Chapter 676 Holy Sword


    “So, what do you want me to do?”


    Duanmu Huai stared at Aurelia and asked. The latter was silent for a moment, and then took a deep breath.


    “Actually, our country has a holy sword.”


    ?Hmm, I know this. In fact, that’s what I came here for.


    “Legend has it that when our country encounters a desperate situation, a brave man will pull out the holy sword, defeat the devil, and save the country.”


    Oh, this is the first time I’ve heard of this.


    “In fact, all the ambitious people in Ruminas have tried, but no one has been able to pull out the sword.”


    Real or false?


    “So you want me to pull out that sword and attack the Demon King?”


    Duanmu Huai frowned.


    "Yes, I hope you can go to Ruminas Mountain in the west. The holy sword is inserted on the altar on the top of the mountain. As long as you can pull out the holy sword, you can destroy the devil... at least that''s what the legend says. of."


    “…It’s really troublesome, why don’t you just call us?”


    "no."


    Alleria shook her head.


    “In fact, that holy sword is also the key that our ancestors used to seal the devil. If we can’t find the holy sword, the devil’s tomb cannot be opened, and we cannot defeat the devil...”


    “Oh…huh?”


    Hearing this, Duanmuhuai nodded first, and then was stunned.


    “Wait a minute, this Demon King is still in the seal. He can’t do anything. Isn’t he one of the Four Heavenly Kings?”


    “Only the will of the Demon King can control the ancient white dragon and the dragons. The effectiveness of the seal is weakening. We must pull out the holy sword as soon as possible, open the seal, and then seal it again.”


    “Then we can do another one, right?”


    ? Duanmu Huai yawned. He had a headache when he heard about seals. Isn''t it obvious that there will be a sequel?


    ?Of course, in fact, there is no continuous game, it is just GAMEOVER.


    According to Aurelia, hundreds of years ago, Ruminas''s ancestors used the Holy Sword to seal the Demon King in the Far North, then sealed the Holy Sword in Ruminas Mountain and informed future generations. As time goes by, the effectiveness of the seal will gradually weaken, and the Demon King will be resurrected again, manipulating the monster army to launch an attack on Ruminas. At that time, a chosen hero will be found and the Holy Sword will be drawn out. Defeat the Demon King and seal it away again.


    As early as when the monster army attacked the North Fortress for the first time, Alleria had already recruited warriors from all over the country, and the results were seen. Not even one came out with a sword. But now Duanmu Huai appeared, in In Alleria''s opinion, he might be the only one worthy of this holy sword.


    “Okay, I understand, then when will we set off.”


    "Now."


    Alleria stood up directly.


    “Time waits for no one. We must take advantage of the monster legion’s opportunity to rest and head to Ruminas Mountain immediately to pull out the holy sword.”


    You seem to have never considered what to do if you can''t pull it out.


    Duanmuhuai did not object and stood up silently. He wanted to see how Aurelia planned to go to Luminas Mountain.


    ? Facts have proved that the Ruminas Kingdom is quite capable.


    “This is really interesting.”


    ?Standing on the deck, looking at the snow-covered mountains below, Duanmuhuai chuckled. Luminas did not have helicopters or special planes, but it was not without anything flying in the sky. The airship in front of me was specially called by Alleria. It looked like a sailing warship from the ancient naval battle period, but it looked like a big hot air balloon was placed on it.


    ?Duanmuhuai doesn''t care how this thing flies. Anyway, as long as it flies, it will be fine.


    “So master, you want to draw a sword?”


    Qianwei came over from behind curiously, looked at Duanmu Huai and asked.


    “Would you like a different weapon?”


    “A sword is also good, but of course for me, a hammer is the most reliable.”


    ? Duanmu Huai does not hate using swords, but the problem is that due to his size, it is difficult for ordinary swords to meet Duanmu Huai''s needs. The chainsword is quite cool, but it''s not very powerful and it''s main focus is cruelty.


    Hence, Duanmuhuai still prefers to use a war hammer during normal combat.


    ??It feels so good to feel like you will die if you hit it with a hammer.


    To be honest, Duanmuhuai doubted how big the sword was. He might not be able to hold it with one hand - it would be funny if it was similar to a toy sword.


    ?But then again, does Alleria really want to destroy the Demon King? Or are you planning to lift the Demon King''s seal?


    Recalling Aurelia''s expression and appearance when she spoke just now, Duanmuhuai also started to think about it. Her Royal Highness the Princess''s expression at that time was very calm. It was not the poker face kind, but the kind that looked very concerned about the country and the people. , at least it "seems" like that.


    ?Hmm, it looks like.


    In fact, her eyes were constantly looking everywhere. To put it bluntly, it was as if she was distracted while acting. As for what she was thinking deep down in her heart, Duanmu Huai didn''t understand - after all, he was not an illithid.


    ??The airship set off late at night. It had already been a night, so it could be said that it was indeed very urgent. Of course, considering the current situation in the North Fortress, Duanmu Huai can understand that he and Alleria have both left the North Fortress. If the North Fortress is attacked again at this time, there is basically only one way to be breached. On the way. Ogis and Qiaowei did not stay in the Northland Fortress, and most of the soldiers there were injured, and...


    Speaking of which, what is the situation inside Ruminas?


    Duanmuhuai touched his chin. Because of the ghost portal he traveled through this time, Duanmuhuai didn''t have time to figure out the situation in Ruminas. But logically speaking, in this case, domestically Materials, food and troops should be delivered as soon as possible, but Alleria seems not to have considered this issue at all, and most of the soldiers in the entire fortress are also depressed. Apart from the excitement after winning the battle at the beginning, they are now They all looked a little tired and lost.


    ?Hmm, it seems... Ruminas'' country seems to be in chaos.


    At this moment, the snowstorm gradually weakened, and the mountain peaks in front of us became clearer.


    The Holy Sword is close at hand.


    Duanmu Huai originally thought that the holy sword was placed in the temple for safekeeping. However, when he stepped off the airship, he saw a sword stuck in the center of the square in front of him - and there were several people standing next to it. A guard.


    To put it bluntly, it looks extremely sloppy and no one cares about it. "Isn''t this a holy sword? You don''t care about it?"


    Seeing this, Duanmuhuai couldn''t help but complain.


    “Aren’t you afraid that this sword will be stolen?”


    “This is a holy sword.”


    Without waiting for Alleria to reply, the black-haired maid retorted directly.


    "The sacred power emitted by this sword is enough to drive away all demons. It is impossible for demons to come here to steal the sword. Besides, if you want to steal the holy sword, don''t you have to pull it out first? And pull it out. The person who owns the Holy Sword is the owner of the Holy Sword, so there is no need to steal it."


    “That’s right.”


    After listening to the black-haired maid''s explanation, Duanmu Huai also nodded.


    ?This logic is quite smooth.


    “This is the sword.”


    While they were talking, the group of people had already arrived at the center of the square. The holy sword was stuck on the ground in the center of the square. From the appearance, the holy sword was neither luxurious nor beautiful. It looked very ordinary, and it didn’t even have a hilt. Decorated with blue flaming skulls.


    ?Hmm, how should I put it...it really doesn''t fit the name of this holy sword.


    “Just pull it out?”


    Fortunately, there are no people here, and there is no need to hold a conference, have the chairman speak, and guest speakers, and then have a standing ovation. Finally, the players enter and take the oath before drawing the sword. Duanmu Huai took a step forward and walked directly in front of the holy sword. Then he carefully Reach out.


    “It seems that the master is quite careful.”


    Seeing this scene, Qianwei whispered to Ojis, and Ojis just nodded slightly. The black-haired maid next to her looked much better at this moment. No matter what, at least it seemed that Duanmu Huai was interested in the saint of her country. There is still a certain respect for the sword.


    In fact, Duanmuhuai didn''t have any awe for the holy sword, he was just afraid that it would suddenly fall down - Duanmuhuai remembered that he had watched a TV series before, in which the brave man was played by the whole village. The whole village tried their best but couldn''t pull out the sword. As a result, the sword fell down before the brave man could put his hand on it as soon as he walked up the steps.


    As for why it wasn’t pulled out before, then… the reason is also very clear.


    Duanmu Huai didn''t want to be played as a fool like the brave man, so he patted it very carefully and shook it - well, it was very good, it was inserted very firmly, and it really didn''t look like it was put in casually.


    ?Then next, it’s up to me!


    ?Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand and grasped the hilt of the sword.


    ? Judging from the appearance of this sword, it should be regarded as a two-handed giant sword, but in fact, in Duanmu Huai''s hands, this thing looks like an ordinary long sword, and he can hold it with one hand.


    ?Then Duanmuhuai grabbed the hilt of the sword and lifted it up.


    Um? You really can''t lift it?


    What Duanmu Huai didn''t expect was that when he mentioned it casually, the sword was actually as stable as Mount Tai and couldn''t move. What kind of joke was this? With my own strength, I can hold up all the telephone poles buried in the concrete.


    “Hey, that’s interesting.”


    ?This time Duanmu Huai finally got interested. He moved his body again, grabbed the hilt of the sword hard, and lifted it up again————!


    ?Hmm, still not working.


    This is interesting...


    ?Looking at the motionless holy sword in front of him, Duanmu Huai''s expression darkened, then he clenched his fists again and roared angrily. Then he suddenly took a step forward, and saw that with Duanmu Huai''s movement, even the floor of the square in front of him began to crack. Duanmu Huai once again grasped the hilt of the sword and pulled it up with force!


    ——————!!”


    Looking at this scene, everyone was speechless for a moment, and the black-haired maid also showed a disappointed expression.


    “Your Highness, it turns out that he is not...”


    …………”


    Alleria did not speak, just lowered her brows and sighed, but at this moment...


    “Click——click——”


    Suddenly, a crisp sound came. After hearing the sound, everyone looked around hurriedly and saw that the holy sword in Duanmu Huai''s hand was slowly being raised.


    ??Is it possible that he wants to pull out this holy sword?


    Wrong!


    Looking at the raised ground in front of Duanmu Huai, everyone was shocked.


    ?What he wants to pull out is not the holy sword, but——


    "rise--!!"


    The next moment, Duanmu Huai roared loudly and raised his hands upwards. With his movement, the entire ground suddenly collapsed. Then Duanmu Huai tightened his grip on the hilt and raised the holy sword high.


    “Okay, pull it out!”


    …………Is that pulled out?”


    ?Seeing this, the black-haired maid finally couldn''t help but complain. The reason is very simple, that is, on top of Duanmu Huai''s head, in addition to the holy sword, there is also a large stone connected to the holy sword!


    ?This is not pulling out the Holy Sword at all, this is completely smashing the ground next to the Holy Sword and lifting it up!


    “How is it? Your Highness, Princess.”


    Duanmu Huai held the holy sword high, with most of its blade still buried in the rubble, and looked at Alleria.


    “That’s it.”


    …………”


    Facing the scene in front of her, Alleria couldn''t say a word at this moment.
