Theramis always monitors Griffith's location through his crystal ball. This powerful sealed object has incredible power. Even if Griffith hides indoors, he can quickly locate him.
A subtle spiritual energy fluctuation was captured by Theramis.
"He seemed to be asking for help."
"Let's stop it," the people around Theramis said one after another. "The longer the sealed object controlled by Lord Theramis takes effect, the more powerful the effect will be. Although this death knight is powerful, it cannot hold out under the endless attacks. how long."
"I didn't say he was a death knight," Theramis shook his head, "I understand the contract between Laura and Heidirich, but it is not a power that a transcendent of the Death Path can shake in a short time. "
She pondered for a moment: "The Sacrifice of the Chosen One has just begun. Tonight's battle will be a test between each other. There is no need for us to take risks at this time. Even if we can't win this, let's call him a Death Knight for the time being. Look at his backup It also makes sense who it is.
"Hey, this guy escaped into a tricky place. It's hard to deal with. We have to force him out..."
…
Griffith seemed to be driven into panic. He had just escaped from under the wheels of an out-of-control carriage and was circling in a small area. He jumped over the wall into the garden, crawled into the basement, and scurried through the residential area like a weasel rushing into a chicken coop. Little jump. Everywhere he went, a disaster followed one after another. The citizens woke up from their sleep and screamed in fright, and the whole neighborhood rolled like boiling water.
Whether Galadia can come to support is uncertain. Even if she comes, she'll probably be accompanied by one or two hostile Chosen Ones. With the combined strength of her and I, we can still fight without outsiders taking action...
Griffith smashed through a wall and rolled into the dark warehouse. There are no windows here, and there are no other entrances or exits except doors and broken walls. As soon as I set foot here, suffocating gas filled the warehouse's pipes. Beyeland's outstanding municipal construction has laid gas pipes and sewer pipes under high-end residences and important commercial buildings, which have become potential dangers at this time.
This enemy's ability is so weird. The attacks he mobilizes are all triggered by inconspicuous incidents, which gradually amplify into fatal disasters. Moreover, his ability to track enemies is also amazing, and he can always keep up with him during the continuous pursuit battle. Can't let go.
However, this ability cannot have no limit! If he can cause disasters at will and pursue them forever...is this something a human can do? Only if the God of Death comes in person!
Therefore, the scale and intensity of the attack must be subject to certain restrictions, and there are limits to enemy detection and positioning.
Upon thinking of this, Griffith calmed down a little.
When he was attacked just now, this strange and invisible ability brought him great horror. However, as the battle continued, he tried various methods to get rid of the pursuit, and he had already seen some clues.
First of all, the attack must come from the surrounding environment, such as collapsed houses, broken pipes, underground pits, wells, gas, or sharp tools that may cause danger during building collapse.
Secondly, the angle of attack is also different. Sometimes, the shooting blades and collapsed stone pillars are directed towards Griffith's vitals, while other times, it's just toxic gases that diffuse from the pipes and erode away bit by bit.
Take the current situation as an example, if the enemy is so powerful, why not let the floor beneath my feet crack and let me fall into the gas pipe and suffocate? ! Similar direct attack methods have appeared in the beginning, and he can definitely do it.
Yes, that is to say, in some cases, the enemy's positioning of me is not so accurate. This dark and closed warehouse blocks the outside line of sight, and there may be no observation medium inside. The enemy's attack may only use psychic ripples to locate me, which is not so accurate.
Extraordinary abilities can be divided into strengths and weaknesses, but there is no absolute invincibility.
Strong power and sustained power are often accompanied by the trouble of insufficient range. Long-range attacks are limited by accuracy and obstacles. Indirect abilities and mental abilities that are less affected by the environment often have shortcomings such as insufficient durability due to high energy consumption. !
The gas concentration in the warehouse is rising rapidly. In a moment, just a small spark can explode into a sea of fire. Griffith didn't delay any longer. He summoned the Minos clone and rushed outside.
In the chase just now, Griffith's seemingly chaotic escape had already covered many places. Even though he was driven all over the place, he also visited many suspicious places.
For the rest, the places where high-level transcendent beings can be hidden are limited. To be able to develop such an amazing mysterious ability, the enemy behind it must need a large amount of psychic energy supplies and a venue.
"coming!"
Theramis became alert and stroked the crystal ball in front of him with some regret and said,
"It would be nice if this 'Inadvertent Carnival' had a longer range. The expansion of the range would exponentially increase the difficulty of the opponent's search. Unlike now, the Death Knight may have already determined the general direction of the psychic node we have arranged. Coming this way."
"As long as we delay for a while, the carnival's deadly carnival will begin," a black-robed attendant said, "Let's buy time."
"No, in that case the risk of my exposure will be doubled, and you are probably no match for him," Theramis said. "The true meaning of an assassin is concealment, endurance and surprise. We can defeat this heresy with brute force." I won't do anything ridiculous. Just evacuate."
The crystal ball shows Griffith's psychic signal approaching rapidly. He seemed to have given up on defense, not caring about the loss, and focused solely on catching the attacker.
The black-robed attendants put away their equipment and left like a gust of wind. Theramis held up the crystal ball and walked last, and found that the reckless knight had rushed into a warehouse.
This is no ordinary building, but a sealed warehouse filled with flour!
"Are you so reckless?" Theramis was a little confused, but she would not miss the good opportunity that was right in front of her, and activated her ability instantly.
First, the tremors caused by the collapse of nearby buildings toppled the shelves, and the diffuse dust mixed with the air in the limited space to form a dense dust cloud. Then there was a small flame, and the blown dust-air mixture quickly deflagrated, and a negative pressure was formed in the center of the explosion in a short time. The surrounding fresh air filled in from the outside in, and mixed with the blown dust to cause temperature and pressure. Rapid rise.
"boom!"
The earth trembled, as if the sky were on fire. All the nearby windows were shattered together, and Griffith, who was passing by the warehouse, was instantly engulfed by fire and shock waves, and disappeared without a trace.
"Oh - roar!" Theramis looked at the orange smoke rising into the sky and nodded happily, "Explosion is really art!"
She looked around. The dangerous death knights had been eliminated. At the same time, she sensed the psychic ripples of the Chosen One's emblem landing in an alley, and there were no enemies nearby.
Theramis is absolutely confident in her concealment. With the blessing of abilities and equipment, she can completely disappear from sight without leaving any trace. Her powerful psychic sensing also allows her to sense nearby dangers in time and evacuate at any time.
She was suspended in mid-air, using a cloak woven with psychic energy to hide her figure, and approached the ruins caused by the explosion. It is indeed dangerous to do so, but you cannot trust such a high-value target such as the Chosen One's emblem to be recovered by others.
Theramis stretched out his hand towards a talisman-like emblem that fell on the ground. Just to be on the safe side, she scanned the area with her psychic power again to make sure that no Extraordinary person was nearby.
As expected, this death knight carries the emblem of the Chosen One, probably taken from Laura... As long as I take it back, I will have two emblems. Well, I'm awesome!
"Snapped!"
A strong big hand suddenly grasped the invisible slender wrist, and the coldness of the armor and the creak of broken wrist bones climbed up Theramis's spine almost at the same time.
"ah--!"
A miserable cry came from the night sky, followed by a dull crash.
Theramis, who was trying to escape, was grabbed by the wrist and received a thunderous punch in the lower abdomen. She flew into the air and was pulled back to make up for it. The heart-wrenching pain made her vomit her stomach acid. come out. The psychic cloak that concealed his whereabouts was torn apart by strange forces and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
A knight wearing strong armor and painted with strange red and black patterns emerged from the darkness. He waited beside the emblem of the Chosen One and also became invisible. However, what Theramis could not understand the most was that this knight did not reveal even a single trace of psychic energy.
What's going on? Why can he hide his spiritual power? Is it the same mystery as me? No, even if you can hide in the cracks in the plane, there are signs of psychic disturbance. Could this be an assassin of a higher rank than me disguised as a death knight...
Theramis was speechless, and it was extremely difficult to even move his fingers. He watched the death knight pick up the emblem, and then began to take away the unstable psychic crystals that represented the qualifications of the chosen one from his ring. .
It turns out that as long as the chosen one loses the will to fight or is unable to resist, the emblem will be taken away...
Theramis heard a crisp trigger sound and knew that disaster was coming. She wanted to surrender, but she felt that she was already like this, but any normal person should see that she had no ability to resist.
Griffith pointed the finger at the assassin who was unable to resist, saying, "Surrender, or end."
As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling light fell from the sky.
The attack came very quickly, and Griffith subconsciously rolled backwards to avoid it. I saw a silver sword edge that reflected the sun and moon swinging down, blocking between him and Theramis.
On the body of this glorious long sword, there are dense magic patterns like seven stars between the sun and moon patterns, shining with dazzling light like flowing fire.
Griffith's whole body was shaken.
As an officer of the Young Guards and a knight of the kingdom, he recognizes this rare blade - the Holy Sword of Enduil, a magical weapon commanded by King Beyelan. It has the ability to improve the holder's physique, strength and agility in all aspects. , perception and mental attributes, it can greatly boost the morale of the warriors around the sword holder. It will even reduce a wide range of combat buffs during the battle, giving allies the blessings of light shield, protection, wind elegance and luck.
The man holding the holy sword has flowing and neat blond hair, and his broad shoulders make him look like a hero from ancient legends. On his young and resolute face, under his thick eyebrows are a pair of ice-blue eyes, like burning ice, ready to burst into flames at any time.
"I feel the dark and bloody atmosphere. A few kilometers away, I can hear the wail and despair brought by the agent of death," the sword-holder said in a deep voice, "Death Knight, I am Lucius O Laelius Commodus Antoninus, prince of Bijerland, in the name of your future king, orders you to surrender."
