Chapter 290: Racing
Since the entire shrine is located in the space of the arena, it is obvious that it has long been ineffective in sacrificing to the gods, and with the Iron Knight Kifred in front of him, Green guesses that the entire shrine should be the place where the arena stores the rewards - or rather, the place where the demon king stored the loot back then.
All in all, there is a great treasure in front of you.
"It's like a vault."
Green muttered, thinking that there might be a treasure in it, he was excited, but what made him care more was the location of the little fox. Looking at the size of the shrine, it almost occupies the entire floating island, and if the tear bells are on this island, I am afraid that they are hiding somewhere in the shrine at this moment.
First, he had to enter the shrine.
Kifred looked down at Grimm and the others, apparently noticing that they were not coming, but strangely enough, he was just standing quietly at the top of the stairs, but he didn't mean to make a move. Green was puzzled for two seconds, then suddenly thought of something.
So he stepped on the stone staircase and took a step up.
The Iron Knight's gaze fell on Grimm, motionless.
"What is he doing?" The little ball of smoke floated on Green's shoulder and asked curiously.
"I can probably guess, but I need to verify it." Green said, tapping his right leg on the ground twice, and the scarab that was holding his calf immediately climbed down, and climbed down the side of the stone staircase with its small thin legs in the direction of the Iron Knight.
“Fus-ele!”
The scarab beetle was still some distance away from Kifried, and Green suddenly raised his left hand, and the high concentration of elemental energy in his hand instantly gathered, and then with a slight force, he flew towards the Iron Knight. Kifred stared at the oncoming magic punch, almost waiting to be hit in the face. only to suddenly bow his head and dodge. Unfortunately, he miscalculated Green's magical abilities, and the incompletely constructed spell exploded directly before him, knocking the Iron Knight over.
"Follow me." With a successful move, Green quickly ran up the stone ladder with Ah Bu and the little smoke ball. The scarab at the front had reached the top of the stairs and staggered behind the Iron Knight, and Kiefried fell to the ground. Immediately noticing the movement of the gem, he got up as if nothing happened, ignoring Green and the others who were about to reach the top of the stairs, and a blade popped out of the arm of the metal armor, slashing down in the direction of the gem.
"Wait for me here."
Climbing up the ladder, Green directly ordered Unhappy and Little Smoke Ball to stand by while joining the battle. Taking advantage of the Iron Knight Kifried's efforts to deal with the scarabs, Green glanced at his surroundings, and there was a circular clearing at the top of the stairs. The path at the front must lead to the next scene, and that location is also the target that the Scarab Gem is desperately crawling towards.
Bang –
The heavy blade slashed into the ground, not leaving a single scar at all, but shattering and splashing the entire stone slab like a sledgehammer. Green hung far behind, the Iron Knight made the corners of his eyes jump with every attack, the back shell of the scarab beetle was very effective against sharp weapon defense, but there was nothing to be done against this pure power. The boy didn't want the gem to be smashed into a crunchy patty.
The scarab beetle may also have realized that the bucket behind it was a bit dangerous, so it sped up its crawling speed. The arthropods, which are no less hard than metal, move quickly on the ground, and even plow the ground with countless tiny scratches.
"Left!"
Seeing that victory was in sight, Green saw the Iron Knight leap up from the ground suddenly, the blades on his arms slashing at the scarab beetle side by side, and hurriedly shouted a warning gem. The scarab beetle was not slow to react, and the row of arthropods on the left violently exerted force. The round body immediately rolled flat on the ground, flashing to the side just before the boom erupted. The strong double slash caused an impact, and before the gem's body could be stabilized, it was directly blown away by the air current, and the result was impartial. It landed exactly where Green had asked it to climb beforehand.
The well-behaved scarab beetle braked sharply to stop, and then strictly followed Green's instructions, and turned around in a small circle, staring directly at the Iron Knight with small black eyes.
He didn't move, as if he was provocative.
"Run! Run, why don't you run, it's so dangerous! ”
At the door of the stairs, the little smoke ball was anxious to go over to help, but the unhappy wooden face next to it was motionless, and it didn't dare to disobey Green's orders casually, so it had to keep shouting in the back.
However, the gem remained unmoved.
Kifrid, the Iron Knight, rises from the ground. Falling at that height, even the ground was completely destroyed, but the blades of his arms were still intact, and you can imagine the hardness of the raw metal.
If the gem had been stabbed by this knife, I am afraid that it might not have survived.
Green clutched the king's choice as he pulled out his scabbard, staring at Kifried, and if he didn't do what he wanted, he would immediately rush over with speed and speed to block it.
However, to the surprise of the little smoke ball and the relief of Green, the Iron Knight Kifried, the magical creature bound by the contract and responsible for the items he protects, actually took a step forward and stopped near the edge of the tangent point of the circular clearing. He stretched out his arm and probed the scarab gem with the blade of his blade - the distance was about a centimeter or so, maybe he could have hit it with a bent down, but it was this little distance that the Iron Knight actually gave up.
He retracted his blade and stepped back.
"Sure enough!" Grimm's eyes were overjoyed, and out of the intelligence of following the miracle, he had been guessing that Kifried's protection had a scope, but he didn't expect it to be so.
As a result, in the eyes of the young duke, the Iron Knight Kifred quickly changed from "an enemy that needs to be defeated with great effort" to "an enemy who does not need to fight".
However, before Green could finish his thoughts, the Iron Knight Kifred began to act again. Restricted by the range, he couldn't make a move against the scarab beetle outside the area, but he had already noticed the movement behind him, it twisted its body silently, and with a finger of the blade, there seemed to be a layer of power jet behind the steel armor, and the atomized air immediately rolled backwards, forming white lines.
Groove –
The Iron Knight charged in a straight line, and Green shouted in his heart to avoid it. [Steam Power] is the Iron Knight Kifried's inherent skill, and the acceleration effect is no less than Green's instantaneous step, and even far exceeds several times in duration, after all, no matter how strong the human muscles are, they can't compare to the consumption of machinery. In an instant. The Iron Knight rushed to Grimm like a metal bison.
Speed Force!
Without saying a word, Green directly opened the awakening, and quickly retreated backwards, and the two blades of the Iron Knight were thumped into the stone pillar behind him with a bang at that moment, directly destroying the entire giant pillar that the four of them hugged together. The young man flashed to the side, wiping a cold sweat from his head, thinking that this guy was probably in a bad mood if he didn't catch the gem. Otherwise, you won't consume your energy when you come up, but fortunately you are a speed player, and you can't give half a life to someone else if you are like this.
Seeing that the Iron Knight was about to make another move, Green hurriedly retreated in an instant, turning back to the position of the entrance of the stairs.
"Green!" Little Smoke Ball exclaimed, "I'm so worried! ”
Green didn't answer, he reached out and pinched its limp body, and his stronger right arm stopped the heavier bone frame, "You two hold it tight." We rushed straight over. "Then awaken and open again, the speed force is attached, and the instant sprint!
The Iron Knight immediately stood on the spot where Grimm had to pass forward, his two metal arms raised high.
"This way—"
The blade of the knife is cross-slashed by the strong wind.
"-No!"
The two fiery red slashes were like blood-stained crescents, plowed deep into the ground and crossed. Green felt the scorching heat in his face, and did not hesitate to activate the speed force field, and at that moment the speed was distorted. Fei also dodged the angle of the knife wave attack, narrowly avoiding the flames. The navigation arrow in his hand was thrown directly to the ground, and with a little footstep, a ninety-degree turn directly bypassed the Iron Knight Kifried, and then quickly headed in the direction behind him.
The slash of the flames flew out of the shrine, and exploded with a bang, thump, thump, and the trees that blocked it, whether they were arbors or fir trees, exploded in turn. In addition to the flying of wood chips, a path more than ten feet wide appeared in the forest, and at a glance you could even see the edge of the floating island, directly exposing the entire shrine.
I kept looking at the scarab beetle here, and I didn't know if I felt a trace of fear. Gently shook the compound wing film under the back shell.
The attack he was proud of missed misses, and the Iron Knight Kifred didn't open his mouth or complain, just turned and immediately began to accelerate. Compared to the mist just now, this time the concentration was greater, and it was obvious that he had adjusted the energy output, intending to cut Grimm completely.
Green didn't say a word, adjusted his awakening power to twice the consumption, and ran wildly.
The race between the two takes place in this circular open space, which is not too wide.
A man and a knight are like a white line and a red line chasing each other in a circular clearing, although it is only for a moment, but that scene is really worthy of the photographer's high-speed lens to record. On the ancient marble canvas, the white mist that spreads out is followed by the black armor, and the red and yellow flashes in front extend like a thunderbolt.
However, the young duke who was being chased would not have this kind of leisure.
He couldn't have known how wonderful it would be to look down on the scene from above, and even if he did, he would have rolled his eyes—after all, the Iron Knight Kifred had completely exceeded his expectations. The X-shaped slash just now was unheard of and unseen in following miracles, and it was obvious that the Iron Knight was stronger in the real world than in the game, and he didn't expect the error of this information at all.
The speed of awakening power is twice as fast, and it is also constantly being pulled in.
Triple the speed!
Green, who increased his speed again, couldn't rest assured at all, he clearly felt that the iron knight behind him was still chasing him to death.
Do you want to turn on the five-speed speed?
Green's heart was pounding, and the scarab in his eyes was rapidly enlarged, which meant that he was about to get out of Kifried's guard, but unfortunately, he didn't have any extra speed power to consume.
"Ahh
The Iron Knight suddenly shouted, and Green subconsciously turned his head-
Oops!
The young duke's face changed suddenly, for Kifred was the same as he had seen it before, and there was no surprise at all, and the shout was just a trap to attract his attention. And the moment he turned around, even though he always remembered to run as hard as he could, the nerves that had lost his vision were still reflected to his legs, slowing his movements even a little.
The Iron Knight Kifred keenly captured this, and his back slammed into flames, blue fireballs exploding with a thud, and his speed increased to its apex in an instant.
The distance between the two was directly compressed to zero.
Green's breath stagnated—
At that moment, the skeleton warrior who was being held by Green just turned around. It glanced at the Iron Knight faintly, then shrunk its leg and stretched out, its right leg bone pressed straight against the jet-black mechanical breastplate.
It kicked the Iron Knight!
With a snap, the unhappy leg bone burst and shattered due to the reaction force, but it was this delay that Green threw down the navigation arrow again. Then, it was as if someone suddenly grabbed his leg and pulled it hard, and the whole person's center of gravity was unbalanced and fell to the ground with a pop.
The Iron Knight Kifried's pursuit came to an abrupt end.
Green, Little Smoke Ball, and unhappy, the three finally escaped from Kifried's protection under the trend of inertia, but the rolling posture was inevitably wolf, staggering and slumping on the ground, especially Green, gasping for breath, with the illusion of running a lifetime of road.
“…… You've gotten through my levels. ”
The Iron Knight spoke slowly, the steam around him gradually dissipating. The blades of both arms also snapped back into the gauntlets.
"I failed."
With his upper body lying on the ground and his lower body folded against the wall, Green raised his head to look at Kifred, and the Iron Knight looked like a big iron shell, no longer aggressive. He breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately remembered the last Skeleton Warrior's kick.
"No!"
Green got up in a panic and ran towards Unhappy, who was lying face down on the stone guardrail not far away. He chuckled in his heart, and a terrifying guess entered his brain. However, he didn't dare to think so, he forced himself to endure the pounding of his heart. Reach out and turn the Skeleton Warrior around—
Ah Bu looked up at him, his face expressionless for eternity.
"Luna, you're scared the hell out of me......"
The young duke sat down on the ground, and for a moment he thought his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
He suddenly felt that he was not mentally prepared for anything. To lose anyone who has something to do with you.
Whether it's a relative, a friend, a subordinate, or a pet.
Thankfully, I'm not happy to be alive.
— or rather "dead".
"Run...... So fast...... I'm so dizzy......"
The small smoke ball floated over slowly, and the two eyes used to sell cuteness were full of circles.
Green reached out and pulled the small cigarette ball to his shoulder, felt movement in his leg again, and looked down to see the scarab beetle obediently lying back on his calf as a leg guard, and suddenly thought together. Reach out and pull Abu's skull. The latter was provoked by the young man and his head fell together, so he simply turned his face away and stared silently in the other direction.
The mood of sudden loss suddenly got better again.
"Whew...... Well, it's good to finally arrive safely. Green stood up, looked down at the unhappy man who only had one arm and one leg left, shrugged helplessly, and picked it up: "You knelt after the first hurdle, it's really like your usual demeanor." But don't worry, as a hero, I can't slack off on the restoration work, and I'll go back and find the bones of those higher creatures for you to connect, it's really not possible, just weld the prosthetic limbs according to the process of the war lord. ”
He turned and bowed slightly to Kifred, who was standing silently, "I'm sorry, I'm here." ”
After all, it is a loophole style of play, and in the face of this sad Iron Knight in the past, Green is still quite embarrassed.
Kifred didn't respond, and said, "I won't stop the road from the future, please come in." Then he turned around, walked to the side of the circular clearing, and stopped, and the whole person let out a roar of the machine closing, and then there was no movement.
"Is he dead?" The little smoke ball that came over asked Green.
The young duke shook his head: "Far away, maybe that's his lifelong wish." In his heart, he was thinking about whether he could do something for this former rookie in swordsmanship when he returned.
Turning around, there was a passage surrounded by flowers in front of me, and the treasure chest at the end was so clearly placed in front of me.
"Now, let's see what the reward is worth for this trip!" (To be continued......)
