The Shadow of the Crown of Snow [Western Fantasy]

Neither Hecate nor Hussein had grown up to fight like a god.The duel between the two of them is essentially a fight between two humans, but their strength has far surpassed that of humans, and the impact of their power of faith on the surroundings cannot be caused by human battles.

The two "gods" who have not yet mastered the fighting style of the gods are like two human beings who do not know any fighting skills and have clumsy control over their bodies. They can only choose the simplest method by instinct: directly use All the power to collide.

This was actually a battle purely relying on strength. However, after taking into account the influence of various factors, the strength of the two people was almost the same, which made this unsuspecting duel that should have ended at the beginning. It became a fight.

Hussein's power of faith no longer surrounds Frost-covered City. He took back all the power of faith to himself, just like Hecate gathered the power of faith generated by the prayers of all the soldiers. The Crescent Blade and Every contact of the claws is an explosion of the force of faith colliding.

Hecate was glad that he insisted on letting Selene escape just now. Human beings could not only participate in this battle, but also could not watch it.

At the center of the sharp collision between the two groups of beliefs, the crescent blade that is constantly injected with the power of faith has not broken or become fragile. This has become Hecate's greatest advantage. Hussein's black claws are extremely fast. Extremely strong, but not immune to blade damage.

Soon, Hussein also realized the disadvantage, and at the same time remembered that he didn't have to fight Hecate in hand-to-hand combat-it was stupid behavior.

Just like Hecate has the Crescent Blade, Hussein also has his own weapon, which is magic.

Phoebe guessed right, Hussein tried to use a large number of low-quality magicians in exchange for a temporary victory, but he did not stop studying magic, and as the god who created "magic", the magic he knew It can be said that what the magicians encountered before Bihe Carter learned is not a concept at all.

The light magic does not change the nature of the power of faith. The power of faith in the light god is a kind of peaceful force. As long as it is used correctly, it can achieve the effect of healing and restoration. A large part of the light magic It is also related to this. A long time ago, the divine art of light was directly regarded as a "healing art".If it hadn't been for the Holy Church of Wilton to apply the divine magic of light to frontal battles, then it might take another 1000 years for it to evolve a divine spell purely for combat.

At the beginning, the Holy Church of Wilton first proposed that some divine spells could have buff effects other than healing on the battlefield. After realizing that the people didn't seem to be particularly sensitive to this, they simply crossed the red line and began to specialize in the development of The divine art to fight.

The Church of Light at that time really overestimated the power of human beings to control divine arts, and in the end they only "modified" some of the original divine arts to make them more applicable to the battlefield.

Hecate can use the power of faith to attack because her power of faith itself is very pure, unlike the power of faith of the God of Light, which is biased from the beginning.The power of pure faith can be used for many things, and Hecate chose to use it to defeat the enemy and ensure his own survival.

And Hussein is probably an exception among all the gods born so far.

His power is completely contrary to the God of Light, but a large part of it is based on the God of Light, so he has completely gone to the other extreme opposite to the God of Light: Hussein's power of faith has changed from one to the other. It was aggressive and destructive from the start.

But at the beginning, Hussein didn't know this. He thought that his power of faith, like the God of Light, could not be directly used as an attack, so he naturally thought of transformation, transforming the power of faith into fire and water , into something that can do harm to man and help him win the war.

This is how magic is born.

But Hussein is not the only one who has crossed the threshold of the gods, Hecate's strength has also been raised to a level that she never dared to imagine before, and the strength of the crescent blade has once again exceeded her imagination—— — After a head-on collision with Hussein's fireball, the scimitar remained in its usual state.

Hecate simply let go of his hand and poured the power of faith into it without limit.

As the power of faith collided again and again, cracks appeared on the ground and walls of the hall, and these cracks were slowly spreading towards the ceiling.Hecate wanted to move Raymond's body to a safe place as well, but she was already struggling to protect herself and couldn't get away to do it.

Not only the sacrificed Raymond, but also those soldiers and ministers who stood up to the last moment for the Nord Kingdom are still being imprisoned in the dungeon under the Castle of Frost City. If something really goes wrong with the castle, they may even escape There is no chance of coming out.

"Hecate, don't tell me you're worried about those people in the dungeon. Do you really think they're still alive? Where do you think my cocoon is drawing power from?" Hussain licked his lips maliciously , "I ate a lot of delicious souls."

From beginning to end, Hecate and Hussein did not cause any substantial damage to each other.They all have the speed to avoid the opponent's attack, and as long as they stay focused, they will not hurt themselves. Most of the time, this battle is just a simple collision of the power of faith.

Neither of the two newcomers to the throne of gods yet understand the fine manipulation of the power of faith, so in this battle, the power of faith was consumed faster than before they became gods, and the impact it brought was also greater than they expected. When both Hussein and Hecate realized this, the Frost-Covered Castle that had stood for nearly a thousand years was already riddled with holes and crumbling.

Selene rode towards the castle on the back of a pegasus. She could see from a distance that the structure of Frost-Covered Castle was completely destroyed inside. Now even if there was a gust of wind, the castle would completely collapse.

What's more, there are two gods continuing their fierce battle.

Selene's guess was correct. Before she had time to get close to the Frosted Castle, the successive collisions of the power of faith caused the fragile castle to fall completely.

No one was buried among the collapsed ruins.After the dust cleared, Selene clearly saw the figures of Hussain and Hecate, who apparently managed to escape from the castle before it collapsed.

It seems that the result of this battle is a lose-lose situation for both sides. Both of them stood reluctantly, and the power of faith around them was only a little invisible twilight. Hecate supported his body with the crescent blade, and Hussein Clenching a black shard.

Hussain seemed to have regained his strength a little bit from the only fragments of the cocoon left. He staggered a few steps, and as he chanted the mantra, a black shadow appeared out of nowhere in front of him. He walked here In the middle of the black shadow, and then disappeared together with the dissipation of the black shadow.

"Hecate!" Selene finally ran to the foot of the ruins of the castle, hugged Hecate who was about to fall to the ground, and patted her on the back lightly, "It's okay, it's okay..."

"Frosted City..." Hecate leaned on her shoulder and muttered weakly.

"We can build another castle. A new one is better than an old one, that's what the Northlanders think."

Absorbing a new soul in a state of haste, and immediately going through a new battle, Hecate was exhausted and sat on the horse with the help of Selene, and then fell into a deep sleep relieved.

She was truly in a world that Selene would never be able to understand, but for now at least Selene knew she definitely needed a break.

Hecate is now standing in his kingdom of God.The Kingdom of God itself did not suffer any damage, but fatigue and haste prevented the soul fragments from being integrated. If the balance was not maintained as soon as possible, the Kingdom of God would collapse like a frost-covered castle.

After going through the battle just now, Hecate has a sense of urgency that makes her have to work harder. She and Hussein are currently on the same level. Hussein throws away the distance, and the winning rate will be even smaller.

Hecate cannot lose.

The purity of the power of faith has helped her a lot. Purity itself means stability. In addition, her accumulation before crossing the threshold is deep enough. It didn't take her much effort to bring the Kingdom of God back to the state before the battle. Sayin will probably spend a long time on this matter, after all distortion is one of the characteristics of his power of faith.

Hecate didn't let herself wake up immediately, she stood in place, collected the power of faith left in the corner, and built a similar castle in the frost-covered city in her dream.Just like the God of Light left a place for the Holy Maiden of Light in his kingdom of God, she wanted to leave this place for Selene.

When she opened her eyes, she saw thousands of stars above the Frost City.

After all that has happened, the night sky is still still and the stars are still shining, but the Frostcovered City is a ghost city, and the troops are temporarily stationed in the open space around the castle, and Hecate heard some of them say goodbye to their comrades in arms in foreign countries , and some were talking about what they were going to do when they went back, and some were sitting alone in the corner, drinking the last bit of mead in the jug.

Roy didn't dare to act rashly. He sat next to a few Talisians, wondering if he had discussed with Selene how he should stay.Hecate could see the sadness he couldn't hide. After all, the loyal minister who had assisted him for many years died today.

Selene was not far away, directing a group of people to dig up the ruins of the castle. Hecate got up from the blanket and walked over, seeing a hand exposed where they were digging.

It was Raymond's body.

"Selene."

Selene turned around and saw Hecate, and subconsciously helped her: "Are you okay?"

Hecate shook his head and put his arms around Selene.

They all know that for them, all this is far from over.
