Lord of Glory - Chapter 123: A Tough Bitter Fight

As soon as Paladin’s words fell, these soldiers looked at each other and immediately roared in unison, grasping the weapons in their hands tightly, rushing in a swarm towards Nashura and Adele who were standing in front of the city wall. Looking at these soldiers rushing over, Nashura slightly moved over and stood in front of Adele’s body with his head lowered and said softly, “I hate using magic to kill people. Because magic is not a sword, but knowledge. But you…” Saying this, Nashura raised his head, and those aquamarine eyes unexpectedly emitted a shocking coldness!

“But you! You are forcing me to use knowledge to kill people, and hurting people who are important to me….Unforgivable!” Just as soon as he finished speaking, the wand in Nashura’s hand was immediately raised and swung violently at the soldiers who had surrounded him! Only to see an azure luster flashing before his eyes, the ground surrounding Nashura immediately formed a semicircle of blue arcs of light! Those soldiers who had never seen the power of magic just stepped on the arc of light, the blue ground immediately shot out a circle of sharp ice spikes! Without any hindrance, they pierced through the armor and body of the soldiers who rushed to the front. Poofs of blood sprayed out, and five or six corpses just hung on top of the ice spikes!

“Magic….Magic!” The soldiers at the back saw such an attack, immediately causing their already low military spirit to immediately collapse. Magic! This was magic! That most mysterious and dangerous power! It was a powerful weapon that only noble mages could use! In an instant, after recognizing that this black-robed man was a mage, these soldiers immediately stopped their sprint and began to cower backward. “You guys go, instead of dying under my magic, you should go home and spend some quality time with your families.”

Nashura obviously sensed the soldiers’ cowering mood and immediately began to persuade. However, the doppelganger standing at the back would never wish to see such a situation and immediately frowned and threatened, “What are you doing! Do you want to escape? If you dare to run away, I will definitely put your entire family on the gallows together for the crime of treason! Now get up there and kill him!”

The doppelganger shook the crossed swords in his hand and threatened like this, but although these words did make the soldiers feel some fear, but under the powerful magical might of Nashura, they stopped and hesitantly stood still. The doppelganger’s eyes narrowed, it seems that these trash won’t go to their deaths without some cruelty. No matter what, the doppelganger’s hand exerted force, the cross sword immediately brought up a sliver of bright silver light, and chopped off the heads of three soldiers with a brush! Staring at the vicious eyes, he cursed: “Quickly attack! Do you really want your whole family to die with you!”

The soldiers were shocked, glanced at their companions lying in a pool of blood on the ground, looked at each other, and could only swallow their saliva, grasped the weapons in their hands and looked at the sad-faced Nashura again, roared angrily, and rushed up. “Huh.” Nashura sighed as if in mourning, the wand in his hand gently lifted, only to hear a clicking sound rise and fall. Icy blue frost immediately flew on these soldiers wearing armor! In an instant, they were frozen into ice sculptures, posing still charging to freeze to death in place. “Paladin, you are the person with the lowest moral character I have ever seen. How dare you ask innocent soldiers to die for you.” Slowly raising his head, Nashura gently stroked these ice sculptures, the strength of his hands as if he were calming these innocent undead, but his face was a look of anger, glaring at the doppelganger with a deadly glare.

And at this moment, the doppelganger’s heart sank straight down. What threat could these ordinary soldiers pose to a Great Magician? He naturally wouldn’t expect anything. It was only because of his unique vision of seeing the elements that he was able to borrow the lives of these trash to observe the amount consumed by Nashura’s spell casting as a way to set up a plan and judge the enemy situation.

Unfortunately, just Nashura had released two wide-range magic spells almost instantaneously. Yet his thousand or so number of elements didn’t fall below one thousand! In other words, if there were another five hundred people, as long as there weren’t any archers or powerful professions. It would be effortless for Nashura to eliminate! To put it more simply, the odds of the doppelganger’s current number of five hundred elementals against this powerful Great Magician were really slim. It was simply a case of hitting a stone with an egg and being self-defeating.

“Paladin, it’s your turn!” Nashura said with staring eyes, and raised the magic wand in his hand again. And at this moment, the Doppelganger on the opposite side immediately bowed down, exerted strength on its feet, and rushed towards Nashura as swiftly and violently as a bolt of lightning! The Doppelganger knew that if this guy was allowed to successfully cast the spell, then only he would die. It’s a pity, Nashura had already seen all this, and when he saw the Doppelganger flying towards him, he immediately twirled the magic wand in his hand, and a huge ice wall suddenly erected in front of the Doppelganger! Swish! He saw a flash of sword light, and the ice wall was split open by the sword without any suspense. But at this moment, his heart felt a little cold, because at this moment, he was indeed delayed by half a beat.

The broken ice wall in front of his eyes slowly flew away, and the Doppelganger who felt bad at once could not turn back in time before he saw Nashura behind the ice wall holding his hand up and aiming it at him, and that palm was flashing with a blinding blue light! “Drink!” Only hearing Nashura roar, the palm of that flickering blue light spread a blue ripple all of a sudden. Driven by a strong sense of crisis, the pupils of the eyes of the doppelganger in mid-air immediately contracted, and he hurriedly swung his sword backhandedly in front of his body! However, right at this moment, it was as if the body of the sword had been struck hard by a heavy object, the gravity crushed the sword, causing the doppelganger to instantly be unable to support it, and the sword was immediately stuck on top of his chest!

Boom! This time, it was the sword in front of the Doppelganger that spread a blue ripple. The Doppelganger’s entire body flew back at a speed faster than he had rushed in! It knocked over a large tree with a loud bang and sat down on the ground with a shriveled face. “Ouch….” The Doppelganger’s face was unusually deathly white, he felt the bones of this body shivering, as if he had been stabbed by countless needles inserted into his body! The doppelganger who was feeling the damage to his body, his face changed slightly and he violently lowered his head to spit out blood. But what shocked him was that there were broken ice crystals in the blood! Obviously that impact just now, not only the outer damage, even the internal organs were frostbitten!

Barely lifting his head, the doppelganger suddenly saw Nashura was also panting slightly. Even more so, he realized that there were already only six hundred elements left in his body! Obviously that impact just now was definitely not any simple magic. Moreover, the Doppelganger was also able to see that the huge and complex magic framework that flashed at the moment of the release of that one strike of magic was also not just any ordinary goods that could be cast.

It was a high-grade magic that the doppelganger, who only had two hundred elements left in his body, was unable to cast. Overall though, the gap between the two parties today was not that big. Both were in a state of excessive consumption. The doppelganger held on to this thread of comfort and reluctantly stood up again. Only he ignored the fact that he hadn’t even touched Nashura once, outside of his sneak attack from the very beginning. Obviously the gap between the two sides wasn’t nearly what he thought it was.

“What, haven’t you given up yet? That magic just now should have already hurt your internal organs. It’s simply a miracle that you can still stand up.” Nashura slightly calmed his panting, looking at the doppelganger who barely stood up and took a step towards him with such a sneer. However, the doppelganger didn’t pay any attention to this, and suddenly let out a low roar, his feet once again exerted force, about to charge up again! “Hmph!”

Nashura shouted angrily, and the orbs of his eyes suddenly turned ice-blue, and he could vaguely see complex magical constructs from within his orbs. Only seeing Nashura’s eyes flash, the advancing doppelganger immediately saw that three hundred water elements separated from Nashura’s mana ring and violently pounced on the doppelganger! But the Doppelganger’s two hundred light elements were no joke. Inherently strongly aggressive and offensive, they immediately launched a fierce counterattack as soon as they encountered the invasion of foreign elements! “Eh? What’s going on?” Nashura was slightly stunned, this magic of his, Eye of Gaze, was very powerful, usually when used, the target he gazed at would instantly be completely frozen from the inside out! But this surprisingly didn’t work on the Doppelganger.

Two hundred light elementals resisted, but unfortunately, there were only two hundred of them at the moment, while the other party’s intruders numbered three hundred! Under the extremely weak state of the doppelganger at the moment, the two hundred light elements collapsed in no time, and the three hundred water elements broke through the magic ring, bursting straight into the body! An unprecedented pain spread out from the body. The doppelganger violently tilted his head and screamed miserably! “Ah ah ah ah!”

Visible to the naked eye, a thick layer of frost quickly formed on the Doppelganger’s body. However, in an instant, the Doppelganger’s screams could no longer be heard, at this moment, he kept his head tilted up and stood in place, his body was frozen into ice bumps. Even the ground that his feet stepped on was covered in a thick layer of ice! If one was able to see inside, they would find that the doppelganger’s body at the moment, including his heart and bones, were frozen into ice!

If those soldiers were frozen to death just now, then now, the Doppelganger is from the inside to the outside, without any bones, all turned into ice cubes! With a click, the sword in the ice sculpture’s Doppelganger’s hand, even under such a powerful cold, cracked and snapped into several sections. After falling to the ground, it quickly melted into water droplets! That’s right, the sword, which was originally made of refined iron, has now melted into water droplets like ice cubes!

“Whew.” After confirming that the doppelganger was completely dead, Nashura finally let out a sigh of relief as if he was relieved. The fatigue on his face also gradually showed. Indeed, for the first time in as long as he had become a mage, he had fought a swordsman with so much effort. And at this moment, there was not much magic left that he could release. Silently, he turned around and looked at Adele, who was leaning against the city wall with a pale face. Seeing the warm and soft smile thrown over by the latter. Nashura also couldn’t help but laugh bitterly for a while, “I’m exhausted… In short, he is dead. I also avenged O’Neill, hey…”

Nashura said so, striding his tired legs towards Adele. Adele also barely braced herself to stand up. With a comforting tone, she said, “Don’t worry, about the Mage’s Guild and the Duchy, we can go see your teacher together and explain it to him. Don’t you often mention your teacher? It’s just as well that I can meet this highly respected magic guide as well.” As soon as Nashura heard the teacher in Adele’s mouth, he immediately smiled somewhat cheerfully, “Yes, although the teacher spends his days nestled in the mage tower studying magic, he is also a reasonable person. This matter has gone on for a few months without a word to him. I really should go back and apologize to my teacher.”

Adele smiled slightly and was about to open her mouth to make fun when her eyes suddenly caught behind her and her pupils immediately contracted! A face of shock! At this moment, Paladin, who was sitting in the fortress’s castle, muttered under his breath with a deathly white face, “Don’t think I’ll die like this!” Being sealed by the ice incarnation, at this moment that originally lost the luster of the eyes, suddenly burst out blinding golden light! The golden light immediately pierced through the ice and shot straight out. The ice crystals that covered the whole body immediately melted rapidly! Only to hear a boom, the split head violently exploded, a small ball of light suddenly shot out extremely fast, rushing towards Nashura who had just turned his head!

A miracle appeared! That flying ball of light immediately gave off a dazzling light, within the light, one piece of bone after another coalesced and formed, and in the blink of an eye a human skeleton appeared. The ball of light was covered in brains by the stitched skull at once. Instead, the skeleton kept up its flying speed and ran wildly! When it was too late, a full set of internal organs immediately grew out of the ribs, and the heart in the left chest immediately began to beat fiercely. And between the bones immediately have countless blood vessels, nerves, already meridians grow, instantly spread all over the skeleton body! That wasn’t the end of it, as soon as the blood vessels finished spreading out, large swathes of muscle immediately began to cover the bones! Mouth, eyes, nose, skin, pores, and then long red hair. But in the blink of an eye, another living Alfred appeared!

“Look out!” Adele was too late to stop, seeing the other Alfred that was flying towards her. All she could do was hastily alert the frothing Nashura. “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! ‘ The doppelganger that rushed over angrily shouted, his eyes bursting with golden light, his hand immediately condensed into a lightsaber, and with a backhanded sword he was about to slash the Nashura in front of him at the waist! But right at this moment, the Adele behind him was like a god possessing her, and under severe injuries, she couldn’t just watch her lover die on the spot. Miraculously stretched out her only hand, and pulled Nashura backward! And that chopped over the lightsaber, only the tip of the sword to cut through Nashura’s robes, sliced through the belly only!

“Ah ah ah ah!” Nashura let out a miserable scream and fell to the ground. At the moment, a horizontal line on his stomach was smoking with burnt black smoke. That cutting wound surprisingly didn’t bleed in the slightest, as it had been roasted alive by the heat! “Ah.” After making this strike, the doppelganger saw no success. This new body that had just been formed was immediately overwhelmed, and the entire person fell to the ground on his knees powerlessly. A large cold sweat emerged from the new body. And with a deathly white face, the completely stunned Nashura came back to his senses, looking incredulously at the doppelganger in front of him, and then glancing at the other person who had frozen into an ice sculpture in the distance behind him. An unimaginable thought appeared in his mind, “A miracle? Or necromancy? It’s amazing!”

Adele, who was about to deliver another fatal blow to the weakened doppelganger, suddenly heard the sound of a large number of footsteps resounding in the distance. Looking at the vague heads, the number was at least around a hundred! At that moment, no longer hesitating, upholding the spirit of the assassin’s failure to hit immediately disappeared. Adele shook Nashura, who was still in shock, and said, “Quickly, quickly escape!” The latter’s body shook violently and immediately swallowed his saliva as he looked at the doppelganger who stared at him with glaring eyes. Barely standing up and helping up the weak Adele, he looked at the doppelganger who was lying on the ground without movement and threw down a sentence, “You monster.” After that, he took Adele and disappeared into the shadows.
