The longsword was common, emitting gentle but firm colors. As the silver and purple in Natasha's eyes grew more intense and translucent, two illusionary gaps that seemed to be able to split the world suddenly appeared on the sword. In only one second, the sword had reached Congus' head.
The weak points of a Lich were no longer the heart and neck. Only the head, where the soul resided, could effectively inflict damage to them.
Transparent cracks appeared in the monotonous black, white, and gray under Pale Justice, revealing Demigod-lich who was still frozen with two red needles.
After a puff, the longsword seemed to have hit a piece of rotten wood. The stressful magic effects on Congus such as' Spell Trigger ',' Spell Order ', and' Spell Sequencer 'could not work normally under the influence of the mysterious existence of the World of Souls.
"Ah!" An ear-piercing howl suddenly rang out, and Natasha was sent flying. Blood flowed out from the corners of her eyes, nose, mouth, and temples.
It was not Demigod-lich's Howl, but the blast of Congus' spiritual power when he was extremely furious. Therefore, Natasha was heavily wounded even though she was protected by Pale Justice. Lucien, on the other hand, was even worse. His head was dizzy, and his eyes were blurred. His nose was filled with the smell of blood.
"You are very good! Very good!" Congus gnashed his teeth in a vague voice.
This caused Lucien and Natasha to be shocked. Was this still not enough to destroy him?
Suddenly, Congus' black cloak was separated from the middle, and the pure white skeleton fell to the ground. It quickly decayed and turned yellow, emitting intense stink.
Two deep cracks appeared on the skull, and a holy and gentle light flickered within.
Pa, the skull cracked open, and the small golden skull inside also had an indescribable illusory wound on it, as if it had already been broken.
Without the protection of magic, the damage that Congus suffered from this strike was almost as great as that of Silver Moon Alterna last time.
"Pale Justice", the nemesis of evil, at this moment, it was a legendary weapon!
The light of the Silver Moon converged, firmly suppressing the solidified black, white, and gray on the left hand to prevent it from spreading and affecting Lucien and Natasha.
"I'll be back! I hope you can come up with better tricks! " Congus uttered a declaration that was full of hatred. The gold skull was suddenly split into three halves and fell to the ground, raising a crisp sound that sounded like metal collisions. His soul, on the other hand, quickly faded away.
"Even that didn't kill him! Liches, no, Mages were too much of a headache! Natasha complained half-jokingly, half-relaxed.
Lucien was already lying on the ground, unable to move. The intense pain made his nerves twitch, but he was in a very good mood. No matter what, just relying on the resources and Spiritual Opportunity at hand, he and Natasha were able to kill the Demigod-lich once. Even though he had been stuck at the level of a Legend for hundreds of years, he was still a genuine Legend! No matter how one looked at it, he could completely crush the two of them.
"Of all the sorcerers, cough, sorcerers, the school of Necromancy is the most difficult to kill, and we are facing a Demigod-lich!" Lucien's breath was not smooth, and the pain was deep into his head. However, after he took out the 'Water Song' potion and drank it, his wounds were finally stabilized. "Also, the means of resurrection that he left in this world were used up last time. Judging from what happened just now, he must be reborn in the phylactery in the main material world. Plus the time to rebuild the body, we have more than a day of safety."
Natasha stood up and carefully carried Lucien's left arm back to him. "More than a day? We can make some arrangements now. By then, as long as we delay for one more day, or if the fragment of the World of Souls is still as uncontrollable as today, Granny Hathaway and your teacher should be able to arrive. Also, the longer we delay, the more scared Demigod-lich will be to continue the chase. Well, can you reattach your arm? "
"I'm not a Sky Knight." Although Lucien said so, he still slowly sat up and took over his left arm with his right hand. He pressed it on the huge broken wound. His flesh and veins began to wriggle, and his bones were emitting ivory light.
With the sacred emblem of Ell, Lucien's body was equal to that of a Grand Knight. He also had the buffs of Moonlight Blessing, Water Song, and Silver Moon Alterna. Therefore, even if he could not fully recover, he could still roughly reattach the arm. However, the numbness and pain around the wound made Lucien bite his lips hard to stop himself from rolling and howling in pain.
Suddenly, a cold hand touched Lucien's face, soothing his pain and delivering a firm will.
Natasha slightly frowned, but she deliberately joked to distract Lucien's attention, "You finally know the pain when my abdomen was pierced through, don't you? The healing ability of a Grand Knight is both a benefit and a torture. "
Drops of cold sweat slid down Lucien's forehead and were wiped clean by Natasha. After a few minutes, Lucien finally managed a smile, "I couldn't tell at all. You were even discussing how to roast your internal organs with a heavy smile."
"Hehe. Do you want me to roast one for you right now? Do you have to reattach it? " How's the recovery? "Seeing that Lucien's torment was finally over, Natasha asked the question in her mind.
Lucien nodded, "Alterna released her control just now, which gave the fragment of the mysterious existence of the World of Souls a chance to breathe. Without the enhancement of my blood power and spiritual power, Alterna might not be able to control it. By then, it's still unknown whether or not we can run three hundred meters away in time."
Then, Lucien slightly moved his left arm and evaluated, "I can raise my hand and do some simple movements, but it will be difficult for me to do the complicated movements, not to mention the delicate gestures. I can only completely recover it with the magic and ritual of the school of necromancy in the future."
Seeing that there were no permanent sequelae, Natasha was slightly relieved. With a gloating smile on her face, she raised 'Pale Justice' and made a gesture of celebration. "Haha. Although I failed to completely kill the Demigod-lich Congus, I'm definitely the first Knight to kill a legendary expert in a head-on confrontation as a level-seven expert! That's great! That's great! "
She paced back and forth in excitement, her cheeks slightly flushed.
"This is the adventurous life in my imagination. Tacit companions, powerful enemies, desperate situations, and the more dangerous the battle, the more exciting it is. If I can go back alive, I believe that this will be a memory that I will never forget for the rest of my life!"
"It's the same for me." Lucien looked at Natasha's lips and said seriously, "However, you'd better not pursue such a dangerous battle, or you'll be killed sooner or later."
"Of course, if it weren't for you, I would've directly returned to the area under His Excellency Varantine's control after the battle in the Temple of War." Natasha had always had the self-awareness of a superior. The reason why she left the team and came to Erdo Peninsula was that she received a message from Hathaway before she entered this world. Knowing that Lucien's whereabouts were unknown, Natasha took advantage of her teacher's position as a Grand Cardinal and got the mission of patrolling everywhere to help Hathaway and the Lord of Storm look for Lucien in the areas under the control of the Church.
After more than two months of patrolling, she did not find any clues in the main areas, so she came to the remote Erdo Peninsula.
After saying that, Natasha said excitedly again, "I have to record this in the history of the Violet Family. In the future, people will say, 'Look, this is a real Knight, a brave and determined real Knight, and her sorcerer friend'."
Suddenly, she looked at Lucien with a smile and said, "And I have to record that she not only defeated a Demigod-lich, but also took away the first kiss of a grand arcanist. You'll definitely become a grand arcanist one day."
Natasha was expressing her confidence in Lucien's future. At this time, only by thinking about the bright future could one be more determined to face the danger one day later.
Only by arming oneself with hope could one not be defeated by despair.
Lucien smiled awkwardly and asked cautiously, "Don't you feel disgusted by kissing me, well, a man?"
Scratching her chin, Natasha also said in confusion, "I thought that it would be disgusting, but it was not as bad as I thought. It felt weird. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that you're my best friend, which made me ignore your gender, or maybe it's because you've never kissed before and are cleaner."
She smacked her lips, as if she were savoring the feeling just now.
What a tough girl. Lucien secretly remarked, but he was rather delighted. At least, she did not feel disgusted or terrible, and the progress was better than he expected. "Alright, let's get out of here and take a look at Death Valley. Let's try to find other ways to delay the one day."
"Okay." Natasha had always been straightforward and did not dwell on the problem. She wiped the blood on her face and helped Lucien, who was bleeding too much and was still a bit unsteady, to leave the cave.
After they walked a few steps, a feeble light suddenly flashed in front of their eyes.
"What's that?" Natasha observed carefully, only to discover that a vintage ring with unique patterns was hidden inside the rotten gold skull.
Lucien's eyes suddenly glittered. "When Congus was hit by Alterna, all his magic items were completely broken. He did not return to the main material world or the demiplane on his way. The only thing that he still has with him is …"
"A legendary item!" The two of them said at the same time, seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.
Lucien slowly walked to the ring, but he did not take it directly. Instead, he explained to Natasha, "Many magic items are very weird. For example, my magic robe can hide the soul and take over the body when someone tries to control it. This ring is probably one of Demigod-lich's only legendary items, so I don't know what's so weird about it. You can protect me with 'Pale Justice'. In terms of dealing with souls and curses, it's equivalent to a legendary longsword. "
Natasha nodded and unsheathed her longsword, focusing on her defense.
Lucien calmed himself down and cast 'Identification' on the ring.
