On both sides of the lake, demons and humans confronted each other.

The Dark Knight Pedro Lyman is like a statue that stands still despite the wind around him.

He closed his eyes slightly, and only used his magic perception to detect everyone in Blackpool Town, and in just a few seconds, he had the result.

He found that there were traces of magic on two humans in the entire town of Blackpool, one of them was on the other side, it should be the witch, and the other was staying by the city gate.

Pedro's eyesight is very good, he can see things hundreds of meters away, and naturally he did not let the emir go.

He just couldn't understand how such an ordinary-looking teenager could have a huge amount of magic on his body?

It is clear that Emir is not a magician either, and Pedro can only guess that he carries powerful magic items.

Not only yesterday's war, but in the past few months, Pedro has been unaware of every attack launched by the demons on Blackpool Town.

In order to reclaim all his strength, so that the time would come to greet his master, the Demon King, in his full form, he had begun a long slumber a few months earlier.

Until then, he had already given orders to the army to raid human towns from time to time to buy him time.

Now that everything is ready, he decided to go out in person and let the humans see the true strength of the demons, and this time he must let them understand that the defeat of the demons five hundred years ago was just accidental.

At this point, Pedro knew the strength of the town, and he relaxed, and neither Margaret nor the emir had anything to fear.

On the other side, Margaret thought to herself that such a confrontation was not the way to go, so she shouted to the other side of the lake.

"Hey, who the hell are you? Is it the demon commander who came to beg for mercy, or the messenger who was sent to surrender to the humans? ”

“…… Hum. ”

Pedro snorted coldly, and became even more disdainful of these humans, feeling that not only did they have no strength, but their personalities were so inferior, and they only knew how to say something provocative.

Seeing that the other party was not provoked, Margaret came up with another idea, and she directly took out the necklace that sealed the tentacles of the monster.

"Well, no matter what you are, you should know what's in it, right?"

Pedro cast his gaze on it, and realized that it was just a magical trinket, and he didn't understand what the other person was trying to say, and he wasn't interested in exploring it.

So, he didn't stop and approached the city gate.

When Margaret saw him coming, she didn't look at the water under her feet, and thought to herself that this guy was a fool, and she didn't pay attention to talking to him, didn't she care about the monster tentacle at all?

However, the next scene left everyone dumbfounded.

I saw Pedro step his foot into the water, and gradually, his whole body was submerged, but it didn't look like he was going to swim over, did he want to take a bath?

Then, something strange happened, as Pedro's body was immersed in the water, a large number of bubbles continued to emerge from the water, and all of them turned into white mist as they approached the water's surface.

It must have been formed after the water had evaporated, and Lydia could hear the sound from so far away, similar to a red-hot piece of iron being suddenly soaked in water, so you can imagine how high Pedro's body surface temperature was.

"What the hell, this is outrageous." Margaret couldn't help but exclaim.

“…… What a monster. Lydia swallowed, and she started to get nervous.

Then, the water vapor became more and more frequent, and the sizzling sound became more and more frequent, until the entire lake was shrouded in a thick fog and the water level was constantly decreasing.

It looked like he was trying to evaporate all the water and go straight through the pit.

"What, what to do?" A knight's voice trembled.

"What to do, stabilize me, we have to defend the town today." Daniel yelled.

However, Lydia persuaded: "Brother, don't be like this, in the face of such an enemy, I am afraid we have no chance of winning, if it really can't be done, let's take the people to abandon the city and flee." ”

"This ......"

Daniel lowered his head, he was indeed considering the feasibility of this solution.

"I'm afraid this won't work," Margaret thought for a while, and said, "If you abandon the city and flee, it will be bad if the demons send troops again, and we can say that even in the face of hordes of monsters, we can maneuver around, but those people are not so lucky, they will probably be slaughtered." ”

"What then?" Daniel asked.

"It's okay, I just said, leave it all to me." Margaret said, her eyes becoming unusually determined.

Lydia understood that there was no hope of escape, and walked over to her.

"Then what's the matter, count me in, since you saved my life, I must also accompany me to the end."

Hearing them say this, Daniel was also mentally prepared, and he shouted to the six knights next to him, "Friends, I will not force you to join the war, if you want to leave, you can leave now, but I have to say, since we have become knights, there is a bottom line that cannot be compromised, if there is no thing to protect, we will lose the meaning of existence." ”

Seeing that the situation was so grim, these knights all had the idea of retreating, and when Daniel said that they were allowed to leave, they were indeed happy in their hearts, but the next few words made them realize their mission as knights.

That's right, why did they become knights, and why didn't they choose to be an ordinary person? In that case, when danger comes, they only need to flee with the crowd, and they don't have to risk their lives like now.

But they still became knights, and they still chose to fight for honor, because they felt that dedicating their lives to the empire was the most valuable.

Eventually, this noble heart overcame their fear of the Dark Knight, and they took a step forward to stand with Daniel and Lydia.

"Very good, when the war is over, let's have a drink together." Daniel smiled with relief and uttered the most heroic words of his life.

"Well, that's a deal."

……

Next, they all stared nervously at the other side of the lake, and after a while, they could clearly feel the Dark Knight approaching, as the fog in front of them grew thicker and thicker, and a wave of heat was rushing towards them.

Margaret knew that the other party's body emitted a huge amount of heat, and if Lydia and they came into contact with it, they would definitely be burned, so she used magic to put a protective shield on everyone, not only to keep out most of the heat, but also to treat them in time when they were injured.

This is a high-level magic, and the cost of mana will be very large, but this is the only way to do it now.

Margaret touched the pocket containing the gems, and couldn't help frowning slightly, it seemed that the magic reserves were running low.

After a while, a figure finally emerged from the thick fog, or rather, he had simply dispersed the fog before appearing.

At this time, everyone saw the appearance of the Dark Knight, and saw that he was huge, three times the size of a normal human, his actual height was obviously more than two meters, and the armor on his body was dark red, engraved with flame patterns, as if there was magma surging on him.

Immediately after, one of the knights took the lead in swinging his sword and slashing at the Dark Knight.

Pedro didn't have to dodge at all, allowing the sharp sword to slash at his armor, and he planned to burn the sword with its surface temperature.

However, the result was somewhat unexpected, if it was an ordinary iron sword, it could be turned into molten iron in a few seconds, but this sword did not melt, but was only burned soft.

The knight saw that the situation was not right, and quickly withdrew the sword, and after the cooling of the air, the long sword was quickly recovered.

However, Pedro dodged behind the knight and unleashed a casual sword.

The knight didn't have time to dodge when he was hit in the chest, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground without moving.

The others were startled and quickly distanced themselves from him, but Pedro was not interested in them and picked up the fallen knight's sword.

He watched the sword as if no one was around, flicked it with his fingers, put it to his ear to listen to the sound, and then pinched the blade again, because when he held the sword, the blade was burned and softened, and this pinch directly bent the blade.

“…… This sword is really good. Pedro sighed heartily.

His voice was quite magnetic, sounding like a man in his thirties.

When the other five knights saw the death of their comrades, they were furious and decided to rush up against him together.

However, Pedro still didn't pay attention, and he dodged the simultaneous attack of five swords in one dodge, and then grabbed the knight's sword with great speed.

He repeated the previous operation and found that the quality of the six swords was good, and he couldn't help but be curious about the craftsmen who forged these swords.

He could feel that these swords had just been forged, which meant that this forger was still in Blackpool Town.

At this time, Daniel and Lydia immediately rushed forward in order to save the knights, giving the five knights a chance to retreat.

Perhaps knowing that their strength is not ordinary, Pedro finally looked at them with a straight eye, but he was also careless.

The brother and sister used their sword skills at the same time, and the attacks of the two were one after the other, and even if Pedro dodged one, it would be difficult to dodge the second.

Not to mention, Margaret was not idle, under the cover of the brother and sister, she launched a more powerful magic missile, which was not at the same level as the ones used to test before.

Pedro smiled slightly, kicked his legs on the ground, and jumped into the air in an instant, and the sword skills of both of them were all missing, and only the magic missile that could track the target chased after him.

Margaret expected that it would be difficult for the other party to dodge the attack when they were in mid-air, and couldn't help but snicker, thinking that this can't cure you?

Pedro detected the magic power of these missiles in an instant, and it was indeed enough to attract attention, so he secretly released his magic.

With a "boom", the missile exploded in the air, and Margaret subconsciously felt that she had successfully defeated the Dark Knight, but she quickly reacted, and the traces of magic emitted by the other party were still very strong.

Strangely enough, however, not in the air, but in ...... Behind her.

"Oops."

A chill suddenly rose behind Margaret's back, even though the Dark Knight emitted a tremendous amount of heat.

Pedro repeated his old trick and struck Margaret with a knife.

Luckily, she was agile enough to immediately unleash her defensive magic, so this time it only broke the protective shield she had set up at the beginning, and she didn't take any substantial damage herself.

But she also noticed that several of the Dark Knight's attacks were understatements, but they dealt a serious blow to them, and their counterattacks were ineffective.

"It's really a dark knight, it seems that I underestimated you." Margaret smiled wryly.

At this point, she finally decided to use the killer move, this is the last chance, once she fails, there is really no way.

She quickly distanced herself from Pedro, then pulled out ten magical gems from her pocket, the only mana she had left.

Pedro clearly felt the power of the gems in her hands, so he stopped taking the enemy lightly and decided to kill her first.

Lydia also seemed to understand that she was preparing a powerful spell, so she rushed to Pedro to buy her time.

"Get out of the way!"

Displeased, Pedro stretched out his palm directly to her, and then, a small cloud of burning flame poured out of his hand, slowly flying towards Lydia.

The flame was dark red, the size of a fist, and it flew slowly, but Lydia instinctively sensed the danger.

She hurriedly stepped back, and at the same time unleashed a sword shot at Pedro, which landed accurately on the opponent's helmet, but to no avail.

In desperation, she had to dodge the attack first, but the small flame actually chased after her, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

"Damn."

Lydia couldn't dodge it, and eventually, the flame touched her body, spreading in an instant, enveloping her all over her body.

However, Lydia was not burned to ashes, only a protective shield that Margaret had given her.

But she still broke out in a cold sweat, and so did Daniel, who didn't have time to get to her side.

On the other side, Pedro came to Margaret in a flash again, his wide palm striking directly at the top of her head, accompanied by a huge amount of heat.

Margaret gritted her teeth and clenched the gem in her hand, ready to use her killer move.

However, a large shadow interrupted her movements, and she looked closely to see that it was actually a large ball of fire, apparently spit out by Lilith.

Pedro was about to kill Margaret, but he didn't expect this at all, and was directly hit by the fireball.

At this time, the jewel that Margaret hung around her waist for communication shone brightly, and she quickly picked it up, only to hear the voice of Emir coming from inside.

"Retreat to the city, and leave it to me."

Margaret turns back in disbelief to find the Emir beckoning to her, but doesn't understand why he wants them to go back, does he have a way to deal with the Dark Knight?

Although she was skeptical, the Emir would not joke at such times, so she immediately called Lydia and the others and decided to retreat.

At this time, Pedro's whole body was enveloped in fireballs, and although it didn't hurt him, he couldn't get rid of it for a while.

In the end, he had no choice but to release his magic to absorb all the flames around him, and the fireball finally disappeared, and the surface of his armor seemed to emit a faint light.

He looked at the city gate and saw that the humans had gathered around the young man.
