This isn't a souls-like game at all.

"Is it the past phantom of the Divine Knight?"

Chapter 372 [The Supreme God's Gospel of National Salvation]

“Ding, ding, ding!”

The collision of the knife and the sword made a sharp metallic cracking sound. The Ghost Rider, who was wrestling with Norsley at the moment, suddenly took a step back and his illusory figure disappeared into thin air.

"Sa!"

A dazzling white comet passed in front of the psychic, leaving a long white tail in the air.

"clang!"

The huge, heavy kitchen knife slammed to the ground. Norsley looked up expressionlessly, and saw the knight's phantom appear again on the distant stairs.

"The past phantom of the Divine Knight is truly surprising..."

Ye Yiyi walked slowly towards him holding the Moonlight Spear, looking the other person up and down with his golden vertical pupils.

The phantom knight was tall and his body was as illusive as white mist. He was wearing a complicated full-body black heavy armor decorated with complex and exquisite dark gold patterns, and a black cloak hanging down to his ankles behind him.

But the most eye-catching thing is the metal helmet with four dark golden arc horns extending towards the sky, and the hideous devil mask covering the face.

The helmet has horns and a devil or demon mask, which makes it a unique and rare image.

There is no doubt that this knight phantom, like Astraea, is a divine knight serving the supreme god!

At this moment, the divine knight was holding a serrated greatsword, standing high on the circular stairs, with a look of contempt in his illusory eyes that seemed to be scanning over.

"The phantom of the past... this is not easy to deal with."

Ye Yiyi muttered to himself, watching Angel crawling back towards him, his eyes slightly solemn.

Recalling the last time he fought against the phantom of the past, Knight Master Lupel, he borrowed the hay on the field, used flames to forcibly confine it to a small area, and then killed it.

But now there is no closed fog wall and no field advantage, so it is extremely difficult to kill the opponent one-on-one.

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard a familiar sharp sound of breaking through the air behind him.

A gray-black comet with a long tail came over, passing over the crowd and shooting towards the phantom of the knight standing tall.

It was Alatron who took action. The Stargazer was worthy of being the disciple of the chief magician of the Star Palace. The first thing he did was use high-level magic like Magic Comet.

"it's useless."

But Ye Yiyi shook his head slightly and was not optimistic about this attack.

All the phantoms in the past were masters of reading commands. As long as they wanted, no projectile attack could hit them.

As expected, seeing the gray-black comet breaking through the sky, the Divine Knight glanced slightly, and the illusory figure suddenly disappeared in the distance before being pierced by the comet.

"This is……"

Alatron frowned and looked around solemnly, alert to the enemy who had suddenly disappeared.

"Don't use projectile-type attacks, you won't be able to hit him."

As Ye Yiyi was speaking, he heard everyone exclaim loudly.

"later!"

"He's behind!"

"Lord be careful!"

Ye Yiyi raised his eyebrows and saw a dark blue mist emerging beside his face, with tightly stretched translucent tentacles shooting out from it like an arrow.

"clang!"

The tentacles knocked away the serrated greatsword that was stabbing from behind, and the knight's phantom disappeared in a flash, just as the tentacles stabbed him.

"Is this guy... targeting me?"

Ye Yiyi turned around and looked at the empty space behind her, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

This knight had a sharp eye and deliberately picked out the toughest one among the group.

"Sir! What should we do?"

Angel looked anxious, but he saw Ye Yiyi waving his hand and pointing at the mottled stone pillar in the center of the hall.

"Go to the holy monument and don't come out."

“Swish…Puff!!”

The sound of running water was heard, and Xiaoyu attacked again, blocking the greatsword of the knight phantom that was coming from behind.

Hearing this, Angel no longer hesitated, grabbed Suke, and ran towards the holy monument.

Ye Yiyi glanced at the silent Norsley, then turned his head to look at the winged man's wings trembling as he ran, and slightly raised the Moonlight Gun in his hand.

"Pfft!"

When Angel was still a few steps away from the golden light curtain emitted by the holy monument, the phantom of a knight suddenly appeared in Angel.

"what!"

Angel's breathing almost stopped at this moment. He stared at the knight's body as heavy as a mountain, the serrated sword held high in both hands, and his eyes that were indifferent and showed no mercy. His mind suddenly went blank.

“…Am I going to die?”

A deep black aura suddenly appeared before his eyes, transforming into a slender figure carrying a bone staff.

Norsley looked expressionlessly at the greatsword coming towards her head, and swung the greatsword forward with both hands.

"Pfft!"

The female psychic's pretty face and unprotected head were split in two by the sword right in front of Angel's wide-open eyes!

"clang!!"

At the same time, the giant kitchen knife she swung horizontally landed firmly on the waist of the Knight Phantom.

In stark contrast to Norsley's slender figure was her overwhelming strength.

"Well!"

The knight phantom groaned, and the movements of his hands became distorted. The sword fell heavily and split half of the female psychic's body at an angle. Then he fell heavily to the side under the huge force of the giant kitchen knife.

"Bang! My clothes are being torn off!!"

The divine knight fell to the ground and rolled, his metal armor constantly making crisp metallic collision sounds against the ground.

Norsley, whose upper body was almost split in half by a sword, collapsed to the ground. Immediately afterwards, a gray-black comet and three white comets flew over at the same time, shooting the knight who fell to the ground into a sieve.

The Divine Knight's shattered body twitched slightly before disappearing like mist.

"This……"

Angel stared at the scene blankly, and Suke, who was held in his hand, widened his eyes.

It was not until the black fog filled the air around them and Norsley, with an expressionless face and intact body, emerged from it that the two people were awakened from their daze.

"Just now...what exactly happened?"

Su Ke muttered to himself and couldn't help but look back at Ye Yiyi who was walking towards him with a gun.

"Just eliminated a tough elite enemy."

Ye Yiyi answered, glancing at the simplified light curtain at the same time.

Soul Echo +8800

Current Soul Echoes: 38167

Soul Echoes Required for Upgrade: 55500

Seeing the prompt of True Spirit Echo pop up, Ye Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief. This meant that the elusive phantom from the past was really dead.

"Only 8000 True Spirit Echoes?"

Even among elite monsters, this is a high number, even more than Astralia during the first invasion.

But judging from the way the other party died suddenly...

He watched thoughtfully as Norsley put the big kitchen knife back on her back, picked up the bone staff again, and transformed from a violent warrior back into a frail mage. The corners of his mouth twitched inexplicably.

One strike of your sword can knock down a fully armored knight who is two heads taller than you.

Are you a psychic?

"what happened?"

Perhaps it was because Ye Yiyi's gaze was too unscrupulous, Norsley turned her head and tilted it slightly to the side.

"You..." Ye Yiyi hesitated to speak.

"Who did you learn this fighting style from?"

"It was tailor-made for me by my master."

Norsley answered calmly without any fluctuation in her tone.

"She said that if I wanted to take advantage of this dead body, I just had to ignore the opponent's sword and attack with all my strength.

"What would be considered an injury for an ordinary person, would make me invincible forever."

"Brilliant!"

Alatron couldn't help but clap his hands and sighed.

"To be able to point out the deceased's greatest strength in one sentence, I believe your master must have been a warrior with profound martial arts skills and rich experience.

"Even though I was transformed from the dead, I couldn't look directly at the oncoming sword before I regained my emotions.

"Even if I know I won't die or get hurt, this instinct to escape danger has long been etched deep within my soul, and it's difficult to change it.

"Sir Norsley, I'm curious, how did you overcome that instinct?"

"I don't have that instinct."

Norsley shook her head and turned to look directly at Ye Yiyidao.

"I was born dead, and I have no memories or experiences of being alive."

"Born dead?"

"How can this be?!"

Before Ye Yiyi could react, he heard Alatron's scream of shock.

"What's wrong?" Ye Yiyi and the others looked at Alatron in confusion, not understanding why the other party reacted so strongly.

"This... ahem, sorry, I'm being rude."

Alatron coughed twice and forced himself to suppress the shock on his face, but the look he gave Norsley and his tone still held some surprise.

“Sir, you may not know much about this aspect. The witch once told me that the dead must die once before they die!

"Only when the true spirit abandons life and accepts death can it be born as the dead under the gestation of deep darkness!

"In other words, the dead and the living are two completely opposite beings, the starting point and end point of a line.

"But being born dead... this means that Lord Norsley has been dead from the beginning and has never lived. But without life, how can there be death?"

Looking at Alatron with a tangled expression, Ye Yiyi pondered silently, but couldn't figure out the reason, so he could only look at the expressionless psychic lady.

"Alatron is right," said Norsley. "That is why I seek the Witch of the Damned."

She looked at Ye Yiyi and said calmly, "I should have said before that my master once told me that the witch could solve the problem I have...it's this problem."

“…Yes, I did.”

Ye Yiyi recalled and found that Norsley had indeed said so before.

But he was in a hurry to fight against the evil spirit wizard and didn't have time to ask the reason.

Now that I know the reason, it’s not so surprising.

There are too many outrageous things happening in the bordering land, not to mention Norsley.

In comparison, he was more curious about the origins of these phantoms of divine knights.

"In that case, let's move on."

Glancing at the empty ground after the knight's phantom disappeared, he looked up at the top of the circular staircase.
