Chapter 1888: The Iron Maiden (6)

"Hmph, it looks like a guest has been here. Little Zust also noticed the dark red color on the door, so he drew his weapon and went to pull the doorknob alertly.

"Didn't you say that the Brotherhood has a lot of connections, and there won't be anyone around here who will trouble the Brotherhood?" Arthur couldn't help but complain.

"This ...... We've seen the reality in the discussion. Johnny had pulled the door away.

Inside the library, in the basement with its back door, there was a strange stench. It smells as sweet as rotten fruit, but it smells bad.

The smell of corpses.

Arthur frowned the moment he smelled it. He walked ahead with his sword and shield, and he could hear a slight sound chirping in the distance.

The sound sounded like the sound of rubber boots walking in the mud, but it was terrifying in this extremely quiet environment.

"Lord Aslan?" asked Little Zust in a low voice.

"Shhhh Arthur motioned for the other to stay out of motion. Dressed in a vampire hunter's robe, little Zust, although it was light armor, it couldn't completely silence it. Johnny's movement causes all sorts of subtle friction between his clothes and breastplate, revealing their whereabouts. So Arthur preferred to walk in front of the front, leaving little Zust and his son on standby. In this way, he can find out the source of the voice in front of him, and maybe get a head start on defeating the enemy.

One step, and another, and another. Arthur walked forward half-crouched, skilful and light, truly penetrating completely silently. The floor of the church is very well matched, it is not a wooden floor that creaks as soon as you walk up, but a marble floor that is very finely polished and fits well with each other. Arthur's cloth shoes don't make a sound when he walks on this floor.

The chirping sound was around the corner at the end of the dark hallway, and it never stopped. Arthur had reached the end of the hallway, cautiously peering in.

Someone, dressed in tattered clothes, with his back to Arthur, crouched there. Judging by the man's movements, he must have picked up something on the ground.

Arthur wondered why someone had been picking up something on the ground for so long, and was about to ask the man. Before he could speak, he saw something next to the man's back.

An arm!

An arm stained red with blood!

There were also vague pieces of flesh next to the arms, and maybe even some fragments of internal organs that had fallen to the ground, but all of them became extremely illegible in the dark environment.

The moment he saw this, Arthur couldn't help but gasp.

Shocked! That man is eating human corpses!

The visual stimulation in front of him was extremely great, even the battle-hardened King Arthur couldn't help but be moved, and the moment he was moved, he accidentally let his short sword and the wall around the corner touch, so it made a sound, exposing Arthur's whereabouts!

"Huh...... The creature who was crouching on the ground heard the noise, and then turned his head to look, just in front of Arthur's eyes in shock.

No, maybe it's not the "four eyes" opposite, just the "two eyes". The thing's eyes had long since turned white, and it was barely visible. That thing might not even be human, but some kind of necromantic warrior. Its face was badly rotten, and its dead skin and rotten flesh were sticking to his face along with the yellow corpse water, dripping down from time to time! The corners of its mouth were covered with blood stains from eating people, dripping along with the yellow viscous corpse water!

Arthur felt a wave of nausea gushing out of his stomach. Fortunately, he had already seen too many terrifying and disgusting scenes, and he had an excellent ability to bear it in his heart, so he was not frightened by this kind of scene!

In the next second, the man-eating monster had quickly turned around and pounced on King Arthur, aiming at Arthur's neck and biting it, with the idea of eating Arthur as well!

The Knight King didn't hesitate, and aimed his shield at the monster's face. Arthur's current young man's body is actually not strong, and the power of ordinary fists is definitely not enough. But the small shield in his hand has a certain weight, and the hard slap from the side is just right, and the impact is evenly walked on the opponent's face!

How could the Knight King let go of such an opportunity! His body almost automatically responded to the movement of the previous second, and his right hand had already stabbed out with a short sword.

The dagger stabs into the monster's stomach with a thud, piercing the internal organs, slicing the spine, and inflicting massive damage on the enemy!

But Arthur knew that the monster would not give up the struggle so easily, so this fatal blow would not last long, and he had to quickly pull out his weapon after he had inflicted heavy damage on the enemy, and at the same time kicked the enemy away!

The monster fell heavily to the ground, facing the sky on its back, and the lower half of its body should be paralyzed, after all, Arthur cut its spine with a short sword! But its vitality was really strong, and its upper body could still move, and its two rotten arms were scratching left and right, as if it wanted to get up again and continue to attack Arthur!

The Knight King felt a deep disgust when he saw this man-eating monster, he didn't let it continue to struggle for long, an arrow rushed up, aimed at the monster's head is a sword, and the short sword accurately exploded the opponent's head!

With a splash of dark red, foul-smelling juice, the undead monster finally stopped.

"Ha, ha, ha...... Arthur stepped back, took a few breaths, and complained, "What the hell is this?"

"I guess it's a ghoul. "The vampire hunter Rust Jr. came over for an autopsy.

Arthur frowned, repeating the unfamiliar word, "Ghoul?"

"It's someone who's been attacked by a vampire. Johnny Zust said.

"I thought that anyone who was bitten by a vampire would become a vampire," Arthur asked curiously, "like a virus?"

"What is a virus?" explained Rust, who was obviously unaware of microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses, "not everyone who has been bitten becomes a vampire. Some people who don't become vampires become ghouls.

There are several different types of ghouls, some of which are now walking dead but are still able to act at the mercy of the Bloodline who bit them, and some are completely insane, attacking everything in sight, known as furyghoul. Judging from the monster's action pattern just now, it is very likely that the person you killed was a mad ghoul, Lord Yaslan. ＂

"Oh. Arthur snorted, "So, it's really about vampires." Are there vampires wreaking havoc everywhere you go. ＂

"Not necessarily. Wild ghouls react to certain things, chasing them from far away to a specific location. And the mad ghoul is out of the control of the vampire, maybe someone other than the vampire is making trouble. Anyway, let's take a look at the situation first. ＂

"Okay. Arthur rubbed hard against the wall next to him, wiping most of the blood from his shield and dagger. It wasn't because he was clean, but he had a gut feeling that the smell of blood would attract more ghouls.

"Uh...... Am I staying here?" asked Joey. Although he was a child who had been trained in vampire hunter combat since he was a child, he was really still a child, and the bloody images in front of him were indeed a bit exciting for him.

"No, keep up. But his father said, "It's more dangerous to leave you here alone." You stay behind me and support me and the Aslan. ＂

"Okay. The blonde boy said.

"It's all set. Arthur said, he had heard footsteps in the corridor in the distance, the sound of rotting flesh clattering on the icy ground. It seems that their conversation has caught the attention of those monsters, and this battle is almost inevitable.

At the end of the corridor opposite, about ten mad ghouls attacked. Judging from the appearance of those decomposing corpses, it should be roughly seven men and three women. The rags, who were already in rags, were estimated to have been dead for a long time, but they had been moving continuously in the form of zombies, covered in yellow corpse water, and extremely terrifying.

Arthur's brow twitched------ it was actually very disadvantageous to fight this large group of monsters in such a narrow corridor.

The mad ghoul who took the lead was noticeably faster than the other monsters, as its legs were less rotten. Arthur saw that he was distancing himself from the other ghouls and immediately thought of a solution. Instead of keeping his distance from the monsters, he rushed up to engage the mad ghoul who was leading the way. The monster was already crazy, and it was estimated that the brain was rotten, so without much thought, he grabbed Arthur with one hand, probably relying on the form of beast-like instinct, wanting to bite while grabbing the prey!

"It's so easy to predict!" Arthur smiled coldly, and that was exactly what he wanted. At the moment when the opponent grabbed it with one hand, he set up a shield to block, using the smooth surface of the shield to unload the strength of the opponent's attack, and at the same time, taking advantage of the moment when the opponent's body was out of balance, he picked up the short sword with his right hand and stabbed it!

This sword is more precise and fierce than the previous attack, not aimed at the opponent's abdomen, but directly pierced the throat of the mad ghoul! The blade through the throat may not be able to kill this immortal monster, but its real effect is not to kill the monster, but to cut off the opponent's cervical vertebrae! The creature that has been cut off from the neck down is out of control, no matter what kind of undead monster it is!

Then, Arthur habitually kicked out again, pulling out the piercing dagger and kicking his opponent away!

The mad ghoul was kicked out in the opposite direction, just hitting the group of ghouls behind him, and they fell in pieces!

"Joey, it's now!" Arthur shouted.

Joey seemed to understand Arthur's intentions, and had already taken out two holy water bottles from his waist and threw them at the fallen ghouls!

The shattered vial ignited a pale flame that set the fallen group of wild ghouls on fire!
