Chapter 952 – 952. Blood Curse (1)
Kaaaaang!
It was truly a moment when Lexus and Siete’s swords collided with each other.
The two were moving faster than sound, and only after they widened the gap again and a standoff continued, did the sound of their blades collide rang out.
Xie Te, who widened the distance again, frowned and looked at Lexus.
“I was just wondering, but it’s true.”
“… Yes?”
Yuria, who was behind her, tilted her head and asked back at her words.
She answered Yuria’s question with a look of extreme discomfort, as if she was faced with something disgusting.
“This. “It is a death knight made from dead spirits.”
“… !”
“… !”
Yuria and Alex both looked at Lexus in surprise.
Laxus, who had a dull expression and showed no reaction, was like a living doll.
“Frozen… “Dead?”
“Okay.”
Siete was sure.
“But the Death Knight…”
Yuria recalled the characteristics of the Death Knight that she had heard from Eunhyeon.
Originally, a Death Knight was created by forcibly ministering the souls of knights or swordsmen who were noble in life and settling them into the armor of death embodied by morale.
However, unlike what I heard from Eunhyeon’s explanation, the Lexus in front of me maintained its original shape.
Undead with a clear reality, not just a soul and morale.
If you really want to be specific, isn’t it more similar to a ghoul or zombie than a death knight?
But Siete was confident.
“There are exceptions to everything. But that’s for sure.”
“How can you be sure of that… “
“I’ve been through something like that, so I don’t know.”
“…”
There was a history of Siete’s soul once belonging to the devil and being taken over to Mediah, resulting in her becoming a Death Knight.
If Eun-hyeon hadn’t freed herself, she might have continued to exist in such a terrible state that she couldn’t even die.
There is no way that Siete could not have recognized the hideous, dark, deathly energy emanating from Lexus’ whole body.
“That’s a really shitty case.”
To face it directly, to become that horrible being.
Both are really bad.
The feeling and feeling of manipulating and toying with people’s souls as one pleases was the worst moment for Siete.
“Then, the rumors currently circulating within the Kingdom of Lucadia…”
Terrible rumors that her first prince, Lexus Lucadia, had annihilated all of her royal bloodline, including her own parents and her younger siblings.
The truth behind the rumor is that the woman who turned Lexus into a Death Knight and uses her as her servant is the real culprit.
In other words, she is the real disaster, having annihilated the entire Lucadian royal family and possibly encouraging the large army of undead and demonic beasts flooding in from the west.
“… “What the heck?”
The woman behind the Lexus muttered.
That things didn’t work out the way he wanted, that a woman other than himself knew of Lexus’ existence, and that he saw right through his current state.
I didn’t like everything surrounding this situation from beginning to end.
Her trembling voice contained a mixture of dark emotions, including intense anger and irritation.
“What on earth…?” !”
Her eyes trembled violently and she screamed at Siete, Yuria, and Alex, who were standing in front of her and Laxus in a standoff.
“Why are you blocking my path! Why are you disturbing me! “Why are you trying to stop me from cleaning!”
Yuria muttered a word from the woman’s nervous words.
“… Cleaning?”
“Okay! Finally, finally, get rid of all these bugs! I was able to completely clean it… ! “Lexus!”
The woman pointed to Siete, Yuria, and Alex who were interfering with her.
“Kill them all! Right now!”
Lexus didn’t respond.
He simply raised his sword to silently carry out her command.
The moment a black blade was swung, scattering dark death energy towards Siete, who was facing him.
[Siete Swordsmanship]
[Plum Blossom Wind]
Keying!
A light metallic sound rang out, and at the same time, a gentle breeze blew and the Lexus stopped moving.
He didn’t stop.
It was just forced to stop.
“… What?”
Yuria couldn’t figure out why the Lexus she was trying to attack stopped moving.
“Lexus?”
The same was true for the woman who was commanding him.
“… “That’s amazing.”
Only Alex, who was also practicing his sword as a swordsman, realized what Siete had done.
Even he couldn’t read her movements properly.
All I knew was that she had ‘cut herself.’
Only after the gently blowing wind disappeared did Lexus’ frozen body, as if time had stopped, move.
To be precise, the blade he swung, his upper body cut diagonally above his shoulder, fell to the floor in vain.
“Ah… !”
Only then did Yuria burst out in admiration.
It was only after seeing the cross-section of Lexus’ torso, cleanly severed along with the blade, that I realized that Siete had cut him down.
The situation was over without anyone even noticing the incredibly fast and sharp sword strike.
Siete lost her strength and passed by Laxus’ collapsing body.
The purpose was to immediately deal with the woman who seemed to be the culprit of this situation.
“Tsk… !”
It was only for a moment that I saw her approaching me with her slow, leisurely steps, closing the distance between me and her.
“… Be careful!”
Surprised, Yuria’s urgent voice called out to Siete.
There was no way Siete would not have noticed the gloomy death energy she exuded in an instant.
Siete swung her sword towards her rear.
Suddenly
As she rotated her body, the centrifugal force applied diagonally from the bottom to the top and cut off the arm of Lexus, who had risen again.
Siete muttered with a questioning look.
“Are you back together again?”
The upper body was clearly cut cleanly above the shoulders, but before I knew it, Lexus’ torso had been restored to the state it was in before it was cut again.
“… “It’s annoying.”
The Death Knight’s body, which is originally composed of dead spirits and morale, has no clear entity.
The sword and armor worn by the Death Knight were originally embodied with an unpleasant power derived from the dead spirit and moral energy.
Unlike regular Death Knights, Lexus believed that it was made not only from dead spirits and morale, but also from corpses.
So, I thought that if I cut off the main body, it would just disappear.
But why on earth was the mutilated body restored to its original state?
“Tsk.”
Siete clicked her tongue as if she didn’t like it.
His disciple Eunhyeon might have figured out this phenomenon and derived a suitable solution, but Siete had no expertise in this phenomenon or field.
If you are an undead with the characteristic of recovering from cuts, cuts, cuts again.
“I’ll cut you down until they disappear.”
Siete swung his sword.
The calm sword strike, which had been causing a gentle whirlwind, gradually turned violent and swirled.
[Siete Swordsmanship]
[Image plum blossom]
Silently drawn solid lines were drawn all over Lexus’ body.
At the moment, the helpless body of Lexus was being cut into pieces and the form of the human corpse that was still holding on was disappearing.
“…”
Siete stopped striking.
He discovered black auras connected to various parts of his body.
As if small solid lines were connected.
The writhing black solid lines were pulling the Lexus’ shredded body back to its original form.
He was clearly different from the characteristics of the undead he knew.
“That can’t be…”
It was Yuria who recognized the unidentified characteristic.
“No way, it’s a curse… ?”
“A curse?”
“… I heard it from my teacher. “Like necromancy, it is one of the dark arts that has been lost to the world.”
Yuria glared at the woman who was driving the Lexus with a nervous expression.
“I can’t believe you were a witch doctor.”
“I didn’t know there was anyone who recognized the curse. But just because I know…”
The woman raised her hands into the air.
Black energy slowly began to condense into her palm.
The death energy was so thick that it gave me goosebumps.
“It doesn’t change anything.”
When the snorting woman stretched out her hand towards Lexus, the morale energy on her hand flowed towards Lexus.
Slam! Slam!
Her body slowly rose up, making the sound of metal hitting her armor.
The corpses that had been cut into pieces started to stick together again like magnets, taking on their original form, and Lexus, who was facing Siete, swung his sword again.
Kaaaaang!
Siete, who swung her sword in response to Lexus’ sword strike, looked momentarily surprised.
“… !”
Laxus’s sword and armor, which had been cut in vain just a moment ago, blocked Siete’s sword.
The reason why the defense suddenly became strong enough to block the terrifying cutting power was probably due to the morale that the witch doctor woman poured into Lexus’ corpse.
Siete clicked his tongue at the annoying situation.
“Tsk.”
“The key to the curse is flow! That flow… !”
Before Yuria could finish her hasty explanation, something flew towards Siete’s back.
Sensing the presence of a black spear encased in her death energy, Nancy Siete struck down her spear’s blade.
“Joy.”
The shaman woman snorted and waved her hand.
The black spear blade that Siete struck lost its shape and degenerated into a fog of death energy.
It spread widely like a large net and covered Siete’s entire body.
[Hyeonseong Joo, polar progenitor]
[Lee Hyeong-hwan-wi]
Siete’s whole body, which was almost covered in the fog of death at any moment, disappeared, leaving behind an afterimage like an illusion.
The shaman woman frowned and looked around her for a sign of Siete, but she was nowhere to be seen.
“Where… Big!?”
The shaman woman felt a tingling pain in her chest.
At the same time, she cried out and vomited blood, causing her to suffocate.
When she finally turned her head and looked behind her, she saw Siete stabbing her in the chest from behind with his sword.
“Huh, huh… Cough!”
The witch doctor woman laughed.
She had been stabbed in the heart, and although she was about to suffocate and die, she was so happy that she did not stop laughing.
“… “What’s funny?”
Siete frowned at her attitude as she started laughing like a maniac.
“Housework… You did it. “Did you really think that killing me would solve the problem?”
“…”
Siete sensed something was off about her, but it was too late for her to notice.
The death energy flowing from the witch doctor woman’s heart extended towards Siete.
“… !”
She tried to put her foot out of the way and spread the distance between her, but it took only a moment for the mist of her unformed death energy to reach Xie Te.
Haha!”
The witch doctor woman, who started laughing maniacally while vomiting her blood, taunted Shi Te by saying that she liked her appearance.
“Your soul now… ! Uh?”
She literally intended to spread her curse, consuming her body and soul of her poetry, subjugating her to herself.
The shaman woman could not finish her sentence and continued her questions.
Her death and curse, which spread from her own heart, did not spread into Siete’s body.
“… Why?”
The curse spread by that sorcerer woman could not submerge Siete, as if her door had blocked her and prevented her from moving forward.
“… Did I let my guard down? “I don’t have the courage to see her student like this.”
Siete let out her sigh.
“I can’t believe I live and benefit from a spoiled little brat.”
Siete, who had already become a white demon and whose soul was protected by the power of her divine beast, did not hesitate to shake off her curse and mutilate the body of that sorcerer woman.
