Flame Arrow!

A beam of light shot out from Linsel's left palm, targeting the cultist disciple to Karina's left.

The flaming arrow struck the enemy's head, igniting his hood and causing his two sword strikes to miss their mark, leaving him sprawled on the ground.

Linsset gripped his longsword again with both hands and slashed at the enemy lying on the ground.

Brand's sword, like a guillotine, slashed three times across the cultist's back, piercing through his leather armor, causing blood to gush out and leaving three extremely long wounds.

The flames on the opponent's hood intensified, accompanied by whimpering screams. After struggling a couple of times, the opponent went still.

While Linsel was dealing with the fallen cultists, the two cultists in front of the female knight continued to swing their swords, giving Karina no chance to catch her breath and forcing her to focus on using her shield to defend herself.

Meanwhile, the cultist disciple on the right reappeared on the side, his aura fierce. In the brief moment between his knife attacks on Karina, he used his body weight and temporarily enhanced strength to press down on her.

Karina was caught off guard and used her right hand to parry the cultist's attack with half a sword. However, she was caught off guard by the opponent's physical pressure and instantly lost her balance, falling to the ground.

The two cultists directly in front seized the opportunity, their twin blades flashing slightly as they slashed at Karina, who was lying on the ground, with incredible speed, striking her repeatedly through her long chainmail.

The chainmail ultimately couldn't withstand the dozen or so rapid sword strikes enhanced by the opponent's combat skills, and it was torn in several places, becoming a mangled mess.

The enemy's blade continued to penetrate deeper into the soft armor worn by the female knight, causing considerable damage.

Karina let out a few muffled groans, persevering, while another cultist straddled her legs, his twin swords poised to slash at the female knight's neck.

At this critical moment, Lindsay's Brand sword suddenly slashed across him from the side.

The cultist already knew that his companion had been killed by Lindsay, but he did not stop it. Instead, he focused on attacking the female knight with his two other disciples.

After all, he believed that the knight in front posed a greater threat than the wolf-skin boy behind him.

He was therefore prepared and dodged Lindsay's strike by tilting his head down.

However, Lindsay had already switched his Brand sword to his right hand after the swing, and flames generated in his left palm shot forward, directly hitting the cultist's face!

The flaming arrow ignited the cultist's hood, setting it ablaze. The cultist fell to the ground, dropping his weapon, and attempted to remove the hood.

Linsel ignored the enemy for the time being and immediately slashed at the two enemies who were ravaging Karina with their cleavers, forcing them to give up their attack.

The two cultists quickly parried with their twin swords, but were forced back a step by the long-handled sword. Lindsay then stepped over the female knight and continued to slash at the enemy with his two transforming swords.

One cultist stood in front of his companion to block Lindsay's attack, while another dodged to the side to disengage, intending to launch a two-pronged attack, just as he had done with the female knight Karina.

Lindsay was prepared for this pincer attack tactic. He changed the way he gripped the Brand sword, holding it horizontally with both hands, and used the distance advantage of the weapon to slash horizontally.

The cultist on the side cried out in pain as the long-handled sword sliced ​​through the leather armor that had been previously pierced in his chest, and blood gushed from the wound.

"Roar!"

The cultist in front reacted quickly when he saw his companion fall to the ground, shouting as he seized the opportunity to strike with his twin swords.

[Danger Perception]!

Linsset immediately dodged backward, and the attack launched by his opponent during this opening missed.

Undeterred, the enemy regained his balance, brandishing two machetes in front of him, and closed in once more.

Linsel had become increasingly skilled at using the fire arrows. He placed his left hand in front of him, and the fire arrow exploded instantly in front of him. Then, he turned his body from right to left and swung the Brand sword in his right hand to the left.

Although this strike was a single-handed grip, the force generated by the body's momentum was similar to that of a two-handed grip.

The explosion of the flaming arrow disrupted the enemy's vision, and Lindsay seized the opportunity to slash at the enemy's side with his longsword, knocking him to the ground.

Karina had already stood up again. She was panting heavily, and immediately used her half-sword to slash at the cultist who had just fallen to the ground and removed his burning hood.

With a single sword stroke, he beheaded the man, ending his life.

It took less than three minutes from the moment the four cult members charged in to the victory.

"it's over."

Linsel checked the panel and, after confirming that all four cult disciples had been killed, approached Karina.

[Karina, Human, Level 4 Warrior, Health: 54/120, Armor: 396/520 (Chestplate Armor, Long Chainmail, Closed Face Helmet), Medium Torso Wound]

He looked at the female knight's back and sides, her chainmail shattered and her soft armor torn open, along with the several shocking wounds, and felt somewhat puzzled.

Logically speaking, such a wound should be enough to cause massive bleeding, causing someone to immediately go into shock and die from excessive blood loss.

But now, the large cuts made on the female knight's body by the cultist's single-handed cleaver were only slowly seeping blood, not gushing out as she had expected.

It seems her physical strength is extremely high. It doesn't seem reasonable for a Gold-level adventurer to die here like this.

"Sir Knight, are you alright? Let me bandage you up."

Linsel took out a roll of bandages. He saw that the female knight's face was pale and her hands were trembling. She took out a small test tube containing red liquid from her body, rubbed off the stopper, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Based on my preconceived notions from my past life, this must be the potion of life.

"Don't worry about me, lend me the bandages, I can do it myself. I have a life potion, I'll recover in no time... Go check on the others."

The battle just now was so intense that I completely forgot about "Broken Arrow" and the others.

Lindsay found "Broken Arrow" lying on the ground. He discovered that "Broken Arrow" was foaming at the mouth, in pain, and unable to speak due to confusion.

Other guards and adventurers nearby also had the same symptoms as "Broken Arrow," and some even fell into a coma.

Linsel opened the panel to check the health. He saw that everyone lying on the ground, including "Broken Arrow," had no injuries displayed on the panel, but their health had all dropped below 10.

If we leave it like this, we can't predict what will happen next, but I don't know how to remove this spell right now.

A shadow crossed Linsel's mind. If the four guards of the chosen one were already at this level when working together, wouldn't the leader be even more difficult to defeat?

But that's not necessarily true. It seems that the female knight Karina is alright, and there are two silver-level squads. How are they doing now?

Linsel looked toward the east gate not far away. He saw that many enemies had died or been wounded there, but most of the guards and adventurers were also lying on the ground, their fates unknown.

The same applies to the reinforcements from the north.
