It had only been thirty seconds since Roddy descended from the sky, but more than ten people had fallen around him. Arrows pierced through their hearts, daggers beheaded them. Roddy's powerful lethality made Goethe, who was not far away, immediately feel threatened. At the same time, he also confirmed that Roddy was the culprit behind the assassination just now!
Therefore, the cardinal immediately clenched his scepter and cast shadow spells one after another at Roddy: "Shadow Word: Pain", "Shadow Shock", "Ethereal Touch", and almost at the same time, followed by shadow arrows that were almost instantaneous …
Faced with the overwhelming spells, Rody expressionlessly activated 'Sprint'. He immediately shuttled back and forth between the surrounding enemies at a ghostly speed.
Trapped in the enemy's formation, he had already devoted himself to the battle. He no longer thought about anything else. In his vision, there were only enemies running around him, his allies, and Goethe who was aiming at him with his scepter …
Swinging his sword to cut off the arm of the enemy in front of him, Roddy pulled the enemy's body and dodged backwards. "Shadow Shock" blew the soldier in front of him into countless pieces. In the next second, a shadow arrow that followed closely behind brushed past his chest, but he just barely dodged it.
Such a high density of spells was already comparable to the sum of all the shadow priests before. Although Roddy was only thirty meters away from Goethe, it was impossible for him to rush forward in a straight line. The power of each shadow spell was far greater than those of the previous enemies. The reason why Roddy had not been blown away until now was that he had accumulated years of battle experience …
Before the spell was fully formed, Goethe was able to judge the moving trajectory, target area, and power of the spell, and react in a short moment. Although it sounded like he was "dealing with every move according to the situation", the current Goethe that Roddy was facing was far stronger and faster than all the enemies he had met before. Whether it was Francis, Ansadin, Frank, or even Camilla, none of them could be compared to Goethe at all.
This was not a battle of the same level.
Because his advance was constantly delayed, the soldiers around him began to gather around Roddy, and the falling swords made it even more difficult for him to advance.
In the process of constantly moving, Rody was unable to avoid all the attacks. His arm was grazed by the 'Shadow Word: Pain' and a Shadow Arrow. Goethe confirmed that Rody was not a threat to him for the time being. He immediately chanted a spell and summoned a small 'Shadow Guard'. He then cast a strengthened 'Shadow Shield'.
Everything was going smoothly. He only needed one chance to kill Roddy. But at this moment, Goethe found that the 'Viper's Kiss' in his hand could no longer cast any spells!
Frowning, the facts in front of him confirmed his previous worries: When his mana value dropped below a certain "critical point", this scepter would completely cut off his connection with it!
Therefore, Goethe immediately stopped using the scepter to communicate with the shadow element. Instead, he used his own power to cast spells. But after a short attempt, he found that as long as the scepter was in his hand, he could not control the shadow element like before …
Seeing that Roddy and the Shadow Guard were fighting, he immediately jumped off the horse and stuck the precious scepter into the ground beside him. The moment his skin left the surface of the scepter, the familiar shadow element was finally under his control again, and he could not help but heave a sigh of relief …
Such an accident made him break out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, Goethe was strong. Even without using the 'Viper's Kiss', he was still the strongest person on this battlefield.
Raising his palm, Goethe squinted his eyes and aimed at Roddy, who was blocked by the Shadow Guard, and chanted a spell in a low voice.
"Bang!"
At the same time, Rody, who was about to pass the 'Shadow Guard', was caught off guard and was struck in the abdomen. The guard in front of him was not a 'strength type' that was over two meters tall and clumsy. It was an 'agility type' that wielded a short sword.
Raising his head to dodge the horizontal slash of the dagger, Roddy gritted his teeth and endured the punch on his chest. Thinking quickly, he twisted his wrist and directly stabbed the dagger in his hand into the guard's neck. Facing such an attack, the Shadow Guard, who was not afraid of physical attacks, did not dodge at all. The dagger in its hand went straight for Roddy's heart again!
But Roddy did not pay attention to it and directly activated the "Active Purification" of the "Blade of Purification"!
White light bloomed in an instant. As a summoned creature, the Shadow Guard screamed and retreated, and then with a boom, its head was blown off!
Roddy narrowed his eyes and looked through the spreading black smoke. He only saw Goethe, who was less than 15 meters away. But at this moment, Goethe's spell chanting was successfully completed …
A black array formation filled with incantations appeared beneath his feet. Behind him, a huge dragon head and a pair of blurry black wings appeared.
"Breath of the Nightmare Dragon!?"
Roddy recognized the strongest single-target spell of the Shadow Priest, but he only had time to exclaim when he saw the dragon head's flashing purple eyes staring at his body.
The next moment, a storm-like Shadow Attack instantly shot out from Goethe's palm and enveloped Roddy …
The roar of the explosion and the impact bloomed.
This attack was almost equivalent to the previous "Shadow Absolution" cast at one point. It was so powerful that it even created a large pit with a diameter of more than six meters on the flat ground. The dust that was raised covered half of the battlefield. As the initiator of the attack, Bishop Goethe did not feel proud of defeating a strong enemy. Instead, he cursed in a low voice with a ferocious expression, "Damn scum …"
As a Cardinal Bishop, being forced to this point by a priest was a complete "disgrace" in Goethe's eyes. He glanced around and found that Sally's figure had disappeared in the smoke. Only an empty crystal bottle was left on the ground.
The sky full of dust slowly settled. Goethe took a deep breath and was about to give an order to the side when a figure jumped out without warning!
Half of his robe was torn, revealing a black leather armor. With an extremely calm expression, Roddy continued to rush towards Goethe …
The 'Ring of Pardon' flashed with a golden light after the skill was released. At that moment, Rody had relied on the 'Ring of Pardon' effect to block the terrifying directional skill of the 'Black Dragon's Breath'. In the end, he was unscathed.
"This is impossible!"
Goethe saw with his own eyes that Roddy was hit, but he did not believe that Roddy could survive and continue to attack him. This shocking fact caused him to be stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted —
With a raise of his hand, the "Viper's Kiss" scepter that was inserted into the ground spun more than ten meters away and nailed itself to the side of a guard with a "Ka" sound. He then pushed with his palm, and a purple light bloomed under his feet, causing Goethe to float backward. In the blink of an eye, he had retreated more than seven or eight meters.
This distance was enough for Goethe to use countless methods to kill the enemy that was close to him. However, Roddy did not hesitate and activated the "Full Concentration" skill. When the cooldown time of all skills was up, he consecutively used "Leap" twice and rushed in front of Goethe as if he had teleported. He waved his sword and slashed at the "Shadow Shield" in front of him!
"Bang!"
The huge recoil almost tore the web between Roddy's thumb and forefinger, but it only caused a large black crack to appear on the shield. He did not expect that Goethe's talent, which enhanced the effect of the shield, could not break it in one hit.
"How dare you be so presumptuous in front of me?"
Goethe shouted with a ferocious expression. With a wave of his hand, a tentacle made of shadows wrapped around Roddy's dagger and pulled it away …
Goethe then raised his hand and prepared to end his opponent with a "Shadow Arrow", but when he looked up, he saw Roddy's left hand pull out the dagger on the side of his leather boots and cast the "Turning Strike" skill, shattering the shield on the spot!
At this moment, Bishop Goethe no longer had any protection.
However, this battle-hardened old man did not show a panicked expression like the ordinary spellcasters. Instead, he remained calm and instantaneously released a "Shadow Arrow" at a close distance.
With a "Poof" sound, Roddy who was trying hard to dodge was hit in the left arm, and the dagger fell to the ground.
His body swayed slightly, but he did not make any other attack moves. Instead, he opened his arms and suddenly made a "hugging" gesture …
Goethe had already made countless predictions, and the next spell in his hand had locked onto all the possible areas where Roddy could dodge. However, he did not expect that Roddy would directly rush in front of him and tightly "strangle" him!
Goethe was very clear that this was not an expression of "friendliness" from Roddy. At a distance where they were almost face to face, he did not know how to attack Roddy. If he were to use a "Shadow Arrow" on Roddy's back, the only result would be that he and Goethe would be pierced through …
What was he trying to do!?
Just when Goethe was hesitating, he heard Roddy's incomparably cold whisper, "Are you ready … to go to hell together?"
At this moment, there were many soldiers and knights who wanted to help. However, after the two suddenly "hugged" each other, their attention was collectively attracted by a huge figure that suddenly appeared in the air.
The Needle-Tailed Sand Cone spread its wings and swooped down from the sky. It flew at an extremely low altitude from afar and flew straight towards the two people in the middle of the battlefield.
The "Flight Acceleration" skill was activated. The magic pet that Roddy had tamed suddenly accelerated in the air, and then aimed its long spear-like beak forward …
Roddy's face showed unprecedented madness and malevolence. He tightly strangled Goethe's body, and the corners of his mouth curled up strangely …
"Come on —"
"Poof!"
In the next moment, he and Goethe, who could not dodge in time, were both pierced through.
