“I’m going to go in and take a look now.
After all, I can't let a warrior who is weaker than me face a strong enemy. "
Craig tilted his head and said.
Following this movement, his head moved closer to the shadow rat that was constantly gnawing at his flesh and blood.
So the greedy, insatiable rat gnawed hard on his face.
But Craig didn't say anything about it.
It's just flesh and blood being chewed away, so it's not a problem for Craig.
At most, it was only accompanied by severe pain, which was nothing compared to the feeling of facing death when he was weak.
"Are you going to go with me? Or do you and I choose to go in a different direction?"
Steve asked seriously.
For them at this time, the black fog in front of them was an unknown.
Although they are no longer considered weak, there is something in this terrifying world that they still need to be careful about.
If you travel together, the dogs can help each other a lot.
But working separately can also yield more intelligence.
After knowing the name of Rakanos, no one will be arrogant.
After all, there are only a few people in this world who do not feel despair.
“Let’s move separately.
After all, I still carry this greedy rat with me.
If necessary, I will use my own methods to spawn more Shadow Rats.
If everything comes to worst, letting the shadow rats devour Rakanos is also an option. "
When Craig said this, a shadow flashed in his eyes.
The lethality of the shadow rat swarm does not require much elaboration.
Except for Baal, the Demon God of Destruction, no one has a good way to deal with this thing.
These little guys are a kind of life, but their unique way of existence makes their existence a bit similar to Leoric's blasphemy against life.
These things can be killed, but the shadow remains.
Shadow Rats is not just a name, but the most essential description of the state of these little mice.
The shadows will not be extinguished, and the rats will not be extinguished.
And mice can shape shadows into the world.
It can even be said that Hamelin's death itself was an accident.
A legendary demon capable of carrying the Shadow Rat, if they hadn't met Orak, who was considered the strongest at that time, they would probably have continued to wreak havoc.
“Then I’ll take the first step.
If given the chance, I hope to save some people. "
Steve is very determined in his business.
But Craig could hear a bit of helplessness in it.
They have all experienced the horror of demons, and no ordinary person has left this black mist for such a long time.
They have already prepared for the worst.
Expect demons to be merciful to humans?
This joke is a bit more ridiculous than the fact that the hell demons will help humans.
The demon kings of hell will still help humans for their own benefit.
But demons will never be kind to humans!
"I'll go in later.
If we encounter any problems inside, who in the outside world can delay time? "
Craig seemed to be asking what Steve meant.
But he didn't wait for Steve's answer.
Because Steve plunged into the black fog when he finished his first sentence!
Plains of Despair…
The plain itself is the body of Rakanos.
Rakanos has the largest size among demons, but he basically doesn't use all of himself.
…
“You can smell the devil everywhere, but you can’t see the devil.
So there's only one answer, right? Rakanos, why are you hiding in the shadows to observe a poor Crusader? "
Steve's voice rang out in the empty plain of despair.
His power is constantly sending out trembling reminders.
The instinct of the Crusader is constantly telling Steve that the King of Despair is nearby.
"Okay, I'm coming out now.
I have to say that as one of the few Nephalems who have come to the Plains of Despair in countless years, you have the same keen sense of smell as the previous Rumlow. "
The figure of Lakanos appeared in front of Steve.
It still looks the same, but the size is not as exaggerated as what Gruchak faced.
"Lakanos, I would be lying to you if I said I have admired the name for a long time.
After all, I only learned your name recently.
But it is enough for me to know that you are an unforgivable devil. "
As Steve spoke, the tower shield in his hand stood heavily on the ground.
This is a posture to guard against impact.
The shield is tilted, and Steve uses his body as support for the shield.
When the impact comes, as long as he doesn't fall down, the shield can block the opponent's impact.
Such an action is undoubtedly a sign of weakness.
"Crusader? May I know your name?"
Noward? Gregan? Or Johanna? "
Lakanos looked very relaxed when he looked at Steve.
The uncrowned king of the devil has the right to despise his opponent like this.
After all, if he were to fight at home, even a small percentage of the Seven Demon Kings of Hell would not be able to defeat him.
Crusader Norward, the legend passed down by this Crusader is called Norward's Zeal.
It's a two-piece legendary set.
Flail charge flail, tower shield war horse shield...
The fighting method of this Crusader Army is more like a guerrilla warfare type.
And they are the crusaders who like to use war horses to drag demons on long-distance attacks.
Perhaps in their eyes, cruelty to demons does not violate their kindness as crusaders at all.
Human kindness should only be given to humans.
This is the deepest obsession of the Crusaders named Norward.
And Gregan...
This is one of the few crusaders who likes to use two-handed weapons.
Because of the effect of the innate skill Heavenly Power, they can have two-handed weapons with one hand.
Although the damage caused will be weakened a bit, the powerful lethality of the two-handed weapon itself more than makes up for this lack of power.
And the most famous legend of Crusader Gregan...
That's the tower shield called the Hell Skull!
After a less than grueling battle, Gregan defeated a powerful legendary demon.
The final blow of Flame Slash chopped off the legendary demon's head, and the head rolled down to Gregan's feet.
After Gregan studied it for a while, he decided to decorate his shield with the ugly head of this demon.
The Crusaders of Gregan's lineage are a little more rough when fighting.
Also more advocating attack.
Speaking of warrior-type professions, only the Crusaders of Gregan's lineage are somewhat similar to the barbarians.
Advocates basic combat skills and likes precise and powerful attacks.
"I am Johanna, although I haven't inherited my teacher's name yet.
But now I have confidence that I will not bring shame to the teacher. "
Steve said calmly.
Since Lakanos has already talked about his Crusader faction, there is no hidden meaning.
This honesty isn't a sign of Steve's stupidity.
But Steve's fearlessness.
His fighting style is not entirely based on that of the Crusaders of Johanna's lineage.
Ordinary Crusaders are not very good at using shield attacks.
But Steve was good at it.
“Oh, Johanna.
Those tough spiny turtles. "
Racanos looked like he was suddenly enlightened.
He was full of malice towards Steve.
This is a very vicious derogation.
The Crusaders who gathered around Arkhan back then had their own way of fighting.
They spread out and began to search the world for ways to prevent corruption.
I don’t know how many Crusaders have become legends along the way, and I don’t know how many fell before becoming legends.
No one among these people has ever been corrupted by the Burning Hell.
In this regard, the Crusaders are the most hated enemies of the Burning Hells.
After all, defeating them comes at a high price.
But there will basically be no gains.
Among them, the line of Crusaders that caused the Burning Hell the most headaches was none other than Johanna!
Who would like a spiked iron bucket to be their enemy?
When attacking the opponent, regardless of whether your attack penetrates the opponent's defense, you will suffer a fixed amount of counter-injury.
This feeling is really too bad.
This is different than hitting a sandbag that won't fight back.
Every time the Crusaders of Johanna's lineage fight back, there will be no pain in the place where they hit...
Instead, the pain of being pierced by thorns will spread throughout the body.
These guys are also the favorite opponents of the masochist Duriel.
That kind of pain is more comprehensive than the torture Duriel inflicts on himself...
“If you don’t really want to fight me right away.
So would you mind telling me where the ordinary people who were swallowed up by your realm are now?
Fighting with you is only one of the reasons why I came here, and it is the least important one.
Rather than defeat you, I hope to save other people. "
Steve remained serious.
He is also rarely impulsive.
It's just that he is ready to use the skill of dedication at any time.
Dedication can make the ground around you a holy place.
Somewhat similar to the Necromancer's realm of the dead.
But this skill does not have such a big increase on the Crusaders.
But this can be regarded as a portable path for the Crusaders to understand the field.
The inheritance of the Holy Army comes from the Zakarum sect. On the way to becoming stronger, the Holy Army is almost the most comprehensive and most practical way.
As long as they follow the guidance of their teachers, it is not difficult to become a legend.
After all, they had already acquired legendary names from the moment they became Crusaders!
Moreover, Steve understood the runes in this skill.
The rune is called Spikes All Over the Ground!
The holy ground will be filled with nails, causing fixed thorn damage to any enemy who dares to set foot here.
"If I say that the people you want to save have already entered the realm of the Archangel of Hope.
So will you still insist on fighting me?
Of course, I have no intention of letting you go.
I'm just a little curious about what you Crusaders think.
After all, the Crusaders are the most numerous of the Nephalem who have come to me. "
Lakanos' words contained terrible news.
Steve had no idea how many Crusaders there were left in the world.
It is not even known whether there are heirs to the Crusaders of Norward and Gregan.
Even Johanna couldn't give an answer to this question.
But Lakanos's words vaguely revealed the outcome of the two lines of Crusaders.
Among the Nephalem who encountered the King of Despair, few were able to leave the Plains of Despair alive.
“I will never sit back and wait.
And you don’t seem to like fighting against the Crusaders of Johanna’s lineage?
But you know Johanna's name.
In other words, the Crusaders of Johanna's lineage have left your Plain of Despair? "
Steve said with an unattractive smile.
He is still self-aware.
The former senior was able to leave the Plains of Despair, but this does not mean that he was able to do so.
"It doesn't matter, Johanna stayed with me at that time.
But his disciples left.
At the cost of his teacher's life.
Also, don't look at me like that.
Although the Burning Hell had little to do with the Nephalem at first, over time it became more and more intense.
The Nephalem have long been included in the blood feud of the Burning Hell.
The world always changes, right?
By the way, there were a total of four people who came to me at that time, from the inheritance of three holy armies.
That's right, Norwald, Gregan and Johanna.
It's a pity that Noward's horse cannot drag my body.
After all, Greg's exaggerated power among the Crusaders was not as exaggerated as that of the barbarians.
Only Johanna was hard enough to give me some pain. "
Lakanos didn't shy away from talking about his power.
In the eyes of the demons of the Burning Hell, there is no such thing as modesty.
They are not ashamed to talk about their strength and will even use their achievements as bragging rights.
After all, the entertainment conditions in the Burning Hell are too poor.
There was nothing else to do but brag to each other.
"Although I don't think it's a bad thing to go to the realm of hope.
But from the look in your eyes, I feel like there seems to be something else hidden here? "
Steve's hand was already around the flail.
He was ready to start swinging the hammer of blessing at any time.
When facing the devil, there can be no relaxation.
A moment's carelessness may become the cause of one's own death.
The Crusaders of Johanna's lineage have more fault tolerance than other professions because of their tough fighting style.
But death will not be deterred by their hardness.
“I have told this story to the savages before.
I don't mind saying it again if you want to hear it.
Anyway, you probably have no chance to leave the Plains of Despair.
Also, has anyone ever told you that throwing nails at other people is a very annoying thing? "
Lakanos' eyes flashed red as he spoke.
The foothold of everything in this place is the body of Rakanos.
Any changes in the Plains of Despair cannot escape the observation of Lakanos.
“Also, there is no Crusader who has inherited the name of Johanna.
If you die in my hands, then I will brag to my acquaintances as a legend that I destroyed three holy armies.
I really hope their expressions after hearing the news can make me happy. "
Racanos tried to use words to bring despair to Steve.
After realizing that these words were meaningless, he showed a lack of interest again.
Then he began to talk about the connection between himself and Auriel in that feeble tone.
Perhaps it is because this kind of story can make any Crusader who wants to save others feel despair.
However, the Crusaders were as dismissive of this as ever.
The Crusader, the Nephalem with the strongest will.
Their steadfastness does not simply come from their belief in higher heavens and archangels.
But the belief that everything you do is righteous!
Among the Holy Army, there are many beings who can be called saints.
Death has never been a regret or a relief for them.
There is only firm faith in the life of the Crusaders!
The kind of determination that integrates faith into the blood and turns faith into strength!
