Chapter 494: Cursed Sword in Hand
Cursed Sword...
This was the treasure they found after they arrived at the Scar of the World and Alka decided to search for treasure in the first area.
Speaking of it, the treasures in the first treasure hunting area that Alka carefully selected was indeed the place where they obtained the most treasures.
It is also very suitable.
Now is finally the time to take this treasure.
We can only hope that this treasure can find a suitable person among them who can use it.
Otherwise, an orange treasure cannot find a suitable controller. Even for them, it is an annoying thing, just like the last time with the Cloud Staff.
Soon, everyone came back one after another.
Jason walked in, sat on the sofa and said, "It seems that the books we distributed have begun to increase our reputation."
Originally, they were almost well-known in this city, and now there should be no one in the whole world who didn't know them.
Especially what Lucelia wrote about their experiences with it.
Once their autobiography spreads throughout the world, they may become one of the most famous treasure hunting groups in the Expanse.
The main reason is that their treasure hunting experience was too outrageous. They obtained a lot of treasures along the way.
And these experiences are traceable.
Of course, it also means that more professional books written by each of them are beginning to spread.
"Rest for a few days, then it's time to get the last treasure."
Alka said, shaking the mirror card in his hand.
Kalande inside seemed to have accepted his fate of being sealed. He huddled in a corner, lying flat on his back and seemed to be snoring.
It seems that he has not yet realized the seriousness of the matter.
After resting for a few days, Alka and his companions left the City of Return just as the curtain of night was drawn over the sky.
They flew towards their destination on a floating mirror vehicle, which was not far from them. After about a day's journey, they finally arrived at their destination.
Just like the first time they came, there was nothing noteworthy in the barren wilderness.
Alka closed his eyes and began to carefully perceive the surrounding situation.
Compared to the last time, this time Alka's perception level and control over this area have improved because of his strength and the connection with dreams.
This time, he finally felt it. The space between the layers was not in the layer of space, but in the layer between reality and dreams.
But this mezzanine seems to be protected by something?
"What should we do?" Xia Daiti asked from the side.
Alka thought about it.
A mirror card was held between two fingers of his hand.
And in the mirror is the sealed Kalande.
A crack appeared in the mirror.
Kalande's breath began to float out from the gap.
The sealed Kalande seemed to have accepted his fate, but the moment he felt the crack, he immediately stuck to the mirror, as if trying to find out where the crack was.
Looking for a chance to escape.
As the breath came, there was an obvious disturbance in the air in front of them, and bizarre scenery began to change around them.
The breath in the dream began to spread out.
This place was obviously a weak point leading to the dreamland. The strong man who wielded the cursed sword had apparently used some method to turn this weak point into the place where he hid his inheritance.
As the disturbance changed, a thin crack appeared in space.
A long sword with a broad blade stabbed out from inside.
Then he gently scratched downwards, and the crack completely opened. A figure walked out from inside, dragging a big sword.
Only then did everyone see that the person holding the big sword was not a human, but a human-shaped mummy.
The mummy was still wearing armor, but the armor was already worn out and rotten, and traces of the battles he had experienced could be seen on the rotten armor.
"Kalande... I smell Kalande. Where is this coward?"
A hoarse voice came.
It was not the language currently spoken in the Scar of the World, but Alka had heard it before. In the Anti-Magic Fortress, it should have been the common language of the Saralan Empire.
However, he only understood the basics and barely understood what he was saying.
Polo, Rogerson and others at the back
The mummy looked at the card in Alka's hand with its empty eye sockets, then slowly approached while dragging the greatsword.
Alka sensed no hostility from him, so he simply remained vigilant.
The empty eye sockets seemed to still have eyes, staring at Kalande sealed in the mirror.
At this time, Kalande was facing the mirror, searching anxiously, still trying to find where the crack was.
Looking at Kalande, who looked like a lost dog or a bird in a cage, Alka could clearly feel the emotions emanating from the mummy in front of him.
The emotion is so intense.
“This coward who ran away actually ended up like this…hahahaha.”
His voice was extremely harsh, like two pieces of rusty iron rubbing against each other.
The mummy sat down on the ground helplessly, holding the big sword in his hand, raised his dry head and looked at Alka.
“You are not a demon, nor are you tainted by the abyss, and you still have the power of the Virgin Mary.
Young man, you brought the Kalande Seal here because you want this treasure?"
The mummy seemed to know exactly what Alka was aiming for.
After all, only this treasure is worth it.
In response to this, Alka nodded without hesitation.
"Yes, I came here just for the cursed sword."
"Although I don't know why you knew I was hiding here, and I don't know why you knew I wanted Kalande's life. But it doesn't matter." As he spoke, a sense of majesty inexplicably emanated from his empty eyes.
He asked, "Young man, let me ask you...Have you heard of the Curse Sword Family?"
Alka nodded.
"So...are there any descendants of this family left now?"
Alka nodded again and said, "Yes, and he is still at the forefront of the fight against the demons, trying to drive them out of this place."
"Hahahaha, that's good. You are worthy of being the heir of the family."
"It seems that you are quite familiar with this descendant of mine."
"Yes, very familiar."
The mummy nodded and stood up from the ground with the sword in hand.
"If you want this treasure, let me see the death of this demon."
Hearing this, Alka looked at the sealed Kalande in the mirror card, thought for a moment and asked, "Aren't you going to kill your enemies?"
"Oh? You can still let it out and ensure that he doesn't run away? You know, he once escaped from my hands like this, making me lose the opportunity to avenge my family." said the mummy.
Obviously, in order to cut off even the slightest chance of survival of Kalande, the mummy would rather not have the chance to kill his enemy.
"Of course."
As Alka spoke, a large amount of power poured into the space of the mirror. During the period when Kalande was sealed and powerless, the power condensed into different chains, piercing through his limbs and binding around his chest and abdomen.
Lucilia on his shoulder also merged her own strength into it.
The chains formed by the power of elements and dreams even bound Kalande's soul through Lucilia's power, thus fixing him firmly.
In this way, even Kalande's soul could not escape, and was firmly bound in his body, tied up with chains. These chains penetrated his body and bound his soul.
Although the process was slow, the sealed Kalande was powerless to resist, after all, the area where he was actually sealed was in the dream. And in the dream, Alka was the absolute master.
Although I couldn't hear Kalande's voice, I could see through the mirror that he seemed to be roaring and screaming.
The mirror card in his hand shattered.
A large mirrored space appeared under their feet, and then reversed to include them, including the mummy in front of them, into the reverse space.
Then, one after another, cloud creatures emerged. They were guards to prevent any accidents from happening.
In this way, Kalande would have no chance of escape, even if he committed suicide.
And as the mirror shattered, Kalande appeared in front of everyone.
Because of the chains, he fell to his knees.
As soon as he came out, he roared wildly at Alka.
"Coward, face me, let me go, and I will tear you into pieces!"
Facing his roar, Alka had no intention of paying any attention to it.
The mummy looked at Kalande and said, "Coward? Are you describing yourself? You deserter among the demons."
Hearing the mummy's words, Kalande turned his head sharply.
After seeing the mummy and the big sword in his hand, he seemed to understand everything.
"You damned human, you actually remain in this world in such an ugly state."
I have no idea how a demon has the qualifications to curse the undead.
"Please atone for your cowardly behavior and for slaughtering the weak."
As the mummy spoke, he didn't know where the power came from, and the big sword in his hand was actually activated.
The whole sword formed a strange state, and then stabbed into the demon's chest.
“Ahhhhhh!”
Kalande screamed madly, his voice filled with screams of pain.
This sword seemed to have an unknown power that seemed to be able to restrain demons, causing everyone to observe it carefully.
The power of the greatsword spread wildly, cutting the demon's soul. The whole demon was turned into ashes in a strange burning while roaring. This time, Alka didn't even see the soul.
In other words, it was completely killed.
"This sword... can actually kill the soul directly. It can kill the soul before killing the body."
Lucelia said, clearly seeing more than what everyone saw.
This way, the devil won't have even the slightest chance of escaping into the abyss.
At this time, the mummy also sat down on the ground weakly.
Holding the sword in his hand, he looked up at Lucelia tremblingly.
"Haha, little girl, you really have good taste."
"It seems... this sword suits you very well."
After he said that, he used the last of his strength to hold the hilt of the sword and threw it directly over.
Upon hearing this, Lucilia hurriedly caught it, but after her small body grasped the hilt of the sword, she almost fell down with the sword.
Fortunately, she immediately transformed into a soul and recovered to the size of a normal human before she was able to hold the sword in her hand.
"Sure enough, it suits you very well."
As the mummy spoke, its entire body began to fall apart. The corpse began to show damage and pieces of skin fell off.
He knew that he would die soon.
"Finally... what a pity." I don't know what he was sighing about, then he looked up at Alka and said.
“In that space, in the space where I stayed, there were still some family items left.
I hope you can pass these things on to the descendants of your family, thank you..."
Amid the voices of thanks, the mummy completely turned into ashes on the ground.
Seeing this situation, Alka stretched out his hand and waved a breeze, which swept up the ashes and dropped them into the container prepared by Alka.
It was a square urn that Alka had temporarily constructed using Earth cards and Fire cards.
There are no patterns on it.
After packing it up, he put it into the pocket ring, and then put the remaining broken armor into the pocket ring, waiting to give it to Grayfar later.
The world turned upside down and they returned to reality.
The cracks still exist.
Alka held the crack in place, not allowing it to be repaired by the surroundings.
Then take a look, Lucilia, who is in normal human form in soul state, is holding a big sword in her hand.
Only then did Alka have time to examine the blade carefully.
A slender handle with a huge crystal as big as a fist at the end of the handle.
You can see strange carvings on the inside of the crystal, but the crystal as a whole is rather dim.
But when the mummy used this weapon just now, the crystal was twisting and light was passing through it.
The handle is wrapped with a gray-white cloth, on which blue spells are carved in a row.
Next is the wide handguard, which is 30 cm wide.
The bottom of the blade on the net is about 20 centimeters, which is very wide.
The width of the blade narrows as it goes up until the tip of the sword. You can see that the blade is designed in a triangular shape.
The blade is engraved with dense spells, as if a book was engraved directly on the blade.
"Master it and give it a try."
Alka said.
After all, this treasure has clearly shown some characteristics of a soul, and is obviously more suitable for Lucilia.
Hearing this, Lucilia nodded and directly used the current state of her soul to transfer magic power to the blade along the soul.
The entire blade immediately began to feel different, starting with the huge crystal at the base beginning to twist and emit light.
The spells on the cloth on the handle began to glow, and those on the blade also began to light up one by one.
The entire weapon did not reject Lucilia's magic at all, but instead accepted it with pleasure. It was obvious that the compatibility of this treasure was no problem for Lucilia. The entire process of mastering it seemed extremely simple, without any exaggerated special effects.
As Lucilia took control of the treasure.
She also knew some of the abilities of this treasure, but it was obviously impossible to demonstrate these abilities to Alka and the others on the spot, so she could only describe them.
“This sword can sever the bond between the body and soul of a living being, dividing the living being into soul and body.
It is possible to kill the soul without harming the body, and it is possible to kill the body without harming the soul.
By the way, it can also strengthen the power of some spells."
This treasure appears to be unusually plain and simple, and its abilities are also very simple, but it is quite powerful.
No wonder Callander ran away.
Obviously, if this treasure is used, it will be equivalent to a sword that can kill demons.
Because the demon's soul died under this blade and would definitely not be able to return to the abyss.
Even if he dragged the remaining soul back, it would only be food for other demons and he would almost certainly die.
It's a pity that the general who held this treasure died at the very beginning.
It is hard not to wonder whether it has been targeted for a long time.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Alka said this and led everyone into the interior through the crack.
This is a space that is no different from reality, but it is closer to dreams, so the surroundings are a little bizarre, but not too abstract.
In this strange space, Alka and his friends saw a large number of demon bodies.
They were scattered in piles all around.
There is no soul left in the bodies of these demons, only the shells remain.
And in the distance you can see a pile of ashes. Those are the ashes of the soul, and the source of these ashes is obviously these demons.
"That's amazing." Jason couldn't help but say.
After all, they have been dealing with demons for such a long time, and they can simply calculate the strength of these demons when they were alive through their bodies.
From these bodies, it can be seen that none of these demons are below the fifth stage.
Alka even saw several seventh-stage demon bodies scattered around, as well as several gigantic Titans.
This could obviously form a demon army, but they were all killed by the general who wielded the cursed sword.
"Let's spread out and see."
As they spoke, the crowd dispersed.
Soon Alka found a small box, opened it and looked inside. Inside were some family portraits and some small items that seemed to be kept as souvenirs.
There are also some historical records that construct the family epic and some family-specific spells.
Obviously, the things inside represent the continuation and honor of a family.
Put it away and put it in your pocket ring.
Alka looked at the many demon bodies around him and began to throw them into the space one by one.
They are all materials that are preserved so well.
