With the momentum of breaking his right foot, Yugeo kicked the steps with all his might, throwing his body to the left, while protecting the midline of his body with the blade of the Rose Blade. If the knight's eyesight had been intact, their bodies would have been riddled with holes by now.

With a shrill sound, an arrow landed on the sword of the green rose and was bounced away. At the same time, an arrow was nailed to the right hem of Yugeo's pants, an arrow pierced through the left armpit, and an arrow swept across the left side of his face, cutting off all the hair that had been brushed.

With a "bang" sound, his shoulders hit the ground heavily, Yugeo gritted his teeth, looked at his body in horror, and finally confirmed that he was not seriously injured, so he raised his face and looked at Lin Yiyan who jumped to the right.

"Yi Yan! Are you okay! Asked in a concerned voice, the black-haired partner nodded to this direction, and also squeezed out the clenched teeth in reply, "Ah...... Ah, it seems to have just shot between two toes. ”

A closer look reveals that there is an arrow stuck in front of his left shoe, which reaches the sole. I don't know whether to say whether his partner reacted quickly or was lucky, and Ugeo breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

“…… It really scared my soul out......" muttered as he forcibly lifted his paralyzed body.

Looking up, the integration knight above the stairs also stopped moving at this moment. The quiver behind it is empty, and the string of the longbow hangs down weakly, which is the so-called "arrow end bow break". However, the other party is an integrated knight, so he can't be careless, and now is not the occasion for his subordinates to show mercy.

“…… Let's go. Yougeo beckoned to his partner and stepped his right foot on the stairs again, but Lin Yiyan frowned and stopped him with his left hand, which was still holding the arrow he had just pulled out of his shoe. Wait a minute...... The knight, chanting ......"

"Huh?" Eugeo hurriedly listened. In the current situation where you can't cut your opponent even if you jump one step forward, once the enemy starts chanting the Divine Technique, you must also chant the technique that generates the Reverse Element. The metal distorted sound emitted from under the knight's helmet was concentrated, and although the chant was fast, it was clearly heard by relying on the school *** in the library.

However, the way he sings, Eugeo has never heard of it. If you can't hear the "generate" sentence that determines the type of element, you won't be able to figure out how to deal with it yourself.

"Oh no, this is ......" Lin Yiyan gasped and made a sound.

"This is not an attribute attack, it is an armed total domination technique." Before he could finish his sentence nervously, the knight had already shouted the last sentence, "Enhance armament!"

With a "snap", the end of the bowstring, which broke into two weak droops, ignited an orange flame. As Yugeo stared, the flames were already running up the string, burning the entire bowstring, and then, the moment the flames reached the ends of the bow

The bronze longbow erupted with crimson fire all around it. For a moment, Yugeo felt the fierce heat wave rushing down the stairs, and subconsciously turned his back on his face. Standing on the platform, the Knight of Integration was entwined in the flames that erupted from his bow, as if he were burning with it.

Ugeo hesitated because the phenomenon in front of him was too much for him to imagine. Since the arrows have been exhausted, can it be judged that the opponent has lost the means of attack and directly makes a surprise attack? Or did the knight use up the arrows in one go, precisely because he didn't need to use the arrows at all in his state of complete domination?

What would the partner think at this time? Yugeo glanced to the side, but that Lin Yiyan neither retreated nor attacked, his eyes were round like a child, and the corners of his mouth were slightly smiling, "This is amazing...... What is the origin of that bow? ”

"Is now the time to care about this?!" Yugeo resisted the urge to punch Lin Yiyan's shoulder, and looked up at the knight again. Now the enemy will not give himself the opportunity to use the Total Domination technique he just remembered in order to fight the enemy's technique. Also, you will be attacked by the opponent before the chanting is completed. Even if you have the idea of using it, if you don't start chanting at the same time as the enemy, it will only be too late.

Now he can only wait for the other party to make a move first and then make a countermeasure, and Yugeo, who thinks like this, bends down. However, it seems that the integration knight did not intend to make a move immediately, holding the flaming longbow in his left hand, and raised his right hand to remove the mask of the helmet.

The knight's face was still obscured by the shadows of the flames, but Yugeo could still feel the other's gaze as cold as steel arrows. After that, the voice sounded with a hard texture that made people feel that it was not human at all, "I haven't let the Blazing Bow ignite in two years. I see, it looks like you two sinners do have the strength to match the knight Elderliye thirty-one. However, it is precisely because of this that it is even more unforgivable. Why don't you fight with dignity like knights, but use filthy dark magic to confuse thirty-one! ”

"Dark ...... Darkness? Yi Yan beside him groaned in surprise, and Yugeo felt the same way as him. However, in his astonishment, Yugeo remembered that he had to refute what the knight had said, and screamed desperately.

"No, that's not right! We didn't use any dark magic! Just said something about Mr. Elderliye's past before he became a Knight of Integration......"

"How dare you say before becoming a knight?! How can we come to the past! I am equal to the time when the celestial realm is summoned, that is, the glorious Knight of Integration!! A steely roar echoed through the staircase hall, causing Eugeo to gasp.

According to the girl named Cardinal, all the Integration Knights have their memories sealed away from before they became Integration Knights. Therefore, the crimson knight in front of him could only feel that he had been summoned from the heavenly realm.

Although the true memory blocked by the godly module can shake the heart of the integrated knight as long as it stimulates the true memory blocked by the god worship module, he knows nothing about the knight in front of him. As a result, the means to keep Elderliye in a state of inaction are no longer available.

The knight swung his longbow vigorously, and countless sparks were scattered around him in an instant. Then, with a thunderous voice, "Because I have been commanded to capture you alive, I will not burn you to ashes." But now that the Flaming Bow has been liberated, you must at least be prepared to have one of your hands burned! In the face of the flames of judgment, you can try to see if you can touch my body with that weak sword! ”

The knight raised his longbow in the air, and placed his right hand on the place where the bowstring had been, his fingertips moving as if he were holding something. The words "Could it be that" had just popped into Ugeo's mind

A burst of fire erupted from the longbow forward, rapidly changing into the shape of an arrow. Just by its dazzling fire and crimson brilliance, you could feel the power within, and Eugeo's body tensed up like a reflex.

"Even if the bowstring is broken, it doesn't matter if the steel arrows run out." Lin Yiyan next to him cursed in a low voice, and Yugeo trembled and hurriedly asked him, "Do you have any strategy?" ”

"That bow can't shoot continuously, so believe it. I'll find a way to block the first arrow, and in the meantime, you slash through it. ”

"Believe in something......

In other words, if that bow could shoot continuously, there would be no way to fight back on your side. However, even if it is only a single shot, that arrow definitely has the power to kill in one hit. How could Yi Yan defend against such things, fears like these kept coming to his mind, and Yugeo forcibly left them behind.

"Understood." Since Lin Yiyan said that if he could block it, he would definitely be able to block it, compared to the unreasonable thing that he really cut down Kigascida when he said that he wanted to cut it down, it seemed much more realistic to stop an arrow.

The two of them set up their swords. The integrated knight, who saw the consciousness of the same end in the actions of the other party, pulled out the invisible bowstring with extremely leisurely movements. The heat wave that had previously swept over Yogeo's cheeks grew stronger. The flames from the longbow known as the Fiery Bow had burned to the ceiling, and the marble slabs had turned pitch black.

Suddenly, Lin Yiyan moved. Instead of shouting or kicking the ground hard, it surged forward smoothly and swiftly, like a torrent sweeping through the fallen leaves. After a breath, Yugeo hurriedly followed.

The black-clad partner rushed up the steps, and Yugeo noticed that his slowly clenched left hand shone with a pale blue glow. It was undoubtedly the brilliance of the cold element, probably generated when the knight made a declaration of battle. When the two of them reached halfway up the stairs, the knight finally pulled the bowstring to the maximum.

At the same time, Lin Yiyan also chanted the divine technique at high speed, "form element, shield shape!" discharge!”

The number of elements that shot out in a row from the palm of his left hand that pierced in front of him was the upper limit of five elements that Yi Yan could generate at the same time. The blue dots of light gradually changed into the shape of a large round shield, dripping between the two of them and the integration knight.

The knight who saw this let out an angry roar for the third time, "Just kidding! Break it down! ”

The roar of a fire dragon's breath exploded in his ears, and the flaming arrow was wrong, and now the piece of fire was about to be called a gun, and it was finally fired. After a split second of flight, the flame spear came into contact with the ice shield made by Lin Yiyan.

The first ice shield was wiped out in an instant, and the fragments turned into steam in an instant. The second and third blocks were quickly pierced before the sound of shattering reached the ears. Although the center of the fourth shield resisted the rocket, it immediately collapsed. Through the last remaining ice shield, Eugeo's vision was stained red by the flame spear that burst into front of him.

However, Yugeo didn't stop and continued to run up the stairs. Directly ahead, his partner is still fearlessly rushing forward, and he must not drag him back. In front of the gaze of Eugeo, who gritted his teeth, the flaming arrow that collided with the fifth ice shield finally slowed down the momentum of flight. Two forces based on mutually exclusive attributes collide in mid-air, and red sparks fly in all directions.

“！？” Ugeo was dumbfounded. Opposite the translucent ice shield, the flame spear changed shape in an instant. The one who opened his mouth and spread his wings was like a bird of prey......

However, before he could blink, the last shield shattered with a mournful "click". The suffocating heat wave hit me instantly. The Flame Spear that had penetrated all the obstacles, no, the Flame Bird was attacking Lin Yiyan with the intensity that burned everything.

"Woooo Lin Yiyan's mouth finally burst out with a shout full of momentum, and the right hand holding the black sword stabbed forward suddenly.

Do you want to cut off the giant bird? Ugeo couldn't help but think. however

Lin Yiyan stretched out his right hand straight, and the sword in his hand moved in an incredible trajectory. With the five fingers of the sword as the center, the blade of the sword rotates rapidly like a windmill. However, the speed of rotation is anything but extraordinary. Yugeo couldn't see what kind of technique Lin Yiyan used at all, but he saw that the speed of the sword body rotation was beyond the naked eye's eyes, and it turned into a translucent black shield.

The head of the flame bird hit the sixth "shield". A roar of "bang" sounded, was that the angry roar of a giant bird? The mortal flame that broke through the fivefold ice shield was cut into countless tiny sparks by the sword wielded in Lin Yiyan's hand, and scattered in a radial shape. However, there was also no small amount of flames that enveloped Lin Yiyan's whole body, and continued to explode on him.

Seeing his partner's body flying into the air by the shockwave, Yugeo let out an exclamation. "Yi Yan!!"

Obviously, there were countless sparks floating around him, but Lin Yiyan responded firmly in the air, "Don't stop, Yugeo!" ”

To dispel some hesitation in his heart, Yugeo's eyes widened forward. If it were Lin Yiyan, he would definitely not stop here and miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He has done what he promised, so he can't hold him back.

Staggered with his partner who fell from mid-air in the upper right, and Yogeo ran up the remaining stairs with all his might. Rushing through the ashes of the flames that were still flying in the air, he was within striking distance of the platform on which the knight was standing.

The opponent actually escaped the blow after the complete domination of his absolutely confident armament completely unharmed, which was completely unexpected by the integration knight. Although I couldn't see the other person's expression hidden in the shadows, I could still feel the aura of surprise coming from the depths of the helmet. Now that the knight has no time to unleash a second blow, since the opponent does not have a sword, he just needs to get close to that distance

You're losing!

Silently shouting in his heart, Yugeo raised the sword of the green rose.

"Don't be too complacent, little ghost!" As if hearing Eugeo's thoughts, the knight roared.

The previous shaking vanished in an instant, and a coercive fighting spirit erupted from the knight's body, enveloping the red copper-colored heavy armor. The left hand holding the flaming longbow was raised high above his head, and with his fist as the center, the fierce flames erupted again.

"Ahh With a cry that shook even the scorching air, the knight's left fist struck down from a great height.

What to do?!

Although he had already entered the slashing posture, countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. Swords and fists, both in terms of attack distance and weapon priority, are advantageous here. However, on the terrain, it was the other side that had the upper hand. Compared to the heavy punch of the burly integration knight who struck from the height of the third order, it was unknown whether this slender sword of the green rose would be able to overwhelm it. Should we first distance ourselves and see how much strength the enemy still has?

Yi Yanyougio's sword teacher, who is also an expert in Ain Grant's stream, has said this in the past.

In this world, what matters is whether or not you inject something into the sword.

It's up to you to find out what you want to put into the sword.

Whether it is Grugloso, who is the mentor of Eugeo, or Soldilina, who is the mentor of Yi Yan, or the arrogant and despicable nobles Leios and Wimbel, there is something that makes the sword powerful.

However, Eugeo realizes that he is still on the way to finding 'this thing'. Although I have accumulated the idea that I will not lose to anyone in my daily practice, and I have learned countless mysteries, I still have not found the 'one' that should be injected into the sword. I don't know, I've never been a swordsman since I was born, so I'll probably never find it.

However, at least for now, he cannot be overwhelmed by the spirit of the integration knight and put down the sword in his hand. Because, as long as you practice sword skills, the time has passed. Today, Ugeo has a clear goal, which is to reclaim Alice, who has been transformed into an integration knight.

Alice.

That's all that matters. On that summer day eight years ago, he could only watch her being taken away by the knights, but now he must save her. Whether it is the knowledge of swordsmanship or divine arts, it is all aimed at achieving this goal.

Please, lend me strength. Although I am far from mature, I probably haven't become a master of famous swords like you...... However, there is no turning back! As he called out in his heart, Yugeo swung the Sword of the Green Rose in a large upper slash posture, and his whole body instantly tensed.

The translucent blade of the sword is surrounded by a vivid blue light, which is the secret meaning of Ein Grant.

"Oh...... Oooh! With a sharp shout, Yugeo swung his sword down. The blade of the sword flashed through the air with the unique sound of arcane meaning, colliding with the left fist of the integrated knight wrapped in fire. The shock wave created by the intersection of blue and red light spread in a circle, tearing apart the red velvet carpet that lay on the stairs and the fabric that hung on the walls. The fist and the sword just stood still in the air.

The armor and sword that wrapped around the fist clattered, and Yugeo tried his best to unleash the mystery, but the knight's arm stood as tall as a rock. However, the enemy didn't seem to be at ease, with a low roar coming from the depths of the helmet, and the fists seemed to be weighted all over their bodies.

The glue lasted only a few seconds. The flames from the flaming bow held in the knight's fist began to eat away at the sword of the green rose. The arcane light that surrounded the sword shimmered as if it couldn't withstand the heat. If vertical is interrupted here, the sword will be bounced off immediately, and a scorching blow will undoubtedly hit the face.
