Chapter 138: Facing the Integration Knight Again
From the crack in the black door that was opened about 50 cen wide, it seemed that the rich cold air that had been condensed for hundreds of years in this silence poured out wildly, making Yugeo tremble, but Lin Yiyan didn't care about it, and Yugeo had to hurriedly follow him. After the heavy wooden door behind the two was closed, the surroundings were plunged into complete darkness.
The sentence of "System Call......" divine magic blurted out reflexively, but it inadvertently coincided with Yi Yan's voice beside him, so the two of them smiled heartily. Continuing to chant the next "Generate Luminous Element", Yugeo remembered when he and Yi Yan went to the cave north to find Serka two and a half years ago. At that time, the technique I understood was only the preliminary of the preliminary, and in the darkness, I could only barely illuminate the grass stalk branch I was holding in my hand-
The pure white light element produced on his right palm dispelled the dense darkness in one go, and then Eugeo's nostalgia was swept away.
"Wow ......" At the same time as Lin Yiyan, who was moaning in surprise beside him, Yugeo couldn't help but scream.
That's a lot of expanse. When he heard about the vault before, all Yugeo could think of was something like the Sword Academy's equipment placement field. However, this vault has enough to compare to Yi Yan and Volo? The area of the large cultivation ground that Libanting once competed with.
Surrounded on all sides by smooth stone walls, the light elemental lights leave the palm of Eugeo's hand and fly in the air, reflecting a variety of colors in the light.
Humanoid support frames are neatly arranged on the ground, and various types of armor are hung from them. There are pitch black, pure white, and dazzling colors such as copper, silver blue, and gold. There are probably no less than 500 in total, from a lightweight style in which a few pieces of leather are connected by a slender chain to a heavy steel plate that is joined together without any gaps.
The four high walls were densely packed with all the types of weapons that Yugeo knew existed in this world.
Even if you just look at the sword, there are various types of swords, which are long or short, wide or thin, straight or curved. Add to that the single-edged axes and double axes, infantry spears and horse spears, as well as war hammers, whips, clubs, bows, and crossbows, and the walls are completely covered from floor to ceiling. Faced with such a sight, Yugeo's mouth widened and he was speechless.
“…… If Sister Soldilina had been here, she would have fainted with emotion. After a few seconds, the silence was finally broken by Lin Yiyan's whisper.
"Hmm...... If Senior Grugloso saw that big sword, he would definitely rush over, and then he was reluctant to walk away. With a heavy sigh, Yugeo finally came to his senses, took a deep breath, and turned to look around the vast arsenal before shaking his head.
"How so...... Is the church trying to raise an army? It's enough to integrate the knights......"
"Hmm...... Are you going to fight the Dark Army......? No, that's not right......" Lin Yiyan suddenly looked at Yugeo with a stern face, and said, "It's just the opposite. Not for the sake of forming an army...... The Church concentrated all its weapons and equipment here precisely so that it would not be possible to form an army. I'm afraid that all of the weapons stored here are artifacts or powerful equipment close to the artifact level. The High Priest Administrator ...... in order to prevent forces outside the Congregational Church from obtaining them, and thus gaining power that does not correspond to his identity."
"Huh......? What does this mean? No matter how powerful the weapon is, no group will be able to fight against the Church, right? ”
"In other words, the one who least believes in the authority of the Church is the High Priest himself." Yugeo couldn't immediately understand the meaning behind Lin Yiyan's sarcastic words, and before he could chew on the meaning, Lin Yiyan patted him on the back, interrupting his thoughts.
"Hurry up, there's no time, let's get our swords back."
"Ah...... Uh-huh. But...... It seems difficult to find something from here...... "The sword of the green rose and the black sword are contained in white and black leather scabbards that are not too decorated, respectively. But there are several swords that fit this description on the wall on the right-hand side.
“…… Even if you use the dark element to search again, the spatial divine power has already been exhausted when the light element was generated just now......" Yugeo felt that there should be a lamp anyway, but when he sighed about it, Lin Yiyan's confident words stopped him.
"No, I've seen it." Then, Lin Yiyan raised his right hand and pointed to the wall to the left of the entrance gate.
"Wow...... It's actually in that kind of place. Indeed, the black and white swords hanging there are exactly the love swords that the two of them will never mistake. Eugeo looked dumbly at his partner's side face.
"Yi Yan, you haven't used the Divine Technique either, why are you ......?"
"I just think that since it's the sword that was just brought in, it should be placed closest to the door."
If it was an ordinary Lin Yiyan, when he said this, he would definitely show a child-like proud smile, but now he just maintained a stern expression, staring at his black sword quietly, then exhaled, and walked forward to the wall, stretched out his right hand and grabbed the black leather sheath.
For a moment, he paused as if he was hesitating about something, but he immediately picked up his sword, and then took the sword of the green rose next to him with his left hand, and dropped it casually, and Yugeo hurriedly caught it, feeling the weight in his hand that he had not felt for a long time.
Obviously, it has only been two days since he left his love sword, but Yugeo, who holds the scabbard with both hands, feels so strong that he is so strong that he is taken aback.
From the time he slashed down his native Kigas Sida, the Sword of the Green Rose has been with him and helped him. Whether it's attending a sword tournament in Zakaria or taking the entrance test to the Sword Academy—yes, even if it's when you turn your back on the taboo catalogue and chop off one of Wembell's hands.
If the Congregational Church had been collecting powerful swords for a long time and hiding them here, it would have been a fluke that the Sword of the Green Rose would have been able to sleep in the caves of the North, and escape the eyes of the Congregational Church. This is exactly what he is moving forward - the path to rescue Alice is not proof of a mistake......
"How long do you want to be moved, just enough." Hearing Lin Yiyan's voice accompanied by a wry smile, Yugeo's consciousness regained consciousness, and he found that his partner had tied the thin belt of the scabbard to his belt. Yugeo chuckled shyly and did the same. Finally, he tapped the hilt of the sword lightly with his hand and turned his head to look around. The high-grade armor placed on the ground is hung with nameplates such as the armor of a thousand thunders or the armor of the Earthquake Mountain, which makes people curious when they look at it.
“…… What happens after that, Yi Yan? You should be able to find armor that matches our body shape here, do you want to borrow one? ”
"Forget it, it's better for us not to wear armor, after all, don't just do things that you're not used to. Just put on the clothes that are there over there. "Looking in the direction of my partner's finger, there are indeed colorful clothes stacked in the corner of the armor array. Yugeo looked at his body, the academy uniform he had been wearing since two days ago had been torn apart after the battle with the knight Elderiyah and his escape.
"Indeed, if you wear your current outfit again, it's not strange when your clothes will rot." The two light elements floating above their heads slowly dimmed. The two of them ran from the side of the armor to the pile of clothes, pushed aside the mountain of cloth that felt good, and finally found the well-fitting shirt and pants, then turned their backs and quickly changed their clothes.
When he put his hand through the turquoise sleeves that resembled his school uniform, he was amazed by the smooth touch of the clothes. buttoned up and turned around, and found that Lin Yiyan was also caressing the black fabric with both hands as if he had the same feelings.
“…… I'm afraid this dress is also made of quite high-grade materials. If only I could block the Fusion Knight's sword a little. ”
"You're thinking too much about that." After laughing at his partner's joke, Yugeo closed the corners of his mouth.
"So...... It's almost time to go. ”
"Ahh After exchanging a brief dialogue, the two returned to the entrance.
So far, things have gone well, but the future is uncertain. Let's move forward in one breath - both sides nodded, and after wordlessly confirming this, Eugeo and Yi Yan grabbed the doorknob on the right and left respectively, and pulled back at the same time, and the door opened a small crack-
"Knock ——!" The sound suddenly sounded, and countless arrows were instantly inserted on the surface of the heavy door panel.
"Wow!"
"Hey!"
The impact of the arrow caused the door to open left and right with a violent momentum, and both Yugeo and Yi Yan fell backwards to the ground.
In front of him was the rectangular room, on the platform of the staircase that jutted out deeper, and the familiar knight in red armor stood there, a longbow as long as his own was ready for a second fire, and at the same time, four shots at the same time—yes, the integrated knight with the wyvern he had encountered in the Rose Garden.
The distance between friend and foe is almost thirty Mel. If you use a sword, you won't be able to reach the opponent anyway, but if the opponent is an expert with an archer, I'm afraid this is already a certain distance. Moreover, with the current state of falling to the ground, there is not enough time to stand up and avoid or hide behind the wall.
That's why I want you to put on armor! Or maybe it's nice to have a shield or anything! Yugeo let out a scream in his heart, and at the same time, the knight had already drawn his longbow. At this point, we have to abandon the idea of avoiding injuries without injury, and at least concentrate on avoiding fatal injuries - no, avoiding serious injuries that would put you in a state of inability to act.
Yugeo's eyes widened, staring at the four arrows in the knight's hand. The dark silver arrows didn't seem to be aimed at the hearts of the two, but at the feet. As Cardinal said, the knight should have been ordered not to hunt them down, but to bring them back alive. However, in today's realm, there is not much difference between the two.
The integrated knight tightens the bowstring. At this moment, it was as if everything was still -
Taking advantage of this gap, Lin Yiyan opened his mouth and shouted loudly.
“Burst Element!” Because it was so sudden, Yugeo didn't even hear what Yi Yan said. By the time he was finally able to understand the literal meaning of the words, it was already after the order had been launched.
The sight was suddenly filled with white. A bright light like Sols. This is a short technique that liberates the light element from the elements that are the starting point of all attributes of the divine arts, but Yi Yan has never generated an element at all. So, in the end-
No, there are elements. Almost ten minutes ago, in order to illuminate the inside of the arsenal, both of them summoned light elementals, causing them to float in the air. The duration of the element that is set aside depends on the caster's permission level, and for the duration of the element, the element remains in a state of waiting for input from subsequent spells. And Lin Yiyan directly gave the liberation order to the elements floating on his head, and in this way, a strong light was generated.
- Whether it's picking up a shard of glass to contain it while fighting the integration knight Elderier, this guy is a combat genius who can use everything around him......
As he jumped to the right in the bursting white light, there was only so much for Yugeo to think of.
Then, with a cacophony of rattles, the steel arrow swept across the stone ground, sticking in a straight line where Yogeo's feet had been half a second ago. Finally avoided the direct attack, and when Yugeo was thinking about hiding in the shadows of the wall first, Lin Yiyan let out a low roar, "-ahead!" ”
Agio instantly understood his partner's intentions and kicked the ground again, sprinting straight forward instead of diagonally to the right. The place where the light element exploded was the young rear of the two people's heads, that is, the two of them did not directly look at the light element, and on the contrary, the knight should have all the light elements in his eyes, so that in the next few seconds, he should not be able to get rid of the state of losing most of his eyesight.
Although light spells do not have the same actual attack power as hot or cold elements, and are used more often than healing spells, if they are attached to a weapon, they can bring a hallucinating effect through a strong glow. Therefore, when the opponent generates a light element, the dark element with opposite properties is immediately generated to cancel each other out, which is also what has been taught in the academy.
There is no reason why the Integrating Knights, who stand at the apex of all swordsmen and sorcerers, should not know this. As a result, the method of generating new light elements to make them lose their vision will not work again. Now is the first and last chance to close the distance between your archers.
Whether it's analyzing the situation or making a choice, it's the essence of Ain Grant's Art of War—a phrase that Eugeo has heard Yi Yan say countless times. This way of thinking is very different from the high Norgia stream, which focuses on the grace and courage of the movements. In order to practice this essence, even in battle, let your high head calm down - for this reason, Lin Yiyan told himself a mantra, "Stay Cool".
After using the light element, Yugeo was one step behind his partner, desperately following the footsteps in front of him, and as he ran, he pulled out the sword of the green rose on his left waist. Subsequently, the light element that had completed the mission diverged and disappeared, and the world returned to its original color. By this time, the two had already run into the hall from the arsenal, and Yugeo's eyes widened to confirm the figure of the integrated knight standing on top of the twenty steps in front of him.
As expected, the knight's eyesight was still severely weakened. Although his face was hidden under the red bronze helmet, his right hand was obviously blocked near his eyes, and his upper body was moving wildly.
And it has to be said that what is even more fortunate is that this integration knight is different from Elderier, and does not have a sword at his waist. It is too conceited to fight alone indoors, armed only with a longbow. Probably because he has the confidence to be able to destroy the feet of the two before the other person gets close.
Although Yugeo tried his best to calm his mind, there was still a nameless flame frantically swaying and lingering in the corner of his consciousness.
- Even if you're an integrated knight, you're just the same thing as Lyos! Narrow-minded, arrogant, convinced that he is in the right position no matter what, and that he will never lose if he is right.
- But that's just your own judgment. Now, let me ...... Let you taste the bitterness!
With this unfamiliar feeling, Yugeo burst into the stairs. First, second, when the right foot stepped on the third step—
The knight, who was standing on the top of more than ten steps, lowered his right hand from his helmeted face, reached for the quiver behind his back, and pulled the steel arrow from within. - Disposable, take out all the remaining arrows.
In the raised right hand, there were thirty arrows like a forest of needles. Before Yugeo could figure out what he was going to do, the knight placed the entire bundle of arrows on the bowstring that was erected horizontally in his left hand.
"What......" Yugeo subconsciously stopped on the third step and gasped. With such a slender bowstring, it is impossible to shoot an arrow.
I heard the goosebump-inducing sound of "gala gala" in my ears. Realizing that this was a scream from the steel arrows that could not withstand the knight's strong grip, a chill ran through Yugeo's back. Yi Yan, who stopped on his right, should also be trying to judge what the knight wanted to do. Is it just because you have to make a fuss, or-
With a fierce grinding sound, the longbow was fully drawn.
"-Jump to the left back!" Lin Yiyan shouted sharply.
The bowstring made a "bang", followed by a "snap", which I am afraid was already the sound of the bowstring breaking. But at the same time, thirty steel arrows shot radially like deadly silver raindrops, pouring down on the two men below the steps.
