Chapter 1955 - Caught in the Lake (24)

Daniel frowned half-incomprehensibly, turned his head to look at the door that had been smashed by the monster, and then looked at the ball of light.

On one side was terror and darkness, and on the other side was light, even if it was a little cold, but it was the only warmth he had in this darkness.

"Take me away!" Daniel hurriedly said to the dark shadows of the three maids, "Whatever you are, get me out of this hellish place!

"It's not up to us to decide. "The Holy Grail is both a blessing and a curse. "Thou hast lost thyself and fallen into a deep sleep, and the power of the Holy Grail devoured thee. ＂

"He who has [hope] will never be at peace. "He who has [hope] will live in fear. "He who has [hope] in his heart will never sleep." ＂

"Those who have [hope] must always be cautious. "Those who have [hope] must exercise self-control. "Those who have [hope] must be self-reliant. ＂

Originally, the three witches who were talking to me suddenly spoke in unison, and said the same sentence almost exactly synchronously:

"------------------ otherwise, you will be devoured by [despair]. ＂

Hearing this, Daniel suddenly understood.

The Holy Grail chose him, just as the Holy Grail had chosen the [Seat of Greed] he had previously killed. It should be said that he is now the new [Seat of Greed], the guardian of the Holy Grail Shards. The Grail Fragment had given him the strength to survive a desperate situation, but it had to come at a price. If the overflowing [Despair] of the Holy Grail will erode the [Seat of Greed], the current Daniel will also be corrupted by the Holy Grail.

Until one day, when someone kills him and becomes the new [Seat of Greed], this never-ending erosion will not stop. Until it drives him insane, this nightmarish scene will strike him again and again, pestering him to kill or drive him crazy.

That's what "never sleeps" really means.

Daniel hadn't encountered such nightmares before, because he hadn't slept too hard, and his spirit had been partially resisting the erosion of nightmares. But he had just drunk and was drunk, and he was so drunk that the last line of defense of his spirit collapsed. In that moment, the nightmare grabbed him.

He had to wake up himself. It is necessary to pick yourself up and get out of this nightmare.

But what should be done?

Boom! The door couldn't hold anymore, not because it was broken by the group of nurse dolls, but because the sheep-headed demon behind the door couldn't bear it, and brandished a firewood knife and split the nurse puppets along with the door!

The three shrine maidens said in unison, "Heal the pain and breathe." "Hold on to hope, then ignore despair. "Take control of yourself and take a break from the nightmare. ＂

"Woo!" Daniel rushed over to hug the light, and though he didn't know exactly what to do to get out of this nightmare, if [hope] was the only thing he could do, then he would hope, pray!

He could hear the sheep-headed demon rushing from behind him. He pretended to be calm and continued to pray.

He could feel a storm in the back of his head. The monster raised a huge wood knife and slashed him from behind, about to smash him into meat sauce. But he still pretended to be calm and continued to pray!

...... Prayer.

Pray for a fart!

The moment he almost touched the huge wood knife in his head, he slid sideways and retreated, and the wood knife almost hit him, but it slid past him!

He could feel the impact, he could feel the sheep-headed demon swaying past him, he could feel the force of a deadly blade smashing the ground into a deep pit! It was not his character to stand there praying and waiting for death. If standing and praying could solve the problem, then all the troubles in this world would have been solved long ago!

He's not the kind of person who gives up struggling easily. Even if he dies, he will have to fight his opponent to the death!

"Damn it, chased me for a long time. Daniel stepped back a few times and distanced himself from the other party: "Do you think I don't have a weapon in my hand, so I can't take you?"

However, it is not without weapons. Daniel picked up two sharp scalpels from the ground, the scalpels held by the smashed nurse dolls. Although short, it is sharp, and although it cannot be compared to the opponent's huge chai knife, it is better than nothing.

"Kill you!" Daniel yelled at his opponent with two scalpels in hand.

Instead of responding, the sheep-headed demon turned around and looked at Daniel stunned, ready for the next blow. The light source that was originally in the middle of the room had now fallen on Daniel's chest, moving with him as if it was attached there, but it was not material------ at least it had no collision volume.

And no matter how the light was attached to Daniel's chest, he now had bigger problems to worry about. The opponent in front of him is powerful and powerful, and he can easily kill him. He had no equipment to work with, and the only weapons in his hands were two pitifully short scalpels. Could it be any worse?

Oh, indeed. Several nurse dolls rushed in from outside the door, these were all dolls that had been chasing Daniel since just now, but for various reasons they fell behind and were not chopped by the sheep-headed demon. They joined the fray to cause chaos for Daniel. The sheep-headed demon wielded a large wood knife and certainly didn't care about the dolls, its sole purpose was to chop Daniel into a pulp. But these puppets will come and sneak attack Daniel when the Black Iron Knight boy dodges the attack, and they have to guard against it. It's a terrible situation!

Daniel then walked towards a corner of the room, adjusting his vision to see as many enemies as possible. Thankfully, this room was a decent sized bedroom (despite its extreme age in this space), so it wasn't too big for Daniel to keep the whole picture on, and it wasn't too small for him to dodge enemy attacks!

Although the other nurse dolls are also very dangerous, Daniel's attention is still focused on the sheep-headed demon, after all, the huge wood knife slashing over, even if it is just a light brush from the side, it is deadly! Daniel even hopes that the sheep-headed demon's attack will destroy the surrounding nurse dolls, so that he can borrow the knife to kill people without having to deal with those nurse dolls himself!

The huge hatchet had already slashed at Daniel, or rather, it swept diagonally, but the range of the attack was quite large. At the same time, a nurse doll rushed over without fear of death, trying to prick Daniel with the syringe in his hand. These puppets don't have eyes in the first place, and they only rely on hearing to perceive Daniel's location, so it's normal that they don't see the huge chai knife wielding in the sheep's head demon's hand!

Therefore, fortunately, the puppet crashed into the blade of the sheep-headed demon, and it couldn't help but be defeated, and because of this, the sheep-headed demon's attack was delayed, making the firewood knife swing slower by about a fraction of a second. Daniel took advantage of the moment to slip next to the other nurse puppet, nimbly dodging the sharp scaling scissors in the man's hand, then went around its back and kicked it in the back of its knee!

The joints of these nurse dolls are also designed according to human joints, and some places happen to be the weak parts of the joints, so after taking a kick, the nurse puppets naturally can't stand steadily, and kneel forward! It just caught up with the sheep-headed demon's big chai knife, or the slash of the big chai knife just now had not stopped, and the sheep-headed demon saw that his blow was empty, and while dragging the knife, he turned back and swept back a 360-degree sweep, originally planning to pursue Daniel who slipped behind it. This blow did not hit the Black Iron Knight boy, but instead caused the head of the nurse doll to move to the ground!

That's two. Daniel thought for a tenth of a second, and at the same time stepped back to dodge the blade of the big wood knife, and slipped to the side of the other nurse doll with a tumbling. The nurse doll was very agile, and as soon as Daniel got closer, the scalpel in his hand was already falling rapidly, hitting Daniel's head!

Expected. The Black Iron Knight Boy knew the ferocity of these monsters, and he knew that as soon as they got close, they would attack without hesitation. Such an easy guy to grasp was in Daniel's favor, he had just finished rolling and was ready to keep an eye on the nurse's hands at all times, and the moment he saw his opponent poke him with surgical scissors, he happily kicked his opponent down with a sweeping leg! The puppet lost its center of gravity, and the attack that poked Daniel's head was certainly off, Daniel easily dodged the blow, and at the same time kicked the opponent back, just in time for the sheep-headed demon to rush in pursuit, kicking the doll out and kicking the sheep-headed demon away!

It stands to reason that the nurse doll, which is not very large, should not have much effect on the sheep-headed demon, after all, the guy is a strong man who is close to six feet tall. But there are obstacles, and the sheep-headed demon obviously doesn't want to be hit by that kind of thing, and has already wielded a large wood knife to split the nurse doll in two! There was already the only nurse doll left in the room, and Daniel managed to hold the sheep-headed demon in his footsteps, and went to deal with the last one of the obstacles. As long as he is done with this last nurse doll, he can fight the sheep-headed demon alone, and the risk will be much less!

However------

"What?!" Daniel was about to run over, only to find his feet grabbed by some mysterious force.

Oh, not some mysterious power, but the remaining body of the beheaded nurse doll just now crawled over and grabbed Daniel with one hand. That guy wasn't a creature in the first place, and he could still move without a head! It also waved the syringe in its hand, as if it wanted to prick Daniel's leg with the syringe! The black iron knight boy was in a hurry, and stepped on it preemptively, just before his foot was pierced by the syringe, and the puppet's arm holding the syringe was smashed!

However, the fact that he was held back for a second did not change, and the sheep-headed demon had already chased after the nurse doll that had crashed into it after dealing with (slashing) it, and he didn't even give Daniel a chance to breathe, and swept towards the waist of the Black Iron Knight Boy!

Oops! You're going to be cut in half! And Daniel only has two small scalpels in his hands, so he can't stop the opponent's attack with this kind of thing! Do you really want to watch yourself being cut in half by a wood knife?!

"Woo!" the black iron knight boy still subconsciously waved the scalpel to block! This is just a reflex action, and it doesn't even need to be logical!

Boom------ but his block worked! It wasn't the scalpel that blocked the attack, but a scimitar that emerged out of thin air from the hand where he held the scalpel, blocking the attack!
