Darkening Guardian Knight
Page 16
The clang of "jingling" sounded, it was the collision between metals.The sharp blades and iron swords staggered, turning the impossible into a possibility, blocking the assassin's lore blow.
He didn't need to look at the assassin to know who was blocking his blow. He didn't expect that person to come so soon and ruined his perfect attack.He thought in his heart that it was bad luck, and regretted that he almost finished the kill.
But the assassin didn't give up yet, he was confident at such a close distance.
Even that young man couldn't stop his all-out attack and killing skills.
So he broke out again, swiping the sharp blade in his hand quickly, and attacked the opponent like rain.As long as his opponent dodges a little, Patriarch Holt's life will be lost.
But if the assassin's attack is like rain, then his opponent's defense is like an umbrella.Although the umbrella is not big, it completely blocks the rain outside.No matter how fierce the rain is, it cannot penetrate the defense of the umbrella and it is difficult to enter.
The assassin was also shocked. The opponent seemed to be stronger than the last fight, and even blocked his attacks again and again. You must know that this is the attack speed of an assassin, which should be far faster than other professions.
But that young man took all his attacks with only one sword, which is too weird.
The boy didn't know the shock in the assassin's heart, he blocked all the assassin's attacks, and successfully protected Patriarch Holt behind him.Seeing the exhaustion of the assassin's attack, the young man slashed heavily with his iron sword, sending the assassin flying.
"It looks like I'm not late, so I arrived in time." The young knight sent the assassin flying, and stood in front of Geese with a relaxed smile on his face.
The assassin flew upside down and stood firm on the eaves of Holt's mansion. He raised his hand to wipe the blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and said with a sneer, "Little brat, do you really think you arrived in time?"
No.20 Section Nine Threats and Determination
The assassin had expected this situation a long time ago, he smiled evilly with a hideous face.
Carter stood in front of him more than ten meters away, and he could clearly see the assassin's demeanor.Seeing the assassin's sly smile, he had a vague premonition in his heart.
"Hmph, who do you see over there?" The assassin suddenly pointed to the distance, his fingertips pointing towards the peak of the bell tower a hundred meters away.
Carter followed his direction and saw the person on the clock tower, and his heart skipped a beat.
The person upstairs was his eldest lady Jessica, the person he swore to protect to the death.But now she is bound and bound, hanging from the top of the bell tower.
The rope that restrained her was fluttering with the wind, and it seemed very unreliable, giving one the feeling that as long as the wind blows a little stronger, the rope would be broken every inch of it.
"Miss!!" Carter lost his voice, feeling unstable.
For him, the eldest lady is more important than anything else, but now that she is being held hostage, Carter has nothing to do.
"Don't move around. The clock tower is only a hundred meters away from here. With my sixth-level assassin's aim, it's impossible for me to miss it."
With a smile on his face, the assassin waved the knife in his hand at the young knight in a demonstrative manner.
It was a throwing knife, one of the necessary weapons for the assassin profession. Although it was not powerful, it was enough to cut a thick rope that was not very strong.
Carter gritted his teeth and did not act rashly.He didn't doubt the assassin's words, and understood that the other party was not lying.
He knew that the assassin must be trying to threaten him to do things, so he asked directly: "What do you want me to do to let the eldest lady go?"
"Oh, you are very sensible." The assassin grinned and said happily, "I won't make things difficult for you, as long as you help me kill Patriarch Holt, I will let her go."
After saying this, Geese himself broke out in a cold sweat, and retreated tens of meters in a row, with fear in his eyes.After all, the boy has a strength of level six, and now it seems that he is likely to be turned against him and become a dangerous person for them.
"..." Carter was even more silent.
This is still embarrassing for him, if he kills Patriarch Holt, he will not be able to get away with being a traitor.
In this way, he and his young lady would no longer have a place to live in the Principality of Folia, and would continue to wander.
"What's the matter? Don't do it?" The assassin was a little dissatisfied with Carter's attitude, and put the knife in his hand as if aiming.
This is of course bluffing, forcing Carter to make a quick decision.But in fact, with his sixth-level assassin's martial arts cultivation, he didn't even need to aim at such a fixed target.
"..." Carter held the iron sword tightly in his hand, his face was gloomy, but he still didn't move.
Seeing this, the assassin felt that he had to get more angry, otherwise it would be bad to procrastinate.So he shook his little hand and threw the knife out.
The small knife shot out quickly, and flew straight towards the bell tower, brushing against the not-so-strong thick hemp rope, and cut a small hole in the rope.
Carter reacted the moment the assassin shot the knife.
But the knife was too fast, and Carter couldn't catch up with his speed. He could only watch helplessly as the knife brushed the hemp rope, leaving a small gap.
"What are you doing?!" Carter said angrily, with burning flames in his eyes.
The assassin was flustered by Carter's flaming eyes, and he reprimanded instead: "Who made you dawdling like this, I have no choice but to warn you, don't forget that your eldest lady is still in my hands. Don't do anything again , it’s not as simple as just passing the rope.”
"Well..." Carter was very helpless, he lowered his head, turned around, and walked slowly towards Keith.
Hundreds of guards surrounded Carter's way, trying to stop Carter's footsteps.But most of them are third- and fourth-level fighters, and they are much weaker than the current Carter in terms of martial arts.
The guards attacked Carter, but it had no effect. Carter just swung his iron sword lightly to drive them back.There is no way, the gap in strength level is too large, and it cannot be easily made up.
Of course, it doesn't mean that a sixth-level martial artist can despise hundreds of third- and fourth-level warrior guards. The combined strength of hundreds of guards is actually much stronger than a sixth-level warrior, but Carter is only one person after all. The number of guards to face at the same time is limited, at most a dozen.
Moreover, the excessive density of the guards made it impossible for them to fully exert their force, which caused Carter to be able to easily and calmly besieged by the guards.
Carter didn't attack with all his strength at this time, he let go a little bit.But the assassin didn't notice it. After all, Carter was surrounded by so many guards, and it was difficult to see the details.Carter was thinking about how to deal with the assassin.
Killing the head of the Holt family is undoubtedly the worst choice.
If there were any other possibilities, Carter would not choose this path.
But the problem now is that the young knight can't find other ways. He himself has a sixth-level median cultivation base.But the assassin is a low-level martial artist at the sixth level, and the gap between the two is not obvious.
If you want to save Jessica, you must not let the knife thrown by the assassin fly out, or give the assassin no chance to throw the knife at all.But no matter what it is, the premise is that Carter can kill or almost kill the opponent in seconds.
Judging from the current situation, this seems impossible, because Carter does not have the ability to instantly kill assassins.
No matter how strong and fierce Carter's attack is, the assassin can dodge it with superhuman agility, and then Carter's young lady will probably die.
Lack of power to instantly kill opponents!This is Carter's biggest problem right now.
Even if Carter deliberately released the water, the guards couldn't hold him back for too long.After all, Carter can't let the water go too far, it's not good for the assassin to see.
With the passage of time, Carter's footsteps have reached a place less than five meters away from Geese, and he will soon reach the front of Geese.
However, until now, Carter still hasn't thought of a good way.
"Are you really going to kill Patriarch Holt?" Carter frowned, struggling in his heart.
When he was thinking, he had already walked in front of Keith.
Facing the black-haired boy, Gies had a very bad expression on his face, and he also knew that the black-haired boy did not do this out of his heart, which can be seen from the fact that the boy had saved him before.
But everything is different now, Gies thought it would be better if this young man didn't show up, so that their family still had a glimmer of life, but now, facing the sixth-level assassin, and the black-haired boy who is also a sixth-level, their family might have no hope...
On the high bell tower, the girl gradually woke up, and she saw this unimaginable scene when she opened her eyes.
His own knight, Carter, even swung his sword at Patriarch Holt!
How ridiculous!Doesn't he know the consequences of killing Patriarch Holt?
But the girl soon realized that she was kidnapped, and Carter should have been threatened, so she would be stupid.
She knows her knight, but he is always centered on her, and everything he does is for her.
But how much she wanted to tell Carter not to care about herself, as long as he lived alone.But the distance between the two is too far, and the sound cannot reach that place.
Girls want to struggle, but can't.Being suspended in mid-air, she didn't have any strength to break free.
And there is no way to make yourself return to the ground safely after breaking free.
Carter's iron sword slashed the way to Guiss, cutting down several guards who came forward to intercept him.However, under his deliberate control, none of them caused fatal injuries.
He walked up to Geese, raised the iron sword high, and made a look to cut it off.
And he was uttering words at this time, and he was talking to Geese: "Lord Earl Holt, I just want to ask you a word—"
"Do you have any means to instantly kill that assassin?"
This was Carter's last hope. If Patriarch Holt couldn't help it, he would have to take a bad move.
Gith was a little surprised when he heard the boy ask this question.But he knew that time should not be wasted now, every microsecond had to be cherished, it was related to his life.
So he quickly replied: "Yes, but it requires a price."
"What is it? Say it quickly." Carter's eyes lit up when he heard that there was something to be said for it. The iron sword in his hand was trembling, and he slashed down at an extremely slow speed, as if he was hesitating in his heart.
This is when Carter is acting for the assassins, in order to gain more time to talk with the Holt family head.
Naturally, the assassin did not expect that the young man was actually negotiating with Patriarch Holt, and seeing that the young man hesitated but did not disobey him, he let him go.
In his opinion, anyway, the young knight will cut off Patriarch Holt's head anyway, it doesn't matter if it is faster or slower.
At this time Carter is still secretly talking to Keith.
"What is the method of instant killing? What is the price?"
"It's a level-seven magic scroll that can create a compressed storm and blow the target into flying ash. However, this magic has a preparation time of about three to five seconds, and the scroll needs to be attached to the target's body to not be torn off to be effective, so ..."
Geese didn't say much, if you want to use this scroll effectively, you must fix the sixth-level assassin.
And if there is no control magic, the only way to immobilize the assassin is to hug the opponent close to the body and not let the opponent move, but in this way, the end of the person who hugs the assassin will be very bad.
Geese originally planned to activate the scroll when the assassin attacked him, and he and the assassin were blown into ashes by the high-pressure storm, so that the Holt family could be saved, and he was the only one who lost.But Carter saved him, and at the same time disrupted his plan, making the situation even more embarrassing.
But things seem to be turning around now?
"I see." Carter was smart, and after hearing Patriarch Holt's words, he immediately understood what the other party meant.
But there is determination in his eyes, for Jessica's future, he is fearless.
"Give me the scroll." Carter said these four words calmly, his 14-year-old face was full of indifference.
On the day of No.30, her world collapsed
This time Gies didn't hesitate, and took out his hand from the big red magic robe, and in his hand was the magic scroll.It turned out that he had been putting his hands in his pockets all the time, hiding the last hole card!
"how to use?"
"Just unfold it, and the scroll will activate automatically." Geese quickly talked about how to use the magic scroll without wasting time.
In fact, the act of taking out the magic scroll was also a big gamble for Geese.
If the black-haired boy turned against him at this time, he really had no way to resist.However, judging from his several contacts with the young man, the young man in front of him does not seem to be that dishonest and bad person.
Carter's left hand was under the cover of the body, avoiding the eyes of the assassin, and picked up the magic scroll in Geese's hand. At the same time, his right hand cut down with an iron sword, and he was about to kill Geese with a sword. look.
When Keith saw this, his face turned pale in an instant, and he thought that he was blind and believed this person.But he was more helpless. The Holt family could not escape the fate of being wiped out, but he didn't expect to be wiped out so simply.
The assassin was laughing, he had already known this destined result, there was no accident.He stood tens of meters away from the two of them, with his hands folded, as if he was watching a play, the old god was there.
brush!The iron sword slashed down, but did not bring up a trace of blood.
Carter missed Keith, and Patriarch Holt was still standing intact.
Carter just wanted to rely on the power of the iron sword to turn around in the air and change the direction of attack.
Immediately after changing direction, he used the entry-level sword skill "Charge Blade" to stab the assassin with a single sword.
The assassin was a little surprised, but he was always on guard and didn't let Carter succeed.He used the wonderful agility of an assassin to avoid Carter's sword.
"It seems that you don't want your eldest lady's life!" Seeing that Carter didn't follow his own words, the assassin became angry, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and the knife was pulled out instantly, and he was about to fly to the clock tower.
But Carter would not let him succeed, he used the "Charge Blade" continuously, caught up with the assassin's figure, and then hugged the assassin directly without any fancy!
Before embracing the assassin, he had unfolded the magic scroll and held it tightly with his left hand, determined to die with the assassin.
The assassin was hugged and restricted in movement, unable to shoot the knife anymore.However, the knife was still useful. The assassin's hand moved slightly, allowing the knife to penetrate Carter's flesh.
"Let go! You should let go!" The assassin kept stabbing Carter. He didn't believe that anyone could support him under such pain.
"Don't let it go! Just give up! I have activated the magic scroll, and you will die with me!" Although Carter was in pain, he was in a happy mood.
It was already a victory for him not to let the assassin hurt Jessica.
"Damn it! Let me go! Let go!" The assassin also went crazy, constantly stabbing Carter's leg, causing Carter's thigh to be bloody and disfigured.
Keith, the head of the Holt family who survived the catastrophe, stared blankly at the scene, speechless for a long time.
He asked himself that he couldn't hold on to the assassin's fierce counterattack, secretly admired Carter in his heart, and at the same time lamented that it was a pity that such a good young knight was about to die.
But there is no way, if he doesn't die, the Holt family will be finished.Compared with the young knight, Geese is still more partial to his family.
Jessica watched all this from a distance, saw Carter's miserable appearance, tears rolled in her eyes: "Why...why did you do this?"
She didn't know that Carter was determined to sacrifice himself for her, but she could know Carter's belief just by seeing the tragedy of the battle.
That is the belief of fearlessness, the belief of being generous to die, heroic and heroic, covering the night with tragic colors.
Thinking of the happy time she had spent with Carter, Jessica's nose was slightly sour, and tears finally flowed out uncontrollably.
With tears in her eyes, she shouted from the bell tower, not wanting Carter to go on like this: "Stop! Carter, enough is enough! Don't hurt yourself anymore!"
