Chapter 939: Rare Disloyal Knight
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Han Sen was taken aback . For now, it was lucky that the Disloyal Knight had not left the tree .
"You're nowhere near done; there's no way you're coming down from there . " Han Sen looked at the Disloyal Knight and felt a little safer .
Han Sen, clutching the dagger in his hand, turned around and attacked one of the Loyal Knights that were advancing .
The Dragon-Blood Snakes took one knight each, and Little Wind engaged one, too .
The Loyal Knights were almost as strong as the Dragon-Blood Snakes, and only the one with three halos had a noticeable advantage in strength . Fortunately for all involved, it was the Dragon-Blood Snake with six active gene locks that chose to engage that knight . The skittering-slithering fiend was quick on its feet, and it leapt at the armored nemesis to scratch it and draw blood .
Little Wind fought against a knight that had only one gene lock open, and thus had only one halo . His fitness was pretty low, all things considered, but he had four gene locks open . The wind attacks the furry fighter employed ravaged the defenses of his enemy .
Han Sen used his sacred-blood armor and dagger to engage his target, and he was doing well in the fight . He suffered a few hits, but the armor was strong enough to keep him protected .
Katcha!
The Dragon-Blood Snake, with six open gene locks, found an opening to dig its teeth into the neck of the Loyal Knight it had engaged . The vicious teeth sunk into the neck with ease, and it tore the entire head off the knight's shoulders in a gruesome display . Before the head could hit the ground, though, the snake spun around and swallowed it .
"Sacred-Blood Creature Loyal Knight killed . No beast soul gained . The flesh is inedible . "
"Wow, these things are pretty weak . It looks like the Disloyal Knight really has been hogging all the energy . " Han Sen was overjoyed, thinking he could still one day claim it .
And the fact that they were weak was good, as he wouldn't have to exhaust himself in the battle, despite the lack of meat he would receive . With that being said, though, he wouldn't mind getting one of the beast souls . A sacred-blood beast soul was, after all, a sacred-blood beast soul .
Roar! The Dragon-Blood Snake leapt towards another knight .
Against the Dragon-Blood Snake with six gene locks open, the other knights on the field didn't stand a snowflake's chance in h*ll .
The heads of four Loyal Knights were quickly severed and gobbled up by the snake . As impressive as this was, Han Sen was disheartened by the lack of beast souls he received .
The other two Loyal Knights were still doing combat . With the situation under control, Han Sen decided to turn around and look at the Disloyal Knight to see if anything had changed . Eerily, it was still there, staring back at him .
But with the Disloyal Knight being unable to move, Han Sen was not afraid . The snake finished off the other Loyal Knights, but still, he received no beast soul .
"Today's luck is far too poor . " Han Sen commanded the snake to get back to work, excavating the tree for transport .
Three snakes dug the earth around the tree, while the strongest went to biting through the roots .
All of a sudden, the Disloyal Knight began to scream in agony with a shrill, inhuman voice . It was still connected to the tree, though, and Han Sen was confident that it couldn't dislodge itself .
"Stop screaming, you big baby! I'm only moving the tree; I'm not killing you," Han Sen said to the knight .
The Disloyal Knight seemed to hear what was spoken to him, and it looked down on Han Sen with murder in its eyes .
"Hurry up, snakey boys . Dig faster!" Han Sen rushed the snakes, just in-case something unfortunate was about to happen .
An unnerving feeling had managed to latch itself onto the back of Han Sen's mind, and slowly the feelings of concern for ill happenings simmered . It brought him discomfort, and he thought something foul would soon happen . Moment Queen had told him that the knight would obey the first person it looked on . It had indeed seen Han Sen, but still, it looked rather hostile .
"Perhaps I should ask Moment Queen about this; she might be able to shed some light on the issue . " Much to her chagrin, Moment Queen was summoned back .
"Can't you leave me alone for a minute? I'm trying to earn geno points! What do you want?" Moment Queen sounded a little moody .
"What you said was incorrect . You have some explaining to do . " Han Sen then proceeded to tell her what had occurred in her absence .
Moment Queen eyed the dead bodies that littered the site and said with genuine surprise, "Wow, that is weird . It looks like what I hypothesized was reversed . The Disloyal Knight was not affected by the Loyal Knights, but it was the Loyal Knights that were affected by the overbearing force of the Disloyal Knight . I think it made them . . . disloyal . "
"Does that mean I won't be able to tame it?" Han Sen asked, quickly gesturing for the snakes to stop digging .
"I suppose," Moment Queen said .
"Are you positive? There is no other way I can get that knight to follow my commands? The emperor must have had a way, surely," Han Sen said .
"Yes, but it doesn't work for ordinary people," Moment Queen said .
"How do you know that?" Han Sen asked, looking at the Disloyal Knight .
"Easy; it requires domination . If you could dominate the Disloyal Knight, prove to it that you are the alpha and that you are unequivocally superior to the Disloyal Knight in strength, it wouldn't betray you . It would follow you . But do bear in mind that this thing, once matured, might actually end up being a super creature . Toppling a foe such as that would be no small feat," Moment Queen explained .
"And there is no other way besides that?" Han Sen asked with a frown .
"If there is, I have not heard of it . This Disloyal Knight infected the entire tree, though; so don't do anything reckless . Sometimes it's best to just cut your losses and quit while you're ahead . " Just as Moment Queen finished her speech, a roar sounded . Following that, the noise of breaking wood came from high up in the tree . The Disloyal Knight had broken its tie to the tree .
It looked as cold as ice, as the back of its copper armor was stained with blood . It looked broken there, also, as if it had not finished growing .
