Section B, Chapter 65: Magic Hook (Anusen)
It was a sleek dark silver hook that could be slipped over the hand and launched to hook things. However, there appears to be no rope or wire attached to the claw.
This is...... Puzzled, the knight looked at the herald's waist again: there was another letter there. So he lowered his shield and pulled out the letter.
A letter without an envelope...... Also, how can a letter sent on the battlefield have a chance to wrap an envelope?
Holding it, the knight hesitated a little whether he really wanted to see: this is an invasion of other people's privacy, right?
It seemed that his hesitation had moved the heavens, and suddenly a gust of wind blew the letter open. Although it has not been completely scratched open, it undoubtedly strengthens the knight's new idea: if there is no envelope, there is nothing to see. Moreover, this is not a personal letter.
The letter paper had been frozen stiff and brittle, covered with frost. The intermittent pen and ink can also be seen that the pens are frozen to the water.
The letter stated that the magic hook was to be given to Captain Odys south of town so that he could climb onto the back of the giant creature. The writer was Somer.
Meaning...... Looking at the ominous red sky, Anusen gritted his teeth: will this work?
Also, Sommer seems to have heard the name somewhere. Is it the Captain of the Ice Rock that Vicor and they met this morning, and why does he have this magical artifact......
Hurriedly looking at the phantom that suddenly appeared on the surrounding rooftops, the knight concentrated on casting spells and began to retrieve the magic breath: he could vaguely feel that there were people who continued to cast spells in the northwest.
"Hey, knight!" Although it was difficult to hear because of the blizzard, Anusen could vaguely hear someone calling out to him, "What are you doing crouching there?!"
It's a mad dog...... Glancing at him, the knight just shook his head and gestured to him in the direction where the Black Ice Mage might be, signaling that he was not available. So Cereya immediately understood, rushed in the corresponding direction, and was almost swept by the red light.
Then I'm going to use this thing myself...... It's not the first time I've used it. Determined, the knight fiddled with his hook claw, a product of magic...... Don't quite understand how it works: where do I press it?
Although he didn't know why, he put it on his hand first. Later, he found that when he put it on his hand, he could put his middle finger into a small space on the inside and upper side of the hook claw. So he reached in and found something to pull.
The moment it was lifted and pulled, a gray magic rope burst out from the fixing device that connected the claw to the wrist. The claws shot quite a distance, but they never reached Rayne Maha.
It's still a lot of height difference...... Retracting his hook and looking around nervously, the knight quickly found a building that was just the right height: the Clock Tower.
Without further ado, the knight raised his shield and galloped to the clock tower against the wind. However, for some reason, Renma suddenly began to slowly turn around and move to this side. The same is true of the flying species flying high in the sky, looking at the knight in unison.
Shocked, Anusen's heart began to flutter strongly: Why are they all coming at me?
Several orange beams of light followed, all of which were flashed by the knight's sideways rolling. Even rushed into the tower with a rolling belt, he didn't have time to breathe, so he quickly ran to the top of the tower: What am I locked in?
When I used the hook before, I was definitely alerted to someone who saw it...... It shouldn't be one of these flying species. Otherwise, they would have blown me up a long time ago.
Could it be that the Black Ice Mage is in command? At the thought of this, the knight gritted his teeth: if my hook claw didn't fly too high and was still seen, I could deduce where this mage was hiding in passing.
Along the stairs of the clock tower, the knight kept speeding up his pace and speeding up. But as he passed the corner of a jogging platform, the orange beam burst open the wall and swept straight through the window in front of the knight, nearly killing him. This was followed by more than a dozen beams of light that swept from all directions, causing a violently vibrating explosion. Lying under the window, the knight managed to dodge the explosion and the crumbling rocks.
The ground shook like an earthquake, and the whole tower began to shake.
The knight was shocked, and after steasing himself a little, he began to run again: it would be half a minute before the next strafing shot. There's still a chance!
With a "click", the structure of the staircase had begun to loosen due to the explosion just now. Even, one of the stairs on the road to the heights has begun to collapse and break. Before it could fall completely to cut off the last path, the knight hurried to run, jumping over the gap and grabbing the steps of the wooden staircase.
There was a loud cracking sound, and the staircase, which had been slightly tilted, began to crumble. Before the rider could begin to climb, it plunged downward, hanging at a near-vertical angle onto the staircase, which was still connected by a tiny wooden structure.
Oops, awful! There's no place for the hook to grab it!Hurrying upwards, the knight stared in horror at the last shred of wood that was crumbling, and propped himself up to speed up. Fortunately, as soon as he climbed up, the stairs completely collapsed and fell.
It's going to be a fall, but it's completely useless...... Looking at the distant hall floor with great fear, the knight listened to the sound of wooden planks falling to the ground, took a breath, and ran up again.
With a few steps to the top, he ducked in the passage to the top to dodge a second volley of beams. Feeling these waves of light, the knight gritted his teeth as he listened to another explosion caused by Maharen's throwing eggs, and became more convinced: someone was directing these flying species.
The reason is simple, they suddenly started attacking themselves, and both attacks were volleys. It would have been more useful to spread out the attack interval and shoot a shot from time to time for each monster, but they didn't do it, which was a clear indication that they were listening to unified orders.
Where did Renne Maha fly? Could it be that he had already reached a position where I couldn't see behind the tower? Anusen frowned: it always felt that something was not right.
How could something so big disappear out of thin air...... And I always feel that the snowflakes above my head are falling a little unwell, as if they have been distorted by some ripples.
Feeling weird, the knight's sixth sense stopped his body, stopping him from advancing.
Looking out of the house vigilantly, the knight still couldn't see anything famous. Although he felt that something was not coordinated, he still looked at the interval of the beam's attack and rushed out. However, in the next moment, his heart was shocked.
Hit the plan.
There were still six hours and fifty-five minutes before Maharen landed and destroyed Beihaiwang.
