Chapter 21: The Hunt in Dreams
"Tom is dead at Merlin's hands, and the blood of the Lord has come into contact with him."
"You actually put the Blood Catalyst on Tom, you seem to know him well, old thing."
Three wizards in black robes surrounded the pool of blood, and if anyone could stand in front of them at this moment, they would find that there were no human faces under the pitch-black robes.
There was only a dark mass of nothingness tumbling with transparent tentacles.
"Yes, hehe. If you've been hunted down by this old guy for a hundred years, you'll know him well. ”
Hawkes's voice was cold, and underneath the hoarse voice was Merlin's endless hatred.
"Who to start with?" Hawkes looked up, and the pool of blood boiled with his movements.
"Green, what's your plan?"
The dark wizard known as Green sneered.
"Isn't Merlin the self-proclaimed strongest white wizard who likes to protect everyone in the face of danger? Well, we'll give him this chance! ”
"The Lord's divine blood is only for this, and to be on the safe side, we need to choose a suitable target as a medium."
"Who?"
"Ludwig, the one who captured White, the strongest and youngest Grand Knight of the Church."
……
The strangulation of the Dark Wizard lasted from early morning until late evening.
Night falls.
North of Arkham, Ludwig led five knights of the Church through the streets.
Almost all of the residents here have been evacuated for various reasons, and at the moment the residents of Arkham Town are almost concentrated in the southern part of the church area, and even in case of emergency, they can quickly evacuate along the main road.
At the end of the day, however, Ludwig's harvest was extremely low.
Except for a few dark wizards who were holding a sacrificial ritual at the beginning, they only found many clues that the dark wizards had evacuated in a hurry, but they didn't catch anyone again.
If Merlin hadn't kept an eye on the town and made sure no dark wizards escaped, Ludwig would have thought the manhunt was over.
But this also proves that there must be remnants of other forbidden forces in Arkham Town at this moment, blocking Merlin's spiritual exploration.
Soon, they walked to another street.
The holy sword in Ludwig's hand suddenly trembled slightly.
"There is a situation!"
Before he could speak, the rest of the knights quickly dispersed with great professionalism, and the weapons in their hands were unsheathed one after another.
Ludwig looked around, following the guidance of the holy sword in his hand, and soon found a pool of blood not far away.
"It's a legacy of black witchcraft."
This bloodstain exudes a strong ominous aura, and it does not resemble anything flowing in a person's veins at all.
Ludwig recognized it at a glance as the result of the witchcraft of the Dark Wizard's escape.
"Chase!"
Following the guidance of the Holy Sword, Ludwig and several knights quickly rushed towards the end of the street.
Just passed around a corner.
"Roar—"
The brick wall was suddenly torn open by giant claws, and a blood-red beast with a body full of three or four meters long broke through the wall.
The two-handed greatsword that radiated holy light swung in Ludwig's hand, stirring up a storm that could tear through the steel, blocking everyone.
Rumble!!!
The ground is broken.
Ludwig fell backwards in the air, his feet digging into a deep furrow in the ground.
The smoke cleared.
The monster finally appeared in front of the knights.
The pure red body resembles a beast whose fur has been stripped raw, revealing a scarlet skin wrapped in veins, and its sharp claws are sharp but overlapping, making it an effective killing weapon.
The most terrifying thing was the monster's face, and under its gaze, even the battle-hardened knights of the church only felt a chill in their backs.
It had no eyes, one might even say no face of some kind, and its skull split like a man-eating flower, splitting into four mouths full of jagged fangs.
It was a hound, and although it did not bear any resemblance to the canine, Ludwig had such an illusion at the first sight of the monster.
"Shhhh
The monster moved, and the sword that had just been slashed by Ludwig did not seem to have any effect on it at all.
Boom!
The blade of the sword clashed with the monster's bare muscles, and there was a sound of gold and iron, and the blade that was enough to cut through the steel could not hurt him at all.
"Holy Judge!"
Ludwig's body was roundabout, his two-handed giant sword was secretly skillful, and one dodged to pick up the monster, and the terrifying holy light converged on the blade of the sword.
The rest of the knights were not idle, and when the time came, the five men raised their knightly swords, and the holy light penetrated Ludwig from their shields.
Rumble!
Pure light sliced through the monster's skin, embedded deep in the marrow.
Good!
Ludwig's eyes lit up, the Holy Light was the nemesis of a black witchcraft creation, although he had never seen this kind of monster, but as long as it was a black witchcraft creation, it would inevitably be defeated by the Holy Light.
The holy light swelled inside the monster's body, and the blood-red afterimage tore through the sharpness of the Holy Judgment.
A dull sound came from Ludwig's side.
The blood-red tail easily shattered the knight's shield in front of him, and with undiminished tendency, it shattered its sternum as it ran far to the end of the street.
"Muki!"
Ludwig's pupils constricted, the holy light slowly disappeared, the monster landed lightly, and the wound on his waist and abdomen slowly flowed blood.
The light did break through the monster's defenses, but it had no other effect.
What kind of monster is this?
Ludwig suddenly realized that he didn't feel the breath of black magic from the monster.
"Roar—"
Hit by the Holy Judge, the monster seemed to be completely unharmed, and it charged again.
It glanced at Ludwig, who was standing in front of him, and suddenly made a strange move.
His hind limbs flexed slightly, and the next moment he leaped into the air.
"Hmph, want to escape?"
Ludwig snorted coldly, and the whole person rose to the ground, and the two-handed giant sword was danced into a helicopter propeller by him.
That's when it happened.
The monster suddenly disappeared.
It disappeared in front of Ludwig in an extremely strange way, and in the latter's astonished eyes, the other four knights appeared behind them.
This is not a beast without wisdom.
The cunning behavior was like a male fox, which made Ludwig's heart cold.
"Quick! Behind. ”
He desperately reminded his companions, but the speed of the monster was simply not something that these knights could react to.
The long, scarlet tail burst through the air, enveloping the backs of the four knights in front of it.
"Holy Judgment."
The old man's voice was not as powerful as Ludwig's, but it was like an emperor writing his will to his subordinates, his pen as light as a feather, and his supreme will as heavy as Mount Tai.
The sky seemed to be robbed of all light in this moment.
A beam of light so bright that it was almost bright itself descended from the sky, straight through the behemoth's head.
"Mr. Merlin!" Ludwig's face was ecstatic.
It's the Great Wizard!
Merlin landed slowly, he held the wooden staff and tapped the ground gently, and a flash of holy light enveloped the knight who had just been sent flying.
Instant healing.
Looking at the dead beast on the ground, Merlin frowned, and his words had never been so solemn.
"It's not a creature of our world."
But at this moment.
The dead monster suddenly turned into a pool of blood.
A man with a cloak emerges in the bloodstream.
"Merlin, your sense of smell is still as sharp as it was for a hundred years."
Merlin's pupils constricted, and even though he couldn't see the other man's face under his cloak, Merlin would never forget him.
"Hawkes."
The name, almost squeezed out of Merlin's teeth.
Hawkes, the most evil dark wizard in a hundred years, once single-handedly overthrew the kingdom's capital, and he hunted down the leader of the hundred years of dark wizards.
"Don't be in such a hurry, Merlin." In the pool of blood, Hawkes's face slowly blurred.
"After hunting me down for so many years, I should return you with some gifts."
"Grand Wizard Merlin, feel the medium touch of the Lord's blood, hahahaha!"
Lord, blood.
Two piercing words rang out, and Merlin did not hesitate as the light spread out under his feet.
One in a thousand of the time.
He took Ludwig and the others and left the place in an instant, and in the pool of blood, Hawkes's laughter did not stop.
"Merlin, hahaha, you can't escape under the power of the Lord!"
Church.
The stench of blood covered the sky, the walls collapsed, and the idols of the gods in the church were in tatters.
Merlin stood alone on the withered earth, ruined as far as the eye could see.
"This is ......" Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar world in front of him, Merlin's heart set off a huge wave.
He can keenly perceive that he is no longer in the original world
"Merlin."
In the distance, the shadow of Hawkes slowly emerged, and he watched Merlin spread his arms, and beneath the cloak of nothingness was an endless frenzy.
"Welcome, Lord, to the dream that has been woven for you."
