The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 297 The Saint is Invincible

William didn't know what Ibrando was, but it didn't mean that Yasuna didn't know. In order to plan the frost giant's ancient ritual, Yasuna specifically inquired about the gods.Especially for ancient relics like the Frost Giants who have not completely cut off the inheritance of civilization, the understanding of the gods is absolutely indispensable.

There are many ways for a god to appear on the main material plane, among which the three methods of projection, incarnation, and the coming of saints are the most common.Gein, these three methods are the easiest to operate for the gods or their believers, and are sufficient to deal with most situations. Of course, they also have their own advantages and disadvantages.

The momentum of the projection of the gods is extremely large, less restricted by the main material plane, and the divine power that the gods can exert is also greater. It can even be performed multiple times if conditions permit, and the damage received by the projection will not affect the main body. Can only be accepted by the summoner.The disadvantage is that it needs the positioning coordinates of the main material plane—that is, the guidance of believers. The duration of the projection of the gods is extremely short, and the price paid by (believers) is also extremely high.

The avatar of the god is equivalent to a clone of the god, and can go to any plane without being restricted by the coordinates of the believer.However, the incarnation of the gods will be suppressed by certain plane rules on the main material plane, that is, they cannot directly interfere with what is happening on the main material plane. If they interfere forcibly, they will be attacked by the power of the entire main material plane. This kind of situation can only happen on the main material plane, and other elements like Outland Elemental Plane, Purgatory, Abyss, etc. are not subject to this restriction.

The incarnation of the god is closely related to the god itself. If the avatar is injured, the body will also have a corresponding injury response. In some cases, the death of the avatar may even cause the body to fall together.

As for the coming of the saint, it is a ray of spiritual imprint separated from the body of the god, occupying a complete body voluntarily offered by a local creature. To put it bluntly, it is no different from seizing a house.The saint who has seized the house has the ability to cast spells, and its ability is equivalent to that of the most basic archmage (that is to say, the caster level is equivalent to a 18th-level mage/warlock, but there is no ability bonus of a legendary mage), and he can use the divine power of the main body to cast the master. Any magic that belongs to its domain that the material plane can allow, and at the same time, this saint has another chance to use [Perfect Transformation] to change his own form.

For saints, [Perfect Transformation] is definitely a very practical ability.For example, the ability of a saint in battle is limited by his own body. The combat power of a human saint and a red dragon saint is absolutely worlds apart.However, the difficulty of seizing a giant dragon is also very different from seizing a human being. At least I have never heard of any god who has used the body of a giant dragon as a support. [Perfect Transformation] allows the saint to freely choose any non-solitary creature on the main material plane (that is, creatures with multiple populations, such as Tequilas giant beasts, which can only have one individual in each plane) known as a solitary creature) as a template, transforming into another form, the saint will have all the racial abilities of the creature of that form.

It’s just that for most gods, descending in the form of a saint has a problem that makes them taboo. Some sensory characteristics possessed by mortal bodies (such as hunger, desire, and greed sometimes cause them to do something. Uncontrolled behavior, of course, there are also a small number of gods who have no intention of resisting this, and a certain goddess even left behind a group of cubs because of this.

At this time, William had joined Yasuna, and Ibrando's coercion almost made him despair, but when he got close to Misha'er, William found that this coercion had been weakened.He has been facing the direction of Ibrando to guard against the attack of this ferocious "monster", and said without looking back: "Yasuna, break the wall behind you."

Yasuna held the shield and ax nervously in both hands, trembling in despair: "No! William, we can't run away, the one standing in front of us is a god."

Saint Ibrando did not take William and others seriously. In his eyes, no matter how powerful the "ants" were, they were still ants, unless the ants evolved into gods like him. Of course, this was impossible.While Ibrando cursed Mystra, who was in charge of the magic network, he roared and rushed towards Miluna who was behind William. He didn't dare to use any power from the magic net, because the damned magic channel was messed up. Who It is also impossible to determine what effect the spell energy released will have.Similarly, Ibrando did not dare to use divine spells. He who had lost his godhead could no longer use his original divine power. At this time, the divine power possessed by his holy body was extremely limited, and there were so few disciples of the Cave God. Restoration Getting up was extremely slow, so Ibrando had to plan carefully to save his life. After all, God is not invincible, not to mention that He still has so many enemies.

Saint Ibrando is a huge guy, and his terrifying height of nearly fifteen feet endows him with unparalleled impact.William had no choice but to go forward to stop them, because if they ran blindly, the five of them would soon be caught up by the saint Ibrando.William sprinted forward, like a civet running at night, the closer he got to the saint, the more he could feel the coercion of this colossal creature.

William has never encountered such a terrifying monster. He has slain dragons, killed northern ice worms, encountered rampaging giant baboons, and beaten Sharon, but even ten white dragons combined cannot compare Ibrando's terrible.William even had the illusion that he was facing a scorching sun that incinerated everything. That terrible light burned his soul, burning and scorching from the deepest part of his heart.

When he got close, the terrifying coercion almost made William faint. Relying on his incomparable willpower, he delivered the first blow with difficulty.

The autumn water knife was pulled out quickly, facing Ibrando's ankle sideways. William believed that with the sharpness of the dream-breaking knife, even if the monster's body was made of steel, this move was enough to cut off a sole of the monster's foot.Both William and Ibrando were extremely fast. In an instant, the two rushed past each other. The Saint charged forward as usual, but William staggered and stopped. His face became ugly, and Chekin Duanyu's pure gold saber couldn't cut the monster.

At this time, it was Yasuna who stood in front of Ibrando, not because she was brave enough, but because the two little girls hid behind the leader of the female frost giant.Yasuna held up her battle shield and hand axe, staring stiffly at the charging holy troll.

For the "ants" blocking the way, Ibrando slapped impatiently, casually as if driving away a fly that disturbed the tranquility.The ten-thousand-year-old ancient pine above the snow line of the Ridge of the World only grows a tenth of an inch every 100 years. A giant shield made of this wood is stronger and more durable than any metal shield. Even a pure gold battle ax can only There was a shallow thin mark on it, but now it shattered like fragile inferior glass.

Yasuna spat out dark blue blood, her breastbone was almost shattered, and she flew upside down like a straw stack, hitting the wall of a wooden row house with a "slap".Slowly and softly like hanging a painting.

Finia was furious, his eyes were blood red and his canthus burst open, his forehead was bursting with blue veins, and he threw out his keel shield angrily, smashing towards Ibrando who was rushing forward, and at the same time swung the thunder frost with both hands, and jumped up Chop against the wind.

Ibrando raised his hand to block it, and slapped away the smashed keel battle shield. The battle shield split open with a "click", and two of the three inlaid dragon teeth were also snapped off.Thunder Frost followed the keel battle shield, and the giant saint had no time to resist, but when the battle ax hit Ibrando's forehead, it was bounced off without causing any damage to him.

Almost insane, Finia launched the second and third blows without stopping to slash Ibrando's head, neck, waist and hips, but he couldn't hurt Ibrando at all.Ibrando was very annoyed by being knocked down so continuously. He waved his hand towards Phinya, trying to blow this annoying "ant" away, but he took time out. teaching worked.

Although Ibrando possessed unparalleled divine power and a huge body, his flexibility was inevitably affected. Although it was not "clumsy" in the word, it was still a small shortcoming.Relying on the steps William had taught him in the past, Finia quickly walked around behind Ibrando, slashing and slashing with Thunder Frost in his hands, although he couldn't hurt the opponent, it also attracted the attention of the saint.

The irritable Ibrando couldn't control his anger. He couldn't bear the unscrupulous provocation of an "ant". The holy troll temporarily dominated by anger forgot his original goal and turned to hunt down Finia.

In fact, Ibrando's physical flexibility is no worse than that of Phinya, and even a little bit higher. When he focused on Phinya, the female half-giant began to feel a little hard to support, and it was dangerous after a while. ring life.

But fortunately, Phinya is not fighting alone, and William, who is more powerful, is beside him.He rubbed his body up again, and the autumn water knife slashed out like the wind, and the knife slashed at Ibrando's "vital point", but an inexplicable force blocked the blade's incision, as if covering Ibrando's body surface. There is an invisible force field, so that he will not be harmed in the slightest.

This was a desperate battle. William tried more than a dozen methods in a row, including slashing, blunt attack, [Fire Slash], and dark force. He was still unable to cause any damage to the enemy. He hit him with a punch, but almost lost his life because of it.The layer of power covered by Ibrando's body surface contained a terrifying impact of will. When he touched it with his body, a terrifying force of thought rushed into William's body and rushed into his mind.If it wasn't for William's spiritual will being strong enough, he would have been almost turned into an idiot by the shock.

William can only cooperate with Phiniya to interfere with Ibrando's attention and stir up his anger, so as to attract the other party to delay time.
