Holy Knight

"Perhaps not!" 

Jiang Han shook his head, raising his voice, "Can the priest attempt to heal Daniel?"

From various perspectives, the official stance of "Eternal" has always been to blur the boundaries between NPCs and adventurers.

Maybe, the healing of adventurers could also be effective against the indigenous inhabitants.

"No!"

Daniel quickly raised his hand to refuse.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."

However, before Jiang Han could speak, several healing spells had already fallen on Daniel, and there was no time to stop them.

MISS!

-1!

-1!

...

As a result, the so-called healing spells not only had no curative effect but instead caused damage.

Jiang Han: "..."

It seems that light elemental skills do harm to undead, which is indeed a reasonable setting.

"Are you trying to kill your mentor?"

Encountering such a good disciple, Daniel was extremely moved.

"Cough, cough!"

Hastily stopping the attacks, Jiang Han awkwardly coughed a few times and said, "My mistake."

In this situation, he really hadn't considered it.

After ingesting a potion, Daniel recovered, "Your idea is good, but with Brandi killing so many skeletal soldiers, how can the two legions outside the city resist?"

It should be noted that the attackers are not only Jennifer and Brandi, but also the Ice Legion and Flame Legion they lead. The soldiers of these two legions are already higher in level than the defending side, and their only advantage is in numbers.

"Maybe you're right."

For a moment, Jiang Han's emotions were chaotic, unable to think of a solution. Helplessly, he said, "Taking one step at a time is better than not taking any steps at all. After all, if you die, we are bound to lose without a doubt. If you live, we still have a chance."

Daniel must stay alive!

This was his personal desire and the key to turning the tide of the battle.

Even with numerous attacking NPCs, Daniel alone could withstand tremendous pressure, just like Brandi instantly killing skeletal soldiers to deal with those incoming NPCs.

"There has never been a chance." Daniel looked at the mighty Brandi without any fluctuation in his gaze. "Dark City, the guys from the Bright Camp are determined to win!"

"!!"

Hearing this, Jiang Han's heart skipped a beat.

What does that mean?

Could it be... there's another wave?

"The cowardly undead mage, how long do you want to cling to life?" Brandi aggressively attacked, flames covering the surroundings. The skeletal soldiers approaching directly melted into a pile of ashes, a cruel scene.

"Well, let's end my part in this play for now, but..."

Daniel exhaled, saying coldly, "Brandi hates you so much. If spared, it would be a huge trouble for you. Indeed, he must die."

Saying that, he raised his staff, chanting words.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, thunder roared.

Thick and heavy dark clouds covered the sun, turning the bright day into a dark and gloomy scene, as if a divine punishment was about to unfold.

Looking up at the sudden change in weather, Jiang Han felt a vague sense of unease. Looking at Daniel, who was chanting obscure incantations with closed eyes, he asked with difficulty, "Tutor, who are you really?"

A moment ago, Daniel was on the verge of death under Brandi's attack!

Now, he seemed like a different person!

"Swoosh!"

A black pillar of energy appeared in the sky, shattering the surrounding dark clouds.

In the next moment, that black pillar extended straight down, accurately piercing Daniel's body in the raging wind, causing a shockwave that made the towering Dark City tremble.

The nearest Jiang Han to Daniel's position, on the contrary, did not suffer any harm. A black, semi-transparent semicircle shield firmly protected him.

Brandi's arrogant demeanor was gone, and he, sensing the strange aura, was horrified, "What... what is this?"

That aura was too domineering, completely different from the Daniel just now!

"Ding!~"

System prompt: Undead Mage Daniel receives unknown protection, all attributes increased by 10,000%, lasting for ten seconds!

A hundredfold increase in all attributes!

Seeing the system prompt, Jiang Han's heart surged with waves of shock, unsure of what expression to make.

"You've worked really hard."

Daniel, within the black pillar of light, slowly approached Jiang Han and patted him on the shoulder as usual. "No need for sorrow. I've said that if you live long enough, we'll meet again. At that time... you'll know who I am."

After speaking, he raised his staff, pointing it at Brandi.

"Swoosh!"

A faint black shot out.

"No—"

Brandi's face was full of despair, but under the pressure, he couldn't even lift his feet.

-38,578,411!

Naturally, a one-hit kill, as this was damage that Brandi would never be able to withstand even if he were at full health and state.

Ten seconds later, the protection Daniel received disappeared.

"Ding!~"

System prompt: Due to unknown reasons, Undead Mage Daniel's attributes decrease by 10,000%!

His face turned pale, almost fainting, and his whole body slumped. Kneeling on one knee, he leaned on the staff to support himself and reminded, "Hurry, leave now, or it'll be too late."

"Tsk, tsk..."

However, before Jiang Han could take any action, a man in white armor leaped down from above the city gate, walked to Daniel and Jiang Han as if taking a leisurely stroll, and exclaimed, "The last move of the city lord just now was too powerful. Can I also be this powerful in the future?"

...

White light rose everywhere.

Countless players logged out, completely giving up on defending the city.

Plot-hidden boss?

Jiang Han felt bitter in his heart, using the Insightful Eye to check, still getting a screen full of question marks, indicating that the other party was not a character that should appear at this stage.

Obviously, this time it was a thorough plot kill.

"The Dark Swordsman plus the Undead Mage, it looks like I'm going to make a fortune." Herbert smiled, well aware of the wealth that these two heads could bring.

Daniel was weak, as if he could hardly lift his eyelids, "What does the Bright Church want with the remains of the Undead Mage is well known to everyone, and you will surely face great difficulties in the future!"

"You don't need to worry about that."

Herbert wouldn't care about the enemy's threats. He raised his hand, and a silver spear emitting light appeared, held in his grip.

"Swoosh!"

The next moment, he lifted the silver spear, pointing it at Jiang Han in a condescending manner.

The tip of the spear almost touched the pupils.

"You, young man, are loyal and righteous. I quite appreciate it. Unfortunately, you chose the wrong camp. Leave your last words before dying, as this is my final kindness to you."
