Facing this weird and terrifying scene, Lucien really felt like his hands and feet were trembling and his head was spinning. His thoughts on what should be done and what shouldn't be done were all confused. On the surface, Lucien was petrified with fear.
There, there was no reaction at all.
"Holy Emblem, wait, I still have the Holy Emblem of Truth!"
The panicked Lucien thought of his biggest support, and subconsciously concentrated on reciting a mantra to activate the divine magic "Holy Light Shield". No matter what, protecting himself was the most important thing.
"Ha!" At this time, a thunderous roar sounded in Lucien's ears, causing Lucien's back to tense up, his hair to stand on end, and his panicked and confused thoughts to come to a sudden halt.
"Lighting Technique." Gary's calm voice reached Lucien's ears. The person who roared just now, waking up Lucien, Correa, and Haosen from their confusion and shock, was Gary.
Gary's calm and composed attitude infected Lucien, and he quickly recovered his basic reactions. Without thinking much, he rubbed the holy symbol and whispered a strange syllable: "Gaya."
A ball of white light appeared in front of Lucien and others, dispelling the deep darkness.
Then, Lucien saw a group of black rats. They were normal-sized, but their eyes were red. They were gathered on the floor, walls, and strange human-shaped plants in a secret room. They were so densely packed that Lucien couldn't help but feel his scalp tightening.
As soon as the white light appeared, these rats seemed to have seen their natural enemies, squeaking and swarming towards Lucien, Gary and others.
As the red-eyed mice dispersed, the appearance of the secret room was revealed to Lucien and others. A desk was in the corner, with three books shining with a strange light, and a flat, wide and strange table in the corner.
In the center, there are many strange patterns painted on it, some are red, some are blue, and some are green, which are inexplicably similar to the patterns around the "Holy Emblem of Truth" cross. On these patterns, there are small stoves and small
Pots, glass bottles, etc.
Neither Lucien nor Gary had time to observe carefully, because those crazy rats had already swarmed in front of them with their stench and strangeness.
The silent Hausen and the sharp Correa, after being awakened by Gary's roar, skillfully held the sword and shield, leaned on Gary on the left and right, and formed a simple battle formation.
Facing rats instead of other weird monsters, Lucien, who was infected by Gary's calmness, became more and more relaxed. However, there were too many rats and they were too weird, which still made Lucien uncontrollably palpable.
The red-eyed mouse in the lead jumped up and rushed towards Lucien, opening its mouth, revealing two long and pointed teeth.
Lucien, who was holding the Sword of Glory with one hand, hurriedly slashed at the red-eyed mouse with the light-condensed sword blade.
The lightsaber summoned by divine magic was far sharper than an ordinary knight's sword. However, Lucien hurriedly swung the sword, but misjudged the speed and weirdness of the red-eyed mouse's jump. The lightsaber could only move from
Slide by it.
Where the red-eyed mouse rubbed against the lightsaber, the black fur quickly charred and spread into the flesh. But at this time, the red-eyed mouse had already pounced in front of Lucien. The red pupils shining with indifferent light were extremely clear, and the rotten stench in its mouth was vaguely discernible.
smell.
The sword was swung in the air, and the red-eyed mouse was right in front of him. Lucien immediately panicked. He wanted to swing his sword back and strike back, but he also wanted to directly stretch out his left hand to block. In the conflict, he almost dropped the glorious sword to the ground.
Seeing that the red-eyed mouse was about to bite him in the chest, Lucien was at a loss as to what to do.
Suddenly, a long sword flashing with cold light stretched out from the side and struck the red-eyed mouse's neck, cutting it into two pieces.
"Don't panic. If you don't have time to resist, just avoid the vital points. There are magic healing powers." Gary's deep voice came.
Correa's sharp voice sounded at the same time: "Get behind us and lean against us. Are you a rookie standing in front alone looking for death?"
Under such a situation, no matter what negative impression Gary, Correa, Howson and others have on Lucien, they all understand that holding the Holy Emblem, he is a combat power that cannot be underestimated. Even when other changes occur,
It is the key to reversing the situation. No one knows what monsters or magic traps will come after the red-eyed mouse.
After escaping the bite of the red-eyed rat, Lucien, who became flustered again, quietly breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down again. Compared with a high-level knight attendant like Gary who had been trained and even had rich combat experience, he was in a more dangerous situation.
When faced with sudden changes, they all appear too immature, too green, and too at a loss. Not everyone is born with a fighting talent, or is a gifted person who can remain calm in the face of danger.
In my first real battle in my life, I was extremely lucky to have a veteran like Gary beside me to guide and help me. It was a valuable experience for me when facing battles and dangers in the future.
Lucien didn't panic this time. While slashing his lightsaber forward, he slowly moved backwards and retreated to Gary and others.
There were not just one or two red-eyed mice that attacked, but dozens of them, followed by a steady stream of mice.
The lightsaber was bright and sharp, and there was still a faint light and shadow left behind when the sword passed by. The sword struck by Lucien was based on Gary's instructions, focusing on defense, giving full play to the characteristics of the glorious sword, and avoiding.
Lucien never learned any flaw in swordsmanship.
The light brought by this sword seemed to form a pale white barrier in front of Lucien. The rats that rushed towards him directly hit the lightsaber and were divided into pieces as effortlessly as soil.
The two halves, the internal organs and the severed skin were charred black, and fell heavily to the ground without any blood flowing out.
As for those who were not hit by the lightsaber, when passing through the remaining light and shadow, the fur on their bodies began to dry out, become scorched, and their speed slowed down. They either fell in front of Lucien, or were swung by Gary and Correa on both sides.
Hit with the sword.
"Hey, boy, you did a good job. This sword killed more than ten monster rats." Correa whistled, and I don't know whether he was praising or sarcastically.
Lucien himself was not proud. He was able to kill so many red-eyed mice with one sword only because of the power of the Sword of Glory and Gary's guidance. At this time: "I feel that the power of the Sword of Glory is starting to drain away."
After killing the red-eyed mouse this time, Lucien felt that he had become somewhat accustomed to this kind of scene.
Gary cooperated with the slashing of Lucien's Sword of Glory and kept slashing out, stabbing out the long sword to repel the rats that slipped through the net: "Don't be nervous, the remaining power is enough to kill these monsters."
After a group of them were killed and retreated, the red-eyed rats swooped over again. This time, the area was so dark that there seemed to be hundreds of them.
Lucien became more and more skilled in slashing. Although he was a little scared and worried that he would not be able to completely block the hundreds of rats, he still fully believed in Gary and Correa and believed that they could help him block the rats on both sides.
The Sword of Glory slashed out diagonally from top to bottom, drawing a beautiful light and shadow in the air. With a crackle, an unknown number of red-eyed mice bumped into the sword, doubling the pressure on Lucien's hand. As a man who had not passed by
Ordinary people trained as knights could hardly hold the Sword of Glory.
There were too many rats. Even though many half-and-half corpses fell like rain in front of the Sword of Glory, dozens of them still broke through Lucien's blockage and passed through the wall of light and shadow drawn by the Sword of Glory.
"There are so many rats. Unless Gary and Correa can swing five or six swords in one second, they won't be able to intercept them!" Lucien's glorious sword had no time to slash out again, so he could only think worriedly: "Maybe
It is not certain that the high-level knight attendants trained by the church will have some power similar to divine magic."
Just as Lucien was thinking about it, what blocked him from both sides were not two sharp knight's swords, but two round small shields covered with silver-gray metal skin.
The two small shields were swung out fiercely, and dozens of collision sounds merged into one banging sound. The red-eyed rats were directly knocked out and fell to the ground. They twitched and died quickly.
Correa laughed: "A good knight not only has a long sword, but also needs to be good at using a shield."
While Lucien breathed a sigh of relief, he continued to wave the sword of glory to resist the attacks of the red-eyed rats.
The pounces and bites failed many times, and the red-eyed mice seemed to have noticed something was wrong, so some stopped swooping and ran directly from the ground, while others climbed up the wall and prepared to attack from above the four people.
The situation suddenly became precarious.
"Leave the top to me." Haosen, who had always been silent, tall and strong, suddenly said.
Lucien waved his sword of glory, blocking the rats on the ground in mid-air from top to bottom, and asked, "Do you want to use the 'Holy Light Shield'?"
Gary shook his head: "Wait a little longer."
The four people were like a small boat in the stormy sea, swaying among the red-eyed mice falling from the sky, rushing towards them from mid-air, and swarming on the ground, as if they would be overwhelmed at any time.
Suddenly, there was an omission in Haosen's obstruction. A red-eyed mouse landed on Correa's shoulder. Correa's sword and shield were blocking it from the front. He had no time to defend himself and was bitten directly on the neck. He let out a painful groan.
, shook his shoulders, and shook the red-eyed mouse out.
Correa said bitterly: "The wounds are numb. They seem to be poisonous."
"Okay, I'll activate the healing magic." Lucien said while using his free left hand to rub the Holy Emblem.
Gary stopped him and said: "Don't worry, Correa can still hold on. It seems that there is no way to completely stop it. Let's wait for a few more bites before activating the healing magic." There are too many rats, so the healing magic must be used sparingly.
.
Before he finished speaking, he groaned and was bitten between his boots and knee pads by a red-eyed mouse.
After this encounter, Gary, Correa, and Howson all changed some of their fighting styles. Although rats can bite, their teeth are not sharp enough to bite through armor, so they stay in places protected by chainmail, knee pads, etc.
, relaxed a little and tried to guard against other places, and the situation suddenly improved.
Only Lucien, wearing a linen jacket and trousers of the same color, without any protection, was immediately bitten on the ankle by a red-eyed mouse.
A numb and itchy feeling started from his ankles and quickly spread up. Lucien almost couldn't stand still. At the same time, his mouth was dry and he wanted to drink water.
"Your physique is much worse than ours. Use the Holy Light Shield first, and then use the healing magic." Gary judged the situation. At this time, almost half of the red-eyed mice were dead.
It was a matter of his own, so Lucien did not delay, concentrated his energy, and rubbed the Holy Emblem:
"Smen."
A strange and mysterious mantra sounded, and a pale white light shield appeared on Lucien.
Lucien activated a magical operation and couldn't concentrate, so he took a step forward and relied on the Holy Light Shield and the Sword of Glory to block all the red-eyed mice in front of him.
The rats that had escaped the Sword of Glory attacked the Holy Light Shield one after another, but as the light flickered, the Holy Light Shield did not shake at all, giving Gary and Correa the opportunity to kill the rats calmly and knock them away.
After two or three seconds, Lucien regained his energy, rubbed the Holy Emblem again, and recited a difficult-to-pronounce incantation: "Guerti."
A ray of white light shot out from the Holy Emblem Cross and landed on Lucien's feet, and the itching feeling disappeared immediately.
With Lucien blocking the front with the Holy Light Shield, although Correa and Gary occasionally failed to avoid being bitten, the situation has gradually reversed. As there are fewer and fewer red-eyed mice, the danger is
Slowly fade away.
Lucien took the time to activate the Holy Emblem and healed Correa and Gary's injuries.
Not long after, Correa slashed a red-eyed mouse to death with a sword, causing its blood to splatter, and then breathed softly: "Finally, I killed it cleanly."
The ground was already covered with red-eyed mouse corpses, as well as pools of dark red blood.
Lucien looked at this in a daze, unable to believe that he had done this. Gary nodded: "Lucien, you did a good job."
Lucien came back to his senses and was ready to thank Gary.
Gary took a breath and ordered: "Hausen, you and Lucien go into the secret room and take a look."
Lucien had the Holy Light Shield, and Haosen stood behind and was not bitten by rats. At this time, Gary naturally had to play everyone's role.
But there was silence in the back, and Haosen, who had always been silent, did not answer.
Correa looked back strangely, and then, full of shock and panic, he said intermittently: "Hausen, Hausen is gone."
Haosen, who just repelled the red-eyed rat above his head and was calmly guarding behind the three people, disappeared?!
Lucien felt creepy again.
