Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 148 Piercing the darkness!

Bai Shi watched with interest as the Night Cavalry blew the dark horn.

Although I have never seen this prop, I can roughly guess what it is used for.

Obviously, this is a way for them to communicate with each other.

That is, it is an item used to summon other Night Cavalry around.

Bai Shi did not interrupt them, but drank a bottle of blue dew drops from the Holy Grail bottle after a long time to replenish his magic power.

As the number of holy grails increased, the dew drops became sweeter and sweeter, making Bai Shi feel a little uncomfortable drinking it.

It's not a bad thing for the Night Riders to gather together.

It would be better to say that Bai Shi hoped that they would come together so that it would be easier for him to catch them all in one fell swoop.

Like to use your numbers to bully the few?

I will show you what perseverance means later.

However, Bai Shi did not just stand there stupidly. He took this opportunity to command the group of Faded Ones to find a safe place to stay.

Because he didn't know which direction the Night Riders would come from, Bai Shi didn't let them out of his sight.

Although I may not be able to take care of it when the battle starts.

It is always easier to survive if you find a place to hide.

These faded ones gathered together with their backs against the rocks, at least preventing attacks from one direction.

Night fell and darkness completely enveloped Nimgfu.

The leaves were blown by the breeze, making a rustling sound.

The faint sound of horse hooves gradually came from all directions, and at the same time, there was the sound of armor rubbing against each other.

In the quiet night, these faint movements are disturbingly clear.

The calm before the storm made the noises even more harsh.

The Faded Ones gripped their weapons tightly, trying to give themselves a slight sense of security.

As the Faded Ones waited anxiously, the sound of the Night Riders' hooves became clearer and clearer.

No longer hiding their tracks or caring about the sound, the Night Cavalry rushed over at full speed.

The sound of horse hooves gradually became more and more thrilling, as if even the earth was shaking and striking at their hearts.

The first squad of Night Cavalry appeared from the distant mountains and forests, followed by another, and another...

The pitch-black armor swallowed up all the faint light.

The Faded Ones didn't want to look at the terrifying enemy, but their gazes seemed to be sucked into them, unable to escape.

Although the distance was far, the pressure that the Night Riders brought to these Faded Ones was like a heavy rain that was gradually coming, getting heavier and heavier.

A feeling of fear permeated among this group of faded ones.

They felt deep fear and despair. Their hearts seemed to be struggling to jump out of their chests, unwilling to bear this fear. Their blood became cold and numb because of despair.

As a five-man squad of Night Cavalry passed over the rocks above the Faded Ones' heads, the Faded Ones could even clearly smell the bloody odor of the recent killings on them.

The Night Riders are nightmares that roam the battlefield, chasing after fear.

He is the god of death for soldiers, knights, and heroes.

Upon seeing them, the courage of these Faded Ones was completely drowned in the darkness.

But in the darkness, Bai Shi stood firm, allowing the momentum of the Night Cavalry to wash over him. He did not retreat at all, but instead was full of fighting spirit.

The Night Cavalry troops were assembled and stood in various locations, staring at the White Consciousness at the center of the encirclement from afar.

Bai Shi looked around and saw that there were quite a few Night Cavalrymen around.

I estimate there are at least forty or fifty people, which should be the only remaining night cavalry on Nimgefu.

Although he was surrounded, Bai Shi did not feel any nervousness.

Bai Shi even had time to estimate the number of runes these Night Riders could bring him.

A Night Cavalry unit has about 7,000 soldiers, and there are 40 to 50 of them here...

Wind Spirit Moon Shadow, 5 times the number of runes, activated!

'Ding'

5x Rune acquisition rate (60 minutes remaining).

Bai Shi decided to kill all these Night Cavalry.

Now, he surrounded all the Night Cavalry alone.

The night was still so silent, and the Night Riders had no unnecessary communication or exchanges.

They just stood here, silently waiting for orders or an opportunity to attack.

A tall night cavalryman appeared from a distance.

This Night Rider is unique and his size is much larger than other Night Riders.

With the funeral horse under his crotch, which was also a size larger, he was half a body taller than the surrounding night cavalry.

Although it was quite far away, Bai Shi could still see the twisted, ominous horns growing out of his helmet.

He was not holding a standard halberd or flail, but a giant hammer with an iron ball tied to the back end with an iron chain.

This ominous night trooper seemed to be their commander.

As he raised his hammer and spear high, pointing it at Bai Shi, the Night Cavalry also raised their weapons and began to charge.

Bai Shi stood where he was, feeling the earth shaking as the Night Riders charged together.

He didn't want to laugh, but he couldn't stop the corners of his mouth from rising.

This was exactly the battlefield he longed for.

A little more, a little more doesn’t matter.

No matter how many people there are, he will be here until they are all wiped out.

Bai Shi raised his sword and spear high, and orange-yellow lightning struck from the sky, followed by a deafening roar of thunder.

Lightning wrapped around the sword and spear, reflecting Bai Shi's fanatical face in the darkness.

The thunder tore apart the quiet night and officially opened the curtain of the battle.

Looking at the Night Cavalry charging towards him, Bai Shi held the sword and spear in both hands, and then slashed forward heavily.

The powerful lightning from the Lightning Slash struck one of the Night Cavalrymen heavily, charring him black, and the wind blade then tore apart his half-carbonized body.

The other Night Cavalry did not stop for a moment, and continued to charge towards Bai Shi, passing over the bodies of their companions.

Bai Shi also knew that it was impossible to stop their attack so easily.

Then he swept the sword and spear across, creating a storm wave of lightning.

This time, the storm waves actually hindered the charge momentum of the Night Cavalry in front of them.

They were attacked along with the funeral horses under their crotch, making it difficult for them to move, but even so, they still withstood the attack and continued to charge forward.

But inevitably, the momentum of the charge was interrupted and forced to slow down.

However, it is not only the front where the Night Cavalry are attacking.

Behind Bai Shi, the other two Night Cavalry had already approached Bai Shi due to the distance.

The funeral horses ridden by the two Night Cavalrymen were extremely fast, and Bai Shi had already entered their attack range.

What they held in their hands were not halberds or flails, but exaggeratedly long lances used exclusively by cavalry.

Two Night Cavalrymen thrust their lances towards Bai Shi from the left and right.

A grey phantom also appeared beside each of them, helping them to block Bai Shi's evasive position and attack together.

However, Bai Shi does not need to hide.

He brandished the sword and spear around him, spinning them to easily deflect the attacks of the Night Cavalry.

At the same time, the howling storms and air blades also left fatal injuries on them.

The two Night Riders were not completely dead yet. With their last breath, they threw out chains from their sides and tried to wrap them around Bai Shi.

However, a storm suddenly arose, completely destroying their lives and also extinguishing their last hopes.

The bodies of the two men and two horses fell beside Bai Shi due to the residual force of the charge.

They were the first two to arrive beside Bai Shi, but they would definitely not be the last two.

In just a short while, the rest of the Night Cavalry also came to Bai Shi's side.

Dash left and right, strike away with one strike, and try not to give Baizhi any chance to attack.

Even if they attack from opposite directions, the Night Cavalry will not interfere with each other's trajectory after the attack.

The cavalry often formed formations and launched charges.

It is rare for a person to be besieged from all sides like this.

But the Night Riders are proficient in this. Not only can a few small teams carry out such attacks, but even a large army of so many people are very skilled in the tactics of besieging one person in this way.

It seems that during their normal training, they have conducted countless training sessions facing imaginary enemies with extremely strong individual strength.

The night cavalrymen attacked the white consciousness back and forth like a tide.

However, the White Consciousness also took advantage of the brief moments of the confrontation to reap the lives of these Night Riders, and the Night Riders died one after another.

Pierced by swords and spears, severed by slashes, torn apart by storms...

No matter how hard they charged back and forth, Bai Shi always stood there like a reef, not moving a single step because of their attacks.

On the contrary, the bodies of the Night Riders and funeral horses in various states of death were piled up on the ground around him.

What they got in exchange for their lives were bloody wounds on Bai Shi's body.

Although Bai Shi is much stronger than the Night Riders, he has not yet reached another level in terms of strength.

Even when attacked by the Night Riders, the armor will still be penetrated.

During the interval between Bai Shi's attacks, he wiped away the blood from the wound on his side.

The slippery blood flowing through his body for the first time in a long time made him feel a little dazed.

Come to think of it, it really seems like I haven't been injured for a long time.

The halberd scratched two long wounds on the outside of his right leg, and his left arm was also cut. The iron ball on the flail hit his left leg and back, and the iron spikes pierced through the armor and pierced into the flesh.

This was also due to the "corruption" effect brought about by the Radagon's Corrosive Mark, which made the injury even more serious.

Although for Bai Shi’s current consciousness, these are not serious injuries.

However, it was also the first time in a long time that Bai Shi experienced the feeling of pain.

The Night Cavalry were indeed powerful. If they gathered their troops and charged on the battlefield, any infantry formation would probably be dispersed and the battlefield would be divided up by them at will.

When facing a single, powerful enemy, cooperating with each other and staggered attacks can also restrain and consume the opponent.

I'm afraid that if it weren't for those powerful demigods who possessed the Great Rune (except Greg), ordinary demigods would have been killed by their siege.

Bai Shi now felt sorry for these Night Cavalrymen. They were powerful and loyal, but it was a pity that they were his enemies, so they were about to die here.

The ominous night cavalryman who had been standing on the hillside giving orders was secretly surprised at the current situation.

According to what their Night Cavalry had been rehearsing, they had assumed that Greg, the weakest demigod with the Great Rune, would be the enemy and that he would definitely not be able to survive under such an attack.

Should we say that he is worthy of being the one who defeated Greg? Storm King Baishi has not suffered a serious blow yet.

There are still about thirty Night Cavalry left on the field. Considering the injuries they have caused to Bai Shi, it would be extremely difficult to take him down.

However, the blood shed by Bai Shi also allowed them to see the dawn of victory.

Bai Shi is not invincible. Although he is powerful, he is not strong enough to make them despair. He should still be weaker than Lord Markit.

They had all personally experienced the terrifying power of Lord Markit, a terrifying existence that caused rivers of blood to flow among the heroes.

Now, we are consuming Bai Shi's strength bit by bit, aggravating his injuries, so we will have a chance to drag him down next time.

Now that Bai Shi is injured, they have more room to maneuver with their superior mobility, making it easier to take him down.

If they rush forward together, they will surely be able to take down Bai Shi. Absolutely, they can do it easily!

The Son of Evil Omen, who was the leader of the Night Cavalry, also gave up his command and urged the giant funeral horse under his crotch to gallop towards Bai Shi.

With fewer people, there is no need for command and there will be no clashes among our own people.

As the giant horse charged, the sound of heavy horse hooves like thunder rang out all the way, and he joined the battle with surging momentum.

After approaching Bai Shi, the ominous night cavalryman swung the iron chain behind the huge hammer spear in his hand and smashed the iron ball with spikes on it towards Bai Shi.

The nearby Night Riders immediately rushed to disrupt the White Consciousness without regard for their own safety.

Bai Shi brandished his sword and spear, taking the lives of the two Night Cavalrymen, and then surrounded his body with a fierce storm to block the next iron ball.

The heavy iron ball broke through the storm's defense. Although its trajectory was deviated, its heavy weight still caused it to hit Bai Shi.

Bai Shi's shoulder was hit, the dragon scales were broken, and the spikes penetrated deeply into the flesh.

The Ominous Night Cavalry swung the chain again, dragging the iron ball off Bai Shi's body, revealing the blurry flesh and blood underneath.

Seeing that the attack was effective, he was overjoyed. Bai Shi seemed to no longer be as comfortable as he looked.

As the distance shortened again, he raised his hammer high, ready to severely injure Bai Shi with this heavy weapon.

It wasn't until he met Bai Shi's eyes that he realized something was wrong.

Because he saw a bloodthirsty smile on Bai Shi's face.

'It's like a wild animal.'

He shuddered for no reason.

But having already charged this far, there was no way he would be scared off by just one expression.

The hammer and spear smashed down, but this heavy blow, which came with the momentum of the charge, was easily blocked by Bai Shi's sword and spear.

Then, the ominous night trooper felt the force coming through the weapon becoming stronger and heavier.

It even held him back along with the giant horse under his crotch. Even though the horse's hooves dug up the dirt and made the ground fly, it couldn't move forward an inch.

He watched helplessly as Bai Shi's figure continued to grow taller and taller. He became gigantic and when he stood on the ground he was at eye level with him as he rode the giant horse.

No, Bai Shi's body was still growing, and soon he needed to raise his head and look upwards slightly.

Not only the body size, but also the armor and weapons are enlarged.

The lightning surged over the sword and spear again, washing away the blood stains and scratches, making them look brand new.

The Ominous Night Cavalry immediately changed the direction of their giant horses and ran to the side.

Before leaving, he tied Bai Shi's calf with an iron chain, trying to trip him.

However, as the giant horse ran for a distance, the chain suddenly tightened, and Bai Shi was not dragged away. Instead, he was pulled off the horse under the influence of the reaction force.

Bai Shi pushed back with force, and the ominous Night Cavalryman was immediately pulled over and lay on his back in front of Bai Shi.

The ominous night cavalryman lay on the ground, looking up at the figure standing there like a white god of war. He felt fear for the first time in a long time and even lost his mind for a moment.

Bai Shi raised his sword and spear high and chopped it down heavily, and then a rider of the Night Cavalry who came to block this evil omen was cleanly split in half, including the horse and the rider.

The blood, flesh and internal organs of his comrades poured down on him, waking him up. He quickly got up and cut the connection between the hammer and the chain.

This ominous night cavalryman was quite tall, nearly three meters tall when standing up, but he was still not enough to be seen in front of Bai Shi.

He swallowed his saliva. After such a long and fierce battle, did the Storm King still have some strength left? !
Recalling Bai Shi's previous performance, he was shocked to realize that maybe Bai Shi was just pretending to give them a little hope so that they would not run away at the beginning.

How arrogant, how powerful.

The Night Rider's title of the God of Death became so ridiculous at this moment that he became the object of ridicule.

He raised his hammer high and roared towards the sky, and yellow and black flames burned his entire body.

He roared and rushed towards Bai Shi.

Bai Shi also strode forward, swords, spears, hammers and lances collided, thunder and fire intersected, and they consumed each other's existence.

Suddenly, a large number of cursed souls appeared from the side of the evil omen night cavalry and attacked Bai Shi from all directions.

Bai Shi tried to use the storm to disperse them, but it was ineffective. Those cursed souls seemed to have no substance and passed straight through the storm.

Seeing this, Bai Shi frowned.

He swung his sword vigorously to push back the ominous night cavalryman, then retreated a few steps.

Because he didn't know what these cursed souls were, he didn't plan to just take them head-on.

A Night Rider swung his halberd and struck Bai Shi from behind.

However, the sword blade that pierced through the armor only left a shallow wound on Bai Shi's body.

Bai Shi's physical strength was further enhanced by the Great Rune, so such injuries were now only skin breaks.

Bai Shi simply grabbed the Night Cavalry and smashed him towards the Cursed Soul floating in the air.

Those cursed souls came into contact with the body of the Night Cavalry in mid-air and greedily poured into it. With a scream, the Night Cavalry began to be covered in yellow and black flames from the inside out. He was burned to charcoal and died instantly.

"All of you run to the outside, don't get caught!"

"I'll hold him back by myself!"

"Before I die, escape to a safe place and tell Lord Markit everything that happened here!"

But not all of the Night Riders obeyed his orders. Among the remaining twenty or so Night Riders, half of them stood by his side.

The remaining ones were also unwilling to leave, but after being reprimanded again, they fled in all directions.

The funeral horses of the Ominous Night Cavalry also ran over and asked their masters to ride on them again.

Looking at these guys who didn't obey orders, he didn't say anything, but just rode the funeral horse again.

The Night Riders are brothers and sisters, sharing honor and disgrace.

Now it was time for them to live and die together.

"charge!"

The Night Riders launched one final charge towards their insurmountable foe.

Bai Shi held his sword and spear in hand and strode forward towards the charge of these Night Cavalry.

Bai Shi's biggest target was the Son of Evil Omen who led the other Night Cavalry. The swords and spears in his hands clashed with the hammers and spears burning with yellow and black flames.

One person was not enough, as the other Night Cavalrymen came forward with their halberds, flails, and phantoms.

The swords collided, and the Night Cavalrymen who were trying to block the swords and spears were immediately thrown off their horses by Bai Shi.

The other Night Cavalry who passed by Bai Shi threw chains on Bai Shi, trying to restrict his movements.

However, Bai Shi grabbed the chain and easily threw those Night Riders away like toys.

The hammer spear came heavily towards Bai Shi, but Bai Shi just dodged casually and got away.

Then he stepped heavily on the flaming hammer, making it impossible for him to lift the weapon.

With a swing of the sword and spear, the head with the ominous horns was chopped off by Bai Shi.

Seeing this, the Night Cavalry who had previously crossed the White Consciousness changed direction and charged again.

Even death doesn't matter. As long as we can delay him a little longer, the chances of others sending out the information will be greater.

But even at the cost of their lives, the gap in strength is still difficult to cross.

After just two or three encounters, these Night Cavalry were easily dealt with by Bai Shi.

The Night Riders, who were only breathing their last breath, lay on the ground, estimating the time. They thought that the others should have escaped to a safe enough place by now.

They believed that as long as the information was passed on, Lord Markit would be able to defeat Bai Shi easily after he had a better understanding of him.

However, their beautiful dreams in the last moments of their lives could not be realized.

At the end of the sight, the Crucible Knights appeared, carrying corpses that were pierced by arrows and looked like hedgehogs.

The corpse naturally belonged to the Night Riders.

Behind them were a large number of Silver Knights and Storm Knights wearing silver-white armor.

They were not the only ones who would call for help. Bai Shi had fought with the Night Cavalry once before, so he had some understanding of what they would do.

In this case, it is impossible to let them escape and pass on the information.

Therefore, Bai Shi also gathered the forces in the city in advance and surrounded the Night Cavalry tightly on the outer periphery.

As Bai Shi killed the Night Cavalrymen one by one and plundered the runes from them, the Night Cavalrymen's troops in Nimgefu were completely wiped out.

The sword and spear of Baizhi pierced through the darkness of Mongt.

Today, the fire of Bai Shi's ambition still flickers.
