Chapter 120: The Battle Begins
In the sixteen years since the death of Qiu Lihong, the first woman I fell in love, I have devoted almost all my heart to cultivation, and I have never had the idea of starting a family...... The reason why I say "almost" wholeheartedly is because there are some things that bother me a little bit, such as......
"Hey~~Catch you~~" At this time, the girl who pounced on my back was the eldest daughter of the Qiuli family, Qiuli Yan.To be honest, since she spent her twelfth birthday, she would always pester me from time to time, sticking to me, until today, she has become a beautiful girl at the age of fifteen.
"I'm talking to you, I'm already an adult." The girl said excitedly. Yes, yes." I replied nonchalantly." Hey, are you married, or else you will marry me?" ...... Looking at the girl's delicate face, it is impossible for me to say in my heart that there is no self-satisfaction, but unfortunately there is already a person in my heart.
"Hey, stop smoking." The little girl snatched my cigarette pouch and ran away laughing: "Don't smoke anymore, hurry up and catch up with me, and then I'll change it to you~~" Then she ran away with a cigarette.
"Really......" I slowly followed her at the same pace as her, but it didn't take long for me to suddenly realize that the direction she was going in was the very tall tree where Miss Hong and I used to meet.
When she got to the bottom of the tree, she looked up at the tree in a daze, and it wasn't until I walked up to her with a wistful heart that she said, "Na...... You see, this tree is bigger than it was sixteen years ago, isn't it? You hugged me for the first time and only time under this tree that day......" Hearing this, my heart beat uncontrollably, and I turned my head, and I stared at her with anticipation and unknown panic.
"Now, I am in this world...... But I came to this world to see you." A smile appeared on the girl's lips that made my heart lose in an instant......
"Hmm, right...... Anyway, why am I talking to you so much now? These things...... Won't I have time to talk slowly when I turn you into my servant?" As she was speaking, Miss Qiu Liyan's body suddenly appeared a lot of black fog that was full of a very ominous aura at first glance.
"...... You're not Qiu Liyan, what are you?" After seeing the other party's battle, Eco felt it a little, and knew that the other party was not a "human race", but something else, although these ominous black fog and breath had not been seen, but with a little sense, Eco probably guessed the other party's "race" If there is no accident, it is the so-called "undead race". The aura she felt was very similar to the unknown "thing" standing opposite her at this time, but the aura of death that she could exude was not as strong as this one.
"I, I, as you can see, it's really not that little girl, and I won't be stingy with my name when it comes to servants.Listen, little girl, my name is Shakmoth, and I used to be a seventh-order top-level horror knight!" said Shakmoth proudly.The horror knight is the most powerful warrior creature of the necromantic clan, and every terrifying knight has at least a sixth-order high-level cultivation, and there are also many seventh-order and eighth-order powerful beings. It's not without its own emotions, but the nature of the race makes it impossible for them to lose their temper in battle.
Every Terror Knight has a weapon that coexists with himself; Or a long knife, or a long sword. This weapon is what they had on the day they became a terrifying knight, and it is something that will become harder and sharper as they cultivate.
So, even if this guy said that he used to be a seventh-order high-level horror knight, as long as he didn't see the other party's Death Blade, Eco was sure that he could win.
After a while, Qiu Liyan's whole body was surrounded by armor, and then the knight casually pulled out the knife from the wall, and then wrapped it with his own breath.
"What is your relationship with Qiu Liyan?" Eco asked.
"I?well,Speaking of which, I originally wanted to take away her body.,When she was eleven or twelve years old??At that time, she somehow came to my soul and was sealed in the cave.Oh, by the way,I once came to this world.,But it was discovered by humans.,And then the three seventh-order ** masters worked together to subdue me and sealed me.Because they couldn't completely destroy me.So they had to seal me up and let time slowly wear away my soul power.And they succeeded, If it weren't for this little girl accidentally breaking the seal, then I would probably be really lost in a few years."
"I also feel very strange to say, it was supposed to go through a lot of hardships, and I was about to destroy my soul that I don't know why, but I don't know why, this girl's soul power is suddenly full again, and then it's very hard...... In the end, we had no choice but to make a peace agreement."
"But although it was said to be a peace agreement, I actually knew at that time that the soul power could not be repaired and enhanced, and I could only be slowly consumed, and in the end I could only be devoured. So, I tried to get in touch with this power, and then I got a piece of information about it. And then finally I made a deal with this little girl, that is, I would help her remove the curse, but she had to open her mind and accept my power. So, in normal times, she lived as herself, and I watched her life inside her. And when I needed my power, let me act for her. As for this time, I didn't want to see her look lost and sad, so I secretly replaced her after she fell asleep in the afternoon, so you feel like we're not alone, right?"
"But speaking of which, maybe it's because of my influence, her temperament has become a little strange and she has become more autistic...... "This horror knight seems to have not spoken for too long, so she seems to be a leprosy.
Moreover, the reason why I listened to him honestly for so long was also to launch a spell that would allow the two of them to teleport to a no-man's land in the suburbs together.
"Wheel of space, spin." Eco softly recited the incantation, and then a faint blue light entangled the two of them, and in a flash of light, Eco led the stunned knight to a no-man's land, and said to the knight, "You...... It's too long-winded." Then he attacked first.
"Holy Judgment: Radiance." This is a companion of the "Era" mercenary group, Albert's signature spell, which was secretly learned by Eco. This spell is to send a swift light attribute light pillar to the opponent, Eco's move is used to test the other party.
"Oh! The knight entered the battle state very quickly, and when he saw that he couldn't dodge, he directly slashed the pillar of light with a knife.Then he launched a breakthrough on Eco, after all, Eco used space-time spells and light spells before, which made it easy for the knight to think that she was a mage.
I have to praise that the knight's advance speed is not much different from Eco's own movement speed.
The knight cut off the light shield with a knife, but at this time Eco had already teleported away from the place, and without looking back, he threw another "Holy Judgment Shine" This skill If Albert himself uses it, then it will probably have to chant for a while, but if it is Eco, there is no pressure in an instant.
However, in this way, Eco naturally widened the distance between him and the Terror Knight, and then retreated while maintaining a certain speed, while silently accumulating his strength, preparing for the next spell.
In the first round, the confrontation is over.
