Chapter 6: Fights

None of Lucien, Gary or Correa, heard the sound of fighting, screams or anyone leaving.

The tall, strong, and powerful High-Order Squire Howson, just disappeared without making a sound?

Lucien’s blood froze, and breathed slightly heavier.

Gripping the light sword tightly, Lucien quickly turned back

Cyan moss s.h.i.+nes faint lights on the sewerage wall, but Howson, who left no traces, added a sense of creepiness

All of a sudden, Lucien heard a shrilling scream, he subconsciously turned his head to that direction.

An enormous mouse, as big as an adult, flung Correa onto the ground. Its sharp claws stabbed into his shoulder, penetrated the cast-iron armor. Correa started bleeding, his blood Incarnadined the silver armor. Not only cruelty but also a degree of mockery beamed out from the mouse’s scarlet eyes.

But it’s wide-open mouth, and the terrifying teeth bit on Correa’s sword that blocked it timely.

As a High-order Squire, in the most dangerous situation, used the most standard blocking move to save his life. He pushed the round s.h.i.+eld on his left hand forward, aiming the big mouse’s belly.

Fear of the visible was far less than fear of the unknown, as least to Lucien, a human-sized, m.u.f.fled rat, was much more acceptable than “disappearing”.

Taking a deep breath, Lucien didn’t waste any time, he struck toward the giant mouse with the light sword, trying to a.s.sist Correa.

However, at the same time, he heard a low, beast-like roar from behind.

Something happened to Gary? Not waiting for Lucien to think, a sharp knight sword violently hit his back.

The luminous white light of the divine s.h.i.+eld vibrated severely, and rapidly diminished. Also, the great impulsive force coming from the strike almost struck Lucien now, forcing him to fall back.

The sword chased after him, making multiple strikes in a row. Lucien was not able to maintain his balance or take any swings with the light sword. There was also not the time for him to rub the Holy Badge, and use an incantation to activate the divine spells.

Lucien hurriedly dodged the attacks, feeling confused and shocked, “Why is Gary a.s.saulting me?”

A sword strike from the back, if it was not Gary, then there was only one possible circ.u.mstance: Gary was dead!

The knight sword attacked in a well paced, it didn’t give Lucien any chance to steady the center of gravity and compelled him to stumble into the backroom.

Lucien got stroked for several times but realized that he didn’t take any damage. That calmed him a little bit. As long as I have the divine s.h.i.+eld, why would I want to engage in a melee fight with him?

With that thought, when Lucien saw the next swing from the sword, he went on and fell to the ground, rolled over and held the Holy Badge.

Finally, Lucien saw the attacker.

It was Gary, the leading squire who always acted calmly and steadily.

But the muscles on his face were twisted, and red light came out from his eyes, as well as naked savagery.

Was the poison not entirely removed? and could it turn a human into irrational, blood-thirsty beast? Lucien Immediately thought of this when he saw Gary. But why nothing happens to me and I didn’t feel anything strange?

No time to a.n.a.lyze this and that, Lucien concentrated his mind on the Holy Badge, being ready to cast the incantation.

An iron-covered s.h.i.+eld struck forward, hitting the divine s.h.i.+eld.  The light s.h.i.+eld blinked and continued to diminish.

Although the s.h.i.+eld bash didn’t break the divine s.h.i.+eld, but its shock and impact stifled Lucien’s breath, the semi-casted incantation stuck in his throat.

The s.h.i.+eld bashes disturbed Lucien’s breath, he couldn’t concentrate anymore.

As a squire who really has the hope to become a real knight, Gary was well-trained at spell interruption.

Of course, either a priest or a mage, or any other spell casters, would shake their heads and utter a sigh when they see Lucien. Only those who didn’t even learn the fundamental “Casting Focus” would be interrupted by a squire. With the help of first-order Holy Badge of Light and the activated divine s.h.i.+eld, any apprentice priest or mage should be able to kill Gary now.

When facing other cla.s.ses with the same order, casters always have an absolute advantage!

Frustrated by the fact that he couldn’t concentrate and activate the divine spell, Lucien realized that Correa’s condition was increasingly dangerous, the right hand he used to hold the sword was pushed onto his chest, and his wrist started s.h.i.+vering.

Luckily the giant rat he encountered also lacks the strength to continue, and its attacks were less fierce than before.

Unable to cast any incantations, Lucien decided to strike the light sword instead of focusing of activating the divine spells.
