Havel's Moving Castle

When Fingeri first saw Havel Warrior, Fingel sensed that the other was no ordinary person.

The reason was the heavy armor the other party was wearing.

In the Zane Dungeon, adventurers have seen a wide variety of armor, from the flashy and beautiful Caria Knight to the simple and unpretentious Solaire, and even the somewhat quirky Onion Knight.

But when it came to armor like the Havel Warrior's, Fingel thought for a long time and could only find one suitable word to describe it—

Strength.

Havel Armor possesses a beauty of strength!

Look, this entire suit of armor seems to have been taken directly from the stone and simply carved before being put on. It exudes a primitive and concise feel, making you feel that the person standing in front of you is not a person, but a smaller version of a rock giant!

Each piece of armor was at least Three Fingers thick, bulging like rugged rocks. The forging patterns had been worn away by time, leaving only the outlines faintly discernible. Just standing there, the Havel Warrior gave people the feeling that he was invulnerable to swords and spears.

If it were just armor made of ordinary rock, that would be one thing; any adventurer would have the power to shatter stone. But the key point is that the material of Havel Armor doesn't feel like simple rock to Fingel; it's something far more advanced, with a hardness far exceeding that of rocks.

The Greatshield and weapon, the Great Dragon Tooth, exude a pure sense of power.

Fingel looked at the Night and Flame Sword in his hand, then suddenly touched his pouch and breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, I brought Repair Light Powder with me, because I felt that my weapons would break very quickly if I were to fight Havel Warrior.

Fingel still had the idea of fighting Havel Warrior. When Serena saw this "walking castle", she wanted to run away immediately. Wearing such heavy armor, he probably wouldn't be able to catch up with us, right?

The moment this thought crossed his mind, the Havel Warrior strode toward Fingel at a normal pace, but the sheer weight of his armor made him feel as imposing as a mountain crashing down on him!

The Havel Warrior swung his weapon, a Great Dragon Tooth that had been broken off directly from the dragon's mouth. He used it as a weapon without much processing, simple and violent.

Seeing this thing hurtling towards him, even Fingel, who initially had some courage, chose to follow his heart and jumped back to avoid the attack.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, the Great Dragon Tooth smashed a crater in front of it. If the target had been a human, it would have been turned into a pile of mud by now.

This is the power of simple, unadorned numbers!

Fingel swallowed hard, pulled a Flame Pot from his pouch, and threw it over!

"Boom!"

Flames mixed with grease exploded on Havel Warrior's body, yet his running body didn't even sway, leaving Fingel with no choice but to fight back.

He tried switching to dual swords, and the moment the enemy's weapon came crashing down, he circled behind him and stood still, slashing fiercely at his opponent.

Sparks flew out, but the Havel Warrior's armor appeared to have only suffered minor bumps and knocks, with no obvious damage whatsoever.

Just as I guessed, this guy's armor wasn't made of ordinary rock.

Just then, Havel Warrior swung his Great Dragon Tooth and spun around in a giant windmill, forcing Fingel to leap backward to dodge.

However, the snake-man began to sway and jump at that moment, and the spirit of the Dragon Blood Knight instantly appeared behind Fingel. Even though the time was so short that it only had time to pop its head out at his feet, it still managed to trip him up.

Losing his balance instantly, the Great Dragon Tooth grazed his side. With just a slight graze, Fingel was propelled by an unprecedented force, spinning twice in the air before slamming into the wall.

"Pfft, cough cough cough"

A large amount of blood gushed from his mouth. Before he could even count his injuries, he quickly ate the Vitality Vine seeds cultivated by Aleya to heal his wounds. He then gulped down the Element Bottle, which allowed him to regain his mobility before Havel Warrior's next attack landed on him. He rolled to the side.

Another loud bang, and the spot where he had been standing was smashed into dust by the Great Dragon Tooth.

This power feels much stronger Hawkwood's; how could anyone possibly contend with it head-on!

The snake-man continued to summon the Dragon Blood Knight in the distance. Fingel immediately changed his target, dodging Havel Warrior's attack and running towards the snake-man.

Since these spirits were summoned by the snake-man, wouldn't it be enough for him to kill them here to make them disappear?

However, the snake-man seemed to have sensed his intentions, and even abandoned the half-summoned Dragon Blood Knight, running downstairs.

"Matilda, after them!"

He saw the snake-man who summoned these spirits running downstairs, and quickly shouted a warning to Matilda. She nodded, punched the Dragon Blood Knight away, and chased after the snake-man.

Fingel glanced at Matilda and Havel Warrior large men, and couldn't help but say:

"Should we switch opponents?"

The next second, Havel Warrior's weapon came crashing down again.

Meanwhile, the snake-man, with his familiarity with the entire map, had managed to slip past Matilda in a short time.

"Hurry up!"

When Fingel's shout came, he turned around and saw that he had been cornered by Havel Warrior and had no choice but to fight him.

However, upon closer inspection, he was completely unwilling to take any of the Great Dragon Tooth's attacks and could only try to dodge them.

His attacks hit Havel Warrior, and there was no sign of injury at all!

Matilda killed the snake-man before her captain was killed, throwing her Hell March spear, which pierced the snake-man solidly.

He then took a large stride and rushed in front of the snake-man, forcefully twisting its head off with his hands.

"It's solved!"

Matilda was about to turn around and give a thumbs up when she saw Fingel being mercilessly smashed to the ground by the Great Dragon Tooth.

The blood burst like a water-filled balloon, creating a very impactful scene.

A drop of blood even splattered onto Matilda's face.

"Why?"

Havel Warrior immediately charged towards Aleya, while Serena bravely stepped forward and unleashed the Chaotic Magic upon the enemy.

Then she was hit by a stick and sent flying backward like a broken sack.

It seems that not everyone can use magic.

Aleya unleashed all her attacks. The Softening Potion was effective, but only for a brief moment. She threw a bunch of spells at it, but apart from turning Havel Armor into a battle-hardened version, it had little effect!

Although we can't see what's inside the armor, Havel Warrior might also be injured, its appearance alone is enough to intimidate!

Aleya decisively chose to escape, using the same method as binding the Ancient Flying Dragon to block Havel Warrior.

The results seem acceptable, but how to fight it is still a problem; this thing is simply impossible to damage!

Seeing the Havel Warrior break free of the straw and rush towards her menacingly, even the usually calm Matilda couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Just then, Fingel's voice came.

"Run this way!"

Since the campfire was right next to the second-floor room, Fingel ran back as soon as he came back to life, carrying Serena on his shoulder.

He had figured it out: since they couldn't fight against heavily armored monsters like Havel Warrior head-on, they might as well run away.

If I can't afford to fight, can't I at least avoid it?

Aleya threw a few slime fruits at the enemy, and without even checking the results, jumped onto Matilda's shoulder, while the people ran towards the other exit.

Looking back, the Havel Warrior was covered in slime and struggling desperately. It was clear that once he broke free, he would come over and beat everyone up.

"Generally speaking, if the summoner dies, wouldn't the summoned creature disappear?" Serena was so shaken that she almost threw up.

"Is this a place that can be understood using common sense?"

Before they could exchange a few words, heavy footsteps came from behind them— Havel Warrior were charging in!

It's like a moving castle!

The group had no time to chat and relied on their slightly faster speed to maneuver around the enemy, while also looking for an opportunity to kill them using terrain.

The Archdragon Peak truly lives up to its reputation as a precipitous mountain, with dangerous cliffs everywhere and a large number of snake people hiding in every nook and cranny, waiting for an opportunity to ambush.

Fingel tried detonating the mountain road, diverting enemy attention, and playing hide-and-seek.

No matter which method they used, Havel Warrior relentlessly pursued them.

The sense of urgency prevented everyone from appreciating the scenery along the way, even though the view from the Archdragon Peak was quite nice.

At the same time, just as people were running onto a one-way street, Dragon Roar descended from the sky, accompanied by blazing flames.

They were attacked by a dragon that was slightly smaller than the Ancient Flying Dragon!

"So there really are other flying dragons!"

Fortunately, Aleya's magic power was still sufficient, instantly spawning a large number of fire-resistant plants. Combined with the protective shield formed by the Hell March and the magic shield released by Fingel, the triple protection perfectly resisted the dragon's breath.

The Havel Warrior behind them had no choice but to endure it.

Fingel turned his head and suddenly his eyes widened.

He saw Havel Warrior fall to the ground after being hit by the dragon's breath! This was the first time he had ever seen the enemy react after being attacked.

"We can use the dragons to take him down!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately set to work, intending to linger on this path and use the dragon's breath to kill Havel Warrior.

Unexpectedly, after spitting fire once, the dragon landed on the ground and attacked everyone with its sharp teeth and claws.

Suddenly remembering something, Fingel patted Serena on the shoulder and said, "It's time to bring out the bouquet you prepared for Ornstein!"

Serena suddenly realized what was going on and immediately took out the large bouquet made of Bewitching Branch and handed it to Fingel. The latter bravely faced the attack and stuck the Bewitching Branch into the dragon's body!

The large dose of Bewitching Branch finally took effect, and the dragons immediately engaged the Havel Warrior in a fierce battle, giving the people a brief respite.

"Just who is this guy? Is he also pursuing the Way of the Ancient Dragon?"

"If you're already this strong, what's the point of obtaining the power of a dragon?"

"Discussing this is pointless. Let's take advantage of his battle with the dragon and finish him off in one fell swoop. Although his armor is sturdy, his inner strength may not be as great. How about we try using penetrating magic or poison?"

As they were discussing this, they heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground from the side.

Turning his head, he saw the Great Dragon Tooth Fang in Havel Warrior's hand slam heavily onto the dragon's head, causing the dragon to fall to the ground and never get up again.

"."

Fingel looked at the Great Dragon Tooth dragon tooth, which was almost as big as a dragon's head, and suddenly realized that the Havel Warrior could not have obtained such a thing by digging it out of some wreckage.

Maybe he actually hunted a dragon himself and got it!

"This place isn't suitable for fighting, let's find another spot!"

With that, Fingel stood up and ran, and the others followed.

Suddenly, a towering mountain appeared ahead, connected to the top by ladders. He had a sudden idea: why don't we all climb up and cut the ropes to throw the Havel Warrior to their deaths when they're halfway up!

Upon realizing this, everyone immediately put it into action.

Fingel was the first to reach the top. He was urging everyone to climb up when he suddenly noticed something out of the corner of his eye.

At the summit of the mountain, there was no way to continue; it was a dead end.

And atop this mountaintop, a flying dragon lay quietly!

Fingel's eyelids started twitching, but upon closer inspection, he realized that the dragon wasn't asleep, but lying dead on the ground, with multiple marks on its body from being struck by tremendous force!

Oh, it was dead. That puts my mind at ease.

But those scars look kind of familiar.

Footsteps sounded, and a figure that made his eyelids twitch wildly emerged from behind Feilong.

Another Havel Warrior!
