The knight in the abyss

Chapter 7 Barende

With the loud shout, two figures, one tall and one short, rushed towards the mad war demons.

Although the two of them cooperated for the first time, they showed a good tacit understanding - mainly Lancelot and Pluto.With his thick shield and strong muscles, Pluto was able to block the bites and claws of the Berserker Demon, and took time to break a few knees. Lancelot was responsible for protecting Pluto's flanks and back, and putting the cloth Luto cut off the claws that Luto didn't see, inserted the tip of the sword into the mouth of the big toad, and stepped on the brain of the fallen madman with his steel boots.

They defeated several mad war demons almost instantly, and they were about to win a big victory. Suddenly, a high-pitched whistle sounded from above.

This was the sound wave attacked by the demon overseer with his wings. The sound was loud and sharp, unbearable, and everyone had to squat on the ground with their heads up, trying to block the crazy noise.

The demons were much less affected and took the opportunity to break free from the fight.Demons have a terrifying ability to recover, and they can be seriously injured as long as they are given a while, but there are not many big toads still alive, and they are all almost maimed by Lancelot and other dwarves.

The demon overseer, like a spider, climbed down the nearly vertical pit wall and walked towards Lancelot and Blotto.

As it approaches, the terrifying sound wave becomes stronger and stronger, making people completely lose the ability to resist, and can only be slaughtered by it.This ability is almost incomprehensible to hearing mortal races, and it must be resisted at a high level of strength.That's one reason these humanoid, fly-like demons are often appointed overseers, their terrifying shrieks quickly quelling any slave revolt.

It walked step by step towards Lancelot, the human who appeared unexpectedly.If it weren't for him, that daring dwarf would have been torn to shreds, and scenes like this have been proven many times to be very effective at boosting slaves' productivity.

As for the trivial matter of the death of a mad war demon, it doesn't matter at all, after all, the mad war demon is also cannon fodder.Demon lords just waved their hands and spent a little magic power, which was insignificant to them, and hordes of cowardices screamed and were transformed into mad war demons - usually the next step was to throw them into a meat grinder. On the battlefield of , this makes the Berserker Demon with the shortest average lifespan in the entire Demon Race, less than 24 hours.

It walked in front of Lancelot and watched with satisfaction as the human in front of him covered his ears under its sonic attack, ignorant of his approach.

The humanoid fly demon raised its head, and its sharp beak, which was about half a meter long, flashed a deadly cold light, and was about to insert into the human's throat.

It looked at its prey from the corner of its eyes, and suddenly felt that something was not right. Although the human was covering his ears, his expression was not painful, and there was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

Just when it was stunned for a moment, an iron hand stretched out like lightning and grabbed the base of its sharp beak.

Lancelot actually blocked his ears with infuriating energy right away. Although he couldn't completely block the terrifying buzzing sound, at least it was no longer unbearable.

The demon he had caught struggled violently, but Lancelot's hands were like pincers and pinched it tightly.

I saw him grabbing the sharp-mouthed left hand and pulling it down, causing the demon's head to hang down, and then swinging the sword with his right hand, chopped off the demon's head directly from the body.

Seeing this, the remaining few mad war demons let out a strange cry and ran away quickly.

The decapitated body still vibrated its wings and continued to emit that terrifying scream, and Lancelot had to cut off the two pairs of transparent wings.

The world is finally quiet.

When Pluto lifted his hands holding his head and raised his head, what caught his eye was the image of Lancelot holding a head.

He held the long mouth of the demon overseer in his hands, and beside him was the headless corpse of the fly demon who had caused countless pains to the dwarven slaves for months.

Seeing that the dwarf woke up, Lancelot threw the long-mouthed head over.

"This long mouth seems to be quite sharp. Is it possible to make a short sword or a dagger?"

Pluto's eyes moved with the rolling head on the ground, and he burst into tears.The crying seemed to be contagious, and all the dwarves began to cry.

When the crying stopped, Lancelot stepped forward and patted Pluto on the shoulder.

"Are you all right?"

"Woooooooo...I...we...we're fine. I'm so...sorry..."

Pluto ran away to check on his father.The old dwarf's spirit is not bad, although he fell badly and was whipped several times, but judging from the sound of crying, there should be no serious problem.

Lancelot waited patiently for this.He couldn't imagine what this group of dwarves had gone through, but in this terrifying world, losing freedom was definitely one of the most terrifying things.

After a while, Pluto came along with his father.The old dwarf bowed deeply to Lancelot and said:

"Thank you, kind ser. I'm Barende Frostforge, a blacksmith. If it weren't for you today, we don't know how long we'd be enslaved, and my stupid son is definitely dead."

Lancelot also returned a salute:

"Your son is very courageous, and his glorious battle has inspired everyone." Then he asked a little curiously: "How do you know that I am a knight, and do you also have humans in your world?"

"My old man is well-known for his craftsmanship, and he often receives orders from human kings." Pluto answered proudly.

The old dwarf punched his small son on the head, and the force felt the dust on the ground rise, but Pluto didn't seem to be doing anything.

"In the world we came from, humans and dwarves used to fight each other, but a common enemy brought us together, and we formed a holy alliance against the attack of the orcs and the ratmen together." Barende explained, "You Your full armor shows that you are an aristocrat, and human aristocrats should be called knights."

Lancelot nodded clearly and continued to ask:

"Can you tell me about your experience? To tell you the truth, I just came to this world for a day, and I have too many questions."

Pluto and Barende opened their eyes when they heard the words, and Pluto exclaimed:

"Looking at your battle, we thought you were the legendary Abyss Ranger."

Hearing this, Lancelo said curiously:

"Abyss Ranger? What is that?"

"Good man wandering in the abyss." Pluto shrugged.

"Some people are forced to live here, but they are lucky not to lose their freedom, such as you." The old dwarf said with a sigh. "The abyss is a dangerous place, but it is also easy to make one stronger. Those who gain strength here but refuse to fall are called abyss rangers. But you can understand that there are very few such people, and Most of them live incognito."

At this time, other surviving dwarves also gathered around, and they thanked Lancelot in turn, and Barend introduced him one by one:

"This is Adrick, this is his brother Adebeck, and these three are Draeger, Dyne and Darlak..."

"We want to build a warhammer as a gift for the new king's coronation. I organized this mining team and entered an ancient mine to find the finest mithril mine."

"It's not that we're unaware of the dangers deep in the mines, but that's the only place where mithril can be found."

"We found what we were looking for in a very deep underground. In fact, we found a whole vein of mithril. Everyone was so excited that they forgot the repeated instructions from the miners' guild before departure."

"It's almost been excavated there. If a new vein is discovered, what we should do is to leave as soon as possible, rather than stay."

"Just like you humans can't resist the temptation of gold, we dwarves couldn't move when they discovered the precious veins. When we woke up, the mines behind us were gone."

"The demons wandering in the ground quickly found me and us. They seem to often arrest unlucky guys like us. Instead of tearing us to pieces on the spot, they sent us to a steel fortress on the surface and started slavery. career.”

"There we saw a large number of other slaves, most of them dwarves, but also humans, elves, and even orcs and goblins. A demon with huge wings is our master, and it drives us to collect ore and build equipment for him, Until one day another, stronger demon lord came in and hung its body on the city wall, and we had a new master."

"Things like this happen every few months, and we've been in this world for over a year until we met you."

Lancelot nodded lightly and comforted:

"The days of suffering are over, and we will surely find a way to return to the original world."

"That's almost impossible." The old dwarf's eyes darkened. "We once met an elf who was a learned scholar before he became a slave. He told us that the abyss lies below all the main planes, like a trash can, the home of all evil, fallen souls The teleportation from the upper plane is very easy, any careless mage may accidentally open a portal to the abyss world, but it is very difficult to get from the lower plane to the upper plane, at least Only with the strength of a demigod can it be done.”

When Lancelot heard the news, he couldn't help but feel deeply shocked.However, he thought about it, and he was embracing the Dao of Cultivation, and things might turn around.

"What the elf said is not necessarily correct, there may be other ways he doesn't know." Lancelot tried to make his tone sound easier. "What are your plans next?"

A small argument quickly broke out among the dwarves, and it was Barende who finally persuaded them.

"We're going to Shuangqiao Town."
