Volume 3: Dramatic Changes in Life Chapter 168: Nightmare Forest (1)

After forcing his way through countless scents of perfume and exposed breasts, George finally left this boring banquet hall.

Although his father-in-law noticed George leaving without saying goodbye, Arthur was not worried that George would do anything extraordinary. After all, except for the small group of Crusaders who stayed behind to hold the wine at the banquet, the rest of the troops were doing their own thing. Employees take turns guarding the city, and even if an unexpected situation occurs, they will report it in time.

After leaving the banquet hall for a while, George dared to use his special skill-the art of mist-dissolving to speed up. The first thing George returned to was the tavern where he stayed before. As George expected, according to the clerk guarding the stable, George's black horse suddenly escaped from the stable more than ten minutes ago, as if it was frightened. The clerk immediately chased after him, but the black horse just ran around a corner and disappeared.

"After I caught up with him, I couldn't see any shadow at all, but I could still hear the sound of the horse's hooves falling further and further away. It felt weird!" These were the store clerk's exact words.

Can't see the shadow? Does too much speed cause afterimages, or can the Nightmare Beast itself become invisible at night? Although George was confused about this, it did not prevent him from finding Xantos, the King of Nightmare Beasts.

Unlike unicorns who control life and nature, the Nightmare Beast, whose mind is always full of unreasonable anger, has a dark constitution, so he can cast special death spells, which are the Nightmare Beast's racial secrets—— fear.

George, who has learned a round of death spells, is now particularly sensitive to the dark magic in the air. The areas where Xantos runs will leave traces of dark magic fluctuations. As long as he tracks this dark magic, he will Xanthos can be found successfully.

George concentrated his energy and kept searching along the main road. Along the way, except for the patrolling Crusaders and the carriages of squire nobles returning home from the city hall meeting with a smell of wine and disappointment, George basically encountered no living people.

But seeing the relaxed look on the Crusader's face when patrolling, George couldn't help but wonder whether Xantos had really become invisible. Otherwise, according to Arthur's emphasis on the King of Nightmare Beasts, the entire city would have been on alert by this time.

Before he knew it, George had wandered around and walked a long way. However, when George pursued the dark magic all the way and reached a forest near the side wall of the fortress, he could no longer continue tracking.

Because the entire forest in front of George exudes strong dark magic.

"Please don't go any further, Mr. George."

The sudden sound startled George. Out of instinct, George took out the Vampire's Kiss. ​​When he took the hilt of the sword into his hand, the blood-red lines on the dagger began to flicker brightly and dimly. .

Although George also tried to play with it when he just bought it from Arthur. This third-level magic weapon-level sword is just like an ordinary dagger, but George now feels that this Vampire's Kiss It seemed to be integrated with his body, as smooth as an old friend who had been using it for more than ten years.

"Please don't be nervous, it's me, General Arthur's adjutant, Alice Tallis." Alice walked out of the darkness.
