Chapter 5: The Master of Shadows
The dark goggles greatly reduce the irritation of the light on the eyes, but do not reduce the brightness of the crimson tattoo, which the Moon Knight can use to discern the location of teammates. www.biquge.info So they fought in a glittering environment, no different from peacetime.
Yuri smiled, took off his goggles and put them on his head, and stood up with his chest in defiance. And the opponent slowly approached in the fog, and the long sword in his hand spun in a circle at will.
Yuri said loudly, "My greatsword is stained with shards of starsteel, so you can see where I am. And when you beat me just now, my sword was stained with my blood, and I forgot to tell you that my nose is smarter than a dog. β
The man held up his sword as if to look under his eyes. Yuri then smiled evilly.
"Wind Magic: Mist Wardrobe!"
The Mirror of Shadows emits pitch-black light, simulating a magical array of winds, creating a gust of wind out of thin air to blow away the mist.
The opponent took off the goggles in the fog in order to observe Yuri's position. And now that his eyes were very close to the Star Steel Sword, and the mist dissipated in a hurry, he didn't have time to put on the goggles, so he was immediately moved to tears by his weapon.
Yuri screamed and said, "How is it! I have finally had a good look at your beautiful weapon today!"
Then a sword hilt slammed the guy to the ground.
Before the knight fainted, he still sneered hard and said: "The Moon Shadow Knights are not a simple knight order, 'Moon' and 'Shadow' represent one team respectively, although your mist has restrained us, but I'm sorry, the detachment called 'Shadow' has already gone towards your friend before you even noticed it." β
Yuri sat beside him nonchalantly: "So what?"
"Don't you care about your companions?"
"I care, but I'm not worried. Yuri grinned, "My friend, nicknamed Reaper's Advisor, is much tougher than I am. β
While Yuri was fighting the Moon Knights' "Moon Detachment", the "Shadow Detachment", which was so dark that even their breath was hidden, infiltrated Vicky and Princess Flora. Taking advantage of the fact that the Moon Detachment used fancy weapons to attract the attention of the enemy's main force, the Shadow Detachment launched a deadly surprise attack on the back row of the enemy army, which was originally the tactic that the Moon Shadow Knights relied on to become famous.
The Shadow Detachment burst into flames in the darkness of the night and leapt high into the sky, drawing their daggers, even their blades were pure black, and only against the background of the deep blue night sky could they barely see their ghostly figures.
They said to Virgy: "Stinky boy, remember to tell your comrades-in-arms in the next life, don't just worry about fighting with the people in front of you, you must know how to keep an eye on your back!"
Princess Flora, sitting in the carriage, was thrilled and shouted, "Flee!
Virgi didn't say anything, just smiled slightly, and snapped his fingers.
The weapons that the Shadow Detachment had stabbed in the air suddenly became unable to advance for half a minute, as if an invisible hand was holding their weapon and pulling it backwards.
Virgi opened his eyes: "Friends, I hope you can remember in your life, don't just worry about fighting with the people in front of you, and know how to pay attention to what is behind you." β
The Shadow Detachment looked behind them in horror, only to see that the brightly colored horse that was originally carrying Virgi had already circled behind them, and on its horse's buttocks, there were overlapping magnetic runes, and the magic circle of the runes was flashing with a light purple glow!
It was the massive magnetic field emitted by these runes that pulled at the Shadow Detachment's weapons, preventing them from stabbing Virgy.
Two of the less powerful knights were dragged towards Ray by the magnetic force of their swords, and Ray unceremoniously flew up with his hind hooves and kicked the two into the air.
"Your Royal Highness, thank you for your information. β
Princess Flora nodded hurriedly, extremely admired in her heart, she was just in a hurry to tell Virgil the general information of the Moon Shadow Knights, for example, the weapons of the Moon Detachment are made of Star Steel, and the weapons of the Shadow Detachment are made of dark iron, one bright, one dark, one black and one white, Virj actually took less than half a minute to accurately grasp the Achilles' heel of this team and design a strategy against the enemy.
These two people are still down, probably just by chance.
Virgi stood up and said to the Shadow Detachment, who had lost their weapons, "Everyone, please retreat, please don't hinder the princess's return to her hometown, and don't embarrass us again. I don't want to see anyone hurt. β
"Stinky boy, our team has been learning swordsmanship since the age of seven. β
The Shadow Detachment grinned and tensed their muscles, causing the bones on their bodies to rattleβ
"But we have been practicing the art of killing with empty hands since we were five years old. β
"Don't break the carriage, or you'll regret it. Virgy warned quietly.
"Don't fool me, boy!"
The Shadow Detachment jumped up angrily, only to hear a bang, and several pairs of deep footprints appeared on the ground around the carriage, but the figures were gone, which showed the strength and speed of the jumps of these guys.
In the blink of an eye, the richly decorated roof of the carriage had been lifted off, torn apart in the air by an invisible force. The golden moonlight shone into the carriage, and the Shadow Detachment saw not only the princess's panicked face, but also the daggers, arrows, and thistles that had been quietly placed on the underside of the carriage, suddenly vibrating violently due to some disturbance.
The captain of the Shadow Detachment saw the magnetic runes in the surrounding sky at the same time, and his heart said that it was over, and the sinister smile that he thought he had succeeded froze on his face.
I saw that those metal murder weapons suddenly soared into the air like a swarm of locusts, and in just one second, the entire team of the Shadow Detachment in pain in the air was colored.
"Originally, on the roof of the carriage, I drew a magic circle to seal the magic power, so the magnetic runes suspended outside would not affect the weapons in the carriage. Who knows that you will not be persuaded? β
Virgil led the princess out of the carriage and said politely, "I'm very sorry for the frightening Your Highness." β
Princess Flora blinked, "Virgi, not only did you anticipate the way to defeat the Shadow Detachment, but you even left a way for them to survive in advance, right?"
Without waiting for Virgi to nod, Flora said excitedly: "It's not difficult to defeat the enemy, but there is still extra energy to leave a way for the enemy to survive in the battle, and the premise must be that you are several orders of magnitude stronger than them! You must be an SR-level adventurer, no! Even an SSR-level adventurer! If you can, come to our country to be a big official!"
Virgi shook his hand in embarrassment: "I don't follow Yuri, I can't rest assured." β
"It doesn't matter, just let him be a little guard in Sorantiel too. β
Yuri was originally walking back with a smile on his face, but when he heard this, he fell directly to the ground.
"Hey, the gap between me and Virgie isn't that big!"
Suddenly, a deep voice sounded in the wilderness.
"I know that my knights are not waste, but I didn't expect that Her Royal Highness Princess Flora would indeed find a good helper this time. β
The surrounding sky suddenly darkened several times, and the air suddenly became heavy. If the murderous aura of the enemy army just now was to break the long grass, then this much more terrible murderous aura now made these grasses not even have the courage to break, so they could only freeze and move.
Flora, who was still laughing just now, was drenched in a cold sweat, and when she saw the dark shadows around her, sucking all the Moon Shadow Knights who had fallen to the ground into the darkness, she said in great panic: "Yuri, Virgi, I'm afraid my journey back to China will end here." It seems that this operation, the leader of the Moon Shadow Knight, who is not easy to get out of the horse, has also arrived in person. β
Yuri also realized that the atmosphere was not good, but he still had the courage to say, "Are you so nervous? β
But he also knew that 90% of the credit for dealing with General Baker before was due to Virgil's careful deployment, and if it wasn't for Virgil's clever trick to blow up General Baker's unbreakable heavy armor, the two of them would have only been hung up and beaten.
"There's no need to be deliberate. The princess's eyes were red, although she was unwilling to let her plan to return to China fail again, she was unwilling to let these two newly met friends die here in vain, and said with a forced smile, "My mission is only D-class, so there is no need to take it so seriously." You've worked very hard to escort me here, I ...... I'll give you a good review. β
Yuri stood with his sword facing away from the princess, and his eyes turned back resolutely: "I have been a knight since I was a child. The knight's first priority is to finish the task to the end. Don't look at me like this, I'm also a person who has experienced war. β
"War ......" The princess put her hands on her chest and whispered unbearably.
"Unexpected enemies can appear on the battlefield at any time, such as the Cyclops, such as the Black Dragon General Brian Della. β
Yuri grinned with a burning fighting spirit: "Could it be that when we meet this kind of guy, we won't fight?"
Virgi also smiled and shrugged his eyebrows: "My regimental commander is this temper. So, Your Highness Princess, please tell me everything you know. β
Flora felt inexplicably encouraged, and hurriedly nodded and replied, "The opponent's name is Calder, known as the Shadow Sect, and he is a master of using shadows. He can change the form of the shadow and condense the shadow into a variety of murderous creatures to launch an all-round assault on the target. β
The black shadow spread on the ground, as if to demonstrate the princess's explanation, and slowly swam towards the carriage, which instantly bounced off the ground and turned into several giant scythes, chopping the carriage to pieces.
Countless monsters slowly rose from the shadows, like human shapes made of asphalt, with sharp claws, or scythes, or in the shape of machetes themselves, or with exposed sharp teeth, and dripping black droplets from their bodies...... The most accurate description of their appearance is enough in one sentence.
They grow like this just to kill enemies most conveniently.
