul with the Holy Light!"
Arthur looked at his sword, sighed and said, "Well, let the Holy Light be the witness! Please strike first!"
As a predecessor who lived more than a thousand years ago, Arthur always felt that these were all children in front of him. The holy knights of that time were not so unreasonable. They were just like naughty children shouting "I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen".
Well, as a senior, just let him go.
Cyril Roland did not feel excited at all when he heard such contemptuous words. Such provocation was too childish and completely useless.
Since he wants me to make the first move, I'll let him do it.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Layers of golden light appeared on the blood of Lathander, turning into a curtain of light that enveloped Arthur.
The undead senses the shielding barrier. This is the most powerful effect of the Blood of Lathander, and it is the nemesis of all undead.
Although I don’t know what this fake paladin is, I think it is a method used by the lich, so this trick must be effective.
What surprised Cyril Roland was that Arthur was enveloped by this layer of light but did not react at all.
Although a heroic spirit is also a kind of soul, its essence is more like a soul that has ascended to the kingdom of God, rather than a soul that cannot survive. This barrier will not have any effect on heroic spirits, so Arthur is naturally unaffected.
Catching a hint of surprise from Cyril Roland, Arthur moved.
His body turned into a beam of light and instantly appeared in front of Cyril Roland. The magic-destroying sword in his hand had already stabbed towards Cyril Roland's shoulder.
Cyril Roland was startled. This liar was not easy to deal with, so he quickly waved the Blood of Lathander to block.
Before the swords touched, Arthur Ryan had already changed his moves, and the long sword drew an arc and stabbed at Cyril Roland's wrist again. This was a gap in the armor, and if the sword was stabbed into it, Cyril Roland's right hand would be useless.
What shocked Cyril Roland even more was that the moves of this impostor were very familiar, almost the same as the swordsmanship that had been passed down for a long time in Ryan. That was the swordsmanship passed down by the Holy King, specifically targeting humanoid opponents. It was a compulsory course for every Ryan person to learn since childhood. No matter what profession you were in when you grew up, you could perform a few moves with a sword.
There are some subtle differences, but this is undoubtedly Ryan's swordplay.
The more Cyril Roland fought, the more confused he became. Such strength, such swordsmanship... could he really be a Ryan?
But when did Ryan have such a legendary paladin? It was impossible for him not to know.
What shocked Cyril Roland even more was that his Ryan swordsmanship was not as good as his opponent's.
Arthur Ryan has guarded the Eternal Hourglass for more than a thousand years and has never given up his martial arts. On the contrary, during the boring thousand years, he has been thinking and pondering his swordsmanship, fearing that one day after the seal is opened, he will see the army of the Dragon Cult.
Originally a genius with extremely high talent, after more than a thousand years of immersive research, Arthur Ryan's swordsmanship has surpassed the ordinary.
Cyril Roland only lasted a dozen seconds before he lost his pace and his body kept moving backwards on the ice, feeling as if he was about to fall.
As long as he slips, the opponent's sword will seize the opportunity to pierce into the gap between the helmet and the breastplate. At that time, he can only rely on the magic equipment on his body to resist, and he will be completely at a disadvantage.
This scene was carefully recorded by the Kuroshio in the sky and was still being broadcast live simultaneously around the world.
All the audience were shocked by Arthur Ryan's strength. A paladin who worked with the lich suppressed General Huiyao? Holy Light, did you shine the light on the wrong person?
Just when Cyril Roland was about to be pushed to the edge of the ice floe by Arthur Lane, the glorious general finally gave up his "fair" way of fighting.
I can’t compete with this liar in sword fighting anymore!
The scattered golden light around him turned into dozens of small holy light swords and shot towards Arthur Lane.
