Sword Fantasy

Chapter 8

After a day of traveling, I finally arrived at the mission location: KS Village. As soon as I walked into the village, I found that this village was unlike other villages. This village was deserted! It was very deserted! I continued walking towards the village, but still couldn't see a single villager. I couldn't help but feel suspicious. "Is anyone here? I'm an adventurer who came to help you solve your troubles. If there is anyone, please answer me!" I tentatively shouted
But all I got was dead silence. Could the village have been attacked again? The more I thought about it, the more likely it seemed. I hurriedly led my horse inside, searching bit by bit! As I pushed open door after door, my anxiety grew. Something terrible must have happened in this village in the past few days. With a teeth-grinding creak, the door behind me suddenly opened. I peeked inside in the sunlight, but it was pitch black. Just as I was about to investigate, alarm bells rang out from behind me. A three-meter-tall monster, wielding a wooden club, swung at me. I calmly drew my sword and cleaved the club in half. I quickly took a look at the monster's features. Its mouth was full of fangs, and its appearance was hideous. It was so disgusting that I didn't want to look at it again! But now, with my life at stake, I couldn't express my feelings! In an instant, I imbued my sword with shadow flames and charged at the monster, but it turned and ran away. My brows furrowed slightly, a bad feeling welling up in my chest. How did these monsters know to escape? Combined with the eerie atmosphere in the village, I felt an uneasy feeling, as if I was being watched! What was going on? It seemed I had to take a risk this time. After a moment's consideration, I set off in pursuit of the monsters.

"I want to see what conspiracy is behind you. I hope it's worth my while. Otherwise, I will make you die in great pain!" I muttered to myself.

Not long after, the monster really stopped. The ground was covered with bones, and my eyes instantly became bloodshot. Although I have no feelings for this world, seeing such a tragic scene, the bottom line deep in my heart was obviously touched! I was furious, but I was unusually calm. I don't know what was going on!

At this time, I looked at the monster again, and sure enough, another ogre appeared behind it. I felt more and more uneasy. I didn't want to think too much about it for the time being, and killed these two in seconds!
I charged straight at the two monsters. Seeing me charging straight at them, they charged at me, swinging their clubs. I dodged behind one of them in a flash. Due to the height difference, I chose to disable its mobility first. My blade, etched with shadow flames, slashed through the monster's calf, surprisingly without resistance. The monster collapsed with a scream, clutching its broken leg and tumbling on the ground. Looking up, I saw another monster reacting and casually bringing its own weapon down on my head. However, this was just a fantasy. By the time it thought I was dead, I had already followed its weapon to its head.

"Shadow Technique, Mirror Kill," I whispered, slashing with my sword. I landed on the ground, extinguishing the shadow flames clinging to the blade. I sheathed the blade. Looking back, I saw the monster had been decapitated, the wound smooth as a mirror!
"Are you sure you want to keep watching? You've been following me since we left the city. If you have something to say, it's time to show up and talk!" I said calmly.
After waiting for a while, no one responded, which made me feel even more strange! It was obvious that these two monsters had deliberately lured me here, and there was no one in the village! As I was pondering this, a pair of green eyes lit up from the depths of the woods. Those eyes seemed to come from the underworld, and the sight of them made me feel creepy!

"Warning, warning! A powerful life form has been detected! Please evade quickly!" At this moment, the system's warning sound suddenly rang in my heart.
This was the first time in such a long time that the system had issued a warning to me. My heart skipped a beat. It felt ominous. My dear, they were waiting for me right here! I couldn't advance, and I couldn't retreat! I was caught in a dilemma. I forced myself to calm down, not to reveal any flaws, lest I be attacked by that powerful being. Soon, the owner of those eyes appeared before me! Could this... could this be the... the Heavenly Demon Wolf? I gazed at this enormous form, feeling a surge of powerlessness in my heart! Was I going to die here? I was so unwilling to accept this!
"Issuing an emergency mission, using all possible means to kill the Sky Demon Wolf! Protect yourself as much as possible!" The system suddenly said
Is the system telling me to move forward bravely? Not to leave any shadows or obstacles in my heart! My mouth twitched unconsciously! With my current abilities, killing the Sky Wolf is risky, but not impossible! If all else fails, I'll just have to use that killer move! I don't really want to use it in this desolate wilderness, but what's the point if I can't even save my life!

I gathered my composure and exhaled! My gaze became resolute once more! My retreating steps froze! Seeing me no longer retreating, the Sky Demon Wolf took a step forward and roared at me! That roar resounded through the heavens! My ears were ringing, but even that couldn't dampen my resolve! I placed my hand on the knife, gathering strength in my body, ready to strike! It moved. The mountain-like form shifted, slashing a claw at me. The speed was unimaginable coming from such a massive form. Stepping back, I looked back at where I'd stood. The deep scratches sent a chill down my spine. Fortunately, I was slightly faster than it, otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to withstand the blow! I tentatively used a ranged attack: "Shadow Flame Slash." A jet-black blade darted towards its eyes! Seeing the knife coming, the Sky Demon Wolf disappeared from the spot with a move. At the same time, my heart issued a warning to me. I hurriedly dodged to the side, only to see another scratch on the spot!
I cursed in my heart. It was so big and could move so fast? Are you kidding me? How am I supposed to fight it? Actually, I knew the moment I saw it, there was no chance of escape. The only thing I could do was fight with all my might. Either I killed it, or it would eat me! I could only choose one! Even thinking about this, my body didn't stop, constantly dodging the attacks of the Sky Demon Wolf!

The only way now is to find the flaw in its attack!
