The story of the black silk female knight

Humph.

Tia then turned her gaze away, annoyed, and continued to focus on the battle.

If even friendly forces were so deeply affected, then the enemy, the local rascals, were naturally even more miserable.

Shortly after Melodi began to dance, many monkeys abandoned their superior positions on the branches and the advantage of attacking from a distance, squeaking and jumping down to mindlessly charge at Melodi, only to die.

Those four-armed monkeys died very quickly.

Rather than being killed by Melody's sword, they seemed to be deliberately courting death.

To the untrained eye, many of the actions did not appear to be Melody attacking the Earth Monkey with her sword, but rather that the Earth Monkey himself bumped his neck or chest into the tip and blade of Melody's sword.

Like moths drawn to a flame.

Even when many of these mischievous monkeys die, their faces still bear a dreamy and blissful expression.

"What dazzling yet deadly swordsmanship... For humans, a Pearl-level swordswoman like Melody might be more dangerous than most Lighthouse-level monsters."

Seeing this, Valencia couldn't help but sigh, then pointed to the treetops around her:

"But it seems not all monkeys can be bewitched by Melody's sword dance... Even if they number less than a quarter, there are still dozens... Can Harry defend against them all by himself?"

We're certainly not afraid of those mere rocks from the local rascals, but what if the loaders or the food gets damaged?

"Mmm...yes."

Tia hesitated for a few seconds before making a decision.

"Come."

She beckoned Valencia back into the arcane carriage:

"When I bought this carriage, I remember the salesman saying that it had a defensive counterattack function... I've never used it before, so this is a good opportunity to try it out."

Tia rummaged through the carriage with great interest for more than ten seconds and found a booklet, which should be the instruction manual for the carriage.

She opened it, glanced at it a few times, then closed it again and put it aside.

Then, the soft carpet was lifted, and a light press was made on a prominent spot in the pattern on the floor. A crystal ball the size of a honeydew melon hung down from above.

"So it's this thing..."

Tia clearly recognized the crystal ball. She skillfully cupped it with both hands, infused it with magic, and successfully activated it.

The inside of the glowing crystal ball rippled slightly, and then the image stabilized... This was the scene outside the arcane carriage at that moment, and from the perspective, there should be some kind of observation component on the roof of the carriage.

Tia then used the index and middle fingers of both hands to slide across the crystal ball, just like Valensa used to play with a tablet in her past life, drawing several triangular marks on the crystal ball.

As Tia pointed her finger at the wild monkeys on the branches that were not bewitched by Melody's sword dance, triangular marks appeared on them one by one, and their color changed from blue to purple, just like the anti-aircraft missiles that Valensa had locked onto the planes in her previous life.

"Arcane Missile, fire!"

Finally, as Tia gently clapped her hands together at the crystal ball from both sides, more than ten streams of arcane light shot out from the roof of the carriage and towards the mischievous monkeys on the tree branches.

These arcane missiles were so fast that no one could escape their attack.

However, its intensity was not ideal, at least far less than the fireball Harry had just launched.

Many of the monkeys that were hit fell from the trees, but were only injured. Some of the stronger ones were even able to get back up quickly.

"emmm..."

Tia was clearly not satisfied with the result either, and pouted:

"You really can't trust what salespeople say... What's the point of this defense and counterattack system if it can't even kill a firefly-level monster?"

"Because this wasn't originally meant for you to actually use to fight monsters, right?"

Valensa covered her mouth and chuckled to herself.

"This is clearly an expensive toy that unscrupulous merchants sell specifically to the nobility. Its main purpose is probably to show off when hunting... It's quite useful for hunting pheasants and rabbits, but forget about hunting monsters."

Despite saying that, Valensa didn't let Tia put away the defensive counterattack system. Instead, she enthusiastically started playing with it herself.

While those arcane missiles weren't powerful enough to kill the monkeys, they were enough to knock them down from the trees and stop them from attacking the convoy with stones.

And so, under Melody's sword dance and Arcane Missiles' long-range sniping, the hundreds of Earth Monkeys surrounding the convoy were quickly reduced to less than half.

Most of them turned into corpses next to Melody, while a few struggled and cried out under the tree.

Seeing that his tribe had suffered such great losses, the Monkey King finally lost his temper.

It seems to still believe that the team is not a great threat, or perhaps it is very confident in itself.

In short, the Monkey King did not lead the remaining mischievous monkeys to retreat, but instead jumped down from the tree himself and slowly walked towards the caravan.

Its appearance was initially similar to that of an ordinary wild monkey, except that it was grayish in color and had very long fur.

However, as it approached the convoy, its body grew larger and larger, eventually becoming a four-armed monkey that was over 5 meters tall and very strong.

Chapter 107 The Female Knight Smashes Her Teammate

"So it's a mutated monkey king that's mutating towards gigantism? Speaking of which, calling this guy 'Earth Splash Monkey' isn't quite right anymore, it should be called 'Earth Splash Gold'."

Valensa, who had witnessed the Monkey King's gradual transformation, muttered a complaint, yet also expressed some concern:

"Melody's Shining Sword Dance is indeed powerful, but it doesn't seem to be very effective on those with strong wills and a pure heart... And an individual who can become king in any race cannot be mentally fragile."

That giant monkey was clearly unaffected, and it even grew so much bigger all of a sudden… Can Melody handle it?

“Merudi isn’t just good at Shining Sword Dance, besides, isn’t there Gillu?”

Tia remained remarkably calm:

“This size of monster is perfect for Giru to deal with, and he must have been itching for a fight, so now is the perfect time for him to vent his frustration.”

And that was indeed the case. Shortly after the giant Earth Monkey King appeared, Melody tacitly stepped back from the front, giving the opportunity to fight to Gil.

"Ah!"

After taking a deep breath, Giroud let out a low growl, and his height swelled from 1.9 meters to 2.2 meters. His muscles creaked and bulged, stretching his leather armor taut.

Giru also took out the bladeless greatsword, which weighed several Valencia's weight. After swinging it twice in the air, he dragged it diagonally to the ground, seemingly lazy, but in fact, it could deliver a crushing blow at any moment.

The giant monkey king seemed to sense the threat from Giru. It stopped advancing and instead roared and pounded its chest repeatedly as a form of intimidation.

"Scared me?"

Giroud grinned:

"For me, the mighty swordsman Gil, this kind of intimidation only excites me more... Judging from your appearance, you should also be a power type? Then let's go!"

Before the giant monkey king could get any closer, he charged forward, dragging his blunt sword, and unleashed a powerful upward slash.

The giant monkey king roared again, clenched its four hands together to form a super fist nearly a meter in diameter, and enhanced it with earth-attribute enchantment before slamming it down from above.

Boom!

Fist and sword clashed, followed by a huge sound and a cloud of dust. A powerful shockwave spread in all directions, and even Melody, who was closest to them, was blown away and jumped back several meters.

"how is it going?"

Valensa stared intently at the dissipating smoke and dust.

Although she had a lot of confidence in Giroud, the giant monkey king's size and fists were equally imposing.

"If we only compare their strength, then the big monkey should be about the same as Gil, and with the enhancement of earth attribute magic, it should even be better."

Tia smiled and glanced at Valensa:

“But we humans aren’t monsters that fight on instinct alone. We also have weapons and equipment… Giru’s bladeless greatsword is very powerful, so Giru should have the upper hand this time.”

Sure enough, as the smoke and dust completely dissipated, Valensa saw the result of the collision.

The giant monkey king was incredibly strong, smashing half of Giru's calf into the ground and causing cracks to appear on his leather armor.

But it fared even worse; its massive 5-meter-tall body was smashed and flipped over, now lying on its back with its limbs in the air. The fingers of two of its hands were severely deformed, likely the result of contact with the bladeless heavy sword.

"Phew... Looks like I won, big monkey."

Giru exhaled a long breath of white mist before laboriously pulling his feet out and walking to the giant monkey king, who was still unable to get up. He raised his blunt sword, ready to deliver a fatal blow.

The giant monkey king struggled to get up and fight back, but failed several times. He could only watch as Giru raised the blunt sword higher and higher, waiting for the blow that would crush his head.

Just when victory seemed assured, Valensa's heart suddenly began to pound in the carriage... It seemed as if her recently awakened bloodline talent was issuing a warning, or as if someone was reminding her in some way.

Something's not right!

Her mind immediately tensed up as she tried to locate the source of the danger, but her body acted on its own before her brain could process it.

He pushed open the door, jumped off the carriage, took out his short bow, nocked an arrow, drew it fully, took a shot, and fired.

The arrow flew from the bow and struck Giru in the calf, causing Giru, who had never expected to be ambushed by his teammate, to stagger and kneel down, but he survived.

The moment he knelt down, the giant monkey king on the ground suddenly sprang up and slapped his palms down at the spot where Giru had just been standing.

Its speed was incredibly fast, completely disproportionate to its enormous size. If Giru hadn't been kneeling down at the perfect moment, he would most likely have been flattened by the giant monkey before he could even swing his sword.

The others only just realized that Valencia had ambushed their teammates. Melody and Harry glared at her angrily, even raising their rapiers and wands.

"No, she just saved me!"

Fortunately, Giroud immediately understood Valencia's intention. As he explained, he pulled out the arrow, staring warily at the giant monkey king, while calling out to Asashi:

"I need to trouble you, High Priestess, to treat me... Valensa's arrow was so accurate, it hit my paralyzed tendon right away, and I can't use my leg right now."

"no problem."

Asahi immediately stepped forward, throwing the holy light she had already gathered in her hand forward to cover the part of Giru's calf that Valensa had just shot.

May the radiance of the Sun Goddess heal all wounds...

As Asashi whispered her prayers, Gil's wounds healed almost instantly. As he regained his mobility, he immediately jumped back, dodging another double punch from the giant monkey king.

Now everyone can see that something is very wrong with the giant monkey king.

Its fall from the ground after being injured was not an act; its severely deformed fingers were now broken, with the bone visible, and blood had stained its grayish-white fur red.

But the giant monkey king seemed to have lost the sense of pain; its eyes were bloodshot, its whole body was covered in blood, and the thumping of its heart was several times faster than before.

"This is... a berserk mutation?"

Tia quickly made a judgment, then frowned deeply:

"But how is that possible... For a low-level monster like the Earth Monkey, even one mutation is extremely rare, how could it mutate twice? Unless..."

Tia, seemingly having thought of something, quickly shouted to everyone:

"Stop playing around, all three of you, go at it together and take care of the big monkey as soon as possible! But it's best not to damage the corpse too much, I have some suspicions that need to be verified!"

"Yes!"

Giru, Melody, and Harry responded in unison, all with serious expressions.

Valensa also put away her shortbow and stood not far behind the three musketeers, holding a sword and shield, forming a second line of defense with Asashi.

Meanwhile, the giant monkey king, now bathed in blood and transformed into a four-armed red-haired gorilla, charged at the convoy once more.

Chapter 108 You can shoot me again next time

"Stop! Ice Blocking Sword!"

Harry was the first to make a move.

He swung his wand with the sword hilt forward, and several ice spikes as tall as a person appeared in the path of the berserk monkey's charge.

Any monster with a sound mind would likely slow down and turn to avoid it at this moment, because those gleaming ice spikes looked very cold and hard, and hitting them with your bare body would definitely hurt a lot.

Giru was already poised in front of the ice spikes, his bladeless greatsword ready to strike the berserk monkey as soon as it slowed down.

As a result, the berserk monkey not only did not slow down, but actually charged even faster, crashing directly into the ice spikes summoned by Harry, smashing its legs into a bloody mess.

"Ha, so you've completely lost your mind after all? Then die!"

At the same time, Giroud swung his blunt heavy sword, aiming directly at the neck of the berserk giant monkey.

However, the berserk monkey seemed to have completely lost its sense of pain. The injury to its leg, which would have made a normal life writhe in agony, had no effect on it at all, and it continued to charge at high speed.

This caused Giru to misjudge the landing point of the slash, and the berserk giant monkey even stretched out one arm to block the bladeless heavy sword.

Although the last arm was completely folded and deformed, it successfully avoided a fatal blow.

Giru's charged sword strike only hit the berserk monkey's shoulder. Although it shattered the flesh and bone of the berserk monkey's shoulder into pieces, it still failed to stop the berserk monkey's charge.
