The silver-white spear of light collided with the pitch-black sword...... It can also be said that the spear that was slashed back forced back the master who was blocked with a Western sword.
The difference in the size of the weapon is there, and if you slash hard, the sword in your hand will break...... What he is holding in his hand is not a legendary artifact that has been refined into steel, nor is it the masterpiece of a famous craftsman, so I'm really embarrassed.
does not deny that the master's strength is inadequate, because he has injuries on his body, and Rodriguez, who knows this well, fights and retreats.
"You'd better tie it down...... The glory of the knight made me not allowed to fight with the wounded guys. Forcing Rodriguez back again, the paladin chief who was fighting against him stopped and said in a deep voice.
"That's impossible. If you take me back, I may be better off than dead. "It's obviously an enemy of life and death, but the gentle tone makes people listen to it as if they are a casual conversation between friends...... The dark fighting aura on the blade was still covered, representing the vigilance of the master.
Rodriguez shook his head and rejected the proposal.
"I've heard your name, a genius from a hundred years ago, a wanted fallen knight...... Why, do you want to be in the company of evil? What changed you?" With an oppressive momentum, the knight took a step forward, and his voice became more and more amplified: "Answer me, Rod Gris. β
"Is this what I described in the classics?" I guess no one would have imagined that the wanted criminal a hundred years ago still looks like a young man today. If the only difference is the color of the hair and the color of the eyes. Rodriguez chuckled softly: "There's nothing to say, the truth is as it says in the books...... Although I don't think of myself as a depravity, but growth. β
After a pause, Rodriguez continued in a pleasant and soft voice: "Ideals are ideals after all, and it is sad that you still do not realize that that unrealistic ideals are impossible to achieve. β
"Ridiculous!" the chief knight interrupted Rodriguez's seductive voice with his weapon. "I finally know why those girls who died for you are so willing. "The other day, the weak girls who had raided the Central Holy See by disrupting discipline to their deaths had moved the knight chief with a frenzy before death.
"There is a demagogic spirit in your language!" Rao is determined knight captain almost lost his mind.
β...... This is reallyβ" Rodriguez was silent for a moment, not acquiescing, of course. Indeed, I considered becoming a bard selling singing voices...... "at least I should be better than I am now."
I was born with it, and I can't help it.
"It's over. The chief knight stopped his attack.
"Hmm?" Rodriguez unexpectedly looked at the magic circle that appeared at his feet at some point.
The conversation of the chief knight was not without meaning. Behind him, the white-clothed priests had already formed a sealing circle while the two were talking.
"Seven Stars Lock Array...... ? "The holy and bright brilliance on the surface of the six-pointed star array dispelled the darkness of the passage. Standing in the center of the somewhat glaring circle, Rodriguez raised his sword blade and gently probed forward, and the surface of the blade immediately turned red with a burning red and sizzling sound. "Sure enough, it's this. Not distressed by the slight damage to his weapon, Rodriguez just nodded and verified his thoughts.
"It seems that I can't get out......" This star array is especially suppressive for necromancers who have dark energy in their bodies, and as a sealing circle, it also has a debilitating effect that slowly erodes the subject's body.
"It seems to be self-aware. The chief knight also withdrew his weapon, and the battle was over...... All that remains is to wait for the follow-up combatants to take charge of escorting him back.
"Although this seal cast by multiple people is powerful, it also has side effects...... During this period, the mage who performed this trick was supposed to be unable to move. That is, defenselessness. Rodriguez looked at the white-clad priests behind the knights, who were surrounded by a small group of knights...... Fortunately, I read a lot during church time, and it is good to have knowledge.
"What do you want to say?" the chief knight was wary.
"Maybe I've got a way to get out of this circle...... I just don't know if the solution is feasible. Coughing up a mouthful of blood, Rodriguez proved himself physically weak. Even so, the weak appearance did not bring much relaxation to the knight, but only increased vigilance.
"You should know that...... In order to avoid your pursuit, I was forced to enter the ruins of this crisis. "It's a relic rather than a death trial. "Don't you want to know, why did I, who fought with you, choose this direction?" Speaking of this, a hint of inexplicable smile appeared on the expression of the black-haired handsome young man.
"Through these two days of observation, I have finally figured out the trap arrangement of the builders of this ruin. Rodriguez gestured to his feet. There was a hint of tiredness in his voice. "However, to avoid exposure, it is really hard to fight you in order to guide you from stepping on the trap. "What caught the eye of the chief knight was the brain-draining look of the black-haired young man who 'it's really troublesome to take care of a stupid person'.
"?!" is it impossible to say...... The chief knight was in disbelief.
"In a sense, I'm taking care of you, too. Lest the enemy be trapped and killed, Rodriguez suddenly felt that he was very merciful...... It seems to be a disadvantage, but it was not Rodriguez who guided the battle between the two from beginning to end.
"Impossible! since you have that strength, why don't you just -" The knight chief roared in annoyance as he was teased by his opponent who didn't do his best at all, and listening to his relaxed tone.
"You know, learning to conserve physical strength is also the consciousness that a warrior should have. "Not to mention the case of injury......
Rodriguez took two small steps back in an eerie oblique way, stepping on one of the somewhat raised floor tiles; Although it is a sealing circle, the defense should be quite good...... Thank you so much for taking care of you. The black-haired young man sighed lightly.
The objects in the sealing circle can't get out, and similarly, the guys outside can't get in...... In other words, it is also an absolute defensive wall.
As Rodriguez's words fell, there were slender spikes that rapidly erupted around the walls of the passage.
Of course, the paladins have encountered a lot of such traps along the way, and it is very easy to deal with...... The problem is that it's impossible to stay put. Dealing with simplicity is not the same as being completely adaptable.
The knights began to defend in some panic, because of carelessness, another knight stepped on the second trap - Rodriguez said, this is the center of the trap area.
Arrows, vanishing floors, poisonous gases, spikes from the ground, blades that have grazed through the pinnacles...... In this way, a series of traps emerged one after another.
In the state of watching the play, Rodriguez stood on the defensive wall - oh, wrong, it was the sealing circle that imprisoned himself. Watch as the knights are scrambling.
Because of the powerful sealing magic, the priests could not act, so the knights had to protect themselves while also protecting the priests...... The long pursuit, coupled with the lack of sleep, caused a lack of concentration, and as a result, some knights began to be seriously injured.
"Fools, don't hurry up and treat my men!" the chief knight retreated to his men's side and began to defend, his eyes flushed as he watched as one of his men was seriously wounded in the throat to protect the priests. The chief knight couldn't help but lift the protected priest and shouted.
"But my lord, the prisoner's sealing array!" the priest explained, with some trepidation.
"Don't you see it yet?The sealing array is useless! Now, I command you to find a way to protect yourself and heal my knights! Immediately!" As he spoke, the knight chief used the knight's spear in his hand to block and deflect an arrow.
"Yes...... Yes!!"
............
"It looks like I can't see the end. Finding that the sealing array was rapidly weakening, Rodriguez retracted his gaze regretfully in front of the stage play performed by the knights.
Because it is not the center of the trap, and the trap here has not been touched, with his super high observation, Rodriguez turned around without hurry...... Ready to withdraw.
"Hmm?" At that moment, there seemed to be a sound above my head.
Rodriguez noticed a stone that had hit his feet, and because of the moss, it didn't make much noise when it fell to the ground.
Unexpectedly, Rodriguez bent down and picked up the stone...... Because of their daily habits, intellectuals subconsciously think about why stones fall from the sky.
Looking up, Rodriguez saw a pitch-black hole in the stone wall above his head.
"It's ...... "The entrance of the dark cave, Rodriguez, who raised his head, couldn't see the scene inside.
Of course, that's not the point, the point is that there seems to be movement inside...... It seems that there is a child's wail?
Directly below the hole, his instinct told Rodriguez to take even a few steps back and not stand still now...... However, at this moment, a slight look of pain appeared on his face, and Rodriguez covered his chest, and the suppressed injury actually recurred at this moment.
Forgetting what he had just thought, Rodriguez had to take a few seconds to suppress his condition, which also meant that it slowed down the time to escape...... Fortunately, the knights behind him were still in a state of being trapped.
At this time, the surroundings were noisy, and Rodriguez thought that the wailing of the little child he had just heard seemed to be an illusion.
However, right away, it was denied!
Because-
Bang!
What fell from the hole above his head happened to hit Rodriguez's body in a dead way...... Yami, with the wings of a fallen angel, was thrown from the hole above.
Bang!
Then the second one to fall was Yash. Because of the cushion on the wings, it didn't hurt too much...... "Brother, brother, are you okay?" Ash, who fell on top of his brother, shook his head first, and then hurriedly helped his brother up...... As for the guy pressing under his brother, he didn't care.
"Woo~~~" It's okay, Yami's head is just a little confused..."Great, brother, I seem to be fine-!" touched the surroundings of his body, and he didn't seem to be injured. (Because there is a meat pad~~)
Just as Yami shouted and hugged her brother, another figure fell from above...... Yami, who had just woken up, and Yash who was being held in his arms fell back again.
Rodriguez, who was pressed at the bottom of the "......", did not move.
Flicked her silver hair, and Alice, who was the last to come down, stepped on the arhat that the three of them had folded with their bodies, and looked around.
"It seems, safe to get on the base?"
