◈ 141. [STAGE 5]
Just before Alpha&Beta.
Shortly after the regular vampires jumped into the castle walls.
Someone blocked the way for Alpha and Beta to follow slowly.
Chuck-
《Hmm?》
Alpha sneered as he scanned the opponent blocking his path.
“Anyway, this is a bit too much.”
“… .”
《I Alpha, the first descendant of the great No Life King… … Does it mean that only one knight can stop it?”
Evangeline stood in front of Alpha.
Clap!
Wearing thick armor that didn’t suit her small body, Evangeline fixed her shield with her signature sullen expression.
Alpha clicked her tongue.
“That’s why you put up such a young bloody lump. Aren’t there any characters on your side?”
“Do vampires fight with their tongues, not their bodies?”
Evangeline grinned as she straightened her posture after spinning the huge cavalry spear.
“Stop flirting and attack me quickly. I’ll make it flat like the toast you baked.”
“Looks like you have a lot of talent, but… .]
Charleuk-
Behind the mocking Alpha’s back, a red magic circle unfolded in the form of a flower bud.
《It looks like you haven’t mastered the ability to understand the opponent’s capabilities yet.》 In the
next moment, the magic circles that had been growing like flower buds bloomed all at once.
Pipipiping-!
Blood-red mana flashed from the countless magic circles that opened their mouths, and hundreds of blood bullets were fired.
Alpha was confident.
With the power of the magic he had unleashed, he could rip even a knight in thick armor into pieces.
however.
Tadada dat-!
《… ?!”
It’s fast.
Evangeline flew over the castle wall at a speed that was unbelievable that she was wearing such heavy armor.
Quagmire!
Fierce blood bullets scattered and exploded right behind the girl knight’s heel.
However, Evangeline ran zigzag without blinking and avoided those attacks by a margin.
《What is this-》
Evangeline arrived in an instant right in front of the frightened Alpha.
“You’ve lived quite a long time… … .”
A vicious smile typical of a teenager hangs on the corner of the girl’s mouth.
“You don’t seem to know how to grasp the opponent’s capabilities!”
Tuhak-!
The silver-coated cavalry spear pierced the front, tearing through the air.
However, right before the tip of the spear touched, Alpha spread a blood magic barrier in front of her.
While the shield was breaking and buying time, Alpha managed to roll her body to the side and avoid it.
《Kuh… ! Ugly!”
Alpha trembled as she rolled on the floor.
Evangeline licked her lips in regret and brushed off the tip of the spear.
“Sheesh, it’s nice that the armor is strong, but the weapon swing is slow… .”
Evangeline’s Armor Golem Armor is one-of-a-kind equipment that has excellent physical and magical defense, but receives penalties on attack speed and movement speed.
However, Evangeline’s possessed attribute [Unstoppable] ignores the decrease in movement speed.
Like a flying squirrel, it maintained its fast movement speed.
However, the decrease in attack speed was unavoidable, so the speed of the cavalry spear was noticeably lower than usual.
Alpha was able to notice this without difficulty. Contrary to her appearance, this girl knight is very agile.
‘Then, reduce the power of blood magic and increase the firing rate!’
Behind Alpha’s back, a large number of blood magic circles spread out again.
Pipipiping-!
Hundreds of blood bullets were fired again. This time, instead of reducing the power of each one, the speed was significantly increased.
But
beating-!
This time, Evangeline put her shield forward and came forward honestly.
“what… ?]
The blood bullets poured down like heavy rain on the shield exploded like fireworks.
Breaking through the thick fog of blood created by the exploding blood bullets, Evangeline sprinted forward like a chariot.
From behind the shield, Evangeline grinned.
“If you lower the power, it’s enough to block it!”
1st damage reduction through shield.
Offset secondary damage with Golem Armor’s enormous magic defense.
Even so, incoming damage is absorbed with skill 1 [Damage Save]!
Because Alpha lowered the individual damage of blood bullets, when the damage was reduced and offset with shields and armor, it became a situation where hundreds of bullets could be received comfortably.
“It was good to trick your head, but mosquito inspiration!”
It rushes right in front of Alpha again.
The tip of Evangeline’s spear, sticking out her tongue, began to glow and emit light.
“That’s the wrong answer~!”
Tuhak-!
After receiving hundreds of blood bullets, the stored damage was fired back at Alpha through Evangeline’s 2 skill, [Damage Payback].
***
The opposite wall.
“… .”
《… .]
Whiiying-
Lucas and Beta stood facing each other in the midst of the chilly wind, silently glaring at each other.
Lucas lowered the longsword he was holding with both hands, and Beta also lowered the ax he was holding with both hands.
The knight and the monster stopped at a distance of about ten steps. They are quietly reading each other’s momentum.
“… .”
《… .》
There are no gaps.
The poses of humans and vampires who have trained their bodies to the limit are close to perfect.
The one who hits first is at a disadvantage- so the two of them didn’t move continuously.
《… It was Beta
who couldn’t stand it and changed her posture first.
More than anything, what Beta couldn’t stand was Lucas’ cold and lofty statue-like face.
to the lower human subjects.
It’s like holding on to your posture in front of you as if you were a warrior equal to yourself.
I want to trample on that well-groomed face even for a second sooner… Beta thought to herself.
And a skilled unmanned person moves his body at the same time as he thinks.
Tuhak-!
Beta’s thigh muscles swelled like balloons, and at the same time, Beta’s body, which had hit the ground, rushed forward like a beam of light.
The interval of ten steps was shortened to one step the next moment.
Key Yiing-!
A gust of wind entwined the ax that caused tinnitus.
The muscles in Beta’s arms that were holding the ax swelled beyond the maid’s uniform.
As it is, the stone power contained in the axe- honestly strikes down.
Quagmire!
The ax that fell on the wall shattered the outer walls of the wall.
Hard bricks were crushed with sand, steel plates splintered, and steel bars bent like candy.
It was as powerful as if it had been hit by a siege weapon.
However, the fact that the ax hit the wall meant that the knight escaped.
《… !]
The vampire’s red eyes swiveled to the side as he looked at the empty spot his ax had hit.
“… .”
Lucas was still standing there, expressionless.
Just one step away from the point of attack. While avoiding Beta’s attack by moving just one step.
And he was still staring down at Beta with an expressionless face.
It was a contemptuous gaze, as if looking at an insect.
《Kreuk.》
Beta’s brow furrowed.
It’s annoying.
The insect side must be this human knight. Conversely, I want to dig out and rip those blue eyes that seem to be looking down on me.
Keying-!
So he swung the ax horizontally toward the knight’s face.
It was a super-speed horizontal slash that came from overwhelming muscle strength without any preliminary movements.
but it dodges
Lucas evaded Beta’s ax by moving his body like a feather.
Beta whipped out more than five attacks in an instant, but Lucas managed to evade them all with minimal movement.
and.
Chaeeng-!
For the first time, he brought his sword to Beta’s blow.
Accurately striking the side of the axe with the sword deflected the axe.
Lucas’s feet were immobilized, and Beta’s ax with its twisted trajectory lodged next to Lucas’s feet.
《… !”
“Slow. More than your king.”
Lucas muttered emotionlessly to Beta, who widened her eyes.
“This level of training is not enough. I want to ask you to go faster.”
Baring her fangs, Beta let out a white breath. Staring at the enemy commander coldly, Lucas narrowed his eyes.
“Ah, can this be the end of the base?”
The castle in the knight’s hand began to form a halo of light unique to skill use on the longsword. It was skill 1 [Strike of Will].
In the meantime, the number of monsters he has cut with this skill has already exceeded one hundred.
Since it is a stacking skill that becomes stronger by the number of monsters killed, the power of the 100 stack [Strike of Will] is… … .
“Then die.”
Don’t get pushed by the monster.
Quguaguaguagwang-!
Lucas’ sword slashed down from above, and the bricks on the wall all at once shot up into the sky.
***
Evangeline raised her eyes.
The tip of the spear I raised stopped in the air.
“uh?”
When she came to her senses, Evangeline’s whole body didn’t even move as if it was tied tightly in a spider’s web. Just like the posture of opening the window.
“What is this? what?”
Evangeline hurriedly raised her eyes and looked around to see a thick bloody mist.
It was a blood mist that spread around as the blood bullets that were blocked exploded.
This is what entangled Evangeline’s whole body like a spider’s web.
《A battle is the law to start with paving stones. Little human.”
Alpha sneered at Evangeline, who was unable to move, step by step. The vampire’s long fangs flashed.
“Did you think I scattered blood bullets for no reason? It’s also naive.”
“Lee Ii Ik… ! Let go of this!”
《I don’t really like sucking the blood of children, but… … .》
Alpha’s hand climbed onto Evangeline’s neck armor. The fingertips glowed red, ready to dismantle the armor.
《It’s quite fun to take the lives of talented people.》
“… !”
Tung-!
The direct hit of the blood magic knocked off the neck armor in an instant. Evangeline’s thin, white neck was clearly visible through the armor.
“Don’t eat well. Your life.”
After finishing her mouth, Alpha thrust her fangs into Evangeline’s throat.
Pooh!
Blood spattered.
***
Immediately after lowering the sword, Lucas shook his shoulders.
In the thick smoke caused by his own sword strike… … The sword does not budge.
‘what?’
After a while, the smoke cleared and Lucas could see why.
caught it
Beta had grabbed Lucas’ sword with her left hand.
No, it’s hard to say exactly what it was.
Lucas’s sword split Beta’s left hand, passing through the elbow and digging into the inside of the forearm.
but play
Lucas’s longsword is the [Immortal Castle Silver Longsword] that has been anointed with the devil’s mistletoe.
The healing reduction rate applied to this weapon, which is a natural enemy of vampires, is a whopping 75%.
However, Beta’s powerful regenerative power, which was added to her innate resilience and physical strength, was recovering her amputated arm with only the remaining 25%.
so… Caught.
Between the thick muscles of Beta’s inner forearms. Lucas’s longsword was bound.
sigh.
Beta raised the corners of her mouth and smiled like a monster.
And he made a small mouth shape. Lucas could read the lips clearly.
this. Zen. pond. blood. under. I guess yes.
Two-Ha-Ah-!
The ax in Beta’s right hand cut through Lucas’ chest.
