Neither Lucian, nor Gary, nor Correa heard the sound of fighting, screaming, or rushing away.
The tall, strong, taciturn, and extraordinarily powerful high-ranking knight attendant Hausen actually disappeared so silently?!
A coolness quickly rose from the soles of his feet and spread throughout his body, and Lucian's breathing became slightly heavy.
Holding the Radiant Sword tightly, Lucian quickly turned his head and looked behind him.
On the wall of the sewer on the other side, the blue moss shone faintly, but the nowhere to be seen made them look very strange.
Suddenly, a scream sounded, and Lucian, who had just turned his head and was nervous, subconsciously looked over.
A huge human-like rat had already threw Correa to the ground, its sharp claws piercing into his shoulder, breaking the hard chain mail, blood flowing out, staining the silver-gray armor red, its bright red eyes, and the monster seemed to contain a bit of mockery.
It's just that its wide open mouth and the row of daunting teeth bit on Correa's long sword that was struck horizontally in time.
As a high-ranking knight attendant, Correa saved his life with the most standard swordsmanship moves at the most dangerous time, and the shield he was holding in his left hand swung fiercely and struck the giant mouse's abdomen.
The fear that has emerged is far lower than the unknown, at least for Lucian, a red-eyed giant rat the size of an ordinary human and moving silently is much easier to accept than "mysterious disappearance".
Taking a breath, Lucian did not delay, and the lightsaber he was holding slashed at the red-eyed giant rat to rescue Correa.
But at this time, a low, beast-like roar came from behind Lucian.
"Something happened to Gary too?!" When Lucian remembered Gary standing behind him, a sharp knight's longsword slashed Lucian in the back.
The pale white brilliance of the Holy Light Shield shook violently, and it became much darker at once, and at the same time, the huge impact made Lucian stand unsteadily, staggering forward and taking several steps forward.
The knight's longsword pursued and slashed continuously, making Lucian completely unable to balance in a hurry, and it was difficult to even swing the sword of radiance, let alone concentrate, rubbing the holy emblem, and using spells to stimulate divine magic.
Lucian dodged in a panic, shocked and confused: "Why did Gary attack me?!"
The attack from the knight's long sword was slashed from behind again, if it wasn't for Gary, there was only one possibility, Gary was dead!
The rhythm of the Knight's Longsword's attack was very good, and it did not give Lucian a chance to stabilize his center of gravity at all, forcing Lucian to stumble into the secret room.
But after Lucian was continuously slashed, he found that he had not suffered any damage, and the panic in his heart gradually calmed down, he had a shield of holy light, why did he still look for to restore his balance and fight him hand-to-hand?!
Thoughts flashed by, and when the knight's longsword slashed again, Lucian fell to the ground, rolled over, and held the Holy Emblem with his left hand, which he had already prepared.
At this time, Lucian finally saw clearly who attacked him.
It was indeed Gary, the calm and restrained Gary.
But the muscles on his face were twisted, his eyes were shining red, and he was naked and wild.
"Could it be that the poison contained in the red-eyed mouse has not been completely eliminated, and it can also make people lose their minds and turn them into bloodthirsty beasts?" As soon as Lucian saw Gary's appearance, he thought of this, "But why am I fine and don't feel anything unusual?!"
Lucian didn't have time to think about this doubt and strangeness, so he concentrated, and with his left hand, he reached out the cross on the holy emblem and was about to open his mouth to recite the spell.
The round shield wrapped in iron sheets swung out fiercely, hitting the Holy Light Shield and striking the Holy Light Shield unsteadily.
Although this shield blow did not break the shield of holy light, the shaking and impact transmitted made Lucian's chest choke, his breathing was difficult, and the half-recited spell was stuck in his throat.
The shield hit hard with a blow caused Lucian's breathing rhythm to be frequently disrupted, and he could no longer concentrate.
As a squire who is expected to become a true knight, Gary has decent and formal training in interrupting casting.
Of course, whether it is a priest, a magician, or even other spellcasters, when they see Lucian like this, they will shake their heads and sigh, only those who have not even learned the most basic spellcasting concentration will be interrupted by the knight's attendants, and if they are replaced by any apprentice priest or magic apprentice, the first-order Truth Emblem and the inspired Holy Light Shield, Gary should have died a long time ago.
When facing the same tier, the spellcaster always has an absolute advantage!
Lucian was distressed by not being able to concentrate and stimulate his magic, while Correa over there was becoming more and more dangerous, and seemed to be starting to weaken his hands and feet.
Fortunately, the humanoid giant rat entangled with him seemed to be unable to keep up, and was not as fierce as before.
Unable to recite the spell, Lucian simply slashed the radiant sword in his right hand upwards, no longer entangled in stimulating magic.
After fighting with the red-eyed rats, Lucian already had a certain understanding of the sharpness of this summoned lightsaber, which was definitely far better than the knight's longsword in Gary's hand.
Under the heavy blow of Gary's shield, Lucian's sword seemed to be swung randomly, unable to maintain stability and aim at Gary's vital points.
However, in the face of this sunny long sword, Gary did not behave like a beast that had lost his mind, but hurriedly blocked the knight's long sword forward.
He didn't seem to dare to dodge, once he distanced himself from Lucian, facing a ring of divine magic, even a formal knight who stimulated the power of the bloodline was very dangerous, and if he was not careful, he would be seriously injured or even killed.
The Radiant Sword slashed on top of the knight's long sword, but there was no crisp sound of metal impact.
Silently, the knight's longsword broke in half like a piece of wood, but at this time, Gary had already taken the shield back in front of him.
Deep scratches appeared on the shield, almost splitting in half.
Lucian was about to take the opportunity to fight back, but the Sword of Radiance, the Sword of Radiance, which had already dimmed a lot, shattered at this time, and pieces of light flew down.
The Radiant Sword, which had been losing its power since it cut through a wall with a magic trap, finally ran out of all and could not be maintained.
Lucian was stunned for a moment, and Gary went to seize this opportunity, swung the round shield fiercely, and hit the holy light shield that had also become thin and dim hard,
Shield fragments flew all over the sky, and the Holy Light shield flickered and shook for a moment, then disappeared directly.
Lucian's greatest reliance on the Holy Light shield was completely shattered after withstanding continuous attacks.
Unable to reflect on the mistakes he had made due to his lack of combat experience or lack of calmness, Lucian rubbed the cross on the emblem and desperately concentrated to recite the spell.
"S...... Ahem."
The short syllable only made half a sound, and the punch that Gary had prepared hit Lucian in the abdomen heavily, causing Lucian to curl up like a dried shrimp, and a thick sour taste appeared in his throat.
Interrupting Lucian's chanting, Gary's other hand eased, slammed Lucian's neck, and tightened it tightly.
Lucian grabbed Gary's five fingers with his right hand, but as a high-ranking knight attendant, even after such a long battle, Gary had a serious loss of physical strength and energy.
His breathing became more and more difficult, his neck hurt abnormally, Lucian's eyes darkened, and his left hand holding the holy emblem was fixed on his chest by Gary's other hand, which also firmly pressed Lucian's entire body.
Hehe's beast gasped in Lucian's ears, and the cold touch of the iron gloves transmitted from his skin to Lucian's mind, making Lucian, who was becoming more and more unconscious, suddenly wake up a little.
Lucian's desire to survive exploded, and his spirit seemed to have broken through a certain boundary, spreading like seawater.
At this time, Gary's right hand, which was holding Lucian's neck, suddenly became much weaker, just like Correa and the humanoid giant rat who were beating, biting, and slashing each other until they were exhausted, giving Lucian a precious chance to breathe.
It was strange that Gary's sudden weakness was gone, and the power was disappearing more and more, but Lucian had learned the valuable lesson before, and did not go to be stunned, dazed, surprised, or puzzled, and the spread of his spirit concentrated and touched towards the Holy Emblem of Truth.
As soon as he came into contact, Lucian's spirit was shocked, as if he had entered a sea of holy light, and the strange patterns composed of lines, circles, triangles, squares, and crosses appeared in Lucian's senses in countless ways, as if carrying a deep mystery.
Feeling it carefully, Lucian found that the cross exuded the smell of Benjamin, an indescribable smell.
Lucian touched the cross curiously, and it suddenly became violent, as if it had been violated, and one of the strange patterns around it suddenly lit up, the brilliance condensed, majestic and terrifying.
Lucian, who was startled, quickly retracted his psychic sense, but it was still a little slower, and a white pillar of light shot out from the holy emblem, grazing the edge of Lucian's spirit, making Lucian nauseous and sick, and his headache seemed to be about to crack, and two cool, fishy, rusty liquids suddenly flowed out of his nostrils.
After the pillar of light shot out, it drew strength from the surroundings, getting bigger and bigger, Gary seemed to be aware of the great danger, and hurriedly dodged to the side, but at such a close distance, no matter how fast he reacted, he couldn't dodge, the white pillar of light completely vaporized his right hand and part of his shoulder, and the wound was charred black, and there was no blood flowing out.
"Can you stimulate magic without spells and rubbing?" This was the first thought that Lucian flashed, and then he hurriedly rolled to the side, afraid that Gary would be hit by this blow and still have combat effectiveness.
This roll, Lucian found that his same strange hands and feet were sore and weak, and he had no strength, and then looked at Gary as he rolled.
"This is?!" Lucian was surprised, because the scene he saw was completely beyond his expectations.
Gary was lying on the ground, his eyes half-open, almost dying, but his distorted face and the red light from his eyes disappeared.
And around, the puddles of monsterous red blood left behind by those red-eyed rats after being killed had evaporated into a faint red mist at some point, permeating the entire secret room and nearby sewers.
In the secret room, the strange, humanoid plant stretched its branches and leaves in the light red blood mist, looking very comfortable.
The battle on the other side has undergone unimaginable changes, and it is not a giant mouse that fights with Correa to the death, but Howsen, the taciturn Howsen.
Their knightly swords were stuck in each other's bodies.
