Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 2061 2033. Dual Swords and Magic

【Twin Moon Knight】Leylana, as a knight with a reputation, cannot be weak in terms of strength.

In addition, given her royal lineage, her magical talent is not as good as her sister's, who is a royal hero, but it is only slightly less than hers.

The magic of the Kalia royal family, combined with her own powerful warrior talent, makes her combat strength far greater than that of ordinary black knights.

Whether it's their signature magic or their small but elite Kalia knights, the Kalia royal family always seems to give people a refined and elegant feeling.

The same goes for Leilana, but it seems that the bloodshed and ruthlessness of the Shadowlands were too intense, which added a touch of ruthlessness to her already refined and elegant demeanor.

"Stuck!"

A dull, sharp sound came from the hilt of the sword that Leilana had plunged into the Black Knight's chest.

The Twin Moon Knight was about the same height as Marlene, and after she pierced the Black Knight, she naturally hung the traitor on her sword.

But as if that wasn't enough, she raised her longsword even higher.

At this moment, because Leilana's counterattack was so fast and ruthless, the Black Knight didn't even have time to react.

Therefore, even under stress, he still gripped his hammer and thick shield tightly.

The weight of his own body, plus the weight of the two heavy weapons, immediately pulled the Black Knight's body downwards to its limit.

Considering that the Radiant Stone Knight Sword was stabbing into the Black Knight's chest, it was as if the Black Knight's flesh was being pulled and forced against the blade.

She then lifted the sword up again, and with the Black Knight's flesh pressed against the blade, she performed a dragging slash.

That 'crack' sound did more than just make the wound worse.

They also severed two of the Black Knight's ribs, in addition to the stab wound, and even tore a larger hole in his black and gold armor.

Blood gushed from his chest cavity, flowing rapidly and violently, even making a dripping sound on his armor.

However, the Twin Moon Knights, who have been fighting in the Shadowlands for a long time, have similar fighting habits to Cassandra.

They do not stop just because they have inflicted conventionally fatal damage on the enemy.

Because of the many enemies they faced, a mere fatal wound was simply not enough to completely stop their subsequent operations.

The two longswords in Leilana's hands were handled with perfect rhythm and controlled movement.

She had just used her left-hand flame-patterned longsword to deflect the Black Knight's massive shield, allowing the Radiant Knight's sword in her right hand to plunge straight into her chest.

And in the instant the Black Knight's body stiffened after being wounded in the chest, the flame-patterned longsword that had just deflected the shield had already returned to his hand.

Then came a 'click' sound!
Leilana used her flame-patterned longsword to decapitate the black knight who attacked her, helmet and all!

The severed head rolled on the ground like an irregular ball, blood staining the white fur ornament on the helmet and sticking it to the helmet.

The scraping sound of the blade against the jagged edges of the armor filled the air as Leilana tossed the Black Knight's corpse off the longsword.

She then swung the blood-stained Brilliantstone Knight's Sword once more.

The longsword in her hand was like a staff, held high above her head and drawn a circle.

Not only was the blood on the sword shaken off, but the magic power of the radiant stone on it was also controlled and dispersed outside the sword.

"Sizzle!"

A dozen longswords made of azure brilliance magic floated around the Twin Moon Knight, their tips all pointing in the direction in front of him.

Behind Lann and the others, the Witcher had just decisively pulled Margarita aside.

Immediately afterwards, a loud explosion erupted behind them!

"bump!"

Of the remaining three black knights, one wielding a shield-hammer swung his shield fiercely! The heavy black iron shield, as thick as a door panel, slapped a seemingly stunned black knight straight out of the small archway of the hall like swatting a fly.

At that moment, another black knight wielding a double-headed sword leaped into the air.

In an instant, a pair of golden wings unfurled behind him, allowing him to soar high into the sky like a god.

But it didn't fly very high. Then, like a hawk swooping down to pounce on its prey, it glided and charged towards Leilana!
During this process, the black iron double-edged sword combined with the power of the [Forge Wings of a Hundred Elephants].

In the Black Knight's hands, it spun like a circular saw, gleaming with golden light.

The hissing sound of the wind echoed throughout the entire hall, and the shallow, calm water rippled in the wind stirred up by the Black Knight's dive.

However, after dealing with the Black Knight who ambushed her, Leilana immediately used [Radiant Sword Array], as if it was specifically designed to counter this move.

The Twin Moon Knight walked forward, her posture still elegant. But the magical longswords floating around her suddenly transformed into streaks of light, crashing into the charging Black Knight.

"Wow~"

The sound of the pyroxene magic shattering rang out.

Half of the magic longsword crashed into the golden double-headed sword spinning in front of the black knight, failing to injure the black knight behind him, but completely neutralizing the impact of the [Furnace Hundred Wings].

Left with no other choice, the Black Knight had to unleash the last bit of power from the [Wings of the Furnace] halfway through the journey.

"For the Golden Tree!"

The Black Knight roared, and the double-headed sword in his hand, which had been spinning like a circular saw and producing a golden circular surface, suddenly stopped and became even brighter in his hand.

Then the double-headed sword left a golden afterimage in mid-air, and swung back and forth in the black knight's hand towards the approaching Leilana.

However, the Black Knight, whose speed had already been reduced by the impact of the magic sword, finally unleashed too little power.

Leilana deftly sidestepped, avoiding the straight line of the golden light slash.

While dodging to the side, he used one of his two longswords to slash while dodging, and the other to thrust from the side when he came to a stop.

With two sharp rips, the black knight's armor shattered with a metallic groan, and blood dripped down, covering the black and gold armor.

Not only that, but the remaining half of the magic longsword beside Leilana also rushed towards the Black Knight as the opponent was injured, crashing into him with a series of cracking sounds.

This made the wound even larger and more gruesome, and it also sent the Black Knight flying.

Leilana didn't stop; in fact, after dealing with the Twin-Headed Sword Black Knight, she charged straight forward!
It swept past Lan En and his group like a gust of wind.

At that moment, the black knight equipped with a shield and hammer had just pushed away another person who looked exactly like him.

Before he could even get his shield back to protect himself, Leilana was already in front of him.

"呲呲!"

Two longswords, accompanied by crisp, clean whistling sounds, slashed down one after the other.

The Radiant Stone Knight Sword sliced ​​diagonally downwards into the opponent's chest from the left shoulder, while the Flame Pattern Longsword sliced ​​diagonally downwards from the right shoulder.

The two swords struck with great precision; the black knight's collarbone, ribs, and even his spine beneath his armor were unable to withstand the blades' penetration.

The Black Knight's head, along with his neck and a small portion of his chest below the neck, were severed from his body by the crisscrossing slashes.

Leilana twisted the hilt of her sword and used the blade to cut off the severed limbs, leaving only a body that collapsed helplessly to the ground.

Once the black knight's head and neck had fallen to the ground, the Twin Moon Knights, who had remained silent throughout, finally turned their gaze to Lan En and the others, without any intention of sheathing their twin swords at their waists.

Lan En could understand this vigilance and subtle hostility, after all, a mutiny and assassination had just occurred here, and the assassin had come with them.

He almost wanted to applaud Leilana for maintaining some rational thinking after holding out for so long in the bloodbath of Shadowlands... if his hand hadn't been on the hilt of the Lake Maiden's Sword at his waist.

The assassination attempt happened too quickly, and the Twin Moon Knights dealt with it too quickly.

This meant that when the last traitorous Black Knight's head, along with his neck and part of his chest, hit the ground, the Black Knight who had just been knocked out the door rushed back in, weapon in hand.

The Black Knight who rushed in first saw the unharmed Twin Moon Knights, and then breathed a sigh of relief. He walked up to Leilana and knelt down on one knee. His huge, stamp-like hammerheads were pressed onto the ground like real stamps, and his hands supported the hammer handles.

“This is my dereliction of duty, sir. I did not know... that the rebellion of Commander Andros and Xiu still has lingering effects even now.”

The Twin Moon Knight nodded calmly, still without speaking, but she raised the Radiant Stone Knight Sword in her hand, gesturing for the other party to stand up.

"Who are they?" The exquisite silver helmet turned to face Lann and his group.

This was the first time Leilana had spoken.

The helmet made her voice sound muffled, but the tone was still quite good, making one wonder if the face beneath the helmet was as beautiful as her voice.

However, at the same time, the tone of the voice was harsh and cold.

The sense of awkwardness that came from not communicating with others for so long almost reminded Lan En of the people in the world of fire.

When the world is about to collapse, everyone's lives will have been completely destroyed, and even the ability to speak and communicate normally will seem so precious.

The Shadowlands still retain traces of plants, trees, and animals, far from the decaying state of the Firelands. However, if things continue as they are, they will likely become quite similar.

"Them?" the Black Knight replied immediately. "They came from outside the city, and they claim to be... Bang!"

The Black Knight responded promptly, as he always has.

But at the end of his words, he suddenly gripped his hammer tightly and swung it at the Twin Moon Knights who were turning to look at Lan En and the others!
