There was a muffled "thump".

Dennis Ilya used his shield to block the slap of the boiling water element, the huge force was like the impact of a heavy hammer, and his left hand was a little numb, but the trainee knight still steadily parried the opponent's attack and did not take half a step back.

In fact, Dennis knew that taking a few steps back would better offload the attack of the boiling water element, and the militiamen on both sides who were also holding iris shields would also step forward to respond, so that he could take the opportunity to recover his strength. This is a better way to deal with it, rather than blindly carrying it and being reckless like I am now.

But Dennis didn't want anyone around him to see him retreating, even if it was just a small step.

Whether it is not to tarnish the glory because of this, or it is simply vanity, in any case, the word "back" is not a good word in Dennis's opinion.

It was the fourth hot spring, and Dennis never took a step back in the fight.

The tip of the Boiling Water Elemental limb splashed in all directions like a wave crashing against a reef. However, this was nothing for Dennis, who was dressed in dark silver family heirloom full-body armor, a traditional griffin helmet, and a cotton overcoat over the armor, and the splashing hot water droplets did not cause him any real harm, but the steaming water would block his vision.

Flowing water is invisible, gathering and scattering. Dennis knew that the broken arm of the boiling water elemental would soon be restored, and then the violent impact of the torrent, accompanied by heat and steam, would strike again.

Taking advantage of the gap between the attacks of the boiling water element, the trainee knight swung the long sword clenched in his right hand violently.

The longsword, called 'Breath of the West Wind', is a magical longsword that is enchanted. "Breath of the West Wind, Downwind with the Wind", the magic attached to the sword can make the wielder's attacks faster and faster. Dennis was initially uncomfortable with it, but now he is able to handle it with ease.

The longsword, like the dark silver armor "Broken Halberd" on his body, is Dennis's family heirloom.

This set of equipment was supposed to be worn on Dennis's father's body, after all, the man was not yet fifty, and he was in the prime of life, and he could completely fight in armor like Sir Yarman, and it was far from the time to inherit the equipment.

But his father was too fat to wear this suit of armor ten years ago. Years of clerical work and aristocratic entertainment made the man's belly as enlarged as a pregnant woman waiting to give birth, which made Dennis, who had always followed his father's example in his childhood, quite ashamed of this.

Knights should not be like this, we are aristocrats, but we should not be the same as those who waste most of their time at balls and socializing.

We are knights first and foremost, protectors of the kingdom, and secondly nobles, the privileged class of the kingdom, Dennis has always thought so.

The magic stone on the hilt of the magic longsword glowed slightly, making him swing his sword much faster. From right to left, the blade slashed through the shoulders of the boiling water elemental on the left side, and then struck the boiling water elemental's body that was in a state of flux.

The 'Breath of the West Wind' slashed into the translucent body of the Boiling Water Elemental, and Dennis felt some resistance coming from the blade, but these resistance could not stop the blade from advancing, and the next moment, the 'Breath of the West Wind' came out of his body.

Dennis swung again, and the sword slashed through the body of the boiling water elemental again.

The body that had been cut open by the boiling water elemental quickly healed, and the broken arms and shoulders slowly returned to their original state.

The attack seemed to be ineffective, but Dennis knew that if he hit it a dozen more times, the boiling water elemental would explode into a puddle of ordinary hot water, and then a crystalline blue elemental core would appear in the center of the puddle of hot water, something like this had happened several times before.

However, only his and Sir Yarman's weapons could do this, and no matter how many times the other people's weapons hit the boiling water elemental, no matter how much they shattered the boiling water elemental, the large pale blue water mass that constantly emitted steam could slowly recover as before.

When it came time to clean the boiling water element in the third hot spring, the Nord man tried to do it without giving up. His attack was so powerful that the two arms used by the boiling water elemental attack were easily chopped apart, the boiling water arrows cast were repeatedly interrupted, and the well-fitting blows were easily dodged, so that the boiling water elemental could not organize even an effective attack.

The Nord's inconspicuous long sword went in and out of the body of the boiling water elemental forty or fifty times, and the large blue water mass even became half the size of before, but it was still full of life, until Sir Arman could not see it, and stepped forward and scattered it with three swords, turning it into a puddle of ordinary liquid.

Only magical weapons can truly harm these purely elemental creatures, and Dennis knows this, but he doesn't know how it works. But he didn't want to know. He is a knight, not a teacher, and a knight should do the things of a knight, such as defending justice, for example, defending the weak......

The healed boiling water elemental fit slammed into Dennis like a mad angry bull being teased.

I should have dodged, but I couldn't. If I were left behind by helpless women and children, my avoidance would inevitably put them in danger.

Although there is nothing behind me now, I should be prepared for this! Yes, a qualified knight should be more demanding of himself, more strict!

He imagined a horrified and helpless group of villagers behind him, and imagined that the boiling water elemental in front of him was a powerful, evil, and invincible Balor Flame Demon (at least both were hot).

As a knight, you can't let this evil creature hurt the innocent!

"Glory is my life," Dennis shouted inwardly.

He lifted his shield and leaned forward, his upper body well protected by a half-human-tall iris-shaped shield. With another muffled "thump", Dennis gritted his teeth and resisted the impact of the boiling water elemental fit.

And he didn't retreat half a step.

Ha, I succeeded again, I protected the villagers behind me again, Dennis thought with some excitement. Now it's your turn, evil one, and get back to your elemental plane, this is not the place for you!

The magic crystal on the hilt of the sword shone again, and the 'Breath of the West Wind' repeatedly whistled through the body of the boiling water elemental. When the long sword in his hand didn't know how many times it hit the boiling water element in front of him, Dennis found that the flowing body of the elemental creature began to shrink unsteadily, and it seemed that it could no longer maintain its form.

"Back off!" Dennis shouted.

He saw that the two shield-wielding militiamen skillfully distanced themselves from the boiling water elemental, but instead of doing so, he stood still and held his shield aloft to protect his head.

With a crisp "pop", Dennis felt that the shield in his hand, the armor on his body, and the overcoat were all hit by the splashing water droplets. The smock was wet, and steam was coming out.

Dennis ignored it, which he had become accustomed to. The coat and armor hadn't been done since the battle at the first hot spring, and it seems that they need to be properly maintained after the battle.

There was a round of applause around, and although the applause was warm, it was very lonely, and it seemed that there was only one person. Dennis didn't have to look to know that the man was his subordinate, George Donn.

In addition to George, there were quite a few people who watched his fight, including Sir Yarman and the Nord.

Sir nodded to him, and motioned for him to get some rest, and the group was ready to go to the last and largest hot spring.

The four hot springs that have been cleared, each of which has 3~4 boiling water elements, and generally the shield-wielding militia and adventurers will drag 1 or 2 of them, and then Sir Yarman and he will destroy their respective elemental creatures, and then continue to destroy the rest.

Each time Sir Yarman was eliminated faster than him, Dennis knew it had something to do with the weapons in Sir Lord's hands. 'Breath of the West Wind' does not directly provide damage, which is not the case with the one in Jazz's hand.

"You've done a great job, sir. Hu ran over to George and said to him with a smile. Dennis glared at the servant who liked to play tricks, and the latter continued to compliment him unconcernedly, "This is already the fourth, nay, fifth large water mass that you have eliminated. ”

"It's the Boiling Water Elemental!" he corrected.

"Yes, that's the name, the old butler has said it many times, but I can't remember it. George grinned and said, "You're so smart!"

His servant always liked to cause trouble, and he didn't care about knighthood, but he was very clever, and he spoke and acted in a relaxed way, and Dennis liked this young man who was less than ten years younger than himself.

Since George is my servant, I should make myself an example for him!" Dennis kept thinking. And not to disappoint those who worship him, as his father did.

Just as Dennis wanted to rely on his previous good performance to educate George and return him to the way of knighthood, the tall and sturdy Nord also walked up to him.

The Nord looked at him with a strange expression, and after a long silence, he said to him, "Actually, you can dodge those attacks by retreating. The Nord spoke softly, as if trying to make their voice sound well-written, "Dodging is sometimes more effective than hard resistance, and it also saves a lot of physical strength to deal with unexpected accidents." ”

Dennis knew the Nord was saying this for his own good, but, "In that case, the villagers would be in danger." He replied politely.

"Villagers?" the Nord people were a little confused, "Where are the villagers?"

Cut, you don't understand it.
