The story of the black silk female knight

She is still injured, her body trembling with fear, but her eyes are exceptionally firm, showing no sign of backing down.

The men in black robes were somewhat surprised, but they remained silent, only looking at Lian with mocking eyes as she tried to block the iron fist of the construct puppet as if she were a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Bang!

Just when the black-robed men thought Lian would be knocked away, Lian took a step back, just out of the range of the construct's iron fist, and then suddenly thrust forward.

Because she had used most of her strength to dodge and was injured, Lian's thrust was almost powerless.

However, the long curved blade itself was quite sharp, and it pierced the construct golem as easily as cutting tofu, causing some damage to the construct golem.

The construct's automatic combat mechanism immediately identified Ren as a high-risk target, ignoring the other girls at its feet and deciding to eliminate Ren first.

The black-robed man, who had summoned the construct puppet with a spell, was about to chant another spell when he saw this, but was interrupted by the protector:

"Wait a minute... Interesting. These foolish sacrifices actually have hope? Do they really think this wounded sacrifice can save them? It's utterly absurd..."

But that's perfect. For my lord, the more brilliant the hope is shattered, the more delicious the despair becomes... Let them struggle a little longer; I need time to prepare here anyway.”

"Yes, Your Excellency."

The man in black obediently stopped casting spells, allowing the construct to fight on its own.

The construct tried to punch Lian a few more times, but Lian managed to dodge them all.

During these days of special training, Valensa gave Lian a lot of extra lessons, and the most important skill she taught Lian was how to dodge efficiently.

Lian is talented and hardworking, and now these talents and efforts have turned into results, allowing her to barely hold her own against constructs that are much stronger than herself.

But soon, the construct changed its attack method.

Seeing that melee attacks were ineffective against Lian, the magical transmission power on the construct suddenly increased, and a large amount of magical power gathered at its chest.

As a construct of the same model, this construct also has a prism installed on its chest, but instead of the red prism that Valensa destroyed, it is cyan-green.

The magic gathered by the construct is wind-attribute magic.

Realizing the construct's intentions, Lian's expression changed drastically. She jumped and blinked repeatedly, trying to escape the construct's locking range.

Unfortunately, her strength was ultimately far inferior, and she was also injured.

Finally, as the construct finished charging, a compressed air cannon, powerful enough to shatter a house, shot towards Lian with a loud bang.

Lian was powerless to resist and was blasted away, flying in an arc before crashing heavily into the dormitory building.

Chapter 291 One in Ten Million Success Rate

"Lotus!" xN

The girls inside the magic circle gasped in surprise, tears welling in their eyes.

Valensa gritted her teeth and pulled out the grass beside her by the roots.

While Lian was fighting the construct, Valensa wanted to rush out to help several times, but she forced herself to hold back each time.

Her emotions made her want to act impulsively, but her reason kept telling her to continue to be patient.

A construct is nothing; Valensa can kill it once, and she can kill it again.

But what happens next?

Having lost her hidden advantage, what will Valensa have to offer in the face of a Star and four Lighthouses?

In the end, they were captured and used as sacrifices.

Valensa had actually considered the option of detonating the bomb to destroy the magical barrier.

However, after hearing that these men in black robes were cultists and having witnessed the protector's methods firsthand, Valensa decided against detonating the bomb directly.

Destroying the magical barrier would certainly attract attention, but even if rescue arrives quickly, it will still take some time.

This amount of time is more than enough for the guardians to kill all the girls... Given the madness of cultists, it's perfectly normal for them to kill the girls without any negotiation.

Valensa dared not gamble; she couldn't afford to lose.

More importantly, she had another plan that sounded incredibly crazy, but if successful, it might save everyone.

These cultists were indeed much stronger than Valensa, but... their setup was too monotonous; they were all spellcasters.

The only warrior class member was eliminated by them.

In this case……

Valensa gripped the hilt of Moonkiss tightly, her mind racing with calculations.

Perhaps it's time to try again at that one in a million chance of success.

However, now is not the time; the best opportunity has not yet arrived.

We must...be patient.

. . . . .

While Valensa was expending a lot of mental energy, the noise from Lian crashing into the dormitory building subsided.

Normally, being hit by an air cannon like that would severely injure a person, even if they don't die, and they would definitely lose the ability to fight back.

However, after scanning the landing point of Lian with the sensory device on its head, the construct did not change its target to other girls, but continued to move towards the dormitory building.

A completely emotionless, mechanical voice also sounded at the same time.

"The threat... has not been eliminated."

"Annihilate... Continue."

Lian isn't dead yet?

The construct's actions made the girls breathe a slight sigh of relief, but they immediately tensed up again.

Having just taken such a heavy blow, even if he's still alive, he must be severely injured, and any further attack would put his life in danger.

"We cannot just watch this lotus be killed! Nor can we sit here and wait to die!"

Sofia suddenly yelled at the girls:

Even if these cultists are just playing cat and mouse to make us more desperate, we must never give up hope!

Think carefully about what the instructors have taught us these past few days! First, let's help Lian defeat the construct golem!

Even if it's just a futile struggle! To survive, we must try our best! We absolutely cannot give up!

"Where's the magic team? What are you all standing around for? Go support Ren!"

"……Understood."

A red-haired girl was the first to stand up, followed closely by the others.

It was clear they were terrified; their faces were pale, their legs were trembling, and their eyes were filled with tears.

But they still stood up, gritted their teeth, and condensed fireballs in their palms.

The four black-robed figures, all of whom were at the Lighthouse level, observed the girls' actions but remained unmoved, even displaying undisguised mockery.

You can struggle, you can struggle, but it's useless.

When hope is shattered, the extreme, agonizing despair makes young girls the ultimate sacrifice.

Boom boom boom boom...

As the girls threw fireballs, multiple bursts of fire erupted from the backs of the construct golems.

Was it successful?

The girls' eyes were full of anticipation, but then immediately turned to disappointment.

The construct remained unharmed.

Come to think of it, how could a fireball with less power than a firefly possibly damage a construct designed with a lighthouse-class as its hypothetical enemy?

They couldn't even get the constructs to turn around and look at them.

Boom, boom, boom.

With heavy steps, the construct continued toward the dormitory building and stopped about ten meters away.

His magical power flowed and condensed once again, and the turquoise prism on his chest began to charge.

Bang!

The air cannon fired again.

Amidst the cracking and breaking of the wood, the dormitory building was blasted open like a piece of tofu being scooped out with a spoon, leaving a large hole in it. Various girls' clothes and personal belongings fell like raindrops.

"Ouch, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."

Along with various other objects, a figure constantly crying out in pain landed on the ground, covered in blood, yet its voice sounded quite strong.

It is a lotus.

Lian's clothes were tattered, her body was covered in scratches and abrasions, and she was limping in one leg... it seemed she had broken her leg in a fall.

Even a real soldier would have collapsed from such an injury, but Lian still stood up, and the long curved knife in her hand transformed into a sword... she must have just taken it out of the room.

"That's enough, Lian! Stop fighting! Give up... You'll die if you keep fighting."

Sofia couldn't bear to watch any longer and shouted at Lian:

"These cultists still need us as sacrifices. We shouldn't be in any danger until their sacrificial ritual is complete... Trust the instructor, Lian. The instructor is definitely trying to save us!"

"..."

In response, Lian merely forced a smile, enduring the pain all over her body:

"But if I stop, won't this construct golem hurt everyone? I don't really understand the tricks of cults, but I understood what that pervert said just now... He wants our blood and tears!"

I'm destined to become a hero and restore my family's glory! How can I just stand by and watch this fragile girl get hurt and cry in front of me?

Indeed, my strength is very weak, and I am not worthy of being called a hero.

But... my determination to become a hero is no less than anyone else's!

I'm betting the Skye family's centuries of glory, I'm betting my life and soul, Lyn Skye's!

As long as I can stand up, I will never... give up the fight!

Don't stop me from pursuing my dreams, Sofia!

As she laughed, Lian shouted again.

Even though she could barely stand, she still raised her sword at the construct:

"Come on! You tin-shelled idiot! Keep shooting me with your air cannon!"

"lotus!!"

Amidst the girls' deeply sorrowful gazes, the construct's air cannon began charging once again.

Even if Your Majesty the Goddess catches you and tortures you in the divine realm, I will still beg her to resurrect you, Lian, absolutely!

Valensa fiercely pulled out another handful of grass, her teeth clenched.

Only the black-robed cultists remained unmoved.

Just when everyone thought a brave young girl was about to sacrifice herself.

A miracle happened.

A beam of light suddenly shot out from the dormitory building, which had a large hole in it, and covered the lotus.

When the light faded, a similarly tattered suit of armor appeared on the battered young girl's delicate body.

Chapter 292 Common sense is meant to be broken.

The girl's delicate body was covered in wounds and blood.

The armor on her delicate body was also badly damaged, covered in cracks, and even missing nearly a third of its length.

Yet these two scarred beings now radiate a light that no one can underestimate.

The brilliance of a Noble Phantasm, and it is a Noble Phantasm passed down through generations.

Even the Star-level cult protector, who was focused on drawing another magic circle, stopped what he was doing and looked at Lian with great surprise.

The fact that a completely destroyed heirloom artifact could shine again is unprecedented... at least there has never been any substantial record of it, not even in those knightly adventure novels.
