Chapter 16: Zanker's mood is depressed
In the middle of the night, most people have already fallen asleep, and the imperial capital, which was noisy during the day, is now quiet.
The faint moonlight mingles with the dim streetlights, casting a veil of eerie light over the sleepy city.
On the clock tower in the center of the imperial capital, a yellow-haired man in a gray leather coat stands here.
The cold wind of the night blew the hem of his coat up and down, and he wore a strange eye ornament on his head, like a masterpiece carved by a master carver from jade stone, which was so realistic that it felt eerie.
"Hehe, did you actually dispatch such a number of people to arrest me? It's not in vain that I've been working so hard to kill people these days...... Pleasantly enjoyable! ”
The yellow-haired man smiled a little crazily, and didn't seem to be worried about his disadvantage at this time.
"Regardless of the Imperial Capital Garrison, the 'Falcon', which has recently gained fame, and the 'Night Raid', the most vicious killer group in the Empire...... Hey, hey, hahahaha——! It's really a dangerous city, and it's a pleasant one! ”
He laughed maniacally, drowned in the wind with some kind of fanatical laughter.
Decapitate Zank, the ultimate murderer!
"So...... Whose head are you going to start with? ”
The blood-colored killing intent surged in his heart, and finally turned into a bloodthirsty smile, and the emperor's farsighted ability of "observer" was activated, helping him find his prey for tonight.
The field of vision extends rapidly, and you can even clearly see the scene from thousands of meters away, standing on this high tower, the entire imperial capital can be seen at a glance.
Then, he saw many.
The Imperial Capital Garrison was still dutifully patrolling all over the Imperial Capital, and they were scattered everywhere in an orderly manner, whether it was the number of people in each squad or the distance between them, it was just right, so appropriate that Zanke was a little unhappy.
The Spear of Judgment is indeed a rather tricky character.
Zanke gritted his teeth in his heart.
Xavier's ability to arrange his troops is undoubtedly the best in the world, simple and crude but very effective, so that he has no idea where to start.
No matter which squad he attacks, he will be completely surrounded by guards gathered from all sides because he can't resolve the battle instantly.
Zonke was sure that Javier had already eaten his strength, which is why he made this arrangement.
What a terrible insight to be able to speculate on such a state of information with only some incomplete intelligence!
Shaking his head, Zonk gave up on the idea of hunting the Imperial Capital Guard.
He shifted his gaze to Seleuc, who was walking alone, and to ...... Xiao Ke who was held in the arms of Seleuc.
"Bio-type emperor?" Zanke frowned.
His Imperial Tool doesn't have much lethality, and this kind of Imperial Tool that can be regenerated is a problem for him, and although he is confident enough to win, the stalemate itself will put him in a disadvantageous situation.
With a depressed mood, Zanke looked at the "Night Raid" group that was acting in pairs.
Brand and Leonay.
Maine and Hill.
Red Hitomi and Tazmi.
Then he saw Tazmi's unwavering eyes full of mission and justice.
"Oh, that's a nice look, I really want to see his expression when he was beheaded......"
Zanke is obviously very fond of Tazmi, and that kind of strong look is very destructive.
Just as he was about to decide on his goal, a figure suddenly flashed in his field of vision.
"Wait, that guy is ......"
Zanke looked intently, and saw a figure standing on the top of a tall building somewhere thousands of meters away.
Silver-white hair, purple jewel-like eyes, and a gold-trimmed black military uniform set off his capable and upright body.
A gust of night wind blew, and the black clothes on his body also moved with the wind, looking ethereal and dusty.
Javier Salmondo!
Zanke's pupils shrank, and his face finally showed a solemn look.
The strongest of the Empire, this is a name that no one can ignore, because it represents the ultimate violence!
Even though he is confident in his own strength, and the Imperial Tool he holds is also very suitable for heads-up type, he is very self-aware that he does not have the strength to face the "strongest in the empire".
He was a man of the era of the Great General, and he had the privilege of seeing the Great General shoot with his own eyes, and the terrifying power of destroying the world is still fresh in his memory.
Therefore, the fight with Javier should be avoided as much as possible, and he did not want to lose his life in vain.
Fortunately, with the performance of "observer", it is very easy to do such a thing, which is what he relies on the most in this battlefield.
I can't beat you, I can hide.
That's what Zinker thinks.
At this moment, Javier, who was standing on the roof of the building and observing the street situation, as if he suddenly sensed something, raised his head and glanced in the direction where Zink was.
That glance was like a peep into the abyss.
The sharp gaze, as if turned into a real sword, traveled a distance of several thousand meters, piercing Zanke's life, and he was so frightened that he quickly looked away.
It's really fake, you can still sense my existence at this distance, is he still human!?
Zonke shouted in his heart that Javier was perverted.
……
At this time, Javier was looking thoughtfully in the direction of the clock tower in the center of the imperial capital.
I did sense the sight just now...... Is it a delusion?
He bowed his head and groaned.
If not, is this sight coming from the "Night Raid" or from the ...... Decapitating Zink?
He glanced in that direction again.
The commercial street in the center of the imperial capital, I remember that place seems to be the area that Arowen is responsible for......
……
Zanke breathed a heavy sigh of relief, he was really scared out of a cold sweat by Javier just now.
That oppressive force is even more than the general back then, it's really terrifying, is that guy a monster!
Fortunately, having decided not to confront Javier head-on, he suddenly felt that he was really witty.
Zanc once again uses his farsightedness to find Tazmi to vent his frustration at being frightened.
However, the next moment, a strong sense of crisis suddenly hit, making him sweat all over his body.
This feeling was no stranger to him, it was a feeling of imminent death, and during the time he was wanted by the Empire, he had escaped death countless times because of this ethereal feeling.
He subconsciously turned his body sideways, and with a blast step under his feet, the whole person jumped backwards from the clock tower dozens of meters high.
At the same time, a cold light flashed through the air, and a sharp and numbing sound almost clung to his eardrums.
In the flash of light, Zanke saw the attacker's face in the faint moonlight.
It was a black swordsman with a ponytail, and in the moonlight, his posture swinging his sword was full of strange beauty.
Black hair, black eyes, black clothes, black sword.
There is only black in the eye, cold black, and black without emotion.
It's like a messenger from hell.
Zanke knows his name.
Black Fox, Arrowen!
Damn it! Why didn't you notice him!?
Zanke popped out his Hidden Blade and activated the "Observer's" future vision at the same time, he was still falling, and he had no way to borrow his strength, but he could only use the Emperor's tool to see through Arowen's attack and protect his vital points.
Swinging his sword to flick away the silver needle thrown by Arowen, and flying the flying claws that wanted to bite its calf, Zonk barely landed on the ground, and the powerful impact shook his legs numb, but he didn't dare to stop for a moment, rolled on the spot, and dodged the sword that fell from the sky!
"Eh, it's pretty good, there aren't many people who can block my attacks so many times in a row, that eye on your forehead...... It's the Emperor, right? ”
Arrowan drew his jet-black sword that had smashed the ground into gravel, a slightly excited smile on his lips.
If Zank is easily killed by him, he will be disappointed, he has little interest in killing the weak, and only worthy opponents can make him happy.
"And judging from your performance just now, you can clearly see through my movements, your emperor is a prophetic type, right?"
Arrowan chuckled, the long sword in his hand dancing at will, with no pattern to speak of.
However, in Zonker's eyes, there were at least seven or eight images of Arrowan cutting off his head, making him subconsciously defend upwards.
However, Arowen did not make any moves, but showed a wicked smile like a triumphant, with his ability, he could naturally control the movements of his body to a small extent.
"Judging by your reaction, my guess should be correct, right? But this is a bit of a problem, and the ability to predict other people's actions is like a foul. ”
It seemed to be complaining, but the excitement on his face did not subside at all, and he seemed to be quite satisfied with the difficulty.
Damn, completely led by the nose by this guy.
There was a cold sweat on Zonke's back, from the short battle just now, he had fully felt the strength of Arowen, it can be said that without the Emperor, he would be dead now, this is not a level he can handle at all.
Even if this guy is not as good as Javier, it is definitely not far behind, this kind of strong and perverted guy will actually appear two in one night...... Hey, hey, I'm just an ordinary murderer, do you want to look up to me so much?
But before he complained, he still had a problem not to vomit and be unhappy.
"I've already taken a closer look at it just now, and there shouldn't be anyone around here, why are you suddenly here?"
Yes, if he hadn't made sure that there was no one around, Zanke wouldn't have stood on the clock tower without hesitation, knowing that it was a rather conspicuous position, and he could see the figure above him if he looked up slightly.
"Oh, you're wondering about this, that's my emperor's trait."
Arowen raised the jet-black sword in his hand with a nonchalant expression, and the sword reflected a faint sharp light.
"Darkness Descending: Eight Feet Wu, let's use your eyes to confirm the specific ability."
Arowen raised the long sword flat, and the sword body suddenly began to release a thick black mist, and the ominous color spread in an instant, immediately enveloping Arowen, and then the black mist dispersed and disappeared along with Arowen.
Zonke's eyes widened suddenly, and he said in disbelief, "Disappear, disappear......"
Before he could react from this bizarre phenomenon, a strong murderous aura had quietly locked on him.
The sound of tearing the air suddenly came from the back of his head, startling him to immediately turn sideways to defend, although he barely blocked the first blow, but was taken away by the next chain of slashes, one ear was taken away, and deep wounds were also left on his stomach and thighs, dripping with blood.
Kicked in the chest and knocked off three lampposts in a row before falling to the ground, Zonke spewed out a mouthful of blood with shards of internal organs in his mouth, giving him a moment of respite.
Arowen quietly appeared where Zanke was standing just now, but he didn't see how Arowen approached him at all, and he couldn't even see his opponent, so he couldn't predict his actions.
"As you can see, the ability of the eight-foot black is to release a black mist that makes the user invisible, although it will reveal its body when attacking, but in other words, as long as I don't attack, I can always be invisible...... Your Imperial Tool can't be effective against unseen enemies, right? ”
"Do you now know why I was able to show up here quietly?"
Arowen answered Zonker's question, albeit in blood.
Zonke struggled to stand up, smiling bitterly in his heart, his emperor was restrained by the other party, and most of his five-vision abilities had been abolished, pulling the already disparity in strength to an even more desperate point.
Insight, farsightedness, perspective, future vision...... None of them work against stealthy enemies.
The only thing that can be used is ......
Zanke looked up, his Hidden Blade crossed his chest.
"Oh? Don't give up yet? It's kind of interesting. ”
Arrowen raised an eyebrow and grinned, revealing his white teeth, and his face was palpitating cruelty and fanaticism.
When fighting, he seemed to be a completely different person, becoming crazy and belligerent, and completely lacking the lazy appearance of his usual life.
Although he is deeply hidden, he is indeed an out-and-out battle maniac.
With the exception of Javier, he has never lost to anyone in his life, and few can be his opponents.
He doesn't like one-sided slaughter, and the battle must have to come and go to make people's blood boil.
And Zanke in front of him seems to have the strength to fight, which makes him happy, otherwise it will be boring.
