Hurry up? Hurry up and stop him? Lin Li smiled bitterly in his heart. Lin Li was a Sanctuary-realm powerhouse. What could he do to stop him? Besides, Lin Li's summoning was obviously not as slow as the summoning spells of ordinary people. It was as easy as opening an ordinary door. He had just retrieved the debris of the stars, Thunderbolt, when the black door that was emitting a terrifying aura had already taken shape.
Before Lin Li and the others could react at all, they saw a Nightmare Beast that had reached the peak of the Legendary-realm, leading the Death Knights out of the black door that was formed by black flames. The Nightmare Beast that was at the peak of the Legendary-realm was undoubtedly Rodhart's mount back then, and only Rodhart, a Sanctuary-realm Retribution Knight, could control it.
Although the Death Knights under the Retribution Knight could not reach the Legendary-realm, they would definitely be able to exert combat power that was above the Legendary-realm with the support of the various magic spells of the Retribution Knight. Back then, under Rodhart's command, the Death Knights had almost destroyed the entire Breezy Plains, and countless Legendary powerhouses had perished under the charge of the Death Knights.
"Felic, don't tell me that's all you've got. If you have any other tricks, hurry up and use them. Otherwise, it'll be too late." Seeing that Rodhart had summoned the terrifying Death Knights, Connoris couldn't help but panic a little. He secretly regretted his decision, and thought, I really have nothing better to do. Why did I give up my peaceful days and come here to join in the fun!?
Rodhart alone was already extremely difficult for them to deal with. Even though he had been severely injured by Prophet Willen, he was still a Sanctuary powerhouse. As long as his realm did not drop, his power was still not something that mortals could contend with. Now, even the Death Knights had appeared. Was there anything more despairing than that in this world?
"You're an ancient demon deity who once mastered conspiracy and deception. Don't you have any solution in the face of such a situation?" Lin Li was also a little anxious at this moment. He initially thought that they were just dealing with Rodhart alone, but he actually summoned the Death Knights. Under the command of Rodhart, the Sanctuary-realm Retribution Knight, the combat power exerted by the Death Knights was probably not inferior to that of a Sanctuary powerhouse.
"I'm the f * cking unluckiest person in the history of Anril. What can I do? How did that bastard Willen do things? It's fine if he didn't purify Rodhart, but he even left the Death Knights behind. I really wonder if there's an unspeakable relationship between these two fellas, "Connoris exclaimed in exasperation.
Upon hearing Connoris's complaints, Lin Li could only smile bitterly in his heart. No one would believe that the prophet of the Brilliance Shrine, Willen, who was known as the Son of the Holy Light, and the fallen Rodhart, who had brought great shame to the Brilliance Shrine, were a pair of true brothers. After all, the Temple of Light was only a religion, not a representative of justice and reason. Prophet Willen also had human emotions, so how could he really sacrifice his own family for someone unrelated to him?
However, Lin Li could not tell Connoris about it. After all, it was something that the Brilliance Shrine had been trying its best to cover up. There was no need for him to publicize it. Besides, even if he told Connoris about it, it wouldn't be of any help to the current situation. He couldn't make Rodhart commit suicide out of shame, either.
Staring at the Death Knights that were continuously pouring out of the black gate, Lin Li knew that he had to give it his all in this battle. Taking the opportunity of Rodhart summoning the Death Knights, Lin Li first took out the Summoning Lamp, and released the Lord of Nightmares and the Crimson Dragon. At the same time, he got the Holy Death Knights who were originally blocking Rodhart to hurry over through the connection of the Soul Brand.
After doing that, Lin Li raised the Helios' Scepter in his hand, and instantly condensed a Light and Darkness Sword. However, he did not attack Rodhart, and instead slashed at the giant pillar in the palace that was engraved with exquisite patterns. Although there were defensive mageweaths set up by Osric in the palace, Lin Li was already at the peak of the Legendary-realm, and had even comprehended a trace of the mysteries of the Sanctuary-realm. The power of the Light and Darkness Sword was no longer something that could be blocked by simple defensive mageweaths. With a loud bang, the giant pillar broke, and a large piece of the roof of the palace fell.
"What are you doing!?" Connoris was a little confused by Lin Li's actions.
"I'm tearing down the house. Otherwise, how am I going to deal with the Death Knights?" Lin Li answered, but he did not stop at all. Instead, he slashed another Light and Darkness Sword at the pillar on the other side.
Although there were times when a narrow space was often more advantageous to the party who was at a disadvantage in numbers, Lin Li now had to face not only a group of Death Knights, but also a Sanctuary-level Retribution Knight. It was obviously unrealistic to fight with such an enemy head-on. Without enough space to maneuver, he would definitely die if he were to be surrounded.
Although the spacious space was more conducive for the Death Knights to spread out, Lin Li wanted the Death Knights to spread out so that they could disperse their power. Otherwise, he would have to face the concentrated attack of the Death Knights. After hearing Lin Li's explanation, Connoris also understood, and punched a pillar at the side.
With the collapse of several pillars, the entire underground palace began to shake continuously, and the giant pillars that were engraved with exquisite patterns in the palace were instantly covered with cracks that resembled spider webs. Immediately afterwards, they collapsed with a loud bang. The palace that had lost its pillars collapsed on a large scale amidst the shaking. In the blink of an eye, the magnificent and luxurious palace had already turned into ruins. The people who were originally in the palace were directly exposed to the spacious underground cave.
At this moment, the black door behind Rodhart had already closed and dissipated, and it only took the blink of an eye for it to close. There were also hundreds of Death Knights in the palace, all of whom were holding lances and wearing black full-body armor. They were riding on menacing Nightmarish Beasts that were surrounded by black flames of death. During the massacre of the Breezy Plains back then, each of the Death Knights had killed more than thousands of souls, causing the black flames that surrounded them to flicker with countless distorted faces. They were continuously letting out wails that made one's soul tremble.
Legend had it that when Rodhart wreaked havoc in the Breezy Plains, there were nearly 1,000 Death Knights under him. At this moment, there were only hundreds of them. It was unknown if Rodhart had held back, or if most of them had been purified by the Prophet Willen. Of course, even if there were only hundreds of Death Knights, it would definitely not be easy for Lin Li to deal with. Although Lin Li also had a team of Death Knights under him that had been transformed into Death Knights that could manipulate Divine Power, there was a saying that was very appropriate here: "Soldiers are weak, but generals are weak."
Rodhart was a Sanctuary-level Retribution Knight, while Lin Li was only at the peak of the Legendary-realm, and had only vaguely touched the mysteries of the Sanctuary-realm. In fact, he couldn't even be considered to be at the edge of the Sanctuary-realm. Besides, Lin Li was not a real Retribution Knight yet. Although he had subdued a group of Death Knights, he did not know any of the magic spells that the Retribution Knights were born with. When the two sides were compared, one could see how obvious the difference in combat strength was.
Rodhart, who had summoned the Death Knights, did not stop and wait for the Death Knights to encircle the enemies. Instead, he waited for the Summoning Gate to close and dissipate before waving the Eternal Frost Blade in his hand without stopping, and launching another fierce attack at Lin Li. At the same time, the Death Knights also divided into several teams, and surrounded Lin Li's team.
Although Lin Li's team was made up of powerhouses that were above the Legendary-level, they could only barely withstand the siege of the Death Knights. The cooperation between the Death Knights could be considered seamless regardless of whether they were attacking or defending. They had a better tacit understanding than any well-trained team that Lin Li had ever seen. Or rather, it could not be said to be tacit. The Death Knights seemed to be one, and no one could find the slightest flaw that could be exploited.
At this moment, the team that was originally blocking Rodhart in the palace in front had also rushed to the palace that had just become ruins under the leadership of the tender Elemental Wyrm Xiao Hua.
Although Xiao Hua was usually a little rascal, there was a trace of anxiety in its clear eyes when it saw that Lin Li was in danger under Rodhart's attack. It couldn't be bothered to care about the team below, and simply flapped its cicada-like wings while shrieking and flying towards Lin Li. At the same time, it instantly cast countless powerful magic spells that formed a massive magic storm that seemed to be able to destroy the world. It swept towards Lin Li in a bid to get rid of all the obstacles in front of it.
However, the magical storm that seemed like it was going to destroy everything encountered an insurmountable barrier. After a series of violent explosions and roars, a Nightmare Beast with an incomparably ferocious face and black flames all over its body revealed its figure in the magic dust. The Nightmare Beast was Rodhart's mount. Back then, it had followed Rodhart and fought countless powerhouses. Hence, it had already reached an astonishing level in terms of strength and experience. It could probably be called the King of Nightmares.
Seeing that its path was blocked, the tender Elemental Wyrm Xiao Hua clenched its fists and roared angrily at the other party. The pure and massive Menace of the Dragon also surged towards the other party like an invisible wave. If it were an ordinary Nightmare Beast, it would probably have to hide as far as possible in the face of the Menace of the Dragon that was superior to all creatures even if it had the strength of a peak Legendary-mage.
However, the owner of this Nightmare Beast was the Sanctuary-realm Retribution Knight Rodhart. The reason why the Retribution Knight was known as the Retribution Knight was precisely because his existence was a challenge to the laws of the world. Hence, he had the arrogance to despise all authority. Although the Menace of the Dragon of the tender Elemental Wyrm was close to the level of the Dragon Aspect, it made the King of Nightmares even more furious.
"Roar!" With an angry roar, the aura of the King of Nightmares suddenly skyrocketed several times, as if it was about to break through the Sanctuary-realm at this moment. The boiling black flames emitted a terrifying death aura, and countless Dark Magic spells instantly gathered, sweeping towards the petite figure of the Elemental Wyrm like a tidal wave.
One was the descendant of the Dragon of Dream, while the other was the King of Nightmares that was only a step away from stepping into the Sanctuary-realm. The two powerful existences that stood at the top of Anril were engaged in a terrifying and intense battle in the sky above the dilapidated battlefield.
On the ground, the team that came with the tender Elemental Wyrm Xiao Hua also stopped in front of an insurmountable barrier. The team of 40 Holy Death Knights and 40 Archmages was a force that no one in the Breezy Plains would dare to belittle. However, there were only 50-odd Death Knights here, but they were like a natural moat that blocked their way.
The Holy Death Knights could not be compared to Rodhart's Death Knights at all, be it in terms of cooperation or individual strength. If it weren't for the fact that they could manipulate Divine Power, more than half of them would have been killed in the first confrontation. As for the mages of the Tower of Dusk, the tacit cooperation that they had always been proud of was simply unbearable when compared to the Death Knights. Fortunately, the Holy Death Knights were blocking the periphery. Otherwise, the group of mages would have been slaughtered wantonly.
No one knew how terrifying the Death Knights that had once swept through the Breezy Plains were. However, the hundreds of Death Knights in front of them that had been in slumber for hundreds of years had indeed brought great danger to Lin Li's team.
The Vampire Norfeller was the first servant to follow Lin Li, and he stepped into the Legendary-realm by sucking the blood of green dragons in the green dragons' lair in the Haiga Mountain Range. Although green dragons were of a relatively low level among the wyrms, the blood of green dragons still had extraordinary power. Hence, even after stepping into the Legendary-realm, Norfeller still had a great advantage in all aspects compared to Vampires of the same level.
Vampires had always been known for their speed, and were also known as natural assassins. Norfeller's speed was something that Vampires of the same level could not compare to. When he exerted his speed to the extreme, his body would be like a flickering black lightning that made it difficult for others to really catch him.
However, assassins emphasized hiding their tracks and waiting for the right opportunity to strike. They would escape immediately if they failed to strike. Although being as fast as lightning was important for assassins, the combat style that affected their performance was more important. Letting an assassin fight the enemy head-on was obviously not a suitable combat style for assassins.
