Alan took a deep breath. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In order to drive away the hesitation and uneasiness hidden in her body, she bit her lower lip hard and leaned down, staring ahead and waiting for an opportunity.

Not far ahead, two people who needed her help were being besieged by the beasts back to back in a small alley.

The cult spells that the priests of the church majored in were mainly used to deal with enemies such as monsters and necromancy rather than living creatures, and these newly demonized beasts were still very shallow as demons, so the regular priest spells were almost useless against these beasts.

It can be seen that the priest of Wells is indeed as Clyde said, even if the reputation is extremely bad, but he also has good strength. The Priest of Wells used the amulet staff technique to block the attacks of the monsters in front of him, and drew the seal with one hand—one of the few spells used by the same priest was magic aimed at killing enemies.

An invisible slash sliced through the void in front of them, slashing along with the beasts' forelimbs.

“，，！”

Even so, the damage he inflicted was too light, and those demonized beasts obviously inherited a rapidly regenerative physique from the blood-headed hounds, which was too poor for an opponent.

Compared to the appearance of the priest of Wells struggling to kill the enemy, the young man leaning behind him was holding a broken sword, and he seemed to be doing his best to protect himself.

Alan waited for his chance to join the fray. If you rush over regardless of 37211, you will definitely attract the beasts in the distance to you, and when the time comes, not only will you not be able to save people, but even you will be encircled, then you will put the cart before the horse.

She waited with bated breath for her chance to strike, and finally the opportunity came—a beast in front of her was slashed in the front leg by the young man with a broken sword, and it let out a scream—everyone's eyes were scattered so that no one noticed her—Eren rushed out into the shadows, throwing three throwing knives hanging from his waist, two of which missed the wall and hit the wall, but one was still plunged into the chest of the first beast. Eren pushed the second beast's head with his knees, spun around and plunged his sword into the first beast's skull, then pulled out his claws to block the second beast with his backhand.

With a roar, the young man rushed from his side and stabbed the broken sword into the neck of the second beast, but the weapon was not sharp enough to pierce its neck, and instead pushed the beast against the wall.

The beast let out a low growl and struggled wildly.

"Flash-open!!"

Hearing Allen's shout, the young man quickly avoided the side. Allen's sword sank into the mud wall, splitting the wall itself along with the beast's head.

The mud wall is not as hard as the stone wall, but it still takes a lot of strength to split it along with the monster's bones.

"Ha, ha...... Yes. ”

Alan gasped and leaned against the wall, feeling like he was running out of energy. She knew very well that this was just because she was too nervous, far from the limit of her own strength. The movement was smoother than I expected, and although there were some mistakes, it was not a big problem. But now is not the time to rest, Alan who thought so, raised his head, only to see the liberated young man standing aside as if nothing had happened, staring coldly at the back of Priest Wells.

- That person could be a trap, a human bewitched by a vampire, or a cultist, or something that was once a human being that they converted.

Goering's warning echoed in his mind, and Alan nervously shook his hand to his chest.

Nothing happened.

Although Eren doesn't know how it works, the chain is a magic item that can react to danger. Whether it reacts to murderous intent or magic is unknown, at least if it doesn't, it means it's safe for now.

Although it is not necessary to kill the man in front of him, it must be subdued in time if necessary, so it is absolutely impossible to let down your guard.

Thinking like this, Alan was almost startled by a heart-rending roar that burst his eardrums. The sound echoed through the town, it was the roar of the bloodhound. Although Alan didn't know exactly what had happened during the fight, the disgusting sound was definitely not a good thing.

"Tsk,...... Can you even do this kind of thing? ”

"Do you know something?"

Hearing the young man's frowning whisper, Alan couldn't help but ask. The young man raised his head slightly to signal ahead.

"Ahead."

I saw that the bodies of the three beasts that had been in a stalemate with the priest of Wells suddenly mutated, and the skin of their whole bodies suddenly cracked, and flesh and blood spurted out. At first, Alan thought it was caused by some kind of purification spell used by the priest, but the form of the monster bathed in the blood mist changed.

The body of the beast that was completely demonized was covered with blood-red lines, and the flesh and blood were churning, and black particles overflowed outward. Crimson eyes stared at the enemy in front of them, and their breathing sounded like a low scream.

"W-What is that?"

It's the first time Eren has seen this crazy monster.

"Plant your own magic power as a seed in your family, and if necessary, you can command it to activate. The effect is to force the dependents to burn their lives to gain a short-term power jump. Hawkers, the means of the next three indiscriminate. ”

The young man answered Alan's question in a calm voice.

The monstical beast went mad and swooped down on the Priest of Wells. Originally, the attack of the Priest of Wells was based on an extremely fragile balance of attack and defense, and once the balance was broken, the Priest of Wells, who was sweating profusely, had to give up all attacks and spread the barrier to protect himself to the death. He squinted at the two men behind him and roared loudly.

"Hey, what are you two guys still looking at there, hurry up and help!"

"I don't want it, what can we do up in this narrow alley. If you hold on a little longer, the beast, which is not very strong in the first place, will soon run out of life and fall on its own. ”

"You kid deliberately raised the bar with me, right? When I go back, I will definitely send you to the Inquisition for disrespect, and you will never think of it for the rest of your life! ”

“…… Just kidding, I'm here to help you. ”

The memory of the young man, the one the monster devoured, called Lyle, told him that the man in front of him was a high priest who did have the power to imprison him. Well, in order to avoid trouble in the future, let's just take advantage of the opportunity to kill now, but in this way-

Alan noticed the youth's gaze wandering over him.

(-- This cloak guy can't be spared.) ）

Alan suddenly felt the pendant on his chest become hot as if it were on fire.

"Why didn't those monsters react when they changed, and now-!"

(No, it's better not to make a move.) Now I am not completely sure that I will kill the two of them, and there is a breath in the distance that is always staring at this side. Although I didn't feel that distance threatened me, I was undoubtedly vigilant. ）

It stands to reason that their current identity should be their companion, and the monster doesn't understand why he is so vigilant. If you have enough time, you may be able to understand if you can organize your thoughts well.

(The air is vibrating, something is coming.) ）

The wall behind him suddenly exploded, and a huge warrior in full armor appeared under the dust, and the huge black claws pushed him back. The warrior used his shield to block the huge claws that could easily crush people into flesh, but his feet sank deep into the dirt, leaving two scratches on the ground.

“――。”

A red glow flashed above the warrior's shield, and Will's warrior let out a war cry and pushed the giant claw back with his shield as he swung the axe in his hand and slashed forward.

It was the team of Gargados and the monster they were facing off, the leader of the Monster horde, the Bloodhead Hound.

The appearance of the bloodhounds is noticeably different from when the monster first met. Pure flesh and magic condensed together in a mass that wrapped around the body like mist. The appearance was also even bigger than what I had seen before, dark black flesh and red blood mixed together on the epidermis, and on the pitch-black alien beast, the bitter faces of countless victims appeared on the epidermis, which was simply an absurd nightmare creation.

The monster was hit in the shoulder by a flying stone, and the sudden impact made him make a muffled sound. For the immortal him, this is not an injury at all, whether it is a penetrating wound or a continuous bleeding injury, it only takes a moment to heal on its own. But he originally thought that he had stayed away from this demonic beast, but he didn't expect to be dragged into a chaotic battle here.

For the Bloodhound, this is just a few more bugs in the range that can be attacked. It whipped one of its tentacles from its abdomen with a motion that could be caught beyond normal dynamic vision—and dug a chunk of the ground beneath Alan's feet.

It can cut through the surface with just one blow, and even steel can split apart in an instant.

The second blow was immediately followed by the first blow that was missed, and it was clear that there was already a warning of the first attack, and Allen, who was knocked to the ground by the impact, was still motionless on the ground. The cloak that had been used to hide his appearance and gender also fell off from the impact, revealing the pale face of his master - Gargados, who had been aware of the chaos before the monster, had been unable to dodge and was knocked unconscious by a stray bullet - a stray stone hit on the head by rubble.

At the last moment, the monster pulled Alan away, who was still in a daze, and used too much force to make the two unable to restrain their bodies and collide together.

The monster glanced at the woman in its arms.

"If you look closely, the face under the cloak looks okay, why do you have to cover your face...... I see, that's why it's covered? ”

Most of the so-called adventurers are vulgar people, and many of them think with their lower bodies. To put it bluntly, this is to protect oneself and avoid unnecessary trouble. The monster, who understood this, sighed.

"Hey!! You guys, don't get involved in this battle if you're so weak, it's in the way! ”

The warrior who had been holding the monster noticed something strange behind him, and when he looked back, he saw that there was an adventurer he didn't know was in the monster's attack range.

"Don't be so angry, Will, you're the one who lured that monster here. After all—" Gargados rushed from the side to protect the two of them, slashing the attacking tentacles with his sword. "We've strayed too far from where we were fighting."

"Is that so? It's no wonder to me, because this place is so cramped, hey, it's so dangerous! Will shrunk his head to avoid the black pus spewing from the enemy. Hey, you guys- get out of here, it's not a fight for you weaklings! ”

(Indeed, it is true that you should avoid getting involved in the fight and get out of here as soon as possible.) ）

The monster with the appearance of a young man nodded, wondering why he would risk saving this woman. Either way, there wasn't enough time on the scene for him to think too much about why, and he took the girl in his arms, ready to leave while someone was protecting him.

At one end of the alley is the Priest of Wells, who is still entangled with the monster, so he can only leave through the other end, and just as the monster steps forward, he finds that the other end is blocked by a new enemy. Attracted by the commotion, several pitch-black alien beasts blocking their departure paths, their jaws almost torn by their own strength, saliva and blood spilling all over the ground. This kind of beast that has been demonized, its body protection restraint has long lost its effectiveness, so the power of these beasts will lose control, tearing their bodies from the inside of their bodies.

There was no way to count on the priest's help, and the team of adventurers dealing with huge monsters had no time to separate, and he was holding a useless woman in one hand. The monster sighed, you can't just leave the woman who saved you like this.

In an instant, the battle began.

The monsters were not confused, and with the advantage of their weight, they pounced on the monster - as long as they were pounced, the fate that awaited him would inevitably be torn to pieces. Even if you avoid the worst outcome of being knocked down, as long as you are upset and bitten to accumulate injuries, sooner or later you will enter the same ending.

This is the advantage of the so-called wolf pack tactics.

The monster rolls sideways to dodge the pounce of the first monster that rushes at it, while kicking away the second beast that follows with its foot. The mud wall that was hit by the kicked beast shattered. Lyle then rolled over to the wall and picked up the two daggers that Eren had thrown earlier, scattered around the corner.

These daggers are not suitable for slashing weapons in terms of size, as they are too short. However, it can still be used as a lethal weapon if used properly. The monster took the head of a beast that pounced under its armpit, plunged its dagger into its throat, and then used its force to cut off the entire head.

The splatters of blood stained the upper half of his body red.

"Looks like I'm pretty much used to this body...... This is also due to the previous unseemly battle. ”

In a somewhat indifferent voice, he said to himself.

You can feel the familiar power churning in your body. Even though the power was much weaker than expected, and he was holding a man in one hand, the monster didn't feel like it was going to lose.

The beast in front of him is suitable to be used as a tool to test his strength.
