Chapter 301: Lightsaber
The drawbridge that connected the castle gates gradually came into view of Maffeo, made of thick pine trunks and looked sturdy, resting on quadrangular piers. The chains on both sides of the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion did not pull up the suspension bridge, but kept it down, as if it was deliberately luring something. Maffeo didn't even have a single guard in sight, and it really didn't look like the defense of a castle.
However, he decided to step into the forbidden area that was once only accessible to nobles, and under normal circumstances, ordinary people were never allowed to enter the castle. But now, all the usual rules don't make sense. There are only outlaws who don't want to die, not elegant aristocrats.
Maffeo sped across the drawbridge to the castle's gates, and the guessed trap showed no signs of being triggered, and it looked like it was no different. The gate was still closed, and it was impossible to open it from the outside, so Maffeo searched for another route into the castle. With almost all the places he could climb sealed, Maffeo had no choice but to draw his weapon and prepare to use Kazan's power to smash the gate open, though he didn't know if that would work.
Just as he was gathering his blood and preparing to swing his first sword, a voice from the castle walls interrupted him. "Stop, Fry!"
Maffeo followed the prestige, and he found Elias standing on the wall, looking at him with an expression that could no longer be bland. "Meyer?"
"Sooner or later, there will be guests here, and it's not until today that I understand that it all started here. Elias smiled wryly.
"What do you mean?" said Maffeo, as the captain of the garrison in Orcent, who should be directing the garrison against the rebels, rather than standing alone on the ghostly castle-like building like an outsider.
"No matter what, I can't let anyone break through this gate!" Elias jumped from the wall, and Maffeo looked at the suicidal guy in shock, but finally the guy landed firmly in front of the scaffolding next to the castle gate. "I guess you know the current situation all the way through, so you'll help me, right?"
"Well, as long as you can keep fighting. Maffeo pointed to Elias's legs, but they didn't seem unusual.
"I'm fine. Elias moved his body to show that he was intact.
"Well, I'm on your side. Maffeo turned around, facing in the direction of the drawbridge, waiting for Rose and Margarita to appear. He was almost certain that those two would definitely be here, there was no doubt about it.
There was a fierce and murderous scream from the direction the two of them were facing, and several figures appeared on the other side of the square, speeding on their running legs under the skyrocketing firelight. Margarita rushed past the crowd of guards trying to stop her, her sword in her hand like a dinner knife cutting cream, and the people she passed by turned into a cold corpse.
The second group of guards who pounced on them repeated almost the same result, the first guy was beheaded by Rose, and Margarita took the sword in both hands and swung a slash condensed with Osiris's sword energy to split everyone who remained in half. So they continued to rush towards the drawbridge, and there was no one left to stop them. Maffeo and Elias were the last line of defense at the castle gates, with at least one squad behind them.
"Look at this. Rose was the first to reach the drawbridge, and he taunted the two people on the other side of the drawbridge.
"Mr. Ham Rogers. Elias actually gave him a knightly salute.
"Mr. Meyer, I like your cultivation. But alas, we are now enemies. Rose reciprocated his courtesy, but he still taunted Maffeo, who was standing alongside Elias. "Mr. Fry, I remember that I warned you not to interfere with us, or I will make you disappear, and it seems that you have not learned to listen to the advice of others. ”
"Stop pretending, Rose. Maffeo raised his sword, not wanting to continue the nonsense with him.
"Well, oh, maybe I forgot to tell you something. He even pretended to show regret. "I think it's a shame that the magician who watched us has been consumed by the power of Osiris at this moment. ”
A sad expression flashed across Elias's face, fleeting. "Neumann......" he muttered.
"Oh, that guy's name is Neumann, what a good name, it's a shame. Ross attacked with words without mercy.
Elias suddenly and quickly stretched out his hand forward, and at the same time, his lightsaber unsheathed at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye, and the moment the hilt of the sword was touched, a lunate-shaped sword qi burst out from the blade and slashed towards Rose along the drawbridge. The second to react was Margarita, who swung her longsword and threw out an arc of sword qi to neutralize Elias's attack. Ross was the third to react, and he rushed onto the drawbridge, followed by the team members waving their weapons in their hands.
Maffeo couldn't remember how many times he had experienced such a disparity in strength, but at the moment he had only anger in his heart. So he will no longer show mercy to the guy he already sees as a mortal enemy, and he will use any method that can brutally kill the other party to crash into the guy facing him desperately.
His next movements were done almost unconsciously, and when the three guys came up and tried to surround him, his ghost hands began to condense uncontrollably. It wasn't until he realized what was happening that the power was fully unleashed. A circle of blood, almost made of blood, formed under his feet, and Maffeo even completed the rest of the movement with ease. He roared, and the muscles of the ghost hand began to writhe irregularly and strangely, and at the same time, the blood and qi were constantly converging into the blood circle. A second later, the blood qi like solid blood erupted as if the energy had reached a critical point. The pillar of blood instantly shattered the trio who tried to rush up, and Maffeo found that the eruption was not blood, but real blood. "Damn......" He should be able to think of what had just happened.
For a ghost who could get out of control at any moment, Margarita could no longer stay quietly on the other side of the drawbridge and wait for this seemingly unsuspenseful battle to end. Of course, she knew the threat of the ghosts, so she decided to cut off the head of the guy she had worked with herself.
On the other side, Elias seemed to be unable to resist and retreated, but in fact he was fighting back, but in a different way. He tucked the sword into its scabbard, then half-crouched down and closed his eyes, deliberately revealing a flaw that could be easily attacked by the other party. At least two of the guys couldn't hold themselves anymore, but they didn't act rashly under Rose's loud warning.
Although this did not affect Elias, when his eyes opened again, the sword suddenly unsheathed, and a flash of gray arc light covered the circular area with about two halves around him in the center. In desperation, Rose pushed the two guys forward, while he jumped backwards in an attempt to dodge the powerful slash. So the scaffolding and the two guys' pipes were cut open almost at the same time, and they even fell to the exact same rhythm. Rose's actions failed to cause displeasure among his subordinates, and this was the only thing that led Elias to be puzzled. Other than that, he's really just a simple madman and villain.
Rose stepped forward again, stepping over his companion's corpse, swinging his sword and stabbing at Elias' shoulderguards and breastplate. The latter spun around and shrank back, dodging Rose's attack. The former slid forward twice and pursued Elias relentlessly, trying to force him to the brink. However, Elias suddenly pulled out a short light sword out of nowhere, and instantly formed two swords and flew towards Rose to counterattack.
It was only a few seconds of face-to-face slashing at each other, and Rose could no longer parry Elias's stormy two-knife attack. He called out to his men for help, and he flicked his sword and stepped back, waiting for Elias to reveal his flaws. Although his subordinates did not complain, calmly stepping on the road to death is not the psychological quality that everyone has. In fact, they are just rushing upward, and their lives seem to have lost their meaning.
Elias stared indifferently at the seemingly fearless death-defying creatures rushing towards him, and then quickly swung his weapon. Before the first could draw his sword, the lightsaber slit his throat, and Elias then raised his dabresaber and stabbed through the second guy's chest with a ferocious thrust. The third guy came from the flank, trying to swing Elias's knee with the hilt of the long axe to get him off balance. However, Elias immediately drew his dabresaber, and after parrying the powerful swing of the axe with his blue lightsaber, he half-turned and split the poor creature and the axe in half with a jump.
Rose caught the only flaw, and he was able to use it well to deal damage to his opponents, so Elias's armor on his arm was shattered by his sword. Fortunately, the razor-sharp blade arrived in time, otherwise Elias's entire forearm would have been cut off by Rose. "Fight me like a knight in a fair duel. Elias raised his lightsaber and pointed it at Rose, not caring about the blood oozing from his left forearm.
"The last thing that is lacking in the territory of the Delos Empire is knights, so it is necessary for hooligans to exist. Rose smiled dismissively.
"There's no cure for you. Elias shook his head.
"I also never thought that the guys of the Empire could save me, only we could save ourselves. ”
"What exactly do you want?"
"Everything. ”
