Chapter 25: Killing Intent
There was a tooth-aching sound when the warehouse door opened. The clouds moved slightly away from the silver moon, and a beam of light entered through the door and shone into the warehouse.
Inside, a man stood alone, a dark Shadow Warrior armor visible in the faint moonlight, but his face was hidden in the shadows.
Gustav was pushed inside by Aaron.
"The man has been brought, my lordship. Gako said with a smile, and there was even a hint of flattery in the look in his eyes as he looked at the Shadow Warrior. "As you commanded, you did not threaten or harm him in any way. ”
"Very well, even if it is a small boss who does not enter the stream, our Nightchild is still very efficient. The Shadow Warrior's armor collided with the ground with a sonorous sound, and his tone was low, even hoarse, "Stand out first." ”
Gaco was clearly anticipating such a situation.
"Don't dare to disturb. Gaco bowed humbly, and retreated directly backwards with the four big men behind him, their silhouettes blurred, as if they had disappeared into the night without careful observation.
The clouds in the sky seemed to have almost dispersed, and this time the moonlight was able to shine smoothly down from the skylight of the warehouse.
The man took a step forward, and this time, Gustav was able to see His face. However, the opponent's whole body was covered with pitch-black armor, and even his face was covered. Gustav smelled a smell of sulfur from Him.
He is a member of the Abyss rank and has the blood of an Abyss Demon......
Only the eyes of the armor's face are hollowed out, and you can see the dark red and bright colors inside.
Suddenly, a shadow loomed over Gustav. Unlike the silence and serenity of the night, there is clearly a strong emotion in this shadow. The shadow was like a mass of non-humanoid creatures lying on the ground, extending countless dark tentacles that wound around Gustav from all sides.
Feelings of unease, helplessness, and panic began to envelop Gustav's mind, and these emotions were not self-inflicted, but were driven by the shadows in front of him. Breathing began to become short, and the enthusiasm in the blood began to fade, leaving Gustav weak.
Instinctively, Gustav's breathing became shorter to produce more heat. He was only an inferior forbidden demon physique, and he could not resist the power of this abyss.
"Who are you, and why did you 'invite' me here?" Gustav could feel that the strength of the other party was far beyond his own range.
He is at least a seventh-level professional, and his physical fitness and skills are above that of me, a 'rookie...... It's not the first time Gustav has experienced a life-and-death crisis, but this time he doesn't know the background of the other party at all.
Tilting his head slightly, those red eyes seemed to make a trajectory in the darkness.
"I'm not afraid of you telling you, I'm sure Gaco has conveyed to you the will and reputation of our Children of the Night on the way here. The other party's words were obviously full of reason: "So for the safety of yourself and your family and friends, it is better to listen to me." ”
As if feeling that the atmosphere had been set in place, the Shadow Warrior in front of him continued: "But it is not the Children of the Night themselves who are looking for you tonight, I am here to throw friendship to you on behalf of the Quelt family of the Gustan Dynasty. ”
Friendly...... Gustav cursed inwardly.
"With all due respect, I don't really know its name from a small place in the middle of nowhere. Gustav's words were slightly playful: "Moreover, I think this way is far from being friendly. ”
The shadow, which had been dormant on the ground, suddenly became frantic and pounced on Gustav.
Gustav felt countless dark forces burrowing into his body from his pores, and wherever the darkness passed, his muscles and blood were cursed, and he was completely convulsed and convulsed. Pain, great pain, like a steel needle pricking, like a soul being swept directly by a spiritual storm, such pain struck Gustav, making all his nerves completely useless in an instant.
Like a shrimp, Gustav lost control of his legs and fell face down. Hunched over and enduring great pain, Gustav gritted his teeth, not wanting to show weakness in front of his enemies.
The left cheek hit the ground, and Gustav's face was covered with dust.
The Shadow Warrior took a small step forward.
With Gustav's current vision, all he could see was his feet in pitch-black plate armor.
"Croquert. Condescendingly, looking at Gustav coldly, the Shadow Warrior mentioned a name, "Do you have an impression? ”
It's the snake man-like guy...... Gustav shuddered as he remembered the man. In the arcane class, the person who once provoked Catherine and questioned the Auster family. Also from the famous family of the Gustan Dynasty, a disgusting guy with demonic blood!
"Chloe has commissioned us Nightchild to come to you in the hope that you will be able to do something for him. The Shadow Warrior withdrew some of his strength, and Gustav's pain was instantly alleviated.
"Hah...... Ha...... Ha ...... "Gustav breathed as if he had been fished out of deep water.
"It is said that you are now close to Catherine of the Oster family, and Chloe needs you to do something for him. The Shadow Warrior crouched down, his right hand resting on his right leg, his left hand outstretched, and he gently patted Gustav on the cheek. "The conditions are also very good, as long as you agree, Chloe promises to provide you with the career path of the 'Bloodthirsty Demon', and have the opportunity to become a knight of his family in the future. ”
Gustav was covered in cold sweat and almost lost his sense of struggle.
"What happens if I don't agree?" Gustav asked coldly, "Did you just kill me?"
The Shadow Warrior shook his head.
"In fact, Gustav's will has no reference value in this matter. There was no emotion in His Word: "I will plant a curse for you, and every night when the night is over, you will be as miserable as you were just now." But I still suggest that even after making an agreement with Chloe, you'd better be quicker. Otherwise, with the passage of time, you will only be slowly consumed by this curse without results......"
The Shadow Warrior's right hand was extended again, resting on Gustav's head.
The cold and terrifying fluctuations condensed in his hand, and he continued: "For the sake of your own life, as a walker in the dark, I still advise you to think about it more. ”
Vicious, filthy, ugly, evil, such energy began to exude an unpleasant aura, and the Shadow Warrior was preparing a curse.
"Shadow Warrior Rash, hereby request the Dread Mother of the Night in the middle of the night......"
Gustav's vision gradually darkened completely, and his ears were full of strange murmurs and malice.
If I could escape and ascend to heaven...... Gustav's heart was full of reluctance and anger.
The Shadow Warrior's chant reaches its final stage: "Engrave the will of the Mother of Night, and engrave this graceful and beautiful dark inscription in your name." ”
The black light was like thick muddy water, which seemed to turn into a liquid state, dripping down from the palm of Shadow Knight's right hand!
