Act 164 The Black Knight
The black knights walked creaking on the ice and filed in. Laurenna, Ferras, Lenaret and Shiduo raised their hands one by one, each with a black crystal-like long sword on their necks. The black knight holding the sword dragged a long Black velvet cloak, expressionless face, like a golem made by a wizard.
The ice cave was in a mess, and the criss-crossed sword marks on the ice proved the fierce battle that had taken place before. The black knight dragged out the bodies of two of their men, leaving a bright red mark on the ice.
One of the particularly tall black knights came to Kou Hua. The girl looked back with light silver eyes without fear, but she could only see the shadow under the opponent's hood covering a pair of particularly bright eyes and a slender chin. Half cheek. The black knight stared at Kou Hua's snow-white neck for a while, as if he was considering whether to put the sword on it. "Please get out of the way." Kou Hua said in a crisp voice.
"Miss Kou Hua." The knight put his hand on his chest and bowed slightly to Kou Hua. The heavy armor made a clanking sound when it rubbed against the chainmail shirt underneath.
"Are you planning to treat me the same way you treated them?" Kou Hua glanced at Shi Duo, who was biting her lower lip in fear, and asked calmly.
"Don't dare." The knight lowered his head and replied.
Kou Hua smiled slightly. She knew that these people were followers of Dusk. They respected her mostly for the sake of her 'sister'. Perhaps they thought that she was the eldest daughter of Isis, the leader of the monsters of the Twilight Legion. If mortals worship gods and Martha, then there is a place for Dark Kouhua among the idols these people fanatically believe in.
Although she was simple-minded, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, understanding that they just wanted to believe the 'facts' they wanted to believe.
"Then I ask you to let them go, okay?" she asked softly.
"I'm afraid not."
"Aren't you afraid that I will be angry? I will tell my sister." Kou Hua made a serious face.
"Lord Kou Hua, she won't blame us for this. These people," he looked back, "are all your enemies."
"I won't fight anyone. They are not my enemies."
"That's at least your sister's, right, our little princess." The corners of the knight's mouth raised.
Kou Hua closed his mouth and glanced at Shi Duo, who was trembling slightly: "Then at least let her go. She is just a child and has nothing to do with you."
The knight looked back.
Nodding, the black knight beside Shi Duo retracted his sword. Miss Scholar slowly slipped to the ground as if paralyzed, and then cried out. The knight frowned and glanced outside, but the battle outside was going on in full swing, and no one noticed the noise here. He breathed a sigh of relief, turned back to Kou Hua and said, "Please stay here, Miss Kou Hua."
Kou Hua glanced at him. He didn't answer yes or no, he just stepped back and sat down. She looked at Shiduo, who was crying into a ball, and gave her a comforting look. The latter looked at her gratefully, and his sobs gradually became smaller.
The knight nodded with satisfaction, raised his right hand and gestured to his colleagues. A small group of black knights armed with longbows came up from behind, and they crossed the knight's position. Approach the cave entrance cautiously. Haruze watched this scene in confusion. When he saw the black knight approaching the cave entrance, he suddenly realized what they were going to do. He suddenly became frightened and opened his mouth, trying to scream. But until then. Two feet suddenly appeared in front of him. He raised his head and saw the knight looking down at him: "If I were you, your highness, the little prince, I would shut up obediently."
…
"What is he doing?"
The little female dragon and Medisa lay side by side under an ice crevice. Not far from them, Enlek was limping towards an exit in front. He seemed to be seriously injured. Every time he dragged his steps forward, he would stop and rest. He doesn't look like a duke now, but like a beggar. His fluffy silver-gray hair is messy, the wrinkles on his forehead are tightly knitted together, his face is gray, his face is covered with oil and sweat, and his chest is like a broken bellows. Ups and downs sharply, he rested for a while, then managed to climb up while holding on to the wall, and continued walking forward.
But he didn't go very far when he fell onto the slippery and cold ground. He struggled to crawl for a distance and then stopped again. This time, Aloz and Medisa watched him stop for a long time, at least for a quarter of an hour, before he sat up dejectedly. After a moment of silence, he stood up unsteadily and continued walking towards the exit.
"He seems to be going somewhere."
"Where?"
"have no idea."
"He seems to know his way around here."
Aloz and Medisa looked at each other, nodded, and then climbed up from under the ice crevice together and followed them sneakily. Enlek didn't realize at all that someone was following him behind him. After he walked out of the exit, he continued to move in a certain direction along the winding paths and corridors. He seemed to be really familiar with this place. Every time he encountered a fork in the road, he just hesitated. After a while, he chose a direction.
As the commander of the Silver Elves, Medissa had a strong sense of direction. After a few times, she judged that Enlek should be heading north. Not long after, the traces of artificial buildings in front disappeared, and what appeared in front of Anlek was a naturally formed glacier fissure. Aloz and Medisa saw him resting for a moment at the entrance of the glacier, and took something out from under his clothes. After taking two bites of the thing, Aloz chewed hard and saw clearly that it must be a piece of dried meat.
"He's replenishing his energy." She said excitedly, "It means we are almost at our destination. He didn't do this before."
"What is he doing to replenish his strength?" Medisa was a little confused.
"Who knows," Aloz said, as carefree as ever, "We'll find out if we follow him and see."
"Should we restrain him first?" Medisa thought for a moment and felt a little uneasy.
"No need." Aloz shook his head: "What if we haven't arrived yet? This guy is very stubborn. He will definitely not lead the way for us."
The little silver elf princess thought about it, so she nodded.
While the two were chatting quietly, the Duke had already devoured the food in his hands and took out a handful of snow-white powder from his pocket. He held it in his hand for a while, then frowned and swallowed it with difficulty. Both Aloz and Medisa could see clearly that it was snow. It must have been preserved by Anlek in the ice crevice. Fortunately, the temperature underground of the ice layer did not melt it. However, this move further confirmed Aloz's guess.
After drinking the snow water. Enlek coughed twice, obviously unable to bear it. But he still stood up slowly and leisurely, without much hesitation, and walked directly towards the glacier step by step. Seeing this scene, Aloz became excited again. She hurriedly waved to Medisa, and the two little girls followed behind.
The glacier is very long and narrow, with a faint blue light shining through, and we have only gone a little over half. Aloz suddenly turned around and patted Medisa on the shoulder. "Medissa, did you hear anything?" In the dark environment, her golden eyes looked particularly bright and sparkling inside. Medissa glanced at her and nodded, benefiting from the long Pointed ears. The elf's hearing is very outstanding, and she has long heard the sounds coming from the other side of the glacier.
"It's lightning."
"It means we are in the right place." Aloz replied with some excitement: "He must have some conspiracy, but Lord Martha is obviously on our side, he is dead."
Medisa's expression was a little strange. She looked at Aloz with a somewhat anxious expression: "Anyway, let's go there quickly. Sister Aloz, I'm worried that it will be delayed if we are late."
"What's wrong? What are you anxious about?"
"I...I seemed to hear the Lord's voice."
"What!?"
The exit at the other end of the glacier is located on the cliff. Outside the exit, there is a deep gorge about twenty or thirty meters long. At this moment, outside the gorge, lightning seems to be weaving into a terrifying storm. It is raging throughout the canyon. And precisely because of the existence of the gorge, it is difficult to see the glacier exit in this direction from the platform where Dark Kou Hua is located. On the contrary, standing at the exit, Enlek can have a clear view of the battle situation below.
His pale, skull-like claws were clasped on the ice, and he looked at the fierce battle between Veronica, Mephistopheles, Ciel, Brando, and Kou Hua below with a cold face, and a sneer surfaced on his face. The gray face seemed to have lost all its previous decadence at this moment. But suddenly, he felt his heart beating violently again. He quickly pressed his hand on his heart, with cold sweat on his face, as if he was receiving instructions from someone. He nodded cautiously, nodded again, shook his head again, and then frowned. He frowned and nodded one last time.
"I understand, Master Kou Hua."
"Yes."
Finally, he muttered these two sentences as if to himself. Behind him, Aloz and Medisa, who were hiding among the criss-crossing crevices on the glacier, saw him pull out a dagger from his boot. Then carve and draw on the ice. However, after a short moment, they saw clearly that he was drawing a circular magic circle.
"Kou Hua should have summoned him here. No wonder he can distinguish the maze-like path below." Medisha suddenly said: "Sister Aloz, can you identify the magic circle he drew?"
"It seems to be a guidance circle."
"Guiding the magic circle?" Medisa felt nervous when she saw the critical battle situation below. She wanted to call out the unicorn immediately and fly down to fight alongside Brando. But fortunately, she still understands what is more important. The lord has not noticed that Enlek is here at all now. It is difficult to defend against hidden arrows with open guns, so she must restrain Anlek.
"Have you seen those large magic circles, such as the Silver Elf's war teleportation magic circle? Large magic circles cannot be activated purely by personal magic power. This kind of guidance magic circle is a kind of automatic gathering of magic power to activate large magic magic circles. Ritual magic circle," the golden flames flashed in Aloz's eyes, and she licked the pointed canines with her tongue: "I understand. The Cruz people's Flame Door, the stolen materials must be on him, Kou Hua She wants him to open a portal here and summon demons to fight for her.”
"We must not let him succeed." Medisa couldn't help blurting out.
"That's natural."
The little female dragon sneered and nodded proudly. If she had a tail, it would have reached the sky by now.
Anlek panted and finished drawing the first magic circle. However, for a large teleportation circle like the Flame Gate, one guidance magic circle would definitely not be enough. He wiped a handful of oil and sweat and came to the side tremblingly. , getting ready to start drawing the second magic circle. But this is the time. He saw a pair of shoes, to be exact, they were a pair of light brown calfskin boots, with the tips of the boots inlaid with iron sheets and plated with silver. He was very familiar with these boots because it was the owner of these boots. He would definitely remember that he had snatched the 'Heart of the Dragon' from him.
He suddenly froze there.
"Keep drawing." The little female dragon's voice said with a smile, "Why don't you draw anymore? I think your drawing of the magic circle is not bad."
Enlek suddenly started to tremble. He seemed to be possessed by a demon and roared at Aloz. But the latter remained motionless and just looked at him with a smile. Before he could even take two steps forward, he saw something hit his feet and he fell solidly onto the ice. Anlek screamed. Then he felt something put on his neck.
He didn't need to look back to understand what it was because he had already seen the long silver shuttle attached to his cheek.
"Human, do you feel very regretful now?" The little female dragon was so proud that she simply placed the star-shaped stone on the ground, then sat on it, looking down at the embarrassed Anlek, and said with a smile: "But you can rest assured that your life will not be in danger for the time being. I will use you to make a deal, haha. Let me see what Brando will do now!"
The little female dragon was very proud, but Medissa was not as optimistic as she was.
In fact, the little silver elf princess called out with some worry: "Sister Aloz"
"What's wrong?"
"Look over there."
"What?"
"Is that the Black Knight over there...?"
…
After Brando placed Hipamira, he did not return directly to the platform, but went around from the criss-crossing pipes under the platform to the back of Dark Kou Hua. He knew that Kou Hua had automatically eliminated the divine barrier at this time. Although his attack power had increased a thousand times, his defense power had been greatly reduced. After all, the other party is not a true god and cannot achieve an absolute gap in the true sense.
At this time, Dark Kou Hua finally noticed that there was one less person on the battlefield in front of her. She subconsciously turned around, but only saw Brando's figure disappearing in that direction for a moment.
That moment. She felt danger instinctively.
As if subconsciously, the dense electric light quickly converged from the front half of the platform to the back half. Although even Kou Hua herself couldn't say clearly why she felt that Brando, who was not yet enlightened, would be better than the extreme realm above her head. The Sword Master is even more dangerous, but after all, she was once a demigod, and now she also holds the domain and priesthood of Milos. Her perception is a thousand times sharper, and her premonitions are a thousand times more accurate. Most gods believe in their own premonitions, so Just like Martha can see the dusk of the gods and the world at the beginning of the creation of the world.
The dense white light beams gathered together like an electric wall, crackling and hitting the platform, forming dozens of dazzling golden lines in the entire rear half of the platform, as if even the platform was melting.
But these staggered lightnings failed to stop Brando.
Everyone saw that Brando's figure was like a ghost, disappearing and appearing continuously. Lightning passed through his figure, like passing through a shattered phantom. In an instant, he had passed through the lightning storm. Come to Kou Hua. When Brando used his sword against Charles, no one had noticed the tiny details on the battlefield, but now, it couldn't be clearer.
"Flash Sword" Veronica almost lost her words.
In the ice cave, Lenaret and Shi Duo couldn't help but look extremely surprised.
Brando has already slashed at Kou Hua with one sword.
But at this time, the dark Kou Hua breathed a sigh of relief. She stared coldly at the sword edge that was getting closer and closer to Brando. Her tone was so cold that it was almost scary: "The dragon clan's space manipulation skills are also derived from the Twilight clan. Yi, you are actually doing tricks in front of me!" As soon as she finished speaking, countless lightnings intertwined in front of her, as if even the space was vibrating, blocking Brando's sword.
At that moment Veronica, Lenaret and Shiduo were almost stunned.
The flashing sword was blocked.
This is almost unimaginable. The swordsmanship of the Flame King Gilt is a swordsmanship that is regarded as a god in Cruz. Once this swordsmanship inherited from the Dragon Clan locks on the target, its target will either end up being hit. , or dodge within the thousandth of a second after the sword blade appears from the crack in space. Apart from this, there is almost no third possibility.
However, right in front of them, Flash Sword was interrupted midway.
The trembling space in the thunder is just like the trembling hearts of everyone present. What kind of strength is this?
However, among all the people, only Brando could keep his mentality unchanged. Although he was slightly surprised, he understood after all that the Flash Sword was actually just a secret skill of the Dragon Clan. In fact, there is still a big gap between the Dragon Clan and beings at the level of the daughter of Isis. Therefore, it is not surprising that Kou Hua has the skills to counter the Flash Sword. After all, the Dragon Clan and the Twilight Clan are also old rivals.
But just when everyone thought he was going to return without success, Brando suddenly withdrew the sword of the earth, and then slashed at Kou Hua with another sword.
"Again?"
The dark Kou Hua couldn't help laughing angrily when he saw that this guy was so ungrateful.
