Chapter 48: Fierce Battle
On the streets of Damir Port Town, although the garrison did its best to stop the monsters that attacked the town, it was inevitable that there were still scattered monsters that passed through the defensive circle and entered the ordinary people's residential areas of the town.
Experienced people have already tried to ignite all the lighting objects at this time, so as not to be unknowingly taken away by those invisible monsters in the shadows and darkness.
Unfortunately, unlike mainland cities such as Beckland, Emmatt, and Pulitz Harbor, colonial islands like Damir lack gas, and the street lights on both sides of the street are sparse, with only a few dim candles and the crimson moon looming in the clouds, barely illuminating the ground and the outlines of the houses.
At this moment, a faint fog suddenly spread, and in the two-story houses near the north of the town, the lights that had been sporadic began to flicker extremely unsteadily, and in the blink of an eye, a large area was extinguished! With the abrupt cessation of the screams, the houses became pitch black, and there was no movement, as if they had not been inhabited for a long time......
Abner followed Mr. Gaston, with a revolver in one hand and a cane sword in the other, walking briskly through the streets that had gradually become quiet as they turned from noisy to quiet. Hugh was behind Abner's flank, ready to support the two men in front.
With a "woo", a dark wind swirled in the mist, making Abner's scalp cold. His spirituality had also been warned at this moment, so he stopped, and while turning on his vision, he reminded Mr. Gaston in front of him: "Watch out of your head! He knew that the Extraordinary Ones in the Liberal Scholar Sequence were relatively low in inspiration and might not be able to find problems.
Hugh, who had already activated the ability of the 'Ring of Prediction', raised his revolver and aimed it at the second floor of a house in front of him, firing several shots in succession.
Because a picture just popped up in her mind!
In the picture, a black figure the size of a watermelon burst out of the darkness on the second floor and instantly pounced on Mr. Gaston's ear.
Mr. Gaston apparently believed Abner's words, and without much thought, as Hugh opened fire, he instantly inspired an extraordinary object in his left hand, which was a jewel the size of a goose egg, on which was engraved with the mysterious pattern of the solar realm.
Then a pure light shone through the darkness, turning into a streamer, and lightning shot out, directly hitting the sneak attack from his ear.
Ahh
With a scream, the sudden black shadow was hit head-on by the light as soon as it approached! The Black Shadow had obviously been hit hard, and had to retreat, not daring to face the power of the Light again.
With the help of this clear light, Abner finally saw clearly in his spiritual vision what was attacking.
It was a bird that was about to rot.
The bird monster was floating strangely in the air at the moment, its small head was covered with mold spots and maggots, and its skin with yellow-green liquid was obviously loose and sagging, but it outlined the outline of the bones. Looking at its appearance, you can vaguely recognize that it was once a pigeon.
There were no eyeballs left in its eyes, only two black holes, and a few maggots burrowing through the holes...... The beak was also mutilated, revealing sharpened teeth mixed with blood!
Rotting pigeons with teeth? The monsters are really very distinctive! Abner was amazed, but his attack was not slow, and he saw five or six wind blades appear out of thin air and cut towards the demon pigeon. This is the extraordinary ability of the 'Wind Favorer' brought by the 'Sea Breeze Hat'.
However, the pigeon's fur had fallen off, but it was very nimble under the impetus of the mist around it, and not only did it deftly dodge the attack of the wind blade, but also pounced on Abner.
Seeing this, Abner did not panic, and suddenly a strong wind appeared under his feet, and in the blink of an eye, he withdrew a long distance.
"This is a demon mist turtledove, use the wind to blow away the mist around it!" At this time, Mr. Gaston shouted from the side.
Abner had read a lot of occult books from his teacher, and naturally he had also learned about the 'Devil's Mist Dove', but it was the first time he saw the real thing, and he didn't recognize it for a while, but now he was reminded by Mr. Gasstone, and he immediately knew what to expect.
"It turned out to be a demon mist turtledove...... Yes, turtle doves are also birds of the order Pigeon...... I remember it was written in the book that it relied on the fog that surrounded it for most of its abilities, and once it was blown away, it would be in a state of weakness for a short time. ”
Thinking so, Abner activated the "Sea Breeze Hat" again, and a gust of wind suddenly blew through his body, and the powerful wind pressure slapped towards the air, and for a while, a hurricane coiled around him, and the fog that filled the block was also swept away!
The demon mist turtledove did not expect that the mist that it relied on to fly was suddenly gone, and it fell from mid-air stupidly, and the three Abner seized the opportunity and raised the revolver at the same time.
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! Three demon hunting bullets from different guns pierced the misty turtledove's head, and its corpse fell to the ground, motionless.
Mr. Gaston took out a small mirror and looked at it carefully, before relaxing: "No problem, it's dead!" ”
Abner and Hugh also breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. You must know that some of the materials on the Demon Mist Turtledove may be the main material of some Sequence 7 potions, and its body is at least the strength of Sequence 7 level. If it hadn't been hit head-on by the Sun's Light at the beginning of the battle and had been seriously injured, it would not have been easy for Abner to kill him, even if he had some of the abilities of the Wind Favorer.
"You cover me, I'll collect the materials first, and then distribute the loot when the matter is over!" Mr. Gaston was experienced and said quickly.
"Good!" Neither Hugh nor Abner objected, and to share the spoils in such a dangerous place was to seek death.
After Mr. Gaston had disposed of the corpse of the Turtledove and put it into a tin box, the three of them continued on their way, walking towards a building to the northwest where there was obvious fighting movement.
They didn't go to the military line outside the town, after all, if they were left to be cannon fodder, there was no place to reason. They wanted to help defend the town from monsters, but they weren't stupid enough to put themselves in it.
"There won't be too many monsters leaking from the defense line outside the town, at most three or five, and except for those who are hungry like the Demon Mist Turtledove, most of them will find the extraordinary first. After all, the Extraordinary are more spiritual and more in line with their tastes. Mr. Gaston said as he walked.
"In fact, even a bird like the Demon Mist Turtledove with insufficient brain capacity has found us!" With that, Abner turned around and took out a sailor's hat from his bosom and handed it to Hugh, who was trying to hang his head.
"What is this?" Hugh asked blankly.
"This hat I made with ritual magic before, it can cover the wearer's face, you don't have to worry about the side effects of the 'Ring of Prediction' when you wear it." Abner explained a little. He admired Hugh's decisiveness, and although the young lady may have been shy afterwards, she did not hesitate to use the 'Ring of Prediction' when in danger. What a good partner to trust.
Hugh pursed his lips with his hat, but because of the side effects of the "Ring of Prediction", this otherwise normal action became extremely funny, and his lower lip was pursed almost to his nose.
Abner couldn't help but laugh and turned his head as if he hadn't seen it. Hugh put his hat on his head at this time.
……
In a small two-story building northwest of town, Anne Gwen smiled wryly at the tarnished arrows she had fallen to the ground, which she had just exchanged from a party to hunt the dragon's eye python...... I didn't think that it had already been used here before I set off.
What's worse is that even if it was hit by an arrow of bright fire, the monster outside the door was only repulsed, and if it weren't for the fear that there might be similar arrows in his hand, he would have attacked again long ago, instead of maintaining a confrontation like now.
"But it won't last long, at most a minute or two, it's going to be tentative, and if I show my vulnerability, I'm going to have to be killed with all my might...... But the military is still fighting with the monsters outside the town, and there is no rescue at all! When Anne Gwen thought of this, she couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and she couldn't help but think of her past, her father, mother, friends, and her once prosperous life......
Her mood slowly changed from frustration to regret, from regret to pain, and from pain to despair......
But at this moment, there seemed to be a dark golden light flashing in front of her eyes, and the invisible power quickly merged into her body. At this moment, she was like coming to summer, bathing in the warm sunshine and dispelling the cold in her body.
"Ahh The courage in her heart returned, and Anne Gwen screamed in fear, realizing that if it weren't for the help of the extraordinary power of the Sun Realm just now, I am afraid that she would have been bewitched by the evil ability! At that time, she will either end up losing control and becoming a monster or committing suicide in despair!
"That monster didn't even want to confront me...... Its attack has arrived a long time ago! After thinking about this, Anne Gwen was still a little nervous, but she was relieved inside. Because she knew that she could get out of the monster's control because of the reinforcements!
……
Half a minute ago, downstairs in the two-story building, Mr. Gaston looked at the ugly vicious dog that was repelled by the arrow carrying the bright fire with a strange expression, and said, "It seems that I just sold the arrow!" ”
"The obvious vertical eyes and human ears have grown into dog-like ...... That's the Devil of Despair, right? In the record, it is a monster contaminated with a variety of characteristics, not a demon that has been promoted seriously. The ability is very messy, and you can basically use whatever type of magic you have. Abner looked at the demon dog that had turned its head to look at them, and said fearlessly.
"How can a monster be promoted with potions seriously? But the Devil Dog of Despair generally has the ability to pollute the mind, so I'll activate the 'Sun Aura' first, and then we'll deal with it!" ”
