Chapter 330 Encirclement and Suppression (Part 1)
It was dawn, and a ray of sunlight on the horizon dyed the clouds into a small piece of light gold.
Somewhere in a small town at the foot of the mountain.
Black and gray buildings were built one after another, quiet and silent, the surface of the buildings was gray and dull, some doors and windows were smashed, and only a little remnant was left hanging on them.
In the central square, the human-shaped sculpture in the middle of the circular fountain had no head.
The ground on the right side sank, and a deep crack appeared, as if someone had cut a crack from not far away with a knife, hitting the fountain pool and shaking the sculpture crooked.
On the left side of the fountain pool was an oval lawn, and the flowers and plants on the ground were gloomy and lifeless.
At this time, a tall man in crimson exquisite iron armor was standing by the guardrail.
He held a blood-stained knight's sword in his right hand, stood on the branch of a big tree, and carefully scanned the surrounding scene.
Through the gaps between the dense leaves, his sight just fell on a cluster of dilapidated flowers in the distance.
At the same time, he also sensed the surrounding situation.
Suddenly, on the trunk of the tree, gray leaf moths quietly crawled away, forming a big circle. The tree's skin gradually became twisted, and a gray hole appeared, with lines spreading into the distance.
A skinny palm suddenly emerged from it.
The black nails were like sharp thorns, grabbing up and down like claws, containing poison and weirdness.
Then a head with long hair came out.
The face could not be seen clearly, only an eye with blood left, full of cruelty and resentment.
Theo immediately felt something was wrong.
He sensed that the air around him was a little colder, and he didn't find anything else, but his fighting instinct told him that the enemy was hiding beside him.
"Clang!"
The sound of the blade and the scabbard rubbing against each other sounded.
A white light flashed, directly piercing the tree trunk, and the tip of the sword pierced the place where Theo felt dangerous a moment ago.
The sword energy lingered on the sword body, but did not kill any objects, and there was nothing in front of him.
Ghosts are hard to form in this world, but once they are formed, they have strong power. After all, physical attacks can only repel and hinder them, but cannot cause substantial damage.
The sword energy stimulated by the knight contains the essence of human qi and blood. Once the ghost is touched, it is equivalent to being tortured.
But it has to hit.
Just as Theo was thinking, a tuft of long hair slowly fell from above, hanging upside down behind him without him noticing, and the distorted face was facing the back of his head.
The coldness made Theo's scalp numb instinctively, and countless small bumps appeared on the back of his neck. He turned back suddenly.
"!! Fuck ^O^#*#^O^Fuck!!"
Theo was a little unsteady in his speech, looking at the ghost so close, just when he thought he had to explain it at this time.
The illusory golden moon appeared beside him, a circle of sword light rotated like a pattern, the trees were shattered, and the coldness was dispelled.
But the ghost disappeared again without a trace, and hissing black smoke continued to overflow in the air behind him.
"Theo, are you okay?"
A female knight arrived in time. She was not very old, about 20 years old. A long ocean blue ponytail swayed as she walked, and her sapphire-like eyes were crystal clear.
"Damn, what kind of weird thing did the witch cultivate? Fortunately, Helen, you came in time, otherwise I might be dead."
Theo said with lingering fear.
He was very glad that he did not choose to follow his uncle Avic, but followed the old Duke Gustavo.
Otherwise, the witch's weird and unpredictable means.
If he went to the core area where the witches gathered, he would probably die young after graduating from the academy.
Helen nodded and looked around.
"Hehe~Hehe~"
The hoarse and devilish laughter sounded from all directions.
The ghost was moving at high speed, and the traces that appeared and disappeared suddenly appeared, and the perception could not lock its movement trajectory.
Ghosts are like this. If you catch a weakness, you will be vulnerable, and if you can't restrain it, you will appear extremely powerful.
Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking air in the sky. Helen looked up and saw a bloody rain falling all over the sky.
She slashed with the long sword in her hand, refracting light like a net. The bloody rain that attacked was shattered and shaken away without a drop of leakage. No one could get close. The sword energy was vibrating and the buzzing sound was resounding.
Looking at the ghost that was hiding again, Helen frowned slightly.
She quickly took out a small bottle from her waist bag, opened the stopper and poured out some light yellow powder, and sprinkled it forward.
She whispered an unknown spell.
A ball of white mist suddenly exploded, and Helen and the ghost were covered in the white mist at the same time.
I saw the golden sword energy burst out in the white mist, and sword energy spread out from it like a hedgehog.
Just as Theo was about to rush in to help.
A scream came out, the scream was very harsh, drilling into his eardrum, and his scalp was numb.
The white mist quickly dissipated.
A black shadow burning with golden flames was burning and destroying, and the sound of corrosion was constantly heard.
Next to him was Helen's calm face.
Suddenly, the black shadow stopped screaming and struggling, and its body was burned into charcoal inch by inch, turning into black ash.
And Theo also saw the ghost's face clearly for the first time, and vaguely saw the bright beauty in front of him.
"Helen, what did you just use..."
Theo couldn't help asking, the ghost that almost killed him was easily solved by Helen, he wanted to know the reason.
A year ago, Helen was far from his opponent.
At the beginning, she could only fight with Lord Sauron with the sword of Lord Sauron in the ring, but now she has left him far behind. Although he has also been promoted to the knight rank, she still feels a little uncomfortable.
"I made a potion of manifestation."
Helen said without looking back, she squatted on the ground to collect the ashes produced by the burning of ghosts.
The book said that this is a basic material for vengeful spirits.
It has a wide range of uses.
She plans to use it to make a psychic potion, which can open a special function of the eyes. After opening, it can see things that ordinary people cannot see, that is, ghosts.
Next time you encounter this situation, you don't have to be so troublesome.
"You can also make potions!?" Theo opened his mouth and couldn't speak for a while.
"Yes, I am a pharmacist." Helen blinked her clear and bright eyes, very proud of it.
She then sighed again, "But the teacher asked me to focus more on pharmacy and not practice sword all day."
"Why..."
"He said that learning sword has no future."
Theo wanted to refute with the long sword in his hand, but he didn't dare to open his mouth after thinking of the scarlet eyes.
"Why did he say that practicing sword has no future?!" A rough and bold voice came from the center of the town.
"Knights rely on the sword in their hands to defeat one enemy after another and conquer this continent!"
"Look, the sword is the most powerful! Even the dark witch Elodie can't block my sword."
Boom! ! !
Suddenly, there was a roar behind them.
The two looked back and saw that a building was smashed to pieces, shaking up a large amount of dust and stone slag.
A middle-aged uncle in black armor walked out. His face was a very ordinary face, with a beard, mixed with a few white beards, deep eye sockets, and a serious lack of sleep.
Dagon, the knight leading the two.
A knight of the peak level, a well-known strong man, he is the family knight of the old Duke Gustavo.
He held a comatose witch in his hand.
The witch's eyes were closed, her face was slightly cold, and she was wearing a black gauze dress on her curvy body. Through the holes on it, you could vaguely see her white skin like snow and jade.
"She's still alive, Theo, you keep an eye on her first, and then catch a few more and send them to Lord Sauron."
Degon put the witch on the ground carefully like a treasure, feeling happy.
Lord Sauron assigned them a task, and everyone had to hand in at least one witch, a living witch.
And if you hand in more than one, there will be a reward.
If it is a special witch, such as the dark witch he just caught, there will be an additional reward.
In addition, this dark witch is very beautiful and has a very good figure. She can be called the best among witches. According to the character of Lord Sauron that he inquired about, the reward is likely to be doubled.
Thinking of the reward list given by Lord Sauron, Degon was slightly excited. There were so many good things that made him covetous.
