Episode 681: The Black Knight (2)
This time too, it was the priest who stepped forward.
A woman wearing a tiara around her eyes, covering half of her face, and wearing pure white clothes and cotton yarn.
Berom looked at the priest silently.
I did not commit the foolish act of belittling the other person based on his or her appearance.
‘The fact that he steps forward here with confidence must mean that he has the corresponding skills.’
Berom’s prediction came true.
When the priest who went out to deal with Berom spread his right hand wide, the sacred power burning like fire gathered together and turned into a sword.
On the other hand, a circular shield symbolizing the sun was created.
‘no. ‘It’s not just that.’
Golden divine power gathered around the priest’s body, forming a helmet and covering his body with armor.
The priest, wearing armor, shield, and sword that seemed to have been made by taking the brilliantly shining sunlight and tempering it, had no ordinary spirit.
Liné, who saw this, widened her eyes in surprise.
The name of the priest who came forward this time is Zenith.
Her specialty was close combat with a sword, shield, and armor, as shown now.
Rine saw that and thought to herself.
‘The abilities of the two priests who were left behind a little while ago were also different. ‘Do priests use different forms of power?’
Although its power came from divine power, its fighting style was completely different.
Summon something, fight with two fists, or make weapons and armor.
“sister. go.”
“Thank you, Janice. “I’ll trust you here.”
Catherine led Line and the remaining priests and moved.
“Young lady. Do you think I will let you go?”
Berom swung his sword to stop Catherine.
A half-moon shaped dark red sword was launched along the sharp sword’s trajectory.
Even when Catherine saw the sword, she did not try to avoid or block it.
The reason was Zenith, who stepped forward as if to protect her.
When Zenith presented a circular shield, an intense light emanated from the shield, growing in size to cover the surrounding area.
Dark red sword energy struck the shield, but Zenith did not flinch.
Zenith, who had blocked the sword energy, beamed from inside her golden helmet.
When Berom saw that, he realized that he couldn’t ignore Zenith.
I had to grab the saint’s ankle, but I never thought that I would end up being grabbed by the priest.
‘If you look at that windy girl and the elf elder fighting over there, the priest must be a formidable warrior.’
For Berom, it might have been fortunate to have at least one priest tied up in this position.
‘If a priest has this level of skill, then of course a saint of a higher rank would be much stronger. I can tell from the fact that he dodged my attacks, but maybe he’s too strong for me to deal with.’
Then what can we do?
Berom strongly created a dark red aura from his sword.
“Well, I don’t like fighting with pretty girls, but I guess it can’t be helped. “That pretty face looks like it’s been stabbed.”
“Your tone of voice is different from your appearance.”
Priest Zenis reprimanded Berom.
At first glance, Berom, wearing living armor, seemed charismatic and quiet.
At that point, Berom shook his shoulders and laughed.
“Well, if I wear something like this, does that mean I have to use the old-fashioned knightly way of speaking?”
“At least I thought so.”
“miss. “I’m sorry for betraying your expectations, but I don’t use that tone of voice.”
Berom’s red eyes filled with anger glowed from inside his helmet.
“I really hate that.”

While the battle was in full swing outside, a similarly fierce battle was taking place inside Galaharad Fortress.
“profit! “This is really annoying!”
Sheridan, riding in a huge powered armor, moved his body and punched at Liquid Slime.
As if the liquid slime wasn’t liquid for no reason, it made a round hole in its body and passed the fist through, then held onto the fist.
As Liquid Slime’s body tightly tightened the arm of the powered suit, the arm of the powered suit shattered with a crackling sound.
“You’re so strong!”
It was made with fairly strong materials, but in front of the Liquid Golem, it was easily torn apart like a piece of straw.
“I guess they used the same ingredients and strengthened them even more? “It’s pretty good!”
“Oh Hyo-hyo. You certainly have excellent eyes. But that alone won’t be enough to fight my Liquid Golem, right?”
“under! “Do you think I didn’t prepare anything?”
Sheridan controlled the powered armor and increased the output of the core magnetic cube to a higher level.
Wooooow.
The light of the black cube with a bluish pattern on top became stronger and exerted an intense magnetic force around it.
However, the liquid golem made of metal did not budge despite its magnetic power.
“Did you think I wasn’t prepared for magnetic force? You are welcome! “When manufacturing this liquid golem, we added the most basic function to block magnetic fields!”
“under! How can you prepare for the skills of your colleagues? “Isn’t it too dark inside?”
Since Sheridan had heard from Ludger about whose magic this magnetic cube originated from, he was able to see through Victor’s sinister intentions at once.
When Victor created this liquid golem, he applied the technology to prepare for Leslie, who was judged to be the most threatening liquid golem.
Even considering that his relationship with Leslie, who is also from the First Order, is not that good, it is said that he assumed the possibility of fighting him.
“You were planning on betraying me from the beginning?”

“Oh dear. What a betrayal. Saying that makes me feel sad. Because I was originally a member of Lumensis!”
Liquid Golem, under Victor’s command, transformed into a sharp spear and aimed at Sheridan’s core.
What caught it was the arm of the powered armor that had been broken a moment ago.
In no time, the neatly reconstructed arm grabbed the Liquid Golem with one hand and slammed it to the floor.
“okay. Was the magnetism from earlier actually meant to procure parts for the broken arm? “There are a lot of parts here.”
“It’s too late to realize it!”
The magnetic force of the magnetic cube extended to the surrounding debris left by the fight.
Debris floated up and attached to Sheridan’s powered armor, further strengthening the armor.
The magnetic cube that Ludger carefully created was even infused with “Alchemy (Ars Magna)” type magic.
The reason was that the metal debris of all shapes and forms changed into an appropriate form the moment they adhered to the powered armor.
The metals whose form changed due to the alchemy stored in the magnetic cube were replaced with the outer armor of the powered armor or turned into something completely different.
Like right now.
Slam!
Remnants gathered in both hands of the powered armor and turned into long guns.
Since it was carrying a huge powered armor that was several meters tall, it actually looked more like a cannon than a gun.
The large-diameter gun was pointed at the Liquid Golem.
Jiyiing.
The barrel of the gun, or rather the gun barrel, turned blue and the bullet was fired with strong magnetic force.
A straight line drawn in the air with a flash of light.
The blue line not only pierced the Liquid Golem, but also aimed at Victor beyond it.
However, the railgun’s bullets never reached Victor Dreadful.
Tooung!
This was because the automaton suddenly jumped out from Victor’s side and struck down the railgun’s bullet with one hand.
Quagwagwagwang!
The back of the laboratory where the railgun swept through was a mess, but Victor was fine.
“No, what is that again?”
Sheridan looked at the newly appeared automaton with a confused gaze.
It certainly looked like an ordinary mannequin, but not only did it bounce off the rail gun, but its arm was still intact.
While Sheridan was confused, the automaton moved.
The automaton, which was moving several meters at a single step, approached Sheridan and lashed out at the thick central armor of the powered armor.
Quang!
The Powered Armor flinched back with an unbelievable shock from the impact of a small fist.
It was said that the output was abnormally strong.
“profit! That’s right, if you put it in a weight class and press on it!”
Just as he was about to counterattack by increasing the output of his powered armor, Sheridan realized that one of his feet was not moving, as if it was stuck somewhere.
“what?!”
When I checked below, I saw that the part of the liquid golem that had been pierced by the rail gun remained, holding onto the ankles of the powered armor and fixing them to the ground like shackles.
Meanwhile, the automaton approached Sheridan again and clenched its fist.
Clap!
A sharp hidden blade protruded from the back of the automaton’s hand.
What was even more surprising was that a bluish aura formed on the automaton’s blade.
“Auror?!”
Sheridan opened his eyes wide.
Auror? Automaton is an Auror? Aren’t Aurors the exclusive domain of knights?
While Sheridan was panicking, the blade imbued with aura had already come within a stone’s throw.
No matter how strong the powered armor is, if it continues like this, it will pierce both the armor and the Sheridan riding within it.
At that time, Arpa came out…
Quang!
Arpa’s double side kick, with all his might, kicked the automaton’s side.
The new version of the automaton bounced sideways and rolled around on the floor several times.
“are you okay?”
“Thanks to! More profit! “This thing won’t fall off your feet!”
At a time when Sheridan was attacking the Liquid Golem, who was holding onto his ankle until the end, Bellaluna, who was secretly mixing drugs, sprayed the reagent towards the Liquid Golem.
Chiiik!
The Liquid Golem’s surface corroded quickly, was unable to maintain its shape, and melted like ice cream on asphalt.
Victor saw that and was happy with a blush on his face.
“No, this can’t be happening! A medicine that instantly dissolves liquid golems that have developed resistance to corrosion, corruption, magic, and curses! What kind of ingredients did you extract and combine?! “I’m really curious!”
“Well, do you think I’m going to say that?”
“Well, it doesn’t matter if you don’t tell me! Because if they capture you alive and open your head, that’s it! Ah, I’m so excited! This is new knowledge that I don’t know yet! “I can’t bear it!”
Bella Luna made a disgusted expression at Victor’s excited shout.
“Ugh. “It’s disgusting.”
If Ludger were here, he would have asked what you had to say.
“Hehehe. What a great elf girl you are! Elves who use medicinal herbs, and dwarves who specialize in mechanical engineering. And even an automaton boy who is very similar to a human.”
Victor even figured out Arpa’s identity long ago.
“That’s why you are the perfect opponent to test my masterpiece. “Can you really beat my work?”
Automatons appeared one by one around Victor.
A smooth white face with no eyes, nose, or mouth.
The ivory body showed no blemishes except for the joints.
It literally reminded me of a prototype automaton, but as someone who had seen that performance right before, I couldn’t ignore it just based on its appearance.
“ruler! Please entertain me more!”
There are a total of five newly appeared automatons, including the one that Arpa kicked away.
Considering that they all look the same, it was correct to assume that their performance was also the same.
‘Aurora. It’s surprising that something like that can be used, but anyway, as long as you’re careful about close combat!’
Sheridan aimed the railgun at the automaton.
At that moment, the automatons simultaneously extended their right hands toward Sheridan.
“What are you trying to do…” … .”
Sheridan could not finish his words.
It was because of the blue magical magic spread around the automaton’s palm.
[Rumbling flame]
[Roaring thunderbolt]
[Exploding ice flower]
The 3rd level magic that was fired was aimed at Sheridan, Bellaluna, and Arpa.
“Everyone get behind me!”
Sheridan shouted and stood in front of Velaruna and turned up the magnetic cube’s output to maximum.
Arpa also quickly came behind Sheridan and hid himself.
A bluish magnetic barrier was created and blocked the incoming magic.
Sheridan shouted, enduring the exploding magic light.
“It’s magic! “How on earth do you do that!”
“Ah, it looks like the magic itself is stored in that automaton.”
Bella Luna exclaimed after discovering the magic circuit engraved on the automaton’s body.
Her guess was correct.
Inside the automaton, along with the magic stone, various magic spells were engraved like engravings, allowing magic to be used quickly at the desired timing.
An automaton with the abilities of a knight and a wizard.
What was even more annoying to Sheridan was the black automaton that appeared behind the five ivory automatons.
‘That’s dangerous.’
I had a gut feeling that the moment that black guy moved, it would become dangerous.
At that time, Arpa spoke to Sheridan.
“Can you buy me a little time?”
“Is there any way?”
“yes.”
Arpa said with a confident voice.
“It is possible. “I learned something from you.”
