Chapter 225 Nightmare

"Sister, I'm afraid." In the dimly lit underground passage, a seven- or eight-year-old boy wearing a cumbersome robe clutched a corner of a girl's long skirt with a look of panic and sadness on his face.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, elder sister will protect you." The girl with a short staff tightly in her hand heard her brother's cry, and hurriedly lowered her head, with a very stiff smile on her face.

"Not only will my elder sister protect you, but these brave and fearless battles will also protect you." The girl in a white noble dress squatted down, looked at her younger brother's tender face, and pointed to the twenty-odd people in front of her and behind her. Steel armor, a guard with a sword in one hand and a shield in the other.

"I don't want them to protect me, I want my father to protect me." The child heard his sister's comfort, the tears in his eyes suddenly fell, he plunged into his sister's arms, and let out a slight whimper: "Sister, can you tell me when Dad can come back?"

"..." The girl felt the whimpering sound of her brother's efforts in her arms, and her eyes turned red in an instant, "Father went out to protect the people of Ansel, and he won't be back for the time being."

"I want Dad." The eight-year-old child sobbed in a low voice. He had received a complete aristocratic education since he could remember, and his intelligence was comparable to that of some fifteen or sixteen-year-old commoners.

So, from where he is now, this child knows that this is not a place where he can freely vent his negative emotions, and he knows to control his emotions.

When they followed their sister, under the protection of the family guardian knight, when they entered the escape tunnel prepared in the underground of their own family castle, and saw the undead skeletons that were almost crowded into the tunnel, the children knew that their situation was very bad, and it was not for them to play by themselves. Temper, willful time.

The child recalled what happened not long ago - he was sitting in his room, taking questions from his personal teacher, while his father watched with a smile, but for some reason, the air suddenly changed. It was very depressing, and it made him uncomfortable, just like when he was drowning when he was five years old.

He saw with his own eyes that his white-haired teacher was clutching his chest, his face pale and soft to the ground. At the same time, he heard deafening explosions and vague roars and screams outside the window.

I also saw my father standing by the side, and at that moment, a dazzling crimson light of fighting qi burst out, instantly dispelling the gloomy feeling that shrouded him.

Just when he wanted to throw himself into his father's arms, his father grabbed him with a serious face and handed him over to his sister who ran over in a panic.

The next moment, lying in his sister's arms, he saw his father, he drew his sword, put on his armor, and rose into the sky. Before leaving, he heard his father's last words to his sister,

"Olina, take your brother, run, do everything, go to Asriel City, and seek the protection of Lord Marquis Luther."

The child knew that it was probably the last time he saw his father, because he had never seen his father so serious and solemn.

... "Miss, what should I do now?" A guard looked at the two siblings who were protecting them in the middle with a look of horror on his face, and asked in a low voice.

"According to my father's last order, I will do everything possible to go to Asriel and seek refuge from Lord Marquis Luther." The girl Olina replied with a resolute expression.

"But, Miss, you also know that all the teleportation formations in the castle are no longer available, and the three escape passages below the castle are all filled with skeleton racks, and we have no way to go to Asriel City. ."

"There is another way." Olina's face showed a resolute look, "Go directly from the ground."

"However, Miss, Ansel City is full of undead now. If you want to rush out with you, the risk is too difficult. It is difficult for us to guarantee that you will not be harmed."

"I'm a silver second-order mage, and I don't need your protection." Olina said with a serious face. "You just need to protect my brother well."

"Sister, can't we stay in the castle?" This is, the young boy who flung himself in the girl's flat arms raised his head and said timidly.

"No." Olina shook her head without hesitation, "We can't stay in the castle."

"Why can't you stay in the castle?" The young guard asked with a puzzled look, "Miss, according to what the young master said, stay in the castle, just open the defense circle and wait for rescue. Ansel City Those low-level undead skeletons will never be able to shake the defense of the castle, and we will be safe."

"Safety is only temporary, don't run now, in the end, we will end up like those skeletons.

Why do you think the corpses buried in the cemetery moved, and why did the dead bones buried deep in the ground turn into undead and crawl out? "

"Because of what?" the young guard asked dumbly. He didn't know why everything that was peaceful and beautiful had become like this.

"Because there is an existence that casts a top necromantic spell that covers the whole city, the undead natural disaster." Olina's face turned blue, and the more she knew, the more fearful she became. "That's why the dead will recover."

"The coverage and duration of the natural disaster of the undead are determined by the caster's understanding of spellcasting and the realm of strength. The person who cast the natural disaster of the undead against our city of Ansel is likely to be a legendary necromancer."

"Legend? How is it possible?"

"Yeah, how is it possible, if I didn't see it with my own eyes, I also believe that no legendary mage would come to Ansel City."

Olina recalled the horrific scenes that nearly suffocated her before the disaster.

At that time, Olina was holding a spell book, reading a book while swinging in the castle garden, quite leisurely. But when she felt a chilling wave sweep across the ground beneath her feet.

The aristocratic girl watched helplessly as one boneless arm protruded out of the soil under the colorful flowers in front of her, and then low-level skeleton soldiers with mutilated bodies crawled out, forming a very impactful picture.

Of course, this is just scary, not shocking. What happened next really made this noble girl unforgettable in her life.

A thick white bone giant hand, like the skeleton soldiers crawling out of the ground, suddenly appeared above the temple area in Ansel city, and then wrapped in terrifying death and curse, slapped all the temples with a slap.

Amid the scolding of the archbishop and the roar of the paladins, the giant white bone hand slapped the temple area with a slap...
