Banner of the Evil God

The guy wearing heavy armor was not very fast, but his momentum was extremely fierce, and every step was accompanied by a violent impact. The sound echoed in the small cave, getting louder and louder, and gradually became like thunder.

"Now I know why all the previous adventurers were wiped out." Divol swallowed, clenched the battle ax with both hands, took a deep breath, and assumed a fighting posture.

Raphael at the front had disappeared at some point. Apparently he had used his proud stealth skills and hid in the shadows that were everywhere in this underground cave. When the time is right, he will naturally jump out and deliver a fatal blow to the enemy from behind.

"I'm on alert!" Rhett said loudly, cocking the arrow, and looked around vigilantly to guard against any possible sneak attack.

Facing a well-equipped team of adventurers, it is almost impossible to defeat or even kill them all through head-on combat. For them, the most dangerous thing is the enemy's possible sneak attack.

Just like the previous group of adventurers, what really defeated them was not the charge of the heavily armored monster, but the joint sneak attack of the fire element, the earth-walking monster and the spell caster. If they hadn't been beaten so hurriedly, according to their normal configuration, the outcome would still be unknown!

So despite the fact that Divol and Morton are going to fight against the seemingly vicious and powerful monster, which seems very dangerous and important, in fact, the one with the heaviest task in the team is not them, but Red.

He must be on alert to guard against enemy sneak attacks; he must protect the boss Palin who hired them to prevent the frail young mage from being injured; he must also be ready to use scrolls to lead everyone to escape at any time. It is really a heavy responsibility!

But they all overlooked one thing.

Although Palin, who was protected by them, was not old, he was definitely not weak!

Seeing the guy in heavy armor rushing over, Palin calmly dug into the space bag with his left hand and took out the spell casting materials. He quickly drew a circle in the air with the wand in his right hand, and replaced it with the power of the wand. During the spell-casting ceremony, a spell was recited from his mouth.

A dark yellow light flew out from his hand and hit the ground in front of the enemy. It spread instantly and turned into a layer of oil that was clearly visible in the dim light.

"Grease Technique!"

This spell can create an area covered with oil. If the enemy is not strong enough and does not have suitable spell assistance, he will be helpless in this area. It can range from stumbling and stumbling all the way, to severe, it can fall directly and continue to fall after getting up.

The guy in heavy armor was obviously not agile. As soon as he stepped on the oil layer, he heard a roar and fell heavily to the ground, falling backwards.

"Well done!" Divol exclaimed happily.

Grease is not an advanced spell, and even novice mages can learn it. But how to use it timely and accurately in battle is not something novice mages can do.

Because he had been under their protection before, Palin never had the chance to show his strength. In addition, he was still very young, which made the adventurers mistakenly think that he was of low strength and was just a rich rookie.

But his performance just now proves that he is definitely not as rookie as he looks. This dwarf boy who looks like he is not yet an adult is a very capable spell caster.

This is really good news!

The morale of the adventurers was greatly boosted, and at this moment, Morton also completed his spell.

He shouted the name of the Lord of Radiance and raised his war hammer. The Holy Emblem on the war hammer emitted a dazzling light, and a huge Holy Emblem instantly appeared in the air, covering a large area around it.

The light of the Holy Emblem came and went quickly, but everyone could clearly feel a force pouring into their bodies, making them stronger and more determined, full of confidence in victory.

This is the power of war magic. The key reason why the Lord of Glory can become the main god of the human pantheon lies in his crucial priesthood and the exclusive spells that accompany the priesthood.

The scope of this magical spell is extremely wide, covering not only the companions, but also the enemies hiding around.

But for the enemy, the effect of this magic is not to encourage and strengthen, but to weaken and suppress.

A muffled groan came from the shadow in the distance, and Rhett's sharp eyes like a hawk immediately looked over there, noticing a figure shaking slightly inside.

The next moment, cold light flashed, and Raphael, who had already sneaked behind the enemy, swung his dagger, and it was a vicious backstab!

His sword really captured the essence of the word "steady, accurate and ruthless". He went down with the sword until it reached the handle, and even stirred it up. If it were a flesh and blood body, this knife would definitely be a fatal injury, and even rescue might not be possible in time.

But as soon as the knife was thrust out, Raphael's expression changed drastically. Without thinking, he released his right hand holding the dagger. Letting his beloved weapon be lost, he quickly stepped back, like a frightened rabbit. Just jump far away from that person.

At the same time, he shouted out loud: "Lich!"

His voice was very loud, and he was shouting as loud as he could at this moment. His voice echoed in the cave, making everyone's ears buzz.

But everyone had no time to complain, and their expressions all changed.

Lich? That kind of terrifying monster that the caster becomes corrupted in order to escape death and transformed into?

Rhett reacted the fastest. Without thinking, he shot an arrow at the black figure. He didn't even bother to look at the effect of this arrow. He took out an arrow with a milky white light at the top from the quiver with his backhand, opened the bow again, and fired another arrow.

His archery skills were very accurate, and both arrows hit the target. Not only did it interrupt the spell that the figure was about to cast, the second arrow containing powerful divine power hit the head accurately.

The head is the key point of most lichs!

Not only that, Rhett continued to draw his bow and arrows, and shot out the precious sacred arrows without hesitation.

This kind of arrow, which costs one gold coin each, is very powerful. The silver arrowheads can cause extra damage to many dark creatures, and all the arrowheads have been enshrined in the temple of the Lord of Radiance for at least a month. They were led by the priest. Special prayers were conducted with the priests, giving it extra power to defeat evil.

Although the more fragile arrowheads are difficult to preserve in battle, each arrow can only be used once and is expensive. But when fighting evil monsters, especially death-type monsters, it is undoubtedly the most reliable weapon for archers!

Of course, the Lich is also a death-type monster. The sacred arrows can not only cause huge damage to it, but also make it unable to concentrate and cannot cast a single spell.

Because Rhett contained it, everyone's battle became much smoother.

With the blessing of Morton's magic, Divor exploded with divine power, and chopped the heavily armored guy in half with an axe. There was a zombie inside the armor, and after being split in half, it immediately emitted a terrifying energy. The stench is as disgusting as the smelly cloud technique. Palin used a spell to blow the breeze to get rid of the terrible stench and save everyone's noses.

Morton, on the other hand, took the time to add a spell, causing the zombie to completely lose its vitality and quickly turn into ashes, no longer posing a threat to everyone.

After dealing with the zombie, they set about besieging the lich.

The unlucky lich obviously consumed a lot of mana in the previous battle with the group of adventurers, and even the protective spells on his body were not able to be replenished in time. Under the helpless Rhett, he was in a state of embarrassment. He howled angrily again and again, but couldn't think of anything.

Of course it tried to escape, but Raphael, who had just jumped into the shadows, came out from behind it again, this time holding a short hand ax in his hand, and struck it hard on the neck with the axe. superior.

The Lich's body was just a skeleton protected by magic. Although it was much stronger than an ordinary skeleton, it was still severely damaged by the axe. The head was not cut off directly, but looking at the way it swayed, it was obviously blinded.

Of course, Raphael would not miss the opportunity. He swung the short ax with one axe, two axes... just like chopping down a tree.

After he was slapped away by the Lich, Divol also rushed over. His tauren battle ax was not comparable to Raffl's small camping ax. He swung the ax with both hands and roared, It was chopped off hard on the head.

The Lich, who had been beaten unconscious by Red and Raphael, had no time to react before he was cut in half with his axe. From the left shoulder to the right waist, countless bones were broken together, and the body was split into two. The lower body was slumped and scattered, but the upper body still retained some vitality, and it still struggled when it fell to the ground.

At this time, Palin's spell arrived again. He cast the Freezing Technique, and a blue-white light shone on the remaining half of the Lich's body, immediately turning it into ice and solidifying it within it.

"Morton!" Palin shouted, "Seal it!"

Morton, who was originally preparing a sacred prayer, nodded and changed his previous plan. Through a long prayer, he exerted his sacred power to turn a silver chain into sparkling light, and then used this chain to turn the The block of ice was tightly bound together with the lich inside.

Now, it can hardly fly even if it has wings!

"Okay, after we get back, we will send it to the temple for purification." Morton breathed a sigh of relief, and because of his happiness, he rarely said a few more words, "Even if it has a phylactery by then, Don’t even think about escaping!”

Monsters like lichs are very troublesome. If they are simply killed, they can be resurrected after a while with the help of the phylactery they prepared in advance. To truly kill it, you often need to use sacred power, such as a sacred weapon that can destroy evil - not a common commodity such as sacred arrows, but those world-famous and truly divine weapons.

Divine weapons are of course very rare, so in most cases, adventurers choose to seal them and send them to the temple for purification.

As for the mages, they tend to use spells to find the lich's phylactery, and then use the phylactery to control the lich.

Well? Kill? What a waste...

Everyone looked at each other and smiled while Rafael groaned, "Someone please help me! I seem to have slipped!"

They won!

Soon after, they found five corpses not far away, four belonging to the dead adventurers, one belonging to the earthly monster they killed, and a ball of ashes in a bottle, which was the remains of the fire element. .

Only then did they truly relax and put an end to this short but fierce battle in their hearts.
