Chapter 55 - The dark tide is surging
The capital of the Kingdom of San Eubesilis, Kingssandra, is the largest city in the world.
The twenty-seventh king of St. Eubesilis, de Eubesilis, was sitting on a throne in the palace. He is a middle-aged man with red beard, who is majestic and imposing.
As the ruler of the world's largest power and its 50 dependent states, the superpower of St. Obesilis, de Obesilis has superhuman political skills, extraordinary economic acumen, and excellent sense of war, and is also the second person in the entire human world after the current Pope Faust VII.
"The minister returns today, Your Majesty!"
Kneeling on one knee before the throne of de Obersilis was a few days earlier, the knight of war who had rushed to the Papal City at his behest, Grant Colin.
"Collins," said de Obersilis, "the news of your battle with Knight Black in the Papal City has reached my ears a few days ago. β
"As rumors say," replied Grant, "his subordinates have fought with Knight Black at the Rotunda of the Papal City. β
"So," continued the king of Obesilis, "who wins and who loses?"
"It's hard to tell the difference. Grant told the truth.
"Really?" said De Obersilis, with a meaningful smile on his face, "this former Death Knight is capable of fighting my First Knight in a difficult battle. I would love to recruit him to serve under my wing. β
"Recruiting Knight Black is probably not going to be as His Majesty wishes. Grant replied.
"Hehe, too. "A master of this level is naturally unruly and difficult to control. This is certainly true of Nate Black. What's more, I already have a strong general like you under my command. β
"No, that's not what my subordinates meant. Grant replied, "Knight Black, I'm afraid he's in the service of someone else." β
......
On Christ's side, after seeing the battle of the century between Grant Colin and Knight Black, Kay is now desperately carrying out missions and honing his actual combat skills.
Just this morning, he subdued the largest theft gang in the capital in one fell swoop with a beautiful move of "Serial Stabbing and Wolf Dance", and successfully recovered the stolen valuables for various nobles.
At noon, he dropped the thunder with another move, and successfully took down the pet phantom wolf beast that was raised by the noble Asteria family for some reason.
At this time, he reappeared in the southern Black Forest, using force to find a safe habitat for the cubs of the phantom wolf beast.
"Alas......" Kai sighed, lowering the four cubs to the ground, "these nobles don't know what is going on in their minds to raise such ferocious beasts. The Phantom Wolf Beast is a three-star dangerous creature at the same level as the Great Spider Spotted Wolf. β
Kai is right, because these four cubs alone have bitten him all over his head, and it is very difficult.
"Speaking of which, I don't necessarily grow much when I always perform tasks of this level. Kai sat down leaning against an ancient tree and looked up at the sunlight shining through the branches.
The four wolf cubs had enough of making trouble now, and they all sat quietly around Kai. The silvery fur shimmers in the sunlight.
"You say......" said Kay, touching the wolfcub's back, "what should I do now?" I want to go to Ambriel and punch him twice. But until now, I have been carrying out inexplicable and meaningless tasks in this country. Or should I submit my application for a C-level review to the Knights' Guild early?"
The little wolf cub beside him moved his ears slightly, but there was no response.
"Grant said that the place Ambril went to was very dangerous, and even the S-class he might not be able to return alive. Kai continued to mutter, "Now I'm only D-grade, let alone me, there is definitely no return." I had to be strong enough to be able to recognize the knight of war, Grant Colin. But if I continue to perform these low-level tasks, my ability may not be able to improve. Teacher Omega also said that the so-called fighting skills are not taught through guΓ², but are learned in battle. I now lack combat experience, and I need to go through more dangers to understand enough combat skills and improve myself in all aspects. β
"Good!" Kai suddenly shouted, waking up the sleeping wolf cubs, "I'll go to Captain Max and beg him to give me some difficult tasks!"
......
"Requesting a more dangerous mission?"
In the Knight Guild of Christ, Max Manfred, the executive chairman and also the leader of the Guards of the Royal City, looked at Kai with a very surprised expression, he knew that Kai had been in a very dangerous situation in the previous Black Knight incident and the Knight Hunter incident, and now he actually took the initiative to ask for an even more dangerous mission?
"Yes, seeing the fight between Grant Colin and Nate Black, I felt too weak. Kay replied, "I want to grow faster." Allow me to perform more difficult tasks. β
"Really, you really have that determination?"
For Max Manfred, Kai is a junior he values very much. Although he is a little young and frivolous, the young man in front of him is indeed talented, and he is always energetic and brave to find a challenge. Max is also happy to train him to be the best knight in Christ, but is it too early to let him go on dangerous missions now?
"Yes, I kindly ask you to agree to my application. Kai replied with a firm look in his eyes.
"Well," Max smiled slightly, "since you're so determined, I'll give you a more difficult mission, if you promise to come back alive." β
......
So, the next day, Kay was already in the harbor area of East, a city east of Crist.
Kai sat down on the pier, looked at the calm sea in the distance, and exclaimed, "Wow, what a beautiful view." β
Yesterday, Max Manfred gave Kay a C-rank mission to deal with the sea beasts that appeared in the port of East.
The Royal Knights Guild of Crist recently received a response from the citizens of East, and an unknown sea beast appeared in the harbor, which had a considerable impact on fishing boats and shipping, and requested the association to deal with the matter.
Easthabour is an important maritime port in Crist, the country's maritime trade center. The Guild had intended to send a higher-ranking royal knight to deal with the matter, but since Kai Leo had volunteered, Max entrusted him with the task.
"The wind and the sun are beautiful here, the wind and waves are calm, and the wind and rain are smooth, where did the sea beasts come from? β
Kai sat on the dock for a while, but there was still no shadow of a sea beast, let alone a sea beast, and there was not even a small boat on the sea. Several seagoing vessels docked in the harbor and floated and sank as the water drifted away. The whole picture calmly exudes a languid atmosphere.
Kai was extremely bored, pulled a twig, and sat on the dock fishing: "Captain Musk won't just find a random reason to send me here, right?"
"Well, forget it, it's time to take a vacation. β
......
After sitting for a while, the sea was as calm as ever, without a trace of waves.
"Ah~~~" Kai let out a long yawn, "It's so boring, I knew this earlier, I might as well stay at home and practice my sword." β
At this time, the buoy on the water moved slightly, and Kai was pleasantly surprised: "A fish has been hooked!"
So he struggled to pull up the fishing rod.
"Boom ......"
A behemoth rushed out of the sea.
Kai, who was splashed with water, grew his mouth and was dumbfounded: "Ah, the sea beast ......"
It's a giant super squid, and the cruise ship in Eastport is like a toy to the sea beast.
"I'm rubbing, this scene is a little spectacular, isn't it?!"
Facing this giant sea beast, Kai pulled out the dagger on his shoulder: "Well, since I took the initiative to apply for the mission, how can I retreat from the battle?"
The sea beast was much larger than expected, but Kai was excited: "First of all...... Speed!"
Kai sprinted at high speed, and in an instant, he had appeared above the sea beast's head.
"I haven't had any experience fighting such a giant creature yet," Kai said in the Night of Kanna, "but I think that even if it is magnified dozens of times, the squid is a squid after all, and it is impossible for it to evolve into a sea dragon." β
Suddenly, the squid burst out of the water with tentacles and attacked Kai.
"It's too slow!"
Kai jumped and dodged between the tentacles of the squid, and was able to maneuver with ease.
"Is that all you have, bald cuttlefish?" Kai ran up with a tentacle, "Don't you have any other abilities other than your size?"
After dodging the attacks of the giant squid's four or five tentacles in quick succession, Kai was already standing above the giant head of the squid.
"Well, since there is no such ......" Kai knelt down on one knee, held Kanna Night with both hands, and stabbed down with a sword, "I know about you pathetic creature!"
Under the blade, blue blood gushed out.
"Oh, the squid's blood is blue, I didn't know it before. β
The blue liquid in front of Kai was focused on when he suddenly suffered a heavy blow in the back.
"Bang!"
One of the squid's tentacles slammed into him, knocking Kai out of the air.
"Kanna Nightγ»Long Thorn ......" Kai flipped in the air and quickly adjusted his posture, "Divine Arrow!"
The golden sword wave was accompanied by flashing thunder and lightning, and instantly pierced through the huge head of the squid!
"Hmph, you can see how good I am. Kai slowly descended in mid-air, wiped his nose and said confidently.
Unexpectedly, being pierced by the sword wave, the sea beast was still not dead, but I saw it dancing wildly and making a move, stirring the sea water together.
"Whirling Thorn, Last Quarter Moon!"
Kai turned around and slashed one of the tentacles behind him into two pieces: "I advise you to give up the struggle, Squid-kun." β
