A peerless killer possessing a cat girl assassin from another world

Outside Freedham.

Today's sandstorm is much calmer than the previous few days.

At least when people are in it, they can still see the road clearly.

Two figures, one big and one small, were walking in the sea of ​​sand.

"Uncle, where are we going?"

Inissa asked with red eyes and looking up tiredly.

Yesterday, Maglock did not stay in the city for a moment. He took Inissa directly out of the city and headed west overnight.

Inissa had been crying all the way since she left the city, and she had just calmed down.

"...a safe place..."

Maglock stared off into the distance.

In any case, I can't stay in the city any longer...

Even the embassy of the Kingdom of Faga would never allow Maglock to take a little demon girl back with him.

As for the dwarves, Maglock couldn't trust them that much. Moreover, he knew very well that more people had died in the church and they were more in the right in front of the dwarves. As long as Shay interfered and stood up to identify him, he would find it difficult to refute even if he had a hundred mouths.

After all, the one who actually killed those Templar assassins... was that desert woman... and now her whereabouts are hard to find.

Besides, even if this child can serve as a witness to prove her innocence...she is just a child, will anyone really believe what she says?

Anyway, let's move her to a safe place first...

Some things, once you decide to do them, you must do them to the end...

Maglock felt guilty towards the mother and daughter... If he had not stepped in at the time and let the bishop vent his anger, would the outcome have been different?

Thinking of this, Maglock shook his head. This was not his style... No matter how many times he had to do it again, he would definitely make the same choice.

but......

That woman... I've never heard of such a person among the desert people... Having fought with Shay, Maglock knew that this man whom he hadn't seen for ten years was now much stronger than himself.

After all, I have been in prison for too long and wasted my time...

Shay Lothar.

Ten years ago, Shay was one of the knights who was awarded the title together with Maglock in the Kingdom of Fargarh.

The two have always been in a competitive relationship and have been the champion and runner-up in military competitions for many years.

It's just that Maglock was always number one at that time, and Shay was teased as the eternal number two...

At the age of eighteen, Maglock and Shay entered the Holy Deer Valley together.

The Faga warriors who were able to enter the Holy Deer Valley for training were all elites among the elites. However, even in the Holy Deer Valley, Shay was always suppressed by Maglock. His military rank was lower than his, and the achievements he had made were far less than his.

This proves the saying: "People only remember the first place, no one cares about the second place"...

Perhaps because of this, Shay, who was already narrow-minded, gradually began to resent Maglock.

But Maglock didn't expect that Shay would actually set up such a vicious plan...

While Maglock was disgraced and thrown into prison, Shay also had his good days as the number one. He took this opportunity to be recruited by the Church of Holy Light and became the church's dirty glove... a member of the "Templar Assassin".

However, Maglock no longer cared so much about the fact that he was tricked into killing his colleagues. It had been so long, and Ruby's words before had indeed made him feel relieved.

So Shay's sudden mockery did not anger Maglock enough, but when he knew the truth, he was still very confused.

After all, when they were young, Maglock thought he had a good relationship with Shay, and Shay also acted like a friend...

It was only after I went to prison and heard about Shay's job-hopping that I began to dislike this man...

I have sworn to Your Majesty that I will always be loyal to the Kingdom of Faga...

Maglock only regretted that he didn't have enough strength to kill the traitor himself.

"Uncle, what do you see over there?"

Inesa's words brought Maglock back to reality from his memories.

Following the direction of little Inissa's finger, Maglock saw this scene:

There was a crowd of people in the sand curtain.

People? Where did they come from?

Is it the army? Or desert refugees?

In the blink of an eye, thousands of figures disappeared, leaving only yellow sand in the sky.

"Eh? Missing again?"

Inissa rubbed her eyes, trying to see clearly.

"Something is not right..."

Maglock muttered.

The area of ​​Muchashar was originally a barren land, with no permanent residents except the desert people.

No matter what strange phenomena occur, as long as it does not affect other countries, no one will care.

Never mind, maybe it's a mirage...

Just when Maglock relaxed his vigilance a little.

With a swish, a hand stretched out from the area under his feet and grabbed Maglock's ankle tightly.

Maglock reacted quickly, drew his sword, and slashed down below his body, easily cutting off the arm.

"ah!"

Turning around, he saw little Inissa beside him being caught by an arm stretched out from the sand. Maglock immediately strode forward and did the same thing, cutting off the arm.

After the arm was cut off, it turned into yellow sand in a moment and merged with the sand dune.

Immediately afterwards, one, two... hundreds of arms emerged from the sand, waving wildly, and rushed towards the two of them.

Maglock acted decisively, picked up the screaming Inissa and ran towards the Kush Mountains - outside the desert.

Those arms showed no sign of giving up, and moved towards Maglock like a tidal wave. The densely packed wagging fingers made people's scalps numb.

The speed at which these hands moved in the desert was just like that of fish swimming in water. Even with Maglock's physical fitness, he was unable to shake them off for a while.

What on earth is this?

Why is it like having a life...

Just as he was thinking about it, the sand sea in front of him rolled and several figures crawled out from it.

Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be several humanoid monsters made of sand. Mixed in their bodies made of yellow sand were the remains of unknown animals.

An unspeakable evil creature...

The figure gradually became more condensed under the construction of sand, and finally had an anthropomorphic face with complete features. Except for the eyes that were full of sand and looked a little empty, it looked almost like those common sculptures...

Maglock's first reaction was, is there a necromancer hiding nearby?

Because everything that was happening in front of and behind him looked too much like the effects of necromancy.

In the hands of several sandmen, there were still some rusty metal bars. Judging from their appearance, they might be swords that had been washed away by countless years...

There was no time to observe more, because Maglock had already rushed to the front of several sand people holding Inissa.

He changed his position and hugged little Inissa with one hand, and raised the sword with the other hand and slashed at the sand man.

Zheng! Snapped!

Unexpectedly, the Sandman's reaction ability was so fast that it raised the sword in its hand almost instantly and blocked Maglock's attack. However, because the rusted metal strip that could barely be called a "sword" was too fragile, Maglock cut it off with one sword, along with half of its body, revealing the remains of various creatures mixed in it...

Very fragile body.

With one strike of the sword, Maglock roughly understood the defensive power of this monster.

Although I don't know why, I always feel that their swordsmanship is very good...

But if it's just these few...it will be soon...

The next moment, Maglock's thoughts were changed by the cruel reality.

The sand man, with only half of his body left, naturally scattered on the ground. Farther away, hundreds of sand men crawled out of the sand sea and then stood still, completely blocking Maglock's way. Behind him, the sea of ​​arms still endlessly surged out of the sand and pounced on the two of them.

"Uncle...I'm afraid..."

Inissa's trembling voice came from my arms.

"...Don't be afraid..."

Maglock took a deep breath, tightened the sword in his hand, and had already applied several small protections to himself.

"I will definitely take you out..."
