559. "The Red Knight" and the Unicorn
Scott casually arranged the magic to prevent the sound from spreading.
"What's wrong with the unicorns?" He asked Savanna.
Savana frowned tightly.
"That's not a unicorn." "They don't have the purity of unicorns," she affirmed. ”
"I didn't perceive it."
Scott looked at the unicorns drinking on the other side of the creek.
They are pure white and shining, with vigorous posture and graceful movements, and even the fluctuations of magic power are indistinguishable from the unicorns in the Forbidden Forest.
But the forest itself was strange, and he didn't doubt Savana's words.
The expression on Sawanna's face was tense throughout.
She whispered, "Wait, we'll move on when they're gone."
Scott nodded.
The two hid behind a tree, watching through the gaps in the leaves.
It didn't take long for the unicorns to drink their water, turn around and leave.
But when you take them into the forest on the other side of the stream, they suddenly disappear.
In Scott's sight, the unicorns hadn't traveled far, their fur was still so conspicuous, and there was no shelter in the forest on the other side, but they had disappeared like that.
It's like being erased by an invisible eraser.
"What's going on?" He narrowed his eyes.
"It's dangerous in the forest on the other side." "There must be something terrible in there," Sawanna said. ”
Scott stepped out from behind the tree, came to the stream, and looked at the other side.
"But we had to go."
He turned to Sawana, who was following him.
"It's only through this forest that we can truly reach the heart of Avalon, right?"
"You're right."
Savana walked over to him, looking at the other side as well.
"And we have to cross this forest in the dark, and it's even more dangerous at night."
Scott laughed, "Let's go, then." ”
So saying, he stepped forward and prepared to jump to the other bank through the stones in the stream.
"Wait, don't touch this water."
Savana stopped her.
She lifted her long wooden staff and plunged it into the dirt by the stream.
A few thick green vines grew out of the dirt, tangled with each other, and quickly spread towards the opposite bank, soon forming a natural arch bridge.
"It's safer."
She smiled at Scott and walked up the arch bridge.
"I can make it safer."
Scott waved his wand casually.
The vines form a green arch bridge, inch by inch, turning into a brightened metallic color.
He changed the material of the arch bridge into titanium.
Sawanna just nodded and didn't say anything more.
The two climbed onto the arch bridge, and soon came to the center of the bridge.
"Boom la la ......"
At this moment, the murmuring water of the stream suddenly sounded.
Scott looked under the bridge and found that the shallow water had somehow turned into deep water that he couldn't forget.
On one side of the arch bridge, a huge vortex is forming.
"Let's go!"
With a green halo shrouded in green, Savanna reached out and pulled Scott and sped forward.
"Boom la la ......"
The water suddenly rose four or five meters high from the whirlpool.
"Fly!"
Savana let go of Scott's hand, and instantly turned into an eagle and flew towards the forest on the other side.
Scott didn't hesitate and flew directly behind her as a peregrine falcon.
The two of them had flown as fast as they could, but within a few seconds, although they were out of the stream, a huge shadow suddenly hung over them.
Scott directly turned back into a human body and landed on the ground, looking up at the palm that covered the sky and the sun above.
It was a huge palm made entirely of flowing streams, and Scott could even see the aquatic plants swept through it.
At this point, the palm of the hand was slapping in the direction they were, from top to bottom.
Scott heard Savana chanting the incantation, and in an instant, several green vines with roots thicker than a human but very sharp at the top pierced straight towards the palm of the hand like spears.
Then, she grabbed Scott's wrist again and quickly backed away.
"Boom!"
The giant palm formed by the water collided with the vines, and instantly turned into a formless stream of water and fell to the ground.
"Armor protection!"
A transparent magical barrier shrouded in the splash.
"Is there a Green Knight here too?"
Scott watched as the water beads slid up and down the magic barrier.
Sawanna shook her head, "I don't know. ”
At this point, the currents gathered together as if consciously, and retreated into the stream.
"Roaring ......"
A dull roar came from the stream.
"Let's go, let's get out of here!" Savana wanted to leave directly.
But at this moment, the group of unicorns suddenly appeared silently behind them, surrounding their back road.
Sawana exclaimed, "Their eyes ......"
Scott watched as the unicorns' eyes slowly turned red, and finally turned blood-red as if they could shed blood.
Whoa......
The stream was tall again, and this time, the current directly changed into a human form.
The humanoid form is similar to that of the Green Knight in the swamp, but much taller, almost the same height as Ymir, and has no mounts.
And, like the unicorns, the giant humanoid with the changing currents of the water also has a pair of breathtaking blood-red eyes.
As its eyes shimmered red, it was as if red paint had been poured into the water, and the currents that made up its body were slowly dyed red.
It opened its mouth wide and let out a beastly roar at Scott and Savanna.
"Roaring ......"
"Is this the green knight of the tuba?" Scott asked Savanna.
Sawana's face was a little solemn, "Maybe it's the Red Knight!" ”
"Red Knight?"
"I'm talking nonsense, isn't it turning red?"
“……”
Da Da Da ......
Behind them, the unicorns were also standing still, bowing their heads and aiming their horns at them, as if they were gaining momentum.
"Did these unicorns become what they are because they drank that water?" Scott guessed.
"Who knows!"
Savana held up her long wooden staff.
"Purify!"
The vibrant green light instantly spread out and landed on the "Red Knight" and the unicorn.
Zizizi......
Under the green light, the Red Knight and the unicorn simultaneously emitted crimson smoke, and at the same time, their mouths let out a cry of pain.
But they didn't back down.
"Roar!"
The "Red Knight" roared again, and his blood-red right hand turned into a spinning spear, stabbing heavily towards the magic barrier.
At the same time, the unicorns rushed over, one after the other, charging at the barrier of magic with their unicorns.
Scott sped up the mana output in his hand and continued to strengthen the mana barrier.
Bang, bang, bang......
The sound of collision rang out one after another.
Neither the "Red Knight" nor the unicorn was able to break through the magical barrier that was blessed by Scott at all times.
Savana's long wooden staff still glowed with a vibrant green glow.
The green light shone on Scott, and he felt his body lighten, fatigue slowly disappearing, and the mana consumed was recovering faster.
The flowers and trees illuminated by the green light are also becoming more and more vibrant.
But the Red Knight and the unicorn were always suffering from the green light, and blood red smoke was coming out of their mouths and noses.
As the smoke increased, the huge body of the "Red Knight" slowly became less blood-red, and the red of the unicorn's eyes became lighter.
Unable to attack, they all slowly retreated, trying to get out of the green light.
"Can it be purified?" Scott asked.
"Can't do it!" Sawanna gritted her teeth and said, "I can only suppress their strength like this!" ”
"I'll try."
Scott waved his wand.
"Divine Guard!"
The silver light rises like a bright moon, outlining a sturdy peregrine falcon.
Scott's Patronus let out a roar, like a streamer, and flew towards the Red Knight.
As the silver streamer approached, the "Red Knight" quickened his retreat, as if eager to return to the stream immediately.
But the speed of the water was not as fast as the light, and the Patronus flew through the chest of the "Red Knight" like an arrow, leaving a huge hole.
The body of the "Red Knight" was obviously composed of water currents, but instead of filling the void due to the characteristics of flowing water, more blood-red smoke came out of the hole.
The smoke drifted onto the surrounding flowers and trees, and the originally vibrant flowers and trees withered instantly.
Not only that, but the group of unicorns that had been retreating moved again.
They bypassed the magical barrier that enveloped Scott and Sawana and rushed around the Red Knight.
Under the surprised gaze of Scott and Savanna, the unicorns were like addicts, desperately inhaling the deadly-looking blood-red smoke and making a "smack" sound from their noses and mouths.
As they stopped inhaling the smoke, their eyes grew redder and redder again.
The "Red Knight" roared angrily, trying to drive the unicorns away, but the unicorns ignored it, greedily sucking up the smoke from the hollow in its chest in a non-unicorn manner.
The body of the "Red Knight" is becoming clearer and clearer.
At this time, the Peregrine Patronus returned to Scott.
"Roar!"
The angry Red Knight raised his right hand.
Its right hand transforms into a spinning spear again, impaling the body of a unicorn.
The swirling spear tore the unicorn's body to shreds in an instant.
The blood of these unicorns may be different from that of unicorns, not silver, but red.
The flesh melted into the "Red Knight's" body, and it seemed to quickly melt into blood, making its body turn red again.
"Roar!"
The "Red Knight" roared excitedly.
It didn't even pay attention to Scott and Savana, and went on a killing spree at the unicorn herd.
The unicorns were powerless in front of it, and they were attracted by the blood-red smoke and refused to leave, and for a while, flesh and blood flew in front of them.
"Its wounds are slowly getting smaller!" Sawanna reminded.
Skod's head.
He could see that as the Red Knight slaughtered the unicorns and claimed their flesh for himself, the hollow in its chest was slowly shrinking.
"I found it." Scott said.
He raised his wand again.
"Gungnir."
The silvery Peregrine Patronus dispersed, turning into a cloud of silver smoke.
The silver smoke quickly gathered and turned into a spear.
The silver spear was transparent throughout, emitting a soft halo, like an artifact forged from moonlight.
As the spear took shape, the "Red Knight" suddenly stopped killing.
It screamed, gave up the unicorn without hesitation, and sped away towards the stream.
Scott smiled.
The spear moved.
The silver light flashed away, and the action of the "Red Knight" froze.
A fist-sized hole appeared again in the middle of its waist.
The cavity quickly expanded, spreading rapidly throughout its body, and soon, engulfing its body completely.
The huge "Red Knight" disappeared without a trace, and the stream that had just become abnormal was restored to its original appearance.
Only the few unicorns remained, still frantically inhaling the remaining blood-red smoke.
When the smoke was sucked up by them, they turned to look at Scott and Sawanna.
At this point, Sawana stopped casting.
"You can fix them, right?" She asked.
"I really don't want to kill unicorns if I could."
Scott's wand beckoned, and another flash of silver light flashed, and when the light stopped, the silver spear flew back in front of him.
"Their souls have been tainted." Sawanna said, "Let them go." ”
"Okay."
Scott looked at the unicorns with blood-colored eyes.
"Go."
The spear that stopped in front of him turned into a ray of light that swirled and refracted in the air, and then returned to him.
Rumble......
At the same time, all the unicorns fell to the ground.
Red blood flowed from beneath them, seeping into the ground.
"The land is polluted."
Sawanna frowned, looked at the barren land in front of her, and raised her long wooden staff again.
The land was once again covered with a vibrant green light.
As green dots of light fall like rain, the unicorn's corpse is slowly disappearing.
Then, the remaining red blood disappeared into the green light.
Soon, new sprouts sprouted out of the dirt.
When the entire land was re-planted with flowers, Sawanna stopped casting.
"Are you okay?" Scott asked.
He was a little worried that she was consuming too much.
"It's fine." Sawanna's breathing was still steady, "It's the druid's instinct to preserve nature. ”
"Let's go, let's take a look."
Scott removed the magic barrier and headed towards the stream.
"There must be something there."
He came to the shore and looked at the clear water in the stream.
Savana walked up to him and said, "I don't feel the danger now. ”
Scott crouched down and reached into the water to feel carefully.
"Found it."
He quickly found his goal.
Standing up, he waved his wand.
The rocks rolled in the stream, the mud and sand rolled open, the water splashed, and a long object flew up from the bottom of the stream and landed at Scott's feet.
"It's ......"
Sawana also crouched down and took a closer look.
"A knight's spear?"
"Hmmm......"
A broken knight's spear indeed.
Scott looked at the stained, algae-covered heavy weapon under his feet, and did not reach out to make contact with it.
"It makes me feel bad......"
He said with a frown.
Sawana nodded as well.
"The smell of blood is too strong." She said, covering her nose.
