I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 473 The Horrifying Original Transformation

"Lord Alpha, Captain Quinte sent a message saying that they have encountered a difficult situation in the city and urgently need support." Mashu stepped into the tent with hurried steps, her fingertips still stained with dust, and her deep blue eyes reflected a bit of anxiety.

The gilded holy sword in Alpha's hand was being rubbed until it emitted a cold glow, and his knuckles made a light sound when they tapped on the hilt.

When Alpha raised his eyes, he recalled the silver ornament on his ear that flickered with light and shadow as he moved - Quintile's face, which always had an unruly smile on it, appeared in his mind at this moment. The man who could fight his way out of the encirclement of thirty people would never have sent out a distress signal if he was not in a desperate situation.

"Mashu, let Melissa and Maven come with us to support Quintile. We will set off immediately." Alpha's voice was as cold as metal, and his cloak made a rustling sound when he turned around.

Outside the tent, dusk gradually deepened. Evelyn was hanging the quiver on her waist with her longbow in her hand. Mingyue's cuffs were still stained with grass debris from sword practice in the afternoon. The two looked at each other and were about to follow.

Alpha suddenly stopped, his boot heels making a crisp sound as they rolled over gravel. When he turned back, his brows slightly frowned, but there was a rare gentleness in his eyes: "The riots in the city have not subsided yet, and the broken blades and hidden arrows are blind. You stay at the stronghold and keep an eye on the wounded - you are more needed here than charging."

Mashu tightened her grip on the hilt of the sword, and suddenly remembered that three days ago, Quinte was holding a wine bag with the words "Wait for me to come back and drink" engraved crookedly on the leather.

It was already around three o'clock and the fighting in the city had lasted for three hours.

A port outside the city has been occupied, and the mutant warrior corps in the suburbs has encountered some difficulties, but there will be no problems in the short term.

The emblem on Alpha's waist flickered in the shadows, and he couldn't stop at this moment.

"Lead the way." Alpha suddenly spoke, his fingertips stroking the battle-damaged dents on the scabbard, "Tell the brothers to prepare the horses and bring enough torches - don't let Quinte really think that he will be buried in the mouth of wild dogs."

……

Alpha grabbed the reins and pulled hard, and the warhorse under him neighed and stopped in front of General Philos's mansion.

Amid the crisp sound of the armor of twenty personal soldiers colliding, he saw the battlefield in the center of the courtyard.

Five steel behemoths as tall as two stories were swinging their jagged arms to crush, and the steam from their pipes condensed into white mist in the twilight, trapping Quintiles' violent knights in a fight of their own.

Alpha felt that this was no longer the world in his consciousness, but future technology.

However, Alpha didn't know that this was a biologically modified human from the Pirate Alliance. Ordinary humans could not be modified into such a form, but the Pirate Alliance took a different approach. They modified biological mutants, thus transforming these half-human, half-monster, half-mechanical monsters on a higher basis.

The battle formation of four wild boar warriors had been broken up, and in the two-on-one fight, blood was flying all over their sturdy bodies wrapped in animal skins.

The wild boar warrior on the far left was nailed to the pillar by the giant beast, and his tusk helmet rolled to the ground, revealing half of his bloody face.

As soon as Melissa's healing light ball landed on his wound, it was burned by sparks from the metal shell and made a sizzling sound.

The elven priest bit his lip to maintain the spell, and the faint light at his fingertips was three points dimmer than usual.

"Hold on! Protect the wounded first!" Alpha pressed the empty scabbard at his waist.

Where the Hundred Battles Blade should have been, there was only the ancient tassel of Arthur's Holy Sword.

This divine weapon that once split the demonic tide was now covered in gray mist. The dark lines wrapped around the hilt were slowly wriggling, but it still gave off a vibrating warmth when he held it.

Quintile's roar cut through the sound of metal clanging.

The silver-haired Berserker Knight's battle axe was embedded in the joint of the third behemoth, but his wrist was locked by a hydraulic clamp. Amid the crisp sound of cracking chain mail shoulder armor, the blood splashed when he knelt on one knee and evaporated into light smoke on the blade of the holy sword.

The shield wall formed by the remaining warriors was being pushed back step by step by the other two behemoths, and the edges of the round shields had curled into jagged shapes.

"Mevin! Pay attention to support everyone at seven o'clock!" Alpha suddenly raised his sword, and where the holy sword swept past, the blade that was corroded by the dark power actually burst out with a few points of silver light.

The sound of bowstrings hummed from the treetops. The armor-piercing arrow shot by the Elf Ranger Maven brushed past his hair and accurately pierced the chest of the nearest giant beast. At the moment when the blue light flashed, the mechanical joints made a harsh sound of gears rubbing against each other.

"Mashu, follow me to cut the back row!" Alpha shook his head towards the heavily armored warrior beside him. The moment his boot heel crushed the blue bricks, his figure leaped into the air with the weight of the holy sword.

In the shadow of the giant beast's raised arm, he saw Mash's dagger slash the opponent's knee, and black blood spurted out like hydraulic oil.

Mashu's sword was slashing along the seam between the armor and towards the glowing energy core - the dark lines were surging wildly the moment they came into contact with the energy. It was unknown whether the monster could block the magic-destroying power engraved on the holy sword.

Amid the screeching sound of metal gears rubbing against each other, a dark blue arc burst out from the energy core in the chest of the original No. 1.

A roar like surging lava rolled through the monster's throat, and the giant fist driven by the bio-modified human's blood like hydraulic oil brought a sonic boom through the air and smashed down at Mashu who was swinging the hammer against its knee armor.

The nimble shadow elf turned sideways 0.1 second before the fist wind reached his body. The sparks from the chain hammer plowed deep marks on the bluestone bricks. The figure had rolled into the shadow due to inertia. Only the crisp sound of shoulder armor rubbing against the fist tip proved the danger.

The original No. 1, who had lost his balance, fell to the ground with a bang. The blood from the burst blood vessels splattered like black oil and ink rain, and a fishy and hot mist rose when it hit the ground.

The wild boar warrior on the far right was hit by another impact force at this moment. The bronze waist guard under the animal skin robe was shattered into pieces, and the whole person crashed into the stone wall like an arrow with a broken string. The spine reflected a bluish-white light in the moonlight, and the blood bubbles from the throat mixed with broken teeth splashed on the carved column base.

"Boom--" The holy sword at Alpha's fingertips suddenly burst out with silver light, and the dark lines that were originally wandering on the blade were compressed back into the wolf-head sword guard of the hilt like snow meeting the scorching sun.

Alpha watched Melissa staggering towards the dying boar warrior, the healing light flickering on the blood. He suddenly raised his sword and roared, "Shield wall retracted! Mashu protect the elf wizard! Maven clears the shooting range for Quinte!"

Outside the mansion came the sound of war horses' hooves crushing the night dew. The Modao formation of twenty personal soldiers flooded over the threshold like a black tide, and the wolf patterns on the sword guards glowed red under the torches.

Alpha was breathing heavily while stepping on the hot chest armor of the original No. 1, with the spine of the holy sword touching the calluses on his palms.

"Next." Alpha licked the rust from the corner of his lips. The sparks raised by the sword blade fell into the dark night and splashed into tiny golden rays in the dark blue of the energy core.

The warhorse under his crotch neighed as it crushed the remnants of armor. He leaped into the air using the momentum of the charge, and the holy sword drew an arc of silver and black above his head.

On the dusty sword, dark lines and demon-destroying power were in fierce conflict.

"Break it!" The moment the heavy sword split the metal shell, oil, blood and sparks splashed onto the face guard. Alpha saw his own reflection on the sword blade in the blue light of the core shattering.

The remains of the original No. 1's arm exploded into pieces under the sword. Alpha knelt on one knee and held up the holy sword, listening to the roar of the battle between the Mo Dao formation behind him and the second giant beast.

Suddenly, he discovered that the black mist on his palm had dissipated a little, revealing a faint, uncorroded gilt emblem on the sword hilt - that was the emblem of the "Knight of Dawn", and in this night shrouded in steel and darkness, it was glowing again with the beat of his heart.

The oil and blood were still sizzling on the ground, and the fallen Original No. 1 suddenly let out a roar like twisted metal.

In the broken chest, the dark blue energy core was rapidly reorganizing in the strange red light.

Sparks flew from the broken joints of the robotic arm, and what was surging in the wound was no longer black oil, but a fluorescent dark red fluid.

It was alienated blood mixed with dark power and cyborg genes, drawing thread-like traces of light in the night sky.

The earth suddenly shook like thunder.

Alpha saw the stone bricks cracking like a spider web under the feet of Original No. 1, and the red light seeping out of the cracks climbed like a living thing.

Wherever he passed, the carvings on the pillars were instantly turned into dust, and Melissa's healing light ball was even shattered into stars under this pressure.

The most terrifying thing is that breath - no longer mechanical and cold, but a dark fluctuation mixed with mania and desire for destruction, like an invisible giant hand grasping everyone's heart.

"Everyone retreat! Retreat to the main road outside the palace!" Alpha's roar was torn apart by the second wave of shock.

When the original No. 1 stood up, six energy tentacles covered with barbs grew out of his back.

Each one was as long as a Mo Dao, and the eyeball-like organ at the end rotated, sweeping red light over everything around it - including its former "companions".

The energy cores of the four steel behemoths suddenly sounded like alarms.

When the original No. 1 turned his head, his tentacles had already swung out like a poisonous snake, instantly piercing through the head of the nearest giant beast.

Amid the flash of blue light, the red light corroded holes in the metal shell, revealing half of the mechanical skeleton inside, which was twisted and deformed.

Transformed into a sticky mixture of flesh and metal - this resurrected monster is converting its own kind into its "sacrifices".

"It's absorbing energy!" Maven's arrow was smashed into pieces by the tentacles in mid-air.

Alpha saw Quintile's Berserker Knights being blown away by the air wave, and some people's shields were twisted like butter melted by high temperature as soon as they touched the red light.

The most deadly thing was the red light in the eyes of the original No. 1 - it was no longer a program-driven mechanical pupil, but a blood-red vertical pupil full of wild hunting desire.

At this moment, it was locking onto the three giant beasts closest to it. As its tentacles waved, the sounds of metal and flesh exploding came one after another.

The retreat of the human knights turned into a race between life and death at this moment.

Alpha grabbed Mashu who was knocked over by the air wave, and the silver light from the holy sword barely opened a passage in the red light.

But he saw fine black lines appearing on the back of his hand in the red light - that was a sign of erosion by the power of darkness.

He heard screams from his soldiers behind him. When he turned around, he saw a man with a strange sword being hit by the tentacles.

The skin under the armor was carbonizing at a speed visible to the naked eye, but before he died, he inserted his Mo Dao into the joints of the giant beast, using his last bit of strength to buy time for his companions.

The roar of the original No. 1 shook off the stars in the sky.

It walked forward on the remains of its own kind, leaving scarlet footprints on the ground with every step, and new tentacles were growing from the broken pieces of the remains of the devoured beasts, spreading towards humans like vines.

Alpha suddenly remembered the records in the Science City archives - when the core of the cyborg is completely eroded by the dark power, it will enter the "source-devouring state", and then all energy that is not its own will be its prey, including the same kind that created them.

"Run to the river! Use the terrain!" Alpha kicked away the broken armor that blocked his way, and the black mist on the holy sword surged again, but it was much lighter than before.

When the giant beast was killed just now, the silver light actually tore a thin crack in the dark lines, and now it flickered slightly with the heartbeat.

The original No. 1 behind him suddenly let out a shrill scream, not directed at the humans, but at the last steel behemoth that was trying to escape.

The tentacles wrapped around the other party like a tide, and the moment the red light engulfed it, the entire courtyard was lit up by a dazzling light, and even the river water in the distance turned blood red.

At the moment when the red light tore through the night, two alienated armors wrapped in flesh, blood and metal stood up from the core of the explosion.

The energy cores in their chests have been completely dyed bloody, and hydraulic oil is no longer seeping out of their mechanical joints.

Instead, it was a pus-like fluid mixed with broken bones, and the high-temperature blood mist that was sprayed out when he roared turned the nearby wood into ashes in an instant.

"Scatter! Evacuate the city immediately!" Alpha's holy sword drew arcs of silver and black, which were particularly dazzling in the blood-red halo.

He saw Melissa stumbling towards him, half of the elven priest's robe was stained with blood, and her hair was stained with the boar warrior's hair.

The four wild boar warriors who should have been lying under her healing light ball now rushed towards the pile of monster wreckage like crazy, gnawing at the mixture of metal fragments and flesh and blood with their fangs, and making inhuman howls from their throats.

"Sir! They, they are eating..." Melissa's scream was crushed by the footsteps of the armored monster.

Alpha caught a glimpse of the four boar warriors' skins, which were glowing with a strange metallic luster. There were gear-like patterns wriggling beneath their hides - the power of darkness was eroding their bodies through the remains of the monsters.

But at this moment Alpha had no time to be distracted, as the armored monster on the far left was already swinging its giant molten fist towards him. The gusts of air created by the fist made the silver light on the blade of the holy sword flicker.

"Get out of here quickly, everyone!" Alpha roared and jumped up, and Arthur's Holy Sword above his head burst out with a silver light even brighter than before.

The dark lines were completely suppressed at this moment, and the gilded emblem on the sword guard was clearly visible.

The moment the fist and sword collided, the energy shock wave exploded like a nuclear bomb, and the ground within a hundred meters radius cracked layer by layer.

Bricks and wood chips were crushed into powder under the high pressure, and even the river water in the distance was shaken and flowed backwards.

At the moment when the smoke and dust covered the sky, Alpha heard the crisp sound of his hand bones breaking.

The holy sword eventually blocked 90% of the force for him, but the remaining impact still threw him hundreds of meters away, his armor and shoulder guard shattered into several pieces, and his back hit the half-collapsed stone tower heavily.

Alpha looked at the half-meter-deep drag mark on the ground, his fingertips still numb from the vibration of the hilt.

The armored monster on the opposite side only retreated five steps, but the blood core in its chest was dazzlingly bright. It was obvious that this attack not only failed to seriously injure the opponent, but instead angered the dark power in its body.

"Ahem... I see..." Alpha wiped the blood foam from the corner of his mouth and saw Melissa retreating into the depths of the woods with her personal soldiers. When Quinte's Berserker Knights were leaving behind, someone was hit by the monster's tentacles and instantly turned into a ball of blood mist.

The four wild boar warriors had been completely alienated and were using their fangs covered in metal debris to bite their fellow monsters, making a "clicking" sound similar to that of gears meshing.

The dark forces are constructing a new killing chain, using devouring as bait and transforming all life into their own weapons.

The second wave of attacks from the armored monsters followed.

Alpha struggled to stand up. The silver light on the holy sword was brighter than ever, but also shorter than ever.

Alpha could feel the power of light in his body playing tug-of-war with the dark lines. Every time he swung the sword, it was as if he was using his own life force to charge the holy sword.

When the monster's giant fist came again, Alpha did not take it head-on. Instead, he used the power of the sword to spin around and cut in, with the tip of the sword accurately piercing the blood core.

There was an almost invisible hint of blue, which was the energy light that remained from the original No. 1 core and had not been completely corroded.

"Disconnect... for me!"
