Chapter 521: Heading to Hell

Clank, clank...

The sounds of swords clashing rang out again and again, and the beach of Dragon Tomb Island was full of traces of fierce battles.

Wherever the purple flame passes, the sand and rocks will be burned to ashes, but where the hellfire is splashed, it will burn forever and even sea water cannot extinguish it.

Gareth stood still, resisting Melina's attacks again and again.

This unequal fight had been going on for half an hour, but Gareth's legs hadn't moved a step. Instead, Melina charged again and again, and the end result was that her own body was broken and fractured.

Although the Death Knight's body was very tough, it couldn't withstand Melina's desperate charge. Fortunately, there was the Withered Rose. She was best at creating the bodies of the undead. At the beginning, she could restore the whole body of Amber Shu, who was only left with his head, with just one finger. Melina's body was made of the Withered Rose, so it was not difficult to repair it.

It's just a pity for Gareth, he has to try his best to control his strength so as not to accidentally kill his little niece.

Melina's strength was indeed not weak. Gareth could not always control her strength well, and every time he failed, Cang Gu would glare at him fiercely.

I can't go on like this, or I'll have to sleep on the beach alone.

Gareth helplessly threw away the long knife in his hand and stretched out his palm to block Melina's charge.

Melina was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Mr. Gareth, what happened? I passed?"

Gareth stretched out his finger and shook it, then said, "It's not that simple, but there's no point in you charging recklessly like this. Your strength is actually not weak, but your actual combat skills are too chaotic."

"Chaos?" Melina didn't understand what Gareth meant and could only stand there in a daze.

"Your fighting skills are all instinctive. I think when Rose created your body, she deliberately left the so-called 'muscle memory' in the raw materials. This reckless fighting style is a typical orc fighting style. But orcs have the ability to go berserk. This self-harming attack method is effective in stimulating their blood rage, but it is a pure side effect for you..."

Gareth pointed out Melina's problem in just a few words.

"The undead have their own way of fighting. Learning from the orcs will only prevent you from fully utilizing your abilities. Watch out."

Gareth hooked his toes, picked up the long knife, and then grabbed it in his hand.

Gareth swung a knife in the air. The trajectory of the knife was very skeletal, but Melina could tell at a glance that this was the sword skill she had just used.

They looked similar, but Melina found that Gareth's knife was faster, a difference that could be seen with the naked eye.

Melina said in surprise, "Why? You seem to be using about the same amount of strength as me."

"The bodies of the undead are very special. Our power points are not just muscles and fascia. Feel your arm. Do you think you look the same as humans? Even the shape of your bones is different! The power that drives our bodies is dark magic. Your muscles and bones only provide part of the power, but more things are actually limiting your power. You need to completely master your own body and master the fighting skills of the undead."

Gareth may not be very smart in other aspects, but when it comes to fighting, he is undoubtedly the best teacher.

Under Gareth's guidance, Melina even cut open the skin on her arm to carefully observe the internal changes every time she exerted force.

Although the undead have no sense of pain, such training is still terrifying.

Melina was like a corpse to be dissected, her limbs were taken apart and put together again and again, and Gareth even had the dead rose reshape her on the spot.

After tossing and turning for a whole night, Melina was finally reborn in the truest sense of the word.

When she picked up the sword again and attacked Gareth, Gareth could no longer give instructions while attacking like before, and the headless knight had to concentrate on responding.

Because Melina had deployed her magic-forbidden barrier, the dark magic in Gareth's body was affected, which narrowed the absolute power gap between the two and Gareth no longer had an overwhelming advantage.

Then, it’s a matter of skill.

The close combat of the undead is twisted in a way that ordinary people cannot imagine. Gareth's arms can become as soft as a whip at will, and the long sword in his hand can cut at incredible angles. Every time the blade is swung out, it can make a snap, like a whip, to make the blade cut back and spin, and the speed is so fast that it can break through the sonic boom.

Under this attack, Melina could only follow and learn how to turn every part of her body into a weapon.

The undead ignore pain and have no vital points in most cases, so they should fight without restrictions.

It looks like two dough men are fighting while shaking wildly. Many of the moves can no longer be called moves. They are actions beyond imagination.

This time, Melina lasted a full twenty minutes, but was finally beaten away by the softer Gareth.

There were wounds all over her body, and Melina once again experienced the feeling of her skin being torn apart.

But it didn't matter, it was just a minor injury. Melina struggled to get up and was about to continue her attack, but Gareth, who was unharmed, stretched out his finger and shook it again.

"That's all for today. What you should do now is rest and forget about the specific actions, but remember carefully the feeling during the battle. In a battle between truly powerful people, you don't have any time to think, so trust your intuition and cultivate your intuition, so that you can become stronger."

After the instruction, Gareth put away his long sword, and hurried back to Canggu, who had a stern look on his face, to explain: "Look, I am teaching you seriously. Melina is a very talented child, and I have to be ruthless to teach her. I really didn't mean to hurt her..."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Melina didn't expect that Gareth, who was as powerful as a god just now, would become like a bullied son-in-law.

However, Melina didn't care about such adult matters. She quickly asked the Withered Rose to help repair her body, and then began to carefully recall and experience the battle just now.

This brutal training lasted for nearly half a month. It was not until the beach of Dragon Tomb Island was covered with Melina's flesh and blood that Gareth nodded to Withered Rose and said, "It's almost done. As long as she stays alert, it shouldn't be a problem for her to enter Hell and deliver the letter."

Melina wiped the blood off her face and looked at the withered rose excitedly.

"Mom, we agreed."

Withered Rose sighed and said helplessly: "Okay, you take a rest first. When your wounds are healed, you can go to hell."

"Very good!"

Melina's face was full of smiles, as she could finally go to hell to find her father.

Withering Rose sighed and carefully repaired Melina's damaged body. Fortunately, Cang Gu did not skimp on various precious materials and even took out a bunch of dragon bones to strengthen Melina's body.

The bones of dragons are the best material, which is one of the reasons why Melina was able to become stronger in such a short period of time, and not because Gareth was afraid of his wife and deliberately let her go.

After Melina's wounds healed, she changed into full body gear at the urging of the Withered Rose.

Melina was given a magical armor reforged by the top craftsmen of the Unholy Song, a divine sword blessed by Zariel, and various miscellaneous magical scrolls.

After making sure all preparations were done, Withered Rose watched Melina summon the Gate of Hell, and then she slammed headfirst into the flaming gate.

Withered Rose clenched her fists and whispered, "Melina, you must come back safely and find your father."
