Chapter 20: The Black Knight - Co'vogart

The black-armored skeleton that appeared in everyone's eyes was more than two meters tall, it was wearing a large black cloak, wearing a set of pitch-black full-body armor, holding a giant scythe on its shoulder in its right hand, and a pair of eyes burning with soul fire under the hood of the cloak looked at everyone from a distance.

Finn held the Whistling Blade in front of him from behind, and looked at the huge black-armored skeleton from a distance, and found that the two soul fires in its eye sockets were dark gold unlike the undead he had encountered before.

The dark golden soul fire, this is the symbol of the high-level undead!

"My name is Co'Vogart, and I'm here to spread death at the will of Des, the god of death." The black-armored skeleton standing in front of the illusion fake wall exuded an eerie aura, and its hoarse voice was like a leaky bellows, "Who are you who dare to break into my barracks?" ”

As he spoke, the massive black-armored skeleton raised its bony chin, and the dark golden soul fire in its two eye sockets scanned everyone with contempt.

As soon as the black-armored skeleton named Co'vogart spoke, Finn's two pupils shrank unconsciously, and a memory of his past life instantly passed through his mind.

He suddenly remembered that this black-armored skeleton named Co'vogart was a black knight loyal to the Dark Alliance, and before the cataclysm broke out, this undead black knight's body that had not yet been baptized by the demon tide at this time had about the combat strength of a tenth-level boss creature.

When he was a player in his last life, Finn knew this guy. In his previous life in the game, the undead teamed up with the Shepherds to invade the human realm after the cataclysm, and Finn led players in battles against the undead generals of the Dark Alliance many times during the war, and Co'vogart was one of his old rivals in his previous life.

However, why did Co'vogart appear here in the time period of 460 of the Quaternary Period? -- Finn was surprised inwardly.

If I'm not mistaken, it must have appeared in the human kingdom with an undead army after the cataclysm?

Could it be ......

"Part of the game's plot has been advanced!" A terrible conjecture immediately popped into Finn's mind.

If the reason for all this is the early stage of the game, then the previous doubts are explained.

In the past life, the depths of the Merore Mines were indeed connected to a low-level dungeon called the Carrion Labyrinth before the release of the game expansion "Revolt of the Great Tide".

However, after the Demon Tide descended and the Cataclysm broke out, the Dark Alliance and the Demon Husbandry joined forces to invade the human kingdom in the south, and the carrion maze was transformed into a front-line military camp hidden underground by the undead general Co'vogart after the game version was updated.

Co'vogart appears here, proving that the transformation of the carrion maze should have been completed.

From the moment Arroyo pried open the original stone door, the area they entered was not the labyrinth of rotting corpses that Finn remembered, but a camp of the undead dedicated to the production of armies!

No wonder there were so many piles of bones in the first rock hall!

After sorting out all the assumptions and conclusions in his mind, Fein finally figured out what was going on.

"Damn, it looks like I may not have as much time left in this life as a year." Fern scolded in his heart, "According to the progress of this plot, the time for the arrival of the Great Demon Tide may also be advanced, and I must hurry up to improve my strength." ”

But compared to the pace of the plan going forward, Finn knew that the most important thing right now was to take down Co'Vodgart.

If you don't defeat the black knight in front of you first, what will you talk about in the future?

"Lilith, Arroyo, don't interfere in the next battle, stand in the back of the line to protect yourself first." Finn kept an eye on Co'vogart's movements with his greatsword, "Arya, take the crossbow off. ”

"Wait, Finnβ€”" Hearing Finn's request, Arya's face suddenly showed a worried look.

"Listen to me." Finn interrupted Arya.

Finn knew what Arya was worried about.

After learning that Arya had this exclusive specialty, Fein guessed the reason why Arya always carried a giant crossbow on her back.

The reason why Arya carries a giant crossbow with two crossbows is because the more mana a the feat, the larger the magic arrows will become, and sometimes they will be a headache for her.

In his past life and in this life, Finn had never learned a specialty. However, Finn actually knew a lot about the embarrassment of the Magic Catapult shooters.

After all, in his previous life, there was a local tyrant ranger player with expertise in his guild.

Fein remembered that the strange local tyrant ranger player had used a lot of out-of-the-box equipment to pile up mana higher than that of wizards of the same level, and as a result, in a siege against the Dark Alliance fortress, he directly paid 10% of the current mana in the full blue state to create an oversized magic arrow about the thickness of a tree stump.

In that siege battle, the Ranger player created several oversized magic arrows that could not be used by any of the distant pros in the warband, and all of them were eventually fired as siege weapons by a few bed crossbow chariots sponsored by the Artisan player.

Put simply, if a Magic Archer pays more than a certain amount of mana, the size of the magic arrows created will be too large for a normal crossbow weapon to carry, and they will only be able to fire with a large ranged weapon such as a Megabow.

Compared to small and lightweight hand crossbows, the Megabow can carry large and bulky arrows, but holding it in the hand can severely affect the movement speed and dexterity of ranged pro players.

In front of many dungeon bosses, ranged professional players with giant crossbows basically don't even have a chance to deal damage without the high-quality cooperation of their teammates.

Despite this, Finn wanted Arya to attack Co'vogart with a crossbow, and that Arya would act as the core of the damage output in the ensuing battle.

Because the Witcher has the specialty of dealing extra damage to evil faction units, it is a better damage output class than the Ranger and Wizard in the battle against many demon and undead bosses.

Arya's profession is a witcher - and she's a witcher with a specialty!

As long as Arya has enough opportunities to attack, Finn is confident that she can do tons of damage to the undead Black Knight of Co'vogart!

This kind of targeted play, with the Demon Hunter as the output core, is called the Demon Hunter tactic in the strategy area of the game forum in the previous life.

"Don't worry, you just have to attack with all your might." Finn tilted his head slightly, and said to Arya behind him in a gentle tone, "I won't let you be disturbed in the slightest. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Okay, I believe you. After a second of hesitation, Arya gritted her teeth and nodded.

Then, she hung a scimitar and crossbow in her left and right hands back on her belt, and untied the crossbow from her back with both hands and held it in front of her.

"Next, my mission is to create an absolutely safe output environment for Arya." Using the corner of his eye to confirm that the elf girl behind him had changed her weapon, Fein silently reminded himself in his heart, and then moved his gaze back to the black knight in the distance, holding the hilt of the Whistling Blade with both hands and waiting for Co'Vogart's attack.

"Are you done with the nonsense, paladin?" The Black Knight Ko'Vungart glanced contemptuously at the paladin insignia on Finn's chest, and walked his metal boots to the four men beside the sarcophagus, five bony fingers wrapped in black armor playing with the scythe's long handle unhurriedly.

"That's it." Fein held the greatsword behind Arya, and looked defiantly at Co'vogart, who was walking towards him step by step, "Thank you for giving us time to talk nonsense, you will regret your choice." ”

"Really?" Ko'Vogart's feet slammed, "Then - go to death!" ”

With that, the undead general suddenly activated, grabbed the handle of the scythe on his shoulder with both hands, picked up the giant scythe and strode towards Finn.

Fein saw Co'Vodgart's movements, and had no intention of dodging at all, and immediately swung the Whirling Blade to meet it.

"Bang!"

The sound of tooth-aching metal clashing echoed through the hall, and Finn's greatsword and Co'vogart's scythe brutally clashed together, and a man and a corpse were instantly in a stalemate.

"Your Excellency!" Seeing that Finn and Co'vogart were already fighting, Arroyo immediately picked up the dagger from his feet and prepared to go over to help.

However, as soon as he took a step on his front foot, he felt someone pull his arm behind him.

"Lilith, what are you doing?" Arroyo turned her head and looked at Lilith as she held him back.

"Finn just told us to protect ourselves." Lilith explained calmly, "So, we just need to protect ourselves now, and we don't have to go to war. ”

"Butβ€”"

"Finn must have his intentions in arranging this." Lilith continued, "So, trust Finn. ”

β€œβ€¦ Well, I believe adults. After hesitating for a moment, Arroyo finally gave up the idea of helping and decided to stand aside with Lilith to watch the battle first.

The scene shifts between Fein and Co'vogart.

Finn and Co'vogart each used their weapons against each other's weapons, but the stalemate was quickly broken, and the greatsword in Finn's hand gradually took advantage of the strength, pushing the giant scythe towards Co'vogart's bony white face little by little.

"It can't be!" The black knight watched the giant scythe in his hand be pushed open by Finn's greatsword, and his heart was stunned.

In the Ferdia Continent, 10 attribute values are the standard of a normal adult human, and guys like Finn and Anderson Beast Pupil who have more than 20 strength attributes before level 10 are completely the few of the few, and the odd of the strange.

Ko'vogart had 18 strength attributes that surpassed most of his peers before the cataclysm, but Finn's strength at this time was as high as 22 under the bonus of title sum, and it was not too much to be called a monster.

Co'vogart thought that his strength was the highest among his colleagues in the Dark Alliance, but at this time, it was obvious that Finn's brute force was far above him.

This undead black knight never thought that the young holy warrior holding a giant sword in front of him could actually suppress it!

"Human, where did you get this power?!" Co'vogart looked at Finn in amazement.

"Guess?" Finn raised his eyebrows at the two soul fires in Vodgart's eyes with cold eyes.

Then, with a roar of rage, he pushed Co'vogart's scythe off the rail, flipping the hilt of Whirling Blade at a strange angle with his wrist, and the side blades of the greatsword slid down the scythe's hilt towards Co'vogart's handarmour.

This move is similar to the backhand sword technique used against Anderson Beast Hitomi in the Wolf's Tooth Stronghold. Finn had the Whistling Blade slash quickly into Co'Vogart's hand, believing that Co'vogart would choose to dodge the attack.

Sure enough, in the next moment, the black knight in front of him immediately pulled back the giant scythe and took a step to the side in order to avoid Finn's attack.

Finn gritted his teeth and grinned, and an arrow of light as wide as an arm's width flew through the air beside him at high speed with a terrifying whistling sound.

Co'vogart couldn't dodge and was hit by the giant arrow of light on the spot.

The rock hall suddenly flashed with white light!
