Section 39 Waterways
In the sun, Jace finally left with his men.
He has conceded defeat.
In the face of Udias, who even Chen Yan was helpless, he could only endure even if he had great ambitions. Udias is not a negotiable witcher, he admires justice and hates evil. Where his giant sword goes, even the upper echelons of weak demons have to retreat, let alone Jace, a mere demon? If it weren't for those human captives, he would have been a ghost under the sword of Udias.
The battlefield was a mess, full of ravines up to two meters deep and scattered rocks. Udias's destructive power was too great, and the environment in which he fought was never intact. This is also a common problem of pure power witchers.
Behind him, the Holy Knights still cleaned up the battlefield in an orderly manner and rescued their companions. The black-armored girl Martha also walked up to him.
"Gee, it looks like a good fight. Are you hurt? ”
"A little bit of a wound." Udias touched his ribs, where the bleeding had stopped. There is nothing abnormal in the body. "He is not destructive enough to be a threat to me."
"That's, after all, just a rookie who hasn't started." Martha grinned and pulled a curtain of light from the device on her wrist. "You haven't even done it with such a rookie, it looks like you've regressed."
In the light curtain, Chen Yan's image is impressive, next to his information and test results.
"A newborn who hasn't passed the assessment yet?" Udias frowned slightly. It seems that this result was not expected. There are about six levels of witchers, which are divided into Awakening, Illusion, Enlightenment, Domination, Firmament, and Legendary, which correspond to the level of demons. The Primitives do not belong to these levels, and are the starting point of all levels. This is also known as a rookie.
Udias is the upper rank of the awakening level, corresponding to the upper position of the weak demon, but he does not feel the absolute suppression of strength, which can't help but make him a little strange.
"This person is by no means a beginner-level ability, his strength has at least reached the middle of the awakening level."
"Who knows? Anyway, his fighting instincts are pretty good, and I like his evil spirits. Little Martha said as she bit her fingers. recalled Chen Yan's last sentence. "If you have something to do at home, go first, ha, boss, you have been released a pigeon."
"Shut up, I'm not your boss." Udias muttered, but shook his head slightly. "A rookie, have I been slacking off lately?"
Either way, the battle was won by Udias, and the losses of the Holy Knights were not large. Although Jace's 'Bloody Revenge' is very perverted, it is premised on sacrificing life force, and coupled with the small number of demonized people, the damage of the Holy Knights is still within an acceptable range. No more than a dozen were killed in the battle, and the rest were only slightly wounded.
So after cleaning up the battlefield, the Holy Knights returned to the ruins of the demonic tribe and prepared for their next move.
Their purpose is the devil's nest in the underground waterways.
While this wasn't their main task, the Demon Hunters didn't mind scavenging it now that they knew about the existence of the Devil's Lair. You must know that witchers also have to support their families, especially Udias, who bears the expenses of so many orphanages and nursing homes, and also supports a Holy Knights, it is nonsense to say that there is no shortage of money. But fortunately, he is strong and has the backing of the Holy Sect, so he will not be unable to live.
As for the other Martha, it's even simpler, a typical one person who feeds the whole family and doesn't go hungry.
It's just that Martha is not a subordinate of Udias, but an independent witcher. She has always been known for her bloody brutality, so Udias doesn't like her very much. If he hadn't been assigned to Martha on this mission, he would never have teamed up with Martha.
Time passed, and it was night in the blink of an eye.
The Holy Knight cleared the ruins and found the entrance to the underground sewer. After resting, early the next morning, Udias led the people to the entrance. At a glance, you can see the raging torrent below.
In the Hui River Basin, the underground waterways are a vast network, and legend has it that it has a vast underground world. So it's always dangerous. If it weren't for the fact that this time it was a demon's lair, Udias wouldn't want to take people down.
The waterways are dark and full of icy rocks and rapids. The smell of dampness filled the air. The roof of the cave was dripping with droplets.
Several Holy Knights walked ahead with torches, followed by Udias and Martha.
"I can smell evil." Udias said. The eye sockets under the helmet shimmered.
"How comforting...... I felt like my whole body was alive. Martha replied with a grin, fiddling with the little flower on her shoulder.
"If I'm not mistaken, this is supposed to be the newborn's pet, why did you take it with you?"
"I like it, do you want to take care of it?" Martha replied, looking disapproving. "Just a rookie. Although I was lucky, I still ran away, this little cutie must have been abandoned by him, and of course I want to adopt her. ”
"Flower spirits are members of the demons, you should be careful." Udias stopped talking.
In this world, it is common for witchers to walk with demons, and he has nothing to care about. What's more, the combat effectiveness of the flower spirits is very poor, and only a sufficient number will pose a threat to people. A little flower spirit can't worry. But no one noticed that while they were talking, the little flower spirit bit her fingers, and her eyes flashed with a strange luster.
In the darkness, the team moved slowly. The light of the torches swayed on the walls of the cave, illuminating the distorted figures.
The air became more and more humid, and gradually even breathing became more and more suppressed.
Before you know it, the team has been walking for a long time, and the road behind it is winding and winding, as if there is no end in sight.
Around everyone, the raging torrent rumbled and splashed a lot of water...... A Holy Knight shuddered, and involuntarily wrapped his cloak a little tighter. At this time, he happened to see that there seemed to be something more on the back of his companion in front of him, so he rubbed his eyes.
"What are you looking at?" The companion in front of him suddenly turned his head and said to him grimly.
The Holy Knight looked up and was about to answer, but suddenly shouted again. Because he was shocked to find that the face of his companion in front of him was no longer bloodless. It's a skull!
"Devil! Get the hell out of here! ”
The Holy Knight drew his sword and slashed at it, slashing the skull away in a single blow. Blood immediately gushed like a fountain, splashing his head and face.
At the same time, the roar of Udias rang in his ears.
"Bastard, what the hell are you doing!?"
How?
The Holy Knight came to his senses, only to see that he had cut off not a skeleton, but the head of his companion.
The headless corpse of his companion spurted blood in front of him and fell to the ground with a thud......
