The Branded Female Fencer
Hall of Return (Instead), Part 28 - Evil Spirit Time
"Master Rafferty, outside!
"What's up?
"It will be night time!
What the knights outside saw was the darkness caused by the thick clouds until now, yet still giving a single light, but the sight of them being utterly rejected. The light was closed so that hope could hold, and the area was surrounded by darkness. Sisters and monks bewitched the light as they shook off their anxiety, and those in the room lit candles to increase the light.
"At witchcraft."
"You only show unpleasant signs. Do you want to stop Rambless and the butler once?
"I don't think it's worth it."
Larna looked at the door that gradually revealed itself with a rugged look. Rafferty urged one of the knights to stop Rambless and the butler, but they continued to work as if the knight had grabbed his shoulder without willingness. The knight couldn't help but butt back at its unusual power to shake off the knight's suppression.
"Lord Rana."
"Yeah... let's pull back loose. It's the first time you're here."
There's no point in Rafferty and Larna saying that either. Already the heterogeneous signs, which should also be called annoyance, were overflowing through the doors, in such concentrations that they could be gradually visualized. Rambless and the butler still continue their work, wrapped in a black misty temper.
Rafferty and the knights approached the entrance to the room, backwards one by one. All of them were making the anomalies feel more critical. The investigation of the identity and truth of the enemy was also important, but his safety was a priority above all else. Apparently, being in this room is unlikely to accomplish it.
But as Rafferty and Larna stomped in the center of the room to see it all through, it seemed that Rambless and the butler's work had finally come to an end. A doorway that swept out. It was only an easy doorway there, seemingly unchanging. The door, which would have been mounted with a surge on the wall, was undressed, but the dull black chi leaking out of the edge had made the door sufficiently intimidating if it existed.
"Sir, can you open it?
"Whatever. I'll feed your daughter."
I felt something like a strong sense of purpose in the Rambless tone I said so, but I couldn't help but remember strongly that Rafferty would not open it in his heart. And the door was easily opened to its intimidation and backside, but at that moment he was drawn to the end of the door by making sure that Rambres' body was broken into a razor-sharp letter.
And from inside, I heard screams that didn't even seem like Rambres' stuff in this world, and the sound of bones being crushed. The butler was standing on the spot for a moment of events, but when Rambless's scream broke off, he turned back to me and tried to run away with his back on the spot.
But it did not come true, and the butler was grabbed by a black object that had stretched out of the darkness, and the resistance was dragged away somewhat. For a moment the black mass was not even visible in a person's hands, but it was an instant event and not near confirmation. And as a sign that the butler had managed to resist, there were traces of scratching on the ground. Rafferty and Rana watched as the butler dragged her resistance, but as the butler's scream broke after that, Rana shrugged.
"... So, what do you do?
"Well, what?"
"Do you want to go ahead of that? At the end of the hidden door."
"No, it's something I'd like to do again if I could."
"Right... I was a little insulting too. I'm not ready to step in there. You'll need to be more prepared."
"I think so, too. This is the Holy Knight, so how can this be? That doesn't seem like it. I misread the other person's powers. This can't be fourth place, etc. It's the fifth, and most powerful, evil spirit. I've never dealt with anyone this far either."
"Then give me a temporary retreat. Coming!"
The moment Larna told him, from beyond the open door, a black object approached. That black chunk that took Rambless and the butler was apparently hair in the shape of people's hands.
When Rafferty and Larna saw their hair retreating and approaching them, the hairbrush stopped. At that moment, Rafferty and Larna flip and run out of the room with all their might. My hair is probably coming after me from behind, but I can't even afford to keep that in mind for both of us. Outside the room I could see my fellow knights screaming for me to come quickly.
Rafferty grabbed Larna's root and went out to hold her aside and roll her outside. And at the same time, when the knights closed the door of the room, the shock ran as if something had hit them, and somewhat deformed the door and stopped.
Together with the knights holding down the door, they exhaled in relief.
"Is that the lord of this' castle '?
"I don't think it's stupid, very fourth. We've made a grand physical assault and pursuit, haven't we? Aren't you self-absorbed?
"Was the information wrong?
"No, it was the supreme bishop who sent you to report it, wasn't it? That's not possible."
"But if you think about it, you knew it wasn't a normal evil spirit at a stage where you could deploy the 'castle'. With that in mind, shouldn't I have suspected you more at the stage I heard you were fourth?
"That's what I say, but..."
"Calm down!"
Rafferty drinks the knights who have begun to argue. Rafferty makes a calm voice this time to a perfectly done statement.
"Look, think about the status quo first. This enemy is powerful. We need to be ready to defeat them. Do everything you can with this person, assuming they are fifth. Don't count on the rendezvous with your people. I'll be right with you!
"Ah, Captain..."
Rafferty issued the decree, but one of the knights pointed to the door. One of the knights was holding it back when he closed the door, but his hair was crawling out of the gap. The knight who holds the door down, unaware, leaves the door behind.
"? Guys, why are you looking at me..."
"Run!"
But the cries of his companions were murmured, and the knight grabbed him by the hair before leaving the door, and his whole body was tightened up. The hair covers the knight's mouth and nose, twisting the knight up as he chokes. Hair lifting the weight of a fully armed knight. Without being able to scream, the knight twisted his whole body like a rag in front of his companion's eyes.
"Tarrs!"
"Evil spirits!
The knights who sanctified their weapons cut their hair off and cut it off, but their hair was very stiff and did not slash inside. And when the knight that was tightened was desperate, his hair retreated once again into the room.
Only the body of a knight literally chopped a thousand pieces was left outside the room. Rafferty and the others, while flattered, clothed the dead of the knight and cleansed his body with sorcery so that he would not be resurrected as an evil spirit. No one speaks a word anymore. Everyone felt strongly that they had to defeat the evil spirits in the room at all costs.
"Lord Rana, do you think you can break into this room again and stay safe?
"What a thing. But you need to be prepared for it. You will need to sanctify not only your weapons, but even your protective equipment. You may also need a procedure to sanctify this room from the outside. That hair is subjected to the power of darkness. No matter how much you sanctify the sword, you won't be able to hurt it that way. Because human hair is sturdy."
"Sure. There's nothing I can do about not doing something about that hair. The enemy base has been cracked, so let's attack carefully from here on out.
We're building a base here! Get ready!
"" "Ha!
The knights regained their original movement again with the decree of Rafferty, but Larna still remembered her anxiety. We don't know why they led us here in the first place. Originally, there should be no benefit whatsoever in exposing the enchantment startup base called Castle from itself.
Larna raised anxiety in front of an enemy she might not be able to handle.
