The Amber Sword

The Black Knight creaked and walked on the ice as the fish entered. Laurena, Phyllis, Leonard, and the poet raised their hands, each with a long black crystalline sword hanger over their neck, and the black knight with the sword dragged a long black velvet cape with no expression on his face, like a magic statue made by a wizard.

A mess in the iceberg and staggered swordmarks on the ice attest to the intense fighting that had taken place before, when the Black Knight dragged the bodies of two of their men out and left a red mark on the ice.

One of the particularly tall black knights came to Coward and the girl looked back without fear with a light silver eye, but could only see a pair of particularly bright eyes covered by the shadow beneath the other's hood, as well as a thin lower cheek. The Black Knight stared at Coward's snow-white neck for a while, as if he was considering putting his sword on it, "Please step aside.” Coward said in a crisp, raw voice.

“Miss Coward.” The knight placed his hand on his chest and bowed slightly to Coward, making a noisy metal collision as his thick armor rubbed against the armor shirt below.

“Are you going to do the same to me as you did to them?” Coward looked at the poem, scared to bite his lower lip, and asked calmly.

“I dare not.” The knight answered with his head down.

Coward smiled slightly, knowing that these people were followers of Dusk, they respected her, mostly in the face of her ‘sister’. Perhaps they think that that is the eldest daughter of Essex, the devil leader of the Dusk Legion, and if mortals worship God and Martha, then there is a place for the dark Coward among the idols that these fanatics believe in.

Though she was simple, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart and understand that they were just trying to believe the ‘truth’ that they were willing to believe.

“Then I ask you to let them go, okay?” She asked softly.

“I'm afraid not. ”

“Aren't you afraid I'll get angry? I'll tell my sister.” Kowalski raised his face.

“Lord Coward, she's not going to blame us for this. These people ——” he looked back: “These are your enemies. ”

“I will not fight anyone, they are not my enemies. ”

“That's at least your sister's, right, our little princess?” The knight's mouth curled up.

Coward shut her mouth and she looked at the slightly trembling poem: “At least let her go. She's just a child, not a threat to you. ”

The knight turned around, nodded, and the black knight next to the poem retracted his sword. The scholar lady slowly slipped to the ground as if she was paralyzed, and then wow cried out. The knight frowned and glanced outside, but the battle was going on violently, and no one noticed the noise. He relieved himself and turned back to Coward and said, "Please stay here, Miss Coward. ”

Coward glanced at him and neither answered yes nor no, just returned to sit down. She looked at the poems that made her cry, passing a comforting look, and the latter looked at her with gratitude, and the sound of her crying slowly diminished.

The knight nodded satisfied and raised his right hand and made a gesture to his colleagues. A small group of black knights with long bows came up from behind, crossing the position of the knight and approaching the hole carefully. Haruze looked at the scene confused, and when he saw the Black Knight approaching the hole, he suddenly realized what they were going to do. He suddenly panicked, opened his mouth and shouted. But before that, his feet suddenly appeared in front of him, and he raised his head and saw the knight standing high and looking at himself: "If I were you, my little prince, I would shut my mouth. ”

……

“What's he doing? ”

Little Mother Dragon and Metisa were lying side by side under an ice creek, and not far from them, Anrek was limping toward an exit in front. He seemed badly wounded, and every time he dragged his steps for a while, he stopped to rest. He does not look like a duke, but like a beggar, a fluffy silver-grey hair messy, wrinkles on his forehead tightly wrinkled, face gray, full of sweat, chest like a windbreaker, he rested for a while, then tried to climb up against the wall and keep walking forward.

But not far away, he fell on a wet, icy floor, struggling to climb a distance, and then stopped. This time Aloz and Metisa watched him pause for a long time, at least for a moment before he sat down in dismay and remained silent for a while, rocking up and continuing in the direction of that exit.

“He seems to be going somewhere. ”

“Where? ”

“Don't know.”

“He seems to know the way here. ”

Aloz and Metisa glanced at each other, nodded, and then climbed up from under the ice, sneaking up on them. Alex didn't realize he was being followed behind him. After he walked out the exit, he continued along the curved trail and corridor in a certain direction. He seemed to be familiar with the place. Every time he encountered a fork, he hesitated for a moment and then chose the direction.

Metissa, once a commander of the Silver Elves, had a strong sense of direction, and a few times later, she judged that Alex should be heading north. Soon after, the traces of the artificial building ahead disappeared, appearing in front of Alec in a naturally formed crack in the glacier, and Aloz and Metisa saw him resting for a moment at the entrance to the glacier, pulling something out of his clothes and biting it, chewing it hard -- Aloz's eyelids, seeing clearly that it was supposed to be a piece of meat dry.

“He's replenishing his strength.” She said somewhat excitedly: "It's time to get to the destination, he didn't do it before. ”

“What's he doing supplementing his strength?” Metisa's a little confused.

“Who knows," Aloz said as big as ever: “Just keep up and see. ”

“Shall we stop him first?” Metisa thought about it and felt a little uncomfortable.

“No -” Aloz shook his head: "What if it's not here yet? This guy is so hard, he won't lead us. ”

And the little princess nodded.

Just as the two men chatted, the Duke had swallowed up the food in his hand, and he took out a piece of white powder from his pocket, covered it in his hand for a while, then frowned and swallowed it hard. Aloz and Metisa saw it clearly, and it was snow, and they thought it was something that Alez had previously saved in the ice crevice, because the temperature underneath the ice had not melted it, but this move further confirmed Aloz 'guess.

After drinking the snow water, Alec coughed twice with his throat, apparently a little unbearable. But he stood up slowly, without much hesitation, and walked straight to the glacier. When Aloz was excited to see the scene, she waved to Metisa and the two little girls followed her back.

The glacier was so narrow that it was only half way through the unseen blue light that Aloz suddenly turned around and patted Metisa on the shoulder. “Madiso, did you hear something?” In the dark, her golden eyes were extraordinarily bright and sparkling inside, and Metisa glanced at her and nodded, thanks to her long pointy ears, the elves' hearing was remarkable, and she had long heard voices coming from the other side of the glacier.

“It's lightning. ”

“It means we're in the right place," Aroz replied with a little excitement. "He must have some conspiracy, but Lord Martha is obviously on our side, and he's dead. ”

Metissa looked a little strange, and she looked at Aloz, and she showed some anxiety: “Anyway, let's go over there, Sister Aloz, I'm afraid it's going to be delayed. ”

“What's the matter? What's your hurry? ”

“I… I think I hear the Lord's voice. ”

“What!? ”

The exit on the other side of the glacier is above the cliff, and there is a deep canyon about twenty or thirty metres outside the exit, at a moment when lightning is raging across the canyon as if weaving into a terrible storm. And precisely because of the presence of that canyon, it was difficult to see the glacier exit in this direction from the platform where Dark Coward was located. Instead, it stood at the exit, and Alex could give an overview of the battle below.

His pale, skull-like claws clasped on the ice, his cold face watched the fierce battle between Veronica, Mayfister, Charles and Brando et al., and Coward, and a slight smile appeared gray, as if the previous dragon had swept away at this moment. But all of a sudden, he felt his heart pounding again, and he hurriedly pressed his hand against his mouth, his face sweating cold, as if he was taking someone's advice, nodding carefully, nodding again, shaking his head, then frowning, and finally nodding his head again.

“I understand, Lord Coward. ”

“Yes.”

Finally, he muttered as if he had spoken to himself, and Aloz and Metisa, hiding behind the glacier in a staggered rift, saw him draw a dagger from his boot and carve it on the ice. But in a moment, they could see clearly that he was drawing a circular array of laws.

“It should have been Coward who summoned him here, no wonder he could tell the same path as the maze below.” Metisa suddenly said, "Sister Aloz, can you recognize what he painted? ”

“It seems to be a guiding array. ”

“Guide the array?” Metisa saw a critical situation and was nervous enough to immediately summon the unicorn to fly down and fight alongside Brando. But it is good that she also understands how lightweight it is, Lord Lordship has not found that in this place, it is difficult to guard against open guns and arrows, and she has to hold on to Alex.

“You've seen those big Falls, like the Silver Elf War Delivery Falls. Large arrays can't be started by personal magic alone, and this guiding array is an automatic convergence of magic to initiate a ritual array of large arrays," Aloz's eyes glistened with a golden flame, and she licked her pointed canine teeth with her tongue: “I get it. Cruz's flame door, the stolen material, must be on him, and Coward wants him to open the portal here and summon the devil to fight for her. ”

“Never let him succeed.” Metissa couldn't bear to speak out.

“That's nature. ”

Little Dragon smiled and nodded proudly - if she had a tail, it would be up to heaven by now.

Alec gasped to finish the first array, but a large transmission array like Flame Door, one guide array certainly wasn't enough, he wiped a sweat of oil, trembled to the side and was ready to start drawing the second array. But it was at this time that he saw a pair of shoes —— actually, a light brown calf leather boot with iron leather on the tip and silver plating -- and he was familiar with them, because it was the owner of those boots who took the Heart of the Dragon from him, and he would never forget it.

Suddenly he was stuck there.

“Keep painting.” Little Mother Dragon's voice shrugged: “Why don't you paint it? I see you're doing a good job. ”

All of a sudden, Alex was shaking, and he was like a demon, yelling at Aloz. But the latter did not move. He just looked at him with a smile. He had not gone out for two steps and saw that his feet were stirred with something, and he fell firmly on the ice. Alec screamed and felt something on his neck.

He didn't have to look back to understand what it was - because he had seen a silver shuttle sticking to his cheek.

“Humans, are you feeling very sorry for yourself right now?” Little Mother Dragon was so proud, she simply put the star stone on the ground and sat on top of it, looking down at the wretched Alec, smiling and saying: “But don't worry, you won't be worried about your life for now, I'll make you a deal, haha, I'll see what Brando does now! ”

Little Mother Dragon was proud, but Metisa was not as optimistic as she was.

In fact, the little Elf Princess screamed with some concern, "Sister Aloz...”

“What's the matter? ”

“Look over there. ”

“What?”

“Is it the Black Knight over there...? ”

……

After Brando placed Hippamilla, he did not return directly to the platform, but circled behind Dark Coward between the vertical and horizontal staggered pipes beneath the platform. He knew that Coward had automatically removed the Divine Power Barrier by this time. Although his ability to attack had increased hundreds of times, his defense had been greatly reduced. After all, the other party was not the true God and could not achieve the absolute gap in the true sense of the word.

And at this point, Dark Coward finally realized that he was missing a man on the front battlefield, and she turned back subconsciously, but only saw Brando's figure disappear in that direction for a moment.

At that moment, she instinctively felt dangerous.

As if it were subconscious, the dense electric light rapidly converged from the first half of the platform to the second half. Although Kowald herself could not say well, why would she think that Brando, the only element of catalysis, would be more dangerous than the sword saint in the extreme field above her head, but after all, as a demigod, at this moment she was also a Milos realm and clergy, perceived a thousand times more acutely, and the premonition was a hundred times more accurate. The gods believed in their premonition, just as Martha could see the gods and the twilight of the world at the beginning of the creation.

The dense white beams converged like an electric wall, banging on the platform, forming dozens of golden threads throughout the second half of the platform, as if even the platform was about to melt.

But these staggered lightnings didn't stop Brando.

As everyone saw, Brando's figure was like a ghost, disappeared continuously, and lightning went through his figure, like through a shattered phantom, and in an instant, he had come to Coward through a storm of lightning. Previously, when Brando had swords against Charles, no one had noticed the details of the battlefield, but at this point, it was no longer clear.

“Flashing Sword -” Veronica almost lost her mouth.

And in the iceberg, Leonarette and the poet couldn't help but be surprised.

Brando has slashed Coward with a sword.

But at this time, Dark Coward was relieved, and she stared coldly at Brando's nearer and nearer blade. The tone was almost horrible: “The Dragon Nation's skill in manipulating space is also the stripping and dusk ethnicity, you actually axed the doors in front of me!” Her voice had just fallen and countless lightnings interwoven in front of her, as if even the space had shaken, raw blocking Brando's sword back.

Veronica, Leonarette and the poetry were almost stuck at that moment.

The flash sword is blocked.

This is almost unimaginable, the flashing swordsmanship of Gilt, the king of flames, which is the swordsmanship of Cruz as a god. Once this swordsmanship handed down to the Dragon Nation is locked in, its target is either hit or dodged within a thousandth of a second after the blade emerges from a space crack, and there is virtually no third possibility.

But now it's right in front of them, and the flashing sword was interrupted halfway through life.

The space trembling in thunder is like the mind trembling in the place —— what kind of power is that?

However, of all people, only Brando could keep his mind the same, although he was slightly surprised, but after all, he understood that the Flashing Sword was only a secret of the Dragon Nation. And in fact, there is still a big gap between the Dragons and the daughter of Essex. Therefore, he is not surprised that Coward possesses the skills to counteract the flashing of the sword. After all, the Dragon Nation and the Dusk Nation are old opponents.

But Brando suddenly retracted the sword of the earth when everyone thought he was going to return without success, and then another sword was cut off at Coward.

“Again? ”

Dark Coward saw this guy so unknowingly, he couldn't help but laugh.
