Chapter 1: The Ghost Swordsman
The continent of Arad, a continent where force, technology, magic, and mind coexist.
The town of Osi, located in the border area of the Arad continent, is a relatively backward small town.
In a gloomy forest, the swamp was dense, the black smoke miasma, the cold wind blew the dense bushes, and the corpses of all kinds were lying on the ground full of weeds, and the bones were sickened with the smell of black and red blood.
A bruised boy with a heavy sword running desperately, blood flowing down the boy's arm, dripping to the ground, behind the boy there were several ugly-looking goblins chasing, while chasing, licking the blood on the ground, very enjoyable.
Due to the excessive blood loss, the young man's mind developed a strong sense of dizziness, feeling that everything in front of him had several layers of ghosting, and the sense of direction was suddenly confused, and his steps were messy.
He didn't know, how long he ran, he didn't know, he ran to, he just knew that he wanted to live, and he must not die here.
A strong goblin carrying a basket of boulders took out one of them and threw it at the boy, who quickly approached the boy.
"Uh-"
The young man was hit by a boulder unexpectedly, flew directly upside down more than ten meters, hit the thick tree trunk, his throat was sweet, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fell to the ground along the tree trunk, and his breath was already dying.
Strangely, the goblin followed, but he didn't dare to step into the area where the boy was, the area in front of him was shrouded in a red mist visible to the naked eye, exuding a plague-like evil aura, and it seemed that a little contamination would kill him, which made the goblins afraid of three points, and could only monitor outside.
The bright red at the corner of the young man's mouth was incompatible with the pale face, and suddenly, the young man's face was distorted, as if his facial features did not belong to him at this moment.
The red mist around him poured into his left arm, and gradually, his left arm was covered with a layer of dirty red, and the muscle masses rose and fell one after another, as if they might explode at any moment.
"Ahhh
The boy opened his mouth wide and roared heartbreakingly, venting the burning pain in his left arm.
Strange and ugly veins crawled all over his left arm, and he watched in horror at the mutation of his left arm, and he couldn't believe it, so he frantically beat his left arm, and the red blood attached to it, making it even more hideous and ugly.
The left arm was still changing, it was actually swollen in a circle, and in the end, the left hand was also infected by the red mist, the blood vessels burst out, the red covered its surface, and the sharp nails were dirty.
The goblin seemed to be unable to hold back, and one of the throwing goblins took out a boulder and threw it at the boy, trying to force the boy out and then enjoy his fat meat.
At this moment, the young man's eyes suddenly turned red, and he suddenly stretched out his left hand, caught the boulder, and instantly crushed it.
With a cruel smile and a red glint in his eyes, the boy stood up and rushed towards the goblin with his heavy sword.
With a slash of the sword, a goblin split in two in an instant, and viscous green blood spurted out and splashed on the boy's distorted face.
But he didn't care, and with a sword cut, another goblin's upper and lower bodies were separated.
A throwing goblin in the distance throws a boulder and smashes it on the boy's body.
However, the young man's body only trembled for a moment, and then, the young man turned around, his eyes were wide open, his scarlet eyeballs were full of killing intent, the corners of his mouth were slanted, and a sword was thrown out, and the heavy sword pierced through the body of the throwing goblin, inserted in a tree, and a trace of green slime adhered to the sword body.
The last few goblins with hammers swarmed up, and then there was a scene of flesh flying, but the blood was green......
Several goblins died in an instant, in a more tragic state than the corpses, and the young man looked at the green blood on his hands and couldn't stop laughing.
If the goblins give the impression of danger, then the boy gives the impression of destruction and a terrifying feeling.
The rampant laughter reverberated through the forest for a moment, and suddenly, the boy's wild laughter stopped abruptly, and then fell to the ground with a thud, and his eyes gradually returned to their normal color, but they couldn't help but close.
……
……
"Where am I?" The boy looked at his surroundings in horror and found himself lying on his bed, in a neat room, his body wrapped in bandages in many places.
"Ahh
At this moment, a tall man walked slowly, carrying a large cross on his back, and a delicate small cross hanging from his chest, the standard clergyman's attire.
However, there was a golden cross phantom behind him, which Sawyer had never seen before.
"Don't move." The man reminded.
"Answer me a few questions first, what's your name and why did you appear in Goblin territory?"
The boy also stopped moving, and recounted his experience in detail: "My name is Sawyer, and last year, I had the honor of becoming a swordsman and studying at a swordsman academy. ”
"The other day, the academy organized a monster hunting trial for us to hunt a few goblins on the outskirts of the forest. As a result, I became separated from my companions and was chased by several goblins, so I ran away as fast as I could. ”
"I don't know how long I ran, but I was hit by a boulder that threw a goblin, and I flew into an area shrouded in red mist, and the goblin didn't dare to step in, but my left arm turned into this ugly appearance."
At this point, the boy's face was full of horror, and he turned his gaze to his deformed left arm, only to find that his left arm was tightly strangled by two iron hoops, and a heavy iron chain connected the two iron hoops.
The center of the hoop is a material with a turquoise sheen, which is full of mystery.
"What is this?" The boy looked at his left arm and wondered.
"You are unlucky, but you are lucky, unfortunately you have contracted the plague of Kazan, you have Kazan syndrome, and your left hand has become a ghost hand. Luckily, you're one of the few people who survived Kazan's syndrome, and I brought you a device to suppress the power of the demons. ”
"Ghost Hand, Kazan Plague, Ghost God Power ......" A large amount of information poured into Sawyer's mind, making him have no idea about his situation, only that he should be contaminated with something unclean.
"And how did you find me?" The boy asked, after all, he was alone in the terrifying forest.
"I received an order from the church that there was a strange fluctuation in this forest, so they sent me here to investigate, and I found you fainting in the forest, and as far as I know, you are the first person in Ossi to suffer from Kazan's syndrome." The man looked worried, looking out the door.
"Besides, now you are no longer an ordinary swordsman, but a, a ghost swordsman."
"Ghost Swordsman......" the young man muttered as he looked at his ghost hand.
"So what do I do now?" The boy seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter, and his eyes were full of worry.
"In this remote town of Osi, there is no perfect coping mechanism, and you will be treated as an outlier and ostracized. So, Academy, you definitely won't be able to go back. The man paced back and forth, earnestly.
"Well, you go find someone, maybe he can help you."
"Who?"
"Reese Mountains, Oya."
