Heart of the Castle

Chapter 176 Killing and Escaping

Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief as the unbalanced living corpse fell to the sky, but then he felt something tightly grasping his ankle.The young man looked down, and suddenly felt that the blood in his whole body was about to freeze. The severed hand of the living corpse was crawling towards his leg, and the jet-black five fingers were frantically writhing, as if five fingers had grown out of it. Scary monster snake with head.

At the same time, Wilps also ran into trouble, losing the support of his left leg, the living corpse could only crawl on the ground, but still grabbed the long sword with his left hand, and entangled towards Wilps.For Wilps, fighting an enemy lying on the ground was obviously not suitable for this situation. The Grand Knight Commander's several slashes hit the ground several times, splashing bits and pieces of fire.

Li Wei thrust the sharp knight's sword into the palm of the black broken arm. Due to excessive force, the sharp sword tip scratched his ankle, and blood gushed out immediately.The fingers of the severed arm swung desperately, a bit like a dying struggle, which was actually the case. With Li Wei's roar, the silver-white vindictiveness poured into the black severed arm along the knight's sword After entering, the muscles and bones of the severed arm cracked, followed by a large amount of foul-smelling mist.

Li Wei coughed loudly and rushed out of the fog, almost knocking down the bewildered swordsmanship instructor Gao Lei Joy. After seeing the living corpse, the wind dancer seemed to be a different person, with courage and wisdom. His body and strength withered away from him, leaving a shell that knew nothing but trembling and praying desperately.

With a muffled grunt, Wilps staggered back a few steps, and on the side of his thigh, the armor showed cracked lines.The living corpse writhed on the ground, trying to get up, a large amount of black liquid was gushing out from his severed abdomen.

Wilps leaned on the ground with the long sword in his hand as a crutch, panting heavily.His courage and honor made him fear no enemy, but even Wilps found it extremely difficult to meet an opponent who was already dead but would never fall.

If this immortality is removed, the living corpse is actually no more than an opponent comparable to ordinary knights. Although its strength is much greater than that of Gufgail knights in life, it has lost the support of fighting spirit and moves. , the action seemed a bit clumsy.

Harsh laughter came from outside the window, and Li Wei looked up to follow the sound, and it was Trien's head with a distorted expression that caught his eyes!Two pitch-black bat wings protruded from both sides of the head, flapping constantly, allowing the head to float in the void outside the tower.

"The great Trien will not die, the great Trien will come back! Lucky ephemeral species, before Trien returns with the army of darkness, enjoy the few remaining lives you have left!"

After the ear-piercing laughter, Trien's head suddenly retracted his wings, and fell down like a black meteor, disappearing in front of everyone.Li Wei chased two steps forward, then stopped in a slump.

"If Sir Grace is here, I will definitely let you taste the taste of that silver fir longbow!" Levi muttered regretfully, then turned to Wilps and said, "My lord, if you don't object If so, let's see if the flame can deal with this corpse, shall we?"

Wilps took a step back, dodging the sword that the living corpse swept against the ground.From the original intention in his heart, Wilps certainly didn't want to damage the body of the attendant knight, but looking at the Goofgail who had been cut to pieces in front of him, but still stubbornly did not stop his activities, he finally had a difficult point. nodded.

"Okay, Li Wei, I can still hold on, you go to the tower and get the torch."

"You don't need to be so troublesome, Mr. Wilps, please step back." Li Wei said, his mental power touched the rune representing the fireball technique in his mind, and the crimson fireball was like a small sun , jumped out from his palm, hovering and spinning in front of him.

"This is, the bursting fireball?" Wilps saw Li Wei's actions from the corner of his eyes, and his movements immediately froze, almost being cut by the long sword of the living corpse.Fortunately, the Grand Knight Commander was very agile, and suddenly stepped back a few steps. The long sword of the living corpse only rubbed against his breastplate, adding an insignificant dent.

The knights including Ridvan, Dragoonsun, and Dickway were gathering around the spiral staircase of the tower, listening to the bursts of noisy voices from above. Anxiety was written on every knight's face.When Trien's strange laughter came, everyone's faces showed resentment, and when Wilps' swishing sword wind overwhelmed everything, everyone's faces seemed relaxed.

The knights just suffered from the various sounds from the top of the tower until three hurried figures appeared on the stairs.

"Run, I'm about to..."

Wilps grabbed Gory Joy's arm with one hand, and sprinted down the wooden steps, shouting at the top of his voice.But before he finished shouting, there was an earth-shattering roar from the top of the tower, and the entire spiral staircase trembled violently. The steps, which had been corroded by the magic of the undead to the point of being very fragile, immediately made a clear cracking sound.

This change immediately made every knight turn pale.

"Run, this staircase is about to collapse!"

Fortunately, the seemingly crumbling stairs finally stood up, only the steps that had been corroded by the magic of the undead did not hold on, and they smashed down with a lot of dust, making the knights who were desperately running downwards all ashamed .

After someone fell from the tower, the guards of the Viscount's Castle rushed over and gathered below to discuss, but due to the order that Viscount Ryan had given before, no one dared to climb up rashly.When they learned that more than a dozen knights had climbed the tower, they felt a little relieved out of their trust in these famous knights.

Just when some guards were about to leave, there was a loud noise from above, and everyone looked up in horror, just in time to see a fiery red light flashing from the top floor of the high tower, followed by several tongues of fire burst out from the window, accompanied by Countless tiny sparks and scorched black fragments fell.

Everyone who saw this scene screamed in surprise, and some even suspected that the tower would collapse in a violent explosion soon.The guards surrounding the tower spread out in horror. Not only did they feel the scorching air descending from the sky, but they also felt the entire tower trembling slightly.Fortunately, the main body of the tower is a solid stone building. Although the explosion blew off half of the top of the wooden tower, it did not really destroy the tower.

A series of iron armor clanging sounded, and the gate of the high tower was suddenly pushed open from the inside. A group of disheveled and embarrassed knights appeared in front of the shocked guards, including the talented Grand Knight Commander Wilpus.Due to the battle with the living corpse on the top of the tower, Wilps suffered several minor injuries, and looked much more embarrassed than other knights.

"Master Wilps, what's the matter with you?" A man who looked like a small captain among the castle guards yelled out in surprise.

"I'm fine, where is Master Sugard now?" Wilps asked slightly panting.

"The master is in the conference room..." The captain of the guard wanted to continue, but Wilps couldn't hold back his anxiety, so he waved his hand to stop the captain of the guard from continuing, and then led the knights in a hurry towards Head towards the conference room.

I have to say that the author of this book, Turtle Speed...
