Heart of the Castle

Chapter 70 The Demonized Knight Luo Xia
Fat Huck felt his blood freeze. Fear turned his face so stiff and pale that at first he looked like a dead man.A cold and dead breath lingered behind him, Fat Huck slowly turned his head, his neck creaking.

The black figure in the hooded robe stood quietly behind him, the hood drooping down, covering the black figure's face, looking very mysterious.Fat Huck's body trembled, and he felt that the surrounding fog seemed to thicken, but when he looked over carefully, he found that it was not fog at all, but a chill that slowly flowed out from the black shadow robe.

Although he couldn't see Sombra's face and didn't know his real intentions, Fat Huck was still slightly relieved.This black figure didn't look like a demon, but rather a robber or an evil person in the wilderness. Fat Huck wasn't very afraid of it, because as long as it was an intelligent creature that could communicate with words, he was confident that he could persuade it.

Only demons who regard humans as food can't communicate. Fat Huck knows that no matter how eloquent he is, he will inevitably be eaten by the demons in the end.

"This lord, the little one is called Huck, and he is willing to help you." Fat Huck rolled on the spot, and his round body easily changed to lie at the feet of the shadow, and then kowtowed on the ground repeatedly. "I'm a village chief in Viscount Ryan's territory. That guy and his companions robbed me just now. I don't know what to do. Thank you, sir, for avenging me. If there is anything I need to do, Please do as you command."

As he spoke in the most humble tone, he kissed Sombra's boots with his mouth.It was hard and cold where the lips touched.The black shadow was wearing combat boots made of black steel, and the toe of the boots was densely covered with sharp thorns, which unceremoniously stabbed Fat Huck's lip.

"Are you... a master knight?" The only person who can wear this kind of steel boots is the noble knight master in Fat Huck's memory. This also explains why Sombra dared to walk alone in the dense forest .After all, every knight is a strong man who is proficient in martial arts and has extraordinary strength. Even if he encounters a ferocious beast or a small group of demons, he still has the ability to protect himself.

The black shadow remained silent and did not answer.Fat Huck felt a little strange, and couldn't help raising his head and looking up.

Looking upwards from Sombra's feet, Fat Huck could only vaguely see the lower half of Sombra's face.Seemingly noticing Fat Huck's gaze, Hei Ying's blue-black lips twisted a bit, and a smile curved upward.

But what a cold smile it was!

Fat Huck felt a cold air rushing up his back. For the first time, he felt that his tongue was a little stiff. The coldness of the shadow seemed to have frozen all his sweet words in his throat, and he couldn't say anything.

"You said, you are a village chief? I know all the villages here, without you." Just when Fat Huck felt that his will was about to collapse, the black shadow suddenly broke the silence.His voice was like the howling north wind, dry and cold, without a trace of emotion.

"Master Knight, I am not lying, I am indeed a village chief. My village is not far away, less than 3 hours away from here, but..."

Fat Huck paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "But now a group of thugs have occupied my village and drove me out as the village chief, leaving me to fend for myself in the dense forest."

"That's it..." The black shadow's voice still had no warmth, and the ensuing silence wrapped around Fat Huck's neck like a noose, and Fat Huck, who was paralyzed on the ground, began to breathe rapidly, and the hot air he exhaled was in front of him. Condensed into a fine white mist.

"Which direction is your village?" After an unknown amount of time, Fat Huck finally heard the black shadow continue to ask, and the sweat of luck soaked through his clothes immediately.Fat Huck collected himself, raised his head and looked around, and said with a bitter face: "Master Knight, those guys brought me here just now, and I'm lost now. But it's roughly in the northeast. The direction of... that's right, it's the northeast."

"The village in the northeast?" The black shadow repeated in a suspicious tone, and then he raised a hand, calling to the depths of the dense forest.

"Puske, is there any village three hours to the northeast?"

"Bah, bah! Luo Xia, you are the head demon slave, and you are so rude to greet Master Puske?" A shrill answer came from the depths of the dense forest, and then under Fat Huck's terrified eyes, a bigger man A much taller figure than the ordinary little devil stepped out.The demon's skin is dark red, and its hands and feet are covered with black magic lines; two bat-like membranous wings are dragging behind, hooking up with the branches of trees from time to time, causing the head to A burst of foul language from the devil.

"Pusker, I think you should know that since His Excellency appointed me as the commander of this mopping operation, I have the right to order you and your subordinates." The black shadow didn't take the threat of this demon to heart, his voice Still grim. "If you persist in refusing my orders, I will enforce battlefield discipline with my sword."

"Don't you dare! Puske is a great demon, the master Winged Demon, and Puske is not easy to provoke..." The Winged Demon Puske took half a step back, roaring fiercely, and then his tone softened slightly , "But Puske must obey His Lordship's orders, Luo Xia, the place you mentioned just now Puske knows, it should have been turned into ashes."

"Turn into ashes? Why?" There was no emotional change in Sombra's voice. Even if the Winged Demon threatened loudly or eased his tone, Sombra didn't take it seriously.

"Of course there is an incinerator leading his team over there. Hehe, that's an incinerator. An ordinary village can't withstand a few fireball attacks."

"The demon... that incinerator has been wiped out by us!" Fat Huck mustered up his courage from somewhere, supported his body with his hands, and shouted at the Winged Demon.Although there was still a hint of tremor in his voice, for Fat Huck, it was already the limit of what he could do.

"Don't be joking, pig. The power of the incinerator is beyond what a waste like you can imagine. No matter how many armed militiamen are, they are no match for the endless fireballs. Only knights who have comprehended the fighting spirit can defeat them." The black shadow mocked The voice said to Fat Huck, this is also the first time that Sombra showed a change of mood.

"I, I don't know if you are a human or a demon, but what I want to tell you is that demons are indeed powerful, but the ones who win in the end will definitely not be you guys from the abyss, go back to your magma !” said Fat Huck in a hoarse voice, and then he closed his eyes and prayed silently to God the Father.

The black shadow was obviously enraged. He stretched out a big hand with a black iron glove, and grabbed Fat Huck's throat. His black fingers sank deep into the middle of the fat neck.Fat Huck's eyes protruded, and he struggled to break away the black shadow's big hand, but the big hand seemed to be made of steel, no matter how hard Fat Huck struggled, it remained motionless.

The hood of the shadowy figure was sliding down, revealing a most terrifying face.If you only look at the lower half of his face, this is a human man who has just entered middle age, with a well-trimmed beard above his rigid chin, giving him an aristocratic air.However, the upper half of his face was covered with proliferating blood-red sarcoma, and many tentacles sprouted from the sarcoma, writhing randomly as if alive.The man's left eye was completely occupied by a particularly huge sarcoma, and the right eye was wide open, burning with an evil flame from hell

It would not be an exaggeration to say that this is a monster that only appears in nightmares.That was the last thought that crossed Fat Huck's mind.As the bones of the neck cracked slightly, Fat Huck foamed from the corners of his mouth, and his hands hung powerlessly on both sides of his body.In the middle of his rapidly shrinking field of vision, the terrifying face grew bigger and bigger, and then spit out a twisted and wriggling horrible worm from his mouth, crawling to his mouth.
