Seeing that Kazuma Sato and Megumin were still in a daze, Roya paused and shouted to the two behind him, "You two, hurry up and catch up. Are you planning to make me carry you too?"
Chapter 315 The Headless Horseman's Expedition
Darkness, who had been following Roya, paused, a look of struggle on her face.
Darkness hesitated for a moment, then said to Roya, "Um, could you carry me?"
Without a word, Roya switched from holding Aqua with his right hand to his left, and used his free right hand to grab Darkness's armor. With a little force, Roya easily lifted this combination of muscles and armor.
Darkness had only said it casually, but when Roya actually carried her away like that, her cheeks flushed red.
Roya expressed disdain for Darkness's inexplicable sense of shame, as Darkness was clearly the kind of person who was pretentious and affected.
Even though she wants it, she still puts on a coy and shy act.
If he hadn't been holding Aqua in his left hand, he would have definitely slapped Darkness's bottom.
Roya said indifferently, "What, didn't the Holy Knight say he wanted me to carry you? Aren't I carrying you right now?"
"Ah, ah, it's just that I feel a little embarrassed with everyone watching."
Roya chuckled coldly. The young man was straightforward and directly saw through Darkness's thoughts, saying, "Isn't this what you wanted?"
Darkness was rendered speechless by Roya's words. The paladin opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to defend himself, but found himself unable to utter a single word.
Because that's really what she thought.
When the group arrived at the city wall, they found that everyone had already gathered there. The adventurers, swords in hand, were all looking solemnly at the front.
Luo Ya pushed through the crowd, glanced ahead, and then released the two men.
The two of them fell to the ground quite easily. Aqua seemed to have landed on her bottom, and after a slight fall, she let out a small cry of pain.
Aqua got up from the ground as if nothing had happened. She looked around and casually said, "Are we here? Are we here? Let me see which idiot disturbed the goddess's meal. I'll purify it."
Soon, Aqua's gaze settled on the figure standing on the hill.
It was a knight, a knight without a head; to be precise, the head was on his right hand.
The headless horseman's entire body was encased in armor, exuding a sinister and deathly aura. Two flames of soul flickered in the skull eyes encased in the helmet.
The headless knight rode a tall skeletal warhorse, which was burning with eerie ghostly flames. Not only the headless knight, but even his mount gave people a sinister and terrifying feeling.
The headless knight looked at the crowd, his black greatsword held horizontally in his left hand, the three-meter-long sword resting on his shoulder. The soul fire in the headless knight's eye sockets flickered as he looked at the crowd.
"Hehehe, I am one of the seven executives of the Demon King's army. My name is Beldia. I have come here for no other reason than to warn you lowly adventurers."
The headless knight was extremely arrogant. After all, as one of the seven demon kings' executives, although his strength might not be that great, no one in the town could possibly be his match.
"What should we do, Pamela? What are the Demon King's military officers doing here?"
Darkness appeared beside Roya at some point, grabbed his shoulder, and shook him.
Darkness looked a little nervous.
But thinking about it, it makes sense; it was indeed unexpected for a Demon King's army officer to suddenly appear in the beginner village.
After all, a guy like that is the kind of leader who leads an army to attack the capital.
Luo Ya slapped away the other person's groping hand and said with a stern face, "Don't make a sound, I'm thinking."
Honestly, even if the headless knight came over, Roya didn't think the other party would show up so quickly. After all, Roya didn't have Huihui go to the fortress to release explosion magic every day like in the original story. She was just simply leading a four-person team to fight monsters.
Even so, the Headless Horseman still appeared, and even earlier than in the original story.
It did make Roya feel a little strange.
The headless horseman took in everyone's expressions, the soul fire in his eye sockets flickering. He slammed the greatsword on his shoulder heavily onto the ground, the sword easily piercing the earth with a dull thud.
The expressions on those people's faces were mostly a mixture of panic and fear. The headless knight felt quite pleased with the awe in their eyes.
That's right, that's correct.
This is the feeling, this is the feeling, everything is back.
What capital city? What young punk? Here, he is the god. He can easily crush these ants.
However, just as he was immersed in this pleasant feeling, he suddenly noticed that a group of adventurers were looking at him with a very strange gaze.
"Ok?"
The headless horseman looked in that direction, towards the five people in the very center of the city gate.
Luo Ya remained expressionless, looking over with a calm demeanor.
Aqua picked her nose, looking incredibly smug. Noticing the headless rider's gaze, Aqua even made a friendly gesture. If Kazuma hadn't been holding her back, Aqua would have run over and attacked him face-to-face.
Darkness's face flushed, her cheeks rosy, and she had a dreamy expression, her eyes shining as she stared intently at the headless knight.
That look in their eyes, the kind that seemed to regard some rare treasure, made this Demon King's military officer feel quite uncomfortable.
The headless knight instinctively gripped his greatsword tighter. He felt that this group of people was very strange, giving him a creepy feeling.
But how could that be? He's just an adventurer from a remote area, a mere ant. How could he possibly back down?
Thinking of this, the headless knight rode his spirit steed a few steps forward, spreading necromantic energy. The headless knight believed that he could not lose in terms of momentum. He came to Darkness, who he found the strangest, and slammed his greatsword on the ground with a dull thud.
I must say, the headless horseman's actions were quite skillful; the sense of oppression was truly genuine.
Coupled with that sinister and terrifying armor, most adventurers probably wouldn't even have the will to resist.
The headless knight pointed at Darkness and said indifferently, "You, come out here."
“Me?” Darkness was slightly taken aback. She looked around and found that all the adventurers around her, except for her teammates, had retreated far away.
Looking in the direction the other person was pointing, I saw that I was the only person there.
"Yes, it's you." The headless knight's chilling voice rang out.
Darkness's body stiffened instinctively, then she trembled all over, seemingly walking forward with some fear, but in reality, it was probably due to being too happy.
Chapter 316 The Perverted Knight
Darkness's breathing became rapid, and her face flushed even more. Without the slightest hesitation, she strode toward the location of the headless horseman.
The headless knight was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting the other party to react so decisively.
He cackled, raised his longsword high, and his undead warhorse leaped forward, instantly appearing in front of Darkness. The three-meter-long greatsword was easily lifted; the greatsword was larger than Darkness herself. With a whistling sound, the greatsword fell instantly.
A thick aura of death enveloped the greatsword. Sato Kazuma, standing beside him, twitched at the sight. Ultimately, he was still a boy and couldn't bear to see Darkness die so tragically before his eyes.
However, the raging sword only fell on Darkness's neck and did not fall again.
The knight was tall and imposing, his black armor gleaming in the sunlight. The headless knight grinned, his cold voice rang out: "Why don't you move aside?"
Darkness felt her heart skip a beat; the overwhelming sense of death made her feel like she had reached her peak once again.
A strange emotion welled up inside her. She couldn't describe the feeling, but she felt really good.
Darkness gritted her teeth, trying to keep her expression calm, but her rapid breathing and increasingly flushed cheeks betrayed her.
Darkness gritted her teeth and said to the headless knight, who stood tall and proud, "Because I'm not afraid."
The headless horseman was silent for a moment, then continued, "Why aren't you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid."
The headless knight's left hand, gripping the greatsword, trembled slightly. The sword instantly fell beside Darkness, and the powerful slash shattered the ground around her. The sword plunged a meter deep into the ground, with nearly a third of its blade embedded in the soil.
The headless horseman fell into deep thought at that moment.
He activated his memory mode, and the skull on his right hand began to gaze at the sky at a 30-degree angle. He didn't speak; at this moment, the headless knight was gathering his emotions, preparing to recount his past.
However, the headless knight remained silent, but Darkness impatiently asked, "What's wrong? Why aren't you attacking? Do you think it's too wasteful to kill me suddenly, and are you planning to play with my body before killing me?"
Darkness's words abruptly interrupted the headless knight's memories. The knight paused, then turned the head he was holding in his left hand to the left, looking at the girl in front of him.
At this moment, Darkness had become like a lovesick woman, breathing rapidly.
The headless horseman sensed something was wrong, but still spoke up to explain, "I was once a knight myself, an upright knight. Because we were both knights, I greatly admire your fearless spirit."
Darkness interrupted the headless knight, her face contorted with excitement, "Is it because my unyielding attitude moved you? Are you prepared to ravage me, trample on my dignity and body, and submit to me? Let me tell you, that's impossible!"
After saying that, Darkness ran excitedly toward the headless knight.
The headless knight was dumbfounded, Kazuma Sato was also slightly taken aback, Roya's lips twitched, Aqua picked her nose and chuckled coldly, and Megumin wiped away her tears, seemingly really believing Darkness's nonsense.
Before Darkness could reach him, the knight's warhorse reared up on its forelegs and then stomped forward.
Darkness was thrown to the ground by the immense force, and her armor was slightly damaged by the powerful trampling of the horse's hoof.
Darkness was a very voluptuous woman, though her figure was usually concealed by her armor. But once she took off her armor, it was enough to make all the male adventurers in the town's eyes light up.
Although doing so would make the surrounding adventurers seem lecherous, everyone's eyes were still drawn to Darkness's chest.
Then came a chorus of gasps from the crowd.
The girls blushed and kicked each of their teammates, or simply stepped forward and glared at them angrily.
In an instant, Darkness completely changed the mood.
Luo Ya put his hand to his forehead, no longer wanting to see the woman's wanton side.
The headless knight was distracted by Darkness's words and didn't react in time. By the time he came to his senses, his warhorse had already kicked Darkness away. Without hesitation, the headless knight coldly declared, "Announcing your death! You will die in a week!"
