The short sword in his hand pierced Arthur's chest.

Urto, however, had no joy.

It's not the right touch!

The touch of the blade through flesh is not like this.

And, the next moment, Arthur was gone.

In front of Ulto, only the wall was pierced by the short sword.

Phantom!

In an instant, Ulto, who was not a rookie on the mysterious side, understood something, but before he could react, Arthur, who was hiding in the shadows, had already pulled the trigger of the thunderbolt.

Bang!

In the flash of the muzzle fire, seven projectiles pierced Ulto's body, but no blood spilled, and the seven projectiles penetrated Ulto's body, just as Ulto's short sword had just pierced Arthur's body, causing no damage.

The difference is that Arthur uses the Phantom Scroll, which is stored in the Chest of Atos, which can create a perfect humanoid apparition, but does not have any attack power, and will disappear after taking an attack.

Urto, on the other hand, is not a phantom.

Ulto had fogged himself.

The gatekeeper of the 'Rat Council' laughed when he saw the surprise in Arthur's eyes.

"How?"

"Surprised?"

"Welcome to the mystery side, rookie!"

As soon as the words fell, Urto disappeared in place.

[Death Intuition] flickered violently, Arthur didn't think about it, and left the place with a roll.

And at the moment when Arthur left, the fog rolled, and Ulto's short sword swept directly, if Arthur hadn't left here, Arthur had already wiped his neck at this time.

"Good hiding!"

"Come, go on!"

Urto said these words and disappeared again in place.

[Death Intuition] flickered again, and Arthur immediately dodged again.

However, this time it was a little slower, and the shoulder of the jacket was cut a cut, although it did not hurt the flesh, but Arthur could already feel the coldness of the blade.

If you slow it a little, he'll be splattered with blood on the spot.

Looking at the solemnity on Arthur's face, Urto laughed even louder.

"Show!"

"Why don't you put on a show!"

"Didn't you play well last time?"

The fog enveloped Ulto and attacked again, and the gatekeeper of the 'Rat Council' rushed towards Arthur again, but faint footsteps rang in his ears as they walked from the room to the outer hallway.

Phantom!

Standing still in front of me is the phantom!

The footsteps are the ones who leave!

Ulto, who had made a judgment in his heart, turned around and rushed to the place where the footsteps sounded.

But......

Pounced on a blank shot!

There's nothing there!

As soon as he turned around, he saw Arthur standing still motionless, with a smile on his face.

"How?"

"Surprised?"

"Isn't that what the Mystic Side is like, Old Bird?"

Arthur's sarcastic words did not make Ulto lose his mind, but on the contrary, the goalkeeper took a few quick steps back - for the other party heard the sound of the fuse igniting.

Arthur, who was discovered, simply took the ignited explosives out of his back, and he raised his hand to snuff out the fuse.

"Heh, do you really think I'm stupid?

The same move won't work for me......"

"Purify!"

Arthur's spilled sulfuric acid interrupted Urto's words.

The sulfuric acid slid through Ulto's atomized body and landed on the ground, snorting.

"It's useless!"

"I am invincible in the 'mist'!"

Ulto proclaimed loudly, and rushed at Arthur again.

However, the flickering of [Eyes Like a Torch] and [Observing Words and Looks] made Arthur conclude that the sulfuric acid had worked, and although it didn't work completely, the other party had momentary pain.

Moreover, the other party is very anxious at the moment.

This state of affairs cannot last! ’

Arthur, who had the answer in his heart, set the dynamite on fire again.

Since the other party can't last, then he will drag out time!

Immediately, Urto, who rushed to the scene, became hesitant.

Looking at Arthur, who was holding explosives, the gatekeeper knew that one of the flaws in his [Ring of Mist] had been discovered, but the other party had no worries.

"Just stay here and listen to the wails of your companions before they die!"

The gatekeeper grinned and rushed in the direction of the door.

But soon, it came back again.

To be precise, it was 'fanned' back.

A [Void Hand] picked up a thin piece of wood and used it as a fan, 'fanning' the gatekeeper back.

"Now you have the properties of the mist, and you're immune to most of the effects, but again, you've inherited the shortcomings of the mist—

When the wind rises, the fog dissipates! ”

In Arthur's indifferent words, the [Hand of Nothingness] fanned the wind hard.

Urto was blown to an unstable footing.

The gatekeeper of the 'Rat Council' didn't expect another flaw in his [Ring of Mist] to be discovered so quickly.

Utor tried his best to control his body, but to no avail.

Because, not only the [Hand of Nothingness] fanned the wind, Arthur himself also picked up the wooden plank left over from the ground after the explosion that could be used as a fan and fanned it.

Woo! Woo!

Again and again.

Urto was slapped so cold that his heart was cold.

In the end, the effect of the [Ring of Mist] had to be lifted early.

The fog dissipated.

Urto stood firmly on the ground with his feet steady, he stared at the 'spirit medium' in front of him with resentment, and said through gritted teeth: "Even without the [Ring of Mist], I can kill you with sword skills alone!" ”

Arthur didn't answer, and there were two more firearms in his hand.

Urto: ......

Bang, bang!

Sou!

The muzzle flickered, one of the two projectiles was dodged, and one hit Ulto, and the 'whoosh' sound was the arrow shot by the [Jackal Hand Crossbow] that originally belonged to the opponent - the [Hand of Nothingness] that had been hidden behind Arthur, and the [Hand of Nothingness], which was carrying the [Athos Box] for Arthur, quietly pulled the trigger of the crossbow with the help of Arthur's body.

The projectile hit Ulto's arm.

The arrow was on Ulto's thigh.

Looking at the familiar arrow, Urto's face changed dramatically.

It's his [Jackal Hand Crossbow]!

Poison on the arrows!

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Urto felt his whole body begin to go numb, and it became even more difficult to breathe.

But what made the gatekeeper really desperate was that Arthur had another [Jackal Hand Crossbow] in his hand, aimed at him, and immediately pulled the trigger.

Sou!

Burst!

[Kill 'Gatekeeper' Urto, XP+30]

……

Arthur breathed a sigh of relief at the hint of the text in front of him.

However, when he took off the Ring of Mist and groped for Ulto's pocket, Arthur still chose to let the Hand of Nothingness do the work.

Arthur, on the other hand, walked out of the room.

The battle is not over.

The fog just now gave the attackers the upper hand, causing the patrolmen to suffer heavy losses, and four of them died directly, even if the fog was actively dispersed, the remaining patrolmen still couldn't gain the upper hand in the face of these attackers.

But with Arthur on board, it's different.

He controls the Hand of Nothingness as these assailants wield their swords and pick at their pants.

In three or two blows, these attackers have no advantage to speak of.

"Devil!"

"You're the devil!"

The attacker cried out at Arthur.

But Arthur didn't care, not only did he not stop picking the pants of the attackers, but he also hammered the toes of these attackers with the [Void Hand].

"Keep your mouth alive!"

A panting Maltz shouted.

For an old man who is about to retire, shooting is fine, hand-to-hand combat is not, and if Dick hadn't been by Maltz's side, the sheriff would have been on the line.

But Maltz was not injured, but Dick was on the spot, not only with a few flesh wounds on his body, but also with a bloody mark on his face from his left eye to the corner of his right mouth.

But Diko didn't care, instead wielding his sword and fighting the attacker.

There is no rule to speak of, just rely on strength to smash hard.

The remaining two patrolmen also had the upper hand, and it was clear that the overall situation had been decided.

Maltz relaxed completely, and then looked at Arthur.

Then, the sheriff spotted Arthur staring straight out the window.

Subconsciously, the sheriff also looked over.

Immediately, dumbfounded.
