Chapter 47 Dark Night
There was heavy rain and thunder and lightning.
"Boom, boom!!"
Hearing the thunder from outside, the trainee priest who was cleaning the temple suddenly trembled.
"What's wrong?"
Noticing the trainee priest's pale face, the nun next to her looked at her uneasily, while the trainee priest smiled bitterly.
"I, I'm just afraid of thunder......"
As he spoke, the trainee priest lowered his head in embarrassment.
"Don't worry, this is the monastery of the Lady of the Lake."
Seeing the trainee priest's appearance, the nun also reached out and patted her shoulder.
"The Lady of the Lake is protecting us, so there's nothing to worry about."
"But, but..."
Having said this, the trainee priest looked out the window uneasily.
"Recently I heard that there are traces of undead spirits nearby... I'm a little worried..."
"………………"
Hearing the trainee priest's words, the nun next to him also fell silent. For these mortals without any fighting ability, praying for the goddess's protection is the only thing they can do. But how long can this continue?
"Boom————!!"
At this moment, suddenly, the door of the temple behind the two people suddenly opened. The two people who heard the sound turned their heads and saw a tall black figure striding in. He was wearing a huge cloak, and his body was covered with blood. They were all shrouded in pitch-black armor, and the two eyes on the ferocious and strange-shaped helmet emitted bright red light.
"You, who are you!?"
Seeing this scene, the trainee priests and nuns were startled and took two steps back hastily. Then they saw the terrifying knight open his right hand and lift his cloak, and then, a white-haired girl in gorgeous clothes, who looked like a noble lady, walked out. She just raised her head, glanced at the two of them, then withdrew her gaze and stood quietly beside them.
"Excuse me...who are you two..."
Perhaps it was the appearance of the white-haired girl that calmed the two of them somewhat. The nun hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and asked with some trepidation.
"…………"
The black knight pointed to his chest, and it was only then that the trainee priest and nun saw that there was a mark of the Holy Grail on his chest. When they saw this mark and felt the breath of the Lady of the Lake above, they were also shocked. He quickly lowered his head.
"Lord Knight of the Holy Grail!"
"No need to bother."
Facing the two people's salutes, Duanmu Huai waved his hand.
"I just came here to pick up something...Who is the manager of this monastery? I need to talk to her face to face."
"Ah, I'm going to call the dean now!"
Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, the nun was stunned for a moment, hurriedly answered, and then quickly turned around and left the temple. The trainee priest hesitated for a moment, then took out a pair of handkerchiefs from his pocket and handed them over.
"Um... Sir Knight, please wipe away the rain..."
"It's okay, this armor is waterproof, don't worry."
Duanmuhuai rejected the trainee priest's kindness and then looked around.
"Speaking of which, your defense here is really weak. I didn't even see a single guard on my way here."
"Huh?"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, the trainee priest tilted his head in confusion.
"Really? But I remember that there were many guards in the monastery. Could it be that because of the rain, everyone went to take shelter?"
"Huh?"
Hearing the trainee priest's answer, Duanmu Huai's eyes flashed, and then he looked around again. The next moment, he saw the box behind Duanmu Huai open, and then the reconnaissance servo skull flew out.
"Ah————!" The trainee priest was also startled when he saw the white skull flying in the air.
"Ride, Lord Knight, what is that...?"
"…………"
Duanmu Huai did not answer the trainee priest's question. He quickly glanced at the map that appeared in front of him and his expression changed.
"No! Come with me!!"
As he spoke, Duanmuhuai clenched his war hammer and rushed out of the temple, followed closely by Ogis. Only the trainee priest was a little at a loss, but he still followed suit.
Passing through the temple and arriving at the back courtyard of the monastery, it was now completely silent. Only the sound of pounding rain echoed in the corridor, and the rainwater flowed down the corridor eaves like a waterfall, as if the entire monastery was submerged in water. It was pitch black everywhere, and almost nothing could be seen.
"What, what's going on?"
At this moment, Duanmu Huai and Ojisi came out, and the trainee priest was shocked when he saw the scene in front of him. She remembered that when she went to clean the temple just now, the nearby rooms were still lit with lights. But now, the surroundings are completely dark and there is no sound...
Duanmu Huai strode forward, then pushed open a nearby door. Under the white searchlight, there was no one inside. There was only an extinguished oil lamp on the table, and a few clothes placed next to it, as if the owner of the room had gone out temporarily.
"Where are the people?"
At this time, the trainee priest also saw what was going on inside. She didn't care to express her shock at the glowing thing next to Duanmuhuai's head, and was stunned by the scene in front of her.
"Where is the dean?"
"Ying, it should be in her own room..."
"Lead the way!"
"Ah, it's...!"
At this moment, the trainee priest also understood that the situation was urgent and hurriedly walked forward, while Duanmuhuai and Ojisi followed behind her. They walked through the dark corridor, with only the sound of rain, and came to the other side.
"It's right over here. Going over here is the dean's room...!"
As the trainee priest walked, he turned his head and said to Duan Muhuai. However, just as she turned the corner, she suddenly bumped into someone. The trainee priest raised his head and saw that the person there was none other than the nun who had just separated from him.
"Ah, you are here, great. Where has everyone gone? Where is the dean?"
Seeing his acquaintance, the trainee priest breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked. But what the trainee priest didn't expect was that the nun who usually responded to him with a smile did not answer at this moment. Instead, she let out an indistinct roar, then suddenly lowered her head and bit at the trainee priest like a wild beast!
"Huh?"
This scene was so unexpected for the trainee priest that she didn't even realize what was going on. She just stared blankly at the other person's mouth suddenly split open, and the sharp teeth mixed with the smell of blood rushed towards her - ——The next moment, her eyes suddenly went dark.
"Clang!!"
Duanmuhuai stretched out his hand to block the trainee priest, and the nun bit down on his power armor with her wide-open mouth, immediately breaking a large piece of it. Then Duanmu Huai grabbed the nun's head with his backhand and hit it hard against the wall. Then he saw that the nun's head was smashed open like a watermelon, and blood and brains were scattered everywhere. However, even so, the nun did not give up. On the contrary, she raised her hands and grabbed Duanmuhui again.
At the same time, Duanmuhui had already reached out and took out the war hammer.
"Boom!!!"
Accompanied by the thunderous brilliance of lightning, the next moment the nun was scorched black and smoking and flew backwards, and there was no more movement.
"This, this, this..."
Everything in front of her was so sudden that the trainee priest didn't know how to face it. However, Duanmuhuai didn't give her time to think carefully. He just grabbed the trainee priest and walked directly to the end of the corridor, and then pushed the door open - ——There was blood splashing everywhere inside, but half of the body was not visible.
"Ouch...Ouch..."
At the same time, bursts of painful wails came from the passage. Everyone turned to look and saw dozens of shaky figures appearing behind them, blocking the three of them inside.
"What I hate the most is this kind of plot development!"
Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but complain and clenched his war hammer.
"Hey, are you ready? We are about to break out!"
