NOVEL WEB Chapter 23
"...Snake Knight?"
It had never heard of this name, nor had it seen him.
Are they compatriots? No...obviously not. Although it could find a sense of "sameness" from the Snake Knight, it was still a little different.
It was like a completely pure substance...with some impurities added.
"But...one thing that is certain is."
"Snake Knight seems to have something to do with Mamba."
This is a bit strange. Although Mamba has made monsters of his own, he has never made a snake knight like the one in front of him.
It seems that there are variables in its plan...again.
"...Hello, Snake Knight, my name is Night Demon."
"Please tell me why you are here."
After thinking for a while, Night Demon chose to get straight to the point and asked about the purpose of the Snake Knight.
However, he never expected it.
Snake Knight answered Him in this way-
"!!"
"Huh!————!"
He responded to Him by piercing His ear with a weapon similar to a rapier.
"I missed..."
Watching the rapier that just stretched out from the hilt and pierced into the air, Snake Knight couldn't help but sigh with regret.
Then, after Night Demon landed, he raised the rapier again, ready to launch the next round of attack.
"I don't understand... Snake Knight, why are you attacking me?"
While avoiding the extremely fast and high-frequency attacks of Snake Knight, Night Demon asked.
However, before He could wait for Snake Knight to answer His question, He lost consciousness at a certain moment and had his right wing chopped off.
"..."
Seeing that the negotiation with Snake Knight was useless, Night Demon was silent for a while, and did not choose to avoid it again, but faced its attack head-on.
But... His behavior was a mistake among mistakes.
"Huh!"
Because, at the moment when the Night Demon approached him, the Snake Knight instantly took a stance, put the rapier in front of him, and then, the entire front end of the sword-exploded.
The explosion refers to the sword, which split into dozens of swords from the front end like a flower, biting the attacking Night Demon like a giant python, and tearing the whole body into pieces.
"Boom!"
"...What on earth is that thing?"
Bai Yu seemed to see it vaguely.
A huge...snake appeared behind the Snake Knight.
Although it was just a phantom that was captured by chance, Bai Yu could be sure of it with just a glance.
That thing is definitely a terrifyingly strong existence!
And...now, there are facts to prove this.
"Crack..."
The Night Demon flying in the sky, who was just "watching the show", has been torn into pieces at this moment.
It was so sudden, so...outrageous.
It was so sudden that Bai Yu couldn't fully recover.
"...How is it possible?"
Even if these cadres usually use puppets made by themselves instead of their real bodies, they should not be defeated so easily!
But...the Snake Knight who suddenly appeared, just stood still and waved the strange sword-
and was able to easily defeat the Night Demon.
The whole person was relaxed, as if he was just doing something he had to do every day!
She had never seen such a situation before!
And...why, she could clearly see that this Snake Knight should be the same as the Night Demon, a "kind of person".
But he had to...kill his compatriots?
"Next time...Night Demon, next time."
After "killing" the "Night Demon" in front of him, the Snake Knight said slowly:
"You should let your real body come to see me..."
"A conversation without sincerity will only make me feel irritated..."
As he said that, he turned slightly and aimed his eyes at the Spider Monster who had been ignored before.
Then...
"Shua--!!"
He thrust out a sword, piercing the Spider Man burning with black flames, and then lifted it up.
"And it makes me feel irritated..."
"You are wrong!"
After saying that, the Snake Knight instantly pulled his sword out of the Spider Man's body!
"Boom!"
And, at the moment he pulled out his sword, the Spider Man's body instantly exploded and turned into black "fireworks"!
Seeing this scene, Bai Yu's mood fell to the bottom.
Although she didn't know who this Snake Knight was and what his purpose was.
But... through a series of things he did, she could guess it.
His next target might be her!
"..."
And the result was exactly as she expected. After killing the Spider Monster, the Snake Knight turned his head and focused his attention on her.
Feeling his gaze, Bai Yu stood up again, mustered her courage, and tried her best to keep her eyes on him, looking at him neither servile nor overbearing.
Because, she would never fall down or run away because of fear!
Of course... more reasons, it was because she had to observe the Snake Knight's every move now to prevent him from making a move.
Because... once he made a move, she might not even understand how she died today.
"Hmph... Magical Girl Lan Ye..."
Looking at Bai Yu who was alert, the Snake Knight seemed to have no regard for her at all. He didn't care even though he had exposed many flaws. He folded his hands in front of his chest and said:
"Although I have heard your name from those guys a long time ago... But now it seems that they are still exaggerating too much."
"You can't even beat those trash, and you dare to say... You want revenge and kill all of them?"
"... Tsk!"
"This guy..."
Hearing the obvious sarcasm of the Snake Knight, Bai Yu, who was not willing to be outdone, retorted:
"Sooner or later, I will kill all those beasts! The stronger the desire in my heart, the stronger my ability will be!"
"Using hatred as strength... Hehe, a very classic setting and reason, but as time goes by, after the hatred in your heart is wiped out, can you still do it?"
Laughing, the Snake Knight raised his sword, pointed it at her, and said:
"You are too weak now, Lan Ye... just like those two trash."
"Originally~ I thought I could have a good 'play' today, but unfortunately, you didn't meet my expectations."
"But... don't worry, I am a magnanimous person, I won't kill you now."
"But in fact... you still lowered my expectations."
"So... now, I have to give you a..."
"A small lesson."
