Chapter 12 The Ups and Downs (4)

With the announcement of the Death Knight Lord, the invisible force hit the priest's light shield, and countless spider-web-like cracks immediately exploded on the defensive barrier formed by the holy power.∷∷, and Neham, who was the first to be hit, had to open the light shield that he rarely used to resist. When the enemy was in front of him, he could not distract himself and looked back. He could only infer the general situation based on the continuous cracking sound behind him.

"The Lord Priest is the spokesperson of the morning light, and you can see it as soon as you want."

Alicina held the scepter of the sun emblem and wore a robe full of embroidered prayer, leading high-level priests to join the war. Their joining greatly relieved the pressure of the priest, and the broken light shield was quickly repaired. Except for some bold ones, most civilians took the opportunity to escape into the buildings outside the Hall of Light.

Seberian's eyes were condensed, and he sneered after scanning Alicina, who appeared in the archbishop's formal attire: "In just forty years, the post of Archbishop has changed twice. Humans are really fragile."

Alicina immediately angrily scolded: "Stop talking! The lackey of death!"

More than a dozen bright white lights shot out from the tip of the scepter, avoiding Neham in an arc shape and then continuing to rush forward. The dead souls that overflowed from the Great Sword Soul-Devouring were purified at the moment of contact with it.

Faced with this imminent and inevitable blow, Seberian just raised his left hand and his palms turned outward. The light seemed to be attracted by some kind of attraction, and it actually synthesized into a beam of burrow into his palms and disappeared.

All the Dawn Cultists, including Neham and Alicina, were all fascinated.

Elias and Hicks are in opposition to both their clergy and attributes, and are two forces that are absolutely impossible to compatible. Whether it is Rams who has lost his favor or the Death Knight Lord of the Immortal Empire, it is impossible and should not absorb the divine power from the Morning Sun. The only possibility is that Seberian was born in the sect and still remains qualified to be a believer in the Morning Sun.

Fortunately, ordinary civilians could not see the clues. The revenge army massacred civilians and the fall of the Grand Duke of Befest has caused morale to fall to an unprecedented low. If Seberian reveals that it was originally from the Dawn Cult, the great priest's efforts to sacrifice his ancestors to defend the capital will be wasted.

Thinking of this, Neham didn't care whether the enemy had any backup plan. He resolutely launched a judgment penalty that could only be used by the high-level Dawn Knights.

Unlike Alicina's Purification Light, the Punishment of Judgment is a magical art for living beings, dedicated to punishing the body. He wants to deal with the possessed Rams before Seberian bursts out more against the Morning Sect, so that he can temporarily expel the Death Knight leader.

A huge pillar of light fell from the sky and swallowed Rams's body. With a "boom", the blazing flames gushed out from the inside to the outside. The armor and clothes turned into ashes under the burning of the holy power, and the flesh and blood body also burned into bone frames in a flash. This scene caused the bold peeping civilians to discuss.

Since the punishment of the trial will remain awake until the end of the sentence, and watching their bodies be burned a little bit, it will also be extremely harmful to the hearts of the tortured. Many people go crazy until they are over. Because they are too cruel, the Chenxi Sect rarely executes it publicly.

"The last time the pyrotechnic was given the sacred firing law was the princess of the Regent's royal family. This time it was also quite a bit of a big background, right?"

"Didn't you see him wearing the Dawn Knight's armor?"

"Shh... That's Rams, the leader of the Dawn Knights, and the second person in the Dawn Sect."

"No, after the Grand Duke of Befest, even the Knight Commander rebelled."

Fear, questioning, anger quickly spread among the crowd, and the civilians looked at the monk Chenxi and became suspicious and fearful. At dawn, the priest had just announced his detention of Xindu. A traitor appeared at the top of the clan. Is Chenxi powerless to fight against the god of death? Has the humans reached the end of the strange road?

Seeing that Rams' body completely turned into ashes, Neham's inner anxiety did not dissipate, but instead became stronger and stronger.

Alicina, who also realized something was wrong, was planning to perform purification techniques. A dark red light lit up from Rams' ashes. In the blink of an eye, a circle was connected, which was the summoning magic array!

Neham, the nearest, strode forward, trying to destroy it before it completes its summoning.

The red light suddenly burst out, and Neham flew backwards. He smashed the fountain in the square and smashed a pillar in the corridor before stopping. He got up as fast as possible. Neham, with blood on the corner of his mouth, stared at the human-shaped skeleton that stepped out of the magic circle. It was holding a black big sword with both hands. Compared to the previous Soul-Devouring, this one seemed to be just a clumsy imitation. The blue soul flame rolled in the empty eye sockets, and everything that was looking at caused trembling.

This is the real undead, the real fear of the inspiration.

I am?!

Neham and Alicina breathed suffocated.

Seberian was able to cross the holy light barrier defended by his ancestors, which was the last method to fight against the undead...

Soon, they found the answer.

The left hand bone of the Death Knight Lord has a golden ring that should not have. The color and circle of the sun represent the morning light and is also a glory that only high-level believers have.

Seberian, the leader of the Death Knight, known as the three lords of the Immortal Empire, is actually a member of the Dawn Clan! And his position is not low!

"How is this possible..." Neham finally lost his usual calm.

Compared to Shuanghan from another world, Seberian is more mysterious. No one knows who the Death Knight was named before his transformation. The only reliable ones are his human origin, and it became famous earlier than Shuanghan.

People have always believed that if Seberian was not an imperial noble who died in the northern battlefield, or a folk warrior who volunteered to join the army to resist the dead. No one would think to the Chenxi Cult. After all, Chenxi, as the god of order, would never allow the apostate to surrender to the believers of the God of Death Hicks. If there were any signs, they would be cleaned up by the internal sect before they even fell. I think that the undead can easily gain the upper hand in several southern invasions, not only because of the cunning but also because of the help of traitors familiar with the sect.

Compared to Neham's confusion, Alicina's expression was even more unbelievable than shock, and she seemed to have guessed who Seberian was.

But... Seberian became famous earlier than Shuanghan, so it shouldn't be him, nor could it be him.

"Yurian..."

"What did you say?"

Alicina's murmur did not escape Neham's ears. He turned around suddenly, regardless of a few steps, Seberian, who could attack at any time, looked at the shocked priest.

Yurien, he is not unfamiliar with this name. The priest before Francesca, forty years ago, accompanied by the rise of the storm sea, the undead launched the largest southern invasion. Yurien stayed in the Great Hall alone, and the martyrdom hero who had won the opportunity to retreat for the sect was actually a traitor!

"Are you mistaken?"

"No..." Alicina stared at the skeleton knight who had completely stepped out of the summoning array. "How could I admit that holy mark? There is only one left-handed high-level dawn knight in a century."

Due to the invasion of the undead, the priest of the great priests in recent hundreds of years have been promoted from the Knight Priest who is better at fighting. Julian is a left-handed man, and the position given to the holy marks is different from that of ordinary believers. The Great Hall fell, and he died in battle and was martyred by the priests who became the only priest who was not enshrined in the bone burial land after the establishment of the priest. Who would have thought that he would surrender to the god of death and transform into the undead.

"Even if he is Yurien, how could he still retain the holy marks of the morning light after his fall?" Neham questioned.

The holy mark is the glory given to the believers by the morning light, the symbol of the divine favor, and the source of the holy power. The reason why Rams was discovered to have lost the divine favor was precisely because the holy mark on the back of his hand faded. Why can the former priest who has been transformed into the dead still retain the holy mark? The dawn and the god of death are mortal enemies, and it is impossible to still retain the divine favor after surrendering to another god, which has never happened in Edgar's history.

"Is it time to argue about this?" Alicina's back was soaked in cold sweat.

Seberian's rank has always been legendary and has not crossed the realm of being transcendent and saints. But if it is really Julian, it must be one of the few saints on the earth. As the spokesperson of the earth in the morning, the priest of the great priest will receive special gifts from the gods at the moment of succession and be promoted directly to being transcendent and saints. Why was Julian, who was only one step away from being able to be deified by the gods, and was willing to be a small lord under his seat?

【My joining the Immortal Empire does not hinder my belief in the morning light.】

Seberian successfully interrupted the quarrel between the two. It raised its left hand that caused chaos. The mark of the morning light was so clear that it could not be ignored and its words were like a bolt from the blue, slashing heavily in everyone's hearts.

Believe in two gods at the same time?

Seberian suddenly recited the name of the god of death. A black light fell from the sky. Neham instinctively opened his shield to defend, but the black light still penetrated the divine power of the morning light to cover his whole body. Neham felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave and could not move. Seeing Seberian lifting up the sword in his hand and walking towards him, he couldn't help but shout in his heart. Now, let alone fighting against the enemy, he couldn't even move his fingers.

The great priest and the sages of all generations were unable to get out of their origins in the Hall of Light. Although the great priest had rich experience in fighting against the dead, they could not get it even when facing the melee Death Knight. If he died in battle, no one here could resist Seberian.

Seeing the Death Knight slowly swinging his sword, some inappropriate memory suddenly popped up in Neham's mind.

The aristocratic family was rich but boring in childhood, the teenager's sect was a plentiful but sweet practice, and the youth was depressed and cautious when he was young. Francesca, Alicina, Doyle, Black, Rams, the faces of important figures in life flashed one by one, and finally frozen in the indifferent expression that always made him irritated.
