Chapter 39: Unsuccessful
Like a giant bat.
The man in the cloak turned into an afterimage and instantly rushed in front of one of the mercenaries.
With a wave of his hand to drive away flies, he knocked the mercenary's axe flying.
Then the other hand plunged directly into the mercenary's chest.
When the hand was withdrawn from the mercenary's chest, he saw that the scarlet heart on his hand was still beating slightly.
Seeing that his heart was held in the other party's hand, the mercenary couldn't even scream, and fell to the ground and died.
At this time, the man in the cloak looked at the bloody heart on his hand, slowly lowered his head and licked a mouthful of blood on it.
Seeing this, Al guessed the identity of the cloaked man almost immediately.
The slave of the blood clan in the dark creatures, popularly known as the blood slave of the vampire!
Judging the identity of the other party, Al breathed a sigh of relief.
Vampires also possess extraordinary powers, but they are not that powerful.
At the very least, vampires definitely don't have more power than the official wizard level.
Because any vampire who exceeds the official wizard level will be purified by their own bloodline and promoted to the blood clan!
The strength of this guy hidden under the cloak in front of him is indeed difficult for ordinary people to fight.
Even compared to Al, it's definitely better.
However, for El, who has been prepared for a long time with a sharp weapon, it is not impossible to fight.
And looking at the speed of the other party before, although Al can't compare, it's about the same.
One of the three silver arrows was slowly drawn from behind his back, and then slowly placed it on the metal bow.
I have to say that as one of the three deputy leaders of the Meteor Thieves, Rosen's metal bow is of excellent quality.
The bowstring, in particular, is powerful enough to allow El to exert all the strength of a mid-knight level.
With years of hunting skills, Al drew his arrows and placed them on the bowstring, a series of actions that were done silently.
The arrow was pointed at the back of the vampire, who was licking the heart of his hand.
However, just as Al was about to shoot an arrow, there was a sudden commotion from the center of McGonagall's village.
Immediately after that, there was the footsteps of a large group of people, rushing towards this place.
If it had been sooner, Al would have given up the arrow immediately.
But it was precisely at the moment when he shot the arrow that the noise and footsteps of those people were heard.
The silver arrow burst through the air, piercing the vampire's heart as El had expected.
Instead, as he turned to face the direction from which the voice came, he shot through the vampire's heart-gripping arm.
The power of the metal bow was so powerful that even the hard skin of a vampire could not resist it.
What's more, the arrows of the Silver Arrow are coated in a layer of high-density silver, which can destroy the tissues of dark creatures.
This directly caused the silver arrow to penetrate the vampire's arm and nail it to the wall of Jonathan's house.
A sharp roar of pain came from under the vampire's cloak.
Looking at the blackened arrow holes in his arms, the vampire glanced viciously in the direction of Al.
Then it turned into an afterimage and swept towards the alley next to Jonathan's house.
However, Al obviously won't let the other party escape like this.
He directly pulled out the cross sword at his waist, and the silver light around his body flowed, and he directly used the combat skill 'Swift Star' to fly forward.
Leading people with a sword, like a silver starlight, instantly pierced the distance between the tree where El was hiding and the vampire.
The vampire was startled at the sight of the silver starlight that flew in, and immediately took a big step back.
However, El had anticipated the vampire's action and reacted immediately.
The starlight landed, Al took his left foot as the axis, and his right foot suddenly exerted force, and his body instantly turned around with the inertia of the impact just now.
The cross sword in his hand stabbed the vampire once again into the heart like a starlight that suddenly folded.
Seeing the cross sword in front of him stabbing towards him, the vampire stretched out his hands and grabbed Al's cross sword directly.
It's just that the vampire obviously underestimated Al's strength.
Although he caught Al's crosssword, he was pushed backwards by El's force.
It was exactly the direction the people in McGonagall's village were coming from.
Once surrounded by the villagers of McGonagall, there is a master like El who is entangled in it.
The vampire knew very well that in that case, he would not be able to get away with it easily.
Therefore, when he discovered Al's purpose, he immediately let out a scream, and the power of his whole body exploded.
Directly knocked the cross sword in Al's hand crookedly, and then the black nails of the ten fingers of both hands protruded three inches outward, stabbing towards El.
Seeing the vampire attacking him, Al immediately returned to the defense with the cross sword in his hand.
Vampires don't have the ability to turn people into vampires, it's a supernatural power that belongs to the Bloodline.
But vampires' teeth and nails are filled with extremely strong toxins.
This toxin may not be fatal to a knight-level physical fitness like El.
But there is nothing wrong with a serious illness.
Therefore, in this critical period, Al wants to avoid being hurt by the other party.
And this, too, fell into the hands of vampires.
The moment El swung his sword to defend, the vampire withdrew his hand directly, jumped on the roof of the side and disappeared from it in an instant.
Seeing this, Al immediately prepared to follow the vampire.
As a result, before he could jump onto the house, an arrow suddenly came from behind and nailed it in front of Al.
"Don't act rashly, or I'll order the room, I'm afraid you won't be able to block so many arrows!"
As the words fell, a burly man dressed as a hunter rushed over with some men armed with bows and arrows and farm tools.
Seeing these people, Al sighed, he was hindered just now, and the vampire must have escaped.
At this time, chasing vampires is not only useless, but it will also be true.
In that case, Al may not be able to wash himself by jumping into the sea.
With his backhand, he plunged the cross-sword back into his waist and straightened the metal bow on his back.
Al looked at the group of McGonagall villagers in front of him, and slowly pulled down the hood of the cloak on his head.
When Al's appearance appeared in front of the eyes of the villagers of McGonagall, it immediately caused some people to whisper.
That's because Al himself is only sixteen years old.
At this time, several old and middle-aged people walked out of the crowd backwards.
Among them is Jonathan, a middle-aged man who once approached Al for help.
He was surprised to see Al here, but he didn't say anything because of the presence of the village elder.
Among the old and middle-aged people, a middle-aged man with significantly better clothes walked out.
There was a kind smile on his face, but it didn't change the seriousness in his eyes.
The middle-aged man looked at Al and said, "I'm the head of McGonagall Village, and my name is Gray.
Our village of McGonagall has recently been attacked by unknown persons, and many of the young girls have died.
Now that you're so sneaky outside Jonathan's house, I think you should give us an explanation.
Otherwise, for the safety of the whole village, we can only treat you as a prisoner. ”
For the outsider Al, Gray's words can be said to be very cruel and ruthless.
But for the villagers of McGonagall, Gray's words were incredibly agreeable.
Sometimes, people are like that, they are cruel and three points better than animals.
In the eyes of people at that time, there was no kindredness, only interests.
For Gray's words, Al was clearly prepared.
He looked at Gray and said directly, "I am not behind the events in McGonagall Village.
I just accepted Mr. Jonathan's commission to secretly protect him and his daughter's people.
As for why I'm here, it's because I've been fighting that guy for a while.
If you hadn't bothered me twice, I'd at least hurt the other person hard. ”
As soon as Al's words were spoken, an old man beside Gray rushed out.
He looked at Al and roared, "You outsider, how dare you speak like that.
You don't look at how many pounds and taels you have, and what do you say about hitting the mastermind behind the scenes.
What's more, who knows if you are the one behind the scenes.
In my opinion, it's better to arrest him and keep him under strict supervision. ”
Looking at the roaring old man, Al frowned slightly.
What he fears most is this kind of person, who knows nothing about himself, and likes to be smart the most.
Shaking his head, he just wanted to defend himself, but the bartender Ah Han came over with the two mercenaries.
Looking at the villagers of McGonagall and then at Al, the bartender Han spoke directly to the two mercenaries.
"Hey, you two, tell us what you're seeing. ”
Hearing the bartender Han's words, the two mercenaries trembled and told what they had seen and heard before.
After the two mercenaries finished speaking, the old man who had been roaring at El opened his mouth and didn't say a word.
Instead, it was the village chief Gray, who looked at El and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that this gentleman is not very old, and his ability is not small.
Listening to the words of the two mercenary gentlemen, you injured the mastermind behind the scenes just now.
Then I would like to ask what you used to hurt him.
After all, we had blocked him before, and the arrows we shot couldn't hurt him at all. ”
Reaching out not to hit the smiling man, Al looked at the smiling Gray, but he couldn't get angry.
He looked at Gray and replied directly, "I've been secretly investigating information about the people behind the scenes for a while.
I figured out that the man behind this was a dark creature, so I prepared.
It was an arrow wrapped in high-density metallic silver, and it was with this silver arrow that the man behind it was injured. ”
Hearing Al's words, the faces of the villagers of McGonagall could be said to have changed drastically.
Dark creatures!
In the hearts of ordinary people, it is an existence that is no different from the demons of hell.
How terrifying it is to have such a terrifying existence appear in his own village.
On the other hand, how powerful is a person who can defeat and injure dark creatures.
Suddenly, the villagers looked at Al, their eyes full of reverence.
