In the battlefield

Under the passage of time, Boris, who was originally pressed by the puppet, has long since lost the majesty of the previous moment, the single horn on his head has been broken, and the protruding shark face has left a bloody hole, and most of the flesh and blood are missing, only two of the six claws are left, and half of the tail is missing, and he is being pressed to the ground by the cursed puppet to gnaw wantonly.

'Tearing'

A large piece of flesh was ripped off from his chest, and the blue-black scales with a human face resurfaced on the puppet's body, and the human face grinned and let out a roar similar to joy and indistinctness: "Sean Morrison..."

"Shit. ”

Hearing his name ring, Sean couldn't help but scold, and at the same time a bad premonition rose in his heart.

This puppet is so weird.

It can attack unharmed by Boris's claw tear or lightning storm, and even if it is reduced to splinters, it can recover in the next second, like a disembodied ghost, you can't attack it, but it can kill you.

"Lance, it's almost time. Looking at Boris, who basically had no room for resistance, Elf's calm voice suddenly sounded, and then he commanded the Star Lion beside him to prepare to join the battlefield where the situation gradually became obvious, and said, "Good work, Lord Leo. ”

The lion, known as Leo, glared at him with golden eyes and threw himself into battle with his four legs raised in the sand, but his target was not Boris, but the cursed puppet.

Shaun was not surprised by the target of the Star Lion, the captain had told him about the danger of the Muppet early on, after all, things that belonged to seals would have more or less certain negative abilities.

What really interested was the name of the lion, originally he thought that the captain had summoned just a magical illusion, but judging from its performance, the male lion must have a high level of intelligence, and it was its name that really made Sean care.

Leo?

Leo names?

The name Leo is said to be the guardian of the goddess of the night, with the form of a lion, and the twelve constellations composed of eleven other guards are guarded in the goddess's divine domain, in other words, the twelve constellations in the sky are their incarnation in the 'astral plane'.

Therefore, he couldn't help but look at the captain a little strangely, even if he was a devout believer in the night, with his fourth-rank 'nightmare', he couldn't summon the legendary divine servant, but the name of the lion was in front of him again.

The fifth rule of the Magician's Rule: In the occult, no name should be taken lightly as a god.

Is it because of the crown and scepter on him?

High-quality seals?

It's just that the style is a little weird...

"Mr. Sean, don't get distracted on the battlefield. Sensing Sean Gouri's strange gaze, Elf's gentle voice came straight into his head and interrupted his train of thought.

"I'm sorry, I'm just curious about the name Leo. Sean honestly told Elf his conjecture, and looked at the glittering crown above his head.

Well...

This crown doesn't look like it's meant for men.

Elf glared at Sean fiercely along the line, and a still gentle voice came into his head, "He is one of the goddess's guards, the incarnation of Leo, and I must warn you, Mr. Sean, that your curiosity is too heavy. ”

"I see, Captain. Hearing the captain's teachings, Sean immediately withdrew his gaze and said sincerely, but the conjecture in his heart became more and more affirmative.

The captain really cares about the shape of the crown.

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but cast another ray of my gaze and floated to the crown to observe.

"Sometimes I wish you were as smart as Mr. Lance. The captain couldn't bear it anymore, and the corners of his mouth opened and closed, and a 'gentle' voice made Sean feel chills.

"Ah, Captain, did you call me?" Lance, who was about to leave when he was holding the two sharp claws left by Boris before in the distance, couldn't help but turn his head and ask when he heard Elf call his name: "I didn't tell Mr. Sean that the 'Silver Moon Crown' is a women's crown, and besides, who called it was cast by His Majesty Marpel, you don't know who she is, hey, captain don't shoot, your own people." ”

Sean looked at the captain who suddenly pulled out his pistol and pointed it at Lance, and quickly withdrew his gaze, pretending to be a mature gentleman, not saying a word, and besides, he couldn't hear it anyway.

Putting away the out-of-tune Lance, Elf turned his head to look at the steady Sean, smiled and passed the voice into Sean's head: "I need your help, Sean." ”

Help?

After thinking for a moment that he didn't seem to offend the captain, Sean cautiously tentatively asked, "What do you need me to do?"

"Give me that red flower with tentacles. ”

Flowers on the other side?

Hearing this, Sean's heart suddenly swelled with a warm current, and the movements in his hand did not stop, he took out a translucent box from his arms, threw it over, and said, "What can it do?"

"It's big, by the way, let's see if I can help you solve a problem. As he spoke, he directly crushed the box, and used a trace of magic to wrap the 'other side flower' and fly towards Boris.

Is this playing football?

Do you want to report the captain, because this year's law makes it illegal to play football in the city.

The flower was not as cranky as Sean, and under the pull of Elf's magic, it fell straight to Boris, who had not had a few breaths left, and the turquoise flower handle was like the sharpest bayonet, easily cutting through the solid scales on its surface and sinking into the flesh.

The stamens of the flowers on the other side of the river that came into contact with the blood began to wriggle, and a strange red glow emanated from the surface of the body, carrying the aura of death and ominousness, and one after another the same flowers also bloomed on Boris's body with the breath, spreading wildly like a virus, and in the blink of an eye, a 'small hill' full of flowers on the other side appeared in front of everyone.

Smelling the faint fragrance of flowers in the air, Elf had a few beads of sweat on his forehead, obviously he didn't expect this picture, and couldn't help but turn his head to the calm Sean and sighed: "It seems that he is far stronger than I thought." ”

"I know. ”

Sean was not surprised by the scene in front of him, he had seen the power of 'Miss Coffin' during his promotion, not to mention that he had become his own covenant spirit.

Although the captain was grateful for his efforts, Sean knew that he could not get rid of him no matter what, except when I became his equal.

Is it just possible?

Maybe there's hope.

Unwilling to think about it, he put his thoughts behind him, and then he was attracted by the strange movement of the cursed puppet, and he was annoyed that the star lion interfered with the food, but soon his prey also changed in nature, and a powerful unknown force was eroding his prey.

"Sean Morrison..."

The puppet let out a clear roar that made Sean's heart panic, and he grabbed the lion and ran towards Boris in mourning, while stretching out six sharp claws and began to pluck the flowers on its body, but unfortunately no matter how hard the puppet tried, he couldn't pick any of the flowers on the other side.

I can only watch my prey die.

"No..."

As Boris's breath weakened more and more, the puppet twisted in the roar, and puffs of gray smoke drifted from its body, and the flesh that did not belong to it began to fall off, and the tall figure gradually shrank, as if everything was about to end.

"What is this?"

"The Muppet's imitator is essentially mutated and interrupts its resurrection. Elf said and put his plan together, "Originally, I was going to let Lance leave with the two claws of the Runaway, so that I could still fight against the incomplete resurrection of the puppets, but I suddenly thought that you have a lot of dangerous items on you, so I changed my plan temporarily, but I didn't expect his power to be so powerful." ”

"Seals?" Sean was about to ask the captain a question that had been bothering him for a long time, "A large part of it was given to me by Gollum." ”

"Gollum?" Elf said with an unexpectedly solemn look at Sean with a shotgun, "Gollum's origin is unusual, it is a spirit creature that suddenly appeared with me a year ago to make a courier pact, and it has never shown friendship with people, so be careful, Sean." ”

Isn't Gollum really at the behest of the captain?

So is the ritual pointing to the gods in that glove a coincidence or a secret plan?

There is no such thing as friendliness in the world for no reason.

Nodding, Sean withdrew his shotgun, turned his head to look at Miss Skeleton standing on his horse beside him and Gollum hiding in the shadows, and sighed deeply, sometimes he didn't want to delve too deeply into some issues, after all, they had all helped him, so when they needed to ask for payment, could he refuse?

Probably not.

People sometimes can't see through anything.

Stupidity isn't always derogatory.

"Whew..."

A majestic and slightly fearful lion roar woke up Sean, who was pondering, and followed the sound to see the mighty lion's golden eyes staring at the front, letting out a threatening low roar, and slowly retreating backwards.

Odd.

How could he be nervous, even if he was just a wisp of incarnation of the divine servant, he would not show fear in front of mortals.

Unless it comes stronger than His real body.

Thinking of Sean's sudden foreboding, he looked at the lion's line of sight, Boris, who was covered with flowers, no longer had the breath, and the cursed puppet beside him did not become the original doll, but turned into a female figure.

Wrapped in gray mist, he couldn't see his appearance clearly, he couldn't see his clothes clearly, only his long black hair danced in the air, and he looked at Sean and smiled.

A sense of familiarity inexplicably filled Sean's heart.

He felt as if he had seen this woman, maybe a few days ago, maybe a few years ago, maybe in...

An ominous premonition crept up.

Miss Coffin?

The next move of the puppet woman confirmed Sean's conjecture even more, only to see her gracefully bend down, stretch out her right hand and pick a flower at will, the remaining sea of flowers instantly turned red and submerged into the flowers in her hand.

In the sound of the 'clanging' of the potion crystals analyzed after Boris's death, the lady walked towards the frightened Sean in a slow and dignified posture with flowers in her hand.
