Chapter 245: Dead Guard
The body of the Death Guard is quite large, more than four meters tall and more than a meter wide, and it is covered in knotted muscles, which is a standard door panel type body.
His body was quite broken, his skin was pitted, and there were many places where it was badly damaged, and there was a large hole in his heart, but from those intact places, the skin of the dead guard was silver-blue, with a faint metallic sheen.
'Silvery...... What kind of metal is this? Rosen became interested in the dead.
Before, he had always thought that this thing was just a powerful monster, and that it was dead, and that the most important heart had been taken away by Amran, and after a while, the corpse would decompose and disappear.
But now, he thinks it's not easy.
He activated his mana tentacles and began to probe the Dead Guard's skin.
The moment his magic touched the skin of the Dead Guard, a violent paralyzing sensation surged through Rosen's mind, as if he had received a strong electric shock.
"Ah~~~~"
Lawson was startled, and the whole person subconsciously jumped out of the rear, and the magic tentacles couldn't be maintained, and disappeared in an instant.
It was only after retreating more than 10 meters away from the corpse of the dead guard that Rosen stopped, he looked at this strange corpse with palpitations, and the residual tingling sensation on his scalp reminded him that this thing, even if it was dead, was not easy to mess with.
However, Rosen was not afraid at all, but a wave of ecstasy.
This thing is very likely to be at the same level as the destruction toxin, and it may be able to detoxify! β
Thinking of this, Lawson immediately walked quickly to the corpse of the Death Guard and activated the magic again, but this time, he did not probe the body of the Death Guard
It was the liquid that had been splashed on the body of the Dead Guard before observation.
As a result, the magic power easily passed through the transparent liquid, and the terrifying existence that was originally like an endless dark swamp turned into an ordinary water droplet, which also contained some proteins, lipids, and glucose molecules, which were basically the same as ordinary people's body fluids.
Rosen was still a little unconvinced.
He poured all the monster brains in the jar onto the corpse of the dead guard, and the dark green liquid immediately covered a large area of skin.
This time, Rosen saw every detail of the change with his own eyes.
The moment the liquid touched the skin of the Dead Guard, a very faint white light appeared on the skin, and then a large number of bubbles appeared in the dark green liquid...... No, not bubbles, to be precise, vacuum cavities, because these 'bubbles' don't come out, they disappear very quickly.
There are more and more cavities, as if it is a silent boil, and after a few seconds, the white light disappears, the dark green liquid has become colorless and transparent, and the monster's brain tissue has also changed from black to white tofu-like, looking no different from an ordinary human brain.
Rosen was stunned: "Tsk~~~ The poison is so solved? β
He didn't have a clue about the principle. This is the same as when he himself was inexplicably transformed into an undead after being hit by the mark of the blood clan, even if it was his own body, he couldn't detect the change process.
'Wait~ Amran guy took the heart of the Death Guard, as if it was of some great use. I still have a notebook from him...... Wait, there's also a golden metal ball in the fanny pack. β
The first time he killed Amran, he retrieved a fist-sized metal ball, three golden runes, and a thin notebook from him.
After that, he didn't have a moment to spare, so he didn't have time to check the things, but he always had them with him. Now, it's time to take a good look at these things.
...............
The streets of the Docklands.
The Phantom Assassin Nerod crouched on the ground, his hand running along the ground in a radioactive stretch. His gaze followed the trails, and finally settled on a piece of rubble ten meters away.
He got up and walked over, kicked the rubble with his foot, and a slightly rusty piece of metal came into his sight, and he immediately crouched down to pick it up and put it in front of his eyes to examine it carefully.
'Iron grey, very strong, slightly deformed, resembling the shape of an oak tree...... It's Rosen's musket rounds! β
Nirod quickly stood up, his eyes wandering around the ground, and soon he found a second, third, fourth deformed musket round.
"Rosen's unique musket bullets, Rosen's unique explosive magic, he has been to the docks, and it is even very likely that he is in the docks!"
"But what did he do in the docks? Isn't he afraid of the academy being attacked? β
Nirod couldn't figure it out.
In order to get more clues, he searched the docks more carefully.
Soon, he found the corpse of a ghoul.
'The head was blown out, and it was instantly fatal....... The same damage from muskets. β
He continued to search.
Soon, he found the second and third monster corpses, and by the end, he had found more than seventy monster corpses, each of which had been killed by a musket. As a direct consequence, there are no normal types of monsters to be found in the docklands except for the Tree Demon Golems.
At this point, Nirod was shocked: "The monsters in the docklands have been slain. What is this Rosen trying to do? Get you back? Spite? Save? β
After thinking about it, Nirod still couldn't understand why Rosen did this.
He stood up, one hand unconsciously playing with the bullets he had collected, and stared aimlessly at the desolate and silent dock area, his mind struggling with his opponent's thoughts.
'Quack~~Quack~~'
A flock of crows screamed and flew over, landing beside a carrion not far in front of Nirod, and began to happily peck at the carrion on the corpse.
Nirod's gaze followed the crow to the corpse on the ground.
It was the corpse of a young girl, still wearing a sackcloth skirt, her body twisted and lying on the ground, a fist-sized bloody hole in the back of her head, and her long flaxen hair spread out, covered with mud and blood.
Although the body has decayed, some characteristics that are unique to young girls can still be vaguely seen, such as a slender waist, thick hair, and so on.
Looking at it, a thought suddenly jumped into Nirod's mind: 'That guy Rosen is very emotional, and in order to save his family in the mansion, he desperately fights with Amran. What can such an emotional guy do? β
"That's right! He must have come to save people, to save the civilians in the dock area. And these man-eating monsters pose a huge threat to the safety of civilians, and it is they who have ruined Nilogaard, and Rosen must find a way to get rid of them. β
"Yes, it must be so, this guy is naΓ―ve as if he is a child, and only he will do such a childish thing!"
"Hehe, Rosen, you are delusional about banishing the monsters in the city, you probably don't know what kind of opponent you are about to face, right?"
"Where's this guy now, though?"
Once again, Nirod began to look for it in the docklands.
This time, his goal is only to find Lawson's location, as long as he knows where this guy is hiding, the tree demon Donassis will naturally come to deal with him.
Although he was a little unwilling, Rosen's guy was really powerful, and Nirod didn't think he was an opponent.
In this way, he made a big circle around the docks again, and finally, he stopped on a dirt road along the river: "Lawson finally appeared around here, and then he suddenly disappeared...... He must be hiding somewhere nearby. So, where will he hide? β
This dirt road, on the side of the Bishui River, the cold wind blowing from the river took away all the breath on the dirt road, and all the clues were cut off.
"There's a good chance this guy is hiding somewhere around here. That guy is a ruthless guy, I'm looking for him alone, and it's a bit dangerous if he finds out. β
With this in mind, Nirod spun around and sped towards the town hall in the residential area north of the city.
