Ark Undead

This stab came as no surprise to any of the spectators.

The longsword, which didn't seem to have much piercing power, actually pierced through the greatsword knight's armor, the tip of the sword sinking into his breastplate and creating a small gap in his armor.

Even the Greatsword Knight didn't react in time. His greatsword was still in mid-air, and he never expected that the Undead would choose a straight thrust as his attack route!

"Don't run!"

The lancer missed both of his attacks, and couldn't even pierce the shield. His attacks all went nowhere, and he felt as if something was burning on his face.

He took two steps forward, held the gun in his right hand, aimed at the undead man's lower body, and thrust the gun out!

The lance knight chose the moment when the undead had just hit the greatsword knight, which is normally the worst time to dodge.

But the undead man never even considered dodging!

While attacking the swordsman, his peripheral vision never left the spearman behind him.

Before the immortal could turn around, relying on the sound of the wind he heard, he raised his left foot above his waist and stepped out fiercely!

This kick landed right at the very end of the spear-wielding knight's thrust, pinning the iron rod beneath the spear tip to the ground!

The spear tip sank into the soil, remaining motionless beneath the feet of the immortal.

"I won't run away."

The Undead heard the Lance Knight's roar and gave a mocking sneer, his vocal cords squeezing out a dry sound like a tree branch breaking.

"release!"

The lancer's thrust missed again, and the enemy even trampled his lance underfoot—an insult to his spearmanship. If his helmet were removed, his face would surely be as red as a freshly steamed crab.

Grip the gun handle with both hands and pull the gun barrel backward like in a tug-of-war.

The undead were not heavy. As the lancer pulled back, the spikes at the tip of the lance rubbed against the undead's steel-supported boots, producing a grating scraping sound.

But the counterattack by the survivors is not over yet.

Since both of them think he's the easiest target, then we should at least get some interest out of them!

Just as the lancer was struggling to pull back his spear that was being stepped on, the undead raised his right foot and stepped on the spear shaft that was being stepped on by his left foot!

He pushed off the spear shaft with his right leg, leaping a meter into the air and lunging towards the spear-wielding knight.

The lancer had just sheathed his lance when the Undead were already upon him!

In desperation, he had no choice but to raise his spears in both hands and hold them horizontally in the air to block the sword that was slashing down from mid-air!

The sword blade left a deep wound, about half a centimeter deep, on the gun shaft.

The lance knight was nearly sent flying backwards; he suffered the same consequences of underestimating his opponent as the swordsman.

Such power! Is it really something a human could possess?!

After taking two steps back, the spearman barely managed to regain his balance. Just as he was about to think of a way to launch another attack, he saw that the undead had not retreated at all!

The Undead once again chose a head-on attack strategy, and with his right hand, he slashed down with his longsword from above!

Left with no other choice, the lancer knight had to once again raise his lance horizontally.

But he miscalculated.

The Undead had no intention of actually delivering the blow; his sword was only half-drawn when he was moving forward.

The distance between the lance knight and the undead was reduced to less than a meter. It was this one meter that allowed the lance knight to meet the undead's gaze in a fleeting moment when he looked up.

Cold, indifferent, without the slightest panic, as if everything had been planned by him.

Immediately afterwards, his eyes were completely covered by a shield.

Boom!

The Undead's left-hand shield slammed into the Lance Knight's face!

The Undead's signature attack, Shield Bash, which appeared during the 23-game winning streak, has finally arrived as expected!

The lancer felt he heard a loud bang, and then he couldn't see anything anymore.

Everything in front of him was spinning, and he could feel two warm streams flowing from his nose.

what is that?

Before he could react, another shield covered in wounds appeared in front of him!

Boom!

Another heavy shield bash struck, and the lancer's face was hit twice in succession. In a very short time, everything in front of him was like a mosaic, and then it lost its color and turned into black and white.

In the last second before he lost consciousness, only two words remained in his mind.

"Again?"

boom!

The figure holding the spear collapsed to the ground, powerless, after a brief delay.

After suffering two consecutive shield bashes to the head, and under the suppression of the undead's immense strength, he finally lost his ability to fight.

The Undead steadied himself, quickly turned around, and fixed his gaze on the figure of the swordsman who was about to charge forward.

The swordsman had originally aimed for the undead's back after two consecutive attacks, but when the undead turned around and faced him with his shield, he knew that his attack intentions had been completely seen through.

The swordsman took only one step before stopping in place, glancing helplessly at the scene on the side of the arena.

He has given up on the idea of ​​gaining points from the undead.

The entire knightly duel, from its start to now, has only lasted about ten seconds.

"Fantastic! Absolutely fantastic! I wasn't even ready to announce it, and a knight has already left the field!"

Mob the Big Mouth also widened his eyes. In the matches he had been commentating on, there had never been a points match where someone was eliminated so quickly!

"The Undead fighter was targeted by the fighters on both sides immediately after the match began! But he showed no fear! My God! He dodged the attacks of two people at the same time! And in the gap between dodging, he got close to the Utu fighter! He pierced the breastplate of the Utu fighter with his longsword, and after scoring a point, he immediately took control of the Sergi's spear! He charged forward! Shield bash, a beautiful shield bash! Another shield bash, and the Sergi fighter fell!"

Mob practically strained his lungs to quickly report the results of the race that hadn't resulted in any deaths.

"This is the cleanest and most decisive counterattack I've ever seen! The Undead player, despite being at a disadvantage of one against two, not only secured three kills from the attackers but also sent a Knight out of the arena!"

Mob took a deep breath; he had finally come back to life.

"Unforgettable! This is the legend of immortality!"

The Undead got into position and faced the other side of the arena.

Those knights fighting alone, after observing the undead's battle situation out of the corner of their eyes, immediately chose to abandon their ulterior motives towards the undead.

They weren't foolish enough to provoke such a monster.

The knights who had originally planned to attack the Undead chose to immediately disengage from their current opponents after seeing that the Undead had taken the lead.

They exchanged a glance, then turned to the Undead.

Sensing the gazes of the five people, the Undead gripped the longsword in his right hand.

If anyone truly attempts to tarnish the honor of knights, the Undead will surely make them pay the price!

Let them "personally" wash away the filth.

36. Sword and shield that sever the blockade! Eight thousand

The five gradually closed in on each other amidst the chaos of the knights' battle. (Suggested background music for this chapter: Devil May Cry 5 Virgil theme song, Bury the Light)

They exchanged a glance, each identifying their target and teammate. Then, they turned their hostile gazes to the knight in front of them, clad in old-fashioned armor, and held their weapons at bay.

The undead also raised its shield in its left hand, holding it in front of it, ready for a direct confrontation.

"Oh! Did you see that? It seems some of the knights have sensed the danger posed by the undead! They're planning to practice against this incredibly powerful enemy!"

Mob the Big Mouth seemed unafraid of making things worse, excitedly telling the audience what had happened there.

The audience in the stands cheered excitedly, a rare sight indeed!

Only two knights had ever experienced being outnumbered by other knights.

They are the legendary knights, the Black Knights, who won the Casimir Major three times in a row.

There is another one, Margaret Nearl, the Radiant Knight of the Nearl family.

Both Cavaliers were targeted in the same way on the court, but the number of times they were targeted was far less.

These are five knights, and what's worse, the Undead is just a sword and shield knight.

The Sword and Shield Knight is a well-rounded character, excelling in all aspects. It has no obvious weaknesses, nor any particularly strong strengths.

Sword and Shield Knights have the most consistent performance in one-on-one situations.

However, in situations where there are multiple opponents, the sword and shield knight performs far worse than the greatsword knight and other heavy weapon users.

Most importantly, the sword and shield knight's shield can only block enemies attacking from one direction.

Users of heavy weapons such as greatsword knights can attack enemies from several directions in front of them with a single swing.

It can be said that the Sword and Shield Knight is at a great disadvantage when facing multiple opponents.

"mean!"

Maria couldn't help but shout out, her reaction a stark contrast to the enthusiastic crowd around her.

"Auntie! Is this kind of siege really allowed?!"

Maria couldn't help but grab Zofia's right arm and swing it back and forth.

Zofia frowned as well, worried about the undead. What was frustrating was that the Knights Guild hadn't explicitly banned such attacks.

"If it is not prohibited, it means it is permitted."

Zofia sighed.

"Moreover, this is something the business alliance would like to see. If any unexpected factors arise, they can use this method to create some degree of obstruction; it's an unspoken rule they've established."

"But! Even though the teacher is very strong, there's no way he could possibly take on five opponents at once, right?!"

Maria was dejected. In her mind, the undead were indeed very strong, but they couldn't pull off something as dramatic as taking on five opponents at once.

"These are five knights who can participate in the qualifiers!"

"Quiet, Maria."
