Volume 3 The Shadow of Uxir Chapter 211 Heading into the Lake
In the middle of the battlefield near the city gate, Hercules continued to release thunderclouds, and for a time there was a scorched black scene everywhere, and black smoke filled the entire royal capital.
Lucius never found a chance to shift his position, he stayed behind the greatsword, and in order to prevent it from falling, he had to use his own sword to hold on.
But the impact of the explosion was so great that his arm holding the sword was almost numb, and if he continued like this, he would definitely not be able to support it.
"How's that okay?"
Lucius was annoyed, he regretted that he hadn't thought the situation through, and then rushed to the Iron Giant.
After a while, he suddenly noticed that the thunderclouds thrown by the giant had smashed countless large craters into the ground, and some positions had been bombed twice, and the ground was blown through.
Lucius remembered that this should be the refuge of the royal capital, and if he couldn't find a way to stop Hercules, then the lives of the people of the refuge would also be in danger.
“…… Damn, what the hell am I supposed to do? ”
Lucius showed a desperate look, his strength was indeed the strongest among the human race, but if he wanted to compete with the weapon in front of him that was enough to destroy the world, even if he was given ten lives, it was not enough.
Just when there was nothing else to do, the invisible force in the giant's left hand attacked, and the power of this shot was obviously greater, and it seemed that the giant had lost his patience.
And because of this attack, he was shocked to the ground, and it was too late to turn back to support the giant sword, and at the critical moment, he found that a small cloth bag had fallen in front of him.
This was given to him by the emir before leaving, saying that he could use it when his life was in danger.
Lucius only regarded it as a psychological comfort, and did not take it to heart at first, and at this time, in despair, he seemed to have to fight hard, and I thought that the emir should not joke with him.
So, as the next thundercloud approached, Lucius opened the cloth bag, only to see a small piece of paper with a magic circle drawn on it.
"Hehe, is this a relaxing magic?" Lucius couldn't help but smile wryly.
However, in the next moment, the small piece of paper suddenly burst into a faint blue light, and then a familiar figure appeared in front of him.
"Emir, you, how did you come here?"
"It's teleportation magic, haven't you heard of it?"
"I ......"
Before Lucius could finish speaking, the emir noticed a huge trace of magic, and he turned around, shocked.
“…… Wow, what the hell! ”
At that moment, the sphere formed by the thundercloud was only two meters away from him, and if he hadn't subconsciously released the teleportation magic, it was estimated that he would have disappeared from this world by now.
"Oops, it scared the hell out of me."
When he was in a safe place, Emir sat down on the ground, gasping for air, his heart pounding.
At this point, they came to the outside walls of the royal capital, which was one of the exits for teleporting magic.
The emir was worried that one day he would clash with the people of the royal capital, so he left himself a way back, but he didn't expect it to be useful now.
"Thank you, Emir, for saving me."
Lucius also had palpitations, leaning against the wall weakly, but he still hurriedly thanked him, he had indeed underestimated this young man before.
But in the face of his thanks, Emile suddenly became angry.
"Didn't I tell you to open the bag as soon as your life was in danger? As a result, you opened it at that time, which was intended to kill me. ”
"Well, but my life was in danger at that time." Lucius also felt aggrieved.
The emir thought about it carefully, and it was indeed the truth, so he had to give up.
"Okay then...... By the way, have you figured out how to deal with that giant? ”
"Hehe," Lucius smiled wryly, "if I had thought of it, would I have been beaten to the point of being helpless?" ”
"Oh, too."
The emir nodded, and then looked at the giants in the city, who had lost their goal and were wreaking havoc on the buildings of the royal capital.
"That guy has been raging for so long, why hasn't anyone come to help." The emir couldn't help but wonder.
"Hehe, don't you understand? They knew that Agnes was here, so how could they save her, but they were trying to take this opportunity to get rid of her. ”
"Is that so?" The emir scratched his head, then looked at Lucius, "It turns out that Your Highness Agnes is the only one by her side, and I thought that there were many nobles who supported her." ”
"Hmph, of course there are many people who support it, but besides me, who is willing to sacrifice their lives for His Highness?"
“…… Well, I would have joined Marika's side if I had known that, or stay on Byron's side. The emir said leisurely.
Although it was obviously a joke, Lucius couldn't help but get nervous, because it was what he feared the most.
"Emir, I am grateful that you saved my life just now, but if you join the camp of other candidates for the throne, then we are enemies, I can let you go once, but the next time I won't have a chance."
"Oh, I'm kidding, don't take it seriously." The emir hurriedly explained.
Luthewston was stunned, then ashamed.
“…… Oh, sorry, I didn't hear that, I forgot what I just said. ”
"Hehe, it doesn't matter, in fact, I admire that kind of person who is affectionate and righteous the most," said Emir seriously, "even if Your Highness Agnes is the only one by your side, I will willingly join your camp." ”
“…… Emir, you have impressed me too. Lucius suddenly looked at Emir with an affectionate expression.
For some reason, he got goosebumps all over his body, so he quickly changed the subject.
"Then again, we can't just let that giant go, we have to find a way to defeat it."
"Hehe, that's easier said than done."
Lucius looked at the behemoth raging in the distance, and he couldn't help but feel fear.
This surprised the emir, he remembered that when he first saw this knight before, the other party still looked complacent, as if nothing in this world could stump him, but now, Lucius's eyes were dim, as if he was completely crushed by Hercules's aura.
“…… You should understand, what's under the feet of that giant, right? The emir glared at him.
Lucius was stunned, he suddenly remembered that it was the refuge of the royal capital below, and he was aware of it just now, but after brushing shoulders with death, he left it all behind.
"Alas, I'm so useless." He sighed heavily.
"Don't care if it's useful or not, now it's only us who can save those people, and if you hadn't shown dedication from the beginning, I wouldn't have come to save you, you must not make me regret it."
Hearing this, Lucius stared at him blankly, and his eyes became even more wrong, and Emir couldn't help but take a half step back, and he only thought it was admiration.
Lucius then told the Emir about the giant's attack pattern.
In fact, he may really have the ability to deal with Hercules, but unfortunately, under that kind of onslaught, he can't get close to the other party at all, and maybe his body will be wiped out before the sword skill hits.
"In other words, we have to remove its arm first." The emir was thoughtful.
"That's going to be a lot of difficulty," Lucius continued, looking extremely calm, "I still think it's better to start with its legs, as cutting off its legs will collapse its entire body, so that it may not be able to swing its arms freely." ”
“…… Well, that's the truth. The emir nodded in agreement.
Then, he began to develop a strategy based on this, and this process lasted about ten minutes, although the enemy was just stupid and big, but because of this, the opponent had no rules to follow, and it was even more difficult for humans to defeat.
The emir was well aware that Hercules' cockpit was overhead, and that they would have a chance as long as they attacked there specifically, but only if they paralyzed the opponent's legs first.
He thought of a nearby lake, and since Hercules was now in a state of indiscriminate attack, it would be hit if there was a decoy to lure it through.
"Let me be the bait." Lucius immediately volunteered.
“…… It's not that I look down on you, you just asked me to save you, how can you avoid the other party's attack when the time comes? ”
"But it's not appropriate for you to do such a dangerous thing." Lucius scratched his head.
"Teleportation magic allows me to change positions at any time, and that guy can't hit me at all, didn't you already see it just now?"
Lucius thought about it carefully, and it was true, he was so frightened that he didn't know what Emir had done, and he remembered it only now when he was reminded.
After that, the two of them assigned the task and immediately took action.
First, the emir quietly approached Hercules, and then unleashed a water-based magic missile on it, which hit it in the leg without any damage, but fortunately it still caught its attention.
Herculeston went berserk and threw a thundercloud at the Emir's location, which was so fast that only his and Anne's teleportation magic could dodge it in a very short time.
The Emir threw out the small piece of paper before that, so he teleported directly in front of Hercules.
Next, he continued to lure Hercules towards the lake, and after about twenty minutes, he finally reached his destination, and then plunged headlong into the water.
In the next instant, thunderclouds followed, and what Emir didn't expect was that this attack was a thunder attribute, which could produce more power in the water.
"Woo!"
Emir was so numb with electricity that he might have drowned had it not been for Lucius rushing in time to lift him out of the water.
"Oops, I'm finally saved, it looks like we're both clear." The emir smiled weakly.
"When are you still in charge of those things," Lucius complained slightly, and then smiled slightly, "After this battle, we can be regarded as brothers who live and die together, and brothers don't have to be polite to each other." ”
"Uh, did you think of me as a brother? I thought ......"
"Oh? Why? ”
Lucius's footsteps stopped, and behind him, the giant began to unleash thunderclouds again.
"No, it's nothing, don't be stunned, run quickly." The emir hurriedly reminded.
Lucius quickened his pace again, and soon fled to the other side of the lake, and Hercules, sensing that it was too far away, began to move.
It really didn't pay attention to the lake in front of it, but stepped directly on its thick legs, and the water surface instantly overflowed to its waist.
But it didn't care at all, and continued to approach the two men, and after getting close enough distance, it released the thundercloud again.
This time, the emir used a magical barrier, and summoned ten at the same time.
As he had expected, the thunderclouds touched the barrier and broke through it in an instant, only to dissipate in front of the last two lanes.
Hercules found that the attack was ineffective, and thought that it was not enough distance and continued on his way, with the middle of the lake in front of it.
