my armed maid

Chapter 120 Chapter 117: Flesh Monster

Led by the Alchemy Society and the Knights, a group of alchemists went to the open-air testing site to watch the actual battle between Nolen and Slock.

The area of ​​the test field is about the size of a football field. This is usually a place used by the Society to test strategic-level magic weapons.

Now that the miscellaneous equipment in the field has been cleared, Nolen and Slok each stood on both sides of the field with their own hands, making final preparations for this competition.

Outside the venue, the alchemists had already taken their seats in the audience one after another. Looking at where each other was sitting, they were also vaguely divided into two groups.

There were more people sitting on the Nolen side, and fewer people sitting on the Slok side.

Among them, the groups that support Nolen are centered around Bach and Fred.

"I thought you would stop this practical competition."

Bach sat next to Fred and looked at the test field below and said, "Slok's strength cannot be underestimated. If the result is determined by actual combat, it is not safe for us."

Slok just now publicly challenged Nolen, and Nolen himself would certainly not be able to refuse.

But Fred can forcefully intervene as a legendary alchemist and refute Slok's actual battle as meaningless.

At this time, on the side of the training ground.

After getting ready, she walked to the middle of the testing field, where the referee and her opponent were already waiting for her.

"Not only that, I will put all these equipment in the venue. If there is a chance, you can also temporarily change weapons during the battle."

This is an extremely burly man who is two meters tall. He is wearing thick black plate armor, carrying a strange-shaped steel backpack, and his head is also covered by a helmet with a visor. It's impossible to see his true face.

It is too loose to decide the birth of a legend in this way.

This shows that Nolen's research in this area is already extremely advanced, and his chances of winning against Slok are not low.

As for how to make good use of these weapons, it depends on Yuna's ability to adapt to the situation.

In this case, he also wanted to see with his own eyes what the magic of these new alchemical weapons made by Nolen was.

"Of course." Bach thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, "Maybe you are right."

"I see."

However, before the competition, they had been tested with instruments by the referee. In terms of their own magic strength, they were indeed sixth-order knights.

According to intelligence, Nolen's maid was the seventh-level mage killed with a new alchemical weapon.

"I believe you." Nolen said, "You can choose any weapon you want.

"Or...Bach, you are not confident that Nolen can defeat Slok?"

Coupled with the knight's sword slung on her left waist, this is the weapon she is currently using.

From magic guns, magic beam cannons, Gangnir, to glass shields, steel nail guns, and even alchemy props such as liberation potions and suppression potions.

And, is the White Raven, who can easily kill a seventh-level mage, really as strong as rumored?

His weapon is a two-meter-long sword, whose blade is even wider than Yuna's body.

Fred said slowly, "If you want to become the youngest legendary alchemist in the history of the empire, especially during the current civil war in the empire, he will definitely suffer more doubts and criticism than before.

He had just asked the referee for instructions. Because the purpose of this competition was to test the performance of alchemical weapons, these weapons were allowed to be placed on the field for the contestants to use freely.

I definitely cannot bring all these dazzling arrays of equipment.

“So he needs a stepping stone to make everyone clearly realize that he has the strength to match the legend. From this point of view, Slok is undoubtedly a good test subject.

Yuna had already taken off her maid skirt and put on a white combat uniform. Aisha was helping her put on the Valkyrie equipment flying wing type.

Nolen said solemnly, "They are well prepared, and there is a high probability that they will be difficult to deal with. Do not take it lightly during the battle, and there is no need to be merciful."

When the alchemy weapons they had made before were transported from Linfeng City a few days ago, Luo Zhen and Ai Xia also followed the convoy to Flamel.

The referee told them several precautions and then said, "...Are you ready?"

“Becoming a legend like this is not a good thing in the long run, either for the empire or for Nolen himself.

Yuna paused for a moment before choosing to equip the glazed shield and steel nail musket first, and fixed a magic musket on her lower back.

On the one hand, they are the escorts of these equipments, on the other hand, they have always wanted to visit this holy city of alchemists, and this opportunity just fulfilled their wish.

……

In fact, he was also looking forward to this competition.

“If we don’t make his reputation known today, even if we protect him and send him out, he won’t be recognized by everyone.

“After all, the civil war will eventually end, and once the standard of legend is lowered, it will be difficult to become the benchmark in everyone’s mind.

"Yuna, your opponent this time is likely to be a well-equipped and physically powerful knight."

When the two stood together, their body shapes compared to those of an adult and a baby. The gap was so huge that one doubted. Are these really extraordinary beings of the same level?

"If you want to wear its crown, you must bear its weight."

Because there are many factors that determine the outcome of an actual battle, the alchemy weapons prepared by the alchemist for the contestants may not be the main factor in the victory.

However, the battle between high-level transcendental beings is extremely fast-paced, and the act of changing weapons is a big flaw in itself.

Yuna moved the joints of her body, then looked at the row of equipment in front of her, "What weapon should I use to fight this time?"

"...This competition adheres to the principle of friendly communication. When one party admits defeat or loses combat effectiveness, it is prohibited to continue to pursue the other party, and the competition will end immediately..."

"Ah."

Yuna lowered her gaze to meet her opponent and nodded slightly.

Friendly communication principles?

The plate-armored knight's beast-like scarlet pupils hidden in the gaps in his faceplate reveal undisguised murderous intent. Did you really feel nothing next to him?

This is no ordinary competition, but a duel where the honor of both sides is at stake.

The plate knight also nodded silently, and immediately the two of them took ten steps back. The referee left the testing field, and a translucent magic barrier rose up at the edge of the field.

"Boom-"

The next moment, a strong drum beat sounded outside the venue.

Taking the sound of drums as a signal, the two people on the field moved at the same time.

Yuna jumped back and quickly flew upward and backward, while the plate-armored knight sank.

"boom!"

As his feet pushed hard on the ground, the ground sunken and made a muffled sound. With this explosive force, his whole body turned into an afterimage, crashing towards Yuna like an unstoppable armored chariot!

The distance of twenty steps passed in an instant. He jumped up with a two-meter-long sword and struck Yuna on the head with the overwhelming momentum of a mountain. "Swift——"

Sensing the danger, the four-acceleration circle on Valkyrie's backpack was fully opened. Yuna interrupted the momentum of flying high and flew sideways to the ground, dodging the sword in time.

She retreated quickly, secretly surprised.

Wearing such heavy plate armor, I didn't expect the opponent's explosive speed to be so terrifying. This is simply not something that a sixth-level knight can do with his physical fitness!

Seeing her passing by his side, the plate armor knight's reaction was also swift.

He raised his arm and swung the two-meter-long sword into a huge death scythe, spinning towards Yuna with unparalleled momentum.

The attack range of this flying sword was too large. Yuna had no time to change her retreat trajectory, so she had to set up her glazed shield and assume the safest defensive posture.

The next moment, an unimaginable force penetrated the glazed shield and passed to her body.

Under the influence of a strong external force, the Valkyrie backpack lost its control ability at this moment. She was hit by the sword and flew dozens of meters away, almost falling to the edge of the test site!

At the critical moment, she adjusted her landing posture in mid-air and thrust the steel nail into the ground.

The flying wing thrusters restarted, and the boots brought up a string of sparks and smoke on the ground. Finally, Kankan stabilized his figure at the edge of the field.

Yuna only felt a slight sweetness in her throat. Even though she had made resistive movements, she was still shocked by this unreasonable force.

Exclamations rang out in the audience belatedly. After being hit from the front by the big sword, a huge and ferocious gap opened on the surface of the glazed shield.

But now is not the time to worry about the equipment, the plate armor knight is striding towards her.

Yuna forcibly suppressed the raging blood in her chest, and finally had time to fly into the air while being knocked several dozen meters away.

The plate knight jumped into the air, picked up the giant sword that fell on the ground, and then looked up to the sky.

But the first thing he saw was not Yuna's figure, but the increasingly larger shield-shaped black shadow in his field of vision.

This black shadow was the glazed shield thrown out by Yuna. The plate-armored knight slapped the glazed shield falling from the sky away with his left hand, but heard a soft "click" sound coming from behind him.

Flying into the air to limit the enemy's field of vision, breaking away from the enemy's lock, and launching a surprise attack from an unexpected angle - this is what Yuna is best at.

After using the glazed shield to attract the plate knight's attention for a moment, she took advantage of Valkyrie's high mobility to get around him. Then she pulled out the magic gun from her lower back with her left hand and quickly buckled it at him. trigger--

Fifth level fire spell: "Gathered Pyroblast"!

"boom!"

The moment the plate armor knight turned around, a violent explosion of fire exploded between the two of them.

Yuna's offensive was not over yet. In the smoke and dust of the explosion, she controlled Valkyrie to fly out.

The magic circle of "Charged Pyroblast" was still cooling down and could not be used continuously. She threw away the magic gun, took out the liberation potion from her arms and drank it, while raising the steel nail gun in the direction of the plate armor knight.

The tip of the steel nail gun folded down, and as she pulled the trigger, the gun body unfolded three layers of "acceleration" arrays, and a dazzling flame lit up at the muzzle!

"Fuck!"

A steel nail hit the vague figure of the plate-armored knight behind the smoke, and there was a metallic crisp sound from that direction after it hit the target.

Has any harm been done?

Yuna pressed the trigger continuously, and the bullet chamber of the steel nail gun rotated, shooting out all four steel nails prepared in one go.

Four steel nails hit her one after another, but before she could take a breath, the plate-armored knight broke free from the smoke.

He swung his sword at Yuna again, but the power of the attack remained unabated.

"Dong dong, dong dong——"

Under the fierce battle, Yuna's heart beat violently, a trace of blood flashed in her pupils, and the liberation potion began to take effect.

With the help of the liberation potion, she could clearly see the trajectory of the sword that was so fast that it left an afterimage, and she dodged the blow sideways.

She quickly climbed into the sky and distanced herself from the plate knight. Only then did she notice her opponent's current state.

Being hit continuously by the "Charged Fire Explosion" and the steel nails of the steel nail gun, his thick black plate armor was only slightly dented and scorched on the surface.

This shows that this set of plate armor has extremely high resistance to spell damage and physical attacks. Thanks to this, the plate armor knight itself did not suffer any damage.

Can't penetrate armor...

She frowned and thought about what to do.

Generally, to deal with a heavily armed knight, you may be able to use a sword to stab the gap between the plate armor to cause real damage.

But unlike ordinary heavy-armed knights who are bloated and slow, his speed and strength are extremely exaggerated. Even if he drinks the liberation potion, he may still not be his opponent in a head-on battle.

If you rashly engage in close combat, you will only be in danger.

I don't know what the alchemist did to him. His physical strength is at an excellent level even if you look at the seventh level.

Coupled with the special plate armor protection like an iron wall, most of his attack methods can't even break through the defense. I didn't feel so frustrated when I fought against three seventh-level mages!

After all, the assault equipment only restrains the mage, and there is really not much room for performance in front of this physical monster.

We have to find a way to break the situation...

Just as Yuna was thinking about countermeasures, the plate armor knight on the ground moved.

Slok also prepared other weapons for him. He took out a dark golden longbow from his weapon rack.

The size of the longbow is extremely exaggerated. Its length of 1.6 meters can only be controlled by a giant knight like him who is more than two meters tall.

The matching arrows are as thick as an adult's arm. This is a super hunting bow that can be used to shoot high-level monsters!

The plate-armored knight picked up his bow and nocked an arrow. At the same time, a strange sound came from inside the steel backpack behind him.

This backpack is actually his medicine bag, which contains a complete set of medicines prepared by Slok for him.

These medicines are contained in syringes. When the mechanism in the plate armor is touched, the medicines in these syringes will be injected into his body.

Intramuscular injection takes effect faster than oral administration. The plate-armored knight exhaled a long white breath. He stared at the target in the sky indifferently, and immediately pulled the bowstring of the super hunting bow little by little.

Being locked by the plate knight, Yuna felt a chill running down her back. She noticed that her opponent had suddenly become stronger.

Under the influence of the drug, the terrifying physical strength just now was not the limit of this plate armor knight?

This is not the level of sixth-level combat intensity. A seventh-level extraordinary battle is probably nothing more than this!

Valkyrie's flying speed is here. In a battle of this intensity, even she is not confident that she can dodge the opponent's shots.

The sky was no longer safe, and she made a quick decision not to dodge, but to rush towards the ground.

Although he has been at a disadvantage since the beginning of the battle, he does not have no chance of winning.

There is actually a weapon used against plate armor knights. It was once a powerful dragon-hunting weapon. Although it was later proven to be only moderately effective against humans, it was just right for use on this fleshly monster at this time.

Her eyes glanced at her weapon rack, where a slender long-barreled sniper rifle was placed -

Its name is the smoothbore sniper-type magic cannon "Gangnir".
