Chapter 58: Branches
Who is it?!
Cold sweat spilled down Divano's forehead and back.
The night breeze of the winter Hokuriku blew, and the sword priest instantly became a spirit.
Both cold.
I'm afraid.
As a saber priest, Divano is quite confident in his own strength.
Even with his bare hands, he was sure to easily kill ten heavily armed soldiers, and without wearing 'residues'.
What if you wear 'residue'?
This number can rise tenfold.
Even, more.
Because, at his level, he has long ceased to be rough with the instinctive ability to use 'residue'.
After considerable learning and adaptation.
The 'residue' had begun to strengthen his body.
Unlike the ability to achieve immediate results, this reinforcement is much slower, but there are basically no side effects, and there is no need to complete the 'residue' replenishment.
Of course, depending on the 'residue', there will be a focus on the enhancement aspect.
For example, his 'Judgment Eye' is that after killing another chicken, he can gain a certain degree of 'enemy' presence.
Thus, with the beginning of the reinforcement, he has something unusual in terms of perception.
Just as he stood here, still a considerable distance from the warehouse, all the dark sentinels around him had already appeared in his perception, and nothing was missed.
But now, on the premise that he was wearing the 'residue', someone unknowingly 'removed' the 'residue' from his wrist.
What if that person is not taking 'residue', but something else?
More cold sweat appeared on Divano's body.
He was about to recall five of his subordinates at once.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, a figure slowly came from the opposite side.
Robes, old faces.
Corypo!
In an instant, Divano confirmed the identity of the other party.
As one of the priests of the sword, he knew very well about the members of the 'Silent Night Secret Order', except for those who had hidden themselves all the year round, especially those like Corypoe who often showed their heads.
So, he was sure that the other party did not have such ability.
But that doesn't mean the other side can't do it.
"It's all your trap?"
"It's you...... No, it must have been someone hiding in the dark, right? ”
Divano spoke gloomily.
The 'Silent Night Order' has seventeen councillors.
Except for Coripo, those guys who hide themselves are the ones who make people jealous.
Because, with the strength of the God of War Temple, I haven't found the information of these guys.
It's not just the strength, but I don't even know the name, gender, and age.
Listening to Divano's words, the superior evil spirit disguised as Coripo frowned secretly.
There is no doubt that something unexpected happened.
This is the situation it hates the most.
It's not that it's not confident in its ability to improvise.
In fact, when it comes to improvisation, the superior evil spirit is quite proud, that is the ability to survive as an evil spirit, but it is afraid of trouble.
If something can be done smoothly and there are no accidents, that is the most gratifying thing for it.
As for the trouble that arose?
That's going to have to be done with gritted teeth.
After all, none of these things are theirs.
It's the boss's.
"You've learned a lot about us."
The superior demon said in Corypoe's tone.
"Humph!"
"A bunch of guys who used to be in the company of rats."
"Even now, it's a bad habit!"
Divano snorted coldly, and then directly drew his long sword.
By this time, only one battle remained.
Di Vano didn't think Corypo would let him go.
And those five subordinates?
Since the other party has appeared here, then naturally everything is more auspicious.
Sou!
The broad-bladed longsword glowed with a layer of brilliance belonging to the god of war, and pierced the throat of the superior evil spirit with the sound of breaking through the air, and the speed was so fast that the sound of the blade breaking through the air was better like the sound of an arrow breaking through the air.
The upper demon spirit did not move, its neck was slightly off, and the blade of the sword almost grazed its neck.
Immediately afterward, the broad-bladed longsword that pierced straight turned into a sweep.
At the same time, Divano's right knee jerked up, like an antelope about to fight, showing its sharp horns.
Under the sweep of the long sword, whether it was leaning forward or sideways, or leaning back, no matter how high the evil spirit was, it could not escape this blow.
Leaning forward will hit him directly into his knee.
Sideways or leaning back?
The tense knees will stretch in the next moment, and the calves that are ready to go, driving the soles of the feet, are enough to kick and shatter a rock, not to mention the vital point of men.
Once the kick hits, it's really a broken egg.
However, Divano didn't think it would hurt the enemy in front of him.
Perhaps for an ordinary enemy, this is enough.
But, Corypo definitely can't!
You know, the other party is a member of the 'Silent Night Secret Society'!
Therefore, he had already prepared his hind hand when the broad-bladed longsword was pierced.
The brilliance that belonged to the god of war was not only attached to his sword, but also beat in his heart, flowing through his body with blood.
He wants to prevent being frozen by the other party!
And, be prepared to fight back.
Divano knows so much about Coripo.
It's so much that you can recite it backwards.
Personality may not be completely clear.
But the ability is clear.
That kind of sudden freezing has been mentioned repeatedly.
Therefore, Divano was very careful.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he didn't have the confidence to fight this mysterious freezing.
It's just that the next moment, looking at the upper-level evil spirit that was sideways, Divano was stunned.
But randomly, the sword-wearing priest was overjoyed.
Opportunity!
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Faced with this opportunity, Divano, who seemed to have escaped death, didn't think about whether this was a trap at all, and when the broad-bladed sword swept past the opponent's ears, the calf that was ready to attack was immediately kicked out.
Bang!
This kick shook the air.
The muffled sound was like a drum.
A sinister smile appeared on Divano's face.
Even the members of the 'Silent Night Secret Order' would definitely be seriously injured by such a kick like this.
And a seriously injured member of the 'Silent Night Secret Order' will definitely not be his opponent.
It's just that when the tips of his toes touched the superior evil spirit, Divano's face changed abruptly.
There is no sense of substance!
It's like kicking in the air!
The awkwardness of using the wrong force immediately shifted Divano's center of gravity.
Just as the sword priest tried his best to stand firm, the superior evil spirit appeared on the outside of the opponent's right arm, pinching the opponent's elbow joint with one hand and the opponent's wrist joint with the other, pushing and pulling inward.
Burst!
The sharp blade of the sword directly slit Divano's throat.
Blood spurted out.
Until he died, Divano couldn't believe that Corypo, who possessed the inexplicable ability of freezing, could move as if he were ghostly.
The other party with such speed?
Why didn't you kill me in the first place?
Surely I won't have room to fight back?
Is it playing tricks on me?
Such an infuriating answer made Divano's eyes widen.
It's a pity that it's useless.
The superior demon didn't even look at Divano again.
In fact, if it weren't for the brilliance of the opponent's god of war filling its body, it would have been killed directly with one palm as if it had killed the opponent's five subordinates.
You don't have to work so hard at all.
And now?
Something more worthy of the attention of the superior evil spirit has appeared.
It stared at the shadow where Divano had originally stood.
Under the special vision of the evil spirit, a bracelet with a bone texture was placed upright on the ground, as if half had been lost by a careless owner.
