Forbidden Nightmare

Chapter 76 Fair Trial
In an instant, the knight armor on Li Nanke's body suddenly changed, and the "power protective armor" made of high-strength alloy appeared.

The azure propulsion flame gushed out from behind him, bringing powerful thrust, while his feet exerted force to push the ground diagonally.

"boom!"

The barb of the war hammer whizzed past his eyes, only a palm's distance from his nose. The strong wind brought by the war hammer was enough to hurt his cheek.

"What kind of prayer armor is this?"

Fariano's eyes were bloodthirsty and ferocious, and his originally fatal blow was dodged, so he failed to quickly deal with this annoying knight.

The sturdy arm holding the war hammer was about to attack again, but a wolf-headed sword burning with blazing flames came slashing from the side.

Fariano sneered, turned around and struck out with a hammer backhand!
Even someone as powerful as Renault did not dare to confront this violent and ferocious hammer head-on.

Renault dodged his sword, and the greatsword avoided the whistling hammer head and slashed towards the pair of sturdy hands along the hammer handle.

Sparks flew and the blood-red gauntlet was torn apart, but there was no time to add another sword to expand the victory because the fierce hammer attack came again!

Renault could only deal with Fariano with his nimble steps. Although he could occasionally hit the enemy, the armor was extremely strong. After breaking the armor, the sword was powerless and could not cause much damage to the enemy.

Renault himself, on the other hand, was so tense that he dared not make the slightest mistake. The enemy could make many mistakes, but as long as he was hit once, even if he did not die, he would definitely be seriously injured and lose his combat effectiveness.

The punitive soldiers who were watching from afar saw Renault's predicament. If the battle continued like this, it would only be a matter of time before Renault was defeated and died tragically.

Suddenly, the punitive soldiers in the distance cried out in surprise.

Fariano, who was fighting fiercely, heard a buzzing sound in the distance, and the sound was getting louder and louder.

He turned his head suddenly and saw Li Nanke standing far away, carrying a strange cylinder on his shoulder, which was filled with dazzling light.

Fariano knew that the other party was definitely up to no good, and was about to pounce on him, but was stopped by Renault at the risk of his life.

"Hey! Big fool!"

Fariano became furious and turned around to glare at Li Nanke.

As a result, people didn't see it, but instead saw a dazzling light!
The surging light occupied all vision, the scorching light instantly burned the metal helmet red, and some lasers violently poured in through the two eye holes!

"my eyes!"

Fariano's miserable howls echoed throughout the bridge, causing many punitive soldiers to feel inexplicably excited. Seeing this scene, they felt unbearable pain in their eyes just thinking about it.

As the linear laser beam burst out, Fariano's eyes exploded and he fell to the ground wailing and roaring in pain, covering his eyes with one hand and holding a sledgehammer in front of him with the other.

The muzzle of the cannon on Li Nanke's shoulder was always pointed at Fariano. Seeing that he was blocking his way with his weapon, he slightly adjusted the direction of the muzzle. The laser beam left a hot mark on the bright red armor and went straight to the enemy's lower body.

Even though the bright red armor had been blessed by various prayers, it could not last long under the ultra-high temperature laser. The metal turned into red liquid, entangled with the flesh and blood of the lower body, sizzling and smoking with a burnt smell.

Should I insure the upper or the lower, the bigger or the smaller?
Fariano was in so much pain that he couldn't think at all. He just hit the place where it hurt.

The punitive soldiers suddenly felt that the pain of having their eyes exploded didn't seem to be so severe anymore. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but cover their lower body just thinking about it.

"Reno!"

Even without Li Nanke's reminder, Renault would naturally not miss such a great opportunity!
If we don't seize the perfect opportunity to kill now, it will be difficult to deal with later.

Because all the punished soldiers have the "Mark of Refuge", as long as the injuries are not fatal, they can be gradually transferred to the Lady of Eternal Pain, allowing her to quickly recover from her own injuries.

Although injuries such as severed limbs and mutilated organs can only heal the wounds, they cannot replace the lost limbs or organs.

However, the higher the level of the "Sanctuary Mark" the more senior the officer, the faster the recovery from injuries for a legion commander like Fariano is unbelievable.

Renault uttered the syllables of prayer, and the flaming wolf-head sword in his hand suddenly turned into a giant flaming sword. In an instant, majestic flames swept across, and the sword body slashed down with a waterfall of flames!

The crimson flames were like beautiful silk or a surging waterfall, falling from the sky and heading straight for Fariano's head!

Renault once again used the battle prayer, which was also his signature move, 'Fire Falls'.

At this moment, the laser beam had just gone out, but Fariano's hammer was still blocking it.

In the distance, Archbishop Colonna, who was surrounded by soldiers, had a gloomy look in his eyes. He silently recited a syllable and placed his scepter on the ground without any expression.

He actually used spells and prayers to secretly interfere with the trial!

Renault's body suddenly shook, his face changed suddenly and he gritted his teeth, as if he was in great pain. The giant flaming sword in his hand tilted and slashed uncontrollably.

"Boom!" Gravel flew everywhere and the entire Bridge of Judgment was shaking.

Even the extremely solid bridge deck was cracked deeply and covered with scorch marks by this sword.

The crack created by the giant sword was just a palm's distance above Fariano's head, and only a little residual flame burned Fariano.

"Colonna! This is what you call a fair trial?!"

Renault roared loudly with red eyes and quickly swung out another sword. Fariano, who was seriously injured, heard the sound and swung the sword away with a hammer, then rushed forward and wrestled with Renault.

Fariano's eyes exploded and his lower body was a bloody mess. He could only pounce on Renault and fight him in close combat, otherwise he would be defeated in a few rounds as he was blind.

Li Nanke turned his head suddenly and looked at Archbishop Colonna who was guarded by many soldiers.

The archbishop smiled and shrugged, indicating that he had done nothing.

However, many of the Punishment Army soldiers figured out what was going on.

Just now, Fariano was lying on the ground wailing. He was almost a living target under Renault's fatal sword. If Renault could not even deflect his sword, how could he be an instructor and guide the soldiers in swordsmanship?

Not to mention Renault, if it was any other soldier, without the influence of external force, the sword would not have been deflected.

But Renault, the master of swordsmanship, just missed the target. What other reason could there be other than some external force affecting the fairness of the trial?

The soldiers of the Punishment Army looked at the Archbishop with complicated eyes, and then looked away immediately after just a glance.

Archbishop Colonna felt the strange looks from the soldiers, and the smile on his face faded, his face becoming expressionless and stern.

A fierce light flashed in Li Nanke's eyes, and he was determined to remember this grudge.

Fariano took advantage of the opportunity to engage in a close fight, even dropping his war hammer. The two men rolled into a ball, and Renault soon fell into a disadvantage as he was far superior to his enemy in terms of strength.

Fariano's injuries were healing quickly. He stared at the two bloody holes on his face, roared angrily, and tightly clamped Renault with both arms. He exerted force with his strong arms, and Renault in his arms suddenly had crackling bones all over his body and his face turned the color of liver.

Li Nanke knew that the enemy must be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise if Colonna could influence the trial once, he would be able to influence it a second time.

When the referee is helping your opponent, you can't use conventional methods to win!

He strode forward with his chainsword in hand, the thorns on the hilt piercing his palm and the serrated edge slashing at the back of Fariano's head.

Although Fariano couldn't see, he could still clearly hear the strong wind behind his head and the sharp sound of the sawtooth rotation.

He immediately let go of Renault and rolled on the ground towards the original location of the sledgehammer weapon.

Renault had many broken bones and his body was a little soft. He managed to hold on and not fall down.

Without saying a word, Li Nanke slapped the "Refuge Mark Talisman" on Renault. The talisman turned into stars and merged into Renault's body, helping him to quickly transfer his injuries.

Seeing that Fariano was about to touch the weapon, how could Li Nanke let him succeed so easily?
A blaster rifle appeared in his left hand, and the shock beam turned into a snow-white air wave, causing Fariano's body to stiffen slightly.

Li Nanke strode forward and swung his sword to repel the enemy, preventing them from getting close to his weapon.

The power of his sword swing is far less than that of Renault. Even if Renault wants to cause effective damage to Fariano, he has to first cut the armor and break the defense with a sword before he can swing the sword again to cause damage along the crack just made.

The reason why Li Nanke was able to defeat Fariano was because he focused on attacking the enemy's lower three routes.

The armor on Fariano's lower body had been melted by the laser long ago, which was an undefended and vulnerable area. Where else could he cut if not here?
"You are mean!"

"Not as mean as your archbishop."

Fariano ignored Li Nanke's attack and rushed towards him with a roar.

The spinning teeth of the chainsword multiply the weapon's power, but the piercing buzzing sound is Fariano's best guiding light.

By hearing the whistling sound of the saw teeth, you can roughly determine where the chainsaw sword is coming from and the enemy's current position.

Facing Fariano's charge, Li Nanke did not put away the chainsaw sword, nor did he stop the saw teeth from turning. Instead, he used all his strength to activate the "armed" trait, making the whistling sound of the saw teeth even stronger.

The enemy rushed over following the scream, and Li Nanke turned and ran, with the propulsion device behind the armor at full power.

While running, he pulled out a long military belt buckle and put it on the hilt of the sword and fastened it.

In just a few breaths, he had already run to the side of the Bridge of Judgment. Under the half-man-high stone fence beside the bridge was a bottomless abyss where the wind was howling!
