Chapter 18: Demon King's Sword (Part 1)
"It's over!" This was Ulysses' first thought when he saw the blood-red figure. Just now all the elites of the three major mercenaries and the sixth-level magician, Lasputin, were unable to defeat this perverted masked man, and now there are only two of him and Lasputin, and Lasputin has obviously lost the battle. Power, no matter how they think about it, they have no chance of winning.
"Da! Da!" The masked man's footsteps slowly walking towards Ulysses seemed to hit Ulysses' heart with a heavy hammer. Could it be that he was going to be killed by this murderer again! It was the Book of the Demon King who rescued him last time, but the same fortune cannot happen again today. Is it true that he really can't escape this catastrophe today.
Suddenly, there was a "bang" in the street.
"Mom and dad are the most annoying! I don't care! I must go to Alice's house tonight. This is an appointment with her a week ago. Liss, I'm leaving." A beautiful eleven and twelve. A little girl around the age of 10 suddenly rushed out of a door beside the street. She was wearing a small white dress with a big white crystal bow on her head and dazzling golden hair. At first glance, she knew she was a little princess who was born in a noble family.
"Miss! Please come back soon! The Lord and Madam Earl have urged you to never go out at night during this period of time. Recently, a murderer appeared on the street at night, and more than a dozen nobles who went out at night have died. In his hands. For this, the nobles and merchants in the city pooled together 200,000 gold coins to offer a reward for this murderer. Please do not go out at night until the mercenaries destroy him." A woman in her twenties yelled and ran out of the door following the little girl. Judging from the tone of her speech, she is probably a maid in a noble family.
"La!" The little girl ran back and made a grimace at the woman named Lis, and said disbelief: "I don't believe those silly things that mom and dad said to you! I've heard this kind of story a long time ago. Tired. Why is there a devil who specializes in catching little girls at night! Saying that panic will be drawn by evil ghosts! It was made up by you adults to deceive children! I didn't believe this as early as ten years old."
"No! Miss, it's true this time. Murderers really appeared on the streets recently! I personally accompanied my wife to the funeral of a nobleman who was killed by a murderer! So even if I beg Please, come back soon!" The woman named Lis almost burst into tears.
"Really!" The little girl slowed down, looking a little hesitant.
"Run away! The murderer is here!" Ulysses reacted at this moment. The two people in front of him were just two family members of nobles without any force, and he couldn't help screaming immediately.
"Ah? Murderer." The two girls heard Ulysses' scream at the same time, and looked at Ulysses. The blood-red masked man with a short knife immediately frightened them and made their faces pale and shrieked in unison. Cried.
As if stimulated by the screams of the two girls, the masked man immediately regarded them as prey, and as soon as his figure flashed, he attacked them.
"Stop it!" Ulysses rushed to the masked man frantically with power from nowhere. At this time, his training this week has produced results, and he actually caught up with the lightning speed of the masked man. But the difference in strength between the two sides was cruel. The masked man directly knocked Ulysses into flight, slamming him into a wall beside the street.
"Ah!" A miserable scream resounded across the street, and the woman named Lis desperately hugged the little noble girl and turned her back to the attacking murderer. She wanted to use her weak body to protect the little girl who had been stunned! But what she didn't expect was that the murderer's knife was so sharp, so sharp that it directly pierced her body and then pierced into the chest of the little girl in her arms. She was not screaming because of her impending death, but because she had failed to protect the little girl in her arms.
However, the murderer would not pay attention to her screams at all. After the short knife flashed, she was divided into fragments, and the little girl in her arms was also cut with a few shocking big cuts in her chest by the knife. The blood flowed frantically from her little chest.
Unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable. Ulysses had never hated a person so much. It's not that he hasn't seen people die in front of him. When doing mercenary missions in the past, more than a dozen people were torn to pieces by monsters in front of him, not to mention the hundreds of mercenaries he killed when he besieged the masked man just now. But those who died were all powerful warriors or wizards. As the leader of the Gale Group said, as a mercenary, life and death are common things, and they don't need anyone's sympathy. As early as when they chose to become a mercenary, they already had the consciousness of death. What's more, only between life and death, their power can be maximized, so that they become stronger. This is also the reason why many strong people choose the profession of mercenary. So Ulysses didn't feel much about them dying in front of him.
However, these two girls are different. They are just weak girls without force. Unlike the mercenaries who are often born and die, they should be beautiful clothes and beautiful gardens, rather than being killed by murderers on the streets in the middle of the night. The woman named Lis who was dismembered to protect the little noble girl made Ulysses blame herself infinitely. Only then did he really mean what the news that more than a hundred civilians had died in the hands of murderers was written on the reward order.
Strength, I want strength. Ulysses has never been crazily longing for power like this moment. If he had the power to stop murderers just now, these two girls who should have a bright future would not have died tragically under the knife of the masked man.
"Aya! Come out!" Now, Ulysses can't care about anything, and now he has only one thought in his mind-he wants to eliminate this murderer completely.
A purple light flashed, and Aya appeared in the air.
"Master..." Aya wanted to say something to Ulysses, but Ulysses interrupted her unceremoniously:
"I want strength, any kind of strength is fine! I want the power that can defeat this murderer."
"Master, you are so excited. Now if you want to defeat this guy, you can only borrow the dark power in the Book of the Demon King. I advise you to retreat first! With me, it is not difficult for you to leave here. That murderer Just leave it to others to deal with." Aya tried to persuade Ulysses.
"No, I'm very clear! I also know that if I use the dark power in the Book of Demon Kings, I am afraid I will not be able to become a priest again. But I can't let this murderer go, if I escape today with your help Now, I won’t have the qualifications to be a respected priest in my life. If I want to be a respected priest, how can I let this murderer kill innocent people. This is because I saw the one named Liss I found out when the woman died to protect the little girl. So, Aya, this is an order to give me strength, no matter what it is, and what side effects it has.” Ulysses said calmly.
"Yes! Master!" Aiya reluctantly agreed to Ulysses' request.
"In the name of the Book Demon Aya! The magic sword sleeping in the abyss! Awaken with the witness of the contract! Come on! The abyss is convicted! Come in the hands of my lord!" Following Aya’s spell, a handful The weird red and black giant sword appeared in Ulysses's hands.
