Chapter 1574 Chapter 1402: 4th Sin Unlocked 1
The bloody moon hung high in the night sky.
The spotlessly white castle on the peak of the cliff glowed to the gentle shine of the moon. If this were an ordinary night, perhaps there would be a flock of nightingales hovering above the castle and singing beautiful tones that added colors to the lifeless night sky. In the throne hall of this spotlessly white castle.
Modest braziers encompassing each of the ten onyx columns light up the entire throne hall and cover the hall in warm oranges and dancing shadows. The intricately carved woodwork hanging from the terraced ceiling dance in the flickering light while marble icons look down upon the grey wood floor of this radiant hall.
A turquoise rug splits part of the room in half from the throne to midway down the hall while rectangular banners with burnished ornaments hang from the walls. Between each banner stands a tall candle, almost all of them have been lit and in turn illuminate the mosaics of heroes and leaders below them.
Vast windows are enclosed by draperies colored the same turquoise as the banners. The curtains have been adorned with jewels and gold leaves.
A sublime throne of iron sits atop a tall elevated platform.
A man occupied this throne, the dark dragon, the ruler of the Dali Kingdom. If Alex was presence he would have been shocked because this person is Bahamut's clone.
''Hehehe! I wonder how long you will be able to endure Alex. Show me everything. Entertain me more.'' Bahamut's clone murmured while looking at the mirror on his left, on this mirror an army of undead could be seen marching toward Alex's location at fast speed.
°°°°°
Back to Alex location, he felt the enemy approaching and was ready as he had prepared for this. It was time to get serious.
A few moments later, the enemy arrived but before they could proceed they got ambushed.
''Defend it's another ambush.'' They reacted by deploying a dark shield but it was not going to be easy.
Boom! Boom!
The sharp edges made from dark magical energy crashed into Anne's shield before vanishing into thin air. Anne brandished her shield and the dazzling wind element flickered, blasting away dozens of Death Knights that had darted forward. Then, Scarlett extended her arm with a lady-like smile across her face.
"Hehehehe! Do not die easily.''
A beam of flames erupted from the tip of her finger, devouring the Undead Creatures mercilessly. Then, she gestured and the beam of flames split into two, which formed a corridor between them. At the end of the corridor, there was a filthy, miserable-looking Necromancer who was retreating. He clutched his bone staff and erupted a black mist that shrouded himself entirely.
At this moment, Alex unsheathed his red longsword covered in light. It was filled with holy power, it was the time to earn some Exp.
The Necromancer was stunned by Alex's ambush. In order to control the situation, the Necromancer ordered his troops by the rear to push forward. In fact, he didn't have any other choice. The holy spears were too powerful and his army couldn't retreat even if they wished to. He also sensed the suppressing effects of the enchanted field and naturally understood how weak his army was right now. Instead of being annihilated while retreating, he might as well use this chance to retaliate. If they could break through the northern battlefront, perhaps he could take down the legendary artifacts, which would be a huge achievement because no one had done so yet.
The Necromancer was aware that he had been had. But he had no other choices left and could only stake it all on one throw.
However, he didn't expect that Alex would counterattack at such a quick pace—the Necromancer witnessed his cannon fodder burning in flames and a string of flames blasted toward him shortly after like an ignited detonation line. In the blink of an eye, he realized that Alex was within his line of sight.
The Necromancer turned around and fled instantly, at the same time casting undead spells on Alex and his men to slow their pace. However, he didn't expect that the attacks would be completely useless. As soon as he sensed that the situation was far from good, Scarlett released a scorching beam of flames toward him. The Necromancer had no other others. He gritted his teeth and summoned the bone shield before him to resist her attack.
However, he instantly realized that he had made a wrong move as soon as he got into contact with the flames. Scarlett's flames weren't any ordinary spell as they were a force coalesced from pure fire element! This proved that she didn't require any means and could freely manipulate the fire element!
'The humans have a powerful fire elemental lord among them!'
This discovery scared the Necromancer out of his wits. If he knew this earlier, he wouldn't have launched his attacks at all. However, it was too late for regrets. All he could do was to grit his teeth and escape. He had no plans to save his 30,000 regular troops anymore.
The menacing flames dispersed the bone shield and engulfed the Necromancer. However, all he saw next was a dazzling silver radiance.
Without any resistance, Alex's holy blade penetrated his skull and sacred flames erupted. In an instant, they devoured the Necromancer and all he could do was to stretch out his arm helplessly. Then,het fell to the ground lifelessly like a ragged building block.
The difference in their strength was too huge. Alex swept a glance to the Necromancer who was burning into ashes. He swung his blade and gave a firm order to the summoned flame creatures thanks to Scarlett's help.
"Attack."
The Flame Guards' bodies instantly erupted and surged with blistering scarlet flames. Then, they pounded on the Undead Creatures before them.
The Undead Army shivered as they were soon overwhelmed by Alex's ambush squad.
Alex retreated as he observed the battlefield filled with flame and destruction. Signs like these had become recurrent and he became numb to it.
''Well, it's time to unlock another Sin. I'll be using it to screw the enemy up.'' The corner of Alex's lips rose.
〖Quickly, let's go pierce through some skulls. I miss this feeling. Bullet in the head, hehehe!〗
It seemed that it was not Alex alone who wants to go on some gun-slinging.
