Shion After they left the royal city, they entered the mountain road directly.
This road leads to Sealing Shrine and is rarely used by people.
There were trees on both sides of the mountain road, their branches and leaves blocking most of the sky, and there were a lot of slippery moss underfoot.
Temple guards guarded both sides of the team.
The maid followed Shion, looking back from time to time.
There was still a roar coming from the direction of the royal city.
Boom!
Even from such a distance, you can hear the movement over there.
The maid looked ugly.
Shion There is no looking back.
She walked in the middle of the team, her face still expressionless.
"Speed up."
"Yes."
The guards at the front immediately moved forward to explore the way.
The team continued walking into the mountains.
Not long after, someone in front suddenly raised his hand.
Everyone stopped immediately.
Shion looked up.
I saw a few broken trees lying across the mountain road ahead.
The trunk of the tree had a very new break, and there were still a lot of freshly fallen leaves on the ground.
Ashiho's face changed.
"Protect Master Shrine Maiden!"
The words just fell.
Whoosh!
A Kunai shot out of the forest.
The guard at the front swung his sword fiercely.
Ding!
Kunai was picked out.
The next moment, the sound of breaking through the air sounded from both sides at the same time.
Whoosh whoosh!
More than a dozen Kunai shot out of the woods.
Temple guards immediately surrounded him.
Ding ding ding!
Sparks exploded in mid-air.
Shion stood still and did not move.
The maid's face turned pale and she subconsciously blocked Shion.
At this time, four black shadows fell from the trees.
They were the same people who were chasing Shion earlier.
One of them looked at the surrounding temple guards and sneered.
"There are quite a few people."
Another man shook the chain in his hand.
"Kill."
As soon as the voice fell, four people rushed up at the same time.
The temple guards immediately came over.
Ding!
The long sword and the short sword collided.
The mountain road was already narrow, so as soon as the two sides met, the teams immediately became chaotic.
A man in black pressed forward, another man came around from behind the tree, and the chain was thrown out violently.
Wow!
Chains wrapped around a guard's wrist.
The guard's expression changed, and just as he was about to cut off the chain with his sword, the man in black next to him had already rushed in front of him.
Poof!
The short knife stabbed into the chest.
The guard stiffened and fell down.
"Move forward!"
Several guards protected Shion and continued to rush forward.
The maid pulled Shion's sleeve tightly.
Shion looked back at the fallen guard.
Soon, she looked away again.
"Keep walking."
Her voice is very steady.
The maid gritted her teeth and ran forward with her.
But those men in black are extremely fast.
Two more people fell from the tree ahead, blocking the way.
Several guards rushed forward immediately.
Bang!
As soon as one of the guards rushed over, he was kicked in the chest. He flew backwards and hit a tree trunk hard.
The few remaining people roared and charged forward.
The sound of weapons clashing soon sounded on the mountain road.
Shion was protected in the middle and was forced to retreat to another path.
In the chaos, someone shouted.
"This way!"
The maid pulled Shion aside and the two of them got behind a bush.
The branches scraped against Shion's sleeves.
The maid covered her mouth, her face turned pale, and she shook her head desperately.
Shion made no sound.
She looked outside through the gaps in the leaves.
On the mountain road, there is another "Shion" who is protected by several guards and continues to run forward.
The figure looked exactly like her.
White hair, Shrine Maiden suit, even the walking posture is similar.
As expected, the man in black gave chase.
"Shrine Maiden ran over there!"
"Chase!"
Several figures quickly rushed forward.
The maid burst into tears.
She covered her mouth tightly, not daring to make a sound.
Ahead of the mountain road.
"Shion" was protected by several guards and ran forward.
The man in black behind him is getting closer and closer.
A guard turned around to block the chasing chain.
Ding!
The long knife struck the chain, sending out a string of sparks.
But the next moment, the man in black next to him had already rushed in front of him.
Poof!
The guard fell down.
"Shion" did not look back and continued running forward.
There are fewer and fewer people around him.
In the end there were only two guards left.
Ahead is a cliff.
"Shion" stopped.
The man in black behind him slowly walked up.
The leader looked at him and sneered:
"Run, why don't you run?"
Two guards stood in front of "Shion".
"Shrine Maiden Master, you go first!"
"Shion" said nothing.
He just took a step back.
The next moment, the man in black moved.
Whoosh!
The chain was thrown out suddenly, instantly wrapping around a guard's neck and dragging him forward.
Just as another guard was about to save him, a short knife had already penetrated his abdomen from the side.
Poof!
The two guards fell almost simultaneously.
"Shion" stood on the edge of the cliff with no way to retreat.
The man in black walked up to her and raised the knife.
"It's over, Master Shrine Maiden."
The sword light fell.
Blood splashed on the ground.
"Shion" shook his body and slowly fell down.
The leader squatted down and confirmed that she had no breath before standing up.
"Mission accomplished."
A person next to me asked, "How to deal with this body?"
"Just leave it here, Moryo will be resurrected soon, I don't have time to worry about her."
Several people turned and left.
A long time passed.
The cliffside became quiet again.
The wind blew through the leaves, making a rustling sound.
A faint white light suddenly appeared on "Shion" who fell on the ground.
The white hair slowly turns black.
Shrine Maiden server has also changed back to the priest server.
That face also turned into Ashiho again.
His chest was stabbed with a knife, and his clothes were soaked with blood.
His eyes were still open, staring straight at the sky.
the other side.
Behind the bushes.
The maid covered her mouth and tears kept falling.
When the scream came from the distance, her body shook violently.
Shion stood next to her, motionless.
After a while, the maid slowly let go of her hand.
"Shrine Maiden Master..."
Shion There is no looking back.
"Let's go."
The maid was stunned.
Shion turned around and walked in the direction of Sealing Shrine.
Her voice was the same as usual.
"Go and seal Moryo."
The maid looked at her back, gritted her teeth and followed her.
After taking a few steps, she suddenly saw that Shion's hands hidden in her sleeves were trembling.
In that hand was a talisman.
That is the amulet that Ashiho usually wears. He gave it to her before he left.
The amulet had been crumpled into a ball.
The maid's tears fell again.
She didn't dare to cry, so she could only lower her head and follow behind.
Shion Go forward step by step.
The mountain road below is getting steeper and steeper.
But she walked faster and faster.
Another loud noise came from the direction of the royal city.
Shion There is no looking back.
After a while, there were gradually fewer trees ahead.
In the middle of the mountain, a dilapidated ancestral hall can be vaguely seen.
There are many broken stone pillars surrounding the ancestral hall, and the ground is covered with ancient runes.
Purple-black mist gushes out bit by bit from the depths of the ancestral hall.
The maid's expression changed.
"Shrine Maiden Master..."
Shion stopped on the slope and looked at the ancestral hall.
"Arrived."
