This knight is too perfect

Chapter 85: The Power of the Dragon's Roar [ words]

In the dim underground space, Rhine walked alone in this deserted underground passage.

Perhaps it was because Jet in front had already eliminated a large number of enemies.

Or maybe it's for other reasons.

As a result, wherever Rhine goes, all he can see are corpses.

I no longer saw any other living people, and it was eerily quiet.

As for the ordinary law enforcement team members who originally followed him.

Rhine didn't expect them to come back after they left.

After all, this has nothing to do with responsibility or bravery.

But at the moment, when it comes to extraordinary things like this, the role that ordinary people can play is too small.

So even if they didn't leave at that time.

Rhine will not allow them to participate in subsequent actions.

Because of how complicated and dangerous it is here.

This is already beyond the limits of ordinary law enforcement team members.

You know, it was in the original plan.

The role of the law enforcement team is only to help ordinary people trapped in the underground space.

Instead of having them fight against the Beyonders and other Beyonder monsters that exist here.

Therefore, their departure is not an escape, but a return to where they belong.

After passing through another dark and narrow passage, Rhine came to a dark room again.

But what appeared in front of Rhine this time was not the powerful bronze-level extraordinary creature Stone Spider.

Nor are they the cold-blooded stalkers of the 'Eight-Eyed Secret Society'.

Instead, they are a group of poor children with empty eyes, as if they have lost their souls.

This group of children were locked up in one cell after another, looking blankly at Rhine who was walking over here.

Looking at this group of children, Rhine's brows instantly frowned.

Because he vaguely guessed the purpose of Bayan capturing these children.

If his inference is correct.

What he saw along the way were the eight-eyed stalkers killed by Jet.

There were many people who had been captured by the Eight-Eyes like these children and locked in these cages.

With this thought in mind, Rhine immediately walked to a prison cell and cut the shackles on the cell with a sword.

As the cell was opened, Rhine said gently, "Come out, everything is fine."

However, in response to Rhine's words, the children in the cell did not take any direct action.

Instead, he looked at Rhine with great fear and curled up in the corner of the cell, as if he was afraid of being released.

When Rhine saw this, he immediately understood the seriousness of the matter.

They also immediately realized how much fear the eight-eyed man had brought to them.

There was no doubt that the group of kids had mistaken him for the man with eight eyes.

In order to get these children away from this dangerous place as soon as possible, Rhine thought for a moment.

He changed his gentle tone and said in a more serious voice: "I order you to come out now."

Surprisingly, after hearing this almost cruel and ruthless order, the children

Although he was also scared, he still obediently walked out of the prison.

Then Rhine used the same method to release the other children in the prison one by one.

Rhine made a rough estimate and found that there were about sixty or seventy children imprisoned here.

Among these people were children who were arrested and detained for a period of time.

There were also children who had been captured not long ago.

There should have been more people in this cell.

Because Rhine discovered that many of the prisons here were still empty.

But soon, Rhine understood why the cell was empty.

I followed Rhine to the end of the prison.

After pushing open the iron door leading to other areas, Rhine's pupils shrank instantly.

What appeared before Rhine was a horrifying area filled with torture instruments.

The torture racks that could be seen everywhere were hung with rusty torture instruments stained with brown blood.

The ground beneath my feet looked clean, but I could feel a disgusting stickiness with every step.

As for the so-called "sticky feeling", it was caused by the blood flowing from the bodies of children that were thrown around like garbage.

Their blood spread to the ground, and with repeated cleaning, it gradually seeped into every crack in the ground, even penetrating deep into the stone tiles of the floor, making it difficult to wipe off.

Feeling the lingering smell of blood in the air, Rhine couldn't imagine how much blood had to have stained it.

Only then can such a disgusting scene be created.

It is also hard to imagine that just above this space is the prosperous and peaceful Adrian.

If there is heaven above.

Then this place is undoubtedly hell, a man-eating hell.

"How about it, do you like my masterpiece?"

"After all, only by experiencing the fear of death can one overcome this fear and not be afraid of death."

Rhine looked in the direction of the sound and saw a dwarf fiddling with a still warm corpse not far away.

The knife in his hand kept cutting the corpse, and soon separated the muscles and bones.

In response, Rhine did not respond. Instead, he pointed to the crow on his shoulder and said to a little girl who had just been captured, "Follow it, it will lead you to the ground."

After saying that, the crow on Rhine's shoulder left his shoulder and flew over the little girl's head.

But after hearing Rhine's words, the little girl did not take any action, but grabbed the corner of Rhine's clothes even more tightly.

Obviously, he didn't dare to go too far away from the Rhine.

Seeing this, Rhine thought for a moment and then squatted down.

Then he took out the knife from his waist that he inherited from his teacher Fergus.

And put it in the little girl's hands.

The little girl looked confused at Rhine's behavior.

In response, Rhine said gently: "Have you heard the story about the knight?"

The little girl nodded.

After all, in the Principality of Morton, knights are respected.

What is most lacking is stories about knights.

This naturally includes many fairy tales based on knights.

"Since you have heard the stories about knights, you should know that in the stories, the bad guys will always be defeated by the knights in the end."

Hearing this, the little girl seemed to understand something and immediately asked with a look of longing: "Are you a knight?"

Rhine smiled and nodded, then slowly stood up.

He turned and looked at the dwarf who had stopped playing with the corpse not far away, and decisively drew the Sword in the Stone from his waist.

"Believe in me, and believe in yourself, because you who hold that knife are also a knight."

"And a knight should not be afraid of the darkness."

"So, take you and the rest of your friends and follow it."

Hearing this, the little girl nodded seriously.

He followed Rhine's words and took the others to follow Rhine's Shadow Crow, disappearing into the passage behind.

During this process, the dwarf Zachary was just a bystander and did not do anything to stop it.

When he and Rhine were the only ones left in the entire underground space, the former owner of the Eight-Eyed Antique Shop, the dwarf Zachary, finally spoke again.

"Boring game of knights."

"I originally wanted to have some fun with these little cuties before I died."

"But I didn't expect that fate would let me meet a rare toy like you at the last moment of my life."

"Do you think what I said is right? Princess Lilitha's guardian knight, Rhine Simmons, is only thirteen years old but is already a Black Iron Rank Beyonder."

"Meeting you at this time is truly the greatest surprise that fate has given me."

As the short man Zachary spoke, he walked down from the stage and approached Rhine.

And looking at the pale-faced dwarf Zachary with a fatal claw mark on his chest.

Rhine said calmly: "A surprise from fate? I think it is fate's judgment on you, a judgment on your dirty soul that plays with life."

Hearing what Rhine said, the dwarf Zachary was not angry.

He looked at Rhine's waist and said meaningfully: "I have indeed been judged, but this judgment has nothing to do with you, but with that damn white wolf."

"I can feel my life slipping away, like a candle in the wind, ready to go out at any moment."

"But before that, I will kill you first, and use this to prove that the stalker Zachary is not the kind of loser who can be crushed to death and kicked away without any care."

"So, foolish knight, take out your left hand. I know you have been pointing it at me from the beginning."

"I think if I had attacked suddenly just now, I would have been caught off guard by the thing in your hand, right?"

Hearing about the dwarf Zachary, Rhine simply stopped pretending and directly took out the Silver Grim Reaper hidden in his clothes.

Because everything was just as he said.

Just now, Rhine seemed to be comforting the children behind him, and left the huge flaw on his back to the dwarf Zachary.

But in fact, these were all intentional by Rhine, and he deliberately exposed these flaws.

Because as long as Zachary thought he had seized the opportunity and got close to the Rhine to a certain distance.

Rhine, who had been locking onto him with Shadow Crow, would immediately activate the guaranteed hit effect of Silver Reaper.

As long as the distance is close enough, the seriously injured bronze-level stealth attacker will definitely find it difficult to react.

But unfortunately, Zachary is not only cruel, but he is also cautious enough.

It didn't go as Rhine wished.

However, even though Zachary knew his intentions, Rhine did not panic.

Because he doesn't need to do anything much, just stand there and wait.

Just wait for Zachary to slowly die from the claw wound on his chest.

And Zachary naturally knew what Rhine knew.

So he looked at Rhine, drew out the dagger from his waist, pointed at the silver flintlock in Rhine's hand, and described everything like the back of his hand.

"Silver Death, a gift from the extraordinary blacksmith of Furnace City to Count Randy."

"This weapon has two greatest features."

"One is that it can give bullets different extraordinary properties based on the effects of different source materials."

"Second, it can give the bullet a special effect on the fate side."

"However, its shortcomings are equally obvious..."

Before Zachary could finish his words, his figure instantly disappeared from where he was.

Almost at the same time, Rhine decisively pulled the trigger of the Silver Reaper.

boom!
Violent holy flame bullets shot out from the barrel of the gun, with an attribute that guaranteed to hit the target.

The bullet drew a trajectory in the air and shot towards Zachary who suddenly appeared in the shadow in front of Rhine's left.

Faced with this incredibly powerful holy flame bullet, Zachary simply threw the dagger in his hand.

The accompanying guaranteed-hit feature caused the Holy Flame Bullet to immediately change its flight trajectory and try to avoid the dagger.

It’s just that Zachary’s dagger seemed to have some extraordinary properties as well.

It suddenly changed its position in the air and blocked Rhine's Holy Flame Bullet.

boom!
The collision between the dagger and the holy flame bullet immediately caused a shocking explosion.

Almost at the same time as the explosion occurred, Zachary once again burst out with his terrifying speed and crossed the flames of the explosion.

He caught up with Rhine, who had entered the rear passage as soon as the Holy Flame Bullet was fired. "...The biggest drawback of the Silver Reaper is that it must be loaded manually."

"Now that you have fired a bullet, do you still have the ability to load a new one?"

In the dim prison area.

Zachary caught up with Rhine and continued to attack while mocking Rhine's weakness.

The amazing ghostly speed made Rhine only able to dodge with difficulty and unable to launch an effective counterattack.

Because Rhine simply couldn't keep up with Zachary's speed.

Pfft!

Zachary's knife cut Rhine's shoulder, leaving a shallow scar on it.

If Rhine hadn't raised his sword in advance to defend his vital points.

Then his knife might have directly cut Rhine's neck.

But even though he managed to dodge the knife, Rhine's dangerous situation was not over.

Because in front of a veteran Bronze-level Extraordinary like Zachary.

Even with the two extraordinary weapons, 'Silver Death' and 'First Judgment', and the existence of a large number of knights' protection.

Rhine's physical disadvantages were magnified to an alarming degree.

Even though Zachary was seriously injured at this moment and his strength was not as good as before.

But his speed was still beyond Rhine's reach.

More importantly, Xhaka seems to be very proficient in killing skills and has rich combat experience.

In this way, Rhine could only defend himself while running out of the prison.

He looked like he wanted to escape as quickly as possible.

Just as Rhine was about to reach the prison area, the door leading to other areas.

Rhine's body suddenly staggered, and then was scratched by Zachary again.

There was a knife wound on the arm so deep that the bone was visible.

There was purple liquid on the knife wound.

It was obviously a toxin that Rhine had never seen before.

Looking at Rhine, whose complexion was getting worse and worse and was affected by the toxin, Zachary smiled and said, "Do you feel the fear of death?"

Zachary is extremely confident about himself at this moment.

Because at the moment, Rhine was not only poisoned by the spider poison, but also his only escape route was blocked by him.

Therefore, at this moment, Rhine had no choice but to stay and be buried with himself.

Zachary couldn't imagine any other ending for him.

But when Rhine raised his head and looked at him, Zachary suddenly felt something was wrong.

Because Rhine's eyes were extremely calm at this moment, and they didn't look like a desperate person in a desperate situation at all.

"Could it be?!"

Zachary looked around suddenly.

I saw that he had already come from the relatively spacious area to the relatively narrow gate area.

Although Zachary didn't know what this meant, his years of experience and the strong sense of uneasiness in his heart made him make a decision instantly.

No, he couldn't stay here, he had to move to another location.

It’s a pity that although Zachary had the right idea, Rhine didn’t give him the opportunity to put it into practice.

Because Rhine was certain from the beginning that he would come to this position.

This was the destined grave he had chosen specifically for Zachary.

"Roar!"

A deafening roar came out of Rhine's mouth.

The exaggerated sound wave like a tsunami covered Zachary's whole body in an instant.

As a 'stalker' with extraordinary skills, Zachary is fast, but his speed is not fast enough to exceed the speed of sound.

Within a range of five meters, he was hit by Rhine's dragon roar.

Zachary's body immediately became like a doll.

Along with many of the surrounding railings that were blown away, it smashed heavily into a wall of the prison area.

Boom...

Although the most powerful wave of dragon roar has ended.

But its impact on the prison area has not completely ended.

Just in front of Rhine, the originally messy prison area seemed to have been baptized by a storm.

It formed a cone-shaped, dilapidated ruin full of cracks and gray stone bricks.

And in one of the walls of the ruins, there was a dishevelled figure covered in blood.

"Cough cough cough..."

Zachary spat out a mouthful of blood, looked with horror at Rhine, who was pale and barely standing with both hands on the sword, and asked the doubts in his heart.

"Why do you wait until now to use it? Aren't you afraid of death?"

Hearing this, Rhine looked up at the passage behind Zachary.

Unlike the cold look he gave Zachary, Rhine's eyes were full of tenderness as he looked towards the passage.

He looked into the deep passage and gave the answer Zachary wanted.

"That's because I need to make sure those children have left here safely."

"I can't bring them into this danger."

As he spoke, Rhine forced himself to hold on, slowly pulled out the Silver Death Sword from his arms, and pointed it at Zachary who was embedded in the wall.

boom!
As Rhine pulled the trigger, the cold barrel of the Silver Reaper immediately shot an ordinary bullet at Zachary.

Under normal circumstances, such an ordinary bullet would not pose any threat to Zachary at all.

But at this moment, Zachary was seriously injured and dying, and had no ability to move at all.

This ordinary bullet is like the falling scythe of the god of death.

As Zachary looked horrified, a bullet pierced through his forehead.

Looking at Zachary, who had completely stopped moving and no longer had any "voice".

Rhine's hand holding the Silver Grim Reaper slowly dropped and he lay heavily on the ground.

He looked at the ceiling above his head, which was full of cracks but had not yet completely collapsed.

With a voice that only he could hear, he chuckled and said, "I said, this is fate's judgment on you."

"Similarly, my chivalry is not a game for hypocrites."

"I don't need to prove this to anyone, I just need to prove it to myself..."

After saying that, Rhine, who was already exhausted after experiencing two brutal battles in a row, completely fainted.

And not long after he fainted, the shattered ceiling above his head fell down.

Just at the moment when the rubble was about to hit the Rhine.

The witch's ring on Rhine's left ring finger instantly transformed into an elegant figure.

She raised her hand, and countless crow feathers immediately turned into an impenetrable barrier.

And Rhine's unconscious body was firmly protected inside.

And when the landslide was over, Anna scattered her crow feathers and placed her hand on Rhine's unconscious cheek.

In a voice that only she could hear at this moment, she said, "So, are you so sure that a witch will save you at the critical moment?"

But not long after she said this, Anna laughed.

Because at this moment she didn't need Rhine's response, she already had the answer in her heart.

"Yes, if it were you, you would be so sure."

"Because the one you trust is never the witch, but Ana Ortiz."

"The Ana Ortiz you firmly chose and deemed worthy of redemption."

After saying that, Anna's figure slowly disappeared and turned into a ring again, which was firmly worn on the ring finger of Rhine's left hand.

And before disappearing, Anna left behind her last words.

"Rhine, anyone in this world may question you, but I won't."

"Because Anna has already seen the answer in your heart through your soul."

"I swear to fate with my soul that your chivalry is never a hypocrite's game, but a true practice."

"I also believe that you will help Anna make up for the mistakes she has made, and prevent the nun named 'Nona' from continuing on that wrong path in the future."

"After all, although Anna's soul has been redeemed, Anna's body is drifting away from her soul..."

Late at night, inside the Cathedral of Holy Light in the capital of the Principality of Morton.

"Sister Nona, what's wrong with you?"

The nun named Nona came back to her senses and looked at the kind-faced archbishop beside her. She shook her head and said, "It's okay, Archbishop Clement. It may be because I have been praying to the Lord for His Majesty Morton day and night during this period, which has caused my mind to be in a trance."

Hearing this, Clement immediately said with emotion: “Nona, you have worked hard during this period.”

"You are the one with the most steadfast and pure faith among all the believers I have met in all these years."

"And your faith is not only seen by me, but also by other people in the church."

As he spoke, Clement took out an admission letter from his arms and handed it to Nona.

Looking at the admission letter, Nona showed a puzzled expression on her face.

Because this is not an admission letter from the Church Study College.

Instead, it was an admission letter from the Royal Knights Academy in the capital of the Principality of Morton.

She's just a nun in a church.

Why should you study at the Royal Knight Academy, which specializes in training knights?
Clement looked at Nona, who looked puzzled, and gave an explanation with a smile.

"Nona, you are the one with the strongest faith among the nuns of your age in the Capital Cathedral."

"And I also believe that you will definitely be able to stick to your own beliefs and spread the glory of our Lord to the princes and princesses who are or will soon come here at the Royal Knights Academy."

"Spreading the Lord's faith to unbelievers, Nona, is both a test from the Lord and a blessing from the Lord. Do you have the faith to accomplish it?"

After hearing what Clement said, Nona immediately understood the meaning of this admission letter.

She fixed her eyes on the time on the admission notice.

And this time is September in the second half of the year.

And as far as Nona knows, among the people who enrolled in Morton Royal Knights Academy this time.

In addition there are two princes and princesses from the Morton royal family.

There is also another person with a special identity.

That is Lilitha Arcade, the fifth princess of the Akkad royal family, who came to the Principality of Morton as an exchange.

Thinking about his mission and the complications he might encounter when entering the academy this time.

Nona didn’t back down.

She took the admission letter handed to her by Clement with an extremely determined expression.

"Respected Archbishop Clement, Nona will prove the greatness of the Lord to the princes and princesses, and let them feel the warmth of the Holy Light."

Hearing this, Clement smiled and nodded, seemingly not doubting it.

Because Nona is not only the one with the strongest faith among her peers in the Capital Cathedral.

She is also the most beautiful one among her peers.

He believed in Nona's faith, but he also believed in Nona's charm.

Otherwise, there are many nuns who can be sent to the cathedral.

There are also many people who can be sent to the Royal Knights Academy to carry out this task.

Why did Clement choose Nona?
faith?

No, what Clement really valued was Nona's outstanding beauty among all the nuns.
