Runelight: Paladin of Asgard - Chapter 611

[Five hundred and ninety-two [Elevator War]]

The masked man fled to the distance, and was about to climb over the roof and disappear.

Steve immediately summoned the Holy Light Warhorse, a dazzling light flashed, and a half-real, half-real golden steed jumped up to carry him, passing a bright trajectory in the night sky.

Riding the holy spirit horse, Steve crossed a distance of tens of meters in an instant, and easily caught up with the masked man.

Fist of sanctions!

For most paladins, the power of attack spells is completely different whether they have weapons in their hands or not.

But Steve is a special case. His flawless heroic character has given him an extraordinary affinity and control over the Light, so the impact of weapons is much smaller.

The fist as big as a sandbag shone with holy light, and it hit the masked man’s back with one blow!

Bolstered by the speed of the holy spirit war horse, this gleaming punch directly sent the masked man flying, and spit out blood, which overflowed from the gap in the mask.

The masked man fell unconscious on the ground.

Steve stepped forward, leaned over to take off his mask, and then froze, eyes full of disbelief.

“Bucky!”

Under the mask, there was a face he was all too familiar with, Bucky Barnes, a close comrade-in-arms he met during World War II.

Seventy years ago, the two fought side by side on the European battlefield against Nazi Germany.

When Bucky fell from the train on the snow-capped mountain, Steve thought he would never see him again in this lifetime. Unexpectedly, after seventy years, the two met again in such a scene.

Steve still couldn’t believe it.

Although the appearance of this masked man is exactly the same as Bucky in his memory, he doesn’t seem to know him at all, and his appearance has not changed from seventy years ago. Could it be that he has been frozen for more than sixty years?

Or maybe just a lookalike?

But the similarity is too high.

Steve looked at a scar behind the masked man’s ear, the birth of which he had seen firsthand.

Steve frowned, and then made a decision.

This masked man should be Bucky, but the current Bucky is obviously not in a normal state, and seems to be brainwashed and controlled by someone.

As a matter of urgency, he should send Bucky to a safe enough place.

According to Fury, S.H.I.E.L.D. has fallen.

He didn’t know about a safe enough place outside of S.H.I.E.L.D. a few months ago, but after becoming a paladin, he knew the existence of such a place.

Steve returns to the room with an unconscious Bucky.

“Fry, come with me, I’ll take you to a place.”

“Where are you going? No place is safe now, even the S.H.I.E.L.D. has been controlled,” Fury said.

Steve didn’t say any more, took Fury and set off. After a while, he came to a hidden street corner in New York. A bookstore was still open late at night, although there were no customers.

“Welcome, knight, are they your friends?” The store manager is an ordinary-looking white-haired old man, but in fact he is an old paladin, and this bookstore is also owned by the Silver Hand. A secular stronghold, the holy light is the identity proof of the knights needless to say.

“Yes, we need help right now,” Steve said. “Anyone going to repent?”

“Repentance?” The old knight frowned slightly, then realized something, and looked at Bucky who was in a coma, “Has his mind been controlled?”

Steve nods.

The old knight said: “Repentance is a very profound spell, and there are not many knights who master it… But it just so happens that there is such a knight in New York.”

“Dufrene?” Steve asked.

The old knight smiled and said, “Of course.”

Dufresne is the most respected human paladin. He is the founder of the Golden Hand. All the secular institutions of the knight order are managed by him. At the same time, he is also a powerful old knight.

Highly respected within the Order.

“Duvran? The Golden Hand?” Fury said.

“You know the Golden Hand?”

Nick Fury smiled: “Of course, I am the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and the Golden Hand gave me a car back then.”

The store manager said: “It’s very late now. If we’re not in a hurry, we can go to Dufresne Knight tomorrow. You can rest here for the night first.”

“Okay.” Steve thought for a moment and nodded.

The next morning, they were about to take Bucky to find Knight Dufresne, but Steve’s phone rang suddenly.

“It’s S.H.I.E.L.D.’s call.”

Steve answered the phone, and Alexander Pierce’s voice came from his ear: “Captain, I heard that you have returned.”

“Yes, Mr. Pierce.”

“Very good, I’m the person in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D. now. Since you’re back, come to S.H.I.E.L.D. as soon as possible.” Hearing Pierce’s voice, Nick Fury couldn’t help clenching his fists.

Steve hesitated for a moment, then responded, “Okay, I’ll go right away.”

After he hung up the phone, Nick Fury said quickly: “Why did you agree to him? SHIELD is very dangerous now.”

“Maybe,” Steve said quietly, “but I have to find out.”

“You take Bucky to see Knight Dufresne, and I’ll go to S.H.I.E.L.D.”

After speaking, Steve put his shield on his back and went straight to the headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Meanwhile, S.H.I.E.L.D.

“The Winter Soldier is out of touch, Steve must have done it, he’s coming now, what should we do?” Crossbones Brock Rumlow said.

“Maybe we should talk to him first.” Alexander Pierce mused.

“Do you think it’s possible for us to persuade Steve Rogers to surrender?” Crossbones said, “Don’t forget who the Winter Soldier used to be. Steve must have seen his true colors.”

“What do you think should be done?” Pierce asked.

“Catch him, or kill him!” Crossbones clenched his fists.

A good fighter even among the secret agents, he prefers to solve problems with his fists.

“Steve Rogers is here!”

“Why so fast, did he fly here?”

Pierce immediately ordered: “Rumlow, you lead someone there immediately and catch Steve Rogers. If you really can’t catch him, you can kill him on the spot.”

“Don’t worry, I will capture him alive!” Crossbones smiled confidently, then turned and left.

After two minutes.

Steve entered the elevator with the shield on his back, pressed the floor number and waited silently.

Although his shield has become the Dragonman’s Shield, the pattern is still the same, red and blue are intertwined, with a five-pointed star drawn in the middle, as if taken from the Stars and Stripes, which makes his image look unchanged from the past.

After a while, the elevator door opened halfway, Crossbones came in with a group of agents, and greeted casually: “Ah, long time no see, Captain.”

“Long time no see, Rumlow.” Steve responded.

However, he was keenly aware of something.

Watching the agents swarming into the elevator, Steve understood that a battle was inevitable…
