Volume 1 The Road to Rise Chapter 008 Missed
"See Satan!"
Nock cursed, got up from the ground in pain, and jumped out of the window to chase the monster.
But the monster's advantage is too great, even if it has an expensive Mithril dagger stuck in its back, it is still "walking like flying" from building to building.
Nock could only spread his legs and jump on top of the buildings, trailing behind the monster.
"Suck and Suck ~"
Nock sniffed vigorously at the smell of blood in the air, the smell of wounds on the monster's body.
There was no trace in the air except the smell of blood.
There is no dark aura called by dark creatures, no magic fluctuations of subhumans.
This made Nock wonder.
Is that monster really not a monster?
Or is it that the other party is a higher being?
But judging from the short encounter just now, although that monster was agile, it was not beyond the scope of Nock's response.
Even, if it weren't for Nock's mistake for thinking that the other party was a monster, and he had been restrained by the Mithril Dagger, and was successfully attacked by carelessness, the other party might not have been able to escape from Nok's hands.
"Since it's not a monster, it's not a subhuman, so what the hell is it? Its wisdom is not low. ”
Nock chased after the monster as he thought about it.
There is no doubt that the other party is wise.
Those who know how to show weakness to the enemy and ambush and attack are more clever than many sub-people.
And the other party even runs away to take the target, obviously, the monster is not attacking women indiscriminately, but purposefully attacking women.
"Looks like I'm missing something."
A flash of inspiration came to Nock's mind, as if he had grasped something, but it seemed that he was still missing.
But now he didn't bother to think about it.
The unconscious woman can be saved, but if she can't, she can only be considered unlucky.
But that Mithril dagger, not only is it priceless, it's also a relic left by Sister Merry to Nock!
Even Father John didn't know about its existence!
Because, according to the old nun's last words, this dagger was placed in Nock's swaddling clothes, and it was abandoned at the gate of the monastery with Nock!
In other words, Nock is the owner of this dagger, and the dagger is also a clue to Nock's background!
Even if you can't save the woman who was attacked, that dagger must not be lost!
Suddenly, the figure of the monster in the distance suddenly descended and disappeared from the roof.
"Not good!"
"Wind Elves, who walk in the air, listen to my cry, lend me your strength, and make me light and fly!"
Call~
With a fresh breeze blowing on his face, Nock felt the wind element around him come alive.
A pale cyan light shrouded Nok, and Nok's speed tripled.
Shout!
Nock turned into a green glow and pounced towards the spot where the monster had disappeared.
In the darkness of the night, the professionals and bounty hunters who were already hunting in other areas stopped and set their eyes on where Nock was.
"It's so rich in magical elements, when did Britain have such an excellent mage?"
A mage from the Magic Guild was even more puzzled and cast a probing spell at Nock's location.
Because Nock's magic fluctuations are so unfamiliar.
After all, magicians are extremely rare, and every single one is very precious, even magic apprentices and magic guilds have records.
"Have any new people from our union come to report recently? How did I not know? ”
However, the mage had only detected the magic fluctuations left behind by Nock, and as for Nock himself, he had long since disappeared into the streets of the night.
Nock had no idea how the magic he had stolen would affect the Magic Guild, or how much trouble it would cause him in the future.
At this moment, he can't care about thinking about what he has and doesn't.
In the deserted private estate, Nock has once again fought the monsters.
When he catches up with the monster, he finds that the monster has pulled out the dagger on his back at some point, and is holding a dagger belonging to Nock, trying to kill the lady he has captured!
Naturally, Nock won't let it succeed!
This is obviously to frame Nok!
So, Nock condensed an arrow of light and shot it at the monster.
And just like that, the two sides fought again.
But after a while, Nock became more and more frightened.
The monster has a lot of combat experience, and even knows the moves.
Even Nok, who had been fighting with dark creatures for three years, was suppressed by the other party.
You know, that monster's back is hurt!
But even when he was injured, Nock was chased away by the other party.
After observing during the battle, Nock came to a conclusion that made him tremble.
That's not all the monster's strength!
The monster's red eyes and occasional pauses in battle tell Nock that the monster is in a state of emotional madness.
If the opponent can calmly fight with all his might, maybe Nok has already lost!
"Bastard! It seems that I am still too kind. ”
"Let you, you monster, see the glory of the Lord!"
Nok, who has no weapons in his hand, has been using the light arrows condensed by the magic of holy light to contain the monsters.
But in the face of the monster's claw attacks again and again, he was very embarrassed.
If the dagger was still in his hand, he would be able to resist even if he couldn't cut off the opponent's claws.
But the dagger was wrapped in the monster's tail, and from time to time while Nock was not paying attention, he attacked Nok.
The cloak on Nock's body has been cut several times by the dagger!
Fifty gold coins! That's it!
Nock's heart hurts so much that he can't pay attention to the warnings of the one back then!
He pushed the monster back with an arrow, put his hands into his cloak, and grasped the two weapons on his waist.
That's the hole card he's been playing for three years!
Except for the first mission, he used it once, and he hadn't used it again in three years.
Today, it's time to see blood again!
However, at this very moment.
The clock struck midnight.
A bright moonlight burst out of the east.
Today turned out to be the last quarter moon!
"Roar!"
"No!"
Seeing the moonlight monster, he let out a cry of fear, and even covered his face with his hands, threw down Nock and turned around and fled.
Nock, who had just wanted to make a big move, was stunned by this turning scene, and for a moment he froze in place, forgetting to attack and pursue.
"Wait! Don't run! You give me back! My dagger! My dagger! ”
Nock let out a cry of grief and chased the monster in the direction where it had disappeared.
But where are the traces of monsters at this time!
Just as Nock was about to continue tracking the monster with the smell of blood, a barking sound reached Nok's ears.
"Wang! Barking! ”
"Over there!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
"Gotta catch [Ripper]!"
Loud and messy footsteps came, and Nock knew that the patrol was coming.
After all, he had been fighting the monster here for so long, and the patrol couldn't react before he saw the ghost.
Although he thought that his dagger was more important, Nock's body honestly stopped the pursuit and turned and walked towards the abandoned manor.
As a priest, he couldn't really see death without saving.
This is the teaching of Sister Merry and Father John.
He returned to the abandoned manor, picked up the unconscious woman, sorted out her clothes that had been stripped by the monster, and left her at the gate of the manor. Nock then disappeared into the darkness, leaping onto the top of the building and disappearing into the night.
The patrol officer, who was belated, soon found Daisy in a coma.
After confirming that the unconscious woman in front of them was the missing Daisy Green, the patrol officers finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But more often than not, it's ecstasy.
Because, this is the first woman to survive the murderer of [Ripper]!
As a victim, Daisy Green must know something about the killer!
At this moment, the patrols didn't care about anything else, and a group of people brought the unconscious Daisy Green back to the police station, and at the same time, invited the best doctors and nurses from the British Hospital to the police station to treat Daisy.
As for why not go to the priest of the Cult of God.
That's because all the transcendent professionals have a rejection of this group of new professionals composed of ordinary people.
Relying on the so-called technology, he dares to call himself a professional, it is simply ignorant.
Thinking that killing one or two low-level monsters with scientific and technological weapons dares to shout that a new era is coming and that they want to replace the professionals of the "old era", this kind of absurd remarks naturally makes the so-called professionals of the new era become a thorn in the side of the professionals of the old era.
Of course, the professionals of the old era are too lazy to see the so-called new era in general.
After all, what competitive can be with an injury that can be cured with a single treatment, but it takes a few days or even a month or two for those so-called doctors to heal?
Even the so-called musketeers were vulnerable to heavily armed fighters.
As long as you dodge the first shot, any professional can kill the Musketeer hundreds of times between reloads!
Only a team of muskets can pose a threat to the pros.
All in all, the "old era" does not take the "new era" seriously, and the "new era" desperately tries to prove that the "old era" is outdated.
Now the case of [Ripper] is being used as a label to prove itself by these "new era" people in the police department.
Therefore, they finally found clues, and they desperately tried to wake Daisy up and get useful information from her.
But when they learned from the sober Daisy that [Ripper] was a monster, they all fell silent.
Seeing that his colleagues were immersed in the news that the murderer was a monster and couldn't extricate themselves, a team leader took the lead in speaking.
"Director, it seems that [the Ripper] is really a monster. That Mr. Holmes didn't talk nonsense last time. Should we apply for support? ”
"Support? Who to turn to? To the old days! ”
Hearing the group leader's words, the director let out an angry roar.
As one of the first police commissioners of the Lionheart Kingdom, a pioneer of the new era (as they think he is), he will never bow to the old!
The scolded team leader covered his forehead a little collapsed, and explained helplessly: "Musket team, I mean musket team." Although we also had muskets, we didn't have many men and had to be scattered out to patrol the neighborhoods. ”
"Although there are no homicides in other neighborhoods, thefts, robberies, these are also things that we need to deal with."
"Now that we've replaced the old city guards, we have to do a better job than them."
"But in this way, we will not have enough manpower to encircle and suppress the monster [Ripper]."
"Although I don't want to deny it, the strength of our patrol officers in single combat is indeed inferior to that of the professionals of the old era. The gap between the fills of the ammo after the shot is enough for the monster to kill us several times.
Although the patrol officers also have swords, our patrol officers' swordsmanship is really not complimentary.
I'm not alarmist, I think everyone here has seen the power of monsters, even if it's just a low-level monster, it's not something we can fight alone. But the old times were able to do it! ”
"So guys, if we want to revitalize the new era, we must understand the trade-offs. There is no shame in asking the Musketeers for help, at least, they are also a new era! ”
The group leader's words echoed in the conference room, causing deafening everyone present.
The director even brightened his eyes and said, "Well said! Young sir, you are very insightful, from now on, I will promote you to the captain of the police station, responsible for coordinating the case of [Ripper], whether it is an arrest or a killing, it is up to you to decide, I don't look at the process, only the result. I will give it all to me, and I hope you will not disappoint me, nor will you disappoint Her Majesty! ”
"Yes, sir!"
