013: Corrupted by nightmares
Eve walked towards Arthur step by step, and Arthur only felt a chill down his spine, as if he was being targeted by a ferocious beast, and did not dare to make a move. Besides, given that Arthur had seen the power of the black mist, he didn't think he could do anything about it at this time.
But he subconsciously took a fighting stance, almost instinctively, and Arthur regretted it immediately afterwards - because his actions clearly angered Eve, who was in a state of delirium, and Eve's eyes flashed red, as if her anger had solidified into a physical object.
It's over, Arthur thought, he had seen a future in which he was stabbed through the throat with a sword, and if nothing unexpected happened, it would be doomed.
Eve let out a low roar and rushed at Arthur with his sword raised. Arthur only felt that one second, Eve was still motionless, and the next second, he was already standing in front of him. Luckily, the unexpected came, so Arthur's future didn't turn out as he had hoped.
I saw Eve's body suddenly freeze, and then she covered her shoulder in pain, and a small blow arrow was stuck in it. It turned out that Arthur's appearance had caught Eve's attention, and Flower took the opportunity to shoot Eve with his own tranquilizer arrow, which he had carefully concocted, which was originally used to catch ferocious beasts, and it came in handy at this time.
But Eve didn't fall, and the anesthetic wasn't as strong as he thought. "Spirit, listen to me......," said Flor, chanting a spell as Eve recovered her strength and prepared to banish the nightmare from her body in one fell swoop.
The spell was not long, and Flower quickly finished chanting, only to see the soft green light emitted from the stick in his hand, and then, under his guidance, the green light flew out of his short staff and shot towards Eve.
When the black mist saw the green light, it was like encountering a natural enemy, fluctuating and dodging fiercely, but whenever it touched the part of the green light, it disappeared in an instant. Flower couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the spell worked, but soon, he became nervous again - although the spell worked, more black mist continued to pour out of Eve's body, and the energy of the green light was constantly consumed, and it was about to be unable to support it.
Arthur saw the scene too, and he realized what he had to do. Suddenly, he remembered that Eve had told him that her strange power had come from the black stabbing sword. At this time, Eve was close at hand, and because of the green light, she seemed to be in pain, and she had no time to take care of Arthur in front of her. Faced with a golden opportunity, Arthur decided to take a chance, and he broke into the black mist and reached for Eve's sword.
Surprisingly, the black mist did not hurt Arthur, but the problem was still not solved - after Arthur broke into the black mist, he was shocked to find that countless plant-like vines stretched out of the sword, tightly wrapped around Eve's right hand, and wanted to snatch it with brute force, unless Eve's right hand was cut off.
Flower noticed Arthur's actions and hurriedly reminded. "Get out of her! I can't hold on!" Arthur was torn at the moment, but he didn't want to give up. Eve was a little relieved at this point, and when she saw Arthur clutching her sword-holding right hand, she let out a roar and threw Arthur aside by brute force.
Arthur was lying on the ground, falling so hard that he couldn't move for a while. But he could hear Eve approaching him, and it only took two steps for a sword to pierce his back.
Flower was also very anxious at the moment, he couldn't cast spells continuously, not to mention that this was already his strongest purification spell, and it didn't work. "Ah, beware!" Flauer tried to stop Eve, but he rushed up, but Eve waved his hand without looking back, and Frouer fell in embarrassment.
Arthur had already looked back, Eve had already walked in front of him, the dark tip of the sword was shining with an eerie light, Arthur didn't want to do this, but he didn't want to lose his life so early. With a wave of his hand, dust flew out, and Arthur grabbed a handful of dirt when he fell, a move he had learned in a fight with a ruffian, but he didn't expect it to be used here. obscured Eve's view. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Arthur hurriedly ran away.
This behavior completely angered the crazy Eve, as if she had really moved her killing intent at this moment. He screamed like a devil's cry from hell, sending shudder to Arthur and Flower.
But at that moment, a shadow rushed out of Eve's side at lightning speed and slashed at Eve's façade. Eve took the blow with ease, but the man's sword surged like the sea, and it continued to attack Eve's vital points at a tricky angle.
The person who came was none other than the "Storm Swordsman" Vidocq de Ryk, who was known for his swordsmanship, and the name of the Storm Swordsman was well deserved. His swords were like a tidal wave, one move after another, and the move was so fatal that Eve was so suppressed that she couldn't fight back.
But Eve's strength and speed at the moment are beyond the reach of mortals. Soon, Eve got used to Vidocq's moves and began to fight back gradually. Every attack puts Vidocq in danger.
Another deadly stabbing blow forced Vidocq to retreat to the defensive. Eve was about to take advantage of the victory, when some plants suddenly grew under her feet and wrapped around her ankles. Arthur jumped out and hugged Eve from behind, making her unable to do so.
Seeing such a good opportunity, Vidocq prepared to step forward and take Eve down in one fell swoop. "Wait! Vidocq! this is Eve!" Arthur didn't care about being polite in times of crisis, and called him by his first name.
Vidocq paused, and he felt that the person in front of him was a little familiar, but he didn't expect it to be Eve. But then, he stepped forward again, and then struck Eve's chin with his shoulder.
The blow seemed to have an effect, and Eve's body went limp, and her whole body went limp. Arthur hugged her and put her down, only to see the fog on her body slowly disappear, and the vines in her right hand also retracted. Soon, she calmed down.
"O Goddess of Mercicity...... What the hell is going on?" Vidocq's right hand was dripping with blood, his wound ropen from the previous battle. But at this moment, Eve's haggard, pale face shocked Vidocq even more.
"Oh my God! I've never seen anyone who has been corrupted by nightmares to this point! It's terrible, she's like a campfire, but it's not a fire that burns, it's a 'nightmare'!" Flower also had a lingering heart, he boasted that he was familiar with these supernatural powers, but Eve had more than he could have imagined.
"It's a long story...... Is there anything you can do, Mr. Flower?" asked Arthur, who couldn't do anything about it, and Flower sounded like an expert on the subject.
Flower struggled to recall what he had learned. "I'm afraid...... I need some preparation...... I'm not sure, damn, I'm not sure, I've never heard of a nightmare eroding me to this point, I'm afraid, this lady has ......" Flower looked at Arthur worriedly. “...... I'm afraid it's not the original her anymore. ”
