Throne of Magical Arcana

——The third watch is around eleven o'clock, asking for a monthly pass.

………………………………………………………………………

"When", there was a high and crisp metal collision sound. It was not Todd and others' weapons that blocked Natasha's "Thunder" sword from Verdi, but Todd gave up the attack and was caught by Wynn with both hands. The giant sword slashed fiercely at his steeled body from top to bottom.

But even if the two-handed giant sword was slashing towards his head, Todd only dodged slightly, did not flinch, did not take back the countless steel thorns he condensed and flew towards Natasha's long sword, but used his own The body acts as a shield to prevent Wynn from being blocked by the giant sword with both hands.

The transparent metal mask of the helmet was split directly, and a deep scar appeared on the rigid face shining with silver-white metal light, dividing Todd's nose and mouth in two, but what flowed out of the wound was not blood, but blood. A silver-white metallic liquid, it is working hard to restore the hideous and terrifying face that makes people have nightmares at night.

Relying on the strength of the fifth-level great knight and the toughness of steel, Todd blocked Wynn's two-handed giant sword. Although under the impact of strength, his bloody long sword did not cut Natasha's neck as expected, but also hit Natasha's back heavily.

The milky-white blood dragon armor that had been severely broken long ago was unable to stop such an attack at all. A terrifying wound appeared on Natasha's back, and silver-gray blood gushed out, and her spine and internal organs could be vaguely seen.

Natasha bit her lips tightly, and did not groan in pain. Instead, she used the momentum and damage to make the "Thunder" sword she slashed faster and fiercer.

After cutting off Sylvia, the silver-white electric snake surrounded by "Thunder" became more dazzling. With a snap, a thick lightning bolt fell from the sky, hitting Verdi hard.

After this extraordinary long sword hits the opponent, it has a certain chance to trigger real lightning.

The damaged dark purple armor quickly scorched black, and Verdi, who had just recovered from paralysis with the help of Sylvia and the following knights, quickly fell into a desperate situation with standing hair and sluggish limbs.

Looking at the long sword that was coming, Verdi's eyes seemed to spew out endless anger. Even in the face of desperation, he did not give up the will and spirit to fight. He mobilized a small amount of power that he could control, and his right hand broke through the slowness and paralysis. Caught on "Thunder".

Numerous flying lightning bursts, and Verdi's right palm and forearm were cut off directly, but this bought him time, the transparent shield of truth solidified rapidly on his neck, and at the same time, his feet, which had eased a little, also pushed forward hard. Kick back.

The "Shield of Truth" that has not been completely condensed in Thunder Slash, a gap that is illusory and does not seem to exist in this world appears, and after only a slight stagnation, the Sword of Truth makes the Shield of Truth torn apart like a real shield, and then slashed across Verdi neck panned backwards.

The neck split open quickly, and bright red blood gushed out like a fountain.

It's a pity that Verdi's backward movement prevented Natasha's long sword from hitting him completely. Although most of his neck was severed, and his cervical spine was also deeply wounded, it was wobbly and seemed to be broken at any time, but relying on With the strong vitality of the great knight, he did not die immediately, but fell into a coma.

He relied on his knight will to save his life at a critical moment.

Natasha was about to change the direction of the dragon-scaled horse and send the half-dead Verdi to hell, but after giving up the siege, the great knights from the other directions had rushed to Verdi's side and blocked his way. in front of you.

Simply weighing the situation and how long she could maintain the strength inspired by her serious injury, Natasha galloped past Verdi with a little regret but not greedy, and rushed towards the Black Forest of Melzer. This was not only a matter of herself and her family The glory, but also implicated the lives of loyal knights, so I can't help myself.

Because those knights rushed to rescue Verdi, Wynn and Lucien followed Natasha and rushed out of the encirclement without encountering any obstacles. Yakasha also seized the opportunity and did not pester the knight anymore, but made a After attacking the unconscious Verdi, he drove the horse with serious injuries and quickly followed. Only Daniel, who was completely trapped by the knights in the attack just now, was seriously injured and died.

The four dragon-scaled horses were extremely fast, and they were quickly approaching the edge of the Black Forest under the pursuit of Todd and others. At this moment, Natasha turned around suddenly and threw the three-meter-long "Slayer" black lance back. .

Under Natasha's full strength, strange black convective lines appeared on the tip of the "Slayer" gun again, and there was a violent roar after flying over.

Before Todd saw Natasha's movements, he subconsciously rolled from the dragon-scaled horse to the nearby wilderness. The "Slayer" passed by his original position, and walked towards another fourth-level great knight who was chasing after him. fly away.

The fourth-level great knight did not dodge like Todd, but picked up a golden shield to block in front of him.

The "Slayer" hit his shield, and without a sound, an illusory and terrifying crack appeared on the shield. This crack not only cut off the shield, but also quickly spread to his armor and horse.

The black spear pierced through and fell to the ground. The fourth-level great knight and his dragon-scale horse shattered into countless small pieces like glass products.

This is Natasha's final eruption by relying on the "Slayer", the extraordinary weapon treasured by the Violet family, and her own blood power.

Todd stood up from the ground, and what he saw were Natasha, Lucien and others who disappeared into the black forest, and what he saw were the shocked knights behind.

"Some of the knights stayed to guard the Earl, and the rest followed me to chase." Todd glanced at the unconscious Verdi, gave the order on his behalf, and then led ten knights to the Black Forest of Melzer. .

Natasha must be killed, otherwise what awaits everyone is the deprivation of titles, the execution of all family members, and the end of being sent to the northern fortress to act as a death squad after being controlled by magic, but Todd dare not let all the knights go with him Chase and kill Natasha, because Verdi's injury is very serious, even if there are healing potions, healing bandages and other items, it may take a long time to recover.

If all the knights left, and when they came back, they found that the noble and brave Earl Verdi had been snatched away by wild wolves that came out of the Black Forest, then the matter would become a complete joke.

…………

Going deep into the black forest, the trees became thicker, and tall creatures like dragon scale horses were no longer suitable for riding and galloping, so Lucien and the others dismounted and prepared to flee on foot.

After jumping off the dragon-scale horse, Natasha didn't stand still, and her legs gave way and she fell directly to the ground.

Lucien and Wynn rushed over and found that Natasha's face was flushed abnormally and she had fallen into a coma. Her abdomen was bloody and there were many wounds through which the soil behind her could be directly seen.

"It seems that the more serious the injury, the stronger the blood power has a time limit, and the after-effects are not small." Although Lucien was very worried about Natasha's situation, he still calmly and "scientifically" evaluated the situation. blood power.

I touched Natasha's forehead and nose, and found that the originally cold skin was scorching hot, and there were rough bumps protruding from the greasy feeling, which was extremely frightening, but fortunately, her breathing was still stable.

"The injury is not serious enough to be life-threatening. Relying on the strong resilience of the great knight, Natasha will be able to recover most of it in a short time, but I don't know how long the sequelae of her blood backlash will last." Lucien concluded Same conclusion as Wynn.

Wynn, who was also seriously injured, looked back outside the Black Forest, and motioned for Lucien to carry Natasha on his back and pick up the "Thunder Sword", while he carried Akasha, who was also seriously injured and unable to stand still: "One side Talk while running."

Without delay, Lucien picked up Natasha and ran into the depths of the Black Forest with Wynn: "Baron Wynn, you are the strongest among us, you should take Her Royal Highness around the Black Forest first. Go out and rush back to Alto, and Sir Akasha and I are definitely not as important as hunting down and killing Her Royal Highness in the eyes of Verdi and the others, there should be no danger in hiding in the Black Forest."

Leading Lucien to turn left and turn right, Wynn replied with a wry smile: "Baron Todd is a fifth-level grand knight. I was able to resist him for so long thanks to the blessing of the Lord and the encouragement of the princess. It arrived so intact. And most importantly, Todd will definitely lead someone to chase him. He is very familiar with my characteristics and habits. Let Her Royal Highness hide in the dark mountains, and when the sun rises, the church will definitely find out and send people to search, and then it will be safe."

"Are you distracting?" Lucien was slightly puzzled.

Wynn nodded: "As you said, Lucien, I am the strongest among us. Todd and the others must think that Her Royal Highness is protected by me. Even if a knight is sent to chase you, it will not be the strongest. The stronger ones, and you still have the Thundering Sword."

"Okay." Lucien understood that time was running out, and after thinking about it, he agreed.

Because Lucien is not a knight belonging to Natasha, Wynn did not intend to force Lucien. After seeing his promise, he ordered: "Take off the blood dragon armor of Her Royal Highness. The big knight can distinguish the smell of blood, so I Such a tool is needed."

Lucien quickly hugged Natasha on his back, took off her seriously damaged blood dragon armor and threw it to Wynn while running, and then picked her up again.

Seriously injured but still awake, Yakasha tied the blood dragon armor on his body, and said with a peaceful smile, "Lucien, I'll leave it to you. If we die in battle, please remember to send a bouquet of flowers to the cemetery in the future .”

"Lucien, wait and find some special plants to cover up the smell of blood on Her Royal Highness." Wynn warned, his eyes full of trust, Natasha's white knight uniform was almost completely stained with silver gray by her own blood.

Watching Wynn and Yakasha change direction and distract the pursued enemies, Lucien hesitated a little. If he left Natasha here and ran away by himself, his danger would be minimized.

But Lucien realized in a blink of an eye that Natasha treated him like a true friend and never tried to hurt him. Instead, he often deceived and used her, and Wynn and Akasha's trusting expressions and eyes were still clearly visible, so He sighed softly: "Why am I obviously a dedicated and cold magician, but now I look like a hot-blooded knight instead."

Lucien didn't hesitate anymore, the bright starlight lit up, and the round shield wrapped himself and Natasha inside, so that the taste and smell of blood would be blocked a lot.

"Hey, Lucien, you got a lot of good things in the ruins, there are magic items and magic items." Natasha's laughter suddenly sounded, and she didn't know when she had woken up. Then she said softly, "I only have one friend left."

There is a rare pain, sadness and tenderness in the voice.

…………

Alto, deep in the sewers.

Countless mice densely packed like a black tide came out from nowhere, their red eyes were indifferent and ferocious.
