Those Ancient Things

When he rushed towards the hideous monster with his long sword, Gawain no longer felt nervous, hesitated. If he had to say something, it would be just a trance and unreality.

He clearly remembered the moment of his plane crash.

He also remembered the hundreds of thousands of years that he was hanging in the sky in this world.

He has not yet adapted well to the identity of Gawain Cecil.

However, at this moment, he gripped an ancient family long sword and rushed to a strange monster that didn't know whether it was a demon or an undead.

Bang!

A tremendous impact came from the blade, and all the distracting thoughts in his mind instantly disappeared.

With an almost instinctive reaction, he avoided the monster's sweeping claws. Gawain evaded his upper body in a small half circle. The swaying blade slashed a stream of light in the air and slashed fiercely towards the monster's shoulder. While slashing with the blade, he tried to mobilize the power in this body and direct that power to the long sword in his hand.

The faint red light at the root of the blade burst into bright red light under the stimulation of power and spread rapidly along the blade like a flame. Under the scorching heat, even the surrounding air was distorted.

The three-meter-tall monster felt the threat from the blade's high temperature and suddenly leaned back with an agility that was completely inconsistent with its enormous size. As a result, Gawain's slash fell by so little.

For the first time to releasing the magic with his own hands like the supernatural power, Gawain inevitably has a moment of excitement in his heart. It is probably the moment of feeling that made him cannot grasp the first attack, but soon he adjusted his mind and gushed his strength to the long sword again.

The skills and knowledge from Gawain Cecil in the memory are indeed handy. This body has not yet degraded to the point where it can't exert power at all. Although I don't know how much strength I can wield, still is at this moment. A lot of reliance has been added.

He immersed himself in the battle and tried to convert the combat experience in his mind that was not his own into the power he could use as quickly as possible.

On the other side, Byron was already in a tough fight.

This mid-level knight is regarded as one of the best masters of Cecil. His combat career before serving the Cecil family has also allowed him to accumulate extraordinary combat experience.

However, he has consumed too much energy when the monsters attacked the castle before. Besides being corroded by the monster's weird magic power, the hidden wounds in his body further reduced his combat effectiveness, which made the knight's 100% combat effectiveness only 40-50%.

At this moment, facing the monster's continuous onslaught, he could only hold the long sword and try to maintain his situation, while saving his energy as much as possible and trying to find the flaws of his opponent.

Rebecca gathered her magical powers, and a head-sized ball of fire flew out from the front of the staff, and crashed with the arrow of the magic-casting monster in the air, causing an earth-shattering explosion.

Then she took a breath and immediately Noticing the dangerous situation on Byron's side, she immediately shouted to the soldiers beside her: "You three, help Byron!"

A soldier hesitated: "But Lord Lord..."

Rebecca urged them while condensing a new fireball: "We are fine for the time being-but if Byron falls, it will be over! I am ordering you to go as a lord!"

The three soldiers can only accept their orders and fight the terrible monster along with the Byron Knight.

Gao Wen was gradually immersed in the battle. The memories and experiences in his mind that did not belong to him were quickly transformed into his own things, as he improved his ability to control his new body, this process brought him full achievement, when he woke up slightly from this immersive state, he found that the monster in front of him already been crushed and beaten by himself.

The deformed body that is surging with "sludge" is not invulnerable. It will still be injured if it is chopped, and it will die if it is sliced. Although they are powerful and have physical advantages, as long as they master the method of confrontation, humans can still destroy them.

This is the experience left over 700 years ago.

The monster's claws swept over his head, and Gawain was ducked short, thrusting his sword into the opponent's thigh with his backhand. The latter finally let out a muddy roar, and its body tilted to the side uncontrollably while taking advantage of this opportunity, Gawain shouted to Byron: "Try to attack their abdomen and lower limbs, leave their chests alone, these guys have no heart!"

Then he took the lead of his opponent's loss of balance, twisted around to the side and the back of the opponent, raised his sword to stab the monster's back waist: "Except for the abdominal cavity, their other weaknesses are behind and The back waist!"

Listening to the instructions from the ancestors of the Cecil family, Byron immediately raised his spirits. With the cooperation of the three soldiers, he quickly restrained the monster's actions, and at the cost of his shoulder armor being penetrated by sharp claws, He Directly drilled under the opponent's crotch, turned back, and hit the vulnerable spot with the sword.

And one second before Byron solved the enemy, the monster in front of Gawain also flopped.

After solving the enemy, Gawain immediately raised his head and looked at the monster in the distance that was blasting with Shadow Bolt and Rebecca's fireball, but just as he was about to rush to the front, the monster suddenly let out a scream Screamed, then fell convulsively.

Amber's figure appeared behind the monster, spinning a poisoned steel dagger in each hand: "Poke the chrysanthemum, I am good at it."

Rebecca put down the staff, her cheeks were slightly pale because of the continuous casting, she took a few breaths to calm her breath, and then solemnly corrected: "The ancestor said that the waist is not the chrysanthemum."

Amber quickly rotated the dagger in her hand twice, and she didn't know where the dagger was hidden by her. She stepped over the monster's corpse, and curled her lips as she walked over: "Cut, there is no sense of humor at all."

After the monsters died, they disintegrated quickly. The surging mud-like substance on their bodies first stopped flowing, and then gradually dried up, hardened, and appeared many tiny cracks. With these abnormal changes, the "flesh and blood" degraded and fell off. They are turned into a huge, twisted blood-colored skeleton at an extremely fast speed.

Gawain stood next to the monster he killed, looking down at the process, as if to himself: "So these things attacked Cecil's collar..."

Heidi looked at him curiously: "Ancestor, do you know the origin of these monsters?"

Gao Wen had already shown a deep understanding of these monsters in the previous battles and even pointed out Byron how to fight against them, so naturally, he couldn't hide this, and he didn't want to hide it either.

"Staying here may encounter them. We should advance to the dark tunnel. There are things in the dark tunnel that suppress those monsters. They will not easily enter," Gao Wen said as he walked forward, "I will fill in the details on the road."

After entering the ancient underground tunnel and advancing for a while, Gao Wen broke his silence: "I dealt with them back then-in fact, we mainly dealt with those things back then. You should know the collapse of the Gondor Empire and the history of the second development, right?"

"Of course I know," Rebecca nodded immediately. This history can be said to be a compulsory course for her as a child of a nobleman. "Over 700 years ago, there was only one human kingdom in the Loren continent, and that was the Gondor Empire in the center of the continent. According to historical records, it was the most powerful empire on the mainland, and even the silver empire built by the elves in the southern part of the mainland did not dare to attack it.

At that age, a catastrophe called the dark Demon Tide was suddenly triggered. The outbreak point of the disaster was in the hinterland of the Gondor Empire. almost overnight, the capital and one-third of the Gondor Empire were swallowed up by the Demon Tide. And was broken down by the surging elemental power..."

"It wasn't overnight. This process lasted for almost a month-the court mages of Gondor can't do anything in front of the Demon Tide," Gawain interrupted and said, "But from the results, it's the same, you continue." then motioned to the other party to continue.

"Oh... oh," Rebecca blushed and said more cautiously as if she was checked by her parents. "After that, the magic wave in the hinterland of the Gondor Empire continued to spread around and eventually destroyed the entire country., This is the history of the collapse of the Gondor Empire."

After that, as the ethereal sea gradually calmed down, the power of the magic wave decreased, and the surviving Gondor people rebuilt their civilization. Because the central area of ​​the mainland has been eroded, it is no longer suitable for human survival, so they left the ruined empire under the leadership of a group of pioneers, and opened up in four directions, southeast, northwest. This is called the second development. Our ancestors are the most famous of the year. One of the pioneer knights."

"Well, your history is good," Gawain casually complimented. "You should have heard of it. Even though the Demon Tide is over, the ruins of the Gondor Empire are still occupied by many monsters born from the Demon Tide. Monsters are one of the greatest threats facing humanity during the second development."

Heidi opened her eyes wide: "You mean..."

"Yes, it was those things that fought us back then," Gao Wen sighed. "They were born from the demonic wave. They have a human-like outline, but they are definitely not human beings. After the collapse of the Gondor Empire, there were a lot of them. Monsters emerged from the ruined hinterland of the empire, spreading in all directions, chasing and killing the survivors."

"so the first half of the second development was not so much a journey of pioneering, but a journey of escape. And even afterward, we broke away from the wasteland of the empire and established a new kingdom on the edge of the continent. The monsters did not stop. They continued to flood from the wasteland of the empire, frequently attacking the defense line of the civilized world... For ten years, I have been dealing with them almost every day."

Rebecca opened her eyes wide, and seemed to have been deeply attracted by these ancient and legendary stories: "Ah, then the monsters no longer appeared ten years after Anzu established the country?"

Gawain smiled and stretched out his hand to stroke the girl's hair, showing a silly roe deer smile: "Silly boy, your ancestor died after that..."

Rebecca: "..."
