Grasping his longsword tightly, Gawain didn't feel nervous, hesitant, or fearful as he charged at the sinister and strange monster. If he had to say something, it was probably just a little bit of a trance and unreal feeling.
He still clearly remembered the moment when his plane crashed.
He still clearly remembered the hundreds of thousands of years that he was suspended in the sky of this world.
He still hadn't adapted well to the identity of Gwen Cecil that fell from the sky.
But at this moment, he clenched an ancient family sword and rushed towards a strange monster that he didn't know whether it was a demon or an undead.
Bang!
A huge impact came from the blade, and all the distracting thoughts in his mind instantly disappeared.
With an almost instinctive reaction to avoid the monster's sweeping claws, Gwen took advantage of the opportunity to twist his upper body by a small half circle. The swinging blade drew a stream of light in the air and fiercely chopped at the monster's shoulder. At the same time, he tried to mobilize the power contained in this body and guided that power to the sword in his hand.
Under the stimulation of the power, the faint red light at the base of the blade blossomed into a bright red light, and like a flame, it rapidly spread along the blade. Under the scorching heat, even the surrounding air began to distort.
The three meter tall monster felt threatened by the high temperature of the sword, and with an agility that didn't match its huge size, it suddenly leaned back. As a result, Gwen's chop missed by a hair's breadth.
This was the first time Gawain had released such a magical supernatural power with his own hands. He couldn't help but feel a moment of excitement. Perhaps it was this moment of excitement that caused him to lose control of the rhythm of his first attack. However, he quickly adjusted his state of mind and once again infused his power into his longsword.
The skills and knowledge from Gwen Cecil in his memory could be used, and this body hadn't declined to the point where it couldn't use its full strength. Although he didn't know how much strength he could use, Gwen now had a lot of confidence.
He began to immerse himself in the battle, and tried to use the fastest speed to convert the battle experience in his mind that didn't belong to him into power that he could use.
On the other side, Byron had fallen into a bitter battle.
This Intermediate Knight was one of the best in Cecil's territory. Before he pledged his loyalty to the Cecil family, he had accumulated extraordinary combat experience. However, he had already exhausted too much energy when the monsters attacked the castle. In addition, he was eroded by the strange magic power of the monsters, and the internal injuries in his body further reduced his combat strength. As a result, the Knight could only display 40 to 50 percent of his combat strength.
In the face of the monster's continuous attacks, he could only hold his sword tightly and try his best to remain undefeated. He tried his best to conserve his energy while trying to find his opponent's weakness.
Rebecca gathered her magic and a head-sized fireball flew out from the tip of her staff. It collided violently with the shadow arrow of the spellcasting monster in the air, causing an earth-shattering explosion. She took a deep breath and immediately noticed the dangerous situation on Byron's side. She immediately shouted to the territorial soldiers beside her, "You three, go help Byron!"
One of the soldiers hesitated for a moment, "But my Lord …"
Rebecca shouted as she condensed a new fireball, "We're fine here for the time being. But if Byron falls, it's over! As the Lord, I order you to go! "
The three soldiers could only obey the order and fight the terrible monster together with Byron and Knight.
Gwen gradually immersed himself in the battle. The memories and experiences in his mind that didn't belong to him were quickly converted into his own, and he improved his control of his new body. This process brought him a great sense of accomplishment. When he woke up from this state of immersion, he found that the monster in front of him was suppressed by him.
The mutated body surging with "mud" was not invulnerable. It would still be injured if it was cut, and if it was cut too much, it would still die. Although they had infinite strength and the advantage of their size, as long as they mastered the method to resist, the human body could still destroy them.
This was the experience left behind from 700 years ago.
The monster's sharp claws swept over the top of his head. Gwen bent down and stabbed his sword into the monster's thigh. The monster finally let out a muffled roar, and its body fell to the side uncontrollably. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gwen shouted to Byron, "Try to attack their abdomen and lower limbs. Don't worry about their chest, these guys have no heart!"
Then he took advantage of his opponent's loss of balance, twisted around to the side of the monster's back, raised his sword, and stabbed the monster's back. "Other than the abdomen, their other weakness is the back! The back! "
Listening to the advice from the Cecil family's ancestor, Byron suddenly felt refreshed. With the cooperation of the three soldiers, he quickly restrained the monster's movements. At the cost of his shoulder armor being pierced by the monster's claws, he directly went under the monster's crotch and turned around to hit the monster's vital point.
A second before Byron finished off the enemy, the monster in front of Gwen also fell heavily.
After finishing off the enemy, Gwen immediately raised his head and looked at the monster in the distance that was bombarding Rebecca's fireballs with shadow bolts. But the moment he was about to rush over, the monster suddenly let out a shrill roar, and then convulsed and fell down.
Amber's figure appeared behind the monster, spinning a poisoned steel dagger in each of her hands. "Stabbing the chrysanthemum, I'm good at it."
Rebecca put down her wand, her cheeks slightly red from the continuous casting of spells. She took two deep breaths to calm her breathing, and then seriously corrected, "The ancestor is talking about the back, not the chrysanthemum."
Amber quickly spun the dagger in her hand twice, and the dagger was hidden by her. She stepped over the monster's body, curling her lips as she walked over. "Tsk, no sense of humor at all."
After the monsters died, they began to disintegrate quickly. The mud-like substance that was constantly flowing on their bodies stopped flowing first, and then gradually dried, hardened, and a large number of fine cracks appeared. As the mutated "flesh" decayed and fell off, they quickly became a huge, twisted bloody skeleton.
Gwen stood next to the monster he killed, looking down at the process, and as if talking to himself, he said, "So these are the things that attacked the Cecil family …"
Heti looked at him curiously. "Ancestor, you know the origin of these monsters?"
Gawain had already shown his deep understanding of these monsters in the previous battle. He had even given Byron pointers on how to deal with them, so naturally, he couldn't hide this fact. Gawain didn't want to hide it either.
"If we stay here, we may encounter them again. Let's go into the secret passage first. There's something suppressing those monsters in the secret passage, so they won't go in easily," Gawain said as he walked forward. "I can tell you the details on the way."
After going into the ancient underground passage and moving forward for a while, Gwen broke the silence. "I did deal with them back then. In fact, we mainly dealt with those things back then. You should know the history of the collapse of the Kingdom of Gondor and the second expansion, right? "
"Of course," Rebecca immediately nodded. This history was a compulsory course for her as a noble child. "More than seven hundred years ago, there was only one human country on the Loren Continent, and that was the Kingdom of Gondor in the center of the continent. History recorded that it was the most powerful empire on the continent at that time. Even the Silver Empire, founded by the elves in the south of the continent, dared not go against it. But then the sea of aether that shrouded this world went into turmoil, and a catastrophe called the 'Dark Tide' occurred on the Loren Continent. The outbreak point of the disaster was in the hinterland of the Kingdom of Gondor. Almost overnight, the capital of the Kingdom of Gondor and one-third of its territory were swallowed by the demonic wave and disintegrated by the raging elemental forces … "
"It did not happen overnight. In fact, the process lasted for almost a month. The royal mages of Gondor were not doing nothing in the face of the demonic wave." Gwen interrupted and then motioned for Rebecca to continue. "But the result is not much different. You can continue."
"Oh … Oh." Rebecca blushed. She spoke more cautiously as if her parent was checking her homework. "After that, the demonic wave in the hinterland of the Kingdom of Gondor continued to spread and eventually destroyed the entire country. That was the collapse of the Kingdom of Gondor. After that, as the sea of aether gradually calmed down, the power of the demonic wave began to decrease. The survivors of Gondor began to rebuild their civilization. As the central area of the continent had been ruined and was no longer suitable for human survival, they left the ruined empire under the guidance of a group of pioneers and began to develop in the four directions. It was known as the second expansion in history. Ancestor, you were one of the most famous Knight of the expansion back then. "
"Well, not bad at history." Gwen casually praised. "You should have heard that even though the demonic wave was over, there were still a large number of monsters that were born in the demonic wave in the ruins of the Kingdom of Gondor. Those monsters were one of the biggest threats that humans faced during the second expansion."
Heti's eyes widened. "You mean …"
"Yes, those were the things that fought us back then." Gwen sighed. "They were born in the demonic wave. They had the outline of a human, but they were definitely not human. After the collapse of the Kingdom of Gondor, a large number of such monsters poured out from the ruined hinterland of the empire and continued to spread in all directions, hunting down the survivors. So the first half of the second expansion was not so much an expansion as an escape. And even after we left the wasteland of the empire and built a new country on the edge of the continent, those monsters did not stop. They continued to pour out from the wasteland of the empire and frequently attacked the defense line of the civilized world … In the first ten years after the establishment of the Ansu, I had to deal with them almost every day. "
Rebecca's eyes widened. She seemed to be deeply attracted by the ancient and legendary story. "Ah, so after the establishment of the Ansu, those monsters stopped appearing?"
Gwen smiled and reached out to stroke the girl's hair. He smiled like he was looking at a silly deer. "Silly child, after that your ancestor died …"
