Chapter 76: Knight and Knight. Sword and Sword

Emily has discovered that someone has been reading books from the alleged radical named Nairo Drogen. What exactly is the meaning of the information that she learned in the books?

Emily finishes looking at the books. “I’m taking these books. They are too dangerous to let people with evil intentions have.”

She packs the books away in a pouch and goes to the entrance of the room. Once she opens the door, the knight she walked by earlier is now standing there with a large sword in hand.

“What the…!? How did this get—?!”

The knight interrupts her, swinging its sword at her. She barely dodges it by stumbling back, and then slams the door shut.

“This sucks! Is there another way out of this room?! A secret exit!? Something!?”

She starts knocking over objects around the room, trying to look for clues. Eventually, she finds a button behind a picture frame near the fireplace.

“Aha! I bet this opens a secret passage!”

She pushes the button, causing a secret door to open in the back of the fireplace. However, the fire is still lit.

“I don’t have a way of putting out that fire so it looks like I have to quickly roll through it.”

She does a quick roll through the fire to avoid catching on fire, and then crawls through the new opening.

“I hope this doesn’t take me somewhere with more danger.”

It’s not long before she sees the end of the passage.

“There’s the exit! Maybe I can find Zeth and Sasha!”

She crawls out from the exit of the secret passage and finds herself in a somewhat large room. Unfortunately for her, there are eight medieval knights in the room ready to fight.

“These knights don’t even have a body in them! Looks like I have to fight, and with so many, I better keep my distance.”

Emily takes out her B3 Tide Shotgun and aims it at the knights as they start walking toward her, swords in hand. She fires her shotgun, blasting bullet holes in the knights she hits, but the shots otherwise have no effect on them.

“No! I guess I have to cut them up with my sword!”

She takes out her Slasher Sword and charges at the knights. She slashes horizontally at a knight, but it blocks the slash with its own sword. As part of a combo, she immediately transitions a slash to the knight that is to her right. She gets a good horizontal slice through the front half of that knight’s body at its midsection.

She confidently smiles as the top half of that knight’s body leans over. However, the tear in the armor repairs itself, returning the knight back to normal.

“Huh!?”

She is now on the defensive as three knights are trying to slash her with their swords all at the same time. She does her best but a knight lands a successful slash, wounding her on the side of her abdomen.

“Damn, that hurts!” she shouts as she stumbles backward, bleeding from the attack. “You hit me that time but it won’t happen again!”

She angrily charges at the knights. She fools the knights by doing a quick sidestep and slashing at the waist of a different knight, separating the upper half of its body from its lower half completely.

“Gotcha!”

She kicks the knight armor back to where she started, and then runs back to the armor. She picks up the armor and puts it on.

“What better way to fight knights than to become a knight yourself? We are now knight and knight with sword and sword.”

Emily has defeated one knight but seven remain. Now wearing full knight armor, she will take on the remaining knights!
