[Attack: 250 ]

For a moment, Xavier, who saw this number, thought that he was dazzled, but considering that the system was directly presented in his mind, it didn't seem to affect him to distinguish the numbers, so it was obvious that his attack power had indeed changed from one to two hundred and five.

Just as he was in doubt, two prompt sounds came from the system again, causing Xavier's mind to calm down instantly.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the item, a steel sword!]

[Current Host Sword Skill Level: Trainee Swordsman (0/100)]

It seems that the increase in attack power is purely due to the fact that he has obtained Barry's steel sword, and has nothing to do with his own strength.

As for the rank of apprentice swordsman, Xavier is not surprised, as an otaku who didn't go out when he got home from work in his previous life, he hadn't done sports a few times at all, let alone practiced swordsmanship.

With this kind of strength to face the monster, it seems that there is nothing to do except the speed of light, and he even regrets it a little at the moment, why should he take on such a task?

Sure enough, the system is not so kind!

In any case, this is the result of his own making, and there is no chance of regret in this world, Xavier can only follow the footsteps of the old man Barry with a worried thought, and go to the river to try to rescue his wife Caisit.

Along the way, many villagers fled, and Barry tried to stop one of them and ask him about his wife's whereabouts.

But in times of panic, how many people will pay attention to the whereabouts of others? After all, everyone is unable to protect themselves. So Barry even asked a few people, and the answer he got was "I don't know", and he didn't even pay attention to it at all, and ran backwards on his own.

However, the emperor paid off, and the old man finally asked the whereabouts of Kaisiti in the mouth of a young man in the village.

"I saw her and a few girls in the village go to the west side of the river to wash clothes, and then I don't know!"

After saying that, he quickly pulled up his legs and fled in the opposite direction of Xavier's travel, not even wanting to say a word.

It was clear that he was afraid of something, but Xavier didn't need to guess, because a monster had appeared in front of his face shortly after he left.

That's the water ghost.

The water ghost is slightly smaller, about 1.5 meters equivalent to a human, with a blue body and skin like that of a drowned person, with the characteristics of a fish, but it walks on two legs.

In his previous life, Xavier had often seen them in movies and games, but he didn't expect that the first battle he had crossed over would be greeted by it.

I don't have sword oil or silver swords...... He couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Xavier could feel the old man next to him shivering, frightened by the water ghost's sharp teeth and sharp dorsal fin, and spread fear through the sound waves.

However, he did not back down because of this, perhaps it was the love of his wife that became his courage, and he made a standard parrying move with the steel sword in his hand.

However, the water ghost didn't seem to be interested in him, and the ghost screamed and pounced on Xavier without fear, and his intuition told him that he was the real threat!

"Be careful!"

In Barry's eyes, the water ghost swung his claws at Xavier at great speed, but Xavier did not have much fear, and gently stepped back, and successfully dodged the water ghost's attack.

Round 1 is over, that's naturally Round 2, one person and one monster turned this battle into a turn-based one, Xavier clenched the steel sword Barry handed him, as if he had muscle memory, his upper body shook slightly, and the blade made a beautiful arc, and the head of the water ghost fell in response.

It was clear that this was not Xavier's swordsmanship.

In the battle just now, it was as if a soul was manipulating him, making him perform some movements that he had been practicing for a long time.

"Could it be that this is the battle memory that I have crossed over and inherited?"

Xavier didn't know exactly what was going on, he only knew that the original owner's various battle memories were in the form of fragments in his mind, and he couldn't play them out at all unless he was in the middle of the battle.

This experience is mysterious, ethereal, but like instinct, and even suppresses the fear he should have.

So is this a good thing or a bad thing? Xavier didn't know, but he saw the light of day for the mission's success.

As long as he is allowed to activate this power again, it will definitely be no problem to deal with a few water ghosts!

As for Barry next to him, before he could react, he had already seen Xavier cleanly deal with the terrifying monster, and he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Who would have thought that a random person who could have such excellent swordsmanship would simply be a plot that can only appear in a drama or a script!

"Oh my God, are you a knight, Xavier?"

"I'm just an ordinary person with a lot of interest. Xavier shook his head lightly in the face of the old man's exaggerated praise, and then continued, "Let's not talk about that for now, the top priority now is to rescue Grandma Cassetti. ”

He didn't get too caught up in what he had just felt, after all, he knew very well at this time that someone might be in danger of his life right now.

Then he saw the old man Barry nod lightly and ran with him again.

The destination was clear, it was the west side of the river, which the villager had just told them, but it was obviously not easy to find a few people in such a large place, and Xavier couldn't summon Icarus by V.

Fortunately, he has a smart teammate, as the so-called ginger gets older and hotter, the old man Barry found the footprints of Cassetti and others through his presbyopia.

"See the texture? Only Caisity would wear shoes like that!"

Following the pile of footprints, the two came to the door of a small house. Xavier kicked it away, and what he saw was the washergirls and the old man's wife, Cassity.

It turned out that after they saw the invasion of the water ghosts, they hid here and did not dare to make a sound, waiting for follow-up reinforcements, but fortunately, the stupid water ghosts did not find their traces.

I don't know if it's fate, there is a character Xavier doesn't want to see among several laundry girls, she is the sturdy girl Lysha, who was initially full of affection for Xavier because of the system.

When she saw Xavier, she seemed very excited, and ran over to give her dear brother a loving hug, so Xavier had to dodge and avoid him.

Xavier smiled awkwardly at the look of resentment, choosing to ignore it directly, and then asked everyone to follow in his footsteps and leave the place as soon as possible.

The reason why he did not stay here and wait for rescue was because Xavier was afraid that the blood stains on his knife would attract the water ghosts, but he himself was not afraid, but he was afraid that several female dependents would be harmed by it.

So he thinks the best thing to do right now is to get out of here as soon as possible and escape before the water ghosts find them!, but is this really that simple?

Xavier didn't know, but anyway, he didn't think it was a good thing to sit and sit here.

What's more, the success at the beginning undoubtedly added a lot to his self-confidence, as long as the number of enemies is not too large, I believe that with his inherited swordsmanship, he is definitely at ease.

However, everything in the world is always affected by Murphy's Law, and Xavier's unwanted appearance finally appeared, and before everyone had taken a few steps, they saw more than a dozen water ghosts, blocking their retreat route.
