Chapter 36 - The Curse of the Darkness
"Gwendrin's Phantom? No wonder Harks was so distracted that he would ask about Gwendrin. β
A few days later, Lu Ming took a bow and carried a quiver full of moonlight arrows, and walked in the Helen Forest outside Paris with Sham Hatu and several magicians and warriors of the Hatu family.
Because of the relationship between the moonlight arrows, Lu Ming's phantom of Gwendrin appeared on his body again and again, and was told to Lu Ming by the visible Sham. As for those like Dirks that they were worried about, Sham was completely unworried.
Because of some things about Gwendlin, when Kanina first came to the house, she had already heard Lu Ming talk to herself about Gwendrin who was eaten by Eldridge. ' thing.
"Sham, wait, if we encounter a monster that we can't deal with, we will retreat. Don't take stupid risks here. β
"I see."
The main purpose of Lu Ming and his party when they came to Helen Forest was to find the source of the darkness that polluted the digging pigs.
From Sham's side, Lu Ming already knew that the spirit in Paris City was summoned from another world by the Amani tax collector who had a grudge against Lu Ming. Moreover, Yusaha and her mother, Countess Luyanali and Sham's father, the former Viscount Hatu, are involved. So which side of them is right and which side is on his side, Lu Ming can't tell at all.
However, compared to Yu Sahalai, Sham is still more trustworthy in Lu Ming's heart. At the very least, she's not the kind of person to keep him in the dark.
Not long after Lu Ming and the others went deep into the forest, they encountered a pile of corpses. A pile of bones of a freshly dead human.
Because he couldn't accept that miserable and terrifying scene, Lu Ming didn't come close to check, and Sham just asked his men to check it.
"Those corpses are knights of Viscount Saldaro Hetiste. They were all bitten to death by a beast! In addition, we found some blood stains and footprints nearby, and there must be survivors nearby! β
Listening to the report from his subordinates, Sham glanced at Lu Ming on the side, and when he saw that he nodded, he immediately ordered his subordinates: "Let's go find them!" β
"Yes!" With Sham's order, his men immediately ran in the direction of the footprints on the ground to escape. And Lu Ming, who was holding a bow and a magic wand, followed closely with Sham.
Walking through the dense woods and stepping over a few trees that had fallen for some unknown reason, Lu Ming and the others quickly approached the owner of those footprints.
Running and running, Lu Ming suddenly stopped. Let the others, too, stop.
He looked up at the few stumps and severed arms hidden at the top of the trees, and enduring the discomfort in his stomach, Lu Ming looked at a place in the distance where there was hardly much sunlight.
"Let's go!" Pulling out a moonlight arrow from the quiver, Lu Ming stuck the arrow on the bowstring, and slowly walked towards a very dense bush over there, and at the same time pulled the bowstring.
At that moment, the bush shook suddenly, causing Sham and her men to draw their weapons and stand in wait.
One, two, three!
After three breaths, Lu Ming shot out the moonlight arrow, causing the golden arrow to roar out with energy.
At the same time, a person rushed out of the bushes opposite! He was none other than Viscount Saldaro himself!
It's just that he just ran out of the bushes when he saw a powerful arrow shooting towards him, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly flashed to the side, narrowly dodging the golden arrow.
Even when he dodged, he could see the patterns on the arrows!
However, he dodged the one behind him
"Shhh~!" A terrifying scream, after the thing was hit by an arrow, it erupted when it was repelled by a moonlight arrow, which made everyone, including Sham and Lu Ming himself, a little frightened.
"Shield on top! The White Mage prepares to undo the spell! Archers pull strings with arrows! After jamming the second moonlight arrow on the bowstring, Lu Ming immediately ordered Sham's men.
After saying that, he didn't care whether they would listen to him or not, and shot a second moonlight arrow at the bush.
Only this time, no screams came out.
"What are you waiting for? Come here! While setting up the third moonlight arrow, Lu Ming cautiously looked at the place around where the thing might appear, and shouted to Viscount Saldaro, who was already frightened.
Being shouted by Lu Ming like this, Viscount Saldalo reacted immediately, hurriedly got up from the ground, and ran to Lu Ming and the others.
"Roar~!" As Viscount Saldaro ran, a huge spider-like monster suddenly jumped out of the bushes and frantically pounced on SaldarΓ³.
Looking at the monster that seemed to be born from a mixture of werewolves and spiders, with three pairs of human hands and feet and a half-human, half-spider face, Lu Ming let out a loud shout: "Eldridge's lackey! Then he shot out the moonlight arrow in his hand again!
With the addition of Gwendlin's phantom, the golden arrow roared towards the terrifying thing with a sound of breaking through the air, breaking off one of its limbs that I don't know if it was a hand or a foot, sending a cloud of black mud gushing out of it and flowing to the ground!
"Shhhh The screams rang out again, shocking everyone's hearts.
This monster was hit by Lu Ming's two arrows in total, but because the two arrows almost all hit the limbs, not the body, so the damage of these two arrows was pitiful.
The screams that shook the soul quickly subsided.
A pair of eyes that emitted golden fluorescence glared at Lu Ming viciously, and the fang-like things on both sides of his mouth shook one by one, and streams of dark energy were gathered in his mouth!
In this regard, Lu Ming also gathered the little sunlight in the forest and turned it into a silver-white cannonball.
"Waves of Evil!"
"Grating Canon!"
Light, darkness, collided together, and a powerful shock wave erupted. The extreme of black and white makes everyone unable to open their eyes. I can only glimpse a glimmer of light and shadow in my fingers.
At this time, the monster and Lu Ming both closed their eyes tightly and rushed towards each other.
"Flange Sword!"
"Try the knife!"
The blue soul sword and the purple shadow sword flashed in the light and shadow.
In the end, when the light and shadow faded and the eyes of Sham and the others could gradually see things, they saw that there was an extra wound on Lu Ming's arm that was deep and bone-seeing! And the monster stood dozens of meters away, glaring at Lu Ming viciously. On its body, a hideous wound was cut because of Lu Ming's flange fast sword!
"You're amazing. But it's not enough! You'll soon be screaming and wailing, just like those knights! The fangs trembled, and the beast said in a voice that could not contain the fear in his heart, "And I, in your wailing, will bathe in your blood!" β
"Beast, I will fight against your master!" Drink a primordial bottle, draw three golden arrows from the quiver, add frost to the fine snow, set the arrows, draw the bow, and aim directly at the beast.
"My master is the Salary King! And you're just a mortal! The beast was furious because of Lu Ming's disrespect for his master, and the four limbs that were not broken did not know whether they were hands or feet slapped the ground hard, and rushed towards Lu Ming frantically.
However, on the way, Sham's men forcibly blocked them with large shields, and they had to stop and tear the two apart in a few blows.
"Try this! Cursed One! Cold Moon Arrow! Because of Yusaha's use and the mutual use with Sham, Lu Ming, who was extremely angry in his heart, shot the three moonlight arrows with fine snow and frost.
Although it was daylight, although it was early summer, whether it was Sham, Saldaro, or the Cursed One, they all felt extremely cold because of those three sharp arrows!
Three arrows of moonlight with cold air attached, like the gaze of some god in charge of nightmares, stirred up boundless fear in the hearts of all. If the voice of the Cursed Soul can make people fearful, then the moonlight arrow at this moment can scare the coward to death!
Fear was like a poisonous snake gnawing at the limbs of the Cursed One, making it impossible for it to run away or fight back, but it stood there stunned, pierced by golden arrows.
Three moonlight arrows shot through the eyes and jaws of the Cursed One, respectively, and pierced through its body.
But at this moment, Lu Ming was not happy, but grabbed Sham's hand and ran away.
Seeing this, Viscount Saldalore was the first to react, and quickly followed behind Lu Ming and Sham, as far away as possible from the beast that had been pierced.
And several of Sham's subordinates looked at Lu Ming and them in a daze. Finally cursed by the final blow of the dying ghostly curser, the death mist that erupted from the mouth that was shot through!
When he ran to the place where the cursed death cloud couldn't float, Lu Ming stopped, looking at the people who were cursed in the cloud and mist, and turned into a stone-like mummy, his eyes were a little helpless. It's not that Lu Ming doesn't want to save them, it's just too late.
"What's that?" At this time, I saw Viscount Saldarlo, who was already safe. After taking a few breaths, he asked Lu Ming about the beast that was extremely terrifying in his eyes.
"The Cursed One, from the Chapel. It's Eldridge's lackey who devours the gods! β
"Devouring the gods? Its owner ate the gods!? β
Lu Ming glanced at Viscount Saldaro, who was taken aback when he heard this title, just like everyone else, and sighed helplessly: "It's just a statement!" Is it necessary? β
After speaking, Lu Ming didn't care if Viscount Saldalo would continue to say anything, and walked straight to the cursed death cloud that was about to dissipate.
Waiting for the last bit of cloud mist to be blown away by a breeze, Lu Ming quickly walked towards the Nethering Curser, who was already completely dead, and inserted his hand into the Black Mud body of the Nethering Curser, forcibly pulling out the two skill books that were chained.
"I guess you won't mind, right? Sham. After a slight glance at the pattern of the black chain on the cover of the skill book, Lu Ming threw one of them to Sham.
Then, he suddenly tore off the chains that locked the skill book, turning the skill book into dark mud, and suddenly pounced on his throat and hands, endured the severe pain of being eroded, and learned the evil skill of [Evil Wave] -
The crystallized old man of the second week is still the same brittle. But what's wrong with you, hairy crab? Why do this to me? βοΉβ
