Chapter 525 - 270: Enchanting Demon Queen

...

...

"Head Maid Marian!"

Garrick glanced at the list and ordered,

"Regularly adding slow poison to Lord Earl’s food, this crime is unforgivable, seize her!"

"Yes!"

Two guards quickly stepped forward and restrained the sleepy middle-aged woman!

Although Garrick was not favored by Susanna, he had served at Red Griffin Castle for over a decade and had many loyal subordinates around him.

Garrick was also generous, often teaching the guards sword skills, and many guards respected him highly.

So when Garrick took the orders and made a round through the castle, most guards followed his command.

Despite the head maid’s large face and round waist, she couldn’t pry the guards’ strong arms off her, and when she opened her mouth to shout, a rag was stuffed in.

"If you honestly confess Susanna’s crimes, maybe you’ll at least have a quick death."

Garrick’s eyes were sharp, and with a wave of his arm,

"Next, Guard Gut!"

Garrick strode towards the main building, guards following closely behind, dozens of boots clattering on the cold stone pavement.

Clang clang clang!

Garrick suddenly stopped, and the guards immediately halted, drawing their longswords.

A bearded middle-aged man with over a dozen guards blocked the entrance to the main building.

"This isn’t a place for you, Garrick!"

The bearded man shouted sternly, "Get back to your kennel!"

"Susanna has been declared a traitor, an emergency order given personally by Lord Earl. I’m ordered to eliminate all her minions."

Garrick said, drawing his longsword, "Of course, that includes you, Gut."

As soon as he finished speaking, Garrick charged directly at Gut with his sword!

Sixteen years of battle experience fully erupted in that moment!

Gut just raised his sword to block, but Garrick’s longsword fainted; then, with a sweep, the blade flashed like lightning across Gut’s throat!

Blood gushed out instantly, leaving a bright red streak on the stone wall.

Gut’s eyes widened, wanting to speak but only making gurgling sounds before collapsing on the stone path!

Garrick showed no mercy, his longsword quickly danced, and after a few bouts, two more guards fell!

The other guards rushed up to encircle the remaining guards, mercilessly cutting them down one by one.

These guards were all Susanna’s personal guards, usually arrogant and oppressive; the guards were not at all soft-handed when they fought.

"Gut has been executed, next..."

Garrick was about to speak when suddenly a pink glass bottle was thrown down from the upper floor!

Crack!

The crisp sound of shattering echoed, the bottle broke into pieces instantly!

A pink smoke quickly spread around, its sweet and enticing scent drilling into everyone’s nostrils!

The scent was like a charming lady passing by, so soft and noble, that the guards couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

Garrick was very alert, instinctively stepping back a few steps,

"Be careful, it’s poisonous!"

Before Garrick finished speaking, he felt a moment of disorientation!

When he snapped out of it, dozens of castle guards were standing dazed, immersed in expressions of enchantment.

Their once-clear eyes became increasingly blurry, with a fascinating pink glow flickering in the depths of their pupils.

They wore strange smiles, as if witnessing something incredibly beautiful.

"Kill... kill him..."

One guard suddenly growled deep in his throat at Garrick, the pink glow fully turning into a terrifying blood-red!

"Kill Garrick!"

Another guard began repeating the same words, pointing his longsword at Garrick!

"Calm down!"

Garrick dodged the longsword, shouting sternly and retreating quickly,

"Stay awake, all of you!"

But Garrick’s words were useless; all the guards affected by the pink smoke began to turn towards him.

Dozens of sharp weapons simultaneously pointed at Garrick.

"Damn it!"

Garrick gritted his teeth, tightly gripping his longsword.

He knew that these guards were now controlled by the pink smoke and couldn’t understand him!

"It must be that Susanna’s doing!"

Garrick dodged the attacking swords swiftly, but he was just an advanced knight; no matter how agile, he couldn’t escape from dozens of elite soldiers just by dodging!

"I’m sorry, brothers!"

Garrick whispered, a hint of pain flashing in his eyes.

In this situation, mercy would be cruelty to himself.

Garrick swung his sword to counterattack!

The sharp blade swiftly cut through the air, drawing threads of blood, and the guards attacking Garrick screamed and fell one by one!

Garrick avoided hitting the guards’ vital parts, specifically targeting their lower bodies!

Perhaps due to the pain from the wounds, the guards on the ground gradually woke up, realizing their actions and apologizing in shock.

"Cover your nose and mouth, retreat quickly, there’s something wrong with this pink mist!"

Garrick shouted while injuring more guards.

Garrick had grown smarter, leaving wounds only on the guards’ backs and shoulders, enough to wake them without hindering their mobility.

Just as Garrick was about to continue swinging his sword, a shadow rushed from the end of the corridor!

Crack!

A sharp sound cut through the air, a nine-tailed whip lashed out like a viper, heading straight for Garrick’s face!

Garrick’s pupils suddenly contracted, instinctively raising his longsword to block.

Clang!

Sparks flew the moment the longsword and whip collided!

"What?!"

Garrick’s eyes widened!

What kind of whip is this?!

The whip came at him again, and Garrick swung his sword to block once more!
