Shade's left hand drew a brilliant arc of light forward, but the enemy was too slow to block the attack.
The moonlight accurately hit the hairy man's head, almost cutting it in two.
"I win... huh?"
But the pulling sensation on the sin chain on his right hand did not weaken, and the head that was bleeding black blood was actually recovering slowly, as if time was going backwards.
"Damn, this thing is actually immortal."
Realizing this, Xia De knew that he really couldn't win.
He was about to escape again, but the shocking force from the chains suddenly weakened, and the enemy in the distance, after his head had recovered, actually walked towards him slowly. Because of the restraining effect of the chains of sin, his pace was even slower than before.
"We can only take a detour through the corridor at the other end of the stairs."
Xia De ran forward holding the chain in his right hand. When he felt that he had created enough distance, he retracted the chain and rushed forward quickly.
There was a sharp sound of breaking air behind him. Thanks to the combination of the space stabilization aura and Raglai's jump, Shad narrowly avoided the flying kitchen knife.
But the continuous high-intensity battles have made him feel exhausted, and now it is really...
"No, how can I have such a feeling when I am running for my life... Yes, laziness is affecting me."
Fortunately, the feeling of fatigue was not strong, and Shade continued to run forward. After passing the stairs, the sparks on the blood-red carpet in the twisted corridor in front were more dense, and the temperature here was also higher. It was obvious that the ring magician who manipulated the fire was heading in this direction.
The long corridor was empty without any human figures, and the heavy footsteps behind him followed closely like a messenger harvesting death. The corner of the corridor was just ahead, but the corner was actually reflecting a bright red light.
Amid the faint sound of burning, Shade also heard a sound like an animal on all fours rapidly kicking the ground, and the appearance of this sound indicated that there was a new enemy ahead.
With pursuers behind him, Xia De had no choice. He held the Eternal Youth Leaf in his mouth and walked forward quickly with the sword in hand. A hound burning with flames ran out from the other side of the corridor... ...or rather, a hound howling in pain because it was burned by flames.
Its appearance was extremely terrifying. There was clearly a human face in place of a dog's head, but the surface of its charcoal-black skin was covered with densely packed milky white bumps, which were enough to cause the most instinctive discomfort.
It rushed out from the other end of the corridor, howling madly and pounced on Shad.
The feeling of the sword driving the body reappeared. The left foot did not move, and the right foot slid to the left and back to avoid the flying hound. The body rotated by sliding, and when the body returned to the right position again, the sword was held in both hands and the potential energy of the rotation was used to swing the long sword and slash at the hound in the air.
The sword was accurate and fierce. What pounced on it was a whole burning hound, while what landed on the ground were two burning corpses.
The enemy was dealt with so easily not because Shade and the sword were too powerful, but because the hound was more seriously injured, and the person who seriously injured it was just on the other side of the corner.
When Xia De turned the corner, he saw a burning corridor. The corridor was really burning. The ceiling, walls, and floor were burning. With the heat wave, the crackling sound of burning almost made Xia De mistakenly believe that he had escaped from the scope of the strange criminal mansion.
The body of the fly as big as a human head skewered on the long sword slid to the ground. The blind nun in gray nun robes slowly turned around in the flames. Her long gray hair was not affected by the flames, but swayed behind her because of the wind.
The silver crown-shaped eye mask was facing Shade. She held a black sickle in her left hand and a gray sword that looked like stone in her right hand. On the hem of her robe and the two weapons, the red embers were flickering. This was the power of the primordial fire that the nun mastered.
The fire made everything in front of her eyes blurry, and the uneven heat distorted the air, adding some strange colors to the nun who had always been quiet and steady.
She walked towards Shade, but in fact she seemed to be gliding on the carpet. She passed by Shade in the firelight, and the sparks from the sickle touched the back of Shade's hand, but it was not hot at all.
By the time Shade turned around, the nun had already met the hairy man with two sharp blades in his hands at the corner of the corridor.
The long sword in her right hand left a fiery afterimage in the air, and it swept forward, cutting off the opponent's long sword in his left hand. As the man chopped with the kitchen knife in his right hand, she retreated as if floating backwards, dodging the blow, and then swung the sickle in her left hand, leaving a deep wound on the opponent's chest.
"fire."
Shade heard the nun sighing softly, and then fine cracks appeared on the surface of the graystone sword in his right hand. As the firelight appeared from the cracks, the graystone shell on the surface peeled off, revealing the sword made entirely of flames.
The sword itself grew and widened until it became a great sword like that wielded by a giant.
The nun thrust her sword with one hand, accurately hitting the wound that had just been cut by the sickle. The blade did not penetrate the enemy's body, but with this light blow, the opponent's feet left the ground and flew backwards.
She danced with the sword in one hand, still moving like flying. Every step forward, the fiery red light would leave afterimages in the air. With Shade's dynamic vision, he couldn't even see how many swords Sister Defulin had swung. He could only see that guy with a face full of black hair being hit by countless flames in the air.
When it finally hit the wall at the corner of the corridor, it was completely dead.
Of course, this monster is immortal, so it will repair itself after a while, but at least it poses no threat now.
The nun held the sickle in her left hand and slowly lowered the greatsword in her right hand. The flame on the sword shrank and gradually cooled until the gray stone shell wrapped around the sword again, leaving only a few sparks visible on the sword.
She slowly turned around. In the light of the fire, the intricate patterns on the gleaming silver crown-shaped eye mask were clearer than ever before. The vines wrapped around the eye symbol, and the ancient runes were hidden in the corners of the crown with the stretched leaves. This eye mask was simply a work of art.
Shade raised his hand to take off his mask to greet her, but then realized that it made no difference to Sister Develyn whether he was wearing a mask or not:
"Good morning, Mr. Hamilton."
It was the nun who took the initiative to greet him, and Xia De breathed a sigh of relief:
"Good morning, Sister Defulin. I didn't expect to meet you here. Do you want to leave together? I already know that there is an exit in the underground wine cellar."
"I have some things to do, and I came here for some fire."
She shook her head slightly, then asked:
"Do you know where the owner of the manor is? They won't tell me."
"It's on the third floor, but I suggest you don't go there. If you just want to find a trader to trade with, I suggest you go to the second floor."
He revealed the location of the room where he encountered the vampire:
"Then I wish you good luck. I will leave the underground wine cellar first. By the way, I have something else I want to talk to you about later."
This refers to the boundary of the third floor of number 6 St. Teresa's Square.
"I will wait for you outside after I leave the Sin Mansion."
"OK."
The nun nodded slightly, and then walked in the direction from which Shade came. As she walked, the fire in the corridor that had been extinguished was rekindled, but the fire had no effect on the nun with traces of embers on her body.
The reason why Shade did not suggest going with the nun was because this place was not suitable for him to wander around. The danger of the Fishbone Pirate Ship lies in the choices along the way and the last cabin, and now the Sin Mansion is full of dangers.
"However, the graystone sword in Sister Devlin's hand, I remember Grandma Cassandra said it was called Ashes, and it was angel-level like the Night Watcher, and it seemed that the sword could be used in conjunction with the nun's Primordial Fire. As expected of a leader of a large organization, Sister Devlin has a lot of good stuff on her."
With this thought in mind, Shad walked quickly along the still burning corridor where the nun came from, towards the entrance of the wine cellar.
