Chapter 24
The Wraith Steve
boom! boom! boom!
A large-caliber revolver is powerful enough to penetrate thin metal plates at close range.
No matter how high a werewolf's physical defense is, its body is covered in hair, not steel plates, so it can still get hurt and bleed.
The Fool's Path Sequence 7 Magician's strongest attack is the Air Bullet, which Chael can obtain by buying a pistol.
Roar!
The werewolf's figure flashed by quickly, and even though Xia'er had anticipated the attack, the werewolf still managed to block or dodge the bullets.
It's quite difficult to hit a werewolf that moves quickly on the ground and doesn't have airborne ability.
Fortunately, this time it wasn't just Shael fighting back. Martin also started shooting more calmly. Although his accuracy wasn't as good as Shael's, he had plenty of experience with firearms, which greatly hindered the werewolf's pursuit.
When Alice saw the gold dog collar around Martin's neck, her mouth dropped open in disbelief, and she even slowed down her running.
It was this golden dog leash that gave Martin courage and strength, allowing him to calmly fire his gun while being chased by werewolves, instead of panicking as before.
This was dug up by Chael from the garden. He originally thought he would obtain the extraordinary characteristics of the Singer, but unexpectedly, the extracted extraordinary characteristics combined with the dog chain buried with it, and became a low-level sealed artifact.
"How dare he still chase us?"
"Is there something wrong with your brain?"
Xia Er looked at Alice, who was preparing to turn around and fight back, and asked in confusion.
This is Backlund!
It's still night!
Whether this person praying for light shines a holy light into the sky or sings a hymn praising the sun, won't you just blow it up?
You still dare to chase after me?!
Xia Er didn't think about the fact that he had just provoked hatred; he just thought that these extraordinary beings of the Fifth Era were too reckless.
"Werewolves that have just killed someone are usually more bloodthirsty."
Alice grasped Chael's wrist, and a golden light shone forth, transforming into specks of golden light that dissipated onto the revolver.
This person imbued the bullet with a trace of divine power.
"Then let's beat him to death together."
"This is the territory of the Mechanical Heart. Even if we cause trouble, we can reveal our identities and resolve the issue."
Xia Er wasn't afraid at all. His current identity could withstand the investigation of the Mechanical Heart, and so could Alice. The Steam Church wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for the extraordinary members of the Eternal Sun Church.
"Then let's beat him to death together!"
Alice nodded, and after bestowing her blessing upon Martin's pistol, she took the chain from Martin's hand and held it in her own. The golden light once again illuminated the dim street, and the girl's song carried an uplifting and mysterious power.
Xia Er was moved by something spiritual. He tilted his head slightly, took a step back, and stood behind Alice, raising his gun to aim at the werewolf's leg.
In this straight alley, with no winding terrain or obstacles to conceal its form, even a Sequence 7 would find it difficult to charge up despite the suppressive fire of the "searchlight" and two special revolvers.
Alice, gripping the golden chain, began to move slowly forward. Martin, whose shots had grazed the werewolf's body several times, also followed along, encouraged by the girl's song. The sun attribute was very effective against werewolves.
Roar!
The werewolf glared at the three of them with hatred, clutched his wound, and turned as if to flee into the darkness.
boom! boom! boom!
Chael seized the opportunity and injured the werewolf's leg. The werewolf staggered, and Alice rushed over and threw the chain in her hand, trying to put it around the werewolf's neck.
Martin excitedly followed, eager to accomplish the great feat of hunting down a real werewolf.
Chael followed behind the two, his inspiration running wild, the cold wind blowing in his face seeming to transform into a hideous ghost hand.
A chilling wind, seemingly from nowhere, deflected the golden chains as they flew. The golden light around Alice dimmed, filling her with terror. She then prayed for a ray of holy light to envelop herself, Martin, and Shael, who was not far away.
Shael turned the gun away from the werewolf and aimed it at Alice and Martin, who had their backs to him.
A figure was reflected in his dark eyes; the man was wearing a black tailcoat and a dark red cloak.
This is possession by a vengeful spirit.
"I've been waiting for you."
A glint flashed in his eyes, a slight smile played on his lips, and he aimed his gun at the werewolf's arm again, firing another shot!
bump!
A flower of blood exploded!
Tyr the werewolf seemed somewhat incredulous.
You idiot, get out of here!
A hint of green light flickered in Xia'er's black eyes, and the werewolf seemed to suddenly come to its senses, enduring the pain in its body as it fled into the darkness.
"Alice, Martin, something's not right. Don't chase after them."
Xia Er put down his gun and looked at the two of them, saying.
Alice glanced at Xia Er suspiciously, then immediately cast a holy light over her. This holy light did not cause any harm; it was simply a faction assessment.
Shael remained unfazed. The Solar Path counters werewolves, zombies, and vengeful spirits, so how could it possibly counter prisoners and uncorrupted Mystic People?
He closed his eyes and waited until the light faded before opening them again.
"So close, what a pity."
"I'm a little disappointed," said Xia'er.
The living monster just ran away like that.
"yes..."
Martin also looked regretful, but as Alice stopped singing and her inspiring power gradually wore off, he suddenly realized what was happening and said:
"No, young master, this is too dangerous."
"Stop talking nonsense, let's hurry up and get out of here."
Alice grabbed one of them with each hand and hurried back the way she came, her eyes still gleaming with a faint golden light as she looked suspiciously at the dim surroundings.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think you need to stay and explain."
"First, put down your weapons."
A middle-aged man's gentle yet authoritative voice came from the intersection, and the members of the Mechanical Heart responsible for the Backlund Bridge area arrived at that moment.
In fact, they could have arrived even earlier if it weren't for some minor disturbances elsewhere.
"Yes, Your Excellency." ×3
The three of them exchanged glances. He helped Alice translate, and they squatted down to place their weapons on the ground.
As Chael stood up, a book with a black cover fell to the ground from the inside of his robe.
"Excuse me, gentlemen."
"You can put your weapons down."
"The principles don't hold up."
Shael smiled apologetically at the Mechanical Hearts squad led by Ikonser Bernard, then bent down to pick up the "Night Revelation" that he had "accidentally" dropped on the ground.
"It's okay, we understand."
When Deacon Ikonser saw the Holy Scripture of the Church of the Night, he and his team members became more lenient in their attitude.
"So, ladies and gentlemen, could someone please explain to me what exactly happened?"
Ikonser gestured for two team members to come forward. One checked the two revolvers and a low-level sealed artifact on the ground, as well as a bloodstained cane. The other went to check the charred corpse of the werewolf servant in the alley.
