Chapter 458: Curse Sword Family
"Bang!"
The huge noise, carrying rolling sound waves and sand and stones, spread to the surroundings.
After the sound, there were all kinds of roars and screams.
A huge circular pit appeared under the city wall.
Xia Daiti, whose body was covered in blood, was surrounded by a faint blue fluorescent light, which lifted her up and floated in the air.
Some blood stains her silver hair, adding a battlefield flavor to the heroic Xia Daiti.
She slowly raised her right hand, which was holding the head of a demon.
Hold the demon's sharp horns and lift it up.
"Valkyrie! Valkyrie!"
Such shouts were heard in several places on the battlefield at once.
Then let the other soldiers follow and shout together.
As the shouts came, the momentum of the entire battlefield began to rise.
Under Julia's control, passionate classical music spread throughout the battlefield, making everyone excited.
Such an effect was achieved because the demon killed by Xia Daiti was a demon general and a leader in strength.
Moreover, he has powerful strength and demonstrated his dominance among people of the same level in the battle just now.
In this situation, Xia Daiti confronted the demon directly at the first opportunity, and he engaged in a brute force fight with the demon.
In such a battlefield where strength was the key, the demon was suppressed and killed directly.
The brute force combat is sometimes very visually striking.
After fighting with demons for so long, almost every soldier knows that they should not fight demons head-on.
That is their strong point.
But Xia Daiti's heroic presence and the impact of his powerful kill instantly ignited the battlefield.
Taking advantage of this boost in morale, all the demons that rushed up the city wall were soon killed or driven back.
Seeing this situation, even the chaotic and bloodthirsty demons knew that now was not a good time to continue attacking the city, and they slowly retreated like the tide.
Take a short break.
Xiadaiti also turned into a blue meteor and returned to Alka's side.
"Valkyrie." Alka said with a smile as he looked at Xiadaiti beside him.
Hearing such teasing, Xiadaiti nudged Alka with his elbow and rolled his eyes at him.
At this time, Alka and Xia Daiti and others on the battlefield also understood why Xia Daiti's admiration for others last night was so strong.
Apparently during the time she was away, she became the most conspicuous flag on other battlefields.
The war with demons is cruel and desperate, especially for ordinary soldiers.
Although many soldiers have faith, cruelty and despair will inevitably penetrate into their hearts.
In this case, Xia Daiti can provide real reassurance.
And in this case.
It is also the easiest way for people to admire and worship such a strong person from the bottom of their hearts.
Even Xia Daiti was given the title of Valkyrie.
As the demonic tide receded, Alka and the others were finally able to leave the city walls and rest up.
Times like this are truly rare.
Amid the Valkyrie's praises, Xia Daiti nodded and left quickly.
…
After more than two months of fierce fighting.
In front of the anti-magic fortress, the demons' attacks began to gradually slow down, becoming slightly easier than before.
Alka and his men also began to gradually spread out to provide support in various places.
Because on some unknown nodes, it is always unclear how many demons will attack, causing increased pressure on some nodes.
When Alka came back to support again.
Greyfar found him.
Alka followed the guard who delivered the message to Greyfar's office.
"Arka, you are here, sit down."
Alka nodded, without any hesitation, and sat down at a nearby seat. He picked up the water cup beside him and drank slowly.
During this period of contact, he got to know Grayfar quite well. He was a man who looked serious, but actually hated all kinds of red tape.
Perhaps because of the situation here, most generals and soldiers only care about efficiency.
Red tape serves no purpose here and only slows down various issues on the battlefield.
In this rapidly changing place, all generals must possess the qualities to stand out from the crowd.
Sometimes you have to be decisive, which also leads to the fact that many generals here actually have great strength.
This is a matter of both pros and cons.
"You looking for me?"
Greyfart was still focused on the task at hand, but he nodded without looking up.
Then he said, "The situation in the Demon Hunting Fortress has gradually stabilized. Do you want to go to the Anti-Demon Fortress? That is the most important battlefield now.
It is also the main attacking point of the demons, and Parx is there."
Hearing this, Alka started thinking.
The so-called anti-magic fortress, as the name suggests, is obviously different from places called fortresses such as the demon hunting fortress.
Because this fortress is the core location of the entire anti-magic wall. To put it simply, the core of the entire anti-magic wall is in this fortress.
Something in there served to support the entire city wall.
The reason why the city wall has not been breached for so long is because this core can repair the city wall and allow people to make certain modifications to the city wall.
Therefore, after the node is destroyed, the core can be used immediately to extend the city wall backwards.
There will not be a problem where the enemy's advantage begins to expand rapidly due to the destruction of one node.
The anti-magic fortress also guards the largest passage.
Once that place is breached, almost the entire world, Scar, will be in danger.
When humans first began to fight against demons, it was because countless ancestors shed their blood there and built that fortress.
Grayfar basically just rotates between the Demon Hunting Fortress and the Anti-Demon Fortress.
For Greyfar, the Anti-Demon Fortress is the main battlefield, and the Demon Hunting Fortress is his resting place.
Because even if it was from the Devouring Mouth, and he led his troops to attack here, with the advantage of the fortress, Greyfar would not need to deal with it too seriously.
Remember this fortress, Greyfar can completely suppress the Devouring Mouth through his treasure, and also because of the environment here.
Therefore, even though the Devouring Mouth was the person in charge of attacking the Demon Hunting Fortress, he rarely appeared on the battlefield in person, because he knew clearly that it was meaningless.
The entire spreading battlefield is a tool for the demons to consume the vitality of the human side.
As humans are consumed, they will always reveal fatal flaws.
For demons, most of them, or even all of them, are consumable.
Exchanging ten demons for one human is a good deal for them.
During most of the attacks, Grayfar himself was not actually in the Demon Hunting Fortress. Only when the Demon Hunting Fortress needed him and faced extreme danger, he would use special means to quickly arrive here.
This was a phenomenon that Alka had observed during this period. Greyfar did not hide it, and Alka did not ask about it in detail.
"But it's too dangerous to go now. Let's wait." Grayfar suddenly thought of something and said.
"Why do you say that?" Although Alka understood, it was only equivalent to the understanding of an ordinary person.
It must be different from the understanding of someone in a high position like Grayfar.
"Because I suddenly remembered that the Devouring Mouth will definitely trip you up there.
Now it is not only our main battlefield, but also the main battlefield of the demons. The demon lord and the two commanders are all there.
Although you are very powerful now and seem to have many treasures in your possession.
But it’s still essentially five stages, isn’t it?”
At this point, Grayfield looked up at Alka. In response to this question, Alka nodded, with nothing to hide.
It can be said that almost everyone on the battlefield thought that Alka and his group were only at the sixth level in strength, because Alka and his group could kill a sixth-level demon like a chicken or a dog.
Just like before, Xia Daiti, with the help of everyone, killed the powerful sixth-stage demon with absolute suppression.
Those who are slightly stronger than Alka and the others and have a discerning eye can see that Alka and the others are still at the fifth stage in essence.
“That is the most chaotic area, and it is also where the abyss aura constantly invades, so the Devouring Mouth might really cause some trouble there.
It would be best if you wait until you reach stage six before heading to that fortress to carry out offensive and defensive missions.
After all, there is no need to use your own weakness to challenge the enemy's strength. This is a very unwise choice. I believe you can understand this with your caution.
And if you want to spread your fame, that's the best place to do it. When you reach the sixth stage, I believe you will be able to exert even more exaggerated combat power, and then you will make a name for yourself in the whole world."
Hearing this, Alka looked at Greyfar and asked the one thing he had always wanted to ask.
"I want to know one thing, why do all the powerful people in the Boundless Ocean intentionally or unintentionally spread their reputations?
Why is this? Is it related to the formula for becoming a god?"
Hearing this, Grayfar's expression became confused. He turned his head and stared at Alka, with a rare look of doubt on his serious face.
Alka could sense that what he was puzzled about was not that Alka knew the so-called formula for becoming a god. For a strong man, this thing should not be a secret.
But his doubts did not last long, and he suddenly realized.
"By the way, how many years did it take you to get from arriving at the Infinite Sea to now?"
Hearing this, Alka did some calculations and said, "More than 10 years, but no more than 15 years."
Hearing this, Grayfar nodded.
“No wonder, if you think about it carefully, the only major event you have participated in is the revival of the flower fairy.
And it is indeed only held in the Twin Islands section.”
Alka nodded, that was indeed the case.
They spent most of their time sailing on the sea and searching for treasures everywhere.
The only time they came into contact with larger forces was when the flower fairy was resurrected. Before that, they had hardly had any contact with any large forces, except for the Church of Our Lady of Communism.
If you think about it carefully, they have been wandering around the Twin Islands and the border sea area extending to the border. Generally speaking, it is still a relatively remote area.
They did not go to any well-known large islands. After all, large islands mean that the level of development is very high and the scope of their operations is very small.
They are a treasure hunting group.
You can't just dig under the foundation of someone else's building.
"That's right, I almost forgot that you are a treasure hunting team." Grayfar said.
“You are only at the fifth stage, and there is really no need to expand your reputation.
Didn't the church tell you?" Greyfar turned to look at Alka and asked.
Alka shook his head.
"Hmm..." Hearing this, Grayfar hesitated for a moment.
“This is something you will know once you reach the sixth stage of strength. Of course, powerful people will often know it and even prepare in advance.
Since the church didn’t tell you, and the Virgin Mary didn’t tell you, then I have no right to tell you these things. Maybe I hope you will know them yourself when you reach the sixth stage.”
After all, Grayfar still knew something about Alka's situation. If he spoke nonsense, he might really be punished by the Virgin Mary, which would not be worth it.
After all, this matter is neither big nor small, but it seems to be somewhat important.
"Don't be too curious, because it's not a big deal, and it won't take long for you to be promoted to the sixth stage. By then, even if no one tells you, you will know it yourself." Grayfar said.
Hearing this, Alka nodded and did not force the question. He was just curious and did not need to know.
Because their reputation has begun to spread.
Moreover, the reaction just now has already let him know some information, that is, the spread of fame does not seem to be for the purpose of becoming a god.
Obviously there are other reasons.
He is more concerned about other issues now.
"Then I want to ask, I want to know something about the Curse Blade Family."
Grayfar, who was already confused after hearing this , now looked at Arka with a face full of question marks.
He didn't quite understand why Alka was interested in this kind of thing, and it was obvious that he was asking him because Alka knew that he was one of the only remaining descendants of the Cursed Blade family.
"You want to know about my family?"
Alka nodded, and without hiding anything, he said directly: "I am a treasure hunter, so I am very interested in some historical or unknown things, including the famous cursed sword.
The weapon you used shouldn't be a cursed sword, right?"
"You have good taste to be able to see that." Gray couldn't help but laugh.
A rare smile appeared on his face, and he was obviously very happy about this matter.
"Most people, almost everyone, think that the weapon I use is a cursed sword, but just like you said, the weapon I use is not."
As he spoke, Grayfart couldn't help but reveal a look of nostalgia on his face.
He began to narrate simply: "The reason why our family is so famous is that we even got the prefix of Curse Sword. We are called the Curse Sword Family because of the scepter-level treasure called Curse Sword.
But if you know the history of the Saralan Empire, you should know that our family is actually one of the earliest generals who founded the country. We are also the first knights to follow the Saralan Emperor.
So our family has continued since that time, and the sword I use is the real family heirloom.
Almost all members of the family are qualified and suitable to possess that treasure.
However, the most famous curse sword user is one of our ancestors, who is also famous in our family.
Because he was not suitable for the family's own treasure, there were too many people, and there would always be exceptions.
But with his own strength and talent, he mastered a new treasure, the cursed sword.
He also became the most famous person in the family's history, so famous that outsiders even had a wrong impression of our family."
At this point, Greyfar couldn't help but laugh. He still admired him very much.
“It’s a pity that the cursed sword he used after that was kept in the family, but few people were able to master it.
In addition, the family's original treasure was a sword, so over time people began to believe that the original sword was the cursed sword. Isn't it an interesting thing? People are always willing to believe what they believe. "
Grayfar suddenly said.
Hearing this, Alka nodded, it was true.
"Since you want to know about the curse sword, then you must want to know the last person to use the curse sword, right?"
Hearing this, Alka nodded again.
"The person who finally mastered the construction was the commander who was responsible for resisting the demons when the empire was destroyed and the demons invaded. He was also the patriarch of the family at that time.
He is also one of the few people in the family who can master the cursed sword, and it is precisely because of this that the family's original treasure can be passed down."
"His name is Lifepaun, the commander of the Third Legion. According to the soldiers who stayed behind at the time, he and most of the commanders stayed on the front line to resist the demons. This also included most of the powerful people in the family at that time.
Probably in this area.”
Greyfart stood up and drew a circle around an area on the map behind him.
And that place was exactly where Alka and his team had set up their camp before, which shows that the demons had occupied almost most of the area at that time.
"The demons came out from here and attacked all the way here."
Greyfowl pointed to the depression in the center of the map, which was the source of the water.
The line drawn was straighter than the one in the direction of the Stone Fortress.
"The last remaining people formed a defense line on the seashore, using some small islands around them as logistics..."
Grayfar simply summarized the situation for Alka.
"I still have some records of that time here if you need them."
Alka nodded. "Thank you. That's great."
Then he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Aren't you curious about where this sword is? Or don't you want to take it back? After all, it is the symbol of your family, isn't it?"
Hearing this, Greyfar shook his head.
“That sword is just a symbol to outsiders, the real symbol is the one I use.
And... even if I get it back, what's the point? There's no Curse Sword Family anymore, and I don't have many people left.
I don't even have any sense of honor or belonging to this family.
Even if it is taken back, it will just be placed on the wall as a decoration looking back at the past. It has no meaning at all.
Now this place is no longer called the Saralan Empire, but the World Scar.
What we need is not to look back, but to look forward.”
Hearing this.
Alka was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"Thank you for your help. I'll take my leave now."
Greyfar nodded, and Alka pushed the door open and left.
