Chapter 9: The Lucky Ghost Slayer

The ice sword slashed at the human, but instead of the expected smooth feeling of cutting through the flesh, it shattered into pieces in the sky with a crisp explosion sound of "ping-". At the same time, there was a warm heat from under the strange ghost's chest, and a warm little thing broke through the protection of the ice armor and entered from the lower abdomen, stubbornly squeezing into its useless internal organs, and in the next second it became hot, as if burning the soul!

What's going on?

As a weapon that relies on magic to sustain its existence, how can it be said that it will be shattered, and even if it collides with the best steel sword in the world, it should not have the slightest crack or gap. As for the thing that pierced his body, as a person born in the land of eternal winter with surging magical power, even if he was poured by boiling lava, he shouldn't feel half a bit of pain, unless......

As the magic that maintained its existence was disturbed and dissolved, the stranger could no longer think about it, it threw away the ice sword that only had one grip left and covered its lower abdomen in vain, as if trying to cover the mana that was constantly draining inside, the light blue blood spurted out from the wound, hissing around the dagger, it stretched out two skeletal pale hands to pull out the dagger, but as soon as the finger touched the obsidian, it began to smoke and dissolve, and finally, it let out an unwilling scream that could not be done about the foreign object that pierced its body, and fell to its knees weakly, no longer making any movement。

......

Egger sat slumped in the snow, stunned as the kneeling stranger's body shrank rapidly. The first to shatter and fall off was a layer of armor of unknown material covering its body, and then the pale flesh that was exposed also began to suppurate and become blurry and viscous, like a snowman bathed in the sun, melting and dripping, and after dozens of seconds, the strange ghost was left with only a milky glass-like skeleton, crystal clear like a jade carved handicraft, shining with clear light...... However, even the last evidence of the existence of this strange ghost was slowly melting, and in the end, only the dragon crystal dagger remained, and in the midst of the water vapor, it seemed to be undergoing some magical change, and the water vapor in the air condensed into layers of frost on its incomparably cold surface, and the originally dark short weapon quickly turned snow-white, blending with the snow on the ground, and it could not be found without careful observation.

It wasn't until half a minute later that Iger was surprised to find out that he wasn't dead.

He felt the spot on his shoulder where the strange had been slashed, and a small cut had been made in his fur coat, but the clothes inside had not been damaged, not to mention the expected hideous wounds or blood, and he thought for a moment, and a strong sense of happiness instantly filled his chest.

He was completely lucky to survive.

The moment he had a life-and-death confrontation with the Stranger a moment ago, he had made up his mind to die together, no matter how he looked at it, his obsidian dagger and the Stranger's Ice Crystal Sword would hit each other at the same time, and with the great force of the Stranger's sword that could pierce through the tree, his entire upper body might be cut off...... But he won, and he won, and his dagger stabbed the opponent by a fraction of a second earlier than the Stranger's ice sword, perhaps by a fraction of a second.

The end result of this slight lead was that the Stranger's ice sword turned into a mortal object and a real "ice" sword at the moment when it sliced through his coat and was about to hack him to death. So, the moment it slashed itself and was stressed, it shattered like an ordinary thin block of ice, turning into ice slag all over the ground.

If you had slowed down your hand for half a beat, you would have been bleeding to death by now, and if the strange ghost knew that he had an obsidian dagger in his hand and was on guard, he would have been cut into several pieces...... But there is no assumption about what has passed, he won, under a series of coincidences, under the carelessness of his opponent.

The fear of almost dying came belatedly, and there was a palpitating feeling of almost incontinence from his crotch, if it weren't for the previous shh

......

There, Gary let out a brief groan-like sound from the fallen Gary, and Egger shuddered in surprise, and crawled to pick up the obsidian dagger covered in a thin layer of frost, and grasped the half-cut steel sword - that should be enough for the unenchanted ghouls.

"Gary," he said tentatively, intending to ask if you were dead, but before he left his mouth, he thought it was silly to ask, so he changed his sentence, "Are you still alive?"

The fallen man groaned again, although he couldn't make out what it was, but it was obviously a short sentence with a tone and frustration, and the traverser breathed a sigh of relief and sat back on the ground again.

The threat to his life disappeared, and his ability to think returned to his body, and he remembered: in the original plot, after Jon Snow killed a stranger, all the ghouls transformed by this stranger instantly fell apart and turned into rotten bones, and now that the stranger is dead, the people it killed can no longer become ghouls.

Turning his head, another incident confirmed his suspicion: the ghoul horse ridden by the stranger had also fallen to the ground and turned back into a dead horse. Now that I think about it, I am afraid that this change happened at the same time as the loss of the magic blessing of the alien weapon, that is, the moment when the obsidian dagger stabbed the alien, but just now I was in a desperate state of high concentration and did not notice it at the first time.

With great effort, he got back to his feet, and his instincts told him that there would be no second wraiths in the vicinity, but reason told him that his instincts were the least reliable, and he decided to leave as soon as possible. Egger held the broken sword in one hand and the dagger in the other, and cautiously approached Gary.

The veteran's face was pale, his lips were purple from the cold, but there was still a look in his eyes, and he was clearly alive.

"Cold ......"

Iger looked left and right to see that his horse had already run away, but fortunately Gary had unloaded all his luggage and equipment when he was about to kill the horse, and his blankets and clothes had not been taken away. He quickly erected an improvised bunk to keep his teammates warm.

Thankfully, after examining the wound, Egg found that Gary's chest wound was not serious because of the unusually sharp weapon and the fact that he had no time to repair the knife due to his timely rescue. The wound was very small and located far from the heart, and did not cause irreversible hemorrhage. What's even more amazing is that the bleeding on the surface of the wound has actually coagulated into lumps, and the surrounding skin shows clear symptoms of frostbite......

Although the low temperature caused by the ice magic on the alien weapon makes Gary not life-threatening for the time being, it will seriously affect his healing recovery after the incident, and he must get good treatment as soon as possible.

Egger looked up at the Great Wall of Desperation, which was already faintly visible in the distance, and knew that he might not be able to escape this time.
