However, although they all realized that the monster might be after the Book of Oath, the first reaction of the four who were still able to move was to raise their guns.
Brush~
The magical creature shrouded in shadows disappeared in front of his eyes, trailing a trail of smoke. It was obvious that he was well aware of the power of the magic steel hand cannon and the magic-breaking bullet. He could have captured it but he chose the safest way.
"It's going to kill us!"
Hilbert clenched his fists, feeling very stressed.
"Or, it just wants to use other monsters to use up our ammunition... What a cunning monster, it knows us very well... It's a pity that we are probably in danger..."
Zhao Kai was breathing heavily and wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.
"The only regret is that we can't send this information back. If most of the Voice Flowers in the Association weren't currently conducting important research, and if we didn't bring the Voice Flower seeds..."
After hearing what sounded like Zhao Kai's last words, Hilbert hadn't said anything before the hoarse and low voice sounded again.
"Hilbert, the Book of Oath cannot fall into the hands of monsters. Destroy me now!"
These words undoubtedly made Zhao Kai feel extremely guilty, as if his previous punch had ruined everyone.
Hilbert also felt very guilty. He thought that it was his excessive impatience that ruined everyone, and Zhao Kai was just doing what a qualified companion should do.
"Is there any other remedy besides destroying you?"
Hilbert was unwilling to destroy the family treasure like this, nor was he willing to die here. The glory of the Chakus family, the continuation of his bloodline, and the comrades around him prevented him from making the decision to give up.
"Yes, but I don't recommend it. The demonic power is overflowing at this time, and it will hinder you from releasing the power of the oath. I am too weak, and I can only help you in a limited way. The success rate is too low. If I fail, my power will be completely exhausted, and then I will have no energy left to destroy the Book of Oath."
"Will the demon escape?"
Hilbert asked unwillingly. He didn't know what the power of the oath was, but it seemed to be their only way to survive at the moment.
"The demon is imprisoned by Kuhan. Even if my power is exhausted, the power of the oath remains. Without the cooperation of the direct bloodline of the Chakus family, it cannot be released."
"Very good, then don't worry! Zhao, and you guys, help me be on guard!"
After saying that, Hilbert took out the black book directly from his pocket, and the black aura on it was still emanating.
Several people looked around nervously, luckily no monsters suddenly attacked them at this time.
"But if you fail to escape, I will fall into the hands of the monsters. If they can capture the heir of the Chakus family, they may be able to open the cage."
Hilbert took out the scalding-hot pendant, held the chain in his left hand, and turned to the thirteenth page with his right hand. The blood he had pressed had not dried up yet, and there was a strange sense of flow in the black circle of the magic pattern.
"Phew~ Don't worry, the Chakus family has no other heirs. If I fail, I will perish with them!"
Although Hilbert was unwilling, he was not afraid of death.
However, he was ready to die, and the voice of the book fell silent.
"Bang~" A huge rock fell from the sky and was smashed into pieces by Zhao Kai with a shot.
“Roar~~”
The two monsters rushed over like galloping rhinos, and several people raised their magic steel hand cannons and fired together.
Since four of them were unable to move, almost everyone left was wielding dual magic steel hand cannons.
Now everyone is injured, and Zhao Kai, who has the strongest melee ability, has almost lost his ability to move. It is easy for him to be ambushed by these extremely cunning monsters in close combat.
“Bang” “Bang” “Bang”…
The sound of the magic steel hand cannon was like thunder, but the book made no sound. Hilbert yelled at the book while shooting.
"What are you waiting for!! There is almost no chance!! Do you want to be ruined so much?"
“Get out of the way!”
Fox rushed over and knocked Hilbert away. A blurry black hook flashed by, and a half-meter-deep crack appeared on the ground where he had just stood.
“Bang” “Bang”…
At this moment, Zhao Kai broke the hook claw with a few shots, and a sharp insect leg more than one meter long was broken, but the monster itself still relied on its exaggerated movements to avoid the bullets that seemed to be sure to hit it.
The Book of Oath remained silent, as if it had turned back into an ordinary book.
The big trees around were constantly being broken due to the monsters' strange mobility, as if they could hit anything but dodge bullets.
The situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable for them. The trees seemed to be breaking apart and getting closer and closer to their small position.
Zhao Kai and Hilbert had never felt so aggrieved before. It was as if they were being toyed with by a hidden monster, which was secretly watching their powerless struggles.
I can’t stand it anymore!
"Even though the bloodline of the Chakus family may soon end here... Lionhearted blood never lacks courage. Regardless of success or failure, we will never back down!!"
Hilbert shouted these words, and the second half was the family motto of the Chakus family.
He put down a magic steel hand cannon and took out a heavy long sword from his pocket. The Book of Oath did not respond to him, and Hilbert did not intend to beg for it anymore.
While the companions behind still have ammunition, at least use your melee ability to replace some monsters.
"You remind me of Kuhan! If you are the last bloodline of the Chakus family, then I will witness the beginning and end of the family. I will release all my remaining strength to help you. I hope you can concentrate on fulfilling the oath. Remember, we only have one chance!"
The Book of Oath finally responded again, giving Hilbert and others a glimmer of hope.
"The blood is already there. Place your hand on the book and read after me... In the name of the direct bloodline of the Chakus family, I release the one in the oath!"
"In the name of the direct bloodline of the Chakus family, I release the one in the oath!"
Rumble.
A dull thunder sounded from the book, and Hilbert's hand was bounced away.
All the monsters around stopped, and Zhao Kai and others subconsciously stopped shooting.
But it seemed that nothing special happened.
What about the power of oath?
Although the monsters stopped, Hilbert did not feel any change at all. It seemed as if they stopped on their own initiative.
“Hehehehe…hehehehehe…hahahahahahahahaha…”
A hoarse and somewhat creepy laugh came from the Book of Oath.
"Fate is so wonderful! I can wait until this moment, Hilbert... Do you know that in the past, the bloodline of the Chakus family was not allowed to touch the cage and the book of oath unless they awakened their magic power or gained the same level of power."
“Did I succeed?”
Hilbert, feeling uneasy, asked subconsciously.
“Hahahaha…yes, you succeeded. You successfully released me!”
Hearing this, Hilbert suddenly turned pale...
"You!!! You are not the Book of Oath!!!"
Woo~~~
A strong wind suddenly arose, and countless black smoke books gushed out into the sky. The continuously gathering black color formed a swirling low-altitude black cloud in the sky.
"It's been so many years... I almost forgot it!!! Kuhan!!! I will personally send all your offspring to see you!!"
“Boom~”
A bolt of lightning struck, and the dark shadowy monster that had been hiding suddenly appeared under the lightning.
Crash~
The brightness in front of them made Hilbert, Zhao Kai and others squint their eyes.
"Well, this body is a little weaker, but it can still grow!"
The cunning and cowardly monster came closer step by step. The terrifying feeling of oppression even made it impossible for several people to raise their hands to shoot.
The pressure was completely different from before, and the magic power was spreading wildly.
It is no longer the monster it once was.
"There is a demon imprisoned in this book..."
Hilbert recalled the whisper of the voice before, and it was as if all the strength in his body was drained away.
I was deceived... It was a trap from the beginning to the end... I was like a headless fly, being fooled around, and finally I released the devil willingly...
The monster was so close that everyone was unable to move. It was in no hurry to kill people, and its scaly head revealed a strange, human-like smile.
"Hehehe... pathetic, ridiculous, pitiful Hilbert Chakus. It's a pity that Kingsmay can't speak. Hahaha! After being imprisoned for so many years, it's worth it to see this scene! How was the Chakus family exterminated? Maybe there will be records in the future..."
"It's so stupid!!! Hahahahahahaha..."
Hilbert's muscles bulged and his veins seemed to be bursting, but he could not move. He wanted to attack, wanted to die to atone for his sins, but he could only endure the insult of the monster!
He who attaches so much importance to the family honor is probably the biggest shame in the family history, and there is no chance of washing it away!
"No!!!!!"
After briefly breaking free from his restraints, he could only yell these words.
The hidden Qin Xiaoxia's eyebrows jumped, and the power of Hilbert's mental will was beating violently.
But at this moment Hilbert's mind was a little confused, in other words, he was almost driven crazy!
How the hell is this possible! Fortunately, he had already calculated this.
“Sizzle…”
The pendant in his hand had turned from silver to white, and the high temperature extended to the necklace, burning Hilbert's hand.
He looked at the pendant in a daze. It was obvious that the burning sensation before was a reminder from Kingsmay, but he, such a fool...
"Okay, I've said everything I wanted to say. Goodbye, oh, goodbye forever, you can go die now!"
The magical creature possessed by the devil raised its front paws, and the black magic gathered into a sharp edge, which fell on Hilbert's head.
"when……"
A large number of flashing sparks flew everywhere. This fatal blow actually did not work, which not only stunned the "devil", but also made Hilbert and others lose their minds.
Hilbert looked down at the Book of Oath. He had just vaguely seen a flash of light on it.
The book was blown to the last page by the wind.
The magic patterns on it seemed to be alive. In the distortion, Hilbert found that he could actually interpret them like a magic master.
A burly and handsome middle-aged man wearing armor was standing on a burning corpse that was dozens of meters long. A two-handed cross sword in the light was inserted into the monster's forehead.
It was like a gaze that spanned history, and the middle-aged man seemed to suddenly notice Hilbert's gaze.
"Lionheartblood never lacks courage..."
He drew out the cross sword, and a stream of red and black blood spurted out. A horrible roar echoed from the corpse, revealing panic and pain.
"Whether we succeed or fail..."
The long sword danced in the hands of the middle-aged man.
"We never back down!!"
He suddenly threw the cross sword far away, and the sword flew towards Hilbert.
"I cannot destroy Sophielsis at this moment. I will imprison it in the Book of Oath. After hundreds or thousands of years, the power of the Oath will wear away its immortal soul."
"Descendants of the Chakus family, catch the Lionheart Sword. That moment will be the death of Sophielsis!!"
The sound and the picture rushed towards Hilbert, and the flying sword blade was getting closer and closer, as if it was going to cut Hilbert in half!
Hilbert subconsciously raised his hand to catch the flying sword.
“Swish~”
The sound of sharp blades rubbing against each other came into my ears.
"Bang~~~Boom~~~"
With Hilbert as the center, a sudden burst of white light accompanied by a shock wave appeared, blowing away the soil under his feet and sweeping countless grass and wood ashes all around.
Even the monster that the devil was leaning over subconsciously jumped away.
The previous fatigue was swept away, and the oppressive feeling of being unable to move also disappeared. Hilbert looked at his right hand.
A cross sword emitting scorching heat was held in his hand.
It is about 1.8 meters long, with a winding guard and a lion head at the end of the hilt that is exactly the same as the pendant.
"This is the Lionheart Sword!"
My whole body was shaking slightly uncontrollably. My body, soul, and heart were shaken by a sense of excitement that felt like an earthquake.
…
Qin Xiaoxia narrowed his eyes. Is that still a little bit?
…
Hilbert's breathing became heavy and his heart rate rose to the limit.
"Hilbert Chakus, don't be disturbed by the devil, and don't waver in your faith!"
A wild voice like a lion's roar came from the sword.
'Kingsmer?'
"I, the Lionheart Sword King Kingsmay, hereby bless the 23rd Baron Lionheart and recognize you as my master!!!"
A burning force spread from the hilt of the sword along the palm, arm...all the way to the whole body.
"Roar~~~Destroy the demon!!!"
The wild roar of the lion resounded through the heavens and the earth, and the people around felt as if they had almost become deaf at that moment.
The rate at which hormones in Hilbert's body were secreted was unimaginably fast, and the fluctuations in his heartbeat, soul, and spirit were so violent that they seemed about to explode.
“Ding~”
The tip of Lionheart's sword gently touched the ground.
Hilbert's pupils suddenly dilated, and he lost all his mental fluctuations and breath of life.
But in the next moment, Qin Xiaoxia's heart clicked.
Hilbert's pupils shrank again and turned completely silver.
"Boom~~~"
The ground was directly pressed down nearly one meter by the hurricane-like mental storm. Zhao Kai and several other members of the Dawn team were directly blown more than ten meters away and barely managed to maintain their bodies.
Several large trees that were nearby fell down at an angle, and even the terrifying magical creature was forced to crouch down due to the impact.
…
Qin Xiaoxia in the hidden place: "Fuck!!!"
The Holy Spirit in Heaven: 'What the hell!!!'
