Chapter 5 Awakening to the First Formation (Part 2)
Chapter 5 Awakening to the First Formation (Part 2)
"Huh?" Arthur looked up. Behind the smoke-filled Viking fleet, there was a particularly luxurious ship. The ship was three hundred feet long, and the bottom of the ship was equipped with countless photon reflectors, allowing it to float easily in mid-air.
Medium. Its main gun has a radius of over a hundred feet, and the shells fired by this thing can easily make a huge hole in the castle!
------Countless bullets rained down, and the fleet was consciously protecting the big ship and not letting Arthur's cavalry get close. With such a tight defense, the leader of the Vikings must be on the mother ship!
"Navigator, direction of eleven o'clock, full speed ahead!"
The young man waved his lightsaber and shuttled through the hail of bullets. The light bullets were so dense that it was gradually impossible to dodge, but the cavalry was already close enough!
Arthur jumped out, swinging his body in mid-air, moving lightly through the rain of light bullets, and then landed safely on the deck of the mother ship.
The next second, the cavalry hit the deck, opening a big hole. The explosion and fire dyed the deck red. The fire cleverly blocked the entrance and exit of the deck, preventing the Viking reinforcements from approaching!
Dozens of giant Viking men left on the deck were already waiting for the young man. They all had fierce looks in their eyes, showed their weapons, and wanted to cut the young man into pieces.
Each of these Vikings was several times taller than Arthur, and could crush the boy to pieces with one hand, but the boy didn't take them seriously.
Arthur calmly made a provocative gesture: "Come on, everyone."
As soon as the giant men were provoked, they rushed forward furiously.
"Hey, there's no energy left?" Arthur's lightsaber lost its light. The leading Viking warrior pounced even more wantonly, and the photon ax in his hand struck the young man's head.
But before he could chop the young man, his own head was pierced by the lightsaber in the young man's hand. "Of course I lied to you if there is no energy, idiot." The young man sneered, and caught the ax in the giant man's hand and threw it away with one hand.
He went out and hit another enemy in the chest.
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" The other two giant men attacked from the left and right together, thrusting out their spears. The young man leaned down to hide, and slashed horizontally with his sword, cutting the giant man on the left in half. Then he struck with a vertical sword,
Cut the giant man on the right in half.
Another Viking swooped in, intending to smash Arthur to pieces with the giant hammer in his hand. But before he even hit the ground, he was stabbed to death by a spear kicked out by the boy.
His body flew backwards and hit another Viking, causing them to fall from the spaceship together.
While several other Vikings were distracted trying to avoid the flying giant man, the young man stepped forward and pierced the throat of one with his sword, and then pierced the lower abdomen of another with his sword. Before the other giant man could react, he chopped into pieces.
He lowered his weapon-holding hand, kicked out the opponent's fallen weapon, and smashed the knee of another giant man.
The Viking warrior who was hit in the knee didn't even have time to fall to the ground and scream in pain before his throat was cut by the young man's sword.
In less than a minute, nine Vikings died, were injured, and even after being injured, they could not escape death. In the end, they were all wiped out. The wounds on their bodies emitted burning smoke due to the heat of the lightsaber, and there was smoke everywhere.
Burnt smell.
Arthur picked up a lightsaber on the ground to replace the one in his hand that had run out of energy, and then took a breath.
"It's really amazing." Someone clapped their hands and said in not very standard English.
Arthur asked following the voice: "Are you the boss of the Vikings?"
That Viking can no longer be described as huge. It was a giant like a mountain.
The Viking leader, who was bare-chested and only wore skirt armor, was covered in muscles that swelled with veins. His skin engraved with blue runes made him look rough and terrifying.
What the giant is holding is a huge anchor, which is covered with a large number of photon reflectors. Only such a huge monster can hold such a terrifying weapon, and only such a terrifying weapon can be in the hands of such a monster.
This makes it extremely powerful. Even a standard battleship can be easily cut open by this photon anchor... No, [cut in half].
Compared with this giant, the giant photon anchor, young Arthur is like a blade of grass on a giant mountain or a small insect on a giant rock. He is both humble and insignificant.
However, the boy had faced a dragon, a giant beast that was much larger than the giant. The two were not comparable in terms of tactics, but they gave the boy a bit of psychological comfort.
"Youngster, you actually caused so much damage in my fleet. You are really capable!" The Viking leader said words of praise in a contemptuous tone. His huge voice was like a mountain falling apart and a beast roaring.
Just this sound is enough to kill someone.
"But your luck has come to an end. This giant anchor is going to cut your little body into pieces with one knife. You can't hide from it! Even if you don't touch it directly, you will be blown by the wind pressure caused by the blade.
Bloody and bloody!!
I'll let you choose. Do you kill yourself and die happily? Or do you smash it into pieces with my knife and turn into pieces of meat scattered all over the deck of this ship, waiting to be gnawed by rats? However, even if you kill yourself
, it will be smashed after death!"
"Why don't I choose the third option? I'll just kill you." Arthur said disapprovingly, holding a lightsaber in his hand.
"Haha. Hahahahahahahahaha!!!" The giant laughed, as if he had heard a ridiculous joke: "You are such an ignorant boy! Are you really not afraid of death?"
"Fear is one of the emotions I don't have. So, don't worry, even if I take out your heart and crush it, I won't hesitate at all."
The giant laughed even crazier: "People often say that I am a monster. Are you also a monster? Interesting! The wrestling between monsters is really exciting!!!"
The Viking giant raised his giant anchor: "It's time for a bloody storm!"
"------It's just that you were torn into pieces by then." Arthur said in vain.
"Drink!!!" The giant knocked it down unexpectedly.
bump!!!!!!!
There was a loud noise and the shattered deck was filled with smoke.
There was blood all over the ground, and it was obvious that something had been smashed to pieces.
But.
A lightsaber stabbed a big hole in the giant's leg. The boy stabbed his opponent and immediately disappeared in the smoke.
"Oh? How did you dodge that blow?" asked the giant.
"It's simple, because I wasn't standing there in the first place." The young man's voice replied.
When the smoke cleared, six teenagers stood on the deck.
"Projection magic?" the giant said disdainfully, "Huh, you can't do anything clever!"
The teenagers in front of them are all optical projections made by magic. They need to rely on corpses on the battlefield to activate, which is a common blinding method used by low-level magicians.
"Indeed, they are just blinding tricks, and they can't even be called magic." Arthur's voice came out from various projections. The projection sound is also part of the projection magic. "However, it is enough to save lives."
After all, a huge monster like you can strangle me to death with just a move of your fingers."
"There's no point in trying to be clever like this!" The giant raised his weapon again, "Just smash this kind of thing all at once!!"
The giant smashed hard. The giant photon anchor slammed down, splitting the deck in two, setting off a huge shock wave, and literally shredding all the six teenagers' stand-ins in an instant.
Bang!!!!!!
Wood chips and iron pieces flew everywhere. The giant's attack even split the entire ship into two. Most of the broken deck was blown away. The ship began to tilt and slowly sank!
"You actually boarded a warship for a brat." The giant said disdainfully. Just as he put down his weapon and was about to leave------
The tip of the lightsaber passed through his abdomen.
"What...what...?" The Viking leader's eyes widened and he looked at the lightsaber blade pierced through his abdomen in disbelief. The green light from the blade illuminated the Viking leader's abdomen from the inside out.
The stench of burning was constantly exuding.
"For a guy as tall as a bear like you, the tip of the lightsaber really can't reach his heart." The young man's voice sounded from behind the giant.
"You have obviously...how could you..." the giant muttered in confusion.
"Who told you that one of the substitutes there must be my real body? I was always standing behind you looking for opportunities." The young man thrust the sword deeper and upwards.
cut open.
"As expected of...a knight." The Viking leader had already begun to speak incoherently.
"When did I ever say that I was a knight?" the young man said disgustedly, "just a passing swordsman."
"Swordsman...swordsman...really..."
"You should just stop saying a few words and die quickly!" The young man continued to pull up the sword, completely piercing the giant's chest and completely shattering the giant's heart.
"Ha, ha!" The giant did not fall forward, but pressed back hard.
"What!" The boy who didn't have time to dodge was crushed by a giant as tall as the mountain.
"You won't be able to escape this way." The giant laughed wildly, "Since we are all monsters, let's be buried here together!"
The warship is sinking accelerating, and there is a sea of fire everywhere. Before long, the ship will hit the ground, and everything will be reduced to ashes in the big explosion.
"Damn it!" The young man struggled to escape, but he knew in his heart that his thin body would never be able to escape from the giant's 10,000-ton weight.
"Are you going to die here like this? My mission, my wish------" The young man closed his eyes unwillingly. "Father..."
At this moment, a voice suddenly asked: "Why don't you... become a spirit?"
Arthur blinked and saw a handsome young man wearing a black robe with silver hair and silver eyes. His face was a typical oval face, with a tall nose and flat eyebrows, plus pupils that reflected light like silver.
, coupled with the short silver hair, everything looks like a scholar.
He is handsome, but he is dressed in ancient costumes that are out of place for the same era, and his ethereal presence makes it difficult for people to believe that he is a [person].
"Are you... a ghost?" the boy asked the silver-haired young man.
"Ghost? Why do you compare me to such a low-level thing?" The silver-haired young man looked confused, "I can be regarded as a higher-level existence. Probably."
"So, am I really dead? Have I become a ghost?" Arthur was confused and wanted to move his body, but he was still pressed by the giant's body and couldn't escape. This is unscientific. Can't ghosts pass through objects?
"Death is not possible. At least, your body cannot die before it is incinerated by fire." The mysterious young man said.
(Isn’t this nonsense?)
"------Am I still alive?" Arthur took a deep breath, but the thick smoke from the fire made him suffocate: "Ahem...save me! Get me out!!"
"So, I ask you why you don't transform into a spiritual body. After transforming into a spiritual body, can't you simply escape? No, wait, you don't know how to transform into a spiritual body? No way. Could it be that you are still a natural human body?
, haven’t awakened yet?"
"Awakening?" Arthur asked blankly.
"Oops, I said too much." The silver-haired young man's face changed, "This rough stone is unexpectedly simple. I may have been like you, an ordinary... human being. When did I become this person?"
What about this? It happened so long ago that I can’t even remember it.”
"If you have time to mutter there, can you rescue me first?" The young man said hurriedly, "It's getting more and more uncomfortable here------"
"Oh, it's just a matter of raising a hand." As soon as the young man raised his hand, the scene around Arthur changed instantly.
"This is...my room?" Arthur looked around. Lancelot was probably still outside helping to prepare, otherwise he would be frightened by this scene.
"I thought you would feel more comfortable when you come back here." said the mysterious young man.
"Indeed." The boy got up and said, "I'm very grateful to you──"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a fire outside the window. The Viking mother ship hit the ground heavily and a huge explosion occurred.
Arthur covered his face to block the blast: "If I had escaped a little later, I would have turned into a roast duck by now."
"No, I think, even if it explodes, it will probably avoid you, and even the flames will automatically pass by you, not daring to hurt you at all." said the mysterious young man.
"Stop joking, how could I possibly use such a powerful protective magic!" Arthur waved his hand disapprovingly.
"Forget it, you won't understand even if I explain it now." The mysterious young man raised the staff in his hand, "Goodbye, Arthur. Let's have a good talk next time."
"Who are you------?"
"Merlin, please call me Merlin." The staff in the young man's hand began to glow palely, "I can be considered a magician."
In a flash of bright light, the young man disappeared into thin air.
"Teleportation magic! It was completed without any preparation..." Arthur naturally said to himself, "This is already at the level of a magic master. What else can you say [can be considered a magician]?"
The battle outside the window has gradually come to an end. The Vikings lost their leader, became disheartened, and began to run away with their tails between their legs. The knights also stopped pursuing.
"Why don't you catch up and give them the final blow? If you don't kill them all, they will come back to cause trouble again soon--" Arthur said to himself.
"That's impossible. Because it violates the Knight's Creed." A voice sounded behind him.
"...So, knights are really...stupid creatures." Arthur fell to the ground before he finished speaking.
Only then did he notice how tired he was. Not only did he fight a dragon, but he also killed countless Vikings in one day.
A tall figure walked towards the young man, but the young man's eyes were too tired to open.
