Chapter 40: The Desperate Situation of the Sword
The roar of the thunderstorm made Hughes not far away feel a lot of pressure, and in order to avoid being swept away by the lightning strikes that did not last long, he retreated to the door of the forbidden prison.
In his opinion, who is confident in Roy Shilin's strength, the two ** divisions who have entered the legendary realm join forces, and even gods can't bear it. And as a pure swordsman, Hughes naturally couldn't meddle in the fighting methods of the two legendary ** masters and the Abyss Lord, not to mention that there were more important things waiting for him to do.
He's going to check what's going on inside the Forbidden Prison now.
There are all kinds of signs that the Ninth Abyss Lord still has accomplices, otherwise he would not have directly found the Forbidden Demon Prison.
Just as Hughes was about to step into the forbidden prison, a roar rushed open the hidden metal door, and the stench on his face made Hughes take a few steps back.
In the middle of this, several huge black shadows rushed out of the narrow prison door.
"Haha, I'm finally free! I'm finally free!"
"Damn war mage, I want you to pay with blood!"
A few monsters that didn't seem to have anything to do with humans breathed in the fresh air they hadn't seen in a long time, and shouted loudly. Immediately afterwards, more and more prisoners rushed up from the prison. In the chaotic scene, there was also a pretty figure who came out of it.
"Don't forget your promise that it is the great Maje Moolis who has given you freedom. In return, you must offer your loyalty. Katrina did not forget to remind these freed men to know who was the benefactor who rescued them.
"Fart!" said a monster with a bull's head, "I just said casually to you just because I came out, don't think that I will offer my loyalty to some bullshit abyss lord." If you dare to mention this again, I will eat you in one bite. ”
The two-tall minotaur yelled at Katrina, and the spit from his mouth even fell to the beauty's neck.
Before Katrina could react aggressively, the huge demon bear that meekly leaned against her side roared and threw the minotaur directly to the ground, and then raised his right paw and jerked it fiercely, slapping the minotaur's head away.
The bloody scene suddenly shocked some prisoners who still wanted to be imposing.
"Well done, Teddy, worthy of my good pet. By the way, do you have any objections?" Katrina patted the bear that was already lying low beside her.
Looking at the giant bear lying on the ground and half taller than ordinary people, the prisoners who knew that they couldn't fight the mad bear Teddy chose to give in. However, the small group of prisoners who were tougher than Teddy the Mad Bear did not bother to say anything, because they sensed another beast not far away.
Hughes, who stood quietly, clenched his sword tightly, and the murderous aura like a dead silence made people shudder.
"There are cows, bears and tigers, crocodiles. Oh my God, is this forbidden prison a zoo, how can all these animals be locked up in it? Hughes said with a smile, stepping towards the prisoners who had just come out of prison, "The outside world is very dangerous, if you don't want to die, just go back to me." ”
Being provoked by Hughes like this, Teddy, the mad bear, who was still selling cuteness, suddenly stood up, his shuffling hair made it look even bigger, and his hideous bear mouth showed snow-white fangs. Although Teddy knew that the person in front of him was quite difficult, loyalty to Katrina overrode the beast's instinct.
After a stalemate between the two sides for a while, the mad bear suddenly shrank back slightly, and then his huge body pounced on the swordsman in front of him.
The first claw slapped missed, and the second hit even got the direction wrong. The successive failed attacks were not due to the misjudgment of Teddy the Mad Bear, but that Hughes was simply too fast. This superhuman speed is not even clear to Katrina, who is watching from the sidelines.
After flashing a few blows from Teddy the Mad Bear, Hughes was already a little impatient, and he had to deal with the trouble as soon as possible and see if he could support Roy Shilin and them.
"Streamer!"
I saw a flash of cold light, and then the side of Teddy's left paw broke in two, and the blood that spurted out of it flowed like a fountain.
"Teddy!" Katrina, who witnessed the scene, couldn't help but scream.
This cry obviously didn't help, and then there was another cold light, and the huge bear body was slashed by the bright long sword. While the sword didn't disembowel Teddy Mad Bear, it was enough to make him lie down.
The moment the huge bear body collapsed, Hughes didn't have time to lament the weakness of his opponent when he was attacked with revenge.
With a twist of his right wrist and his side, Hughes retracted his sword to block the oncoming black scythe.
"You killed Teddy, I will never let you go!" Katrina had become extremely crazy at this moment, and she vowed to smash the person in front of her to pieces. During her years in captivity, Teddy Mad Bear was her best pet. Now that she was cut down by Hughes as if nothing happened, how could this not make her angry.
"Demon Flow Attachment: Shadow Moon Blade!"
The moment Katrina, who couldn't succeed in one blow, retreated, her left hand had already smeared a layer of shadow on the Black Moon Scythe, and the rapidly spreading dim attachment made the Black Moon Scythe several times larger.
Hughes, who didn't quite understand the effects of the Demon Flow attachment, was a little cautious, and with a flick of his sword, he once again blocked Katrina's volley slash. He was amazed that the pale shadow was as strong as the Black Moon Scythe itself. The feeling of the sword coming back told him that it was definitely not a simple magic enchantment.
"This is the rumored Demon Flow attachment, which is pretty good, and it seems that it will be necessary to study it well in the future. Hughes said with a smile as he carefully observed the gigantic Black Moon Scythe.
"Now you don't have a chance to research, you have to die here!" because mad bear Teddy died. And Katrina, who had lost her mind, said fiercely, "Die, damn swordsman!"
"Shadow Blade Mess!"
The shadow-colored scythe turned into countless shadows after being raised in the air, and then all poured down on the swordsman who had been smiling all along. The massive Shadow Moon Blade was like an indiscernible phantom in the mist of light, and its powerful slash even slashed through the surrounding air, forming a wind blade comparable to a sharp sword.
The shadow blade that seemed to destroy everything still failed, and the confident swordsman relied on this senses beyond ordinary people to see the trajectory of each chaotic sword shadow clearly, and responded one by one.
"Dawn breaks!"
The sword in Hughes's hand suddenly turned into a dawn that broke through the darkness, and then the burst of light met the oncoming chaos. The infinite sword light blocked every slash of the Shadow Moon Blade, and even defused the Wind Blade created by the Shadow Blade Blade.
The indistinct sword light formed a sword realm where no flaws could be seen at all, and the attack of the shadow blade chaos collapsed at once. The Black Moon Scythe, which had transformed into the Shadow Moon Blade, was also bounced back by Hughes's sword, and Katrina could barely hold her weapon.
Seeing that her strongest move was easily defused by the person in front of her, Katrina in anger finally regained some sanity. After the Shadow Moon Blade flickered for a moment, she pulled away, avoiding Hughes's invincible sword desperation.
However, his opponent did not give her a respite. Grasping Katrina's retreating steps, Hughes took a half-step forward for the first time, the sword in his hand already aimed at a key point and stabbed diagonally. The longsword was cleverly slammed into a node near the hilt of the Black Moon Scythe, a weakness that Hughes had detected in the defense just now.
Seeing that the scythe in her hand was suppressed by the opponent's long sword, but the opponent was not in a hurry to attack, Katrina was a little confused, but instinctively told her what the purpose of this must be: "What are you doing here?"
"What I'm going to do, you'll know what I'm going to do!" Hughes smiled slightly, and with a suffrage of his hand, the long sword faintly cut into the junction of the Demon Flow Attachment and the blade of the Black Moon Scythe.
After seeing this scene, Katrina couldn't help but be shocked, and tried her best to shake off Hughes's long sword, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not break free from the opponent's entanglement.
The point of invasion of Hughes's longsword is the weakness of the Shadow Moon Blade, and Katrina, who has not yet reached the perfect level of the magic flow attachment, is unable to handle the combination of the magic flow attachment and the Black Moon Scythe itself, so that there is a defect in the attachment. Although this flaw is not visible to ordinary people, it was discovered by the battle-hardened Hughes through a single attack.
The longsword slowly cut into the shadow-colored attachment, and when the sword was close to the Black Moon Scythe itself, Hughes slammed it hard, and the long sword peeled off the attachment attached to the Black Moon Scythe itself like a broken bamboo tube.
The moment the shadow attached left the Black Moon Scythe, it turned into an invisible existence and dissipated into the air. In just a short moment, Katrina used a quarter of the magic attached to the Shadow Moon Blade to be destroyed by Hughes in the simplest way.
Once again, Katrina, shocked by Hughes's prowess, retreated back to the prisoners, wondering why she had encountered such a terrifying swordsman. You must know that Ye Falan is a city of mages, and those super-first-class swordsmen have never disdained to come here.
With a swing of Hughes's long sword, the cold light on the sword poured on the ground like flowing water, and the invisible sword qi cut a terrifying deep ravine ten meters behind him.
"Let's go up together, if anyone can break through the sword marks behind me, I, Hughes, will definitely not embarrass him for half a point!"
It's a bit of a rhetoric, but Hughes thinks he can do it.
"Hughes? Someone from the prisoner said.
As soon as these words came out, it was followed by a boiling tickle.
"It can't be that Hughes, who is known as the Aurora Sword Saint, how can he be here?"
"Damn, we just ran into this plague god when we just went out. ”
Most of the prisoners in the Forbidden Prison are some of the most vicious people, and they finally remember the rumors they had heard about Hughes during their years on the run. A terrifying legend of the swordsman befell them, and suddenly fear and despair began to make some people question whether they could escape.
Looking at the long sword with oblique fingers, Katrina, who had already fought it, knew the bottomless strength of the person in front of her. She never expected that the rumored Sword Saint would appear here, which she never expected.
In the distance, the Ninth Abyss Lord Mooris was entangled with two legendary mages, and a frustrated Katrina gritted her teeth, intending to break into the sword desperation of Sword Saint Hughes once again.
Even if everything is put together, Katrina will help Moorlis complete his plan to open the Abyss of a Thousand Pupils. Because at this moment, she can no longer lose her only remaining sustenance.
ps: The two battles before the Forbidden Motorcycle Prison are basically the ** of this volume, can anyone predict the development?
