Chapter 47 Night

There was heavy rain, thunder and lightning.

"Boom, boom!!"

Hearing the thunder coming from outside, the trainee priest who was cleaning the temple suddenly trembled.

"What's wrong?"

Noticing the pale face of the trainee priest, the nun beside her looked at her anxiously, while the trainee priest smiled wryly.

"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 goddess of the lake."

Seeing the appearance of the trainee priest, the nun also reached out and patted her on the shoulder.

"The Lady of the Lake is protecting us, so there is nothing to worry about."

"But, but..."

Having said this, the trainee priest looked out of the window with some anxiety.

"Recently, I heard that there are traces of undead around... I'm a little worried..."

"........."

Hearing the apprentice priest's words, the nun beside her also fell silent. For mortals like them who have no fighting power, praying for the protection of the goddess is the only thing they can do. But how long can this last?

"Boom!!"

At this moment, suddenly, the gate of the temple behind the two of them opened suddenly, and the two of them turned their heads when they heard the sound, only to see a tall black figure striding in, wearing a huge cloak, covering his entire body. They are all shrouded in pitch-black armor, and on the hideous and strangely shaped helmet, the two eyes emit bright red light.

"You, who are you!?"

Seeing this scene, the trainee priest and nun were startled, and hurriedly took two steps back. Then they saw the terrifying knight spread his right hand and lifted his cloak, and then, a white-haired girl dressed in fine clothes, like a noble lady, stepped out of it. She just raised her head, glanced at the two of them, then retracted her gaze, and stood quietly by the side.

"Excuse me...the two are..."

Perhaps it was the appearance of the white-haired girl that calmed the two of them somewhat. The nun hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward and asked tremblingly.

"..."

The black knight pointed to his chest, and until this time, the trainee priest and nun saw that there was a mark of the Holy Grail on his chest. Seeing this mark and feeling the aura of the goddess of the lake above, the two were also taken aback. Hastily bowed his head.

"Master Holy Grail Knight!"

"Don't bother."

Duanmu Huai waved his hand in the face of the two people's salute.

"I just came here to pick up one thing... Who is the manager of this monastery? I need to talk to her face to face."

"Ah, I'm going to call the dean right now!"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, the nun was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly answered, then quickly turned and left the temple. The trainee priest hesitated for a moment, then took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it over.

"That...Master Knight, please wipe the rainwater..."

"It's okay, this armor is waterproof, don't worry."

Duanmuhuai rejected the trainee priest's offer, then looked around.

"Having said that, the defense here is really weak. I didn't even see a single guard on the way here."

"Why?"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, the trainee priest tilted his head in doubt.

"Really? But I remember that there are many guards in the monastery. Could it be that everyone went to hide from the rain because of the rain?"

"Um?"

Hearing the trainee priest's answer, Duanmuhuai's eyes flashed, and then he looked around again. The next moment, he saw the box behind Duanmuhuai open, and then the scout servo skull flew out of it.

"ah-----!"

Seeing the white skull flying in mid-air, the trainee priest was also startled.

"Riding, Sir Knight, what is that...?"

"..."

Duanmu Huai didn't answer the trainee priest's question. He quickly glanced at the map that appeared in front of him, and his expression changed.

"Not good! Come with me!!"

As he spoke, Duanmuhuai clenched his warhammer tightly and rushed out of the temple, followed by Augis. Only the trainee priest was a little overwhelmed, but he still followed up bravely.

Passing through the temple and coming to the backyard of the monastery, there is a dead silence here at the moment. Only the sound of pattering rain echoed in the corridor, and the rainwater flowed down the eaves like a waterfall, as if the entire monastery was submerged in water, the surrounding area was pitch black, and almost nothing could be seen.

"Why, what's going on?"

Now following Duanmu Huai and Aojis out, the trainee priest was also startled 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. But now, the surroundings are actually pitch black, and there is no sound...

Duanmuhuai strode forward, and then pushed open a nearby door. Under the white searchlight, there was no one inside, only an extinguished oil lamp was placed on the table, and a few clothes were placed beside it, as if the owner of the house had gone out temporarily.

"Where are people?"

At this moment, the trainee priest also saw what was going on inside. She couldn't care less about expressing shock at the glowing thing next to Duanmuhuai's head, and was stunned by the scene in front of her.

"Where is the dean?"

"Yes, it should be in her own room..."

"Lead the way ahead!"

"Ah, yes...!"

At this moment, the trainee priest also understood the urgency of the situation, and hurried forward, while Duanmuhuai and Auguste followed behind her. They walked through the dark corridor with only the sound of rain, and came to the other side.

"That's right here, from 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 bumped into a person suddenly. The trainee priest raised his head, only to see that it was none other than the nun who had separated from him just now.

"Ah, you are here, that's great, where did everyone go? Where's the dean?"

Seeing his acquaintance, the trainee priest also breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked. But what the trainee priest didn't expect was that the nun who always responded to him with a smile on weekdays didn't answer at this moment. Instead, she let out an indistinct roar, then suddenly lowered her head, biting towards the trainee priest like a wild beast!

"Why?"

This scene was so beyond the trainee priest's expectation, she didn't even realize what was going on, she just stared blankly at the other party's mouth split open suddenly, sharp teeth mixed with bloody breath rushed towards her— ——The next moment, her eyes suddenly went dark.

"clang!!"

Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand and blocked the apprentice priest's face, while the nun's wide-open mouth bit down on his power armor, smashing a large piece of it instantly. Then Duanmuhuai grabbed the nun's head with his backhand, and slammed it against the wall, and then saw the nun's head was smashed open like a watermelon, blood mixed with brains scattered everywhere. 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 the lightning, the next moment the nun flew out backwards, covered in charred black and smoking, and there was no more movement.

"This, this, this..."

All this was so sudden that the trainee priest didn't know how to deal with it. However, Duanmuhuai didn't give her time to think carefully. She just grabbed the trainee priest and walked to the end of the corridor, then pushed the door open— ——I saw blood splattered everywhere inside, but half of the corpse could not be seen.

"Woo... Aw..."

At the same time, there were bursts of painful wailing in the passage, and everyone turned their heads to look, only to see dozens of shaky figures appearing behind them, blocking the three of them inside.

"What I hate the most is this kind of plot unfolding!"

Seeing this scene, Duanmuhuai couldn't help complaining, and gripped the hammer tightly.

"Hey, are you ready? We are going to break through!"
