Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

The knight relied on his will to confront despair.

When the tide recedes, when honor and life vanish together.

All things in the world rise and fall, eventually turning to dust.

When the furnace bursts into flames, when natural disasters strike, when family and friends have all forgotten it.

The last knight on this land, alone, charged towards the giant waves as black as night.

Everyone watching this scene couldn't help but feel a moment of disorientation.

They had never seen a 'fool' like Lin Guang, who knew it was impossible but still insisted on doing it.

That absurd story, which almost every Kazimierz had read, seemed to be vividly present before their eyes.

The last knight, launches His charge.

Just like the unique blank spaces in the story, the knight was unable to perfectly present the victory to his readers.

Lin Guang was sent flying backward once again.

As Marner watched Lin Guang struggle to his feet and continue his charge against Qi Yan, the corners of his mouth tightened.

Lin Guang charged again and again, only to fall again and again. His thrusts became increasingly weak, and the light emanating from his body visibly dimmed.

The knight's longsword, after briefly regaining its sharpness, once again became dull due to the battle.

As people watched Lin Guang struggle and resist, they felt as if something was blocking their hearts, making them feel uncomfortable.

"Radiant Knight, you have done your best."

Qi Yan shook his head, even putting his left hand behind his back, suppressing Lin Guang without any suspense the entire time with just one move.

His image is deeply etched in the hearts of all who witnessed this scene; the sense of powerlessness and despair overwhelmed them like a vast ocean.

"You can't win, Radiant Knight..."

"Give up, that's not something we can defeat!"

A trembling voice came from the crowd, revealing a truth that sent chills down one's spine.

Some people also turned to look at Marna.

"The one who sent down the rain of light over there, are you also a knight? Why are you just watching?"

"You must be very strong, go fight! Go protect us!"

Marna's gaze swept across the crowd, taking in their expressions.

As the rain of light vanished, Marna took one last look at Lin Guang's struggling figure as he stood up, then turned and left.

As the light rain disappeared, Lin Guang realized something; her shoulders trembled slightly, but she said nothing.

But a light shone from her body once again.

The light suppressed the sea of ​​fire.

The knight raised his dull sword and charged forward with his flesh and blood.

This knightly skill had long been etched into Nearl's very bones, becoming her sole belief at this moment.

Just as Qi Yan was about to knock Lin Guang away again, a figure suddenly rushed out from the shadows in his blind spot.

Serchiak's eyes were bloodshot.

He shouldn't have shown up again, shouldn't have appeared under such intense public scrutiny, shouldn't have stood on the opposite side of the Federation, and most importantly, shouldn't have rushed out when he had the ability to escape the inferno alone.

But he still rushed out.

“I am not a good husband and father, but…”

Serkiak roared as he stabbed Qi Yan with his dagger: "I'm a knight too!"

Qi Yan's golden eyes swept over.

Just as he was about to sweep Serchiak away, a melodious and ancient horn sounded from afar, drowning out the wails of the souls in the sea of ​​fire and becoming the only sound in the world at that moment.

The nightmare army, which has stepped into reality from the long river of history, follows their young Khan and charges across the sea of ​​fire towards Qi Yan.

The Nightmare Knight's injuries had not yet healed, but after witnessing Qi Yan's power, he knew that his injuries would not affect the outcome.

He was simply stubborn, charging towards the second "impossible" thing in his life amidst the sound of bugles.

"Go for it, Radiant Knights! Go for it, knights!"

A child's innocent cry suddenly broke the solemn and tragic atmosphere.

The cry was small, trembling and tearful.

It was a little girl, not even ten years old, clutching the Radiant Knight doll tightly in her arms, her eyes filled with tears of fear, screaming with all her might in her mother's arms.

Her mother was curled up in the flames, instinctively trying to cover her daughter's mouth.

But the moment she raised her hand, the mother looked at her daughter's face, and she suddenly bit her lower lip. Her hand, which was about to cover her daughter, froze in mid-air.

"Daughter, speak louder!"

The mother and daughter both took a deep breath, tears welling in their almost identical eyes, and simultaneously cried out:

"Go, Radiant Knights! Go, Knights!"

Chapter 496 Overcoming the Impossible

A soft laugh escaped Qi Yan's lips.

Nearl's sword and Sergey's dagger had already touched his clothes.

Both of them felt a surge of excitement, as if they had finally seen the dawn of victory.

But reality gave them a harsh slap in the face.

Qi Yan's figure blurred and disappeared from their sight. The next second, the two of them were kicked in the waist and abdomen almost simultaneously and flew to the sides.

The Nightmare Knights, leading their Nightmare Army, charged forward and crashed headfirst into Qi Yan.

The black tide crashed against the rocks, shattering into countless sprays of water.

As the tide receded, Qi Yan grabbed the Nightmare Knight by the neck with one hand, lifted him up, and slammed him heavily into the ground in front of him.

Qi Yan's overwhelming power brought absolute crushing force, etching despair deep into the souls of everyone with brute force.

The mother and daughter who screamed were terrified, while those who remained silent were increasingly frightened.

Passing past the Nightmare Knight who was too weak to get up, Qi Yan's gaze swept over the mother and daughter.

The mother's face drained of color, and she retreated repeatedly while holding her daughter. Wherever she went, people would step over flames and endure the burning pain, but no one dared to shield the mother and daughter from Qi Yan's gaze.

The sound of struggling to get up rang out in the sea of ​​fire. Lin Guang, leaning on his sword, moved his feet slowly and laboriously, once again blocking everyone's view and blocking Qi Yan's line of sight.

Blood trickled from the corner of Lin Guang's mouth, and she could only stand with the support of her sword, yet she still resolutely stood in front of everyone, just as she said, she wanted to protect everyone.

Lin Guang left only her back to the panicked people; she couldn't see their expressions.

Similarly, those people could not see Lin Guang's expression.

She looked at Qi Yan and gave a sad yet tenacious smile.

"Is this despair?" Nearl asked softly.

"Compared to the tragedies you've witnessed, compared to the natural disasters you've experienced, how does this feeling of despair compare?" Qi Yan asked rhetorically.

“There is still a glimmer of hope even in the face of natural disasters,” Lin Guang frankly admitted, “but we have no chance against you.”

Qi Yan chuckled:

"You feel like you have no chance of winning after all this? Have you seriously considered what you will face if you continue down this path?"

When you are in dire straits, the people you once tried your best to protect will be unable to help you at all, and may even criticize your incompetence behind your back.

When you fight back, those who suffer the consequences of their actions will not feel remorse, but will only blame you for not helping them.

When you become the only light in the darkness, what you illuminate may not be the hidden beauty, but rather the sins and filth that cannot be exposed to the light.

"Radiant Knight, do you dare turn around and look at the way those people are staring at you?"

Nearl: "..."

She didn't turn around; she even closed her eyes.

"Qi Yan, I don't need to look back to see if anyone is catching up with me, nor do I need to care if someone is silently raising a blade behind me."

Nearl squeezed out the last bit of her strength, not to heal her injuries, nor to enhance her weapon, but to suppress the flames once again.

Her voice was weak and feeble, yet every word was clear: "Because I can hear the voices of people."

The cries of those who hold hope are my driving force, the curses of the dark and despicable are my self-discipline. Today, you have transformed yourself into despair, showing me everything I will face in the future.

I will not waver; in this long night, if there is no fire, then I am the only light!

Qi Yan remained silent, her gaze passing over Lin Guang and looking at the people behind her.

Some people looked terrified, some looked resentful, some sobbed softly, and some gritted their teeth...

But soon, these myriad expressions of humanity were blocked by one figure after another.

The staggering, silver-speared winged horses struggled to their feet from the ruins, their steps no longer orderly, and they walked in a disheveled state behind Nearl.

The Red Pine Knights, the Blood Knights, Sergeyak, Viviana... one figure after another walked up behind Nearl.

Qi Yan glanced down at the Nightmare Knight struggling at his feet, then kicked it away.

Nearl bent down to help the Nightmare Knight up. The latter clicked his tongue, stubbornly brushed Nearl's arm away, and walked behind Nearl to face Qi Yan together, while protecting the last gap behind Nearl.

“I am not alone on this long, dark road,” Lin Guang said softly.

Qi Yan remained silent.

Qi Lin silently came up behind Qi Yan and faced Lin Guang and the people behind her together.

Qi Yan turned around, revealing a gentle smile, and raised his hand to rub Qi Lin's head, gesturing for her to step back a bit.

He then turned his head, snapped his fingers, and the flames that had been suppressed by the light surged again.

The screams of terror instantly surged, drowning out everything else and becoming the only sound in the room.

"Wait a minute, there's still us."

A gentle voice came from behind Qi Yan.

With white hair and white horns, and wearing a black cloak, Sarkaz pushed his companion in a wheelchair, walking step by step.

The surrounding sea of ​​fire seemed to sense the presence of their natural enemy. The wailing souls trembled and tried their best to avoid Shining, allowing her to push Nightingale to stroll leisurely to Nearl's side.

"Shining, you guys..."

“I can’t stop Qi Yan either, but I will do my best to help you.” Shining pushed Nightingale to a safe spot. “I will help you clear away the obstacles in front of you.”

After settling Nightingale, she turned to face Qi Yan, placed her hand on the hilt of the sword in her bosom, and slowly drew the sword.

"May you find peace," the Shining whispered in prayer.

Golden light erupted from her sword blade, surging like a tidal wave and sweeping across the entire arena.

Everyone was enveloped in an ocean of light; that night, the people of the Great Knights Territory witnessed a special sunrise.

Sarkaz wielded the Dawn Blade, extinguishing the sea of ​​fire with a single strike.

Watching the wailing spirits in the flames dissipate in the dawn, Shining silently added in his heart: Souls of Letania, I see betrayal and greed branded on your souls. This is your sin. May you sleep eternally in the birth of hope.

As the prayers ended, the flames died down, and the spirits of the dead turned into white specks of light, floating around the crowd.

Nightingale in her wheelchair also raised her hand, and a special force emanated from her palm, enveloping Nearl and the others.

As Lin Guang's injuries subsided, his previously depleted strength was replenished, and new power surged forth once more.

The Blade of the Spirit Sword returned to its sheath, and with a wave of its hand, it scattered a few drops of fluorescent light, which also constituted a special kind of stance.

Lin Guang and the others were jolted awake, inexplicably feeling themselves... harden.

"Hey, hey..." Qi Yan's lips twitched, revealing a look of apprehension for the first time.

"Qi Yan, it's time for you to leave." Shining smiled gently.

The moment she finished speaking, the fighting spirit in Lin Guang and the others surged. Without any command, everyone knew what they should do.

Silver Spear Pegasus regrouped and, utilizing their racial talents, launched the first charge.
