What bad thoughts can a paladin have?

Chapter 71

"Paladin... Annoying ants!"

Ren killed the bear goblin Dangut in one fell swoop, but also attracted the attention of the high-ranking mage of the Dragon Witch Cult, Mundas.

He raised the staff in his hand and cast spells quickly in his mouth.

- Epidemic!

The moment the off-white magic aura touched Ren's skin, the paladin's skin became red and swollen in the blink of an eye, and then abscesses bulged within a few seconds, and the wounds on his body began to inflame and fester.

The severe pain from the nerve endings made Ren's face contorted, and his whole body couldn't help trembling.

"You are affected by the blight effect!"

"Physical toughness save judgment is triggered! (If it fails, the death save judgment will be made!)"

"Successfully passed the immunity judgment!"

"You take 10 points of poison damage!"

"The epidemic [blindness] is triggered, and the blindness immunity judgment is made!...The special ability [God's Blessing] is activated, blindness is immune, and you suffer 3 points of poison damage!"

"The epidemic disease [Dementia] is triggered, and the immunity of Dementia is judged!... The special ability [God's Blessing] is activated, Dementia is immune, and you suffer 2 points of poison damage!"

"The epidemic disease [Fever Fever] is triggered, and the immunity of Fever Fever is judged!... The special ability [God's Blessing] is activated, Fever Fever is immune, and you suffer 4 points of poison damage!"

"The epidemic disease [brain fever] is triggered, and the brain fever immunity judgment is made!...The special ability [God's Blessing] is activated, and the brain fever is immune, and you suffer 5 points of poison damage!"

"The epidemic [redness] is triggered, and the redness immunity is judged!... The special ability [God's Blessing] is activated, the redness is immune, and you suffer 1 point of poison damage!"

"The epidemic [Tremor] is triggered, and the immunity of the tremor is judged!... The special ability [God's Blessing] is activated, and the tremor is immune, and you suffer 4 points of poison damage!"

"The epidemic [nausea] is triggered, and the nausea immunity is judged!... The special ability [God's Blessing] is activated, the nausea is immune, and you suffer 2 points of poison damage!"

The dense data frantically swiped the screen.

Ren, who poured a bottle of healing potion into his stomach, felt that he had walked through the gate of hell.

Fortunately, I am a paladin with the special ability [Divine Blessing], which makes me immune to all diseases, including supernatural or magical diseases.

If you switch to another profession, not only will you suffer a lot of damage after this wave of dense diseases, but your own attributes are more likely to be reduced to a horrible level.

This is also the reason why [Plague Spell] is called the most disgusting spell among the four-ring spells.

If you fail the immunity, you will die instantly. If you pass the immunity, you will suffer from various diseases. Once you fail the immunity, your own attribute value will be deducted.

Take blindness as an example, if the target of the spell is deducted 2 points or more from the Strength attribute due to blindness, he must make another Fortitude saving throw. Priest Jie healed himself.

Well, you know the price of high-level restoration techniques... Notoriously expensive!
"However, the opponent used the plague spell to attack him. It seems that he didn't prepare any useful spells today."

Ren looked past the wild creatures and looked at the figure in the black robe.

This mage who hides his head and shows his tail seems to be the leader of these wilderness creatures. If he wants to repel their attacks, he has to perform beheading tactics.

Thinking of this, Ren made up his mind instantly.

"Upstairs, help me cover!"

After shouting loudly, the paladin dragged his long sword and rushed towards the mage!
"Damn paladin, do you really think I can do nothing about you?"

Seeing that the opponent was still alive and kicking after being hit by his [Epidemic Spell], and even rushed towards him, Mengdas' face gradually became gloomy.

He knew that [Plague Spell] couldn't exert most of its power against paladins, but he didn't have many spells available.

In order to break through the gate of the castle as soon as possible, Mengdas chose to use the fireball technique directly. After that, the [Plague Technique] has become the most damaging spell among the third and fourth ring spells he prepared today.

Quickly put on mage armor on himself, and when Renn rushed to less than ten meters away from him, Mengdas quickly completed the second spell.

—— Ma Youfu's acid arrow!
A khaki acid magic arrow shot out from his palm and flew towards Ren's chest.

Looking at the magic arrow that flew in front of him almost instantly, Ren's pupils shrank, and he jumped up without even thinking about it. His figure almost passed the magic arrow and strode towards a cultist in front of him. jumped over.

— Jump and chop!
——Strike hard!
A sword chopped the hapless cultist to the ground, and Ren didn't even look at it. He ran a few steps again, squatted slightly, jumped up suddenly with the inertia of the forward charge, and launched the jump and chop again.

And this time, the target was Meng Das who was seven meters away with a look of astonishment on his face!
"Brainless fool!"

Mengdas sneered at the paladin's rushing behavior. He waved his staff lightly, activating the spell attached to the staff, and his whole body was instantly shrouded in a cloud of mist. When the mist disappeared, he had already appeared in the distance. Ten meters away from where he was originally standing.

——Misty step!

Seeing the paladins who were gradually surrounded by his own men, Mengdas showed a smug smile on his face.

As I said long ago, mages never stand under dangerous walls!

As long as this difficult paladin is dealt with, Hemer Town will be half won.

Just as he was thinking this way, suddenly there was a howling wind from behind his head, and then, a majestic voice spread throughout the battlefield.

"Mr. Mayor, hang on, we're back!"

——Flash!

When time was running out, Mengdas released the flashing technique, transforming himself into a spirit state and teleporting into the spirit world, avoiding the barbarian's sword.

The high-level mage in the spirit state activated the spell on the staff again, and was about to get out of danger again, but unexpectedly, in an instant, a huge sword mixed with violent force field energy suddenly slapped at him.

"Dare to cast spells in front of the spirit guard? Feel the angry will of the wild spirit!"

Arcane Counterattack!

The exclusive ability of the spirit guard, if the enemy casts a spell within its attack range, it can instantly attack it and cause a large amount of force field damage.

Accompanied by the roar of the barbarians in the Northland, Mengdas only felt that his mage armor was instantly shattered, and he was also knocked out of the spirit world by the surging energy of the position, and flew out involuntarily, and finally He fell heavily to the ground.

"Cough, cough..."

Wiping the blood that was flowing from the corner of his mouth, Mundas felt like retreating.

If he had known that this would be the case, he should have waited until the next day, when the spell slots he had consumed were completely recovered, and joined forces with Lanzhuosha Qingnu to attack the castle, but ended up in such a mess.

He seemed to see Lord Rezmir's disappointed eyes...

For the first time, a high-ranking mage who has always paid attention to demeanor developed an emotion called "regret".

Seeing the barbarian and the soldiers beside him approaching him step by step, he knew that if he didn't leave, he would really stay here forever...

"Wait for my revenge..."

Thinking this way, Mundas used the staff to perform the Lost Step again before the barbarians approached, and it was also the last time today.

His figure disappeared under the white mist, and then appeared ten meters away.

Huh~ It's safe.

Just as this idea appeared in Mundas's mind, a light vibration of the bowstring rang in his ears.

The next moment, he couldn't help but let out a scream.

He lowered his head, only to see an arrow piercing through the sole of his foot, firmly nailed to the ground.

boom!
At the same time, another shot was fired.

Mundas' right arm bone was hit by the halfling's musket, and the staff fell from his hand limply to the ground.

"die!"

When he raised his head, he saw that paladin leaping up from the crowd, flying over a distance of seven or eight meters like a bird, and beheading him with the handle in his hand!
What remained in his mind in the end was that radiant holy light!
