"Priest Amman, stop him!"
Veronica shouted to Amman as she saw Brando running further and further away. She knew that she could not stop Brando, so she could only shout at him. But at the same time, she frowned as she sensed the Hydra Saint coming at her from the side. She quickly turned around and swung her sword at the two heads in front of her.
Cyan Firmament struck the center of the nose of the first head of the Hydra Saint, but the white mist only sank back for a moment before returning to its original state. The resulting thrust pushed the Kirrlutzian Goddess of War back nearly ten meters.
As Veronica retreated, the second head swooped down on her. She snorted and rolled to the side to avoid the attack. The white mist rolled across the forest floor, knocking the surrounding black pines to the side. It was as if a gust of wind had passed through, blowing the Sword Saint's azure hair and blocking her vision.
She turned her head to the side and saw the trainee Knight of the Holy Cathedral blocking the other two heads at the cost of their lives. They formed two rows in front of Amman to buy time for the priest to cast his spell.
Amman hesitated as he got up. He did not know whether to stop Brando or deal with the Hydra Saint. He only had one chance. If he chose to deal with Brando, none of his Knight would survive.
But in the end, his greed for Halran Gaia overcame his rationality. Amman raised his right hand and drew the emblem of the Holy Cathedral of Fire with the agate ring on his index finger. "In the name of fire, you may run, but in the end, you will not be able to escape." He pointed at Brando. "Flame's Prayer, come back!"
Brando, who was running away, almost fainted when he heard the incantation. The Flame's Prayer was a part of the Greater Holy Words, and it was being used by the priest from Einke to deal with a small fry like him. It was common knowledge that in Wohnde, there were only two professions that could cast Holy Word Spells above the seventh circle — witches and priests. As for the witches' curses and the priests' prophecies, they were all known as the words of the gods. They were definitely the greatest weapons among the many spells.
This was especially true for pure Warriors with low Will. Although Brando had the level of an Elementalist, it was too low for him. He only felt that Amman's incantation had just stopped, and in a flash, he appeared in front of him in a circle of fire.
"To hell with it!" Brando cursed inwardly. He immediately turned around and faced Amman, who was sneering at him. He was practically grinding his teeth as he said, "It seems that Lord Heavenly Priest wants to keep me here!"
"Of course," Amman replied.
"I hope you won't regret it!" Brendel did not waste any more time and turned his sword around. He held Halran Gaia with both hands and thrust it towards Amman.
"Arrogant and crazy." Amman's face turned cold. Most people would be a little hesitant and afraid when going against the Holy Cathedral of Fire, but Brando's decisiveness made him feel that his authority was being challenged. The priest raised his left hand coldly, "Solid Wall!"
A golden hexagonal shield of light opened up with his palm as the center, causing Brando's sword to draw a long line of sparks.
Brando knew that this wasn't a spell, but Amman's Elemental Power. Amman's spell was ready at this time. A fiery red light shrouded the priest's robe. Amman was using a Holy Spell to buff himself.
"I advise you to surrender without putting up a fight." Amman dispersed the hexagonal shield of light in front of him with one hand, and at the same time raised his other hand to grab Brando's Halran Gaia. He held the blade between his thumb and index finger, and when his skin touched the sharp surface of the metal, there was an ear-piercing sound similar to metal clashing.
Holy Spell — Iron Fist, Holy Power.
The priest used a Holy Spell to buff himself, and after the buff, his close combat ability was no less than a fully-armed warrior. Although Amman had only used two Holy Spells, Brando could feel that his strength was no less than his own when he wasn't using his full strength.
Amman grabbed Brando's sword and laughed in a low voice, "Although the Baron is a heretic, the Holy Cathedral of Fire and the Holy Cathedral of Fire are not at war yet. According to the rules between nobles, my Lord should believe that the Holy Cathedral of Fire will not harm a noble so easily. The Baron can still pay the ransom for himself — "
The priest of Einke took the time to check if his Knight could still hold up against the Hydra, and at the same time, he gave Brando his conditions.
Why does this guy's laughter sound so familiar?
The thought flashed through Brando's mind, but it only lasted for a moment. The fact that they were still in the middle of a battle made Brando grit his teeth and tried to pull his sword back. Amman's grip on Halran Gaia made him feel that he would not be able to pull his sword back unless he exerted all his strength.
After confirming this, Brando sighed and sneered, "Oh? In that case, in your opinion, what should I pay in order to redeem my life? "
"Halran Gaia, lead the way for Commander Veronica, is that okay?" In Amman's opinion, killing Brando was the safest option, but since Veronica did not agree, he could only settle for the next best thing.
But it was basically impossible for Brando to hand over Halran Gaia, let alone lead the way for Veronica. He looked at the somewhat astute eyes of the Heavenly Priest and secretly took a deep breath.
Amman.
One of the few regional priests in the Holy Cathedral. Although his position was not the highest, in Brando's mind, he was definitely one of the most difficult to deal with. Amman's Elemental Element was Solid Wall, which belonged to the lowest level of micro Elemental Elements. But in The Amber Sword, it was not the level of Elemental Elements that determined everything. Mixed Elemental Elements were chaotic and weak, and Existential Power was absolutely invincible.
High-level Elemental Elements represented more possibilities, and low-level Elemental Elements could also exert great power if used appropriately. Amman was an example.
Relying on the Solid Wall Elemental Element as a backup, he made up for the priest's weakness of needing time to buff himself in a one-on-one battle. When a priest was in his full state, even a wizard would not dare to face him head-on, let alone a Warrior.
In Vaunte, a Priestess who was in her peak state was known as a God. In Brendel's impression, only a Berserker in a Berserker's Berserker's or some special advanced classes could fight against a Priestess in her peak state.
Not to mention that Amman was a few levels higher than him, and this guy probably only needed about one-third of his buff to beat him up.
This absolute difference in power made Brando silent for a moment until Amman spoke again.
"Are you trying to buy time, Baron?" Amman chuckled. "Maybe you are a little fearless, and Lady Veronica won't kill you, but that doesn't mean that others will be treated the same."
Brando was startled.
"Your loyal subordinate is hiding not far from here, but it seems that the beautiful lady is more likely to be Mr. Baron's companion. I'm sure Mr. Baron wouldn't want to see anything happen to his companion, right? "
Amman glanced at the forest.
Amman did not know that his words had ignited Brando's anger in an instant. If there was a bottom line in Brando's heart, it would be everyone related to him. Perhaps it was because he came from the heavy past where he witnessed the death of the Valkyrie and the Regent Princess. He had seen too many stories of loss and sorrow.
Brando knew that if he wanted to break free from this heavy chain, he had to shatter this history and change it with the power he had in his hands. Therefore, he would not allow anyone to threaten him with such means.
He made up his mind in an instant.
Brando shook his sword-wielding arms, and with a burst of power, he pulled Halran Gaia's blade back from Amman's hand. Amman could not help but be startled and took a step back subconsciously. But as soon as he took a step back, Brando immediately closed in on him.
In Amman's view, Brando's move was to prevent him from using the 'Solid Wall' element again. But at this moment, the Priest from Einke was a little surprised. At such a close distance, he could not use the 'Solid Wall' element, but Brando could not dodge his attack either.
Don't forget that the Priest did not only have buff spells.
"You only care about the head but not the tail," Amman sneered and stretched out his five fingers. A cross-shaped halo appeared on each of his five fingers. "Holy Strike!"
He shouted in a low voice, and five light bullets were shot out instantly. Amman did not use his full strength. He knew very well that with the opponent's strength, such a simple attack would not be able to hurt him, so he was ready for the second attack.
In his view, Brando had to dodge, and the only way to avoid the five [Holy Strike] was to dodge to the side. But after the first attack, Amman raised his hand again, and a [Holy Word: Bind] was already waiting on Brando's planned route.
However, what happened next almost made the High Priest drop the spell in his hand in a daze, causing the spell to backfire on him.
Because he did not see Brando coming.
He saw Brando rushing straight at the five [Holy Strike] he threw out. Although the five [Holy Strike] were not at full strength, if all of them hit a person with only the strength of the Golden Domain, it would still be fatal!
Is this guy crazy?
Although the young man was covered in blood, he was still moving forward.
"How is this possible?!"
Amman could not react for a moment. He only knew that Veronica would be severely injured if she took the full brunt of his [Holy Strike], but this guy seemed to be fine.
A berserker?
But Brando's calm and sober eyes told him otherwise.
In that moment of hesitation, Brando had already closed in on him. Amman believed that if the young man attacked with a sword, his robe with defensive spells would help him. The robe of a Priest was passed down from generation to generation, and its defensive power was astonishing. He had even used it to block the attack of the Hydra, so it should be able to block this young man's attack.
But what Amman did not expect was for Brando to hug him.
"Bastard, let go of me!" Amman didn't expect a Gold-ranked swordsman to hug him like a gangster in a fight. But he soon realized that it was an effective method. After his hands and feet were bound, he realized that he couldn't cast any spells.
As a respected Priest, this was the first time Amman had encountered such a situation. He panicked and could only feel Brando pushing him in a certain direction.
Brando, on the other hand, was familiar with the situation. Players were always unscrupulous in a fight, and he knew all too well how to restrain a wizard or a Priest.
Although this method was not completely effective, he believed that Amman would not be able to react in time.
As long as he had a few seconds, it would be enough.
Brando's gamble paid off. Amman could not think of a way to deal with such a ridiculous tactic. While he was panicking, he suddenly heard Veronica's warning, "Careful!"
Amman turned around subconsciously.
His face paled when he saw that his knights couldn't hold on any longer. The huge head of the Mist-Formed Hydra Saint was smashing through a few of them and heading towards them.
"Is this kid trying to drag me down with him?"
Amman's expression changed drastically as he guessed Brando's real intention.
