Chapter 32: The First Sight of Darkness (3)

The monster lurked in the darkness, waiting for its prey to fall into the net, and as soon as Ethan turned the corner, a wounded monster pounced from the other side, and it still had the sword marks left by the white knight, constantly oozing with bright red blood.

Ethan was the first to notice, a roll, deftly dodged, he fell to one knee on the ground, and the sound of screaming kept coming from his ears.

Hurry up!

Can't attract more monsters!

The hand sneaked into the trench coat, as if to take out something, and the next second the monster was about to attack, a figure rushed from the darkness, like a hero to save the world, with a silver blade stabbed into the monster's head.

The monster whimpered, but before it had time to struggle too much, it died.

Ethan was stunned for a moment, and quickly withdrew his hand.

"Ethan?"

Jiang Chenchuan was vaguely recognizable in the dark, and Ethan also heard the voice of an acquaintance.

"Let's go! Ewell, go up! ”

The swift sword wind sliced through the monster's body, and then, immediately after, severed the head that connected the nerves, and the monster fell weakly in front of the humans, and for a moment it was impossible to identify who those bloodthirsty monsters were.

"Yes, that's good."

Ethan hid behind Jiang Chenchuan and was at ease as an incompetent waste, and gave him a thumbs up after he slashed the monster.

"Hurry up, don't stop here."

Jiang Chenchuan turned his head and said, his face still had the blood splashed by the monster, and his blue eyes were a little decisive.

"I don't know what these horrible monsters are."

Ethan whispered as he ran up, the higher he went, the fewer monsters he encountered, that is, the monsters were likely to run up from the ground.

What a terrible thought.

Ethan couldn't help but shudder.

"I don't know, but I ......"

Jiang Chenchuan was also a little confused, those monsters were ugly and twisted, but no matter from the feeling of slashing or the fatal landing point, they all had a high degree of similarity with humans.

Mankind...... What is the Dawn Church doing......

The words of the priest are like seeds planted in the heart that take root and sprout at this moment.

The sound of wailing gradually moved away, and cutting the chains, Jiang Chenchuan pushed open the small door leading to the steeple of the church.

The spire is fully furnished, including instruments to send signals to patrol airships, and another energy pipe is connected to the site, which was originally set up for help.

"Uh...... You know how to do it......"

Looking at the complex instruments and devices in front of him, Jiang Chenchuan felt a little embarrassed, and he broke all difficulties to get here, but he couldn't call for help because he couldn't operate it.

"Don't worry, the Almighty God of Peace will bless us."

Ethan looked at ease, finding the energy switch hidden in the shadows, and began his work like a device technician.

"Does the Peace Church teach this?"

"Of course not, I'm just an ordinary mechanical student in the Atlas Alchemy."

Although Ethan was talking, the movements in his hands did not stop, and after the installation and commissioning, everything was solved smoothly.

"Got it?"

"Alright, just wait for rescue."

Ethan patted the dust on his hand and said, as soon as he came down from the spire, he realized something, naturally, Jiang Chenchuan also noticed it.

"Do you smell anything?"

"Well, I smell it."

Jiang Chenchuan responded.

It was the smell of burning, and the flames that ignited the precious portraits, velvet carpets, and tables spread at great speed, and the Cathedral of Dawn in the darkness was lit up by the fire.

The red light forged a hot line of defense, and the monsters seemed to be afraid of the fire, and they dodged one after another.

The flames spread all the way upward, thick black smoke billowing out of the staircase, incendiary bombs with fire swept through like meteors, and the silver-white armor reflected the firelight, like a merciless killing god, indifferently listening to the monster's painful howl in the flames.

"What's going on! Does the White Knight want to burn us to death!? ”

Ethan clenched his fists against the white wall and yelled out of the window, but no one could hear the struggle at the top of the spire, and the way down was blocked by smoke, and there was no way to escape.

"Perhaps, that's what they think?"

Jiang Chenchuan looked calmer, he observed the surrounding environment, the fire was burning, and he had been forced to die.

"Climb up, maybe there's a glimmer of life."

Jiang Chenchuan patted Ethan's shoulder, like a silent comfort, shook the cane sword in his hand, drew a graceful arc on the white brick, and after putting it into the scabbard, it became his useful skeletal cane.

So far, they don't have a good solution.

But survival is the eternal instinct of human beings.

In an instant, there was a strange movement behind him, and the monster that escaped from nowhere happened to run into them, and two humans, who looked weak, pitiful and helpless, happened to become the target of the hunt.

The twisted figure jumped up from the black smoke, with a beating spark, and the sharp claw blade swung towards Jiang Chenchuan, unable to dodge at all.

"Be careful!"

But then the sound of gunfire replaced Ethan's shout, and the bullet volleyed through the monster's body, and the blood gushing out was like a blooming red rose, and the monster fell heavily on it, struggled a few times, and then completely stopped.

Looking at the still smoking muzzle, Ethan scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Thank you."

Jiang Chenchuan didn't ask him how an ordinary student could carry a gun with him, but just thanked him and continued to climb up.

Ethan put away his pistol and followed.

"Ewell, do you think we'll survive?"

"Of course, look, help is coming."

Jiang Chenchuan responded.

The roar of the patrol airship came from far and near, and a bright pillar of light hit the two of them.

Never doubt the efficiency of the Knights of the Pure Temple, after Ethan sent a distress signal, the patrol airship came faster than anyone expected.

With the noisy roar, the long rope dropped from the patrol airship fell in front of Jiang Chenchuan and Ethan, and some of the survivors had been protected by the Knights of Dawn, and the entire church had been plunged into a raging sea of fire.

The hatch opened wide, and Ethan watched the church collapse in flames, revealing a look of regret.

"Any thoughts?"

Jiang Chenchuan sat beside him, the sound of the Pure Temple Knights talking in his ears, it seemed that there were some problems with their docking with the Dawn Knights, of course, they had no right to intervene in the matter between the knights.

"There are no ideas, everything that can be burned has been burned, as long as it is handled well, tomorrow the headline of the daily newspaper Bornia will say that it is just an ordinary fire."

The firelight filled the sight of the two, and the thought of everything that happened tonight was like a nightmare, filled with a sense of trance and illusion.

It's like opening the tip of a dark iceberg and passively rolling into a terrible whirlpool.

On the roof of a tall building somewhere, a black figure stood, almost blending into the night.

Not long ago, he was still the admired Father Louis in the white robe, no, no, he should be the anguished man in the confessional.

The distant light of the fire danced in his eyes, and he lowered his head to see a brilliant diamond glowing softly white, lying quietly in his hand.
