The Labyrinth Kingdom

Chaptre 58. The Azure Knight 2

Time slowly passed by slowly.

The soldiers who were watching the battlefield became even more vigilant.

Although they were certain that the knight must have died, they somehow felt that something strange was going on.

The dust cloud slowly began to fade and the location where the explosion occurred slowly began to be visible.

The main road that was previously smooth without any obstacles, now turned like a volcanic crater.

The cracks on the ground spread from the center of the explosion, looking like a large spider web.

The people who saw this scene became amazed and more alert because soon the truth would appear.

As the dust cloud almost disappeared completely, a strange sound suddenly sounded from the center of the explosion and the silhouette of something moving around like a snake could be seen.

'Sringg... Kingggg... Sringggs... Sringggs... '

The sound of chains grinding against each other was becoming clearer.

After a while, the dust cloud completely disappeared and people could clearly see where the source of the sound was.

At the center of the explosion, dozens of chains wrapped around each other forming a large sphere could be seen. It kept moving around as if it were alive.

"A, what is it? "

"I don't know either, but it looks like the chain belongs to the Azure Knight"

"hhh...! So he was still alive, even after being hit by a devastating attack earlier"

"The chains seemed to have protected the knight"

"J, don't tell me that chain is an artifact!? "

"Seeing from its ability to withstand a powerful attack earlier, it was most likely that the chain was indeed an Artifact"

"B, isn't this dangerous, we are fighting Artifact users, if we don't retreat now, everyone will die"

Looking at the scene before them, the soldiers started discussing with each other, they looked worried at the moment.

Ero who saw the atmosphere around him began to row back towards his master.

"T, sir, what to do now? " tanya Ero looks hesitant.

In this world, Artifact users belong to the category of extremely powerful fighters.

You really shouldn't be looking for trouble with them, otherwise you'll die without knowing the cause.

Ero realized how dangerous their current situation was, To be honest he really wanted to pull back all the sakarang troops, but he could not do that without his master's orders.

Jasper who heard his subordinate's question did not immediately reply, he seemed to be thinking of something.

'Should I back down now, but, my image in front of the princess would probably be bad.

Moreover, even though the knight had managed to withstand the powerful attack earlier, it should have been that he was injured at the moment or at least exhausted from using too much energy to activate his Artefak.

Otherwise, he would probably counterattack right now rather than remain hidden within his Artefak.

So, what am I supposed to do now? '

At first glance he glanced at the princess who was currently still looking at the battlefield with an interested look.

'it looks like I'll have to bet this time'

After deciding what to do next, Jasper shouted towards his troops.

"EVERYBODY QUIET..... !!! "

Hearing the orders from their master, all the soldiers who had previously made a commotion began to remain silent.

"As you all have realized, our opponent is an Artifact user, so the chances of us being massacred will be very high if we continue the fight" Jasper said.

The soldier who heard his words became even more worried, they all knew how dangerous the Artifact user was.

On the real battlefield, the Artifact user was a terrifying mass murder weapon.

So, the soldiers were really frightened at this moment.

"But if he is in a normal condition, at the moment the person should be injured, otherwise he would not be able to remain hidden at this time" Jasper said.

The soldiers who heard his words, turned to look at the chain ball at the center of the explosion.

"Truely, isn't that very strange"

"Seeing from the aggressive attitude he had in the fight earlier, he should have been counterattacking by now. Why is he still keeping himself in that ball? "

"Is he dying in there?"

The soldiers whispered to each other, they were expressing their suspicions.

Seeing the atmosphere around him getting better, Jasper looked happy.

"The person should be recovering in that chain ball. The more time we waste, the more time we give him to recover.

This is the best chance to kill him. " Shouted Jasper.

Currently, Jasper was trying to restore the fighting spirit of his subordinates who had decreased, of course he used the [Demagog] skill to make it easier.

{ket: Demagogues are basically the ability to incite people, more details ask google.}

"This is the last chance we have to kill him, Search and Destroy !!!! " shouted Jasper

"YAHHHH....!!!! "

"SEARCH AND DESTROY....!!!! "

"WOOOHH... Attack!!!! "

"SERANGGG....!!! "

"Don't give him a chance to heal himself" Jasper shouted.

Despite still having a hint of doubt in their hearts, the soldiers ventured to attack the second wave after hearing Jasper's words.

The [Demagog] skill that Jasper used, seemed to have succeeded in making the fighting spirit of the soldiers burn again.

"WOOOOOOOOOHHH !!!!!! "

The cries of the soldiers echoed in the battleground, they spurred his horse swiftly towards Dustin.

Dustin, who had been silent in his protective guard, slowly opened his eyes after noticing their arrival.

The eyes that had previously emitted a blue Light from behind his helmet, the cleavage gradually turned blood red and a killing aura filled his body.

"Interesting, you guys would rather fight than retreat, then I gladly accept your challenge, the SECOND ROUND BATTLE BEGINS !!! HAHAHHH HAHAHH.... "

"[Collar: Fashion Annihilation] "

As Dustin activated his artifact, the chains that had previously formed a ball to protect him began to move apart and create a gap for him.

The approaching soldiers could see two red lights slowly moving from within the darkness.

Dustin casually walked out of his protector.

Even though he had managed to withstand the previous attack, he still received severe injuries. Some parts of his armor had been badly damaged and black blood dripped out of it.

The previous attack was much stronger than he had predicted, he would actually die if he did not activate his [Ark Protector] Skill.

The soldiers who saw Dustin had been seriously injured, became even more excited.

"DESTROY.... !!! " shouted the soldiers.

They began to speed up the horse.

Looking at the assailants who were getting closer, Dustin started activating his strongest Artifact skill.

"[Forest of the Impaled] "

The soldiers who saw this thought that Dustin had run out of energy to activate his artifact.

But....

As the soldiers got more and more excited about attacking him, suddenly from underground, the chains that had previously disappeared were sticking out.

Dozens of chains suddenly emerged from underground and knocked into the surrounding spear forest.

The people who failed to dodge the impromptu attack, were pierced and hung in the air.

"Uhukkp... Hukkk"

"Argggg...."

"Arhkkkkkkr... Huggg..."

"Shy-Hihik... "

"Relihikk... "

Not only the soldiers, even the horses they rode were also at the beginning.

The blood of the victims dripped down, looking like a torrential rain.

The sudden attack left the soldiers who had managed to survive, greatly shocked and frightened.

Moreover, coupled with the fiery red eyes belonging to the dastin and the killing aura emanating from his body as well as the rain of blood amidst the spear forest.

This visualization effect, making anyone who saw it would be frightened.

“The number of survivors is more than I thought. " A hoarse voice could be heard from within his deep blue armor.

Dustin muttered with a hint of impatience and fearless excitement as he casually held his sword.

Most of the soldiers who had previously wanted to perform pincer attacks from his left and right were killed by his skill.

“But, it won't cause any problems. " Dustin muttered as he turned towards his remaining opponent.

His voice was filled with confidence.

On the other hand, the soldiers who had managed to survive his attack were terrified as if they had seen a nightmare come true.

They shook their heads several times, trying to escape reality.

But it was futile.

"Silly …"

“No Possibility”

"Crazy evil… "

"Don't come near.... "

"Don't kill me.... "

Those were the words Dustin was tired of hearing.

But, the words of the girl standing behind Jasper sounded different.

"…, Incredible" Jeanne muttered in a low voice so that no one could hear her.

However, the hearing ability of the knight called Dustin was different from that of an ordinary being.

He could hear her words clearly, which made him arouse interest in the woman.

As if seeing this as a crack, Jasper shouted loudly.

"RETURN...!!! "

Although he saw Dustin had been seriously injured, Jasper decided to retreat.

He could judge that the person he was fighting was a true Monster, if normal beings had such injuries, they would definitely die in the near future.

Dustin is not.

In fact, he could still activate an extremely powerful Skill to slaughter his troops.

If they continued to fight, they would only die in a cruel manner.

The remaining troops, comprehended this matter and immediately spread out.

Jasper also tries to escape, but suddenly remembers the princess he had to protect.

He tried to ascertain whether the princess had safely escaped with her personal bodyguard.

But.....

what he saw was an unbelievable sight.

What she saw was Jeanne running fearlessly through the impalement forest towards the Azure Knight who was in the middle of that terrifying place.

"A, ap... Princess Sir!!! "

"Daughter!!"

Jasper and Ingrid, who had been too scared since then, shouted at the same time after seeing the princess they were supposed to protect running towards the enemy.

As if not hearing their voices, Jeanne kept running up to Dustin and saying something to him.

Upon hearing his words, Dustin looked at the woman with a wary look.

"You know what consequences you'll have to bear if you dare to lie to me? " dustin said in a hoarse voice.

"I know, take me to him!" jeanne replied firmly.

Dustin looked at the woman a moment, before.....

"[Collar: Manipulation Mode]"

The surrounding impalement forest suddenly disappeared, and the chains previously used to make the forest again hung on its edge.

"[Hellhounds Creation]"

The chain around Dustin's waist suddenly slid towards Jeanne.

It was a disgusting skill that had previously humiliated Ingrid as a human.

But at that moment almost Jeanne, the direction of the chain slightly deviated and even hit the dying horse behind her.

Dustin was actually testing Jeanne, if she had shown a little fear in front of him, Dustin would have found her lying and immediately enslaved her.

But unfortunately from beginning to end, Jeanne did not show the slightest fear, even she dared to look at him.

Although his current body was filled with cold sweat as it had borne the aura of death that Dustin was emitting.

Jeanne was not afraid.

After judging that Jeanne was not lying, Dustin placed the princess of the Kingdom of Liberas on a horse he had enslaved.

The [Hellhounds Creation] skill was not only useful for humans, but all living beings who had necks.

Ignoring the fleeing patrolling soldiers, Dustin took Jeanne away to the northwest.

In the northwest part of the Main road there is the great forest of Lamas, the site of the labyrinth kingdom of barada.

On the other hand, General Jasper's patrol squad, could only watch their shadows disappear from his sight.

He did not try to chase, for fear of being killed.

While Ingrid who from the beginning knew the purpose of both, spurring his horse quickly tried to catch up.

Although he felt extremely scared at the moment, but he was more afraid of leaving his master alone with the monster.
