Chapter 15 What Mother Said
Chapter 15 What Mother Said
The Law Knights moved with remarkable speed.
With Shi Qing's accurate information, the Pegasus roared past, falling from the sky like meteorites, crashing heavily onto the path that the Blood Corpse was bound to take.
It must be said that the fate of an official force supported by an entire empire is quite different.
Shi Qing timed it precisely; from the moment they engaged the enemy to the end of the battle, it took only about three minutes.
The fighting style of the Law Knights even made Shi Qing feel somewhat bored.
Upon engaging the enemy, declare them criminals as a prayer, then invoke divine intervention before launching another charge. Repeatedly crush the blood and remains until they can no longer regenerate.
There were three such battles, and they were almost identical.
The only thing that Shi Qing was somewhat concerned about was the fourth match.
That was the battle displayed by Quinn, the deputy commander of these knights.
He was fighting this blood-covered corpse one-on-one.
The raven perched on a branch, watching the knights duel below.
The surrounding woods and roads had been destroyed, and unlike the other knights, the commander was now in a rather disheveled state.
The once-shining armor is now mostly broken, and several large holes have appeared in the flesh beneath it.
The longsword at his waist was also showing signs of being dulled, clearly indicating that he was engaged in a fierce battle.
"Damn filth! It has devoured so many innocent people again!"
Quinn coughed up blood, raised his longsword again, and aimed it at his opponent. His holy power barely coalesced into a shield, and his body trembled.
I have to admit that I was too careless.
As the Blood Demon fled, his blood magic grew stronger and stronger, making it increasingly difficult for a second-tier knight like myself to withstand his attacks.
I should have known better than to be so stubborn when I left home; I should have asked the captain for more men.
"Innocent? You lackeys of the law, how dare you use that word?"
Xuehai suddenly spoke up, grabbed a wild snake at his feet, and swallowed it. His injuries immediately improved.
Clearly, it is Blood Demon himself who is now controlling Blood Skeleton and fighting Quinn.
"Should I remind you how many people your revered demigod of law has killed?"
"I merely devour some waste, while your great slave owners can destroy an entire nation in ten days."
"Oh! I forgot, you are revered knights, you have already severed that demigod."
"She is truly pure and immaculate."
Blood Demon grinned maliciously, and Quinn's eyes suddenly turned bloodshot as his anger was reignited.
As a monk, he could not tolerate his faith being commented on in this way, especially since the other party was a murderer.
"presumptuous!"
Quinn released the holy shield in his hand and poured all his holy power into the longsword in his other hand, which instantly burst forth with dazzling golden light.
With a single stride, he mounted the galloping Pegasus and charged towards the Blood Corpse with all his might.
"Hahaha! What's wrong, little knight!"
"Why don't you argue with me?"
"Is it because I'm right?"
Quinn unleashed a single slash, and the blood puppet instantly disintegrated, turning into pools of blood, clearly severely injured. The giant tree behind him was cleaved in half, collapsing with a thunderous roar, demonstrating the immense power of the attack.
But that's still not enough.
After their final charge, Pegasus and the knight collapsed to one side, exhausted.
Meanwhile, the blood and bones were dispelling the holy power and reforming their form.
"Ha, what else can you people do besides bullying the weak with numbers?"
"How can power gained by selling oneself compare to that of us dharma masters?"
Bloodskeletal walked step by step toward Quinn, his chin split open at an exaggerated angle, clearly intending to swallow Quinn whole.
At that moment, a ripple came again from a distant place.
The blood magic on Xuehai's body was once again severely affected, and his barely maintained form was almost destroyed!
"Princess? Why?"
The Blood Demon stared wide-eyed, utterly bewildered.
But when he looked up, the sky was already beginning to light up with glimmers of light and streaks of light.
Daylight is about to break, and the Knights of the Law will soon arrive.
"Tsk, this has dragged on for too long."
After some hesitation, the Blood Demon finally obeyed the 'Princess's' command, abandoned the blood offerings before him, and vanished into the shadows.
"Captain Quinn is there!"
The sharp-eyed knights had already spotted Quinn's trail and rushed toward him, protecting him in the middle.
Unbeknownst to everyone, the raven that had brought them the news was landing on their heads and taking notes.
"Divine magic, based on what we have observed so far, has two completely different forms and intensities."
"Firstly, there is the legion warfare. Five first-tier law knights linked together can unleash extremely powerful forces, which are estimated to be third-tier, that is, the power of the late stage of Qi Refining."
"Secondly, it is individual combat. Lawful divine arts are not good at individual combat; they even have difficulty fighting against creations of the same level."
"From the perspective of power form, the so-called Law Knights are more like an extension of some kind of array, and their magic flow is very different from Vishi's magic."
"A very interesting form of power, which is very different from the power of an individual being gathered together."
......
Redstone Town, orphanage.
Vichy is bragging.
As the oldest child in the orphanage, she had a rather busy evening.
"Sister Vichy, why is your magic acting strange?"
"How can my ability to shatter rocks with a single punch not be considered magic?"
"Uh, but those mages' spells aren't like that."
"If I throw a punch at them, you can ask them if they acknowledge that this is magic."
The children listened to Vichy's ramblings with a mixture of understanding and confusion, while Pavitshini watched Vichy from afar with a complex expression.
She had witnessed real blood magic.
Blood magic comes in many forms. Some can draw blood from other life forms to restore themselves, some can bestow blood upon corpses to create puppets, and others can unleash countless spikes that rise from the ground.
These blood magic techniques originated from various vampire ancestors.
But she really couldn't understand Vishi's blood magic.
"Which ancestor actually liked to use his fists to beat people up?"
Sister Pavitt was completely baffled.
Just then, a sound suddenly came from outside the window.
Vichy looked up and saw a raven perched outside the window, staring at her.
"Stop playing around, you'll have guests coming soon."
"Huh?"
Vichy paused, then a burst of noise suddenly reached her ears.
She looked up and saw a large number of pegasus falling from the sky; the knights of law had returned.
For a moment, Vichy felt a little nervous.
Could it be that the teacher did something unspeakable yesterday, and now the knights have come knocking on his door?
"Ms. Vichy, are you still there?"
Oh no, it's coming for me!
Vichy steeled himself and pushed open the door, ignoring Sister Pavit's eerie gaze.
But before he could utter a single sentence, a heavily wounded knight, his body wrapped in bandages, stepped out from the crowd.
He grasped Vichy's hand tightly, his eyes filled with gratitude.
"Ms. Vichy, thank you for your intelligence. We have successfully intercepted the Blood Demon's attack!"
"This is the reward, a total of eighty gold coins. It's not much, but please accept it."
Vichy looked puzzled, but before she could say anything, Sister Pavit stepped out from behind her and looked at Vichy.
It's as if it's saying, "You've really grown up, you don't listen to your mother anymore."
