Chapter 8 If you don't have this strength, you will be killed by the boss behind you
The adventurers who knew that there were monsters in the ruins and dared to go deep into them, had more or less some effort under their hands, and after seeing that the strength of the two sides was almost the same, there was no problem in taking the initiative to rush to the island along the tibia of the giant dragon that played the role of a bridge, and it was not possible to evaluate right and wrong from the standpoint of hindsight.
They just didn't count one thing - there was an invincible black knight on the island.
"Everyone, we're here to help!" The new force Nilou rushed forward, and a battle axe split a stone imp in two.
A certain Holy Sect knight reminded: "...... Thank you for your kindness, but the goal now is to retreat, so let's let you escape first. β
"Hey, that's too unambitious, isn't it? Uncle Paris, my legend of bravery is just about to be written! Paris, with a gesture that he felt very dashing, slashed twice in a row to knock down a little imp of the earth.
"Staring at your dog's eyes!" One day, the sorcerer chanted a fire-based magic-Burst Flame Straf, and one of the fire bullets landed on the Black Knight, but it had almost no effect, just causing the pure black horse under the Black Knight to stop for a few seconds, "That guy is not the same level as other monsters!" β
"Demon-Breaking Reason!" A certain saint who loves ancient culture sends out divine magic, but the black knight, who looks like a ninety percent black creature of undead, is not affected in the slightest, and in turn chants a dark magic, a dark projection, injuring a circle of adventurers around him.
It's just that the black knight unexpectedly didn't harvest the injured adventurer, and with a wave of his spear, he ordered his subordinates who were actually dead and didn't have much left: "...... Get out of the way. β
"Yes! Lord Namlis! The monsters panicked and got out of the way.
"I felt a wonderful power...... I myself will be the opponent of this man. The black knight, hidden under his pitch-black coat, rode down the hill and struck at Ban.
"What!?" There are people all around him, and Ban, who has no room to dodge, can only meet it head-on.
(Click!) The tip of the black spear, blocked by the blades of overlapping daggers.
However, the impact of the horse's gallop combined with the strength of the black knight himself, and the dagger slammed irresistibly into Ban's chest, knocking him away with a single blow, and if it weren't for the fact that there were a few adventurers behind him, he might have fallen straight into the lake.
"Come, offer your soul to Your Majestyβhuh?" The black knight, who had just wanted to go to mend his sword, sensed something and assumed a defensive posture with the instincts of a warrior.
"It's not good to bully children, let's play with the old man - the Eight Poles Sword Formation." Rabang erupted with incredible speed.
From the front to the rear, from the left rear to the right front, from the right to the left, from the left front to the right rear, from the rear to the front, from the right front to the left rear, from the left to the right, from the right front to the left and right, back to the original position.
With a dense eight consecutive hits, the Black Knight's defensive stance only blocked the first blow and didn't do much at all.
But.
ββ¦β¦ Good swordsmanship...... It's a pity that the son of man can't defeat me......" is like showing respect for Rabang's transcendent swordsmanship, and the Black Knight has regret in his tone.
Rabang's face changed, and he realized the truth: "You...... Cursed?! β
"Cursed?" The black knight, who regarded this as a blessing, pulled the reins, sat down and let out a high-pitched neigh, "...... Perhaps this is indeed a curse for the sons of you and others......"
"There's really nothing to be done." Laban took off his hat with his prosthetic left arm and tossed it aside, his eyes revealing a will that he had never shown before.
γγγγγγγ
"Uh, old man, you're so violent, it seems that I don't have to make a move?" By the time Lyle arrived over the island in the lake, Rabang had already used his sword skills to destroy the remaining monsters, and was using his skills to fight the Black Knight to buy time for the other adventurers to escape.
Rabon parried the Black Knight's spear with his sword, surprised by the way Lyle appeared but did not affect his movements, and replied, "No, no, if you can help me contain him, I will be grateful, old man." β
"-Professor Lyle, that guy has the curse that he won't be defeated by humans!" One day the genius magician shouted.
Originally, he was not such a warm-hearted personality, but he thought that he also owed Laban a love after taking the initiative to break off, and he didn't want to see the development of Laban dying of exhaustion.
"Huh? I remember you were a student who was expelled from the academy last year, what's your name......" The ability to remember is only activated when you are concentrated, and those who are not interested can't even remember the name, "But, a defensive curse?" It happens to be one of the topics I'm working on, and I took this guy~"
Hearing this, Labon made several back-jumps in a row to open the distance, and did not talk nonsense, and immediately turned around and ran after confirming that the black knight's attention was on Lyle in the sky.
The Black Knight has no long-range physical attacks, so it is impossible to throw his spear into the sky, and can only chant dark magic.
"I'm sorry, this young master never sings when he casts spells." A large flame bomb was thrown, striking the Black Knight in the face impartially.
ββ¦β¦οΌβ There was no actual damage, but the blast of the explosion managed to interrupt the chant of dark magic.
"Anyway, I'm very idle, so I'll explain my research topic a little - whether it's a chilling curse or a blessing that a religion lover longs forward to, it's all about the power of magic."
Exploding Fireballs, Waterblade Tornadoes, Corrosive Spores, Vampire Vines, Deadly Poison Mist, Electromagnetic Storm, Holy Purification, Flame Ray, Ground Thorn, Demon Scythe, Lunar Flare, Frost Blast, Gravity Field...... Some are the magic that can be learned in the magic academy, some are the magic that was figured out in the previous life and were epiphanyed in this life, some are pure output, and some are looking for weaknesses, and all kinds of magic pour into the black knight as if they don't need to consume mana.
"It is easy to imagine that the rules set by the caster themselves are fundamentally different in intensity from the rules of the world. Then I couldn't help but wonder if it was possible to violently counteract the caster's magical energy with pure magical energy, in addition to the current standard practice, finding a way to remove the curse and finding loopholes in the curse itself. β
Thirty or forty more spells were thrown out before Lyle stopped.
The storm of magic subsides.
In the pit of magma, ice, electricity, smoke, venom, vines, crystals, and other elements at the same time, the Black Knight lies at the bottom...... No, perhaps he can't be called the 'Black Knight' anymore, the mount that was supposed to be immortalized with him is no longer alive in magic, his coat has been burned, and the black armor on his body has been shattered.
"Impossible...... I should not be defeated by the hands of humans......" However, the Black Knight can still stand up.
What was a blessing to him, a curse to humanity, was still protecting him.
"Who is that, I remember you were expelled from the academy because you accidentally killed your classmates while chasing power, right? Professor, I'll show you a necromancy that sounds weak, but is actually incredibly powerful, and is a physical damage. As for where you want to study, it's up to you to work hard, after all, you haven't paid the tuition fees. β
Lyle used his magic power to throw all the corpses on the island into the pit, whether it was a monster or an adventurer, no one was wasted.
The bloody hill of corpses pressed the Black Knight to the bottom.
