Chapter 137: Exorcism
When the Count of Montenegro attended the funeral, the castle of the royal capital exploded. The strangeness of the Hall of the Throne was transmitted by the trembling maids standing at the edge of the hall, the heavy door was slammed open by anxious soldiers, and the heavily armored royal guards suddenly took up nearly half of the hall like a cloud of silver smoke. But though the guards rushed into the room, they did not dare to act rashly, partly because Atticus, the Grand Knight Captain, had stopped them, and partly because they had all seen that their king was being crushed on the throne by a wolf-like creature.
"What's going on?" Elsa and Mona couldn't keep up with the sudden turn of events, and they were still immersed in the strange story told by the king, when suddenly the situation in front of them became what it is now. Looking at the king on the throne and the spell cast on the former, Jack and Cheese, and the soldiers waiting behind them, the two girls from the north felt that everything in front of them seemed to be very unreal.
"There's something in Your Majesty's body. Cheese and Jack are figuring out how to get it out. Heather walked over to the two of them and said, although she hadn't seen anything unusual from the king before, but now, as the mage struggled to expel what was inside Sigget, the power given to her by her bloodline allowed the female knight to see more than the average person. Unlike the fleeting apparitions that most people see, Heather could see the demonic form that was becoming clearer and clearer behind the king. The demon's body twitched and struggled, trying to resist the mage's expulsion.
Of course, for most of the people present, all they saw was that the light from the king's seven orifices was getting stronger and stronger. The Wolfwalker's muscles tensed, and only then could he continue to hold down the people on the throne. It is hard to imagine that the king's aged body can burst out with a power comparable to that of a werewolf. "Get your men ready to fight, that thing is coming out!"
Jack's shouts didn't have the effect he wanted, and the lion's guards wouldn't follow the werewolf's commands, clenching their weapons tightly, their attention still focused on the three people near the throne. "Soldiers, in formation, ready to deal with large targets. The Iron Knight was not as blind as the average soldier, and although he did not know what Jack would call "that thing", the iron in his hand told him that there was indeed some terrible presence that was about to be forced out of the king's body by Cheese.
The soldier's obedient nature played a role, and while the royal guards were unaware of where the Grand Knight's big target came from, they clearly believed unconditionally in Atticus' loyalty to the King. The silver-armored guards quickly coalesced, and warriors with huge shields painted with white lion motifs passed through their comrades, holding their shields heavily in front of unknown enemies, creating a temporary barrier. Behind them, soldiers with halberds in pairs stretched the deadly weapon through the gaps in their shields, adding some deadly accents to the sturdy line.
"Heather, retreat behind the soldiers with two guests, you have no experience dealing with dark creatures. The Grand Knight pulled a sword flower, leaving a string of red trails in the air with the knight's sword in his hand, and the Iron Knight kicked over the chair and brazier in front of him, holding Tie Ze's hilt with both hands, and assuming a battle posture.
"If Lord André had known that I was not on the front line of protecting the King, he would not hesitate to break my leg with a hammer. The female knight smiled, not retreating, she drew her saber, and there were abnormal water marks on the normally normal sword, "Besides, I don't think they will listen to me." You know, they're Northlanders. ”
"That's right, we're not going to leave our companions behind. The proprietress pulled out her dagger from her waist and took a few steps back, not to say that Elsa was scared, but her fighting style made her need to see the enemy's vital points before she could strike a fatal blow. "It is our duty to protect the mage. The female warrior nodded in agreement. However, instead of raising her weapon like the others, she turned and took off a diamond-shaped shield from the wall of the Hall of Thrones.
The Grand Knight Chief glanced at the stubborn female warriors, and he was tempted to tell them that it was not because he despised their combat prowess. Rather, it was to prevent the enemy from being too large and to leave enough space for the fighters in the front row to dodge. But it was too late for him to say these things. "Be careful! it's coming out!" the wolfwalker could feel what he had suppressed growing stronger, and he knew that Cheese's spell was about to be completed, and the demon hiding in the king's body was about to be banished.
"In the name of the Grey Tower, I declare that you have no right to occupy this mortal body! Archdemon, Dodo!" the mage's incantation came to an abrupt halt with his words, and was replaced by a fierce light that burst out from the king with the blinding blindness of all. Jack, the closest man to the king, stepped backwards the moment the mage's spell was completed, pulling Cheese in front of him as he stepped back, using his body to protect the latter from the magic explosion.
"Boom!" The loud explosion that followed the bright light made everyone unconsciously cover their ears, and the torches in the entire throne hall were instantly extinguished due to the powerful roar. And when the light and the loud noise had dissipated, and everyone could regain sight and hearing, they could smell the strong, chilling smell of sulfur in the Room of the Throne. It's the smell of demons.
"You don't know who I am, you don't know what I'm capable of!" an unpleasant roar echoed through the hall, and demonic language sounded more like a shout of threat and intimidation to ordinary people. This is why many anthropologists do not believe that demons have a complete language system.
Of course, they are wrong, the language used by demons is far longer than that of humans in history, but it is very difficult for humans to learn demon language. It's not that there is any problem with pronunciation, it's just that there are so many words in Demon Language that have completely different concepts from the human mind, so that even if ordinary people want to learn them, they often can't learn them. However, there are always exceptions, don't they?
"Whoever you are, being here means it's time for you to go back to your abyss, a crawler with goat horns. The mage, who stood up from under his werewolf companion, looked fearlessly at the demon standing in front of the throne and scolded.
