Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 522 47. Dracula's Grave

Facts have proved that when a master tells you that something is very simple and easy to learn, and it only takes a short time to master, then this thing is probably quite difficult.

"Swish"

Merlin with his eyes closed easily moved among the siege of more than a dozen blood phantoms, looking relaxed and freehand, those claws grabbed from all directions could not touch his body at all.

But Xilia, who was standing with her hips crossed, looked dissatisfied. She seemed to think that Merlin's performance was clumsy.

"Can dodge attacks, can sense changes in emotions and things around you, but that's it. You've always used your keen senses for defense, but never integrated it into your attacks."

Xilia took out a piece of paper and a pen from her pocket, wrote on it, and said casually:

"You are wasting your talent, do you know? Merlin, this has caused your perception ability to stagnate, unable to continue to grow. It stands to reason that you should be able to briefly see what will happen in the next few seconds before the enemy launches an attack. What happened...but you can't do it yet, you have to train."

She put the piece of paper in her hand in front of Elsa's eyes, and Elsa's expression changed slightly when she saw that sentence.

Cilia patted Elsa on the shoulder, didn't say much, but turned to look at Merlin:

"Your sword dance will always be blocked by the enemy, because you lack this kind of offensive keen perception."

"Now... grab their weak point, sword dance... attack!"

"Swish"

Merlin's silver sword jumped into his hand while the flames were beating. At the same time, he no longer simply dodged, but relied on some kind of "instruction" brought by his perception, and quickly swung the sword in his hand.

The sharp blade danced into a gorgeous knife wheel in Merlin's hands, and the sword dance became more dexterous as the footsteps continued to move.

"Shua, Shua, Shua"

The 5 blood phantoms in front of him were killed at the same time, he moved his feet, and after spinning for a few weeks, the remaining phantoms were also killed.

Merlin opened his eyes, he looked at the black mist and smoke floating on his arm, he shook his head in disappointment.

got hit...

Although only 2 times.

"what."

Cilia let out a strange sigh, and while opening a door to other dimensions beside her, she said to Merlin:

"Your atomization makes you not afraid of being hurt, but this ability also limits your continued improvement of swordsmanship. You have to think about what to do if your atomization is suppressed one day or you lose this ability. Fighting... Do you want to continue to hit the blade?"

"But the first sword just now was not bad. It seems that you already know that feeling... Very good, I should go too."

Ciriya stepped into the gate of dimension just like when she came, and she waved to Merlin and Elsa amidst the shining white light:

"See you next time."

"Swish"

The light curtain disappeared, and that handsome woman just helped Merlin solve a problem, then left this world without asking for anything in return, and continued her dimension travel.

"She looked in a hurry."

Merlin put away his sword and said to Elsa:

"It's really hard to imagine what her day-to-day life is like... What's wrong with you? Baby, you look in a bad mood?"

Merlin saw Elsa's slightly depressed expression, and he asked:

"Did something happen?"

"It's nothing."

Elsa raised her head and showed a smile. She took Merlin's hand and said to Merlin:

"I just, don't want to stay here anymore, this is a strange city after all... Hurry up and get rid of the troubles here, and then let's go home."

"Ok."

Merlin felt that things didn't seem so simple, but Elsa didn't want to say it, so he didn't continue to ask.

He turned his head to look at the ruins at the northwest corner of Sulfur Harbor, where thousands of blood phantoms were shackled in the spirit-binding barrier. Blood phantoms are constantly attracted to the spirit-binding barrier. Those phantoms bound by the seal of Arden want to escape, but it is difficult to free themselves from the seals of several demon hunters superimposed on each other.

The two half-demons unscrupulously called for the flames from hell, burning the remnants of Dracula's power. Because of too many divisions, these blood phantoms were no stronger than ordinary vampires. Facing the bombardment of the scorching hellfire, They simply cannot resist.

In the final analysis, they are just some kind of echo left after Dracula's death. After losing Dracula's control, their threat has been infinitely reduced.

"Can you hold on? Coulson."

Merlin asked in the communicator:

"Is it difficult to manipulate the barrier?"

"No, it's not difficult, sir."

Coulson replied:

"Our magic complements each other and lasts a few more hours, but these illusions...too many."

"The wizards will take care of the rest."

Merlin says:

"That's their way of saying sorry, hold on a little longer until the wizards are done with the troubles on the surface, and then come over and take over. I'm going to deal with some other troubles left by Dracula...before I come back, you guys Stay in Sulfur Harbor and try to maintain order here."

"Okay, sir."

Merlin hung up the communication, he looked back at Elsa, he said:

"Let's go, let's find a suitable cemetery for Mr. Dracula."

----------------------

"boom"

Merlin took Elsa to push the door and walked into the mysterious room. Xuanlan was waiting for the master's arrival in the hall as usual.

In the living room, Liana, who had changed into a robe, was sitting there drinking wine, and on the table in front of her was a wooden box.

"Are you done with your home affairs?"

Merlin looked at Liana. He had known this girl for so long, and he had never seen such a straightforward expression of relaxation and enjoyment on her face. It was obviously just ordinary fruit wine, but she was drunk by Liana a feeling of.

"I don't care, I don't care."

Liana waved her hand carelessly, and she said:

"Those illusions are handed over to the demons to deal with. Anyway, those guys feel uncomfortable without fighting for a day. The number of those illusions is large enough for them to fight and kill for a long time every day... Anyway, the entrances and exits of the border of hell are blocked. Those illusions I can't escape either."

She patted the wooden box on the table and said to Merlin and Elsa:

"I brought Dracula's remains back. You are going to find a cemetery for him, right? I think it would be good to bury him anywhere in Limbo. Even if he comes back to life, I can hold him down again." Go back to the cemetery.'

"I can't put it in your place."

Merlin stretched out his hand to open the wooden box, and looked at the neatly arranged skeletons inside, as well as the skull cleaned by Liana. Those bones shining with blood like jade were placed in a black velvet box , it looks a bit infiltrating.

"Limbo has no concept of time. If it is really buried there, maybe tonight or tomorrow morning, you will see a Dracula who rises from the coffin and is alive and kicking."

"In the absence of endless reincarnation, this will be a big hidden danger."

Merlin reached out and picked up Dracula's skull. He looked at the dark eye sockets, and said to Elsa:

"Dracula's resurrection, do you need bones?"

"Theoretically, there is no need."

Elsa replied:

"His immortality comes from the river of blood that never dries up, and has nothing to do with his own bones. In fact, when Dracula died for the first time, his bones were burned by my ancestors , but more than 100 years later, he is still awakened... In fact, almost every time Dracula is awakened, ordinary people are involved."

"I don't know if this is his predetermined destiny. His resurrection relying on his previous body may be more of a mystical guide. There is always some mysterious connection between the spirit and the bone."

Elsa sighed and said:

"But until we really find out the origin of Dracula, we have no way to remove his immortality. He will always be resurrected for various weird reasons, and it is almost impossible to be interfered with, let alone stopped."

She looked at the skull in Merlin's hand, and she said:

"These bones can be destroyed, or you can simply treat them as collectibles. Don't you like to collect these weird things? Although this is not the original remains of Dracula, as the bones that carried the soul of the legend, It can also be regarded as a very valuable magic material."

"Um..."

Merlin looked at the box of bones in front of him, and frowned. After a while, he folded the box and handed it to Xuanlan beside him, saying:

"Put this bone in the collection room."

"Actually, I can use it to carve a walking stick for you, Master Merlin."

Xuan Lan took the box, and she suggested to Merlin:

"Many spellcasters like to collect these mysterious bones to make some magic items, and in many civilizations, wearing the skull of the enemy is also a symbol of strength and majesty. I mean, if you If I need a cane worthy of your status, I can prepare it now."

"OK then."

Merlin thought for a while, and said to Xuanlan:

"The appearance of the cane should be low-key, don't be so conspicuous. As for the name of the cane, let me think about it."

Merlin stretched out his fingers and rubbed his forehead. After a while, he said:

"Call it 'Dracula's Grave', seriously, I'm looking forward to the next scene where he rises from the bones and a legendary vampire emerges from my walking stick...it's interesting to think about it .”

"This must be regarded as a great shame by Dracula."

Liana was drinking fruit wine and interjected:

"Maybe the first thing he does after his resurrection is to come to you to kill you and get his remains from you."

"It's okay, let him come."

Merlin put his arm around Elsa's shoulder, and said:

"With my powerful girlfriend by my side, he will only stay as far away from me as possible."

"Tsk tsk."

Liana glanced at the two people who were close in front of her, and she said:

"After Wannian's single dog finds a partner, he really can't wait to show his affection. Can you take care of my single girl's feelings?"

"Ok."

Merlin smiled. He picked up the teacup Xuanlan put in front of him, took a sip of the tea, and said to Liana:

"What about you? What do you think next?"

"Me, I may stay in the human world for a while."

Liana said a little bored:

"There is still a war on the border of hell. I don't bother to pay attention to those things. I will go back after the demons' battle is over. When are you going to take me to see my brother?"

"In a few days."

Merlin counted the time, and he said to Liana:

"I'll talk about it after I've dealt with the matter of Sulfur Harbor... Or, you can go to see him yourself? Anyway, his memory bottle is with you, and you are also a spellcaster, just return the memory to him .”

"I'll wait for you to go with me."

A trace of confusion appeared on Liana's face, she said:

"I haven't met Piot for more than ten years. The last time I met, I beat him half to death... If you were not here, I always felt that our meeting would be awkward."

"Trust me, he will never blame you."

Merlin says:

"He will only be glad that his sister is alive, and that he will be delighted that you are free. Piot, although he is occasionally rigid, is a genuinely kind person."

"Oh, you are so annoying."

Liana interrupted Merlin with an irritable expression, and she said to Merlin:

"You can just call me after you finish your work. Do you always like to think about it like this? I'm leaving first. I'm going to experience life in the human world."

The queen of the border of hell stood up, she moved her body, and then walked towards the door of the mysterious room, but after walking a few steps, she remembered something again, she turned around, and threw a bundle of black blade whips to the Merlin.

"This is what I found next to Dracula's skeleton. It's your trophy."

"Don't you want it?"

Merlin looked at the black bladed whip entrenched in his hand like the deepest shadow, and he said to Liana:

"This thing looks quite expensive."

"I won't use it."

Liana said bluntly:

"I don't like this kind of sneaky weapon either, it suits you quite well, um, since you said that the promise doesn't count, then I'll give you this thing as a reward for helping me before. "

After finishing speaking, Liana opened the door and walked out. In the huge mysterious room, only Merlin and Elsa were left.

"Well..."

As soon as Merlin turned his head, Elsa kissed him on the lips actively. This girl is rarely so active, but how should I put it, after a big battle, there is always a moment of relaxation.

Merlin took off Elsa's coat, then snapped his fingers lightly, and the lights of the whole room quickly dimmed at this moment.

Leave those troubles behind and enjoy the moment.
