As a Sword Saint, I Want to Be a Demon King

"—No, I always sleep with my sword in my hand!"

She remembered her habit of resting at night:

Because the environment here was too weird, last night she specially put on the scabbard of the holy sword.

The moment she thought of it in her mind!

A pure white radiance erupted from her hands, instantly breaking through the darkness that filled the room.

The woman became thinner immediately after being irradiated by the white light, and finally shattered into specks of dust, disappearing before her eyes.

"Vanessa! Where are you?"

Realizing that her stiff body could finally move, she sat up suddenly from the bed and shouted!

"Chuck!"

Almost at the same time, she had drawn out her sword, pointing at the place where the woman in white was standing just now.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

There is nothing there.

She turned her head and looked to her side. Vanessa was sleeping soundly, and the shout just now didn't wake her up.

"Master, you are finally awake!"

Xianya little loli flew over with a nervous expression, holding a water bottle in her hand.

It seemed that she wanted to pour the bottle of water on the master's face, but she hadn't had time to do it yet.

"What happened to me just now?"

Egwene raised the scabbard in her hand, and found that the scabbard was shimmering.

But as she woke up, the glimmer of light above gradually dimmed, and it returned to its original appearance.

She touched her temples and asked with some headaches:

"Did you have a nightmare?"

"Master, you seem to have fallen into a hallucination just now."

Xianya replied worriedly:

"I saw that your expression was very painful, but no matter how much you shouted, you didn't agree, and you didn't respond when you pushed, so I had to go and get some water."

"Thank you, I should be fine."

Egwene's chest heaved rapidly for a while, and she jumped off the bed.

"—This place really has a problem!"

She put on her clothes and shoes, and said to Xianya in a dignified voice:

"And there are omissions in our defense...Those arrangements can only block enemies with entities, and they can't prevent things hidden here at all."

"But, haven't we already set up an enchantment to resist evil spirits?"

Xianya asked puzzledly.

"Evil spirits, resentful spirits, evil spirits... No matter what these spirits are called, they all have a common characteristic, that is, they contain dark energy."

Egwene shook her head and replied:

"The enemy who attacked me just now didn't have such a thing, so the enchantment is naturally useless."

"But, Xianya didn't find anything?"

Little Lolita answered aggrievedly:

"No enemy should be able to escape my detection..."

"That is under the assumption that the enemy appears."

Aiwen said in a deep voice:

"What if the enemy never appeared before us?"

"Xianya doesn't understand the master's meaning..."

The little loli looked a little confused.

Aiwen didn't speak any more, and began to check the items in the room.

The desk, the cabinets, the floor, the hangings on the ceiling... everything looked normal.

She used the holy sword scabbard to get close to those places, but there was no strange reaction.

"Strange, it seems that the problem is not in the room."

Standing in place and pondering for a while, she took off her magic sword and quietly put it under Vanessa's bed, letting the latter hold it with her hand.

Then he opened the bedroom door and came to the corridor.

The hallway was eerie, with no light at all.

"We should light some torches here in the future."

Walking in the dark passage, she secretly planned:

"Most evil things are afraid of light and heat, and torches are good lighting tools in an old castle."

It took her some time, and she walked the entire second floor.

The scabbard didn't shine again, and it seemed to be all right.

"It's strange."

Looking at the wall in front of her, Egwen lost her mind:

——Looking at the situation just now, the only thing that reacts to the enemy is the scabbard.

Then according to the general thinking, it should also be able to find the real body of the target.

But she had tried all the areas and items, and found nothing suspicious.

"Huh? There's a painting here too."

At this time, she suddenly noticed the details that she had overlooked before:

In this ancient castle, it seems that a portrait is painted in many places.

This was originally a normal layout, and the pattern was blurry due to the age, so she didn't care at first.

However, from the corridor just now to every room, the same picture is drawn, which is a bit problematic.

Approaching the pattern and dusting off the dust, one can see a woman in a long black gown.

What is horrifying is that the woman's face was also pitch black, as if it had been deliberately smeared.

"—that's her!"

Ai Wen tried to change the black gown into white, imagined it in her mind, and suddenly came to her senses:

"Although I can't see the face, but the figure and temperament are very similar. Just now she attacked me in my dream!"

"Snapped!"

She pressed the scabbard onto the portrait without hesitation!

"Ka Ka... Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka..."

The portrait image shook violently!

The scabbard that had remained in its original shape after coming out of the bedroom suddenly burst into light!

A mournful howl sounded from inside the pattern, and the whole portrait began to burn!

After a while, it will be ashes, and only a group of scorched marks are left on the surface of the wall.

At the same time, there was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground from the bedroom.

"Not good! Go back quickly!"

Egwene shuddered.

Before she came out, she deliberately put her magic sword containing divine power into Vanessa's quilt.

It still failed to block the enemy's attack!

"What is an enemy that can't even be stopped by the power of God?"

"Abyss Demon?"

While running, she thought in shock:

"Or some more terrifying existence?"

After rushing to the bedroom, I realized it was a false alarm.

The sound of the heavy object falling to the ground turned out to be that Vanessa fell off the bed holding the magic sword.

At this time, she was sitting on the floor in shock, looking around blankly, not knowing what happened.

"Egwen... where did you go just now?"

After regaining her senses, she asked nervously:

"I had a terrible dream just now. In the dream, I couldn't move my body at all."

"Then there was a woman who wanted to catch me... When she was about to catch me, her whole body suddenly burst into flames!"

Only then did she realize that the long sword that Aiwen wore around her waist during the day was held tightly in her arms:

"Huh? Why is your sword here with me..."

"choke."

Egwene came over and drew out her sword, the blade gleaming with gold.

"Your sword is shining again."

Vanessa touched the light on the blade curiously:
