Chapter 51: The Death of "Steel".
Seeing a completely strange man walking out of the house where the "Flame" Daniz was originally hidden, the calm Skoll felt like his head was about to explode.
This is the trap, they came to "hunt" us...... Was it the official extraordinary, or did the "Lieutenant General of the Iceberg" rush to Byam?
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but none of them could help the battle at this time, and the calmness that Skoll had relied on to become famous had long been forgotten, and he jerked out several slender scalpels from his pocket, flung them out like flying knives, and leaned back, shouting:
"Hold her back!"
The living corpses controlled by Maviti have long been burned to rotten flesh by the Holy Light, and the explosive "Mad Dog" has been shot in the head by the powerful Good Luck pistol, leaving only "Scarlet Thorn" Huntley and another Extraordinary Pirate still have the strength to fight.
They heard Scowl's shout, and one of them reached for the pocket under his cloak, grabbed a handful of reddish powder, and whispered in the Old Hermetian language:
"Blaze!"
The spell of the same name as the 3,000-pound pirate ignited the powder, turning them into a scorching wave of flame that swept forward.
Another pirate pulled out his twin daggers and flipped them in his hands like fingers, swooping forward along the flames, ready to deal a fatal blow with the spell of the "wizard".
"Bang-"
The flames exploded in an instant, revealing a bit of ice blue in the bright yellow firelight, and then rapidly expanded, and after a brief stalemate with the flames, more frost poured out, extinguishing the flames and sweeping the streets, and the twin dagger pirates were caught off guard, surrounded by ice, and immediately turned into immobile ice sculptures.
This...... Much stronger than the frost power of "Steel"!
"Scarlet Thorn" Huntley was also blown by the cold air current, shivering from the cold, he subconsciously took two steps back, his eyes quickly searched the fog caused by the collision of ice and fire, and his right hand pulled into another hidden bag.
"Flame ......"
As soon as Ancient Hemes blurted out, a long sword of white bones appeared in the fog and slashed through his right hand, which had thrown the orange powder, and without the slightest resistance, sliced through the skin, muscles, and joints, slicing it away from the elbow, and the powder and severed arm that had not had time to detonate flew into the sky.
“…… Exploding ......"
The second half of the spell was only then squeezed out of Huntley's throat, but the indestructible bone sword had already reached out from behind him, and the tip of the bloodstained sword was pointed at Skoll behind him.
Hmmm-
The long sword was withdrawn, and Huntley's corpse, which had no support, fell to the sky, and nearly black dirty blood gushed out, it was the blood of the plague that had been infected with a variety of diseases and lost its vitality, even without Angel's knife, this "wizard" of Sequence 7 would not have survived for three minutes.
She shook the blood from her sword and looked at the only pirate still standing, the "calm" Skoll.
The latter had already lost his composure, and had just taken out a black iron charm from his pocket, and was about to activate it with the spell, but the two companions in front of him, who were supposed to buy him time, had been killed and injured in a matter of seconds, and there was no way between them.
Fortunately, the ancient Hermetic language is concise and effective.
"Scream!"
He instantly recited the spell that activated the charm, and the charm in his hand immediately disintegrated and disappeared under the extraordinary power sealed inside, as a sacrifice to carry power.
A wave of sound spread around Scowl's hand, sweeping through the streets, burrowing into the ears of everyone still alive, in no particular order.
“&%#¥——”
Angel's brain was filled with an inaudible roar that seemed to shatter her eardrums, her brain buzzed, and a trace of blood flowed from her nose, and the pirate behind her who was frozen in place twitched in the hard ice, blood gushed out of her mouth, nose and eyes, and she was about to die in agony.
In the distance, Klein had used several bullets of "divine light" and purifying power to pry open the hard shell of "Steel" Maiviti, causing his skin to begin to melt like a candle in flames, the wound between his chest and abdomen seemed to be able to see the beating heart, the curly hair like steel balls had long been burned to the ground, and the bare head was hit by bullets, but it did not hurt the vital point.
As long as the head is still there, the "living corpse" will not really die!
With a roar of rage, Maiviti broke free from the shackles of reason, her teeth and nails began to grow wildly, and the wounds on her body showed signs of healing quickly.
New ice appeared beneath his feet, and the smell of decay gathered around him, and he was about to force his way to continue approaching Crane, tearing the coward alive who could only attack him with spells.
Buzz –
The "scream" behind him, which did not distinguish between the enemy and me, swept over him, and a familiar strange roar from the "Blood General" appeared in Maiviti's mind. He was overjoyed that Squall had used the homemade charm that Seigor had given him, which was the full force of Sequence 5 "Resentful Spirit", which was enough to make people who were not accustomed to this evil power fall into sluggishness and dizziness for nearly ten seconds, and those with weak physiques would be directly unconscious, or even die.
And he has long been accustomed to this in the battle against the "blood generals" in the five seas!
It only took three seconds for "Steel" Maiveti to shake off his negativity, swinging his muscle-swollen fists to smash the similarly affected fake Daniz into a ball of meatloaf.
But in front of him, there was no trace of the other party.
"What ......"
His gaze quickly swept around, and then he looked down, and the wound on his chest that had not yet healed had been stuffed into a glass bottle with several brass bullets tied to it, and inside it was the "Holy Water of the Sun" that shimmered with divine light.
He, faster than I am, got rid of the effects of "Scream"?
Mai Weiti grabbed the glass bottle with his palm, which was extremely powerful after expansion, but it was difficult to control finely, trying to take out the "bomb" buried in his body, but suddenly a crisp snapping of his fingers came from behind his ears.
Smack-
The gunpowder inside the bullet was ignited by "flame control", and a slight explosion sounded, and the holy water broke free from the shackles of the torn glass bottle and poured into the indestructible body of the "steel".
The hand he grabbed at his chest paused in the air, a ho-ho moan came out of his throat, and a gray-green gas came out of his mouth and floated into the air, which was the smoke produced by the incineration and purification of the organs and tissues in his body by the divine power.
Thump.
Maiveti fell to her knees, her cloudy eyes pulled by her stiff neck, and tried to look behind her, but this last effort quickly failed.
The second mate of the "Blood Admiral", who had a reward of up to 6,000 pounds, died on the streets of Byam in the early morning.
Klein didn't look at McVitty's final struggle, at the end of his sight, Angel, who was affected by "Scream", also quickly got rid of the negative state influence, holding the "Sword of Dawn", she has the high resistance of "Dawn Knight" to extraordinary abilities, such as "Wizard", the general abilities used by extraordinary people who are two sequences worse than her, have little effect on her, and the screams emitted by "resentful spirits" in the same sequence are also greatly reduced to her.
Skoll obviously didn't expect such a result, as soon as he threw out the spell, he stood still, raised his hands up, and then pressed down, the target was Angel who was affected by the "scream", but he didn't expect the other party to break free so quickly, so he had to quickly close his hands and let an invisible force press on the other party.
Angel immediately felt a huge pressure on her body, which slowed her movements and her body sank.
This power does not seem to come from Skaul himself, but rather a "gift" from some high-ranking being, making it immune to the resistance of the "Dawn Knight".
"Smack-"
The force finally took shape, squeezing Angel, who was struggling forward with the bone sword in hand, into pieces of translucent mirror shards scattered on the already frozen ground.
In another position, the air fluctuated like water ripples, and the real Angel appeared from it, her right hand stretched forward and dragged back, and several invisible silk threads bound Skoll, who had turned her body and was about to escape, and pulled him to this side, and her left hand held the long sword, facing the other party.
Poof-
The sharp "Sword of Dawn" entered from Scowl's lower back, stretched out in front of his neck, penetrating all organs and tissues along the way, facing the morning light, and snuffing out the last trace of life of this "winged angel".
As if the knife was sheathed with a sharp grinding sound, the long sword turned back into a "knight's bracelet" and returned to Angel's left wrist, and Skoll's body fell to the ground heavily, announcing the end of this "hunt".
Angel let out a sigh of exhaustion, a soul-to-soul exhaustion from the depths of her body, the negative effects of the magical items began to show, she looked back, and the battle was over on the other side, the corpse of "Steel" Maveti was still emitting wisps of green smoke, and Crane came to the side of the pirate who was frozen in ice and had been badly injured in the "scream" and was about to die, and poked out his left palm.
The "wriggling hunger", which had been starving all along, but did not dare to move in the seal, happily stretched and grew larger, and a crack opened in its palm, and two rows of illusory fangs grew out of it, opening like a bloody mouth, and began to tear at the pirate's flesh and spirit.
As it violently ate, it only took two or three seconds for the pirate's body and his sinful soul to turn into a pale red stream of air, swallowed inside by a giant mouth.
The satisfied magical object glove closed its mouth and quietly returned to its normal appearance as her right hand, as if the food she had eaten a few seconds ago was just Angel's hallucination.
This was the first time she had seen this magical artifact with the ability to devour a living person.
Fortunately, Mr. Azik sealed it, otherwise he would have devoured a living person every other day, and sooner or later he would have to "use" ordinary people......
She thought with relief.
Suddenly, a flame in the distance pierced the dawn sky and flew upward, blasting a brilliant fireball high in the air.
"Daniz's warning should be that the 'substitutes' are coming."
Crane picked up the Azk Bronze Whistle from the pile of dead corpses, helped the cap that had been crooked to the side during the battle, came to her side, and said.
Sure enough, within a few seconds, a wriggling and deformed shadow that was different from the ordinary shadow clung to the ground, quickly swam from the corner of the street, arched in front of the two of them, and turned into a real Daniz in a cloak.
"A whole squad of substitutes, coming in a carriage, will arrive in a minute at most...... Shit, they're all killed? ”
Daniz was halfway through his words when he was interrupted by his own surprise, and his gaze swept over the "Scarlet Thorn" Huntley, whose right hand had disappeared with a sword piercing his heart, Skoll, who died like a real "winged angel", Dari, the "mad dog" with a head like a broken watermelon, and "Steel" Mavity, whose body had almost melted in the holy light.
The pile of smoking, burned, charred corpses reminded him of the "adventure" of that night in Bansey Harbor.
Swallowing his saliva, he continued to ask:
"What now?"
Klein looked at the police carriage looming in the distance of the street and quickly made a decision:
"You pick the most expensive one to carry over, and I'll take the 'steel' and go to the evacuation site as planned."
Most expensive ......
Daniz felt a sense of absurdity in his heart, as if these pirates, who were all tricky to deal with, had price tags on their bodies waiting for him to choose.
But the dangerous hunger that the "wriggling hunger" had devoured the living just now was still wafting through the streets, so Daniz quickly found his position, nodded in response, and lifted the body of Huntley, which had a bounty of 3,800 pounds, and moved him to McVitty's side.
Klein took out the paper figure and shook it in his hand to light a fire, and at the same time picked up the peacock blue carpet and wrapped the body of "Steel" McViti, holding it in his hand, and stepping on Huntley with his foot.
"Cloak of Shadows."
He looked at Daniz and whispered.
The latter subconsciously obeyed the order, took off the cloak on his body and handed it over, watching Angel take it, tying the cloak to Klein, and gently holding his arm.
"Wait, wait, where's my place?"
Looking at the fleeing team, which seemed to be full, Daniz had an expression of disbelief on his face.
A smile tugged at the corner of Klein's mouth:
"I did the anti-divination for you."
The bodies of the two corpses quickly blurred, burrowing into the ground and turning into shadows.
The shadow, much bigger than it had been when it came, squirmed, quickly burrowing into the alley, blending in with its surroundings and losing its tracks.
Shit! That's my cloak!
Daniz cursed, looked around, quickly found an alley to get into, and ran wildly.
A moment later, a horse-drawn carriage came at a rapid pace, and before it could stop steadily, four figures jumped out of the carriage, wearing uniform thick trench coats, or holding guns, or holding the "storm" charm, looking at the chaotic street, and for a moment did not know where to start.
