"Bang!" Edward slammed the door open, leaning sideways against the door frame, his black pupils quickly looking around the door—the iron cage, the table and chairs, a tattered cross, and a lot of blood stains on it, and the thick smell of blood that was about to choke people in the cramped room was almost visible to the naked eye.

But there was no one—the cramped, cramped room was empty, and it seemed that they had already taken advantage of the chaos to escape, or had gone into hiding. It's just that judging from the candlestick that is still smoking, the other party shouldn't have been away for a long time, and maybe he should be able to catch up.

Edward, who had made up his mind, was about to turn around and leave, but he suddenly remembered the applause of "pop ......" behind him, the black-haired young man gently held the hilt of the sword behind his back with his right hand, and slowly turned around, and a middle-aged man in a black robe met his eyes.

"Really...... Breathtaking!" The smile on Wizard Aiden's face was extremely excited, his hands kept clapping, and the look of excitement in his eyes was extremely sincere: "Wonderful performance--listen and look around, this flame, this scream, this incomparably chaotic sound, this is a pleasure that many people will not get in their lifetime!"

"You know what, crawler. I had thought of a lot of possible ways you could use it - sneak attack, poison me, or walk into the village like a knight and ask me for a duel, but I just didn't expect you to use it! Oh...... It may be unfair to say that, but I have to praise you, what a genius you are!"

"You almost turned the tide around!...... Or maybe you've achieved your goal, and after the night, it seems like we have no choice but to hide like mice. Not to mention that you killed my mercenary captain, and those bastards may not continue to be obedient. Shouldn't I congratulate you - the righteous knight of the sacred tree has once again saved world peace?ah, I almost forgot, you're not a knight yet, hehehaha......haha

Edward stood motionless and crossed his arms, watching the wizard named Aiden dance and dance, his pupils flashing with reason - this is not the original world, it is difficult to say whether the wizard in front of him really has some strange magic, which is why he is reluctant to do it.

Declaring war without knowing the enemy's cards was an irrational move, and he had to wait and see if the opponent would strike first - but it seemed like it was going to take some time.

With his back against the raging sea of fire, Aiden laughed almost hysterically, and there was irrepressible excitement in his trembling voice: "But you seem to be very confident, confident enough that one person will dare to kill me, Aiden Honan - the most outstanding wizard of the great Honan family in the Dominica Kingdom, originally thought that with your IQ, you would know how to bring a few helpers!"

"No, I don't have to. Edward looked at the madman in front of him with disgust, he actually regretted it a little - this so-called wizard was completely a psychopath who was intoxicated with his own fantasies, and he had wasted so much time on a madman.

"I'm here to take your head, that's all, this kind of work is enough for one person. Gently pulling out the steel sword on his back, Edward did not let his guard down, even though he had already determined that the other party was completely delirious and insane.

"Arrogant boy, I've thought about it, I'm going to let you see how you died!" Wizard Aiden suddenly regained his original gloomy eyes, smiled indifferently and contemptuously, and snapped his fingers lightly: "Watch yourself being eaten little by little, your bones being bitten apart, and your last drop of blood being drunk!"

As soon as he lowered his head vigilantly, a trace of astonishment flashed in the young man's black pupils - from the originally flat soft mud around him, a dozen ghouls suddenly emerged, staring at Edward with scarlet eyes, and slowly surrounded him in the center.

The skinny little black-haired boy stood in place, holding the steel sword, motionless and bowing his head, as if he was about to be frightened stupidly. Aiden licked his lips, his cold eyes full of anticipation - would he be scared, would he be scared to pee his pants, how loud would he scream when he was bitten by a ghoul?

"You seem to have misunderstood something, but you don't know who the person standing in front of you is. Looking disdainfully at the group of ghouls around him, Edward raised his right eyebrow, "That's it, that's all?"

Gradually, the memories of the dead boy's past began to merge into Edward's soul - the former owner of this body, the boy how much hardship he had to pay to become a squire of the Sacred Tree Knight, the unimaginable sweat and pain of ordinary people, and how proud he was of this identity!

While Edward was slowly mastering this body, the memories of the past were also influencing him: the dreams of youth, the arduous training, the tests on the verge of life and death, all of which forged the incomparable confidence in his own strength - with the sword in hand, he would never be defeated, and the confidence to cut all enemies under his feet!

Finally, a ghoul couldn't resist the temptation of fresh flesh. With a roar, the amazing bouncing force flew directly in place, flying diagonally above Edward, opening the mouth of the blood basin that smelled of corpses!

"A brute is a brute. Muttering lightly, the black-haired boy held the sword in his backhand, and the steel sword was already full of gaps after repeated collisions, but the tip of the sword was still extremely sharp. The silver-white long sword slashed a dazzling light and shadow in front of him, and the blade easily disemboweled the ghoul in mid-air, piercing it without hindering it at all, and stuck it in the dirt in front of his feet.

The half-dead ghoul was stuck upside down with his sword, blood dripping like a merciless sarcasm mocking. Wizard Aiden, who could still maintain his composure, only felt a burning pain on his face, and his face was distorted extremely hideous, as if the flames behind him were even more fierce than just now.

The surrounding ghouls roared loudly as if they felt the anger in their master's heart, and pounced on where Edward was standing.

As if expected, the black-haired boy drew his long sword at the same time, and slashed with all his might, leaving a bright red trail in the air with the murder weapon full of blood, and then Edward did not stop for long, and quickly withdrew from the place.

Half-kneeling on the dirt floor, Edward looked at the battered steel sword in his hand—it wasn't his first trophy for a long time, but it seemed like it wasn't far off.

These monsters, called ghouls, are truly unusual - their teeth and claws are almost as hard as boulders, and they are small but also quite fast, and even in one-on-one situations, it can be quite difficult to hunt without a rapid projectile weapon such as a crossbow, let alone against a group at once.

This is like a wolf on the prairie, a wandering lone wolf, no matter how powerful, is only a prey-like existence, but if it is a pack of dozens or hundreds of wolves, it is an absolute nightmare for all herdsmen!

While wielding the steel sword in his hand to fend off the ghouls who kept coming up, Edward was also thinking calmly. The oncoming ghoul was blocked by the blade of the sword, and Edward did not hesitate to plunge into the puddle to the right and flip sideways, dodging another monster that pounced on him from behind.

It's too dangerous - crouching down in a melee is almost a death-defying option, there is no dodge or defense when you're ready to get up, and the enemy has a hundred ways to make you never get up again.

In Aiden's eyes, this arrogant little squire is just a reservoir dog, trapped and fighting. It won't be long before your cuties will be able to tear him to shreds - cut off the skin, bite the bones to pieces, and drink the blood dry!

The long sword in his hand was finally overwhelmed and broke into two, and Edward, covered in mud, raised his right foot and stepped the ghoul who took advantage of the opportunity to sneak up into the puddle, and pulled out the short knife from his waist with his left hand and plunged it into the head of the monster that was still struggling. The broken steel sword also fell into the puddle.

The black-haired boy gasped for breath, and although he had no weapon in his hand, the ghouls around him still didn't pounce immediately - it was obvious that the sight of his companion's head being smashed just now made them a little jealous.

But in terms of numbers, it is still a brutal absolute disadvantage. Unarmed Edward, it seemed only a matter of time before he turned into a dinner for the ghouls, at least in Aiden's eyes, and he even showed a hint of boredom, he was tired of what would happen next, and he could imagine it with his eyes closed.

"Is that all?"

"Huh?!" the wizard's expression froze, and the black-haired teenager surrounded by a dozen ghouls seemed to ...... Laughing?

"I've been disappointed! I've waited so long, I thought there would be something else, at least more ghouls, but now it seems ...... That's all you're at. The young man's muddy black hair ticked, and his cheeks were blocked under a sarcastic smile: "Are you also a wizard, at least rub me a fireball, okay?"

Although I didn't know what the other party meant by "rubbing fireballs", there was one thing that the wizard understood: "You actually look down on me?!"

This reptile, ant, clown-like inferior creature, a northern barbarian, dares to look down on me and despise me?!

"Kill him, kill him! I saw this reptile die!"

"I'm starting to get tired of this night, so let's get it over quickly. The bored Edward lazily bent down, picked up the steel sword in the hand of the mercenary leader he had killed before, and gently danced a sword flower, and looked at the out-of-control Wizard Aiden mockingly with black eyes:

"Don't worry, I'll see you die. ”
