Heart of the Castle

Chapter 173 The Grip of Withered Hope
Wilps' words made all the knights vigilant, one after another the gleaming long swords were unsheathed, and the narrow stairs were filled with colorful fighting spirit light.Everyone is very clear about what the undead magic that appears here means.

According to the soldiers guarding the tower, only three people have climbed the tower since this morning.One of them was the viscount's trusted servant who rushed up after receiving the news, and the other two were Viscount Ryan himself and the old housekeeper Trien.

According to Dragonson and others, this old housekeeper happened to be a suspicious object of using undead magic.

"Your Excellency, the Viscount is in danger!" Sir Lidwan blurted out.

"Then what are we waiting for?" The swordsmanship instructor Golei Joy was dressed the most lightly. Known for his fierce swordsmanship, he did not wear a heavy metal armor like other knights. Apart from the silver wristers used to block attacks, he was not wearing any armor.

Gory Joy's steps were as fast as lightning, skimming lightly on the decaying stairs that seemed to be scorched by fire, and rushed towards the top of the tower like a gust of wind.However, just as his figure disappeared from everyone's eyes, an extremely shrill cry erupted from above, followed by the sound of cracking wood and a more desperate scream.

"Father!"

The scream swayed across the air, and then there was a terrible crash, the knights looked at each other, most of them were experienced killing experts, of course it could be heard that the poor guy came from Falling from the tower, there is no hope of surviving.

"...It's Your Excellency the Viscount!"

Wilps said hoarsely, with a sharp light shining in his eyes.

Immediately after that, from the top of the tower, there came Gory Joy's shouts of shock and anger, and then the swishing sound of waving a long sword and the eerie laughter sounded at the same time.Gao Lei Joy's swordsmanship has always been known as the "Wind Dancer". The dense and fierce continuous slaying can make all opponents below the high-level knight overwhelmed, and even the opponents above the high-level knight can only rely on it. Win with a fighting spirit stronger than him.

At least the Grand Knight Commander Wilpus, who is known as a genius, knows in his heart that if he simply competes in swordsmanship, the storm-like swordsmanship of the wind dancer Golei Joy can definitely suppress him.

However, this time, the person who was forced to back again and again turned out to be Gao Lei Joy!
The swordsmanship instructor's opponent looked very strange, with purple-blue skin, white hair and fiery red eyes, there was an evil smell that was about to come out.This guy is tall, although his hands are empty and he doesn't look like he has any weapons, but every time he swings his arms, there will be a shrill air burst.The long sword in Gao Lei Joy's hand slashed at the guy's arm, and the clanging sound was like metal colliding with each other!

Although Gao Lei Joy's saber is not a magical weapon, but as the swordsmanship instructor of Viscount Castle, the wind dancer's saber can be regarded as quite sharp.It seems that the guy's arm is probably harder than ordinary steel, and it is infinitely powerful. Every time Golei Joy collided with his arm, he would reluctantly take a small step back, and he was crushed by the sight. Back from the stairs.

"Gory Joy, who is this guy? How is Your Excellency the Viscount?" Wilps asked loudly, raising the long sword in his hand, and the red fighting spirit on his body burned like a flame.

The wind dancer attacked several times in a row, then rolled back like a gust of wind, and retreated to Wilpus' side. "Your Excellency the Viscount just fell to his death from the tower, may the Father be merciful to him." Gao Lei Joy said, he handed the saber to the other hand, and then gently moved the right hand holding the sword.

"May Father God be merciful to him..." Hearing the miserable cry just now, although everyone had already expected the ending of Viscount Ryan, they still agreed when they got the exact situation from Gory Joy. uttered a prayer.

"What's wrong with your hand?" Wilps couldn't help asking strangely when he saw the wind dancer clasping the five fingers of his right hand with a slightly painful expression on his face.

"That guy's strength is really terrifying. Every time I take the initiative to attack, but the force of the shock makes my arms numb." Gao Lei Joy frowned and shook his head.

"Then, let me solve it." Wilps said, looking up coldly, and then shouted at the blue-purple weirdo.

"My Lord of Glory, you evil monster, let me, Wilps, take your life!"

"Hey hey hey..." The strange man let out a deep and creepy laugh, and the blood in his eyes became more intense. "Master Wilps, my life is here, so please come up and get it."

Wilps' eyes froze. He didn't expect that strange-looking weirdo to be able to call out his name in one gulp.The great knight commander's heart moved, and he suddenly noticed the familiar strips of cloth left on the strange man's naked and strong body.

"Trian?" Wilps blurted out in shock, and the strange man heard the surprise in the long speech of the great knight, and immediately opened his hands, letting out a piercing laugh.

"That's right, I'm Trion! Lord Wilps, and all the knights, haven't you always looked down on me, a weak old steward? Now let you take a look, the great Sleeper Ku Shizuo, grant me strength!"

The expressions of the knights were all gloomy. Although Ku Ximo, the Eternal Sleeper, was not an evil deity that was forbidden to believe in, there were indeed many heinous people among the believers of the God of Death.The aura on Butler Trien's body was gloomy and mysterious, with a frightening smell of blood, especially the bloody light that flickered endlessly in those eyes, which could attract people's souls into the deep and dull The feeling of the dark abyss.

"Be careful, he should be a succesful!" Sir Lidwan warned the people around loudly, his words caused a small commotion among the knights, some knights moved their steps restlessly, and the armor on their bodies made the sound of clashing.

The vicious reputation of accusing the dead does have a terrifying power that can frighten ordinary people, even weaker knights can't help but feel intimidated.

A faint light flashed in Li Wei's eyes, and then he couldn't help squinting his eyes. The scene in the field of vision of the exploration technique made him feel a slight chill in his heart.A huge and pale phantom appeared on the body of the weird man who called himself Trien. This thing didn't have any characteristics of natural life, just like a bad sculptor kneaded dozens of human figures indiscriminately, forming a shape that can only be seen. Scary monsters that can only be seen in nightmares.

The appearance of this monster is like a gigantic amoeba. Dozens of human faces and hands and feet that are several times the number of faces appear on the body surface. The most terrifying thing is that these faces still seem to be preserved. With a certain consciousness, his expression was distorted and painful, his eyes turned white, his mouth opened and closed, and he let out an indistinct wailing sound while dripping black rotting blood.Those hands and feet are also constantly struggling, as if the people inside are not dead yet.

A strong sense of nausea hit Li Wei's brain, and the young man's face suddenly turned pale, and a low moan involuntarily came out of his mouth.

"Master Li Wei, are you feeling well?" Tang Na asked in a low voice worried.

Li Wei shook his head, temporarily shaking the nausea out of his mind, and when he was about to speak, Wilps' cold voice came from his ear.

"It's just a blood-sucking derivative, Trien, is this what you got when you gave up the glory of being a human and plunged into darkness?"
