Neither Lucian, Gary, nor Colaya heard the sounds of fighting, shouting, or footsteps.
Hasen, a high-ranking, strong, reserved knight, disappeared just like that.
The chill quickly rose from the soles of the feet and spread throughout the body until Lucian's breath became slightly heavy.
Holding the sword of light tightly, Lucian quickly turned his head and looked back.
On the other side of the sewer wall, the green moss glittered faintly, but the Hasen that disappeared without a trace was very strange.
Suddenly, screams rang out, and Lucian, who had just turned his head and was nervous, looked down involuntarily.
A large human-tall rat had thrown Colaya to the ground. His sharp claws pierced through Colaya's shoulders, tearing through the hard armor until blood flowed out, dyeing the silver-gray armor red. While on the pair of red eyes it seemed to contain a little scorn.
It was just that his mouth was wide open and a terrifying row of teeth bit into the long sword Colaya had slashed down in time.
As a high-ranking knight, Colaya used the most common swordsmanship to save her own life. When in danger, the shield he held in his left hand pushed firmly towards the belly of the huge rat.
The fear of facing danger that appears before the eyes is much lower than the unknown danger. At least for Lucian, a human-sized, red-eyed giant rat that moved silently was far more acceptable than "the mysterious disappearance of someone".
Taking a deep breath, Lucian did not delay to swing the sword of light and slash towards the red-eyed giant rat to save Colaya.
But at this moment, a low roar like a beast sounded from behind Lucian.
“Something happens to Gary too.” When Lucian remembered Gary standing behind him, a sharp knight sword suddenly slashed at Lucian's back.
The pale white light from the light shield shook violently, and dimmed a few times. At the same time, the massive impact of the attack left Lucian wavering, staggering and taking a few steps forward.
However, the knight's longsword continued to chase and slash constantly, making Lucian completely unable to keep the balance of the body, it was even difficult to swing his light sword, making it difficult to even swing his light sword, let alone concentrate on rubbing the sacred emblem and using magic spells.
Lucian dodged frantically, startled and confused, "Why did Gary attack me?"
The attack from the knight's long sword came from behind again. If it wasn't for Gary, there's only one possibility, that Gary would be dead.
The rhythm of the knight's long sword attack was difficult to guess, and it did not give Lucian the opportunity to stabilize the balance of the body, forcing Lucian to retreat into the secret room.
But after Lucian was continuously slashed, he realized he was not injured at all, so his panic gradually calmed down. He had a shield of light, so why should he try to restore balance but not directly fight back?
The thought flashed, as the knight's long sword slashed down again, Lucian fell to the ground, rolled over, and held the holy emblem with his left hand.
At this moment, Lucian finally saw clearly who was attacking him.
The culprit is indeed Gary, a quiet and reserved Gary.
But the muscles on his face looked stiff, his eyes red.
"Is it possible that the poison contained in the red-eyed rat has not been completely eliminated, and could make the victim irrational, as well as turn into a bloodthirsty animal?" Lucian thought about this aspect as soon as he saw Gary's performance, "But why am I okay? Why don't I feel any abnormalities."
Lucian did not have time to think much more, so he focused his mind, touched the cross on the sacred emblem with his left hand, and began reciting the mantra.
The iron round shield suddenly pushed here strongly and struck the light shield, thus shaking the light shield.
Although the shield's attack did not destroy the light shield, but the shock and shock made Lucian's chest feel suffocated, unable to breathe regularly, and a half-read spell stuck in his throat.
The blow from the shield caused Lucian's breathing rhythm to become disrupted, and he could no longer concentrate.
As a high-level true knight, Gary was well trained in interfering with the recitation of enemy spells.
Of course, whether it was a priest, a witch, or even another spellcaster, when they saw this kind of Lucian, they would shake their heads and sigh. It was only for the person who had not learned the most basic concentration of chanting, so that his spell could be thwarted by the usual attacks of a knight. If the one against Gary was now a priest disciple or a magician disciple, Gary should have died from the start against a sacred emblem that had first-rate magic and a light shield that had been activated.
When facing the same level, the party that could use magic always had an absolute advantage.
Lucian is troubled by his inability to concentrate on reciting magic spells. As Colaya's situation grew more and more dangerous now, it seemed that his hands and feet were starting to weaken. His right hand that was holding a long sword had been pressed all the way to his chest, and his wrist that was on his chest also trembled violently.
Fortunately, the giant rat that was pressing down on Colaya seemed to be running out of steam, so it was not as violent as before.
Unable to recite the spell, Lucian could only slash with the light sword held in his right hand, and was no longer fixated with the magic spell.
After fighting with the red-eyed rat, Lucian already had a certain understanding of the sharpness of this summoned light sword, which was basically clearly far superior to the knight long sword held in Gary's hand.
However, in the face of this sword of light, Gary did not act like a savage beast that lost its mind, but swung a long sword to resist.
Gary did not dare to go. Because once the distance the two of them were away, Lucian could recite magic that even a knight who had already gained bloodline power would be in peril. A little mistake can be severely injured, even to death.
The radiant sword slashed down on the longsword of Gary's knight, but there was no loud sound from the metallic clashing.
Quietly, the knight's long sword seemed to be split like wood, but at this moment, Gary instantly pulled back his round shield.
There are scratches on the round shield that look almost makes the shield split in two.
Lucian was about to take the opportunity to counterattack, but the already weakened sword of light broke out at this moment. The pieces of light scattered and fell.
The light sword that had started to lose its power since slashing the magic trap wall, was eventually depleted and broken, could no longer be maintained.
Lucian was stunned for a moment, and Gary took advantage of this opportunity to push the powerful round shield and hit the light shield which also became thin and dim.
Shards of shields flew up, in the end the light shield flickered a few times and trembled before disappearing.
Lucian's greatest dependence on the shield of light was already shattered after surviving a continuous attack.
There was no time to reflect on the mistakes that had been made due to lack of battle experience or not being calm enough. Lucian rubs the cross on the sacred emblem, focuses his mind and recites the mantra.
"Skekkh."
The short syllable only came out half-voice and Gary had already dealt a powerful blow to Lucian's stomach, making Lucian curl up like a shrimp, and a thick, sour taste appeared in his throat.
After interrupting Lucian's spell, Gary's other hand stretched out, clutching Lucian's neck firmly and tightly.
Lucian held Gary's five fingers firmly with his right hand. As a high-level knight, although Gary's stamina and energy had been drained a lot after such a long battle, but in the face of an ordinary person like Lucian, he was still far ahead.
Lucian is getting harder to breathe. His neck hurt so much that Lucian's eyes blackened for a while his left hand holding the sacred emblem was pressed to the chest by Gary's other hand, and Lucian's entire body was also pressed firmly.
The sound of a panting ferocious beast rang out in Lucian's ears. The cold touch of the iron glove moved from the skin to Lucian's brain, making Lucian, who became increasingly confused, suddenly wake up a little.
His soul trembled, creating an overwhelming sense of observer. Lucian's desire to survive erupted, his spirit seemed to break through a certain boundary like a widespread sea.
At this moment, Gary's right hand holding Lucian's neck became much weaker, like Colaya and the giant rat who were hitting, biting, and slashing all out, all at once, Lucian now gets a chance to breathe.
It is strange that this sudden weakening of Gary, and his powers are disappearing even more, but Lucian has learned many valuable lessons from before. Lucian was no longer panicking, shocked and doubtful. Its concentration is centered, and it stimulates the magic of the sacred emblem.
As soon as he touched the sacred emblem, Lucian was startled, as if he had entered a sea of holy light. Strange patterns of lines, circles, triangles, squares, and crosses appeared in Lucian's senses in countless magnifications, with deep mysteries.
Upon a closer look, Lucian discovers that the cross exudes the smell of Benjamin, a complicated smell.
Lucian touched the cross with curiosity, but it suddenly shook. As if it had broken something, one of the strange patterns in the surroundings suddenly lit up, a condensed, majestic and terrifying light appearing.
The surprised Lucian quickly pulled back his telepathy, but it was still too late. A streak of pure white light shot out from the sacred emblem and swiped with the edge of Lucian's spirit, making Lucian nauseous and headache as if he was about to break, as well as a cold, fishy, liquid, a rusty smell suddenly flows out of the nostrils.
After a beam of light shot out, the light drew and gathered strength from around, making it even bigger. Gary seemed to sense a great danger and rushed to the side. But at such a close distance, no matter how fast he reacted, it was already impossible. Gary's right hand and part of his shoulder completely evaporated, his wound charred black, no blood flowing out at all.
'Can activate magic without spells and rub the cross?’ This was the first thing Lucian thought about, then he hurriedly rolled to the side, afraid that Gary who was hit by this attack could still fight.
After rolling over, Lucian realized that his hands and feet were sore and weak, he also looked at Gary as he rolled over.
"It." Lucian said in surprise, as the scene he saw was completely beyond his expectations.
Gary was lying on the ground, his eyes half open, looking almost dying, but the face and the red glow from his eyes had already disappeared.
In the surroundings, the pool of red blood left behind after the slain red-eyed rat had evaporated into a faint red mist that filled the entire secret room and the nearby sewer.
In the secret room, a strange human-shaped plant stretched its branches and leaves in a pale red blood mist, looking very comfortable.
The battle on the other hand had undergone an unimaginable change. All this time it wasn't the giant rat that fought desperately with Colaya, but Hasen, the quiet Hasen.
Their knight swords stuck each other in the bodies of each other.
