Volume 1: Shadow Rise Chapter 30: The City of Fog (4) Deathmatch

Kings Boulevard, Marty Cafe, 15:10 p.m

The café was in shambles, with fragments of tea sets and broken tables and chairs scattered on the floor, as if irregular candy of all kinds had been spilled on the floor.

Xiao Er could only try his best to dodge Ye Xiang and launch a fierce attack, but now the movements of his friends in front of him were completely different from what he had seen before, and even if he tried his best, he would inevitably reveal flaws.

Glenn Brown twisted his fingers dexterously, and Ye Xiang's movements also became faster with the rapid change of his fingers, and the attack moves were completely out of order, but because it was unpredictable, it caused Shore to make repeated mistakes in judgment.

With a "snap", Ye Xiang's straight punch hit Xiao Er's left cheek accurately, the muscles of his mouth were torn apart instantly, and blood spilled with the punch.

"It's a bit too hard. Shore covered the injured left side of his face and said, "Can't you hit it a little lightly, so I can count you as a personal vendetta." ”

Ye Xiang's forehead was covered with beads of sweat: "Do you think I want to beat you, hurry up and find a way to unlock his ability, otherwise it will be me and you who will die at that time." It's coming again, get out of the way!"

As he spoke, he swung his fist at Shore, who nimbly dodged, but the table behind him was clearly not so lucky, and the huge force directly pierced the solid wooden tabletop.

The frustration of Ye trying to penetrate the table was bloodied, but despite the pain he felt, he couldn't shake off the grip Glenn had exerted on his body, and the frustration of powerlessness was comparable to despair, especially when you had to go against your will and have to face each other like your best friend.

"You should be having fun, right?" exclaimed Glenn, excitedly, "This puppet show is so exciting, I'm so excited!"

"Stop talking nonsense over there. Xiao Er mocked in a spicy tone as he dodged Ye Xiang's approaching attacks. "Only a coward like you would come up with such a dastardly scheme, wait, and I'll clean you up in a moment. ”

The corners of Glenn's mouth twitched twice unconsciously: "It looks like you haven't learned a lesson yet, it looks like I'm going to have to work harder so that your mouth will never be able to speak." ”

He tightened the two index fingers and ring fingers of both hands at the same time, and Ye Xiang also stretched out his right hand behind his back with the change of his fingers, and pulled out the Tang knife hidden behind the windbreaker "Dawn". "Hey, now is not the time to joke, hurry up and find a way to get rid of my current state, otherwise-" Ye Xiang didn't have time to finish speaking, his wrist unconsciously waved "Dawn" and stabbed at Xiao Er.

Shore kept dodging the flashing knife light in front of him, and his mind kept calculating how to break the current deadlock. At the moment when he was stunned, the "dawn" that stabbed straight over cut a not too deep wound on his left shoulder, and Ye Xiang's subsequent side kick directly hit him in the lower abdomen, kicking him out of a distance of two or three meters.

"It hurts!" Xiao Er could feel the pain caused by the tearing of the lower abdominal muscles, but he didn't have time to savor the pain, and Ye Xiang's figure appeared in front of him again.

"Damn, try this!" Xiao Er, who was cornered with no way out, picked up a teapot full of coffee beside him and threw it at Ye Xiang, but Ye Xiang just slashed the entire porcelain teapot into two with a light "dawn" blade.

"What is that?" Shore looked at the spilled coffee and suddenly thought of something, "Is that the case, is that the truth of your ability?" He jumped behind Ye Xiang, and the Maia swords in both hands swirled in mid-air and shone with sword light, as if he was jumping out of the air. When his feet finally landed, Ye Xiang, who had been manipulated, leaned forward and sat on the ground as if he were a puppet with a broken string.

"What did you do?" Glenn clearly felt that he had lost control of Ye Xiang, and his face was full of astonishment. "This can't be, how did you do it?"

Xiao Er stretched out his hand to help Ye Xiang, who was almost in prostration, helped him to a seat next to him and sat down, and then replied without turning his head: "Your trick is indeed very clever, but you have challenged the wrong person in the wrong place, and when you chose to be in such a place, you have actually failed." ”

Glenn looked at his hands and roared, "Shut up!" and tell me how you did it, and how you saw through my abilities. ”

"It's simple, isn't it?" Shore said with a relaxed face, "Your ability is actually to wrap a near-transparent thread around the body of the person being controlled, and then increase the binding force through the Word, so as to achieve the purpose of turning the person under control into a puppet. ”

"I know what you say. Glenn was almost hysterical, "But how did you find out, you simply couldn't have found out." ”

"So I said you chose the wrong place. Shore straightened his collar, "I threw a teapot to Ye Xiang just now, and when the teapot was shattered, the originally transparent manipulation line showed a yellowish-brown color because it was stained with spilled coffee, and I caught that point, and then found the color to cut off all your manipulation wires, so as to crack your ability." ”

"What did you say?" Glenn looked at the shards of the tea set all over the floor, never expecting himself to lose on a paltry pot of coffee.

"Then we can fight in the open. Shore pointed his sword at Glenn, "I should have said that I would clean up a coward like you in no time." ”

"It's fine. Glenn, who was already nervous, suddenly calmed down, "Let me show you my ultimate ability as a Wild Hunter." He stretched out his fingers again, his eyes full of serious killing intent. "Please also show your real skills and have a good fight with me. ”

"I can't ask for it. Shore clenched his hands, and Maia pulled away. "That's exactly what I wanted. ”

Over the River Thames, 15:11 p.m

Jordi Ferron whistled around the tattered deck, and though he had rummaged through the cabins and beyond, he still couldn't find the bodies of Raven and Nicholas.

"It's really interesting. He muttered to himself, "It's the first time I've seen it disappear without a trace." ”

At the same time, the bottom of the barge boat was underwater.

Raven and Nicholas were desperately holding their breath, the longest human breath holding underwater was 24 minutes, and the two of them could theoretically reach this equivalent of that time after rigorous training.

But even if they can stay for such a long time, just blindly avoiding it will not help, and once the time is up, they will definitely become a live target for Jordi when they show their heads and breathe.

The two of them, unable to speak underwater, could only communicate through each other's gestures, and Nicholas made a gesture to Raven asking if there was a way, but Raven could only reply with a helpless movement.

But Nicholas didn't want to stay down there forever, he looked up at the bottom of the boat, and an idea came to his mind. He tried his best to make a gesture towards Raven to show that he had a way, and Raven felt a little confused and suspicious, but the current situation could only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, so he responded with a gesture that could be tried.

Nicholas nodded at Raven's answer, then reached out his right hand that shone with golden runes and touched the bottom of the boat, and a ray of ice crystals began to extend from the place where he touched the entire river.

"What's going on?" Jordi heard a clicking sound beneath his feet, and he looked over to see that the surface of the river was freezing at a visible rate, and the entire river was soon frozen.

Before he could recover his senses, a large hole was pierced through the bottom of the ship, and out of the hole were Raven and Nicholas, who had disappeared without a trace.

"I was almost suffocated!" Nicholas gasped. "If I hadn't finally come up with this solution, maybe we would have really suffocated to death!"

"Thanks to you this time. Raven, who was also out of breath, said. "If it weren't for you, maybe I would have died this time. ”

"How is that possible, what have you all done?" Jordi almost sanguish as he watched the unbelievable sights unfold in front of him. "How the hell did you do that?"

"It's thanks to my ability!" Nicholas wiped the water from his face. "At that time, I activated the ability of Divine Word Extreme Cold, and as long as I touched anything I touched, it would quickly freeze it, and I didn't plan to use it in the first place, but now it seems that I can't use it. ”

Raven regained his spirits: "In this way, we are also on the same starting line, and the next one is it." He and Nicholas punched together and said, "Our turn!"

Regent Street, Windsor Clothing Store, 15:12 p.m

The ground was already covered with large and small pits, and the number of pitfalls was increasing dramatically with the command of the woman's hands.

Rex and Wakaba are like gophers being chased, and they can only dodge back and forth in this continuous attack. Another trap appeared behind them, and Wakaba seized the moment and threw several kunai shots at the woman, but the woman only raised her hand slightly, and the oncoming kunai bounced away.

"It's not going to work. Rex said to Wakaba. "She can change the air pressure around her, whether it's kunai or darts, even bullets can't work. ”

"Then what do you say?" another pit was blasted open by a huge pressure beside them, "We can't keep running, there will always be times when we can't run." ”

Rex took advantage of the gap between the attacks to glance back: "You're right, we have to find a way to fight back, otherwise we must be the ones who will be exhausted in the end." ”

"What are you going to do?" Wakaye asked.

"I will do it with my power, perhaps with the power of the Word. Rex replied.

"No, you can't. Wakaba's tone suddenly became agitated. "Have you forgotten, the doctor told you not to use the Word casually, every time you use it, it will cause irreparable damage to your body!"

"I know. Rex's voice was unusually calm, "But now if I don't use it, we're all going to die here." ”

"I can't let you take the risk, you definitely can't-" Wakaba's words were not finished, and the fierce wind pressure hit again, and this time because she was distracted, she didn't completely avoid it in time, and the huge wind pressure directly bounced Wakaba out of the air.

"Wakaba!" Rex anxiously ran to the injured Wakaba and helped her up, "How are you feeling?"

Wakaba, who had been hit the head, had begun to blur his mind at this time: "Don't, don't use the holy word, Rex, the holy word will hurt you, if you use it, you won't be able to come back......" She fell into a coma before she could finish her words.

No, don't sleep, wake up, I beg you to wake up! Rex now only felt that his mind was being taken over by a beast, and he couldn't suppress the roar that only a beast can make: "Ahhh......h

"That's where you are. "The woman seems to have expected this to happen. "What kind of frightening fact is the secret buried in the heart of the lover?"

When Rex's roar finally stopped, his eyes were completely bloodshot and almost crimson, and the Word on his right arm spread rapidly throughout his body, but the color of the Word was a dark purple that no one had ever seen, like a ghost dancing in the night sky.

"Did it appear?" said the woman, looking at Rex, who was covered in dark purple holy words, "Is that the power that communicates with both heaven and hell finally awakened again after all these years?"
