"Is there anything else?" Thorne paused and turned to look at the indifferent succubus paladin.

"I heard Ishak talk about you. You are also a person who has been eroded by the demon's will, so I want to test whether you have a strong will to fight against this ability."

The succubus paladin folded his wings and stood straight in the same place, his voice still very cold.

The only thing that changed were those pale golden eyes.

At this time, when looking at Thorne's figure, a strong fighting spirit burst out.

Are paladins a bunch of fighters?

Thorne, who was standing not far away, naturally understood the meaning of the other party's words. He couldn't help but mutter a sentence in his heart, then pondered a little, met the cold eyes of the paladin, and replied calmly:

"Then do you mean that if I don't have the ability to resist the will of the devil, you are ready to purify me here yourself."

Although paladins are messengers of justice and vanguards against evil, they are sometimes very stubborn and not very flexible, especially the young paladins who have just debuted.

This is what he feels most deeply about the Dragonborn Paladin. Perhaps with the passage of time, his character will gradually become calm and sophisticated, and he will become a Paladin who makes the conversation of evil forces change.

But growth always requires a process.

Just like the fallen paladin Brant in Winter City, he paid the heaviest price for his youthful vigor, so that the holy emblem in his hand became dim.

After Thorne finished speaking, he subconsciously turned his eyes to Ishak, whom the paladin just mentioned.

This tiefling friend, who has the blood of the Balor Flame Demon, is still the same semi-demonized appearance as when the two separated, with ferocious demon horns, wide broken bat wings and a pair of feet similar to goat hooves.

However, the only thing that has changed in this man is his eyes. He used to be, looking around, his eyes seemed to be burning with chaotic flames.

If you look closely now, you can see that the flame-like light has long since disappeared, replaced by perseverance.

Moreover, Thorne also felt a faint energy of Qi flowing in the air in the behavior of the other party.

From this, it can be seen that this guy is definitely training as a monk.

After all, monks are the most determined group of people among all professionals.

Ishak noticed Thorne's gaze, first shrugged, and then smiled helplessly at him, as if to tell the other party that he didn't quite know what the paladin meant.

He has been in contact with the paladin Jessica for a long time, and he still knows a little about the general character of the boss.

Jessica's demeanor, like her icy facial expression, is crisp and succinct, never saying a word of nonsense or taking an interest in things outside the rules.

Now, it was the first time in Ishak's mind that he took the initiative to challenge a strange outsider, so he actually didn't understand what the other party's intention was.

Was she really just interested in the half-elf ranger's demonic abilities? Ishak thought to himself.

At the same time, he remembered that their paladin boss had deliberately asked him carefully when he heard about the deeds of the ranger.

Does she want to pull this ranger to join the demon hunting team, and then go to the endless wilderness to hunt the abyss demon? Ishak was shocked, as if he had guessed something.

So he looked straight, and immediately turned his attention to Jessica, waiting quietly for what she had to say next.

"I can feel the kindness in your heart, so I don't want a kind ranger to end up on the road of no return. If you really don't have the ability to resist the devil's will, I can help you and guide you. Take the right path." The paladin Jessica said her true intentions in a flat tone.

"It turned out to be this reason, but your so-called guiding me on the right path is probably a bit intriguing. At least the path of the paladin is definitely not suitable for me."

Noticing the serious expression on the paladin's face, Thorne immediately understood what the other party meant, and couldn't help thinking to himself.

As expected of a paladin, he thinks too much.

Pursue the good, guard the justice, and destroy the evil.

These are the three tenets of the paladin, so even the original inhabitants, very few people can meet the conditions of becoming a paladin.

Moreover, their first belief is justice and goodness, and their second belief is God.

That is to say, if the gods they believe in deviate from their code of conduct, they will directly abandon the gods, and even become enemies in severe cases.

So, sometimes they are a group of great people, and sometimes they are a group of sad people.

Because in their stubborn heads like stones, there is always a mission full of justice.

All in all, for Thorne, all paladins are worthy of his respect.

"I accept your challenge." Thorne's expression condensed, he replied seriously, and then his hand moved to the position of the sword hilt involuntarily.

As soon as the words fell, the other members of the demon hunting team looked at each other, and then locked their eyes on the Ranger at the same time.

Obviously, they don't think this Ranger has the strength to challenge their boss, it's just an instant talent charm spell, I'm afraid he can't resist it.

Although Jessica is a paladin, she is also a succubus dominated by the succubus lineage, and naturally inherits most of its racial traits.

In other words, she not only possesses the abilities of a 10th-level paladin, but also possesses the spell-like abilities that most succubuses possess.

Moreover, as a succubus who can successfully resist the erosion of the will of the abyss and was inspired to become a paladin, her faith and strength are undoubtedly unquestionable.

At the same time, another tiefling guard who had just communicated to the witch hunt team began to struggle.

Due to the emergency, he didn't have time to tell the witcher team that the ranger in front of him had accomplished a task that none of them could accomplish.

It can be seen from this that the strength of this Ranger must not be underestimated.

But after thinking about it, he thinks it's okay.

Because every time he sees the attractive face of the paladin Jessica, it is difficult to resist the natural charm of the other party, which leads to embarrassment, so he believes that this strange ranger does not have the ability to resist the instant charm of the paladin. spell ability.

So he wiggled his tail gently, looked at the ranger expectantly with pale red eyes, and pictured him making a fool of himself in public.

"Then, offended." Paladin Jessica's cold voice blurted out.

Although she could feel the kindness and aura emanating from the ranger's body, she also sensed an abyss aura that was very similar to her own, and the coercion in the other party's aura made her faintly feel a little bit of fear.

This feeling is more like the fear from the bottom of the heart of a lower-level demon when facing a higher-level demon.

From this, it can be seen how powerful the demonic breath hidden by this ranger is, and naturally the erosion of will he needs to face in the future is also stronger.

The will erosion of the bottomless abyss is the most impressive memory for her, so she does not want to watch this compatriot assimilated by the will of the abyss and eventually become a demon who can only kill.

Immediately afterwards, the wings on the back of the paladin Jessica unfolded instantly, and an adamantine broadsword exuding divine light appeared in her hand.

However, when the sacred fine gold broadsword appeared in his hand, there was a flicker in the delicate face of the succubus paladin, and his brows slightly wrinkled, as if he was trying his best to endure some pain.

When the holy fine gold broadsword appeared in the hands of the paladin Jessica, Thorne immediately noticed the strangeness between her brows, and quickly understood the reason.

A succubus longing for a path of goodness is a thing that terrifies the world, and this succubus has to become a paladin full of justice, which is undoubtedly a result of her already rough road. Sharp thorns of thorns.

Because of the demonic nature of the succubus, they are naturally afraid of divine energy, which means that from the moment she becomes a paladin, in addition to sticking to her own code of conduct to maintain justice, she also has to suffer the pain caused by divine energy at all times.

Just like this, the succubus paladin at this moment is holding a holy fine gold broadsword, the iconic weapon of paladins.

This broad sword full of divine energy will continue to cause divine damage to her from the moment she holds it in her hand.

That is to say, whenever she uses the ability of a paladin, she will suffer a certain amount of damage, such as the most representative skill of paladin: slaying evil!

Therefore, as a succubus, if she chooses to take other career paths, even a monk will not be as difficult and painful as a paladin.

But she chose the profession of paladin.

Perhaps, with the precipitation of time, her physique can gradually adapt to this ability, develop divine resistance, and avoid becoming a paladin who eats everything, just like the dark elves in the underdark can adapt to life on the surface, not exposed to direct sunlight the same impact.

But this precipitation process is undoubtedly very painful.

At this moment, every minute and every second of the holy fine gold broadsword in her hand was suffering holy damage.

Seeing Thorne here, she was suddenly a little curious about what happened to this cold succubus, so she would rather choose to suffer pain than go on the path of a paladin without hesitation.

"Please." Thorne pulled out the steel soul sword that flashed pale blue light and made a please gesture.

Immediately afterwards, he no longer hesitated, and with the blessing of the two acceleration skills "Stride" and "Fashion", his speed became extremely fast.

He was like an afterimage, and instantly approached the paladin. In her surprised eyes, the steel soul sword with the afterimages slashed directly to the head.

- "Dimensional step!"

Just as the paladin was about to resist Thorne's sharp blade, the light of the runes burst out from the soles of his feet, and then quickly disappeared, appearing strangely behind the paladin.

——“One Ring Divine Art: Brilliant Burst!”

Noticing Thorne's disappearing figure, the paladin did not panic at all, but when her mind moved, a dazzling white light immediately erupted around her body.

Thorne, who was about to succeed in the sneak attack, was slightly hurt by the dazzling white light. He chose to close his eyes, and with the blessing of the Steel Soul stance "Listening Device", he still firmly locked the figure of the paladin. .

Then the sharp blade in his hand slashed at her body without hesitation.

"Ding! Ding!"

Thorne's shot was extremely fast, and he swung out four swords in an instant. This sharp blade with the attribute of destroying demons directly shattered the protective barrier of the paladin like a bamboo.

——"Ferocious charm!"

However, just at the moment when the protective barrier was broken, the succubus paladin took the opportunity to turn around, a flash of light flashed in his pale golden eyes, and an instant charm spell was quickly cast out.

As succubuses who are proficient in charm spells, in addition to their natural charisma, the charm spells they cast do not require the target to look into their eyes at all, but only need to look at the target themselves.

However, paladin Jessica's invincible charm spell only stopped the ranger's movements for a moment, and the ranger drew another sharp blade in an instant under the surprised eyes of the onlookers.

Obviously, they did not expect that the Ranger would be able to successfully resist the succubus paladin's best move.

"Zheng!"

The sharp blade in Thorne's hand was unsheathed so fast that it turned into a hot afterimage of fire.

When the paladin reacted, the scorching blade, which gradually turned into a bright white light, was already on her neck, and the winner was decided.

"It seems that you don't need my help, but I worry too much. I'm very sorry." Noticing the scorching heat from the blade, the paladin Jessica's tone softened, and it no longer became so cold.

"Actually, divine power can completely dispel your chaotic and evil nature. As a paladin, there should be a lawful good **** to help you."

Thorne sheathed the two sharp blades, glancing puzzled at the divine energy still eroding her grip on the hilt.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't ask this kind of question." As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately realized the inappropriateness of asking such a sensitive question, so he quickly corrected it and left quickly.

At the moment Thorne turned and left, in the other direction, the night lord Anaquis, who was holding a small black cat in his arms, appeared in everyone's sight.

She first glanced at Thorne's back thoughtfully, then walked to the paladin and said slowly:

"The gnolls in the north of the town have been dealt with by this ranger to help us eliminate the gnoll leaders and sacrifices, and now we can deal with another group of gnolls entrenched in the Norhir Plains with peace of mind."

"He's alone?" When everyone in the demon hunting team heard this, they all looked at the direction where Thorne disappeared in disbelief.

After all, they have personally tried the strength of the gnolls in the north. In the gnoll camp, in addition to the gnoll leaders and sacrifices, a large number of abyss gnolls are their biggest headaches, which is why they cannot successfully sneak in. The root cause inside the camp.

Unexpectedly, it was solved by this half-elf ranger alone.

"I see." The paladin Jessica sighed lightly, bowed respectfully to the Night Lord, put away the fine gold broadsword in her hand, and turned away.
