Chapter 109: The Fight Again (I)
How do you get rid of fear, or how do you get yourself back from the trembling? This question has different answers for different people. Battle-hardened warriors will say they believe in your weapons and companions, those who have faith will say they feel guidance from the heavens, and for Cheese, the only way to get rid of fear is to understand it. He has always believed that as long as you understand what you are afraid of, and you are familiar with all its changes and actions, then you will never be afraid of it again. So when the mage is confronted with the things that have scared him, he does not choose to run away or blindly fight, he chooses to try to understand what makes him afraid.
This habit has put Cheese in danger many times, but it has also allowed him to gain more from those horrific experiences than others. And when facing those enemies with twisted bodies, although the roar of the giant wolf has relieved the abnormal fear of several people, the strange form of those knights alone is enough to make people frightened. This also caused Elsa and Mona to face the enemy, although they did not have the same desire to fight as before, but the unconsciously backward pace also revealed the fear in their hearts.
In contrast, Cheese's performance was the mage's choice to move forward in the face of the knights who were silently running. He wasn't afraid, in fact, the cheese was not much less afraid than the boss, but what the mage couldn't accept was this fear of ignorance, and he was eager to understand what he feared, to understand their causes, to understand their results, to understand ...... What they look like on the dissection table!
"Snorr. Looking at the cheese that unconsciously walked to his side, the gray giant wolf exhaled softly. In Louise's eyes, she could tell that Cheese's mental state was not normal at this time, and if fear was a mechanism derived by humans to protect themselves, then the mage's appearance at this time was a false feedback to this mechanism. The cowardly, of course, is helpless, but the person who has fallen into some worse state out of fear like Cheese at this time is very dangerous, and in the memory of the wolf witch, she remembers that such people have a common name, berserker.
A spellcaster with a Berserker personality is a fun combination. Louise thought. The time she had to have to think about these things quickly vanished, and as the knights got closer, the wolf's body slowly entered a combat state, her back arched, her muscles building up strength, ready to let them feel the power of the wolfwalker as the enemy came into range.
On the streets of the Iron Castle, two silent teams collided in the same quiet manner. As Sander had done before, the knights didn't look like any creatures, but they did have entities of their own, and in that case, the wolf's terrifying power was enough to make them roll on their backs the moment they made contact. Compared to the black bear incarnated by the vampire, the wolf form of the wolf witch is obviously more suitable for combat, and unlike the simple imitation of the blood clan, this combat form that has been refined over the years is a mechanism that every werewolf integrates into his instincts, and even compared to fighting in human form, wolf walkers are better at controlling such bodies.
The sweeping front paws completely broke the rushing horse from below the knee, and the wolf's unmatched strength and speed did not even give the opponent the slightest time to react. If they were worried about the other party's strange form of some troublesome curses or magic, then Louise didn't have the slightest concern when attacking these guys, and the magically immune wolfwalker didn't have to care about what the other party was attached to when attacking. And when the giant wolf was wantonly charging in the formation of the deformed knights, Cheese also fought with a few knights who were far away from the wolf witch.
The knight's sword flashed with a low wind sound with his head down, the mage didn't want to have the power to overturn a man and a horse like the wolfwalkers, but that didn't mean that the cheese couldn't cause trouble to his opponent. With a cold snort, the one-handed sword in Cheese's hand slashed through a trail like a silver moon, and the position of his slash was the hind leg of his opponent's mount. However, things were not as natural as Cheese thought, and with the sound of chopping into smoked leather, the one-handed sword in the mage's hand did not bring any damage to the warhorse, but the shock from his right hand made Cheese's center of gravity unstable.
"Hum!" is the most taboo thing for infantry and knights to stare at, because if you don't look around with all your might, you won't be able to know which direction the next enemy will be riding fast horses and sending their weapons into your body. Cheese had clearly made the mistake now, and while he was concentrating all his energy on a futile attack, the knight from the left swung his mace at the mage's head. The heavy weapons combined with the speed of the horses, and the sound of the spikes on the mace breaking through the air was the call of death.
Cheese heard the terrible sound, and he instinctively wanted to dodge the blow sideways, but the horse that the mage had tried to cut down just now stretched out a tentacle and grabbed his right arm, and the power in this tentacle was so great that Cheese could not break free in this short period of time. Seeing the mace coming towards the mage's face, the cheese at this time was unavoidable.
"Get out of here!" a strong, non-human roar came from his ears, followed by a humanoid black shadow blocking between the mage and the knight. This person is definitely not Elsa or Mona, first of all, aside from the voice, from behind, this person who suddenly appeared is at least two meters tall, and he is a head taller than most humans who know Si!
Although he didn't recognize this person's identity for a while, this did not prevent the mage from witnessing what that person was doing, only to see that in the face of the menacing knight, that person stopped the impact of the mace with only one hand! He actually held the hammer rod in the hand of the knight in the high-speed impact, and made such a scene that defied common sense, this person's hand actually stopped so steadily, neither the bones were shattered by the impact force on the hammer, nor the whole person was sent flying, he just stood in place.
And since this man stood still, the unlucky knight who had been armed by him naturally became the one who suffered. The weapon was held by the opponent, and the impact of the speed naturally acted on its master, and the handle of the hammer that had not had time to let go hit the knight's chest like a hammer, although it was no longer human flesh and blood, but the huge force still made its body collapse, and the splattered flesh and pus were as violent as fireworks. The knight was hung on his weapon.
The war horse that lost its owner still maintained its momentum and galloped forward, and there was an obvious torn wound where the knight and the war horse met, and it seemed that with the "help" of this person, this person was split into two individuals again and again.
"Whoa!" let out an inhuman roar, and the man threw his weapon to the ground, along with the knight hanging from it. At this time, Cheese saw that the man's hand was not a human palm at all, but more like the wolf claw of the giant wolf that Louise incarnated over there. Moreover, the mage thought that it was because of the light that he couldn't see the details of the person's body, but at this time, it turned out that the person's body was covered with black fluff on the skin that should have been exposed except for the part of the clothes, no wonder the mage could only see a black shadow flashing just now.
Although it is certain that he has never seen a person of this shape before, Cheese has a sense of familiarity in his heart for no reason when he looks at this person's back, but he has no time to delve into this feeling on the battlefield. Because the next wave of knights is already coming.
