Soul echo

Chapter 43 The Burning Dawn ([-])
Seeing the flames lit, Zhong Ye turned and fled.

He didn't know if doing so would break the ceremony, but that was all he could do.

First come to the gate of the fortress to attract the monster's attention, and then let the others cooperate to throw down the can of flammable liquid and set the altar made of corpses on fire.

Maybe this would anger the monster, but judging from the monster's previous actions, its actions may have been 'bound' by the ritual. If it left there, would it mean that the ritual was broken?

"Damn—die—"

A distorted scream exploded suddenly, and the sound wave radiated to the surroundings, even some undead soldiers were knocked away by the shock wave.

Zhong Ye's heart tightened, and he suddenly flew forward, feeling a gust of wind passing by above, and a loud bang coming from the front.

Rolled up, looked up and saw that the wall in front had collapsed, and a hole let light into the fortress.

--what?
Zhong Ye didn't even have time to think about it, the undead soldiers chased after him and hurriedly dodged.

He ran to the stairs, where the torch was already lit, and he drew his oil-stained arrow across the flames, turning around and shooting.

The rocket pierced directly through the helmet of an undead soldier, detonating the soul fire in his skull.

Undead soldiers poured into the fortress, and Feisal stood in the middle of the square, trembling with rage.

why? !

Why didn't I take the opportunity to kill that Eastern native before?

"Ritual...Ritual!"

All the undead screamed at the same time, and hundreds of voices overlapped together, shaking the fortress.

Zhong Ye's eardrums were also severely impacted, his footsteps were crooked, and he fell to the ground.

He touched his ears, gritted his teeth and got up from the ground.

"Don't try to run..." all the undead said quietly.

Feisal was no longer obsessed with his identity in life, no longer stubbornly believed that his legion had not left him, and woke up from a sad dream.

The armor of the undead army peeled off, and the bones were continuously assembled under the drive of powerful spiritual energy, forming a torrent behind Zhong Ye and sweeping the corridor.

The door of a room ahead suddenly opened, and someone stretched out his hand, "Sir, here!"

However, Zhong Ye's expression changed, he didn't grab that hand, he raised his foot to kick the man into the room, and closed the door with his backhand.

——At this time, Baigu Torrent caught up!

Zhong Ye hastily pulled out the moonlight and blocked the big sword in front of him. Immediately afterwards, the torrent hit his body, pushed him through the entire corridor, and smashed through the wall.

After being hit hard on the back, the warrior gritted his teeth, feeling his body was overwhelmed, all the internal organs left their original positions, and the bones let out a horrific cry.

The body was tightly bitten by the torrent of white bones, and it was carried into the air.

Suddenly, a huge force hit the blade, and Zhong Ye was sent flying.

——Rather than 'knocking up', it's better to say 'spit'.

Such an absurd thought flashed through his mind, and Zhong Ye immediately saw the torrent of bones whirling, twisted into a long whip in an instant, and swung it down at him!

There is only one choice he can make now!
Take a deep breath, let the breath penetrate the whole body, mobilize the strength of the limbs, adjust the posture of the body in the air, and then swing the big sword.

The moonlight collided with the skeleton, and a huge force poured into his arm. Feeling this power far beyond imagination, Zhong Ye's face changed suddenly.

The body descended extremely quickly, and was about to fall to the ground, the warrior suddenly pulled the big sword and threw his body flying.

It was too close to the ground, and it was too late to adjust his posture. After Zhong Ye escaped from under the white bone whip, his body suddenly hit the ground and bounced upwards.

He tried his best to twist his waist, so that his feet could barely touch the ground, but his body was still pushed backwards with the remaining strength, plowing the ground into two long furrows.

The dizziness and pain crushed the warrior's nerves and tormented his spirit.

Zhong Ye inserted the big sword into the ground beside him, stared at the center of the square, raised his hand to reset his dislocated arm, and broke out in cold sweat like a spring.

On the square, all the undead soldiers were dismantled and turned into scattered bones floating in the air, vaguely forming the shape of a monster.

After spitting out a mouthful of blood foam with broken teeth, the rust-like taste reverberated in his mouth, Zhong Ye clenched his teeth, pulled out his big sword, and adjusted his breathing.

Barely moving his breath to moisten his dislocated left shoulder, he raised his left hand to untie the quiver tied around his waist, and threw it aside.

At this time, the white bones floating in the square moved.

The head made of countless skulls hangs down, looking at Zhong Ye.

Subconsciously, Zhong Ye held his breath and squeezed the hilt of his sword tightly, but saw the head suddenly looking towards the gatehouse.

"For the Supreme Light! For the Yanyang Holy Spear!"

Resounding Yu Xingyun's violent drinking shook the air, and a battle group broke into the battlefield suddenly.

The leader of the Knights took the lead, turned into a streamer, raised his sword and slashed at the bone monster in the square.

His adjutant raised the scepter in his hand, and the holy light suddenly bloomed, sweeping across the field, enhancing the strength of the entire battle group.

The two trumpeters sounded their horns at the same time, inspiring the courage and boldness of all.

The standard bearer is in the center of the team, holding the banner of the "Holy Sun Spear" and charging with the group. On the banner that has been ordained, it seems that there is a raging fire burning brightly.

—Where did this group of people come from?
Not only Zhong Ye, but also Feisaler was puzzled by the sudden appearance of these knights.

Within a hundred miles of Laurel City, there is no city that believes in the Sun God. Where did this Sun Church battle group come from?
At the moment when Feisal was stunned, the long sword filled with holy light instantly cut off a bone, and many out-of-control bones fell down and stuck into the ground.

No matter where they come from, they are enemies!

The bone giant twisted its 'body', and threw out more than a dozen whip-like limbs, hitting Zhong Ye and the knights respectively.

Zhong Ye immediately jumped to the side, but he heard the air behind him explode, and his scalp tingled, he rolled on the spot, and looked up to see the coiled bone whip flying high into the sky.

After taking a quick look at the knights, they found that they had spread out and attacked the bone monsters respectively. The warrior took a deep breath, raised his sword, and suddenly burst into speed, charging forward.

An Eastern native?

The sharp-eyed adjutant noticed Zhong Ye's figure, recalled the words of the middle-aged deacon, combined with the current ruined ceremony scene, waved the scepter, and shot a ray of holy light at Zhong Ye.

Before Zhong Ye could react, the holy light melted into his body.

The left arm regained its strength in an instant, and his physical strength also recovered a little. More importantly, his mind became clear and he was no longer groggy.

"Damn you all!"

The upper and lower jaws of all the skulls opened and closed at the same time, and the invisible spiritual energy exploded, invading the brains of everyone present, intending to control them.

However, Zhong Ye and the head of the Knights broke free immediately and launched a strong attack on Feisal.

The adjutant immediately came to his senses, the scepter in his hand paused, and the halo spread.

Seeing that they could not control their bodies, Feisal suddenly pulled out his limbs and hit the knights around him.

The standard bearer hurriedly waved the battle flag, and a shield suddenly rose around the knights.

The light-forged shield collided with the bone whip, and the whip shattered, but the knights were also sent flying by that force.

Woo-!
The trumpeter blew the horn again, and the second team of knights who took over the attack moved forward.

They can use not only knives and swords, but also guns and axes.

Feisaler devoted some of his attention to fighting Zhong Ye and the leader of the Knights, and at the same time, he had to pay attention to the attacks of other knights, all of which made him very annoying.

The giant white bone beast opened its huge mouth and let out a psychic scream that shocked the mind. At the cost of its own stalemate, everyone present fell into a moment of sluggishness.

But the skulls that make up the giant beast's head opened their jaws at this time, and they all chanted:
"I dedicate this blood and flesh and blood to the great abyss, begging for a door to be opened..."

"I dedicate this despair and pain to the great King of Wisdom, I hope you will show mercy..."

"I will give this soul to all the demons, please help me and open the door..."

The flesh and blood flowing on the ground flew upwards, and under the watchful eyes of Zhong Ye and the knights, they quickly formed a gate.

Using white bones as a scaffold, poured with flesh and blood, the illusory soul is solidified in the door frame, and the painful faces are spliced ​​together to form two doors.

The screaming continued, but the knight leader moved his feet and slowly raised his long sword.

The heart was beating, and the holy light flowed along the texture of the muscles. The transcendent let out a roar and broke free from the blockade of spiritual energy.

The giant white bone beast stood between him and the gate. The captain of the knight brandished his long sword. The light of the sword lifted upwards and hit Feisaler's jaw, closing the mouth.

"Angelo, expand the domain!"

Thanks to the blow from the knight leader, the knights were also able to break free.

Hearing the commander's order, the flag bearer took a deep breath and thrust the flag into the ground with all his strength.

A brilliant halo suddenly bloomed, turning the entire castle into a place of glory—except around the gate.

The bone giant fell backwards, but the door behind it——

Bang open!
