Chapter 72 In the Dark Shadow
"You did a good job, it seems, the things have arrived?"
Sitting on a stone chair, a man in a black robe was smiling and staring at the mage in front of him. His clothes look so inconspicuous that people can even mistake him for an ordinary person. But as soon as you look at his face, this misconception is immediately thrown away.
Covered by the black robe, there was a withered and yellow face that seemed to have been burnt by charcoal fire, and his cheeks were full of hard pieces. As he spoke, the muscles of his face began to shake, and even faint sparks could be seen in the gaps between the hard pieces. In fact, his whole person seems to be a moving human-shaped furnace, even if he just gets close to him, he will be forced back by the scorching high temperature.
These are the Destruction Mages, who cast off the shackles of mortals and use their bodies as furnaces to absorb and gain access to the endless flames of hell. What flows in their bodies is not blood, but lava. It was not the heart that beat their chests, but the torrent of tumbling flames. In fact, from the moment they absorb the hellfire, they are no longer human, but some kind of creature made up of horrible hellfire.
"Yes, as you think, Master..."
Hearing the words of the Destruction Mage, a Mage in front of him bowed his head respectfully, then reached into his arms and took out a strange amethyst ring.
It was a middle-aged man with a very ordinary appearance. Different from the Destruction Mage, this plain-looking man was wearing a luxurious robe with a white background and gold rims, and at the back of the robe was a drawing of an eagle flying with wings, and in its double In the claws, is holding a white scale!
If a spellcaster, such as Fina, saw his mage robe, she would have cried out in surprise. Because of this sign, it is one of the most powerful spellcaster organizations on this continent, and it is also a core organization member of the Order Alliance—the sign of the White Tower of the Sky!
This logo alone is enough to make people awe-inspiring, but for the Destruction Mage, the man in front of him is just a piece of chess that has been used up and abandoned.
A stupid betrayal.
Looking at the man in front of him, a cold smile appeared in the eyes of Destruction Mage. The world thought that the Church of the Day of Destruction was greedy and evil, but they did not tolerate betrayal. For any Doomsday Church believer, when they decide to abandon order and embrace chaos and destruction, it means they have made a final choice. They might fight the guardians of order to the death, but that doesn't mean they appreciate betrayal of the order. In the view of the Destruction Mage, once a person makes a choice, then he is responsible for his own decision. Whether it is falling into chaos or throwing into order, since a decision has been made, it is necessary to stick to the last moment.
And anyone who makes a decision and ends up betraying their faith cannot be trusted for the day of destruction, and their capriciousness proves that they have no true faith. Whether it is the fanatical pursuit of destruction or the sworn maintenance of order, they are all gone. In fact, these villains are nothing but selfish, stupid and useful pawns.
They are not the useless organization of the Twilight Legion where the betrayers gather to keep warm. The parade to the Day of Destruction is a sacred ceremony that cannot be sullied. Those half-hearted guys will never be allowed to mix into it.
The Destruction Mage knew why the man in front of him betrayed the order, nothing more than angry revenge, the glory of the family, the death of a loved one, etc. These boring things. These are meaningless at all. Since you are committed to destruction, you must be prepared to be completely destroyed. Even unbelieving fools will get an equal outcome in the end. What the group of bones in the Council of the Dead said is still very reasonable. No existence can transcend death, and in the face of the coming day of destruction, everyone is equal.
If he hadn't needed his power now, he would have wiped out this betrayal long ago.
Thinking of this, the Destruction Mage restrained his thoughts and looked at the Mage in front of him again. Then he snapped his fingers, and soon saw the ring float quietly and landed in the hands of the Destruction Mage.
"As long as you have this ring, you can lift the seal of the border. Very good, the Church on the Day of Destruction will not forget your credit, you will definitely be able to get everything you want. Now you can go back, remember, Be sure to bring the offering on time."
"Thank you, Master, it's my honor to be able to serve you."
Hearing Mage Destruction's words, the middle-aged man's face showed a look of sincerity and fear. He lowered his head excitedly, suppressed the joy in his heart, and replied in a low voice. Then a radiance appeared on his body, and the next moment I saw the mage disappear into the air.
Watching the middle-aged man leave, there was a slight hint of disdain in the eyes of Destruction Mage.
After all, it's just the ignorance of mortals.
Time has stopped.
When Fangzheng came out of the bushes, everything had solidified. Whether it is wind, shadow, light, or even the throbbing flames and flying sparks. all stayed where they were. Fangzheng leaped out like a ghost, and the Broken Sky Sword in his hand flashed a cold light, and then silently pierced into the heart of the cultist closest to him.
Justice Backstab!
The cultist's body trembled slightly, but there was no response. And Fangzheng didn't care about this, he rolled forward quickly, and at the same time pulled out his long sword, and suddenly slashed at another cultist.
Kind slash!
The silver-white blade silently cut an arc in the air, passed the cultist's neck, and then leaped like a poisonous snake, stabbing the third cultist's throat.
Friendship blows... well, I can't make it up.
Of course, Fangzheng didn't dare to use any skills. What he stopped was time, but time will eventually return to normal. Although he can directly go to a holy storm to blast these guys into scum. But when time stops and lifts, the sound of his explosive skills will also be heard.
Fortunately, after being strengthened by the Zerg, Fang Zheng's current speed can be said to be extremely fast, which is almost the same as that of the Zerglings with increased speed. Not to mention that in the world of Dark Souls, Fangzheng has long learned how to kill the enemy most efficiently. I saw him shuttling back and forth between the cultists as if he was in a no-man's land. The shining sword light was light and elegant. , caressed the bodies of those cultists like a breeze. In the blink of an eye, with the silver light falling to the ground, Fang Zheng's figure silently appeared beside the last cultist, and then he turned his head and glanced.
At this moment, time starts to flow again.
"Pfft!!"
At the same time, the chest of the first cultist who was pierced by Fang Zheng's heart suddenly burst open and blood spurted out, while the cultist's eyes widened. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was unable to do so. fell softly to the ground.
This seems to be the beginning of the collapse of dominoes, and the cultists fell silently to the ground, losing their voices. Their eyes widened, as if they couldn't believe what had happened to them. But these cultists didn't know that, in fact, they were already dead dozens of seconds ago.
And now, they just experienced the process.
If nothing else, it is very useful for assassination.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Fang Zheng nodded in the depths of his heart. The use of time ability in assassination is indeed hard to prevent. If it is matched with a highly poisonous dagger, it is estimated that it can achieve miraculous effects. Even if the other party feels that he has escaped, he can be caught and come back again. Or just kill him with a single blow and then retreat quietly, and the opponent won't even have time to react.
But anyway, everything went well.
Putting away the long sword, Fang Zheng turned around and made a gesture to Fina, who was hiding in the bushes.
It's important to save people.
