Chapter 202: The Shadow Lock and the Averse

Naturally, Kaphne knew what she was up against.

This knight in blood armor is none other than the three hundred horsemen of the Red Knight, the god of war—

…… One of them.

Every "heroic horseman" is a hero who has fought to the death on the most fierce battlefield. They were protected by the god of war, and after death they regained their physical bodies, becoming walking symbols of "war".

This is a more urbane way of saying.

To put it simply, it is to become a mercenary under the god of war.

"Heroic horseman" is the best type of messenger of the righteous gods, and there is no one.

As long as the Red Knight's ritual needs are met, he can be summoned to the present world...... The content of the ritual of summoning the "Heroic Horseman" was also passed around by the missionaries of the Red Knights, so as to continue to maintain the continuation of the local war in a peaceful environment.

“…… Tut. ”

Kaphne pursed her lips, slightly annoyed.

It is time to remind His Excellency Annan to summon the ...... of the British Horsemen

For the ritual requirements of "Ritual: Arrival of the Heroic Horse", only "An Upcoming War of the Transcendents" and "Low-level Influence: Breath of War" are relatively rare materials. All the remaining materials are things that can be bought from the mortal market:

For example, the blade of a sword that was stained with blood and rust, the armor that has been soaked in the smell of the battlefield, the complete skull of a horse...... And a tube of veterans' blood.

Low-tier influences are the product of distorted spells, and war itself is a ceremonial field. Almost no money is spent - even mortals can replace summoning with spells with "war" elements.

Other than that, the only limitation ......

That is, if the "other side of the war" has succeeded in summoning the British horse, this side can no longer summon it.

This was the Red Knight's measure to encourage the summoning of the Knights.

Because the side that summoned the British cavalry had to start a war in one day. If they summon the Heroic Cavalry and rely on this repressive power to force the other side to end the war and seize the benefits outside the battlefield, then this is a betrayal and exploitation of the god of war.

If they had finally chosen to retreat and not start a war, the British would have attacked them in turn. For this reason, the British Knights are also known as the "Overseers of the Red Knights".

So think about it, it makes sense that His Excellency Annan did not summon the British cavalry, after all, they were on the defensive. I can't confirm if the other party is transcendent......

“…… But it's just a pity. ”

Kaphne opened her eyes slightly, her hands clenched subconsciously.

A red aura of strength and courage flickered violently in her eyes—and with the blessing of psychic power, countless shadow tentacles emerged from the vast pool of shadows cast in front of her.

Kaphne knew about the British cavalry, and naturally knew that the safest combat strategy was to limit the British cavalry's charge.

A British rider who can't charge is just an ordinary silver-level swordsman with no special abilities.

But for Kaphne, it's also tantamount to limiting herself—

Kaphne's tentacles can only be summoned from the shadows cast by herself.

Other words...... Under the skirt is just a "last resort insurance".

As she unfolds her clothes, every corner of the huge shadow cast from the light source behind her, whether it's in the air or on the ground, can shape the shadow into tentacles as she pleases!

By this time, the knight had already rushed to the middle of the shadows.

His armor screeched like a living thing.

The tentacles didn't seem to react—

The blood-armored knight was already wrapped in a scarlet torrent, like a crimson ominous comet, galloping towards him!

But the next moment.

Countless shadow tentacles shot out from the shadows of the ground, completely binding the knight in an instant!

The tentacles all came from behind him, locking the knight's neck, chest, arms—and the head and feet of the heavily armored horse under his crotch!

There are more than forty tentacles, each of which is only the thickness of a finger.

But he tied up the British cavalry who was originally charging in place!

The Blood-Armored Knight, like a giant insect trying to break free from a cobweb, struggled to do so.

But as Kaphne's eyes opened completely, the red aura under her eyes suddenly flourished!

In addition to the tentacles that protruded from the ground behind the knight, tentacles also appeared in the void in all directions.

Each of the tentacles of this batch is the thickness of an adult forearm. They slowly tightened the rock-strong knight with the squeak of their armor. The limbs and the skull were twisted into the corners.

"Uh-"

Under the overwhelming force, even the messengers of God...... Ying Qi couldn't help but let out a muffled snort in a low voice.

The blood light all over his body continued to flow violently, and the tentacles made a creaking sound. For a moment, the two were at an impasse, but as the tentacles slowly added one after another, the situation gradually began to deviate in Kaphne's favor.

The knight was slowly dragged off his horse.

He immediately reached out and grabbed the surrounding ground and walls, trying to break free of his chains. I saw that those walls were like tofu, and he kept scratching them, but he couldn't change the fact that he was dragged backwards by his tentacles.

Until the knight was dragged to the center of the shadow—

Countless tentacles emerged from the void in all directions, grabbing every position in the knight's body!

The tentacles lifted him high off the ground in an instant, and no longer based on his chance of returning to the ground.

Having lost the support and relay of the earth, the knight became extremely helpless in the air.

Seeing that he was about to be slowly torn apart by tentacles in the air.

But the next moment.

I heard only one gunshot—

The waist lamp behind Kaphne was suddenly shattered by a bullet!

At that moment, the shadow in front of Kaphne instantly dissipated.

The dozens of tentacles bound to the knight's body dissipated like bubbles.

On the contrary, because of the strength of his whole body and the pull of his tentacles, he fell directly to the ground, staggered and got up very reluctantly—obviously he was also not lightly injured.

Kaphni, on the other hand, immediately looked in the direction where the gunshots rang out.

It was a man with a strange helmet with thirteen lenses on his head, covering only his eyes, and a sad mouth at the corner.

He was carrying a large, long, sniper-like gray firearm.

“…… And the ashsmith's messenger? ”

Kaphne frowned.

This is the messenger of the false god "God of Memories and Despair" Ashsmith, the misathropy.

Their attacks are ineffective against the living, but they are the best interceptors and harassers—

The Athropy can attack all non-thinking objects. And can only be brought down by attacks that do not have a mind.

In other words, he is immune to all contact attacks and nearly all direct damage spells, and he cannot be slashed by a sword or injured by a bow or arrow...... But it can be wounded by guns and crossbows.

At this time, two tentacles suddenly popped out under Kaphne's skirt, wrapped around Kaphne's calf and gently threw it.

The blood-colored streamer stabbed by Ying Qi was also easily dodged by her in this way.

“…… Tut. ”

Kaphne couldn't help but smack her mouth.

The situation at hand was a bit troublesome for her......

She and the object-averse couldn't touch anyone.

But Kaphne's lamp was broken by him.

Without the blessing of shadows, facing two silvers at the same time is inevitably ......

That's when it happened.

"Highness Kaphni, here we are!"

The child's uplifted voice rang out.
