All-Professional Master of Darkness

Hearing Graz's shout, everyone subconsciously turned their gazes over for a moment.

Gross looked extremely pale. The whites of his eyes could no longer be seen, and they were pitch black, reflecting the blazing light of the fire, making them look particularly scary. The veins on the pale neck stood out, crawling under the skin like earthworms, extending upward little by little.

This is a sign of being corrupted by demonic power.

"Damn it, why are you tempted by the devil?" Graz's face was ashen, and he killed the sand knight in front of him with white heat.

Corruption is a means by which demons lure humans into corruption. However, for hundreds of years, we have never heard of a human being being corrupted by demonic power. He had only read relevant rumors from ancient scrolls handed down.

According to legend, during the War of Original Sin thousands of years ago, the demon was affected by the World Stone and his power was greatly reduced, making him unable to destroy all humans at once. When humans gradually gain a foothold, the devil has no choice but to use this method to divide humans and strengthen their own power. One of the more famous examples is the Blood Crow.

As one of the human heroes in the War of Original Sin, Xuewu was originally an archer. She led the human coalition to resist demon attacks again and again in the War of Original Sin. Unfortunately, he eventually betrayed humanity for some reason, was corrupted by demonic power, and became the Blood Crow he is today.

More detailed information has been lost in the long history. The mainstream theory circulating so far is that humans make deals with demons for their own desires, selling their souls in exchange for more powerful power.

Gross actually chose to trade with Rodamente.

If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, Glaze would never have believed it. In his eyes, Gross was a noble Lugoin man with lofty ideals and beliefs who would never covet powerful power and make a deal with the devil. But the facts before him forced him to give up the last thought in his heart.

At this time, the three barbarians suddenly jumped up and attacked with a leap, aiming directly at Gross next to Rodament. As soon as they made a move, the other professions suddenly activated and worked together to rush over there.

Many loopholes appeared in the originally solid defense line. The solid defense line built by the mercenaries relying on the professionals was reduced to nothing, and a dozen sand knights took the opportunity to break in.

The sabers danced wildly. The eyes of a dozen sand knights glowed with blood-like red light, and their four arms brought out afterimages, and they chopped down at least fifty mercenaries in an instant.

"Kill!" Glaze didn't even look back, and made another white-hot instant kill of the sand knight rushing behind him.

The mercenaries were well-trained, and after a brief panic, they quickly regained their position. They stepped on the aura of fanaticism, swarmed up like a tide, and then suddenly dispersed, leaving a dozen corpses of sand knights on the ground.

The defense line had just been re-stabilized here when the three barbarians there also drew a parabola in mid-air and suddenly fell down. They grinned widely and struck Gross mercilessly with their two-handed axes.

Seeing three large axes blocking Grosz's retreat directions, Rodament suddenly raised his hand. A ball of pitch-black light suddenly shot toward the barbarian in the center.

"Damn it." The barbarian cursed secretly and hurriedly raised his ax to block it in front of his chest. There was nowhere to borrow strength in mid-air, so he could only bite the bullet and use the broad blade of the ax to block the blow.

For a moment, the dark magic bullet hit the axe, and it immediately made a light hissing sound. A line of black smoke slowly floated up, and the surface of the ax was clearly melted by magic bullets. With a scream, the barbarian fell from mid-air to the ground, covering his chest and howling miserably.

Strong corrosive magic raged in his chest. Strings of black smoke and pus flowed out from between the fingers. In just a few breaths, a piece of his chest was corroded away, and there was no movement anymore.

"Isn't Ruhadi here?" Gross slowly raised his head and raised his hands to hold the axes that were struck on the left and right sides. He stared at the two barbarians indifferently, his tone was empty, without any emotion.

The two savages were shocked and tried to pull away their hands. Unexpectedly, Gross's hands were like iron pliers, and the ax couldn't be pulled out at all. They suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. This is by no means a power possessed by humans. What's more, Gross is just a weak mage.

Just like that, a black shadow flashed out. The heads of the two barbarians flew high into the sky, and a half-meter high waterfall of blood sprayed out from the fracture.

"Kill them." Rhodament licked his blood-stained right paw and smiled strangely.

"They are not worthy of my action." Gross lowered his eyes, and the dense veins on his neck had already spread to his chin.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Rhodament smiled strangely, raised his hand and fired several dark magic bullets.

"Hide." The paladin who rushed at the front saw the magic bullet flying and hurriedly dodged to avoid it.

With a chirping sound, the magic bullet failed to accomplish anything and only eroded a deep pit on the ground. But this time it completely disrupted the formation of these professions. The surrounding sand knights' eyes glowed with blood and roared, taking the opportunity to divide and surround them into three parts.

Glaze saw these professionals being divided and surrounded by the Sand Knights, and his face became increasingly ugly. He did not expect these professionals to obey his orders. After all, they are followers of Ruhadi. But these damn souls were openly pointing at Gross in front of him. Aren't they afraid that he would expose them and arouse the anger of His Majesty Jehaine?

"It's time to withdraw." Suddenly a deep voice floated next to him. Graz was shocked, realizing that he had made such a stupid mistake and was touched without even noticing.

"This is not a place for defense." Lan Wu looked serious and slapped the sand knight in front of him, staggering back several steps and knocking down several sand knights.

"I...I can't retreat." Glaze danced with the long sword in his hand, and cleanly killed a sand knight who was coming towards him, with a flash of loneliness in his eyes.

He really couldn't withdraw. Gross is still here. This withdrawal means giving up Gross completely. Those followers of Ruhadi openly killed Gross in front of him, obviously intending to put the blame on his head.

Although the mercenary is one of Lu Gaoyin's three major forces and has a strong foundation, his identity is very embarrassing. In terms of strength, the professionals are far ahead and can be called Lu Gaoyin's number one force. In terms of closeness, Jehain obviously relies more on his troops. As for the mercenary, his grandma doesn't care for him, his grandpa doesn't love him, and he's just a doormat.

The rumors of banning mercenaries are not groundless. As a well-known figure in Lu Gaoyin, how could he not know that Jiehain and the minister had discussed this issue no less than ten times. If it were not for the uneven distribution of benefits demanded by all parties, I am afraid that the mercenary union would have been banned long ago and divided up by the major families and the city guard.

If Gross died here now, he would know that this was Ruhadi's deliberate move without even thinking about it. All it takes is an excuse, and Jehein and the various families will quickly reach a consensus and work together to carve up the mercenaries under the mercenary union. Under the temptation of huge interests, no matter how you defend yourself, the words of these professionals will be regarded as the most important evidence.

"If they die, there will be no one to testify." Lan Wu said in a loud voice, pulling away the saber that was approaching him with a bear's paw, and kicked the sand knight in the abdomen, sending him flying.

Graz was stunned, sideways dodged the sand knight's saber, and killed him with a white-hot clean stroke. He was a little moved. If these professionals all die here, even if they cannot completely escape the fate of being annexed, they can at least temporarily save the mercenary union. This is also a good idea.

With a glance, Graz quickly understood the entire battle situation. Now the mercenaries are holding on to the defense line, holding back about five hundred sand knights. Those professionals were divided and surrounded into three pieces, and there were at least four hundred sand knights.

"Are you interested in going to Rogge Camp to develop?" Lan Wu sided to dodge and hit a random hit to increase the damage. The mercenary behind him took the opportunity to thrust his spear, and it penetrated deeply into the sand knight's chest. With another pick, the sand knight was lifted high and knocked over again.

Graz was stunned and even forgot about the sand knight rushing in front of him. This suggestion had a huge impact on him. He is a pure Lugoin person. He grew up in Lugoin since he was a child, and then became a mercenary and inherited the title of Graz.

He never wanted to leave Lu Gaoyin. Even if he had known for a long time that Jehain and other families intended to annex the mercenary union, he only hoped to speak to Jehain through Gross in order to preserve the mercenary union that had been passed down for thousands of years.

A chiming sound woke up Graz. He had just come to his senses when he suddenly saw the sand knight in front of him with a light arrow nailed to his right eye. The pure power of holy light violently corroded the Sand Knight's head. In just one breath, most of the sand knight's head was corroded away.

"Holy light?" Graz was shocked. Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a skeleton archer, lining up his bow and shooting an arrow of light. He couldn't help but re-examine Lan Wu's strength.

Necromancers have never been very popular in Lugaoyin. Except for a handful of people who accept offers from various families, they only like to be alone, wandering around and adventuring alone. But no necromancer can summon such a weird skeleton.

Skeletons are undead. Holy light has additional damage bonus against undead creatures. The two become one. It's really a bit weird and a bit inconsistent.

"I'm very sincere." Lan Wu casually hit a ball to increase the damage, and retreated to the back. The transformation of the Ursine has ended. Facing such a melee, it is more cost-effective to attack to increase the damage.

"The Rogge camp is facing a crisis now, but it is also an opportunity." Lan Wu stepped aside to let the mercenaries behind him step forward to fill their positions, and with a smile, he hit a ball to increase the damage: "You and your mercenaries can join in. , share this opportunity with Rogge Camp. After all, it is Lord Akara and the others who make the decision. If we are satisfied in the future, we can continue to talk."

Glaze took a step back, stepped aside to let the mercenary who came to take over from behind, lowered his head and stared closely into Lan Wu's eyes: "I admit that my heart is moved. But..."

Having said this, he raised his hand and tapped Gross next to Rodament, and exhaled a long breath: "If you can rescue him, I will agree."
