At night, a blood moon hung high in the sky, seeming to reflect the tragedy below.
Phew!
A trace of black streaked through the air, and the guards who rushed up were beheaded before they could even swing their weapons.
"Monster! This is a monster!"
A guard stared blankly at the head that rolled to his feet, his expression gradually distorted, and finally he dropped his weapon and turned around to run away.
Ye Hui did not kill the escaping guards and let them take the lead, which would leave a lot to be done.
…
In a relatively luxurious bedroom, a young man was awakened by screams outside the window. He stood up, picked up his one-handed sword, and walked slowly to the window.
I saw a black shadow flash past, three stunned heads flying up, and blood splashing like a fountain. Under the reflection of a blood moon, it looked particularly bloody.
The young man looked out the window at the approaching black shadow, and felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet, reaching towards the sky.
"At least...protect Arya first!"
The boy was determined that at least he would protect Arya who was 'kind' and took him in.
"Where are the other nobles?"
In the castle, Ye Hui pinched the neck of a middle-aged nobleman and spoke with a cold tone, as if the temperature in the room had dropped a bit.
"Leave...me alone, I still have...a daughter."
Hearing this, Ye Hui couldn't help but sneer. A noble who took pleasure in torture still had the nerve to beg for mercy. It was really... laughable.
Darkness spread along Ye Hui's forearm, and a shrill scream echoed in the castle. The middle-aged nobleman was devoured by the darkness and turned into a pile of debris.
Seeing this cruel scene, the beautiful woman trembled all over and collapsed on the ground, using her hands and feet to try to stay away from the source of fear.
Ye Hui stretched forward with one hand, about to release darkness to cover the beautiful woman.
"That's it! Terrorists!"
Suddenly, an energetic voice reached Ye Hui's ears, causing his actions to falter for the first time.
Ye Hui looked at his frustrated palms and followed the source of the sound.
It was a young man holding a one-handed sword. The first time he saw this young man, Ye Hui judged that this young man was not in cahoots with the nobles.
Because this young man's eyes are very bright, and they are eyes that only simple people can have. They are very different from those guards.
Ye Hui ignored the young man's words, darkness rose up along his body, and before the young man could react, he wrapped the beautiful woman.
"ah!!!"
Under the shrill screams, the beautiful woman's skin was first eaten away, then her flesh and blood, and finally her bones. After just a few seconds, the screams gradually fell silent.
"asshole!"
The young man lowered his figure and exerted force on the soles of his feet. Under the huge force, cracks were made in the floor, and he rushed towards Ye Hui with swords in both hands.
Ye Hui watched the young man rushing towards him, not evading at all. He held the knife in one hand against the one-handed sword and at the same time, his center of gravity sank.
boom!
The young man was shot out by Ye Hui like an arrow from a string, and could not stop until he was embedded in a wall.
Feeling the soreness and numbness in his forearm, although Ye Hui was holding the knife with one hand, the boy's strength was already very strong, which could at least make Ye Hui feel the soreness and numbness.
Seeing that the young man was not moving, Ye Hui turned around and left. He was not so mad as to kill anyone on sight. Everything he had to do now had to be done with a clear conscience, otherwise the progress of becoming a demon would increase.
"At least...protect Arya."
After Ye Hui left, the young man framed in the corner moved his fingers.
…
"How is it going?"
Outside the woods of the villa, a two-meter tall man wearing silver-white armor and carrying a long gun asked slowly. He was Brand, one of the members of the night attack.
"It's not clear yet. Sister Leonai and Sister Hill have already gone in first. It won't take long for the operation to begin."
A green-haired boy wearing goggles responded slowly. He was Lubbock, who was also a member of the night attack force.
"Something is wrong. The whole castle is too quiet, and now... "
A pink-haired lolita with twin ponytails holding a sniper rifle shrank her pupils and her expression gradually became serious.
"Ma Yin, what's wrong?"
"Corpses, corpses, corpses, all decapitated. This is not Sister Hill's fighting style."
"The situation on the field has changed, and it has been changed to a breakout operation."
A red-eyed girl with a long sword at her waist stood up slowly. She was the heroine of "Zhan·Red Eyes", Red Eyes.
…
In the forest, a guard was pulling Arya and running for her life, while behind him was a guard rushing towards Ye Hui.
Ye Hui turned sideways to avoid a soldier's chop, then raised his sword, and a bloodstain appeared.
The guard hiding behind the tree suddenly rose up, holding a one-handed sword and was about to stab Ye Hui's chest. Just when the sword edge was about to touch his chest, he was stopped by the darkness on his body.
Phew!
A head flew up again and landed with a thud, the expression on its face frozen in shock.
In the end, Arya escaped to the warehouse. Since Ye Hui closed the warehouse door before leaving, the warehouse was closed at this time.
Ye Hui chased all the way and came to the open space of the warehouse, and found that besides Arya, there was one more person here, the young man from before.
"He's just in time, hurry up and stop him!"
"This is too difficult."
Although the young man's tone was sad, he still drew his one-handed sword and confronted Ye Hui.
Seeing this, Ye Hui couldn't help but frown slightly. It was a great mercy for him to spare the other person's life.
And now this young man dares to fight with swords. I really don't know whether to praise him for his bravery or scold him for his naivety.
"Haven't you seen clearly the gap between you and me?"
Ye Hui said, for some reason, he really didn't want to kill this young man, and it was the same just now, as if something terrible would happen if he killed him.
"Even if you are strong, I can't escape. If you can't protect an innocent girl, how can you protect the village!"
After the words fell, as if he had strengthened his determination, the young man raised the one-handed sword in his hand, shouted loudly, and rushed towards Ye Hui.
It seemed to be menacing, but in Ye Hui's eyes, it was indeed full of flaws. The opponent's speed was too slow and was not enough to see.
Ye Hui turned sideways to avoid the one-handed sword, stretched out his left foot, and felt the touch, causing the boy to fall and gnaw on the mud.
"Tazmi!"
Just when Ye Hui was about to behead the young man with a knife, Arya yelled. Ye Hui forcibly stopped the beheading action after hearing this.
The blade stopped in front of Tazmi's neck, and just the strong wind left a thin line of blood on his neck.
"So strong~"
"who?"
Ye Hui turned his gaze and looked at the forest not far away. As for Tazmi under his knife...
It's not that Ye Hui looked down on Tazmi. Even if he stood there and let Tazmi hack him, Tazmi could only break through his defense.
"Don't be nervous, at least our goals are the same."
I saw a beast-eared girl slowly walking out of the forest, raising her hands in the air to show that she meant no harm.
"I am a member of Night Raid, Leonai. If this handsome guy is dissatisfied with the empire, do you want to join Night Raid?"
[You have received an invitation from the night attack force]
[Whether to accept]
