Chapter 236: Magic is the only way
Zhou Yuan snorted and walked over to the crucible knight.
A sword appeared in his hand and was ready to attack.
The crucible knight was still walking quietly while taking cover behind his shield.
Zhou Yuan needed extra focus to sense the crucible knight's aura. This place was so dark that he couldn't even see through it.
He moved forward swiftly as he drew his sword.
Clank!
Unfortunately, his sword hit the shield so the attack was blocked.
The crucible knight didn't miss the chance. It raised its sword and swung it forward.
Zhou Yuan stepped back swiftly so that the crucible knight's attack would not hit him.
But he heard the sound of a sword swing again.
He was forced to take several steps to avoid the crucible knight's attack.
At this moment, he was a little far away from it, he could feel it.
Zhou Yuan was completely confused. In this place, he couldn't bring out his supernatural power or a portion of his inner power as if it was blocked in this place.
What he could do was strengthen his senses only.
At this moment, he didn't even know what the crucible knight would do next.
His ears twitched slightly, sensing movement.
And sure enough, in just a split second a sword almost stabbed his heart.
Luckily he was able to dodge.
"Tch, whatever. I'll be more serious from now on."
Zhou Yuan gripped the fire-breathing sword tightly and slashed forward.
Clank!
The sound of clanging swords rang out, and Zhou Yuan's attack was blocked by the crucible knight.
Zhou Yuan did not stop there, he attacked again and again.
Clank!
Clank!
Clank!
Clank!
Zhou Yuan only attacked without knowing the rhythm of the fight. It's embarrassing when you have the natural elemental power of darkness, but you have a hard time-fighting in a dark place.
Clank!
Clank!
Clank!
All of Zhou Yuan's attacks were easily blocked by the crucible knight.
At this time, the sound of clashing swords could no longer be heard. Zhou Yuan frowned when he realized that his slash only hit the air.
He became serious and looked right and left to sense the crucible knight's aura.
At this moment, his eyes widened as he realized something.
Something big and long was coming towards him.
Bang!
Zhou Yuan was hit by something as big as a giant whip, sending him flying.
Zhou Yuan landed on the ground with a bruise on his arm. He didn't even know what attack it was.
Zhou Yuan slowly got up and looked forward earnestly.
He prepared for any possibility.
His expression was full of seriousness and high focus. He couldn't let his guard down.
And at this moment, he felt a familiar movement.
His eyes widened and he immediately took a dozen steps back.
The wind blew and his clothes were torn. He could feel it, it was the same horn attack as before.
Zhou Yuan clenched his fists and looked irritated. The crucible knight's attacks were dangerous. A little careless and lives fly.
Let alone the attack of the horn on its shoulder, it could even penetrate his body.
.............
It had been almost 30 minutes since he had faced the crucible knight and there was no bright spot, he was still having a hard time dealing with it.
He always kept his distance from the crucible knight while thinking of ways to attack him.
And now, he seemed to have come up with an idea and was ready to implement it.
He walked over to the crucible knight warily.
And sure enough, he felt a familiar movement.
A gust of wind blew and the crucible knight darted towards him with a horn on its shoulder.
Unfortunately, it didn't hit Zhou Yuan. Zhou Yuan instead lowered his head as he wielded a sword that stabbed the crucible knight's chest and penetrated Its armor.
But his expression was filled with disbelief. He didn't feel flesh at all but was empty as if it were an iron armor with a spirit inside.
And while he was transfixed, something like a huge tail appeared behind the crucible knight and shook it violently.
Bang!
Zhou Yuan was hit by the huge tail and sent flying.
He hadn't even landed on the ground yet, the crucible knight came rushing in with another horn strike.
He was ready to pierce Zhou Yuan's heart.
Clank!
Too bad Zhou Yuan was able to balance his body and managed to parry the attack.
But his expression didn't look good, there was only anger and annoyance.
"Bastard, I will really kill you!"
Zhou Yuan let out the fire-breathing sword again.
"Sigil!"
He slashed forward.
Slash!
A crimson-black sword slash effect appeared and moved toward the crucible knight.
The Crucible Knight who saw this immediately dodged, but was caught by the slashing attack causing part of Its armor to shatter.
Zhou Yuan was stunned when he saw this.
He couldn't use inner or supernatural powers, but he could use magic!
"It will be easier." Zhou Yuan grinned.
Then, he jumped up.
"Thousand years sword!"
Clink!
Hundreds of swords appeared from above and rained down upon the crucible knight so that it needed to take cover behind its shield.
The rain of swords lasted for 10 seconds. And now, it was completely disappeared.
Zhou Yuan did not stop, in mid-air, that fire-breathing sword turned into a Giant and long sword with blue energy.
"Moonveil!"
He drew the magic greatsword towards the crucible knight.
The Crucible Knight immediately raised his shield to block the attack.
Stab!
Too bad the shield couldn't block the attack so the magic greatsword penetrated the shield deep into its armor.
"Moon explosions!"
Boom!
The greatsword exploded with blue energy and flames blazed across the ground.
Zhou Yuan landed on the ground smoothly as he looked forward calmly.
It took a few seconds for the flames to completely die out, the temporary light was also gone, replaced by boundless darkness again.
[You killed a crucible knight]
[Congratulations, you got the darkness fragment]
After that, a stone with a sharp point appeared in Zhou Yuan's hand.
"What's this?" Asked Zhou Yuan.
[...]
No response from the system.
Whoosh!
The pointed stone suddenly shook, absorbing all the darkness in this place like black smoke.
Zhou Yuan gripped the stone tightly, this pressure was so heavy that his hands went numb.
Light began to appear and the darkness faded away.
Whoosh!
The stone was still absorbing the darkness and Zhou Yuan was sweating profusely as he knelt in pain.
Zhou Yuan's pupils also turned pitch black and the veins on his arms also darkened.
Zhou Yuan could not endure this pain and in the end, collapsed on the ground unconscious.
.........
Don't know how much time passed.
Zhou Yuan slowly opened his eyes and saw the rooftops with the morning sun shining on his face.
He immediately came to his senses and sat up.
"Where am I?"
He looked right and left and did not recognize this place.
"You're home, honey."
