Chapter 129 Breakthrough (Second Update)
——The third watch is around eleven o'clock, asking for a monthly pass.
………………………………………………………………………………
"When", a high-pitched and crisp metal collision sounded, it was not Todd and the others' weapons blocking Natasha's "Thundering" longsword slashing at Verdi, but Todd gave up the attack and was severely slashed by Wine's two-handed greatsword from top to bottom on his steeled body.
But even if the two-handed greatsword was slashing at his head, Todd only dodged slightly, did not flinch, did not withdraw the countless steel spikes that he had condensed and flew out and the long sword slashed at Natasha, but used his body as a shield to prevent Wynne's two-handed greatsword from blocking it.
The helmet's transparent metal mask was directly split open, and a deep scar appeared on the hard face shining with silvery-white metallic light, splitting Todd's nose and mouth in two, but not blood, but silvery-white metal liquid, which was trying to repair the hideous and terrifying face that made people have nightmares at night.
Relying on the strength of the fifth-level great knight and the strength of steel, Todd blocked Wynn's two-handed greatsword. Although under the impact of the power, his blood-light longsword did not slash Natasha's neck as expected, but also slashed Natasha's back.
The milky white blood dragon armor, which had long been severely shattered, was powerless to block such an attack, and a terrifying wound appeared on Natasha's back, silver-gray blood gushed out, and her spine and internal organs could be vaguely seen.
Natasha bit her lip tightly, not snorting in pain, but with the help of this momentum and damage, she made the "Thunder" long sword she slashed faster and more powerful.
After cutting off Sylvia, the silver-white electric snake surrounded by "Thunder" became more and more dazzling, and with a snap, a thick lightning bolt struck the sky, hitting Verdi hard.
After hitting the opponent, this extraordinary long sword has a certain chance of triggering real lightning.
The broken dark purple armor quickly scorched, and Verdi, who had just recovered from paralysis with the help of Sylvia and the knights who followed him, quickly fell into a desperate situation with erect hair and sluggish limbs.
Looking at the slashing long sword, Verdi's eyes seemed to erupt with endless anger, even in the face of a desperate situation, he did not give up his will and spirit to fight, mobilized a small part of the power he could control, and his right hand broke through the slowness and paralysis, and grabbed the "thunder".
Countless flying lightning erupted, and Verdi's right palm and forearm were directly cut off, but this bought him time, and the transparent shield of truth quickly solidified at his neck, and at the same time, his feet, which had softened a little, also pushed back hard.
The "Shield of Truth" that had not yet fully condensed in Thunder Slash, an illusion that did not appear in the gaps that existed in this world, only a slight stagnation, the Sword of Truth caused the Shield of Truth to split into pieces like a real shield, and then slashed through Verdi's neck that was panning backward.
The neck quickly cracked, and bright red blood gushed out like a fountain.
Although most of his neck was broken and his cervical spine was deeply wounded, it seemed to break at any time, but relying on the strong vitality of the great knight, he did not die immediately, but fell into a coma.
He relied on his knightly will to save his life at a critical moment.
Natasha was about to change the direction of the dragon scale horse and send the half-dead Verdi to hell, but the great knights in the other directions had already rushed to Verdi's side and blocked him after giving up the encirclement.
Simply weighing the situation and how long she could maintain the strength she had been inspired by her serious injuries, Natasha sped past Verdi with a slight regret but not greedily, rushing towards the Melze Black Forest, which was not only about the glory of herself and her family, but also about the lives of the knights who were loyal to her, and she couldn't help but be willful.
Winen and Lucian rushed out of the encirclement with Natasha without encountering any obstacles because those knights were in a hurry to rescue Verdi, and Akasha also seized the opportunity, did not pester the knight anymore, but made the appearance of attacking the unconscious Verdi, and then drove the horse with serious injuries and quickly followed. Only Daniel, who was completely caught in the knights in the previous wave of attacks, was seriously injured and died.
The four dragon-scaled horses were extremely fast, and quickly approached the edge of the Black Forest under the pursuit of Todd and others, when Natasha suddenly turned around and threw the three-meter-long "Slayer" black mounted spear backwards.
With Natasha's full strength, the tip of the "Slayer" spear once again appeared with a black eerie convection line, and only after flying over did a violent roar sound.
Before Todd could see Natasha's movements clearly, he subconsciously rolled from the dragon scale horse to the next wasteland, and the "Slayer" passed by his original location and flew towards another level 4 knight who was chasing after him.
The fourth-level knight did not dodge like Todd, but picked up a golden shield and blocked it in front of him.
The Slayer struck his shield, and silently, an illusory and terrifying crack appeared in the shield, which not only cut the shield, but spread rapidly to his armor and horses.
The black spear pierced through and fell to the ground, and the fourth-level knight and his dragon-scaled horse shattered into countless small pieces like glass.
This is the final outbreak that Natasha has completed with the "Slayer", a transcendent weapon treasured by the Violet family and her own bloodline power.
Todd stood up from the ground and saw Natasha and Lucian disappearing into the Black Forest, and the shocked knights behind.
"Some of the knights stayed behind to guard the Count, and the rest followed me to chase after them." Todd glanced at the unconscious Verdi, gave orders in his place, and then chased him to the Melzer Black Forest with ten knights.
Natasha must be killed, otherwise what awaits everyone is to be stripped of their titles, all their family members will be executed, and they will be controlled by magic and sent to the northern fortress as a death squad, but Todd does not dare to let all the knights follow him to hunt down Natasha, because Verdi's injuries are very serious, and even if there are healing potions, healing bandages and other items, I am afraid it will take a long time to recover.
If all the knights leave and come back to find that the noble and brave Count Verdi has been taken away by a wild wolf that has flowed out of the Black Forest, then the matter will become a complete joke.
…………
Deeper into the Black Forest, the trees became dense, and the tall creature of the dragon scale horse was no longer suitable for riding and Mercedes-Benz, so Lucian and the others turned over and dismounted, preparing to flee on foot.
Natasha did not stand still after jumping off the dragon scale horse, and fell directly to the ground with her legs weak.
Lucian and Wynn hurriedly rushed over and found that Natasha's face was abnormally flushed, she had fallen into a coma, her abdomen was bloody and fleshy, and there were many penetrating wounds that could directly see the dirt behind her.
"It seems that the more serious the injury, the stronger the bloodline power, and the sequelae are not small." Although Lucian was very worried about Natasha's condition, he still managed to calmly and "scientifically" evaluate this bloodline power.
Touching Natasha's forehead and the tip of her nose, she found that her originally cold skin was scorching hot, and there were rough bumps bulging in the greasy and slippery feeling, which was extremely frightening, but fortunately, her breathing was quite stable.
"The injury is not serious enough to threaten life, relying on the strong recovery of the great knight, it will not take long for Natasha to recover most of it, but I don't know how long the sequelae of her bloodline backlash will last." Lucian came to the same conclusion as Wynn.
Wine, who was also injured a lot, looked back outside the Black Forest and motioned for Lucian to pick up Natasha and pick up the "Thunder Sword", while he picked up Akasha, who was also seriously injured and unable to stand still: "Talk while running."
Lucian did not delay, picked up Natasha, and followed Winen to the depths of the Black Forest: "Baron Wine, you are the strongest among us, you should take Her Royal Highness out of the Black Forest and rush back to Aalto, and Sir Akasha and I are definitely not as important as chasing Her Royal Highness in the eyes of Verdi and the others, and there should be no danger in hiding in the Black Forest."
Taking Lucian to turn left and right, Winen replied with a wry smile: "Baron Todd is a fifth-level knight, and I have been able to resist him for so long thanks to the protection of the Lord and the encouragement of the princess, but in fact it is not as intact as you see. And most importantly, Todd will definitely lead people to chase after me, he is very familiar with my characteristics and habits, I don't have the confidence to get rid of his pursuit, so just let me and Akasha lure them away, you take Her Royal Highness to hide in the dark mountains, and when the sun rises, the church will definitely find out and send people to search, and it will be safe then."
"You lead them away?" Lucian was slightly puzzled.
Wynn nodded: "As Lucian you said, I am the strongest among us, Todd and the others must think that Her Royal Highness is protected by me, even if the knights are sent to chase you, they will not be the strongest, and you still have the Thunder Long Sword."
"Okay." Lucian understood that time was running out, and after thinking for a while, he agreed.
Because Lucian was not a knight belonging to Natasha, Wynn had no intention of forcing Lucian, and after seeing him agree, he ordered: "Take off Her Royal Highness's blood dragon armor. The Great Knight can tell the taste of blood, so I need such a prop."
Lucian hurriedly hugged Natasha on his back, and as he ran, he took off her severely damaged blood dragon armor and threw it to Wynn, and then picked her up again.
Akasha, who was seriously injured and weak but still awake, tied the blood dragon armor to his body and said with a calm smile: "Lucian, please do it to you next. If we die in battle, please remember to go to the cemetery to send a bouquet of flowers in the future."
"Lucian, wait to find some special plants to cover up the smell of blood on Her Highness's body." Wynn advised, his eyes full of trust, Natasha's white knight's uniform was almost completely stained with silver ash with her own blood.
Watching Winen and Akasha change direction and lure away from the enemies who were chasing, Lucian had a little hesitation in his heart, if he threw Natasha here and ran away by himself, his danger would be minimized.
However, Lucian thought of Natasha treating him like a true friend, never trying to hurt himself, but often deceiving her and using her, and the trusting expressions and eyes of Wynn and Akasha were still clearly visible just now, so he sighed softly: "Why am I obviously a ruthless magician, but now I look like a bit of a hot-blooded knight."
Lucian no longer hesitated, the bright starlight lit up, and the round shield wrapped itself and Natasha, so that the taste and smell of blood would be blocked a lot.
"Hey, Lucian, you got a lot of good things in the ruins, including magic items and magic items." Natasha's laughter suddenly sounded, and at some point, she had already woken up. Then she said softly, "I only have one friend left."
The sound contains pain, sadness and softness that are rarely seen.
…………
Aalto, deep in the sowers.
Countless rats densely packed like a black tide came out of nowhere, their red eyes cold and ferocious.
