my armed maid

Chapter 121 Chapter 118: We are the same kind

After counting all kinds of equipment, only the dragon-hunting weapon Gangnir can tear apart the plate armor knight's defense and give it a sure blow.

This was her only way to turn defeat into victory in this battle.

Having read this, Yuna swooped down from the air and was about to go to her weapon rack to exchange for weapons.

At this moment, the plate armor knight shot an arrow that he had aimed at for a long time.

This super hunting bow can only be opened when the plate armor knight takes drugs, and its power is no different from that of a siege weapon.

The arrow left the string, leaving the sonic boom behind in an instant, and flew towards Yuna in the air with thunderous momentum.

At the same time as the arrow was shot, Yuna suddenly changed its flight path as if she had no idea, and drew a C shape in the air.

"Soon-"

The next moment, the arrow passed her by, and the strong wind from the side stung her cheek.

The arrow hit the spell barrier at the edge of the test field straight. With a "buzz" sound, centered on the hit point of the arrow tip, fierce ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of the barrier.

Want to fall back to the ground? Birds in the sky, this is not the place for you!

The big sword whizzed towards the weapon rack. If you insist on grabbing the weapon, there is no doubt that you will be cut in half by the big sword together with the weapon.

Six "acceleration" arrays quickly unfolded from the barrel, and with a "boom", large-caliber steel nails roared out from the bright flames of the muzzle.

This is a two-meter sniper that is longer than the long-barreled magic cannon that was destroyed just now. It is the smoothbore sniper-type magic cannon "Gangnir"!

That's right, the weapon destroyed by the sword just now was actually a magic beam cannon. She did not fly directly in the direction of Gangnir's weapon rack at first, in order to interfere with the judgment of the plate armor knight.

And she used this inertial thinking to deceive the plate knight's sword, and finally succeeded in holding Gangnir in her hand.

At the speed of the arrow, if she waited for it to shoot out before reacting, even she would not have time to dodge.

This is a magic barrier that can withstand seventh-level attacks!

With the help of Slok, a sixth-level knight was able to destroy this spell barrier head-on! ?

As expected of a man who almost became a legendary alchemist, his alchemical results are indeed quite outstanding.

Needless to say, this must be a powerful alchemical weapon that may pose a threat to herself, and she must be stopped.

The momentum of the charge could no longer be stopped, and the shots in front of him were unavoidable. The plate-armored knight roared, and simply rammed his shoulders without stopping, trying to resist the power of the steel nails head-on with his thick shoulder armor.

Seeing that Yuna was about to get the weapon and it was too late to draw the bow, the plate armor knight picked up the big sword on the side and repeated his trick, throwing it out like a dart. At the same time, he followed closely and strode towards Yuna. Come.

The plate-armored knight lowered his hunting bow. He saw Yuna taking advantage of the opportunity to fly to the weapon rack aside, reaching out to grab one of the weapons.

The Guards Armor Type II, which was supposed to be invincible at this level, was actually penetrated, and his own knight fell to the ground under the opponent's shelling.

There was also a weapon rack where she dodged in the opposite direction. She threw away the steel spike and took the opportunity to grab the weapon on the weapon rack.

To be able to dodge this lightning-fast arrow, Yuna has proven with actual actions that the Valkyrie jetpack can fully participate in battles between high-level transcendent beings!

Then, amid the exclamations of everyone present, the magic barrier in this area, after dissipating all the power of the arrow, shattered into pieces and dissipated in the air.

Of course, the performance of Nolen's personal flying device also exceeded everyone's expectations.

"Guards Armor Type II", this is his proud work that has just been improved recently.

No matter how strong his body was, he couldn't bear the steel nails rolling and tearing inside his body. His forward momentum stopped, and he stumbled backwards, falling heavily to the ground.

Yuna stopped and dodged in the opposite direction. The next moment, the sword hit the weapon rack and unreasonably destroyed a long-barreled magic cannon on it.

The large-caliber steel nails in the gun barrel of Ganggnir had been pre-loaded. Yuna pointed the black muzzle at the plate armor knight speeding towards her and pulled the trigger without any hesitation.

All the attacks from his opponent just now did no harm to him, and the first weapon she wanted to change was also destroyed by him. He didn't believe that this weapon could give him a fatal blow!

And with the other party's petite body, once he can get close smoothly, she will be a piece of fish on the chopping board!

However, Gangnir's shooting speed was still one step faster than him after all.

Of course, as a price for its super defensive power, this armor is extremely heavy. Only high-level knights who have undergone his body modification surgery can use it freely.

I actually missed it...

Only by anticipating his attack movements in advance could she dodge such a fast shot.

"What!?"

At the same time, the plate armor knight also charged to Yuna, only five steps away. A fist blade had popped out from the wrist guard of his left hand, and he could reach the enemy in front of him——

Gungnir's shooting speed is faster than the normal magic gun's formation speed, because the "acceleration" it carries is only a second-level spell, not a high-level spell.

Even if Nolen's talent and research results are genuine, he has only been studying alchemy for a few years. Can he create a new alchemical weapon with eight levels of attack strength so quickly?

In the audience, Slok suddenly stood up and stared in horror at the slender mysterious alchemical weapon in Yuna's hand.

Yuna narrowly dodged the arrow, not because she relaxed her vigilance. From the beginning to the end, she had been concentrating on observing every move of the plate knight.

Like a can opener, the steel nail dug a terrifying hole in his shoulder armor, then penetrated his left arm, broke through his side armor, and finally pierced his side.

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Although this is the case in theory, the fact he sees now is——

Seeing that the weapon she was about to get was destroyed, Yuna's expression remained calm, everything was going according to plan.

This thought flashed through my mind, and the next moment——

According to tests, the armor is almost completely immune to spells and physical damage below high level, and only attacks close to the eighth level can cause significant damage to it.

Therefore, her attention was not on the arrow, but on the right hand of the plate armor knight pulling the string.

The large-diameter steel nails roared and hit the shoulder armor, and the sharp sound of steel tearing stayed in his ears for a moment. Before he could react, his vision began to tilt.

Anyone would think that the weapon they want to switch to after they are at their wits end must be the strongest and most threatening weapon.

Without a trace of waste, the kinetic energy of the armor-piercing bullet was completely released within his body.

There is no doubt that the body-modified knight plus the second type of Guards armor, and at the same time supplemented by the support of alchemy potions, this configuration is undoubtedly a dimensionality reduction blow in a sixth-level battle.

As long as the plate knight's right hand is ready to release the string, it is the moment for him to launch an attack.

He has actually invented an alchemical weapon of this strength...

With such a fast research and development speed, is this the gap between himself and the real legendary alchemist?

On the testing ground, Yuna did not take it lightly because of the fall of the plate knight. Even if she was hit directly by a large-diameter steel nail, she could sense that the opponent in front of her was still alive.

The only instruction Nolen gave her was to show no mercy, so she did not hesitate or wait for the referee's announcement.

After one shot was fired, she threw away Gungnir and rushed towards the plate knight. At the same time, she drew out the knight's sword from her waist and was about to give him the final blow.

She stepped on the chest of the plate-armored knight, and the tip of the sword with a cold light was about to fall.

At this moment, the plate knight suddenly moved.

His right hand grabbed Yuna's ankle, and at the same time he pushed up his upper body, almost breaking free from Yuna's suppression.

Under the stimulation of the strong drug effect, even though his organs had been twisted into paste by steel nails, he still had the strength to fight back when he was dying!

"Jie Jie—"

The plate-armored knight gasped and let out a weird laugh that didn't sound like a human voice. His bloodshot and ferocious red eyes were like the incarnation of a demon crawling out of hell. Just looking at it gave people a chilling sense of fear.

After grabbing Yuna's ankle, his right hand suddenly exerted force, preparing to break the opponent's slender calf into two pieces.

But suddenly, he noticed something was wrong with his hand.

The girl's legs were supposed to be composed of flesh, blood and bones, but when he started to pull them apart, he found that her legs were as hard as iron and he couldn't move them for a while!

"Have you had enough trouble?"

Yuna's eyes were cold, and she stabbed the sword blade at the gap in his faceplate with an expressionless expression.

Under the influence of the liberation potion, a shocking blood-red color appeared in the depths of her pupils. The moment before the sword tip struck, the plate knight's ferocious red eyes looked into the girl's bloody pupils. He seemed to have some realization in his heart, and couldn't help but let out a hoarse laugh:

“Haha, you also underwent body modification!

"It turns out we are the same kind..."

"Pfft-"

Before he finished speaking, the sword blade pierced his eyes and penetrated his head, leaving his unfinished words forever in his throat.

Yuna was silent, she looked down at her right leg.

Under the strange force of the plate armor knight, her ankle had been obviously deformed, but she did not feel any pain.

This is natural, because this is not his real leg, just his prosthetic leg.

"Same kind...?"

She lifted up the plate knight's mask and saw his true face.

I don’t know what he went through. His face is weird and terrifying, and his head is covered with large and small postoperative wounds and scars. He looks very ferocious.

This is the price of his strength.

"The competition is over!"

It was only then that the referee's voice sounded in the testing venue. The audience came to their senses and saw shock in each other's eyes.

With the help of alchemy, this duel, which was originally a sixth-level knight, actually reached a level close to the eighth-level intensity!

As Slok, who originally had the ability to become a legendary alchemist, the knights he designed with plate armor and body transformation were indeed impeccable in terms of combat performance.

After defeating Slok's knights head-on, the performance of the new alchemy weapons displayed by Nolen in this battle convinced everyone.

The Valkyrie backpack, a personal flying device that can compete with high-level knights without falling behind;

As well as the sniper-type magic cannon Gangnir that can penetrate the "Guards Armor Type II" frontally...

There is more than one of these disruptive and practical research results, and they have all proven their reliability in this test.

At this point, no one has any reason to oppose him becoming a legendary alchemist.

"Now that the competition is over, let's go back and vote." Bach stood up and announced to everyone with a smile.

Although the process was a bit thrilling, Nolen still lived up to his expectations and defeated Slok.

Judging from this battle, the potential of the new rune system was beyond his imagination, and it was indeed the right choice to form an alliance with him.

Amid the commotion, everyone returned to the venue and began the final voting session.

"Where is Master Slok? He hasn't come back yet?"

The people in the Second Prince's camp looked at each other, and Slok was the representative of their camp.

"He seemed to have left directly..." Someone saw him just now.

"So what do we do now? What reasons should we use to vote no?"

"...Vote abstain. Slok is gone and there is nothing we can do."

"Yes, there is nothing we can do about it. I don't think His Highness will blame us for this."

In the face of the indisputable research results, the voting ended and the judges began to count votes in front of everyone.

"There were 306 votes in total, including 205 votes in favor, zero votes against, and 101 abstentions."

After a while, Bach stood on the stage with the voting results and said loudly, "Excluding abstentions, the yes votes accounted for 100% of all votes.

"Based on this result, I would like to announce on behalf of the Alchemy Society that Master Nolen Visches passed the examination——

"He will become the new legendary alchemist of the Roland Empire!"

Bach's voice echoed in the spacious venue, and the audience burst into warmer and more enthusiastic applause than before.

Nolen and Bach stood side by side, smiling and bowing to everyone. Although he was happy in his heart, he didn't say much.

Everything happened naturally. Rather than saying that he finally achieved the right result after all the hard work, it would be better to say that he just achieved the achievement that he just happened to get in Flamel.

Calm down, man, there are still many big scenes in the future!

After the announcement of the result, there was an investiture ceremony. Bach personally wore the Ouroboros badge of the legendary alchemist's special style on him, followed by a bunch of arrogant remarks.

Nolen waited on the stage with a smile on his face for a long time, and finally waited until the press conference officially ended.

Watching everyone in the audience begin to leave one after another, Bach breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Nolen and smiled: "Congratulations again to you for becoming a legendary alchemist.

"There are many people who can't wait to get to know you. The society will hold a celebration banquet for you later. You can have a good chat with those big guys there and expand your own social circle."

"No time." Nolen shook his head, "I have more important things to do later, have you forgotten?"

"You mean the human body refining ceremony?" Bach was stunned for a moment, "Of course I remember this, but there is no need to be in such a hurry..."

Halfway through, he saw that Nolen's expression did not waver, and he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "Okay, let's postpone the banquet for now. I will help you arrange the human body training first."

"Thank you." Nolen's face softened a little, "Please forgive me for being willful, I have been thinking about this matter these past few days."

"You're welcome." Bach waved his hand, "Can the legendary alchemist be called willful? That's called personality!"

After saying hello, he went back to arrange the ceremony.

Nolen breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the rest area next to the stage, and asked Julius at the side: "Where is Yuna?"

"She's sitting there." Julius pointed to the seat next to her. "Her feet were slightly broken in the battle just now, so it's not very convenient for her to move."

Nolen followed the guidance and saw that Yuna had changed back into a maid outfit and was sitting quietly on a chair looking at him.

Due to the aftereffects of the liberation potion, her face was slightly pale, giving her a girlish fragility.

"Nolen..."

Seeing him coming over, Yuna's expression felt a little aggrieved for a moment, but then she smiled again, "Congratulations on becoming a legendary alchemist!"

"Isn't this thanks to you?"

Nolen sat down next to her and said with a smile, "I heard that your leg was injured. We are just waiting for the human body refining ceremony. You can remove this broken pair of prostheses and have a pair of real legs again!"

Nolen said, thinking that Yuna would be happy about this, but she unexpectedly hesitated.

"Actually... the prosthetic limb can be used again after some repairs."

She lowered her head and said softly, "I think this prosthetic limb is great. It might be more convenient for me..."

In battle, prosthetics are often more useful than real legs. If the plate knight just grabbed her real legs, things might become very troublesome.

And, until now, she has not forgotten what the plate knight said to her before he died.

"We are the same kind..."

He is a warrior of Slok, and in order to fight better, he was eventually transformed into something neither human nor ghost.

And she is Norn's maid and Norn's warrior.

Maybe for me, in order to protect the people I want to protect, it is the best choice to follow the same path as him... isn't it?
