Bang!
Before Bach could take a step forward, he suddenly heard an ear-piercing gunshot from the seemingly small and dilapidated courtyard.
"Ah! You actually have a gun? You brat, you dare to resist?! Catch her! "
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The door of the courtyard was half-open, allowing the people on the street to vaguely see what was happening inside.
A fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl with short icy-blue hair who looked like a tomboy suddenly attacked the soldiers who caught her with a flintlock.
He quickly pulled out the shiny dagger hidden at his waist. Like an enraged wolf cub, he swung his dagger at the unreasonable soldiers. His sharp teeth were mixed with the cold wind.
[Frost Wolf Swordsmanship]
Taking advantage of the group of soldiers who were dodging in a flurry, she easily rushed out of the encirclement.
Furthermore, despite her young age, the tomboy clearly knew her limits.
She knew that even if she was lucky enough to escape, she would definitely not be able to defeat a group of fully-armored soldiers armed with guns. Thus, she immediately ran out of the door.
But it was also at this moment that he bumped into the thin tax official who was about to check the "golden compass". He looked a little weak on the surface.
The tomboy did not see him as a threat and was about to dodge with light footsteps.
But she did not expect the tax officer to stare at her with a cold smile. The smell of sulfur on his body intensified as he reached out to grab her.
"Hmph, where do you think you are going?"
The tomboy instinctively raised her dagger and swung it back.
Clang!
But the well-made dagger passed down in her family made a metallic sound when it hit the other party's wrist. She almost lost her grip on the dagger and it flew out of her hand.
Just as the tomboy, who had the rank of a trainee Knight, was slightly stunned, the tax officer had already caught her hands behind her back and easily took her down.
A group of angry soldiers chased after her at this moment. The captain who had previously condemned her was flustered and exasperated as he kicked her hard.
"Originally, we only suspected you of stealing the Marquis' belongings. Now, you dare to secretly possess a gun, a dagger, and this unknown [Frost Wolf Swordsmanship]. You are clearly preparing to rebel against the Marquis' rule.
It seems that only 'God' can let you know what is reverence. It just so happens that there aren't enough 'Saintesses' to serve God. Come, send her to the Marquis' mansion. "
"No —! I'm not going! Those chosen to be Saintesses and Saints never returned.
The Bach family is a registered adventurer family. My ancestors risked their lives for the king. You can't do this to me! "
He didn't have much of a reaction even after being kicked.
But when she heard his arrangement for her, especially the word "Saintess".
The girl, who had already accepted reality and given up on resisting, revealed a look of horror on her face. She struggled with all her might once again.
If there were neighbors on the street who were indignant about the actions of these soldiers before, at this time, everyone was as silent as cicadas in winter, hiding in their own houses and not daring to make a sound.
They were afraid that the so-called "Saintess", "Holy Son", and other titles that seemed honorable on the surface but were actually fatal would fall on their heads.
Clearly, in this city that was still ruled by great nobles, for some unknown reason, the responsibility of the residents was far from as simple as paying taxes.
In the blink of an eye, not a single resident dared to stay on the street. The constantly struggling tomboy was about to be forcefully taken away by the wildly laughing soldiers.
Bach sighed faintly.
"This trip to the Source Continent seems to have suddenly become a little troublesome."
His mission was to retrieve the "Golden Compass" that belonged to the Bach family from the small family that his father came from.
According to the information that had been sent back, the Bach family was already in dire straits. It should not be difficult to obtain the compass from the descendants of the family.
However, he did not expect that even the ruler of this dilapidated place was so rotten.
However, even if he disregarded the fact that this tomboy was related to him by blood, he still had to complete the mission that his teacher had given him.
He stepped forward without hesitation and blocked the path of this group of people.
"Hm? You … "
While the group of people were still in a daze, Bach slightly released the majestic "life force field" on his body. He lightly stomped his feet and suddenly disappeared in a flash of lightning.
"Rumble!"
When he reappeared, he was already behind this group of people.
He also had the tightly bound tomboy in his hands, as well as the "God's Gift, Golden Compass" that he had confiscated as ordinary gold.
This was the social instinct that Bach had left behind when he was living alone in the wilderness. If he wanted to make other creatures obey his will, he had to display a deterrent force that would make them despair. Words were a complete waste of time.
"A Great Knight?"
The group of soldiers who only knew how to bully the weak and fear the strong were shocked and quickly retreated.
That's right. The current Bach had successfully advanced to a Rank Three [Branded Swordsman] under the continuous nourishment of the [Fruit Essence], [Spiritual Origin], and [Cleansing Holy Pond Water].
The vigorous life force field in his body was like raging flames and lightning. Even an ordinary person could clearly feel it and would not have the slightest thought of resisting.
"Bam —!"
Perhaps it was because he had met a Rank Three Extraordinaire who could be called a "big shot" in his own territory.
While he was shocked, the captain of the soldiers had already instinctively taken out the highest level of warning signal and shot it into the sky.
Following which, a long bright yellow trail soared into the sky.
"Xiu!"
In the direction of the city center not too far away, an extremely majestic blood-red stream of light with a strong sulfuric smell flew over.
"Who dares to cause trouble in Uppsala?!"
Because of the highest level of warning signal of an intruder, they did not hesitate to rush towards Bach who was as conspicuous as a bonfire.
"The Knight Captain is here!"
"It's the strongest person in the Marquis territory, Lord Morgan!"
Bach screamed and waved his hand to break the rope on the tomboy's body. He threw her onto the roof beside him and pulled out the [Thunder Tooth] that he obtained from Elvin at his waist.
Regardless of whether it was the Atlans or the Koyak people, they all lived in a world of ice and snow. The harsh environment gave them the tenacity that was rooted in their blood, and all of this was passed down to Bach.
Even if he had just advanced not long ago, he was not afraid of strong enemies.
Xiu! Xiu! Xiu! …
A flash of lightning and a blood-red light flashed non-stop like ghosts.
The two of them did not give in to each other, and the long swords in their hands turned into a storm. The sharp whistling sound that made one's scalp numb filled the nearby streets.
Bach had [Divine Might] on him, and with his outstanding talent, he was able to use [Profound – Instant Flash] and [Profound – Mercury Thunder] at his fingertips.
This [Rapid Thunder Swordsmanship] was more majestic in the hands of Elvin, but in the hands of Bach, the second [Branded Swordsman] in the world, it was tyrannical and ruthless.
It was the same as when the mixed-blood youth lived alone on a deserted island with the lamprey. It was the direct ruthlessness of fighting against nature, where the strong preyed on the weak!
However, this balance did not last for long.
After realizing that the opponent's form of power was very unfamiliar, and the Thunder Element Extraordinary was not weak, Morgan, who was known as the Knight Captain, suddenly revealed his trump card.
"Ha!"
The Great Knight's heart beat violently, and a loud roar like that of a large steam engine came out from his body.
His body suddenly expanded by two times.
His granite-like muscles were cold and hard, and the pores on his body even spewed out hot white steam. It was as if this was not a human body, but a terrifying muscle armor.
[Bloodline Ability: Mana Liberation]
Boom —!
With a swing of the sword, half of the street was cut into two, and smoke and snow rose into the sky.
Obviously, this was also a devil, and he was a superior devil who had been promoted to level three for a long time.
Lightning flashed under his feet, and after dodging the attack by a hair's breadth, a drop of cold sweat quietly slid down from Bach's forehead.
Chi —!
White gas continued to spurt out.
Seeing the Knight Captain who was gradually turning into a non-human, trying to suppress the madness in his heart, he raised the sword in his hand and walked over step by step.
After swallowing hard, Bach suddenly realized that sometimes, words were more useful than force.
"Wait a minute, I have no ill intentions towards this city!"
Tap … tap … tap …
"I'm from the Bach family, and I have a deep relationship with Atlan."
Tap … tap … tap …
"I just want to leave with the descendants and inheritance of the Bach family. Isn't it good to give the honor of being the Saintess to someone else?"
Tap … tap … tap …
Seeing that the other party was not moved at all.
Bach realized that after the other party revealed his devil form, his mind was probably filled with the desire to kill, and he wanted to directly erase himself, an outsider who had seen that form.
Letting out a deep breath, Bach made a pause gesture with his hands and solemnly said,
"My teacher is Grand Duke Garriott, His Majesty Saint Elvin. Can you give my teacher some face?"
Tap!
Morgan, whose body was surrounded by steam and his eyes were red, suddenly stopped in his tracks, and his eyes immediately became much clearer.
Bach took out the Garriott family's "Thorned Sea Snake Coat of Arms" and waved it in front of him.
I'll show my cards and stop pretending.
The [Divine Creature] Elvin, although weak, had an extremely high level aura. It was like a basin of cold water poured over Morgan's head, and it also completely woke him up.
"Garriott … Your Majesty."
After humanity took over, the Grand Knight's eyes were sometimes filled with doubt, and sometimes with a murderous glint. It was obvious that silencing him was not an option.
After a long time, he said with an extremely hoarse voice as if he was talking to himself.
"Oh, that honorable lord is not here …"
Until now, he was still trying to maintain the dignity of a powerful Extraordinary, especially in front of a group of subordinates.
"Oh, that's right. What a pity. When the time comes, I'll let my teacher find you personally."
Bach said as he pointed to the sky.
A huge bird-shaped figure flashed by. It was a spiritualized seagull that was connected to the [Mental Network] at all times.
Whoosh —!
Steam spewed out, and the semi-demonized Knight had returned to his human form.
This kind of cautious guy who kept a "battle recorder" on at all times was really annoying.
"Hmph, you can take the person and the thing away."
"Thank you, Your Excellency."
In a flash, Bach and the tomboy's figure disappeared.
"Sir, are we just going to let them go so easily?"
"Hmm? Send him to the Marquis Mansion to be the 'Holy Son'. "
"Sir, don't —!"
.....
At this time, in the depths of the Marquis Mansion, in a dark underground secret room.
Trickle …
A river of blood flowed quietly around the stone altar.
"'Lord of the Bramble Forest', 'God of the Wilderness', 'Cunning Hunter', 'Wise Sage', Cathy Morar …"
A faint buzzing sound reverberated in this dark space.
The only source of light was a beautiful girl with long red hair lying quietly on the altar.
The barefooted girl wore a luxurious red silk robe with golden threads. Her slender hands were folded on her lower abdomen, and her eyes were closed as if she was in a deep sleep. She looked more like she was already dead.
On her left was a pair of eagle wings, and on her right was the fur of a huge black dog.
On top of her head was a magic book, "Raymond Geddon's Book" that was constantly emitting blood light.
At the periphery of this ominous light, a circle of black-robed figures stood quietly, praying to the girl in unison.
Any esoteric scholar would be able to tell that this was an extremely evil ritual.
The target was Archduchess Cassie Morar, one of the seventy-two Demon Gods in the lower realm. The beautiful girl was just a vessel.
Although there were no true gods among the seventy-two Demon Gods in the lower realm, they were at least divine beings who had obtained the corresponding authority of the lower realm.
From high to low, there were Dark Prince, Grand Duke, Cabinet Minister, General, King, Duke, Marquis, Count, Noble Son, Devil, and Demonic Servant.
Archduchess Cassie Morar was a powerful existence that was ranked 25th among them.
She had many nicknames, such as Gulasha, Gulachia Rapola, Kater Krynoras, and so on.
She would always appear in front of the summoner in the form of a black dog with huge wings.
Other than her hobby of hunting intelligent beings, Cassie Morar would impart a wealth of knowledge, especially scientific knowledge, to the summoner. Other than that, she could also give humans the ability to become invisible, hunt, and so on.
At this moment.
The sound of prayer suddenly became louder.
Psst —!
On the altar, the eyes of the "girl" suddenly cracked open, revealing a terrifying blood light that resembled that of a man-eating demon.
"Am I … the first to successfully descend into the material world?"
