Chapter Thirty-Six: The Flower of the End

The bustling world was plunged into a burning hell in an instant, and with wails and roars, the craggy demons surrounded the entire manor, appearing in the shadows everywhere.

The nobles have never seen such an abomination, the erosion of the distorted mind began to spread with the invasion of the demon, most of the people had great fear at the first moment they saw the demon, and some even fainted directly, a small number of guards tried to pick up their guns to resist, but when aiming, they would inevitably look at the demon, and then the trembling hand made the muzzle of the gun lose its target.

The demons spread like a virus, spreading wantonly.

Seleuc hid in the shadow in the corner, and it was clear that the scene was already so chaotic, but there was no panic on the girl's face, as if she didn't know fear.

At first, she was about to follow Lorenzo, when Lorenzo's god was very wrong, as if something terrible was about to happen, and as Seleuc thought, the flood of demons swallowed everyone in an instant.

Fortunately, it was a grand ball, with a certain level of security, and the sound of wailing was mixed with the sound of gunfire, but the sound of gunfire gradually withered, and it seemed that they could not last long.

Seleuc didn't know what these monsters were, but judging by the strange sense of oppression on them, they must not be a good thing, she slowly stepped back, holding a candlestick in her hand, the fire had been extinguished, but judging by the heavy feel, it was a good blunt weapon.

Her innate sense of weak presence worked at this moment, and countless demons were seen rampaging through the vast manor, but none of them found Seleuc in the shadows.

Probably a skill learned in the early years of Gaulnalo's life, Seleuc was better than anyone else, after all, who would have thought that this noble duchess would have been a wild dog nesting in a garbage heap at the end of the alley a few years ago.

Slowing down her breathing, Seleu was like a dark elf, jumping in the shadows, her goal was outside the manor, as long as she escaped from here, with the complicated streets and alleys of the old Dunling, even if she ran with those monsters, Seleucus would not be left behind, of course, provided that these damn burdens were removed.

Those expensive headdresses were removed by Seleu one by one, and thrown on the ground at random, and with these things, Seleu felt like he was carrying a precious metal platter on his head, heavy and obstructive, and these things were also reflective, which could easily reveal the position of Seleu.

Then he picked up the knife and cut the skirt vigorously, this thing was so heavy that Seleu wore it like a bloated penguin, and he couldn't run fast at all.

I don't cherish this delicate dress, if its designer sees it, he will definitely rush out and fight with Seleu, but Seleu doesn't care about this, and finally relaxes, and then his brisk body walks through the shadow.

She didn't know the exact map of the manor, but Seleuc remembered the way she came, and she was always planning her escape route.

To leave here she had to pass through the courtyard and the manor's castle, and between the gate there was an unobstructed road, but behind the road were rows of carriages.

Seleuc had to find a way to get there, and although she was not very tall, during her life in Gaulnalo, Lorenzo taught her how to ride a horse and how to climb out of her dead.

The half-dead demon suddenly rushed out from the other side of the field of vision, and it looked like it had been attacked before, with several large bullet holes in it, and blood gushing out of it.

The strong have the way of survival of the strong, and the weak also have the means of survival of the weak.

The cold girl instantly became dry, she didn't wait for the half-dead demon to launch an attack, she rushed forward first, and her thin body actually knocked the demon down in the collision, unlike the weakness on the surface, Seleu clenched the candlestick in his hand, as if he was holding his own fate, and smashed it down.

The demon struggled to writhe, but was suppressed by this thin body, all kinds of indescribable threads rose in the bottom of Seleuc's heart, so close to the demon, the strange erosion was oppressing her spirit, but this was not a reason for her to stop.

Gritting his teeth, repeating mechanically again and again, venting his anger until he smashed the demon's head into a puddle of mud.

Seleucus stood up slowly, the white dress was now completely dyed red, and the scarlet roses were in full bloom.

"Isn't this still dead?"

The body that has lost its head is still slowly writhing, Seleuc has never seen a demon, and he doesn't know that this kind of thing needs to destroy the heart, otherwise with the life force of the demon, it can continue to act for a while, and some powerful demons can even survive in the case of losing the head, and then use that terrible life force to restore the head.

Seeing that she couldn't completely kill the demon, Seleu walked and ran directly, even if she was cold in her heart, she felt unspeakable fear at this moment, and countless footsteps sounded in her ears, and as time went by, it became clearer and clearer, Seleu was not sure if it was an illusion or reality.

If it was a hallucination, she undoubtedly encountered something at some point, but she didn't realize that if it was reality, then countless demons were coming at her at this moment.

Isolated and helpless in hellish conditions, she began to feel that she was gradually changing back to what she used to be, not a Stuart Seleuc, but a beggar Seleuc on the street.

The so-called glory and power, she never really desired, in this desperate situation she began to miss the life of the fugitive, in Seleuc's opinion, the moment Lorenzo kicked open the door, the moment the sun shone on her face, the so-called Seleuc really came to life.

Beyond the complex courtyard Seleucus rushed into the tall castle, the highest point of which overlooked every corner of the manor.

Her steps began to stagger, and there was a scar on her foot, which looked like a wound left by the demon as she struggled, which Seleu hadn't noticed at the time, and now the pain was starting to kick in.

Seleuc suddenly realized that she might not be able to leave the manor, and she didn't think she was going to die, she wouldn't give in so easily, and climb the stairs, the labyrinthine rooms of the castle might be able to delay the demons for a while.

She gasped violently, panic and injuries draining her strength, and at the end of the corridor, the demon slowly walked out.

Like a duel, at the end of the corridor were Seleus and demons, several decorated knight armor erected on both sides of the corridor, guarding the small dueling arena, Seleucus calmed his breath as much as possible, and then reached for the knight's armor next to him, and removed the decorated sword.

The blade was still too heavy and huge for Seleuc, dragging it with great effort, although it was hard, but it was better than the candlestick, and the demon in front of him was unscathed, obviously not the kind of goods he had just encountered.

Fingers lightly brushed the blade of the sword, it was a pity that this decorative sword did not have a sharp edge, with the power of the Seleuc, ordinary slashes would definitely not be able to hurt the demons, so the only attack that worked was the stabbing attack.

But this sword was so heavy, Seleuc obviously couldn't control it freely, so she only had one chance, a fatal chance, to deal a heavy blow to the demon, otherwise she would become food for the demon.

The two sides moved in tacit understanding, charging towards each other, the demon's twisted body resembling a human form but with the appearance of a beast, slender claws scratching the ground vigorously to get faster speed.

Seleuc was much slower, and she struggled to raise her blade, looking for an opportunity to stab.

All the attacks were completed in an instant, and at the moment when he was close to the demon, Seleuche fiercely charged with the blade, sliding forward with a short momentum, and at the same time raised the blade diagonally, leaning back and pressing against the ground.

This was the only tactic she could think of at the moment, if the demon pounced on her, it would inevitably be pierced by the diagonally raised blade, and her own efforts to lean back would reduce the damage to the greatest extent.

Everything was as she thought, the demon jumped high, but the moment it swooped, the sharp grappling hook cut into the wall, and the demon actually made a strange turn in mid-air, and then landed on Seleuc's back, as light as a hunting cheetah.

The time of death had come, and at this moment Seleucus could already think of the picture of the claw piercing herself, but she did not have any fear of death, she could not feel anything in the face of the danger of death, but turned her head vigorously to witness the falling claw.

The claws fell, and for a moment there was a grinding of steel between them, and the sound shook violently, and then the knight who had been standing honestly on either side of the corridor moved, and the old armor brought a fierce howling wind, and the heavy decorative sword was picked up for a month and a half, and slashed from behind it as if it were executed at the same time as the demon attacked.

"Attack its heart!"

There was a shout from under the armor.

Seleuc didn't expect that there was a person hidden in the decorated armor, but the next moment his thoughts were interrupted by action.

The suddenly falling blade slashed fiercely at the demon's neck, but the unopened blade could not completely cut into the blood, but only cut into a few points like a steel plate under the kinetic energy of the swing.

But it was this blow that gave Seleu a crucial chance to escape, and the falling claws were deflected by the pain, and Seleu held the blade to his knees on the ground, and then pointed the tip of the sword against the heart of the demon's mouth.

"Go on!"

Seleuc roared in disarray, and the knight lifted and dropped the heavy blade as if striking a stake at the demon's neck, and the demon's body sank under the impact of the slash, and then the tip of the sword pierced its mouth.

Seleucus grabbed the sword lattice below, and lifted the blade upwards with force, and the knight above was also constantly slashing, although it was not sharp enough, but in the knight's opinion, a few more slashes would always cut.

With the cooperation of the two, the demon struggled weakly for a while, until the blade fell for the first time, and finally cut off the head.

This is probably the most aggrieved demon to die, the whole neck has been hammered into mud, the bones are broken into I don't know how many pieces, the corpse is weakly pressed against the blade of the sword, and Seleuc crawls out from under the corpse with difficulty.

After all this, the knight also collapsed to the side, and the two looked at each other, giving each other a thumbs up after a brief silence.

"Come with me, you can't stay here for long. ”

After a short rest, the knight stood up, his armor scraping between them with a rattling sound.

"What is this thing?"

Seleuc nodded, dragging his injured foot to his feet.

"Demon ...... You probably won't understand it, but think of it as a mythical monster that can only be killed by cutting off the head and destroying the heart. ”

The knight explained, clenching the blade of her sword, which looked like a mace from the way she used it.

Before the two could talk any more, more footsteps came from all directions, and the knight took off her stuffy helmet, her fiery red hair spread down, she clenched her sword, and looked at Seleuc, who was a little surprised.

"What, is it a surprise?"

The girl looked around very vigilantly, although the blade in her hand was not sharp, but there was always an inexplicable sense of security when she held it tightly.

"Nothing. ”

Seleuce leaned on the blade of his sword, leaning back against the girl and observing the back, countless shadows in the shadows were moving, all of them looking like demons.

"Actually, you impress me, Seleuc. ”

A faint wail sounded, and the girl was not afraid, but began to talk to Seleuc.

"You know me?"

Seleuc didn't expect this person to actually know him.

"Yes, the future duchess of the Stuart family, they say that you are a lucky one, from a beggar to the sky, I thought you were a cowardly little princess, but I didn't expect to be ruthless. ”

I don't know if she was complimenting or mocking, Seleuc asked coldly.

"And who are you?"

"Eve Phoenix, when my overprotective dad is gone, I'll be a duchess too. ”

Eve said unceremoniously, but when she thought of Duke Phoenix's awesome body, she felt that he could last for many years, and she was a little disappointed.

"They look like a lot, do you have any ideas?"

With a shuddering aura, the demon in the shadow crawled out slowly, but this time there was more than one.

"This kind of thing is afraid of fire. ”

Eve remembered what Lorenzo had told herself, and then looked at the sides of the corridor, because the castle was old, and many places were not lit, or maybe it was for the old solemnity, the candlesticks were burning flickering.

Seleuc whispered.

"This is Duke Salicado's favorite estate. ”

"Do you think he would like to live with so many people?"

Listening to Eve's words, the two girls turned their heads and looked at each other, although they didn't say it explicitly, but they showed the same smile in their hearts as if they had completed a tacit conversation.

Just like meeting a rare soulmate, such knowledgeable people are not so easy to meet.

The demon began to approach, and it was also at this moment that the two girls swung their sword blades at the same time and smashed them at the candlesticks on both sides, and the flames directly ignited the precious carpets and curtains, which may be the preciousness of the materials, and the fire rose very strongly.

But that wasn't the end of it, the two girls, like arsonists, grabbed the remaining candlesticks and set fire to everything they could burn.

It was like a riotous escape, the demons hesitated to attack after the sea of fire, and while they hesitated, two blades smashed through the sea of fire and hit the demon, although they could not kill it, but the demon was also knocked down by the attack, and the two girls leaped out of the sea of fire, spreading the flames to every corner of the castle with their movements.

The fire spread, setting the entire castle on fire.
