"Where's Vanessa?"

Aphrodite gestured behind her. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Simon saw Vanessa disemboweling the corpse of the Bloody Warrior with a short sword.

"What's Vanessa doing...... No, it didn't even blow itself up? ”

Simon asked in surprise.

"Well, I'll kill it before it blows itself up."

Aphrodite's tone was so relaxed that it took Simon a long time to react.

"You killed it before it blew itself up? How is this possible, it blew itself up so quickly and very suddenly, how the hell did you do it? ”

"It's very simple, because I've fought this kind of monster before, so I have a rough idea of how many attacks it can withstand me, and I calculated in my heart that when it's dying, continuous attacks won't give it any respite, so that it won't have a way to blow itself up."

What a genius to be able to accurately calculate the health of monsters and their own attack power based on their own feelings, if it weren't for the end of the world, I am afraid that he would have become a well-known genius holy warrior and become a big man in a certain church in the near future.

Simon returned the iris shield to Aphrodite, and Vanessa stood up and walked over with a solemn face.

"This self-detonation method of the Blood Body Warrior was added later, which means that someone has transformed it a second time, and I have a sense of foreboding in my heart."

Then, Vanessa explained in detail.

The Blood Warrior originally did not have the ability to self-detonate, it was like a strengthened zombie, and the Brotherhood of Steel had never taken this weak monster into account. And Vanessa found that there were spell runes of unknown meaning inside the body of this bloody warrior, most likely added by a mage, that mage was not only good at necromantic spells, but also good at carving runes, you must know that these runes are all on bones, which requires quite high skills. Judging from the means of self-detonation, this mage's mind is also quite insidious, he did not directly strengthen the combat effectiveness of the bloody warrior, but with the help of the enemy's contempt for it, especially when it is dying, the enemy's vigilance will be reduced to a minimum, and then "Boom!" ”。

"I need to return to the Brotherhood of Steel as soon as possible and report the news to the President."

Vanessa placed a rune-painted skeleton into the package, pulled Simon aside, and said to Aphrodite.

"Farewell, paladin. Let's hope we don't see each other again. ”

"Wait."

Aphrodite stops Simon and Vanessa.

"I didn't deceive you when I said to help you lead the way, you continue to walk forward, turn right at the first intersection and go straight to see the headquarters of the Brotherhood of Steel, which was supposed to be the armory of Silver City, am I right?"

Vanessa nodded in surprise.

"That's right, then."

Vanessa was not only hostile to the paladin, but more importantly, her sense of foreboding was getting stronger, and she vaguely sensed that Aphrodite was hiding something from her.

"Calm down, Vanessa."

Simon placed his hands on Vanessa's shoulders and looked at her worriedly.

For a moment, the three of them fell into a wordless silence.

Aphrodite hesitated for a moment, then spoke.

"I'm living in a small warehouse next to the central square, and it's easy to identify with the balance sign on the door. If you have any questions, you can come there and find me, I am always welcome. ”

"What do you mean?"

Vanessa asked violently in response.

"Vanessa ......"

Simon also sensed that the atmosphere was a little wrong.

"Actually, although I can't use divine magic, I still have a weak ability. This includes detecting the undead, and I can sense the location and number of undead in the vicinity, which is what I rely on to wander alone. ”

Aphrodite paused for a moment and continued.

"And in my perception, an undead creature is a black dot, and there, what I perceive is a huge black hole."

Vanessa's face turned pale, of course she knew what "there" meant, and where else could it be besides the Brotherhood of Steel!

Vanessa grabbed Simon's hand and ran wildly towards the Brotherhood of Steel station.

Aphrodite watched the two of them leave with a compassionate gaze, and she slowly clasped her hands together to her chest, bowed her head and began to pray.

"May this land be blessed:

Where there is hatred, charity can be born;

Where there is harm, forgiveness can be born;

Where there is doubt, faith can be born;

Where there is despair, hope can be born;

Where there is darkness, light can be born;

Where there is sorrow, joy can be born;

May the world have peace of mind:

Do not ask for comfort, but comfort them;

Do not ask people to understand, but to understand people;

Do not court, but love;

For to give, to receive;

Forgive others and be forgiven;

Death is eternal life. ”

On the other side, Vanessa and Simon were running almost at a sprint speed.

Don't, don't do anything! That's my last home, and I'm going to take the only thing I'm left of! I have nothing left, why don't you let me go! Why the hell!

Vanessa held back tears, but when she saw what she saw, they rolled down her cheeks like pearls with broken threads.

Simon gasped from behind.

There was a downhill to the right of the alley where they were, and not far from Simon there was a conspicuous four-story building, which was supposed to be the original armory, now the headquarters of the Brotherhood of Steel. But what made Simon's scalp tingle was that the slope below was almost full of skeletons and zombies and other undead creatures, these undead creatures seemed to form a lake of the dead, they were next to each other, there were almost no gaps between them, they bombarded the gates of the Brotherhood of Steel wave after wave, and it was obvious that the gate was crumbling and could not last long.

But what is even more striking is the huge monster standing in the crowd of corpses. This hound-like monster is about 10 feet tall and reaches a minimum of 20 feet at the shoulder when standing. Simon looked closely at the monster and was horrified to see that its hound-like body was made up of countless decomposing humanoid corpses, and he even saw one of the corpses slowly merge into the hound's body as if it had been eaten. The hound, composed of this corpse, is the greatest desecration of life, and the wreckage of its body is endlessly wailing, accompanied by screams and muring, enough to make every onlooker feel horror and tremble.

But this monster isn't having an easy time at the moment, and it has a tricky enemy to deal with.

It was a weird giant statue, no, it was supposed to be some kind of occult weapon, because normal statues don't move. It looked about 15 feet tall, and seemed to be made of steel, scrap metal, stone, dirt, and other messy things, and each component was a rough hexagonal slab, and if you looked closely, you could see the gaps in the joints. The statue can be vaguely seen in human form, although its limbs are thick and short, and its head seems to be just a protrusion, but it can still be felt that it is a human creation, perhaps because of the limitations of materials.

The combat power of this slightly ugly statue was not at all detracted by its appearance, it was not only powerful, but also indestructible, it slaughtered in all directions in the corpses, and even the hound-like monster did not dare to directly confront it, so it could only keep swimming beside the colossus, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

The battle between these two large creatures stirred up a roar, the earth seemed to be torn apart, it was a scene that Simon had never seen in his dreams, the colossus only used his arm to wave, a large number of undead creatures were shattered, knocked away, but there were too many undead creatures, the attack of the colossus was too insignificant for this sea of corpses, and the corpses poured through the colossus towards the Brotherhood of Steel like flowing water.

Simon looked at the scene in front of him, feeling stiff and even a little hopeless, the strength of a person in front of this ocean of death is so small, he can't even turn a wave. And the hound, which was made up of corpses, made him feel extremely frightened, and he felt that his blood was filled with ice.

Vanessa, who was strong in the past, didn't seem to be able to withstand such a blow, and sat on the ground sobbing.

"It's all over, this kind of quantity, it's impossible to stop it, there's no way at all, there's no way to ......"

Simon tried to comfort Vanessa but couldn't say anything.

"Smack!"

Suddenly, Simon slapped himself.

Calm down! Damn, since you know that this is the end of the world, throw away all the luck! Isn't it what I do best to stay alive by all means? What if you can't beat it? The human body is already weak, so it's normal that it can't compare to monsters! With my brain, with my brain, I always believe that human wisdom is absolutely superior to monsters, because this is our only defense, the only means! Even if monsters are intelligent, they will never be able to understand human tactics, because they cannot understand the weakness of humans, so they cannot understand human thoughts, and this is the only way to defeat monsters!

Simon looked around and thought of the magic patterns on the Blood-Fleshed Warrior before, and couldn't help but have an idea.

"Vanessa, listen to me. You've said before that the magic runes on the Blood Warrior may have been the work of some mage, right? His character is insidious and cunning, and he is good at intriguing behind his back, isn't this very similar to the current situation? Instead of showing up in person, but hiding behind the scenes to direct the corpses to attack, we might as well assume that the current corpse group is controlled by this mage, who wants to destroy the Brotherhood of Steel but because of his own lack of strength, so he uses the power of the corpse group to achieve his own goals. ”

Vanessa looked up, her weak expression hurting Simon's heart.

"So I came to a conclusion, this mage's strength is not high, and in order to effectively control the corpses, he must be in a place with a wide field of vision, most likely on the roof of a nearby building, Vanessa, you said you are a demon hunter archer, you must have good eyesight, you come and help us find out that damn mage!"

Vanessa quickly stood up when she heard this, wiped her tears indiscriminately, stared at her red and swollen eyes, and looked around.

"There's someone there!"

Vanessa saw a person standing on the balcony of a small red three-story building not far from the bottom of the slope, and from this angle, she could only see that person was wearing a red cloak, the color was very similar to the surroundings, so that Vanessa almost didn't notice it.

"Well done!"

Simon waved his hand vigorously in excitement.

"Without further ado, we must stop him as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

Vanessa regained her strength, she saw a short bow and quiver next to the corpse nearby, and quickly picked it up, and carefully counted the arrows, a total of 12 arrows.

"Looks like I've finally been able to see the majesty of the Demon Hunter Archer!"

Simon looked at Vanessa earnestly.

"Of course."

Vanessa's eyes were filled with a bright flame burning.
