Chapter 4: Ghost Rider
Nataya didn't answer me, she called a few heavily armed mercenaries and prepared to go out to meet this unknown group of enemies.
I noticed that the sorceress in front of me had such a determined side, so I decided to go with Nataya and the others to find out.
I told Avina to stay here first, and I grabbed Kelvin's Demon Hunting Crossbow.
"I don't know what Heated has taught you, Laric, but the rest of the matter may not help you. ”
"I'm not going to hold you back. My expression was also resolute, and at the same time I pulled the demon hunting crossbow in my hand to the bowstring.
"Well, I admire your courage, let's go. Nataya said cleanly to the other heavily armed mercenaries.
In this way, a group of seven of us walked towards the entrance of the secret base.
"Kelvin, if we can't be back in an hour, open the base's defensive barrier and leave us alone. ”
Nataya left these words and led a few of us to the entrance of the secret passage.
Avina's eyes were a little rosy, and we had been dependent on each other along the way, and after such a big change together, she began to be a little reluctant to leave me.
The seven of us cautiously walked out of the room, and quickly found a place to hide so that we could observe the situation in the dark.
To be honest, this is the first time I've worked with so many people, and I'm still a little nervous. And the enemy we're going to face is unknown, but it doesn't look like a good stubble.
The streets of the town struck me as eerie, for night had fallen, and the moonlight seemed so monstrous in the darkness of the night.
"What the hell is it?" I have experienced many strange things since I was a child, but this is the first time that my heart is filled with fear.
Suddenly, a dark green fire lit up a nearby house. What kind of flame was it, as if it came from the underworld.
What happened next surprised the seven of us, and about a few hundred knights with a faint green glow and rotting all over their bodies were skeletons. The knights' horses were also skeletons, and the armor on their bodies was as tattered as ancient weapons, but the green light that shrouded them made people shudder.
Nataya motioned to us not to act rashly, and we nodded in response, and everyone did not dare to gasp.
One of the hundreds of knights looked like their leader, because the armor on his body was a little more high-end than that of the other knights, and it looked like a nobleman, but it was also tattered.
It suddenly occurred to me that they were supposed to be the ghost riders recorded in the ancient books. Oh my God, this is a monster that only exists in legends, how could it appear "alive" in our world.
According to the book, the Evil Ghost Knight was originally the cavalry guard of His Majesty the Ancient Holy Emperor, but later betrayed the Ancient Holy Emperor for unknown reasons in a major battle. As a result, the Ancient Emperor was killed in battle, and before he died, the Ancient Emperor cursed the army so that they could never be reborn. Since then, the force has disappeared, with only occasional accounts of their words.
It can be said that the Ghost Riders are undead, they are undead, and at the same time, their strength is also extremely powerful, which is not something we can compete with at all.
In this way, we waited quietly, because we all knew the disparity in each other's strengths.
In the end, the group of ghost knights from the Netherworld did not attack us, they seemed to have something important to do, and left the town of Bohip in an orderly manner, heading west.
After all the Ghost Riders passed, I was paralyzed and felt weak in my limbs, probably because of the overtension in my nerves.
"It's the third day, and just three days ago it was this group of undead who suddenly appeared to attack the town of Pohip. A mercenary in heavy armor and armed with a shield sword said.
The man was brown-haired, burly, and good-looking, and I later learned that his name was Frank Davis, and that he had been a knight of the Order.
"And their number and quality are growing exponentially, just the sudden appearance of less than ten evil spirits on the first day has cost us most of our mercenaries, if it weren't for Nataya, we would all be dead. Another mercenary said
"There must be something strange about this, so many undead creatures have suddenly arrived, is the end of the world coming? I think I will wait for the head of Heated to wake up, and then discuss this matter with him. Nataya was also scared into a cold sweat just now.
"Let's go back. Nataya smiled faintly at me, let's go back to the secret base and think about it in the long run.
But something we didn't expect happened, a ghost rider suddenly rushed out of nowhere, and our nerves had to tense up again at this moment.
"Prepare to fight!" Nataya shouted, her hands already condensed into a searing fireball.
"Bang!"
The scorching fireball smashed on the Ghost Rider's body, but the Ghost Rider seemed to be transparent, and the fireball pierced directly through his body and landed on the roof of another room, and the flames suddenly ignited.
The rest of the mercenaries also rushed over, and a terrible scene occurred.
"Poof" A mercenary with a silver sword in his hand was directly shaved away by the Evil Ghost Rider with his rusty two-handed sword.
The mercenary's head rolled down the ground several times, blood splattered on our faces, and at that moment we were really close to death.
Several others also reddened with anger, brandishing their weapons and slashing desperately at Ghost Rider. Not surprisingly, they seemed to be slashed into the air, with no effect at all.
However, the Ghost Rider's greatsword showed no mercy at all, brutally piercing their bodies.
In an instant, it was just me and Nataya, and Frante. The other four mercenaries who were still with us just now collapsed in a pool of blood. They are heroic and fearless, only their enemies are too strong.
Just as Ghost Rider was about to slash his greatsword at Frank, my Demon Hunter Crossbow had already begun to fire.
"Puff puff" silver-plated crossbow bolts rained down on Ghost Rider's body
This time it finally worked, and I beat Ghost Rider's body to pieces. But if you think he's going to die so easily, you're wrong.
Ghost Rider's body quickly returned to its original state, and Frant blocked Ghost Rider's attack with his shield and slashed at Ghost Rider's head with his sword.
With a screeching sound, the Ghost Rider disappeared silently, perhaps this is the final destination of an undead soul.
But unexpectedly, the vanished Ghost Rider suddenly appeared behind me.
"Be careful!" Nataya's face pale, for the great sword in the Ghost Rider's hand was about to take my life......
