Chapter 183 The Wings of the Fallen Kingdom
Chapter 183 The Wings of the Fallen Kingdom
Soon, adventurers equipped with wings appeared in Luoshen City, Prontera and several surrounding cities. Now wings are not only a symbol of wealth and status, but also an important magical equipment. Some mercenary groups even formed an alliance and only recruited mercenaries with angel wings to form angel mercenary groups. However, these mercenary groups soon disappeared completely. Xingluo knew that this was the action of the Holy See of Light, but fortunately, they did not overreact to those adventurers who used angel-looking wings. After all, they were just white feathers in appearance. There were many magical beasts with such wings, and the Holy See of Light could not kill them all.
Nowadays, even the Sky City Mercenary Group has a lot of people wearing wings, so when the angel puppet walks out, it won't attract too much attention. After all, the magic armor designed by Xingluo looks like wings are placed on the armor, and there is not much difference in appearance from the armor and wing sets sold on the market.
Xingluo now walks around the streets with the angel puppet, and no one looks at him strangely anymore. However, the occasional discussion still reaches Xingluo's ears, "Look at that fat guy, he actually equipped his servants with such powerful equipment, he must be the direct descendant of some big family."
Xingluo smiled slightly. From now on, the angel puppet could help him do many things. Compared with living creatures, Xingluo believed that dead people were better at keeping secrets. Xingluo had to concentrate on operating the angel puppet every day. If he did not use the angel puppet to fight, he could still do it with the mage-level mental power. It was still a little tiring at the beginning, especially doing this every day, but it also made his mental power more condensed, and the total amount increased, which made Xingluo both painful and happy.
After such a long delay, Xingluo finally thought of the Shadow Organization's mission, to assassinate the Earth Knight. Now with the addition of the Angel Puppet, he had more choices. However, in the end, in order to test the Angel Puppet, he chose to let the Angel Puppet complete the assassination, and he used the Super Pupil to operate remotely.
At night, as the time for action drew closer, Xingluo became more and more energetic. A shadow was seen breaking through the air and soon landed at the residence of the Earth Knight. This was a man with great strength, but his methods were too cruel. Many people wanted to kill him, and the previous assassins had failed, and their deaths were extremely miserable. Xingluo, who was used to seeing life and death, didn't want to look at those corpses again.
Strictly speaking, the angel puppet can be considered a dead body. Although it has the appearance of an angel and white feathers, it cannot cover up the death aura on its body. So Xingluo plans to let the angel puppet lie among the corpses that were tortured to death by the Earth Knights. If the angel is still alive, he must beat Xingluo to death.
A figure flashed by, the corpse moved slightly, and then fell into silence again. The Earth Knight looked at the corpse he had tortured in the yard, his eyes showing an inexplicable excitement. He remembered his childhood. At that time, he was still young, and a demon rushed into the house and killed his mother who depended on him for life in an extremely cruel way. The whole house was covered with red, and the demon carved a strange array in the blood. The terrifying and shrill soul roar was deeply imprinted in his mind. Now, every time he kills someone, he can think of his mother, and he has no scruples when he kills, and even worse.
Today, this small courtyard was filled with people who wanted to kill him, but without exception, they were all solved one by one by the Earth Knight with his extraordinary strength, and his methods were too unbearable to watch.
There are so many people who want to kill this cruel devil, so he has to face attacks from time to time, which makes him extremely sensitive to murderous intent. Moreover, due to too frequent assassinations, he has been able to always maintain his fighting spirit shield, and his fighting spirit will not decrease. Xingluo has mastered a lot of information. There is no doubt that this man is powerful, especially his strong defense and sensitive sense, which make him almost the nemesis of the killer.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be the turn of the top killer organization Shadow to take action, and they would have sent out their ace killer Tong right away.
Xingluo was not sure that he could kill the opponent with only the angel puppet. But he knew that the opponent was very talented in long-range magic defense, and even he could not kill the opponent with only long-range high-level magic.
Fortunately, this time he wanted to test the combat power of the angel puppet, so the angel puppet lurked in the backyard of the Earth Knight from the beginning, hiding among the piles of corpses. And the black shadow just now was just another corpse controlled by Xingluo. Since Xingluo got the puppet master's magic bracelet, he began to study puppetry, from controlling the living to controlling the dead, and then to controlling the metal puppets made by himself, the difficulty goes from high to low. With his mental power, it is still easy to control a dead body.
The Earth Knight stretched and prepared to deal with the corpses. He had been tracking the whereabouts of the demons. Recently, he felt that the strange things in the Fallen God City had become more frequent. He gradually had some clues, but he was still far from finding his enemy. After all, in the eyes of humans, demons all looked the same. The only thing he remembered was that the other party was holding a mace in his hand, and there was heat, the kind of heat that made people despair. He didn't know where the other party was after so many years.
The Earth Knight's eyes were red as he looked at the corpses all over the yard and began to vent wildly again. Not only was his method of killing extremely cruel, but he was also cruel in treating the corpses that had no signs of activity. The way he dealt with the corpses was exactly the same as the demon back then, except that he did not eat them raw.
Xingluo looked at the information while watching the other party with his super pupils. He knew that the other party had a rare ice-type fighting spirit, which was produced by water-type mutation. You should know that fighting spirit mutation is rarer than magic mutation, so this kind of mutated fighting spirit is extremely powerful. He cut it into pieces first, then froze it with ice-type fighting spirit, put it aside, and started to deal with another one.
The other party's hobby was indeed perverted. After the demon ate his mother, he seemed to have been imitating the demon and kept killing people. Xingluo frowned when he saw this. He didn't expect a child to grow up like this. His mother's death left an indelible wound in his heart. He had been using killing to fill the void in his heart, but the void was getting bigger and bigger, making him gradually crazy.
Xingluo didn't want to wait any longer, so he controlled the corpse and began to attack. The opponent obviously didn't expect the corpse to attack suddenly, but the fighting spirit shield blocked the corpse's attack. Then he raised his hand and chopped hard, cutting the corpse in half.
This was just an ordinary corpse, controlled remotely by Xingluo. Then the second and third ones launched attacks. The Earth Knight did not expect that the other party could actually control corpses, so he began to kill them with his sword.
Before Xingluo, he used alchemical methods to strengthen a corpse, which was the black shadow lurking at night. The reason why it was so late was because he was refining this puppet.
After the Earth Knight chopped down another corpse, the reinforced puppet finally made a move. Its sharp claws, which were flashing with a metallic luster, grabbed directly at the Earth Knight. Its speed was much faster than that of an ordinary corpse, so that the Earth Knight had no time to react. The fighting spirit shield was broken, and a bloody claw left a mark on the Earth Knight's body.
The Earth Knight did not expect that this corpse was much faster than the previous ones, and its attack power was so strong that its nails could break his shield. He was caught off guard and was injured. Although the wound was not deep, it was poisonous. The Earth Knight shook and almost fell to the ground. He hurriedly used his fighting spirit to suppress the poison in his body. The nails were transformed by Xingluo into a magic-breaking metal, which had a miraculous effect when encountering fighting spirit and magic shields.
He didn't expect that the other party could not only control corpses, but also hid a corpse inside in advance. However, as an Earth Knight, his body was much stronger than that of ordinary people, so ordinary toxins did not worry him too much. He used a little ice fighting spirit to freeze the toxins in his body and trapped them in a ball of ice mist. Compared with magicians, knights pay more attention to controlling themselves, controlling blood flow, and controlling muscle fibers. Therefore, the longer they are promoted to Earth Knights, the harder it is to kill them. Ordinary people will fall into a disadvantage if they compete with knights in consumption. Whether it is an assassin or a magician, "you must fight quickly, otherwise you will be dragged into the rhythm of the knights and be worn out to death."
The corpses and the Earth Knight engaged in a melee, and eventually the corpse puppet was defeated and destroyed by the Earth Knight. The Earth Knight breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to leave to recover from his injuries, when a white light flashed, and then a rusty dagger suddenly appeared and stabbed him in the vitals. His fighting spirit shield only symbolically resisted for a moment before being pierced. His passive defense equipment flashed wildly, but the dagger broke through layers of obstacles, and he finally escaped the fatal blow by almost breaking his waist. Even so, a deep cut was left on his neck, and blood was flowing out.
The angel puppet's attack failed, and then it raised its shield to block the knight's counterattack, which made the Earth Knight's wrist numb. The angel puppet did not miss this opportunity, and instantly rushed forward and crashed into the sword net swung by the Earth Knight. There were a series of clanging sounds, and the Earth Knight's attacks were all blocked.
The Earth Knight was unable to perform his fighting skills as he was entangled by the Angel Puppet. Every time he tried to perform his skills, the opponent would interrupt him. This made the Earth Knight extremely crazy, but Xingluo naturally did not intend to give the opponent time to breathe. He controlled the Angel Puppet and launched another attack.
This time Xingluo intended to train the angel puppet, so he did not use any magic himself. However, for safety reasons, he still shrouded the courtyard in space magic. All the movements here were instantly concealed, allowing the angel puppet to display its skills without worry.
Xingluo controlled the angel puppet again, which was much smoother than before. He didn't even need to operate it. He relied on his fighting instinct to resist the opponent's sneak attacks. The higher the level of the puppet, the more mental energy the caster consumed was saved. This was why von Hohenheim was obsessed with Xingluo's body. A good puppet is hard to come by.
