Chapter 57: The Battle of the Strange Hands
The moon outside the window seemed serene and quiet, and the atmosphere could not help but make the soldiers guarding the entrance to the Grand Theater of Egrim drowsy, and at this moment, they could not imagine what was going on inside the theater. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Hundreds of strange hands silently surrounded Lucia, Rhodes, and Louis, trapped in the corridor on the second floor. They gradually shortened their encirclement, and it seemed that they were about to attack. Rhodes and Louie's swords were long unsheathed, and they were engrossed in every subtle movement of the strange hands, ready to slash at them at any moment, and in their opinion, a fierce battle was about to begin.
Lucia's brows furrowed, until now, she still couldn't tell which sect this monster in the shape of a strange hand belonged to, but judging by her instincts, these strange hands were not so easy to destroy. What Lucia cares about the most is the eye in the palm of these monsters, which adds a layer of weirdness to the already weird appearance.
Like Lucia, these eyes were even more unsettling to Louie, who constantly remembered the deaths of the three soldiers, and Louis judged that it must have something to do with the strange hand, but unlike Lucia, he had no magic and could only hold the hilt of his sword and be ready to improvise.
Just as everyone's strings were tightened, suddenly Rhodes took a step forward, and with a flash of his sword, he slashed at a strange hand. Rhodes' speed has always been stunningly fast, and now that he uses dual blades, his speed is even more amazing! After two consecutive slashes, several severed hands were cut in half. Rod, who had taken the lead, planned to take advantage of the victory and chase after him and kill a few more, but the situation changed.
The strange hand that was crawling forward with the back of his hand just now suddenly stopped. Five fingers hit the ground like playing a piano, and hundreds of hands worked together, and the sound was like a drum, and the human brain was buzzing. Although the sound was huge, it was already in the large theater with strong sound insulation, and such a sound could not be transmitted to the outside at all, and only Lucia and the three of them were disturbed by it.
Suddenly, the sound stopped. All the strange hands used their wrists as fulcrums, and their palms stood up impressively, revealing the strange eyes in their palms. For a while, there were hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at the three of them, and they couldn't help but feel their scalps tingle, and they suddenly felt the cold wind swishing behind them. At this time, those strange hands shook together, and the eyes in the palm of his hand shook together, and Rod, who had been staring at those eyes, suddenly felt a violent dizziness, as if it was not the strange hands shaking in front of him but the entire Grand Theater. He shook his head, trying to shake off the discomfort, but it had the opposite effect, the intense feeling of vertigo caused him to lose his center of gravity, and his body leaned back diagonally.
Feeling the pressure from Rod, Lucia suddenly realized, and she shouted, "Don't stare at the eyes! But apparently it was too late, the double knife fell to the ground with two "booms", and Rhodes fell down, and Louis behind him hugged him, knelt down, and then looked at Rhodes's eyes closed and unconscious.
Just as Rhodes fell, hundreds of strange hands instantly attacked, like a flood of beasts, swooped down on Louis who was kneeling on the ground and Rhodes in his arms, and at the last moment, a strong wind roared like a dragon, flipped and rolled up between the strange hands, savagely pushed them back, and in an instant their ranks were scattered, some were blown to the first floor, the other part was forced to the wall, and the skin was broken because they could not withstand the wind, and some simply clenched their fists, Scroll around reads;.

Strong winds raged in the theater, of course, in addition to the monsters, the decorations and displays in the theater were not spared, "crackling" down, tables and chairs also overturned, a mess. In the center of the strong wind, red hair stood on end like a fiery serpent in a gale, and Lucia stood with her feet apart, shielding Louis and Rhodes from her "Wind Curse".
Seeing this situation, Louis couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart. But the good times did not last long, and the wind suddenly weakened, and as Lucia's eyes turned from red to green, the wind dragon completely lost its trace. Lucia sat down as she sat down after the spell, feeling hunger once more, and realizing that she was about to run out of power.
Although the "Wind Curse" blew away the strange hands and eliminated a lot, there were still about 200 people who escaped this catastrophe and gathered around the three of them again. However, Lucia's efforts bought them some time, and Rod woke up.
"What happened?" As soon as Rhodes woke up, he found himself lying on Louie's lap, and he sat up and looked around.
"I thought I could use our swords to deal with them, with your and my abilities, but who knew they still had this hand." Louis said as he helped Rhodes to his feet.
"Don't be careless," Lucia stood up, looking around, "I don't think they're done yet!" ā
Louis nodded and said, "If you hadn't rescued us just now, I'm afraid we would all have been skinned at this time." ā
"Now we're grasshoppers tied to a rope," Lucia said solemnly, "and I'm pretty much done with my spiritual power." She turned her head and saw that a strange hand had crawled nearby, and said to herself, "What kind of monster is it?" ā
Picking up the double knives on the ground, Rhodes wiped the blades against each other and said, "As long as this thing can be hacked to death by a knife, it won't be destroyed." He turned to Louis again, "It's okay not to look at those bullshit eyes, I'll hack them like I close my eyes!" ā
Listening to Rod's words, a smile appeared on Louis's face: "This is a way, listen to the sound to judge their trajectory, this kind of play is also new." ā
With a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, Rod raised his twin knives, and with a "look at me", he closed his eyes, and threw the short knife out with his wrist, and the short knife spun rapidly in the air, splitting a strange hand in two, and plunging straight into the floor. At the same time, Rhodes rolled over and jumped into the middle of the strange hand with a thunderous speed, and slashed off a strange hand that was coming at him. Then, he kicked his right foot at the hilt of the short knife stuck on the floor, and the short knife flew up in an instant, killing a nearby strange hand, and landed right in Rod's hand.
With two knives in hand, Rhodes is even more powerful, his body dodges the attack of the strange hand between the dexterous tossing and turning, the left-handed knife rises and the right-hand knife falls, full of tricks but does not lose the order, because the blade rotates extremely fast, it is dizzying, and the strange hands that were cut down fell like a goddess scattering flowers.
Seeing this situation, Louis couldn't bear it anymore, closed his eyes, swung his long sword, and stabbed at the strange hand. Louie's speed is not worse than Rhode's, but his long sword is not suitable for hand-to-hand combat, so it is not as sharp as a double sword, but his sword edge is erratic, his body is more flexible, and the strange hand can't even get close.
As if sensing that the situation was unfavorable, the monsters stopped their chaotic attacks one after another. They lit up the strange eyes in their palms again. From the very beginning, Lucia felt strange and unanimous, but she couldn't do it, and at this moment, she suddenly realized! I see, all along, she regarded these strange hands as individuals, and wondered where they came from. From the very beginning, it is unbelievable that they have acted in unison at a certain moment, and that they have acted in unison at some point, to this extent it cannot be explained by the word "tacit agreement" alone.
At that moment, the eyes of all the strange hands lit up together, and I saw that the eyes were getting bigger and bigger, rapidly expanding to the entire eye socket, only black but not white, and the strange eyes of the black hole became more and more weird. Suddenly, a silver thread erupted from the center of the black hole, saying that it was a silk thread, but the speed and strength made it more like a hard silver needle, stabbing straight into the brains of Rod and Louis.
"Be careful!" Lucia shouted, and the two of them couldn't help but open their eyes, but they saw that the thread needle had arrived in front of them, and after some dodging and dodging, they barely suffered a loss. The thread unloaded its strength and fell, turning green pus wherever it touched.
"Not good! Poisonous! Louis shouted. The two of them couldn't help but take a step back, skimming each other's shoulders out of the corner of their eyes, seeing that their clothes had now begun to tear due to the silver threads they had just touched, and the poisonous water was seeping inward through the cracks in their clothes.
Louis finally knew how the three guards died, and although the case was solved on the surface, he felt unprecedented pressure with a strong enemy in front of him.
