1011 Living Armor Knights of the Round Table
The moment those living armor stood up from their chair, I noticed a few of the weapons those living armor were wielding. I am not too much of an expert in the legend of King Arthur nor am I too familiar with most of the weapons but I do recognize a few of them.
"I see now, these f*ckers are the imitation of the knights of the round table and these guys who are sitting in these chairs represent every single knight. They even wield the weapons those knights possess. That one has the Galatine on its hands, the other even has the Arondnight, and heck, isn't that looking like the Clarent that Almira usually uses occasionally?"
"Enough with the observations, wielder, deal with them. Based on how they move, they are the one-to-one recreations of those knights they are currently basing on," the shadow dragon is agitated and he releases a bit of power to the Devourer even without me asking for it.
Despite being living armor, they are like living humans. They act like a real warrior and they coordinate like real people. I have to be careful as they are in the middle of trying to flank me on the corner.
Then, one of the living armor, came close, charging with the blade in its hands, straight to me. Dodging to the side, I swing the hammer form of the Devourer to the incoming living armor but instead of hitting it, the living armor dodges it by sliding underneath my swing, missing him in just a few inches.
And before I can recover, the one who holds the Galatine is already up in the air with the Galatine currently ignited in flames as it tries to aim down on me. I can't dodge or the other living armor will attack so instead I immediately changed the Devourer's form from a hammer into a sword and quickly blocked it.
PENG!
The flames tried to overwhelm the Devourer and burn it in the process.
"Ha, look at this f*cker, thinks it can melt me. Wielder, show this guy how you can deal with this guy yourself!"
"Don't tell me twice!" I pull the Pain Delivery and shoot the guy with the Galatine. BANG BANG BANG!
Hitting the living armor with the gun causes pieces of its armor to fly. As a result, the living armor abandoned attacking me and instead scuffled to retrieve the armor that flew from the gunshot.
"The Pain Delivery can't pierce through its armor huh?" I glanced at my Pain Delivery before putting it back on my holster and changed the Devourer into Shield and Spear.
"[Shield Bash]!"
Slamming down the shield in the direction of the majority of the knights, I started to charge with a [Shield Bash] to bulldoze the knights and scatter them.
But before my plan comes to fruition, another one of the knights brings his shield and blocks my way, clashing with my [Shield Bash] in the process. It didn't take a few seconds before my attack was fully stopped.
"Wow, so all of the downsides that I would feel from the previous effects of these skills are now gone? That is good to know."
"Eh, wielder? What happened? Where are the enemies?" shadow dragon seemed to be shocked.
"Huh? You didn't know? You devoured all of them and are all now in your stomach."
"What? How? I didn't remember doing any of that?"
"After activating the effects of [Predator], you appeared and you started to devour them as I attacked them. You even destroyed them in the process but you wouldn't let go."
"Huh...I just blanked out? Wait, does that mean that was the reason I felt like something happened but I can't remember?" the shadow dragon is confused.
I was surprised. No wonder the Shadow Dragon was silent as it mindlessly devoured all of the Living Armor despite saying before that it hates eating those armor due to the taste.
"Well, it doesn't matter much now. Thanks to your help, all of the living armor that was supposed to be a big threat is now gone for good."
"Ugh...although I was not sure myself, I guess it was indeed much better to not care much. If I remember eating those living armor myself, I might start puking. I would rather not remember."
The two of us just let the matter of the shadow dragon blank out the moment I activated the [Predator] skill. Instead, we decided to focus on our next objective.
Returning to the round table, the Excalibur floats aimlessly into the air, giving off a bright light of shine that is so pure that I can even say that this weapon might be capable of wiping out the darkness in this world.
Aiming the Devourer into the Excalibur, the shadow dragon emerges.
"Are you not going to try and hold the weapon yourself? See if you are the rightful owner of the Excalibur now that King Arthur is dead?"
"Ha, no. I would rather not do that and instead, we should focus on finishing the task. Besides, I don't want to wield this sword and be associated with its legends."
With the help of the Relic that the Tojiro crafted for the Devourer, we successfully retrieved the Excalibur.
