Chapter XVII. Exposure

Although on the surface, the royal family and the Holy See have reached a reconciliation, the bloody struggle can hardly end like this, and it only tacitly turns into the shadows.

That night, the soldiers of the Inquisition who enjoyed the night were like bloodthirsty bats, led by many executioners, swept over the city of the apocalypse, searching for targets, and the royal family did not care about hiding their power, the secretly trained shadow squads and the secret troops of the royal guards roamed through the city of the apocalypse, trying to fight the crows of the Inquisition and try to protect the remaining officials and merchants who were friendly with them.

The moon was scarlet and eerie under the rendering of blood, and seemed to be able to drip water. Countless figures strangled each other in corners that ordinary people could not see, and the dark curtain of the night continued to devour fresh lives.

The next morning, there was a drizzle in the sky, and the autumn wind mixed with the rain was bitterly cold. The autumn of Apocalypse City always has an ethereal beauty, known as "one step at a time", if there is such a rain in the past, I am afraid that many people will take to the streets, and those who like to be vassals and elegant sons will pretend to sigh a few words, perfectly hiding the stubbornness in their bones.

However, on this day, there are few pedestrians on the street, and if someone crosses the street, they will feel that there are countless scrutinizing eyes on them, and they can't help but feel creepy. In such a situation, even those lawless abilities in ordinary times seem to be extremely peaceful, and no one dares to provoke and kill the red-eyed two sides at this time.

Two open-top carriages, temporarily rented on the street, sped towards the West Gate, and Austin and Greene each took their companions, carrying forged customs clearance certificates, and their hearts were surrounded by both the joy of leaving and a trace of trepidation.

As the crowd approached the gates, the uneasiness finally vanished.

Contrary to what was expected, the city gate was crowded with people, and there were twice as many people entering and leaving the city as usual. The people inside no longer cared about the suspicions of the Holy See and were eager to get out of the city, while the people outside faintly heard the terrible news from the Apocalypse City yesterday, and the forces of all parties were impatient and wanted to find out all the news in the city as soon as possible.

The city defense camp at the city gate was also mixed with the people in the inquisition, and a executioner stood not far away, playing with the golden tassel hanging down from his shoulder, and looked at the team out of the city playfully, and the people he saw felt that their bodies were tight, and some people who already had ghosts in their hearts instantly weakened their legs, and they were about to kneel on the ground.

And the executive officer of his subordinates scattered around with a group of black-clothed soldiers, looking coldly at those who made a fool of themselves, but strangely, they did not make a move on them, just let them leave.

Davix and Gwenny were secretly relieved to see this.

"Austin, it looks like it's almost over now, and it's okay to get out of town, right?"

When Davix left the inn, he had already learned from his boss about what had happened yesterday, and he was shocked and felt a little unworthy of yesterday's reckless move, and at the same time there were some worries along the way, although Austin had assured that this channel out of town was completely trustworthy.

Austin glared at him and said, "I've always felt that there was no problem, it's you who keep asking questions." ”

Davix laughed, not annoyed by Austin's impatience. After a series of events yesterday, Davix and Gwenny have gradually taken the lead in Austin, and at this time he just can't suppress the excitement in his heart and wants to talk to someone.

Austin turned his head sideways and saw that the girl's face was still calm, but Green's expression became more and more nervous, and even put his right hand into the hem of his clothes, and he was in a state of being ready to draw a gun at any time.

Gwenny also noticed the strangeness over there, frowned, and said, "They're too nervous, why don't you remind me, I'm afraid I'll be affected by them." ”

Austin shook his head, his eyes kept looking over there, but the uneasiness in his heart was getting worse and worse, and the whole person began to tremble unconsciously, like a nightmare haunting him and couldn't control his body, and it was like being licked by a poisonous snake's letter, and the clammy and cold feeling went straight to the bottom of his heart.

"Wake up!" Davix snorted, and Austin suddenly woke up from his previous state, only to find that the cold sweat had wet the clothes on his back.

"What's wrong?" The two knew Austin's inexplicable talent and strong sense of danger, but this was the first time that such a big reaction had occurred.

Austin's face turned pale, and his already white face revealed a kind of dead ash at this time, and he looked up at Green sharply.

Green noticed the gazes of the three people here, his nervous face twitched, as if he wanted to show a smile, his lips moved slightly, "I'm sorry", the three of them understood what Green wanted to express.

"Kill him!" Austin's face instantly regained its blood, a loud roar, and his body burst up, after yesterday's killing, the power that had been promoted to the third order combined with the third-order combat system derivative ability "Instant Kill" made him almost disappear into the air, and then a faint phantom appeared on the carriage where the two of Grimm were located, and the moment the figure was solidified, the source force violently dispersed to all sides, as if an explosion had occurred, and the huge impact force instantly blew the carriage into pieces, and the aftermath made many pedestrians at the city gate fall to the ground.

But at the moment when Austin made a move, Green picked up the girl on his back and appeared on a nearby rooftop with a flash that made the faces of Gwenny and Davix, who were about to make a move, change their faces.

That kind of speed was definitely not something that the third-order ability that I had shown yesterday could do.

Green's body once again erupted with that cold and tyrannical aura, but the intensity was far from that of yesterday, like the Abyss Serpent finally woke up from hibernation and spewed out a poisonous breath, and for a moment the three Austin were suppressed and breathless.

However, this breath was not directly aimed at the Austin trio.

Looking at the pedestrians at the city gate who were suppressed and knelt down under Green's ferocity, the executioner in the distance reacted at the first time, and his excellent combat quality made him have nothing left, and his originally playful gaze became high in an instant, as if he was a messenger of punishment on behalf of God, and a holy white flame burned around his body, and an armor condensed by source power loomed over his body.

"Holy Flame Knight!" Davix exclaimed.

The Holy See's Executioners are all soldiers who have reached the sixth rank and completed the battle job selection, while the Knights of the Holy Flame are the most widely chosen profession due to their excellent offensive and defensive skills and the training that the Holy See personnel have been receiving.

However, the masses do not mean that they are mediocre, but that they have been perfected by the selection and research of countless generations of supernatural people.

The executioner grabbed the spear on his side, stepped forward, and then flung it violently, the flames on his body quickly gathered on the spear, and the moment the spear was shot, it emitted a piercing sonic boom, leaving only a distorted and white mark in the air, and the air seemed to begin to boil.

Green leaned sideways slightly, flicking his left arm, which was about to be torn, in front of him.

The executioner sneered, although his holy spear throwing was the most basic sixth-order ability of the Holy Flame Knight, but with his own talent, it could play an unexpected role at some point.

However, unexpectedly, although the Holy Spear exploded the moment it touched the arm, it did not emit a blinding white light as expected, but instantly annihilated along with Green's arm, which seemed to turn into a black hole, swallowing up all the energy around it.

With a spurt, a cloud of blood mist erupted from his left shoulder, and his left arm was directly separated from his body, and then he retreated sharply, trying to distance himself from the executioner.

The executioner drew his sword in his hand, and seeing that his little trick did not work, it was worth charging hard, and his body wrapped in holy flames attacked Grimm like a meteor, leaving a long tail flame in the air, and the raindrops falling from the sky were instantly evaporated, leaving a dry trace in a rain curtain.

Green looked at the rushing executioner and smiled evilly, while the girl lay on his back, a quiet smile that contrasted with Green's increasingly crazy look.

The executioner was deeply distressed, and suddenly saw an incredible scene: Grimm's severed arm seemed to flash black, and then the metal elements gathered wildly on his shoulder, and the executioner had just rushed halfway through the way when he saw a metal arm form, and the blood and gears flowing in it could be faintly seen powering it.

"Seventh-Order Heavy Gunner, God's Left Hand!"

The executioner saw the metal arm facing him, and the dark blue light in the dark hole in the palm of his hand was about to erupt, and his scalp could not help but tingle, regardless of the body's ability to bear it, forcibly stopped the momentum, and prepared to flash to the side.

However, several metal tentacles stretched out from the mechanical arm, and with bursts of electricity, they wrapped around the executioner like a spirit snake, restricting his movement.

"Tiger Devourer: Blue of Sorrow!"

With a low roar from Green, the blue pillar of light formed by the source force bombarded the executioner's body, and the executioner's slightly blocked long sword was melted into two at the first moment of contact, and the armor condensed by the source force was also shattered, and the source force explosion blasted the executioner away, but also allowed him to pick up a life under the heat wave brought by the next pillar of light.

Green struck a successful blow and roared excitedly, and was about to pursue, but he felt a faint source power injected into his body on his back, giving him a glimmer of clarity in his nerves that had been governed by the will to kill.

With a hint of apology, Green turned his face to the girl behind him and nodded, quickly scurrying towards the city gate.

The revolver in his right hand roared, and six incendiary bombs far beyond the normal level tore a big hole in the formation surrounded by the soldiers, and Green broke through as soon as he flashed, and did not forget to shout inside: "Thank you, little brother, run away!"

The three Austin faced the blackened soldiers around them, and their faces were extremely blue.
