Volume 1 The Curtain of the Night Chapter 53 The Fallen
Edith looked at the distorted and blurred black shadow in front of her, and there was a hint of jealousy in her eyes.
Fallen Heart, this is a secret organization founded by the fallen duke of the Soul Descendants, "Duke Beckman", the Soul Descendants in the organization call themselves "Fallen", some people call them "Fallen Aristocrats", these Soul Descendants pursue the transcendent power of the mind and spirit, especially the legendary spiritual realm holy relic "Doris Heart", for which they can even do whatever it takes.
Due to frequent contact with various spiritual anomalous forces, the degenerate who have fallen into the sea of hearts are often violent and psychological, crazy and perverted, and are on the verge of losing control and not losing control.
The Fallen...... It's just a bunch of crazy people.
A bunch of outlaws.
"Why are you following us?" Edith asked in a cold voice, staring directly at the distorted shadow.
This man almost avoided my perception...... He could never be an ordinary degenerate.
A degenerate of this level would actually follow us......
"Haha...... It's nothing, I'm just a little concerned about one of you. The Twisted Shadow chuckled, "Originally, I wanted to leave quickly when I was discovered by you, but there was one thing that I was concerned about, and I wanted to make sure, so I stayed." ”
"What do you mean?" Edith asked, stunned for a moment.
"Huh...... Originally, I couldn't fully confirm it, but now that I'm in contact with you, I can confirm it. The Twisted Shadow smiled, "The power in you is indeed from the same source as him...... It's still a bit different, though. ”
Edith couldn't help but be stunned.
The "he" that the Twisted Black Shadow said was obviously referring to Xia Zuo.
"You, like him, managed to get my attention. The Twisted Shadow smiled, "I didn't expect that this little Clara could encounter so many interesting things." ”
"......" Edith didn't answer immediately, and suddenly quieted down, this person, he knew the relationship between her and Xia Zuo, even if he couldn't accurately guess the specific situation, he could guess it accurately.
As a degenerate...... It is impossible to pass up this opportunity......
This person...... It must not be left behind.
Edith's eyes were suddenly sharp, and then Edith's index finger swiped imperceptibly, and a stream of pure soul energy bullets suddenly condensed, directly attacking the distorted black shadow!
"Boom!"
After the explosion, the dust cleared, and the twisted shadow reappeared in front of Edith.
The Twisted Shadow was originally a complete figure, but at this time, the Twisted Shadow was mutilated everywhere, looking crumbling, and it seemed that it would automatically dissipate in the next second.
"Hey, is it just something like a clone......" Edith frowned slightly, then relieved.
Also, after all, it is a depraved person who has fallen into the sea of hearts, and it is normal that it is not so easy to deal with.
However, judging from the performance of this degenerate, his strength is likely to reach the level of a true soul hunter, which is definitely not to be underestimated, a soul hunter master, that can compete with the existence of the upper soul ghost "demon species".
"It seems...... I don't have a lot of time left for my brother...... Brother, you have to get stronger quickly......" Edith thought for a moment, hoping that the Fallen wouldn't spread the word to the other Fallen, otherwise it might be in trouble.
"It's really troublesome...... "Edith muttered, "forget it, let's go in quickly, don't make my brother wait too long." The soul energy on Edith's body condensed again, enveloping Edith's petite body, and then Edith jumped lightly, easily breaking through the obstacles, passing through the storm, and entering the castle through the window.
Edith quickly followed Xia Zuo and Jasmine.
Xia Zuo saw Edith follow, so he smiled at Edith reassuringly.
Originally, Xia Zuo was a little worried, and let Edith "cushion" twice in a row, what if something happened?
But in fact, Edith's strength doesn't need Xia Zuo to worry about at all, Xia Zuo should worry about himself, this is probably just a mess of concern.
After all, Xia Zuo also began to have some inexplicable feelings for Edith.
"Let's go ......" Xia Zuo was about to speak, when suddenly, Xia Zuo sensed the breath of the griffin, Xia Zuo looked at the little eagle, and the little eagle nodded.
"Then let's take the right road. With the affirmation of the little Hippogriff, Xia Zuo naturally made a decision.
Following the traces left by the griffin, the three of them trotted after him.
... ...
On the other side, the Chamber of Secrets.
Viscount Saxophone felt a little nervous, he seemed to feel that the griffon's position was getting closer and closer to him, and although he had planned a lot, he would inevitably feel nervous when it came time to actually face the griffon.
After all, it was a life-threatening event.
"It's just a griffin......"
"Huh...... It's just a griffin. ”
Viscount Sachs gulped down the wine stored in the secret room as he soothed himself to himself.
Viscount Saxophone drank and drank, and suddenly smashed the wine bottle on the ground, and the whole secret room was suddenly filled with a strong smell of wine.
Sachs is venting his emotions.
"Lord Viscount, it's coming. Rhine, who was on the side, suddenly raised his head slightly and said in a low voice.
Viscount Sachs couldn't help but be stunned.
Very close to the chamber, the griffons used their soul-incarnation to ignore physical obstacles, rampage through the vicinity, sometimes quieting down, sometimes clawing, destroying everything in the castle.
"Where...... Where is it...... Where the hell is this human!!" The griffon roared, furious and destroying everything in sight.
Although the Ammut tree fruit eaten by the griffin greatly strengthened the griffin's strength, it also weakened the griffin's senses, after all, it was a highly poisonous fruit, and due to the influence of toxin paralysis, the griffin's perception ability was not even half as strong as before.
Now the griffin feels that it is becoming more and more unable to control the power in its body, it can hardly feel pain, its vision begins to blur slightly, and its sense of hearing and smell has also decreased to varying degrees.
But the griffon's perception is still not weak.
The griffin fell silent suddenly.
"He" seemed to perceive it.
That Viscount Saxophone, that human!
After learning that the griffon was very close to the secret room, Sachs was so nervous that his breathing and heartbeat suddenly became louder, which easily attracted the griffon's attention.
Even griffons, whose perception has declined considerably, can sense it.
"There!" the griffin looked at the floor in the distance: it was above the Viscount Saxophone's secret room, and from this floor it would take several more underground rooms to reach the secret room where Sax was located, the griffon's eyes suddenly turned red, his pupils shrank, and a large amount of soul energy poured out of the griffin's body, and then the griffin roared, and a small black tornado suddenly appeared out of thin air, heading straight for the direction of the secret room!
Rumble!
The mechanism near the secret room was destroyed in an instant, and everything around it was suddenly destroyed.
The ground was destroyed, revealing several secret chambers underground.
One of the secret rooms was even destroyed by the griffon's energy tornado, and several people could be vaguely seen in the secret room.
The griffon passed directly through the sturdy walls of the chamber and entered the chamber.
I saw that there were still a few imhuman-looking and knocked out servants who had been tied up in the secret room...... It seems that these servants may have been used by the saxophone as a tool to attract the griffin's attention.
The griffin looked at the servant in front of her, slightly stunned.
Suddenly, when the griffin was slightly stunned.
The secret room suddenly opened, and a figure rushed out of the secret room, attacking the griffin.
The griffin suddenly felt a tremendous force exert on "him", as if trying to twist "his" body, and at the same time, the figure also stabbed at the griffin with a weapon.
It was Rhine, the butler of Viscount Saxophone.
On the side, Viscount Saxophone looked at the griffin with a strange smile, his face revealing a look of madness.
“...... Hahahaha, die!" sachs laughed maniacally.
However, Sachs's envisioned scenario in which the griffin was too late to defend itself and then was heavily wounded by Rhine did not materialize.
The griffin roared angrily, and with that huge force, he crashed away from the sudden attack, and Rhine was directly knocked away after being attacked, but he forcibly stabilized his body with the strength of the Soul Descendant, and did not make his body directly hit the wall, but a roll stopped retreating, but Rhine still spurted out a mouthful of blood because of this.
The griffin let go of Rhine and looked at Sachs slowly, with an indissoluble fire of hatred in his eyes.
“...... You, human, I said I would make you pay!" The griffon approached Viscount Sachs step by step, "I'm going to give you a taste of loss too...... Heh......"
"Let you watch yourself lose everything and go to hell!"
“...... You, don't come here!" Sachs suddenly became very flustered and frightened, and he still didn't expect that this griffin would be so persistent, so strong, obviously already injured.
In Sachs's plan, after the double weakening of Edith and the Night Veil, the griffin's power will be weakened to a low level.
As long as the griffin comes to attack at this time, taking advantage of the fact that the griffin is not familiar with the castle, and hides in the secret room, then the griffin will need to consume a lot of physical strength just to find him, and when the griffin finds the secret room, let Rhine take the opportunity to attack the griffin and kill the griffin!
However, plans have not kept up with the changes.
The griffon's strength is beyond Sachs's plans.
Sachs will eventually have to pay for everything he has done.
"Rhine, you shit, get up and save me!" Sachs looked at the approaching griffon in horror, his face growing pale.
The griffon raised its claws and fanned Viscount Saxophone.
Suddenly.
An equally powerful force caught the griffon's claws, causing the griffin to startle slightly.
The griffon lowered its head and looked at the comer.
In front of him was a black-clad young man with black hair and purple eyes, with a flirtatious and playful smile on his face, looking at the griffin without fear.
Fred.
It was Anos who arrived.
“...... You really did it, Viscount Saxophone. While Fred was blocking the griffin, Arnos also noticed the soul energy revealed by Rhine, which was exactly the same as the one that killed the guards in the first place.
"Why, you did this?" asked Anos.
"No, I didn't order it, I didn't do it, there must be some misunderstanding, you guys help me get rid of this monster!"
"Isn't that clear enough that your butler is a Soulborn?" Elsa shook her head, seeming disappointed in Viscount Sax.
"So what?!" Seeing that the truth was revealed, Viscount Saxe's face changed, and he said angrily, "It's just a lowly guard, how can he compare with me, a nobleman, he has influenced my plans, so what if I get rid of him?"
"This is just an internal matter in my territory, and I don't need you monster soul descendants to interfere!"
"What a ...... O degenerate who have been corrupted by the power of the aristocracy. Anos shook his head and stopped looking at Sachs.
"Human Soulborn......" the griffon growled, as she prepared to get rid of Fred.
“...... Father. A voice suddenly came from outside the secret room, a slightly immature voice.
It's a little Hippogriff.
Xia Zuo: They arrived.
The griffin slowly turned its head sideways and looked at the little fippling eagle outside the secret room, his eyes froze, and the strength in his body suddenly declined.
“...... Child. The griffin whispered.
