After picking up the sword, the Horse-Faced Monster seemed to have regained its senses, and its fighting style was different from before.
If the Horse-Faced Monster's fighting style at the beginning was that of a pure beast, it now looked more like a knight.
"Swish —!"
The greatsword shining with a green glow streaked across the air and collided heavily with the pitch-black sword in Fangzheng's hand. Fangzheng rolled back and jumped away. At the same time, the Horse-Faced Monster raised its greatsword again and slashed at Fangzheng. Soon, streaks of green sword aura erupted from the greatsword and shot at Fangzheng.
Facing the sword aura from the Horse-Faced Monster, Fangzheng held the silver short sword in his left hand in a reverse grip and swung it forward!
The silver-white dagger streaked across the air and collided with the green Sword Qi. With a "bang" sound, the green Sword Qi burst like a balloon. Fangzheng took the opportunity to close the distance between him and the horse-faced monster with a roll. Then, he thrust his sword forward and hit the horse-faced monster's body.
"— —!"
But the Horse-Faced Monster, who was hit by Fangzheng's attack, didn't retreat. Instead, it charged forward, raised the greatsword in its hand, and stabbed at Fangzheng. Upon seeing this scene, Fangzheng hurriedly retracted his sword and rolled on the ground, once again distancing himself from the horse-faced monster.
"Boom!!"
The greatsword shining with a green glow brushed past Fangzheng's shoulder and stabbed into the ground. A series of brilliance erupted from the ground and spread out like a bomb explosion.
"Let's see, we have to seize this opportunity to fight. Otherwise, you're likely to be killed by his combo. We're not the Undead Squad, we don't have that kind of ability …"
At the same time, the chattering Big Chin ran over from the side. He swung his right hand, and the sword in his hand quickly turned into a chain sword and whipped the Horse-Faced Monster's body. After two lashes, Big Chin quickly dodged to the other side.
But this time, Horse-Face didn't seem to care about what Big Chin did to him. He rearranged his body and stared at Fangzheng. Then, he raised the sword in his hand and urged the four horse legs beneath him to gallop towards Fangzheng. And against the horse-faced monster that was charging at him, Fangzheng gripped his weapon tightly as he carefully observed its actions.
In Fangzheng's eyes, the horse-faced monster had changed from its previous bloodthirsty appearance to a centaur charging at its enemy. The dazzling greatsword in its hand drew a bright trail in the dark air, slanted to the right, and slashed down at Fangzheng!
Over here!
At the same time the horse-faced monster launched its attack, Fangzheng immediately rolled to the side, nearly brushing past the sweeping sword to land beside the horse-faced monster. But this time, the Horse-Faced monster was not as distracted as before. After missing its first attack, it immediately turned around and slashed at Fangzheng with its greatsword again.
As for Fangzheng, he immediately leaped backward to dodge. At the same time, he crossed his swords in front of him.
Clang!!
The falling greatsword collided with the crossed swords in Fangzheng's hands. With a violent impact, Fangzheng quickly flew back, then rolled and stood firmly on the ground. When he raised his head again, he saw that the Horse-Faced monster in the distance had already raised the greatsword in its hand in his direction. A dazzling light burst out from the greatsword.
"Let's take advantage of the fact that the monster is about to unleash a big move. Let's take this opportunity to attack it, then run away …."
A pressure appeared in the air. Even if Fangzheng did not know what it was, he could guess that the Horse-Faced monster was preparing to unleash a big move!
The big-chinned monster took this opportunity to run back to the Horse-Faced monster's side. He slashed at the Horse-Faced monster a few times, then quickly turned around and ran away ….
At the same time, the Horse-Faced monster swung the greatsword in his hand at Fangzheng!
"— — — —!"
The azure-green light transformed into a torrent that surged towards Fangzheng!
"Look, the monster is going to unleash a big move. It's over, it's over. I think the Undead Squad is going to kneel!"
Kneel my ass!
Fangzheng rolled his eyes as he listened to the chattering of the big-chinned monster. If the Horse-Faced monster could use curry sticks, was his sword just for decoration?
Fangzheng tightened his grip on the 'Sword of Severing the Truth' in his right hand. Black lightning erupted from the blade. Fangzheng gripped the black greatsword tightly and swung it forward! Along with Fangzheng's movement, the dancing lightning on the blade surged out, condensed, and blasted forward.
This was the special inherent skill of the 'Sword of Severing the Truth' — — Lightning Summon!
Boom!!
Black lightning burst forth from the greatsword and collided with the green light that was coming at them. For a time, the shockwaves spread in all directions, and even the ground cracked. The half-dead Living Dead in the surroundings were directly hit by the black lightning and green sword light that erupted in all directions. They screamed miserably and turned into mutilated corpses.
"What's this? What's this? What did I see? "
Looking at this scene, the man with the big chin exclaimed in surprise.
"Did the Undead Squad release Soul Torrent? No, what's this? I'm afraid I'm looking at a fake Undead Squad! "
Fangzheng wasn't in the mood to ridicule the big-chinned monster. He clenched the greatsword in his hand and sprinted forward as the Lightning Summon disappeared, then leaped into the air.
The Horse-Faced Monster seemed to have temporarily lost its strength due to the previous move!
This is my best chance!
Aiming at the monster, Fangzheng swung his sword without hesitation!
"Pfft …!"
Blood splattered.
When Fangzheng landed on the ground again, behind him was a headless corpse that was spraying blood. The Horse-Faced Monster's head spun a few times in the air, then fell to the ground with a thud. After losing its head, the Horse-Faced Monster's huge body collapsed and quickly melted into a pool of thick blood.
"Phew …."
Fangzheng heaved a sigh of relief. He stood up, sheathed his sword, and walked up to the Horse-Faced Monster's head. The head was still alive and full of vitality.
He blinked when he saw Fangzheng walking over.
"Good hunter, have you ever seen a glimmer of light? It's so subtle, so fleeting, but I don't want to let it go, even though I'm already immersed in the stench of blood and monsters …. "
The Horse-Faced Monster looked at the greatsword that was emitting a gentle glow not far away. A trace of nostalgia and regret emerged in his eyes.
"I never wanted to know the true face of that light, not even once. Hahaha … Hahaha … Ahhhh …!! "
The Horse-Faced Monster suddenly let out a sound that sounded like he was crying and laughing at the same time.
"Was what I insisted on, what I stood for, what I believed in, all wrong? I used to think I was fighting for justice and truth, but that's not the case. Those who condemned me were right. I'm a fallen man controlled by bestiality …. "
"Everyone has to pay for what they've done."
Fangzheng stared at the Horse-Faced Monster in front of him. He did not know what had happened to the Horse-Faced Monster, but he could hear the deep regret and sorrow in the Horse-Faced Monster's tone.
"And you've paid the price. Look at you now. You don't need to atone for your sins anymore, because you've already received your punishment."
"Yes …."
A trace of peace appeared in the Horse-Faced Monster's eyes when he heard this.
"I've received my punishment … Thank you, good hunter …. Now, everything for me is over …. I'll fall into an eternal sleep …. Now, I can bravely face the sins I've committed. I used to think that the slander and insults were just one-sided words, but now it seems that they were the retribution I deserved …. I used to think that the Church was righteous, and that they would eventually protect the truth. But … that's not the case …. Go, hunter, end my nightmare and move on. If I'm not wrong, what's hidden inside is the cure for the Church's greatest sin …. "
Fangzheng raised the greatsword in his hand and aimed it at the Horse-Faced Monster's head.
"It's fate that I was able to talk to you for a while. If you don't mind, tell me your name. I'll engrave it on the tombstone."
"…."
The Horse-Faced Monster opened his eyes again when he heard Fangzheng's words. He stared at Fangzheng for a while before speaking in a low voice.
"Ludwig …. My name is …. Ludwig …."
"Not a bad name, but you look a little ugly. Don't be discouraged. You'll become a handsome guy like me in your next life. "
