GDK 521: The Shadow Warriors
Han Shuo suddenly woke from his contemplation and said with a somewhat awkward smile, “Don’t worry, I’m only interested in pretty girls like Hemanna and Sylph, I just had something on my mind earlier.
Nambrough heaved a sigh of relief and laughed. “Thank you for your help.”
“No need for such formalities, we haven’t broken out from the siege yet, have we?” Han Shuo turned back to look at the forces of Venomfang Castle pursuing him closely, and upon seeing some of the abyssal creatures at the perimeters of Shero regiment being slaughtered helplessly, he had to withdraw his skeletal staff and chant more incantations. Bone spears and acid bogs appeared one after the other, creating a blockade in front of the Triops pursuers.
He did not summon his sea of undead armies, nor did he tried to reverse the situation using demonic arts. All he did was exactly what he said earlier and held back the enemy for the Shero regiment.
“Very well. Hemanna, Sylph, the two of you will help our friend here. Take another hundred guards to bring up the rear, I’ll take charge of breaking out the encirclement,” Nambrough gave the order and, without waiting for Hemanna and Sylph to say another word, he flew directly to the battlefront. His arms weaved around like pythons, and wisps of dark smoke came shooting out from within, forcing the enemies from the Venomfang Castle who stood in his way to retreat.
Han Shuo was at the back, with the two pretty alien girls Hemanna and Sylph at his sides. The two young ladies stuck close to Han Shuo, working together with him to kill all their pursuers without mercy.
Blood splattered and severed limbs flew all around. The fight became even more violent with Han Shuo’s involvement. Each time he attacked, he would take the lives of several abyssal creatures at once. With the Demonic Blades in his two hands, HS wove a web of demonic light and sent them falling onto abyssal creatures. All those covered by it were chopped into bits.
The two beautiful girls at his sides, Hemanna and Sylph, kept sneaking glances at Han Shuo while they assisted him. Han Shuo at that moment became extremely attractive in their eyes.
Han Shuo looked pleased in the midst of the fierce battle, his attacks brutal and ruthless. Having two such lovely ladies at his side put him in an excellent mood, and he traded coy glances with the girls as frequently as he could.
With the addition of Han Shuo, Hemanna, and Sylph, the Shero regiment was successful in their attempt to break out. Han Shuo’s wide-area necromancy was a particularly great hindrance to the Venomfang Castle. After his Boundaries of Fear and Weakness were cast, the Venomfang Castle’s attacks became collectively slower. Due to the fear brewing in their stomachs, they were also clearly less powerful than before.
Rows of bone spears and acid bogs caused immediate destruction to the enemies from Venomfang Castle. The pursuing Venomfang Castle enemies had not even drawn near Han Shuo in all this time, and they had already lost six or seven hundred. That left the ones who had charged in front of him with great difficulty, but under the collective forces of Han Shuo and the two girls, they were very quickly reduced to bits. The hundred guards behind the trio didn’t even have a chance to lend a hand.
Things went on like that for a while, fighting and retreating. The party of Shero regiment guards led by Nambrough broke through the encirclement and left a path behind them. With that, everyone swiftly followed and cleared out of the area at top speed.
After breaking out from the encirclement, the regiment did not stop, but kept moving until they had long shaken off their pursuers far behind.
“My friend, I must thank you for your assistance, without which we would not have been able to escape the encirclement so easily,” chuckled Nambrough, who had returned from the front of the regiment only after he was certain that they were indeed safe.
His python-like arms had returned to their normal appearance, and only the hedgehog spines on his back remained. Although this alien race man cultivated in the element of darkness, he did not give off the gloomy and cold aura of dark magi like Candide. Instead, he was very bright and energized. Perhaps it was because his cultivation method was different.
At this time, Han Shuo and the two girls, Hemanna and Sylph, were flirting heavily in broad daylight. In this world where the strong were idolized, Han Shuo had gained the acknowledgement of the two girls without them realizing it. The two alluring girls from the abyssal realm were quite unreserved, throwing Han Shuo all of their many coy glances.
There was also the fact that Hemanna and Sylph were rivals, and the two of them seemed to have come to an unspoken agreement on treating Han Shuo as their new battleground, as though whoever won him over would have defeated the other. As such, both of them were extremely cordial and affectionate in how they treated Han Shuo. Han Shu was naturally living it up, chucking merrily the whole way.
