Gou Dan was the first to notice the anomaly as the knights charged towards the village.
"No, my Crippling Shot failed, they're not humans!" He warned the others.
"Who learned Identify? Hurry up and use it!" Edward quickly ordered, only to be met with innocent looks from the Players. "What the hell, didn't any of you learn it?!"
"We used to team up with Mister Marni and Mister Ivan, and their Identify skills are really good …" Gou Dan said quietly. "With them around, who would waste their skill points to learn that …"
Indeed, aside from people like Marni who were experienced and knowledgeable, most natives of this world who were fed up with being weak and powerless would definitely find power more useful than logistics skills, and they would just charge ahead if they ran into anything …
"Eleena, can you use the Sacred Barrier?" Edward asked the little girl.
"It's still on cooldown."
Eleena shook her head, her silver ponytails swaying with her movements, making her look extremely adorable.
"So the cooldown time is longer when the power increases … I wonder if they're immune to taunts. Is Joe awake?" Edward asked Gou Dan, who was beside him, helplessly resorting to Plan B.
"Coming, coming. I don't know why I had two holes in my waist when I woke up, and it took me quite some time to drink potions to recover my HP." Before Gou Dan could reply, the fully-equipped Joe ran up to them from behind. "My granny told me that I can bleed my head, but I can't lose my waist!"
"Wait, didn't the dry-skinned die just now?"
Croakatoa's eyes that were much larger than a human's widened as it stared blankly at the resurrected Joe.
"Don't panic, haven't you heard of Momentary Lucidity?" Vela said with a straight face. "He's just Momentary Lucidity!"
"Are all dry-skinned's Momentary Lucidity that powerful?"
Croakatoa studied the lively Joe, its frog-like face filled with a 'don't lie to me because I'm not well-educated' expression.
"Everyone is like that." Vela insisted. "Don't worry, he'll be dead soon!"
"Humans are so scary …" Croakatoa, who could not tell the truth from the lies could only sigh. "But when I think about how such a brave warrior sacrificed himself because of a little misunderstanding, I feel for him from the bottom of my heart …"
Before Croakatoa could finish, Charle noticed Croakatoa's gaze, and gave it the middle finger with a bright smile.
Croakatoa:???
"How much longer do you guys want to talk?" jESSICA asked nervously. "Those guys are coming!"
The line of defense that the frogmen had hastily pulled up could not stop the enemy's charge at all, and was broken in an instant.
Even the Conch House that was blocking the enemy's charge was crushed into countless shards with crisp noises.
"Get out of the way, let me do it!"
Charle stabbed his greatsword into the ground and made a provocative gesture towards the black knight. "Hey, bastard!"
The black-armored knights had a single eye glowing red between the eye slits of their helmets. At this moment, following Charle's mockery, they turned to look at him.
Then, the black knight's charge curved slightly as he charged towards Charle.
"Ouch, they really are taunted …" Just as Charle finished, he was sent flying by the black knight before he could even summon his familiar spirit.
His entire body twisted into a ball of strangely beautiful fried dough twist in midair, then fell heavily on the ground with a 'splat' sound that sounded like a dirty rag that was soaked in dirty water falling on the ground.
But he didn't die.
"Holy shit, that scared me to death …"
Charle crawled up, trembling as if he had Parkinson's disease.
His armor was full of cracks from the impact, and even without looking at his equipment panel, he knew that the durability of the armor that had been with him for the longest time had reached zero, and he wouldn't be able to repair it even if he went to the blacksmith's shop in the novice town.
"I'm a little pissed … Edward, there's five of them, how about we each take one apart from Vela?" Charle said unhappily as he caressed his armor, a little distressed.
"I'll agree if you can split them up."
Edward could also see that even though the black knights looked intimidating and were around level 20, they didn't seem to have any supernatural powers.
That's right, according to the system, if they were hit by any supernatural attack with magic, elemental, divine arts, or even curses, then the players would receive additional attribute damage in addition to physical damage.
For most players, attribute damage was quite fatal because their attribute resistances weren't high, and they didn't have any special resistance equipment in the early stages of the game.
On the other hand, many attacks that looked powerful at first glance, such as the black knights' charge, were just basic physical attacks. To put it bluntly, apart from the way they attacked, it was no different from a normal slash to the players. They could completely rely on their equipment and attributes to withstand it, and after various mitigations and adjustments, the damage they received wasn't that high.
Therefore, the black knights that the frogmen thought were unstoppable were at most elite monsters compared to bosses like the Rotten Bones Archbishop.
"No problem, I have a plan …"
Charle glanced at the black knights that had begun to slow down and was about to charge at them again.
He moved closer to Edward, and was about to tell him about the brilliant and logical plan he had painstakingly come up with that could fill the book with around five thousand words when a shout pierced through the air.
"Sacred Barrier of Light!"
Eleena, who had been slacking off to retrieve her Shooting Star — I mean the Game Bible, picked up the thick tome and threw it once more like a hammer throw.
The next instant, a sky-blue wall of light appeared in front of the black knights that had just regained its speed.
The black knights couldn't stop in time and crashed into the Sacred Barrier of Light, and with a dull thud, they and their mounts were completely turned into black luncheon meat cans …
The Black Armored Knights, who were so mighty just a moment ago, were instantly wiped out in the next second. The poor frogmen's brains couldn't process what had just happened, and they all looked dumbfounded.
Charle, on the other hand, looked like he was disappointed that his kill had been stolen.
Eggface stood on his tiptoes and patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't be disappointed, it's time to take care of the main culprit." Edward said from the side.
"Main culprit?" Vela, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, felt her heart skip a beat again.
