Chapter 9: Cutting the Sword of the Evil Spirit
"Everyone! Thank you so much! If you hadn't rescued me in time, I would ...... My kids and I ......" The sluggish ghostly monster didn't take long to be shattered, leaving only the ground covered with vanishing black dander. The saved man and his two children bowed and thanked the benefactors.
"You're welcome." The guerrillas waved their hands haughtily, "It's a matter of duty...... It's good that you're okay with the kids. β
"However......" After continuously performing stunts to open the eyes of Laura and Haliga, the Klaus butler had already withdrawn the long sword, and there seemed to be no sweat on his body, which surprised the two people who were already tired and panting next to him, "This kind of monster ...... Or should I say it's a ghost...... But unheard of...... The lord never mentioned anything about it......"
"Well...... "Well, heliga, who was still panting, adjusted his physical strength, spoke, and also attracted everyone's attention, "It is said that there seems to be a blind spot covered by the elven faith near this ancient city, but it has been suppressed by unknown techniques all along...... In normal times, there would be no danger in this place, but at night when the yin qi is extremely fierce, it seems that there will be a resurgence of evil spirits......"
"How do you know?" Laura was even more confused, she had never heard of it before, and it sounded incredible. The others didn't ask, but they looked at Helriga with puzzled eyes.
"My father said that." There was no need to hesitate, and Helliga said lightly, "This place seems to be involved in the magic of the dark ages, but the appearance of the Iron Cavalry and the appearance of an unknown magician have suppressed this evil thing. These are recorded in the ancient books and local chronicles hidden in my father's study, he didn't like to go out before, and he often told me these stories when he was reading books in his study...... shrugged his shoulders, "It's just that all along, I only think of some crooked heresies brought about by the belief of elves, but I didn't expect to really experience it today." β
"In any case, this matter must be reported to His Excellency the Viscount in detail when I go back." The guerrilla who took the lead said earnestly. In the past, the Viscount's Mansion was still relatively open-minded to foreign tourists to visit here, but this time something like this happened, it seems that this castle should be closed for a period of time and open to the public, at least let His Excellency the Viscount personally investigate it carefully.
"Yes, everyone is already in a hurry, let's go back quickly, and talk about something slowly." The old butler's words put an end to the operation, and after the few people agreed, they all began to move downstairs.
During the process of going downstairs, several people did not perceive any strange monster aura at all, until everyone returned to the hall on the first floor and looked at the door of the basement that seemed to have been opened.
The two sides had another round of discussions and decided whether to go in and investigate? In the end, the guerrillas sailed back with the frightened men, while the old butler, Laura, and Heliga made a brief survey of the castle. Originally, the old butler wanted to conduct an investigation alone, and the guerrillas were also very relieved to know his high skills, but at this time, Heliga somehow had a rare stubborn temper and insisted on going with the old butler. And Laura, who couldn't let go of her heart, also decided to go with her.
"Remember, there may be some unknown danger here, don't touch anything inside when you go in, don't talk loudly, let's take a look around and come out as soon as we go. Also, remember to follow me and don't go it alone. The old butler whispered, while Laura and Haliga nodded in agreement.
Squeak - the stone door, which looked very heavy, was opened with just a slight push. The moss and dirt chips that were trapped in the cracks of the door also shook off with the rotation of the stone door. The three of them clenched their weapons, and Butler Klaus took the lead, gently descending the spiral staircase behind the door.
"Look, there's a picture on the wall." Through the faint light of the guiding lamp, Heiliga, who saw the exquisite murals on the wall, said to Laura next to him, and Lacra looked at it and nodded: "Well, it seems to be telling the story before the "Iron Cavalry", and there was a sense ......of longing in his tone.
"I remember that Lara's goal was to reach or even surpass the martial arts and achievements of the Holy Maiden of Guns, right?" Looking at Laura, who had fallen into idolatry, Helliga asked.
"Huh...... I'm still far from it. Laura, who is deeply influenced by the viscount, will not be arrogant, nor arrogant, but will always tell the truth, "But as a warrior, you must be brave in your goals." β
"Worthy of Laura." Heiliga chuckled softly, and the conversation with Laura was always very comfortable.
"But you, Hyliga, haven't you found your goal of becoming a warrior?" Laura asked rhetorically. She also asked the boy in front of her what he was practicing martial arts for, but the boy in front of her had never given such a firm answer as her words just now.
"Hmm...... The short-term goal is to try to solve this aberration. I haven't figured out the long-term goals yet. β
"That's right...... Then let's do a good job of doing a good job later. Laura said.
"Here we are." The old butler, who had been walking in front and listening to the conversation between the younger generations without making a sound, said softly. The two of them followed the prestige and couldn't help but be amazed by the scene in front of them.
In front of the three of them is a huge hall, with magnificent stone pillars on the left and right, with humanoid statues that look like wings, huge stone statues with strange shapes and an auditorium-like area standing in front of them, and small stone doors on the left and right that look like side halls. The walls of the entire hall are carved with frescoes, which at first glance are spectacular.
"It doesn't seem to be dangerous." The old butler, who had turned on the breath perception, carefully checked the surroundings to confirm that there was no threat in the surroundings, and the three of them also relaxed and inspected the hall together.
"Brave and fearless challenger...... Prove your courage and boldness, and you will receive the gifts and blessings of the lake spirits......" Helriga read the inscriptions that could be seen everywhere, "This must have been left behind by the Iron Cavalry at that time, and it looks very similar. β
After some exploration, apart from the inscriptions and spectacular scenes that can be seen everywhere, the three of them have not found anything special. The old butler said, "It seems that there will be nothing to gain today, let's go back quickly." β
The two of them answered, and just as the three of them pulled their legs and headed towards the entranceβ
Boom! The stone door to the spiral staircase suddenly closed quickly!
The three of them were startled, and immediately rushed to the stone gate in three steps and two stepsβ
"Damn, what's going on......" Heiliga, who rushed to the stone gate first, after slamming the stone door twice, found that the door was unresponsive, and turned around a little eagerly, only to find that something appeared in front of Laura and Klaus, who were following closely-
"Look!" Laura, who heard Heliga's shout, and the old butler, who sensed something, turned around in unisonβ
"Hmm......" The old butler's brows furrowed, and Laura's hands clenched the sword tighter by three pointsβ
Because, there are several huge ghosts twisting and forming in the hall!
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
"Whew, whew, whew......" Wiping the sweat from his head, Heliga completely ignored the pain of being burned by the ghost fire, and raised his head to look ahead, "This strange thing seems to be smarter than what I just encountered......"
It is not for nothing that Heliga makes such a judgment. The moment the three of them discovered that the huge ghost had formed, they acted quickly. Helliga and Laura, who are known to cause no damage to them with physical attacks, move to the left and right, trying to attract the attention of these monsters with their feints; And Klaus, who has the power to inflict damage on them, uses his majestic true qi again, preparing to perform several deadly stabs on these monsters.
However, unlike the little ghosts they had just encountered at the bottom of the tower, these big guys completely ignored the feints of Laura and Heliga, and the three formed ghosts quickly moved towards Klaus, who was only one-fifth of their height, and the two of them, who were too close to the big ghosts and had no fighting spirit, were burned by the ghost fire to varying degrees.
It's just that the performance of Klaus's butler at this time told Laura and Heliga why this old man, who was over sixty years old, was still able to serve as the general acting master of the "Alsside Stream".
Light steps, dodging the scorching of the ghost's fire, precise stabbing to peel off the ghost's shell, swift oblique slash tearing the ghost's flesh and bloodβ
The posture of the Klaus butler was calm and firm, and all kinds of high-level swordsmanship were used, and the flames and winds scattered in all directions. In less than five minutes, three large, terrifying-looking ghosts dissipated into the air.
"It's worthy of the master!" "Well done, Mr. Klaus." The two onlookers praised the old man happily, but found that the old man who had ended the battle was rushing towards him at this time, and the expression on his face was not relaxed at all: "Be careful! Behind! β
The two quickly set up their weapons and turned around, but they felt a huge impact, Laura barely stood firm with the hardness and superior strength of the big sword, but just shook off her sore hand, and although Helriga also put on a defensive posture in time, she was still knocked out by the unknown object, and the weapon in her hand also fell aside.
"Gargoyles!" Butler Klaus was alarmed, this monster from the Dark Ages was not as slow as the ghost, but a monster with far more strength and agility than ordinary people! It's like a beast that hasn't been domesticated in any way.
"Roar!" The gargoyle let out a strange roar, and seeing that the gargoyle who had succeeded in the sneak attack was willing to let go of the prey in front of him, the two monsters ran towards the boy and the girl respectively. Laura had bravely picked up the big sword at this time and fought with the monster in front of her, although she was completely suppressed, but at least she could hold on for the time being, and the boy-
"Heliga!" "Master Hailiga!" Laura, who was busy dealing with another gargoyle and couldn't pull away, and Klaus, the butler who hadn't arrived in time because he was too far away, could only watch the gargoyle baring its hideous fangs pounce on the young man in front of him-
"Are you going to die?" Listening to the eager cries of the two people around him, and feeling the monster in front of him sweeping towards him, the young man closed his eyes-
How can it be!
When I opened my eyes again, my pupils were scarlet. And a short sword with a glittering magic stone on the hilt, the blade of the sword is made of unknown material, and it flashes with a red glow, and I don't know when it appeared in the young man's hand-
The boy opened his mouth β

PS: Only the dawnbreaker of the light mother appeared at the end... Originally, I wanted to add a scene where the protagonist cuts the undead with the Dawnbreaker, but it turned out that the previous plot was already 3K+ after writing...... Let's make it up later
PS2: The next chapter will begin to enter an old rolling plot, and every time the protagonist in the main line of the trajectory series masters a special skill or uses a special weapon, I will insert a plot related to the old roll in due course to make up for the related story~ The story of the Dawnbreaker should not be long, and it will be finished in 2-3 chapters. By the way, these interspersed stories are not in the order in which they were obtained in the old rolling timeline.
