The Knight's Journey to the Empire

"Dear Knight, please help me!"

"Merciful knight, I have old people and young children to take care of, I don't want to die!"

"Please! Master Knight! Take me home! My family will be heartbroken without me!"

"Sir Knight, I have money. I will give you all my money. Please save me!"

"Woo woo woo! I want to go home. I won't come here again! I will never go out to sea again!"

……

As soon as Butler Mark landed on the ship, many sailors rushed out to ask him for help.

The voice is sad, tears are streaming, those who see it cry, and those who hear it feel sad!

But now, Butler Mark doesn't have the extra time to pay attention to them.

Because he had heard a roar coming from the bottom of the sea.

Obviously, because his attack was effective, the sea monster [Nidhoggr] also knew he was coming!

Then those sticky and thick tentacles seemed to have eyes, and they waved towards him and attacked.

With a "whoosh" sound.

I saw a light green, thick, sticky tentacle sweeping towards the door of Butler Mark, and it was so fast that the surrounding wind was whistling.

Fortunately, Butler Mark has been deploying his mental force field since he got on board.

Therefore, he was able to effectively sense the sudden attack of this tentacle.

So Butler Mark bent back and let the tentacle sweep past him!

But unfortunately, a sailor who stood up nearby failed to notice and dodge in time and was hit by the tentacle.

So the sailor was slapped away and finally turned into a pool of meat with a "bang"!

This immediately caused more sailors to scream or wail in fear.

But again, Butler Mark doesn't have time to pay attention to them for the time being.

Because when he dodged the tentacle that swept across, another tentacle came slashing towards him vertically from top to bottom.

He also managed to dodge by quickly moving sideways.

Then the tentacle directly hit the hull of the medium-sized cap ship, almost cutting the ship in half!

Butler Mark was so frightened by what he saw!

Although he would not be seriously injured if hit by this attack, he would still be in a miserable state.

Moreover, the mental force field formed by the external release of mental power is not omnipotent!

Sometimes it cannot react in time to some fast, powerful attacks, or sneak attacks!

For example, now: Although Butler Mark has dodged the vertical strike of a sea monster's tentacle, another sea monster's tentacle is coming.

The sea monster's tentacle also chopped down vertically, but unfortunately Butler Mark was not so lucky this time!

He couldn't dodge in time and was forced to block with the enchanted greatsword!

It is worth mentioning that, purely in terms of strength and physique, Butler Mark, as a Knight of the Pillar State, is not inferior to this sea monster [Nidhoggr].

Therefore, it is basically impossible for the sea monster's tentacle to cause harm to him in this way.

But unfortunately, the mass of this medium-sized cap ship was not enough to support him and block the power of the sea monster's tentacles.

So Butler Mark was directly knocked into the cabin by this huge force.

Then several more tentacles of the sea monster came over one after another, almost breaking the ship in two.

Many of the sailors on the ship were also affected and fell into the sea with horror in their eyes.

As for the sailors who did not fall into the sea, they also had expressions of fear and despair on their faces.

Because they just saw with their own eyes that the powerful knight, whom they regarded as their savior, was beaten to death!

So the hope that had originally risen in my heart was shattered at this moment.

This feeling made them look as pale as death, as if they were falling into the abyss.

……

However, it is obvious that a strong man at the professional level of a Pillar Knight would not die so easily, or even be injured.

So after a while, an ice-blue light shot up into the sky from the ruins of the ship!

And that was exactly Butler Mark who had already opened the fighting spirit shield!

Although he looked a little disheveled now, he was not injured.

Butler Mark soared into the sky, approached a sea monster's tentacle, and chopped it down with a sword.

The enchanted greatsword glowed with light due to the infusion of fighting spirit, and the sword energy it emitted was incomparably sharp.

So the sea monster's tentacle, which was two meters thick, was cut off directly!

Unfortunately, no blood flowed out from the broken surface of the tentacle.

Because Butler Mark's ice-attributed fighting spirit has a freezing property, so when he hits the monster, it is equivalent to stopping the bleeding of the sea monster [Nidhoggr]!

"Roar" [Nidhoggr] the sea monster made a loud noise.

Obviously, after having two tentacles chopped off in a row, it was already enraged!

Then the other tentacles exerted force and crushed the already dilapidated medium-sized cap ship into pieces.

The sailors on the ship also wailed and fell into the sea.

But Butler Mark still had no time to pay attention to them because he was avoiding the attacks of the tentacles of other sea monsters.

And now he was fighting with the sea monster [Nidhoggr], stirring up the surrounding sea water wildly, forming waves several meters high.

In addition, there were no islands or ships around to provide shelter, and there were dozens of people falling into the water!

So even if Butler Mark wanted to save people, he couldn't do it!

Even if they are rescued, I don’t know how to place them!

They may even become a burden and bring trouble to themselves!

Therefore, life and death are left to fate!

……

The mental force field, which was enough to cover a radius of 100 meters around, was fully deployed, and Butler Mark was concentrating on detecting the attack trajectory of the sea monster's tentacles.

At the same time, fighting spirit surged throughout his body, improving his physical fitness. He also did not forget to inject fighting spirit into the enchanted greatsword in his hand to stimulate his attribute bonus.

Butler Mark relied on his agile body to skillfully flash and jump, avoiding the attacks from the sea monster's tentacles from all directions.

Even though he can't fly yet, he can always find various footholds or leverage points within the range of his mental force field!

Sometimes it was a piece of broken wood from the hull, sometimes it was a floating corpse that had turned white from being soaked, sometimes it was even the tentacle of a sea monster, or he could use his fighting spirit to transform a piece of floating ice.

Anyway, he had to keep running to avoid being besieged by numerous sea monster tentacles.

Of course, he was also trying his best to lead the sea monster [Nidhoggr] away to the distant sea.

The purpose is to gradually move the center of the battle away from the sea area where the incident occurred.

Because there is no impact from the aftermath of the battle, the waves in the sea area where the incident occurred will gradually die down, giving the sailors who fell into the water a chance to escape death.

Otherwise, in such a harsh environment, even if all the sailors were good swimmers with water-attributed fighting spirit, they would still be knocked to the northwest by a wave and die.

But if you really want to talk about it in detail, it was indeed quite frustrating for Butler Mark to fight the sea monster [Nidhoggr] on the sea.

Because there are not enough footholds or leverage points, he needs to move at all times to avoid being besieged by the sea monster's tentacles.

But doing so would undoubtedly distract his energy and attention, preventing him from fully devoting himself to the battle.

So if this battle took place on land, Butler Mark would not be chased away like this.

Fortunately, the powerful Knights of the Pillar State have abundant reserves of fighting spirit.

Therefore, in the short term, Butler Mark should not run out of fighting spirit.

Moreover, Butler Mark has already comprehended the entry level of [Natural Law of Ice]!

At critical moments, he can also use the power of natural laws to mobilize the surrounding heaven and earth to attack the sea monster [Nidhoggr] or even escape.

Of course, Butler Mark didn't run away the whole time, he still had many ways to fight back.

After the Pillar Knights comprehend the laws of nature, they have two important auxiliary functions in battle:

First, the form of Dou Qi can be easily shaped, thereby giving the Dou Qi attack more powerful power!

Before reaching the professional level of Pillar State Knight, knights had almost only one way of attack, namely, fighting spirit slash, apart from their exclusive fighting skills.

But after the Pillar Knights understood the laws of nature, things became different.

For example, now, although Butler Mark is constantly dodging the attacks of the sea monster's tentacles, he is also constantly condensing ice blades, ice cones, ice swords, ice balls, ice spikes and other attack methods to attack the tentacles of the sea monster [Nidhoggr].

Although the power of these attack methods is not as strong as that of Darcy Klo's exclusive fighting skill - [Nine Blade Strangulation].

But it is definitely several times more powerful than a single wind blade of [Nine Blades Strangulation], and the time it takes to condense is also much shorter.

Moreover, within the range of Butler Mark's mental force field, he could easily condense this level of attack means.

The second is to give fighting spirit attacks more powerful attributes.

The fighting spirit of Butler Mark is of the ice type, which has an extreme cold attribute.

And as he began to comprehend the nature of ice, the extremely cold properties of his ice-type fighting spirit were greatly enhanced with the blessing of the laws.

For example, the ice attacks that Butler Mark is launching now, every time they hit the sea monster's tentacles, they can freeze a large piece of hard ice on its surface.

Although this did not cause any serious damage to the sea monster, it caused it great distress and prevented it from launching an attack with all its strength.

Even Butler Mark could clearly feel that the attack speed of the sea monster [Nidhoggr] was slower than before.

I guess it was the extreme coldness of my ice-type fighting spirit that played a role.
