Chapter 229: Swamp and Red Spirit
The soul of the fireproof woman was found inside the iron fence of one of the sewer exits. Perhaps this sewer has been abandoned for a long time, and it looks dry and there is almost no sewage flowing. Her soul lay there quietly, and even the sludge could not hide its sheer brilliance.
Orlan carefully picked her up and placed her in the palm of his hand, without any wiping, and it was her quality to be spotless. What is surprising is that although she is as pure as her, she has the power to purify the darkest and deepest curses in the world.
Oran couldn't help but think of how in his previous life, his fireproof woman did not hesitate to help him get rid of that "sin" from the darkness. It is better to remove the curse than to transfer the curse to that soul, and then the pain and torment in it will only be known to that soul......
Standing at the edge of the sewer, the sight was much more open and bright, and the light from the crack in the top was enough for them to see most of the underground cavern. Maybe above this rift is the Wyvern Valley, Orlan couldn't help but guess.
In addition to the wood-made villages, there are also huge stone pillar structures that seem to support the buildings of the Immortal Town or the Castle above, and the roots of giant trees with winding branches.
The bottom can already be seen, and there appears to be a pool of black water, and of course it could be a large muddy black swamp. In the middle, a "cocoon" resembling a filament-like crochet suddenly emerges, even the size of a small hill. There are even many thick spikes standing upside down on the "cocoon".
Could this be a nest? Oran felt the power that emanated from the massive cocoon-like hills, with a strong aura of fire. This flame is not as pure as a campfire, but mixed with a trace of chaotic tyranny and destruction...... Demon?
Could it be that the forces that kidnapped Yulia had something to do with the demons? But according to what Orlan had learned, shouldn't it be the abyssal serpent of Cass who was doing it?
It seems that no matter what gods and demons lie ahead, they will have to break through.
When the two of them finally stepped on the dirt again, it felt a bit bad to be honest, and the mud under their feet could even be said to be knee-deep. The rancid mud around him didn't know how many corpses had fermented, and Oran could feel the toxins accumulating and deepening.
Magic Healing, Orlan is trying to cast a very strange magic found in the sick village. You must know that in the Age of Ashes, the magic at that time was basically only the crystallized magic derived from dragon magic.
Regarding crystallization magic, there is no magic that can heal the body of an undead, in other words, crystallization magic is the white dragon's thing, and the white dragon does not care about the life or death of the undead.
I believe that the demon king of Lothric, Osroes, will deeply agree with Orlan's words, otherwise he would not have become the ghost of the dragon that is not human, and the dragon is not a dragon. But even if he knew that he was going to fail, maybe this guy would not return on the path of "turning into a dragon" anyway, after all, in addition to "passing the fire", this is also an option for Lothric......
Let's go a little further, let's talk about this magic scroll that involves "healing", which is indeed not magic, but a kind of magic. In addition to the spell casting, the ancient and magical text also states that it is magic from the ruins of Little Lund, and the words "sealer" and "Lenlva" are mentioned between the lines.
It seems that Lenlva is the owner of this magic scroll, he is a sealer, but he has come to the sick village, is he trying to use healing magic to help the humans in the sick village? What a great man, though he seems to have left his position.
Not long ago, while exploring the Sick Village, Orlan unexpectedly discovered this ancient and magical spell scroll. Removes the toxins accumulated in the body, weakens the bleeding degree of the wound, and the effect is outstanding, and even consumes less soul power than the same effect of divine magic.
In addition to this scroll, Orlan also found a maroon spellcaster set and a tin staff from a treasure chest. Perhaps this is the only relic of Renerwa.
……
Fighting in the swamp is tough, and it's clear that the monsters here won't spare the two of them so easily.
Floaters and spider monsters were no longer strange, but even more strange and dangerous were the stout, long-striped monsters hidden in the thick black mud, and when they jumped up and pounced on the two of them, Orlan realized that it might be a large leech. The surrounding mud was wriggling and surging, and it seemed that a lot of leeches had already arrived.
They can't be allowed to swarm in, it's too difficult to deal with melee combat in the mud. Flames began to erupt in Oran's hands, then swirled and rolled into fireballs that were thrown into the distance.
The leeches seemed to be covered in a layer of oil, and when they hit the fireball, they began to burn violently, followed by a tooth-aching hiss, only to see the black-streaked monsters shrink into charred balls.
However, the trouble was far from over, and a familiar wave of hostile soul power came from the clearing not far away, which was a sign that the Red Spirit was invading.
"We're in trouble, Ciri. I'll stop the intruders later, and you'll take care of the surrounding clutter. Oran looked at the red spirits in the air in front of him that were gradually condensing into entities.
Ciri nodded yes, knowing that these intruders were difficult to deal with, such as the Needle Knight she ran into in the sewers at the bottom of the Undead Town.
It looks like a woman, and like a butcher. Even as a spirit, she still wore the rag mask on her head, and a small linen cloth was wrapped around her chest and lower body.
But the most prominent thing was the cleaver in her hand, about which Orlan knew how sharp it was, especially when it came to cutting people, because their owners seemed to have a soft spot for human flesh.
It was evident that the woman and her machete were hungry and thirsty, and the shiny blade showed that she was ready to feast.
Orlan swung his sword to meet it head-on, and the machete smashed down head-on and immediately sparkled everywhere, and his strength was really not small. Seeing that he had not taken advantage of swinging the knife with one hand, the red spirit discarded the shield and held the front of the blade with the other hand.
Whether he wanted to use the machete as a sword, Orlan guessed correctly, one of the combat techniques of the machete is to hold the blade of the knife horizontally with both hands behind close range, and slash the enemy violently and quickly from top to bottom. However, the number of cuts and slashes is to cut the user's strength, such as those who bear the cage in the undead settlement, and the one-handed knife makes it fierce and unstoppable.
Since Orlan knew this trick, he also knew how to deal with it. When the huge machete struck again, Orlan had no intention of slamming it head-on at all, and after dodging sideways, he was already standing behind the red spirit.
For those who carry the cage, they rarely have weaknesses in their backs, but for the unclothed red spirits, the backstabbing is simple.
