"Can you turn around and run?"
Colin read the prompt instantly and couldn't help but feel awe for the leader of the expedition before him.
This "Aemeis" blocks everyone who tries to attack the Holy King.
It's not to protect him, but to persuade him to retreat. If even a loser like him cannot be defeated, then entering the temple would be an act of seeking death.
At this moment, "Aemilian" was less than a hundred meters away from them. At this distance, an ordinary mutant would have launched an attack long ago.
However, Aemilian, who was less than a hundred meters away from them, just stared at them without launching an attack.
Colin knew that as long as he took a step forward or made any offensive move, the battle would begin.
"To be honest, I haven't tried a close combat since I was promoted."
Colin looked at the monster with a smile on his face, took out the "Knight's Shield of Justice" with his left hand, and with his right hand, he pulled out a huge lightsaber similar to the "Evil Blade" from the light floating around him.
Of course, compared to the giant sword in the opponent's hand, this huge thing is just like the difference between a dagger and a broadsword.
But this is not important. What is important is that as soon as he took action, "Aimeleus" no longer hesitated, swung the giant sword on his shoulder, and swung it hard towards Colin.
The deformed corpse, which was skewered on the giant sword and was about the same size as a chariot, smashed over like a huge rock.
Colin did not retreat or dodge. He grasped the hilt of the lightsaber with both hands and swung it hard, splitting the corpse in half.
At this moment, both parties were pulled into an invisible duel arena at the same time.
"Huh? You're not attacking anymore?"
Colin looked at the other party in surprise. Normally, even if a lord deformed being was dragged into the "duel field", he would not care about the treaty but would attack forcefully.
But this one didn't do that...
“I feel like there’s still a lot of instinct left.”
Colin's thoughts flashed across his mind, and he did not delay. He raised his hand and set the rules.
"I promise that in this battle, I will give up using metal as protective gear, so my opponent will not be able to use metal protective gear either."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of a whip hitting flesh came from the front.
The invisible tentacles seemed to ignore the armor outside the body and directly attacked the main body.
But this kind of attack is like tickling the opponent and does not pose any threat. At least the punishment level needs to be raised by several levels.
However, just when the first promise was fulfilled, "Aemeis" launched an attack and no longer gave Colin a chance to speak.
[You realize that he seems to have figured out the rules of this item and no longer intends to give you the opportunity to make a declaration.]
"So smart?"
Colin was surprised. If all three promises were violated, the punishment would be compounded to an extremely severe level.
Directly breaking the rules may result in severe punishment, but it is still within the tolerable range for the other party.
After all, this is an extremely powerful lord-level aberration, and it has the confidence to withstand punishment.
A wave of creepy heat came over him, and Colin's right hand "transformed into light". He slapped it horizontally and hit the giant sword that was coming straight at him, causing its attack to deflect.
