Chapter 1373: Bloody Streets

Ulysses didn't know why he was involved in such a horrible thing - while it was illegal to swing on the street with a Hex's body modification device, Ulysses would rather be punished and sent to jail for a moment than face the situation.

That's too bad.

The striking image of a heavily armed policeman being torn apart by twisted tentacles in front of Ulysses nearly fainted poor Ulysses - but he knew he couldn't faint now.

He fainted, and died.

Ulysses forced himself to calm down, he dropped the bouquet and pulled the energy valve straight to the bottom with his left hand.

The Hex crystal on his right wrist was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the energy was filling his right hand, and in a slight tremor from the overload, Ulysses threw the rope again, swinging himself into the air as fast as he could.

Run, run!

However, when the twisted tentacle monster that had just committed the murder locked his attention to Ulysses, even if he swung into the air, he could not escape the crisis.

On the slimy, wet tentacles, the suction cup structure easily climbed the wall, and the tentacle monster itself used this force to quickly move forward a few times, almost catching up with Ulysses.

Seeing this, Ulysses was devastated, and he instinctively wanted to move towards the crowded central business district, but after a little hesitation, he turned around at the last moment and went to the zodiacal basement - anyway, this guy can't go to the central business district, where there are not only many pedestrians, but also a large number of shopping malls, and the crowds are even more dense, once this guy goes, it will be a complete disaster!

Gritting his teeth, Ulysses forced himself not to pay attention to the smaller and smaller Hexes energy crystal cubes around his wrists—he raised his attention and concentration to the highest level in the hope of being able to hold out in the face of this terrifying monster longer.

It's best to wait long for help to arrive.

Unfortunately, when Ulysses arrived at the gate of the ecliptic basement with the help of a rope, what he saw made his heart half cold.

The guards at the gate of the Zodiac Basement had retreated to the gate, relying on the shooting holes to stop the monsters everywhere, and only a few heavily armed guards were sweeping the streets with Celeste - although they seemed to be majestic, these monsters were not a united enemy, but in terms of numbers, they were at an absolute disadvantage, and the team that shuttled back and forth looked like a small boat bouncing in the sea, ready to capsize at any moment.

In this case, Ulysses realized that the only way to get rid of the latter thing was to rely on himself.

Then give it your all and run for your life!

Ulysses was very conscious at this time, but his strength was limited - the energy crystal on his right wrist was quickly consumed, and the energy slot on Hex's prosthetic arm automatically opened, and the dust that had lost energy and was still warm was cleaned up, and a cloud of white mist exploded around Ulysses.

After losing the power supply, Ulysses could barely hold on to the rope, and with all his might, a deep cut was made in the palm of his left hand before he returned to the ground safely.

Ulysses, who had lost his strength, took out a Hex energy crystal with his left hand again, and when the device was overloaded and the energy gauge was hot, he scalded his left hand and stuffed the crystal into it as fast as he could—and then, when Hex's energy was full, he once again held the rope with his right hand and swung himself into the air again.

Then, just as Ulysses was about to start circling, there was a crisp click, and a puff of black smoke came out of the Hex's body transformation device in his right hand.

Finished!

As a Hexes scientist, Ulysses knew very well that black smoke meant damage to the device - in the case of high-power overload, the Hex's body modification device, which was usually used as an auxiliary prosthetic, finally reached its limit.

This device, which is designed to be used with precise force, is not a durable combat device, and it is good luck that it is used like Ulysses, and now it is already considered lucky!

In order to prevent himself from falling to his death first, Ulysses had to return to the ground while the device was barely usable, and then leaned against the glass curtain wall to quickly dismantle the entire device on his right hand.

It was a gift to the monster - realizing that he could not be spared, Ulysses chose to fight and die like a big man in the most decent position possible.

So, when the monster with the tentacles chased after him, Ulysses threw out the body modification device of Hex, which emitted black smoke, and he detailed that if he was lucky, the monster that should be able to blow up was full of flowers......

Then, something unexpected happened.

The explosion came as expected, but the power of the explosion was a little wrong - the monster's head exploded as the black smoke cleared.

This...... What's going on?

Hex's Body Modification Device still has this power?

The next moment, the headless monster lost its balance and fell straight to the ground, and then Ulysses realized that someone had appeared behind the monster and shot the guy in the head.

"Lady Catherine!"

"Don't talk nonsense, get out of here." Catherine methodically pressed a new energy magazine for her rifle, "Well, wait a minute, you go to the back, someone will find you out!" ”

……………………

Catherine's presence here is a small coincidence—in fact, she was supposed to go to the Teatro Pierci, and as a person with a big face in Piltover, she should have been present at the re-screening of the Song of Alvarosa at the Theater today.

It's just that Wei has been complaining that she is bald from patrolling the streets all day, so Catherine plans to change shifts with her today.

Anyway...... It's okay to ask Wei to go to the opera.

Then, just as Catherine arrives on Stellar Avenue to change shifts with Vi, she happens to encounter this riot.

Catherine, armed with her equipment, gathered the police and signaled for help, and at the same time took the lead and began to approach the direction of the ecliptic basement - because it had taken a little time to clear people on the street before, she had only arrived at the scene of the incident.

As the sheriff of Leather City, Catherine was also well-informed, but now that the entire street was almost stained red with blood, she still barely came up in one breath.

"Unforgivable—"

Catherine felt the veins in her forehead begin to throb, and her body even trembled slightly, and all she could do in this situation was to put all her equipment in order, load her bullets, and raise her sniper rifle.

"Bang-"

Hundreds of meters away, a tentacle monster attempting to storm the gate of the ecliptic basement was headshot.
