Chapter 242: The Tribulation
The "Heaven Tribulation" is rapidly brewing and forming. Maybe it will suddenly come at any time. Since it is called "Chasicles", it will not be so easy to pass. Lucky people are always only a few, which is also the rare reason why the Destruction Knights in the "Dead Space". The stronger the strength, the greater the power of the "Heaven Tribulation" and the smaller the chance of successfully passing the Tribulation. Even if it is the "small Heavenly Tribulation" that completes the evolution of the first time, if I remember correctly, the success rate of the tribulation will not be greater than half. In a sense, the Dead Knight is also a "heavenly defiant" who breaks the inherent rules of the "Dead Space" and has to suffer "heavenly punishment".
The thunder bombing has become more and more dull, probably because it is closer to Wuma. The consecutive few times seemed to hit my heart, and my mind was shocked, and my thoughts were interrupted for a moment. Even the mental power representing life was lost. I, the bystander, was already like this. Wuma, the "victim" at the center of the attack, is probably under greater pressure. This should be just a prelude. The purple lightning is still dancing wildly in the vortex of the black clouds and has not been chopped down. The "Heaven Tribulation" has not officially begun. I cannot estimate how powerful it will be at that time.
If I had to face the "Heavenly Tribulation", I would never choose to escape. If it were the "Heavenly Tribulation" that Taotao faced when he transformed into a dragon, I would not retreat. But now facing the "Heavenly Tribulation" is Wuma. Wuma, who is very likely to evolve into a Knight of Destruction, could not help but hesitate. I must weigh the pros and cons in advance and consider it clearly, should I stand by and leave everything to fate, see Wuma's own fortune, or should I extend a helping hand in the critical situation, help Wuma resist the "Heavenly Tribulation" together and bear the risk of passing the disaster together? It is important, and I cannot make a blind decision.
Regarding the Knight of Destruction, there is no mention of too much in the "Collection of Undead Creatures". Without exception, they are butchers covered in blood with their hands, destroying countless creatures. They cannot be produced out of thin air, but can only be alienated from the Dark Knight or the Horror Knight - even the Undead, no one is a natural murderer. The reason for this alienation is that they are overstimulated, resulting in a huge change in their minds and nature, and in their behavior, they are completely contrary to the rules and laws that the Knights should follow.
Generally speaking, the Doom Knight should have a dark and shameful and even miserable past. Take Wuma for example. In the battle, he unfortunately lost his mount and lost the honor and dignity of a Dead Knight. Everyone was killed and despised by his kind. Although he was lucky enough to meet me and survived in the world, it was only a little useful in the initial short period of time. As I had more and more subordinates, it became less and less in the position. Even if it became more and more serious later.
After obtaining a new mount, he barely regained his identity as a Dark Knight, but it did not bring any benefits. As the only acquired knight in the Dark Knight Legion, his physiological defects and lack of strength made him still despised and rejected by other Dark Knights, bullied everywhere, and seemed inferior. In the end, he ended up with a fate that was freed by me and became a "distant person" who was not cared for and paid attention to. The world was vast and it seemed that it had no value for its existence.
Perhaps it was because of these "non-human" treatment that the unmad nature was distorted and became cynical, and chose to kill and devour to enhance his strength. I had also noticed this transformation before, but unfortunately I didn't care enough about it and did not associate it with the growth process of the "public enemy of the undead" Knight of Destruction. Now such a change has suddenly appeared. For me, I really don't know whether it is a blessing or a disaster.
It is true that the Knight of Destruction has strong strength and unlimited growth. Having it should be a powerful helper, but it is also a time bomb buried beside him, which means great trouble. The name of "public enemy of the undead" is not for nothing. According to the relevant records of "The Complete Collection of Undead creatures", it is definitely a mouse crossing the street, everyone shouts and beats it. As its owner, if I want to protect it, it means that I will almost be an enemy of the entire undead world. It is really hard to imagine whether it will help me or save it now. There is too little information for reference, which makes me unable to estimate the dangers I will face in the future.
Without letting me think too much, the "Heavenly Tribulation" finally began to start. In an instant, lightning and thunder roared, the sky shook and the earth moved, as if to destroy everything. Just look at the momentum, it is definitely above the "Heavenly Punishment" I have faced - after all, it was activated by the "law enforcer" Santos with his own strength. Human power is limited, the world is endless, and the power is naturally not at the same level.
The Red Stars and the others were all driven away by me. They were useless in the face of the "Heaven Tribulation". I was still hesitating and couldn't make up my mind what to do. I just subconsciously stayed in place and did not escape far away. The power of the "Heaven Tribulation" naturally affected me, but I had already used the "Three Shields Protective Body", and the center of the attack was not me, so I did not suffer much damage for the time being. I was just shocked by the thunder and felt a little dizzy.
Since the horse hatched, it has been standing quietly, motionless. Facing the coming "Heaven Tribulation", it is silently enduring, but it has changed its posture, holding its head up to the sky, shielding its shield across its chest, holding its right hand high, pointing directly to the sky, as if showing its fearlessness, or as if responding to the challenge of heaven. If it cannot destroy others, then the one who is destroyed should be itself. Perhaps this is the origin of the name of the Knight of Destruction. Compared with my previous actions, perhaps, the Knight of Destruction is the true "Godward" who despises or even ignores all rules.
The thunder sounded and the lightning became denser. The originally calm Wuma's body began to shake gradually, showing that the blow it was under was getting heavier and heavier. Although I don't know much about the "Heavenly Tribulation", the vortex still rotated rapidly, and the black clouds shrouded in thick and dense, which should have lasted for a long time. Now Wuma can't stand it anymore and the prospects are not optimistic.
As the situation develops, it seems to be increasingly unfavorable to Wuma, and my heart is constantly swaying between whether to rescue, because it is impossible to confirm what it means to me. If Wuma can successfully overcome the disaster, it is God's help. I naturally have nothing to say, but if I involve myself in the "Heavenly Tribulation", I have to bear great risks first. The so-called unpredictable power of heaven, no one knows what consequences will be caused. The pros and cons of this cannot help but I can't help weighing the pros and cons. After all, the Destruction Knight is just a noun to me now. I don't know how capable it is and what future is limitless? Then it must have the ability to evolve to a higher form. As a "public enemy of the undead", there are many tests of "Heavenly Tribulation". Is this possible? I don't have much confidence.
The power of the "Heaven Tribulation" has been fully utilized. Wuma's body shook more and more violently. He almost fell to the ground several times. Even I was forced to retreat repeatedly, so I would not be lying down by the thunder. I don't care much about lightning. They all seemed to have a sight, and they all struck Wuma. The little bit of the remaining power that occasionally affected was also offset by the "lightning cloak" on my body - this was when I slayed the dragon.
The distribution was used to travel through the "Thunder Frog Swamp", which was left behind and became a souvenir, but now it was used. Otherwise, I would have to stay away from it. The lightning beam was getting thicker and thicker, and it would probably not be so easy to get rid of it after a slash. It was really hard for Wuma to endure it forever. Now, if it were replaced by the terrifying giant bear knight, it would have been chopped to coke long ago. It seems that at least in terms of magic defense, the ability of the Destruction Knight is far superior to that of ordinary terrifying knights.
It’s a pity that he has the heart but lacks strength. Wuma seems to have reached the end of his strength. Perhaps because he evolved from the acquired Dark Knight and had poor innate qualifications, he seemed unable to support his personal strength. Although he still stood up straight due to the bombardment of thunder in the blue sky, even the people and horses were shaking, and it was obvious that he could not stand it.
"Boom", another rolling thunder, Wuma was finally knocked to the ground, but its body did not leave its mount, slapped the skeleton horse, and struggled to get up again. Even though it knew it was going to fail, it was still unwilling to give up, and its life continued to fight. Witnessing Wuma's lonely and helpless figure, I finally couldn't help it. It was a blessing, not a disaster, but a disaster, and since Wuma evolved into a Knight of Destruction, it means that this is the will of heaven. As its master, I must face all this. If it wants it to truly grow into a powerful existence that can destroy the world, and without giving first, how can it ask for it?
He quickly raised his left hand and activated the "Touch of Death" to wrap Wuma's body. It was not an attack, but assisted in defense, wrapping it up layer by layer. Relying on the protection ability of the artifact, the attack of the "Heaven Tribulation" ended in vain, and Wuma stood up tenaciously again.
The crisis of Wuma has been slowed down for the time being, but my situation is not very good. The rash intervention violated the restriction of the "Heavenly Tribulation". In an instant, thunder sounded loudly and several consecutive lightnings slashed down. Their reaction was so fast and powerful that it was beyond my expectations. It felt that the momentum was even better than that of Wuma. Not only did the three sides of the body protect the body shatter, and my mind was dizzy, and even the humans fell to the ground with their heads turned black, and they almost didn't wake up. Fortunately, the "lightning cloak" offset some of the lightning attacks, which only paralyzed my body and my limbs were spasmed, so that I would not immediately turn into coke. This is too bullying. Although my magic resistance may not be as good as Wuma, I can't vent all my anger as a helper. It's even more cruel than dealing with the main person.
Maybe I spent all my energy on me, and then the attack on Wuma seemed a little weak, but it offset my "Touch of Death" protection. It did not hurt Wuma, and even my body did not shake. With this time, I recovered and quickly activated the "Touch of Death" to protect Wuma layer by layer. Its broken body could no longer be taken a few times. Although I was a little embarrassed, dizzy and numb, the substantial damage was not serious and I could still hold on for the time being.
Perhaps I felt that my strength was relatively strong at the moment. The "Heaven Tribulation" slowed down the attack on Wuma and shifted the center of gravity to me. The vortex clouds rolled, thunder rolled, and thunder rushed straight towards me. I don’t know if it happened to catch up with the moment when the "Heaven Tribulation" was the most powerful. I felt that the attack was more and more fierce and the damage was getting heavier. Even the "Lightning Cloak" was hit by several consecutive buckets of lightning, exceeding the maximum damage value that could be withstood. It immediately crushed to pieces and turned into wisps of flying ashes. I was bombarded like this a few times, I’m afraid I would have to replace Wuma’s ashes first.
"Death Touch" cannot be withdrawn. Since I have inserted my hand, I cannot give up easily. Wuma is even less beaten than me. Without the protection of "Death Touch" it is definitely a dead end. But I can't be beaten like this. I am just a physical body and can't hold on for too long. The so-called attack is the best defense. I can only try to use attack instead of defense, and launch my strongest attack skills to see if I can use external forces to disperse the vortex cloud group that forms the "Heaven Tribulation".
I don't plan to use "Nether Ghost Fire". Generally speaking, it is indeed my strongest skill. However, in the "uncle space", especially within the zombies' sphere of influence, the "spiritual attack" launched by the three corpse emperors can be called my "serious skill". The thoughts are everywhere, and the other three corpse emperors respond immediately, and in a short time the spirits are connected together. Taking advantage of the gap between the "Heaven Tribulation" and "sting" hard towards the vortex in the air.
"Boom", I felt a dizzy turn, my eyes were pitch black, and I lost all my consciousness. When I woke up, I was already lying on the ground. Although my posture was indecent, I would be fine as long as I was still alive. I hurriedly checked my state, and there was still one-third of my mental power, and there was no danger of life for the time being. Because I had temporarily lost consciousness, the "Touch of Death" was automatically taken back, but Wuma still stood there and was not defeated by the "Heaven Tribulation".
The effect of using "spiritual attack" to fight "Heaven Tribulation" seems surprisingly good. Although I paid a heavy price, "Heaven Tribulation" did not take advantage of it. The black clouds were a little thinner, and the speed of the vortex was slowed down a little. The momentum of the Thunder Thunder was not as strong as before, and the power seemed to be gradually weakening. I originally wanted to be more stable and continue to consume it, but the time for resurrection was about to come. I was afraid that Wuma would suffer any losses alone, which would lead to all my previous efforts. I gritted my teeth and hit another "spiritual attack" and the same scene was staged again, but this time the dizziness was shorter, and the mental power was only less than 10%, which could be said to be extremely dangerous. Of course, the harvest was not small. The black clouds were dissipating rapidly, the vortex was shrinking sharply, and the mad thunder and lightning were no longer proud, and I could only make one or two weak moans occasionally.
