Chapter 67: The Voodoo Society
The old factory district of Gothic City.
After the periodic Great Depression, a large number of black employees in the former factory area lost their livelihood and spent their days lounging and fighting. The town hall gave them free food and groceries, as well as a small subsistence allowance, but did not give them new jobs.
These black residents live in hopeless poverty, with a crime rate of up to 40 percent. An entire generation of young people have followed the example of their idle parents, fooling around the streets, fighting or joining gangs of all kinds to find meaning in their lives.
The Voodoo Society is the largest of these gangs. With a terrifying voodoo curse and spooky teachings, this gang is far more combative than other community gangs.
Bauer Smith is the second-in-command of the Voodoo Society. His father went on an expedition to the distant Central Asia for Uncle Sam, and was promoted to non-commissioned officer for his military exploits, and was once the most promising young man in the community.
That is until a mine overturns his truck and takes his right leg.
Smith's dad was sent back to the community where he was born, living on handouts, and finally ending himself with a revolver when Smith Jr. was 8 years old.
Little Smith has many of his own daddy qualities. He is brave, strong, intelligent, and has a discipline that is extremely rare in this community. This made him valued by the former boss of the Voodoo Society, and gradually grew into the second-in-command of the organization.
Until a strange black man with pigtails came to the gang headquarters, knocked the head of the former boss in front of everyone, held half of the skull, and dug into it with a small spoon like ice cream.
Smith was frightened on the spot.
Even at the beginning, when neither the submachine gun nor the pistol could hurt the stranger, Smith did not have the slightest fear or panic.
But the scene of the stranger enjoying the brains completely shattered Bauer's nerves and made him feel like something was broken inside him.
"My name is Viklor, and I am your God and Lord from this day forward." Viklor tapped a cane on the heads of the prostrate Voodoo members one by one.
"Phew!" Viklore was casual and smashed the head of a big man next to Smith. The red, white, and white stuff splashed Smith in the face, almost scaring him unconscious.
β¦β¦
"Smith."
A voice interrupted the memories of the second Voodoo Society, making him nervous.
"When the time comes, let's attack." The voice from the Juggernaut was neither sad nor joyful, and it sounded to Smith saying, "It's almost time, you can die." β
But Smith had no choice. With more than 20 heavily armed men, he cautiously groped his way forward.
The stronghold of the Scandinavian gangsters was right in front of them, where, according to Viklor, the enemy could be wiped out.
It didn't matter if he could really do this, in front of the terrifying master, Smith couldn't wait to stop thinking, so as not to expose the endless fear and disgust in his heart.
Compared to Viklor's horror, even a trap ahead is not a big deal.
"There are intruders!" Before Smith could go any further, they were spotted by the other party. A rain of bullets swept over, hitting Smith and they didn't dare to take the lead.
"What a quick response." Viklor exclaimed, "Sure enough, you've got the help of the contractor?" Stitch monsters, go for it. β
A huge black shadow slowly moved forward, as if it were shaking without taking a step.
"What's that?" A strafing Scandinavian gangster spotted a behemoth behind the Voodoo Society and slowly walked towards them.
The massive ball of flesh was gray and black in color, a disgusting color only found by long-dead rotting corpses. On either side are three pairs of arms, each holding a giant guillotine, a sickle, a chain, and an anchor.
As the monster got closer and closer, the gangsters discovered that the monster had been sewn together with countless pieces of corpse and black hemp rope, and that there were countless human heads on its fleshy body, and that the faces of the people showed wailing expressions. The air seemed to be filled with the terrible screams of the dead souls.
The gangsters faltered before they could be attacked, screaming and throwing down their weapons before turning and fleeing.
"Stitch monsters. Race: Undead. Attributes: Strength 35, Agility 9, Stamina 12, Intelligence 1, Spirit 1.
Special Skill 1: Corpse Stitching, a large number of corpse stitching makes the Stitch Monster have no obvious weaknesses, and adds an additional 1000 HP.
Special Skill 2: Fear, which inflicts a lot of fear on small normal units.
Special Ability 3: ???
Special Ability 4: ??? β
Galadia was a little shocked, could this be Viklor's summoned creature? It's too powerful, isn't it? Aside from the good attributes, there are 4 skills alone!
"Hawkeye! Launch an attack to test it. The ram's voice appeared in the microphone used for communication, "Lord Galadia, please don't do it yet." β
"Phew!" Hawkeye aimed at the Stitching Monster and fired, the massive projectile piercing through its fat body, kicking up a cloud of dust behind the Stitching Monster. Disgusting juice splattered everywhere.
The Stitching Monster spun around its massive body, and suddenly threw a chained anchor at Hawkeye's hiding enemy with incredible speed.
Hawkeye, who suffered a big loss from the eye demon in the last world, was prepared this time, and was ready to dodge when he fired. When she saw the stitch monster spinning its clumsy body, she immediately dodged with agility and dodged.
But the stone would be standing behind Hawkeye to protect him, and he was caught off guard by the spikes on the anchor of the Stitching Monster.
The stitcher sensed something hooked, grabbed the chain and pulled it violently, and the sturdy MT was dragged out of hiding.
After flying for some distance, the stone crashes head-on into the Stitcher. Several of the monster's arms had already been raised with machetes and sickles, and they were slashed down like slicing meat.
"Bell!" The stone held up a shield that shimmered green, sending a splash of sparks.
"There is MT, and the configuration is not bad." Viklore snapped his fingers, "But then, you guys will be disconnected from the front and back rows." β
Hawkeye noticed that a thick black fog appeared around him, and he could faintly see the cold sword light.
"Cover me!" Hawkeye shouted when a blue spear grazed the ends of her hair and met a machete.
The black fog gradually dissipated, and three skeleton soldiers armed with swords and shields appeared in front of them.
βWHAT!β The bayonet and Hawkeye who rushed to the rescue exclaimed at the same time, "How many summons is there in this person!" β
The three skeleton soldiers instantly formed a zigzag formation, and the three war knives whistled and slashed towards Hawkeye. The bayonet hurriedly blocked one of them, Hawkeye hurriedly flashed the second, and the third was already slashing from an angle that could not be avoided.
"You stand back!" The ram was a little farther away, but had already arrived to help, and he swung his staff at the skeleton soldier, and a ball of fire roared out of the red gem.
"Boom!" The third skeleton was about to slash Hawkeye when a huge fireball hit it. Blew it up on the spot and smashed it all over the place.
"Uh-huh, are the bugs finally here?" Viklor didn't look at the ram squad fighting the skeletons and stitchers, and raised his staff to the side, Valkyrie had already stabbed at lightning speed.
Viklor was not alarmed, but carefully looked at the approaching Valkyrie: "What a beauty." After you die, I'll take your skull with me. β
A shadow quickly moved in front of Viklor, turning into a grim ghost and heading straight at Valkyrie.
The red-haired girl hurriedly raised her Greek-style round shield to resist, and the ghost image hit the surface of the shield and vanished. She raised her spear and stabbed it at her immediate target.
"Flutter!" The tip of the spear felt like it was getting into the flesh, but it wasn't quite what Valkyrie had expected. A large black figure stopped between Valkyrie's spear and Viklor, and took the attack.
"Catch him! The Walking Dead! At Viklor's command, the giant zombie stuck in the middle reached out and grabbed Valkyrie with its left hand, while its right hand swung an axe and slashed at the same time.
"Silver Moon! Light up the darkness! A silver beam of light, more than three times brighter than before, struck at him. Galadia has struck!
This blow Garadia used the items obtained in the previous world to increase the divine attribute of this arrow, doubling the extra damage to undead creatures, and more than 3 times the dispel effect on ghosts and others.
"Whew!" The walking corpse was shot through a large hole by this beam, through which Valkyrie could literally see the surprised Vikloll behind the walking corpse.
"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it!" Without hesitation, Viklor took out a piece of white bone and smashed it to the ground.
The white bones shattered into several pieces on the ground, and a cloud of black and purple smoke rose up. Valkyrie didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly stepped back.
The stitch monster, which had just been fighting with the stones, dropped its target, twisted its fat body twice, and disappeared into a black cloud. The remaining two skeletons did not disappear, and continued to fight with the ram for a while before being crushed.
"What a decisive retreat! I didn't even have time to interrupt him! Valkyrie checked where Viklore had been, and found that Viklore himself had disappeared without a trace, except for a black trail left here.
"The battle of this meeting alone shows a powerful summon, instant spell casting, decisive decision-making, and excellent escape skills." Galadia looked at the slain walking corpse, "I can feel that he still has a lot of hole cards to play, what a formidable enemy!" β
Valkyrie and Galadia looked at each other.
β¦β¦
"Pursuit, must pursue! Such a powerful enemy can't let him go through the layout, otherwise everyone present together may not be able to help him next time. β
