Chapter 216 Sleepless Night

The supreme ring, the ring to control others.

Sauron forged a total of twenty magic rings by himself or by others, nine of which were held by strong men among humans. Some of them were kings, some were powerful warriors, and some were well-known wizards.

But no one knows their specific identities. There are only some ancient rumors saying that three of them are nobles from Númenor. It is said that the Witch King is one of them. Another one with a relatively clear identity is a ruler from Dongyi. That is the current Eastern Phantom, Kohamul.

So far, the only one among the Ringwraiths who has not been directly defeated by Levi is the Witch King.

It can be said that he is the last card of the 'Nazgul' group.

Of course, it doesn't matter if the Witch King is defeated once. Anyway, it's just a matter of being resurrected one more time. It doesn't matter who he is defeated by. At most, it just weakens his morale a little, so that's what it should be.

But the specific place where he was defeated is important.

It works anywhere in the whole of Middle-earth, but not at the gate of Gondor.

If this was defeated in such a historic way, Gondor would have something to say in the future.

Come back.

Four of the Ringwraiths have clear origins, but no one knows who the remaining five are, including Levi. Even the elves or wizards may not know this matter.

"Witch King?"

"No, no, you're not."

At the crossroads, Levi stood up, stared closely at the Nazgul walking slowly over, and asked loudly:

"I have been waiting here for almost a day. Where is your leader? He is not at the crossroads at all. Where has he gone?"

The ring spirit did not answer, but slowly approached.

The afterglow of the setting sun reflected through his dark soul body on the back of the road, leaving some dim halo.

In front of the broken statue of the King of Gondor, he drew the broken sword from his back.

A broken sword that could only be used as a dagger due to its length.

"Are you going to use this thing to fight me?"

There was no response, and the Ringwraith remained silent. He looked at the person in front of him, and stepped forward step by step, with slow and steady steps.

"Don't speak."

Yes, these Ringwraiths do keep their mouths tightly shut when not necessary. If they have to open their mouths, they will most likely scream, to instill fear in the other side.

They are essentially a group of evil ghosts who have fallen and cannot be liberated. Although they retain their mobility and wisdom in life, their self-awareness has been eroded, and everything they do is for their master, which is Sauron.

"It doesn't matter."

Seeing that the approaching Nazgul had no desire to communicate, Levi also drew out his ancient elf sword - Nemesis.

"He doesn't dare to face me so he sends his men to die. This is indeed a good move. Maybe he can save a little bit of his face."

If it was just an unknown person who came to the door and screamed, the Witch King would definitely not pay attention to him, and he would be looked down upon at all.

But the person making the noise was Levi. Every move he made affected the nerves of many people, and what he did would spread very quickly.

The Witch-King must respond, no matter what.

"But what's the use?"

The light in the sky gradually dissipated.

When the last trace of light faded from the world, the figure of the Nazgul suddenly disappeared.

clang!

Levi turned around suddenly and used his nemesis to hold the broken sword that went straight to his neck.

Swish——

With a wave of the long sword, an unstoppable force came, and the Nazgul couldn't help but retreat, almost losing their grip on the weapon in their hands.

Block.

It's a pity that the disarm that followed failed.

"My skills have been maxed out a long time ago..."

"How about you try backstabbing me again?"

After hearing these words, the Ring Spirit looked up at the black-armored warrior in front of him. He felt a sense of oppression coming over him, and a long-awaited emotion called nervousness arose in his heart.

This feeling is just like when I was a human many years ago when I faced a giant beast. The only thing I could do was to try my best and risk my life.

As he raised his head, Levi rushed forward. Suddenly, the figure of the Ringwraith disappeared again, dodging his attack.

Time seemed to slow down at this moment - or perhaps the speed of the Ringwraith sped up. He landed on the crown of the broken statue, slowly drew out his bow, aimed at Levi's head, and shot one arrow after another, almost in the air. In an instant, five arrows were shot out in succession, and the arrow hit the head accurately.

Boom!

At this moment, Levi only felt his head suddenly dizzy, and his rune shield flashed five times in a row. Each time it flashed, he lost two or three shield points.

This wave of attacks actually cut off a small portion of the rune shield.

The attack power is quite high, but it doesn't break defense.

Turning his head to look at the location where the arrow hit, Levi quickly took out his bow and raised his hand and returned it.

The flaming arrow approached quickly, but the Nazgul only waved slightly, broke the sword with his hand, and chopped the arrow down from mid-air without even moving his feet.

"It's interesting."

Levi's thoughts became active, and his long-dormant fighting consciousness was finally called upon again today.

On the crown of the ruined statue, the Nazgul raised his bow, nocked the arrow, and was about to shoot downwards, when suddenly a floating hook hung on his armor.

Fishhook?

Suddenly, an irresistible strong pull came from the fishhook, and the Ringwraith fell directly from the statue, while Levi had already raised his sword and was waiting for him below.

"Do you know what baseball is?"

Just when this seemingly severe blow was about to fall on the Ring Spirit, the shadowy figure flashed again, and the Ring Spirit dissipated in mid-air. The next moment, it was behind Levi, and he repeated his old trick and took out the broken sword again. , Levi turned around and blocked with his backhand. The strong shock made the Nazgul's hand holding the broken sword freeze. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Levi struck again and directly knocked the broken sword aside.

The sound of iron weapons clashing sounded.

The Ring Spirit pounced almost instinctively, reaching for the broken sword on the ground with one hand. The movement was as fast as if it were accelerating, but Levi did not just watch, and immediately launched the sprint sword skill, and then With a burst of dust rising behind him, he chased after the Nazgul at an incredible speed, flashing afterimages.

When the Nazgul got the broken sword, Levi had already swung down the nemesis.

——The ability of the ring was activated, and the Nazgul's movement suddenly accelerated, but he only had time to block the nemesis with his broken sword. Levi continued to use force, so the broken sword with the long sword pressing the Nazgul kept approaching him.

roar!

In the end, the Ringwraith couldn't hold back a scream, but it didn't frighten Levi, but it was effective. This sound successfully emboldened the Ringwraith himself. He clenched the broken sword and used all his strength. Block Li Wei's sword and gain a chance for himself.

The figure once again disappeared from the real world, and the Ring Spirit escaped into the world of the dead, and reappeared in the distance the next moment. However, when he turned back to look at Levi's position, he found that Levi had also disappeared, and there was only a purple patch of land. particle.

The Ringwraith looked left and right blankly, and at a moment his heart suddenly tightened. A big hand grabbed his helmet without warning. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get rid of it. He tried to fight back, but in a hurry, he couldn't. There was no way to break the runic shield, but in the end he could only be dragged helplessly and hit hard against the base of the statue.

The edge is close at hand.

Crack.

At the critical moment, the Nazgul broke away from the hand and rolled to the side to avoid the stabbing sword. When he turned his head and looked again, he saw that the base of the stone sculpture was pierced by the sword like dirt.

Then, the sword moved.

Zira——

A harsh sound rang out, and the long sword inserted deeply into the stone scraped the base across a long ravine, and the Ringwraith had to roll sideways against the base to avoid this overbearing attack that tested the sword's body.

It was not until the entire base of the statue was cut open that the Nazgul finally got a chance to breathe.

"Uhhhh——!!"

A roar as loud as the wind came from the Nazgul's throat, and a short-handled axe-hammer condensed in his hand, attacking Levi at an extremely fast speed. When the ax-hammer met the breastplate - 'Boom! ’ There was a sound, and with this blow, even Li Wei, who was wearing the next alloy armor, actually took a small step back.

Although the hammer was small, the power it unleashed was no less powerful than the dwarf's heavy hammer.

Without giving the opponent a chance to combo, Levi raised his sword and fought hard with the Nazgul. The result was that they were evenly matched. The knockback II enchantment had an effect, and the pressure attached to the long sword was not inferior to the impact of the giant beast.

The two sides handed over again, and then the rumbling sound echoed at the intersection, like rolling thunder, so startled that the butterflies in the flowers could not fly safely.

As this bombardment and collision progressed, the pressure on both sides continued to increase. The evil power wrapped around the ax and hammer became thicker and stronger as the Nazgul swung, and Levi continued to hit with the combos. His attack power also increased each time, until after more than a dozen confrontations - his attack power was superimposed to the maximum limit.

At this time, the Ringwraith seemed to be full of strength and was ready to strike hard.

Boom!

A huge noise exploded at the intersection between the two, and the ax hammer in the Nazgul's hand dissipated, and the entire Nazgul was knocked back and rolled far away. He hurriedly got up and quickly raised his head to observe.

But it was still a step too late.

The next moment, a sword penetrated his chest through the armor, setting his spirit body on fire.

"ah--!!!"

Like other Nazgul, this Nazgul screams in agony when set ablaze.

He struggled to grab the sword on his chest with both hands and tried to pull it out, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move it at all.

Just because Levi hasn't let go yet.

The blood bar, which was not very thick, continued to plummet. The Nazgul dropped his hands on both sides and stopped resisting, seeming to have resigned himself to his fate.

"It's really interesting. Sauron is hiding a guy like you?"

Co-author: This guy was still fishing in Dol Guldur, right?

Or maybe it was because he ran too fast and he didn't have time to take action?

Who knows.

Through the blazing flames on the Nazgul, Levi looked carefully at the ring on his hand.

As expected, it should be one of the Nine Commandments of Humanity.

The Rings of Power are just as their names suggest. Each one of them has magical power. The reason why the dwarves have countless wealth is because the Seven Rings of the Dwarves have the ability to copy gold, which almost touches a certain law of the world.

At this moment, Levi had the urge to take off the ring and study it, but he became alert in an instant and put out this inexplicable thought.

No, no need.

"But does an ordinary ring have this kind of power..."

Recalling the abilities displayed by the Ring Spirit in front of him, Levi said meaningfully:

"It's interesting. You don't look like some unknown person. Although I haven't fought against the Witch King, I don't think he is that strong. After all, he doesn't even dare to come to the duel upon invitation."

"In my opinion, you are more suitable to be the leader of the Ringwraiths than him. Haven't you ever thought about stepping on the Witch King and replacing him?"

"Your master would be happy to see this scene."

For Sauron, there is absolutely no reason to stop his subordinates from becoming stronger for power.

Anyway, no matter how much trouble the Ringwraiths have, they will not die. No matter what the result is, they will still serve him in the end.

"I can help you do this."

Levi issued his own righteous temptation.

Of course, he was not trying to play any scheming power struggle here on a whim, nor did he want to support a Ringwraith as an insider - this kind of thing is simply impossible in the underlying logic.

'Trick you out and chop you all off. '

-This is his truest thought in his heart.

The Ringwraiths who continued to be burned by the flames did not reply, but kept his silence as always, but his expression told Levi that he was not at ease.

The feeling of the spirit being ignited is much more uncomfortable than the burning of the flesh.

"I have never seen such power in Dol Guldur. Who are you?"

"There will be records of a guy like you in history, or at least there will be a title."

Levi kept asking like a stand-up comedian, trying to get some useful information from the Ringwraith.

It's a pity that this Ringwraith was like a mute, and refused to say a word no matter what.

Maybe he is really a mute, or maybe in the long time of being enslaved by Sauron, his ability to communicate independently has been wiped out.

Forget it, there is no time.

The blood bar can't hold up.

Levi shook his head and gave up asking.

He drew his sword and let the Ringwraith fall to the ground and continue to burn, and no longer looked at him.

"Unfortunately, there is nothing."

When the blood bar burned out, the Ringwraith finally took advantage of this gap to say the only sentence since meeting Levi.

Suddenly, a shadow swept across the sky, and the seriously injured spirit was pulled back to the evil black tower of Mordor by a force, waiting for the next resurrection.

Levi turned his head suddenly, staring at the black cloak that had been burned to ashes on the ground and the empty shell of the armor that had lost its soul support.

Did he speak just now? Was it an auditory hallucination?

Interesting.

Ringwraiths, each one of them can really give people different surprises.

"A powerful warrior who is unknown..."

"Unfortunately, I still couldn't use my full strength."

The golden apple was not eaten, the potion was not drunk, and many items in the backpack were not used. Even the rune shield was not broken.

Although his loss was not great, it depends on the specific situation. This Ringwraith does have many unexpected and powerful means.

If it weren't for the rune shield, the armor on his body alone, the ability to shoot five arrows at his head almost in an instant could have left him with only half of his health.

Half disabled in an instant.

In addition to the axe hammer that becomes more powerful the more it hits, and the ability to poison with a roar... If it weren't for the sword skills that provide layer-by-layer power bonus, it would be easy to be defeated at this moment.

——Those seemingly insignificant accumulations finally showed their effects today.

It was the combination of those items that were not particularly strong when taken out individually that made Levi what he is today.

Click.

The small movement beside him attracted Levi's attention.

Next to the remaining armor of the Ringwraith, a broken sword slipped to the ground, with many traces of rust on it.

After a slight pause, Levi picked up the sword.

[Broken Straight Sword]: Attack +1.

"That's it?"

He used this thing to fight himself?

Where is the Morgul sword that each Ringwraith has?

Levi took a deep breath, and for some reason, he felt a little aggrieved.

Shaking his head, he put away the broken sword and returned to the territory to continue digging underground space and building various facilities.

No enemies came to attack that night.

When the sun rose, a ranger stationed near the crossroads rode across Osgiliath and headed straight for the White City Palace.

Gondor was not peaceful that day.

"Alas!"

At night, Turgon suddenly sat up from the bed, looking at the gauze curtain above his head, then staring at the floor, unable to close his eyes.

After a while, he put on his coat, walked to the terrace and looked at the lush starry sky outside, sighing again.

The news from the crossroads quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of the White City, and everyone was asking when the hero who killed the Ringwraiths would return.

That Levi, he really let Gondor breathe a sigh of relief.

"Why did I treat him like that in the palace that day."

Turgon rubbed his face, feeling distressed.

Someone will not be able to sleep tonight.
