Chapter 65: The Night Walker
For a few hours in the afternoon, Mary and Esther were still leisurely walking in the harbor of Behrens, but Esther had quickly memorized the places they had walked and gradually sketched a rough map of the area of Behrens, including the two nearby churches of the Goddess of the Night and the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom.
It was getting dark, and no matter how worried Mary was, time would not stop for her for a few more seconds.
As Esther longed for the red moon to rise, she had already chosen a place, halfway between the two church churches.
Esther didn't know the strength of the official Extraordinaires here, and she wasn't sure if they would make it to the scene in time, but at least they could be aware of the unusual movement and track down the group of guys who were following behind the two.
After the matter is big, just let this group of people be busy fighting each other.
The streets of Behrens are not well planned, and most of the area has the impression of being disorganized. Intian and Byran houses are staggered together, sometimes interspersed with buildings in the Rune or Fursak style, and only close to the periphery of the rainforest are more often the residences of the local Byron residents.
"Mary, are you ready?"
"There's nothing to prepare for at all, we've been hanging out."
Esther smiled brightly, "yes, so I'm just asking you, you should be able to keep up, right?" β
"No problem, after the physical strengthening, this aspect has improved, and there is no problem if you run and hide quickly." Mary tightened her shirt and rolled up her cuffs again, making sure she wouldn't be restrained later, "If it weren't for these annoying guys, I would have been able to go and drink another night today." β
Esther moved her fingers, "Or I'll steal the idea you want to drink......
"I don't need to!"
ββ
The black-robed man who followed the two was also waiting for the night to come, and when the crimson moonlight fell, it was when their special power could become stronger.
Because the target seemed to be just an ordinary female sightseer, the two blood servants, who were not very smart, followed very casually, and after seeing them walk into a rather dark and remote empty street, they only felt that this was the best opportunity to do it.
The master's orders were to observe them during the day, and then find an opportunity to do something to them at night, and bring the two of them to the agreed place, as long as there was still breath.
For two people who don't know much about the extraordinary world, this little thing couldn't be simpler in their eyes.
On the other end, someone followed the spirit lurking in the shadows, and after a brief communication with the weak spirit, he said to the two servants beside him: "You take a detour to the opposite street, this is not something you can participate in, just keep an eye on the direction they may leave, and we will let the two heretics go first." β
The two blood servants rushed into the alley, but they didn't expect to face the black muzzle of the revolver, and the brass-haired lady covered her face with the black headscarf she had been tied.
The other party was carrying a gun, which was something that the two blood servants did not expect at all, and more importantly-
She's only one person!?
Esther, who turned to the top floor of the bungalow next to her, chuckled, and her face was also covered with a silver mask that covered half of her face, and waved her hands without any gloves at the two people below: "Hey! β
When the two subconsciously looked up at her, Esther quickly grabbed at the two of them, stealing the idea of their actions.
Mary's revolver shifted slightly, striking a bullet at each of the two immobile "targets". While leaving wounds that hinder their movements, Mary also unleashes the "arrogant" ability of "bribery", which affects the mental judgment of the two stalkers.
And Esther clasped her hands together and pulled out the "Pale Bone Nail" from her palm, and as a layer of light flew up from the bone sword, hovering around Esther, the cold aura was no longer restrained, and spread unscrupulously.
Esther could clearly sense the spirit of nature wandering nearby, and they all conveyed fear and surrender.
Such a movement should be enough to attract the attention of the nearby churches, including the young man who controlled the spirit hanging behind him.
For those who believe in the "Grim Reaper", this should be enough of a thrill.
Esther danced the bone sword in her hand in a circle, drawing an arc, and the points of light that had just floated were recalled and covered on it, compressing all the cold power back.
At this time, it would be fun to just lift it up and shout "Sword of Contract Victory"*, but even if you play it like this, no one will know the inside story, which is a shame......
Esther suddenly heard the sound of a flute, which was high-pitched, sharp and cold, but the echo of the flute set off a gloomy and cold atmosphere.
Mary shivered below, feeling a layer of goosebumps on her body, this sudden drop in temperature was very abnormal in the Southern Continent, she immediately rushed up and shouted: "It's time to go!" β
Esther lightly kicked the bulge of the faΓ§ade from the roof and landed on the ground at a budgeted angle: "Hurry up, it should be a psychic path!" β
However, there was more to this alley than just Esther and Mary.
The two blood servants let out a frenzied howl, and they suddenly tore at the cloaks on them, and the moment the hoods fell, Esther and Mary saw each other's scarlet and irrational eyes.
"Run! To the right! β
Esther grabbed Mary's arm, and had no intention of entanglement with these two out-of-control blood servants, the person who blew that flute must have been nearby!
Mary hurriedly followed Esther's footsteps: "This is not the same as the appointment, isn't it the direction of the Night Church!?" β
The ground trembled faintly, and just as Mary ran to her feet, a white bony arm stained with dirt poked out of it and grabbed her ankle.
Esther grabbed Mary's shoulder with her backhand to help stabilize her body, and with her right hand, she swung out the "Pale Bone Nail", and the moment it touched the white bone arm, the dry bone sticking out of the ground suddenly rotted and dissolved into an illusory black smoke, which was absorbed by the bone sword.
Mary couldn't help but scold: "Bastard, come as you say!?" I hate this weird extraordinary ability the most! β
"It doesn't matter, the high grid has suppressed the low position, and this level is also very easy to deal with."
The sound of the bone flute suddenly became sharp, and one after another fragmented bones burst out of the ground, quickly forming a leopard made purely of bone structure, and the bone fragments of this body were different from old to new, as if mixed with the bones of different species.
It's like using white bones as building blocks.
Esther jumped out on tiptoe and raised the "Pale Bone Spike", but the person controlling the leopard seemed to deliberately increase its speed, and as soon as the bone claws kicked the ground, it spun lightly with Esther.
Although the speed of the bone leopard was always a little worse than that of Esther, every time the pure white bone sword grazed its body, the bone would be shattered instantly, allowing the broken bones to be absorbed by the bone sword, and then new bones would drill out of the ground to fill in the missing limbs.
It's endless, the other party is waiting for a new turnaround, and is not in a hurry to solve us but is happy to fight, they are waiting for help?
Esther frowned, since this is the case, it is even more necessary to deal with this thing quickly.
A puff of light burst out of her hair, and as it swept through the darkness in the crimson moonlight, a gentle round wheel emerged around the bone leopard's body, instantly encircling it in the middle.
Mary's eyes widened, and this time she could see much more clearly than the last time, the bone leopard, surrounded by aura, kept repeating the process of pounce and flying upside down.
"Let's go."
Even if Esther didn't say anything, Mary knew to keep up with her as quickly as possible, and the two quickly melted into the night.
The black-haired young man playing the bone flute also stopped, he squatted on the roof, and looked at the Night Church not far away with his warm eyes, and through the information returned by the spirit, he knew that other extraordinary beings were rapidly approaching here.
The two Blood Servants who had gone berserk and attacked everywhere had caused too much movement, and the heretics had come much earlier than he had expected. What the hell are the masters of the Blood Servants doing? It's so stupid that it's unbearable.
Lord Pale Hand will love the news, the remains of the gods have not only appeared, but are also in the hands of a clear target.
Although I really want to continue chasing, but the other party has enough deterrent power to limit the spirit, and there is no way to continue tracking, and the support is too slow......
The young man sighed, put away the bone flute in his hand, and soon hid in a simple thatched hut where the natives lived, and with the respectful and happy attitude of the master's family, he told them what to say when asked.
ββ
Esther was the first to come to Port Behrens, but Mary thought she was incredibly familiar with the streets and alleys, and the two of them had even passed through the garden behind other people's houses several times.
When spotted by the guard guarding the door, Esther naturally grabbed her backhand, and took advantage of the moment when the other party was dazed, and decisively took Mary on, crossing the fence and turning into the street on the other side.
Every now and then, a point of light would fall from Esther's head, drawing an arc of light around the two of them and drifting back, constantly attracting Mary's attention.
"Are you really the first time in Port Behrens?"
After the two of them had climbed up the tree on one side of the stone wall and landed on the other side of the square, Mary finally couldn't help asking.
"yes, why do you ask that?"
Esther kept revisiting the places she had observed during the day, and led Mary quickly to the shore.
"Because you're so skilled! Would you normally think of jumping out of someone's garden? I've climbed the eaves a few times. β
"The buildings here aren't that complicated, and they're more visible on the rooftops, so it's better to go around the more cluttered streets, and we've already got rid of those two groups."
As the two of them left the noisy streets, Esther felt a lot more relaxed, she put away the "pale bone spikes" and put the gloves back on.
Mary patted Esther on the shoulder: "Even if we all walked through the day, normal people wouldn't remember all these places in their minds so completely, believe me." β
"I always think you have something in your words." Esther replied confusedly.
"You may really have the talent to be a thief......"
Esther grabbed it with her backhand, and what Mary wanted to say disappeared from her head immediately.
Mary's eyes immediately emptied: "Huh? What were we talking about? β
"Nothing."
