In the courtyard of the inn, Glori had risen early, had already chopped the branches of the tree for cooking, and had set up a stake as an imaginary enemy. "Eight hundred and ninety-seven, eight hundred and ninety-eight, eight hundred and ninety-nine......" he counted the number of times he swung his sword, full of sweat.

"Boy, it just so happens that I want to practice my hands too. ”

Hogan was carrying a longsword, but it hadn't been unscabbarded. He stepped forward, took a defensive stance with his left foot in front of him, and coldly swung his sword before taking a right step. As his sword slashed at Glori, he stepped on his left heel and stepped back into his original stride.

"Daddy Hogan, what are you doing here?" Glori did the same, using it to block Hogan's slash.

"It's good, offense is the best defence. Early in the morning, I saw you practicing, so I wanted to give it a try. Still, you should go ahead and do your sword swinging exercises. Hogan sat dejectedly on a stake beside him. He's complaining about his lack of skills.

Glori's hands were numb. He moved for a moment, and then said, "Not all of the elders I've met like to be reserved. Just now, I almost misjudged. He could see that the innkeeper had timed his sword well. If Hogan had moved his right foot first, he would have been spotted by Glori, but Hogan didn't do that.

"It's funny...... If you're interested, I'll be generous...... I mean, it gives you a glimpse into some fun martial arts. Hogan deliberately hung his appetite. He wished to teach his swordsmanship to Glori, as he didn't like his former apprentices.

"If you're willing to teach, I'd love to see it. Glori put away the sword in his hand and said with a smile.

"Then when the monster comes out......" Hogan said happily, but without full interest.

At this moment, Dylan, who had a pancake in his mouth, jumped out of the second-floor window and headed for Glori.

"Oh, Glori. You're up so early again. Isn't it supposed to be dreaming?" Dylan swallowed the pancake and drew his sword. He took two quick steps and swung his sword at Glori.

"Dylan, you're not done yet!" called Iris from the window. Before that, Dylan saw Glori outside, took just one piece, and slipped away. So, she planned to bring breakfast to Dylan.

"Today, we have other things to do. Dylan, put away your sword, and we'll try again another day. Glory dodged Dylan's sword strike. After speaking, Glori became depressed and even frowned.

"Today, what's wrong with you, it's not like you. "Yesterday, Glori was encouraging everyone, and today, Glori is like a different person - Dylan wants to find out.

"Dylan, this is me, you don't have to care. ”

Glori felt a little uneasy at the thought of defeating the monsters of the Mochizuki Plains at night. This uneasiness comes from the previous battle with the Wind Demon Dog. Glori didn't want to explain, so he left Dylan in a daze. There are some problems that can't be solved by sharing, and Glori knows that.

As the village of Grimrose is lit up, the roads that connect with Grimrose on the plains are gradually obscured by grass. As originally planned, Glori and his companions placed traps in the north-south direction of Grimrose, as well as magic charms to lure the monsters into appearing.

At this moment, Susan, who was prostrate on the grass, picked up her bow and arrows and stood up. She shot a feathered arrow with pinpoint accuracy. Then, the black thing, with flashing red eyes, ran towards where she was. "It's coming! This spell I bought at the magic shop works. She shouted. She was worried, but she was happy, worried because she was afraid that her friends would get hurt, and happy because she was with Glori. So, she frowned and ran to her friends with steps that could not be stopped by the weeds.

"We'll catch it with a trap. Then we can take a good look at its ugly appearance. Wei had left the grass to answer Susan. Then, Wei saw axes flying out of the black mist. He stomped on his left foot and raised his shield.

In an instant, Krell Reed, with red eyes, emerged from the black mist on a large, fleshless wolf. "Ahaha...... A few more guys who don't know how small they are. He pressed his face close to Will's face, and then looked at Willy with his red eyes.

"Whew......"

Suddenly, Krel's mount roared. It was caught by Susan's hunting trap, and the arrows glowing with snow-white light circled around the ground, a magic that made it immobile.

"Whatever you are, you'll have to pay for what you've done!, besides, you're a monster who obeys the order," Dylan said as he brandished his flaming sword, "Blazing Sword, Flame Forever!" he took the sword, struck several fiery trails of flame at the monster's body, and then jumped violently. He struck with all his might, slashing at the monster's head.

Dylan thought the monster was disappearing and walked away. "Look, it's that simple. ”

However, no one knew that the monster was rapidly recovering. When the wind direction of the plains changes, so does the grass. At this moment, the green leaves of the grass turned into pitch-black claws, stabbing at Glori and his friends. Glori unleashed the dragon's fire, trying to dispel the pitch-black claws. At the same time, Zoe also took a hand - she threw balls of fire around.

"Wait, didn't you notice? This monster is not afraid of magic, and ...... Will, be careful, it's about to break free from Susan's trap!" Elrith shouted halfway through her words.

"What would make the King of Shennuo fear?" Will, shielding Krel's thumpping blow. 52

Krell rode the skeleton wolf and leaped over the mighty to sweep Susan, but Susan was more swift in his actions. He saw Susan make a light roll to Dylan's side. Then, his second sweep was caught by Dylan.

However, Krell still spotted Iris in the rear. He knew it was their weakness. So, he pulled the reins and let the mount pat Dylan over with its heavy claws. He dismounted from the wolf, stepped over Dylan's raised shield, and slashed at Elris.

"Be careful! Elris!" Glori followed Krel's movements, jumped to his feet, and received Krel's axe strike in the air.

"Glori, it's just in time. Dylan, take care of our eldest lady!" Zoe had just finished speaking, when a sweep broke through the protective flame barrier.

"We'd better all be careful. This guy is quite flexible. Dylan pressed his shield against the skullwolf's fangs and said.

"Dylan, this monster has been chasing me!" Elrith shouted. She ran as far away from the village as she could, praying for everyone's blessings. Glori, on the other hand, was protecting Iris while trying to block the sudden attack of the Black Claws.

Soon, the colorful magic that everyone had just been endowed with was devoured by Krel. He became more and more ferocious, as if he couldn't wait for dessert.

In the place of the ambush just now, Andrew didn't know how to start. He didn't want to go up and cause trouble, so he stepped back a little distance—the monster wasn't just nimble than the mechanical guards, it had brains, he knew. It was time of chaos, and he saw Will cut off the pitch-black claws beside him and go to Dylan's aid.

Another gust of wind howled, and Hogan appeared on the east side. He had a sword in his hand, and he knew it was the last time he would use it in his life. He wears a shabby white cloak and shiny white armor, while on his chest is the Bloodblade Sword insignia of the Kingdom of Alex.

Finally, Andrew recognized him. He remembered the legend who had been born on a different day than Xavier, the nameless Tempest Juggernaut. He even remembered the sword in Hogan's hand stained with the blood of enemies and traitors.

As Andrew pondered, Krell used his magic to turn the pitch-black claws around him into monsters identical to him.

"It's a problem. "Zoe knocks out a skeleton wolf knight with her fist. However, the guy she knocked down stood up again. Surrounded by her, Wei and Andrew stood with her.

Glori's heart was a little apprehensive about what was in front of him. The scene in the Sea of Wind Scars kept flashing through his mind, but he calmed his mind and let the fear dissipate. "Dylan, one on the side. He said to Dylan. He formed a triangle formation with Dylan and Ireth. They were also surrounded.

"Of course, no problem. But what do we do with this bunch of monsters?" Dylan reminded. He was disappointed when he saw Susan break into the encirclement. But even if Susan was gone, who could she turn to help? He had to look around and wait for Glori to come up with a plan. "It's not what I expected!"

Just when Glori couldn't do anything, Hogan used magic to transmit sound. "Glori, listen up. I can only reproduce this sword technique once, you must remember it well! Don't forget the sword technique I taught you like last time. ”

"Daddy Hogan! I haven't forgotten those sword skills at all, but I'm not sure who the professor is. Now, I'm sure!" shouted Glori.

"Huh...... Then, feel the wind carefully. ”

Hogan drew his sword. He stepped out with his left foot and remained in a defensive position. Then, with the sword in both hands, his weight resting on his right foot, prompting the tip of the sword to point at the grass. At that moment, he took a deep breath and let the wind converge from all directions—the sword seemed to be infused with endless magic, causing the monsters surging towards Hogan to be blocked by the overflowing magic. After a while, the negative effect appeared, and Hogan was trembling.

"The wind that terrorizes the enemy, the blade that repents the traitor...... Here, show your strength......" Hogan fell, swinging his sword with all his might.

In the blink of an eye, the night turned to day, and the howling wind outperformed the tornado. I saw that the avatar of the monster disappeared in the raging wind, leaving only his true body.

"Now!Glori, dispel the dark magic from him. Hogan screamed.

"Dragonfire!" Glori delivered a fierce blow without hesitation, piercing through Krel's massive body. However, Krell did not fall, and the blow, as Hogan had said, only dispelled the dark magic in Krel's body.

"Juggernaut, do you remember me?" said Krel, confused. Now, he has changed from tall to short. However, without the power of dark magic, his red eyes remained.

"Heh, you're the guy who followed that old man from Xavier...... A shy servant. Hogan laughed. He tried to stay on his feet, but he couldn't stop his sturdy hands from becoming shriveled. "Look, that's what magic ......is when it wears off," he struggled to shake off the tilt of his body, plunged his sword into the grass, and closed his eyes lightly.

Looking at the white light flying in the sky, Andrew gave a solemn bow. "A star that illuminates the kingdom has fallen. ”

"Glori, Carlos, when will you become stronger, when, exactly!" Glori hissed. Immediately, the day flashed and the sky roared.
