Chapter 4 A Murder in the Dark Night (Part 2)
Standing not far from Ulysses was someone who he didn't know if he could still call it a "human"- a set of ragged black warrior armor. From the point of view of texture, it should originally be a set of warrior armor for a very high-class nobleman. In his right hand, there was a half-meter-long short sword, and he had more wounds than Leon. There was a mask on his head that only exposed his eyes. Other than endless killing and destruction, there was no trace of "humanity" in the eyes exposed in the mask. But these were not enough to shock Ulysses. What really frightened Ulysses was the weird scene on his wounds.
The "man's" wounds did not shed a drop of blood, and were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye. Ulysses even heard the "sizzling" sound when the wounds contracted. Taking a more careful look, the muscles on the wound were not ordinary people's red, but a strange bluish gray. No matter how he looked at it, "the man" was not like a "human".
'If it is not a human being, is it a zombie? No, zombies have no such healing ability. vampire? It is impossible, the vampire family has long been extinct, and it is impossible for a vampire to be injured without leaving blood.' Several inferences flashed through Ulysses's mind for an instant, but they were all overturned by him. However, there was no doubt that this guy was the enemy.
"In the name of Ulysses, the ubiquitous light between heaven and earth! Restrain the nonhuman in front of me! Light Evil-Sealing Circle!" The enemy in front of Ulysses was too powerful, so Ulysses had to preemptively use the magic Light Evil-Sealing Circle that would consume his magic energy the most. Light Evil-Sealing Circle was the strongest binding magic in the level level magic, and the corresponding magic energy demand was also surprisingly high, so Ulysses also had to recite a complete spell to reduce magic energy consumption.
A dazzling white light descended from the sky to the center of the street, and then turned into a twelve-pointed star circle to seal the monster in the center of the circle. Seeing that monster was sealed, Ulysses breathed a sigh of relief. The Light Evil-Sealing Circle had a very good restraint ability for races other than humans, especially those monsters fond of blood and killing. The more evil the monsters were, the longer they would be trapped. But the shortcomings were also very obvious, no one could attack the monsters in bondage. But Ulysses didn't intend to fight this monster. Even level six Magic Swordsman Leon could not win the monster. How could he have a chance of winning as a level four light mage? He was just trying to use this Light Evil-Sealing Circle to buy time so they could escape.
"Leon, run!" Ulysses ran to Leon and helped him up. For Ulysses, who was determined to become a priest, as long as Leon was still alive, he could not leave alone.
"Ulysses, be careful!!!" Leon suddenly pushed Ulysses aside, but he was stabbed through the heart by a short sword that was as fast as lightning.
'How is this possible?'
Ulysses couldn't believe that the scene in front of him was real. Light Evil-Sealing Circle he cast out with all his strength could not even restrain this monster for a minute? Turning his head and looking around, the fact that he couldn't believe it appeared in front of him. The twelve-pointed star magic circle formed by Light Evil-Sealing Circle showed no signs of being destroyed, and it was still operating in place. There was only one explanation for this situation-this monster was a real human being. But how could a person have the healing that was close to the immortal body!!
Unable to breathe, his heart beat frantically. Ulysses had a hunch that he was going to die this time. The "person" didn't give Ulysses any chance to escape. He pulled the short sword out of Leon's heart and appeared in front of Ulysses in a flash, blocking all Ulysses escape routes. Without mercy or emotion, the "man" stabbed the sword into Ulysses's heart.
There was no room for dodge, and no time for chanting spells. Although he knew he would be killed, he couldn't move, he could only watch the short sword pierce his heart.
The blood spurted crazily from his chest, his face, chest, and legs were all stained red. The world was distorted, his body was getting cold, the sensation gradually disappeared from his fingers, and his consciousness gradually started to fade, until the eyes were completely dark.
'Is this death? It hurts!' This was Ulysses' last thought, and then he lost consciousness. What he didn't know was that as his blood flowed out more and more, the black book he obtained from the bazaar was soaked with blood, then a strange scene suddenly occurred.
A ball of dark light burst out of Ulysses's arms, and the masked man and the sword that pierced Ulysses's heart were knocked away fiercely. At the same time, Ulysses's entire body was wrapped around by the dark light, forming a transparent dark light ball. After the dark light ball was formed, a series of dark golden spell texts began to emerge on the outer layer of the dark light ball and continued to spin. With the continuous rotation of the texts, Ulysses in the dark ball of light also began to have earth-shaking changes.
Ulysses' blood—whether it was the blood in the body, the blood sprayed on the body, or even the blood splashed on the ground, was all sucked in by the dark golden spell texts, and the dark golden texts turned dark red. In the continuous rotation, the dark red texts gradually turned back to dark gold. When all the texts turned to dark gold, blood poured out frantically from the texts and returned to Ulysses' body. But the blood gushing out of the texts was no longer the red like when it entered, but turned into the same golden color as the texts. When all the blood flowed back into Ulysses's body, the rotating texts slowly stopped, and then flew towards Ulysses's body, sticking to Ulysses' body one by one.
After the texts were completely stuck onto his body, the dark ball of light surrounding Ulysses burst with a "pop". Ulysses in the ball of light also opened his eyes at the same time, but the color of those eyes was no longer the original black color, but like the dazzling golden yellow of the sun.
The masked man who had been staring at Ulysses slashed at him almost at the same time when the dark ball of light burst. When Ulysses was still in the dark ball of light, he had swung the sword hundreds of times to attack the ball of light, but every attack was automatically bounced by the ball of light.
The sword was blocked. It was not blocked by any magic weapon or high-level magic defensive spell. It was blocked by a slender hand, a hand that was used almost exclusively for turning over books, and a hand belonging to the level four light mage, Ulysses. The short sword that once pierced Level Six Magic Swordsman Leon was "lightly" caught by Ulysses with one left hand, and no matter how hard the masked man tried, he couldn't withdraw it from Ulysses.
"What a special way of greeting! I didn't expect that the first greeting I received in this world was actually this. It seems that my master this time isn't that bad. This is really gratifying! But, it is impolite not to reciprocate, so you can take my attack too!" What would shock everyone was that the voice from Ulysses's mouth with golden eyes was actually the voice of an immature little girl. But the sound was very pleasant, as cute as a little thrush singing.
"In the name of the familiar spirit Aya, the demon sword sleeping in the abyss, wake up to the covenant!" With the incantation in the little girl's voice, a meter and a half long dark red sword slowly emerged from the void. The black giant sword slowly emerged from the void. The body of this sword was all black, and the guard and hilt were red. What was frightening was that there was a weird eye in the center of the guard that was constantly turning, as if this was not a sword, but a sword-shaped magic beast.
"Go! Judgement of Abyss!" Ulysses in the little girl's voice gave an order. The dark red giant sword slashed towards the masked man, as if an invisible swordsman was waving it. In an instant, only an instant, the masked man was cut into pieces.
"I'm exhausted. Now it is time to go to my master's house and rest. Dealing with trash for my master the moment I woke up, alas, I am really an unlucky familiar spirit!" Ulysses said with a little girl's voice, stretched, and sat down on the dark red giant sword he summoned. After Ulysses sat down, the dark read giant sword immediately carried him into the sky and flew toward Ulysses's house like lightning.
What Ulysses didn't know was that after he flew away, the man's corpse that was cut into pieces by the giant sword suddenly twitched violently, and the corpses slowly crawled together like they were alive...
