The Devil Inside

Inertia pushed him to roll several times on the bluestone slabs, bruising his knees, breaking his brow bones, and blood flowing into his eyes.

He used his hands and feet to stand up and rushed towards Han Solo without waiting to stand firm.

In his rage, his strength was fully exerted. Every time Fox's foot landed, spider-web-like cracks were left on the bluestone slabs. Like a whirlwind, he jumped ten meters and swung his sword at Han Solo's neck.

Spider silk again.

This time, it didn't shoot out from the palm.

A ball of spider silk emerged at Fox's ankle, entangled several times, and then shot out on its own, with the other end resting on the shelf of the clay pottery shop.

Fox was a flying man in the air, but suddenly his body tilted and he lost his balance.

Pulled by the spider silk, he jumped with all his strength and overturned the shelves. The clay bowls and pottery jars on the shelves fell to the ground with clanging and smashed into pieces. The solid wooden shelves were also pulled out of the store and smashed to pieces on the street.

Naturally, Fox's attack also missed.

He adjusted his posture in the air, supported himself with one hand when he landed, and swung the sword with the other hand, cutting at the spider silk on his feet.

"twice!"

The spider silk broke, and Fox looked up at Han Solo riding on the horse with a sinister smile.

"I've been teased by you twice..."

Once again, he rushed!

Han Solo tried his old trick again, trying to block it with spider silk, but unfortunately Fox had re-evaluated his opponent.

Not a “junk adventurer”;

But he is a powerful enemy that you must fight with all your strength, otherwise you will be killed!

"Zheng!"

A high-frequency howl echoed through the silent streets.

Fox slashed horizontally once, and a wild sword energy surged out, cutting the spider silk into white snow.

He was born into a wealthy merchant family.

His father had high expectations for him and prepared a silver-level seal for him - "Soldier".

The Soldier is the best silver-grade seal, known as "the silver closest to gold", and is the official seal recommended by the Kingdom of Elzlia.

Anyone who holds this seal has priority in politics or military service.

"call……"

Fox let out a sigh, and there was a flame in his eyes as he looked at Han Solo.

The family fell into poverty and his father committed suicide by jumping into a lake.

The stepmother was shameless and had an affair with the housekeeper. She transferred and embezzled the remaining family property, plunging Fox into the abyss of despair.

Fox said nothing.

He first cut his stepmother into pieces, then tortured the housekeeper to death. He could not stay in his hometown even though he had killed so many people, so he fled all the way to Zethlia. Along the way, he killed seventy or eighty people, or more than a hundred people. I can't remember clearly, and it doesn't matter.

Kill Han Solo.

Win the favor of Master Adrian.

In that case...

Having everything back again isn't that far away, right?

"cut!"

With the help of the "soldier", Fox's speed increased exponentially. The sword was faster than lightning, with great force and heft, knocking down both the man and the horse.

Han Solo blocked with his sword at the last moment and successfully avoided the fatal move;

His horse was obviously unable to resist. With a crack, its body split open and the contents spilled all over the ground. The amount of blood was huge and the foul smell was overwhelming.

"Surprisingly... you actually blocked it?"

Stepping on the blood plasma and kicking open the intestines, Fox took two steps sideways.

He looked at Han Solo and said, "Who are you? You are stronger than that big guy! I should have realized it long ago... There is no weak person around the brave man."

Big guy?

Who?

The sleeve of Fox's shirt was torn, and Han Solo saw that there was a fresh wound on his left arm. It was only simply bandaged and was still bleeding.

He asked, "You are injured. And you just got injured... Who did it?"

"Garrick Stone."

"……who?"

Fox sneered, "He's just an idiot. It's normal that you don't know him. He's Master Adrian's subordinate. He caught up with me a quarter of an hour ago. I wanted to communicate with him properly, but he just scolded me. I was helpless. There was nothing I could do but make him shut up forever."

what's the situation?

Han Solo didn't know the details, but he could guess the general idea.

He said, "I think this Mr. Garrick wants to stop you from hunting me and persuade you to stop, right?"

Fox nodded: "Yes."

"You should have listened to him. Your plan is flawless. If you follow the procedures strictly, Rachel will have no chance of survival. The only possible mistake is your pursuit of me."

Han Solo looked at Fox.

He continued, "I'll kill you and take off your head, which will be irrefutable evidence. You are Adrian's subordinate, and your head can prove that this matter is related to him."

For a long time, the Principality of Zethlia had only one Marquis—

Rachel's grandfather, Leonardo "Blood Lion".

The Darkwood family worked hard to govern the country, produced many talented people, built up the territory successfully, and gained high reputation among the people. The family was rich and their subordinates were capable fighters.

Many people believe that if the Blood Lion instead of the current Grand Duke governed Zethlia, everyone’s life would be better.

It's so sudden!

The Hawke family, who have always been at odds with the Darkwood family and have some hatred towards their ancestors, have become very famous in recent years.

Viscount Hawke was promoted to earl last year. Not only is the territory he owns larger than that of an ordinary earl, but it is also adjacent to the territory of the Darkwood family.

Over the past year, the two sides have been arguing over border disputes and resource allocation issues, and have even resorted to violence, leading to small-scale armed conflicts.

If it weren't for Grand Duke Zeslia's efforts to mediate and uphold justice, there's no telling what the outcome of the war would have been.

In the game, facing the persecution against Rachel, the Darkwood family did not take any action until the very end.

Because there is no evidence to show that this matter is related to the Hawke family.

If you force yourself to attack, you will only give people an excuse to criticize you.

Grand Duke Zeslia's actions in recent years have shown that he is happy to see Darkwood suffer a setback. This must have been acquiesced to by the Grand Duke, or even promoted by him.

But it's different now.

As long as Fox's head is taken off, the Darkwood family will have a real handle and can go all out to track down the murderer!

The Grand Duke is indeed a big shot, he is the supreme ruler of the principality;

But the so-called "principality" is actually the dog of the kingdom.

When the matter comes to the King and the Grand Duke, you have to kneel down to speak!

"Really? Garrick said the same thing as you did."

Fox smiled, not caring at all.

He raised his sword and looked at Han Solo: "But I can't figure it out. Why do you all think... you can kill me? There is no more embarrassing joke than this. Your perception is too different from reality."

Han Solo drew out the Bloodthirsty Sword: "I will tell you the answer. I hope you can bear it."

Chapter 17 #017 The more ordinary, the more unique is just the ravings of an idiot

The "Soldier" seal has had many names.

"The Crucible", "Ghoul", "Thief", and for a while, it was also called "Death".

The most magical thing about this seal is that it can integrate the skills of the deceased, allowing the engraver to inherit the things that the deceased was good at during his lifetime.

The conversion rate of skills is not ideal, but as long as the quantity is large enough, it can also lead to qualitative changes.

There are many soldiers in the Kingdom of Elzlia who hold "soldiers". After a battle, the survivors in the company will use the bodies of their compatriots and inherit the will of their comrades to continue fighting.

Fox is not a soldier, but his father puts a lot of effort into buying him opportunities to “integrate skills.”

It is still an opportunity to integrate "swordsmen" who are in greater demand and have higher prices, and there are many famous masters among them.

This may sound a bit arrogant...

Fox believed that his swordsmanship was at least in the top ten in Arendelle!

"clang!"

When the long sword and the blood roar collided for the first time, Fox's palm felt numb and he felt something was wrong.

Is it a coincidence?

Han Solo's swing hit him at his weakest point, easily knocking him off balance.

He adjusted his steps and tried to fight again, but a flash of red light in front of him disrupted his plan. He frowned and was forced to choose...

Retreat and defend.

Then, there was a continuous offensive like a violent storm.

Stab, tease, and cut.

As light as a dance, as vicious as a venomous snake, under Han Solo's control, the Blood Roaring Sword came alive, and every attack carried a deadly threat.

Fox was glad that he was an expert in swordsmanship, otherwise he might not be able to see the opponent's fatal move hidden in his stance and would have died inexplicably.

Completely, suppressed.

Or when the opponent does not use the power of engraving and relies purely on his own "skills".

"My swordsmanship is ranked among the top ten in Arendelle; and you, sir - your skills are better than mine!"

"I actually think your swordsmanship is 'beautiful' and elegant!"

Fox roared in his heart. He seized the opportunity and thrust forward with two powerful swords.

The weapons collided, sparks flew and disappeared in mid-air. Han Solo took three steps back and frowned.

His left shoulder first felt cold, then hot. He looked down and discovered that he was injured.

The cold is because the iron has entered the body, the heat is because the blood is gushing out...

Fox had just broken through his sword and stabbed him!

"Skills alone are not enough. Strength is the foundation of all skills. I am sure you cannot fight against me, so I choose to break through by force. Strength can defeat skill. That's the truth."

Fox snorted and began to speak.

He is about to get serious and kill Han Solo once and for all.

Before that, he wanted an answer.

"Sir, you don't have a mystery in your womb, are you a natural swordsman? I can't imagine that you, who have superb swordsmanship, are so weak!"

the other side.

Han Solo was in no mood for conversation, he needed to admit that Fox was right.

With his swordsmanship clearly a notch higher, the only reason he couldn't end the battle quickly and was even countered was that his skill set was too bad!

If the force had been greater, Fox would have been dead;

If Agility was more, Fox would be dead too.

The swordsmanship that the Time Demon Lord brought to him was so exquisite that with his current skill level, he couldn't even display one percent of it!

even--

He might die here!
