One man’s Chaldea
Page 36
A flash of rainbow sword light passed by.
Leif’s voice stopped abruptly, and the smile on his face froze instantly.
‘Why? ’
A trace of doubt flashed through his mind, but before he could figure out what was happening, Leif’s consciousness fell into darkness.
He didn’t even have the chance to say his last words before being cut in half by Attila’s sword.
It turned into two pieces of meat that were no different from rotten meat and fell between the two sides.
I don’t even know why you are so arrogant!
Although Nero wanted to taunt him harshly, now was obviously not the right time.
The enemy in front of them was obviously more dangerous than this guy who had turned into a useless piece of meat. They didn’t have the luxury to mock others now.
Under the helpless gaze of the two.
The golden Holy Grail separated from Leif’s body and fell into Attila’s hands.
In the blink of an eye, it merged into Attila’s body.
Faced with the hostility of Nero and Lin Qi, Attila had no intention of chatting.
He just pointed the rainbow-colored lightsaber in his hand forward.
Although she had no intention of obeying Leif’s orders, destroying civilization was her job, and all enemies who stood in her way had no choice but to be destroyed.
and so–
“【Photon Ray】!”
Without any foreplay, Attila activated his treasure right away.
With the blessing of the Holy Grail, this treasure has reached the level of a city-killing treasure!
The radiance of the rainbow is right before my eyes, and the magic contained in it can be clearly felt without my eyes.
In this situation where they can’t even hide, what else can Lin Qi and Nero do?
He could only hide behind the holy flag again.
Their vision was occupied by the colors of the rainbow, and the sound disappeared from their ears.
In just less than half an hour, the two of them had no idea how many treasures they had received.
Their frail bodies were no longer able to withstand the attack, and the two were blown backwards by the torrent of rainbow magic power. The golden-red light that enveloped them was no longer as dazzling as it was at the beginning.
It had just been washed away, but it was already covered with cracks.
Knowing what the consequences would be if he insisted, Lin Qi gritted his teeth and stuffed the flag into Nero’s hand.
At the critical moment, push it away with all your strength.
He activated [Escapist] and made his body become virtual.
This is the best solution Lin Qi can think of.
As for what happens after that…it all depends on luck.
Everything happened very quickly, just a second or so after Attila’s Noble Phantasm activated and hit them.
Rather than saying that this was Lin Qi’s careful consideration, it would be better to say that this was just his subconscious reaction.
The flag carried out the will of its owner, and the light it emitted protected Nero, who had not yet figured out the situation, and helped him escape from the rainbow-colored torrent of the Sword of the God of War.
However, the [Sword of the God of War] is a light cannon-type anti-city weapon, which is not only powerful but also has a huge range.
How can I escape just like this?
The flag’s defense was about to be completely broken before escaping, when a heroic voice suddenly sounded from a distance.
“【Chariot of Boudica】!”
A shield wrapped in golden light crossed the sky and rushed into the rainbow light torrent at a tricky angle.
Just blocking Nero!
The torrent of rainbow light was briefly separated, allowing Nero to safely escape the attack range of the Sword of God of War.
“Oh!”
“Oh!”
Due to the inertia caused by the impact, Nero first hit the roof, and then fell to the ground due to the obstruction of the wall.
Nero certainly felt uncomfortable after being hit twice like this, but there were more important things that deserved her attention now.
Nero hurriedly got up and shouted loudly to the people around him:
“Player!”
Nero’s voice continued to echo in the empty, ruined streets.
No one responded.
Only the flag in my hand is still fluttering in the wind.
“Can’t it be… Impossible, Impossible, the player won’t die so easily!”
Thinking about the possible consequences, Nero selectively ignored the most serious possibility and muttered to himself.
“He promised to stay by my side forever—”
Having said that, Nero was about to search every possible place for trace of Lin Qi.
“Nero! What are you going to do?”
A voice came from above Nero’s right.
Nero even subconsciously ignored the difference in the sound and looked upwards in surprise.
Red hair, two huge human hearts, holding a long sword.
It’s an acquaintance, but not Lin Qi.
Nero recognized the visitor at a glance.
“… Boudica?”
The visitor was none other than Boudica, one of Nero’s historical opponents. It was she who had just used her treasure to help Nero block the attack of the Sword of the God of War.
“Why are you here?”
Boudica jumped down from the roof, picked up her own shield that had fallen to the ground, and then answered:
“Don’t get me wrong, I just heard that a little master came here, so I came to help him.”
Seeing Nero, who was very concerned about his image, standing in front of her with disheveled hair and covered in dust, Boudica hesitated for a moment, probably knowing how fierce the battle just now was.
“I didn’t expect you to be beaten so badly… By the way, where’s the little master? Didn’t he come here with you?”
As she spoke, Boudica looked around in confusion.
As far as she knew, Lin Qi should have been following Nero all the time.
“…Just now, it was the player who pushed me away in a critical situation and stuffed his treasure into my hand. With your treasure, I can stand here safely, but I don’t know where the player himself is…”
Nero was silent for two seconds, and his hand holding the flag tightened involuntarily.
“Huh? He gave you his treasure? Doesn’t that mean he’s completely exposed to that horrific attack just now?”
Boudica’s voice suddenly rose several degrees in shock.
Is there any way to survive if you take the enemy’s treasure?
“No, the player should still be able to survive. He has the ability to ignore any attack. Even the attack just now, he should still be able to survive…”
Nero also calmed down because of Boudica’s arrival.
But the question is, where was Lin Qi rushed to?
Nero, who was eager to find Lin Qi immediately, went to any possible place to look for Lin Qi without saying a word.
“Hey! You don’t want to go find the little master, do you?”
Boudica hurriedly grabbed Nero with a serious expression.
“Think clearly about what is the most important thing right now! I didn’t even see the little master in the distance just now. You are looking for him like looking for a needle in a haystack. How long will it take you to find him?”
“And over there——”
Boudica pointed in the direction where she had just seen Attila leave.
“That girl is already heading towards the capital of Rome. With her destructive power, it won’t take long for her to wipe the capital of Rome off the map. Now tell me, what are you really going to do?!”
Nero was a little dazed listening to Boudica’s words.
“…If the capital of Rome is completely destroyed, the Roman Empire will probably disappear in this generation…”
There is no need to save that person because it ends prematurely.
“I understand – stop Attila and never let her get close to the Roman capital!”
Nero took a deep breath and gripped the two weapons in his hands tightly.
“It’s just that… you can see my current condition, so Boudica, can you go with me to stop Attila?”
Nero looked at Boudica with a hint of pleading in his eyes.
Boudica, who didn’t expect Nero to be so submissive, turned her head away stiffly, not looking into Nero’s eyes.
“Otherwise, what do you think I’m doing here?”
Actually, I would help you even if you didn’t say that!
……
To be honest, I can no longer see my protagonist clearly (covering my face)…
I don’t know what kind of person the protagonist I wrote is in your eyes, and I also want to know if the protagonist really looks confused?
The protagonist should not be confused, right? He is just very nervous about the future and doesn’t know how far he can go on his own.
The reason why I was hiding and crying before was largely because I had been recuperating alone for a long time and I was lost.
After meeting Joan of Arc, the protagonist’s goal has always been clear, especially because he knows the plot. The protagonist pushes the plot forward at an incredibly fast speed, so there is no time for confusion.
At most, he would put pressure on himself when he was about to get into a fierce fight, but as long as his teammates were with him, he would go for it anyway.
It’s just like a normal person being called to the teacher’s office to be scolded. If you are alone, you will definitely feel stressed, but if there is someone with you, you may even laugh. (I had to prepare myself mentally for a while every time I went to the teacher’s office in high school…)
I saw some people say that I might become a literary youth later on – with my writing skills, don’t I have the qualifications to be a literary youth?
I don’t know whether this is a compliment or a point…
Well, let’s finish the previous singularities quickly. After the fourth singularity, I can start to cheat like crazy for the protagonist. It is easier for me to write the invincible style. After all, I like to see the protagonist showing off.
Chapter 3000 “The Tree That Reaches the Sky” ()
Lin Qi has both good and bad luck.
Fortunately, he was blown away by Attila’s [Sword of the God of War] and did not get stuck in a wall or the ground after the short effect time of [Escaper].
Instead, after being carried backwards by inertia, he quickly broke away from the torrent of light of the [Sword of the God of War].
Then, it probably passed through a section of land or a wall, and crashed into a relatively safe space just at the moment when [Escaper] was released.
But the bad thing is that Lin Qi was buried in the ruins that was probably caused by Romulus’s treasure.
The rune used for lighting emitted a faint light in the dark space, illuminating Lin Qi’s dusty face.
Dust kept falling down, landing on Lin Qi’s hair and body.
“I need to go back… Nero still needs me…”
But Lin Qi pretended not to see it. He gasped, stared at the stone slab above, and kept trying to move it away with his hands.
The experience in the previous singularity, and the sacrifice of Jing Ke and Spartacus this time, everything seemed to be right in front of him – Lin Qi didn’t want to lose any more companions, even if they were just servants.
The flesh on the fingers cracked, and the blood that seeped out left bright red fingerprints on the stone slab as Lin Qi moved.
But it failed to move the stone slab even a little bit.
Lin Qi’s hands and feet were already weak. The stones that he could move easily under normal circumstances seemed as heavy as a mountain to him.
