When Count Audine saw the red emblem of the Holy Cathedral of Fire on the shining armor under the robes of the corpses, his expression changed again.
Of course, he knew the soldiers of the Holy Cathedral. But so many of them had died. For Martha's sake, he knew the strength of the Holy Cathedral the best. He could not imagine what kind of enemy could make the monks of the Holy Cathedral of Fire pay such a high price.
Count Audine's gaze continued to move forward. "The Gray Knight!" When he saw the corpses at Brendel's feet, he was so shocked that he could not speak. These corpses were at least at the level of a Priestess, which meant that there was at least one Priestess in the Holy Cathedral team?
Audine could not help but gasp. More than 30 soldiers of the Holy Cathedral died even with the help of a priest, and the Gray Knight? Who did the people of the Holy Cathedral meet?
A priest of the Holy Cathedral must at least have Elemental Activation. As a spell profession that had Elemental Activation, it should be enough to win against a male wolf.
However, the count immediately had some strange thoughts. He looked at Brando and wondered if the young man had killed the soldiers of the Holy Cathedral. After all, in his opinion, there seemed to be nothing that the lawless young baron did not dare to do.
He did not even care about Cruz's people. Maybe he really would do something so earth-shattering.
Count Audine then thought of the relationship between Brando and the Druids. For a moment, he could not help but think, Could it be that these Druids wanted to start the Holy War?
The high-ranking general from the Northern Legion swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
However, Brando's words dispelled the count's doubts. Of course, Brando noticed Audine's arrival, but he did not even look at the latter. Instead, he continued to walk through the forest and said, "The real battle began here."
He asked Scarlet to stop, then pointed to the forest and said, "The battle ended the moment the enemy approached. Everyone thought they had attacked, but their weapons were still in their hands, and their arrows were still on the bow."
"Then the first batch of people died." Brando crossed the line of defense formed by the ten soldier monks. They were all lying on the ground. "Death is silent, like a breeze that brushed past their bodies."
He looked at the corpses of the ten soldier monks. They had all died at the same time.
He looked up, and the invisible enemy continued to move forward. The second group of monk soldiers tried to pull away to buy time, but they fell at the same time.
"In the end, the remaining people seemed to have broken down. Some of them started to run away. This is why these corpses did not form a perfect defensive circle in the end."
Brando replied. He looked around the forest. "Judging from the arrangement of the monk soldiers, the creature was huge, but it passed through the forest without a sound. It must have used some kind of illusion when it took these people's lives, so there was no sign of a fight until death."
"But we can't rule out the possibility that it created an illusion to mislead these people. But if that's the case, the others from the Holy Sanctum shouldn't be able to escape."
Brando looked at Wade and Quinn, and then at Austin who was beside them.
His calm gaze sent a chill down the three men's spines. It was as if there was a terrifying monster lurking in the forest, and it would hear their conversation at any time and appear like a giant ghost.
The three of them were actually warriors who had experienced hundreds of battles, but this Black Forest was too strange. Those who were not familiar with it would feel a suffocating mystery, but those who were familiar with it could only see more of the unknown.
But they could not imagine how the young man could stand in front of them and talk so casually.
"Have you heard of something like this?" Brando looked back at the forest again. In fact, the current situation puzzled him. It was not that he had never seen a similar attack, but there were too many answers that fit the description.
Moreover, no one dared to say that they had seen all the monsters in the wilderness.
Some of the creatures born from Chaos and magic did not make sense. Perhaps this terrifying killer was really a breeze that brushed past the forest.
Perhaps —
In order to narrow down the scope of the answer, he had to find the answer from the natives like Wade and Quinn. Brando thought that if he were to complete this plot with the mentality of a quest, then he would understand that there would be no quest that did not provide clues.
"It sounds like a ghost. Only a ghost in the legends would silently take away a person's life." Brando did not expect Count Austin to be the first to speak.
After a brief moment of astonishment, the Count from the Kingdom began to reevaluate Brando. Perhaps it was his occupational disease, but Brando's reenactment of the battle was a new experience for him.
If it was said that the Count had been looking at Brando with his personal feelings and prejudice, then he finally noticed some details that he had not noticed before.
For example, when did such a person appear in Erouine?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss. [What Baron of Abies Domain? Isn't Abies Domain located in Tónigel? If I'm not mistaken, isn't that Count Randner's worthless son the lord of this backwater village?
Of course, as the most central existence in the noble circle, he was not sure if he remembered correctly, but he did not believe that this mysterious young noble was a country bumpkin lord.
In his opinion, the so-called most outstanding young people of this generation that were widely rumored in the noble circles were nothing more than this. Most of them were just boastful people, but this Baron in front of him was truly in an environment that was a thousand times more dangerous than a battlefield, and yet he was still able to talk and laugh as if nothing had happened.
Count Austin could not help but look at Brando with a strange gaze. He subconsciously thought that this person was lying.
"A ghost?" Brando shook his head. First of all, it was impossible for there to be a 'ghost' as large as a hill. Moreover, a ghost's method of attack was to steal the temperature of life, so the creatures they killed should at least be covered in a layer of ice.
Elder Wydd and Leader Quinn shook their heads as well. There were many ghosts in the Dark Forest, and they had also dealt with them before, but it was clear that the current situation was different.
Brando could not help but shake his head when he saw that no one could give him an explanation. He actually had a faint premonition in his heart.
The moment they entered the Loop of Trade Winds, they encountered such a scene. Or rather, the people from the Holy Cathedral of Fire were one step ahead of them and were attacked. Brando suspected that the creature hiding in the fog was the one that attacked the Druids.
But the creature only forced the Druids to retreat, and now it started to kill them. Was it because the intruders were different, or was it because of the appearance of the path in the clouds?
But no matter what, Brando knew that this creature should be the Boss of this storyline quest.
"Even the Holy Cathedral of Fire did not seem to have the ability to resist, and only left behind more than thirty corpses. How strong is this thing?"
Brando faced such a conjecture without batting an eyelid, but his heart was filled with joy. It was fortunate that the guys from the Holy Cathedral of Fire were quick enough to block the attack for him. Otherwise, he really did not know if he could deal with this terrifying thing head-on.
Originally, he thought that the player in The Amber Sword was much weaker than he was now, but he was still able to enter Valhalla and complete the quest. This meant that this quest shouldn't be too difficult.
But he did not expect …
Holy shit, so that guy really did stumble into the center of the Loop of Trade Winds by accident! Brando could not help but curse in his heart. But even so, his experience as a leader calmed him down quickly.
Since he could enter the Loop of Trade Winds by accident, it meant that this quest was not completely impossible. Otherwise, with the strength of this Boss, not to mention the players at that time, it was estimated that the game would not be able to do anything even after twenty years.
But fighting was definitely not feasible, so the goal of the quest should be to avoid fighting and find another way. But where was this shortcut? Brando was at a loss. No one would be willing to release the details of this quest for free, and those paid posts were too expensive. Who would spend money on a one-time quest that had already been completed?
But Brando was now filled with regret. If he had known this would happen, he would not have thought that way.
Veronica, the Magus of Buga, and the terrifying Andesha. Now, there was the Boss that was even more terrifying than the three of them combined. Brando suddenly had a headache. He could not help but wonder if the difficulty of this quest could be a little bit higher.
This was just an early storyline quest, wasn't it?! Brando patted his forehead and subconsciously looked around to see if there were any clues. But when he turned around, he saw Scarlett staring blankly at her hand. He could not help but be startled. This red-haired girl did not have the habit of being absent-minded at this time.
"Scarlett?"
"Hmm?" Scarlett was slightly surprised and raised her head.
Brando thought that she had discovered something and asked: "What's wrong?"
"There's something on my hand." Scarlett looked at her hand worriedly. Brando was startled. He thought that the Blood of Gods had relapsed. But what made him feel strange was that the effects of the Golden Apple should not have disappeared so quickly.
But when he looked at her arm, he saw strange golden patterns on it. No matter how he looked at it, these patterns did not seem like the signs of the Blood of Gods.
Instead, it seemed like magic was flowing under her skin.
Brando felt that the patterns were familiar, but he could not remember where he had seen them before. He thought for a moment and shook his head: "This is not the Blood of Gods. Don't worry. But I think it's the effect of the Golden Apple. The Golden Apple itself contains a lot of magic — "
He looked up: "So the magic in your body resonates with the Demonic Wave. This is a good thing, not a bad thing."
"A good thing?" Scarlett's worry faded a little. She knew that Brando would never lie to her, but she was still puzzled by Brando's words.
Brando nodded: "Yes, I may have thought of a way to make you an Elementalist."
"But I'll have to wait until Lady Orthlyss wakes up before I can ask her about it." He could not help but sigh.
Orthlyss was obviously a Heroic Spirit, but she did not have the self-awareness of a Heroic Spirit. She would sleep for twelve hours every day without fail. For Martha's sake, a Heroic Spirit should not have wrinkles!
