Ark: The Cycle of Light and Darkness

"Uh-huh……！"

The scope of the sword pressure is far beyond the land. Even Manfred, who turned into blood mist, could not completely escape the knight's charged blow. Although he narrowly escaped death from the sword piercing attack, the Blood Demon also After only maintaining the blood mist state for less than half a second, he was forced to break away and half-knelt on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Even if his body was half solid and half virtual, he could not survive the pressure of that terrifying sword. Manfred felt that several of his ribs had been broken, and one of them had even penetrated into his lungs. If it hadn't been for the blood demon, With strong vitality, just such an injury is enough to kill him.

"Ahem... Wow!"

Coughing again due to coughing and bleeding, the magic armor knight lowered his head and looked at Manfred who was half kneeling on the ground. He slowly raised the weapon in his hand with the tip of the sword pointing flat. He made the same starting gesture, even appearing to It was a bit dull, as if a poor warrior had to start all over again after a set of punches, just like his actions just now, like a... marionette.

Manfred stared at the tip of the sword, only feeling abnormally fearful.

Like, too like Silent.

There was no room for communication. His attacks were cruel and merciless, with terrifying strength and range. Even if the moves were as simple as a child fighting, he just used pure"strong" to crush everything.

This is exactly what happened. It was the monster-like existence that almost single-handedly defeated the three royal courts of the Blood Demon King, the Shapeshifter King and the Scavenger King during the"Operation Broken Blade".

"……！"

He stood up with a groan. The severe pain in his chest almost made Manfred's eyesight go dark. He could only use the command knife in his hand to prop himself up on the ground. At the same time, the shining root of Tikaz flashed back behind him. , preparing for the next attack.

Manfred didn't know whether he could withstand the next attack of the knight in front of him, but he could only try and contain it as much as possible - because if he didn't do this, he would definitely die.

"bring it on……! You monster!"

Taking a deep breath, he pulled out the command sword inserted into the ground and pointed it at the knight in perfect posture. Manfred's eyes flashed with determination, and the knight seemed to have untied his restraints and thrust his sword forward -

Dang! Dang! - Boom!

The first sword hit the command knife in Manfred's hand. The monster-like force instantly shattered the posture he finally put up, and the second sword that followed was unforgiving and smashed it to pieces. The command knife had already cracked.

The third blow fell straight down and fell on Manfred's shoulder, almost removing the right arm of the commander of the Second Army.

"Well——！"

Manfred fell to his knees under the attack of severe pain.

The magic armor knight suddenly drew his giant sword and raised it high again. The executioner stared at his target with dull eyes, which was the head that was about to be separated from the torso.

"Lord Manfred!"

With the exclamations and arrows flying continuously, it is obvious that after losing traces of some of the patrolling soldiers and even Manfred as the commander, reinforcements will arrive at an extremely fast speed. The knight in the magic armor Turning his head sideways, he seemed to be distracted by this long-range attack and had no time to worry about the prisoner who was about to be executed.

"——idiot! do not come!"

However, as the"rescued" party, Manfred only had panic in his expression:"Hurry! Return to the royal courts quickly! You can't stop it - cough cough cough!"

The injured ribs further stopped the shouting. Manfred couldn't help but curl up and vomited a mouthful of blood. This gesture was naturally interpreted in front of the supporting team as an invading foreign enemy was torturing this man. The commander of the city defense force.

In an instant, the entire team members were angry.

Whether Manfred is a qualified commander has not yet been fully proven, but as the Second Army and even the current Londinium City Defense Force Commander, he really loved his soldiers like his own son, and was deeply loved by the soldiers.

——That's why his soldiers risked their lives to save her.

——But such a heroic behavior is as ridiculous as a moth flying into a flame at this moment.

The giant sword was stained with flesh and blood, but it continued to advance. The fierce knight swung the sword without saying a word, cutting through the blazing arrows and spells, and also cut through the trembling hands, with fearful cheeks and beating hearts. heart.

The armor was soaked in blood again, and it was no longer possible to tell whether the irregular red color on the black background was the original color or the blood sprayed on it. The knight is like a tireless and emotionless machine.

Forward, behead, forward, behead.

The mechanical movements have a slightly weird beauty. Even if the well-trained soldiers are many to one, they can't stop the knight for even half a second. With just the blink of an eye, a reinforced army is swallowed up by the knight, leaving only Blood and corpses all over the ground

"Regulus Harvey, you bastard!!"

Seeing his soldiers fall one after another, Manfred couldn't help shouting in anger:"You win! You lied to us all! you are still alive! --so what!"

"What do you mean by showing up here?"

Unexpectedly, the knight in the magic armor did not react in any way to Manfred's words. The knight just raised his head and looked at a place faintly - there was outside the city wall.

Manfred was surprised With incomparable eyes, the knight slowly took off his helmet.

The empty figure disappeared along with the armor, like smoke, in an instant.
