The longsword in Gabriel's hand moved, and a silver sword aura tore through the air, the sharp killing intent chilling to the bone.
As Emily cried out in alarm, Trunks and Gilbert had already leapt forward to block Gabriel. Trunks, who was riding on the manticore, had a cold and serious expression on his face as he raised the greatsword in his hand, forming a milky white circle of swords in front of him.
Gilbert held a dark spear in his hand. Since he didn't practice any martial arts techniques, he purely used the tough body of his dragon race to viciously throw out a spear.
The sound of metal clashing rang out as Trunks and the manticore dodged in panic with a muffled groan. Gilbert's spear had been broken into two, and his chest had been cut open by the sword aura, revealing a large piece of dark skin.
Great swordmaster Gabriel's expression was cold and sinister, and he was calm and composed after that strike. He wasn't in a hurry to immediately attack, but instead cast his gaze towards the room where Han Shuo and Little Skull were.
The howl of the bone dagger suddenly sounded at this moment as a small, dark bone dagger suddenly shot out from the direction Gabriel was looking at. The little skeleton's left eye, glowing with purple light, focused on Gabriel as the five white bone claws on its left hand waved continuously.
Trunks, who was still panting, and Gilbert, who was drenched in cold sweat, were both shocked by Gabriel's terrifying strength. It was just a simple strike, but Trunks had been attacked with the force of an avalanche, and could only dodge. As for the powerful Gilbert, because he didn't know how to use martial arts techniques, his spear had been cut in two by the silver fighting aura. If he hadn't dodged in time, his chest would have been injured by the fighting aura.
However, just as the two were having a headache over how to deal with Gabriel, Little Skull's assistance arrived just in time. A dark, dark bone blade forced Gabriel to treat it with caution.
The spell to control a demonic treasure was a secret technique unique to demonic arts practitioners. Gabriel had obviously been stunned by this miraculous attack, which was why he had given up on pursuing Gilbert and Trunks, and instead focused all his attention on dealing with Little Skull's bone dagger.
The silver sword gleam was dazzling, and under the starry sky, it was like fireworks exploding in the night sky. It formed a tight defense around Gabriel. The small bone daggers revolved around Gabriel's body, emitting sharp whistles as they danced around, attempting to deal a fatal blow to Gabriel.
"What are you guys standing there looking at? Attack immediately!" Andy suddenly shouted at this time.
The group of armored mercenaries who'd been dumbfounded by the little bone dagger's miraculous attacks were finally roused from their stupor by this shout. They either raised their bows and took aim, or raised their swords to circle around Gabriel and charge at Trunks and the others.
Andy and the thunder archmage on the rooftop saw the swordsmen and knights make their move and didn't remain idle either. They coordinated with these people and started attacking Emily and the others with magic.
In an instant, three blazing fireballs the size of millstones fell from the roof towards where Emily and the others were standing with violent, raging flames. A few bolts of lightning tore through the sky, accompanied by a crackling sound, and struck that space.
"Not good!" Emily cried out in alarm as she released a dark magic spell that she'd already prepared.
It was like a giant, oily green net that appeared above everyone's heads as Emily chanted. As soon as the giant net formed, it first stalled the three fireballs. However, the lightning attacks passed through the gaps in the giant net and continued smashing towards them.
Emily and the others were constantly changing their positions below, dodging the Void Lightning all over the place. For a time, the ground in the courtyard crackled. Two of the Asura Stone Pillars were also bombarded by the lightning, flashing with dazzling light.
A clang sounded from Gabriel's direction. Having gotten used to the Little Skull bone dagger's attacks, Gabriel's sword accurately struck the bone dagger and sent the spinning bone dagger crashing to the ground.
"Friend in the house, your miraculous techniques are admirable, but your sneak attack style is a bit despicable! Since you have such a miraculous technique, you should walk out of the house openly and fight me for real! "
Great swordmaster Gabriel naturally thought that this miraculous technique of controlling the bone dagger had come from Han Shuo, who had been cultivating in the house in silence. Although he'd seen the Little Skull's slightly strange gesture of flipping his five white fingers, he wasn't willing to believe that such a strange attack had come from a low-level dark creature.
However, what the Little Skull was doing below immediately shattered his understanding!
As soon as Gabriel finished speaking, the left eye of the Little Skull, who had been standing behind the window, suddenly lit up with a purple light. He leapt out of the window and faced Gabriel's provocation head-on.
The five white bones on his right hand hooked, and the bone dagger on the ground suddenly flew up with a whoosh and landed in his bony claw like lightning.
Gabriel couldn't react for a moment. He stared at the Little Skull in disbelief and was momentarily stunned. At this moment, something even more shocking happened. He saw the Little Skull bend his body, and the seven bone spurs on his back suddenly flew out and shot towards him like seven bolts of lightning.
"Oh my god!" A cry of surprise that only Gabriel could hear came from his mouth.
Gabriel then once again became a passive defender. He condensed his silver fighting aura on his longsword and formed a tight defense around him, bitterly resisting the seven bone spurs' flying attacks.
The Little Skull wielding the bone dagger danced as he dashed into the attacking mercenaries. The miraculous Little Skull revealed his cruel side. With a bend of his leg bone and a flick, the Little Skull's body was like a bolt of lightning as he landed in the midst of these people.
The bone claw in his empty left hand suddenly stabbed out, and with a "pu" sound, five bloody holes appeared in the chest of a middle ranked swordsman. Blood flowed out like a fountain.
With a swing of the bone dagger in his right hand, the head of a nearby mercenary flew high up from his neck. Blood sprayed everywhere from the decapitated neck, dying the white bones of the Little Skull a bewitching blood red.
Two arrows whizzed through the air and hit the bones of the Little Skull's back and chest with a "dang dang" sound. The two arrows fell to the ground with a "clatter" sound, but there were only two white scratch marks on the bones of the Little Skull's chest and back.
The two arrows didn't seem to have harmed the little skeleton, but the little skeleton was affected as well. His body, which had been moving swiftly, couldn't help but stagger a bit when he was hit by two arrows from the front and one from the back.
A few mercenaries nearby took advantage of this opportunity to greet him with their swords and spears. For a moment, "dang dang" sounds came from his white bones. This series of attacks seemed to have stunned the Little Skull. Even the miraculous manipulation of the seven bone spurs had suddenly stopped.
The seven bone spurs that were originally flying around Gabriel and attacking him spun uncontrollably and hit an Asura stone pillar to the side with a "ding dang dang" sound.
As if they had triggered some sort of restriction, a cold wind suddenly blew in the courtyard and a thick aura of death suddenly spread in all directions. The dark sky was covered by the aura of death, and not a single speck of starlight shone down. Only a blood-red evil light soared into the sky from the center.
The six white bone pillars that had been deathly silent suddenly emitted a terrifying howl. The sharp howl, like the wails of ghosts and the howls of wolves, made one's scalp go numb. It was as if a malicious ghost was lying next to one's ear and licking one's earlobe with its blood-red tongue.
Some of the ghostly images on the stone pillars came to life in an instant, each of them baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. The six stone pillars seemed to have become six evil beasts with thousands of tentacles, constantly waving all kinds of ghostly claws and attacking all living things in the surroundings.
"Hurry and hide!" Emily yelled when she saw that the demonic formation in the courtyard had been triggered.
The few people who already knew what was going on had already started moving when Emily cried out in alarm. They hurriedly stood in the safe spots that Han Shuo had instructed them to.
Footsteps sounded again from outside. Another dozen or so people from the Cairo mercenary band had been standing guard around the shop. They couldn't help but rush in when they saw that they hadn't taken care of the people inside after so long. They all stood in the courtyard.
Dark grand magus Edwin and the Calamity Church's female alchemist Belinda stood together on a large tree three shops away. They looked at the place where the blood red light was flashing and the ghostly winds were howling.
"Can it be that the legendary curse of the evil god has really happened?" Belinda's eyes were filled with shock as she spoke to Edwin.
"I don't know, the presence inside is very strange. Even I don't know what's going on. Let's not go near for now and see what's going on first!" Edwin shook his head in confusion.
