Chapter 124: Light Sword
Late at night, Field's huge villa was completely dark. Because Luer used the extraordinary item "Shadow", the lights in the entire villa were forced to go out. At this time, dark clouds passed by in the sky, and even the moon was blocked, so the surrounding environment fell into complete darkness with almost no light.
In a corridor, the sudden darkness saved Bill's life. Bill, who was being suffocated by Vanya's continuous and fierce attacks, took advantage of the darkness to quickly distance himself from the opponent. Since he could not see, he could not find the enemy to attack. Vanya's torrential sword attack suddenly stopped, which gave Bill a chance to catch his breath.
"Huh...Huh...Huh...What's wrong with this nun...It's ok that she has a 'cup' on her that can be used for eating, but her swordsmanship is too outrageous...She keeps attacking, and the angles are so weird and tricky, her moves are flawless and she doesn't even have a chance to counterattack. Does the Radiant Light Church have a swordsmanship tradition that is passed down specially? I haven't heard of it? Is she a disciple of a swordsmanship master?"
Bill thought in a panic that he had also learned swordsmanship and was not a novice, so he was prepared to carry a sword. However, it was also because he had learned swordsmanship that Bill could realize how outrageous the nun's sword was.
In the short time he had been fighting with the nun, he had been scratched, stabbed and chopped countless times, with bloody wounds all over his body. If he had not been the extraordinary "Cup", he would have collapsed long ago.
In the sword fight with the nun, Bill could only barely avoid being injured in the vital parts, and he could not hold on for long. If it weren't for this wave of lights-out assist, he would have been finished.
"Huh...Huh...All the lights are out. The instructor must have used the black candle. I'm saved, and...I can fight back..."
As he was thinking, Bill, who was covered in wounds and blood, pulled out a piece of straw paper from his body. On it were intricate pictures and the symbol of "Shadow". This was a talisman, the talisman of "Shadow".
"Silent Sigil..."
Bill activated the talisman, and then under the protection of the "shadow" spirit, all the sounds he made would be suppressed to an extremely small level, so small that ordinary people could not hear it at all. For Vanya, Bill who used this talisman would be silent.
As a true student of Luer, Bill will naturally follow the same beast path as Luer on the road of extraordinaryness, and be promoted to a beastman in the future. Therefore, he has accumulated the spirituality of "shadow" in his body, so he has the capital to activate the "shadow" symbol.
"Hmph... No matter how powerful your swordsmanship is, you can't use it if you can't see me. If you can't hear me, then you can't even grasp my position. Now that you can't see me or hear me, I want to see what you can do... Nun..."
Thinking of this, Bill held the sword steadfastly and began to move silently in the darkness. He determined that the nun in front of him could not determine his position, but he could find the nun because he had a sense of smell and could smell the scent of the nun in the darkness.
Although he couldn't see with his own eyes, Bill was now certain that the nun was standing motionless not far in front of him, as if she was concentrating on guarding her surroundings and dared not make any rash moves. Bill knew that, except for some special subspecies, the ordinary apprentice-level "Light" extraordinary people did not have the ability of night vision.
Now, Bill thought that the nun standing in the dark had become his target. Relying on his sense of smell, he slowly and silently moved behind the nun, and then tightly gripped the sword in his hand.
"Put out your lamp here too, Sister of Radiance..."
Relying on the protection of silence, Bill murmured as he swung the sword in his hand, slashing fiercely at the source of the nun's breath, looking forward to the pleasure of revenge in his heart.
However, to Bill's surprise, he did not feel the sensation of the sword entering the flesh. Instead, there was a clear and crisp sound that shook the darkness.
"when!!"
"What! This is... blocked? How is that possible! She shouldn't be able to see or hear anything!"
Feeling the touch of the sword and listening to the crisp sound of the weapons hitting, Bill thought in amazement, and at this moment, dark clouds in the sky passed by, and the hazy moonlight shone in from the window, slightly illuminating the scene in front of Bill.
He saw that in front of him, the nun with long platinum hair was holding a sword and blocking his attack with perfect posture, and the eyes behind the lenses were closed peacefully at this moment. This scene made Bill stunned.
"The eyes are...closed...this is..."
Before Bill could react, he used both hands to swung Bill's sword to the side and stuck it into the wooden railing on the side, restricting his movement. Then he took the opportunity to swing the sword again, aiming straight at Bill's throat. Bill was unable to block this attack, and he fell to the ground with his eyes wide open and blood gushing from his throat.
"Thank you for lighting the light of my heart to illuminate the darkness..."
Vanya prayed habitually, closed her mind's eyes, then opened them and looked at the dead Bill in front of her. She subconsciously took two steps back. After her concentration was lifted, her heart began to beat wildly again. After taking two deep breaths, she finally managed to calm down, and then looked at the bloody blade in her hand.
"Win, win... I defeated a extraordinary cultist? Awesome... This swordsmanship inspired by God is really amazing. Even someone like me can fight against other extraordinary people..." Vanya thought to herself. Although she won, she still felt unbelievable in her heart, as if she couldn't believe that she did it.
Sitting on the ground and breathing a sigh of relief, Vanya looked towards the deep darkness on the other side, and a deep feeling of worry emerged again.
'I'm done here... I don't know how things are going over there with Miss Dorothy..."
…
Going back a little in time, on the other side of the third floor of the villa, there is a spacious room with huge windows. Some weapons are displayed in it, such as one or two sets of cavalry armor, spears and swords hanging on the wall, and a tapestry hanging on the wall with the shield of the Field family printed on it.
Under the tapestry stood an old knight's plate armor, which was fixed in a fighting posture. He held a spear and pointed it forward, looking as if he was facing thousands of troops and would not retreat.
This is a weapons showroom, used to display some weapons and armors. Field's family is a traditional noble family that has been inherited in the local area for quite some time, so it is very normal to have a showroom that displays the glory of the ancestors' martial arts.
At this moment, Dorothy was in this large showroom, looking at the scenery in the faint moonlight outside the window, thinking with a serious expression.
'Gone... After he destroyed all my corpses with the help of darkness, that guy disappeared... Now, except for the place near the window, the villa is completely dark, and I can't see where he is at all...
'I ruined his promotion, there's no way he'd let me off. He should be looking for me in the villa now.
'The beastman has a stronger sense of smell than the apprentice-level 'cup' extraordinary beast in the beastman form. It can move faster in the dark, hide its body, and reduce noise. Its claws are sharper than knives. Its physical strength and vitality are one level higher than those of the hungry beastman, but it still has a fatal point. It can roar to make enemies in a small range feel fear...
"Vanya is fighting with Bill and can't leave. In order to prevent me from escaping, she should prioritize looking for me. If her sense of smell in her beast form is stronger than Bill's, then it will only be a matter of time before she finds me based on the remaining scent in the villa..."
Recalling the information about the beasts she got from Oldman, Dorothy thought carefully and realized that now she needed to prepare for a head-on battle with Lue.
The first thing to do is to choose the battlefield. Since the beast came to her door, Dorothy has the right to choose the battlefield.
With the help of the faint moonlight, Dorothy began to look around, carefully examined the surrounding environment, and then nodded slowly.
"This is it..."
