Knight and Wand

Chapter 341 Draw the sword and kill the snake.

Among the abstract lines and outlines of everything around him, only the pair of starry eyes were clearly visible in Leon's cognition.

He would never forget those eyes that transcended worldly description.

The virtual image in front of me is the Lady Aphrodite from thousands of years ago! ?

However, when Leon came into contact with these eyes containing extraordinary magic, he noticed that Aphrodite's figure suddenly stopped.

"I see." She murmured vaguely.

Inexplicably, Leon felt as if he was being stared at by these eyes.

"What?" The tall giant phantom asked Aphrodite's self-talk.

"No, it's nothing."

The lady's voice echoed in the remnants of thousands of years ago, and there was comfort in her gentle words.

Her silhouette raised her hand tentatively in front of the magic circle.

Then he let it go as if relieved, walked slowly across the magic pattern under his feet, and left in the long time.
Seeing the outline of Aphrodite completely disappear, Leon looked again at the unusually tall giant figure in front of him.

A contemporary figure who can hold the Holy Sword of the Sun and talk to Lady Aphrodite.

The identity of this giant-like man is obvious.

The ancestor of the Drakmar bloodline, the Dusk Knight Gervin.

The giant silhouette turned around and walked towards the stone base from the big circle where Ines was standing. He raised his hand and inserted the phantom outline of the Holy Sword of the Sun back into the ceremonial base.

The outlines of the holy sword in different time and space gradually overlapped.

"I hope to meet you again in my dreams, mother."

After returning the holy sword, Gelven lowered his head and his voice sounded like a prayer.

His figure dissipated like smoke as the holy sword returned to its place.

In an instant, sun-like light bloomed from the surface of the Holy Sword in Stone. Under the reflection of the light curtain, the only distinguishable outline of the surrounding courtyard was that all material entities were re-endowed with colors that could be recognized by ordinary senses.

The light refracted from the essence of matter can be recognized by the human eye again, and the signals transmitted to the brain reconstruct a recognizable image.

The Holy Sword Courtyard, which has gained "color", is like an isolated island floating in the void of time and space.

Leon's frozen body moved slightly, and he realized that he had regained the ability to move.

The same thing happened to Ines in front of her. The girl raised her eyes and looked around in surprise and doubt at the strange environment that was beyond ordinary people's cognition.

"Are we back?" Ines' confused voice seemed not to be transmitted through the air, but directly reflected in Leon's consciousness, echoing clearly.

Although the girl was a little hesitant about the terrifying scene before her that seemed like something from the legend of a cursed land, she was still cautious and did not step out of the large circle of the magic ritual under her feet.

Leon couldn't help but look down at the Gungnir in his hand that was originally connected to the magic system.

His own spellcasting link had long been disconnected from this great magic ritual, and he could feel the magic element in his body, which had actually filled his circulatory system during the time reversal just now, and now he no longer felt any discomfort.

What’s even more amazing is that in this extraordinary realm, every movement of the body seems to be without inertia or force barriers. It is hard to describe this strange feeling that feels like moving in a vacuum, yet more “vacuum” than a vacuum.

Temporarily putting aside the unnecessary curiosity in his heart, Leon picked up his wand and walked out of the circle under his feet.

This magic has been activated to the point where it is running on its own, and it is not my own magic power that maintains its existence.

He walked past Ines and came to the stone foundation under her gaze.

Leon glanced at the glowing and hot solar magic pattern on the back of his hand, and his intuition prompted him to stretch out his five fingers and grasp the hilt of the sword without hesitation.

This time, I felt almost no effort.

The source that anchors time and space was pulled up from the stone foundation with incredible ease - an indescribable feeling of falling came from the depths of the soul, and the strings of all things trembled slightly as they fell from the void.

When the blade was completely pulled out by Leon
The long-lost sound waves suddenly reached the ears of Leon and Ines.

That is--

The sound of the magic bullet whistling through the air!
Without having time to observe the environment, Leon instantly took a step and turned around, using his body to protect Ines.

Strong wind!!
Magic power poured out, and the atmosphere was bombarded with a vortex of wind rising from the blade of Gungnir.

Large areas of the floor in the Holy Sword Courtyard were shattered by the impact of the wind hammer, and the collision and explosion of the atmosphere and heat elements caused stones and rammed earth to soar into the sky.

A loud noise pierced the night sky and echoed throughout the inner courtyard of the palace.

"?what happened?"

Before he could even be surprised that Baron Avalon still had the magic to fight back, Vizmara, his robe and armor shaking, glanced coldly across the courtyard.

Why did the magic pattern light curtain in the Holy Sword Courtyard disappear?

In just a blink of an eye, the ancient secret ritual that he and Mette had finally activated partially suddenly went out. Did Baron Avalon find a way to shut down the ancient magic in just a moment? ?
A chill ran through Vizmara's heart.

He knew that without the influence of magic, wouldn't everyone in the palace who was connected to the ceremony be affected?

"Don't look around! Kill him!!! We still have a chance!"

The hissing sound of the giant snake coiling and Mette's shouting made Vizmara react immediately.

The master sorcerer swung his wand, and overlapping magic patterns quickly opened up in front of him. Magic bullet stars shining with dangerous light gathered at full speed at each launching end of the magic patterns.

But in a flash, doubt appeared in his eyes.

In the blink of an eye, Baron Avalon and Princess Ines changed into new clothes from somewhere.

The smoke and dust in the sky were blown away by the bloody wind from the attacking giant beast.

Looking up at the giant snake rushing towards him, a familiar memory came to his mind, and murderous intent filled the depths of Leon's black eyes.

It wasn't just anger at the fact that he almost ended up parting ways with Olivia.

Thinking back to what Mette had said before, that they became enemies because of misunderstanding, it now seemed to him like complete nonsense.

No matter which fate he chooses, this sorcerer who secretly commits inhuman atrocities and uses forbidden spells is his mortal enemy.

I have already killed him once as a ranger.

——Now let’s kill him again!
He raised his hand and turned the Holy Sun Sword, which did not have enough magic power to drive it, into a flash of light.

The next moment, a bright blue light appeared in Leon's eyes.

The spellcasting skills from another destiny seemed a little unfamiliar to the perception that had not yet been familiar with the body memory. Perhaps it was far from enough to reproduce the instinctive speed when fighting Olivia, but against these two northern warlocks who he already knew well——!
His body and Gungnir turned into flying thunder, and the sharp blade of the magic spear followed the trajectory of Hydra's sword.

The nine-headed dragons roaring with thunder penetrated the curtain of the Ocean of Probability and descended upon the world again. The originally ferocious and terrifying giant snakes looked like tiny reptiles under the huge virtual images of the dragons.

Two leaps in the air collided, "Yuanni" and "Yueleng", intersecting each other and transforming into the giant jaws of a thunder dragon that bit off the giant snake's head.

The flying lightning spear blade reached in front of Mette before he could react, piercing through him and triggering his defensive magic.

One strike caused the honeycomb-shaped magic patterns on Rodoya's solid wall to fly backwards, and the collision of condensed magic power knocked Mette's body into the air.

Faced with the unreasonably fast lightning, Mette was horrified and waved his wand to activate the spiritual spell in his magic wand.

A huge and gorgeous magic pattern appeared below, and a giant snake head covered with thorns and scales emerged from the magic circle, opening its mouth to swallow Mette and Leon together.

However, the spinning Gungnir drew the trajectory of the earth sickle, and Leon had already flown behind the warlock with arcs of electricity bursting all over his body.

The magic spear's wing blade burst into flames, and the molten flame spear blade swung down to cut through the sky.

Metna was not as powerful as the venerable body of the wizard Atias, and was unable to hinder him at all. Gungnir's aerial slash split his head and cut the warlock's body in two from the top of the head to the crotch.

The body of the giant snake summoned by magic turned into scattered dots of light.

——The two halves of the corpse fell from the air, and the broken sections were burned by the gun blade attached to the molten flame, without a trace of blood.

Landing on the ground at the same time as the corpse, Leon raised his magic spear and stared directly at the warlock master who had just managed to turn the direction of his magic in horror.

Staring from afar at Mette's remains which had been torn into pieces after just a few breaths of fighting, Vizmara tightly grasped his wand, and in deep confusion he dared not release a volley of condensed magic bullets. Only an inextricable suspicion remained in his heart.

What happened in the end?
How did Baron Avalon, who was originally at the end of his rope, suddenly possess such powerful strength?

Was everything before just a disguise? If he had such force, why would he play tricks on the two of them?

"I will only give you one chance. Release your magic power and tie your arms. I will spare your life and hand you over to the king for judgment."

Leon raised his gun blade and stepped towards the other party.

He did not take action immediately because he thought that Vizmara had never been his enemy in his other life, but instead was one of his allies after he became the leader of the Warlock Society.

But now, they have no communication with each other. Faced with the warlock master who took the wrong path and colluded with the Atias people and almost killed himself and Ines, he had no reason to let him go.

The warlock couldn't help but sneer, glancing at the pit that was created when his magic and the opponent's magic collided.

"Leave it to the kid from the Hecha family? Now that things have come to this, you might as well just kill me and be done with it!"

Before he finished speaking, a volley of magic bullets made a sharp and piercing sound, and scattered towards him like a rain of comets.

The continuous explosions like artillery fire did not hit Leon, whose figure was flashing like an arc of electricity. The knight holding the magic spear turned into a thunder dragon and rushed over again.

Releasing the attack that had been pent up for a long time, Vizmara freed his hands for a moment, roared, and slammed the ground with his wand.

The tremendous magic power released with all its strength caused a violent shock, and the cracked ground in the courtyard began to collapse due to the earthquake.

When he noticed that the magic ritual had disappeared and the ground of the palace beneath his feet was not as solid as before, he knew that the magic was working.

He didn't expect that this war spell would be a threat to the powerful magic knights who could transform into thunder before him, but there were more than just the two of them present.

Ines, who had already escaped to the corner of the courtyard behind the statue of Gelvin, lost her footing during the earthquake and almost fell into a pit.

"--Ugh!" The girl reached out to grab the base of the statue before falling into the crack in the ground, but the heavy stone sculpture also overturned and collapsed into the crack as the earth shook.

Before Ines could utter a scream in panic, the scene in front of her eyes blurred, and she felt her body being lifted high into the air. In the blink of an eye, she was already outside the collapsed courtyard.

Curled up in Leon's arms, who cushioned her impact, Ines' rapid breathing had not yet calmed down. Looking at the collapsing scene in the Holy Sword Courtyard, she couldn't help but look up at Leon: "Don't worry about me, go chase the wizard~! Don't let him get away!"

Leon frowned
It was of course unrealistic to take Ines with him in pursuit, but he was even more worried about leaving the girl alone.

But before he hesitated for a few seconds, Leon suddenly relaxed his brows.

He looked up at the dense and gradually brightening flames in the distance. Even though he did not have as strong five senses as Olivia, he could hear from afar the noise gradually boiling around the inner courtyard of the palace.

There were bursts of sharp military whistles, loud alarm bells, deep trumpets, and the extremely angry shouts of the palace guards.

"Don't worry, he can't run away. I have to find reliable guards to protect you first, and then track down the enemy."

Ines opened her mouth, and seeing Leon's insistent eyes, she had no choice but to nod: "Okay."

Leon immediately raised his head and looked at several Pegasus knights holding torches flying low over the night sky, and he felt relieved.

Tens of thousands of guards who might have fallen into a coma due to ancient magic have woken up, and he finally doesn't have to fight alone.

Feeling the invisible Holy Sword of the Sun on his body, Leon couldn't help but sigh. By leaving the great magic that might have been created by Lady Aphrodite in the sword, had the Dusk Knight inadvertently done a terrible harm to his descendants?
Putting aside his emotions for the moment, Leon only hoped that he had successfully interrupted the enemy's original plan and that there would not be too many sacrifices in this turbulent night.

Holding Ines, who was as light as a kitten in his arms, Leon took a step and jumped high, leaping steadily over the courtyard destroyed by the earthquake magic, and ran in the direction where he could make the most footsteps of the guards.

On the path to the palace, the soles of Vizmara's boots engraved with magical patterns were glowing as the warlock master fled without any grace.

The moment he discovered that all the unconscious people in the palace were waking up, he knew that both those arrogant Atiyas people and his own sorcerers who were involved in this crazy action were doomed.

He had no chance to alert his companions who were accompanying Atias on the spy operation.

Not to mention the Baron of Avalon, who is so powerful that he seems like a completely different person.

At this moment, among the furious guards in the palace, the countless royal knights under Masakis were enough to chop a few sorcerers and apprentices into meat paste.

Fortunately, Baron Avalon is Princess Ines's lover and has a weak spot that can be exploited, otherwise he would have found it difficult to escape tonight.

His body was as fast as the wind, and he used shadow spells to hide his body and dodge several teams of guards. Although Vizmara gritted his teeth in hatred and wished he could kick Mette, who had turned into sliced ​​bread, twice, he knew that it was meaningless to regret now.

Only by escaping as soon as possible, he might still have a chance to get in touch with the Atias people and flee to the East Continent.
As he got closer and closer to the outskirts of the palace, he felt somewhat relieved to have survived the disaster, but the familiar and loud cry of an eagle startled Vizmara so much that he had to look up at the night sky.

With the help of night vision magic, he was able to see a griffin swooping down at low altitude.

——Earl of North?
This was his usual first reaction.

But the next moment, Vizmara suddenly remembered that Baron Avalon also had a griffin!
Did you catch up so quickly?
But isn't his griffin unable to enter the city due to the restricted airspace? ?
Vizmara was shocked to see the giant beast in the night sky heading straight towards him. He knew very well that the eyes of such a powerful creature were not afraid of the darkness of the night, so he had to hide in a corner and cast a spell to become invisible.

With a loud bang, the huge griffin flapped its wings and landed on the ground, and the strong wind subsided for a while.

The reins on the tall saddle were pulled lightly, and the knight's lance was pointed directly at the shadow where Vizmara was hiding.

A clear shout filled with murderous intent reached the ears of the warlock master.

"I can't see you, but I can hear your heartbeat and smell the blood on your body. That's the scent of my husband's blood."
