871.Step to Ride (3000)

The anomalies observed by Archbishop Louis are not mentioned for the time being, but Lane has to admit that these church knights are indeed very competent.

It is worthy of being a knight who can be awarded the personal coat of arms of King Othloes.

The gloomy bishops in the covered area where the giant fell to the sky were like eggs under a stone in the face of this scene.

If you run fast, you will naturally be able to escape from the crushing range.

But if you run slowly, you can only make the muffled sound of bones being crushed in the flesh and blood in the giant's fallen body, and the 'poof' sound of the broken bones piercing the flesh and spurting blood after being crushed to the extreme.

In this world, giants are slaves. They seem to have formed a thick layer of dead skin of cyan due to years of fatigue and dirt.

And after being knocked to the ground by Lanen, the giant's entire back was dyed a deep blood red that was almost black.

But what about the church knights who were still on top of the giants?

"Poof."

The huge body of heavy and sturdy flesh was unconsciously lifted up by the church knights underneath the body.

The knight, like an iron tower, silently lifted the giant's limbs that pressed against him, and walked out from below.

There are generally two types of equipment for these church knights.

One is the shield hammer knight, who holds a heavy tower shield larger than the front area of an ordinary person, with a hammer head and a hundred pages that are the size of a human head and can be one meter and a half in length.

If this hammer is in the hands of ordinary people, it is estimated that it will exhaust all the strength of the whole body just to lift it.

But in the hands of the knights of the church, it was a one-handed hammer.

And the other is the Knight of the Great Sword.

These Church Knights may have followed the same philosophy as Len's in the beginning: to crush targets with explosive heavy weapons.

They carried a large sword on their shoulders and were not otherwise armed.

The sword was fifty centimeters wide, and its overall length was almost the same height as the chin of a church knight.

Based on their size similar to Lanen, they should be more than two meters long.

And now, these silent, tall knights are coming out from under the corpses of giants.

Then he climbed up again, closing in on the witcher above the giant's head!

Turbidity Extinguishing was pulled out of the giant's skull.

The gluttony on this sword belongs to the extinction dragon, and he is still obsessed with the flesh and blood nutrition on the corpse, and the black mist-like dragon attribute energy is the same as the huge wound on the corpse's head.

It's like a tiger licking off the minced flesh from a bone with its tongue.

The sound of the wide chainmail lining rubbing against the plate armor cover became rapid, and the leading Greatsword Chapel Knight, the armor parts of his body were rattling with each other from the hurried footsteps before engaging the enemy.

The knights of this world are accustomed to fighting in silence.

Even if they have been corrupted and distorted by the dark faith, the knights of the church will still enter the death arena without saying a word.

The Great Sword Chapel Knight was the first to approach, and the Great Sword slashed down from his right shoulder to his left waist.

This is a diagonal slash from the target's low position, and the action is very standard, even standard to rigid.

When facing opponents of his own size, the first blow opened with this countermeasure, which made Lan En wonder if these knights had not fought many opponents of the same size.

The Witcher took a slight step back, then raised his right foot in front of him, and a low-lying slash slashed through his foot.

Judging from Lan En's current swordsmanship attainments, he will hardly produce any inefficient movements in sword fighting.

Dodging will basically become a prelude to an attack.

At the same time as the front leg was raised, the [Turbidity Flow: Extinguishing] in his hand was also lifted to the top of his head.

Stomping to enhance the power of the slash is a technical feature of [Reed Celebrity: One Slash].

I work with it now!

"Bang!"

First of all, there is the sound of amazing stampede!

The solid stone ground has been stomped out of a cobweb-like depression by Lan's stomping!

Then the blade followed!

"Bang~"

The unique structure inside the Greatsword makes the collision sound of [Turbidity Current: Extinguish] always have a unique recognition.

But this time, the sound of the collision was abnormally not even as loud as the stomping just now.

Lan's eyes widened slightly in surprise as he looked at the church knight in front of him.

This knight. It's kind of interesting.

Lanne's sword is larger and more powerful than the Church Knight's size.

The Knights of the Church's greatsword was up to their chins, but if Ran's greatsword wanted to stand up with his hand on the hilt, Len's hand would have to be raised to his head.

Just now, when Lan En was about to chop the [Turbidity Current: Annihilation] down, he found that this church knight had already followed the inertia of the sword that had been slashed by himself just now.

Adjusted his position to the side.

Shoulders facing Lane.

He immediately used a shoulder strike, trying to close the distance to the Demon Hunter and distort his stance.

From swinging a sword to slamming into the shoulder, it was difficult to connect movements so quickly and smoothly.

This knight didn't come up with a temporary move, it was a tactic he planned from beginning to end!

A slash is a feint, and a shoulder strike is a disrupted posture and a closer distance. If the shoulder hit is successful, the next step is to slash again!

It's just that he obviously didn't expect that Lan En's giant sword swordsmanship could be so smooth, and the dodge and attack were completely connected.

Unlike the smoothness caused by his tactical planning, this is completely a high level of technical skills!

So this shoulder collision, which was originally used to disrupt the enemy's rhythm, is now being used to attack instead of defending.

Close the distance by slamming it over the shoulder, get out of the way of the terrifying, most lethal front sword body of [Turbidity Current: Extinguishment], and head towards the hilt of the sword that has greatly decreased in power.

And at the end, when the bone-white blade of the greatsword slashed into the shoulder armor of the church knight, the guy also made a stance similar to an arrow step.

This pose seemed to carry some kind of supernatural power, which weakened the effect of Lan's slash again.

That's why the sound of the blades colliding was so slight this time.

And after Lan's move was forced out of the way, it was the turn of the Church Knight.

[Arrow Step] is indeed a sword posture, which can trigger power through movements, and greatly improve the stability of one's body posture in a short period of time.

When the stance is stable, the damage that the enemy can inflict will naturally be smaller.

Next, there is the Church Knights' articulation move after the [Arrow Step].

After the church knight slammed forward with an [arrow step], the cat's pupils in Lan En's eyes shrank slightly.

Because after seeing the enemy's posture, the movements on his body could actually bring up a remnant.

It's not a visual deviation caused by too much speed, but a real, illusory image residue.

The image remained, leaving a white trail in mid-air that was only half a beat slower.

There is no doubt that this is the supernatural power.

Lan En didn't know if the afterimage was itself the effect of this supernatural power that he currently unknown, or if it was the activation characteristic of this supernatural power.

But he didn't want to bet. In fact, there is no need to gamble.

The magic ring in his hand came with a sense.

His buddy has arrived!

"Wow!"

A war horse neighed, accompanied by the strong electric field of the New World Ancient Dragon [Phantom Beast], and appeared in the hall of the secluded church!

The blue and white noble horses can walk on the ground in the primitive and strange New World, and the regular buildings such as the secluded church are really 'flat' for it.

"Sting!"

An explosion accompanied by the roar of electricity even briefly caused the tinnitus of all normal people in the hall.

The pure white rune silk cloth fluttered in the air, and the unicorn with a flash of electric light crashed straight into the way of a group of secluded bishops and came behind Lan En!

The witcher didn't look at it, he was familiar enough with his friends that he could even communicate with his heart.

Lan En's arm just grabbed back, and naturally grabbed the kirin's pale mane.

The body of the New World Ancient Dragon immediately activated.

Its speed is much faster than the sword swing of the church knight in front of him!

Almost in the blink of an eye, Lan En, who was dragging the unicorn mane, was completely out of the range of the church knight's attack.

It doesn't matter what effect you have supernatural power, if you can't hit it, you can't beat it.

The advantage of cavalry over infantry is here, and it is only when it can be overcome that it is qualified to speak.

That church knight's articulation moves are really powerful.

After he lowered his position through the [Arrow Step], the big sword was twisted by his wrist and waist, and it circled twice horizontally!

The illusory white afterimage was like a windmill.

The sound of the wind whistling by the big sword, Lan En felt that if he was still within the attack range, although he still had many means to avoid injury, there was a high probability that he would be directly cut out!

But now, after riding the unicorn, he has too many options.

The Kirin's hooves tapped through the hall, and Lan En was still half-standing on the ground as he tugged at his mane to pull away.

And in the blink of an eye, Lan En had already turned over and got on his horse.

And after the church knight finished slashing two circles of the great sword, the unicorn instantly turned and rushed over through its tough and powerful ancient dragon body!

This set of extreme speed steering, even if it is a monster whose joints are not tough enough in the New World, it will take several days to recuperate after the last trip.

But for ancient dragons, especially the unicorn, which is very good at running, this is just a daily walk.

Before the church knight could react, Lan En sat on the unicorn's back, his sword swinging back on his shoulderplate.

"It's a shame"

Lan smacked his mouth.

"If it were normal times, I would definitely compare it with you."

The Knight of the Great Sword Chapel had just lifted his barrel-like helmet with the slight clash of armor, and then followed

"Boom !!"

The recognizable sound of the collision echoed throughout the church hall, almost giving the illusion that the church bell on the roof had been smashed.

And just now he also showed himself well as the knight of the Great Sword Church. Diagonally from his shoulders to his ribcage.

A hideous, wide, transparent gap has appeared on his tall and strong body!

The giant sword with the momentum of the unicorn almost cut off half of his body!

Blood spurted upwards from the opening, like a fountain.
