After hearing Anne's words, and some of them actually recognized Anne's true identity as the 'Queen of Neverwinter', the hundreds of priests of the Lord of the Morning only made a fuss and discussed for a short while, and then
, but still stepped forward resolutely and surrounded the Sammaster who stood motionless.
The eyes of almost all of them revealed the determination to fight to the death, as if they were determined to make things difficult for the seemingly famous Sammaster?
And the reason why they do that is actually not surprising!
Because the evil sect Dragon Worship Cult has been wreaking havoc on the continent of Faerûn, and most of the monsters it uses are horrors unheard of on the earth, such as the dragon lich and other dragon witches that were destroyed by the Queen of Neverwinter just now.
Demon or three-headed dragon, etc.
Therefore, to eliminate Sammaster, who is the leader and founder of the Dragon Worship Cult, they have to work hard to assist others, hold on to hopes and dreams, for the prosperity of all humans and their allies, and for the prosperity of all humans and their allies.
The inevitable duty of holy ministers in the work of new life and renewal!
They had actually been looking for Sammaster for a long time, but they just had no chance.
But today, after receiving all kinds of intelligence and preparing in advance, they finally caught this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the other party to go out. Therefore, they would never change their original intention due to any other factors.
Furthermore, they could not afford the terrible consequences of the 'Dragon Madness' disaster if Sammaster escaped again.
"..."
Seeing that the priests of the Lord of the Dawn did not retreat despite the difficulties, Sammaster had no further reaction. He just stood in the center of their encirclement indifferently, with a sneer on his face and said nothing.
Although, he was a little dissatisfied with the statement that the troubled little girl in the distance had just made about burning bridges, but in view of the fact that Dogothos had been destroyed by the other party, and given that the other party had fulfilled a certain agreement between the two parties,
Then of course he would not investigate further, and instead looked at the ignorant fanatics who were instigated by Dogossos and planned to encircle and suppress him.
Sammaster was once a powerful mage, and even though Azuth had indeed taken away his power and the glory and gifts of the chosen people many years ago, he is still a powerful mage now.
, the other party cannot take away his knowledge.
Although, there is indeed a slight gap between him now and his peak, but that doesn't matter, because he is still so powerful!
Immediately, the battle started with the blessings and encouraging shouts of the priests of the Lord of the Morning, and with the arrogance, disdain and sneer of the Sammaster.
Then soon, whether it was a troubled little girl watching the battle from a distance or the priests of the Lord of the Dawn, they were all surprised to discover that Sammaster was not only immune to many of their spells and divine spells,
Attack, and also have various powerful spells and the terrifying silver fire?
In the initial melee, Sammaster did not know what spells or magic props he used. His figure kept flashing and changing positions during the battle, like a black bat, flying rapidly in the air.
Move and leave afterimages one after another.
At the same time, the black wand held tightly in his hand continued to release various powerful magics. Almost every time he waved it, countless black energy flew out and instantly blasted some priests who were approaching.
Blast to death or even directly kill to pieces?
No one knows why he still has so many spells and spell slots. Anyway, the priests only saw that he was constantly releasing magic of various elements such as fire, ice, and lightning. It did not look like they were attacking at all, but instead
It was as if the other party in turn surrounded their priests in the center and slowly consumed them, and caused the believers of the Lord of the Dawn, who originally numbered hundreds, to be consumed and killed at an alarming rate.
.
What's worse is that their various spells, divine spells and various attacks have little effect on them.
Sammaster was directly immune to most of their spells, and the few that were not immune were easily dodged or blocked by using shields. Even the melee priests rushed to the opponent and attacked them.
He wielded a sharp sword, but the enchanted weapon could only barely scratch out traces on the surface of his body that were better than nothing?
And when the battle continued, and when his robe was torn with more holes, the priests were shocked to find out: they didn't know whether Sammaster wore some kind of treasure armor or used some magic skin, so that
, the outer skin of his body in the black robe is actually covered with a layer of black and fine scales reaching up to his neck and face, as if he were a dragon?
then!
Just like this, fighting and fighting, when nearly half of the priests were injured or killed, when they failed to cause any effective damage to Sammaster, when they were about to tragically fall down more of their companions and be completely annihilated, finally, those
The living priests made some momentous decision.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Anyway, a certain troubled little girl hiding in the distance only saw several young and beautiful female priests resolutely walking out of the remaining team of less than 400 priests.
They first walked resolutely to the open space at the back, and quickly traced a certain magic circle on the ground.
Then, they stood in that position of the magic circle, looked at each other, and then began to chant the name of the Lord of the Dawn, and at the same time, they continued to recite some kind of incantation and hymn of praise?
And at the same time!
As the magic circle was activated, the magical fire began to slowly ignite in the magic circle under their feet, directly burning their legs and faintly spreading to their bodies?
But they turned a blind eye to this and seemed to have completely lost their sense of pain. They just chanted loudly and allowed the magic flames to slowly ignite their bodies.
"..."
(⊙o⊙*)
Seeing this, Anne, who had been indifferent until now, couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Because, she could tell at a glance that those beautiful young ladies seemed to be preparing to sacrifice their own lives to summon some transcendent existence that they served, that is, the so-called
god?
"snort!"
"madness!"
Similarly, Sammaster also understood what the priests hiding behind wanted to do, but he had no further reaction. He just looked at the stupid summons indifferently and continued to talk to those crazy people.
The priests who rushed towards him and launched a fierce attack to cover him were entangled.
The reason why he didn't react more was because he knew what they wanted to do and firmly believed that they would never succeed.
After all, the Lord of the Morning with powerful divine power is not so easy to summon.
Therefore, he didn't think those 'idiots' could succeed, so he naturally glanced at those people who continued to attack him tirelessly. At the same time, he made a hand with his hands and began to use a more powerful weapon.
magic.
"What you did..."
"Meaningless!"
Still holding the black wand tightly in his hand, Sammaster continued to release powerful magic power. With just a simple wave of the wand, countless black energy groups suddenly flew out, and instantly hit those who rushed up.
The dozens of priests who came were blown away and they were allowed to scream and fall into the hot magma lakes below the suspended island.
"Mortals!"
While continuing to laugh and taunt with disdain, Sammaster continued to wave his wand.
"Accept your doom!"
His gestures were perfect and elegant, as if he were dancing. With every blow, he could kill several priests; with every step, he could always calmly and gracefully dodge the swords of the priests who rushed forward to attack him.
The priests who were guarding the summoning ceremony in the distance were so stunned that they were helpless at the same time.
Gradually, the number of pastors of the Lord of the Dawn has increased from several hundred at the beginning to only about three hundred.
However, until this moment, the Sammaster's performance was still calm and elegant, without any sign of reaching the limit, which made the priests despair, anxious and angry, but they had no choice but to continue to force themselves.
Keep your scalp open and continue to attack and charge.
At the beginning, when they gathered the hundreds of people and planned, they all felt that it would be more than enough to deal with the lone Sammaster when he was out with no magic tower, followers or servants.
of?
But now, the cruel facts force them to believe that a few hundred people really don't seem to be enough, far from enough!
"Ants!"
"Eventually the dragon will rule the world!"
"but me……"
"Will enslave the dragon!"
"You can't stop me!!"
At this time, Sammaster, who slowly flew into the air and ate the spells and magical spells bombarded by dozens of priests, but remained unscathed, laughed arrogantly and proudly, as if he was about to start releasing.
A new major spell.
The next moment!
Before the priests could think of a way to stop them, Sammaster's gestures suddenly stopped, and a series of arcane runes flashed from his hands. Then, huge arcane missiles flew resolutely towards those who were again.
In the formation of priests who were tirelessly surrounding him.
"not good!"
"!!"
"careful!"
"quick!"
"Protective spell!!"
This time, the priests had plenty of time, so they did not intend to resist recklessly or wait indifferently for death to come.
Under the command of a certain priest leader, they used their remaining spell slots to cast various defensive spells and divine spells, trying to withstand those terrifying arcane missiles that looked quite powerful.
However……
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Facts have proved that Sammaster's magic is still too powerful.
With roars one after another, those huge arcane missiles easily penetrated and shattered their defensive shields and magical spells, and instantly suspected them, directly killing twenty or thirty priests on the spot, including that one
The leaders inside were all blown away, and the scattered limbs and broken arms, together with the people screaming and falling to the bottom of the magma lake, formed a horrific scene!
At the same time, at least dozens of priests were affected by the explosion. Although they were not blown to pieces or fell into the magma pool and burned to ashes, it was definitely inevitable to suffer moderate to severe injuries.
What's even worse is that the shock waves of those explosions instantly blew their originally neat and orderly formation to pieces, causing the originally difficult but orderly offensive and defensive rhythm to suddenly become chaotic.
stand up.
Otherwise!
However, they still had no intention of giving up, and quickly reorganized their formation under the command of the new leader who stood up, and once again attacked the Sasha who slowly descended to the suspended island as they did at the beginning.
Master launched a new round of fierce attacks.
"whispering sound!"
"Do you still want to continue?"
Seeing that those people had no intention of escaping even though most of them had suffered casualties, Sammaster was a little surprised. At the same time, he couldn't help but sneered again and looked at those stupid Dawn Priests with a sneer.
Although he still didn't know what the connection or conspiracy was between those people and Dogossos, he only knew that if they thought he had just fought a battle with Dogossos, they would be killed due to lack of spell slots and magic power.
If they fail, they will definitely be disappointed.
"Sammaster!"
At this time, the young female priest who acted as the new leader and commander came out. After preparing a certain magical operation, she angrily scolded Sammaster:
"Your cruelty and evil are indeed as legendary!"
"But as long as we have breath..."
"We will keep fighting!"
"The great Lord of the Morning has heard our prayers and is watching over us!"
"today!"
"It will definitely be your end!!"
And her words and the inspiring magic she released immediately succeeded in cheering up the other priests who had been severely demoralized and hesitant due to the heavy casualties.
then!
Those priests, even those who were injured and unable to move, struggled out one after another, joined the battle formation, and once again fired all kinds of spells and divine spells at Sammaster to the best of their ability.
Technological attack.
Even if it is, those attacks don't seem to have any effect on Sammaster?
"..."
Sammaster said nothing more.
"The end of the world?"
"Maybe I will have the end, but it will never be today!"
Looking at the group of difficult priests who once again formed a formation and bombarded them with various spells, Sammaster sneered in a low voice with disdain.
His phylactery is not here, so he is very sure that even if he loses today, it will not be the end of him!
Therefore, his eyes were still cold and cruel, and the spells released in his hands had no intention of becoming less or weaker at all. He was still trying to get rid of the entanglements of the priests while ruthlessly using various vicious spells to show no mercy.
The ground harvests the fresh and firm-faith lives.
"!!"
"attack!"
"For the glory of Lansendre!"
"Everyone!"
"The dawn will break through the darkness!"
"The light of morning is coming, and all things will awaken in the grace of the Lord!"
"Kill!!"
"The dawn is just around the corner!!"
However, those priests were not frightened by Sammaster's increasingly cruel and efficient slaughter.
On the contrary, although there are only about a hundred and less than two hundred people alive or standing at this time, they still solemnly and solemnly shout the name and slogan of the Lord of the Dawn, and continue to move forward bravely to the best of their ability.
He launched the most violent attack, trying to continue to suppress the Sammaster.
Even though their attacks were still not of much use to Sammaster, they still did it extremely determinedly.
"!!"
And at this moment, when he was about to continue casting spells to eliminate the dozens of priests who rushed towards him again and then kill all the people who were still alive to completely end this farce, Sammaster suddenly
He stopped and turned his head in shock to look in a certain direction not far away. At the same time, for the first time, there was a trace of fear in his sinister eyes?
"?!"
"quick!!"
Likewise, the priests were startled and realized what was happening, that is: their previous summons seemed to be taking effect.
"Praise my Lord!"
"Dawn has finally arrived!"
"attack!"
"Stop him at all costs!"
“Go for it!!!”
So, while their morale was boosted, those remaining soldiers resolutely began to attack more violently, and continued to shout slogans loudly, trying to hold back the Sammaster, as if they were determined and ready to risk everything.
Must we persist until the crucial last moment?
"Ants!"
For the first time, there was a hint of frustration and alienated anger in Sammaster's voice!
"You are asking for your own death!"
"So……"
"I will make it happen for you!"
Then, he had to speed up the attack, but saw that a few spells only killed twenty or thirty people, and more people rushed over to attack, entangle and drive him away, obviously trying to die.
After preventing him from getting close to the summoning priests and magic circles, he finally became anxious, and while dealing with the ants, he flew back high and tried to gather strength, preparing to launch the final blow.
"!!"
"not good!"
Seeing Sammaster's actions and the rapidly gathering terrifying energy, the priests of the Lord of the Dawn involuntarily stopped charging and attacking, and once again felt the despair and the huge gap between them.
Because they knew that the next blow from Sammaster would be very powerful. Just from the terrifying fluctuations in magic power, they knew that they would not be able to withstand it.
"!!"
"Believers of the Dawn!"
"quick!"
"Shield Wall!!"
"We have no choice!!"
However, under the shouts of the leading commander, they resolutely gave up the attack and returned to defense. They stood in front of the flickering magic circle with only a few human-shaped torches left at this time, and tried their best to use up the magic array.
The last strength of dozens of people erected a huge shield that looked like a wall in front of the magic circle.
"A mere ant!"
"You want to block my magic too?!"
It's a pity that Sammaster didn't mind much after seeing what those priests were doing.
He just smiled ferociously and after chanting quickly, he reached out resolutely and compressed his silver flame into a long blue-white beam five feet wide and dozens of feet long, making it resemble a bolt of lightning and shoot towards it brazenly.
Blast away at the magic circle burning with holy flames.
He knows that as long as he destroys the ritual that he doesn't think much about and destroys the magic circle, all the farce that happened here today will be over.
boom!!!
With an explosion and flashes of bright light, the shield wall was instantly broken, and the moment the summoning circle was hit, the light and energy instantly swallowed up the last remaining protection in the summoning circle.
There are more than a hundred priests of the Lord of the Morning around.
"No……"
"this!"
"Lord of the Dawn, have you abandoned us?"
"how come?"
"..."
Seeing this, before the bright light dissipated, he was seriously injured due to the previous attack and scattered all over the suspended island. At this time, he was completely unable to stand up and could not participate in the attack. He could only lie down or sit on the ground.
The priests of the Lord of the Dawn could not help but lament in despair and despair, and slowly closed their eyes sadly, preparing to accept the fact of failure.
"!!"
"Wha, what?!"
"Oh God……"
"Is that you?"
"ah!"
"Praise the morning light!!"
But soon, they opened their eyes again.
because……
As the light faded, they saw:
After the chaotic energy light dissipated, a young man with golden skin, always with a smile on his face and graceful demeanor, was wearing an exquisite and luxurious robe, and a golden flower crown on his head. He was also wearing clothes of the same color as the flower crown.
A man wearing golden armor and exuding powerful and familiar sacred power appeared in the middle of the summoning circle just now.
At this time, he was surrounded by the remaining priests who were kneeling and prostrate around him in prayer.
And it is not difficult to know from the hand he stretched out, it seems that he arrived in time and just blocked the full blow of Sammaster just now.
What's even more surprising is that the terrifying attack that could directly penetrate the shields released by dozens of priests, Sammaster's strongest blow, did not seem to cause any substantial damage to that being.
s damage?
"Sammaster..."
"You disgust me!"
The man first looked at the charred humanoid ashes in the teleportation array, then looked at the hundreds of tragic corpses and debris around him, and finally sighed and said this.
Then, before Sammaster and the others could react, he waved his hand casually.
"!!"
"No!!!!"
Almost instantly!
His light movements actually caused the frightened Sammaster, who was thinking of casting a spell to escape, to have his whole body ignited with the same kind of magical holy flame that the young female priests had used to burn themselves.
And soon it was burned to ashes at an extremely fast speed amid Sammaster's screams and desperate exclamations.
"..."
After doing all that, the man was not in a hurry to leave. He didn't care about the priests who were kneeling around and worshiping and singing. He just slowly turned his head and looked at a certain person who was watching the fun and didn't mind it.
Still staying there, looking curiously at a certain troubled little girl here.
because……
He couldn't have arrived so quickly just now, but that little girl, she seemed to have done something?
"??"
()
"What are you doing?!"
()
Seeing this, Annie, who had just watched a wonderful show and was chewing some snacks, said something after seeing the guy wearing a sexy bag actually destroying the Sammaster.
Looking at him silently, he asked with an innocent face.
