Chapter 175 Under the Mist
Cobos strode out of the room.○
The first thing that caught the eye was the mist that was spreading quietly. They were getting stronger little by little. They surrounded the entire noble district from bottom to top. This made Covos frown, although he was still
I don't know what this means exactly, but from the current point of view, this doesn't look like a good thing.
He turned his head and looked down the mountain, and found that the entire civilian area and commercial area had been completely shrouded in mist. This made the old general jump slightly in his heart, and then he held down the hilt of the sword at his waist and turned his head towards the surroundings.
Looking around, the noble district was now shrouded in fog, and only the outlines of the buildings could be seen. The shouts of the nobles could be faintly heard in the distance, but the old general knew what they were calling without listening. Since the Golden City
There has never been such a heavy fog since it was built. If you think about it, you will know that it is definitely not a natural product.
Not only that, white snowflakes were slowly falling in the air. At first, the old general thought they were snowflakes, but later he discovered that they were more like white dust than snowflakes. They fell, covering the entire noble district.
Rendered in gray and white colors.
"Order everyone to be alert and be careful around you!"
Cobos immediately issued the order. Judging from the current situation, the mist was probably a precursor to the opponent's attack. For a moment, he even doubted whether the mist was poisonous gas, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.
.It really seems to be just an ordinary fog, it moves forward slowly and unswervingly, wrapping everything.
There is no doubt about the ability of the Golden Legion. As a garrison legion that protects nobles and high-level officials, they enjoy the best treatment and possess the most powerful strength. Shortly after Covos's order was issued, a horn was heard accompanying it.
As soon as the sound was heard, the elite soldiers of the Golden Legion quickly lined up and set off. They began to block the streets in accordance with regulations. They also told the frightened nobles to go home and stay. Although they were dissatisfied with the almost cold behavior of these soldiers, they are still stupid now.
The nobles also knew that the situation was not good, so they kept silent and just acted like cowards.
After arranging his defenses, Cobos came to the gate of the noble area again. What he didn't expect was that even Master Sharon appeared. Ever since he found that the portal could not be opened, this Master
He kept a grimace. But Cobos was not surprised by his behavior. Although he was a legendary mage, in fact, most of Sharon's abilities came from family inheritance and several adventures in his youth. His own mind was also firm.
Not going anywhere, otherwise a legendary mage wouldn’t have been seduced by Hughes’ gold and come here to work as a watchdog. Most of the legendary mage on the Klein continent are self-respecting people. They can do it for a few pieces of money.
Of course, you can't expect anything from the things you bought.
Cobos could even guess that Sharon came here to give him the euphemistically called "assistance". To put it bluntly, he expected himself to protect him. He was a pure classical mage, good at transformation spells. But for close combat, he couldn't.
I don't have much confidence anymore. If there really is a powerful demon-level being hidden underneath, then he will definitely not be able to stop the opponent.
"How's the situation?"
Sharon also noticed the strange look Cobos looked at him, but his thickness of skin was legendary, so he pretended not to see the trace of disdain in the old general's eyes. After all, he was a mage, and he could release spells leisurely from behind.
It's his job, and the enemy's situation is unknown now. Finding a legendary swordsman to be his bodyguard is the wisest choice. As for face--if he wanted face, he wouldn't have come here because of the temptation of gold.
"So far so peaceful."
Cobos stared at the stairs below and said calmly. The slope road in front of him is the only road connecting the aristocratic district and the commercial district. All goods destined for the aristocratic district will be transported from here. In turn, the enemy wants to attack.
It is definitely only possible to come in from here. As for other places, Cobos doesn't consider it at all. There are cliffs halfway up the hillside in the noble area, and it is simply a daydream for those undead creatures to climb up. Of course, it is not ruled out that they may
There are air units. But Cobos is confident that with his own power, he should be able to detect those guys.
Time passed minute by minute, but still nothing changed.
But even so, the soldiers of the Golden Legion did not relax their vigilance. The same goes for Cobos. They are all soldiers and can keenly feel the momentum of the coming storm...
"ah----!!"
Suddenly at this moment, a scream broke the silence, which shocked Cobos and Sharon. Then they looked at each other and quickly ran towards the place where the sound came from. They saw a noble building not far away.
In the mansion, a maid stumbled out. Her face was covered in blood, and she ran toward Cobos and the others with a frightened expression. She was waving her hands and shouting while running.
"Monster! Monster!!"
Monster? What monster?
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, but at this moment, everyone suddenly saw a black shadow suddenly appear in the mist behind the maid, and it rushed towards the maid in front of them like a cheetah.
And at this moment, the sword light flashed.
Cobos is also a legendary swordsman after all, so naturally he will not watch a person being killed in front of him. At the same time that the black shadow appeared, he had already drawn the long sword with his right hand and swung it forward.
The next moment, the sword light roared out like an icy cold wind, grazing the maid's body and hitting the black shadow hard. Then he saw the originally restrained sword energy burst out in an instant, and immediately
The black shadow split in two from the middle.
At this moment, the soldiers of the Golden Legion had surrounded them, wrapping the maid in them. Then they also saw the true form of the black shadow behind them, but at this moment, the faces of these soldiers seemed a little strange. They looked at each other, and then
A leading captain then turned around and came to Cobos's side and whispered.
"General, you should go over and have a look..."
Hearing the captain's words, the old general raised his eyebrows, and then he quickly came to the maid's side. Soon, he understood why the soldiers looked so strange.
Not far behind the maid, I saw two pieces of the lower body of a human female body falling. From the surface, they seemed to have been cut off at the waist - this is naturally the credit of Cobos, but
What is puzzling is that there is only the lower body here, but there is no shadow of the upper body.
Cobos only used one sword, and of course he knew what consequences he would have. But the weird thing in front of him also made him a little unsure, because it looked like the lower bodies of two women fused together.
The monster that was created, such a weird thing, was really unbelievable. So he quickly asked the soldiers to bring the maid over and ask her what happened.
The matter itself is actually very simple. Although they are locked up tightly, these nobles are also extremely worried. Naturally, many of them want to vent their emotions. This maid was also pulled to the bed by her master and planned to take care of herself.
He wanted to vent his fear for a while. But he didn't expect that just when he was about to execute the maid on the spot, the weird monster suddenly jumped out of the mirror and stretched out its two "legs" to kill him.
The master stabbed him twice. The maid was so frightened by this scene that she screamed and ran out of the room. Fortunately, she was lucky, otherwise she would have gone to hell with her master.
The romantic ghost is gone.
But what exactly is this?
The old general was older and would not be as embarrassed as those young people. He carefully studied the incisions on the corpse, but it was no different from ordinary humans. If the maid hadn't sworn that the monster was indeed like this
In this form, even Covos himself might wonder if he had slashed away two women with one sword.
"What's wrong? General Cobos?"
At this time, Master Sharon also hurried over, and was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him. But seeing his appearance, Cobos breathed a sigh of relief. Most mages are knowledgeable, and this guy may be able to see something.
Clues are coming.
"You came just in time, Master Sharon, let's see what kind of monster this is?"
"Monster? Isn't this a human being? General Cobos, you couldn't have killed some lady by mistake, right..."
But Master Sharon was not done yet.
Because at this moment, he saw that the corpse suddenly began to disappear. It was like a piece of wood burned by fire, turning into sparks and flying fragments, disappearing into the air. In the blink of an eye,
The strange corpse on the ground disappeared.
"this…………………"
Seeing this scene, Master Sharon was also stunned, but before he could say anything else, suddenly, a series of low bells rang.
"Dang...Dang...Dang..."
"What is this sound?"
"It's the December bell! It's the sound of the December bell!!"
The December Clock is the tallest clock tower in the Golden City. Before the fall of the city, this bell tower was responsible for telling the time for the entire city every day. But after the fall of the Golden City, the clock tower stopped ringing, and now
, the bell rings again, what does this mean?!!
"Dang...Dang...Dang..."
Along with the sound of the bell, the sky began to gradually become dim and dark. Everyone stared at the surroundings with vigilance and held the long sword in their hands. They didn't know what they were going to face, but they knew very well that the next step would be the most dangerous one.
It's important time.
"clang………………"
As the twelfth bell fell, boundless darkness completely enveloped everyone. (To be continued...)
