Chapter 68: I'm sorry, Mr. Xia
Isabel was a little hard to describe how she felt at the moment.
It's as if you're walking alone on a dark path covered with fog, and you don't see the end, where you're coming from, and you don't know where you're going.
Suddenly, a man tears through the clouds and darkness, and is waiting for you at the end of the road, glowing all over.
"You.... Do you see me? Isabel said with a trembling voice.
"Look at what you said." Char said funny, "I'm not blind. ”
Char reached out and helped Isabel to her feet.
He looked around, "But, what are you doing running out so late alone?" The security of the imperial capital is not very good, and you are so beautiful. ”
"I...."
Isabel wanted to say something, but then, the monster's whine sounded in her ears, and her hairs began to clump upside down, and she took Char's arm and said.
"Let's go! Something is chasing me from behind! ”
"Is it a hooligan?" Char asked curiously.
Then, he continued, "Don't worry if it's a hooligan, I should be able to deal with it. ”
"That's not that simple!"
Isabel said anxiously that she wanted to pull Char to run with him, but her strength was too small to pull at all.
"Come with me!" She shouted.
"Roar!"
The moment her words fell, accompanied by a roar and a loud crash, at the end of the street, the giant beast tore through the rain and fog, and instantly crossed a distance of tens of meters like a chariot charge.
By the time Isabel reacted, the monster had already come to them, and the feeling of oppression like Tarzan's top suddenly dropped.
It grinned wide, baring its sharp teeth, and raised one arm that seemed to tear people apart with ease.
Isabel subconsciously closed her eyes.
"Boom!"
There was a loud bang, but the expected pain did not come, it was a very strange sound, like metal striking, like a church bell ringing.
She slowly opened her eyes, and the monster was still beside them.
But it was as if there was an invisible barrier between them, protecting them.
The monster was frantically using its claws to attack the barrier, but no matter how much it attacked outside, it couldn't shake the barrier for half a minute.
Isabel turned her head and saw Char still standing in place, holding a black umbrella, looking at the monster calmly and quietly.
The movement and stillness brought a great visual impact to Isabel.
"What a horrible guy." Char said.
"When I came to the imperial capital to open a store, no one told me that the emperor had this thing, I thought that at most there were only hooligans and drunkards."
He turned his head and saw Isabel staring at him, and he raised his eyebrows.
"As a tavernkeeper, isn't it normal for you to deal with some drunks with one or two hands?"
Isabel nodded a little confused, she felt.... Some of this sentence is true, but some of it is not quite right....
She looked at the monster in front of her in a bit of confusion as it tried to break through the barrier, the sound of a heavy hammer striking a bell one after another, and Isabel could even feel the ground trembling slightly.
She figured it could easily smash her head.
The current tavern owner has to deal with such drunks?
"What the hell is this.... What is it? Isabel muttered softly.
She was just talking to herself, but unexpectedly, Char on one side spoke slowly.
"If the soul is separated from the body, but does not enter the underworld, but stays in this world for a long time, it will be polluted by the filthy breath of this world, and gradually become abnormal and become some deformed monsters.
In the East, this kind of thing is called a wraith, while in the West, it is called an evil spirit, and it will have an instinct to devour souls, and the more souls it swallows, the stronger it becomes. ”
Isabel turned her head to look at Char, as the fear in her heart gradually subsided, her reason gradually returned to her brain, she looked at his side face, and continued to ask.
"So what are we going to do?"
"Don't do anything, just wait." Char said, "There will be people who specialize in this kind of thing." ”
Someone who specializes in this kind of thing?
Char said something like some kind of official professional department.
But Isabel is sure that even a well-trained army will not be able to face such an unknown monster.
Her mouth was slightly open, as if she wanted to say something.
Suddenly, a black shadow sped from afar, crashing straight into the monster at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye.
"Boom!"
The huge impact force directly knocked the monster dozens of meters away, crashed into the house on one side, and knocked the house out of a large cobweb-like crack.
The black garment swayed in front of her, and the bone mask was like a demon's grin, which made her heart tremble, but the most striking thing was the huge scythe that the man held in his hand, which was even higher than his, with a sharp blade and a terrifying chill.
A word popped into Isabel's mind, and nothing could fit it better than the thing in front of her.
The legendary guide of the soul, the god of the dead who brings death.....
As Isabel's mind was in turmoil, the Grim Reaper turned his head to look at her, and then rushed at the monster once more.
The huge scythe swirled around the Grim Reaper's waist, its blade whirring through the air, and the massive blade swirled to form a web of blades around the Grim Reaper.
The monster's IQ was obviously low, and it roared and swung its claws at the Grim Reaper from top to bottom, but then, the blade flashed, and the scythe slashed from the bottom right to the top, like slicing tofu, and the arm snapped.
But before the monster could let out a roar of pain, the scythe slid across its knees, causing it to fall to its knees.
Then, the Grim Reaper raised his scythe alof, like a executioner, and struck him with a single sword, and the whole process took place in only a few tens of seconds.
Before Isabel could react, the monster turned into countless points of light and dissipated into the air, and the breeze carried the hem of the Grim Reaper's clothes to wave, and the black death aura surrounded him, full of ominous aura.
The torrential rain was still pouring, and the whole city was shrouded in water and fog, and in the darkness of the night, it seemed as if it was in the underworld.
Then, as Isabel breathed stagnantly, the Grim Reaper's gaze turned to them, and even slowly walked towards them.
It was an extremely tangible sense of imminent death, Isabel didn't dare to move, and subconsciously grabbed Char's arm.
But she didn't notice that the person beside her was the opposite of her, still holding an umbrella, sheltering from the wind and rain.
The Grim Reaper came to the two of them, and then, under Isabel's slightly open eyes.
He walked slowly toward her..... No, it was the man beside her who bowed his head and bowed.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Xia, it's my dereliction of duty that caused you trouble."
