Chapter 7: The Fighting Spirit of the Underworld

"What is a Shadow Knight? I think you all know that. ”

Back at the castle, Leo asked impatiently.

Helena and Barben's faces were very pale, and Leo could even see their bodies trembling, was that Shadow Knight so terrifying?

After a long time, Helena sighed and said, "The Shadow Demon Knight is an evil creature created by witchcraft, and it is said that the method of making it is very evil, and the knight has to endure unimaginable pain in the process of transformation. But once they succeed, they have the combat power of high-level knights at the very least, and because they have all kinds of powerful and weird abilities, even peak knights are not their opponents. They can be invisible in the dark of night, and can easily assassinate enemy knights, and the Canaan Empire has a large number of shadow knights. ”

"The Canaanite Empire?"

Leo muttered.

The Canaanite Empire was the most powerful neighbor of the Kouyata Empire, and the war between the two countries lasted for hundreds of years, making it arguably a true mortal enemy.

"Lord Baron and I used to serve in the Night Fortress, and during a special mission, our team met a Shadow Knight. ”

"Later, we were hunted down by this Shadow Knight, who is even stronger than the Shadow Demon Knight we met today. At that time, there were 10 knights in our team, including two peak knights, but in the darkness, we were killed by them until only three of them remained. ”

Hearing this, Leo couldn't help but be surprised.

The Shadow Demon Knight was so terrifying that he killed 7 knights by himself.

"Later, if he hadn't encountered reinforcements, he would have been able to wipe out one of our knight squads by himself. ”

Baben said with a look of horror.

This incident made such a deep impression on him that he still can't get rid of the shadow of that battle.

"Actually, we don't have to worry, we've already severely injured that Shadow Demon Knight just now. ”

"Blood is the source of their strength. This time he lost a lot of blood, his strength was greatly reduced, it was very difficult to make up for it, at least for a while he did not dare to come again, this is what my mother told us. ”

Hearing this, both Leo and Papen breathed a sigh of relief, and finally had good news.

"Leo, though, you really surprised me. Not only did you find that Shadow Demon Knight and save my life, but you also promoted you to Knight, which is incredible. ”

Bapen said.

"This ...... A few days ago, I was unexpectedly promoted to a knight, which can only be said to be an accident. ”

Leo said with a snort.

But how could Baben believe his words, it was too difficult to be promoted to knight.

I don't know how many reserve knights have been stuck by this level for a lifetime, as can be seen from the fact that there are only three knights in the Barony of Fairhouse.

Seeing that Leo didn't want to tell the reason, Helena smiled and said, "I didn't expect that we Leo still knew to keep secrets." ”

Leo shook his head and smiled bitterly, how could he explain this kind of thing, but changed the topic: "He killed the people we sent, what should we do next." ”

"There won't be many people they sent, it's likely that there is only one Shadow Demon Knight, and under normal circumstances, one Shadow Demon Knight is enough to wash the entire castle in blood. ”

Barben said with some self-deprecation.

At this time, he thanked Leo again, if it weren't for him, there would have been a river of blood here.

"So our crisis is basically over, just tell the Baron what is going on. ”

"Knight Papen has a point, so let's do it. ”

Helena said, "Leo, I'll leave the vigil to you these days, and you're the only one who can find that Shadow Knight, and I don't want our heads cut off while we sleep." ”

"Mother, don't worry, I'll leave this matter to me. ”

"What did you say? You failed? When did a Shadow Knight fail to kill even two Knights?"

In a dense forest in the mountains, a majestic man with three scars on the right side of his face said angrily to the Shadow Demon Knight hidden in the darkness.

"This time it was an accident, I ran into a difficult opponent?"

The Shadow Demon Knight said lightly.

"What opponent?"

Scarface asked.

"A knight, a very special knight, who can find me in the night. ”

Shadow Knight said.

"What do you say? There are knights who can find you? This is impossible!!"

Scarface said with a shocked expression.

In fact, there are many people who can find Shadow Knights, and many wizard apprentices can do it, but Scarface, the knight who can find Shadow Knights, has never heard of it, unless they have wizard methods on them.

"Could it be that Helena's mother left any means, impossible. If that were the case, that Fairhouse guy would have been used in the Night Fortress a long time ago, how could he still be unknown now. ”

Scarface quickly ruled out one possibility after another.

"They're already on guard, and it's hard to kill them. It's better to complete the master's task first, and don't spend your mind on your personal grudges. Otherwise, if you don't do what the master explains, you can understand the consequences. ”

The Shadow Demon Knight said coldly.

The thought of the Shadow Knight's master immediately filled Scarface's eyes with fear.

The methods of wizards are really mysterious, and when they fall into their hands, death is often a luxury.

"I understand that it's the same to come back after the mission is complete, it's just that it's just a matter of postponing their deaths. ”

Scarface sneered, "When the time comes, not only Fairhouse Castle, but all the nobles around Turing City, I will make them pay the price of blood for my son." ”

"Whatever you want, as long as you don't miss the master's task, I'll go and rest first. ”

The Shadow Knight finished speaking and disappeared into the darkness.

Scarface snorted coldly and beckoned the team in the distance to pull out, it seemed that there was no need to play hide and seek with the noble alliance.

"Helena, Leo, are you all right. ”

As soon as he returned to the castle, Baron Fairhouse hugged Helena and said.

"Of course it's fine, but I almost can't see you. ”

Seeing Fairhouse return, Helena's eyes reddened slightly.

In order to give confidence to the people, she always maintained the demeanor of a baroness, and personally presided over all the affairs of the castle, but who could understand the fear in her heart.

"Well done, Leo. You've surprised me so much, and you deserve to be my son. ”

Fairhouse patted Leo on the shoulder hard.

"Just did what was supposed to be done. ”

Leo said lightly.

He felt that his strength was increasing every day, and the godhead's ability to transform him was too strong.

He had a feeling that in a few days, he would be able to become a mid-level knight, and even if he met that Shadow Demon Knight, he would be able to suppress him steadily.

"Did you kill Scarface?"

Helena asked.

"No, when they got the news from you, they thought you were lying. But unexpectedly, we were assassinated next, and five knights and dozens of knight squires were killed in a row. In the end, they believed your words, and they no longer dared to chase them, so they could only let them go. ”

Fairhouse said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

This time, Tus City gathered a dozen knights and hundreds of reserve knights and knight squires, hoping to take out Scarface's gang with an overwhelming advantage.

But he didn't expect to be killed by an injured Shadow Demon Knight, which shows the prestige of the Shadow Demon Knight.

"What a bunch of shit, so many people can't kill a wounded Shadow Knight. ”

Helena couldn't help but scold.

Fairhouse couldn't help but smile bitterly, the Shadow Demon Knight really launched a fight, there was no big knight in charge, no one was his opponent at all, and even he didn't want to fight him.

Leo and Ba Ben can drive it away with heavy blows, which can only be described as a miracle.

"It seems that Scarface has taken refuge in the Canaan Empire, otherwise there would be no Shadow Demon Knight with him. ”

After Fairhouse waved the crowd away, leaving only Leo and Helena, the three of them talking as they walked.

"That's right. ”

Helena nodded, in fact, there is another possibility, that is, Scarface has taken refuge in a wizard apprentice, but this possibility Fairhouse and Helena automatically filter.

Wizard apprentices were so rare that even in the Night Fortress, Fairhouse had never seen a single apprentice in the Wizard Vault.

"Why the hell did you say he came to our empire?"

Fairhouse asked.

No one can answer this question, it is estimated that many people are having a headache now, is there going to be any big move in the Canaan Empire.

However, they believe that something big will happen soon, but it is not something they are worried about.

Fairhausburg was under martial law for a while, but finally came to relax.

However, the thought that Scarface could be killed back at any time made Leo's desire to become stronger even more urgent.

On the training ground, Leo continued to train in sweat.

The most suitable training method for himself, coupled with the continuous strengthening of the godhead, made his strength stronger at an incredible speed.

His sword was getting faster and faster, and he believed that he would soon break through.

The fighting qi in the dantian has also become bigger and bigger, and it has already become the size of a thumb.

And it rotates slowly, absorbing the energy emitted by the godhead, and has a tendency to turn to light black.

Leo's expression changed, and he quickly stabbed out ten swords.

Snort!

The training ground was full of vindictiveness, and its color really turned pale black.

And the pale black fighting qi is like a flame, attached to the cross sword, giving people a sense of evil.

This is?

Leo looked at all this with great surprise, he looked inward into the dantian, and found that the fighting qi in the dantian changed rapidly, gradually turning into light black.

Name: Leo Fairhouse

Age: 15

Class: Intermediate Knight

Special Ability: Eye of the Immortal (Sealed)

The fighting spirit of the underworld

The sole heir of Baron Fairhouse, with 1% of the blood of the gods.

"It's been amazing. ”

Leo said excitedly.

Although I don't know what the use of this Immortal Fighting Qi is, I know that it is a good thing when I think about it.
