Chapter Forty-Eight: The Lurker
"Shh The blow worked, and the enthusiasm had already pulled away from the indulgence, leaving the four alone.
Four, whose throat was cut open, didn't look fatally injured at all, and as a ghoul, she didn't need to breathe anymore, so she just pressed her hand tightly against the huge wound on her neck to stop the excessive blood loss, and rushed to Three's side to ask for help while she was enthusiastically pushing away.
The strange thing is that the enthusiasm and the indulgence on her back did not react, and they did not mean to rush up to chase at all, so they silently watched the movements of Number 4 without saying a word.
At this time, Number Four no longer cares about observing enthusiasm and indulgence, and those who are willing to give their souls to the necromancer after death and seek resurrection are the most afraid of death, especially now that she has a longer time and life, she is even more reluctant to die. So the only thought in her heart now is that No. 3 will temporarily help block the enemy, even if she takes care of the wound on her neck, as long as she can stop the bleeding, such an injury will not kill a legendary-level ghoul.
No. 3 was also very cooperative, seeing No. 4 rushing over, he took the initiative to step forward and block No. 4's back when No. 4 crossed his side. But Number Four never imagined that something would happen that she couldn't understand. Just as she hid behind No. 3 and No. 3 helped her block the enemy, she suddenly turned sideways and made a backhand sword, directly cutting off her head without hindrance. A gray-haired human head flew high, its eyes bulging outward, and its frozen expression was still filled with disbelief in horror, but it had lost signs of life.
"Huh. Number Three raised his head and watched as Number Four's head rolled in the air, flew high and fell to the ground in an arc, dark red blood splattered in all directions, but miraculously not a drop splashed on Number Three's body. It wasn't until the head hit the ground that Three sighed softly. Disgusted, he threw the sword in his hand aside, flicked his fingers seriously because of the floating soil that had fallen on his body due to the explosion just now, carefully sorted out the clothes on his body, and finally took out a pair of snow-white silk gloves from his pocket and put them on his hands. With a very standard smile on his face, he bent over his chest and bowed gracefully to enthusiasm and indulgence: "Congratulations, Lord Enthusiasm and Lord Indulgence, and this familiar gentleman who suddenly appeared." Congratulations on successfully completing the tasks assigned by the President. ”
"That's also inseparable from your help, Lord Grace. Although she was weak and could only lie on her back weakly, she still took the initiative to speak, sneering with a sneering smile and saying, "If it weren't for the cooperation of the elegant adults, we would not have completed the task so 'smoothly'." ”
"Heh, the president's instructions, as a member of the guild, of course I have to do my best. In just a few tens of seconds, Elegance has changed himself from a legendary ghoul who cannot be exposed to a gentleman full of elegant temperament: "It is because of the tacit cooperation between us. to completely destroy them, hehehehehe. ”
"yes, hehe. The indulgent fingers trembled, but returned to their original posture, and the dried and coagulated blood stains made the charming smile on her face strange and bewitching: "Graceful Lord, don't worry, you have played the enemy so hard this time, and helped us so much, we will definitely repay you well in the future." ”
"I'm looking forward to it. Grace habitually stretched out his hand to the top of his head, trying to pick up the politeness but grabbed it, and couldn't help but show a very uncomfortable expression. He said distressedly: "I wonder what the two adults have about my work now?Or what is the opinion of this gentleman who suddenly appeared?Or do you want to continue the meeting in the City of Innocence a month ago?If not, I'm very sorry, this sudden change of identity is too unprepared." It's really uncomfortable. There's no way, please forgive me, I'll quit first. ”
"I'm not going to meddle in the internal affairs of your City of Innocence, and now I have only one problem. Pannis, who suddenly appeared, looked elegant, slowly narrowed his eyes, and said lightly: "For this group of cultists here. How much do you know, Mr. Grace?"
"I'm so sorry. Grace shook his head regretfully: "I just killed the ghoul I am playing now, and then disguised himself as his identity to infiltrate the temple, at most only five or six hours earlier than Lord Passion and Lord Indulgence, and I have no chance to obtain information at all." And I think you'll be very disappointed, because everyone here is a ghoul, even the necromancer who calls himself Zero is not a living person, they are not qualified to know the high secrets of the cult, and several adults are destined not to get the information they want, it's a pity, hehehehe. ”
"That's right. Pannis smiled faintly, squinted and looked down at his hands: "It's really a pity, hehehehe." ”
"Pannis. Sensing that Pannith was about to attack, Enthusiast suddenly whispered, "It's an internal matter of the Shadow Hand, you'd better not ......"
The enthusiastic words were not finished, but Pannis understood what she meant without an outlet, and sneered, leaning against the wall with his hands on his chest, making a gesture that had nothing to do with me. Enthusiasm changed the normal state of indifferent expressionlessness and gave Pannis an apologetic smile.
"Since the adults have nothing else to do. Elegant and calm salute, said with a smile: "Then I will go back to the guild first, I hope I can have a chance to cooperate with you adults next time, hehehehe." ”
In the course of the salute, the graceful figure suddenly became blurred, and finally turned into a mass of welcome, and only the laughter that perfectly matched the etiquette came from afar, farther and farther away.
"He had made up his mind to kill me and Indulgence by the hands of these ghouls. Enthusiastically watched Grace go away, his body suddenly shook, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Fortunately, Pannis, you suddenly appeared, so that he couldn't touch our hole cards, so he changed his mind at the last moment and gave up the plan to kill the two of us, and you saved us again, thank you." ”
"What the hell is going on with all this?" Pannis asked, frowning, "Why are you suddenly here, what are these ghouls doing, and how did the temple suddenly appear?"
"Actually, we'd love to ask. Indulgence no longer pretended to be strong, and said weakly: "How can you even show up? The news that we are here on a mission has not been revealed to anyone, and it is impossible for it to be revealed to anyone, how can you know?"
"We don't know. Pannis shook his head and said, "We came here because of other missions, and we never expected to meet you here." ”
"Don't talk about that yet. Enthusiasm grabbed Pannis's hand: "Hurry back and help Catherine and them, it's too late." ”
"They said they were going to settle the fight on their own, and I wanted to believe them. Pannis did not show eagerness, but said leisurely: "But now the time has passed, it is better to go back and have a look." ”
"Snort. Indulgence couldn't help but snicker, didn't pursue Pannis's words that he was still relieved of, and said on his back with enthusiasm: "Okay, hurry up and run back to see if it's more useful than anything else." But how can you help us, you've already discussed it before?"
"Yes. The three of them directly ignored the headless corpse of No. 4, and ran back in a straight line, but Pannis, who was still a little anxious in his heart, did not show his emotions, and replied calmly: "Your fighting voice is not small, so before you found us, we already discovered you first." I heard the number of opponents, and I guessed the strength of the opponents, and then I designed a few sets of plans to match your possible tactics, and that was one of them just now, and as for the actual effect, it seems to be pretty good. ”
"You're amazing. Indulgence couldn't help but praise, but quickly raised his eyebrows, and said with some uneasiness: "Oh no, the sound of fighting has stopped, will it be ......?"
"Don't worry. Pannis's face was calm, but he shook his head and said: "With Catherine's defense, even if she is alone, it is impossible to be completely defeated in such a short period of time, not to mention the assistance of Lina and Vivien." If anyone had told me that a legendary mage could kill all three of them, plus Marcia, in such a short period of time, I would never have believed it. I don't think it's that easy for the two of you to kill Catherine without a sneak attack. ”
"That's right. Indulgence could only nod and admit: "Her defense is too high, Vivien's magic is always weird, plus Lina's healing and support ......"
"Can you wait and talk again?" In the distance, the voice of the knight girl came: "It's too quiet here without the sound of battle, we have heard what you say, come here quickly, we are almost exhausted." ”
"It looks like a win. Pannis's gloomy expression finally thawed, and his usual lazy smile was put on his face again, and he sped up and ran over: "How is it, is the injury serious?"
"The injury is fine, not serious. The priest girl interjected weakly: "It's just that the mental wear and tear is a bit excessive, and I'm afraid it won't be able to slow down in a few days." ”
Pannis hurried back to the room where the altar was located, and as soon as he entered, he saw that the room was scorched black everywhere. The former necromancer was left with only a hole in his chest, and he collapsed in the center of the altar and could no longer move. The four ladies, however, were lying figuratively in the corners of the room, fatigue eroding their bodies, so that none of them would move any longer. (To be continued.) )
