When Gawain held the sword tightly and rushed towards the ferocious and strange monster, there was no tension, no hesitation, and no fear in Gawain's heart. If he had to say something, it was probably just a little bit trance and unreal. feel.
He still clearly remembers the moment when his plane crashed.
He still clearly remembers the hundreds of thousands of years that he hung high in the sky of this world.
He has not yet adapted well to the identity of Gawain Cecil who fell from the sky.
However, at this moment, he gripped an ancient family sword tightly and pounced towards a strange monster that didn't know whether it was a demon or an undead.
Bang!
A huge impact came from the sword blade, and all the distracting thoughts in his mind disappeared instantly.
With an almost instinctive reaction, Gawain dodged the monster's sweeping claws. Gawain twisted his upper body in a small half circle, and the swinging sword blade cut a stream of light in the air, slashing fiercely towards him. The monster's shoulder, and while slashing with the sword blade, he worked hard to mobilize the power contained in this body and guide that power to the long sword in his hand.
The faint ray of red at the root of the sword bloomed with bright red light under the stimulation of power, and spread rapidly along the blade like a flame. Under the scorching high temperature, even the surrounding areas The air was distorted.
The three-meter-tall monster felt threatened by the high temperature of the sword blade, and suddenly leaned back with an agility that was completely incompatible with its huge size. As a result, Gawain's slash was just a hair's breadth away. Failed.
The first time he used his own hands to release this magical supernatural power, Gawain would inevitably have a moment of excitement and excitement in his heart. It was probably this moment of excitement that made him unable to He grasped the rhythm of the first attack, but soon he adjusted his mentality and poured power into the sword again.
As expected, all the skills and knowledge from Gawain Cecil in my memory can be used. This body has not declined to the point where it can no longer exert its power. Although it is not known how much power it can exert. However, Gawain has gained a lot of confidence at this moment.
He began to immerse himself in the battle, and tried to convert the combat experiences in his mind that did not belong to him into usable power as quickly as possible.
On the other side, Byron is already in a hard fight.
This mid-level knight is considered one of the top masters of Cecil. His fighting career before serving the Cecil family also allowed him to accumulate extraordinary combat experience. However, when monsters attacked the castle before, he By that time, too much energy had been consumed, and coupled with the strange magic power of the monster, the hidden injuries in his body further reduced his combat effectiveness. This allowed the knight to only exert 40 to 50% of his 100% combat effectiveness.
At this moment, facing the monster's repeated attacks, he could only hold on to the sword tightly and try to remain undefeated, saving his energy as much as possible while trying to find the opponent's flaws.
Rebecca gathered her magic power, and a scorching fireball the size of a head shot out of the sky.The front end of the staff flew out and collided fiercely with the shadow arrow of the magic-casting monster in the distance in the air, causing an earth-shattering explosion. Then she took a breath and immediately noticed the dangerous situation on Byron's side, and shouted to the side beside her. The territorial soldiers shouted: "You three, go help Byron!"
A soldier hesitated: "But Lord..."
Rebecca's side Condensing the new fireball technique, he shouted: "We are okay for the time being - but if Byron falls, it will be over! As a lord, I order you to go!"
The three soldiers could only take the order. , fight with the Byron Knight against that terrible monster.
Gawain is gradually immersed in the battle. The memories and experiences in his mind that do not belong to him are quickly transformed into his own, and his ability to control his new body is improved. This process gives Gawain He felt a complete sense of accomplishment. When he woke up from this immersive state, he found that the monster in front of him had been suppressed and beaten by him.
The deformed bodies surging with "sludge" are not invulnerable. They will still be injured if they are chopped, and they will still die if they are chopped too much. Although they are extremely powerful and have size advantages, As long as we master the method of confrontation, humans can still destroy them.
This is the experience left behind seven hundred years ago.
The monster's sharp claws passed over the head. Gawain ducked and stabbed the long sword into the opponent's thigh with his backhand. The latter finally let out a muddy roar and moved his body uncontrollably to the side. Tilted, and taking this opportunity, Gawain shouted to Byron: "Try to attack their abdomen and lower limbs, don't worry about the chest, these guys have no heart!"
Then he took advantage of his opponent's loss Balanced, he twisted around to the opponent's side and rear, raised his sword and stabbed the monster's lower back: "In addition to the abdominal cavity, their other weak point is at the back! The lower back!"
It sounds like it's being blocked. With the guidance of the ancestor of the Sear family, Byron suddenly became energetic. With the cooperation of the three soldiers, he quickly restrained the monster's actions, and at the cost of having his shoulder armor pierced by sharp claws, he directly struck out from the opponent's body. He slipped under the crotch and hit the vital point with a sword in reverse.
The second before Byron solved the enemy, the monster in front of Gawain also fell heavily.
After taking care of the enemy, Gawain immediately raised his head and looked at the monster in the distance who was using shadow arrows to fight with Rebecca's fireballs. But just when he was about to rush over and confront him, The monster suddenly let out a shrill roar, and then fell down convulsively.
Amber's figure appeared behind the monster, spinning a poisoned steel dagger in each hand: "Poke anus, I'm good at it."
Rebecca put it down Staff, her cheeks were slightly red from the continuous casting of spells. She took two breaths to calm down, and then corrected her seriously: "The ancestors are talking about the lower back, not the chrysanthemum."
Amber General The dagger in her hand spun twice quickly, and she didn't know where she hid the dagger. She stepped over the monster's body,He walked over and pouted: "Tch, there's no sense of humor at all."
After those monsters died, they began to disintegrate quickly, and the slurry-like substance that was constantly flowing on their bodies first stopped flowing. Then gradually dry up, harden, and appear a large number of tiny cracks. As these mutated "flesh" decay and fall off, they will turn into a huge, twisted bloody skeleton at an extremely fast speed.
Gawain stood next to the monster he killed, looking down at the process, as if talking to himself: "So these are the things that attacked Cecil's territory..."
Hetty looked at him curiously: "Ancestor, do you know the origin of these monsters?"
Gawain had already shown his deep understanding of these monsters in the previous battle. He understood, and even gave Byron instructions on how to fight them, so naturally he couldn't hide this, and he didn't want to hide it himself.
"You may encounter them if you stay here. Let's go to the secret passage first. There is something to suppress those monsters in the secret passage. They will not go in easily," Gawain said as he stepped forward, " I can tell you the details on the way."
After entering the ancient underground passage and advancing for a while, Gawain broke his silence: "I did deal with them back then - in fact. Those were the things we mainly dealt with back then. You should know the history of the collapse of the Gondor Empire and its second expansion, right?"
"Of course," Rebecca nodded immediately. This history can be said. It is a required course for her as a noble child. "More than seven hundred years ago, there was originally only one human kingdom in the Loren continent, and that was the Gondor Empire located in the center of the continent. Historical records indicate that it was the most powerful empire on the continent at that time, even The Silver Empire established by the elves in the southern part of the continent did not dare to easily become their enemy. However, the etheric sea surrounding the world later became turbulent, triggering a catastrophe known as the 'Dark Demon Tide' in the Loren continent. The outbreak point of the disaster was in the heart of the Gondor Empire - almost overnight, the capital and one-third of the Gondor Empire were swallowed up by the demonic tide and disintegrated by the surging elemental power..."
"It didn't happen overnight. In fact, this process lasted for nearly a month - the court mages of Gondor didn't do anything in the face of the demonic tide," Gawain interrupted, and then motioned for the other party to continue. , "But the results are similar, you continue."
"Oh...oh," Rebecca blushed and said more cautiously, as if being checked by a parent for homework, "In that After that, the demonic tide in the hinterland of the Gondor Empire continued to spread around, and finally completely destroyed the entire country. This was the collapse of the Gondor Empire. After that, as the Ether Sea gradually calmed down, the power of the demonic tide began to decrease. The surviving Gondor remnants began to rebuild civilization. Since the central area of the continent was in decay and no longer suitable for human survival, they left the ruined empire under the leadership of a group of pioneers and headed toward the southeast, northwest and northwest. Proceed in four directionsPioneering, known as the second pioneering in history. Ancestor, you are one of the most famous pioneer knights back then. "
"Well, I learned history well," Gawain boasted casually, "Then you should have heard that even though the demonic tide is over, there are still a large number of people in the ruins of the Gondor Empire. The monsters born in the demonic tide were one of the biggest threats faced by mankind during the second development. "
Hetty's eyes widened: "You mean..."
"Yes, those were the things that fought us back then," Gawain sighed, "They Born from the demonic tide, it has an outline that looks like a human being, but it is definitely not a human being. After the collapse of the Gondor Empire, a large number of such monsters emerged from the ruins of the hinterland of the empire and continued to spread in all directions, hunting down the survivors. Therefore, the first half of the second expansion was not so much a journey of expansion as a journey of expansion. Rather, it is an escape journey. And even if we later broke away from the wasteland of the empire and established a new country on the edge of the continent, those monsters did not stop. They continued to come from the direction of the wasteland of the empire and frequently attacked the defense lines of the civilized world... In the Anzu Kingdom For the next ten years, I dealt with them almost every day. "
Rebecca's eyes widened, as if she had been deeply attracted by these ancient and legendary stories: "Ah, then ten years after the founding of Ansu, those monsters will no longer appear? "
Gawain smiled, stretched out his hand to stroke the girl's hair, and smiled like a silly roe deer: "Silly boy, your ancestor will die after that..."
Rebecca: "..."
