"Well..." Arthur hummed, taking a deep breath and forcing himself to calm down.
Of course, the person in front of him couldn't be Igraine. His mother Igraine died in the original world nine hundred years ago, and she died when Arthur was a child. How could a non-existent person appear?
In this different world nine hundred years later.
In other words, this person just looks like Igraine.
Merlin also said before that in this different world, Arthur will see many familiar faces to him. But no matter how familiar they are, these people are not the people in his original world nine hundred years ago. They don't even actually exist.
They must look the same as the people in the original world, but when Arthur traveled through time and arrived in this different world, the "self-correction effect of the world" was taking effect, making what Arthur saw and heard become the same as him.
Familiar people and things are just similar.
Arthur has seen the witch Bayoletta who looks like Morgoth before, and he has also seen Admiral Penzance who looks like the celestial knight Grand Duke Hall. So the witch he sees now looks like
Like his mother Igraine...it's not a big deal.
So he was silently reminding himself that the witch in front of him was just a stranger, and she was probably a very vicious witch. Don't show mercy to her just because she looked like Igraine.
"Are you...waiting for me?" Regardless of whether he was wavering or not, since the other party spoke to Arthur first, before starting to fight, Arthur still replied out of politeness.
"Yes, I have been waiting for you." The witch replied, her slightly pale face expressionless: "You think you came here by chance, but it was not. It was me who summoned you, and you arrived.
Here."
Arthur didn't answer, just frowned. This witch was a bit too arrogant.
However, the witch's next words shocked him: "She was summoned by him. Before completing the task she was supposed to complete, she was bound to this world and could not escape temporarily. And she summoned you to this world."
It was my idea to come, even though I was not the one who implemented it."
"Uh!" Arthur was speechless for a moment, his eyes widened and unable to speak.
"Why are you shocked? Weren't you mentally prepared from the beginning? It's not an accident that you came here, everything is inevitable." The witch said.
"Then what exactly do you want me to do?" The King of Knights clenched his sword and replied. However, he did not speak clearly. He just said vaguely: "I just want to bring my lover back. The things of this world are yours."
I don’t want to interfere at all, and there is no need to interfere. Can’t you people just stay out of our business?”
"No. That's not how things work." The witch closed her eyes and sighed: "Listen up, ancient king. [The world] is interconnected. Our world is currently facing an irresistible catastrophe of destruction.
, and the destruction of this world will affect your world. So she came. So you came too. Saving our world means saving your world. After doing all this, you and she can go back safely. Otherwise
, destruction will not only catch up with her, but also the world you live in. Whether you pursue redemption or destruction depends entirely on your own will."
Arthur frowned again.
"Before that, accept the test." The witch's figure suddenly became translucent, and after the transformation, she teleported to a distance: "My name is [Full Moon Witch Beatrice], and I perform the duty of judgment here. Ancient times
My late king, is your arrival a blessing to this world, or a disaster? Are you the last restraint before the world is destroyed, or are you the black hand pushing it into the abyss of despair? Prove yourself!"
Then, two huge figures fell from the ceiling of the black hall. Their pale and rough skin, bodies as hard as stone, devil-like horns, ferocious faces, and radiating fire like blazing flames
The red eyes prove that they are a special kind of creature - gargoyle.
At that moment, Arthur finally understood. This underground cave, as well as the many traps they had walked through before, were not set up by the Full Moon Witch for self-protection. Their existence was to test Asia from the beginning.
Ser's fighting ability and intelligence.
She knew the details about him, although she didn't tell them.
"Interesting." Arthur unsheathed his sword. This time he actually pulled out the lightsaber part of the Seraph Holy Sword from the edgeless sword body (scabbard). The milky white holy light immediately filled the entire hall.
.
"Is it enough to defeat these two guys? Then you will confess everything to me?" Arthur pointed his sword at the witch: "Did you really spread the Black Death? Who are you and why are you here?"
Are you testing me here? What is your purpose? I still have dozens or hundreds of questions to ask you, so don’t run away!"
The witch didn't reply, but just watched from a distance. The two ferocious gargoyles she controlled were already roaring and rushing towards Arthur and Bedivere.
No, that's not right. He just rushed towards Arthur. The King of Knights turned around and took a look, and found that Bedivere had been fixed by some illusion-like thing. He was already standing ten yards behind Arthur, unable to move.
.
Only Arthur can participate in this battle, does that mean?
Whatever.
The gargoyles rushed over at the same time, and their fists as big as soup pots hit the blond boy's head mercilessly, showing no intention of killing Arthur.
Is this a test? It means that if Arthur dies during the test, that's all he is. Is that what he means?
The King of Knights dodged the onslaught of the gargoyles with a sideways step and tried to find a chance to counterattack. However, the gargoyles seemed huge and bulky, but their movements were unexpectedly agile. They punched the air and followed Ya in an instant.
In the direction of Se's dodge, he threw another punch with his backhand. Moreover, although the two gargoyles moved separately, they seemed to be of the same mind. Not only did the trajectories of their backhand fists not intersect with each other, but they turned into an overwhelming pincer attack.
, leaving Arthur nowhere to escape!
Awesome! Arthur couldn't find a chance to counterattack, so he could only take another step back to put some distance between himself and the ferocious enemy! He thought he could easily distance himself with his own footwork, and perfectly dodge the gargoyles.
Attack fiercely, but in fact the attack speed of the gargoyle was a little faster than he expected, and the body of the young man he controlled moved a little slower than he expected. As a result, the fierce gargoyle fist almost
It hit him right in the face, just slightly grazing his chest!
Arthur felt a pain in his chest, which was a scratch like a meat slicer. The gargoyle's fist directly tore the clothes on the blond boy's chest, leaving an astonishing hole. He
There was not much damage to the chest, just some bruises. Despite this, the blow just now was really dangerous!
"Hmm------" Arthur raised the scabbard of the Seraph Holy Sword and activated [Spell Breaker]. The white holy light instantly flooded everything around him. Logically speaking, gargoyles should be similar to golems
A kind of thing that is controlled by magic. Since it is a puppet controlled by magic, [Spell Breaker] can completely stop them and turn them back into lifeless stones with one blow.
But------
Wow!! The two gargoyles are still waving their fists to attack, and the [Spell Breaker] has no effect at all! It seems that these guys are not golems, they have autonomous consciousness?!
Arthur didn't know much about the things in this other world nine hundred years later. It should be said that he knew very little, so he suffered the disadvantage of being uneducated. He didn't even know that the gargoyles in this other world had independent consciousness.
Creature. In fact, the gargoyle here is a kind of demon that looks very similar to a stone statue. Its whole body is highly hardened and protected by a stony shell. Its defense and destructive power are extremely amazing. But this creature's own
The vital signs will change over time. If it is inactive during the day, it will stand still like a stone statue. At night, when the vital signs become active, it will be unusually violent and agile, hence the name gargoyle.
I don’t know where the witch got and tamed this kind of high-level demons and asked the gargoyles to work for her. But she can even use the high-level demons. It’s easy to imagine how high this witch’s status and ability are.
Strong!
No. Now is not the time to care about this matter. Let’s deal with the threat in front of him first! Arthur came back to his senses and concentrated on dealing with the two gargoyles. The two rough and fast demons attacked again, without giving any chance.
The King of Knights has a chance to breathe. Moreover, they attack Arthur from left to right like this. Arthur has a hard time just dodging the attacks, and he really can't find a chance to counterattack!
What should I do? ------If you are not capable enough, you can only take advantage of the venue. However, there is nothing to take advantage of in this hall, except for the four pillars that support the entire hall.
There is a circle of light blue light around the hall, which is probably the barrier released by the witch. Arthur and the two gargoyles are inside the barrier, and the witch and Bedivere are outside the barrier. It is estimated that this battle
Arthur can't get out of here until it's over.
In other words, the only thing that can be used is the four pillars. Although I can't think of any reliable plan yet, if I don't try to do something, this battle can only continue to reach a stalemate, and Arthur's body is like a boy.
You only have limited physical strength. If you keep dodging, sooner or later you will run out of energy and gasp, and then be smashed into a pulp by the gargoyle's punch! If you don't act at this time, it will be too late by the time you have to act!
So Arthur leaned down to avoid the gargoyle's fist and immediately ran towards the pillar. The gargoyles naturally caught up with him, and because they were far away from Arthur, they saw that they couldn't run as fast as the blond boy.
Make a collision posture, raise their powerful arms, and rush towards them like bulls!
They are coming very fiercely. Even if they are lightly brushed by such a collision, they will be seriously injured. Of course, Arthur does not dare to neglect! But just dodging may not be enough. With Arthur's feet, it is difficult to completely avoid the opponent's collision, so -
-----
Arthur dodged sideways and hid behind the pillar! (To be continued)
