Chapter 40: Forced Killing
"Awesome...... In my lifetime, it was impossible for a young man of my age to reach this level.
If it were an ordinary enemy, he would have died in the hands of Cass. ”
This was the first time Han Dong had seen the strength of the 'Trainee Knight'.
In addition to being shocked, Han Dong also longed for such a power of fate even more.
In the [Crusader] major talent, Cass invested 3 Destiny Points.
The physical strength and combat skills he displayed far exceeded the limits of ordinary people of the same age, knocking out ghouls who were a head taller than him and had more developed musculature, and perfectly connected and slashed them together.
It's just that......
Bite!
The crisp sound of metal clashing echoed through the basement.
The moment he broke open the ghoul's chest with a cross slash, he immediately stabbed it and pointed it straight at the heart.
Who knows, the tip of the sharp silver sword was blocked by the black substance covering the heart.
"A full-fledged ghoul, building bone armor in weak spots?"
At the same time, Han Dong behind him made a move.
A blast of plague energy shot at the bone armor on his chest...... With the naked eye, the plague was slowly eroding the black layer that enveloped his chest pain.
Cass smiled, ready to stab him a second time.
Who knows.
The ghoul, who had his chest torn open and fell to the ground, ignored his injuries and bounced up violently from the explosion of his waist and abdomen.
The sharp claws slashed directly at Cass's armor, and the powerful force lifted Cass out of the air.
Bang! (muffled sound of impact)
Cass slammed into the wall, streaks of blood running down the corners of his mouth.
The armor on his chest left five scratches.
The middle one had completely torn the armor, scraping the skin on its chest...... Within a few seconds, the wound was green and pus was coming out.
And, due to the eye contact with ghouls during the battle.
The black lines around Cass's eyes darkened in color, and his thinking was already problematic, and sometimes he would see terrifying fantasies...... The battle will be greatly affected.
Han Dong frowned, and the situation became unfavorable to his side.
This Knight of Cass is an upright man with no scheming.
When he smelled danger in the secret passage before, he let Han Dong stay in the middle and go out to explore alone...... This incident alone is a reflection of Cass's character.
"Cass, don't move! Your physical activity will speed up blood flow and carry the fungus to other areas. If possible, try burning the wound with a flame to remove the fungus. ”
"But you can't deal with this thing at all! I have to ......"
"Don't move!! I have a way! ”
Han Dong's roar startled Cass, he didn't expect a frail mysterious apprentice to let out such a powerful roar.
Han Dong stared at the ghoul, which should be the ghoul's chest to be exact...... The plague attack has worked, and the bone armor that protects the heart has been greatly weakened.
Because of the roar that Han Dong had just made, it also attracted the ghoul's attention again.
The battle must be resolved here.
Otherwise, if he throws off Kas, he will be eaten up completely.
Aku…… (Strange words come out of the ghoul's mouth)
The ghoul crawled quickly, its claws easily cutting through the concrete floor.
Han Dong calmed down and stabilized his mind.
Point the dagger in your hand at the ghoul's eyes.
As some of the energy in his brain was drained, a ray of plague energy struck the ghoul's eyeball.
Visual loss.
This causes the pounced Ghoul attacks to deflect.
Han Dong dodged in one direction, just dodging.
The ghoul who failed to hit the target slammed into the debris pile in the basement due to inertia, and his body was buried by the debris.
"Good chance!" When Cass on the side saw this and wanted to get up to help, there was a strong tearing sensation in his chest pain, which made him hold the ground with one hand and gasp loudly...... I don't need it at all.
That's when it happened.
Cass, whose vision was already a little ghosted, saw a terrifying scene.
A woman in red appeared beside Han Dong at some point.
The woman was surrounded by a viscous liquid aura of resentment, and the kitchen knife in her hand gave Cass an intuitive deadly threat.
"What is this...... Horrific visions I saw? Or Han Dong's summons? ”
Just when Cass wondered...... The woman in red moved.
It's blazing fast.
Before the ghoul could crawl out of the waste heap, the kitchen knife in his hand fell rapidly.
How so...... Chen Li, who was wielding a kitchen knife, actually had a feeling of 'berserker'.
From a distance, the 'instantaneous shadow' of the first knife had not disappeared, and the second knife was quickly cut down.
Even Han Dong was surprised.
Chen Like in the space of destiny does not have such a level at all......
"Is this the power boost that the Holy Grail brings?" "Combat ability" has changed from E+ to D- alone, so much of an increase!? ”
For a short period of time.
A kitchen knife cuts off all of the ghoul's limbs.
At the same time, a chain found in the basement strangled the ghoul's neck, so that the fangs in his mouth could not pose a threat.
The final blow will be carried out by Han Dong.
The bony layer of the heart in the chest has been completely corroded.
The short blade is aimed at the heart and pierced with precision.
"Ah!! ~”
Strange screams echoed in the basement and were even heard by the security guards guarding the perimeter of the building.
After a few convulsions of the body, the ghoul stopped moving.
Han Dong hurriedly took out the syringe and extracted the "cell essence" of this mature ghoul in the blind spot that Cass couldn't see...... And quietly transfer one of the ghouls' arms into brain space.
Cass, whose vision was blurred by the pain, didn't see it all clearly.
At the same time, he was also immersed in Han Dong's surprise at killing the mature ghoul, and he didn't notice Han Dong's subsequent 'small actions' at all.
"Anderwa! You...... It's amazing! ”
"Didn't you stop moving...... Well? Has the infection stopped? ”
When Han Dong, who had done all this, looked at Cass, the infected wound on his chest had been fully disinfected.
As for the disinfection tool, it was a holy water bomb.
The holy water inside has a great effect on the gloomy fungus brought out of the graveyard, and the effect is better than that of fire.
However, Cass was still slightly weakened and rested for a while before slowly recovering.
"This is your 'summon'!?
I've only heard that the guys who majored in [Control] can drive evil spirits, call out beasts, or forge bonds with the things of the void, but I didn't expect [Occult] to do the same? ”
"It's just a windfall."
Since Cass said so, Han Dong could only follow his thoughts and conceal the past.
"No wonder you're so weak, but you have 2 Destiny Points allocated to [Occult], it seems that you are all used to strengthen your summons...... Terrible! ”
During speaking.
Chen Li seemed to be more afraid of life, and after seeking Han Dong's consent, she quietly returned to prison.
Cass was not surprised to see many similar summoned beasts disappearing.
"Let's go! We must report the Ghoul Lair as soon as possible...... Otherwise, there will be big trouble in this civilian area. ”
Cass hurriedly took out the burlap bag and put away the ghoul's stump as evidence to complete the "bounty order".
"Huh...... Why is a hand missing? ”
"I guess it's been corrupted by the 'plague energy'." Han Dong said softly.
"Yes, you're a weapon of fate."
Cass didn't have any suspicions, and left the basement with Han Dong with the sack.
In a short time, a professional knight arrived and completely destroyed the small ghoul's lair in a short time.
For discovering and reporting the 'Ghoul Lair', Cass also received an additional 50% bonus to his bounty mission.
