Chapter 35: The Silver and White Knight
After pushing the door through a gap large enough for a human to enter, Leo stopped.
The door of the church was unusually heavy, and even though he was now far stronger than ordinary people, he felt the muscles of his hands ache after pushing open the gap.
As the doors open and light flows in, the "sleeping" building is brought back to life.
Leo did not enter immediately, but threw himself through the gap to observe inward first, both to give the muscles of his hands time to soothe and recover, and to explore the situation first.
The light inside the church is not dim, except for the light that shines through the gap in the door, the walls on the first floor of the church are mostly designed with openwork glass, so that the outside light can shine in.
Most of the glass had shattered and fallen to the ground due to the Wyvern's attack, but there were still some remnants that reflected the sparkling light in the light.
The main structure of the church is supported by four huge stone pillars erected in the main hall, and the surface of these pillars is carved with strange reliefs that look like angels with wings outstretched.
Around the hall, there is a staircase that leads around the dimly lit upper floors of the church.
Looking ahead, in the deepest part of the hall, a huge statue of the goddess stands nearly ten meters high.
The goddess folded her hands and lowered her head, as if she was merciful of all things in the world, and her face was blurred, because the skill of mortals could not carve her true face in case.
And what attracted Leo's attention the most was a half-kneeling figure in front of the huge statue of the goddess.
He held the sword in one hand and stabbed the tip of the sword into the ground as a support to stabilize his body, most of the original bright silver armor on his body had been shattered, revealing a strong body covered in scars.
Even with this gesture, the height of the silver-white knight is one and a half meters, and it is conceivable that his height after standing up is at least two meters three.
From the eyes of modern people, it is an out-and-out little giant.
Looking at the back of the silver-white knight, Leo breathed for a moment.
The wounded body is proof that the knight has been in a hundred battles, and the shattering of the silver-white armor is ironclad evidence of the inhuman attack.
How terrifying should such a knight who has fought in hundreds of battles of life and death be? Leo couldn't have imagined.
In modern society, if a swordsman can go through hundreds of life-and-death battles without dying, then he is a contemporary sword master!
Leo didn't know if the Silver White Knight was dead, but he didn't dare risk verifying it.
Because the instinct of his body was warning him that if the Silver White Knight was not dead, he would only be dead in the face of such a strong enemy.
From the back of the silver-white knight, Leo felt a sense of oppression far more terrifying than the bloated figure in front of the campfire in the windmill house.
Leo slowed down and stepped back cautiously, for fear of disturbing the terrifying silver-white knight.
But at this moment, I don't know if it was because the previous movement of opening the door was too loud, and the fingers of the silver-white knight's left hand, which was half-kneeling in front of the statue of the goddess, fell to the ground and moved slightly.
Leo, who was staring at the silver-white knight with his eyes, saw this scene clearly.
With the movement of his fingers, the vitality seemed to have crossed the long river of time and once again descended on the silver and white knight.
He stood up slowly, and in the process, the knight's sword that pierced the ground was lifted by him, and the edge of the cold, even if it was dozens of meters away, still made Leo feel cold all over his body.
This is no ordinary sword!
Leo was shocked, gritted his teeth, and prepared to run away.
But suddenly, a change occurred.
The statue of the goddess with her head bowed emitted a hazy glow, and the next moment, the four huge stone pillars supporting the church also emitted light, and in the light, the angelic reliefs on the surface of the stone pillars seemed to come to life.
Hundreds of pale white filaments of light shot out from the angel on the surface of the stone pillar, converging into a circular white semi-illusory complex circle above the silver-white knight who stood up.
In the next second, the magic circle fell violently.
"Boom!"
In the invisible wave of qi, the silver-white knight who got up seemed to be pressed down by an invisible mountain, and his whole body "clicked".
"Roar!"
A roar that did not resemble a human voice came from his mouth, shattering the remaining glass on the walls of the church hall and causing Leo to feel his ears buzz as he stood at the church gate.
But no matter how the silver-white knight struggled, under the effect of the illusory magic circle, his straight waist was slowly bent, and after a few seconds, his knees could no longer support him, and he half-knelt down again.
"Bang!"
After kneeling on one knee, in order to prevent his body from being completely crushed, the long sword in the hand of the silver knight had to pierce into the ground to support his body.
Strange to say, after the silver-white knight half-knelt in front of the statue of the goddess, the illusory magic circle above his head slowly disappeared, as if it had never existed.
Leo at the door of the church stared at the scene with wide eyes.
What was that just now?
Magic? Or is it magic?
The power that was completely beyond the mundane shocked him deeply.
And what shocked him even more was that even such a miraculous power could only bind the silver and white knights, and could not destroy them.
What a terrible existence this is! It's a monster in human form!
After the shock and exclamation, Leo's heart relaxed a lot.
At the very least, he knew that this terrible silver-white knight would not be able to rise up and attack him.
Leo looked at the staircase leading to the upper level of the church at the edge of the hall.
There's such a monster on the first floor, and it's hard for me to explore, but it's always okay on the second floor, right?
The strange sight just now made Leo know that this church is anything but ordinary, and there must be items that can be displayed on the character panel.
Just turned around and left, he was really unwilling.
As for the danger?
In this strange dream world, where is there no danger?
Instead of being afraid of danger, it is better to face it head-on within a slightly controllable range.
Leo was cautious, but not timid.
After making his decision, he no longer hesitated and walked into the church.
As he walked, he stared at the silver-white knight in front of the statue of the goddess, although the scene just now showed that it was impossible for the silver-white knight to get up, but what if?
I don't know if it's because of the influence of the magic circle just now, this time the silver-white knight didn't make any moves, just knelt quietly in front of the statue of the goddess, like a dead thing.
Seeing this, Leo relieved himself a little, and walked along the edge of the church hall to the staircase.
Walking up the stairs covered with soft carpet, he cautiously reached the second floor of the church.
Standing at the junction of the staircase and the second floor, the first thing that catches Leo's eye is a spacious hall.
In the hall, broken candlesticks, tables and other things are scattered around, and on the walls, there are picture frames hanging diagonally.
On the perimeter of the hall, there are several closed doors.
"Tread, tread ......"
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the depths of the hall.
In just a few seconds, a figure appeared in Leo's eyes.
