As time passed, Artoria had fewer and fewer enemies around her, and in the end, only the bandit leader was left gritting her teeth to support herself. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

And the reason why he was able to persevere to the end was because Artoria deliberately showed mercy to the sword, and more importantly, for some reason, his body's tenacity and recovery ability were far stronger than ordinary people.

Seeing his men all with their feet and hands cut off by Qi Gen and crying miserably, the bandit leader knew that if he didn't happen unexpectedly, he would be like them in a while, waiting for the blood to drain from his body and die.

Gritting his teeth, the bandit leader suddenly took out a bottle of blood-red potion from the pocket of his clothes and drank it down, and then roared loudly: "You forced me, it's just a group of untouchables, you just chase me." That's good, I can't live, and you have to bury me too. ”

Artoria instinctively sensed that something was wrong, and she quickly stepped back a distance.

From a distance, Artoria could clearly see that the bandit leader's eyes were bloodshot, his skin was blood-red due to broken capillaries, and the muscles on his body were rapidly expanding, and in a few moments they were tearing through his clothes.

And then compared to the next changes, this small change is not worth mentioning.

As the raging magic poured into the huge form like a tidal wave, the bandit leader could no longer see what it had been, or more precisely, it had no trace of being a human at all.

It had crooked horns on its head, dark red skin covered with pitch-black magic patterns, yellow-green flames burning under its feet like goat's hooves, and long sharp claws reflecting a little cold in the sunlight.

With a beastly roar coming out of his mouth, the body of the "bandit leader" was like lightning, and in an instant, it crossed the distance between it and Artoria.

At the moment when the "bandit leader" left, Artoria drew all her attention, felt the sound of the wind in her ears, and without thinking about it, Artoria directly swung her long sword to her left hand.

With the sound of gold and iron intersecting, the long sword in Artoria's hand blocked the flickering claws, and the girl knight was surprised to feel the heaviness of the long sword.

Judging from the strength and agility he felt in the battle just now, the bandit leader, who was not his opponent at all before, was able to barely catch up with him in terms of attributes after drinking the blood-red potion.

But Artoria was not nervous, because although her strength had increased a lot, the "bandit leader" seemed to have completely lost her mind at the moment.

Facing the long sword in Artoria's hand, it didn't dodge at all, and directly used its own body to hard-connect.

Although its skin was tougher than the toughest old cowhide, it was constantly cut into small wounds under Artoria's blade.

And although its speed is fast, it has only instinct and no skill, where can it hit Artoria.

As the long sword in Artoria's hand continued to fall, it finally seemed to reach a certain critical point, only to see that the wounds that were originally only very small were finally connected under the continuous accumulation.

As the dark red blood in the body of the "bandit leader" spurted out from the wounds, it fell to the ground and made a "snort" sound, and several bandits who were relatively close to it were splashed into their bodies by the blood, and even the flesh and bones were corroded through.

Long before the corrosive blood gushed out, Artoria stood in the distance.

As blood gushed out, the bandit leader slowly regained his human form, eventually turning into a skinny, skeletal skeleton with wrinkled skin and pale hair.

Probably because of the return to light, the bandit leader actually came to his senses at this moment.

Looking at Artoria, he seemed to open his mouth unwillingly, wanting to say something, but in the end, he couldn't say a word that completely burned his life.

As his body fell on his back on the dirt, only the arms still reaching in Artoria's direction spoke of his resentment.

At this time, the bandits whose limbs had been severed by Zigen were no longer silent because of the blood flowing, and only occasionally one or two of their bodies were still twitching.

After killing all the bandits, Artoria had no regrets, nor was she complacent about her killing, all she had was wondering, why did humans hurt each other?

Walking to the center of the square, Artoria noticed that the ravaged peasant women were no longer breathing.

Although she didn't know them well, Artoria was still a little sad, but the dead were gone, so the girl knight decided to pile up all the corpses and burn them in flames.

After collecting all the corpses, Artoria noticed that all the girls were missing, and she remembered the dark mage mentioned by the bandit leader earlier.

After lighting the pile of firewood with a magical flame, Artoria hurried to Knight Eckert's manor, where she had a hunch that the black mage would be there if she hadn't expected it.

Sure enough, when they reached the gate of the manor, Artoria saw the corpses of the two knights' squires, and although they did not appear to be injured on the outside, it was not difficult for the young knights to imagine from the pain on their faces what they had suffered in their lifetimes.

After arranging the two bodies and saluting the two knights' squires, Artoria hurried to the Knight Eckert's quarters.

Along the way, Artoria saw many traces of battle and the corpses of several knightly squires with scorched bodies on their bodies.

When Artoria finally reached the center of the manor, shouts and roars reached her ears.

Bypassing the woods, Artoria appeared in front of several monsters that looked like the bandit leader had transformed, and a somewhat fat young man with seven or eight knight squires behind him were cooperating with each other and fighting with them, and the situation was a bit stalemate for a while.

Although the other knight squires were slightly weaker than the monsters, except for the young man in the lead, the two sides were evenly matched with each other.

While several of the knight's squires had a few deep claw marks and tooth marks on their bodies, the monsters also had a few wounds with dark red blood flowing from them.

These wounds were naturally caused by the chubby young knight, and the attack of the knight squires could only leave a white mark on the monster.

After seeing the young knight's face, Artoria was a little surprised: "Kai? ”
