Survive on a Deserted Island With the Villainous Young Lady - Chapter 298
298 – Demon Knight (1)
When the Demon Knight runs, it makes a loud noise. As the sharp and hard armor rubs against each other, a very irritating sound is produced: squeak, squeak, squeak.
Moreover, because the sound is amplified and spread in the empty space inside the armor, the constant clicking sound gives a terrifying feeling as if it is coming from somewhere other than this world.
People are afraid of it, calling it ‘the sound of the devil laughing in hell’, and if they hear that sound even from afar, they get scared and try to hide in a rabbit hole.
And now, when they heard the ‘sound of the devil laughing in hell’ and tried to run away, their feet became slow and heavy due to exhaustion, and the chase team that eventually encountered the devil was killed.
They were the ones who chased down deserters, but they happened to run into a demonic knight who was chasing Chester and his group, and they were turned into miserable pieces of meat.
The demon knight did nothing. It’s just that while I was tracking, there was something in front of me, so I just ignored it and ran.
Since tracking was the priority, I had no intention of avoiding obstacles.
But that alone felt like hell. Some die by being trampled as if they were trampled by a horse’s hoof, while others die by having their entire bodies cut to pieces by being grazed by the sharp protrusions on the demon knight’s armor.
Naturally, the demon knight didn’t care about that at all and just followed the traces of the four-horse chariot he had been seeing for a while.
– … ….
After chasing traces, the demon knight entered the forest and heard the sound of life breathing in the quiet forest, as if there were no living creatures.
Basic hiding, such as ‘holding your breath and hiding your body’, does not work in the face of a demon knight who is made of an ‘artificial life form for combat’ and has a highly developed function for detecting hidden enemies.
Even if you pretend to be an animal by wearing an animal’s skin, you will be able to find out its identity by accurately hearing the sound of the human heart coming from inside the skin.
And now, the demon knight’s sense organs, which were different from those of humans, were able to find the humans sitting beyond the forest, which appeared to be gray, opaque shapes.
At the same time, they could also feel the lives of five horses a little distance away from them.
It’s them. The demon knight intuitively realized that the humans sitting in the forest were criminals who had attacked the duke’s noble’s domain, so he sold his four arms to carry out his assigned mission.
The upper two arms make a large shield, and the lower two arms make spears and maces.
A tactic of blocking enemy attacks with a huge shield and fighting while hiding one’s weapons. This is the general combat method of demon knights, where they fight by changing the position, ratio, and type of shield and weapon depending on the situation.
For example, when breaking through a castle gate, they make four huge shields and rush in, using themselves as a battering ram to smash the gate.
The demon knight continued to move in the direction where he felt life, and soon he was able to spot the person.
“Oh, it looks ugly. “The word devil suits me well.”
“It’s black armor… “It looks ominous.”
A group of humans dressed like mercenaries. And a creature that resembles a human.
As soon as they appeared, the demon knight stopped and watched them.
“Okay then, let’s go!”
Immediately after that, Lorwan used his elastic body like a spring and shot out in an instant.
It moves by radiating force at once, and its movements are smoothly controlled using its flexible body to move freely.
The Demon Knight stabbed his spear and held out his shield to check Lorwan, but Lorwan easily escaped it and stabbed the Demon Knight in the side with his own spear.
Kaang!
However, the demon knight’s armor is impervious to Lorwan’s spear.
‘Should we take advantage of the gap?’
Lorwan narrowed his eyes and flexed his body to avoid the demon knight’s mace, and Urgo, who moved after Lorwan, swung a huge axe.
Kwaaang!!
A loud noise sounds like a bomb exploded. This ridiculously heavy ax, made with a huge amount of high-quality steel, could produce magical destructive power if it could be held and swung.
And Urgo has the strength and skills to swing and handle such an ax freely.
“Hmph!”
After one collision, Urgo guessed that the opponent’s strength was at a similar level to his own, so he immediately tilted his ax and slid across the shield to go behind the opponent.
The target is the clearly exposed lower half of the horse. After swinging the ax over the end of the shield, he throws the ax off the demon knight’s shield with great force, just like the trick of throwing a hammer.
The shield, which bounced with wild sparks, collided with the lower body of the horse at an incredible speed.
Quaaang!!
“Pfft!”
It was a blow that was so frightening that Lorwan, who was nearby, stopped moving without realizing it due to the shock.
“You’re blocking this!”
However, the demon knight blocked Urgo’s attack by manipulating the armor near his lower body.
– …… !
“I don’t think there was any shock at all.”
Chester, who was watching for signs after Lorwan and Urgo, jumped from the tree and swung Anubis to attack the demon knight’s head.
The demon knight raised his shield to block Chester’s attack, and then stabbed Chester with his spear.
After the surprise attack failed, Chester grabbed a nearby vine, changed direction in the air to avoid the spear, and attacked the demon knight with Anubis once again.
Kaaang!
As Anubis passes by, a huge amount of sparks fly.
‘… ….’
Chester was surprised when Anubis only made a scratch on his armor. Until now, there was nothing that Anubis couldn’t cut, so what on earth was the armor made of to block it?
He swings his foot, hooks his instep on a tree branch, pulls himself up at once, and hides himself between the branches.
While the demon knight missed Chester, the ax wielded by Urgo hit the demon knight’s back.
A huge shock struck the demon knight, and Lorwan took advantage of the gap created and thrust his spear into the lower body of the horse that had blocked Urgo’s ax a moment ago.
“Once you move the armor, it seems like you can’t put it back right away! “There is a gap!”
Lorwan shouted and stabbed his spear through the gap created by his armor moving to block the axe.
Phew! Lorwan’s spear entered the gap in the demon knight’s armor, and the demon knight was sprayed with dark red liquid and suffered.
“Indeed. “It’s not like it’s a monster that has no weaknesses or doesn’t bleed even a drop of blood.”
Urgo grinned as he remembered ‘Anubis’ whom he fought in the pyramid.
“Then it’s worth it. “We have more power than before.”
Immediately after Urgo said that, Monia, Rex, and Senna, who had been waiting for the three men to see the devil knight’s liver from afar, moved.
“A window would be nice.”
From noble mtl dot com
Senna held in her hand the spear she had taken from the knight in Jesper’s domain, and Rex turned his mace roughly.
Monia spread her stargazer and watched the movements of Chester and her friends, and she shot an invisible arrow in step with them.
How many years have I held a bow in my hand? Monia had experience shooting a bow many times in situations where a typical hunter or archer would not shoot, and her skills were close to top-notch.
In addition, Byulbaragi, which was already precise and had a good accuracy rate, could now be treated like hands and feet, so the arrows she fired were sure to move in the path Monia wanted and hit the enemy.
Chester, Urgo, and Lorwan also trusted Monia’s skills, so they swung her weapons without worry, believing that they would not be hit even if they moved as they pleased.
“No, but! “This is really solid!”
“Hmm. “First of all, the impact is causing damage.”
The mace thrown by Rex. The ax wielded by Urgo. Anubis of Chester. Even though each attack was fatal, the demon knight was still hit with sparks and did not take much damage.
Looking at the body shaking, it looks like there is damage due to shock, but the devil knight’s movements did not change even though he was beaten all the time.
I keep looking at each person and repeatedly block and attack them with my shield. It seemed like a textbook that just repeated the basics.
But that was enough. The demon knight did not show any loopholes that could easily be stabbed, and blocked Urgo and Rex’s attacks with his shield as much as possible to avoid deforming his armor.
It was a while for the demon knight to fight while only defending himself.
After being beaten for about 10 minutes, the demon knight thought that he had finished observing enough and began to transform his body.
First of all, he raises his entire body’s armor to stop Lorwan from annoyingly digging into his arms.
The sharp, pointed tips of the armor naturally blocked Lorwan’s approach, and then he moved all the armor on his three arms to create three huge shields.
Although the arms are clearly exposed and defenseless, the three shields are cleverly overlapped and crossed to protect against any gaps.
Blocks Rex’s mace, Monia’s wind arrow, and Urgo’s ax from afar.
Next, he stretched out the last remaining spear, turned it into a long whip, and started swinging it wildly.
“Avoid!”
Urgo retreated by striking away the flying whip with his axe, and Lorwan also hurriedly rolled his body to avoid it.
However, the demon knight had no particular intention of attacking anyone and simply swung his whip at random to attack those around him.
A swung whip cuts down a tree. Cutting down trees one by one, cutting down the trees again, cutting them into pieces, breaking them down, and knocking them down.
As the trees growing around the demon knight disappeared, a vacant lot began to be created nearby.
And at the same time, Chester, who had been climbing the trees and looking for an opening, had no choice but to come down to the ground and confront the demon knight with the others.
– You are strong.
After finishing bringing down Chester, the demon knight spoke to Chester and his group.
– One by one, they are strong people rarely seen in our ‘history’. Especially two.
The demon knight saw Urgo and Rex.
– I have to take it. The legion can become even stronger. We must become strong.
The demon knight rushed forward while speaking.
– We must continue our country until the end of this world.
