Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 945 927. Crystallized Old Man

 At least half of the Knights of Lothric are princes, and after the coup began, they joined forces with the sages of the Great Library.

 This is something that has been determined early in the morning when the chief priest Emma, ​​Lorenzo and the people of Youshu Church discussed it.

 So it is not surprising that there is an elite knight captain-level sword knight in the sages' library.

 He is dead now anyway.

Even the secretive and dangerous Black Hand of the King was hacked to death by three winged knights in the narrow terrain.

 In terms of personal strength, the king's black hand should be completely superior to the leaders of the three pillars of royal power.

 In this way, the power of the three pillars of royal power can be checked and balanced with the deterrence of assassination with a mere three people.

Of course, a sword knight whose level is limited to that of an elite knight commander would not be able to survive the attacks of several winged knights.

Outside this stairwell, the buzz of magic flying around was still noisy. It was the winged knights who had not yet entered the stairwell, fighting with the magicians outside.

 The sound of dense footsteps was heard under the stairs.

 Obviously, although the magicians did not have an angle to attack the narrow stairwell, they had already moved to surround it.

 In Lan En's arms, Saint Gertrude curled up even more on his chest as if she felt more pain.

With half of his face already crystallized, the remaining half’s brows became more and more wrinkled, and a vague groan of pain came out of his mouth.

 The situation of the saint affects the minds of everyone in this team.

 But only Lan En can still think rationally in the current situation.

 There are two ways.

 Amber cat eyes turned to both sides under the scattered silver hair.

One road is the doorway where the Lothric sword knight sent by the prince just came in. Outside is the outer wall and roof eaves of the big library.

Although the single flight distance of the Winged Knights is not very long, as long as they find a good foothold, they may be able to rush out of the large library directly from the outer wall.

 The other one is the downward staircase in the stairwell. It is conceivable that there will be more sages blocking this road.

 “No, you can’t go outside!”

Klimt, who had just gotten up from the ground in embarrassment, saw Lan En's obviously inclined eyes and immediately spoke to stop him.

The embarrassed archbishop also knew that the situation was urgent, so he spoke very fast.

“There are always gargoyle guards outside the big library! They are defenders from the Capital of Sin! They hold weapons burning with the fire of sin! They can also fly!”

 Gargoyles, Lan En had heard of them in the Magical Middle Ages.

That is a kind of structural object made by mages to protect themselves. The solid magic stone, combined with the magic patterns and the key point of the golem heart, is simply a moving stone block that can kill people.

Even though Lan En didn’t know what the ‘City of Sins’ and ‘Fire of Sins’ were, the word ‘flying’ was enough to make him give up his previous thoughts.

 The advantage of the Winged Knight is the mobility brought by flying.

Once an air battle begins, regardless of whether it can be won or not, the fact that an air battle is far more time-consuming than a land battle is a price that teams eager to break out cannot bear.

 “Go downstairs!”

Lan En made a prompt decision and adopted Klimt's statement, who was familiar with the situation in the area.

 The order has been given, and the Winged Knights faithfully fulfilled it.

 The plump armor rustled, and several stocky and thick figures almost filled the stairs going down.

The Winged Knight who was the first to rush out of the stairs flapped his wings and levitated, and then rushed into the crowd of sages and little slaves who were just coming up to surround him.

 Going down the stairs is a protruding terrace in mid-air. As usual, there are many filled bookshelves, tables, chairs, and candlesticks.

The sages, who were silent and had their heads covered with wax, had already raised their candlestick staffs and began to prepare a storm of blue soul magic.

The little slaves were also squeaking, holding their hot and red weapons and waving them wildly.

But the three winged knights who had already flown out from the narrow stairs had already chosen their positions and were hovering in mid-air with their wings flapping.

 Their weapons were hung on their backs and their hands were open.

That posture does not look like fighting, but rather like an angel receiving inspiration from heaven and being intoxicated with it.

Magicians are not the only spellcasters in this world.

With the murmured words under the helmet of the winged knight, a brief story about angels was described.

Feathers made of white light floated down from nowhere, and bunches of screaming white light began to burst out from random positions on the ground!

 “呲呲呲!”

The bursting white light can feel sharp just by listening to the sound.

Not only does it have the cutting power of a high-energy beam, it also has a huge physical impact.

The beams of light randomly shoot out from bottom to top. If there is no super strong sense of time, there will be no time to react at all.

The bodies of the sages and little slaves were first cut by the white light, then rushed to the sky, and finally fell to the ground like an Arrancar bag.

 After releasing a wave of miracles, the Winged Knights seemed to have exhausted their energy. They fell to the ground and took out their melee weapons again. And those sages who were not affected by the [Angel Light Pillar] seemed to feel no fear at all, and still launched attacks coldly.

The buzz of flying blue light magic and the sound of swords clashing are endless.

And the subsequent team led by Lan En kept walking, passing directly through the tragic and **** battlefield, where they were still fighting each other.

 He rushed all the way towards the bottom of the big library.

The terrace where we were just now is considered the third floor of the large library. This library that has been handed down from the mythical era has really been transformed into a dizzying maze by Lothric.

 The terrain is very complex.

 The further you go down, the greater the resistance.

 It’s not because there are many enemies blocking the front. The sages are also magicians after all, and their fighting styles are different from those of the warriors.

 The reason for the great resistance is that the position of Lan En's small team has become lower.

　　When they were discovered on the highest dome before, these magicians cast their magic from bottom to top. The accuracy was very low and it was very convenient to hide.

 But now as the team goes further down, the sages standing in the middle or upper levels of the big library are now at an advantage.

They now casually threw it downwards, and it was a large rain of blue light arrows that was short but covered an extremely wide area.

 The power of a single one is far inferior to [Soul Giant Arrow], but it covers a wide area and the hit rate is more than doubled!

 The broad body of the Winged Knights is the best target.

The continuous rain of soul arrows, even if the armor of the Winged Knights is resistant to magic, is superimposed on the magic square stone ring that Klimt turned out before the battle.

 Now there are some people who can’t hold on anymore!

At first, the soul arrows hit the Winged Knight, and only the sound of broken magic could be heard.

 But now, the man in the armor also began to moan in pain uncontrollably.

The exaggerated smiling face on the Winged Knight's helmet is also bleeding from the breathing holes! The bright red blood left hideous traces on the silver or gold armor.

 But no one stopped.

Going down another level, there is now a wooden bridge directly in front of the team, spanning the second floor of the large library in mid-air, connecting the two sides of the large library.

The spacious wooden bridge deck was originally empty, but then, a ball of fluttering cloth suddenly appeared in the center of the bridge deck!

The fabric rotated around a ball, and finally stretched out into a wide, raw-edged robe.

 This robe is worn by a familiar figure.

 The extremely large wide-brimmed hat, the crystal ball in the hand, the skinny body covered by the robe

 Crystallized old man!

Unlike the twin brother who was polite on the road to living sacrifice, at least on the surface.

The crystallized old man who works in the big library has shown obvious hostility from the beginning!

His skinny fingers stroked the crystal ball in a circle, and then blue light emitted from the crystal ball. The light condensed into a weightless irregular crystal cluster and floated away from the crystal ball.

Lan En, who never stopped for a moment, was looking at the suspended crystal clusters that were obviously different from ordinary magic.

 His eyes became dark.

 Under [spiritual vision], he saw the essence and changes of this magic.

 Crystals are qualities and appearances, but this magic has not yet reached the level of Osroais, or the forbidden knowledge in the Great Library.

In other words: It is indeed powerful, but it has not yet touched the characteristics of ‘cursed death’.

 The witcher came to the conclusion in his mind that he could get through it, but he still needed strategy.

  Mentos, in the battlefield command state, has provided rough status information of the team members to the subject as a reference for tactical judgment.

Lan En, while holding the increasingly curled-up Ge Cide and sprinting forward, based on this information, completed the tactical plan in an instant.

 He used his free hand to point out the four more seriously injured Winged Knights, and then pointed around.

 The meaning is clear without verbal communication.

The places Lan En pointed out are the places where magic attacks are most concentrated.

Those sages stood at a slightly higher height and poured down the rain of soul arrows unscrupulously, just like blue raindrops hitting the wooden bridge deck.

 Now we need to break out quickly, but we cannot ignore these attacks.

The four winged knights, with blood still flowing from their breathing holes, began to flap their wings without saying a word and resumed their short flight.

 They flew up to the position of the sages, and a massacre followed!

 Lan specially calculated and selected the positions that would have the greatest impact on the team and have the least resistance to cleaning up.

 Generally, there are at most two sages standing in one position. When the Winged Knight goes up, he only needs to swing his ax and turn around to finish the job.

 And the fire suppression gap caused by this is huge!

 The four winged knights were quick and agile, and their victory suddenly reduced the pressure on the team running on the bridge.
