Chapter 36: Second floor of the church
Because of the lack of openwork glass, the environment on the second floor of the church is obviously much darker, and the light is provided by the candlesticks on the walls.
Leo was no stranger to the fact that the candlesticks here were still burning.
Even the dragons have come out of this hellish place, and he won't be surprised if anything else appears.
In such light conditions, Leo squinted and looked at the figure walking in front of him.
It was wearing tattered black half-body armor that barely covered the left part of its chest, gray-black cloth pants on its lower body, protected by iron armor at its knees and waist, and a pair of black boots stained with dark red stains on its feet.
Its face looked as if it had been burned by flames, charred and distorted, and it was terrifying to look at. In his hand he held a metal sword, the tip of which pointed perpendicular to the ground.
Is it Lanlois Cadet Knight?
Leo was skeptical.
Because of the dim light, he couldn't see if there was a triangular mark on the gauntlet of the long sword in the opponent's hand, and he couldn't tell if it was the knight's sword of Lanlois.
But no matter what kind of monster it was, Leo didn't dare to be careless.
With his sword in both hands, he immediately put on a defensive posture.
Until he figured out the reality of the place, he didn't dare to attack rashly.
On the other side, the soldier monster suddenly accelerated and rushed after seeing Leo.
In the sound of the collision and friction of the armor pieces, it quickly rushed in front of Leo, and the long sword turned into a black shadow and slashed off its head.
Leo had a serious expression, and the long sword in his hand was raised, meeting the sharp blade slashed by the soldier monster.
The silver-white sword body reflected the orange-red candlelight, and the flash of light made Leo's eyes subconsciously narrow.
At this distance, he could finally see the appearance of the sword in the monster's hand.
The conspicuous "△" mark on the gauntlet confirmed that it was indeed a knight's sword of Ranlois.
"Boom!"
Swords collide with swords, making a sound of gold and iron.
Leo's complexion changed suddenly, and the force coming from the sword body shook his arm, and he almost couldn't hold the hilt of the sword.
This soldier monster is even stronger than the one you encountered in the underground laboratory!
You know, his [Soul Fire Brightness] has reached 1.87 now, which is a lot stronger than the 1.25 when he was in the underground laboratory.
With a sword slash out, the soldier monster did not stop, but launched a stormy and dense slash.
The sound of metal clinking bells and bells echoed into each other, and after a few seconds, Leo grabbed a gap and jerked backwards to widen the distance.
The soldier monster did not chase after it for the first time, but stood in place, and it seemed that the outbreak just now had consumed a lot of its physical strength, and it took a certain amount of time to recover.
Leo stared at the soldier monster not far away.
At this moment, his hands have been shaken to a little numb, not only that, but the stab-proof suit on his body also has several tears, in the short confrontation just now, he had no time to defend back a few times, and was slashed by the long sword, even if the stab-proof suit saved him from the cutting of the blade, but the power carried by the sword still injured him.
The enemy was strong, but Leo had no intention of retreating.
Compared with the inhuman silver-white knight on the first floor of the church, the soldier monster in front of him is at least within the category that human beings can deal with.
If all of this choose to retreat......
In this strange and unpredictable dream world, where else could he retreat?
At least, compared to the first time he encountered a soldier monster in the underground laboratory, he has now mastered the Storm Sword Technique, and his physical fitness is more than a little stronger.
After a brief pause, the soldier monster's scarlet eyes locked on Leo again, and it rushed forward, its sword slashing out like a shadow.
Compared to the soldier monsters in the underground lab, its sword attacks tend to be more inclined to slashing rather than swift stabbing.
Slash is more devastating than a stealthy stab, but it is a little slower and easier to determine where the attack will land.
The long sword slashed, and Leo predicted the landing point of the soldier's attack, and immediately raised his sword to block.
"Bell!"
Even though he had expected it, when the blades intersected, the tremendous force still shook Leo's hands and forced him to step back.
Seeing that the soldier monster had to repeat the continuous slash just now, Leo knew that he couldn't continue like this.
His hands could hardly resist another round of such an attack.
While his footsteps retreated, parrying the slash of the soldier monster, Leo retreated to the stairs, turned over and jumped, and jumped directly.
The height difference between the second and first floors of the church is about 5 meters, and even with Leo's current physical fitness, jumping from this height will inevitably feel numb in his feet, and then the pain caused by a slight tear in his leg muscles.
But at this moment, Leo has no time to take care of this.
As soon as he landed, he turned over and stood up, adjusted his posture of holding the sword, so that the tip of the sword lowered downward, and performed the sword technique, the starting style of a silver-white meteor.
When Leo jumped down the stairs, the soldier monster did not hesitate and jumped straight down.
"Bang!"
With a dull thud, the soldier monster landed in front of Leo.
Now is the time!
Leo narrowed his eyes, and a sharp cold glint flashed in his eyes.
In the next moment, he stepped on both feet, as if compressed to the extreme of the spring, bursting out with amazing speed.
At the same time, the long sword that he held in both hands turned into ten flashes of silver-white light.
Sword Skills - Silver White Meteor!
The exclusive sword technique that belongs to the advanced swordsmanship - Storm Swordsmanship, at this moment, shines brightly in Leo's hands.
The soldier monster that had just landed had not yet recovered from the anti-shock force, and Leo's long sword had already arrived in front of it.
"Torah—"
The sound of the flesh being torn through came out, and in less than a second, several penetrating wounds appeared on the soldier monster's body, one of which was impressively at its neck.
During the period of sparring with Jiang Xiaocha in the Yijian Club, Leo had a much deeper understanding of the Storm Sword Technique, and when he used the sword technique, the Silver White Meteor, he was already able to roughly control the landing point of the sword tip.
When using it this time, he deliberately avoided the armor-protected area on the Soldier monster to maximize the damage.
This swordsmanship obtained from the dream world was used in actual combat for the first time, and it brought a lot of results.
The multiple penetrating injuries on the upper body did not bring much damage to the soldier monster, but the lack of muscles caused by the penetrating wound on the neck caused its head to deviate uncontrollably, which also made it unable to launch a counterattack at the first time.
After using the sword technique, there was a faint tearing sensation in the muscles of Leo's whole body, and he knew that this was the price of using the sword technique with all his strength.
Ignoring anything else, Leo held his sword and sword and slashed desperately at the neck of the soldier monster.
"Click-"
The sound of broken vertebrae rang out, accompanied by flying skulls and splatters of black blood.
Soldier monster, pawn!
