Chapter 3: Sword Dance
"......"
Faced with this situation, Xavier couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart, like Pang Juan in front of a big tree, and wanted to scream to the sky, "Is the sky going to kill me here?"
He knew very well that his strength was definitely not enough for him to deal with so many water ghosts, one or two was okay, but this time it became more than a dozen!
There are not many emotions to be afraid, the fundamental thing is powerlessness, and the feeling of struggle to live, even if the end is doomed, he has to fight as much as possible!
Maybe after he dies, he can return to the original world? He couldn't help but comfort himself in his heart.
"Mr. Hyde, you ...... first"
He originally wanted to let his palace be the queen and buy time for Barry Hyde and the others to escape and complete the so-called heroic deeds, but he didn't expect that the old man also pulled out the steel sword, as if he wanted to protect the few people behind him with him.
"Xavier, it's time for you to see my swordsmanship! When I was younger, I was known as 'Undefeated Barry'!" the old man laughed as he looked at him.
In normal times, his wife Cassette would definitely expose his boastful cowhide, but at this moment, she looked at her long-time husband with a smile on her face and gentle eyes.
However, the laundry girls were not so calm, after all, they were still young, how could they face death so calmly? Even Lysha, who had a strong body, was crying like a three-year-old child at this moment.
In the midst of this air of despair, Xavier and Barry stepped out of their footsteps, ready for what could be the final battle of their lives.
At this moment, Barry saw the young man next to him stunned for a moment, as if he remembered something, and was about to ask, but saw Xavier's gaze, which gradually changed from distraction to confidence.
"Mr. Hyde, I think I have a solution. ”
Infected by Xavier's smile, Barry felt a little more confident in his heart.
It was a glimmer of hope!
In the midst of his thoughts, he saw the water ghosts in front of him and launched their attacks. Barry slashed the steel sword forward in his hand, sending a stream of light through the air, forcing several water spirits to retreat.
Next to him, Xavier deliberately distanced himself from Barry in order to attract all the water ghosts.
The ghouls also seem to realize that Motu is the real danger, and only send one water ghost to deal with Barry, and the rest all come to fight this respectable opponent.
They knew that by defeating the young man, they would be able to feast on the human heart!
This desire for food even outweighed the fear of death, and the water ghosts rushed towards Xavier with a steel sword with fanatical eyes.
If it had been before, he would have been afraid, but at this time, like an experienced master, he first leaned over to the left to dodge, and then swirled with his backhand one after another, and came with an instantaneous slash.
Serpentine Slash!
The slash was over, but the follow-up sword moves did not stop, and the steel sword swirled next to Xavier, with a unique pace, at this moment, like a spinning top, a tornado swept the earth!
This is a move that Xavier suddenly recalled from the memory of the original owner--Sword Dance!
The sword dancer, despite its name, is extremely lethal, and with appropriate techniques, it has the effect of 1+1 greater than 2.
Under such an attack, the water ghosts, who were originally outnumbered, were affected by this wave of spinning attacks, and their heads fell frantically downwards as they did in 1789.
Green blood, sprinkled on Xavier's dancing body, mixed with his own sweat, formed a strange smell.
The beating of the heart, which can even be heard directly in the ears, drowns out the surrounding sounds.
At this moment, Xavier has successfully integrated himself into the battle, and in his eyes, there is only the head of a water ghost!
While he was fighting as hard as he could, the girls next to him, thinking that death was imminent, had already closed their eyes, as if this would avoid the disaster.
But when they came back to their senses and found that they were still intact, there was a bloodstained young man in front of them who was fighting for everyone, and their eyes gradually changed.
He is the hero, the hero who blocks everything for everyone!
If Xavier had checked the system at this moment, he would have found that everyone's favorability towards him was all rising at this moment.
Not only did they include the Washergirls, but they also included Lysha, Barry, and Cassity.
But when all the dust settled and the water ghosts perished, the heroes in their eyes suddenly began to fall without warning.
"Xavier!"
Several people hurriedly panicked and lifted Xavier up in a hurry, thinking that something was wrong with him.
Only he knows because he has run out of stamina......
Fortunately, before he could turn over, the sound of the system still sounded in his ears--
"Mission accomplished!"
~~~~~~
As the dream shattered, Xavier opened his eyes and found himself waking up in a cloth bed.
What he saw was a typical Western-style house, but he obviously didn't need to recognize it, because this was where he had lived for more than a month.
Just as he straightened up and was about to leave the place directly, a fat girl suddenly appeared and stopped him.
"You may still have injuries on your body, please don't leave without permission!"
Then, the two-hundred-pound girl whose favorability had become ninety-five smiled at Xavier, brought a cup of hot water, and said with concern, "I think you must be thirsty, please drink more hot water!"
"Thank you. For a moment, Xavier was a little speechless, but he remained polite, and his dry throat made him drink the cup of hot water.
Putting down the empty water glass, he didn't waste time, and through a simple exchange with Lysha, he quickly learned what had just happened.
After he fell unconscious, there were still many water ghosts left nearby, but with the arrival of the local garrison, in front of the well-equipped soldiers, the water ghosts were naturally defeated.
Due to his success in attracting a large number of water ghosts to him, not a single villager was injured during the monster invasion, which made Xavier quite glad that the disaster he caused did not lead to much harm.
Of course, in the eyes of the villagers, they don't know so much, they only hear that Xavier saved the entire village, and he did not hesitate to sacrifice himself for everyone's safety, calling him the 'hero of Reston Village'.
They were also afraid that Xavier would fall unconscious, and they discussed finding the best pharmacist in the city to treat him well.
Only Xavier knew that he was no longer in a big deal at the moment, but everyone obviously didn't think so, so he had to continue to lie in bed, and by the way, check what changes had occurred in his system.
