Did my luck finally explode?
Cyan looked at the Tiger's Eye Ring set with a gem resembling a tiger's eye and handed it to Nishi.
"This ring is for you. I don't need it."
"Master, you're the best~!"
Nishi's eyes sparkled as she took the beautiful ring and immediately put it on. If the situation hadn't made it inappropriate, she would have already excitedly pounced on Cyan.
The three knights ahead all had grim expressions. She couldn't look too happy right now… she had to restrain herself.
[Survivor #11766, your servant Nishi's loyalty has increased by 5. Current loyalty: 100.]
"Want to eat?" Cyan cut a small piece of meat from the tiger's corpse and looked at the black widow spider peeking out from her collar fur.
"No… I want it cooked…"
The black widow spider sniffed the bloody smell of the raw meat and shook her head. After getting used to cooked food, she no longer wanted to eat anything raw.
"Mm."
Cyan tossed the piece of meat back onto the tiger's corpse — returning it to its original owner — then took out a small piece of jerky from her inventory and gave it to the black widow spider.
The black widow spider hugged the jerky with both hands, kissed Cyan's finger, then quickly burrowed back into the collar fur and disappeared.
Third Floor of the Castle
In the grand hall covered with red carpet, Arlon sat on his throne wearing heavy silver-white plate armor and a silver crown. He coldly stared at Arthur, Lancelot, and Percival. Slowly rising from his seat, he wore a spiked knuckle duster with six long spikes on his right hand and held a heavy spiked mace in his left. The mace was connected by a chain to a gauntlet on his wrist to prevent it from flying out of his hand during battle.
"You've finally arrived! I thought you were so afraid of my might that you tucked your tails and ran!"
"Arlon! Today is the day you die!"
Percival roared furiously. The thought of the people who had been mauled to death by the tigers made him want to tear Arlon apart with his bare hands.
"Is that so? Then let's see if you have the strength to back that up!"
Arlon leapt into the air, jumping four to five meters high. When he landed, his battle aura erupted outward in a violent shockwave. The soldiers and knights around him were instantly killed. The knight he landed on suffered an especially gruesome death — his upper body exploded under the impact, scattering organs and flesh across the floor.
Mages appeared around them, chanting spells and casting magic.
At the same time, soldiers and agile swordsmen who had been lying in wait behind the curtains charged out.
The survivors made the same decision — they attacked the troublesome mages.
The knights and soldiers charged toward the enemy troops.
Ripple Dash!
Golden lightning wrapped around Cyan's legs. Her already fast speed received a massive boost. She kicked off the ground and appeared in front of one of the mages. Just as he abandoned his spell and tried to run, a silver-white flash cut him cleanly in half.
Without pausing, Cyan rushed toward the next mage.
Extreme Speed! Ripple Dash!
Nishi activated Extreme Speed. A faint blue light glowed around her body. Then, adjusting her breathing, weak golden lightning appeared on her legs. Like an arrow released from a bow, she appeared in front of a mage in the blink of an eye.
The mage's eyes widened. All he saw was a flash of sharp blade light before the short blade pierced his neck. Pinkish smoke sprayed out. The mage's body began melting strangely after he collapsed, leaving behind neither bones nor a single drop of blood.
Such incredible speed! Is this girl really just a servant?
The 'knight' who had been fighting half-heartedly noticed Nishi's sudden burst of speed and felt a flash of shock.
It was worth noting that these medieval mages weren't physically weak — they had enough muscle to easily lift a knight in full armor. Even so, once the survivors got close and they didn't have time to use Blink to escape, death was the only thing waiting for them the next second.
Seeing the outsiders take action, Arthur, Lancelot, and Percival exchanged glances and charged at Arlon together.
"You will all die here!!!"
Arlon roared and swung his spiked mace. Percival blocked with his axe but was sent flying. He crashed to the ground, staggered back to his feet, wiped the blood from his mouth, and charged forward again with a furious roar.
Asuka gripped her lance with both hands and rushed toward a mage, smashing his head with a powerful swing.
Gaze of Fear!
Asama Ai stared at one of the mages, briefly trapping him in the nightmare created by his own subconscious. She then threw the swept-hilt rapier in her hand!
It pierced straight through the mage's skull.
I can do this if I try!
Asama Ai lowered her head, a excited smile appearing on her face. Her black hair covered most of her face. A swordsman leapt toward her from the side and thrust his swept-hilt rapier toward her back.
Suddenly, a strange, illusory figure appeared behind Asama Ai. Her skin was pale with no trace of blood, and her pitch-black eyes were as cold as an ancient glacier. Hidden beneath that icy surface was resentment toward everything in the world. She reached into the swordsman's body and clenched her fist.
Blood flowed from the swordsman's mouth.
(Guess who it is? No prize for guessing correctly.)
"Be careful. Don't die…"
A cold voice whispered beside Asama Ai's ear. Looking at the swordsman's corpse, Asama Ai's pupils shrank. She lowered her head and whispered, "Mm… I understand."
While the other survivors had each successfully killed one or more mages, Orlov ran into a small problem.
Because his Agility was low, when he reached out to grab a mage, the mage used Blink and appeared behind him.
This unfortunate muscular man was actually picked up and thrown by a mage who was much thinner than him.
Orlov awkwardly climbed back to his feet after hitting the ground. He punched the floor so hard it created a large crater, then charged at the mage like an enraged bull, red-eyed. He swung his fists and sent every enemy in his path flying. The throw hadn't hurt his body much, but the psychological damage was severe.
Orlov kept his eyes locked on the mage. When the mage tried to repeat the trick and appeared behind him again, Orlov turned around, grabbed him by the neck, lifted him up, and violently slammed him into the ground. A chilling sound of bones breaking echoed.
The mage was crushed beyond recognition by Orlov's palm. White bones pierced through flesh as blood flowed out.
"You threw me?! Keep throwing me then!"
Orlov grabbed the mage's corpse and hurled it toward Arlon.
"Bang!"
The body was smashed into pieces by Arlon's spiked mace. Blood stained his silver-white weapon, making it look especially savage.
Orlov let out a roar and charged at Arlon!
Arlon swung his right fist. The spiked knuckle duster pierced into Orlov's chest, leaving several bleeding holes.
Orlov howled in pain. He wrapped his arms around Arlon's waist, planted his feet, and pushed off. The ground cracked beneath him.
"Boom!"
Orlov lifted Arlon — who was over a meter taller than him — off the ground and jumped several meters into the air while holding him.
With a loud crash, Arlon's head slammed into the ceiling. Then Orlov drove his head into the floor.
"BOOM——!"
A massive impact shook the ground as it cracked and collapsed.
Orlov and Arlon fell through to the second floor of the castle.
This skill is…
Cyan suddenly remembered. The person who bought Outer Path: Brand Press from her after completing the first survival game was a muscular man. She hadn't expected to meet him here in the Round Table Knights world.
The skill Orlov used on Arlon was the powerful grabbing skill he had previously purchased from her.
