Chapter 11: Onion Knight and Giant King 2
A faint chill spreads.
The opponent's weapon is a longsword, with wisps of frosty snowflakes drifting on its surface. When wielded, it bursts with an icy force, presumably a rather impressive enchanted weapon.
The strength is astonishing.
Comparable to a Giant.
The body's bones are not typical of humans, possibly from this world's Divine Race Knight. The combat experience is extremely rich, with eyes that are bloodthirsty and frenzied, having completely lost all reason.
"Th...thank you..."
The Onion Knight beside took out a bottle and took a sip, Su Ziyu thought he was drinking from an Elemental Bottle, but unexpectedly he was taking a swig of liquor.
"Ah! Ha!..."
"Come on!...Monster!... Taste the sharp blade of Jack Baldor from Catalina!..." After taking a sip of liquor, the round chubby knight beside Su Ziyu abruptly increased in momentum, wielding the Great Sword and slashed down towards the Beastial Knight in front of him.
Sparks flew.
As Su Ziyu retreated, lightning flickered through his palms, and he fired a Spiritual Lightning directly.
Enemies in this world have formidable melee capabilities.
To secure an easy victory, he must use Spiritual Energy, which is clearly slower to recover than stamina. Su Ziyu's usual habit is to maintain Spiritual Energy above seventy percent, but it seems difficult to achieve right now.
Pale golden lightning flickered briefly over the Beastial Knight.
Unexpectedly,
The monster had a substantial lightning resistance. It suddenly crouched and jumped, swinging the Great Sword in hand, accompanied by a gust of cold wind, towards Su Ziyu.
Booming sounds.
A stone pillar, half a meter in diameter, was directly severed, while Su Ziyu's figure appeared on its right, both hands gripping the Meteor Longsword, striking directly at the enemy's back.
Sparks exploded.
A crack appeared on the silver-gray armor of the Beastial Knight before him; Su Ziyu saw the black skin hidden under the armor, with traces of blood deep within. After getting injured, this Beastial Knight seemed even more frenzied, swinging the Great Sword wildly, filling the hall with fierce wind noise, sword glints fleetingly chasing Su Ziyu's figure but failing to touch him, only chopping all the surrounding stone pillars.
The White Crow Swordsmanship puts a significant emphasis on evasion techniques.
Because it's designed for dealing with non-human opponents, facing such enemies often means getting heavily injured with just one hit. So, although Su Ziyu's other abilities are not mentioned, he has always been adept at melee evasion.
"Conceal some strength and conserve Spiritual Energy."
"Shouldn't be difficult for the two of us to wear it down." Su Ziyu dispersed the Spiritual Lightning in his palm, evading the enemy's frenzied attacks while cooperating with the Onion Knight beside him. He had already consumed a lot of Spiritual Energy killing the Skeleton Collector before, and this place seemed to host more monsters than just this one.
Splatter sound.
After maneuvering around for a while, as the Beastial Knight launched an attack, Su Ziyu finally found an opportunity; his figure flew out as the Onion Knight drew the enemy's attention, delivering a righteous backstab to the foe.
Bang.
The body of the Beastial Knight slowly collapsed, while the Onion Knight in front plopped down on the ground, breathing slightly.
——"The large soul of the Warrior Knight (refinable): Refinement yields 500 Energy Value."
Not particularly troublesome, didn't see any special abilities.
A large mass of soul emerged.
Su Ziyu didn't reach for it but instead looked up at the rotund knight before him.
"Thank you for the assistance..." The chubby knight panted a bit and said, "You can have all these spoils..."
"I noticed your sword is somewhat damaged..."
The Meteor Longsword had suffered three nicks during the battle with Fried the nun.
Su Ziyu simply grabbed the soul mass, then reached out to pick up the Beastial Knight's Great Sword; it was heavy, emitting a cold aura, the surface glowing faint white when wielded, with elusive ice crystals floating around, looking quite dashing.
——"Yirushir Straight Sword (High Tier Rare Artifact): A sharp sword forged by Pontiff Shalivan for the Warrior Knight, imbued with ice attribute magic power, attributes are Armor Piercing, Frost, Resilient. Can be enhanced."
Turns out it's a High Tier Rare Artifact?
Su Ziyu swung it, feeling it quite handy, much stronger than his Meteor Longsword, and during the battle, he indeed sensed the magic power of the ice attribute.
All the sword is High Tier Rare Artifact?
What level weapon would Fried the nun's scythe be?
A legendary one?
The Onion Knight sat for a while and then stood up; he first sized up Su Ziyu and then glanced towards Fried the nun beside him, hesitating slightly, saying: "Are you Unburnt Ashes?"
"Yes." Su Ziyu nodded subtly, making the Spiritual Light on him appear dimmer.
The chubby knight patted his round-topped helmet and shouldered the Great Sword, saying, "I am Jack Baldor from Catalina..."
"It's too dark here."
"Are you heading up?"
Su Ziyu gave Fried the nun beside him a querying glance, meaning to ask if she knew this fellow. But Fried the nun shook her head, looking on silently as the spectator.
This time someone attracted the fire, she wasn't caught in the battle.
The Onion Knight walked off towards the lift by himself, saying as he walked, "There's a Giant up atop the tower."
"I originally intended to go up and have a chat with him."
"But the lift only goes down."
"That's peculiar."
"How to get up then?"
He didn't wait for Su Ziyu, just sat on the lift and went up.
This fellow feels a bit naive, talking slowly, seems not particularly clever.
When Su Ziyu came down, he noticed the lift had two levels; the upper one probably leads to the tower top. He looked at Fried the nun beside him; apart from loving to be in a daze, this nun seemed the closest to a normal person.
Having finally met a somewhat normal-looking native, naturally, Su Ziyu intended to ask a bit more.
He chased after but the lift was already up.
Helplessly,
He had to use the device beside to bring the lift down, but when the two of them went up, the Onion Knight was gone.
Where did he go?
Su Ziyu just thought to look around, hearing a muttering voice from above, "Hmm?... Hmm!... Why is there a Demon over there?..."
"He's up there." Fried the nun's lips slightly curled, saying softly, "He might have discovered the Demon I mentioned."
Spent a bit of time.
Su Ziyu finally found the Onion Knight again in the ascending middle layer; he was sitting by the high tower's wall, staring at the burning ruins not far away.
There lay numerous corpses, indicating a massacre occurred recently.
When Su Ziyu looked up, he could see a particularly burly figure emanating firelight - a Demon.
Very familiar.
That chaotic power, and the faint sulfur smell from afar.
"Hmm... Hmm?... It's you guys... Thanks to you, I received a revelation from above, realized how to operate this lift beautifully." The Onion Knight stared dully at the distance, muttering, "But I got here by spacing out."
"Did you see that Demon?"
"I'm thinking about how to deal with it! This guy seems tough!... Don't act rashly..."
At this moment.
The prompt from the Space-Time Monitor System appears.
"Pollution body discovered!"
As soon as the Onion Knight finished his sentence, Su Ziyu decisively pulled out the Yirushir Straight Sword he had just acquired, and amidst a shower of shimmering crystal light, directly jumped down from the tower, heading towards the Demon's activity area.
That's a living Source Power Value!
Meeting such non-lord level Demons is like running into a free hunt.
