Just as Sarlayan speculated, not only the nearby Holy Light Monastery, but also the Holy Light Cathedral in the Royal City of Lordaeron also noticed the unusual outbreak of Holy Light in this remote mountainous area.
After Alonsos Faol, who laid the foundation for the Church of Holy Light, passed away, his personal apprentice Benedictus, who had high hopes for him, accepted the invitation of Gavinrad Doom and traveled to the Kingdom of Storm in the southern part of the continent.
The newly succeeded Archbishop of Lordaeron is not as capable as Benedictus, but he can be regarded as a conservative religious leader.
Under his arrangement, the Holy Light Cathedral sent investigators to this secluded monastery located deep in the mountains, intending to find out the cause of this Holy Light outbreak.
At the same time, the nearest monastery has dispatched an investigation team consisting of more than a dozen people and is expected to arrive at the scene in 15 minutes at the latest.
Sarlayan and Valeela, who were in the middle of the battle, could not distract themselves from the reactions of all parties, but they could roughly guess that they did not have much time left for them.
Affected by the rage of the undead, Alonsos Faol's eyes, which should have been filled with blue soul fire, turned red, and his mood also appeared particularly violent.
Sarlayan and Valeela wanted to knock him out as soon as possible and take him away, but this guy was covered with a thick layer of Power Word Shield.
Considering Faao's extraordinary attainments in the Holy Light, it would be impossible to break through the shield he had laid down so easily.
"Hey~" Sarlayan sighed with a wry smile: "It would be great if Stella, Tina or Jaina were here. Facing the spellcasting profession, the arcanist's countermeasures are the most effective."
Valeela pouted: "Who would have thought that this 'ceremony' trip would encounter such an emergency? You'd better think about how to solve the problem as soon as possible."
"Well... please help me hold Faao down first and let me think about it for a while."
While Valeela took the initiative to get closer and used her speed advantage to entangle the restless Fao, Sarlayan turned his attention to the barrage, hoping to brainstorm some inspiration from netizens from another world.
[I can’t think of any countermeasures to break the situation. It’s best to overpower this situation. 】
[As long as Faao's Power Word Shield can be broken with a saturation attack in a short period of time, with his physical fitness as a priest, he can easily knock him out with one punch. 】
【you sure? Faao is a genius who created the new profession of Paladin. What if he also secretly made an experimental paladin baptism transformation on himself? 】
[Ah...it's really hard to say. 】
[I do have a way, but it may go against Sharlayan’s original intention and hurt Faol. 】
[If you can find a way, just say so and don’t keep it secret. 】
[Actually, it's very simple. Just use fragmentation throw to forcefully break the shield. 】
[...Fragment Throw is not used to break the Power Word Shield. Even the Paladin's Holy Shield and the Mage's Ice Barrier can't stop it. If you accidentally use too much force...]
[This is what I'm worried about. It's up to Sarlayan himself to judge whether he can control his strength. 】
"Shatter Throw..."
Different from those skills instilled by the system that directly increase understanding and experience, Shalayan learned the Shatter Throw on his own initiative. In terms of proficiency, it cannot be compared with the skills given by the system. He is really not sure whether he can do it. Take advantage of it.
After hesitating for a moment, Sarlayan gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
"Time is urgent, let's give it a try."
"Faao is now an undead. As long as the soul fire is not extinguished, even if his body is slightly injured, it will not be fatal."
"It's better to take a gamble than to be blocked by the priests of the monastery. If they see Faao resurrected as an undead, and we happen to be right next to him, then it will be impossible to argue."
The quick-moving Valeera turned into afterimages and flashed around Faao. Faao's reaction speed obviously couldn't keep up with her mobility, so he chose to remain unchanged in response to all changes.
A bunch of daggers in Valeela's hand hit the Power Word Shield, causing ripples. Although Sarlayan was still in a distracted state, he would still subconsciously release a few small spells to support Valeera.
When Faol caught Valeera's attack and unleashed a powerful blow with his backhand, the wind buff that Sharlayan had given to Valeera automatically took effect, pushing her body to narrowly escape the spell. Austria's counterattack.
Quickly adjusting her posture in mid-air, Valeela activated the lightning power that Sharlayan had temporarily stored in her physical strength when she landed, stimulating her legs to explode with force.
"Whoosh!"
Faol, who had just completed the previous action, could not react. Valeela appeared behind him as if teleporting. The double swords in his hands hit the Power Word Shield 10 times in a very short period of time. .
By chance, Faol subconsciously turned around and tried to attack Valeela again. He was not very clear-headed yet and was completely unaware. He exposed his weakly defended back to Sarlayan, who had not participated in the battle.
"...Is this the enemy-seeking mechanism of low-intelligence undead? It's quite funny."
While complaining, Sarlayan randomly picked an epic two-handed sword from the space package.
For Sarlayan, who has been traveling around the world for many years, epic weapons are no longer precious.
Holding the hilt of the sword tightly with his right hand, Sarlayan opened his stance and began to accumulate strength.
Valeera, who had a perfect tacit understanding with Sarlayan, noticed his movements, and without Sarlayan using the soul link channel to remind her, Valeela suddenly flew backwards the moment he finished charging up and started to move.
"Shatter Throw! Let's go!"
"Buzz!"
Accompanied by the buzzing sound of a heavy object cutting through the air, the sword thrown by Sarlayan spanned a long distance in an instant.
Feeling the threat, Fa'ao instinctively wanted to dodge sideways, but at this time it was too late to make any move.
"Check!"
Fragment Throw is a skill developed by warriors of all ages specifically to break shields. Even the two major defensive skills called Invincible and Refrigerator by players can penetrate it. The mere Power Word Shield cannot stop its special shield-breaking attack. Effect.
The great sword pierced through the Power Word Shield and penetrated Faao's left chest unabated. The heavy force pinned him to the ground and was temporarily unable to move.
If it were a living person, this blow would have been enough to fatally penetrate his heart.
After being buried in the earth for several years, Faao's body had long lost its internal organs, and he no longer needed these things after becoming undead.
The biggest effect of Sarlayan's fragmentation throw was to break the shield and restrict it, and it did not cause enough fatal damage to the undead Faao.
While throwing the shattering throw, Sarlayan took advantage of the forward leaning force and quickly rushed in front of Faao who was struggling to break free from the shackles of the chest-piercing sword with his charging skills.
Without the obstruction of Power Word Shield, Sarlayan raised his right hand and pinched Faol's cheek during the sprint. The power of death was forcibly injected into Faol's body, forcibly calming Faol's manic will affected by the spell.
Finally, the restless Fao was temporarily "coma"ed. Sarlayan smoothly pulled out the sword that was deeply embedded in the ground, and with a flick of his right hand, he lifted Fao's light undead body on his shoulders.
"Come on! I can already hear footsteps!"
Valeela glanced regretfully at Faol's tomb, which had not been restored in time, and followed Sarlayan into the dense mountain forest.
About half a minute later, with the sound of hurried footsteps, the priests who were running at the front arrived at the scene.
"The sound of fighting is nearby. I remember this place is..."
"The burial place of Saint Alonsus Faol! Damn it! His tomb has been dug up!"
"What?!"
…
Not to mention the monks were furious when they discovered that Faao's tomb had been dug up.
When Sarlayan and Valeera took the knocked-out Faol and fled into the mountains to find a place to settle down, the top brass of the Knights of the Silver Hand, headed by Uther, Tirion and Saidan, finally got two His Royal Highness's interview reply.
Calia and Arthas obviously realized what the Silver Hand said and why people were asking for a meeting at this time. The two siblings decided to attend this crucial meeting together.
Calia and Arthas, who entered the throne room one after another, looked at each other, and then turned their eyes to Uther and others with different expressions, who still had demon blood stains on their bodies.
The knights still wearing armor were unable to bend down and curtsy, so under the leadership of Uther, they used the chest-beating salute commonly used by paladins on the battlefield instead.
Calia gently raised her hand to signal to Uther and the others: "You knights have just returned from fighting on the battlefield. There is no need to stick to these common etiquette. If you have anything to say, please speak directly."
Arthas noticed that Uther had not glanced at him since he entered the hall, and his already somewhat uneasy mood gradually sank, but he still controlled his emotions and nodded and said: "In urgent matters, Uther Well, please speak."
"Suck~"
Uther nodded to the two royal members whose eyes were slightly fluctuating, took a deep breath to suppress his complicated emotions, and stated the consensus reached by the Knights of the Silver Hand not long ago.
"Sorry, Your Highness Arthas, all members of the Silver Hand have decided to support Princess Calia in taking over the vacant throne of Lordaeron."
