The Labyrinth Kingdom

Chapters 12. Sword Valkyrie 2

On the instructions of the leader, the warrior and the knight ran towards the dark blue knight from his right and left side.

Bodil used the [Frenzy] skill and Ingrid used the [Fierce Attack] and pulled the knight away from the amara. Using the slit, Britt ran over to Amara and poured the liquid from the small bottle he took from his pouch over the open wound.

It was a "Moderate healing potion", normal wounds would heal immediately after being exposed to the potion.

However, the wounds suffered by Amara currently have no signs of healing.

'No, it looks like the bleeding is easing up a little bit'

"—support, strength sword attack"

"—defense, Protecting Shield"

Elo and Elena's support magic is given to the attackers.

“Elena, take care of Amara. ”

"The dinner !?"

“Not working well! Anyhow …. ”

He almost said, "heal him," but his voice was drowned out by the screams of his friends.

"Waaaah !!"

“Ingrid !! Fuck !!!! ”

The blue knight's attack easily pierced through the full body armor of ingrid, cutting off his sides, seeing this extremely furious bodil and showering the knight with attacks as he roared furiously. Her [Frenzy] skill was still active which made her unable to feel pain and increased her attack power to the limit, in addition, he also activated the [Fierce Attack] skill that Ingrid had previously used to increase his attack speed.

It was a deadly attack from the soldier who boasted of himself as the spearhead of the party.

Although the bodil had exerted all of its strength, the knight did not look anxious and calmly accepted his attack.

"Uoooooooh !!"

"the body! Relax!!"

He made a huge swing, as if wanting to finish the fight in one go.

The knight shifted his body and easily dodged.

… or so it seems.

"because of you!!"

The big swing he made was just a trick and the real attack he unleashed was the next attack to come.

The [Frenzy] skill had beneficial effects such as increasing one's strength to the limit, but on the other hand it also had a negative effect that the ability of the appraisal of its users would decrease, as well, this is very unfavorable in a long-term fight.

However, bodil is an exception, he comes from a tribe made up entirely of women who call themselves the Amazones. The mazones tribe had an innate skill known as the [Frenzy Penalty Annulment].

In other words, even if he were to use superhuman strength from the effects of the [Frenzy] skill, he could still calmly think of the next attack he was going to make.

"die....!!!"

Shocked at the continued attack that Bodil had launched, the knight could only fall silent and let a violent attack land on his body.

* kreeeckkk.. *

The sound of metal being crushed sounded.

However, it was not the sound of the knight's blue armor breaking, but the sound of a shattered bodil sword.

While he was still shocked, a sword attack came raining down on a body full of muscles.

His powerful body was now covered in wounds, probably due to the loss of too much blood his vision began to blur. Bodil muttered "fucking shit" before he fainted.

“Elo! Elena! Run, I'll buy you guys some time! ”

Seeing that both of his friends had fallen. Britt would rather do his duty as a leader and fight than run away leaving his friends, he took out his magic longsword.

"—Support, Speed Increase"

"—Protection, Angelic Hello"

"!!"

The white light wrapped around Britt and gave additional strength to his body.

"I, it's not good ~. After all, With the speed and stamina I have I'm not sure I can escape from it. ”

“There is no other way to stay alive than to make you win the battle. ”

“....... stupid! "

Without taking his eyes off the knight, britt shed her tears.

They were tears of fear of death that would come her way, tears of regret for having come to this place and not being able to protect her friends, she said, as well as tears of gratitude to his friends for encouraging him even in this difficult situation.

* chirrr, chirr * chain sound audible.

As if as a battle signal, the knights approached at an incredible speed.

When he reached the ideal strike distance, he immediately swung his sword towards Britt.

It was a heavy and deadly blow.

"—Support, Strength Increase"

"—Protection, Divine Orb"

Receiving a violent attack from the knight, Britt, who was wrapped in Elena's magic, a magical ball of light from the priestess, broke the knight's posture for a moment.

"Now.... !"

He used up all his energy and launched an attack on that knight.

He aimed for the gap between his armor and his helmet.

It was an attack Britt launched with all his might, using the additional effect of his [Weapon Mastery] skill that made his sword an extension of his body.

"Eh?"

Although he felt his sword successfully attack the knight, but there was no blood dripping from his armor, the knight did not even collapse despite having been hit by a deadly strike, and instead he made a violent counterattack to his chest.

* oofttt... *

He was about to say something but, his mouth had been filled with blood. He began to cough and warmth slowly left his body.

'I don't want to die' he thought as tears came out of his eyes and his consciousness faded away.

The remaining Elo and Elena no longer had the strength to resist, but the knight ignored them at this time and lifted Britt closer to him. Incidentally, the sword that had pierced through his chest was still stuck there and looked extremely terrifying.

[Collars]

With a crackling sound, his chains slowly rose, as if being moved by magic. There were collars attached at the end of his chain, it looked to be made of leather with some sharp thorns stuck on it.

[You look like you're going to die unless I do this ..]

With a cynical smile, the knight said this with his low and hoarse voice.

As the collar locked onto Britt's neck, the blood that had flowed from his chest until now was healed. It was almost as if a high-level healing magic had been given to him.

[Happy. Because you will serve me as a loyal dog]

The knight pulled three more chains.

With a crackling sound, the chains with collars attached to them winding towards the amara, bodil, and ingrid that lost their consciousness. Then the collar clings to their necks with a voice.

* Click *

[Now, you choose. Will you wear that collar on yourself, or I'll force it on you by force. I must tell you, the choice of death will not be allowed for you. Because my master has allowed me to do whatever I want to you. ]

As he said that, the knight looked down on Elo and Elena.

Although they could not see her face, the priestess and mage knew that her face was shaking from dark desires.

Then, they also understood their fate.

But whether it was due to their overreaching fear or their persistence as adventurers, the two exchanged glances and began chanting magic to fight against the knight.

“—Support, Fortify Magic. ”

"—Destruction, Explosive Flame!"

With her magic amplified by Elena, Elo shoots her strongest magic.

A large magic circle began to form under the feet and over the knight's head.

The sea of flames would explode within the magic circle that would impact the surrounding area and burn everything in the surrounding area to ashes, and for that reason there was a possibility that Elo and Elena alone, were, the ones around the magic circle, might be rolled up by the impact of the explosion and die.

But even so, they still fired those large-scale attacks, taking it as an act of revenge.

"—counter, Extinguish Magic"

With the counter magic power, the magic circle that had previously emitted the light of destruction slowly disappeared like a firecracker that let out smoke but did not explode.

The person who previously cast magic was not a blue armored knight.

Except someone they know well.

"Infrey ……"

"Why……"

The one who cast the counter magic was the female Knight Ingrid, one of the members of [Sword Valkyrie].

Ignoring the surprised voice of his friend, Ingrid crawled like a dog and went towards the blue knight.

No, it's not just Ingrid.

Britt, Bodil, and Amara, also crawled like dogs and approached the blue knight.

[snarling]

The chain makes a crackling sound.

Immediately, they all made a barking sound like a dog loyal to its owner.

"Gukk"

"woof"

"woof woof"

“woo~of”

Both of them were shaken to see their friend who acted like a dog, losing their humanity.

Not the fear of death.

It is a fear because it understands why blue knights wear collars on them, and at the same time destroy their own human nature, turning them into dogs.

[Ha, hahahaha, ahahahaha]

Seeing the irresistible funny sight of those following his orders, the blue knight burst into laughter.

Then Elo and Elena ignored her laughter and closed their eyes to run away from reality.

As if intending to end his second nightmare, the dark blue knight took out another two collars for them.
