Chapter 269: The Divine Sword
Chapter 269: The Divine Sword
Not only that, but at the same time as the scream echoed, the Telekinesis competing with Elijah for the greenish cold light retreated like a receding tide, allowing Elijah to gain control of the weapon instantly.
Elijah barely had time to inspect the weapon before he heard a loud "bang!"
He turned his head toward the building and saw bricks scattering from the wall as a figure flew out from within.
Through the gaps in the brick wall, Elijah saw Abigail and a strength zombie, the latter poised to strike with its fist.
Clearly, the figure that had just flown out had taken a punch from the strength zombie.
At the same time, a ghostly figure burst through the broken wall, pursuing the flying figure. It had sharp claws on both hands and aimed them viciously at the figure in mid-air.
The airborne figure, horrified, desperately used a Telekinesis shield to block, but against the evolved claws of the zombie, which could cut through steel with ease, the shield was as fragile as a soap bubble, punctured with a single thrust!
"Ah~"
A piercing scream followed as the clawed zombie impaled the person completely and pressed them down onto the cement ground.
Elijah then saw clearly that the figure was a middle-aged person from Country A, with distinctive features such as a beard and hair typical of someone from Country A.
The man's appearance was quite tragic, with his chest torn and bloodied by the zombie's claws, blood oozing from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, and he was constantly wailing and cursing.
At this moment, Abigail and the other zombies emerged from the building.
When Elijah was dealing with the ghostly warrior, she had also rushed into the building.
Unfortunately, her attack capabilities were not strong, and she was delayed by two minions before managing to deal with them.
With the mental intimidation ability retracted, Abigail immediately directed several zombies to surround the most significant target among them.
It seemed that either these people from Country A were too arrogant or didn't expect Elijah and his team to be so formidable, as Abigail's control over the zombies led to a successful capture.
Soon, Daisy also dragged someone out—it was the person who had previously used mental intimidation.
Daisy's invisibility had effectively immunized her against the mental intimidation when she entered the shadow space.
When the intimidation was focused solely on Elijah, Daisy seized the rare opportunity to successfully ambush and injure him!
"Are there any other survivors inside?" Elijah asked.
"There were only four people inside. Besides these two injured ones, the other two have been dealt with!" Abigail replied, clapping her hands.
"Hmm."
Elijah nodded and then turned his attention to the greenish cold light in his hand.
It was a long sword with a fully greenish hue, about 1.3 meters in length. The material was quite peculiar; it was not made of metal but rather resembled transparent jade!
Elijah weighed it in his hand. It wasn't very heavy, but it gave him a sense of danger.
He casually performed a flourish with the sword, then thrust it into the ground with force.
The edge of the greenish sword immediately shimmered with a cold light, and the tip easily pierced into the cement floor as if it were tofu.
"So sharp!"
Elijah was amazed, understanding now why he had a sense of danger. He tried to bend the sword but found that it didn't move even slightly despite his current strength.
"This is a great find!"
Elijah continued to play with it for a while, growing more fond of it by the minute.
Elijah's curiosity was piqued. Where did these people from Country A get this sword?
He looked at the two surviving individuals on the ground.
"Which of you can speak English?"
"Fuck!" the dying Telekinesis user from Country A weakly muttered.
"Looks like you can't. Then you'll just have to wait to die," Elijah said calmly, turning his attention to the other person.
"Can you speak? If so, I might consider healing you!"
"I…I can!" The broken-legged A-country man spoke with a trembling voice due to the intense pain.
"Good. I'll ask questions, and you answer. If your answers satisfy me, I'll heal you!"
Without waiting for his consent, Elijah asked directly, "Where did you get this sword?"
"I knew Lord Isaac before… that's him!" The A-country man pointed to the nearly breathless Telekinesis user.
"Before I knew Isaac, he already had this sword. But I heard—heard that it was a meteorite from the sky that fell to the earth and formed this sword!"
"Hmm? Besides this sword, did you get anything else?"
Although the sword was impressive and held a certain allure for Elijah, he felt it wasn't calling out to him.
"This…I'm not sure. Maybe Kyle knew, but he's dead now." The A-country man glanced nervously at the kneeling warrior with his head nearly buried in his body, shivering at the gruesome sight.
Compared to this, he seemed to be the least injured. These people weren't human; they were devils! Damn Isaac, why did he send people to provoke them!
Elijah felt a pang of disappointment. If you don't know anything, what good are you?
He walked over to the Telekinesis user named Isaac, following his inner sense of urgency, and searched him.
Soon, Elijah found a ring on Isaac's neck, strung on a necklace.
The moment Elijah saw the ring, his heart raced uncontrollably. An inexplicable intuition told him this was what he had been searching for!
Elijah pulled off the ring and examined it closely. It appeared to be an ordinary ring made from an unknown stone, with no special features.
But why does it attract me?
Elijah was puzzled. The feeling vanished once the ring was in his hand. He tried using Charlotte's ability to observe the ring with spiritual sight, but found nothing unusual. However, the sword appeared enormous under spiritual sight, like a divine sword from the heavens, radiating dazzling divine light!
"What… exactly is this?" Elijah stared in astonishment, his scalp tingling!
"It looks like a talisman from mythology!" Charlotte, who had come over from the yacht, spoke with an indescribable joy.
"Talisman?!" Elijah murmured. Though it was hard to believe, he knew that myths might actually hold some truth. If it was a talisman from mythology, it would make sense for it to have such phenomena and pierce through his fourth-tier defense.
"If that's the case, the ring might also be special. It's just that I don't know how to activate or use it!"
Charlotte took the ring and inspected it with her ability but found nothing unusual.
"Perhaps we could try the blood-binding method? Many novels and films describe it that way."
