Chapter Forty-Seven: The Peak of the First Order
Time flies, fifteen days, like golden sand on the seaside, walked away from between your fingers, no matter how hard you try, it can't be recovered.
For the Banshee of Death and the Grimoire with their long lives, these days are like ordinary steps taken in daily life, completely negligible, but for Downton, it is the first and most important stage in life.
Relying on the faint glow of fluorescent bryophytes, Downton seized every second to improve his strength in this dark Forgotten City.
Loneliness, loneliness, and the threat of death from undead creatures everywhere all drowned in the massive amount of sweat that Downton flowed out, and did not make a single wave.
In the backyard of the blacksmith's shop, the treacherous battle continues.
Celes did a great job, luring in thirty-six ordinary ghouls, almost filling half of the courtyard.
Downton was wearing a light black knight's armor and holding a large ogre saber as he fought hard.
Celes was nervous when she saw such a large group of ghouls chasing down Downton, and cast spells as fast as she could, wanting to help him alleviate the crisis.
The white arrows of phosphorus fire were like crossbows, one after the other, blasting into the horde of ghouls, splashing rotten flesh and piercing many bodies.
"Celest, you're attacking too often, don't break them up!" Downton dodged, dodging the ghoul's claw strike in front of him, slashing off half of its head.
The Phosphorus Fire Arrow has a lot of knockback power, and Celest's attack will scatter the ghouls, which will reduce the space for Downton to dodge.
"Oh!" Sereb replied, but her face was full of confusion, and she didn't understand that Weishenme was being trained.
"Stupid, ghouls without soul seals have not yet given birth to IQ, they are completely relying on instinct to hunt down their prey, and the monsters that Downton originally gathered behind him will disperse. Homer reprimanded.
No. 3 and No. 4 serve as meat shields, under the command of Downton, constantly moving and stuck, plus he himself can form a 'V' shaped defense by retreating and running, and control the ghoul group in front of him.
In this way, Downton will face no more than three ghouls at the same time, which will make the fight a lot easier.
The ghouls scattered by Celes did not return to the group on their own initiative, but pounced straight at Downton.
"Number three, move three steps to the left, come back, defend closely, protect my right side!" Downton adjusted the position of the ghoul servant in time to speed up the pace of retreat.
The ghoul at the front roared and pounced, and before he could get close, he was slashed in the shoulder by Downton, and half of his ribcage was sliced open.
The ogre saber is two meters long, with a slight curve, although the rune magic array on it has been broken and cannot be activated because it has not been maintained for too long, but as a high-grade mid-grade weapon, after careful polishing, the sharpness is still beyond doubt.
Although it is not as good as tearing dragon teeth, it is still easy to cut ghouls, after all, the battle axe is too heavy to be used often.
"What you have to do is try to kill or repel as many ghouls around you as you can that left interception in Number Three and Number Four so that they don't interfere with Downton's movement. Homer pointed at Celes, and decided that she wanted to give the Banshee Death a meal and teach some large-scale attack magic.
The legal system is all turrets, and the profession that clears the field first, and now it is reduced to giving a melee paladin, which is really embarrassing.
Bang, No. 3 was knocked away, and before the ghoul could charge, Downton immediately stepped forward, and slashed with two swords.
The sharp, wide blade enveloped the two ghouls directly, slashing them through their waists, and before the stubble could hit the ground, Downton kicked them forward.
The ghouls were hit with a slow momentum.
Number Three climbed up and quickly filled in his position, but Downton noticed that his left leg was twisting irregularly, limping and immobile, which also slowed down his movement speed.
"Is it going to break?" Downton retreated and gave way, estimating the impact of the change on the number three, and trying to control it to the smallest extent possible.
"After this wave, let's replace the magic servant!" Homer projected the text, sighing with emotion.
In the past fifteen days, Homer has seen what madness and perseverance are, and for the first time knows that a person can work so hard.
Downton slept no more than three hours a day, except for hunting ghouls, that is, meditating, and even eating, except for the first day's meal, he used bread, cheese, smoked ham and other simple foods, and was not willing to waste a second on these trivial matters.
The high-intensity battle made Downton's sweat spread all over every corner of the backyard, and he survived, but even the ghouls who wore five sets of hoplite armor began to crumble.
With seven ghouls left, Three was completely dead, and in a single swing, his already scarred arms were completely broken, and then he lost his balance and became defenseless, and was torn to pieces by the swarming ghouls.
Ghouls have no intelligence, they act on instinct, and those who attack them, even if they are of the same kind, are enemies.
"Can't drag it off!" Downton slashed over a ghoul, and immediately reached into the first aid kit strapped to his waist and pulled out a fast-acting magic potion.
After the depleted magic energy was replenished, Downton began to make a series of moves, and the giant seal fell from the sky, blasting into the horde of ghouls, and pieces of flesh flew wildly.
A minute later, the battle ended, and a panting Downton rested with his saber on the ground, adjusting his breathing.
Serex floated over and obediently handed over a kettle.
In the backyard, the ghouls who had not been destroyed and their heads were not dead, dragging their tattered bodies and climbing, but they were no longer a threat.
"I'm not thirsty, you can rest, don't go to the blame. Downton pushed the Death Banshee's hand away and began to inspect the battlefield, mending the ghouls who weren't dead yet.
The Grimoire was suspended in the air, sucking the remnants of the soul, wisps of purple mist floating out of the corpse and being absorbed by it.
"Have you taken a break and actually used all the ghouls who don't have pain nerves to scrap, I'm worried about your body!" Homer's words were not very strong, because he knew that Downton was very assertive.
"It's been a long time since I've told a story!" Celes nodded busily and muttered, "What about Romeo and Juliet you promised?"
With the undead physique of the death banshee, she can't hold it anymore, and the headaches of the frequent air demons have been eroding the nerves, but it is this kind of high-intensity battle that makes her strength improve quickly, and she can take on the ghouls of the same level without any pressure.
"Then rest for half a day. Downton walked up to Ghoul No. 3 and saw it struggling, but he couldn't get up, and slashed his head with a knife.
"May your soul rest in heaven!"
Downton blessed and prepared to return to the hiding stronghold, when he suddenly saw that the Magic Book had burst into a brilliant red light like a meteor after absorbing a wisp of soul remnants from Zuihou.
"What's wrong with Homer?" Celes gripped Downton's arm tightly, looking at the Grimoire worriedly.
"I don't know. Downton shook his head, pulled Serex behind him, and let Number Four stand in front of him, carrying his saber and being on guard, "If there's trouble, you run first, leave me alone." ”
"I won't leave you. Celestia firmly refused.
"Am I like a villain?" The light quickly dissipated, as if it had never been seen before, and the tome floated over and hit Downton's forehead.
"Can you hear me?" the thoughtful Downton saw the subtext in the text of the Homer projection.
"Yes, I finally don't have to put up with your bad words writing and drawing on me. Homer let out a big exclamation mark, as if she had been freed from hell.
"My handwriting is good, isn't it?" Downton rolled his eyes, but was genuinely happy for the Grimoire, "yes, there seems to be less stain on the cover." ”
"Hmph, it's still too slow, it's just for me to hear the talk, what's there to be proud of!" Homer was still poisonous, but he was actually satisfied.
During this time, there have been more than two hundred times like this wave of ghouls introduced into the backyard to hunt, and the number of kills is too great for Downton to remember.
This ultra-efficient way of killing monsters has also allowed the Demon Book to harvest a lot of soul remains, in addition to the debt to the cheap gods, leaving the soul liliang contained in those wreckage, so that the Demon Book has been weakly repaired.
Although almost ninety-five percent of the power is still unusable, it is much more convenient to communicate, at least Downton doesn't have to write.
Along the rooftop, Downton and Celence, holding the Grimoire, returned to the den and began to cook for a short vacation.
"No. 4 is also almost at the limit, so let's change it in advance, so as not to have problems in the battle and get in a hurry. "The Grimoire scanned Four's body with magic detection, and found that many bones were covered with cracks, and muscle fibers were broken, making them very fragile.
"Well, it's time to add new ghouls. Downton threw the cleaned apple to Celes, and couldn't help but be depressed, "There are only two demon servants, it's too few, and it can't be completely defended, otherwise it can be safer and have more tactical options by using a wave of group killing tactics." ”
"You can use the Undead Confession to continue the recruitment!" the Grimoire landed on the table, covered with thick clothes and fluffy, as it demanded.
"Oh, my soul power has reached the point where I can bring another one?" Downton excited.
"You're so lacking in your body. Homer criticized, "You have worked hard, so you have been rewarded enough, and now the soul seed is about to grow to the peak of the first order of the soul." ”
"Doesn't that mean I could advance to the next level at any time?" Downton's heart raced, full of anticipation for that realm.
"At this rate, it will probably be within five days, so you must be prepared to attack the second order, the law rejection when advancing is not a joke, it will make you ruined. Homer warned
