Become a knight starting with synthesized entries.

Just as he sensed something was wrong, the ear-piercing sound of armor scraping against stone echoed softly behind Luo An, exceptionally clear!

Luo An suddenly stood up, slashing his sword backward while simultaneously taking a step back.

clang!!!

The crisp sound of metal clashing was heard. Luo An hadn't used his full strength, but breaking bones with a single blow was definitely not a problem.

The blow struck the armor, but it made Roan's arm tremble, as if he had struck a rock.

The longsword also broke in two.

With a click of his tongue, Luo An tossed aside his longsword, creating some distance between himself and the sword, and took a deep breath. He gazed ahead.

Unexpectedly, standing behind Luo An was a knight dressed in dark armor, as solid as an iron barrel.

It's very similar to the "Black Iron Knight" Io that Levi just mentioned.

However, this "Io" had no head; a spine protruded abruptly from the neck of the armor.

"Undead?" Luo An was slightly taken aback.

He kept talking about seeing ghosts, but one day, he actually saw one.

By the moonlight, I could vaguely see the mud on the armor.

"Damn it, Mary Jane turned into 'Io'!"

Luo An cursed under his breath.

What kind of mess is this? He didn't kill Mary Jane; it was Roan who stabbed her with his own hands.

Even if Mary Jane died, turned into a skeleton, and rose again, Roan could accept it.

What the hell? Mary Jane's grave is empty, and a knight in armor has appeared instead!

Luo An racked his brains but still couldn't understand how these two things were connected.

However, "Io" did not give Roan much time to think. He suddenly began to move, gripping the same black longsword with both hands and slowly raising it to the level of his non-existent head.

The stance for an attack.

Luo An was even more puzzled. Even though it wasn't breathing, "Io" could still use combat skills.

Golden light burst forth simultaneously in front of Luo An.

[Combat Technique: Sudden Impact]

[By exerting all your strength, take a step forward, unleashing power from the surrounding earth to damage the enemy while simultaneously unleashing an unstoppable attack. This requires a high level of skill and variety in breathing techniques.]

next moment,

"Io" suddenly raised his left foot and stomped out heavily.

Boom!

The land in front of "Io" shook simultaneously, as if an explosion had thrown up snow and mud.

This also made Luo An unsteady on his feet, and he was even more surprised.

That's terrifying power. Even a Black Iron Knight would be exhausted in a short time if he used such combat skills.

As Luo An staggered, "Io" suddenly slashed out with his longsword.

Luo An had anticipated this with the help of the "Monkey Typewriter," but he stumbled and couldn't dodge immediately. He could only grip the broken sword tightly, infuse it with his energy, and protect himself.

clang!

The moment the sword energy touched the broken sword, the broken sword's aura exploded violently, a characteristic of the wolf's howl that caused the breath to burst forth instantly.

But even a broken sword couldn't withstand this terrifying strike.

Blood spurted from Luo An's shoulder instantly, causing him to groan and spit out a mouthful of blood.

I was shocked.

That's an exaggeration.

If Luo An hadn't learned some "entanglement" techniques and used his breath to protect his body, he probably would have been cut in two.

But even with such terrifying power, "Io" slammed his arm down.

Taking this opportunity, Luo An suppressed his pain and took a deep breath.

Wolf Jump!

The wolf jump over such a short distance brought them almost instantly close to "Io".

With that, Luo An raised the remaining sword hilt and slammed it heavily onto the pitch-black iron armor.

Using the momentum of a wolf leap, even the hilt of a sword can be smashed into armor, leaving a dent.

However, when the sword hilt struck the armor, it jolted again.

A terrifying tremor traveled from the sword hilt to his arm, causing Luo An's arm to go numb.

This also caused "Io" to stumble and take a few steps back.

Immediately, "Io" gripped the longsword tightly once more.

Luo An frowned slightly. He certainly hadn't expected that this single blow would be enough to knock down a knight, but it was enough to leave the knight temporarily unable to catch his breath.

"Io" didn't even bother to catch its breath before immediately straightening its body—it was unbelievable. This armor, which looked harder than stone, actually had an impact-absorbing effect?

As expected of the dead, they cannot think in the way of ordinary people.

Since that's the case, let's deal with this armor the same way we deal with the undead.

Luo An tossed aside the crooked hilt of his sword, took a deep breath, and began chanting [Restoration].

A faint golden light enveloped both "Io" and Roan.

Luo An immediately felt a sense of relief.

"Io" wasn't so lucky. His movements suddenly stopped, and his whole body began to tremble.

Even the longsword trembled, and the person seemed to be in great pain, slowly approaching Luo An at an extremely slow pace.

Luo An raised his chanting voice, and the light became even brighter.

"Io" slowly approached Luo An, trembling even more violently.

Finally, he stopped moving, his entire body and armor swaying, then collapsing as if losing its support, rolling to the ground.

The golden light slowly dissipated.

Luo An breathed a sigh of relief; this was also his first time facing the undead. If the [Restore] spell failed, then he would have to dismantle "Io".

Luo An was even more curious about what this thing was. With such powerful strength, this skeleton was undoubtedly a Black Iron Knight, and an extremely powerful one at that.

At this moment, the guards noticed the miraculous light emanating from Luo An and rushed to his side.

They were quite surprised to see Luo An.

"Captain Luo Anwei, what are you doing here?"

Roan waved his hand, gesturing for them to look at the armor on the ground. Before he could speak, the guards whispered, "Isn't this Knight Io's armor? Wasn't it supposed to be in Lorton Church? How did it end up here?"

"Is it really him?" Luo Anbi was even more surprised than the guards.

"You're not mistaken?"

The guards all shook their heads; Io's armor was very distinctive, and they couldn't possibly be mistaken.

It really was that legendary Black Iron Knight.

Indeed powerful.

Even a broken skeleton is so powerful.

I don't know what level of strength he had when he was alive.

More than that, Roan wanted to know what his relationship with Mary Jane was.

Soon, the guards reported the situation to Levi.

Reeves arrived quickly and was more surprised than anyone else when he saw the armor.

"Damn it!"

"Luo An, I heard you were attacked by armored soldiers. Are you alright?"

Luo An shook his head.

"It's alright. This armor is very strong, but fortunately, the [Restore] spell is effective against him."

"What?" Levi didn't understand. "The Restoration spell works on armor?"

Luo An had no choice but to chant the restoration spell again.

Golden light fell on Io's armor, causing the scattered armor and the skeleton encased within it to tremble once more.

Levi was even more surprised; he couldn't understand how Roan had discovered that the Restoration Spell could harm the remains of the dead.

Looking deeply at Roan, Levi suddenly remembered a report. A month ago, there was a report of cult activity in Lorton Town. It was the cultists who dug up Io's grave and stole the armor and body to Riverview Village.

Luo An had the same question.

Did the "Black God" send his followers to Riverview Village just for Roan's jump?

Upon closer inspection of the armor, Luo An suddenly realized he had been wrong.

This armor is something I've built myself.
