Hayato was running in the hallway where the other knights went till he heard someone speak making him slow down until he stopped in a corner of the hallway, he leaned his back against the wall and peeps a little to see who was talking, It was the group of knights that he was chasing they were standing on an entrance, the entrance was emitting a blue light like a force field and in the center was a little blue scarab covered with the same blue light
One of the knights turned to see their leader " Damn, sir, this strange artifact sealed the door, we can't enter the dungeon right now " he spoke with a frustrated voice
" What a strange artifact, just by seeing this I have the feeling that the prisoner is more dangerous than we think, try to search for any vulnerability in that thing it maybe has one " The leader said with a serious voice
" Yes, sir " The knight that was closer to the entrance of the dungeon responded and he begins to inspect the artifact
Hayato kept watching them around the corner of the hallway listening to everything they say
' So the door has been locked by that scarab, I think I should wait until they open it '
Hayato waited for a couple of minutes more, then he heard the scream of one of the knights, he turned to see what happened
" GAAAAA!!! " A blue lightning covers one of the knights and then he was sent flying a few meters, he almost reaches Hayato
" What!? Steven! " One of the knights yelled in surprise
" Check his condition! " The leader of the knights ordered the one who yelled and he approached the knight named Steven, he removed his helmet, then put his hand on Steven's neck
" He is alive sir, but unconscious, he has serious burns on his hands and face " The knight turned to see his leader with a serious face
Hayato makes a wry smile ' It seems that the artifact has electric properties too, that thing is really interesting '
" F*ck! we never going to open this door without the help of a mage " The leader yelled in anger and frustration then someone appeared behind them
" Then all of you are useless " Hayato said in a cold voice
" What!? you are the intruder I never thought that you will be here so fast! now I have to deal with you! " The leader turned to see Hayato in surprise but then he makes a serious face
" You must know at this point, that none of you can't beat me " Hayato said in a calm voice
" Don't be so cocky! I'm different from all the knights of this place! " The leader said with anger
" Sir! what are we going to do with the door!? " The knight who was behind the leader said in worry
The leader doesn't turn to see the knight but he responds in a serious voice " We left that for now! first, we have to take care of this f***ing masked man, put Steven on the wall! we have to go all out against him! "
" Yes, sir " The knight put the unconscious Steven on the side of the hallway and stands up
" Now, spear formation gentleman! " The leader yelled and stabbed the ground with his sword then he kneeled behind the sword
" YES!! SIR!! " The other three knights commenced to move, two of them positioned on both sides of the leader and the last one was in front of him, grabbing their swords with both hands in a position where the sword was in front of their faces. The three knights looked like statues in the same position
' What are these guys doing? ' Hayato frowns under his mask but then ' What is that?! ' some transparent tentacles come out from the body of their leader, they started to surround the entire bodies of the three knights and when they are surrounded by them the leader closed his eyes while he was saying some words
" We Become The Fire! " A red light emerged from the tentacles, transmitting red energy to the knights, then their swords and hands started to shine in a black-red light
" We Become The Wind! " The light of the tentacles changed from red to white color and the knights started to release white smoke from their bodies
" We Become The Stone! " Finally the tentacles change from white to brown color and the bodies of the knights were covered with a transparent rock-like armor and finally the tentacles disappeared
Hayato scanned them with his Sharingan and he saw something strange ' What is that? some kind of buff....? their energy is stronger than the princess '
" This is something no one aside from me in this kingdom can do, this technique... I was planning to use this when we arrived with our Lord, but I think you need to die right now " The leader was covered in the same form as the other three knights he raised grabbing his sword from the ground
" So what? " Hayato says with a calm voice
" Haha, so? that means that you are dead my friend " The leader laughed mockingly when he stopped, one of the knights disappeared from his position and reappeared on Hayato's left side and he swings his sword
*CLANK* Hayato raised his katana and blocked the attack from the knight, but he noticed that his katana started to heat up and change to a red color so " Chidori " he covered his katana with his Chidori, and the katana started to turn to normal, but before Hayato thought to attack the knight, the other one appeared on his right and he did the same as the other one
Hayato jumped back but the last knight was already behind him. The knight tried to stab him but Hayato turned around quickly *CLANK* he changed the direction of the sword of the knight with a swing from his katana the leader appeared on his right side and he swings his sword from top to bottom, Hayato jumped back again, but he doesn't evade the sword fast and he received a cut on his mask but the mask doesn't break apart
' These guys are really strong, if I fight with them in this way, it will take me longer than I expected '
" You have really good skills masked man, but sooner or later you will reach your limits, and then it will be your end " The leader said with a mocking smile
" Haha, you think so? " Hayato moves quickly in front of the first two knights that attack him and he launched his katana into the air " Because I don't, Rasengan Barrage! " two energy spheres appear on each one of Hayato's hands and he hits the chest of both knights *BOOM**BOOM*
" Ugh (x2) " Both of the knights clenched their teeth when they received the impacts, then they were sent flying against the wall and then Hayato caught his katana when it fell
" It seems that you are the ones that are going to get tired first " Hayato turned to see the leader showing his Sharingan through the mask
" A Demon? well that doesn't matter, that attack isn't enough to kill them, hehe " The leader laughed again and the knights that Hayato attacked began to rise from the ground they don't have any scratches on their bodies
' Hmm, that attack didn't do anything?.... No, the rock-like armor that they have looked completely different from before '
" Sir, if it wasn't for that buff that we receive from you, we will be already in the ground unconscious or even dead! " One of the knights that stood up from the ground said in a serious voice
" Don't worry if we attack him together we can kill him even if we receive his attacks a couple of times! " The leader said in a calm voice and all the knights began to raise their swords
Hayato becomes serious and lifts his hands ready to make hand seals but then *ZOOM* a sound came from the door of the dungeon and a handsome man with red hair and green eyes came out, he was covered with injuries, and his armor is broken in a few places and his face is covered with blood but that doesn't seem to be his. When all of the knights saw the hands of the man they were completely shocked
" My...my..my lord... " The leader said in a soft but surprised voice
[ ' Quest 1 Completed!:
Arrive where Wade is without killing any knights
You received: 10,000 System Points, 1x Senzu Bean ' ]
The man was Wade, he has two decapitated heads in each hand, one is the head of a black-haired woman and the other one is the head of a blond man
Wade raises the head of the blond man and said with a mocking smile " Oh! this? don't worry, you would serve him in the other life soon "
' It seems that Wade has good strength, but I don't think he can't beat these four at the same time and the other quest isn't completed yet, maybe the leader is one of Wade's targets '
