Crazy black rats are probably the source of the plague that is full of Black Death germs.
Just one bite from these things can make ordinary people infected with the deadly Black Death. And if they are overwhelmed by rats like this, it is not a question of whether they can catch the disease at all. All the skin, flesh and internal organs of the human body will be starved.
The mice gnawed them all away in an instant!
Indeed, Fernandez knew how powerful the [Legion---The Winged Angel] was, and all sneak attack methods were ineffective against Arthur. So he did not intend to make a sneak attack at all, but used the human sea (rat sea) tactic to deal with Arthur! Yes!
This huge number of "Rat Legion", no matter how powerful Arthur's [Legion] is, they will be outnumbered! After all, [The Winged Angel] is just a [Legion] composed of four Winged Knight Golems. In terms of number,
Still lacking something!
The moment he saw the army of rats pouring out, Arthur had already acted decisively. Because he knew the seriousness of the situation, acting half a second too late might cost him his life! He quickly walked around the golems and used [Alchemy]
Magic Gloves] lightly touched the sword blades of the knight golems, and instantly enchanted the golems with [Deep Cold]. While retreating, he also fired several crystallized guns with [Deep Cold] at them.
He was smashed into the army of rats.
First, the crystal gun hit the rats and exploded into hundreds of fragments. The crystal fragments, like ice shards, touched everything around them and froze them, probably causing hundreds of rats to lose their ability to move.
Next, the golems attacked continuously, using their swords enchanted with [Deep Cold] to draw freezing waves one after another in mid-air. The pure freezing air blasted forward collided with the army of rats, knocking out the leader.
The mice were frozen into ice blocks, hindering their progress!
At the same time, Arthur had retreated to the big tree behind him, ran around the tree, used his alchemy gloves to touch the trunk of the tree close to the ground, and then climbed up to the top of the tree like lightning.
The four people couldn't hold it even with their arms around each other. The thick tree must be some kind of paulownia tree. It is very huge and strong. Even if its trunk close to the ground begins to freeze and becomes extremely smooth, it does not affect its stability at all!
At the same time that Arthur climbed onto the branch, the rat army had already arrived under the tree. If it had been a second later, Arthur would have been completely swallowed up! The knight golems on the ground were not so lucky.
They were completely buried under the impact, as if they had sunk to the bottom of the black swamp!
However, because the height of ten feet above the ground of the big tree was completely frozen and became extremely slippery, the mice tried to climb the tree but failed repeatedly. They could only stare at Arthur who was hiding safely on the top of the tree and fired the crystal gun at them.
The crystal guns fired by Se became enchanted with thunder and lightning. They hit the rats on the ground and exploded. The crystal fragments with strong electric current electrocuted the rats in pieces over a large area, scorching them, but barely.
The land strongly maintains the appearance of no forest fires!
Arthur was safe for the time being, and the army of rats could not get up the tree. But no matter how Arthur fought back, the army of rats below was still black and covered the entire ground. In this way, Arthur could not get down...
..Is this the only way we can continue to remain in a stalemate?
No. What's next is the bigger trouble. A dark cloud appears in the building, that's locusts!
Fernandez can not only control a huge number of rats, but he can also control locusts! This kind of insect has been deeply feared and loathed by farmers in any era and country, because once a locust plague occurs, the overwhelming insects will sweep the fields like a raging cloud.
Eat it all!
It stands to reason that even if a large number of locusts attack, they will only eat plants and not humans. Arthur is wondering whether Fernandez can change the nature of these bugs and make them aggressive. However,
He instantly understood that was not the case at all. What Fernandez wanted to do was actually extremely simple: use locusts to completely destroy the tree where Arthur was standing, and Arthur would fall down and become food for the crazy rats below!
What a wily guy! The other party probably calculated from the beginning that Arthur would hide in the trees, so he prepared these locusts? There was also a low digging sound on the ground, and Arthur knew that the rats on the ground were not idle either.
They must be digging up the soil and chewing the roots, intending to uproot the big tree! No matter what you do, it will be a dead end. Arthur must act quickly to escape from this dangerous situation.
He used the ring to take back [Legion---Piece-Winged Angel], and once again summoned the two knight demons of [Patch-Winged Angel] to his side, letting them grab his two arms and start flying. Of course, it was not real flying.
, can only be regarded as gliding, but it is enough for Arthur to slide from the top of the tree where he is currently to the top of another tree. His purpose is very clear. From the tree where he landed, he can see the opposite side.
River, as long as you jump into the river, Arthur will be helpless whether it is a swarm of rats or a swarm of locusts!
Landing! Jump again! Arthur jumps from one treetop to another, and it is estimated that he will reach the top of the river in the next jump! The two golems of [Skin-Winged Angel] each stretch out their wings on only one side, or do they?
Able to glide quite far! Only then did Arthur discover that these mithril golems were much lighter than he thought. Perhaps the "mithril" used to make the golems was originally some kind of light metal that was hard and malleable.
But there are also huge dark clouds approaching behind Arthur. The locusts in the sky have no intention of letting go of the King of Knights easily. They are about to catch up with Arthur! Dozens of locusts landed on the wings of the two knight golems of [Fragmented Winged Angel]
, obviously slowing down the gliding speed of the golems. If more locusts approach, [Split-Winged Angel] may crash!
There was no time to hesitate. Although the distance was a bit far, we could only do our best! Arthur controlled the two winged knight golems and threw him out, and his body fell towards the river at an extremely high speed!
The depth of the river is unknown. If you fall into the river like this, you are likely to hit the rocks at the bottom of the river and break your leg. In this harsh environment, breaking your leg is equivalent to being pronounced dead.
"Haha!" Arthur then backhanded his palm and used his alchemy gloves to hit the river before landing!
The working principle of the Alchemy Glove is still a mystery so far, but since it can create a crystallization gun almost out of nothing, and rely on its alchemy to extract gases in the air and generate reverse shock waves, it is naturally not difficult. Practice has also proved that
Arthur's impromptu idea was correct. The Alchemy Gloves indeed produced a shock wave powerful enough to make Arthur's arms numb, but it also offset the force before landing! He even slightly flew back a short distance.
Just as he fell into the water, with a thud, his vision had been replaced by the haze of the river!
The rats and locusts could no longer catch up, but Arthur knew that it was not the time to relax yet, as there might be something ambushing him in the water. His hunch was right, he could already see the animals gathering towards him in the water.
The black shadow that came here is a piranha! Those terrifying fish did not belong to this place originally. I don’t know which country Fernandez brought this animal to the river from, but now is not the time to study such things.
, if Arthur doesn’t get out of the water and find a platform to hide, he will be chewed into bones by thousands of piranhas in half a second!
He glanced at the shore, but it wasn't much better. There were rats on both sides waiting for an opportunity, which meant that he would be bitten by piranhas in the water, and he would still be bitten by rats when he came ashore.
Both sides are dead ends!
Being general?
No! There is a way to save him! Because Arthur can do things that mortals cannot!
The King of Knights jumped out of the water with all his strength. The moment he came out of the water, he used his alchemical arm to launch another shock wave, pushing himself up to completely out of the water! The surrounding piranhas were blown away!
As soon as he left the water, he immediately drove the crystallized gun with the [Deep Cold] enchantment into the water. It instantly turned into a floating platform that could be stood on, and Arthur also landed steadily on the ice floe on the surface of the water!
He almost slipped! But he grabbed the edge of the ice floe and did not slide off the ice floe. The piranhas on both sides of the ice floe emerged from the water crazily, biting Arthur's hands and feet that were exposed from the edge of the ice floe.
mouth, but they failed to succeed! Arthur, who had trained his body to perfection and had excellent balance throughout his body, carefully knelt half-kneeling on the ice floe, guarding against enemies coming from any angle, and allowed himself to be
Wash away by running water!
Whether it was the attack of rats, the infestation of locusts, or the pursuit of piranhas, everything was as deadly and fast as a storm. If Arthur hadn't been quick to react and be agile, he would have long been the prey of rats or piranhas.
It’s lunch.
However, if this continues, he will just return to the beach. Arthur is still helpless with Fernandez hiding on the island. He even goes deep into the [Inn] and meets the person who planned all this behind the scenes.
He recycled [Legion---Winged Angel] into the ring, and at the same time lamented that what he lacked most was his own "army". [Legion] was not enough, what he needed was "army". Just four knights and demons
For example, no matter how high the combat effectiveness is, there is still no way to fight against the opponent's animal army numbering in the tens of thousands.
There was really no way. If he didn't make up his mind, he would die from the enemy's attack. Because Fernandez had much more power than him! The King of Knights immediately took out the book and opened "Abyssal Grimoire: The Word of Vision" (Abyssal)
Code: Words). The great wisdom in this book is not something that ordinary people can possess. If you want to possess it, you must pay an equally huge [price] in exchange, and Mobius Maiyu, Hour of the Abyss,
It seems that he has been waiting for Arthur to make a deal with him.
In the blink of an eye, Arthur's consciousness has arrived at the familiar and disgusting [Abyss Library], the world belonging to the Abyss Demon Lord.
"You are here, King Arthur." Sure enough, the devil is already waiting for Arthur in the library. It's still that slow and anxious tone, and it's still that low voice that seems to come from the bottom of the swamp. Every tone makes people...
Extremely unhappy.
"I need------"
"Take it." As if he already knew what Arthur wanted, before Arthur could ask for it, the devil said straightforwardly.
"Wait, what? I haven't asked what the price is yet?"
"You have already paid the price." Mobius replied: "It is all your memories in the past three years." (To be continued)
