The knight in the abyss

Chapter 772 Dark Assault
Almost all mortal races desire eternal youth and beauty, and this is especially true of humans, who are exceptionally short-lived.Driven by this desire, some people explore the connection between the body and nature, some people pray for the blessings of the gods, and some people use the power of wizards or dragons.Others have turned to the darker side of the multiverse, offering sacrifices to evil beings such as demon lords or grand duchesses, regardless of the curses that come with their boons.

Legend has it that Medusa were all women with amazing beauty when they were still mortals. They gained power, status and the admiration of ordinary people by virtue of their appearance. However, the more benefits they get from beauty, the fear of aging in their hearts more intense.Out of fear, or greed, these beautiful women made a deal with an evil being, retained their physical beauty, and even regained their former youth, becoming immortal beings, like demigods living among mortals .

However, as the years passed, they finally paid the price for their arrogance and vanity-the body became the carrier of the curse, and the hair became the lair of poisonous snakes.They are still beautiful, but can no longer gain anything from them, for anyone who still covets Medusa's beauty becomes a monument to her fall.

However, as part of the Fall, these people who originally had nothing but beauty were also given the gift of evil.The moment he heard the other party's voice, even Lancelot could hardly restrain the urge to look at the other party again, let alone the situation of the other companions.Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Lancelot's heart, and his spiritual consciousness quickly concentrated on a black spot on his wrist, violently activating the power contained in it.

With the human knight as the center, the substantial darkness spread like the shock wave of an explosion, squeezing out all the surrounding light.Even creatures with darkvision cannot see through this foggy darkness, so if someone looks in Medusa's direction, they will not be affected in any way.

A vicious curse came from the depths of the darkness.However, although neither partner could see anything, the other senses were not affected.Relying on their sense of smell of flesh and blood, the two petrified golems charged again, and their heavy footsteps let everyone know the enemy's arrival.

But the human knights who created this mass of darkness would not allow them to pass.With a sharp sound of breaking wind, the glacier slammed heavily on the chest of one of the enemies, and then swept towards another enemy with the momentum of the rebound.There was a huge collision sound, and the terrifying force pushed the human knight back several steps.Lancelot was sure that he had probably cut off a fist that was thrown at him, and perhaps cut off a finger or two.The problem is that this weird man-made creature doesn't feel pain, otherwise the injury from a severed finger would be enough to make the opponent lose his fighting power.

At this moment, his spiritual sense felt a sharp tingle, and he also caught two small and sharp breaking wind sounds in his ears.Lancelot subconsciously opened the sword and shield of the body shield to the maximum, and a layer of cyan mask appeared around his body, and the next moment the mask trembled violently like a big bell being rung. The spear-like sword energy shot out, cutting the two incoming magic feather arrows into several pieces.

Lancelot couldn't help feeling a bit of fear in his heart. Obviously, these two powerful arrows came from that Medusa, and they also contained terrible curse power. The consequences were unimaginable.At the same time, the sound of heavy footsteps sounded again, and the flash of light from the sword and shield pierced the darkness, making him a conspicuous target.

Fortunately, the human knights have been fighting alone for so long, and at this time they finally waited for the support of their partners.After being dispelled from petrification by the elven priest, the scholar performed his first spell—a gentle breeze was summoned by the caster to sweep across the dark passage ahead.Four different chuckles followed: one of the familiar voices belonged to Lancelot, and the other two sounded like the ravings of demented lunatics.And there was no joy in the last weird female voice, it was more like a crack was opened in a container full of evil and resentment.

The moment the laughter sounded, the elf priest raised the shield with the emblem of Sune, and eight flying hammer-like holy light missiles shot out from the shield, respectively flying towards the two flesh golems.In the end, only three of them hit the target, but that was enough—Aramir used the spell slot of the fourth ring to cast the spell that originally only had one ring, thus creating a mysterious light that was enough to pierce the darkness.

Brutal and Tanya, who had already started charging, immediately found their respective targets, and confronted two powerful petrified flesh golems without fear.The dwarf first made three steps in parallel, and rushed under the opponent in an instant. The warhammer hit the opponent's knee from the side, and rolled sideways without hesitation after the hit, avoiding the enemy's amazingly powerful counterattack; while the half-elf A similar tactic was also adopted, the halberd went straight to the joints of the golem, and after hitting the opponent, the body retreated quickly, without giving the opponent a chance to counterattack at all.

This is the strategy everyone discussed just now. When fighting golems, the most uncomfortable thing is that they completely ignore pain.The battle mode that everyone is used to is this: if you can hit first, then this blow is feasible, because the wound and pain caused by the attack are enough to destroy the opponent's counterattack, but the golem can ignore this rule.Combined with their amazing power, it is particularly tricky.

But the agility of golems is not outstanding, and the shortcoming of petrified flesh golems is even more obvious. As long as you maintain enough patience, it is not difficult to deal with them.

Taking advantage of the gap gained by his partners, Lancelot switched his weapon back to Frost Slash. The nimble hand and half sword is more suitable for finding the joints, and it is not easy to accidentally injure his companions.The small sound of breaking wind sounded again, the human knight held his breath, and the long sword slashed back and forth in the air, only two clangs were heard, and the two arrows that originally intended to imagine the dwarves were sent aside, and Brutal himself Know nothing about this.

"Leave these two to us!" After another hammer hit, the dwarf shouted confidently, "Go and deal with that evil woman! Don't show mercy!"

"Take care of yourself!"

Lancelot danced Frost around his body quickly, and began to move towards the location of the vicious laughter in the depths of the darkness.The sound of tinkling and clanging sounded continuously, and each sound corresponded to an arrow that was sent flying by him, but this seriously slowed down the progress of the human knight, taking three steps forward and taking two steps back, it seemed at least It can take several minutes to push in front of an enemy—assuming they don't back off and shoot arrows.

But at this moment, a scream suddenly sounded, and then it stopped abruptly as if someone covered his mouth.Lancelot, who received the signal, had a thought, and the surrounding darkness instantly retracted into the black spot on his wrist, and the noble figure in front of him had already knelt down on the ground, with a gap in his throat where he could almost see the spine , while a white palm covered the eye sockets on his face.
