In the Name of the Queen

The ghost knights come like a tide and pass away like an ebbing tide.

Of course, they are not illusions, but real ghost knights, responsible for patrolling, chasing, and arresting enemies. Of course, their long swords will hurt and kill them.

It's a pity that they had a bad year today and chose the wrong opponent.

In front of Sophia, their perseverance, bravery and strength were in vain.

Sophia drew her sword seriously at first, but by the time the third wave of ghost knights charged, she had already used the power of destruction and rebirth to strengthen her hands, and she was able to kill the group with her bare hands.

Roland stood behind Sophia, admiring her killing show.

Whether it was intentional or not, the power Sophia used was almost the same as the power Roland could control during normal combat.

In other words, Sophia didn't even exert 30% of her strength before these ghost knights fell.

To be fair, the Nether Knights are covered in heavy black armor and have excellent attack and defense. They are very good heavy armored cavalry. They are no match for the human cavalry from the Theia plane.

But after all, they are just regular troops in the underworld, and they are not considered top-notch.

Sif, who was running away in embarrassment, could easily turn around and kill the Ghost Knight, let alone Sophia who was well prepared.

Even if Roland is replaced, he can easily block these pursuers, but he will be more embarrassed than Sophia.

Roland knew very well that Sophia was teaching him on the spot.

He was grateful for Sophia's kindness, but he still wanted to complain.

In fact, there is no need to compete with these underworld soldiers who have no independent consciousness, just go around them.

They don't need to cross the River Styx, they just need to hide their aura and leave quickly.

Seeing Sophia immersed in the joy of fighting, Roland was speechless.

Although fighting is fun, it depends on the situation.

Is now the time to indulge in fighting?

Seeing that Sophia had no intention of leaving, waiting patiently like a game master waiting for monsters to refresh, Roland finally couldn't help but remind her:

"Sofia, it's almost time for us to leave, right?"

"Almost? A lot different."

Sophia flatly refused. She raised her hand to interrupt Roland's explanation and said in a deep voice: "I know you are worried about Sif, but it is useless to worry, and there is no need."

"The Sea of ​​Annihilation has no life, but its consumption is very small. She is in a spiritual state, and her energy is almost not consumed. She can last for a long time before the energy is exhausted. She just can't get out, so she will not die."

You won’t die, but you will feel uncomfortable!

Roland was a little unhappy in his heart. Just when he was about to emphasize this point, Sophia said lightly: "If you want to save people, just listen to me."

"As commanded."

Although he was worried, he still respected Sophia's decision.

When Sophia has not made a decision, she can raise her opinions and raise objections. Once she made a decision, it was just a matter of execution.

She risked her life to help, and of course Roland would not disobey her.

Seeing that Roland didn't look good, Sophia's tone became a little colder.

"Do you think I am someone who is obsessed with fighting and refuses to leave?"

"No, I just..." Of course, this cannot be said directly, otherwise it will be just asking for trouble.

However, Sophia's next words almost choked Roland.

"Yes, you guessed it right."

Roland was really angry this time. Sif's life and death are uncertain now, and she is struggling painfully in the Sea of ​​Annihilation. Why are you here to kill monsters?

Roland would not be so angry if these Nether Knights had explosive equipment, but they did not have any equipment.

The Nether Knights are formed from the resentment accumulated in the Nether Sea. After being depleted, they return to the Nether Sea. They will recover in a short time. They are almost endless and cannot be killed at all.

Just when he was about to question, something suddenly stirred in his mind.

It doesn't make sense. Although Sophia has a bad personality, she won't make fun of Sif's life.

She might not care about Sif, but she would at least consider his feelings.

In the blink of an eye, Roland thought of a possibility.

In Sophia's equally relaxed state, it became easier and easier to kill three waves of ghost knights. Maybe it was not adaptation, but that she was getting stronger?

As expected of a fighting maniac, he can actually kill monsters and become stronger.

Roland asked tentatively: "Have you benefited much from the battle?"

"Um."

Sophia explained softly: "Roland, have you noticed that after entering the underworld, the power lock restrictions on extraordinary people disappeared."

"Oh, I'm sorry, you haven't touched the ceiling of power at the same level yet, so you shouldn't be able to feel it."

Roland sighed speechlessly: "In just two sentences, you have hurt me twice."

"The Ghost Knight is here again, this time it's your turn."

Sophia retreated behind Roland and turned into an audience, with no intention of taking action.

Roland cheered up, shouted softly, picked up the transformed scepter, and went forward.

"Bang!"

The scepter hit the Nether Knight's head accurately, making a dull impact.

He was a little surprised.

Seeing Sophia taking action and strolling around, he looked down on the Nether Knight in his heart. He didn't expect him to be so tough?

"Don't be surprised, they were promoted." Sophia explained softly.

I see.

Three waves of Nether Knights were wiped out by the group, and the people who managed them could sense something was wrong even if they were idiots.

Roland observed carefully that these ghost knights were indeed different from before. Their eyes were not empty sockets, but replaced by red mist.

The previous Nether Knight looked like a shriveled skeleton, but now Gao Low is a skeleton king.

The long knives in their hands also changed their attire.

It changed from a heavy black long sword to a bright black translucent long sword, and the handle of the sword was also much longer.

Obviously, the destructive power of the new long sword is far greater than before.

Roland wanted to complain about Sophia's cheating.

He simply killed three waves of ordinary monsters by himself, and the elite monsters were thrown to him?

Complaining aside, Roland's response was still very fast. He directly summoned the holy light and smashed it hard.

Sophia came to the underworld in the flesh, shining like a high beam at night, and she didn't intend to hide at all.

She can flash the high beam, so what's wrong with flashing a flashlight?

In the underworld, Sophia's physical form is much more eye-catching than the holy light.

The dazzling light descended, and the body and armor of the Nether Knight made a "sizzling" sound, and the Nether Knight was quickly destroyed in the purification of the holy light.

Although they have strong defense against physical damage, they still can't stand the damage of spells.

Roland was about to pursue the victory, but he heard a faint sigh from behind.

It was Sophia.

Obviously, she felt a little sorry for her own trick of using restrained attributes to win.

Although Sophia also used the power of destruction and rebirth, she did not use extraordinary power to directly destroy the enemy, but strengthened herself and used the most restrained physical attack to solve the enemy.

Roland's cheeks were slightly red, and he shouted angrily, cheered up, infused the holy light into his body, picked up the scepter and shield and pushed hard.

He did not use any skills, just relied on the weight of blunt weapons and shields to smash hard.

A heavy sword has no edge, and great skill is not skillful.

In the repeated throwing and smashing, his wrist became more and more sore.

Just when the pain almost made him unable to bear it, he was surprised to find that his wrist lightened, and the most difficult time to hold on had passed.

Just like crossing a threshold, his ability to control heavy weapons has leaped.

This time, Sophia didn't need to emphasize, and he didn't plan to leave.

"I will continue in the next wave, you hold the line for me."

Roland was full of heroic spirit.

"Can you do it? It won't be so easy next time." Sophia raised her eyebrows slightly.

Roland snorted lightly. Can the old woman speak? Can a man admit that he can't do it?

Even if the general who commands the Nether Knights comes, he has to cheer up and go.

Just as he cheered himself up and prayed that his luck would not be too bad, the air seemed to be several degrees colder.

Without time to think, he subconsciously raised his shield to block.

The sound of ding-dong-dong sounded like raindrops. Roland took three steps back and spurted out a mouthful of black blood. Only then did he barely stabilize his body and didn't fall down.

The black mist in the air gradually condensed and appeared in front of him.

"Humans in spirit state, and there are still living people?!"

The Nether General condensed from the black mist looked at Roland and Sophia in astonishment and let out a piercing scream.

"Roland, do it."

Sophia's voice was still in the air, and she had already pounced on it.

The Nether General used a scream to notify the reinforcements. Things got out of hand.

We must kill the Nether General quickly before we can find an opportunity to move in.

Since the enemy has no martial ethics, Sophia will not be pedantic. If you like to shake people, use your life as compensation.

Roland certainly will not abide by the rules of one-on-one duels.

What a joke.

One-on-one duels are the rules for knights to compete with each other, and it is the way for human nobles to turn war into a game. These Nether Knights are not even considered human beings, so why should they use human rules.

The holy light shone fiercely on the eyes of the Nether General.

His eyes are different from those of the elite Nether Knights. They are indeed somewhat like humans, but his eyes only have whites and no pupils. It is obvious that he is not a human.

White eyes are very useful in dim environments, but their sensitivity to light is many times that of ordinary eyes, and they are very afraid of direct strong light.

Roland has no martial ethics and uses the holy light as a flare to flash the Nether General fiercely.

The Nether General is like an unlucky person who encounters a high-beam dog when driving tired at night, and he loses consciousness instantly.

This moment of surprise determines his tragic fate.

Sophia and Roland attacked at the same time and annihilated him directly.

He died, and died completely. Roland blinded his eyes, and Sophia cut off his life with a sword, and then sent him into reincarnation with the power of rebirth.

But the Nether General had no soul at all. He was originally the condensation of countless grievances. These grievances did not come from the same person, and once activated, they would explode instantly.

The Nether General exploded almost instantly and disappeared without a trace, leaving only a broken armor, and even the long sword was taken away by Sophia.

A large number of reinforcements came quickly, and only saw two groups of lights moving away quickly at the far end.

The murderer has escaped!

Chase!

The underworld judge who came stared at the direction where Roland and Sophia disappeared, and coldly issued a pursuit order.

Entering the underworld in the form of a spirit instead of a soul is already very disrespectful, but spirits are strictly speaking not living people, so they can still grit their teeth and endure it. Entering the underworld in the form of a flesh body like Sophia is pure provocation.

Sophia did not hide her tracks, nor could she hide them at all, so they were spotted and hunted by the Hades Knights as soon as they approached the Styx.

Several high-ranking judges in the underworld only understood the general situation and handed it over to their subordinates for handling.

Although there are few precedents of living people forcibly entering the underworld, they are not absent.

They are very experienced in dealing with such blasphemous acts.

I don’t know which bastard spread the rumor that entering the underworld and finding the librarian in charge of the list of life and death can change your life span and live as long as you want, which led to a lot of living people visiting for a while.

In order to prevent this phenomenon, the high-ranking officials of the underworld took ruthless measures, killing all the living people who broke in and making them into specimen trees at the gate to the underworld, which were eaten by the guard dogs of the underworld and pulled out and then pieced together.

This time, of course, the living people had to be handled according to the rules.

"Did they escape?"

Roland hid behind a black stone and asked softly with lingering fear. He didn't dare to stick his head out casually, for fear of being discovered by the pursuers.

"No, they are coming." Sophia's tone was calm with a bit of eagerness.

"What's going on?" Roland asked with a frown.

There were only two people in total. He had no problem, so it was naturally Sophia who had a problem.

"I waved to them and pointed them in the direction."

Roland: "."

What can I say?

He could only sigh, grit his teeth and stood up with the scepter.

"Roland, go!" Sophia was excited.

Roland stared at the enemy who appeared, feeling the terrifying aura permeating the other party, and a chill surged in his heart.

Years of fighting had made his intuition extremely sharp. He clearly sensed that this was a strong man who was difficult to contend with.

He took a step back, preparing to retreat behind Sophia to cheer her up, but his back hit Sophia's tall body hard.

The soft touch made his back feel cold.

He accidentally touched Sophia's body when he was panicking. Would she be angry?

Of course Sophia would not be angry. Roland just accidentally stepped back, and the impact was not strong, so the damage to her was zero.

She put her right hand on Roland's shoulder, and her voice was accompanied by a stream of heat.

"I'll lend you some of my power, just enough to match him. You can figure out the fighting skills yourself."

Of course Sophia could do it herself, but such an excellent sandbag was very suitable for Roland to practice.

She forced Roland to buff up to the same strength as the pursuer, and then let Roland practice his skills.

She did not expect Roland to kill the pursuer, as long as he could win.

It is too difficult to kill someone with the same strength, unless the skills are completely crushed, or even a generation gap is opened.

The power of destruction and rebirth collided with the sacred energy in Roland's body, almost tearing his soul apart.

This pain that penetrated into the soul cannot be described in words. In the moment just now, Roland even felt that death was a kind of relief.

He screamed and almost fainted. Fortunately, he punched himself hard before fainting to stabilize his spirit.

Roland launched a violent attack like a storm.

After all, the old woman is still a pure body. She must be unhappy to be accidentally "rubbed" by him.

But the old woman is also a war maniac.

As long as she has a good record, her attention will be distracted, and she will forget the collision just now.

Charge, kill, can't stop!

Roland used all his life's learning. His offensive was like a mountain torrent, continuously surging, and he didn't give him a chance to breathe.

Whether it's the enemy or yourself, don't stop!

The Nether Ranger who was chasing looked at Roland in surprise, his expression changed from astonishment to anger.

Are you crazy? Do you really want to die together?

Human, I can be resurrected, what about you?

The Nether Ranger turned on the life-changing mode very irritably, without any defense, and killed fiercely.

At the moment he attacked, the destructive power borrowed by Roland hit his unguarded head through the scepter.

Holy light broke the defense, destruction exploded, and new life was saved.

The three powers burst out one after another, and the coordination was perfect.

Roland knew that these powers were borrowed, and he never thought about merging them.

With his strength, it was just too much to want to merge Sophia's power.

Pragmatism is supreme, he cleverly manipulated the three powers to attack one after another, completing the defense breaking, attacking, killing and saving in an extremely short time.

The Nether General died.

Roland looked back, with a little pride in his eyes.

This was the first time he saw Sophia's approval of the battle process.

I won!

Roland's eyes went dark and he fell forward.

He didn't notice that Sophia subconsciously hugged him, and their bodies touched each other without hindrance.

Fortunately, he fainted, otherwise he would have been shocked by this scene.

Holding Roland, Sophia was slightly stunned and suddenly realized that the distance between them was very close.

With a slight shake of her slender hand, Roland was thrown out.

Seeing that Roland had no intuition and fell headfirst, Sophia knew that he was unconscious, and quickly bent down to hug him again.

"Fortunately, you fell asleep, otherwise I would have to knock you out, which would be troublesome." (End of this chapter)
