The Paladin in the Abyss

Chapter 201 Evilbane Slash

"That doesn't sound very reliable." Kalalin stroked his chin, "What does that symbol made up of three lines represent then?"

"Northwest, mountain range, stillness, extinction, grave." Lancelot shrugged his shoulders, "I guess it should mean the mountain range here, right? The thing we're looking for has obviously fallen into the valley."

"The vaguer the meaning, the easier it is to find a corresponding interpretation afterwards." Alamir was not very convinced by this, "If it were about praying to the gods, one would either get no response at all or receive clear instructions. Lady Firehair would not provide an ambiguous answer."

"Agreed. In theory, this method is of directly inquiring of heaven and earth, who knows how the world itself views the issue." Lancelot spread his hands, offering no rebuttal to the elf's comment, "So shall we head towards the north to try our luck?"@@@@

"Why not? Your intuition is always accurate." The impatient Bruto was the first to step out, heading in the direction Lancelot had calculated.

----------------------------------------

The winding mountain path was narrow in some places and wide in others, but for the most part, only allowed two people to walk side by side. The dwarf with a shield went first, followed by the human knight and succubus paladin. The scholar and the cook walked alongside each other, the latter's magic boots making her stride as effortlessly as if she were walking on flat ground. Bringing up the rear was Alamir, with a skeleton head beside him, and thanks to a mental connection with the human knight, Lancelot could be kept informed about the situation at the back of the group at all times.

As they moved, everyone was alert to any abnormalities in the surrounding environment. Lancelot also tried to focus his attention, but the omnipresent red fog seemed to have a suppressive effect on spirit perception, making it completely impossible to sense anything beyond a hundred feet.

But a hundred feet was not a short distance. Lancelot suddenly patted the dwarf on the shoulder and then raised a fist, signaling a warning to his companions.

It was not the first time this had happened today, and the group immediately drew weapons and went on alert, scanning in every direction for signs of the enemy.

"No!!!!"

The intense light made the Kas Demon with its huge compound eyes dizzy, but what truly shocked it was how a Succubus could unleash such an attack.

"Evilbane Slash!!!!!!"

The Succubus Paladin let out a crisp and firm battle cry as her Longsword, gleaming with golden light, slashed through the Demon like a sickle through wheat, cutting the Kas Demon clean in half. The searing light on the blade instantly vaporized the Demon's blood, leaving the corpse charred when it hit the ground, as if burned by fire.

All the Kas Demons were attracted by the attention. Either the destructive power contained in the Succubus's sword or the fact that this Demon was actually a Holy Warrior placed a tremendous strain on their already limited wits, causing a brief vacancy in their minds.

But for Lancelot, this brief moment was enough for him to accomplish a great deal.

The sword in the Human Knight's hand, Frostslash, emitted a green Sword Aura, as the four-foot Sword Blade suddenly grew more than double in length. He moved with a trail of afterimages, hopping vertically across the cliff face, the greenish sword light sweeping over the still-stunned enemies.

When Lancelot landed again, the Kas Demons in the sky began to split open one after another, their broken bodies falling into the endless abyss below, eventually becoming food for some lucky Demon or hitting the head of some unlucky creature.

"Couldn't you have left me a couple?" Bruto complained. He had just finished dealing with his second opponent and was looking for another target when he found there were none left in the sky.
