Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 798 Aleister style!

However, at this time, something different happened.

Originally, when the Night Demon appeared, the sky should have been replaced by a blood moon and blood rain.

But at this moment, the dark clouds and storm in the sky showed no sign of dispersing, but just suddenly split open again and again, as if they were torn apart by some force and thus damaged.

Those scattered and mottled scarlet spots of light now seemed to have turned into red stars in the night sky.

The bloody rain formed a series of straight crimson rain lines, falling sporadically! Under each of the holes, a blood column with a diameter of three or four meters was formed. Only the red hole that led directly to the dark clouds would flow with thick blood like a column.

It was as if the dark clouds were pierced with holes, causing flesh injuries and bleeding; it was also as if the dark clouds were the collapsing sky, and one after another bright red thin pillars were supporting the sky.

Aleister narrowed his eyes slightly.

——This was the first time that Night Devil failed to overtake his opponent in "Field Magic".

As expected, he is a genuine upper-level phantom demon...

Heleqin's level was 69, but was forced down to level 50 by the version. Except that he did not have the power brought by the Tiansi fragment and did not have a divine weapon...his basic attributes were exactly the same as the Tiansi who was pulled down by the Tail Ring!

“…It’s so unfair,” Aleister sighed in a low voice, “The Night Demon had just touched the threshold of the sixth energy level, and was about to be balanced by the Sand Clock. And you… should be around the seventh energy level, but you were forcibly suppressed to the sixth energy level, right? But you can continue to fight without worrying about balance…”

"Because I am the King of the Wild Hunt, the Spear of the Great Philosopher. The Wild Hunt itself is a manifestation of the balance of yin and yang. Besides, I am only allowed to fight for a slightly longer time, not without any restrictions."

As Heleqin spoke, he lowered his helmet visor.

There was only a clang, and his voice became dull and majestic: "But you actually know my true strength... and you also know that the world is not only the sixth energy level. As expected, you have a close relationship with the Lord of Scales and Feathers."

The next moment, two dim yellow lights lit up from the eyes of the helmet.

Then, the edges of the pure white horse's wings also turned dim yellow. The shining silver armor on his body also gradually dimmed, dyed into the dim yellow of a stone statue under the setting sun, like a yellowed old photo, with only a momentary afterimage in memory.

According to previous developments, the white armor on the Wild Hunts should have been dyed yellow...

However, what surprised Aleister was that they did not change at all. It was still the pure white ghost cavalry army, standing quietly in the distance.

"I've seen that lady in my dreams and know her fighting style. And she doesn't know me, so this isn't a fair fight."

After Heleqin put on the mask, his voice immediately became as deep and hollow as the principal of the Ziggurat: "We are not mortal enemies, there is no need to kill each other here. It is not fun and meaningless. A warrior's blade will never be pointed at a friend.

"Besides, that lady probably won't be able to fight for long. The existence of demons is not permitted by the Sand Clock, and she herself has no divine authority to protect her, so..."

Helechin said, pointing his spear at Aleister.

"Neither of us uses followers - you fight me in a fair fight."

"Evans" stared at Heleqin in a daze, and subconsciously tightened the thunder halberd in his hand.

——He does have some fighting skills.

That was the knowledge that Heleqin had passed on to him in his dream... It was Heleqin's fighting style. From this perspective, Aiwas and Aleister could be said to be Heleqin's disciples.

How can a student surpass his master?

"I swear in the name of the Dusk's followers, the Great Apostle, the King of the Wild Hunt, the warrior who has obtained the power of the storm—"

Heleqin made a hollow and disembodied voice: “I will suppress both my strength and skills to the same level as you.

"I will only use abilities inferior to yours, and only use the spearmanship that I have taught you; and you can use any other skills besides summoning creatures. If you can gain my approval, I will sign a contract with you, and you will continue to learn the martial arts of the dead from me; if you can defeat me, I will be convinced and worship you as my master... If you are defeated by me, then this matter ends here.

"--how?"

Same numbers, same skills.

It sounds like a fair fight. Compared to Heleqin who fought with all his strength, it seems that he was a little lax...

Yet there is a completely different detail here.

That is [experience].

Although Aleister has Heleqin's 300 years of battle memory, and therefore learned Heleqin's "riding skills" and "gun skills" during his "White Knight" period, Aleister was only "remembering" them in a tricky way, and he might not be able to use them perfectly.

Just like "Yun watched the professional player's video, remembered every detail, and mastered all the detailed knowledge and operation skills he needed to know", but this does not mean that he has 100% of the ability of this professional player. When facing emergency decisions, because he has not developed instincts, his reaction will always be delayed.

Almost all of Aleister's combat experience came from Heleqin, which means Heleqin is Aleister's "master". Heleqin knows every move of his.

It can even be said that... it would be more difficult for Aleister to defeat Helechin in this way than to challenge him directly.

Although Night Demon's own strength could not beat Heleqin, Aleister still had card buffs. He prepared for two days in advance just to be able to stack up the buffs for Night Demon.

With his assistance, the outcome of the battle will be reversed.

——Aleister knew all of Heleqin's mechanisms and abilities, but Heleqin had no idea what Aleister could do. Heleqin's pride as a White Knight prevented him from bypassing the Night Demon and attacking Aleister.

At the same time, the Star Ice and Light of Elysium obtained by Aleister can cause a devastating blow to the Wild Hunt outside of Heleqin - especially the Light of Elysium, which has the ability of [Purification].

Once the spell is fully chanted, the outcome of the battle is clear, for if the spell hits, it will permanently destroy the Wild Hunt, purifying them completely.

Even though Aleister couldn't penetrate Helechin's spell resistance, he could easily pose a fatal threat to Helechin's followers.

At that time, Heleqin would have no choice but to obey Aleister, because after all, they were not mortal enemies and would not tear each other apart.

This future had already appeared in Aleister's mind when he confirmed Helechin's attitude.

...But Aleister didn't want to accept that kind of future.

That was a normal tactic, and it was indeed a way of surpassing the strong by using the weak...but in Aleister's opinion, it was too despicable.

"……interesting."

Aiwass laughed, his blood-red eyes becoming extremely bright: "That's how it should be, that's how it should be—"

The suggestion put forward by Helechin was exactly what he wanted!

The deep, dreamlike purple color gradually seeped into the bottom of Aiwas's pupils, and the light of the path of transcendence appeared again.

It was indeed an extremely difficult battle, and it was almost impossible to win. He was just a priest, a demonologist... He had hardly fought with anyone in hand-to-hand combat. And now Aleister - although he had transformed into Aiwass, this strong and tall body was just an illusion and a hollow shell. Once it was severely damaged, it might break into a little girl.

In the usual battles, Aleister herself would not have any disadvantages, but would have an advantage due to her small size. Because she was a spellcaster unit at that time...

But now, Aleister needs to hold this long weapon and fight with others head-on... Just think about it, this is extremely difficult.

Aleister's body was not even two-thirds the height of the Thunder Halberd. It was inconvenient to even swing it!

In other words... as long as she gets seriously injured once, the outcome of the battle is basically decided.

"--I promise."

But that was also why there was a challenge. Now that Aleister had transformed into Aiwass, he was so excited that the purple and red in his eyes intertwined.

If Heleqin had directly accepted Aleister's invitation and become the beast of sin for her and Aiwass... then Aleister would probably feel empty instead.

——It’s like you are relying on “favors” or “favors” to force the other person to do something.

But if I really use the Night Demon to fight to the death by any means necessary, and use his important followers to threaten him, it would seem that I am inhumane and have forgotten the brief friendship I have established with him.

On the contrary, it’s best now.

There is no need to worry about anything or be shy about anything.

Happy and comfortable——

"I will let you call me Master."

Aleister pointed his thunder halberd at Helechin and declared so.

"Humph……"

Heleqin sneered, and his body disappeared briefly, turning into a phantom.

That's not invisibility.

It was Heleqin's skill that belonged to the Wild Hunt - the "Necromancer Charge" in the [Wild Hunt Tactics]!
Heleqin's figure suddenly dived into the world of the dead.

And in the void, thin frost marks bloomed into flowers, and pieces of ice condensed in the void!

"Evans" suddenly tightly grasped the thunder halberd. As he concentrated on his defense, time seemed to slow down a lot.

He knew that he was not without a chance of winning.

Challenging an enemy that is almost impossible to defeat is an act of transcendence; but challenging an enemy that is completely impossible to defeat is an act of foolishness.

——The key lies in the weapons!

There is no doubt that the Thunder Halberd is much more powerful than Heleqin's weapon. Although Heleqin's weapon was once made of Fafner's dragon bones, the long time has almost destroyed it, and it is too fragile to be infused with too much power.

If Heleqin threw it away and solidified a new spear purely with the power of dusk, its power would definitely be much stronger than this one. The most important thing is that it must be tough enough.

However, Heleqin was unwilling to abandon it. Instead, he wanted to use his own power to protect it... because he was a nostalgic undead after all.

At the beginning, his strength was far superior to that of the giant prince, but he still failed to kill him. The main reason was that he could enjoy the pleasure of hunting the giant royal family... But there was also another reason, which was that the rotten spear in his hand could no longer withstand a battle of too high intensity.

He didn't want his spear to come into violent contact with the petrified skin, thus damaging his weapon. For Heleqin, who couldn't leave Eagle Point Village, this was his only connection with his past. It wasn't until Aiwass gave him the Shadow Blade state that Heleqin killed the Giant Prince with a few shots.

——The reason for all this is that he wants to protect his weapon.

The soldier used his body to protect the weapon. It was just like buying a bicycle and then carrying it on his back and running away...

And here lies Aiwas' chance of winning!
The Thunder Halberd is much stronger than Heleqin's weapon in any case!

Suddenly, Aleister's gun shot out like a dragon!
Suddenly, the sound of collision was heard in the void. Aleister's sudden attack suddenly intercepted Helechin's first invisible attack!

The fire blossomed like a flower, and Aleister stumbled back.

In the dark and stormy night, flames appeared one after another.

Aiwass could barely resist and parry each attack. But each time he became more and more embarrassed. In order to avoid getting hurt, he was forced to lose balance. And the ghost Pegasus could carry Heleqin and charge from any angle.

The war aura that Heleqin possessed allowed him to strike hard at any enemy whose movements were impaired or caught in a pincer attack - this made each of his attacks more powerful than the last!

——I need a mount!
A thought suddenly occurred to Aleister.

"Leviathan!"

he shouted.

"Roar--"

In an instant, the ferocious dragon shark roared and flew into the battlefield.

Aleister turned over and his whole demeanor suddenly changed - what Helechin originally taught was lance skills, and now it is the complete form!

"A little understanding..."

Heleqin's voice sounded hollow: "But maybe it's not enough."

The next moment, a dim yellow light flashed across the air, and Heleqin suddenly broke out from the void!

The last part of the "Necromancer Charge" almost pierced Aleister directly!

The tips of their spears simultaneously stirred up a strong wind—it was Storm Strike!
The howling winds intertwined, revealing two clearly defined areas in the sky. The storm was torn apart by it, the tree trunks that had been solidified by the dusk were bent, and even the dark clouds were torn in two directions at the same time!

And then, there were two lightning bolts as bright as the sun!

——The Wrath of Thunder!
The attack was completely consistent, but the lightning on Aleister's side was even more intense.

Because Aleister used the second effect of the Thunder Halberd:
Use it again to increase the holder's "Lightning Affinity" level by 3, lasting for one minute!

However, the fierce battle between the spear tips lasted only six or seven rounds before the thunder halberd in "Evans'" hand was knocked down.

He was shot through the chest and was picked off Leviathan directly, charging forward with him and nailed to the tree!
Seeing "Evans"' chest being pierced, Heleqin shook a little.

The body of "Evans" was gradually covered with mirror-like cracks. She tried her best to hold the spear that pierced her chest, but was completely unable to pull it out.

"--That's it?"

After Heleqin put on the helmet, his hollow and cold voice slowly sounded: "I thought you could give me a surprise."

Even if Heleqin only used the power of the fourth energy level, he demonstrated performance that was enough to crush the fifth energy level!

"There will be."

The weak voices of Aiwas and Aleister overlapped and sounded vaguely in the rainstorm: "Let Cardinal Valrhona...

"——Let me make you another weapon."

Her weak voice suddenly became calm.

The Thunder Halberd that was shot down was suddenly called back by Aleister.

Heleqin immediately realized that she had deliberately lost to expose her flaws!

So, Heleqin swung Aleister backwards without hesitation to block her own thunder halberd!
But he never expected that Aleister did not slow down the Thunder Halberd - instead, it accelerated it further!
It penetrated Aleister's body directly from behind and pierced through his chest!

——Thus, the rotten spear that Aleister had fixed on his chest with his hands was cut in half!
