Chapter 9 8. The battle lord Lazar
Hades holds the sickle in both hands and resists the attack of the opposite lord with all his strength. The two sides are in a bitter stalemate.
Herrera's figure gradually disappeared from sight, and Hades secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but facing the psychic lord Lazar, he could not take it lightly in any case.
The strength gap between the two sides was too great. One mistake meant that Hades would pay the price with his life.
As if aware of Hades's little plan to ask Herrera to shake people, Lord Lazar's twisted and ugly face showed a twisted expression that was close to ridicule.
"Frail scum, you can't hold on until the monster comes. Your weak body will be torn into pieces by me!!!"
Hades gritted his teeth and trembled from the exertion, but he still squeezed out a few word.
"Lazar, but you have lost, haven't you?"
Lord Lazar was furious in an instant. His blood-stained body proved that he was the weaker side in the battle with Mortarion.
A sharp claw suddenly stretched out from the body of the leader who was as big as a car, and struck him with the force of thunder and lightning with a bloody stench!
grass! You shouldn't provoke him! I'm arrogant again!
Hades immediately hooked his sickle to reduce the force, rotated the sickle pole to use up the huge force, and instantly jumped back to the right. His claws, like iron hooks that glowed with green and black poison, barely scratched away from him.
so close!
That guy's claws are definitely poisonous, and he might get cold if he gets scratched!
Damn it, there is a full-level enchanted melee mage on the opposite side. How can he, who has just left the novice village, fight against the opponent?
Adrenaline is roaring, and Hades's mind is racing with countermeasures. He carefully observes the terrain and the opponent, and analyzes the current situation. battle situation.
They were now on a mountain path, with a bottomless cliff on one side and a towering mountain wall on the other. Some rocks were piled on the mountain road, and a few dead trees protruded from the mountain wall.
Except that he seemed to be able to escape by jumping off the cliff in the end, the terrain seemed to have no advantage for him. He even had to guard against the lord throwing him off the cliff.
He stared intently at Lord Lazar across from him. Lord Lazar was a beast that looked quite like a hybrid of a human and a tiger. His ugly, fat face was covered with saliva-covered beards. It was as big as a car. His body was covered with strange pits, from which the claw that suddenly exploded just now protruded.
In addition, on the back where the depressions are densest, there is a strange fist-sized stone deeply embedded, which is emitting a dim green fluorescence.
According to the previous investigation of Lazar by the Death Guard resistance, this was some kind of psychic amplifier obtained by this brutal lord through human sacrifice.
Lazar was originally just a small lord in the fringe area. After obtaining this stone, he relied on his powerful psychic witchcraft to win many wars among the lords, and gradually gained control of the Morar region.
But what currently puzzles Hades is that Lazar did not use psychic witchcraft at all in the two attacks just now, and only relied on his own body to launch the attack.
Weird behavior, this is not consistent with Hades's previous investigation of Lord Lazar.
Hades quickly came up with two speculations in his mind. The first possibility was that Lazar deliberately attacked with physical magic to induce Hades to relax his guard against psychic and witchcraft attacks.
The second possibility is that Lord Lazar was seriously injured in the previous battle with Mortarion and is currently unable to use psychic powers.
But Hades knew that Lazar was now defeated by Mortarion, and he would not have the intention to leave a psychic backstop for a soldier like Hades who was not worth mentioning in his eyes as he ran away in a hurry.
So it is very possible that Lord Lazar was injured in the previous battle with Mortarion and was unable to activate his psychic powers.
Hope it was the second possibility. Hades secretly prayed that it would still be possible for him to fight a melee mage with residual health and depleted blue bars.
At least, the chances of escaping are higher.
The brain is running wildly, and Hades's movements have not stopped. He is currently adopting an active defensive tactic, comically jumping up and down on the narrow mountain platform, avoiding the attacks from the opposite side.
He waved his scythe, and the huge scythe broke through most of Lazar's attacks. His claws collided with the stainless steel scythe rapidly, making a "crack" sound and sparks flying.
And when Hades couldn't avoid it, he took the attack with his thickly protected elbows, arms and calves. The bright red blood mixed with black and green venom splashed at the same time, dyeing it with the blood of Lord Lazar. Gray mountain road.
Compared to Hades, who was determined to defend solidly to delay time, Lord Lazar became more and more crazy.
Time is running out! We can't let that little soldier hold us back until that monster, Mortarion, arrives! He needs to run away quickly!
If his previous psychic transmission hadn't been suddenly interrupted midway! He didn't react, otherwise he wouldn't have let the other soldier escape!
Lord Lazar was also very panicked. The witchcraft he had always been proud of was destroyed by the monster Mortarion with his superb physical scythe. He knew that fighting again would be a dead end, so he immediately looked for an opportunity. Can teleport away.
No matter how powerful Mortarion is, what will happen? If you don't know psychic witchcraft, you can only stare and watch him escape with psychic powers.
However, Lazar's witchcraft, which he had always been proud of, suddenly had a problem. He originally set the other end of the teleportation at the foot of the mountain, but in the middle of the teleportation, he suddenly felt that his connection with the subspace was weakened.
Barbarus was originally a planet with a very thin barrier to the subspace, which also resulted in the psionic lords on it being able to easily obtain power from the subspace.
But suddenly, the feeling of being connected to the subspace was cut off, and the thicker physical laws of the real world squeezed Lord Lazar, forcing him to stop the teleportation midway.
He was squeezed out of the short-distance teleportation in subspace, and when he came out, he saw Hades and Herrera clearing away deserters from behind.
what is going on? !
Not only that, he found that his connection with subspace was getting weaker and weaker! He couldn't even muster his psionic energy to cast a simple psionic spell! ! !
No! Can't! ! !
what is going on? ? !
While fighting Hades, Lord Lazar was distracted and immersed in the countless taboo books he had read. One taboo word after another flashed across his eyes.
Finally, he found a word deep in his memory -
"untouchable" - untouchable.
Could it be that the miscellaneous fish opposite is untouchable? ? ? ! !
No, how is that possible! The Untouchables are completely a rumor from the old days. Even in the legendary Golden Age, there was not a single word about the Untouchables! Lazar was not an alien lord who believed in rumors, but his increasingly fragile connection with the subspace reminded him all the time. He even felt that since he started fighting with the soldiers on the opposite side, his soul was slowly slowly The ground is consumed.
No! ! ! impossible! ! ! Except for monsters like Mortarion! ! ! There is no low-level human being who can threaten him, Lazar! ! !
They are garbage! It's a weak insect! ! ! There are weeds everywhere! ! ! They can't be the kind of existence in the rumors! !
Lord Lazar's extremely sharp senses have already felt the tremor of Mortarion striding down the mountain road in the distance. Time is running out! !
This damn jumping bug! Mortals who can only use fragile physical attacks! ! !
I, Lazar, am an existence far higher than you! ! !
Die! ! !
Lazar ignored the already very weak subspace connection and stretched out a pale human-like hand from the depression on his back. The space next to the hand began to distort, and strange white light flickered and condensed on that hand.
He's going to tear this bug to pieces with one blow! ! !
Hades stared closely at the white light on that hand, and set up the sickle to protect the key parts.
Because of his previous dealings with Typhon, Hades knew very well that if he turned down and ran away now, he would not be able to escape the attack range of the psychic attack.
But...he might try--
run up!
He pretended to be defensive, but in fact, he used his peripheral vision to focus on a dead tree on the mountain wall next to him.
He planned to jump up at the moment the attack was launched, use his sickle to cling to the dead tree, and then rely on the momentum to swing up to avoid the attack!
If the impact of this psychic attack is extremely strong, the shock wave can even carry him to a safe area above!
Lazar will definitely not counterattack because he is also running for his life!
Even though Hades had blocked most of Lord Lazar's attacks before, the cut limbs had begun to react with weakness and twitching. At the same time, the large amount of bleeding made Hades feel dizzy.
Although he gritted his teeth and did not let himself show it, Hades knew that he could not hold on for long.
If Mortarion hasn't come to support him in another two minutes, Hades will definitely choose to jump off the cliff.
In other words,
the next action of both sides will be the key to determining the situation of the war.
However, something happened that neither party expected.
As Hades focused most of his attention on the spiritual energy gathering point, in a dimension he was not aware of, the nearly untouchable spherical black hole covering his whole body began to deform, and the pure black void began to twist. , as if alive, slowly creeping forward and extending.
If you look at Hades in the subspace, you will see a pure and thick black human figure in the center. He is like a very small star, emitting black light outwards. , everything the light touches is swallowed up.
But as the observation is further away, the black light becomes weaker and weaker, until it is completely integrated into the impure darkness of the subspace.
Since they are all black, it is difficult for you to notice this small black humanoid in the subspace.
At this time, Hades's black hole slowly and irreversibly deformed, swallowing up the yellow-green light belonging to Lord Lazar next to him, and also swallowed up all the fine pieces of pus floating next to these lights.
The loving father muttered a little in his sleep.
Hades stared closely at Lord Lazar.
Sudden! ! ! The fierce and violent white light in Lazar's hand disappeared in an instant, as if it had never existed, and the stone on his back exploded at the same time, and a huge shock wave exploded with Lord Lazar as the center!
The rolling shock wave also hit Hades, without any hesitation. With the thrust of the shock wave, Hades jumped into the air, struggled to lift the scythe and hooked it. The iron part on the back of the scythe blade firmly hooked the dead tree. Roots!
Hades used his hands to exert force and swayed with the momentum! Draw a perfect arc with the dead tree as the center!
His blood splashed as he slid, drawing the trajectory of Hades in the air.
The senses were amplified to the extreme, time was like a sticky swamp, and Hades clearly heard his heart beating slowly.
He is now diagonally above Lord Lazar. The monster is still alive after taking a strange explosion. His back is split open, and a large amount of blood spurts out like a fountain.
But he was not dead yet. Hades could clearly see his struggling limbs and clearly heard the monster's dying cry.
good chance! ! !
Without a trace of hesitation, Hades let the sickle loosen the branch. He swung the sword heavily towards the monster's head in the air.
At the same time, "Hades!!!"
The figures of Mortarion and Herrera suddenly appeared on the mountain road above. Along with them, there was a missile thrown by Mortarion towards Lazar. A dagger.
However, Hades, who was in the air, did not realize all this.
His mind had been emptied, and his whole body was focused on the scythe in his hand.
Then, Hades swung the full-moon scythe that reaped death and harvest—
heads and blood flew away.
He is the Death Guard, he is the scythe of humanity.
The protagonist has a physique similar to that of an untouchable, but for convenience later, the explanation will be directly explained as being untouchable.
In the early stage, everyone just understood the protagonist as an nb-level untouchable mutant.
There is a small bug here. With the physique of ordinary women, there is a high probability that they will not be able to catch up with the full-strength running of the original body Mortarion, but I think it is necessary for girls to see the protagonist acting cool, so it may be the power of love, maybe. .
