Being a knight is not easy

Chapter 57 Not Human

In this tense moment of battle, the next second, Raymond's body trembled slightly without any warning.

At first, Robin didn't take it too seriously, thinking it was just Raymond's normal reaction when facing danger.

But then, Raymond's eyes suddenly revealed a strange red light, which revealed endless bloodthirstiness and madness. A distorted expression also appeared on his face, as if he was controlled by some evil force.

Robin was shocked. He had been suspicious of Raymond from the beginning and always remained highly alert.

At this moment, seeing Raymond acting so strangely, he immediately realized that the situation was not good.

Almost at the moment when Raymond changed, Robin's brain worked rapidly and made a quick judgment.

When Raymond was slow to react due to his physical abnormality, Robin did not hesitate at all. With his agility and decisive decision, he quickly evacuated the battlefield.

He used the surrounding buildings and debris as cover and quickly moved away from Raymond.

At this moment, a creepy sound came from behind him. Robin looked back and saw that Raymond's body was undergoing a horrible mutation.

His limbs were on the ground, his body was twisted and deformed, his skin gradually became rough, and a layer of black scales grew on it. His original human appearance gradually disappeared, replaced by a terrifying half-human, half-beast monster.

The monster opened its bloody mouth, roared, and pounced towards Robin.

It moved at an extremely fast speed, leaving deep footprints wherever it passed.

Seeing this, Robin secretly groaned in his heart, "He is really not a human being."

After Raymond transformed into a monster, his speed was terrifying. He caught up with Robin in a few seconds.

The monster's limbs moved rapidly on the ground, splashing up dust and making a dull sound every time it kicked the ground.

Its body was like a black cannonball, rushing towards Robin madly with endless power and murderous intent.

Robin ran as fast as he could, his heart pounding in his chest and his clothes soaked with sweat.

In this tense atmosphere of chasing and running, his brain was working fast, always looking for ways to escape from the predicament.

Before he knew it, he found himself less than a kilometer away from the lord's castle.

Robin's eyes turned quickly, and a bold plan emerged in his mind. He decided to lead Raymond into the lord's castle.

He had just had a brief fight with Raymond. This monster was extremely powerful, far beyond the rank of an ordinary knight. Its terrifying strength was already infinitely close to that of a great knight. It was definitely not something he could deal with alone now.

There might be a turning point hidden in the lord's castle. The complex terrain and possible defensive facilities there might be the key to turning the tide of the battle.

Robin turned abruptly and sprinted towards the lord's castle.

Seeing this, Raymond roared and chased after him without hesitation.

Soon, they entered the territory of the lord's castle.

In the castle, there were only two old knights who still adhered to their duties, and stayed with a dozen young knight apprentices.

They heard the noise outside and just as they were about to intercept, Robin rushed over like a gust of wind.

At this moment, Robin's face was solemn, his breathing was rapid, his forehead was covered with sweat, but his eyes were full of determination.

He was being chased closely by the terrifying monster, Raymond. On all fours, his body twisted, he let out chilling roars. At breakneck speed, he was behind Robin in an instant, leaping high into the air and charging at him fiercely.

Robin sensed the situation quickly and rolled over on the spot, cleverly avoiding Raymond's fatal attack.

But when he dodged, he failed to stop in time and crashed directly into the castle guards.

For a moment, the scene was in complete chaos. The apprentice knights panicked, cried out in fear, and nearly dropped their weapons.

Although the two old knights were experienced, they were caught off guard by this sudden change.

Raymond took advantage of the situation and rushed into the crowd. He was extremely powerful and his movements were brutal. With a wave of his hand, several knight apprentices were knocked away, and screams rang out one after another.

Robin took advantage of Raymond being trapped among the guards and secretly rejoiced, knowing that this was a great opportunity for him to escape.

Without time to think, he exerted force on his feet, quickly fled the scene and ran towards the inside of the castle.

His figure flashed through the dim corridor of the castle and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Behind him, Raymond's roar, people's shouts and painful groans intertwined together, making it even more thrilling.

Robin fled to the terrace on the second floor of the castle, and the scene before him made his heart tighten.

The two old knights and the castle steward were in a stalemate with Raymond. The surroundings were a horrific sight, with fallen knight apprentices everywhere, their blood spreading on the ground, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

These apprentices who stayed behind in the castle were descendants of the knights of the territory. They were placed here to save their lives, but now they all fell here and their lives came to an abrupt end.

Robin looked at these young faces and only sneered in his heart.

On the battlefield, the situation became increasingly tragic.

Raymond was like a mad beast, with amazing strength and swift movements.

Although the castle steward tried his best, he was unable to fight back under Raymond's attack.

In the blink of an eye, Raymond grabbed the butler tightly, and then tore him into two halves. Blood splattered everywhere, and the scene was horrific.

Seeing this, the two old knights' eyes were filled with grief and anger. They looked at each other, and at the same time, one on the left and one on the right, thrust their spears into Raymond's body.

Raymond felt pain and let out a deafening roar. The roar was filled with endless pain and anger, making the air around him buzz.

Then, it turned suddenly, and its sharp claws slashed across the necks of the two old knights like lightning.

The two old knights widened their eyes, still showing the resentment of having failed to complete their mission, and slowly fell down.

Robin stood on the terrace, looking at the bloody scene in front of him, feeling mixed emotions.

Robin witnessed this scene. Without any hesitation, he quickly raised the pulley compound bow, drew the bow and shot the arrow in one go, his movements as fast as lightning.

The bowstring vibrated rapidly in his hand, and five feather arrows flew out one after another, with a sharp sound of wind, like five black lightning, heading straight for Raymond.

The first arrow hit Raymond's left shoulder blade, the arrowhead penetrated deeply, and blood splattered.

Immediately afterwards, the second arrow hit its right thigh, causing its originally swift movement to slow down.

The third arrow hit the side of Raymond's neck accurately, leaving a bloody mark and weakening its attack momentum.

The fourth arrow pierced its abdomen, and the terrifying force caused Raymond's body to lean back slightly.

The fifth arrow hit its left eye. With a shrill scream, Raymond's body began to shake, and the originally crazy red light dimmed a little.

Five feather arrows hit Raymond's five vital points accurately.

This series of attacks was carried out in one go without any delay.
