Chapter 17: The Battle Begins
Without any stratagem at all, the Fire Mist Warriors, including the two Demon God's warriors, 'Pale and Trembling Maiden' and 'Flame-Burning Eye Sruper', were dominated by intense anger. After the 'Knight King' Artoria gave the order to charge, they challenged the masquerade ball directly.
The props turned into a gust of wind and galloped through the jungle. Once on the battlefield, the hearts of these 'contractors' of the Red World Demon King will turn into a sword. A sharp, shiny sword. It was a sword without the slightest confusion.
After launching a hasty attack without reconnaissance and recuperation, Artoria had to admit that such a move lacked careful consideration. It is also helpless to be accused of acting rashly. But she is by no means a brave and unscrupulous person. Although she expected that the Red World Demon God Ritual Serpent and its family 'Masquerade' would be a difficult opponent to deal with, she did not despair, because they were not without the slightest chance of winning.
The sight of her compatriots being used as food was deeply imprinted in Artoria's mind, and the desperate wails of 100,000 compatriots lingered in her ears. Be sure to defeat the Serpent of Sacrifice. Even if you are seriously injured and your vitality is badly damaged, you have to fight it. This is the duty of being a knight, an inescapable obligation.
There were less than a hundred Fire Mist Warriors, but they almost included the real backbone and top masters of the current Fire Mist Warriors, and the charging Fire Mist Warriors used those strong men as arrows almost instantly broke through the defense line of the apostles who spontaneously organized because of their yearning for the "Great Bondage", and rushed towards the location of the Xingli Palace. However, at this time, the official members of the masquerade appeared.
Commander Chiyu, a member of the Snake of the Creation and Ritual Rites and one of the three pillars of the masquerade, is the first to stop Artoria, the "Knight King", and her contract demon "Wind of Victory" Pandoragon who is at the forefront of the battle.
The gigantic Divine Iron Ruyi descended from the sky, stopping Artoria's steps.
The dust that flew up on the ground behind the girl was soaked with plenty of moisture. The dampness was not caused by the rain, but by the red blood, the blood of the apostles.
"You're finally here, I've been waiting for a long time. However, Artoria, it is not your style to attack so recklessly! ”
Huland greeted the silvery figure with a hearty smile. The gigantic Divine Iron Ruyi easily held off the 'Wind of Victory' that was entwined by the invisible wind.
Although the staff officers of the Three Pillars and the Great Imperial Witch were not there, it is estimated that preparations for the implementation of the "Great Lock" are underway. But it was only these powerful demon kings who were famous in the Red World in front of the Fire Mist Warriors. , it is enough to resist the combined assault of the Fire Mist Warriors.
For example, the "Pale and Trembling Dancing Queen" Sandra was stopped by a headless body with a whole iron plate painted on the iron plate, and the iron giant "Iwakai" Ulikmumi who turned the heavy wall-like iron plate directly into the shape of a body and hands and feet, and Matilda, the "flame-eyed crusader", was named "Rainbow Wings", a new demon king named "Rainbow Wings". There are also the ancient demon king "Iron Dragon" Illujanica, who opened the miasma wall and stopped the rest of the fire and mist warriors from charging, as well as the high-ranking Red World Demon King who swore allegiance to the serpent of the creation of the zào god and ritual, "Lan Hoof" Fei Kelu, "Evil Egg" Gali, and "Golden Palm of Desire" Mamon, etc.
Having lost its previous aura, the Ritual Serpent Divine Body entrenched in the sky appeared even more majestic and massive, putting a huge amount of pressure on the group of Fire Mist warriors below. There were quite a few fire mist warriors with weak willpower who were intimidated by the divine might and had lost the will to resist, and then their bodies were divided by the apostles who swarmed up. This also calmed down the Fire Mist Warriors who were originally carried away by anger.
It's a pity that at this time, the other apostles of the masquerade who were previously defeated by their impact had a thousand changes. As the backbone, Xiuland and other demon kings have begun to regroup, just surrounding the Fire Mist Warriors in the middle.
The Fire Mist Warriors, who gradually gathered together, fell into a stalemate. The first to bear the brunt are naturally the generals of both sides, the 'Knight King' Artoria and Chiyou.
The samurai in armor fought each other in the shadow of swords and swords. The feet that stepped on the ground crushed the earth. The air pressure brought by wielding the weapon cuts off the building. The wind whispered. In the face of a supreme force that is completely opposed to the laws of the world's physics, the air around him emitted a nervous whimper.
"It is truly a powerful god of war, and it is the honor of the victorious king to be your enemy." From the ornate sword in Artoria's hand came the cold voice of the mechanical cold of Pandoragon of the Wind of Victory. A frenzied storm raged across the land, destroying and trampling on it. Thunder tore through the sky, and waves shattered the earth. This is simply a reproduction of myths.
Touch!
In the next moment, the blade of the "Divine Iron Ruyi" like a battering ram stabbed fiercely on the invisible sword, and the huge force shook Artoria away. The Thousand Variations Xiuland stood with his troops, and for him, the killing on the battlefield was as ordinary as usual. As a warrior who lives and dies on the battlefield, fighting enemies is as skilled as using a knife and fork.
The black-armored giant, who looked like a majestic black knight, Chi You, tapped his helmet lightly with the spear on his shoulder, and stood in the middle of the road leading to the Star Palace, sneering.
"What's the matter, Artoria, your attacks are useless."
"......" faced with Thuland's ridicule, she had no room to refute. He has fought for thirty rounds, but he has not hit his opponent once.
Chi You danced the divine iron in his right hand and rushed straight over. The dancing blades draw a fairly wide range of attacks, and their strength and speed are in no way inferior to those of atmospheric thunder. The arbitrarily deformed Shentie Ruyi has many more moves that are not found in ordinary marksmanship.
"This sword ......" Although it was to press Artoria and fight again, Chiyou, who flashed the invisible sword again, also secretly complained in his heart
Around the sword, a large amount of air was gathered together by the Freedom Method, and the air that wrapped the sword formed an incredible refraction of light, so it was completely invisible. In melee combat, its effect is very noticeable.
Shuland is attacked by an invisible sword, and his attack is blocked by an equally invisible sword. It is understandable that Thuland is anxious. Even if he could judge Artoria's attacks by Guò Artoria's movements. He also couldn't sneak attack because he couldn't see the blade.
Therefore, Shuland can only be estimated by guò to keep himself out of Artoria's attack range. And the flashy combo attack can only take effect at this time. Although he was able to block every attack of the girl, he still hadn't found a chance to give his opponent a fatal blow.
"This woman. . . It's really good......"
Looking squarely at the opponent he had encountered, feeling that it was time for him to show his true strength, a bright smile appeared on Chi You's face. Then, he noticed several Fire Mist Warriors behind him. One of them, a fire mist warrior covered in plum-red fire powder, caught his attention.
"Xuanyuan, are you here too?"
