The Swordsman of Faerûn

The four of them followed the star apostles to an island area, where there were many large and small floating islands, the big ones were like mountains, and the small ones were like millstones.

There are basically many man-made buildings distributed on these islands. On the largest island stands a resplendent platinum castle. Countless star apostles come and go in groups. Of course, there are also some stars with silver threads on their foreheads. world traveler.

It's a pity that William and Selena didn't get permission to enter this magnificent castle, while Dove and the old mage were welcomed into the castle by those birds with low eyesight.

William felt that these idiots were really irritating. He wanted to kick a rock as large as a millstone, but suddenly heard several urgent begging words for mercy came to his heart.

William lowered his head to look carefully, but saw a miniature tower with a height of more than one foot standing on the three-foot-square rock. A group of little people who looked like ants were gathering in the small square of the miniature tower, looking at it in horror. But he is like a giant in the sky.

It's actually an ultra-miniature Lilliputian, which is a bit interesting.William leaned down, looked at the little people with those eyes, and saw that this group of little people were praying to him with some unique ritual, and then some words of prayer came into his heart from time to time.

It seems that these little people are very afraid that the giant William will hurt them.

William looked at it for a while, and soon lost interest. He didn't like bullying the weak, and he didn't feel the slightest pleasure from the suffering of the weak. Instead, he found it boring.

It was Selena who discovered this interesting little country because of William's actions. She was very interested in destroying the ant nest, but it was a pity that William didn't want to let her do whatever she wanted, which made the little girl quite reluctant when she left I frequently look back at the tiny tower.

The two found a place to stay on an island with a radius of more than ten meters. There is also a building here, a not-so-big building. The owner of the building is a couple of moon elves. Surprisingly, this The necks of the couple are connected by a silver chain, which keeps the couple from being too far apart no matter what they do.

When William and Selena walked into the building, the Moon Elf couple didn't show much enthusiasm at first, but when their eyes sized up William, their expressions immediately changed.

The couple stared at William, lingering inexplicably.

William was naturally aware of the abnormality of the couple, but he didn't want to ask directly, so he just stepped forward and said, "Shopkeeper, is there a resting place here?"

The Moon Elf man's eyes fluctuated slightly, and he asked, "Welcome to the Star Realm, my friend. I wonder what kind of resting place you want?"

"Huh? Can you still do private orders here?" William was a little surprised by the other party's answer. He said, "We don't have any big requirements, as long as we can have two beds and some food."

Although people don't feel hungry in the astral world, it doesn't mean that there is nothing to eat and drink here. It's just that these are relatively precious and rare resources in the astral world, and ordinary astral world travelers really can't get them.

At this time, another female moon elf interrupted angrily: "Your Excellency wants to eat and drink, but we don't have any here. Only the Angel Reef opposite has countless delicious wines and food waiting for you to enjoy. If you have the ability, you can do it." where to!"

The female moon elf spoke a little aggressively. She pointed to the Platinum City in the distance and spoke to William, with a posture of "don't talk nonsense if you don't have the skills".

Only now did William know that the opposite castle was called Angel Reef, and he didn't care about the unfriendly appearance of the couple, he just asked for a place for himself, and then let Selena go to rest.As for himself, he still made regular inquiries with the couple in the building.

However, the couple was very unwilling to cooperate, and ignored William's question, asking too harshly, but the female elf said angrily: "You villain! It's impossible for you to inquire about the secrets of our couple. !Call out your evil dragon companions, and the big guys will have a good fight!"

William was a little surprised, he smiled and asked, "Where did I get the dragon partner?"

The male moon elf said displeasedly: "Your Excellency is filled with the aura of the main dragon (referring to five-color dragons and metal dragons), and there are obviously giant dragons who are partnered with you. Even if you try to cover up your red dragon partner's whereabouts, it will be in vain. .”

William sighed, and said, "Can't you see that I bear the Dragon Knight's guardianship contract?"

The couple scoffed at William's claims.

Little boy, who are you bluffing? The power of the flames around you is obviously the power only possessed by fire dragons. There are basically only two types of fire dragons in this world, red dragons and golden dragons. How dare you say that you The best friend is not a red dragon, but the most arrogant golden dragon?

Return the dragon knight guardianship contract?

Suddenly there was a fierce roar of a giant dragon outside the building, the voice was full of inexplicable tyranny and burning anger. Hearing this sound, the Moon Elf couple immediately flew into a rage and shouted: "You still say that you are not the son of a dragon?" Companion?! Sophistry fellow! Get ready to die!"

Then the couple quickly ran out of the house, and performed a rare scene of human transforming into a dragon in front of William who ran out. Their handsome bodies instantly swelled up, and dense scales grew out of their bodies like pythons, and finally transformed into dragons. Make a pair of giant dragons more than fifty feet long.

These two giant dragons have a streamlined and graceful body, and the scales on their bodies are as brilliant as stars. A long silver chain links the two giant dragons, making their images quite inexplicably dramatic.

When William saw the appearance of the giant dragon couple, he immediately understood their identities. They were astral dragons, a strange dragon that lived in the astral plane.

Astral dragons are quite special. When an astral dragon becomes an adult, its size is relatively small, even smaller than that of a normal human being. Most of them are only about [-] meters.But despite the inconspicuous size of these giant dragons, their strength is not weak, especially they have a unique talent ability, which can instantly restore all wounds in battle (lock blood hang).

Unless the attacker can kill the astral dragon with one blow, it will be difficult to really effectively kill the opponent.

But what the astral dragons are most fond of talking about is their unique spouse habits. When two astral dragons of the opposite sex look at each other and become husband and wife, there will be an unrecognizable knot on their necks. The chain of physical destruction, this chain links the astral dragon couple, so that no matter what they do, they must be in pairs.

Normally, this will make the life of the astral dragons very inconvenient, but most of the astral dragons believe that this chain is the blessing of the gods to the astral dragons, and it symbolizes the eternal bond between each other. Beloved.

By the way, once the astral dragons have a mate, their body will increase tenfold in a very short period of time, from a small dragon about the size of a human to a terrifying giant.

After the astral giant dragons transformed into their original bodies, they did not attack William, but spread their wings soaring towards the Angel Reef not far away.

William looked up, but saw dozens of huge magical warships floating around the giant island where the Angel Reef was located. Several flying dragon knights soared and turned around the battleships. flames.

For today's Angel Reef, being attacked by fire dragons is undoubtedly a disaster.Due to the disconnection of the magic net, the magic barrier used to protect the Angel Reef lost its effectiveness, which made the flames of the fire dragon exert its maximum lethality in the city of the apostles of the star realm.

To paraphrase a righteous man, countless kind lives are howling and struggling in the flames of evil.The star dragon couple rushed to Angel Reef impatiently, but the reason why they were reluctant to give William even a breath of starlight was because their baby dragon baby also lived in Angel Reef Castle.

The appearance of the astral giant dragon couple made the magic warships and dragon knights in the sky a little nervous. They seemed to be well aware of the difficulty of the dragon couple. Quickly intercept one of the two astral dragons.

Of course, due to the special habits of the astral dragons, intercepting one of them is actually no different from being intercepted by both dragons. The two sides immediately started a fierce fight. The large-scale armor-piercing crossbow of the magic warship and the firepower coverage of the shock gun caused the astral dragon to suffer a big loss almost in a face-to-face encounter.

One of the astral dragons suffered severe injuries immediately, its whole body was pierced like a hedgehog, its huge and graceful wings were torn apart, and silver starlight dragon blood sprayed out like a waterfall. The injury on the giant dragon on the main material plane was absolutely dead, but the astral dragon just let out a roar, and then saw that the seriously injured and dying dragon disappeared immediately, and became a living dragon again. A hero and a dragon.

Then this astral dragon and his consort plunged into a magical battleship, clawed and bitten and covered with spit, tearing a precious astral cruiser into pieces almost in the blink of an eye.

Then their husband and wife severely injured a red dragon and killed the knight on the back of the red dragon.

And the aura of magic rose from inside the Angel Reef. Someone was using spells to extinguish the burning dragon flame. William guessed that it should be the handiwork of the old mage Elminster.

However, William didn't have the heart to get involved in the battle in Angel Reef. He looked around and saw some small airships shuttled between the islands, and a group of humanoid soldiers with silver blades were attacking the islands here. and the buildings above it were destroyed.

The githyanki, the most famous warlike force in the astral world, are the thugs of the astral world, the pirates of the multiverse, they bring fear to the astral world, raid the wild space, and plunder magic and wealth in the multiverse.

It is said that the ancestors of the githyanki were once the slaves of the illithids. When they finally got rid of this tragic fate, they still couldn't get rid of the nightmare sequelae caused by the past suffering. The psychic trauma of the Syanki's immortal queen, but that queen spread it to all her kind.

We can talk about the information of the Githyanki people all day long, but William didn't have so much time to watch the excitement. He raised his knife and rushed towards the Githyanki soldiers who were destroying the island.

What William wants to protect is not all the islands, but the island the size of a millstone that once intersected with him. The ultra-miniature castle on it makes William quite interested.

He reached out and caught the slash of a githyanki soldier, preventing the soldier with the silver greatsword from inflicting fatal damage on the little man's castle, and William wrenched the soldier's neck.

The soldier who was fatally injured did not die on the spot, but disappeared in front of William in a cloud of silver light, and then all the Githyanki soldiers seemed to have been warned, and they turned their eyes to William in unison. , and then rushed towards him full of killing intent.

William, on the other hand, guarded the tiny little man's castle without giving an inch. Every githyanki who rushed up was killed by him on the spot, and then disappeared into silver light.

There is no fatigue and hunger in the star world, so William's combat effectiveness has always been maintained at its peak.

When he killed five githyanki soldiers, the githyanki were enraged at the majesty of the "followers of gith"; when William killed ten githyanki, all the githyanki were enraged When fifty githyanki were killed, the githyanki were a little embarrassed; after a hundred brave githyanki fell to William's knife, all the githyanki began to look at each other, almost No one dared to face William's blade again.

They started to stay away from William and dispatched a magic warship to rush up. William felt that he had to teach these robbers a deep lesson.

William rushed towards the battleship like a nimble jerboa. He easily dodged all the attacks and boarded the deck of the magic battleship, and then the crew's nightmare began.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

No one could stop William in a frontal fight, and when he began to clear the crew of the githyanki warship, it was too late.

All githyanki crew members were killed or driven out, and the intact Astral Cruiser became William's prize.

Of course the githyanki refused to swallow this breath, and soon they dispatched two red dragon knights over, regardless of the anxious state of the battlefield to attack Angel Reef head-on.

Red dragons are the most ferocious and domineering dragons among all dragons. They can be said to be the most vicious representatives of ordinary dragons. They are the pinnacle of horizontal combat power (referring to the same age group), except for golden dragons that can barely compete with red dragons.

The only thing any dragon needs to consider when encountering a red dragon is how to escape with his life, including other evil dragons.Because the only dragon among the red dragons has a dragon eating habit, and other dragons, even the most beast-like white dragons, would not do this kind of thing.

When the two red dragons flew over and saw William's figure, they immediately fell into a state of rage. The dragon breath permeating William's body made the red dragons feel inexplicably hungry. Human psionic bodies closely related to other dragons.

The dragon flame of the red dragon is the most lethal among all the breaths of giant dragons. It is said that the dragon flame of the old red dragon can even cause damage to the so-called indestructible artifact.But unless it is a surprise attack on an enemy that is caught off guard, the red dragon will generally not use the flame-breathing attack method at the beginning, because the moment before the dragon's breath is also when their defense is weakest.

The first giant dragon suddenly attacked William and the magic ship under him by means of horns. When William had to jump to avoid the collision of the red dragon, the other red dragon had already attacked with its claws.

What a William, but casually ejected a cloud of psychic flames behind him, but the whole person avoided the attack of the second giant dragon by a few hundredths of a millimeter by the reaction force.Then he jumped onto the back of the first red dragon whose neck was temporarily stuck by the magic ship, and accidentally and easily twisted the neck of the githyanki dragon rider.

By the way, githyanki dragonriders are not the strongest warriors of their kind, on the contrary, red dragons tend to pick those with the worst use of psionic powers.

The strength of the githyanki is basically linked to their psionic power, and the red dragons are worried that the psionic master among the githyanki will use psionic energy to affect their minds.The red dragons who serve the githyanki are generally young members, and most red dragons release this job contract as soon as they come of age, lest the grown red dragon knights completely control them (this is always the case from time to time. happened).

After killing the dragon rider, William slashed at the neck of the red dragon under his feet with the monkey version of Qiushui knife in his hand, beheading the red dragon under his feet with only a few knives. The halo then disintegrated into a sky full of stars and disappeared into the invisible.

The other red dragon was full of shock and anger at the moment, he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, his combat partner had already been killed.The red dragon let out an earth-shattering roar, so that even the red dragons besieging Angel Reef in the distance were affected.

The red dragon opened its bloody maw, and suddenly breathed out a deadly flame at William.

The blazing flames poured down, but William gathered his hand without fear, and even gathered the red dragon's breath, forming a fiery fireball the size of a football above his palm, which really looked like a spiral fireball.

Waterfackle!Are my eyes hallucinating?

William's skill of controlling fire with his hands almost caused the eyeballs of the red dragon to pop out after breathing out the flames.

Countless flames were shrunk into the fireball, causing the fireball to emit a dazzling white light, because too much energy was gathered in the fireball.

The horror of the red dragon is not enough to describe with pen and ink, even if the gods are here, they dare not play like this!

Just when the dragon was so shocked that it couldn't hold back, William held the fireball in one hand, leaped to the dragon's head, waved the fireball into the red dragon's closed mouth, and then He hit the dragon's tongue, causing it to subconsciously close its mouth under the pain.

Immediately after William turned over and moved away from the dragon, he saw that the red dragon wanted to open its mouth in pain, but he didn't want the dragon's head and seven orifices to shoot out flames, and then the red dragon's head and half of its body were exploded into pieces. Fragmented charred remains.

Not to mention that the red dragon's body, which was only half wrecked, also turned into silver ectoplasm and shattered.

However, in an unknown place far away, two giant dragon-like creatures suddenly woke up one after another from their deep sleep, and roared and roared again and again.

One of them screamed in dragon language: "I was beheaded by a mere human! A reptile without wings (the national curse of a giant dragon, similar to Sa Na Bichi)! Can you believe the great red dragon Lakan Will Be be defeated by a mere hairless monkey?"

The other coughed again and again as if he was frightened, as if he wanted to cough out his heart and lungs, and the sparks sprayed out of his mouth were splashing everywhere.

The terrified creature screamed desperately: "I met a terrible guy, and he killed me with a terrible fireball! Io! I was blown away by a fireball Come on, it's really scary."

The sad withdrawal of the two red dragons and the loss of a large number of githyanki including a magic warship made those who besieged Angel Reef finally realize that the situation was not good.

Their losses have reached a point, and the troops besieging Angel Reef are already stretched out, and it is difficult for them to send more men to wipe out (if they can do it) William's side.

And those two astral dragons also became more and more courageous as they fought. Both of them had suffered heavy injuries many times, but each time they could use the talent of the astral dragons to recover, and then ruthlessly dealt with those who besieged them. deal a heavy blow.Under such accumulation, the strength of the Githyanki was continuously weakened like bloodletting.

At this moment, the commanders of the Githyanki already understood that they could no longer capture Angel Reef, because the opportunity was gone, and the next thing that the Githyanki needed to consider most was to minimize the losses during the retreat.

Although the magic battleship of the Githyanki is powerful, the advantage in the astral world is not as great as imagined. After all, people in the astral world move like teleportation, as long as they use their brains to think, the flying ability of the magic warship And firepower advantage is basically no different from decoration.

When these magical warships turned their bows and began to speed up, countless star apostles rushed out of Angel Reef Castle flapping their wings.

These guys seem to be quite interested in chasing the dogs in the water, and the three red dragons fought bravely under the command of the knight. The red dragons kept breathing flames to prevent the enemies from approaching.

However, the defeat was like a mountain. Although the Red Dragon's combat power is strong enough, it can be said that it is not brave to fight fiercely. However, there are too many enemies rushing out of the castle. Two magic warships were caught up by the star apostles and completed. Forcibly boarding the mission, the star apostles began to clean up the crew on the magic battleship.

Of course, these have nothing to do with William, who is currently inspecting the miniature little man's castle.

Since the Creator has evolved the universe and created all things, although things are big and small, animals are strong and weak, the big ones are like whales and mountains, the small ones are like ants, lice, dust and dew, the strong ones are tigers, leopards, bears and lions, and the weak ones are pikas, deer, and deer , but each has its own magic and mystery.

Just like a giant dragon can soar in the nine heavens, but it is not as fine-grained as an insect beetle.Although this ultra-tiny small country cannot be used by William with a single blow, and even a child may destroy the country, it does not mean that these tiny creatures cannot be helpful to William.

The first moment William came to this island group, he had a premonition in the dark that this little country was destined for him, otherwise he would not be idle and have nothing to do, how could he care about an ant nest for no reason? The safety of small things.

The retreat of the githyanki almost turned into a big rout. At least three magical warships were captured and destroyed by the apostles of the star realm. If the red dragon knight did not fight to the death, the githyanki would have lost even more warships.

Of course, the casualties of the apostles of the star realm were also not small, especially at the beginning of the battle, the apostles of the star realm were extremely unadapted to the battle without magic protection, and were suddenly attacked by the enemy, resulting in extremely heavy casualties.

This is also the reason why the extremely angry apostles of the star realm tried their best to hunt down and kill the githyanki rout at the end. They were completely annoyed by the heavy casualties of their companions.

Even a few star apostles whose brains were burned by anger ran to William's side, wanting to completely destroy the magical battleship of the githyanki captured by him to vent their anger, and then these stunned youths were taught by William with their fists. be human.

This can be regarded as stabbing a hornet's nest.

Astral apostles are a branch of angels, belonging to the category of celestial beings. These birdmen have many advantages, such as unity, good fighting, firm will, like to help the young, and have the courage to draw their swords in the face of evil. But it also has the shortcomings that most celestial creatures have, paranoia and lack of flexibility.

The aura of good and evil in William's body undoubtedly did not meet the expectations of the apostles of the Star Realm. After all, William had done many extraordinary things, and his greatest sin was the body of a saint who had resisted and killed the gods. Never received a gift from the gods.

There is a hidden rule of the gods. If a mortal kills a god, then you must take over the authority of that god and become the new god, otherwise you will be guilty of killing the gods.If you don't want to become a god, then don't do it. Sealing a god is undoubtedly a more appropriate choice. For example, the people who defeated Moander in its heyday did not want to assume the authority of the corrupt god. Seal this evil god (Vander Longthorn has picked up a big bargain).

What William did was undoubtedly evil and unforgivable (not forgiving) to the apostles of the heavens. The reason why they didn’t do anything when they first saw William was entirely out of the goodness of the apostles of the stars. Self-cultivation, as well as the responsibilities of the apostles of the astral world, are not aimed at godslayers.

But now William beat up the apostles of the astral world, which gave the other apostles of the astral world a good excuse and a rare channel to vent their anger.

The anger of the fighters needs to be vented, otherwise it will easily cause them to degenerate if it accumulates too much.

When the other astral apostles saw that William knocked down several reckless partners with three punches and two kicks, they immediately rushed over. There were two dozen experienced warriors, and everyone believed that they would give that bad leave a deep impression on human beings.

As we said before, the astral world is special. If William fights on the main material plane, he will be tired, hungry, and sleepy. Physical exhaustion is an inevitable problem.Even if William is brave and unrivaled in martial arts, he will be besieged to death by crowd tactics.

But in the astral plane, William doesn't need to worry about the so-called consumption. As long as his will is firm enough, William's fighting state will always be at the peak level. This means that as long as William is cautious and lucky enough, It is definitely no longer an exaggeration and imagination to ride a thousand horses.

However, William's moves were like lightning, and his moves were natural. Every time he turned around and every bit of shaking could precisely avoid the attacks from the apostles from the star realm, and he could knock down an opponent with a single blow.

In the eyes of onlookers, those star apostles are like clumsy fools, every attack is always a hair's breadth away from William's. His fist hit.

More than 20 star apostles came excitedly, but were finally beaten up.

This time the leader of the apostles of the Star Realm was really impatient. A tall female Asmer was even taller than William by a head. She had platinum-gold skin and three-dimensional facial features, and golden wings like halos In general, this star world apostle leader is endowed with incomparable holiness and majesty.

She directly pulled out a large mace, and with a howl, it turned into a golden light and rushed towards William.

At this time, William was on the deck of the magic battleship. He stacked the downed apostles of the star world together in a wicked way, forming a panting human mound. On the top of the human mound was another platinum-skinned female star. The apostle of the world, her foul headlights became a stepping stone for William, which made the poor female star apostle feel inexplicably sad and indignant. If she hadn't been powerless to resist, she would definitely draw out her sword and tear William into pieces.

William's enjoyment of evil fun was not fully satisfied, so he had to turn over and jump off the magic battleship, because the power of the rushing leader of the star apostles was really fierce, and the entire magic battleship was almost smashed apart by her full blow When the fight broke out, the defeated soldiers of the star apostles who were stacked together were scattered in all directions by the impact, and many of them belched on the spot and turned into starlight and disappeared invisible.

What the hell am I!William really didn't expect that the legendary apostle of the star realm who was known for his kindness would even kill his own people when he launched a ruthless attack. He immediately drew the knife in his hand and took the second heavy blow from the leader of the apostle of the star realm.

The huge impact hit William a little unstable, and he had to turn over and back to offset the damage.Then there was another heavy blow from the head of the apostles of the star realm, but it caused William to be knocked into the air again. After repeated attacks, he didn't find the slightest chance to fight back.
