Chapter 2583 Black Swordsman
On the carriage, the black swordsman fell asleep, and the devil came as expected. But the devil's approach would activate the mark, and the pain woke the black swordsman up and he fought back against the devil.
A large number of skeleton beast ghosts appeared outside, and it was still a long time before dawn. The black swordsman picked up the sword and killed them.
Skeleton soldiers with weapons gathered from all around, using the night as a cover to surround the enemy.
The black swordsman kept swinging the huge sword in his hand and fighting with the skeleton soldiers. He couldn't stop at all. Perhaps only by fighting continuously could he forget the pain.
However, during the battle, the black swordsman didn't realize that the priest's daughter had been taken advantage of by the vengeful spirit and was controlled.
The priest was chopped off the neck by his daughter, and the elf reminded the black swordsman in horror. The black swordsman was also stunned when he saw this. He knew very well what would happen next, and he had to kill the girl.
Because it was still a long time before dawn, the girl had been possessed. If he didn't kill her, she would hide and hurt more people.
While he was stunned, the girl had already launched an attack and stabbed the black swordsman in the abdomen. However, because of the armor protection, the wound was not deep. Looking at the girl who was close at hand, he thought of how she had just cared for him and was a kind girl, but she brought bad luck because of him.
Because the black swordsman escaped from the Eclipse, there was a brand behind his neck representing the identity of the sacrifice, which could attract demons. And when the black swordsman approached the demon, the brand would also hurt slightly. The more powerful the demon was, the more painful it was.
It turned out that the black swordsman was the young man with broken arms who was rescued by the Skeleton Knight that day. At this time, his arm was installed with a prosthesis, and he was holding a dragon-slaying sword that would not break again, looking for clues about Griffith and wanted revenge. However, no matter where he went, every night, the demons attracted by the brand would always gather and cause tragedy.
Although Guts was determined not to be taken advantage of, the people around him would always be possessed, and then Guts could only kill them.
For example, now, the kind-hearted girl, after being possessed, she even killed her own biological father, and she was no longer herself. Guts only knows how to physically exorcise demons, so ending the girl's life is his only choice now.
The girl's sword has pierced Guts' abdomen, which also means that she is within Guts' attack range. Guts swung the dragon-slaying sword with anger at the evil spirits, and this blow was enough to cut the girl in two.
But at the moment when the sword fell, a black shadow came in front of Guts, and then a slender arm wearing a wrist guard blocked the falling heavy sword.
This is not over yet, and the tall woman with blond hair and silver eyes took out the sun's light.
Boom!
In an instant, the entire battlefield and half of the forest were shrouded in warm sunlight, and Guts and the elf Buck were stunned. The resentful spirit in the girl's body was also dispelled by this sunlight.
The surrounding skeleton soldiers also couldn't bear the sunlight and turned into ordinary skeletons.
The girl fainted.
Guts and Buck had time to observe the woman who caused all this. Was she a warrior? But she used magic-like skills. Was she a witch? But she carried two swords on her back.
"Great Sword Warrior, really a Great Sword Warrior." The elf Buck said excitedly: "I heard in the human town that there is a group of blonde and silver-eyed female warriors who will travel with two great swords on their backs, eradicating evil along the way and bringing good luck. So beautiful." Even the elves admit the beauty.
At this time, the great sword warrior Irene just looked at the girl sadly. She found the wound on the girl's body: "Was she seriously injured before being possessed? Do you know that she can't be saved, so you kill her, Black Swordsman?"
Everyone is a wanderer. Although the great sword warrior is famous, the black swordsman is also famous.
Gus didn't say anything. What spare energy did he have to save others? He just wanted to leave.
Irene took out the element bottle and poured it into the girl, but the wound was not completely healed: "This won't work. Surgery must be performed immediately. Can you drive a carriage? Let's go to the next town for surgery."
Gus heard that the girl could still be saved, and immediately got on the carriage silently, saying that he could drive the carriage.
Irene gently carried the girl to the carriage, took care of the girl, and continued on the road.
Along the way, the elf introduced himself: "I am Buck, and the cold guy is called Gus."
"I am Irene." Irene said: "Do you know the name of this girl?"
"Grete, her father called her that." The elf Buck couldn't imagine what would happen to the girl after she knew that he killed her father.
Irene nodded and whispered in the girl's ear: "Grete, hold on."
When they arrived in the town, the group asked for a room in the hotel, and then began the operation. The warhorse carried a full set of surgical instruments. Irene had also received simple surgical training, so she performed a tense operation and finally cured the girl, but the girl still needed to rest.
Gus's expression was obviously relieved, he was still kind.
Buck flew around the room happily, thinking that the greatsword warrior was indeed extraordinary, and could even treat such injuries.
"Gus, are you leaving now?" Buck found that Gus was leaving.
Gus had his own destination, which was a lord country in front. He could feel that there was a huge demon entrenched in the country in front.
Since the girl is fine, Guts will continue to move forward. Revenge is urgent.
"Are you going to the city ahead to hunt apostles? I advise you to stop. Even our Great Swords need to form a team to fight apostle-level demons. I have already submitted an application to fight the apostles. Other Great Swords are rushing here. After the members of the fighting team arrive, we can go together."
Guts didn't expect that the Great Sword knew that there were apostles in the city ahead. If it was an apostle, he couldn't delay: "I can do it alone." After saying that, he left.
Erin shook her head and she would continue to wait for other teammates, who would arrive in the next two days.
Fighting the apostles and forming a team has a higher tolerance rate.
Guts couldn't wait to enter the city, but he couldn't beat the apostles. Because the apostles are lords and have troops under them, although Guts is very strong, facing a well-equipped army with bows and crossbows, he can't get close to the castle at all.
So Guts was chased in the city and was in a mess. In addition to the apostles, there were also beast demon warriors strengthened by the apostles. They were outnumbered and had the advantage.
Irene, who stayed in the hotel and waited, also waited for the other two teammates, Fran and Vivi.
"This time, the subjugation mission is for the three of us." Fran said, "So what's the intelligence?"
Irene said, "The enemy is the apostles and the strengthened beast demons, as well as the lord's army. The army does not know that their lord has become a monster, and still loyally obeys the lord's orders. Moreover, the people in the territory also support the lord very much, because this lord was very respected before he became a monster. He has been fighting against pagans and resisting invasions from neighboring countries. Although he is decisive in killing, the people support this strong lord very much. So if we go to fight the lord, we will face a very unfavorable situation."
Fran said, "We must fight, let's go, let's go into the city first."
Everyone knows that Fran has experience in fighting apostles, so Irene and Vivi listen to Fran.
