Chapter 339: Current Situation
Celica’s Glory faded away, and she cleared more than sixty percent of the Death Knights with a single sword strike.
Unfortunately, she is still just a person.
The Paladin looked at Celica with a complex expression. The people behind him were already readying the formation, and he raised his weapon.
Moreover, another person appeared behind Celica.
He was an ordinary eighth-tier knight, sent by Duke Benson to provide support.
He had no knight squad behind him; after all, it’s not easy to train Professionally. Karoso and others often found themselves in places filled with Professionals, like professional academies, grand events in the royal capital, the City of Freedom defense team, noble gambling ships, and knight tournaments.
Normally, nobles do not raise a large number of Professionals, nor would they allow Professionals to come here to assist Celica as weaker allies.
Professionals below the seventh tier are not enough for Celica to defeat with one sword.
Only the Church of Dawn Goddess can support a large number of Professionals.
Karoso said that it is very easy for Professionals of the Church of Dawn Goddess to grow, but it is difficult to break through to the eighth tier; their core strength is definitely the strongest in the world.
"Archbishop Celica, take care," the Paladin pointed his sword straight at Celica.
The knight blocking the other door remained silent.
No one wants to be enemies with someone like Celica, and he never thought his sword would turn against her.
Alita gently hugged 『』’s arm, two soft cushions of flesh embracing it.
『』 patted Alita’s hand and gave a wry smile.
She never expected to die here, in the event of… helping to dig a hole.
Peter and Sherry stood behind Celica, seeming to want to make one last stand.
"Two masters, what a pity…" The knight pointed his longsword at a few people.
All the magical power from Celica’s group was directed at her, whether it was from the knight Pastor or Card Maker; all the magic was used to heal Celica.
Right now, they could be said to have only their physical fighting strength.
Relying on the Death Knight here to exhaust Celica wildly, and finally attacking her with two eighth-tier fighters, this was a trap set for Celica.
Boom!
Just then, a loud rumbling sound erupted.
The Paladin was taken aback and shouted, "Attack!"
Swish!
He and the knight both charged forward at the same time, but suddenly two bronze walls rose up from the ground, quickly blocking their attack.
"Damn…"
Normally, even this bronze wall wouldn’t stop them; their speed was enough to break through and defeat Celica. But suddenly, they felt an intense pressure; it was a magic circle!
Crack!
The ground beneath Celica and the others suddenly disappeared, and they involuntarily began to fall downward.
After falling two levels, Celica and the others landed on the ground.
Boom!
With a loud sound, the ceiling above closed together.
Celica swiftly swung her sword and looked around.
"Is that you?" Alita exclaimed with joy.
"Karoso?" 『』’s pupils shrank.
Kirmin was busy doing something at a control panel, while Karoso and Aileen sat back to back nearby.
Aileen’s shield had disappeared, her sword was broken in half, and her armor was badly damaged, covered in wounds.
Karoso’s Shining Courage was gone; all his cards were used up, and his magic was completely drained. His injuries looked almost as bad as Aileen’s.
Looking at Saaya, he was also sitting against the wall, looking completely exhausted.
Among them, only Kirmin looked normal.
Two were seriously injured, one had minor injuries, and one was just a little dirty—this was the current state of the group.
In the original story, Aileen didn’t come in alone; she was followed by a team of bodyguards sent by the emperor. That seventh-tier player, even though they started on the second level, had an advantage, and the game’s design still followed a pattern. As long as they fought some battles and solved some puzzles, they could safely meet the leader of the seventh tier.
After passing the test, although they were in a tough situation, their lives were not in danger.
And now? Once the Magical Circle of Deicide is activated, not only those seven people, even the eighth-tier cannot gather here.
With the close teamwork of Karoso, Aileen, and Saaya, they finally made it here, relying on Kirmin’s control over the Goblin ruins to stop the large group of Death Knights outside.
Then, according to the mechanisms here, they will bring Celica and the others to this place.
Even though they fell straight down, they went through two space-type magic circles along the way.
It can only be said that this is the price of changing the story or forcing participation in it.
The most important thing is that the two events right now are just appearances; according to the Dream Card, Karoso still has one more thing to do.
"As long as you are okay…" Karoso sighed in relief.
That was truly thrilling; if they had made one wrong move, Celica and the others could have been finished here.
Earlier, when Karoso and the others were chatting, they were not wasting time. The rules of the magic circle here are like that, and he was already controlling the time at the limit.
Without Karoso or Saaya, this calculation could not be completed.
Even so, they almost failed, and it was Kirmin who helped them succeed.
Of course, Karoso is not someone who risks 『』’s life and Alita’s life recklessly at the limit of time; he still has a backup plan.
"What on earth happened? What is going on with you all? What is happening here?" Celica’s mind was a bit confused.
"Karoso, I told you not to get involved in the church’s messy business. Do you know that I almost got killed just now?" Alita was frantic.
"What happened?" 『』 rushed to Karoso and raised his right arm.
To see, Karoso’s right arm was frostbitten and looked to be eroded by cold poison and death energy.
"I cut down too many Death Knights," Karoso said helplessly. "I am still a bit weak."
"You are not weak at all," 『』 said firmly.
"Great, now we both have no magic left and the card is almost used up," Alita sat down on the ground. "Let’s think of a way."
"Behave yourself. Like a teacher," 『』 shot a glance at Alita.
"Your Highness, how are you?" Peter also came to Aileen’s side.
"I’m fine." Aileen looked dazed; after this battle, she was all mixed up.
The enemies are not strong, but there are too many.
"Second Brother, explain the situation now; Kirmin is busy, and I’m out of energy," Karoso looked at Saaya.
Everyone’s gaze turned to Saaya.
Saaya’s mouth twitched; damn it, just a moment ago you all were watching them and didn’t have time for me, now you come to ask me.
Saaya was not as close to Karoso; he had deep friendships with several people and had been involved in important matters. Seeing the big figures looking at him, he had no choice but to speak honestly, "After we arrived here, Kirmin discovered that this is Goblin ruins. Karoso was lucky; he accidentally found the command room and saw the entire situation of the ruins…"
