Chapter 945 927. The Crystalized 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 was something that had been determined early in the morning when Emma, the priest, Lorenzo, and the people from the Netherworld Church discussed it.
So it is not surprising that an elite knight captain-level sword knight appears 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 three pillars of royal power can be checked and balanced with the deterrence of assassination on a scale of only three people.
Of course, a broadsword knight whose level is limited to that of an elite knight commander cannot survive the attacks of several winged knights.
Beyond this stairwell, the buzz of flying magic is still noisy. It is the winged knights who have not yet entered the stairwell, fighting with the magicians outside.
There were dense footsteps 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 Gerard curled up even more on his chest as if she felt more pain.
With half of the face already crystallized, the remaining half's brows became more and more frowning, and a vague groan of pain came out of his mouth.
"Wow"
The saint's situation affects the hearts and minds of everyone in the team.
But only Lan En can still think rationally in the current situation.
There are two roads.
The 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 climbed up from the ground in embarrassment, saw Lan En’s obviously inclined eyes and immediately stopped 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 Crime! They hold weapons burning with the fire of sin! They can also fly!"
Gargoyles, Lann had heard it in the Magical Middle Ages.
It is a kind of construction item made by mages to protect themselves. The solid magic stone, combined with the magic pattern and the key point of the golem heart, is simply a stone block that can move and kill people.
Although Lan En didn't know what the 'City of Sin' and 'Fire of Sin' were, the word 'flying' was enough to make him give up his thoughts. .
The advantage of the Winged Knight is the mobility brought by flying.
And once an air battle begins, regardless of whether it can win, 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 below!”
Lan made a prompt decision and adopted Klimt’s advice, 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 was the first to flap his wings and levitate, 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, as well as 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 for the stormy 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 floating in the air with their wings flapping.
Their weapons were slung on their backs, their hands outstretched.
The 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.
As the words murmured 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 white light with screams began to burst out from random positions on the ground!
"Bah!"
The bursting white light can feel sharp just by hearing the sound.
Not only does it have the cutting power of a high-energy beam, it even has a huge physical impact.
Without a strong sense of time, there would be no time to react to the beams of light that shot out randomly from bottom to top.
The bodies of the sages and little slaves were first cut by the white light, then rushed into 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.
The subsequent team led by Lan En kept walking, passing directly through the tragic and bloody 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 was considered the third floor of the large library. This library that had been handed down from the mythical era had really been transformed into a dizzying maze by Lothric.
The terrain is very complex.
The further down you go, the greater the resistance becomes.
It’s not because there are so 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, the magic of these magicians was cast from bottom to top, with very low accuracy, 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.
Now they casually threw it down, and it was a large blue light arrow rain that was short but covered a very wide area.
A single one is far less powerful than [Giant Soul Arrow], but it covers a wide area and the hit rate has 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 some people can’t hold it anymore!
Originally the soul arrows hit the Winged Knight, and only a 'crash' could be heard as the magic shattered.
But now, the people in the armor began to moan in pain uncontrollably.
The breathing hole of the exaggerated smiling face on the Winged Knight's helmet is also gushing blood! The bright red blood left hideous traces on the silver or gold armor.
But no one stopped.
Going down another level, now directly in front of the team is a wooden bridge, 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 dancing cloth suddenly appeared in the center of the bridge deck!
The fabric rotated around a ball, and finally stretched out, turning into a large, raw-edged robe.
And this robe is worn by a familiar figure.
The extremely wide wide-brimmed hat, the crystal ball in his hand, the skinny body covered by the robe
The crystallized old man!
But it is different from the twin brother who was polite on the road to living sacrifice, at least on the surface.
The crystallized old man working in the Big Library showed 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, which 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 profound.
Under [Spiritual Vision], he saw the essence and changes of this magic.
Crystals are qualities and appearances, but this magic has not yet penetrated into Osroais or the forbidden knowledge in the big library.
In other words: It is indeed powerful, but it has not yet touched the 'curse death' characteristic.
The witcher came to the conclusion in his mind - he could get through it, but he still needed strategy.
While commanding on the battlefield, Mentos has already provided the rough status information of the team members to the subject as a reference for tactical judgment.
While Lan En hugged Ge Cide, who was curling up more and more, and sprinted forward, he completed the tactical plan in an instant based on this information.
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 several places Lan En pointed out are the places where the most intensive magic attacks are issued.
Those sages stood at a slightly higher height and poured down a rain of soul arrows unscrupulously, hitting the wooden bridge deck like blue raindrops.
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-distance flight.
They flew up to the position of the sages, and a massacre followed!
Lan En deliberately 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 spin around to finish the job.
The resulting fire suppression gap is huge!
The four winged knights were quick and agile, and their victory suddenly reduced the pressure on the team running on the bridge.
