At one o'clock in the morning, gunshots and explosions rang out one after another. A fire broke out.

Despite the size of the campus of the University of Law, the knights on night patrol quickly noticed the movement.

When he arrived at the scene, he found that the lawn at the entrance of No. 14 Ronning Street was dry and burning; When there were corpses scattered in front of the door, blood on the doorway, and the lawn was still the trademark armor and rotten flesh left over from the demon dog's death, he immediately realized that this was no longer a problem that a second-level overseer could handle.

He didn't hesitate to turn around and run. After about 20 minutes, people from the Inspectorate arrived. Before that, the school workers had already received a call to complete the fire extinguishing here.

At the request of the knights, the scene was completely preserved, except for extinguishing the fire. No extra moves were made.

Because the content of the phone call was very serious, the scale of the inspection bureau this time was quite large.

At two o'clock in the morning, twelve overseers arrived in full armor on griffons.

"These people are supposed to be demonic scholars."

As soon as she saw the scene, a middle-aged woman wearing monocles in the lead immediately made a judgment: "I saw the aura of ritual spells. ”

In her sight, two of these people shone with the protective aura unique to ritual spells.

She took a closer look and confirmed, "The ritual effect isn't over yet, the battle should have happened not long ago." ”

"Director Atayal, look here."

A young male monitor squatted on the ground, wearing leather gloves, pinched up a shimmering red dust: "This should be Yan Jing." ”

"Well, I saw it."

The new female director nodded: "Judging from the traces, it was the flame of dedication that killed them. Originally, the power of the flame should not be so great, and it should be the use of the flame essence to amplify the flame. ”

"Director, there's no one inside!"

The inspector who went to investigate the house also returned and reported the news: "But there are traces of something being destroyed...... There may have been a battle inside! ”

"I'll take a look."

The director nodded, and asked the school workers and knights on the side by the way, "Who is the person living here?" Which teacher is it? ”

"It's a student."

The knight replied, "It's Ivas Moriarty." ”

Hearing this, Ataya was stunned for a moment, and her expression became serious.

She confirmed, "Is that the Ivas Moriarty who was honored?" ”

"How many more Moriarty, Ms. Atay." The knight responded.

"That's bad......"

Ataya muttered to herself, frowning, "Is it revenge?" ”

She beckoned behind her, "Mr. Dawn, please go back here!" ”

"Is it here?"

A middle-aged and elderly lawyer, who was already in his fifties, walked over slowly: "I can only retrace the actions of the deceased within an hour...... Are you sure it's here? ”

In his hand he held a silver-white elven staff, the tip of which was the symbol of Avalon, a silver triangle and an emerald set in the center.

After receiving Ataya's affirmation, the old lawyer's staff paused on the ground without hesitation.

I saw the silver-white runes condense into a magic circle and spread out from the ground in an instant.

Soon, silvery-white transparent and blurred silhouettes appeared on these corpses. Stand up like a lapse back in time and move forward against the clock.

"Wait a minute!"

Suddenly, Atay said hurriedly.

The next moment, the picture suddenly stopped.

Although the outline was very blurred, she could see it clearly—the knight with the greatsword had no lower body, but could float in the air. It appeared for no apparent reason, but there were no bodies there.

Her face suddenly changed slightly: "Blade Demon? ”

"What?"

Hearing this, the people around were also taken aback and came over.

"This man is followed by the Blade Demon," Ataya looked down at the man dressed like a lawyer with a distinct scorch mark on his face and chest, "Could he be the 'Blade Demon'?" ”

"Blade Demon" is a wanted criminal in the Lloyd's District Supervision Bureau.

They say they are wanted criminals, but in fact, they don't even know what each other looks like.

They could only be sure that the remnants of the Blade Demon had been found at the scene where the victims had been brutally killed—it was a demon scholar who used his supernatural power to kill innocents in order to summon and drive the Blade Demon.

Blade Demon is a relatively rare demon, at least in the Glass Island. So they named it "Blade Demon".

However, there are too many facts in the supervision sub-bureau of Lloyd's district, and other sub-districts are reluctant to transfer to Lloyd's district.

So the "Blade Demon" only exists as a name on the wanted notice, and no one even knows what he really looks like, whether he is male or female, and how old he is.

"Can you see that the Blade Demon was defeated by something?"

"It was hit by something."

Dawn pointed to the trail of its flight, "It should be something with a huge impact." But there are traces of the demon dissipating here, so I think it must have been the killing of its owner and the repatriation of the Blade Demon. ”

"Huge impact?"

Director Atayal wasn't surprised by the latter part. If you can kill the Blade Demon head-on, it must be at least the fourth energy level.

But in the first half, the more she thought about it, the more confused she became.

Only one thing is certain—the corpses of the two demon dogs in front of the door were obviously dispelled by the purification power. The armor on the outside is barely broken, and the carrion on the inside is intact. It's just that the curse that manipulates the corpses has been dispelled...... At the time of the curse, the carrion was supposed to be purple, but they are now the color of normal carrion.

"As far as I know, Ivas Moriarty is a priest. He had once defeated the Deformed Demon with the help of supernatural objects. ”

A young woman monitors what she writes in her notebook and casually replies, "He should have dispersed it himself." He can do that. ”

Ataya nodded, then shook her head again: "It's really possible." But the Blade Demon was certainly not what he defeated. He's just a pastor and has limited mobility. Even with the bonus of the Flame Spirit, it is impossible to kill the Blade Demon in an instant. And the Blade Demon is very resistant, so there should be someone else on the scene - at least someone who can physically hit the Blade Demon and even kill it. ”

"But there are no footprints, Director."

"He might fly."

Ataya replied, "It's also possible that it's some kind of spell...... Spells can also do this. However, there are no traces of magic left by the path of wisdom...... But it is also possible that it has been erased. A skilled mage can cast spells without a trace. ”

"In other words, there is a powerful mage who was with Ivas Moriarty and was attacked by four demon scholars."

The Superintendent muttered to himself, noting it in his notebook.

"It doesn't have to be a mage."

Ataya turned around and added, "It is also possible that the person is the one who devotes or transcends the path - after all, there are only traces of these two powers left on the scene." However, it is not excluded that it is a powerful person who adapts to the path and is extraordinary, and the ability to adapt to the path also has the ability to hide the traces of the path. ”

With that, she walked towards the house. Proceed to the next step of the investigation.

Under the impression of her monocle, there were traces of red and purple all over the floor.

Through these traces, she gradually traced her origins.

Looks like Ivus should have won.

With the help of that unknown helper, he defeated a group of demonic scholars who had attacked him in the middle of the night.

The fat man who had been shot in the head, the strange blast wound on his head was very familiar—it was the special bullet that Ivas had used to kill the demon scholar for the first time at the Pelican Bar.

This is apparently the person Ivas killed with his own hands.

And except for this fat man, the other three died in the flames. Moreover, there were two people who had almost no struggle before they died, and there was no trace of fighting or exerting force, indicating that they were killed instantly.

The flame spirits scattered on the ground are proof of his spell casting.

So Atayal gradually came to his senses...... This should be a high-level devotional path transcendent.

It's a simple assumption: if a person has enough power to defeat the Blade Demon head-on, then he doesn't need to use a weapon like a firearm, which emphasizes hitability, so those three people shouldn't have been killed by Ivus.

And if that helper is a mage, there's no reason for him to just use the fire ability.

"Collect the blood and take it for testing."

She pointed to the blood on the ground and commanded her subordinates.

Judging by the shape, it was a natural drop of blood. In terms of height, it should be an adult, not a wheelchair-bound Ehuas.

So he's hurt?

But the blood was only at the door, and it was gone inside.

Then he should have been healed immediately after his injury.

This is more in line with the inference of the "two priests".

There are traces of wheelchairs, from the doorway all the way to the living room. The living room was a little messy, and the table was knocked to the floor. And the candle fell to the ground and was snapped...... It seems that someone was interrupted when they wanted to use the "ritual fire".

Could it be that the two of them are fighting?

But there was no blood here, and there were no corpses. If there had been a battle here, it would have been the corpses left behind - the corpses at the door had not been cleaned up, and things had fallen to the ground. It didn't make sense, only Ivus's body was cleaned up.

Judging from this point of view, Ivas should at least not be dead!

Thinking of this, Director Atayal breathed a sigh of relief.

She had just taken over the position of Chief Gordon, and if the hero who had just received the Order of the Holy Sword was killed in her precinct just over a week, she would be in bad luck.

Soon, however, she noticed subtle shadows in the corners.

“…… Well? ”

She squatted down and observed carefully for a long time, and finally her face changed greatly: "This is ...... Shadow Fiend?! ”

How could there be a high-ranking demon like the Shadow Demon on the Glass Island!

The Shadow Demon had apparently not attacked the Demon Scholars, they were in a group—that is, one of the members of the Noble Red Society had summoned the Shadow Fiend!

When he saw that the four men had been killed, he followed them into the room. There are still traces of shadow power left in the cracks of the door, and this is the evidence.

While the two of them were healing, the Shadow Fiend swooped out, knocking them out and capturing them. That should be the whole story.

- When it comes to high-ranking demons like Shadow Demons, it's not something they can handle.

She didn't dare to slack off, so she could only report the matter to the Inspectorate.

And the first person to receive the report was her old boss, Inspector Gordon.

When he heard the traces of the Shadow Demon, he immediately thought of someone.

“…… Aless? ”

Inspector Gordon muttered in a low voice, "Is that you?" ”

After thinking about it, I still don't eat yet, and I'll eat after the update!

Update complete! The cat went to eat and came back to fix the typo!
