Chapter 217: Chapter 211: Hanging Upside Down
The skull-like Clone Well looked at his “master” with a skeptical face. He and Lancelot were linked telepathically and could somewhat sense each other’s emotions, yet from the Human Knight there came not a trace of fear or urgency.
“I’m acting as him, play along.”
“Huh?” Lancelot’s voice suddenly rang in the skull’s mind, which startled him at first, but he quickly caught on. “How should I play along?”
“Anything!” the Human Knight replied briefly and then fell silent. That was because Enrique had suddenly launched a series of rapid and dense thrusts, forcing him to focus completely on the defense, making the scene extremely perilous for a moment.
“Boss! Boss, are you reaching your limit? Wuuwuuwuu, don’t die, boss!!” After a brief silence, the skull suddenly started howling, startling everyone else, “Boss, don’t push yourself! Let’s kill him together!”
“You guys... are not... my match!” Lancelot rolled his eyes inwardly, but still went along with the skull’s spur-of-the-moment idea, “Run! I can still... hold on!!”
“Boss! We... we will remember you!” The skull’s blunt response almost made Lancelot choke; was this acting too rough?
The rest looked at the skull with odd expressions, bewildered by its abnormal behavior. However, it was the Dwarf who reacted first. In a way, he was the one who had been tormented by Lancelot the most in the team, so he understood best that the Human Knight always had endless tricks up his sleeve.
“Then we’re off!” Bruto shouted towards Lancelot, while turning his head to wink at his companions, “We’ll wait for you at Skeleton Tower... if you survive...”
Everyone’s faces showed puzzlement, first the skull, and then Bruto; these two were acting so strangely.
But the Dwarf’s expression gave them a hint, and they all began moving toward the door. Little Isha was very reluctant, but Kalalin whispered ‘Enreyes’ in her ear, and the clever girl immediately understood.
Compared to Qingyuan Sword Technique, the Gathering Qi Slash couldn’t emit Sword Aura for a sustained effect, but its instant explosive effect was still impressive, and it could be executed from any part of his body, so as long as the timing was right, it could still play a decisive role.
As Lancelot kicked, his hands were also busy. He formed a spell, and suddenly a large cluster of tendrils surged at the edge of the cliff, tightly wrapping around the human knight in mid-air, preventing him from plunging into the void below.
Meanwhile, Enrique, who had been blasted into mid-air by that kick, was tumbling downward outside of Lancelot. Almost instinctively, the human knight stretched out his hand and grabbed one of the Dark Guardian’s arms, suspending him mid-air.
“You’ve lost,” Lancelot calmly said. “Throw down your weapon, and I can pull you up.”
In response, the Dark Guardian did not hesitate to swing his longsword.
But before the enemy could raise his arm, Lancelot had already sensed danger and immediately detected Enrique’s intention to exert force. The Qingyuan Sword Technique subconsciously activated, and a translucent Sword Aura was emitted from the upside-down human knight’s palm, shredding the arm holding him and severing this Fallen Paladin’s hope for survival.
“What’s the point,” Lancelot’s gaze followed the figure of his powerful adversary rolling downwards, uttering a soft sigh.
“Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Cheers came from nearby; they were his teammates celebrating his victory. A smile also appeared on Lancelot’s face, and just as he was about to control the tendrils to bring himself back to the ground, a glimpse in the corner of his eye caught a sight that made his expression freeze.
Below, the Dark Guardian fell hundreds of feet before hitting a rockface. The expected scene of his body shattering didn’t occur; rather, the rockface disappeared like an illusion, revealing a pitch-black opening, and Enrique’s figure vanished into the opening.
