The last headhunter

Chapter 62 The Power of God
"It seems that you don't know anything about the power of Higgs. You think the move I just used is the limit."

Dleagu smiled slightly, facing the encirclement of the golden armored knight without any fear.

"But after all, there is an insurmountable gap between humans and gods. Those tactics, swordsmanship, and spells that you were once proud of are just tricks that are not worth mentioning in the eyes of Mr. Higgs."

"Let me confirm it again. Everyone in Lipani, are you really going to do something like this? Can you really bear the consequences of violating the will of the gods?"

"We will never believe in a dark god who only uses threats to win faith. All you bring is despair and madness. You will never be welcomed by Lipani."

Drake has seen the world, he has already advanced to a paladin at a young age, it is impossible for him to be intimidated so easily.

In his eyes, De Leago is just yelling like a dog.It is very likely that he himself does not have enough strength, but is just threatening something in a pretentious manner.

If you were scared by him, it would be in his arms.Now that the sword is on the verge of this, it might as well do it directly.

On the other hand, Wilsa Rowling, although she was frightened by the poisonous throwing knife, she did not lose her rationality.But even though she wanted to use her sister's prophecy to persuade Drake's Knight Legion to avoid confrontation with Higgs' messenger, she also clearly understood——

People's hearts are the most important thing.If they are forced to bow down to Deleago because of a prophecy, and even have to welcome Higgs's involvement in Lipani, how many people can willingly obey?
Therefore, Wilsa Rowling kept silent and acquiesced in the confrontation between Drake and Deleagu.

She also wanted to see for herself the power of the messenger of the gods.And if Dleagu is defeated so easily, it means that the future pointed to by her sister's prophecy is not in Dleagu.It's also more reassuring.

Maybe she will regret her decision in the future. But now, this confrontation is inevitable.

"Sorry for the offense. This guest. Please use your own strength to prove that you really have the qualifications to win Lipani's support."

The glamorous venerable magician, Wilsa Rowling spoke slowly.De Leago also nodded with satisfaction to show respect.

"Okay. It should indeed be like this. It is right to be cautious. It's just that the blasphemy and insult to the gods always have to pay the price of blood."

"Stop playing tricks here! Cowardly betrayer!"

Drake let out a roar, and the great sword of the paladin in his heart shone with golden light. With a horizontal stroke, a powerful aura waved from the great sword, gradually covering the surroundings of the Golden Armored Knights like smoke and dust.

"Paladin Combat Skills - Highly Guarded! Attack—Take this Kursk!"

"Yes!"

The ten golden armored knights in the front row formed a battle line, raised a heavy spear nearly ten meters long, and surrounded Dleagu in a circle.The golden smoke and dust condensed on the already brilliant and tough armor and spear, showing its invincible power even more.

And with the deafening battle roar, they are like a circle that is constantly shrinking, and they are constantly approaching inward in a uniform manner.It is conceivable that once squeezed by the golden armor, it will instantly turn into meat sauce!
"There is still time to surrender, Kursk! You and your clan must be judged. Evil vassals!"

"Surrender. Heh."

De Leago didn't have any timidity in his heart, but only a kind of ease and calmness of walking in the courtyard.

Human bullying and arrogance have never changed since ancient times.

"I'm afraid...you have made a mistake."

"It's you who should surrender."

Suddenly, there was a violent fluctuation in the space.The knights in golden armor who were supposed to squeeze the thin Deleago into a fleshy pulp flew away as if they had touched the air, and collided with each other. The violent impact produced shocking ripples, which shocked the entire magic hall. All shaken by it.

Yes - de Leago disappeared!It just disappeared in front of my eyes so easily!And what is that mysterious spell that is enough to tear open a crack in space?Drake couldn't help being a little nervous, and raised the golden shield high to protect Wilsa Rowling's surroundings.

Can feel very strong breath.Although his figure disappeared without a trace, that strong killing intent would definitely not lie!He lurks in the shadows all around him, seemingly out of nowhere.
"Scatter! Be alert! Kursk is nearby!"

Facing such a formidable foe, Drake must exert all his caution and patience to contend.But he is only human after all, how could he be able to defeat so many golden armored knights?
Take your time, Drake.calmly.

He took a deep breath.

"Your Highness! I discovered Kursk!"

A knight in golden armor leaned forward to report.And in the direction he pointed, a black shadow did reappear.

"Very good. Attack! Don't stop! The knights are divided into two teams, the left army is suppressing, the friendly army is responsible for covering, and always be alert to the enemy's movement! The enemy should not be underestimated, but it will not be our opponent!"

"Oh is that so? My dear Lord Drake."

The illusion like a drop of water shattered in the blink of an eye, and the holy and noble knight in golden armor suddenly fell apart.

He was swallowed by the shadows, and gradually twisted into a hideous shadow of night, expanding to cover the sky and the sun.And his body was broken into slag from the inside out, revealing weird and perverse branches.A blood-stained man in black was hiding in it, mocking the stunned Drake with an extremely cold smile.

That person was none other than Dleagu who disappeared without a trace.

However, since he was still surrounded by the golden armored knight just now, how could it be possible——

Derek suppressed the nausea surging in his heart, swung his sword and slashed at Dleagu, but only accurately split the golden knight's body in two.

"Hehehe"

De Leago stepped away from the corpse with a sneer, and the puppet-like man in black in the distance disappeared with a snap of his fingers.

"In the eyes of Higgs, shadows can hide anywhere, in any corner."

"Even including the inside of the human torso, anything that can accommodate [darkness] will become the food that grows in the dark night."

"So, hiding in the bodies of these poor knights can not only ensure your own extreme safety, but also you can get out at any time by disintegrating his body. Do you understand? You have no chance of winning at all."

How can this be?Can the shadow even devour the body?Even things like violent death——

"Take him away. Don't believe this guy's nonsense. Lipani will not bow to the night god!"

Drake's roar echoed in the hall.

"Use spears and golden shields to form a shield wall to protect Venerable Rowling. Immediately, all retreat to my side!"

"Yes!"

The knights in golden armor retreated to Drake with firm and steady steps.Even though there were constant implosions and deaths by parasites, there seemed to be no trace of fear in their eyes.

"Protection enchantment, open!"

The pure white angel wings slowly spread out, forming a giant protective screen.The radiance emanating from such a holy barrier actually stripped away all the original sins of darkness that had long been parasitic on the golden armored knight.

"Stupid loyalty. Even knowing that he is about to be destroyed, he still upholds his stubborn beliefs."

Dleagu emerged from the void, gently wiping the dagger.

"However, it is also in response to the request of that god. If his believers cannot achieve a firm belief in the master, such belief is meaningless and cannot help him anything."

"So, why not surrender earlier? At least you can save your life so that you can shine for Lord Higgs in the future."

"Stop dreaming! The glory of Lipani Sacred Tree Town cannot succumb to this filthy darkness!"

Drake growled hysterically.

"Break through this barrier if you have the ability! The stalwart god of Saint Caesar is watching us. It is impossible for us to lose to Higgs."

"Don't forget. Saint Caesar lost to Higgs ten thousand years ago. Just like now. He can't save you."

Dleagu said coldly, and soon a raging purple flame would be ignited on the cursed blade.At that moment, it seemed that all the light was absorbed by the purple flame, sinking and collapsing into eternal darkness.

The sunlight outside the house could no longer shine in, and it was all deposited in the ancient weapon.And the "Blade of the Curse" is just the one with the worst comprehensive ability among the "Shadow Blades" that Higgs personally created.

Just a weapon made by Higgs, containing only a ten-millionth of the power of that god, is enough to drag the entire land into the night.Drake was at a loss—Saint Caesar's holy wings had completely faded away in front of it.

No. How is this possible!

"Stop it! Where is the father with the Lestin sledgehammer? Lord Rowling, you can't look like this anymore!"

"Damn it, the Paladin's sword has completely faded—"

Drake nervously pondered the countermeasures.But it became more and more confused with anxiety.Seeing that the "Blade of the Curse" is about to condense into shape, the only way to stop him is——

"Knights! Brave Knights!"

He drew out the pure gold epee named "Oslade" and pointed it towards De Leago.Wanjun Thunder is like a roaring dragon, coiling and connecting with it.

Oslade is a "pseudo-artifact" created by Hart Lestin for his own children with all the power of Lipani.It is said to be a false artifact because it does not come from the inheritance of the Knight King "Saint Caesar", but it possesses a power similar to that recorded in historical books, which is enough to match the realm of an artifact.Because of this, Duke Hart Lestin gave it to his child, the youngest Paladin Drake, as the treasure of Lipani Sacred Tree Town.

But because he has never encountered any life-threatening emergency, Oslade has long been dusted.And facing a strong enemy today, maybe it's time for Oslade to make a move.

"Knights! In order to protect Lipani, follow me and attack the evil invader Kursk!"

He felt a surge of hot blood flooding his veins.The enthusiasm for fighting, accompanied by the shouts of the knights, resounded throughout the hall.Although he once fell into a disadvantage, Drake never doubted himself, and never admitted that he would lose.

This is the most elite knight order in Lipani.How could you lose?How can you lose?Kursk, which has been extinct for so long, what can it do now?
This deafening roar of anger—the confidence of their knight order never faded away.

"Are you really, so anxious to die?"

De Leago was a little dumbfounded.Instead, he stopped what he was doing and looked at the rushing knights helplessly.

"Can't kill. Can't kill them all. If they are all wiped out, who can rule Lipani and make it the cradle of gods' resurrection"

"What's more, there are still undead people watching. The prophecy of annihilation cannot be realized. So... just give them a small lesson."

He was talking to himself, and immediately stopped the infusion of darkness, but reversed the method of releasing energy, [slightly] adjusted it a bit.

"I think maybe making your life worse than death is the best way to deal with it."

At that moment, darkness enveloped the entire hall.

When the space was completely torn apart, and a crack separated the knights from Dleagu, the endless and deep shadow abyss was revealed under the feet of the knights, and everyone was stunned.

This is a world completely separated from the real space.It does not exist with any realistic logic, nor is it bound and controlled by any rules.

After all, it is a shadow kingdom that exists independently.

"Destroy."

Accompanied by a whisper that wandered like a spell, a pair of giant hands appeared from the void abyss.

And it grabbed nearly half of the Golden Armored Knights, and dragged them all into the ancient whispering abyss.

In the abyss, there are countless howling undead and eternally twinkling stars.They kept falling with the giant hands, falling, and gradually disappeared without a trace.

"Welcome to Shadowlands. Deadspace."

Dleague bowed slightly.

"This is a gift from the gods. Grant [death that will never come]. Here, your spiritual strength will become the food of the gods."

"O obstinate rebels. This is the punishment for your disrespect. I have obtained the permission of Mr. Higgs to summon the abyss. If you continue to resist in vain, the abyss will continue to expand until Lipa Devour it whole."

"This is your last chance."

"The cursed blade is longing for the soul."

Since then, the proud and arrogant Drake has never been able to utter a single word.

Something in his heart was completely shattered.
