Whispering Verse

Shade asked about Sir Prisha because he did not have the means to completely kill the demon, and he could not arrange the sealing ceremony in a hurry, so he could only wait for the doctor to arrive as soon as possible.

In the concert hall across the wall, the performance continued, the moonlight illuminated the wall, and the silver sword [Night Watch] nailed to the wall shone brightly.

The demon is still wailing and groaning, and the sword has an extraordinary effect on it:

"I told him what the Chosen One is, and I inspired his desire. Even though he didn't agree to let me possess him, I still gained power from it."

"As expected, I already know. What do you know about his past?"

Shade continued to ask. Although the demon was still screaming, a weird smile appeared on his face:

"In order to obtain some rare books, he killed people. In order to learn the secrets of the past, he murdered his best friends."

Shade frowned slightly. He had to make his own decision as to whether the devil's intelligence could be trusted. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly felt the chain in his hand loosen suddenly.

Amidst the screams that almost tore his eardrums, he was surprised to see that the demon nailed to the wall actually forcibly abandoned the part of his body that was pierced by the [Night Watch] and escaped the influence of the sword. .

The "Chain of Sin" was forcibly broken free for the first time, and the howling demon gave a final warning viciously:

"If there is one more sin in the chain of mortal sin, I'm afraid I really won't be able to leave. It's such a pity, witchers of the Sixth Age, you damn guys, your ghosts are still lingering even after such a long time. . But fate is not on your side. If you have the courage, just chase after you."

The blurry black shadow melted directly inside the wall, seemingly passing through the wall and heading to the stage of the concert hall where the performance was taking place.

[Chain of Sin] wrapped around the hilt of [Night Watch]'s sword and removed it from the wall. But outside, separated by a wall, the music being played suddenly changed its tone. The originally exciting tune became depressed and low, and the sound of the violin was like sawing wood, making the majestic movement narrating the heroic epic seem like telling the story of the devil.

At the same time as the tune changed, Shade also heard the commotion. The Orthodox Church and the three major academies have deployed personnel in the concert hall tonight, and this weird music naturally attracted attention.

However, the demon that did not take advantage of Shade was still unable to deal with it for ordinary ring warlocks who did not have a restraining weapon like [Night Watch]. The eerie music did not stop, but the sounds of resistance and commotion became smaller and smaller.

Shade knew that this was an accident caused by his actions with the doctor. He could not wait to meet the doctor, and he had to solve all this trouble at this time.

Just as he was about to take a step with his sword in hand, he heard the sound of applause.

Looking suspiciously at the window, he saw a young man wearing a big green hat with feathers on the hat, holding a lyre in his arms, wearing a smart white shirt, a green jacket, bell-bottom trousers and brown leather boots. , sitting on the windowsill with a smile. The moonlight shone on the man who looked like a bard, and Shade didn't notice at all when the man appeared.

[Outlander, you have come into contact with whispers. 】

"Another relic?"

"Very good, very good drama."

The young man smiled and clapped, and motioned to Shade not to be nervous:

"Let me introduce myself. In the containment records of the [Church of Creation and Destruction], I am called the Keeper-level relic [Bard Ryan]."

He plucked the strings, as if tugging at the listener's heartstrings:

“I am always present at concerts, banquets and celebrations, providing tests and rewards for artists who perform magnificent music.”

As he spoke, he strummed the strings again, this time with a slightly higher pitch.

"Um"

Shade hesitated for a moment. He guessed that the person in front of him was probably the target of the church and the college tonight:

"I'm honored that you can take the initiative to appear in front of me, but I'm not an artist. Maybe you should go to the stage. The Zhengshen Church has probably prepared a quite grand welcome ceremony for you tonight."

"No, no, performance doesn't have to be on stage."

The bard smiled and said:

"The performance of "The Brave Fights the Demon" that you and Mr. Demon just performed with the sound of music was very good. Who would have thought that in the current era of prosperous human civilization in the Sixth Age, a young man holding a relic of a demon hunter from the Third Age would be able to How about defeating real evil spirits and demons in a deserted corner?"

He fiddled with the strings again, turned his back to the moonlight and looked at Shade with a smile:

"Actually, besides you, I also like a poet with ancient sacred blood. Unfortunately, he is not as good as you, and he left after seeing the devil, so I appeared in front of you."

Shade hesitated for a moment:

"The one you are talking about has the blood power of a wise angel?"

The bard smiled and nodded. This completely proved Shade's conjecture. The chosen person of [Knowledge and Wisdom] has the blood power of the angels. This sounds quite authoritative.

"Heroes of the Sixth Age, I can't give you a test just yet, because your music is not over yet. Defeat the demon and complete your heroic epic tonight, and I will tell you the test when the time comes."

"Defeating demons is what I want to do."

Shade clenched the sword in his hand, and walked towards the low stairs leading to the stage amid the sound of the bard who began to sing.

The main concert hall where the performance was taking place was supposed to be brightly lit and resplendent, but when Shade stepped onto the stage holding a luminous silver sword, he found that all the lights were turned off and an invisible black mist enveloped the audience.

There was only one beam of light on the stage, shining on Victor Fannie. Behind him, the orchestra controlled by the devil was playing the devil's chapter more and more crazily.

The light that lights up from time to time in the auditorium means that the battle is ongoing. Although the church has no special relics prepared to deal with demons tonight, the church is also very professional in dealing with demons.

Even though it escaped here, the devil's situation was still not good. Being exposed in front of the church is even more tragic than being hunted by a doctor.

Compared to the moment when he abandoned part of his body to escape, Victor Penny at this time actually returned to the same posture as when he first met at the Three Cats Hotel. The black mud continuously gathered at his feet, which represented the desire that was constantly being absorbed.

"Elegant occasions, cheap desires, human beings have many ideas, but nobles always want more than ordinary people."

At this time, it didn't show any signs of the embarrassment it had just now, and its body continued to expand in the shadows. When the terrifying music reached its climax, its head had already reached the ceiling of the concert hall.

"Sunshine Gun!"

At this moment, a clear voice came from the auditorium shrouded in black mist. In the dark golden light, Iluna, with the scale suspended above her head, walked through the black mist to the stage together with Miss Green, the ten-ring warlock of the Church of the Sun, the nine-ring warlock of the Peace Church, and the rather young-looking Mr. Pietro.

The exploding thunder spear opened a big hole in the chest of the huge black terrifying figure, but the big hole was quickly repaired.

Iluna looked at Shade, who was holding the sword, and nodded to him covertly. She naturally knew the [Night Watcher].

"You're done."

Shade looked up at the demon who was preparing for the final blow, knowing in his heart that this matter was over.

Iluna was able to rely on the [Night Watch] to identify who was appearing on the stage at this moment. After a little thought, the two high-level warlocks from the church also identified the famous "God Caller".

Of course, considering that the "God Caller" has always had a good reputation, but the enemy that appeared at this time was a demon, the ring magicians of the church did not say much.

They just couldn't understand why the devil would appear in the city when the target tonight was a secret keeper who looked like a bard.

"Sunshine Gun!"

"Thunder gun!"

Two lightning spears, one gold and one silver, penetrated the demon's body together, but the demon was still able to heal quickly and seemed not to be affected by the injury at all.

Amidst the roar, the demon's terrifying claws clawed at several people, but they were easily dodged. Its purpose was certainly not to easily "catch" these humans to death. When its claws touched the ground, its entire right arm exploded into black mist. The black mist spread rapidly, completely covering the entire stage.

Only the musicians playing weird music were still playing their instruments crazily, and the low and cold orchestral sound made people feel hairy in the darkness.

"Seal of Heaton!"

The black mist separated several people, and the silent Shade stabbed the sword in his hand into the ground again. And in the next second, Victor Fannie's illusory shadow appeared outside the shield flowing with golden light, embraced the shield crazily, and died with him.

Countless illusions flashed through the darkness one by one. Even the seriously injured demon's own power was still unimaginable to mortals. Those tiny whispers and whispers were still trying to corrupt Shade's soul.

"Shadow!"

Luvia's transparent figure stood in the distance, trying to hug Shade.

"Shadow!"

Professor Manning, holding a book in his hand, seemed to be inviting Shade to come over and discuss issues with him.

"Shadow!"

Detective Sparrow had a soft expression on his face and waved to Shade while wearing the same pajamas he had worn before his death.

The phantoms of his familiar friends appeared around him one by one, tempting Shade to give up his current resistance.

[Hallucination. 】

"I know."

Seeing that the phantoms of his friends had no effect, the phantoms retreated into the darkness. Then, the shadows of wealth, power and a large group of beautiful girls appeared in different directions in the darkness like traps. Although the demon that proliferates desire cannot directly seduce Shade, its power to stimulate desire and amplify emotions still makes Shade feel instinctive discomfort.

He noticed that his desire was amplifying, but fortunately he had not had too strong emotions so far.
