Noble Emblem

A young Brave walked out of his village, gathered companions to his side, defeated the Great Demon King, became famous, then came back with beauties in hand! This was a legend that appears in the world of Seyrol every 200 years! Our protagonist, however, isn’t a Brave. Even so, for over a thousand years his figure has loomed throughout its history. Unwittingly, the name of the Red Priest began to resound throughout the world. Red Priest’s legend included extraordinary sword techniques and magic, erudite knowledge, and an almost prophetic ability to lead young Braves toward the proper path. People of the world think of him as a descendent of the ancient Golden Race which led to his omnipotence. In essence, however, this was just the characteristics of the profession known as ‘Noble’. A word from the fabulousest translator/editor on Earth which is me I took upon this translation/editing project for the same reason I started translating my first Chinese novel. There are just too many big ass gems buried in a deep cesspool. I've long guessed that Qidian stopped introducing good Chinese novels on this platform in order to give some breathing room for English (and other) originals, but I don't agree with such approach. From a reader's standpoint, it is such a shame that we don't even know how many brilliant works we are missing because of the language barrier. To be honest, I'm mainly copypasting from the site called Novelhi. It is a really good resource and their machine translation is the best I've seen so far, and they also translate up to the latest available chapter. Still, they have several issues. For some reason they always miss the last paragraph which make you can missout on a potentially very important information related to a story, and they also have parts where just a couple of words gets repeated for a whole paragraph and it actually replaces the original text. They also translate an ad together with a chapter which is immersion breaking. I'll be correcting the inherent sins of such MTL with manual editing and translation and I will also polish some rough edges so that the readers will have as much seemless reading experience as possible. You will definitely have a better time reading this than me for sure

The real fighting style of the divine nobles (2)

In the game, other players, even Summoners, took the role-playing route. However, the Divine Nobles were different. As long as they could confer three or more Knights, they could activate the Round Table Knight Management System. If they could obtain another territory, they could activate the Territory Management System again. With the help of internal affairs, they could become a qualified lord as long as their intelligence was not too low.

Since each Knight of the Round Table could confer another five 'Second Knight' titles, there would be a total of 30 Knights. This was already a large number. If the brain were to memorize everyone's data, there might be mistakes, so the system was considerate enough to create a management interface.

Although the interface of the Knights of the Round Table had not been activated yet, Uther was a knight that Liang Lidong had personally conferred upon him. He could not be more familiar with the energy waves coming from the coat of arms on his body.

Since his subordinates were here, there was no need for Liang Lidong to be so conservative.

"Rise of the Dragon!"

Another huge dragon-shaped water column crashed into the Black Knight. Due to the mirage shield, the water column attack was blocked again, but the situation was very different this time. Liang Lidong used the curtain of rain to hide himself and followed the dragon-shaped water column at an extremely fast speed. When the water column was blocked by the magic shield, he suddenly appeared in front of the Black Knight. The sharp longsword in his hand turned into a silver line and stabbed at the skull of the Black Knight.

The dragon-shaped water column was a frontal attack. Although the impact was strong, it could not break through the mirage shield. However, Liang Lidong's stab was different. Although the impact was much weaker than the water column, the blade was sharp. This kind of concentrated attack could produce a very strong destructive force.

The tip of the sword pierced through the gray mirage shield without any hindrance and stabbed at the forehead of the Black Knight. Although the Black Knight was much stronger than the average Undying, if the soul fire in its head was extinguished by the attack, it would still "die."

The Black Knight's gauntleted right hand blocked its forehead … The tip of Liang Lidong's sword was only half a centimeter away from the Black Knight's hand before he quickly retracted it. The Black Knight's armour was very thick and very strong. With his rich battle experience, Liang Lidong guessed the Black Knight's thoughts. It planned to block the tip of the sword with its hand when Liang Lidong attacked. Although the sword would pierce through its palm, the Undying was not afraid of such an injury. Instead, it could use the muscles in its palms to grip the opponent's sword with a backhand grip, making it impossible for the opponent to retract the sword and temporarily unable to move in battle.

Unfortunately, Liang Lidong was already prepared for this. As he sheathed his sword, he did a high somersault, like a dolphin leaping out of the water. Whether it was his posture or the arc of his leap, it was quite elegant.

The Black Knight reached forward, trying to grab the enemy, but unfortunately, he missed.

Tina's eyes lit up when she saw Liang Lidong jump up. In her eyes, this was an excellent opportunity to attack. Just now, Liang Lidong had been standing in front of the Black Knight. Because the Black Knight's figure was relatively large, the opponent's body was completely blocked by the Black Knight, so there was no way to use the bone spear to attack. But now the opponent was in mid-air. Generally speaking, this kind of jump without the ability to change direction in the air was very easy to catch, and it was very easy to suffer a fatal blow. Therefore, experienced professionals generally would not jump around casually.

Naturally, Liang Lidong also knew this, but he still made this seemingly "amateur" move because he still had a backup plan.

The rain was still pouring down. Tina flipped her right hand. A bone spear condensed from dark elements appeared in her hand. She calculated the opponent's movement trajectory in the air and was about to throw the bone spear when she saw that the opponent seemed to throw something black.

Because of the heavy rain, as long as the distance was a little further, the scenery was not very clear. When the black thing was about to fall to the ground, she finally saw it clearly. It was a magic scroll.

Damn it! Tina immediately changed the magic barrier on her body from physical resistance to magic resistance. The process was very fast, but at this time, the scroll also fell to the ground, bursting with dazzling light. Then, with the scroll as the center point, dozens of electric plasma burst out in all directions, and in the short span of a second, a "spider web" completely made of electric currents was formed on the ground.

This was the Third-tier Thunder-type spell, 'Rolling Thunder Net'. Under normal circumstances, depending on the strength of the Spell Caster, the spell would cause several electric attacks within a radius of five to ten meters. The closer one was to the center, the more attacks one would receive.

But because of the heavy rain, the ground was already full of water. Non-pure water conducted electricity, and the magic world also followed this rule. With Liang Lidong's current strength, this Rolling Thunder Net could at most create a radius of six meters, but because of the water on the ground, its range was at least fifteen meters.

The Rolling Thunder Net lasted for about five seconds, and the two Black Knights were swept by the electric currents and fell to the ground at the same time. Although they were not fatally wounded, they would not be able to fight for a while. The skeletons behind them were not so lucky, and they all shattered into pieces. Now, Tina had no protection in front of her.

And Tina was also within the attack range of the electric spell. Although she hurriedly cast a magic resistance shield, the shield was not strong enough. Some electric currents still penetrated the shield and affected her body.

After a moment of numbness, Tina's long hair became fluffy. Although she didn't seem to be hurt on the surface, the soul of a Necromancer was considered to be of the Dark Element. Therefore, this weak electric shock had shaken her spirit and caused her brain severe pain.

The electric net on the ground disappeared, and Liang Lidong fell from the sky. The puddles of water on the ground scattered to the sides, and his feet touched the dry ground. Then, he pounced on Tina, who was no longer at the vanguard.

Physical attacks and magic attacks were not very effective on Tina, because she could convert the resistance of the magic shield. So, when Liang Lidong lunged forward, he also threw out a magic scroll, Whirlwind.

The small whirlwind, which was about the height of a grown man and glowed with green magic light, rushed toward Tina before Liang Lidong did. The whirlwind kept spinning, sucking in the rainwater and puddles around it, and then "flinging" it out again.

Watching the whirlwind roaring at her, Tina did not see Liang Lidong who followed the whirlwind closely. She snorted. "It's just a petty trick!"

She pointed her finger, and a few black skulls in the shape of air flew out of her body and crashed into the small whirlwind that was not far away from her. After only half a second … The two collided, and the whirlwind soon dissipated under the impact and explosion of the skulls. The destructive power of the two parties. The splashing water and the rainwater around further hindered the vision.

"If that's all you have …"

While mocking Liang Lidong, Tina summoned the skulls on her left and right to protect her front with her mental power. But exactly at this moment, Liang Lidong suddenly emerged from the curtain of rain. He was only four meters away from Tina.

With the buff of Agile Movement and Unstoppable Wrath, Liang Lidong was quite fast. The distance of four meters was practically nothing.

A longsword that was enchanted with white light pierced Tina's shoulder and directly pierced her!

"Ah!"

Tina let out a shrill scream, and a wave of energy spurted out of her mouth. Liang Lidong was hit head-on and was sent flying several meters away. He rolled on the ground and retreated at an extremely fast speed, disappearing into the curtain of rain.

Banshee's Wail was one of the rare silent spells of Dark Magic. It could form a special wave of air that was around three meters in front of the caster. Although it wasn't very powerful, it could send enemies and flying items flying. It could even blow away some ballistic spells. It was a spell that combined attack and defense. The only drawback was that it was too close, but it was still a spell that dark spellcasters loved.

Liang Lidong stood up and shook his head. Although he was not physically injured, the ear-piercing sound that was comparable to fingernails scratching a blackboard still had a great impact on his ears and auditory nerves. Now, he could no longer hear the sound of the water around him, and his ears were buzzing.

Although he was a little nauseous, compared to Tina, the damage he had suffered was not even worth mentioning.

"Damn it, damn it!" You deserve to die! "The Faux Fallen Emperor Sword hung from Tina's left shoulder blade, glowing with a milky-white light. Her expression was twisted as if she was in great pain.

'Blade of Light' was a spell that Liang Lidong added to the sword. It could give a weapon the effect of light. For (Level x 10) minutes, the weapon's attack would be treated as an attack of light, and the weapon's original physical properties would be retained.

Black blood flowed from Tina's wound, and a black mist rose from it. Her face twisted, and she reached out to pull the glowing weapon away. However, the moment her right hand touched the hilt, there was a tearing sound, and she had no choice but to pull her hand back in pain.

"You actually know Blade of Light!"

Tina's venomous voice traveled through the torrential rain.

At this time, the ringing in Liang Lidong's ears finally weakened. He smiled when he heard Tina's roar. After knowing that his opponent was a necromancer, how could he not prepare a light magic scroll? Only an idiot would not change his fighting style and skills according to the enemy's weakness. He looked at Tina with a relaxed attitude through the curtain of rain. The Pseudo Fallen Emperor Sword with Blade of Light was still hanging from her shoulder. As long as the sword was not pulled out, it would continue to harm the necromancer's soul and expel the dark elements in the necromancer's body.

"Don't think that you've won!" Tina waved her hand, and at least three hundred skeletons appeared around her. These skeletons were taller than the previous ones, and the soul fires in their eye sockets were more vigorous. They were obviously high-level skeleton soldiers. Most importantly, half of these three-faced skeletons were archers, and about a third of them held bone staffs in their hands.

After summoning the new skeletons, Tina knelt on the ground, and her eyes began to blur. However, she still looked in Liang Lidong's direction, and the resentment in her eyes seemed to be able to ignite the air around her.

"She's even taken out her trump card. How much does she hate me?"

Liang Lidong muttered to himself, then turned and ran without any grace.

Undead creatures were not affected by vision. The skeleton soldiers quickly drew their bows and nocked arrows, and then a wave of black arrows shot towards Liang Lidong's position. Fortunately, he ran fast. There were at least forty to fifty arrows nailed where he was a moment ago, and even more arrows landed on the ground around him.

The skeleton mages wearing tattered gray robes and holding bone staffs also began to make their move. Dark green banshees emerged from their bone staffs, and they howled with endless anger and resentment as they broke through the curtain of rain and chased after Liang Lidong.

Hearing the howls of the banshees, Liang Lidong did not hesitate to stick a scroll on his body, and a milky white magic barrier surrounded him. The banshees flew very fast, and it did not take long for them to catch up with Liang Lidong. One by one, they crashed into Liang Lidong's body, and the magic barrier kept trembling. After a few seconds, it announced that it was broken, and then these banshees entered Liang Lidong's body.

Banshees were a very special kind of undead creatures. They had no intelligence, no feelings, and only relied on the resentment in life to urge them to attack all living beings. After these banshees entered a person's body, they would attack the owner's soul and absorb the enemy's energy.

However, if the target's willpower attribute was higher than 8, then they could be immune to the banshees' soul attack, and in turn, kill them.

However, after all, the game was different from a game. Although the core of Liang Lidong's soul was indeed not attacked by the banshees, every time more than ten banshees attacked his soul, it would cause waves of tremors in the space of consciousness, causing him to feel dizzy. This made it impossible for him to control his body steadily. Then, he squatted down and put his hands on the ground to support himself, trying not to fall.

At this time, the group of skeleton soldiers had already pulled the bowstrings, and another wave of arrows was thrown at him.

At this time, because of the mental shock, Liang Lidong did not have much strength left, and there was no way for him to dodge at all. Seeing that the arrows were about to cover his position, his body suddenly twisted, and his whole body suddenly appeared behind a mound more than 20 meters away. Phase Transfer. Before the battle, Liang Lidong gave Joan Of Arc a life-saving scroll to save his life.

"Master, are you okay?" Joan Of Arc's voice came through the mind channel.

Liang Lidong wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. "I'm fine, just a little dizzy. You saved my life, thank you."

"Haha, I'm finally of some use." Joan Of Arc's voice sounded very happy. "But what do we do now? There are a lot of skeletons around her. "

"Don't worry. Our reinforcements are here."

Because of the Blade of Light, Tina's consciousness was getting weaker and weaker. She could only focus all her attention on the front and try to stay awake. She had to see Beta die before she could rest in her phylactery. However, she did not expect that an enemy had appeared behind her.

A brawny man wielding a greatsword broke through the curtain of rain like a god, breaking through the fragile line of skeletons archers behind him. He spun his greatsword and cut down the skeletons in his path like a whirlwind, closing in on Tina who was in the center of protection at an extremely fast speed.

Tina struggled to turn around, only to discover, to her surprise, that the man was the mayor of Winterwind.

Liang Lidong also smiled at this moment: "The Divine Nobles should fight against the enemy with the knights leading the way!"
