"They have already left the territory of the Cult of Shadows.”
Just as Lu Feng was deep in thought, the old man reminded him, and his aura instantly changed.
Although the old man didn't show any signs of vigilance, the frequency of him checking his surroundings had obviously increased.
Seeing the old man's reaction, Manoya frowned. She immediately turned around and reminded Lu Feng,""We have to be careful outside the territory of the Cult of Shadows. If we're not careful, we might die in the hands of the enemy.”
"After all, the Cult of Shadows is hated by everyone.”
“……”
Upon hearing Manoya's special reminder to Lu Feng, the old man frowned and quickly glanced at Lu Feng.
After seeing Lu Feng's dazed expression, the old man frowned inexplicably and turned around in confusion.
Generally speaking, a death mage would rarely say such complicated words to his spirit.
Even if he did, if the low-level undead did not have enough intelligence, they would not be able to understand.
Therefore, most death mages would only give orders.
Could it be that the undead summoned by Miss Monoya had a higher IQ?
But it didn't seem to be a high-level undead, right?
The old man explained himself and chuckled, thinking that he was overthinking.
Just as the three of them were having their own thoughts, a roar suddenly came from the depths of the forest beside them.
At the same time, the sound of trampling and the rustling of leaves began to get closer and closer to the three of them.
"What happened?"
Manoya frowned at the old man, seeking an explanation.
The old man looked in the direction of the thicket and was shocked. Just as he was about to warn him to be careful, the thicket was knocked away by a figure.
In the next second, a figure that blocked the light appeared in the air and jumped in front of the three of them.
……
Boom!
With a loud bang, the ground shook slightly.
Another rustling sound was heard. The figure hidden in the darkness approached step by step and finally stood quietly in front of Lu Feng and the other two.
It was only when the light enveloped it that Lu Feng and the others could see the full appearance of the black shadow in front of them.
It was a three-headed, six-tailed demonic beast. Its entire body was dark green, and its body was extremely sturdy. Its eyes were pitch-black.
The three heads of the magical beast were all bull heads. Ever since it appeared, it kept snorting.
Every breath would form a small vortex in front of it, then roll up the branches and leaves on the ground and dissipate.
On the back of the magical beast, a man in silver armor held a long sword in one hand and a light shield in the other. He stood proudly with a disdainful gaze.
Upon seeing this man, both the old man and Manoya were shocked, and they immediately assumed a defensive stance.
At the same time, Manoya reminded him softly,""It's a Paladin!"
Noticing the reactions of Manoya and the old man, Lu Feng stared at the man before him for a few more times before he came to a realization.
This man riding on a magical beast seemed to be a Paladin with the power of purification. His strength had already reached the peak of the sixth step, which was a realm higher than Lu Feng and Manoya. He was indeed not to be underestimated.
It was no wonder that such a prideful woman like Manoya would be so nervous.
After all, this man could take her life with a swing of his sword!
……
At the same time, the Holy Knight's gaze also focused on them.
After sensing the aura of Monoya and the old man, the Holy Knight suddenly laughed out loud in excitement.
"I thought I was wrong!”
As he spoke, the Holy Knight raised his sword and struck the back of the magical beast with a clang. The magical beast roared and shook the surroundings.
The holy knight sized up Monoya and said calmly,""I really didn't expect to meet an ant of the Cult of Shadows in this mountain range.”
Ants?
Hearing the way the Holy Knight addressed her, Monoya was instantly enraged. She stared at him coldly.
However, when she thought about how the other party was much stronger than her, she did not dare to attack rashly.
Even with Lu Feng, it would be difficult for him to be a match for this Paladin.
" Why would a Holy Knight appear here…"
Manoya deliberately lowered her voice and asked the old man in front of her angrily.
The old man shook his head and replied softly,""I don't know. It's been decades since I've seen an outsider here.”
"That's strange…"
Manoya took a deep breath and gripped her staff tightly.
Sensing that Manoya wanted to fight, the old man immediately advised,""Miss Monoya, I'll hold them off here. Take your undead and leave this place as soon as possible!”
"You? Can you do it yourself?"
Manoya looked at the old man's frail back and raised her eyebrows.
The Paladin opposite him was at the peak of the sixth step. Although this old man had already reached Tier 6, he had only just stepped into the peak stage.
He might not be a match for this Paladin.
"It's alright." " No!" The old man shook his head." Nothing must happen to you, because you carry the hope of the dark church!"”
"Please leave quickly!"
After the old man finished speaking, he pulled out his greataxe and stood between the holy knight and Monoya.
The old man was a warrior, but his body was not as strong as before. He was already old, and even the huge axe in his hand was a huge contrast to his own body.
After taking one last look at the old man, Manoya left with Lu Feng without hesitation.
It was the elder's duty as a member of the Dark World to protect him. Furthermore, he had a mission, so Manoya would not stop him.
Instead of wasting time doing useless things, it was better to escape as soon as possible!
Thus, Manoya no longer hesitated. Waving her scepter, she wrapped Lu Feng in dark magic and forcefully brought him away.
"Keep running southeast and you'll be able to leave the mountain range!”
The old man shouted at Manoya for the last time. Without further ado, he roared and charged at the Holy Knight.
"Hehe, rats of the dark church! You overestimate yourself!"
Seeing the old man's foolish behavior, the Holy Knight laughed coldly, and his combat qi instantly condensed on the blade of his sword.
Whoosh.
A dazzling golden light flashed. The Paladin raised his sword and slashed down. The old man did not even have time to block before his body was directly cut in half.
The giant axe in the old man's hand didn't even touch the holy knight or the magical beast before he fell to the ground and died.
Looking at the direction that Lu Feng and Manoya were fleeing in, the Holy Knight sneered and chased after them.
