Chapter XXXVIII

Something is fleeing at eleven o'clock!

Although Colin still didn't notice anything from the naked eye or smell, he believed in his feelings, and decisively took out a handful of cracked bone spurs and rushed towards that place!

This is the item that stabbed him in the waist during the previous incident.

Once stabbed by it, the organs of the whole body will quickly fail due to edema, even if he is in a state of bestiality.

Da Da...

As soon as he came ten meters away, there was a sound in his ears that the time-stopping effect was about to end.

However, he is already in front of the target position!

With some kind of fighting instinct, Colin gripped the bone spur handle and stabbed the "air" in front of him.

Click-

Faintly, the sharpness of the front part of the bone spur seemed to pierce a layer of hard protection, and then it pierced into something that felt like flesh.

In the midst of lightning and flint, without waiting to think about it, a picture suddenly appeared in Colin's mind...

In the picture, his head flies up, and it seems that he has undergone another decapitation.

Immediately, before the time-stop effect completely disappeared, Colin decisively released the dagger and rolled to the left.

Airplanes...

A deadly and insidious voice swept overhead.

Colin did not get up immediately after rolling, but took advantage of the situation to lie down on the ground, instantly drew his gun, and raised his gun towards a seemingly empty place.

When the trigger was pulled, the fire flickered, and several bullets flew out and disappeared directly.

"Hit?"

Colin didn't hear the sound of a bullet hitting an object, whereas under normal circumstances, it would hit the house behind it anyway.

There is only one possibility for this scenario.

The bullet hit ....

However, because he couldn't see the target, he didn't know how effective it would be.

"Well, this feeling of hitting the cotton with a fist is really uncomfortable."

Colin let out a low curse, then rolled over with his right hand on the ground, and while pulling out a bullet to reload the left wheel, he was wary of his surroundings.

Once you get stabbed by that dagger, you can't do nothing!

Then just wait.

Sure enough, after more than ten seconds, there was a sudden sound of liquid dripping in the direction of three o'clock!

Colin immediately turned his head and saw a humanoid silhouette protruding through the air, and it became more and more distinct.

The opponent's similar stealth ability is failing!

Colin was shocked and realized that it was because the bone spurs had worked!

As he watched warily, he saw a humanoid creature clad in torn armor with a handful of white bone spurs stuck in its chest gradually appearing.

Beneath its armor was not flesh and blood, but a large amount of black and strange gelatinous substance, without a helmet, and its head was wrapped around a kind of filthy linen cloth like a mummy, and the linen cloth was faintly oozing with nearly black dirty blood, and the appearance of its facial features could not be seen.

In its remaining left hand, it carried a broken rusty sword.

Colin even saw holes in his body that a few of his bullets had punched into it, but those holes had little effect on it.

At this moment, it seems that because the dagger is still in effect, its body is becoming more and more swollen and filled with water, like a corpse that has been soaked in a pool of water.

The air was filled with a disgusting stench.

"I don't think I belong to the living."

Colin's eyes drooped slightly, his body leaned forward, he had a gold card in his left hand and a gun in his right hand, and he assumed an attack posture like a cheetah.

It was at this moment that the humanoid monster in the torn armor, dragging the broken sword of rusty iron, moved its legs, and walked towards him step by step, to launch a final charge.

However, before it could take two steps, its edema seemed to reach its limit, like a balloon that had been blown up, and black pus oozed out of its pores and gathered into a stream and dripped to the ground.

The swollen body like the giant view, not to mention charging, is even difficult to walk.

However, to avoid surprises, Colin used the gold card again when it was close to the effective range.

This time, the refilled bullets were fired again, leaving six holes in the monster's surface.

At the end of the pause, Colin felt a strong sense of time confusion strike over him, and then noticed that the humanoid monster had fallen to the ground at some point, and six holes were gushing out of disgusting black pus.

It's like a rotten watermelon with a hole in it...

The foul-smelling liquid flowed all over the floor...

"Is it so miserable to be stabbed with this dagger?"

Colin's breath was sluggish, and he estimated that even if he didn't make up the knife, the monster wouldn't last long before it exploded.

The results of this dagger's first actual battle made people feel palpitations.

At the same time, as it fell, mission information came to Colin's brain.

You have successfully killed a "Tainted Knight of Virtue.] 】

[Event 7 "Kill the Monster Guarding Outside the Door" has been completed, and the reward content will be settled after returning.] 】

"Defiled Knights of Virtue?"

Colin finally learned the monster's name, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the normal time process of this confrontation, excluding the ten seconds when the time stopped twice, is less than a minute, the psychological pressure it brings is really not small.

It's not that it's strong, it's that it's weird...

Fortunately, it's all over now.

But glancing at the corpse on the ground, Colin rolled his eyes and turned his head to look at his cheap subordinate, wanting to beckon him to help pick up the bone spurs.

As a result, when he turned his head, he found that his subordinate had a wrong expression, staring at him, his lips moved a few times, as if he wanted to say something, but before he could make a sound, his head suddenly fell off his neck.

Bang on the ground.

Blood burst from the broken neck and splattered into the air, like a rain of blood.

This...... I didn't have time to save it!

Colin was stunned, he realized that he had reacted fast enough at that time, and the reaction speed was probably only a tenth of a second.

As a result, Li Ming still couldn't be saved...

Is the sword out so fast?

And why did it take so long to cut off the head?

It's not scientific.

However, this blood rain did not last long, and Li Ming's entire body quickly collapsed, turning into gray mist, and swept towards the flames in the church.

"Go back and read the note and come back to life?"

Colin probably guessed the reason, and didn't know how long the process would take, so in desperation, he turned to look at the rotten corpse on the ground, and took out a monocle from his pocket.

[This is a strong person who can actively reduce his sense of existence and restrain his breath, so as to achieve a strong person who is difficult to be perceived, and in his lifetime, it is enough to be called extraordinary. 】

[According to the official name of the "Knight of Virtue", it can be guessed that his abilities are related to the "Eight Virtues", which may represent the "humility" in it.] 】

"Humility here refers to a tangible strength, not just moral honor?"

Colin thought for a moment, and only then did he notice that when the monster died, there were actually a large number of footprints and a special smell on the scene, which not only reduced its own sense of existence, but also reduced the sense of existence of everything related to it.

Compared to simple stealth, this ability can be much more troublesome to deal with.

"Tsk, if one virtue represents one kind of power, then I don't know what effect other virtues have, one is so terrible, if the eight additions are still there?"

Colin had a headache just thinking about it.

At the same time, he was also a little curious, wondering if the eight knightly virtues of this world were related to the eight virtues on earth.

Is it a simple coincidence? Or is it something made up by a former employee again?

Unfortunately, Colin is limited by his lack of knowledge of the world, and there are not many things he can guess.

And at this time, another message suddenly appeared in my mind.

[Agree to hand in the corpse of the "Fallen Virtue Knight" to get an extra 1,000 points, as well as an item with the corresponding trait.] 】

[Do you want to submit?] 】
