Lord of Hyranza

Chapter 383 Holy Light

Several friends of the young nobleman gathered around the headless corpse, looking around in panic, worried that the murderer would come out of the mist again to kill.

The strong man reached out and picked up the head of the noble boy, placed it next to the headless corpse, closed his eyelids with his hands, and said to everyone: "We have encountered enemies we have never seen before, and they are hiding in the mist. Going like the wind, so please try not to disperse, only if everyone is united, can we walk out of this oak forest without any harm."

If someone is willing to stand up, there will naturally be followers.

After the strong man stood up from the ground, someone in the crowd yelled, "Knight Holman, we will follow your instructions on what to do."

Karl spread his hands helplessly, and smiled wryly at Suldak.

Obviously everyone doesn't recognize him, but since someone is willing to stand up and take the lead, he is also happy to relax.

Knight Holman slapped the epee in his hand on the trousers rhythmically, making a clicking sound, and shouted to the crowd: "Now I need some help, I hope you can stand up bravely, warriors of the Grimm Empire out..."

He looked high-spirited, standing in the mist, examining every young nobleman in the crowd very seriously.

Some young nobles showed fearful expressions on their faces, and their bodies retreated involuntarily, but there were also some young nobles who took the initiative to stand up.

Dacie Christie also wanted to get out of the crowd, but was stopped by the manor guards. Under the persuasion of the guards, Dacie Christie stayed in the crowd, but the manor guards joined in in unison.Karl, Llewellyn and Suldak also responded and joined the ranks of the brave.

Since everyone came out to hunt in the first place, they were equipped with complete weapons and equipment, and no one was prepared.

It's just that the swordsman Leonard in the crowd had an ugly expression on his face. He tried hard to get out of the crowd, but Miss Fanny grabbed her and whispered in his ear, "Are you crazy?"

Leonard's face was a bit ugly. He hesitated for a moment, but finally stopped and did not continue to walk out, holding one hand tightly on the hilt of the sword.

Except for Leonard Swordsman, He Bird Tax Officer also failed to stand up this time. He is a civilian tax officer of Hailansa City Hall. He has almost nothing on his body except a big belly. The Western rapier was more like an ornament. When Miss Hoyle looked at Tax Collector Byrd, there was a hint of disdain in her eyes.

Seeing so many people standing up, Knight Holman shouted to everyone: "Very well, everyone, take up your weapons, surround the women and those who cannot fight, and let's go to the manor by the lake together."

He also said to the friend of the beheaded young nobleman: "We have to leave him here. Tomorrow, the fog will clear during the day, and then we will go back to the oak forest to take him back. No one knows how many terrible enemies are hidden in the fog." , now we can’t waste manpower to carry him away.”

Although the young nobles were a little bit reluctant, they saw that no one was willing to help them carry away the corpse of their companions, so they could only continue to move forward with the crowd.

Knight Holman walked at the front of the team with his sword. He turned his head and shouted to the crowd: "Has anyone prepared a torch? The torch can dispel some cold fog and keep those dangerous things from approaching..."

The guard captain of Christie Manor took out a piece of tarpaulin from his magic pocket, cut off a branch as thick as an arm from an oak tree, and made five torches in three steps. After the torch was lit, it could only illuminate In the range of three meters in diameter, even the flames could not be seen any further, and the fog became even bigger.

Everyone leaned together, and the outermost circles were all fighters with weapons in their hands. Everyone gave up riding and walked towards Ice Lake Manor on foot.

The oak forest shrouded in mist became darker. In addition to the sound of footsteps in the woodland, there were also very dull crackling sounds one after another, as if something was breaking through the ground, and the sickle appeared twice in the dense fog. , but was discovered in advance by the prepared crowd.

Although two young men had their arms cut by the scythe, no one was killed by the scythe.

The light of the torch can make the approaching sickle appear in advance. Everyone found that they were actually two ghosts swimming in the oak forest. They had white outlines, and their bodies were translucent. They could hide in the mist and come and go quietly. Flying with sound, when approaching the torch, the originally blurred outline will become solid.

"It's two undead ghosts..." Karl stared at a white figure retreating into the mist, turned his head and whispered to Suldak.

Just when Karl turned his head, Suldak felt the fog behind Karl violently rolling, and a sharp ax broke through the fog and slashed towards Karl's left shoulder.

Karl was caught off guard and felt Suldak's eyes and the strong wind behind him. He had no time to dodge, so he could only tilt his body and fall to the right, trying to avoid the sharp axe. Seeing that the sharp ax was about to hit Karl On his shoulder pads, the craftsman's sword in Suldak's hand caught the blade of the axe, and there was a loud "Dang" sound. The sword shook, and Suldak took half a step back.

The hand holding the sword was numb from the shock of the sharp axe. Suldak saw a skeleton rushing out of the mist. The ax in his hand was blocked by Suldak, but he didn't stop. Facing Karl who fell to the ground, Karl turned around and used his sword to block the skull's bone feet. The huge force of the skeleton knocked the long sword in Karl's hand away. Karl took advantage of this opportunity to dodge the kick from the skeleton in embarrassment. .

Baron Llewellyn next to him slashed at the skeleton's forearm with a sword, and the long sword made a click, as if hitting a hollow tree trunk, leaving shallow marks on the gray-white arm bone of the skeleton.

There is still some frozen soil on the body of this skeleton, and the skeleton is even a little incomplete. He is holding a sharp ax in his hand. With a strong dead air, there are two faint blue flames hidden in the eye sockets of the skull. These two flames are the soul fire of undead creatures and their source of strength.

The skeleton that emerged from the mist looked at Baron Llewellyn, so frightened that Baron Llewellyn almost dropped the long sword in his hand on the ground.

Fortunately, Suldak had recovered at this time. He held the dwarf chain shield in his hand and adjusted his pace. The thick shield slammed into the skeleton of the skeleton, and the gray-white skeleton suddenly made a shattering sound. The skeleton was shaken by Suldak's 'shield strike'. Karl took the opportunity to stand up from the ground, and stabbed the long sword in his hand into the left eye socket of the skeleton.

The skeleton twitched unceasingly, the soul fire in the right eye socket stared at Karl, the sharp ax in his hand slashed at Karl, but was firmly blocked by the shield in Suldak's hand again, Karl and Llewellyn's long swords almost At the same time, it pierced into the skull's right eye socket, puncturing that ray of soul fire. Immediately, the gray bones on the skeleton's body were scattered all over the ground, and the heavy ax also fell heavily on the ground, and the death energy all over his body instantly floated into the air.

Knight Holman ran over with a long sword in his hand, stared at the broken bones on the ground with an ugly face, and said, "It's a skeleton soldier of the undead tribe. How could there be undead here?"

The rest of the people didn't know how to answer. The captain of the guard at Christie's Manor said, "This place has never been invaded by the undead."

It was the first time Suldak encountered a skeleton soldier of the undead tribe. He was a little curious about the skeleton, so he squatted down to check the broken bones on the ground, picked up a thigh bone, and found hand-painted runes on the bone. Suldak picked up the leg bone in his hand suspiciously, and asked suspiciously, "There are also magic patterns on the undead skeletons?"

The Holman knight came over, took the broken bone in Suldak's hand, took a look and said: "In my opinion, this is not a skeleton of the undead at all, it is a skeleton summoned by a necromancer. Necromancers master undead magic, they can summon powerful undead creatures, and only undead creatures that sign contracts with necromancers will have this magic pattern mark on them."

The team didn't stop because of this, and everyone kept walking towards the frozen lake.

"So, it should be a necromancer who attacked us?" Llewellyn asked with lingering fear.

"Or there are necromancers among the group of people who attacked us!" Carl said, he didn't think the person who created the ice fog was just a necromancer.

Holden Knight didn't answer this question, but turned to Suldak and asked, "You just came back from the battlefield?"

Suldak glanced at Knight Holden, saw a hint of appreciation on his rough and rough face, and said:

"Moyun Ridge in Handanal County."

It was a battle that no one was willing to bring up, and probably no one except the Bena people would know about it, but it was a painful lesson for the Hailansa people, representing that the army of Hailansa City fought in that battle. A large number of soldiers were lost in the battle, especially the Seventh Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment was almost wiped out.

So when Suldak said this, Knight Holden's expression suddenly changed. He nodded, looked at Suldak and said: "I have also heard of that battle, the place where the Marquis Solomon Bowen fell, You can come back alive, it should be blessed by the goddess of luck, my name is Holden, if you have a chance, you can sit down and chat together."

Knight Holden didn't say much either. Seeing that the situation here had stabilized, he walked back to the front row to open the way.

After this sneak attack by the undead skeletons, Karl no longer dared to chat casually in the team, and handed his back to Suldak.

At this time, Suldak noticed that although Miss Fanny in the crowd was wrapped in a thick cloak, her body seemed to be shaking constantly.

Leonard's face beside her also became even uglier. His eyes kept looking around, apparently afraid of something popping up suddenly, and the flustered expression definitely didn't look like what an intermediate swordsman should have. look.

Immediately afterwards, skeletons continued to crawl out of the frozen ground. Although they were not as free as ghosts, they were aggressive. They did not feel any pain on their bodies. As long as the fire of soul in their eye sockets was not extinguished, they would be covered in bones. He was shattered, but he could still struggle to stand up from the broken bones, and the death energy all over his body could quickly connect the gray and white bones together.

Moreover, the number of such skeletons emerging from the frozen soil is increasing. Except for the first one that was quickly dealt with, several more skeletons surrounded them from all directions, and immediately smashed the defense line around the crowd to zero. Baluo, these young nobles had no combat experience at all, and the shields in their hands couldn't withstand the sharp axes in the hands of the skeletons, so they couldn't deal with the skeletons immediately, and a scuffle broke out suddenly.

There are two ghosts lurking in the mist, waiting for the opportunity, as long as the scythe appears, it means that someone is injured.

Only Suldak, Karl, and Baron Llewellyn cooperated tacitly. Suldak held the dwarf chain shield in front of him. The sharp axes of undead skeletons could not split his iron shield, and they did not have much wisdom. The undead creatures do not know how to adapt at all, and the tacit cooperation of the three allowed them to kill three skeletons one after another.

The others didn't have the strength to fight against the skeletons in their panic, so Holden Knight could only fight around the fire.

Along the way, the guards of the manor suffered the heaviest losses. Because of their mission, they stood at the outermost edge of the team almost without hesitation, facing the first round of attacks from the skeletons and ghosts. At this time, seven guards had been injured one after another. , the collarbone at the shoulder of one of them was severed by the ghost sickle.

At this time, Darcy Christie also joined the battle with a sword. When Darcy Christie joined the battle, the guards of the manor could only gather around Darcy and protect her side and back to prevent her from being attacked by ghosts, even if she was injured. It doesn't work either.

People were constantly injured along the way, and some people even fought continuously, but it was too late to bandage the wounds.

Suldak wanted to help the wounded soldier deal with the wounds. At this time, he suddenly remembered the shining saber in his magic pocket. Although the craftsman's sword was more handy when fighting, he wanted to keep more of the holy light for himself. Suddenly, Suldak put the Craftsman's Sword into the scabbard, and under Karl's surprised gaze, he pulled out the shining saber from the magic pocket.

When his hand was on the handle of the knife, an inexplicable suction sucked the holy breath flowing in his body into the blade, and the blade instantly lit up with a faint light, which looked like a burning lamp in the mist. torches.

He ran towards a young nobleman drenched in blood. The forearm of the young nobleman was cut off by the sharp ax of the skeleton, and two wounds were cut on his body by the sharp axe. The two companions around him were forced to retreat by the skeleton. His head was about to be chopped off with an axe. Fortunately, Suldak arrived in time, and the shining saber pierced the skull's eye socket. Before Suldak pierced another soul fire, The Shining Saber seemed to have an invisible suction, instantly sucking two points of soul fire into the blade, and the entire skeleton immediately turned into a pile of broken bones and scattered all over the ground.

The desperate young nobleman was stunned by Suldak's sword. Seeing Suldak stabbing at him with the shining saber in his hand, he didn't know how to dodge.

The shining saber was pressed against the young nobleman, and a soft holy light poured into the young nobleman's body...

Chapter 384 Hard fight

A beam of holy light fell on the young nobleman, and the wound on his arm healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The young nobleman widened his eyes, looked at Suldak in front of him, and even forgot to say a word of thanks for a moment.

Suldak pulled him up from the ground with one hand. Although his forearm was cut off by the sharp axe, it was impossible for him to rest on the spot.

Even if you can't continue to fight at this time, you must have a certain ability to protect yourself.

Suldak instructed the young nobleman's companion, "Both of you help him bandage his wound."

The two companions who caught up looked at Suldak with strange eyes, and when they stared at the shining saber in his hand, the panic and fear in their eyes were gradually fading. They helped the young nobleman up, and at this time A skeleton rushed over, and the two guarded the young nobleman behind them, desperately blocking the fierce attack of the skeleton. Such thrilling scenes kept appearing on the battlefield.

Knight Holden constantly shuttled through the crowd, always appearing in the most critical place of the battle. He shouted: "Attack the soul fire in the eye sockets of the skeleton soldiers, and they will die completely only when the flexible fire goes out. , pay attention to avoid the sneak attack of the ghost..."

His voice was already a little hoarse, and there were still two wounds of different depths on his body, but this did not affect his battle at all. The long sword in his hand could always appear at the most critical moment, where he needed help the most.

The skeleton soldier chopped down a young nobleman in a pool of blood, and then it strode into the crowd. There was a panic and exclamation from the crowd, the sharp ax in the skeleton soldier's hand was dripping blood, the soul in its eyes The fire burned more violently, and the skeleton that already had countless cracks healed quickly. It raised the sharp ax in its hand high, and slashed down at the dumb lady in front of it.

Holden Knight spanned a distance of nearly ten meters, knelt down on one knee to parry the skeleton soldier's sharp axe, and the heavy ax caused a phantom of 'potential' to appear behind Holden Knight. It was a man holding a sword and shield The armored general is just a fleeting shadow.

Relying on the appearance of 'potential', Knight Holden borrowed a bit of strength to support the sharp ax of the skeleton soldier. Although the ax did not cause any injuries to him, it caused the other two wounds on his body to burst open instantly. The scabbed wound oozes blood again, Holden Knight let out a muffled groan, and his face instantly turns red.

He pushed back the skeleton soldier, and took the opportunity to stab the long sword in the skeleton soldier's eye socket, and then the young swordsman who came later stabbed the skeleton soldier's other eye socket, the skeleton soldier's soul fire dissipated, and the gray-white bones scattered all over the ground , Knight Holden didn't have time to catch his breath, watching the skeleton soldiers rushing out of the fog, and rushed to the next place where the battle was most intense.

In the mist, skeletons constantly crawled out of the frozen ground and rushed towards this battlefield. The situation on the battlefield was precarious. If the guards of Christie Manor had not formed a defensive formation and involved more than half of the skeletons, the crowd would have already died by now. Being rushed to pieces by the skeletons, facing these skeleton soldiers who are not afraid of death and feel no pain, the young nobles continue to suffer casualties, and the battle circle continues to shrink.

The shining saber in Suldak's hand can dissipate the death energy on the skeleton soldiers. As long as the shining saber is close to the skeleton soldiers, they will feel that the skeleton soldiers even move slowly. The soldier's skull immediately sucked the fire of the skeleton soldier's soul into the saber, and then the skeleton was peeled off to shatter the bones, and Suldak rushed to the next battlefield.

Karl and Llewellyn stood by Suldak's side, watching his sharp sword, almost speechless in surprise.

The two of them firmly protected Suldak's back, not giving the ghost hidden in the mist any chance.

Daxi Christie also participated in the melee at this moment. As a one-turn swordsman, Daxi possessed formidable strength. In terms of swordsmanship alone, she could even overwhelm Suldak in the sword gym. The 'momentum' behind her is far more solid than that of Holden Knight. Holding a long sword in each hand, she continuously slashed at the skull of a skeleton soldier. The continuous offensive made the skeleton soldier repeatedly step back.

The long sword slashed on the skeleton, making a continuous crisp sound of 'cracking'.

Darcy Christie's red hair was flying in the ice fog, like a banner on the battlefield.

At this moment, a skeleton soldier stepped on the corpse of a young nobleman and rushed into the crowd. The soul fires in the eyes of the skeleton soldier kept jumping in the eye sockets. Seeing a group of ladies in the center of the crowd, it almost didn't He jumped at Miss Fanny hesitantly, and the skeleton knocked the two of them into the air. Just as he reached out to grab Miss Fanny, a long crimson sword slashed at the arm of the skeleton soldier.

The crimson sword in Swordsman Leonard's hand was so sharp that it chopped off a part of the skeleton soldier's arm.

After blocking the skeleton, Leonard Swordsman's eyes turned pale with panic, but the long sword in his hand blocked the skeleton soldier's slashing one after another.

In the next second, the white ghost appeared in front of Miss Fanny in a mist. It raised the scythe in its hand to cut off Miss Fanny's head, but Miss Fanny hid behind Mrs. Christie on guard. Facing the ghost, Mrs. Christie's eyes widened in horror. She didn't even have time to resent Miss Fanny. When she backed up, her legs gave way and she fell on her back. It was this fall that made Mrs. Christie avoid it. The sickle in the ghost's hand.

This ghost did not disappear into the mist instantly like before, but continued to chase after it.

At this time, Karl had already discovered that Mrs. Christie was in crisis. He fought side by side with Suldak, but he was never too far away from Mrs. Christie. When he realized the danger, he immediately flew over, rolled around on the ground twice with Mrs. Christie in his arms, and then dodged again. However, the ghost did not continue to chase Karl and Mrs. Christie who rolled into a ball on the ground, but rushed towards Miss Fanny again.

Miss Fanny's eyes were horrified, and she watched the ghost charge forward with a scythe, trembling all over, but her mind was extremely clear. She hid behind Miss Hoyle again, and the ghost pounced on the somewhat bewildered Hoyle. Miss Earl.

Darcy Christie also arrived in time at this moment, and she directly stabbed the ghost with her two swords.

The ghost seemed to sense the danger behind it, and it flashed behind Miss Hoyle and Miss Fanny in an instant. The bone scythe cut towards the necks of Hoyle and Miss Fanny. Before the sickle fell, a fat body stood in front of Miss Hoyle, raising an arm to block the ghost's sickle.

The blood spurted out, spattered Miss Fanny's face, and made Miss Fanny scream repeatedly.

Chapter 385 Walking Out of the Oak Forest

The oak trees in the forest are covered with pure white rime, and the cold wind blows away the layer of ice fog in front of Suldak. He just saw the sickle in the ghost's hand cut off the left arm of Bird tax collector, and the blade was on Bird tax collector's chest The slash not only completely destroyed the leather armor on his body, but also cut a wound more than a foot long horizontally on his chest. Blood gushed out from his body and immediately stained Bird's tax collector's linen shirt red.

Tax Inspector Byrd glanced at the ghost in front of him in horror, and then turned his head to look at Miss Hoyle, who was safe and sound. At this time, he seemed to want to smile at Miss Hoyle, but it was just the drama from the wound. The pain made him rush into bursts of intense dizziness, his body shook slightly, and he fell on his back.

Miss Hoyle's scream seemed to be heard in her ear, and her incomparably complicated eyes clearly showed a trace of concern. This was the last scene of Bird's tax collector closing his eyes, and then he fell into endless darkness and ice-cold .

……

The soul fire in the eye sockets of the ghosts of the undead is ice blue. It has been visible among the crowd for too long. If it does not return to the mist, it will be in great danger. Before the soldier chased after him, he hid in the dark ice fog and waited for an opportunity. He was very annoyed that he failed to kill the target in one fell swoop.

Horror and fear are like nourishment, constantly gathering into the body from all sides, making its body more solid, the bone sickle in the hand also grows sharp bone spurs on the surface, black runes emerge from the skeleton, and the crowd Those people in it were already terrified. When it spread its arms and swept upwards, it was like a white bird spreading its wings.

But just before it was about to escape into the dense fog, a burning sensation suddenly came from behind, it was a breath that made the fire of its soul tremble continuously.

It sensed danger and wanted to get out of the fight quickly.

It rushed upwards with all its strength, and the fearful aura behind it was about to pierce into its body.

The ghost suddenly stopped, it turned around and rushed towards the chasing knight, endured the holy light on the knight's weapon, and let out a deafening scream in front of him, a huge energy ring was released from the ghost's body, just It was as if countless ghosts rushed out of the bodies of ghosts, and those souls got into the bodies of the people around them. The faces of those people were immediately covered with a layer of blue dead air, and everyone's faces became hideous, as if someone else A ghost wants to take over their bodies.

People choked their own throats, their eyes kept bulging outwards, their hunched bodies curled up like shrimps, and their limbs involuntarily showed various strange and twisted shapes.

But at this moment, the ghost found that the knight in front of him was completely indifferent...

It originally thought that it would allow the knight to feel the impact of remnant souls like those around him, but the pendant hanging on the knight's chest emitted scorching rays like the sun, blocking all the ghosts that tried to rush into his body , Even the group of people behind the knight survived.

The long sword exuding a sacred aura in the knight's hand has already opened the already very fragile body. It even feels that it can't hold the sickle in its hand. The body is constantly dissipating. The ice blue soul fire is like Pulled by some powerful force, she got separated from the ghost's body little by little, and was sucked into the weapon that exudes holy light...

The ghost didn't seem to be made of bones. After it completely disappeared, there were no broken bones scattered on the ground, only a white spar fell to the ground.

……

Seeing the ghost rushing into the crowd, Suldak quickly chased after him, but the ghost rushed towards the crowd like lightning. He saw the ghost looking at Mrs. Christie, chasing Miss Hoyle, and finally killing Bird. The tax collector fell in a pool of blood, and then the ghost tried to escape into the thick fog overhead.

Of course, it was impossible for Suldak to let the ghost go away easily, otherwise, when the ghost reappeared, someone would probably fall under the ghost's scythe.

He chased after it with all his strength, and stabbed the shining saber in his hand into the ghost's body. Unexpectedly, the ghost suddenly turned around and let out a scream. It rushed out from inside, but when those remnant souls rushed in front of Suldak, the sobriety pendant hanging around his neck emitted a dazzling light, which not only made him sober up, but even the countless ghosts who rushed over They were also blocked by the lucid pendant, and some even disappeared into thin air.

Of course, Suldak would not miss this opportunity, and directly stabbed the shining saber into the ghost's body. It felt like a red-hot iron pierced into a candle, and the ghost kept moving at a speed visible to the naked eye. The ground melted, the dead air slowly dissipated, and what fell on the ground was only a white crystal nucleus the size of a thumb.

The ghost was killed by Suldak, and all the surrounding ghosts disappeared, and a dozen or so crazy self-harming people around them woke up immediately.

Carl swung his sword to block a skeleton soldier in time, but Llewellyn next to him was not so lucky. Before he woke up, a skeleton soldier rushed up and cut open his lower abdomen. At this moment, his internal organs were already flowing. Suddenly, when he woke up, he saw his bloody internal organs hanging out of his body. Baron Llewellyn wailed almost in despair. He seemed to have lost all his strength, and suddenly knelt on the ground.

He looked at Karl beside him, looked at Suldak not far away, and wanted to call for help to Suldak, but when he opened his mouth, countless blood gushed out of his throat, and his eyes looked straight at In the dense fog, he swallowed his last breath.

When Suldak arrived in stride, he could only split the skeleton soldier's head in half with a single sword, and a ray of soul fire flowed into the Shining Saber again, perhaps because the holy light from the Shining Saber blocked the ability to absorb souls. In the process of the fire, almost no one noticed this, only Suldak felt that another force that was dormant in his body seemed to be growing continuously.

Suldak helped Karl get rid of another skeleton soldier in front of him, and picked up the comatose Byrd tax collector. He tried his best to let the power of the holy light pour into the Shining Saber, and a ball of dazzling light burst out from the saber, followed by a The beam of light fell on tax collector Byrd, and Suldak felt that this holy light was healing tax collector Byrd, and what he had to do now was to bandage the wound of tax collector Byrd, after all, tax collector Byrd was beheaded by the ghost. Broken an arm.

Miss Hoyle retrieved the arm that had become a little stiff from the snow. Suldak couldn't connect his arm at this time. He could only do some simple hemostasis. The bandages were hastily wrapped up the wounds on his severed arm and chest, and the Bird tax collector was handed over to the care of Miss Hoyle and Mrs. Christie.
