Chapter 2245: Dark Forest (9)
"Hmm...... Arthur snorted and took a deep breath to force himself to calm down.
Of course, it couldn't be Iglyn in front of him, his mother Iglyn died in the original world nine hundred years ago, and when Arthur was still a child. How could a non-existent person appear in this other world nine hundred years later.
In other words, the man just looked like Egleen.
Merlin had also said before that in this otherworld, Arthur would see many familiar faces. But no matter how familiar they were, these people were not from his original world nine hundred years ago. They don't even look like the people in the original world, it's just that when Arthur travels through time to this other world, the "self-correction effect of the world" is working, making what Arthur sees and hears become similar to the people and things he is familiar with.
Arthur had seen the witch Beyureta who looked like Mogoth, and Admiral Penzance, who looked like the Grand Duke of Hall, the knight of the heavens. So the witch he saw in front of him now looked like his mother Iglene..... It's not a big deal either.
So he was silently reminding himself that the witch in front of him was just a stranger, and that she was most likely a vicious witch. Don't show mercy to her just because she looks like Egleen.
"You're ...... Waiting for me?" Regardless of whether there was wavering or not, since the other party had spoken to Arthur first, Arthur still replied out of politeness before starting to fight.
"That's right, I've been waiting for you. The witch replied, her slightly pale face expressionless, "You think you came here by chance, but you don't. It was I who called you to get here. "
Arthur didn't answer, just frowned. This witch is a little too arrogant.
However, the witch's next words shocked him: "He summoned her." Before she completed the task she was supposed to complete, she was bound to this world and couldn't get out for the time being. It was my idea to summon you into this world, even though it was not me who did it. "
"Huh!" Arthur was speechless for a moment, his eyes widening and unable to speak.
"Why be shocked. Didn't you be mentally prepared from the beginning? It is not by chance that you came here, everything is inevitable. The witch said.
"Then what do you want me to do?" replied the Knight King with his sword tightened, but he did not say anything plainly, but said ambiguously: "I just need to bring my lover back, I don't want to meddle in the affairs of your world at all, and there is no need to meddle." Can't you people leave us alone?"
"No, I can't. That's not how things work. The witch closed her eyes and sighed, "Listen, ancient kings. [The world] is interconnected. Our world is currently facing an irresistible catastrophe of destruction, and the destruction of this world will affect your world. So here she came. That's why you're here too. To save our world is to save your world. After all this is done, you and she can go back safely. Otherwise, destruction will catch up not only with her, but also with the world you're in. It is up to you to seek salvation or destruction. "
Arthur frowned again.
"Until then, be put to the test. The witch's figure suddenly became translucent, and after the transformation, it had teleported into the distance: "My name is [Beatrice, the witch of the full moon], and I am here to judge. O ancient kings, is your coming a blessing to the world, or a calamity, and are you the last restraining force before the world reaches destruction, or is it the black hand that pushes it into the abyss of despair?
Then, two huge figures fell from the ceiling of the black hall. Their pale, rough skin, hard bodies as hard as stone, demonic horns, hideous faces, and eyes glowing red like flames all prove that they are a special creature------ gargoyles.
At that moment, Arthur finally understood. This underground cavern, and the traps they had walked through before, were not set up by the Full Moon Witch to protect herself. From the very beginning, they existed to test Arthur's fighting ability and ingenuity.
She knew what he was all about, though she didn't tell the truth.
"Interesting. Arthur drew his sword from its sheath, this time literally pulling the lightsaber part of the Seraph's Holy Sword out of the bladeless blade (scabbard). Milky white light filled the hall.
"Just win these two guys, and then you'll confess everything to me?" Arthur pointed his sword at the witch, "Did you really spread the Black Death? Who are you, why are you here to test me? What is your purpose? There are dozens or hundreds of questions I want to ask you, don't run away!"
The witch didn't reply, but watched from a distance. And the two ferocious gargoyles she controlled had already roared towards Arthur and Bedeville.
No, it's not. Just rushed to Arthur. The Knight King turned his head to take a look, and saw that Bedeville had been frozen by something like an illusion, and was already standing ten yards behind Arthur, unable to move.
Is that what it means that only Arthur can participate in this battle?
That's fine.
The gargoyles rushed at the same time, their fists as big as soup pots mercilessly slamming into the blonde boy's head, with no hint of Arthur's indemnity.
Is this a test? meaning that if Arthur dies during the test, he's just that, is that?
The Knight King dodged the gargoyles' onslaught with a single side-slip step, while trying to find an opportunity to fight back. But the gargoyle seems huge and bulky, but it is surprisingly agile. They punched the air, and in an instant followed Arthur's dodge and swept another backhand with another punch. Moreover, although the two gargoyles acted separately, they seemed to be one and the same, and the trajectories of their backhand fists not only did not intersect with each other, but turned into a mountain of sandwich strikes, leaving Arthur with nowhere to escape!
Arthur couldn't find a chance to fight back, so he could only take another step back, first distance himself from the fierce enemy! He thought that he could easily open the distance with his own footsteps and perfectly dodge the onslaught of the gargoyles, but in fact, the gargoyle's attack speed was a little faster than he expected, and the body of the young man he controlled himself moved a little slower than he expected. As a result, the ferocious gargoyle fist almost hit him in the face, just slightly grazing his chest!
Arthur felt a pain in his chest, a scrape that was close to a meat chipper, and the gargoyle's fist tore the blond boy's clothes directly into his chest, leaving an astonishing hole. His chest wasn't hurt much, just a few bruises. Still, that blow was really dangerous!
"Hmm------" Arthur raised the scabbard of the Seraphic Sword and unleashed [Spellbreaker]. The white light instantly flooded everything around him. It stands to reason that a gargoyle is supposed to be something like a golem, manipulated by magic. Since they are magically manipulated puppets, [Spellbreaker] can bring them to a complete halt with a single blow, turning them back into lifeless stones.
But------
The two gargoyles are still waving their fists at the head-on, [Spellbreaker] has no effect!It seems that these guys are not golems, they are self-conscious?!
Arthur didn't know much about the things in this other world nine hundred years later, it should be said that he knew very little, so he suffered the loss of no culture, and he didn't know that the gargoyles in this other world were actually self-conscious creatures. In fact, the gargoyles here are a kind of demons that look very similar to stone statues, and their whole body is protected by a highly hardened and stone-like shell, and their defensive and destructive power are extremely amazing. However, the vital signs of this creature will change over time, and during the day it will stand still like a stone statue, and at night it will be active but unusually violent and agile, hence the name gargoyle.
I don't know where the witch got and tamed this kind of high-level demons, and let the gargoyles serve her, but even the high-level demons she can serve, you can imagine how high and strong this witch's status and ability are!
No. Now is not the time to worry about this, first deal with the threat in front of you!Arthur came back to his senses and concentrated on dealing with the two gargoyles. The two rough and swift demons attacked again, not giving the Knight King a chance to breathe. And they attacked Arthur from left to right like this, Arthur was already struggling just to dodge the attack, and he really couldn't find a chance to counterattack!
What should I do?------ if my own ability is insufficient, I can only make use of the advantages of the venue. However, when it comes to taking advantage of the site, there is nothing to use in this hall, except for the four pillars that support the entire hall. There is a circle of pale blue light around the hall, it is estimated that the enchantment released by the witch, Arthur and the two gargoyles are within the enchantment, the witch and Bediwell are outside the enchantment, it is estimated that Arthur will not be able to get out of here until this battle is over.
In other words, the only thing that can be used is the four pillars. Although I can't think of any reliable plan for the time being, if I don't try to do something, this battle can only continue to be deadlocked, and Arthur's young body's body only has limited physical strength, and if you keep dodging, sooner or later you will run out of energy, panting, and then be smashed into pulp by the gargoyle's heavy punch!
Arthur leaned down to dodge the gargoyle's fist and immediately ran towards the pillar. The gargoyles chased after them, and because of the distance they were from Arthur, they couldn't run as fast as the blonde boy, so they began to make a collision stance, and they raised their arms and crashed into them like bulls!
Their comings are very ferocious, this kind of impact will be seriously injured even if it is lightly rubbed, Arthur certainly does not dare to slack off! But just dodging is probably not enough, with Arthur's foot, it is difficult to completely avoid the other party's impact, so ------
Arthur dodged behind the pillar with a side dodge!
