Chapter 15: Blood and Darkness
Catherine frowned and confirmed again: "Gustav, you can only inscribe arcane models, but you can't use arcane arts?"
Gustav could feel the heat radiating from his face. According to Joseph's judgment, he may have a factor that can use arcane arts, but the activation principle of this factor is not clear.
Catherine's right index finger gently curled up the hair at the end of her hair, and she was lost in thought. Her temperament is a little unkind, and now she makes Gustav even more worried.
"If you're having a hard time deciding whether you should continue with the group structure, my advice is to disband first. Gustav was not discouraged, but correctly analyzed the current situation: "Until I find the corresponding solution, Catherine, you can go to Kasha." ”
Catherine's sapphire eyes stared at Gustav.
Such an atmosphere can not be called ambiguous, and Gustav knew that the other party was likely to be a pragmatist, and he was mentally prepared for the subsequent arrangement.
Hair spread from her index finger, and Catherine unleashed Thurman's crystal sword. The ice sword that radiated a cold chill was summoned again, and Catherine's actions made it impossible to see what was really going on in her heart.
With her right hand from the bottom up, Catherine's crystal sword suddenly stabbed Gustav in the left eye. The crystal sword wrapped in cold air came so fast, like a flying arrow.
Cold sweat broke out, and in response to stress, Gustav pulled his neck and turned his head sideways before the crystal sword arrived.
She's going to kill me?!
Unable to think too much about it, Gustav's knees flexed slightly, and he quickly catapulted backwards. After coming to this world, his physical fitness was inexplicably strengthened, and this time the ejection retreated by more than two meters.
He didn't carry a sword, not even a dagger.
Catherine's feet accelerated, and she was fast enough to support him in a fifth of a second to launch a second attack on an enemy so close.
The crystal sword struck again, this time a sharp stab in the sword's technique, aimed at the center of Gustav's forehead. At the same time, an icy rune appeared on Catherly's left hand, and a cloud of hoarfrost rose around Gustav, wrapping around it like a snake. The hoarfrost penetrated through Gustav's clothing and the muscles stiffened with the cold as it invaded.
At this moment, Gustav gritted his teeth and leaned back like a tree that had been torn apart. The crystal sword slashed across his forehead, sticking to the blood, freezing it again. After this time, the cold of the hoarfrost completely eroded Gustav's body, making it difficult for him to move again.
Lunatic!
Gustav had fallen into despair, repositioned himself and stood up straight. He closed his eyes and waited for the final blow.
However, the severed sword did not cut off.
A cold wind emanating from the crystal sword could be felt on his cheeks, and Gustav opened his eyes. The crystal sword was three centimeters in front of him, and it stopped steadily.
Catherine obviously didn't use all her strength, at least she hadn't activated Thurman's bloodline, and she was still in an ordinary state.
"Since I have regarded you as a member of the group, you and I were comrades-in-arms until the lecturer announced the dissolution of the group. Catherine said earnestly: "The men of Oster will never stab the sword in the back of the alliance, but they will not ally with the weak. ”
So what exactly do you mean?!
Gustav could feel the hoarfrost around him dissipate and Catherine regain her strength.
"Your physical fitness is average, but it's still an ingredient that you can exercise, and you react quickly. Catherine's blue eyes reflected Gustav's face. "Perhaps, you can act as a Warlord until the arcane problems are resolved. ”
However, my dream is to become an Arcanist, and Gustav was about to say no, but Catherine interrupted him: "You are limited by my 'frost', but you can still maintain a certain speed. So, Gustav, your trait is Demon Breaker?"
Letting the crystal sword dissipate again, Catherine narrowed her eyes and examined Gustav in front of her.
"No, the Demon Breaker trait naturally dispels Frost, and you're just slowly 'dissolving' the magic. Catherine clasped her hands around her chest: "According to this phenomenon, you are a forbidden demon trait." ”
Now that he knew that the other party had no killing intent towards him, but only after some kind of test, Gustav relieved his tension and nodded: "This is true, but it is not a complete forbidden demon, but a second-class forbidden demon." ”
Catherine had apparently guessed about such a phenomenon, and bowed slightly.
"Remember, the quality of forbidden demons has limitations. It only targets arcane energy, and does not create immunity to powers such as evil powers, will of the Abyss, etc. Catherine pointed to the martial arts training ground not far away and motioned to move forward. "Before the upper limit of the forbidden trait, this trait was very effective against arcane. However, in the face of the abyss, or the power of hell, there is some powerlessness. ”
Gustav's face was a little strange: "Do you mean that I should become a warrior of the Abyss Department, and devote myself to the great cause of recovering the Abyss and liberating all demons?"
The corners of Catherine's mouth turned up, clearly moved by Gustav's words.
"It is true that among the fighters of the Abyss Department, the Black Soul Warrior and the Blood Curse Gladiator are all good choices. Moreover, as a member of Oster, I do have the option of training knights among my rights. Catherine's words regained her composure: "But, Gustav, you don't want to join the demon camp of course, don't you? The people of the Arcane Second Republic have always been extremely cautious about the professions of the power of the Abyss. ”
Gustav nodded.
"That's true, I didn't throw myself into the dark thoughts. ”
"Then perhaps, you can try a class like the Demon Revelator. Catherine's words were advice, but they were so self-aware that she could be heard. "This is an option in the Abyss Conqueror class series, and choosing such a class will not damage your reputation. ”
Demonic Revelator?
"This career path is not from the Gustan dynasty," Catherine explained, apparently recognizing Gustav's thoughts, "This is the class evolution route that your arcane plane once developed. You should know Genaro, the 'Dark Inquisitor' during the First Arcane Republic, right?"
Gustav shook his head.
Catherine apparently had a new understanding of Gustav's 'ignorance'.
"Genaro is the Arcane Glorious Knight of the Arcane Empire, and after the famous plane battle in your arcane history, Genaro chose to shatter the Arcane Knowledge, combined with the Demon Hunter class, and advanced to a new legendary name: Dark Inquisitor. Catherine continued: "After the establishment of the Arcane Empire, it caused a lot of movement. That plane battle involved a lot of big people. There is also someone in the abyss who has made a move, it is the lord of the twenty-fifth layer, Assar. ”
"The last Arcane Emperor, Elsaro II, was killed by Assar during that plane battle. As a Knight of Radiance, Genaro remorsefully failed to save him, shattering the foundation of the arcane arts and taking revenge on the abyss with blood. ”
