Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!-Chapter 1460 - 1459: LANCER Died Again (Truly Inhuman!)
On one side, RIDER leads his army in a clash against the Scourge Legion.
On the other side, SABER swings the Holy Sword in a fierce battle with BERSERKER.
But the most miserable one is undoubtedly...LANCER.
After all, LANCER’s Noble Phantasm is not very effective in such large-scale legion battles, and in the face of the Undead from the Scourge, his Noble Phantasm is practically useless.
So at this moment, LANCER is being hammered by the Scourge Legion with nowhere to escape, left shivering and cowering within the Royal Military Might of the emperor, trying to fight back.
The Servants within RIDER’s Royal Military Might are naturally stronger than ordinary humans. Initially, when facing those Scourge Undead, they demonstrated an overwhelming force, pushing forward easily. Those tattered skeletons were no match for the Servants.
However, that’s all they could achieve.
With the appearance of Sindagosa, Lady Deathwhisper, and Lord Marrowgar, RIDER’s advance was abruptly halted.
The Undead Giant Dragon flapped its wings, opening its mouth in the sky, spewing out a chilling breath that could freeze the very souls below. Under its lead, one after another, the Undead Giant Dragons roared and charged towards the ground, killing wantonly.
The Death Knights rode their battle horses, sprinting forward with their sharp blades, as if stabbing them into the masses. Behind them, the hulking, big-bellied Abominations and towering Vrykul marched forward steadily. The Wagrie held their longbows, reaping lives from the sky.
"At least it’s somewhat useful."
Watching the battlefield before him, Fang Zheng nodded in satisfaction. The greatest addition Frostmourne brought Fang Zheng was not its formidable power, but that after acquiring Frostmourne, Fang Zheng could directly execute the Sealing of Icecrown Citadel without switching Soulstones.
Hmm?
Thinking like this... if I got Eshinoss, wouldn’t I be able to reconstruct the Dark Temple?
Wait, that’s right!
At this moment, Fang Zheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"I remember I once drew a Solidar before..."
Muttering to himself, Fang Zheng reached out, rummaging through his inventory for a moment, then took out a longbow. Glancing at the battlefield before him, he curved his lips into a slight smile.
Might as well give you all a surprise.
"Boom!!"
Just as LANCER was battling the Undead of the Scourge Legion, suddenly, he felt the ground tremble violently. The surrounding snow began melting rapidly, turning into steam under the intense heat. Even LANCER could feel the burning heat of the ground beneath him, causing him to instantly grow nervous.
Then, before he could react, the earth before him whirled sharply, transforming into a lake of relentless fire. From within emerged a mighty creature, over a dozen meters tall, entirely red and wreathed in flames!
"Have the cannon fodder all died out? No matter...! Now I can achieve what even Sargeras couldn’t! I will water this filthy world with blood and become the true leader of the Burning Legion! The apocalypse is here, let’s begin the end of this world!"
What the hell is this?!
Before LANCER could comprehend what was happening, the giant creature extended its hand towards him. The next moment, a jet of dark energy burst forth from the creature’s hand, striking LANCER and sending him flying.
"Gah!!"
Poor LANCER, being a DPS, was not an MT, nor did he have healing, and was immediately made to cough blood by a single Soul Lash from Kil’jaeden. Just as he scrambled to his feet, he saw the creature once again set its sights on him, raising its hands.
"The enemy is among you!"
"Who can you still trust?!"
As the creature’s words fell, no sooner, LANCER saw four shadowy figures appear around him, engulfing him entirely. Those figures weren’t others but SABER, RIDER, BERSERKER, and... LANCER himself!!
What is this, seriously!!
Before LANCER could shout further, the four evil duplicates leapt towards him with sinister smiles.
"Tsk tsk tsk."
Watching this unfold, Fang Zheng shook his head and sighed. Everyone knows Kil’jaeden’s evil duplicates are a random skill, capable of spawning anywhere on the field.
Yet, all four happened to spawn around LANCER?
One could only say that Lancers have always been fated with Luck rank E...
Poor LANCER, already struggling against a four-on-one battle, now faced Kil’jaeden beginning to channel a Shadow Arrow. Though LANCER used his "Demon-Slaying Red Rose" to strike down several Shadow Arrows, the four evil duplicates relentlessly besieged him, making matters difficul.
But LANCER is still LANCER, and he did come up with his own plan.
"Go! The Dooming Yellow Rose!" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
After dodging another assault from the evil duplicates, LANCER realized he couldn’t go on like that. He roared, clutching a yellow short spear, hurling it fiercely at Kil’jaeden. A yellow light flickered, and the spear pierced directly into Kil’jaeden’s eye!
"Argh!!"
It must be acknowledged that LANCER, as a hero, does have some skills (though he naturally does). Not only did this strike grievously wound Kil’jaeden, but the effect of "The Dooming Yellow Rose" made Kil’jaeden start bleeding uncontrollably.
At that moment, Kil’jaeden covered his eye, curling in agony as the demon’s wings wrapped tightly around him.
"I will not fail! This world is destined for destruction!"
With Kil’jaeden’s fury, suddenly, an immense and invisible dark power exploded outward from him as its center, sweeping across the entire battlefield. Whether it was the undead from the Scourge Legion, the soldiers under Royal Military Might, or the Bone Dragons soaring in the sky, all turned to dust under this blast!
"Perish! Destroy! Chaos!"
Waves of Darkness of a Thousand Souls surged wildly, swallowing everything around. This time, without any preparation, LANCER stood powerless against the oncoming Darkness of a Thousand Souls --- since this was no game, and there would be no Blue Dragon to block it for him, he could only despair as he was blown away, watching as four evil duplicates converged on him.
Then... there was nothing left to see.
So why did you push Kil’jaeden into the Second Phase?
Watching Lancer dissolve into photon particles and disappear into the air, Fang Zheng shook his head helplessly. But soon, at that moment, he caught sight of two corpses on the distant wilderness.
Hmm? Corpses?
Weren’t all that came supposed to be Heroic Spirits? Where did the corpses come from?
Wait... isn’t that Kenneth and his wife?
How come these two are here?
Watching the scene before him, Fang Zheng was a bit bewildered, but he thought about it and understood, although it wasn’t clear how these two snuck in. It was evident that Kil’jaeden’s move ’Darkness of a Thousand Souls’ had directly wiped them out. It’s not surprising, though many thought this was an Inherent Barrier, in reality, it was merely a Sealing. Although a sealing isolates space, it wouldn’t prohibit others from entering.
Of course, generally speaking, ordinary people wouldn’t be able to enter the sealing, they wouldn’t even notice it. Otherwise, Fang Zheng opening this sealing wouldn’t have much purpose.
And magicians certainly aren’t ordinary people.
As for these two lying here, it’s quite normal. If Lancer could at least be considered a level sixty player, then these two were just NPCs from Goldshire... easily knocked down.
One would say, since ancient times, Lancers have an E in luck, bringing their masters’ luck down to E as well.
From now on, I will never summon a Lancer.
Fang Zheng silently made up his mind.
Compared to Lancer, Saber was much better off. She had Magic Resistance A+, although ’Darkness of a Thousand Souls’ caused her some damage, it was not unbearable. However, right now, Saber was equally feeling unwell because Berserker, like a mad dog, was rushing at her with full force beating her up.
What irked Saber more was during the moment when the giant creature released ’Darkness of a Thousand Souls’, Berserker seemed to have known her abilities well, circling around to put Saber facing away from ’Darkness of a Thousand Souls’, using her as a meat shield!
As a result, the unprepared Saber was slammed by Kil’jaeden’s ’Darkness of a Thousand Souls’, almost vomiting blood, and Berserker took this opportunity to almost claim her head. If it weren’t for Saber’s instinctive dodge from Berserker’s strike, she might have fallen alongside Lancer.
But because of this, Saber was extraordinarily furious inside.
I am Britannia’s King of Knights, and you, mere Berserker, dare to use me as your meat shield and set me up!
Do I not deserve any respect?!
Previously, Saber was curious about who Berserker really was. Fang Zheng had said he knew the person, and from the fight just now, Saber detected Berserker’s familiarity with her, even being very clear about the Holy Sword wrapped in Wind King Barrier. All these made Saber very curious about Berserker’s true identity.
But now, she didn’t want to bother with those things anymore!
All she wanted was to teach this disrespectful fool a lesson!!
Let you know that even King Arthur is not to be trifled with!!
Just as Saber was gripping her weapon, preparing to attack again, suddenly, that voice once more appeared in her ear.
"One step closer to annihilation!"
As soon as the words fell, Saber saw Berserker roar, then leap violently, landing behind her. Just as Saber was about to turn to face the enemy, she felt once again that enormously powerful dark force whistling from behind her!
Isn’t this over yet?
Thinking this, Saber clenched her teeth, staring at Berserker, then suddenly a thought flashed across her mind.
That’s right!
Thinking this, Saber immediately leaped up, the Wind King Barrier in her hands completely unraveled at this moment, and she grasped the Holy Sword, smashing down on Berserker with force!
"Boom!!"
Facing Saber’s attack, Berserker hurriedly raised his sword to block, but Saber’s full-force released strike still slammed him onto the ground directly. Meanwhile, ’Darkness of a Thousand Souls’ erupted again, hitting Saber’s back and sending her flying.
"Puff!!"
Sensing the impact of the dark magic power from behind, Saber coughed up blood, then she flipped to stand on the ground. Meanwhile, the Holy Sword in her hand began to radiate intensely.
"EX........."
Saber raised the Holy Sword high, aiming at Berserker and the Kil’jaeden ahead.
Then, swung down with force!
"......Caliburn!"
The golden tide erupted instantly, engulfing Berserker who hadn’t gotten up yet, then heavily struck against Kil’jaeden.
"Nooooo———!!"
Accompanied by the glitter of golden radiance, Kil’jaeden thus was thoroughly obliterated under Saber’s full-force strike.
"Hoo......"
Only until this moment, Saber, completely exhausted, lowered the Holy Sword in her hands, let out a deep breath.
But immediately, a streak of light resembling a meteor flashed before Saber’s eyes.
"Thump!"
In the next moment, the glowing Meteor Arrow pierced Saber’s chest, and Saber, maintaining the half-crouch holding the sword stance, gradually dissolved into light particles, disappearing into the air.
On the other side, Fang Zheng atop the city wall placed down Solidarity: Wrath of the Stars in his hands.
"Hmm, indeed still an Archer restrains a Saber......."
