Chapter 4: The Light Cluster
Vicky and his giant rat mount, two pairs of scarlet, cherry-sized eyes, stared closely at the human cub in front of them, smelling that the human in front of them was undoubtedly a female.
Vicky is sure! It believes in its nose.
It tugged at the reins of the rat's exoskeleton and shuddered, listening to the cheers of its fellow nezumi below.
For a moment, it felt like a real elegant knight.
The only fly in the ointment is that the opponent is just a human cub, if only it were a kobold.
Vicky felt like he was making his rat debut, fighting a human cub.
Some insulted his reputation as the Second Knight of the Sewers, though it was self-proclaimed.
But Vicky cares, after all, even if it insults its reputation, it doesn't matter if it insults Tuka.
Therefore, what it wants to catch alive is not for itself, but also for Tuka's confession.
It was going to do its job perfectly, its head held high, trying to make eye contact with the shivering human female, stammering but with an unmistakable tone.
"You, come with me, or ......"
Veki raised the half-meter-long bone gun in his hand, and the end was self-evident.
But what it didn't expect was that the human female in front of it actually shrank back in fear and hid in the deeper darkness of the sewer.
It seems that force must still be used, otherwise this stupid human being will be like a quail, cowering in a corner and not coming out.
Vicky thought as well, pulling the reins and motioning for his companion giant rat to charge.
[Charge] is the only active skill that the Rat Knight can do, and it requires a fairly high mental fit between the Knight and the mount, and the entry of [Charge] means that it is already a first-order Rat Knight.
[Charge] Mastery is also one of the necessary conditions for advanced Giant Rat Grand Knight.
Regarding the difference between entry and mastery, as if it is described as a metaphor, the entry is that the driver has just got a driver's license, and it is good to be able to get on the road with trepidation.
The proficient is a ten-year veteran driver, the kind of drain bend.
As for mastering the master realm above, I heard that every skill mastered by the master, the skill effect will have a qualitative change.
For example, at the [Charge] master level, some knights are indeed gifted, and when they are the great knights, that is, the second order, they have mastered the [Charge] master level.
However, each master-level [Charge] will have a variety of [Charge] effects, and not all of them will be the same.
Most of the most common [Charge] Master Levels are multi-stage attacks, which move in a super-high-speed Z-shape, perform multi-stage attacks, and even play back with carbines.
There are also some [Charge] master-level comprehensions, [Charge] will bring out two to even three phantoms, but generally this kind of knight itself has magical qualifications.
A very small number of [Charge] is to increase the speed, which is several times faster than the [Charge] of the mastery level, and the distance of 100 meters is in the blink of an eye.
If the knight was still holding a magic weapon in his hand, at the same level, even the strongest defense of the hill giant, I am afraid that under this charge, I am afraid that he would be able to poke a big hole.
The world's martial arts, only fast is not broken. This principle can be applied anywhere, of course, provided that there is a magic spear that is hard enough.
But knights are not completely without weaknesses, first of all, the master-level [Charge], whether it is a warrior or a knight, it is not a simple thing to master.
Being able to master the second order does not mean that the second order exists, and it may be rare for the entire Ai O Continent to reach the master level in a certain skill in the second order.
Also, the mage's greasy spells, spider web spells, and some terrain-altering spells such as fossil to mud can make the knight's charge unnecessary.
In addition to this, there is also the concealment of the thief, who escapes from the battle and disappears from the knight's field of vision, making it impossible for him to catch his target, and other classes have similar methods to dodge.
Even the dumbest can dodge the charge by climbing up to the treetops, after all, the average knight mount doesn't go up a tree.
Except, of course, the Dragon Knight.
However, this kind of knight who comprehends master-level skills, as long as he does not die halfway, his future must be limitless.
Even the seventh-order [Transcendent], eighth-order [Hero], and ninth-order [Legend] are not extravagant expectations.
As for the tenth-order [Demigods], it was up for debate, and igniting the divine fire was not a simple matter.
However, Vicky's current charge is only a beginner, and even the brewing of the [Charge] momentum cannot be moved at will, and he also needs to cooperate with the giant rat under him.
But that was enough, for a weak human cub, a first-order giant rat knight would be more than enough to deal with her.
This is also the reason why the other giant rat knights below did not go up, after making sure that there was only one weak human cub, and a few more would be insulting to their chivalry.
"The most ...... One last time, climb out and surrender, or ......"
Vicky gave an ultimatum.
Its small short legs straddle the body of a giant rat and step on the depression of a giant rat's exoskeleton, which acts as a saddle.
Vicky was ready to charge, and if the humans in front of him didn't know each other, it wouldn't mind letting its bone spur spear open the meat.
Although the bone spur spear is only half a meter, with the blessing of [Charge], if it directly hits the human flesh and blood, it is still no problem to make a one-foot-sized blood hole.
You can't underestimate the rat man because of its short stature, you know, the small size is also an advantage, especially in the sewers, the small size, some directional magic, the arrow is difficult to hit it at all.
"I ...... I can't walk anymore~ Can you help me?"
Vicky was about to make a move when he suddenly heard a voice, some stammering lingua franca, and a hint of cowardice.
The voice of the human female, Vicky immediately raised his head.
I saw that the human cub was looking at her blankly, but the voice did come from her.
Although Vicky's lingua franca is not very proficient, he has no problem dictating, but he stutters a little.
Otherwise, they would not be able to read the novel "Knight Levi", written in the lingua franca of mankind.
So, it was convinced that it had heard correctly, that the human cub had begged for mercy!
Vicky was very proud, so he slowed down the pace of the charge, and slowly paced forward, with the giant rat under him approaching step by step.
The human cub seemed to have already recognized his fate and no longer retreated.
It's just that his expression is getting more and more panicked, and he is so scared that he lowers his head and doesn't dare to look at it.
Knock! Knock!
Vicky was getting closer and closer to her, and the spear was even less than half a meter away from the girl, almost poking into the bloodless pale skin.
"Why is it a little malnourished, it seems that it will take a good period of time to bring it back to the tribe before it can be eaten, otherwise there will not be much meat." ”
Vicky began to look up and down, looking at the human's face and feet, disgusted by her figure.
It would be nice to be fatter.
But how can there be a tail? Behind Nina, a tail covered with black scales flashed.
Vicky was a little confused, couldn't it be that he was dazzled?
Just when Vicky wondered if he was wrong.
A black shadow suddenly burst out from behind the human in front of him, and with lightning speed, he jumped directly.
Hold down the unprepared Vicky and the giant rat beneath him, paws at a time, on the cracked gray cement slab.
The two rats, suppressed with unparalleled power under their claws, could not move.
Just as Vicky was about to scream, he noticed a pain in his back, and his eyes were dark, and he lost consciousness.
The other giant rat was a step faster than Vicky, and with a kick of his legs, he ascended to heaven.
Then, in Gordon's field of vision, two clusters of light appeared on the corpses of the two mice.
The size of a ping-pong ball, it emits a soft light, and it is quite conspicuous in the dark vision of black and white.
However, the dragonborn girl seemed to ignore the light group, and instead began to lick the corners of her mouth at the two corpses.
She's a little hungry.
