Chapter 203: Entering the City (The Internet Is Finally Repaired)
Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, the lewd guy's face changed slightly.
"Yes, but ........."
"I said, open the door."
"Okay, okay."
Perhaps sensing the sense of terror and deterrence coming from Duanmu Huai's body, the man swallowed his saliva and nodded.
"I respect your choice, if you want to enter through the main entrance, I will shout to open the door. But if you think about it again, is that good? I advise you to ............... again."
However, before the doorman could finish his words, Duanmu Huai reached out and grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up.
"I said......... Open the door!"
"Okay, okay, I got it......... If people are bent on death, no one can hold it.........
At this, the doorman took a deep breath and shouted.
"Open the door! Open the door!!"
"Boom Rumble ........."
As the doorman's voice fell, there was a roar outside, Duanmu Huai glared at the doorman coldly, then casually threw him aside, turned around and strode out. At this time, the city gate, which was originally closed by the iron fence, had been completely opened, and looking into the city, Duanmu Huai soon saw the crossbow arrow battery on the high platform in front of him, and the soldiers standing behind the fort.
"Humph!"
This time, Duanmu Huai didn't ignore them like before, he snorted coldly, grabbed the hammer and strode into the castle gate, galloping straight forward!
"Bang bang bang!!"
Soon, a series of crossbow arrows flew and hit Duanmu Huai's power armor, also without causing any damage to Duanmu Huai. He leapt to his feet, holding a thunderous warhammer in his hand, and smashed it down hard!
"Boom !!"
For a moment, lightning and thunder roared, and roaring lightning burst out in all directions, burning all the soldiers who controlled the ballistas to ashes.
At this moment, the soldiers behind the barrier in front also raised their weapons and launched an attack on Duanmu Huai. One after another, the bolts were fired from their hands, but they did no damage to the locust. Instead, he rushed forward directly to the other party's shots, and then the war hammer in his hand swung violently, instantly smashing all the fences and barriers in front of him into pieces, and the soldiers who were hiding behind the barrier flew out screaming under the impact of the violent air current, and there was no movement.
"Roaring —————!!"
However, all this is not over, at the same time, I saw that from the woods to the left of Duanmu Huai, accompanied by the roar of the beast, a huge, lion-like monster pounced from behind Duanmu Huai's side, its right front paw was tied to a sharp blade, and it rushed towards Duanmu Huai like a storm, and then opened its bloody mouth full of sharp teeth, and bit down on Duanmu Huai.
"Look for death!!"
However, at the same time, Duanmu Huai also turned around, he let out a loud shout, and the Thunder Warhammer in his hand stretched forward and stuffed it directly into the monster's mouth, and then Duanmu Huai grabbed the long handle of the Thunder Warhammer, lifted it high, and then smashed it to the ground!
"Boom!!"
The lion whose mouth was stuck also fell to the ground with this blow, and then Duanmu Huai strode forward and stepped on the lion's head, with a soft "snap" sound, the lion's head was suddenly trampled into pieces by Duanmu Huai, and its corpse also trembled suddenly, and then turned into ashes like other corpses and disappeared into the air.
"Papapapa........."
At this time, a series of applause rang out from behind Duanmu Huai.
"It's amazing, I've seen countless warriors, but this is the first time I've seen someone like you."
Hearing this voice, Duanmu Huai turned his head and saw a suspicious man with a long wide-brimmed hat that almost covered his face, standing behind him.
"Who are you?"
"Ah, hello, this brave and mighty warrior."
The man smiled and walked to the end of the acacia
A salute.
"I'm Roger, I'm a magician, and I'm here to find something......... Then again, why did you end up in Stonewell? You must know that the people of this city are hunting the Faders as a sacrifice for "limbs". Normally, no one would approach it.........
"Do you know how to get into that tower?"
Duanmu Huai glanced at the magician named Roger, and then pointed to the tall tower next to him——— which was where they had landed before, and it was here that the group was scattered because of some kind of "prohibition".
Therefore, Duanmu Huai also wants to know how to enter that tower is the right choice.
"The Tower...............
Following Duanmu Huai's hand, Roger looked at the tower, and then showed a look of sudden realization.
"So you came to challenge Greck to get Big Rune......... So you can see the guidance of blessing?"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Duanmu Huai shook his head.
"Anyway, what should I do if I want to go up that tower?"
"You must defeat and kill Lord Greck and gain his Great Rune before you can gain its power in the Divine Tower......... It's just that the faded ones, who have not been blessed for a long time, have appeared."
"To be honest, this is my first time in this land......... Hmmm........."
Duanmu Huai thought for a moment, then looked at Roger.
"Are you familiar with this place?"
"It's familiar, I've been here before, after all."
"So, I want to make a deal with you."
"Oh?"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's proposal, Roger raised his head curiously and stared at him.
"What deal?"
"I'm looking for something in this city, too, but I'm not familiar with it."
Duanmu Huai looked at Roger and spoke.
"And as you can see, the city is very dangerous right now, so I can help you, and you just need to answer a few of my questions."
"Uh-huh.....................
Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Roger thought for a moment, then nodded.
"Indeed, from the battle just now, it can be seen that you are a strong warrior, and if you have your protection, then it will be more convenient for me......... But what do you want to know?"
"First of all, what exactly is a limb?"
Duanmu Huai looked at Roger and asked the question that had puzzled him all along, although he had heard what the little red riding hood outside the city should do, but he still didn't understand, what was the use of doing this.
Could it be that there are any cyborg maniacs in the city?
"It all starts with the owner of this castle, Golden" Greck."
Speaking of the name, Roger also sighed rarely.
"I think you should also know that this land was once ruled by the Golden Law, but after that nightmarish night of conspiracy, the Golden Law was shattered, and the Broken War broke out, and all the demigod heirs held the fragments of the Law in an attempt to restore the Golden Law and reforge the glory of the Golden Clan. Greck is one of them......... It's just that his own strength is too weak, and after the initial defeat, he escaped from the royal city among the women, and after that, he hid in the city of Stonewell and did not dare to go out, and he was defeated in the battle with the Valkyrie, and even knelt down in front of her, begging for mercy."
"Oh............... It looks really weak."
Although Duanmu Huai still doesn't know what happened to these things, just based on his escape among women, his turtle-like behavior with a shrunken head, and his kneeling and begging for mercy after being defeated by the Valkyrie, Duanmu Huai classified him into the range of "weak chickens".
"Of course, Greck didn't stop there, he tried everything he could to increase his strength, and the way he came up with it was......... Engraving, that is, taking him
A man's arm is attached to his body."
「………………… Hah, ???."
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai looked confused.
"Why?"
Is the way to build strength is to attach someone else's arm to yourself? Do you think this is the thousand-handed Guanyin? After receiving a thousand arms, you become a Buddha, right?
"That's something only Greck himself knows."
Roger shook his head.
"Anyway, after that, Greck sent a team to hunt down the Faded, bring them here, cut off their arms for grafting, and not only that, but he would also stitch together the remaining bodies of the Faders to create a monster called the Eldermanship.........
「…………………」
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai frowned, and he recalled the words of Little Red Riding Hood again.
"The people who came with me to the Junction and fought for me had their heads, feet, and hands cut off and become part of the spiders.........
Now it looked like he had guessed what was going on.
"Any questions?"
"Of course."
Hearing Roger's inquiry, Duanmu Huai nodded.
"You said that Greek was going to take all the limbs of the people he captured and sew the rest up into monsters, right......... Where is that place?"
「…………………」
Facing Duanmu Huai's inquiry, Roger was silent for a moment, and stretched out his hand to point to the small door behind Duanmu Huai.
"Go through that little door and you'll be in the Hall of the Limbs......... But I warn you beforehand, that place ......... It's more terrifying than you think."
"I don't think so."
Duanmu Huai nodded at Roger, joking, how can I say that I have also seen the world, this kind of little trick wants to scare me? Impossible.
"Thank you for your advice, then I'll go back as soon as I go."
After saying this, Duanmu Huai turned around and strode towards the small door. Roger, on the other hand, looked at Duanmu Huai's back and shook his head, then he sat down and closed his eyes in meditation.
Following Roger's instructions, Duanmu Huai walked through the small door, and then continued on his way, and then he came to a large hall.
It looked like a large dining room, and judging by the tables set around it, it was once supposed to be a place for the knights of the city.
Once.
The reason why I say this is because now this hall has completely changed into a different appearance.
Countless severed hands and feet hung high on the scales on either side of the hall, and on the floor you could see mountains of corpses, wrapped in cloth, like chrysalis. They were piled up in layers, walking in shadow under the dim light of the fire.
"You know what? After being attached to a spider, a person will look like a chrysalis, right? It's amazing, isn't it?"
I see.
Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai's eyes narrowed, he almost understood what the little red riding hood lady saw.
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai raised his head and looked at the center of the restaurant.
In the dim light, a huge mass of flesh was wriggling, and if you looked closely, it was a rather strange thing.
Its back is covered with a black cloak, and it is surrounded by dozens of slender hands and feet holding sharp blades and shields, which at first glance looks like a huge crab with several pairs of legs, and the belly of this "crab" is densely covered with a human head.
I see, is this what Roger said, the monster called the Elbow Aristocrat, which was stitched together from the remnants of the victim's body?
Then again, what kind of aristocracy does this thing look like?
「———————!!!」
At this moment, the monster had discovered the existence of Duanmu Huai, and it roared and crawled towards Duanmu Huai at a speed as fast as a spider
, and Duanmu Huai just stood in place, without dodging, watching the monster rush over, he raised his hands to grasp the war hammer, raised it high, and then fell heavily.
"Bang!"
The limb nobleman who had just run in front of Duanmu Huai was directly smashed to the ground under this blow, and then Duanmu Huai raised the war hammer again and swung it down again.
"Bang!!"
The Elbow Nobleman began to fight back frantically, wielding a long arm that was several times longer than an ordinary person, looking like two or three arms connected together, holding the blade of the sword and slashing horizontally and vertically on the armor of Duanmu Huai, but unfortunately, its struggle was as weak as a mouse facing a dinosaur.
"Bang !!"
With the roar of the third Thunder Hammer, the tremendous force of the impact completely penetrated the body of the Elder-Member, and it also convulsed, and then collapsed to the ground, turning into a miserable corpse.
"Rest."
Duanmu Huai withdrew the Thunder War Hammer, looked at the corpse of the limb-grubbing nobleman in front of him and spoke, and then he raised his head again and looked at the hall in front of him with a sad face.
"But then again......... How do you find this?"
Judging from the current situation, those friends of Little Red Riding Hood are afraid that they have long died and have no place to be buried, how can they do this themselves?
Why don't you just pick up two stones and go back?
"Woo—————!!
At this time, suddenly, the purple soul jellyfish quietly appeared beside Duanmu Huai, it stretched out its tentacles, patted Duanmu Huai's shoulder, and then swam forward.
"You mean to go with you?"
Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai's eyes suddenly lit up, he still remembered that Little Red Riding Hood said that this soul jellyfish had been with her for a long time, and he didn't know, but this soul jellyfish ......... Maybe you know!
"Whew!"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's inquiry, the soul jellyfish nodded, and then floated forward again, and Duanmu Huai also followed behind it without hesitation, and walked into the depths of the limb hall.
