"It's... You!"

Watching the strong man named Gru say this to the necromancer, Raymond, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, could it be that these two people had known each other for a long time?

Seemingly pleased with Gru's reaction, the necromancer nodded, "You still remember me." It's been 20 years, and I'm curious why you're on the Veronica continent too. ”

But Gru just looked at him silently, and didn't answer.

As if he understood something, the necromancer was taken aback: "Could it be... You have a new allegiance?"

As he spoke, he suddenly stepped forward with an eager expression, "Follow me again, Gru." Although I have become what I am now, one day, I will be able to regain the glory and status I lost, and as long as you and I join forces, we will have no rivals on this continent, just like before..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw Gru pull out the giant sword on his back and slash at the necromancer.

I heard a whistling roar, and a wind much stronger than Goodwin's sword just now escaped in all directions, and the dust on the ground was blown out of a deep furrow, which showed the power of this wave.

And at the moment when Gru swung his sword, the necromancer suddenly floated back with the wind pressure as if he had become weightless, and landed on the front of the giant sword's blade.

"You... Walk. Gru said in a deep voice.

"Hehehehe..."The necromancer laughed instead of being angry, and he let out a dark and ugly laugh, "You are still like that, once you decide who you are loyal to, no one else will take it seriously. ”

Gru didn't speak, and the hand holding the greatsword froze heavily, and he heard a soft gurgling of muscles, and the greatsword trembled like a heavy shield, as if to warn.

"Okay, I see..."The necromancer's eyes were instantly covered with a haze, and he slowly retreated, and as he retreated, he said coldly, "Only the stupidest person will clash with you head-on." ”

"However, no matter who you are loyal to now, sooner or later I will make you serve me again. Gru, you are meant to be mine, and, this time forever..."

As he spoke, the necromancer's figure faded like a ghost that melted into the darkness.

"Young master?" Seeing that the necromancer was leaving, Baste's eyes showed an inquiring look.

"No, take a look here. Raymond shook his head.

Although the target of the search is in sight, Raymond is now more interested in this mysterious swordsman named Gru.

Where did he come from, how did he relate to that necromancer, and who did he obey?

Everything makes people want to find out.

"That guy, is it—" At this time, Goodwin, who was watching from the sidelines, seemed to see the clue and made a gesture to stop the necromancer.

As soon as his body moved, Gru didn't say a word, and the giant sword stretched out horizontally, blocking his way.

After a moment's delay, the necromancer's figure swayed slightly and vanished.

"Hehe, I really didn't expect that necromancers also appeared on our continent. Goodwin sneered, returning his attention to Gru, "Okay, I'll go find that guy after I clean you up." ”

As he spoke, he exhaled slowly, put on a posture, and the whole person immediately fell silent like a rock.

Seeing this, the tip of the giant sword in his hand hung slightly, and he also entered the precursor of battle.

One is a powerful swordsman with a mysterious origin, and the other has the name of the Five Great Powers of Veronica. At this moment, although the two sides did not really make a move, they just confronted each other, which made a suffocating atmosphere condense in the empty venue.

At this time, Lorna, who had been watching both sides, also had a bright light in the girl's eyes.

After a moment of silence, he heard Goodwin shout, dragged his sword and rushed straight up, attacking first. In the face of the menacing old man, Gru still stood still with his sword down, and did not seem to take the other party in his eyes.

The two sides approached in an instant, and at the same time as rushing in front of Gru, Goodwin's heavy sword in his hand was raised, and with the help of his whole body, he slashed straight at Gru's waist from the bottom up.

At the same time, Gru, who had been standing silent, slashed with his low-hanging greatsword like lightning, and slashed at the top of Goodwin's head with incredible speed.

"When" "Knock"

Two sounds rang out almost in no particular order, and the blade of Goodwin's hand sank into Gru's armor, slicing through two fingers of steel like tofu. As he controlled the blade to move through Gru's body, he twisted his waist and Gru's giant sword slashed down, passing in front of him and smashing deep into the ground.

In the dust, Goodwin drew his sword and stepped back, leaping several meters away, spilling a red line of blood from the wound on Gru's abdomen to the tip of his sword.

Tick... Large swaths of blood oozed from Gru's wounds, dripping to the ground along the lines of his armor, and soon pooled under his feet, showing the power of the sword.

"Ahh Raymond and the others who were watching couldn't help but whisper, no one could have imagined that this seemingly powerful mysterious swordsman would be so seriously injured in one move.

However, Goodwin's expression was not at all relaxed. Staring at Gru, who was covered in blood, he said in a deep voice, "Do you look down on me? The strength to be able to kill Reiner with a single sword will never be just like this. ”

Gru didn't say a word in the face of Goodwin's questioning, he just hung the greatsword at his side again, as if to make a provocation, waiting for Goodwin to attack again.

I hit with all my might, but I only got such a reaction from my opponent. Goodwin's eyes suddenly showed anger, and he took a slow breath, "Okay, you brought it on yourself!"

Before the words fell, the figure flashed, and he rushed straight up again. This time the speed was even faster than the last time, and almost in the blink of an eye, Goodwin was in front of Gru, and the heavy sword in his hand slashed out at his neck.

Gru threw his greatsword in front of him, covering most of his body like a shield. With a loud thud, Goodwin's heavy sword grazed against the body of the greatsword, sending out a string of dazzling sparks.

When the blow missed, Goodwin didn't stop, immediately leaned around, and used the power of twisting his waist to spin the whole person in half a circle, turning to the other side of Gru's body, and the heavy sword pulled back and slashed towards Gru.

With the sword in his other hand, Gru had no time to parry back, and was about to be slashed by Goodwin like last time. At the critical moment, I don't know if he was dazed or overconfident in the defensive power of his heavy armor, so he raised his hand and met Goodwin's heavy sword.

"Good!" Goodwin's eyes widened, he was absolutely confident in the power of his heavy sword, Gru's move was tantamount to self-mutilation.

Sure enough, as soon as the blade made contact with Gru's wrist, it immediately sliced through the steel outside. Unbeknownst to him, the sword that should have successfully cut off Gru's wrist was like slashing something extremely hard, and it was stuck in it.

"What?" Goodwin was taken aback.

At the same time, a loud wind whistle was heard, but it was Gru's other hand that raised his greatsword and swept towards him like a wooden club.

At the last moment, Goodwin calmly shifted his body slightly, turned his wrist holding the sword, and at the same time pressed his shoulder against the sword, as if "hidden" behind the heavy sword.

Immediately after that, there was a loud bang, and Gru's greatsword smashed into the blade, and Goodwin immediately felt as if he had been hit head-on by a running demonic beast, and the whole person flew out sideways, even the heavy sword embedded in Gru's wrist was withdrawn.

I have to say that Jiang is still old and spicy, and Goodwin's move not only avoided a killing blow, but also recaptured the weapon. However, he was swept by Gru head-on, but it was not uncomfortable, Goodwin flew a few meters away, and after landing, he stumbled and almost fell, and hurriedly put his sword into the ground, which barely stabilized his body.

"This guy—" Standing up with his sword, Goodwin only felt half of his arm tremble slightly, and the pain was cracking.

Repelling Goodwin, Gru did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but once again hung his greatsword at his side. So far, he has not moved a single step from beginning to end, just like a reef that stands steadily, no matter how violent the impact is, it is difficult to shake the slightest.

At this moment, from the wound on Gru's abdomen and wrist, a large amount of blood dripped down, which was very clear in the silent night. However, after being seriously injured like this, Gru's expression never changed, silent, and indifferent, as if he was not injured at all.

This alone makes Ran feel an indescribable horror.
