#436 - Chapter 170: The End of the White Walkers (Part 2)
Arya watched nervously from the side, knowing that her swordsmanship was not yet refined enough to fight the Night King. But she didn't want Brienne to face the danger alone, so she picked up the bow and arrow from the ground and aimed at the Night King's eyes.
“Whoosh—” The arrow shot towards the Night King's eyes, but it easily dodged it. Arya gritted her teeth and continued to shoot arrows to harass the enemy.
Brienne gradually fell into a disadvantage in the fight with the Night King, her sword constantly slashing against the Night King, sending ice shards flying. The Night King was not to be outdone, using its sharp claws to slash bloody marks on Brienne's body.
The Night King roared angrily and pounced on Brienne. Brienne was not afraid and engaged in close combat with the Night King. She thrust her sword at the Night King's eyes, but the Night King tilted its head, its outer ice armor as hard as iron, and the long sword could not penetrate it.
The Night King easily blocked Brienne's attack, then quickly grabbed Brienne's shoulder and slammed her to the ground. Then, it raised its foot, ready to crush Brienne's head.
At the critical moment, a golden figure flashed past like lightning. Jaime, holding a shield, fearlessly crashed into the Night King, successfully stopping its stomping motion. After saving Brienne, Jaime took the opportunity to swing his long sword, the blade slashing through the air and slashing hard at the Night King's leg. However, only a crisp impact sound was heard, ice shards splashed, but the ice armor on the Night King's leg left a slash mark, but did not hurt the main body.
The Night King roared in pain after being hit, angrily raised the ice crystal greatsword in his hand, and slashed down at Jaime with all his might. Jaime agilely dodged to the side while swinging his sword to counterattack.
“Clang~!” With a crisp sound, an arrow whizzed over and hit the Night King's face with unparalleled accuracy. This arrow came from Arya in the distance, who used her superb archery skills to bring an unexpected blow to the Night King. Immediately afterwards, “Swish swish swish swish~” a series of arrows shot towards the Night King like raindrops, each one accurately hitting the target. However, unfortunately, although these arrows hit the Night King, they could not penetrate its hard defense.
The Night King showed unimaginable power, far exceeding everyone's expectations. It not only possessed amazing brute strength, but also its tough skin made it almost invulnerable. The damage previously done to the ice armor was insignificant to it and could be repaired quickly. Faced with such a powerful enemy, everyone fell into an unprecedented predicament. Despite Jaime and Arya's constant attacks, the Night King remained unscathed.
At this moment, Brienne, who had been injured and lying on the ground, also stood up again and joined the battle. The three worked closely together and launched a fierce siege. Sword light flashed, ice slag splashed, and the collision between them and the Night King was extremely fierce, making people's heartstrings tense. The Night King seemed to be annoyed by Arya's bow and arrow harassment, and suddenly swung his greatsword, forcing everyone back. Then, it turned around and quickly pounced on Arya.
Jaime was shocked and his heart sank. He quickly swung his sword to block the Night King, but the Night King was extremely fast and powerful. It kicked Jaime in the abdomen, sending him flying and crashing heavily to the ground.
At the critical moment, Brienne stepped forward, holding her long sword, and rushed towards the Night King without hesitation, trying to stop it from approaching Arya. But the Night King's power was too strong, and Brienne's attack could not cause any damage to it. Instead, she was easily knocked away and fell to the side.
Arya took the opportunity to quickly draw out her longbow, nocked the last dragon crystal arrow, aimed at the Night King's eyes, and shot it out with force. The arrow hit the Night King's eyes, causing it pain and temporarily stopping its attack.
Seeing this, Jaime immediately rushed up, grabbed Brienne's clothes, and pulled her back.
Ignoring the “sizzling” smoking arrow wound on his left eye, the Night King forcefully pulled out the arrowhead, threw it away, and stared at Arya again.
Seeing the Night King attack again, Jaime threw Brienne away with all his strength, then pushed Arya, the Night King's target, away, and faced the enemy alone.
“You guys get out of here!” he shouted hoarsely, his voice revealing a trace of despair. At this moment, Jaime's heart was full of redemption. He knew that he must take responsibility and protect these two women.
“No! We won’t leave!” Arya shouted, her eyes flashing with a firm light. She clenched the weapon in her hand, ready to fight the Night King to the death.
“The Starks don’t have deserters!” Arya said through gritted teeth, “At worst, we’ll fight it!” She drew out the two short spears behind her and combined them to form a longer weapon, preparing to engage in a life-and-death battle with the Night King.
Jaime and the Night King engaged in a thrilling life-and-death contest. He brought his exquisite swordsmanship to the extreme, each sword carrying a fierce momentum and determination. Arya, on the other hand, skillfully used her spear to harass from the side. The combined spear in her hand was also made of precious Valyrian steel, which allowed them to form a tacit understanding and jointly besiege the powerful Night King.
After a period of fighting, Brienne, whose body had gradually recovered, also resolutely dragged Oathkeeper into this fierce battle group. Her courage and tenacity were admirable, but facing the Night King's powerful strength, the three still felt overwhelmed.
Despite their best efforts, the Night King still showed unparalleled strength and speed, and each attack was full of deadly threats. Jaime, as the main force, gradually became physically exhausted after a long period of fierce fighting, and the Night King once again seized the opportunity, waved his force, and slashed Brienne away. Then, he turned around and slashed at Jaime's shield again and again.
With the Night King's continuous heavy blows, the thick shield, along with Jaime's left prosthetic limb, shattered into pieces. Finally, Jaime was knocked to the ground by the huge force. The Night King raised his greatsword high and slashed mercilessly towards Jaime, as if to put an end to his life.
"Huff~! It's all over!" In this final moment, the face of Cersei appeared in Jaime's mind, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a hint of relief.
However, just as the Night King's greatsword was about to fall, a black figure rushed over like lightning and slammed into the Night King, causing him to stagger. The greatsword also brushed past Jaime's head and plunged deeply into the ground.
The person who came was Sandor Clegane. He had wanted to come to support earlier, but was blocked by a White Walker. After a fierce battle, Sandor finally defeated the enemy. However, before he could catch his breath, he saw Jaime in danger. So, he rushed forward without hesitation and stabbed the Night King's calf with the serrated sword in his hand with all his strength.
