Chapter Ninety-Four: The Pretender

Green walked slowly along the muddy dirt road in the village, surrounded by several Broken Sword Guards. There are no drainage facilities in the big cities, and the sun is blocked by the valley all the year round, and a light summer rain often dissipates after a few hours outside, but here it is as if there is a flood, and the damp does not recede for a long time.

Although Assesis was the commander of Kunali, after all, he couldn't tell which were ordinary people and which were pretenders, so he divided the Broken Sword Guard into two halves, and the six people led by him surrounded Green, as long as there was something abnormal in the eyes of this highness, there was immediately a fierce sword guard to pounce on him. Such a situation is obviously rare in this poor mountain village, and for a while, the chickens and dogs jumped, and soon attracted the attention of the whole village.

As Green had predicted, not all of the village was full of pretenders, and the first minute the group entered, he didn't notice anything unusual, until a farmer passed in front of them, and Green suddenly realized in his heart, and the Broken Sword Guardian immediately took action, and sure enough, he had made a profit.

Another pretender.

Green's appearance soon alarmed the stagnant pool, and the "girl" of her kind was shocked by the predators, and most of them took the same measure - to escape. However, Assesis had already prepared, and all of these impostors were taken down by the other half of the Kunari Broken Sword Guards who were surrounding outside the village, while the remaining small part, some tried to resist, and after showing a strange mummy-like posture, they climbed onto the thatched roof with their hands and feet like spiders, and screamed and flew down to attack Grimm.

The flame shadow sword in the young man's hand turned-

The pretender, charred by the flames, fell stiffly to the ground, dead no more.

"Go on."

The boy's voice was cold, and the emotionless voice made people shudder.

This is not a neutral race survivor trying to survive. It's a spy who always wants to rise and accomplish the cause of chaos, as long as war breaks out. Sooner or later, they will cause a catastrophe, for these monsters who hide their bodies in the world. He won't be soft-hearted.

Seeing that the village he frequented turned out to be the lair of monsters, the aristocratic private soldiers who followed behind Green were all frightened, holding short sticks and iron swords in their hands, for fear that those half-human monsters would target him.

"Those eyes, those goddamn eyes!!"

The pretender in front of him was horrified to find himself exposed, and immediately roared at Grimm with hatred, his sharp fingers rubbing rapidly, as if desperate to gouge out Green's eyes.

"Asa." Green calmly ordered. Commander Kunali immediately assigned his guards to rush over, and the sturdy Broken Sword Guards quickly suppressed it, and Assesis walked over and cut off its head with a single sword.

"My lord, why are you slaughtering our innocent villagers......"

In the midst of the commotion, someone finally stood up to protest to Green. It was an old man with a white beard and a few simple rags around his body, revealing his bony body. He was carrying a wooden staff. His voice trembled as he spoke, and he was supported by a young man who also looked at Green with hatred.

"We pay our taxes on time and don't harass your 'high-ranking people' villages. We are good citizens, I beg you, my lord. Leave us alone. ”

The old man said with tears in his eyes, and he was about to kneel down for Green. Although the young man next to him had red eyes, he still knelt down with the old man.

The old man, who seems to be quite famous in the village. His kneeling caused all the villagers who were cowering on both sides to kneel down towards Green and his party, constantly bowing and pleading.

"What's going on, aren't we helping them?"

What happened in front of her completely violated Lilith's common sense, and the girl asked the people around her in a daze, if it weren't for the noble private soldiers behind her, she might have been frightened and fled.

Albert exchanged a moment with the captain of the private army behind him, and then whispered into Green's ear: "Your Highness, they think that we have used some kind of magic to turn those dead villagers into pretenders - you know, my clothes are very conspicuous. ”

"Maybe."

Green didn't nod or shake his head, he pressed his hand on the hilt of Flame Shadow's sword, and walked towards the old man step by step.

"Are you the elder of the village?" The young man narrowed his eyes and looked down at the old man condescendingly.

The old man fell to the ground, his skinny body trembling, "...... I'm too old to live, so I just ask the adults to spare these young people and children......"

Green snorted heavily, turned to the side, and looked at the obviously frightened aristocratic daughter.

"Lilith."

The girl looked up blankly, her inexplicable expression froze abruptly in Green's fierce gaze.

"You remember, the weak, don't always deserve sympathy."

In a short sentence, Green's words went against the common sense of the girl, but came from the mouth of this young man whom she admired. Reason told her that this was not right, but emotionally it was more inclined to the fact that Grimm did not lie, and the fierce struggle of thought was no worse than when he was ordered by the elders to leave the family and risk his family for Endymion.

But Green's sword cut off all her hesitation.

The flames burned out the air in the shadow of the flames, and slashed down in front of the old man and the young man.

"This old? Person? Home, do you really think I can't see it? Green dispersed the flame blade and looked at the old man who suddenly became agile and dodged the attack at the last moment, and the look of understanding was already written on his face, "It's really different, and even then it won't reveal its true face?" ”

"You must be the leader of the Pretenders."

The old man stared at Green with a gloomy expression, and the young man who jumped out behind him had been slashed to death by Green, scattering into a mummified bandage.

With a snap, the wooden staff in the old man's hand was crushed by him.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ How do you do it. ”

"Oh, it's not good not to answer the rhetorical question, I'll take it as if you admit it."

Green waved his hand, and his gaze fell on the people who were still kneeling behind the old man. The surrounding villagers were all shocked by the old man's sudden actions and were in a trance, and these few who were still kneeling were particularly suspicious. Assesis also noticed this and gave orders in secret. The Broken Sword Guards immediately moved to the sides, surrounding the old man and the few people behind him.

The old man's eyes were like dice in a Gu dice dirreling. Quickly take in the surrounding scene.

"Ah......h

Danger and hostility are not always superficial, weak, and may also be just a disguise.

It was at this moment that the young man's expression moved.

Phew――

The spherical white streamer suddenly slashed through, striking down on the old man's side and suddenly disintegrating a large amount of magic exploded, and the smoke and dust dispersed, revealing the corpse of a disguiser who had sunk into the ground and almost buried his entire body in it.

Green lowered his left hand. Dissipating the elemental fluctuations at hand, "Heh, you have a lot of skills, are you groundhogs?" ”

The old man's expression was even more gloomy, he threw away the half of the wooden staff, his bony body was constantly expanding like a blowing ball, and his body made a crackling sound like popping beans, and the wrinkled dry face on his face was lightly torn, revealing a head that was tightly wrapped in bandages and only showed an exceptionally large eyeball. A lock of white hair on his head is still hanging down on his head, which looks particularly weird.

This is undoubtedly also a pretender.

"Everybody stand back."

Green stared at the particular pretender, not needing to be reminded. The villagers were already screaming in fear and running in all directions, but these villagers, who were living in dire straits, burst out with a strong desire to survive at this moment of crisis. No one was so frightened that they were incontinent or collapsed, only a few villagers kneeling behind the old man remained motionless. I don't know what the conspiracy is, but the camp is obvious.

"Your Highness Green. Leave the situation here to Assesses, you are a noble person, and you can't always be in danger......" Hu Cong mage pasted, and pleaded earnestly.

Green looked at Albert with a warm smile.

"You're absolutely right."

Albert immediately let out a sigh of relief, glad that his persuasion had worked.

Unexpectedly, Green directly threw out the sharp fire on the flame shadow, and rushed directly towards the old man with a wave of his right hand!

"But hiding behind your backs isn't my style!"

The blade of the sword rose like a cold light piercing the lava flames, and approached the old man at great speed in the screaming wind, and the old man who revealed his disguised form let out a loud roar, "You ...... Damn Yadei Takeshi!! The two hands suddenly dispersed into a roll of bandages, and then strangely wrapped into a huge fist like a hammer, and smashed it fiercely at him after Green's attack!

Green raised an eyebrow.

The blade of the Flame Shadow was pressed down at the last moment, and the Sword of Segrete was forcibly suspended by Green before it could be activated - but it was not meaningless, because the boy's sudden change of direction not only missed the old man's fist, but even because of Green's superb understanding of swordsmanship, he was able to slam an arc upwards before he threw out the last bit of strength, and in a hurry, it was the most standard half-moon slash.

A wave of flame qi slashed in a circular arc!

"Humph!"

Green's swordsmanship was impeccable, and both Assesis and Albert were silently amazed in their hearts, and Lilith and the nobles' privates were even more amazed by it. It's a pity that in the face of this leader of the pretenders, the invincible situation of dealing with those pretenders who are not much stronger than ordinary people has been reversed for the first time.

The blazing flame blade exploded with a bang, and neither the flames nor the blade could shake the bandaged fists that the old man was blocking in front of him.

"It's a hard fist."

Green's face was not surprised, he smiled slightly, he had long expected that it would not be too easy, the test just now was just for him to get the results of the system inspection.

[Pretenders? Elite, level 40. Strength Evaluation: D, Unawakened]

The level is nearly twenty levels above himself, and it will be difficult to jump the level to fight monsters, but this does not make Green retreat in the slightest. The dignified Apostle Phantom, a level 60 creature, couldn't take advantage of his attack, let alone a level 40 pretender?

The young man quickly glanced at the system panel, the first stage of the Holy Envoy's task had been completed, he didn't have time to look at the requirements of the second stage carefully, and directly applied the energy level increase of the reward to the dexterity attribute.

The attribute of [E+] is displayed, and it officially flashes as [D-].

Hand-to-hand combat with me?

Green slammed open a sword, tearing a crack in the old man's fist, and then grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, and the difference between the one-handed knife and the two-handed knife was fully displayed in this head-on sword without any fancy.

Shadow Sword!

The old man did not hesitate to swing his fist head-on, but it could hit the blade of the sword, but it had no touch at all. It withdrew its fist in confusion, wondering how the figure of the young man in front of it had become a little blurred, when the stabbing sword wind suddenly struck from behind it.

Sword of Segrete!

"How naΓ―ve!" The old man roared, and his two arms were all bandaged, instantly forming a fist behind his head, like an impregnable line of defense, blocking Green's attack again, and in half a second, the bandage on the old man's head also squirmed quickly, adjusting his face to his back, "Even if you hide behind me, your sword can't ...... What the!? ”

In the old man's astonished gaze, the Flame Shadow Sword fell to the ground with a thud.

The sword was not held in the boy's hand, but was thrown.

Where is he?

The old man looked for it in a panic, and suddenly a spirit raised his head subconsciously, and a figure suddenly fell in the dark air, and he could vaguely see the appearance of the two hands clasped together into a fist, just like a falling meteor smashing and falling.

Melee combat? That's my patent! (To be continued......)
