I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 334: Dark Knight's Suspicion, Full Counterattack

"Lord Night King, I doubt this guy is truly loyal to us." Just as Alpha was concentrating on cultivating his bloodline abilities, another dark knight captain, Trusgaia, looked at Alpha in the training room with suspicion.

Alpha is now in a closed secret room. Through strange dark magic, people outside can clearly see what is happening inside, but people inside know nothing about what is happening outside.

This one-way transparent design allows the observer to keep track of the every move of the person being monitored at any time, while Alpha is completely immersed in his own practice, as if nothing in the outside world can interfere with him.

Trusgaia is the most loyal and experienced Dark Knight Captain under the Night King, and there is a subtle worry in his eyes. He knows that in this world full of betrayal and conspiracy, any new member may become a potential threat.

Especially for a special purpose like Alpha, once its loyalty is questionable, it will be a huge hidden danger for the entire organization. Therefore, Trusgaia decided to report his doubts to the Night King.

"Why do you have such doubts?" The Night King's voice was deep and powerful, as if it could penetrate the deepest secrets of people's hearts. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, as if he wanted to see through everything.

"Your Excellency," Trusgaia replied respectfully, "Since this person joined, although he seems to obey us on the surface, I always feel that he has reservations. And..." Having said this, he paused, as if weighing whether the next words were appropriate to say.

"And what? Feel free to say it." The Night King's tone remained calm, but his eyes became sharper.

"My subordinates have discovered that the other party is hiding something. He is not a person who practices diligently, but he has achieved a complete state of practice here. This is not in line with common sense, and my sixth sense tells me that the other party must have a conspiracy." Trusgaia has almost no trust in Alpha. His intuition tells him that this person is not simple.

At this time, another dark knight named Luciferia interrupted and said, "My Lord Night King, that guy has been tested by the Spear of Darkness. His heart is dark. He cannot be the Heart of Light."

However, Trusgaia disagreed with this view. He loudly retorted: "The Spear of Darkness can only tell whether the other party's heart belongs to the light, but it cannot judge whether the other party is loyal to us."

Lucifaria continued, "We have not fulfilled the conditions we promised him. It is a miracle that he can be loyal to us." It turned out that they had promised to hand Athena over to Alpha, but they had obviously broken their promise.

After pondering for a moment, the Night King said, "Conduct the Dark Spear experiment on him again. I will supervise the whole process personally." He looked at Alpha's situation and seemed to find something wrong.

"Yes, Lord Night King." At this time, Trusgaia had already asked someone to bring the Spear of Darkness. It must have been prepared at this speed.

At this time, Alpha was also summoned out of the secret room. When he saw a group of prominent figures gathered outside, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat. Obviously, such a large-scale event indicated that this was not a good start.

"My Lord Night King." Alpha only bowed slightly to the Night King, and completely ignored the others. Although these bigwigs were much higher than him, Luciferia had deceived him, and Trusgaia was a stranger he had never met, so he felt there was no need to be overly humble or fearful.

"Why don't you salute when you see the Paladin of Trusgaia?" The Dark Knight next to him couldn't help but remind him when he saw this.

"You only came here a few years earlier than me. Give me some time and I will definitely surpass you." Alfa's tone was full of rebelliousness, which made everyone present frown.

After all, Alpha had just completed the attribute transformation and had no background support. In this situation, he dared to openly provoke Trusgaia and other knights, which was tantamount to seeking his own death.

"Okay, I'll wait for you. But come with us first." Trusgaia's attitude towards Alpha became extremely bad. He had made up his mind that if he found any flaws in Alpha later, he would kill him on the spot even if the Night King came out to stop him. So he took Alpha to the terrace of the castle, where the battle would have the least impact.

"Pick up the Spear of Darkness, we are going to test you on the spot." Trusgaia gave the order directly.

Alpha was shocked, because he had felt the good intentions of the Dark Spear before, and he had taken the initiative to give up the weapon at the critical moment. However, this time, in front of so many important people, Alpha knew that he could no longer take shortcuts.

"Okay." Alpha showed no problem and took the Dark Spear firmly. As his arm was gradually wrapped by the Dark Spear's energy, the final test officially began.

Alpha held his breath and concentrated, blocking out the aura of his soul. In the training room, he quietly felt his heart and body. Through this period of exploration and experimentation, he had clearly realized his current situation.

It turns out that the transformation done by the dark wizard Malcolm only changed the soul energy properties he carried with him when he traveled, but did not touch the essence of Alpha's soul. This means that despite a series of complex and dangerous experiments, the core of Alpha - his original soul - remains unchanged.

However, this does not mean that nothing has changed. In fact, it is precisely because of this death experience that Alpha's original complex energy attributes have changed. Now Alpha's dual soul only has the power of lightning and the power of light, and the power of lightning and the power of darkness. Although this lightning ability is relatively weak compared to the original light and dark attributes (accounting for only about 10% of the latter's total), it has brought Alpha new possibilities.

Now, whenever he needs to mobilize the energy in his body, in addition to being able to freely control the pure and flawless holy light and the deep and dark shadows, he can also summon thunder and lightning with powerful destructive power entangled in darkness and light.

However, it is worth noting that according to the current situation analysis, for a long time in the future, lightning will exist as an auxiliary nature, mainly serving to enhance or adjust the balance between the two main forces of light and darkness.

In other words, if you want to maximize the effectiveness of lightning, you must cleverly integrate it into the existing light-dark system, making it an indispensable bridge between the two.

Under Alpha's active control, the warm feeling from before did not appear. When the Dark Spear could not find what it wanted, it instantly flew away. This time, Alpha was completely rejected by the Dark Spear.

"It seems that this guy has completely fallen into darkness." Luciferia was also very confused when looking at the current situation. He didn't know whether he should pray that Alpha would be accepted by the Spear of Darkness or not. Acceptance means that Alpha yearns for light, and rejection means that Alpha sinks into darkness. So should he trust the other party with all the preparations before?

At this moment, a violent explosion occurred in the castle, and it seemed that something terrible had happened.

"That's the direction where Athena is imprisoned." Trusgaia heard the direction of the explosion and immediately realized that something was wrong. After all, all the big shots were here.

Just as Trusgaia and the Night King were about to rush over, a violent explosion occurred in another direction. That was the warehouse where Alpha was originally imprisoned.

"Interesting?" The Night King looked at Alpha, as if he knew Alpha's conspiracy. Because Athena was in strict custody, the only contact with Athena was Alpha's angry attack yesterday.

"I'll kill him." Trusgaia would never let Alpha go if he got the chance.

"Lucifalia, go and suppress Athena. Trusgaia, kill Alpha and then suppress the prison. The rest of you, follow me to the teleportation array." The Night King did not show any panic. After all, this was their territory, and everyone who wanted to go out had to pass through the teleportation array.

"Boy, I won't kill you easily this time." Trusgaia said coldly, his eyes full of mockery and cruelty. He wanted to torture Alpha slowly, let him collapse in endless pain, and finally die in despair.

"It's still uncertain who will kill whom?" Alpha responded without showing any weakness. His eyes were firm and sharp, as if they could penetrate all obstacles. He bent down and prepared to pick up the unattended Dark Spear on the ground. This weapon had almost no other effect on the Dark Knight except for its toughness, but for Alpha, it was his only hope.

However, when Alpha's hand touched the Spear of Darkness, a powerful force instantly surged into his body. Since he had been marked by the power of darkness, this force was like a sharp blade, piercing directly into his body, trying to destroy everything about him.

"Ah!" Alpha screamed in pain, but he did not give up. He knew that only by persisting could he find a chance to win. He took a deep breath and used all his strength to control the dark force. Gradually, the Spear of Darkness began to calm down, as if it felt the power deep in Alpha's heart - the Heart of Light. It finally found its target and stopped resisting, but became a sharp weapon in Alpha's hands.

"I didn't expect you to be able to control the Spear of Darkness," Trusgaia said in surprise, but his tone was still full of disdain, "But so what? The gap in our strength cannot be simply filled by a weapon."

Indeed, Alpha's current dark power is only at the level of a mid-level Silver Knight, while Trusgaia is a high-level Paladin. Between them, there are two huge gaps between the Gold Knight and the Diamond Knight. This is the source of Trusgaia's confidence, and it is also an obstacle he believes cannot be overcome.

The battle between the two started instantly, and the air was filled with tension. Alpha held the Spear of Darkness tightly, his eyes flashing with determination; while Trusgaia wielded the long sword in his hand, and every step was full of murderous intent. This battle was destined to be a fierce contest, and no matter what the result was, it would be an unforgettable experience.

In just a moment of fighting, Alpha realized that he was no match for his opponent. In just a blink of an eye, he was knocked hundreds of meters away and crashed directly into the ground outside the castle.

The huge impact force caused the ground to shake violently, and dust flew everywhere, just like a small earthquake. The smoke and dust splashed up to dozens of meters high, covering the sky and the sun, and for a moment, the vision was completely blocked.

Trusgaia smiled triumphantly and rushed towards Alpha. Although his body was severely injured, Alpha still climbed up tenaciously and tried to fight back with the Spear of Darkness. He aimed at the long sword in Trusgaia's hand, hoping to take this opportunity to turn the situation around.

However, when the two weapons collided, some strange changes seemed to occur in the air - the space began to distort, and the earth also felt this force and trembled. A powerful shock wave erupted from the impact point, instantly destroying all obstacles around, including trees, rocks and even parts of buildings were razed to the ground.

Faced with such a terrifying power gap, Alpha only lasted for 0.1 second before being knocked out again. This time, he was knocked deeper and farther, leaving a long gully on the ground, and it stopped only after it was hundreds of meters deep underground. With a dull sound, Alpha almost lost consciousness, and his life or death was uncertain.

At the same time, "Lord Trusgaia, it's bad! We were attacked from the direction of the prison, and the attacker is none other than Pope Jenossen!" A subordinate ran over breathlessly and reported, "For some reason, he has recovered his strength, and we are no match for him now." Upon hearing this news, Trusgaia's face suddenly became solemn. After all, for a figure like Jenossen, even he had to admit that he was powerful.

After taking a look at the battlefield that had become a ruin, Trusgaia decided not to continue fighting. "Leave ten dark knights to continue to deal with that guy (referring to Alpha), and the rest of you follow me back to the castle to prepare to meet the enemy." After saying this, he quickly turned around and left the scene, secretly thinking about how to deal with the upcoming new challenge.

"I didn't expect you're still alive." The Night King was in disbelief when he saw Pope Jenossen standing in front of him intact. They were both powerful men of the same era, and had fought on the battlefield countless times. They knew each other's strength very well. However, the Night King was shocked to see that Jenossen was not only not injured, but also full of energy.

"You are not dead, how can I die?" Jenoshen said lightly, with a hint of disdain in his tone. It turned out that he had just taken an energy potion given by Alpha. This potion can greatly improve the user's combat effectiveness in a short period of time, but the duration is limited, only about ten minutes. Despite this, Jenoshen's current strength has only reached the level of a paladin, which is still a big gap compared to the Night King.

However, Jenossen's expression was unusually calm, as if everything was under his control. After all, as a former pope, he couldn't be without any response plan. Even in the face of the powerful Night King, he would not easily show weakness or give up.

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from a distance, followed by a violent explosion. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Athena rushing out from another direction. Her appearance made the situation more complicated.

"Lady Athena!" Seeing this, Gilliana and Strong immediately ran over to try to protect her. But they soon realized that in the face of a battle of this level, two bronze knights like them could not intervene at all. They could only watch anxiously from the sidelines, hoping to find an opportunity to help their allies.

"So the two of you are using fighting spirit potions. Looks like that boy's work."
