1:485 Fierce Battle in the Heavens (2)
Four o'clock in the morning, the Pure Land of Avalon.
Arthur came to the White Tower and looked up at the strange tower with square edges, no reliefs and no columns, made of white squares.
Its design is extremely sophisticated, with a sense of simplicity and old-fashioned solemnity. This is probably one of the ancient buildings left over from the mythical era, and bears some resemblance (but with a more concise design) to the towers beneath the Camillo in London.
The gaps between the blocks shone together with a rual-white glow, which seemed to be some kind of magic spell. This sturdy tower was unscathed in the fierce battle just now, and it was undamaged by the baptism of thunder and lightning storms for thousands of years, which shows the power of the magic that protects it.
Arthur stretched out his hand and pushed, and dozens of square bricks on the white gate of the tower immediately turned over, forming a peculiar groove.
More bricks move from the edge of the door into the groove, perfectly embedded in the groove, filling in the groove and allowing the door frame to move.
The door finally opened, as if to welcome Arthur into the trap. Arthur took a deep breath, emboldened himself, and stepped into the white holy tower.
The interior of the holy tower is also all white walls, white columns, and white ladders. The huge pillar in the middle is square, also made of countless white bricks, and the undulating white light in the gaps of the white bricks is brighter than the outer wall of the holy tower, which is the source of light for this holy tower.
The columns appear to serve as both lighting and foundation, reaching into the sky in a uniform and constant size, extending four beams every hundred feet to join the façade of the Holy Tower. In total, there are ten groups of such beams, and this tower is at least a thousand feet.
Arthur turned to the staircase again. Countless rectangular white bricks stretch out from the walls of the tower, and they hang in the air, and they also reach into the sky in a spiral arrangement.
Arthur was getting a little impatient. How long would it take to climb such a tower? He didn't think much of it, and hurriedly stepped on the stone stairs and ran up. As soon as he ran, he fell on his back, and the stone stairs under his feet moved, making him unsteady on his feet.
This ladder is automatic. It spun up with Arthur, and in a matter of seconds, the rider climbed dozens of feet.
It turned out to be an escalator. There are no handrails, and it is a very dangerous automatic killing ladder.
Arthur sat on the ladder and let it take him up. The ladder moves so fast that if you run in a hurry, a wrong step will cause Arthur to fall and be seriously injured. He had actually hit his nose and was bleeding from his nose.
According to this trend, the top of the tower can be reached in half an hour. King Arthur's spirituality must have been there waiting for Arthur.
But will it go so well?
A bullet hit Arthur's shoulder, fast and hard, straight through Arthur's shoulder!
Arthur was already wearing black dragon armor, and it stands to reason that he was not so easy to hit. But the opponent is really a veteran of sniping, and he actually shoots a bullet into the seam of the black dragon armor's armor, causing damage to Arthur!
It was a physical bullet, a warhead made of metal. The warhead carried a tremendous amount of momentum and slammed into Arthur's body, causing Arthur to fall backwards, almost down a few hundred feet of stairs. Arthur hurriedly raised his sword and stabbed it down the stairs, and the sword of the Holy King pierced into a staircase brick to keep Arthur from falling.
In the hundreds of years since the invention of the light gun, physical ammunition has been in decline due to various shortcomings, and almost no gunmen will use it anymore*.
(*Note: The weight of a physical bullet alone is a headache.) And light guns do have a myriad of benefits. The Holy Spirit would have used this kind of physical bullet to snipe Arthur.
That guy, hiding somewhere in this pristine white tower, is secretly sniping Arthur. Arthur could only wait on this automatic staircase, and he was in a very passive position.
Arthur hurriedly pulled out his helmet from the back of the black dragon armor and put it on himself. This helmet can usually be folded into a deck and stowed away above the back of the armor. In this emergency, Arthur unfolded his helmet into a ball and slid it tightly over his head. This will at least avoid getting a sniper's headshot.
But he is not absolutely safe. The armor has countless gaps in the eyes, neck, and joints of the hands and feet, each of which can be pierced by a sniper.
Knights who are proficient in the art of the mind may not take the gunners seriously, and there are very few of the Knights who actually use firearms. This is not only because the guns are not lethal enough to penetrate modern photon armor, but also because before a gunner fires, his intent to attack will create a fixed trajectory (trajectory) in the shijie, which the knights can detect and dodge early. As a result, the gunner's attack was easier to dodge than the swordsman's.
However, a gunslinger who can use the [Heartless] skill is a different story.
He hid his hostility, and the trajectory of his attack was simply undetectable with his mental eye. His bullets could come from anywhere, and that was what scared Arthur the most.
Arthur is even more unsheltered on the escalator staircase, and has become a living target completely. The situation is unfavorable to the extreme. Arthur can only respond to his opponent's shots with his quick reflexes, hoping to dodge or block the bullet before it hits him!
There is still about half an hour left to reach the top of the tower, but this half hour is by no means easy. Any small mistake can make the difference between life and death, and any moment of distraction can seriously injure Arthur, or even die from a headshot!
The battle between him and the Holy Spirit Sniper has begun.
Another bullet came in. Arthur dodged sideways. He observed the spark from the muzzle of the gun at the moment the opponent opened fire, so that he could judge the direction and trajectory of the attack.
Even then, the bullet went through the gap in the armor of his knee and was tightly embedded in his knee!
It hurts!! The second and third rounds have already arrived. With no time to dodge, Arthur instantly pulled out the king's sheath and launched the griffin shield to block!
Smack. Two bullets hit the shield almost simultaneously. Due to the inertia of the physical warhead, the Griffin Shield does not completely deflect its trajectory, instead drawing an arc on the shield and sliding away from the shield.
Luckily, the griffon's shield itself is so hard that a normal bullet would never have been able to penetrate it.
It seems that the performance of the griffin shield has long been known, and at the same time that the griffin shield has been activated and disappeared, two more bullets have been fired.
The two bullets hit the shield just now, which made Arthur suffer a certain degree of impact, a little unsteady on his feet, and almost fell down the stairs, plus the next two bullets, the consequences were even more unimaginable!
The two bullets did not hurt Arthur through the gap in the armor, but hit the knight's shoulder armor and breastplate. Although they were unable to shoot through the Black Dragon Armor, which had strong defenses, they did deal two powerful impacts.
Arthur, who was shot in the knee and was unsteady by the first two bullets, ate these two more shots, and his body began to fall back involuntarily and down the stairs!
"Hmph!" he quickly spread his wings and flapped hard, and the strong wind pressure pressed him up the stairs, which prevented him from falling down the stairs.
Arthur could not stand and be beaten either. As soon as he stood still, he raised his sword and stabbed it! The sword of the Holy King extended a hundred feet of light into a bundle, and shot out with Arthur's sword, pointing straight at the gunman.
