Chapter 93 Another Owl's Plot
An explosive arrow was fired.
Oliver struck first with a sneak attack.
boom!
The flames engulfed the owl priest, instantly consuming him.
Unexpectedly, the explosion and flames vanished in the next second.
The owl priest remained unharmed, his voice icy as he said, "I am protected by dark power; nothing in the material universe can harm me."
At that moment, Bruce threw a batarang.
Suddenly, a terrifying burst of lightning erupted.
Bruce goes out to uphold justice, and his equipment includes many highly lethal weapons.
For example, the batarangs hidden on one's body have different effects to deal with different situations.
The lightning only raged around the Owl Priest, as if protected by a magnetic shield.
With a clenched fist, lightning instantly gathered in his palm and vanished.
Bruce and the others couldn't help but feel tense.
The opponent was completely invincible, and for a time, no way to defeat them could be found.
The next moment, the Claw Warriors swarmed in.
Bruce, Oliver, Eric, and Damian immediately engaged the enemy.
The three Robins wisely hid to the side. They were not good at fighting, but they were very good at plotting and scheming. In a real fight, they would only get beaten up. Otherwise, why would they habitually tremble when they encountered Batman?
The owl priest did not rush to act, but instead stood by and watched, as if the outcome was already predetermined and no matter how they resisted, they could not change the result.
Oliver provided cover with his frozen arrows while the other three engaged in close combat, their teamwork was excellent, but they couldn't withstand the sheer number of Claw Warriors.
The death knell, which had been flying to the side, silently got up, took off his sword, and prepared to launch a sneak attack.
He doesn't pay after the job is done, and even if the King of Heaven himself comes along, he'll stab him in the back.
Pay up or pay with your life.
Deathstroke is a legendary name in the employment industry, and he has been carefully managing and maintaining it.
Bang!
A shockwave erupted from the Owl Priest.
The sudden death knell flew across the wall once again, and the expression beneath the mask was one of grimace in pain.
He has a super healing ability, but the problem still involves pain.
The moment the shockwave swept over me, it felt like being hit head-on by a heavy truck, as if all the bones in my body were crushed.
Of course, when it comes to healing abilities, his cousin Deadpool Wade is even better. He feels no pain at all, so his crazy style of doing things means he can get shot at will and still keep talking non-stop.
Deadpool is so terrifying that he can regenerate severed limbs.
He couldn't catch up, so he had to take it back and it would take some time to recover.
The only thing worth boasting about is that his brain development level is extremely high, reaching 90%.
They excel in learning, memory, and thinking.
If it weren't for the employer's sudden betrayal and terrifying power, Deathstroke might have wreaked havoc on the Court of Owls.
"Insect, I have always been on guard against you. The N-metal weapon in my hand has the effect of suppressing dark forces and killing creatures from the dark multiverse," the Priest of the Owls said bluntly without any hesitation.
These remarks were not made without cause.
Actually, the real intention was to say it to Bruce.
The first four metals require the offering to come into contact with them voluntarily, and the process requires step-by-step guidance.
Allen has clearly stated that we should not come into contact with dark metal, so as not to cause a crisis for the entire world.
The problem is, how could Bruce possibly listen to that?
If you could listen to that, you wouldn't be Batman.
As it happened, Bruce memorized it word for word and began to consider how to obtain the N-metal longsword for a desperate counterattack.
boom!
The Priestess of the Owls raised his hand and unleashed a beam of dark light, blasting the only weapon capable of harming him off the rooftop.
This move undoubtedly deepened Bruce's suspicions that the other party was afraid of N metal.
The Claw Warriors came prepared. Once frozen, their heating devices would generate heat, restoring their bodily functions and freeing them from their confinement.
"The mentally ill person is dead, are we free now?" Cobblestone asked happily.
"Finally, I don't have to play Robin with him anymore."
Edward tried to wipe off the ink from his eye sockets, which seemed to have a waterproof effect, and thought he would try it with some olive oil later.
"It's a bit of a shame he didn't die by my hand," Arthur said sullenly.
Edward and Cobblestone didn't even glance at him.
Come on, you can't even beat Batman, yet you're thinking of killing Allen. Be careful you don't burn your braids.
They may be crazy, but their strength is undeniable.
If you provoke the Court of Owls today and vampires tomorrow, without any real strength to back you up, you'd be buried a long time ago.
The situation gradually changed, and Bruce and his group's decline became increasingly apparent, with the Claw Warriors firmly gaining the upper hand.
"Batman, accept your destiny, or those around you will die one by one," the Priest of the Owls said calmly.
"Don't listen to him, we must not give up."
"There is no such thing as dying in battle, only kneeling in life; we will not rest until death."
Whatever decision you make, I will support you.
Oliver, Eric, and Damian all try to stop Bruce from making the wrong decision.
"What foolish ants..."
As the Priestess Owl spoke, a flash of sword light disappeared from her neck, and the dark force field that was supposed to protect her failed to function.
At the same time, Allen appeared out of nowhere next to the corpse of the Owl Priest.
"They padded out most of the chapter, and I still had to step in to smooth things over."
Allen, still angry, kicked the corpse twice and muttered, "Serves you right for showing off. What kind of person are you to be showing off like this? You nameless nobody."
As Allen used his grappling hooks to climb back up when he fell, he saw the N-metal greatsword fall down again.
Since it seemed that only special metals could kill the opponent, he picked it up and used it to stealthily launch a sneak attack.
With the death of the Owl Priest, the numerous Claw Warriors scattered in disarray, and there was naturally no need to continue the stalemate.
"Here's your weapon back. Get out of Gotham now."
Returning the weapon to Deathstroke doesn't mean Allen dislikes it; rather, he's worried that if he keeps it with him, the rebellious middle-aged Bruce might harbor ill intentions, which would play right into the Court of Owls' hands.
Deathstroke picked up the greatsword and walked towards the stairwell without looking back.
Gotham City is too dark; there's no point in coming back.
The villains here are unethical; they not only refuse to pay for their services but also use magic to attack people, much like unscrupulous construction site contractors.
Bruce's gaze remained fixed on the N-metal greatsword.
"Damn it, we've fallen for their trap."
Allen suddenly realized, "Batman, look at me. This is a show put on by the Court of Owls for you. Don't touch N-metal, whatever you do, don't touch N-metal. When the Dark Multiverse's Batman invades this universe, we won't be able to stop him."
Allen kept shaking Bruce's shoulders with both hands, causing his head to sway back and forth.
"Stop, I'm dizzy."
Bruce said seriously, "Don't worry, I'll always remember what you said."
Allen scrutinized him with suspicion, not believing a single word he said.
With this, the crisis was truly resolved, the vampire invasion was quelled, and the conspiracy of the Court of Owls was thwarted.
Gotham City has returned to normal.
However, the three Robins were not happy. The fact that Allen was not dead meant that they would have to continue playing the role of Robin.
The owl judges, lurking in the darkness, were quite pleased with how things were progressing.
"Sacrificing a priest to deliver the message about N metal to Bruce is truly extravagant."
"As long as the ceremony is successfully completed, any sacrifice is worthwhile."
"The next step is for Bruce to fall into the trap."
……
At that moment, a helicopter was heading towards the rooftop.
