Chapter 433: The Mutated Pretender
In the midst of the clergyman's barrier in the square, Maffeo saw Camille, who was trying to get close to the out-of-control pretender, and she seemed to be there as soon as she could. Well, Maffeo wished those guys hadn't shown up, at least then it would be safer for Camilli to investigate than to confront them.www.biquge.info But when Maffeo thought about it, the appearance of these guys seemed inevitable.
Dominic wasn't the first cleric to reach the central square, and by the time he got there, the battle had already begun. His movements were a bit slow, so much so that Evie arrived in the square almost at the same time as him. In this case, there is not much verbal communication between the two sides. No matter how different the opinions were, every clergyman was unanimous in their opinion on the elimination of the pretenders.
"Perhaps Lord Golantis had foreseen this. Evie whispered.
"You may name it, but now that these guys are in front of me, it is at least a testament to me that I can give it a good time. Dominic pulled out the cross behind him and extended his left hand to give the cross a weapon blessing.
"Yes, that's what you are. Evie sighed and acted accordingly.
There were five pretenders in the central square, and it was unbelievable that Huttonmar was under the watchful eye of the Order. The only thing that can be proven is that the clergy in charge of patrolling today are a little distracted. Otherwise, they would never have allowed these guys to appear in such a crowded place, and the high-ranking priests of the Order did not want to see this, which would damage the reputation of the Order.
To add insult to injury, it seems that one of the Pretenders has mutated so much more, even turning himself from a human into a monster in a bloodthirsty battle that never stops. The priests didn't dare to arouse his thirst for blood easily, so they could only use the exorcism charm and the divine barrier to isolate the guy for the time being, prioritizing the other pretenders.
The Principality Guard had joined the fray early, but the clergy did not think they would be of any real help. The scene began to become extremely chaotic, with the pretenders recklessly attacking all life that came into view. The lack of coordination between the guards and the clergy resulted in their inability to effectively attack the impostors, and everyone was annoyed.
Dominic and Evie decide to avoid the noise and get rid of the impostor who has been temporarily isolated. It was the best option, because neither Evie nor Dominic wanted to fight alongside those guards, at least when it came to dealing with the Pretenders.
Squatting on the roof in silence for a long time, Maffeo finally decided to join the fight, and in a short time he made a speculation, one that he already thought in his mind that there was a high probability that it was true. The murderer of Count Damian's daughter was one of the five impostors in the square, and he hoped to find evidence on them that they were murderers. His purpose is very simple and clear, that is, to help Camille solve this matter once and for all.
On the other hand, Camilli's actions are somewhat inconvenient. Because the square was now closed to all but the clergy and the guards, she was stopped by the guards before she could make a move. So for a while, she could only stay in the barrier and anxiously watch the gradually white-hot battle. The combat effectiveness of these pretenders was obviously beyond the imagination of the clergy, and the clergy who did not have much actual combat experience were almost repelled by the pretenders just by looking at them, and some were even seriously injured. And the experienced clerics were unable to completely harm them with their extraordinary agility.
Maffeo returned to the ground from the side of the house, then drew his greatsword and charged at the barrier where Camilli was. The guards who blocked it immediately spotted the approaching Maffeo, and in the face of the menacing him, the guards formed a blocking formation in place, trying to stop this guy who suddenly appeared. However, Maffeo didn't want to waste too much time here, so the attack became necessary.
Using the easiest way possible, he leaped over the heads of the guards with a leap of the mountain, and restrained his attack before he hit the ground - so as not to make himself appear visibly hostile. A second wave of guards swarmed up, and Maffeo swept over half of the guards and rushed through the gap. At this time, he was only about ten meters away from the barrier separating Kamili, and before Camilli could react, Maffeo stepped forward and gathered his blood qi and slashed at the divine barrier with a sword. With a thud that almost shattered the eardrum, the sacred barrier gradually shattered.
"Go, Camille!" said Maffeo, loudly.
"You're too impulsive!" said Camilli, worried, as she quickly rushed through the shattered barrier into the plaza.
"It's better than staying outside and doing nothing. Maffeo jumped in and turned around and threw a blast of blood to repel the guards who caught up, and they really never gave up. Maffeo thought that the combat effectiveness of these guards could not be compared to the regiment of General Hoffman of the Delos Empire.
It was impossible to say that the movement caused by Maffeo did not affect the priests, so several exorcism charms quickly flew towards this direction. Maffeo, who first encountered this thing, didn't know what to dodge, so he had to dodge elsewhere. Camilli, on the other hand, landed firmly on the ground with her feet and released the Nian Qi Shield, which she used to use the moment the Mind Qi Mask unfolded to re-apply the Nian Qi to repel those exorcisms.
"Those guys aren't enemies!" said Dominic, noticing the commotion, yelling at his colleague over here. "If you're really looking for someone you can draw a talisman, then why don't you come and help me?" The exorcists wouldn't listen to Dominic, of course, but if it weren't for the fact that he had already arrived here, they wouldn't have allowed this paladin, who was arrogant in their hearts and didn't know how to be polite, to come here.
Maffeo and Camille left the place before the exorcist could make a decision, heading for Dominic. However, before the two had taken a few steps, one of the pretenders waved his claws in front of them. The shockwave it triggered when it appeared even knocked Maffeo back several meters away, much to the latter's annoyance. "Damn monsters. ”
"Maffeo, are you alright?" asked Camille as she unfolded her telekinetic defenses.
"I'm fine. Maffeo stood up and swung his greatsword twice in his hand.
The pretender sharpened his blade-like claws back and forth, and the sparks from the two minions brushing each other convinced Maffeo that the creature had no chance of turning back into a human. The black clothes were stained with civilians and guards—perhaps with a little bit of their own blood, and their bruised tendons and blood-red pupils that were about to bulge made them look particularly terrifying. And their skin is decaying at a rate visible to the naked eye, and then gradually turning into a hard, monster-like skin.
"Fuck, it seems that it's not just the quarantined pretender who has completely mutated. Maffeo scolded.
"Be careful, Maffeo. Camille reminded.
"I know, let's get rid of this guy. Out of the corner of his eye, Maffeo glanced at the suppressor in the ghost's hand, then swung his sword and slammed his sword at the pretender who let out a beastly roar.
