The Black Chapter (one hundred and fifteen) resists
In the past, the opponents encountered in the circle of the "sober", and even those captains of the "Empire" that they met in the past half a month, could not really provoke St. John's fighting spirit, because they were not qualified! It's all too weak! There was only one exception - William, a vampire who lived in seclusion in an isolated castle, and was the only one who St. John had always wanted to fight again. Unfortunately, since that hunt for the "blood wolf", St. John has not been able to fulfill his wish for various reasons.
Today, Rook's appearance gave St. John a surprise, but after a tentative move, Rook's giant axe shook St. John's soul, his soul eager to fight, was awakened, regardless of the overall situation, regardless of the position, St. John now just wants to have a fight with the general Rook in front of him!
Luke's thoughts at this time were exactly the same as those of St. John. In their first encounter, it seemed that Rook had the upper hand, but Rook himself did not think so, and he felt that his axe had not been able to destroy St. John's tower shield, which was simply an incredible thing.
Moreover, although St. John was repulsed several meters, there was nothing unusual about his breath or complexion. A fragile human who can take his own axe, Luke's interest in St. John turns from curiosity to eagerness.
With a flick of his left hand, Rook's great axe came out of his hand and turned into a deadly circular saw, flying towards St. John.
The circular saw made by the giant axe was extremely sharp, and St. John could feel a cold wind with the smell of blood blowing on his face several meters away, making his face ach faintly, but St. John did not choose to dodge, but met the sharpness of the circular saw head-on against the tower shield.
The running footsteps suddenly stopped, the right leg was slightly bent in front, the left leg was stretched straight behind the back, the twitching corners of the mouth showed clenched teeth from time to time, and in the splash of gold dust, St. John's left hand struggled to thrust, and cracks spread over the tower shield in his hand, as if the tower shield would collapse. But the crack only spread to a point near the edge of the shield and stopped, and the deadly circular saw jumped in a beautiful arc in the air and fell into the distance.
Resisting the giant axe thrown by Rook, St. John did not have time to rest, and Rook, who rushed up after the giant axe, jumped into the air with a strong foot, and unbelievably caught the giant axe that was bounced off by St. John, as if he was completely sure that the spinning giant axe would never hurt himself.
As soon as he received the giant axe, Luke's right hand swung and fell from mid-air under the tremendous force of his right hand, and the giant axe in his hand smashed into St. John's tower shield.
On the tower shield, the crack that had just stopped expanding moved again, and in an instant it spread to the edge of the tower shield, and finally broke through the limit of what St. John's tower shield could bear, and in the flakes of flying golden light, St. John's tower shield disappeared into the air.
As soon as St. John's tower shield disappeared, Rook's left hand followed, and the toothed blade of the giant axe slashed through St. John's chest from bottom to top. However, Rook's movements were extremely fast, and although St. John's reaction was not slow, the great axe cut into St. John's armor.
The sound of metal grinding was harsh and loud, sparks flew everywhere where the axe blade came into contact with the armor, and St. John, who jumped backwards, was suddenly pushed ten meters away under the attack of Rook's terrifying power, and staggered back a few steps under his feet, and only by inserting the holy light spear in his hand into the ground did he stabilize his body
"Human! If you take an axe from me, are you afraid you will ...... How can it be! Halfway through his words, the confidence and arrogance on his face suddenly disappeared, and he exclaimed, "Impossible! That's impossible! You...... No! Armor on you! Where did it come from? ”
Completely steady, St. John drew his spear into the ground, puffed out his chest, and stared at Rook, the armor on his chest was still so gorgeous and dazzling, and there was nothing but a little scarlet blood on it. This is what surprised Rooke, who thought that his axe, even if it could not seriously injure St. John, should not be a problem to break through St. John's armor, but St. John seemed to be completely fine.
"Why are you surprised?" St. John's hand casually swept over the armor on his chest, and looked at Rook playfully, "Are you disappointed that you failed to destroy my armor?" ”
"Damn humans!" Mocked and teased by a mere human, Rooke, as an "Imperial" general, was furious, flapped his wings, and flew in front of St. John in the blink of an eye, brandishing the giant axe in his hand like a madman, "Say! Mankind! Where did you get your armor? ”
Rook's combat effectiveness is definitely not bad, but he is dominated by anger, and St. John dodges very easily, but he pities the innocent ground and becomes St. John's scapegoat.
"The dignified 'Empire' general, it is too useless to let people lose their minds when they say two words." St. John said lightly, the only small piece of cigar left burning in his mouth, "I can tell you that this armor was given to me by the Godfather." However, I really didn't expect that this armor would be so solid that it would be nothing to take an axe from you. ”
Rook stopped his attack, stared blankly at St. John, and muttered, "Your godfather gave it to you?" Your godfather gave it to you? Your godfather gave it to you? ”
Suddenly, Rook, who had been still for a few seconds, let out a roar of rage and slashed an axe from the front. St. John leaps to the left, dodging Rook's attack, and the axe slashes to the ground.
"Bang!" There was a muffled sound, the dust was flying, and the ground was split by Luke's axe, a crack nearly five meters long, and this time, St. John felt the edge of Luke's axe through his armor.
"Your godfather gave it to you?" Rook pulled out the axe embedded in the ground and slashed at St. John's half-swing and half-flick, the place where the axe blade was cut even gave the illusion that even the space had been cut open, "Your godfather gave it to you?" Just a human being! What qualifications do you have to wear it! I will not allow you to defile it! I'll kill you! ”
"Ridiculous! This armor is a gift from my godfather, so who are you to judge? St. John crossed his two spears in front of him and held up one of Luke's axes, and the huge impact of the axe shook the body of the spear out of cracks, and the ground under St. John's feet also sank more than ten centimeters. Seeing that Rook's other great axe was about to fall, St. John threw it vigorously to the left, and threw the spear in his hand, along with Rook, aside.
The cracked spear fell to the ground and disappeared into golden powder, and two brand-new spears of holy light appeared in St. John's hand, one on the left and one on the right, like a giant pincer, and caught Rook, who had not had time to gain a foothold. In his haste, Rook stepped on the ground with both feet, and with an axe in both hands, he blocked St. John's spear with a great axe, and the two sides were in a stalemate.
"After all, you're just reptiles! That's too arrogant! I see, where did you come from, and you should go back! St. John's face flushed, and he was holding back his strength to plunge his spear into Rook's head.
"Human! Don't think that with this armor, you are invincible! Let me teach you what kind of attitude inferior creatures should have! Rook seemed to be much more relaxed than St. John's, his hands slowly expanding outward, and his two great axes pushed St. John's spear to the sides little by little.
Despite St. John's strength, the difference in physical strength could not be changed after all, and after nearly half a minute of stalemate, Rook still pushed away St. John's two guns, and his backhand was an axe, cutting into the only part of St. John's armor - the head.
With his right hand raised, the golden light flashed on his wrist, and with the armor and a small shield built by the holy light on his wrist, St. John blocked Rook's axe, but Rook's other axe, at this time, aimed at the gap in St. John's defense and cut into St. John's throat.
A golden magic array lit up at St. John's feet, "Cemetery Sanctuary!" ”
St. John quickly recited the incantation, and when Rook's axe was less than twenty centimeters from his throat, a golden cross burst out of the ground, only because of the hastily cast of the magic, this time on a scale far less than the previous one against the two-speared cavalry, only a few crosses sprang up sporadically around St. John. Nevertheless, St. John's purpose was achieved.
When he saw the magic array light up, Rook was ready to rely on the dragon's powerful magic resistance to take St. John's attack, but when the cross emerged from the ground, Rook still had to choose to give up the attack and retreat to dodge. After all, as a dragon, even if Rook could block the divine magic contained in the cross, when the cross summoned by St. John, who was wearing artifact armor, rushed out of the ground, the powerful physical impact was not something that Rook was sure to be able to completely block.
Forcing Rook back, St. John was about to take advantage of the victory and attack Rook, but forgot about the dragons' housekeeping skills.
Luke, who retreated into the distance, opened his mouth and spat out a black dragon's breath at St. John's, and the scorching temperature of the dragon's breath directly burned the ground to black.
St. John still had faith in the armor given to him by the godfather, but it was better to be cautious in everything, and the dragon's breath pounced, and the two spears in St. John's hands disappeared, and his hands were bent and brought together in front of him, and a huge tower shield more than a man high was built on the back of his hand.
Almost at the same time that St. John's tower shield was constructed, the dragon's breath sprayed onto St. John's tower shield. The tower shield lived up to St. John's expectations and successfully blocked Rook's dragon breath, but the fiery temperature of the dragon breath still reached St. John's body, scorching St. John's spirit and body.
To make matters worse, Rook's dragon breath, unlike ordinary "Imperial" soldiers, not only has blazing flames in it, but also has a "dark" magical element. Light and darkness are mutually exclusive, and St. John's tower shield soon has a rejection reaction, and the light element becomes extremely unstable, and there is a tendency to break away from St. John's control.
If it continues, once the light element and dark element on the tower shield are completely out of control, the unlucky one must be himself, and Rook in the distance does not have to worry about being affected at all, thinking of this, St. John stepped forward with all his might, and approached Rook step by step with the dragon's breath.
St. John's approach seemed to irritate Rook, and he increased the fire of the dragon's breath, seemingly trying to completely defeat St. John before he could get close to him. However, the increase in the firepower of the dragon's breath also means the increase of the dark element, and on the St. John's tower shield, the reaction speed of the two elements is also accelerating, and St. John's tower shield has become a time bomb that may explode at any time.
"Luke, this brainless, brute idiot!" De Lael, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't sit still, and he estimated that if he didn't stop it, with the strength of Rook and St. John, once the light and dark elements on the tower shield exploded, the destructive power would be absolutely terrifying, and he and the "Empire" army would definitely be affected.
The blazing heat suddenly disappeared, and the elements on the tower shield stabilized, and St. John was about to stick out his head to probe what was going on, when a powerful force struck his tower shield, and the tower shield shattered instantly, and St. John fell backwards to the ground. When St. John quickly got up from the ground, he saw that Luke in the distance was treated the same way as him, and was about to get up from the ground, and between him and Luke, there was an additional soldier of the "Empire".
"Who are you?" St. John felt a strong threat in the "Imperial" soldier.
The "Imperial" soldier takes off his helmet, "'Imperial' General, Delaere. ”
Dressed in the standard armor of an "Imperial" soldier, holding a spear that is also standard for "Imperial" soldiers, St. John could barely distinguish the guy in front of him from other "Imperial" soldiers, except for the rather evil human face that did not take on the shape of a dragon after taking off his helmet. “
Are you Delaer? The supreme commander of the 'Empire' who attacked the Vatican, General De Laere? Listening to the tone of St. John's voice, there was some doubt about the identity of the other party.
Without waiting for the other party to prove himself, Rook, who had just gotten up from the ground, scolded first, "Delael! What are you doing? Don't think that you are the commander-in-chief of the operation and can act recklessly! You know it yourself! In class, we are the same! All are the generals of the 'Empire'! Blatantly attacking an 'Imperial' general! Are you going to rebel? ”
"Shut up! You limbed, simple-minded fool! De Laere turned around and threw out a blood-red ball of light with his backhand, hitting Rook in the chest, knocking Rook to the ground again, "I'm saving your life!" Do you understand? I really don't know how you got into the general! No magic at all! If you can't quickly suppress the opponent, use the dark dragon's breath to attack the shield built by the holy light! Do you want our precious 'Empire' soldiers to be buried collectively by these lowly human beings? ”
