The atmosphere suddenly became serious, or the entire venue became colder. A certain gloomy feeling spread in the forest, and the chill it brought was most likely an illusion, or it might be real.
A drop of cold sweat broke out on Arthur's forehead. He didn't know how strong the enemy that was about to appear was, but he at least knew that this enemy came with bad intentions and exuded some kind of annoying and corrupt aura.
Is it a witch? It should be close to that. Since the swamp ghost is the product of witches' witchcraft, then the enemy who is about to appear is not a witch, but at least a guy who is proficient in witchcraft. It is because there is a kind of evil use of magic in this world.
That guy, magic would be so hated in this different world nine hundred years later.
"Dog------Emperor------Emperor------!" What seemed to be a human figure slowly walked out of the forest, wrapped in black miasma, making it difficult to see the figure.
Whether the figure is a man or a woman, you can only vaguely see that it is a figure. There are countless swamp ghosts flying around him or her, the number is so shocking that you can't even count them, and they are not at all the dozen or so that escaped just now.
It was comparable to the swamp wraiths. It was only then that Arthur realized that the swamp wraiths that had just surrounded the carriage were only consumables released, and they were only a very small part of the enemy's countless consumables.
Moreover, what does "dog emperor" mean? Could it be Arthur who was scolded?
No. How is it possible? There are only a few people in this different world who know Arthur's true identity, and for people of this era, it was nine hundred years ago that Arthur became king. How could it be possible that nine hundred years have passed?
The ex-guy came to settle accounts with Arthur. Besides, Arthur didn't do anything bad, so he would be called the "Dog Emperor"?
In other words, the black figure is not coming for Arthur, he or she is looking for ------
The young king Henry VI hiding in a carriage?
The figure gradually came closer, and Arthur could see the figure more clearly. It should be a man, tall, thin, and abnormally distorted. In addition, this guy was completely shrouded in shadow, and his face could not be seen.
On the face that seemed to be there in the black shadow, only the two eyes with purple-white light were particularly eye-catching.
"Dog------Emperor------Emperor------!" The guy who didn't look like a human or a ghost kept mumbling the same words, "But remember
The Massacre of Sheffield in 1406?!------"
"The Sheffield Massacre?" Arthur groaned.
"It should be about the rebellion of the Marquis of Sheffield, La Woods, more than 20 years ago." The captain of the guard muttered in a low voice: "In order to suppress it, the entire family of the Marquis of Sheffield and related people were executed.
Thousands of people."
"Oh, was it that incident?" Arthur pretended to remember it, but in fact he knew nothing about that kind of thing.
"Are you a descendant of the LaWoods family?" the captain of the guard asked loudly: "In those days, it was normal for the royal family to execute rebels. I can only blame you for launching a rebellion and bringing turmoil to Britain! The undead from back then still want to come now.
Revenge and harm our kingdom? It would be better for you to disappear as soon as possible!"
"Dog------Emperor------Emperor------!" The other party didn't listen at all. Maybe he was overwhelmed by hatred and lost his mind. He rushed towards the carriage.
Got it!
Whoosh! In this case, Verne fired the crossbow without thinking much. Arthur also admired the child's mental endurance. However, the crossbow arrow did not hit the man surrounded by the black mist.
In an instant, he was resisted by the swamp wraiths wrapped around the man's body. These swamp wraiths were extremely fragile. After being hit by the arrow, they immediately turned into a ball of black pulp and disappeared, but this time the sticky stuff did not fall to the ground.
, but was absorbed by the weirdo and became part of the black mist on that person. Then another swamp wraith emerged from behind the weirdo to replace the missing swamp wraith.
So that’s it, are they all summoned monsters? Moreover, every time a Swamp Wraith dies, it immediately turns into magic power and is absorbed, and the weirdo releases a new Swamp Wraith. This is an infinite loop, infinite summoning.
, can never be used up.
In a sense, this is the most powerful summoning spell. Even in the original world nine hundred years ago, Arthur had never seen a similar spell. On the contrary, someone in this world used it. This is really a photon civilization.
An extremely low-level world?
And Arthur also noticed that the man seemed to be holding something in his hand. Although he couldn't see clearly because of the black air, the rectangular object in the man's hand was very strange in thickness and size, and it didn't look like a sword weapon.
, but a bit like a book.
Book? Could it be ------
"Fire the arrow!! Don't let it get close!!" Seeing that Verne's arrow had no effect, the captain of the guard shouted to his subordinates. They all raised their bows and fired volleys, trying to shoot the approaching black weirdo into a hornet's nest.
However, all the arrows were blocked by the swamp ghosts beside him before they approached the man. Although those swamp ghosts were fragile, they had strong buffering capabilities. They blocked the arrows and disappeared. At the same time, the strange man
New swamp wraiths were quickly added behind him, and the cycle could continue almost infinitely. Relying on the protection of a group of swamp wraiths, the guy approached the carriage unscrupulously, and kept muttering: "Dog------
"It's a bit annoying." Arthur snorted and rushed over to fight the weirdo in close combat. I don't know how bitter and resentful that guy is, but he has strayed from the path of [human] and turned into this kind of monster.
Or a dangerous existence like a wraith, Arthur would naturally have a reason to eliminate him.
Oops! The Holy Sword swept past. The Holy Sword was powerful and had the ability to kill demons. It should be enough to repel that weirdo.
However, the opponent dodged. It should be said that he used several swamp ghosts to delay Arthur's attack for himself--even if it was only for a mere half a second--and then retreated to avoid it.
The trajectory of Arthur's slash. The swamp spirit disintegrated instantly when it came into contact with the holy sword, but there was still a sticky feeling, as if it had been struck by mud, which made Arthur's sword slow down by half a beat.
"Hmph." Arthur hummed, and after catching up, he struck back with another sword!
"Don't stop me!" the weirdo said in a long voice, still using the swamp spirit released to slow down Arthur's attack and taking the opportunity to dodge. And this guy is much more agile than he looks, not just retreating
He dodged the fierce attack of the King of Knights, slipped past one side, and sprinted toward the carriage while leaving Arthur behind!
"We're not done yet!" Arthur turned around and slashed out another sword, trying to attack the strange man's back. But the swamp ghosts came out from behind the strange man, and Arthur had just killed him with the previous sword.
Three swamp wraiths, and three more swamp wraiths immediately emerged behind the weird man. They emerged directly from the weird man's back surrounded by black smoke, and just blocked Arthur's sword blade.
It was still the unpleasant feeling of a sword slashing into the mud. Arthur frowned and at the same time, the weirdo had already run away and became closer to the carriage.
"He's coming, defend!!" the guard captain shouted, and the guards raised their shields and stood firm. But Arthur doubted that their shields could withstand the attack of magic or more mysterious witchcraft. There are some in this world.
[Mystery] is not a physical impact.
Sure enough, as soon as the strange man got close to the carriage, he went crazy and released thousands of swamp ghosts. Countless black shadows began to circle around the carriage like a storm. The situation was quite chaotic!
"Bedi, Xiaoxing!!" Arthur felt bad and shouted.
In fact, he didn't need to remind him that the great white wolf Bedivere had already led Verne to forcefully break through the storm of the swamp spirit; Xiaoxing also rushed forward desperately and crashed out.
"Are you okay?!" Arthur asked immediately when he saw Bedivere coming to join him.
"Woof!" Bedivere replied. He seemed to be completely unharmed, but Verne on the wolf's back seemed to have been attacked. He was already lying motionless on the wolf's back!
Arthur took a look at Verne. Fortunately, the kid seemed to be just asleep. He was so asleep that he couldn't even wake up even if he slapped his face.
Hypnosis? Probably. When Bediwell broke through the storm of swamp ghosts, he was inevitably touched by those black monsters of unknown origin. Bediwell himself is a high-level demon and should be able to resist all kinds of powerful hypnosis, but sitting on Bediwell
The Verne on Verne's back is different, he is just a human child.
What about Xiaoxing? The big white horse just rushed out and immediately looked at Arthur with a curious expression. He didn't seem to be affected in any way. He is a dragon after all, and his resistance to hypnosis may be higher than that of higher demons.
"Huh------" Arthur glanced at the group of people surrounded by the storm of swamp ghosts. Almost all the guards fell down, and the storm composed of swamp ghosts gradually turned into a black
The cover shrouded the entire area on the carriage side in darkness.
"Sleep------go------! Die------go------!" The unpleasant voice continued to murmur: "Trapped------
Go to -------eternal sleep------! Together with that dog emperor, we will become the bait for revenge!"
This scene seemed familiar, and Arthur suddenly remembered, isn't this the spell released by the nightmares?
Nightmares are terrifying creatures. People affected by nightmare spells will be forced into sleep and haunted by nightmares. If they cannot escape from the nightmares by their own will, they will be controlled step by step by that terrible mind control spell.
The earth cannibalizes. Not only the spirit is cannibalized, but also the body is cannibalized. People trapped in the endless nightmare will gradually melt from various internal organs into blood, and eventually become the nutrients of the nightmare.
Knights of Great Britain are no stranger to nightmares.
Because before being promoted from the Black Iron Knight to the Silver Knight, the knights need to pass the trial of the nightmare. Only those with extremely strong hearts and strong enough to resist the nightmare are qualified to be promoted from the rank of the Black Iron Knight.
Although the form has changed, Arthur's intuition tells him that the darkness in front of him is the nightmare's signature magic, and it can't be wrong!
The so-called swamp ghost is just a shape of a nightmare that has no definite form and is controlled by witchcraft!
That weirdo was supposed to be just a human, but he was actually able to use a terrifying creature like a nightmare as his own familiar or familiar!
It has never happened before in history that humans control high-level demons as familiars!
Is it because the book in his hand - the "Magic Book of the Abyss" - is causing trouble?! (To be continued)
