He stopped in front of the large gray flower bud and raised his jet-black staff.
Immediately afterwards, he raised his staff and pointed the tip directly at the flower bud.
Soon, an anomaly occurred.
A familiar crimson light burst forth from the tip of the staff.
But unlike before.
The crimson light did not appear in the form of an arrow, but rather shaped into a withered arm.
As Arthur saw the withered arm slowly reaching towards the gray flower bud, he immediately became alert and raised both hands.
On the back of his two hands, a crescent moon mark and a sun mark appeared respectively. The "power of the bright moon" and the "power of the sun" gathered within them could surge out of his body at any time for defense and offense.
this moment.
The eyes of both people present were focused on the withered arm constructed from crimson blood light.
After the withered arm touched the surface of the large gray flower bud, it paused abruptly for a moment, and then broke through the surface of the flower bud.
then.
The two people present were able to see the scene inside the flower bud—two young girls bound together by gray thorny vines.
"Why is Weiwei here too!?"
Arthur recognized one of them as Lani, whom he was looking for, but the appearance of another girl surprised him.
Immediately, his mind raced, and his thoughts began to churn.
He recalled what the black-armored knight, Daiba, had said during the battle on the main road outside Frostraven Town:
"No wonder our first attempt to seize a 'container' in this kingdom failed; it turns out you were the one hindering us."
He then recalled Lancelot and Vivi's ordeal, their hometown town destroyed by bandits.
Arthur connected these pieces of information and immediately arrived at a clear conclusion:
These guys are the bandits who destroyed Lancelot and Vivi's hometown.
Their target was not Miss Lani, as Mr. Lawson had mentioned, but Vivi, the girl with some kind of "cursed body" who had always been by Lancelot's side.
Thoughts turn.
Arthur held his breath and tried his best to remain calm.
He analyzed the current situation:
Franky, the apostle of the witch, seems to be wary of the premature resurgence of the so-called witch's existence.
So, he must want to extricate Miss Lani and Vivi from the abnormal state inside this huge flower bud.
So, I just need to wait until Miss Lani and Vivi are freed before I make my move.
However, this guy will definitely be wary of me, and who knows what other hidden tricks he might have up his sleeve.
With this in mind, Arthur simultaneously activated the Knight Lord System in his mind, transmitting his mental commands:
"I'm preparing to spend 100 Virtue Points to redeem 'Blessing of Valor'."
This was his last trump card, a trump card that the other side didn't know.
If you encounter a situation you can't handle, it's always a good idea to give yourself an invincibility buff first.
Back to the present, Arthur put an end to his scheming.
Only three seconds had passed.
The blood-red, withered arm driven by the witch apostle Franky had already destroyed most of the enormous flower bud in front of them.
The two girls who were trapped inside were finally revealed to them in their entirety.
And just as this enormous flower bud was completely obliterated.
As Arthur had anticipated, the witch apostle Franky immediately launched her next move.
His next move was to attack Arthur.
He first used his other hand to tear off the blood-stained robe from his body, and then flung it at Arthur with lightning speed.
As the blood-stained robe flew toward Arthur, it rapidly transformed, taking the form of the ferocious giant bird they had seen before.
But it's different from the last time.
This ferocious giant bird absorbed all the gray mist emanating from the huge flower bud that had been destroyed a moment earlier, causing its size to double.
Its aura was comparable to that of a powerful third-tier magical beast.
Seeing this, Arthur, who was prepared, did not panic.
First Combat Skill: Blood Boiling!
He first activated the "Flame Lion Breathing Technique," using the wave of flame to stimulate his body's potential.
Immediately afterwards, he swiftly fired the blazing white arrow that had been charged up on the back of his right hand.
And as it became clear that this fierce battle was unavoidable and had already broken out.
But another unexpected event occurred.
Before Arthur's blazing white arrow could even touch the ferocious giant bird, whose aura had reached the third tier of magical beasts, it instantly weakened.
In an instant, all the gray mist inside its body leaked out.
then.
It then transformed from its ferocious giant bird form back into its blood-robed appearance and drifted to the ground.
And the next moment.
The scene that appeared in Arthur's field of vision answered his question about the sudden disappearance of the ferocious giant bird.
—The witch apostle Franky's heart was pierced by a thick, scarlet arrow of blood!
"Those who betray me will be pierced by the arrow of withering!"
The next moment, a familiar, clear female voice reached his ears.
Chapter 112 The Blood Rose Will Bloom Again
Arthur looked in the direction of the sound, and the owner of the voice was just as he had imagined:
It's Miss Lani!
She slowly rose from the remains of the enormous flower bud, keeping one hand raised.
On her raised palm, there were still traces of scarlet blood.
Undoubtedly, the thick, scarlet arrow that pierced through the witch apostle Franky was her doing.
At this moment, the thorny vines that bound her and Weiwei also fell off, dissipating into a primordial gray mist in mid-air.
A gray mist surrounded Lani and Vivi.
But then he looked at Weiwei.
She appeared to still be unconscious, lying on the ground, not yet awake.
Witnessing this scene, Arthur wanted to call out Lani's name, but hesitated to speak.
Because of Lani's strange tone just now, he had a strong sense of unease.
He guessed:
The one currently controlling Miss Lani's body is probably the witch that the witch apostle Franky and Mr. Lawson were talking about.
Think about this.
Arthur did not act rashly, but held his breath and looked for an opportunity to break the deadlock.
He looked at the witch apostle Franky.
"Ahem! Witch, you've really fooled me!"
After being pierced by a thick, scarlet arrow of light, he did not die immediately. He staggered back a few steps before regaining his balance.
then.
He pulled the crimson arrow from his heart, stared intently at the girl in the blue dress who had stood up, and continued speaking:
"You probably already woke up when our group arrived in Blackrock Territory."
Cough!
After all, they've already crafted the first witch's accessory.
After saying that, he raised his hand and pointed to the exquisite silver necklace that Lani was wearing on her fair neck.
But the awakened "Lani" shook her head:
"Your guess is wrong. This ornament that I possess was not crafted by me."
Rather, it was obtained from the "vessel" that this human knight gave me.
After she finished speaking, "Lani" also raised her hand, but pointed at Arthur, who was watching from the sidelines.
"Ok?"
Arthur didn't understand their conversation at first, but he wasn't stupid and immediately realized that they were talking about the silver necklace that Lani was wearing around her neck.
This silver necklace was an amulet that Arthur traded with the alchemist Merlin for a piece of wind elemental essence.
According to Merlin, he did not know the origin of the silver necklace, but he believed he had thoroughly studied its purpose.
It can mitigate some of the damage suffered by the wearer, transferring it to its owner.
Arthur was the owner of this silver necklace.
After obtaining it, he used a spell bestowed upon him by the alchemist Merlin to establish a binding contract.
At that time, under the witness of the alchemist Merlin.
He tested the silver necklace very carefully, and only felt relieved after confirming that it did not carry any unknown curses or strange effects.
Arthur recalled that when he gave the silver necklace to Miss Lani, he had personally put it on her.
Recalling this memory, he still couldn't find any clues.
Thoughts turn.
But the current situation is inextricably linked to the "protective charm" he gave away.
Think about this.
Arthur frowned, looking at the girl's familiar, delicate face, which now revealed a cold expression he had never seen before.
Let's take a look back at the witch apostle, Franky.
After receiving Lani's reply, he glanced at Arthur in disbelief:
"Could this knight be an apostle recruited by the witch?"
"Traitor, I have no interest in answering your questions anymore."
Frankie's barrage of questions irritated Lani.
She moved the hand that was pointing at Arthur toward the witch apostle Franky.
Seeing only the next moment.
The gray mist surrounding her began to surge like a tide, quickly shaping into several thick and slender thorny vines.
immediately.
"Lani" then drove these gray thorny vines to launch a entanglement attack on the thin young man in front of her.
Upon seeing this, the witch apostle Franky was filled with the urge to rebel.
He raised the jet-black staff in front of him and began chanting an obscure and difficult-to-understand incantation.
In an instant.
The gray mist surrounding him was also manipulated and pulled, constantly churning and converging into two enormous floating arms.
then.
