The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 643
Demons, as evil creatures that naturally admire chaos, always like to fight in chaos on the battlefield, but if someone underestimates them because of this, it can only be said that they are seeking their own death.

The most powerful weapon of a demon on the battlefield is neither their physical strength nor their malevolent spells, but the inherent evil nature of demons, and the evil aura (fear aura or fear field) caused by this is in the battle. Enough to destroy the morale and mind of most mortals before it happens.

Fear boosts a demon's stamina and regeneration, sending them into a frenzy (somewhat similar to a berserker's frenzy), while also making their fear aura even more deadly.

In the face of demons, a mortal army not only cannot exert a numerical advantage, but will contribute to the demon's advantage because most soldiers suffer from psychological blows.

Only the most courageous and determined warriors dare to stand in front of the devil and swing the sword.Therefore, in Faerun, the most effective way to fight against demons is to select a group of brave men who dare to draw their swords in the face of demons, and form a capable and powerful elite squad to siege and kill demons.

Obviously, among the sergeants under William, there is no such an elite group against demons, but his family members have experienced countless adventures that are unimaginable to ordinary people, and their hearts and wills are already strong enough to resist the terror of demons With William as the backbone, they can naturally become the little green among thousands of flowers.

Demons always like to drive cowardly mortals to overwhelm those mortal rebels who still have the courage to fight, and attack those few warriors on a fixed-point basis.

It's just that before the demons organized a rout, the plan had to be aborted, because the Cambion demon who challenged him was hacked to death as soon as he fought, and then all the remaining demons were exposed A terrified look.

The point is not that they are not William's rivals, but the way the Cambion demons die.

Under normal circumstances, after a demon (or devil) is killed, it does not really die, but is expelled from the main material plane in a weakened state, and is imprisoned in the demon's birthplace for 100 years.

As for the Cambion demon killed by William, its demon essence did not return to the bottomless abyss, but was completely shattered and annihilated, which is no different from the annihilation of body and spirit.

There is a unique telepathy between demons, so the abnormality of the death of the Cambion demon is almost immediately noticed by other demons.

When William hacked to death the second demon again, all the demons fully understood a truth. This human lord has the cheating ability to kill the character and the player along the network cable.

This will really kill the devil.

May I ask which demon is not afraid of death?

William slashed the third demon with a swing of the autumn water knife, and then the rest of the demons went crazy.

They are no longer willing to fight against William, and they have no intention of driving and slaughtering other mortals. Instead, they use their heads to bump into the swords of mortals one by one. As long as they are opened by human soldiers, they will be desperate Let the opening become fatal, and then in ecstasy, become a mass of demonic ashes reeking of brimstone and foulness.

Baird was the only one among the sergeants who dared to wave his weapon at the demons. Obviously he was not the opponent of any of them.But what he never imagined was that those demons who could kill him like butcher chickens would deliberately hit his sharp sword with their vitals, and the joy on their faces when they were about to die was obvious Heart palpitations.

Of course, Baird is not the only one who has this kind of treatment. Feniya also encountered the same situation. The demons scrambled to get under her battle axe, almost rushing to die.

There is no concept of suicide in the nature of demons. Their behavior of leaving the world with the help of human swords is just a means of diverting themselves, but it is absolutely impossible for them to cut themselves, because then they will become outcasts of the abyss.

That's right, the suicide of the devil is not allowed, it does not conform to the essence of the abyss, what is the suicide of the evil one?Afraid of sin?Still repent?

The last two demons had no time to attack the mortals, because they were too far away from Baird or Phinea, while William was already close at hand.

So the two demons turned their hearts to each other and slashed each other at their companions. Of course, this way of mutual relief is extremely rare among demons, because in the killing between demons, the winner will permanently plunder the loser. A part of the devil's essence, the killed devil has a certain chance to completely disintegrate, and the essence will turn into the lowest devil larvae, and they may not have the opportunity to grow back to their original height.

Of course, the best ending for a demon killed by a demon is to be resurrected in a weaker state (compared to being killed by a mortal) in its birthplace.

The two demons attacked each other's vital points, but one of the demons deliberately slowed down the ax in his hand. When it turned into a cloud of demon ashes with a wicked smile, it left behind a stronger one of the same kind. There was a rage, and countless filthy and profane words jumped out of the mouth of the living demon.

When William stood before the demon, the demon with the head of a ram and hooves of a knuckle knelt on the ground like a human, and begged the mortal lord's forgiveness in the unfamiliar Common Tongue, even professing to offer to William allegiance.

It's a pity that William didn't even hesitate for a second, and directly hacked the malicious demon to death. Although he didn't know what evil intentions this evil monster had, the deadly sense of crisis that shrouded it did. Not fake.

After all, demons are lunatics whose nature exists for destruction, and William has a clear understanding of this.

All the demons that appeared were basically killed and cut off, and the killing of chickens and monkeys caused by greed and ambition was successfully concluded, and the next step was to calm people's hearts, mainly to eliminate the psychological trauma caused by witnessing demons.

This is a very necessary job. If a mortal who has witnessed the real body of a demon does not have a strong enough will, it is easy to be haunted by a nightmare due to mental trauma (here is not a nightmare monster, but a kind of monster similar to ghost pressure) Bed-like mental illness), and finally died of depression or degenerated.

In this sudden battle, it was the brave Baird who benefited the most. Four demons died under his sword. Although their deaths had nothing to do with Baird's fighting skills, it is undeniable that only With the outstanding courage and strong will of the captain of the lord's guard, it is enough to cover up all problems.

Besides, there are additional benefits for a mortal to kill demons head-on on the main material plane. Baird feels that his strength is stronger, his hands and feet are more responsive, and the sharp sword is easier to use. What's more, he feels He has become fearless against any evil, even if an evil dragon stands in front of him, he dares to draw his sword and rush up to chop a guy.

Baird's real benefits after killing the demon, if described in game terms, is equivalent to him getting attribute bonuses: strength +[-], agility +[-]; bonus specialties - magic sword (front Sharp Sword) Specialization and fearlessness.

Fearless - You have the courage to face any terrifying foe, what doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger (psychologically).

Of course, reality is not a game, and Baird certainly cannot understand the true connotation of this kind of reward from the level of world rules.

Phinea and the two little girls also got some rewards for killing demons. For example, Misha can release more fireballs every day, Miluna feels that her hand crossbow skills are more proficient, and Phinea is in the Gained in madness.

The only one who didn't gain anything was William. Killing the devil didn't bring him any benefits, except that his reputation became louder among the people.

The people who are the most professional in soothing people's hearts are the temple priests from the good side of order. The magic they master is the most effective means to fight against the pollution of demonic concepts. Not as efficient as a most junior priest.

The most famous temple near Dagger Falls is the Lathander's Light, the sanctuary of the Lord of Dawn.

This magnificent and beautiful temple is not within the walls of Dagger Falls Town, but a little upstream on the south bank of the Tessa River. When in the sky, the temple will be shrouded in golden light, giving people the illusion of being in heaven.

At William's request, Cheval Starcloak used [Heroism] to temporarily heal the trauma of several political officials. Without their assistance, most of the camp's affairs would always be a mess. Of course, it's not that William doesn't have the ability to deal with trivial matters. , but he has more important things to do.

For example, go to the Temple of Light of Losander to seek assistance, but also to investigate the origin of the devil.This is very important, and even William can't pretend to be someone else. The secret name that the big bear Badal told William before his death is the Light of Lathander.

There is another irritating thing, which of course can be said to be expected and inevitable. The monsters who were previously held in isolation have all escaped, including the shapeshifter Larouche and the star robe family. Looks like a stubborn elf.

Of course, this matter does not need to be handled by William himself. Baird became the new leader of the soldiers. With William's permission, he selected a group of sergeants who were not seriously traumatized and formed a special investigation team. While guarding the camp, investigate the inside story of the prisoner's escape.

In fact, this is just a formality. After all, the devil's chaos is the cause of the whole incident. This is an irresistible accident that no one can predict.

William rode an ordinary steed through the water curtain road below the waterfall, and then hurried to the Lathander Temple of Light.

The reason why he didn't ride the Pegasus was because he specially left it for Misha'er and the others. William knew very well that there were still some malicious existences hidden in the camp, but he didn't have time to identify them one by one. Take time out, but those who don't have long-sighted guys will never have a good end.

The priests of Lathander's Light are proud, they have a very special status in the valley, and even the invaders of Zhentil Castle dare not disrespect them.

However, now that the gods have descended into the world, it is no secret that all the priests who believe in the gods have lost their divine grace. It is unknown whether the priests of Losander can still use the spells that soothe people's hearts, but it is not unreasonable. alternatives, such as Blessed Holy Water.

The first purpose of William's coming to the temple was to buy enough holy water to ensure that nearly a thousand people in the entire camp had enough shares, and each person had to drink at least one ounce of holy water every day.

People with a strong will may only need to drink holy water for a day or two to return to normal, but those children with weak will or immature minds need to drink it for at least one or two months before they can barely eliminate hidden dangers.

Obviously, this will be a considerable expense. After all, no temple will provide such a large amount of holy water to outsiders for free. Of course, if the priests of the Light of Lathander can still use divine spells normally, the consumption of holy water will Naturally, it will decrease exponentially.

After all, even pouring ten liters of holy water is not as effective as a [Remove Fear] plus [Stable Mind].

When William came to the entrance of the Light Temple of Lathander, he smelled a familiar smell, which was a unique smell.A smell that can only be produced in the process of indescribable communication, and it is also mixed with a very special smell of corruption, which is a bit similar to the smell of rotten rose petals.

William restrained his aura and concealed the presence of his figure. Unless someone looked directly at his figure, it would be difficult for anyone to detect his existence.

This is the ultimate ability of the strong Dan Jin - not leaking.When there is no sound, no breath, no spiritual breath, isolation from inside and outside, no movement without falsehood, and no leakage of great achievements, you can become a Buddha and become a patriarch.

Of course, William has not yet reached the state of turning his body into a normal state. He is still far behind, that is, with the help of the energy of the curse fire, he can maintain his body and breath without leaking in a cup of tea.

However, this has given William a desperately powerful ability to sneak in. When he swaggered through the gate of the temple like nothingness and walked into the sacred hall, he finally saw a surprising scene.

A beautiful woman with soft, provocative hands like catkins, sharp claws, blank white eyes and feet like goat hooves. This is a demon, a beautiful demon, with a pair of quilts on her back The scorched, battered bat wings, and the four thorny tails, about ten feet long, twisted and uninhibited, against the backdrop of a flawless body, corrupted and distorted her beauty, confusing people's minds.

In front of the devil, a few skinny human beings with ashen faces were entangled with him fanatically, but they were shouting the holy words of praise to Losander. It was an unsightly picture of evil. .
