Chapter 77: The Place of Bones (I)
The staircase in a circular shape looks very eerie and eerie, and there are abandoned rooms on both sides of the stairway, which look nothing like the wine cellar in James's mouth, who would place the wine cellar in such a gloomy place?
This is even more proof that there is something wrong with this castle lord. Fortunately, I stayed in the town for a while before and had a certain understanding of this matter, otherwise, if I broke in recklessly, it was very likely that I would directly become food for vampires. Rhodes began to suspect that the blood slaves had recently been converted. Maybe it's the vampire's reward for loyal humans......
By the light of the fire, everyone went all the way down, and even the soldiers of the Secret Word Fort looked nervous and engrossed. It is estimated that many people have never been to this place.
It's also normal that there are always some unknown corners of every castle. Or the shady torture chambers, or the treasury of gold, and the evil taste of some castle lords, who drag beautiful maids to the basement to ravage them to satisfy their perverted tastes. The aristocratic lords who are personable on weekdays have a variety of private lives.
Finally, after walking down about five floors to a depth of about five floors, the front became open. Two long corridors stretched to the end of the line of sight, where it was pitch black. However, some terrifying low roars were clear to the ears. Like a beast, but not a beast, coupled with the darkness of the environment, even the castle guards shuddered.
Rhodes turned his head to look at James, and it was clear that his cellar theory was no longer tenable. However, the stubborn lord of the castle is still unwilling to compromise. He looked at Rod coldly, his eyes full of anger. Rod noticed that there was a person standing behind James, who was his butler, and as for his name, it was not clear, and Rod did not ask. Only now it seemed that the butler was no longer good, and his feet trembled terribly. A pair of eyes looked around in horror, as if a giant beast with fangs was hiding in the depths of the darkness that could not be seen, staring at them.
"Friend, are you alright?"
Rod walked over and asked deliberately.
I saw the old butler look frightened, "Let's go out." We shouldn't be here......" he muttered to himself. This unusual behavior also attracted the attention of the witch hunters, and Diego stared at him with the eyes of an inquisitor.
The terrible roar was heard again in the darkness, and at last, the old man could not take it anymore, and he fell to his knees, "I am your faithful servant......" He fell to his knees, muttering to himself, and uttering a humble cry of suplication.
"Who? Whose servant are you?"
Rod asked. His tomahawk was already in his hand, and the old butler's reaction was too unusual not to be vigilant.
"Please, let me go up!"
He pleaded.
"Why?"
Rhodes asked rhetorically. Diego gathered around, and he felt the power emanating from this dungeon. Some monsters are coming here. The guards were next to each other, in a circle. Frightened, looking into the depths of darkness beyond the reach of his eyes.
"I told you, I told you all, you let me go up! I won't stay here anymore, please......"
The old butler grabbed Rod's trouser legs, looked around, and said in a trembling voice.
"I promise you, tell me, tell everyone here the truth!"
Rod said in a commanding tone.
"Here ......"
The old butler was about to speak, but his throat seemed to be grasped by an invisible hand, and he clutched his throat, breathless, and his face became more and more ugly, like a fish thrown on the shore, desperately trying to breathe, but unable to breathe in any breath of life. Yes, life is draining, and a pair of invisible hands are extracting his soul and killing him directly in place!
Immediately after, more soldiers began to scream, black blood flowing from their mouths and noses, and they dropped their weapons and fell to their knees in pain. At the same time, in the depths of the pitch-black cell, the beastly roar grew more and more intensive.
The rest of the guards, led by witch hunters and old shamans, were ready to fight on their backs.
"Tallinnam, quick, go up, call more people down!"
Feeling that the darkness was so powerful, Rhodes hurriedly asked his attendants to crawl out of the cellar. The scene in front of him reminded him of what he had encountered in the nezumi crypt half a month ago, and now, darkness that was several times stronger than it was before was coming......
"For Sigmar!"
Diego, the witch hunter, roared, and the revolver in his hand fired the first round.
The silver-plated warhead reflected white light in the firelight, shooting at a monster in the darkness. However, the sound of the neutron bullet piercing through the flesh was not heard. Rather, there was only the sound of bullets whizzing through the air.
"Damn it!"
Diego cursed under his breath, and then he pulled out the battle potion he had brought with him, the Swiftness Elixir, and drank a full bottle of the potion. Because he knows that the monsters that are about to appear are no longer something that humans can deal with.
They are few in number, but enough to tear apart an entire human army.
Not long after the witch hunter fired its first bullet, a thunderous roar was heard in the air, and a monster far taller than a human ran and jumped towards the frightened crowd. A dark shadow swept through the crowd, a gust of wind blew from the huge membranous wings, and two of the Crypt guards were thrown to the ground, their bodies pinned to the ground like cheese. And it was not an ordinary ghoul who crucified them, but a huge bloodthirsty celestial ghost!
He had a pair of disgusting membranous wings topped with sharp bone spurs, like the ghoul king that Rhodes had seen in the nezumi lair that day. However, unlike the Ghoul King, the monster in front of him had no human arms or face, his mempranous wings and teeth were his weapons, and a scorpion-tail-like barb protruded from the back of his back, already carrying the scarlet blood of the dead guard.
As soon as the Bloodthirsty Celestial Ghost appeared, it caused panic in the crowd, and he let out a scream of the devil class. Several nearby castle guards immediately covered their ears and fell to the ground in pain, their eardrums could not withstand such a high decibel scream, and blood was pouring out of the piercings.
The giant beast was followed by a dozen bloodthirsty blood slaves. A pair of blood-red eyes looked so terrifying in the darkness.
The remaining fighters immediately rushed forward. The Krem Guards, the Powel Knights, and the most elite warriors of the entire kingdom are here. Even such a terrifying opponent did not let their legs weaken.
In front of Rhode, the Krem guard picked up a huge axe and split the blood slaves that pounced on him in half with one axe! You know, although these low-level vampires are not as powerful as the vampire masters, they are also one of the vampires, and their speed and strength are far above ordinary humans, but they were killed in seconds when facing the powerful Krem guards! Looking at the entire Kislev, the number of Krem guards will not exceed three hundred! This is the existence of the outrageously powerful Praetorian Guard.
Rod guessed that even if he had fought him, it would take several rounds to take him down.
However, although the blood slave was not a problem, the bloodthirsty heavenly ghost was enough to kill the whole audience in an instant. James, who had no combat power, didn't know when he had retreated to the back, clinging to the wall, his body trembling.
Behind Rhodes, a Powel warrior who came to support suddenly fell to the ground under the attack of the bloodthirsty heavenly ghost, and was in a hurry to get up, but the huge heavenly ghost beast pressed his back, and two scythe-like bone spurs staggered by, and in an instant, blood and light flowed everywhere, and the noble knight of Kislev was cut off by the huge heavenly ghost beast with a move, and the living head rolled forward, and blood spilled all over the ground.
Another Powel warrior, trying to avenge his comrades, picked up his axe and slashed at the terrifying beast. However, in battle, bravery is bravery, and the gap in strength cannot be bridged by courage.
The moment the Powel warrior picked up his axe, his body was impaled by the Bloodthirsty Celestial's bone spikes, and the Bloodthirsty Celestial Ghost nailed it to the icy ground like a doll. Another wing fluttered, and sharp bone spurs pierced into the Powel knight's chest, sending a large amount of blood pouring out of the warrior's mouth.
However, this was not enough, the bloodthirsty monster showed a hideous wild laugh, like a meat patty, two bone spurs slashed outward, and in an instant, the body of the Poulair knight was torn apart, revealing scarlet internal organs, and a large amount of blood overflowed outward like a flood that burst the embankment.
