The midnight alleys smell musty, and neither the light of modernity nor the smell of human life can benefit the place, and the only infestations are a few wandering beasts in the ruins.

It's hard to believe that this ruin-like scene could appear in the dignified Ludes.

This is an old town to be developed, and the residents here have moved to a more lively city with a generous compensation for demolition and a relocation certificate, leaving the streets like ghost towns for V.E to demolish and expand.

During the day, it is a noisy and chaotic construction site, and at midnight, when both moons are obscured by clouds, it is particularly desolate.

(It's really quiet...... ）

Jumping silently among the ruins, the girl muttered to herself.

It was so quiet that I couldn't hear anything at all, except for the regular sound of the carriage jolting forward in front of me, and I couldn't even feel the breath of life.

This is not normal.

As far as the girl knows, even among the ruins of the redevelopment area, you can occasionally see homeless people scavenging and wild cats and dogs rummaging through garbage heaps. But here it is as if rejecting a living thing, only the silence of death lingers.

(It's like ......!!)

I almost spit out the word, but finally suppressed the uneasiness in my heart, my fingers clasped the grip of the keyblade, I felt the cold texture of the metal, and my heart settled down again, and the pace of tracking slowed down slightly.

This time, the tracking target is extremely tricky, not only because of its seclusion and mysterious whereabouts. What's even more frightening is that as long as a flaw is revealed in the process, it will be discovered. Even if you bring a whole team of "redeemers" to help. The girl didn't feel like she had a chance to get out of it.

The witch who could easily push back Lancelot, the genius knight of Albion, could not be overestimated. Once discovered, not to mention whether you can fight or not, it is unknown whether you can escape along the way.

"Although I don't plan to clash with Salome head-on, at this time when the situation is delicate, I can't let such a powerful combat force go its own way, at least we must master every move of the strongest trump card of V.E Company. ”

The Pope said this to the maiden, without pity or shame, and as a matter of course, and the maiden had no doubt about it. Among the personnel of the Holy See in Lüdes. Only she can do that. Even if it's not. Once the order is given, as a "devout hound", she must also complete the task without discount.

Breathing in the colder and colder air, the light and quiet footsteps came to an abrupt end. Hidden behind a brick wall. Clear pupils peeked through the cracks in the bricks at the carriage parked in the ruins.

I saw the door of the blue-gray carriage wide open. The witch in a purple low-cut dress got out of the car with extremely leisurely steps, and spread her arms around the tattered ruins.

"There is always an unexpected harvest in the evening walks, wild flowers among the ruins, stray animals, scavenging humans, murderers hunting prostitutes, abandoned corpses after being dismantled - the same path every day. You can discover new landscapes. And then, now—"

Step onto the top of the ruined dirt slope and bask in the moonlight, lips so bright that they seem to drip blood curl at a terrifying angle.

"It's a new experience, isn't it?"

The girl hiding behind the wall had already been prepared, and when she was exposed by the other party, her expression was not moved at all. Silently stretched out the blade, and the Mana circuit also quickly unfolded.

Since there is no way to avoid it, there is only one way to fight your way.

"Hey~ quite backbone, worthy of being a 'pious hound', trained quite well. ”

With a sigh of admiration in the form of a tool, the extended magic hair curled around the six key blades that shot from different directions, and the hair strands that vibrated at high speed tightened, and the metal and the explosive spell attached to it were torn into useless pieces in the blink of an eye, and fell to the ground with a crisp and pleasant sound. At the same time, a thick fog filled the alley, and visibility dropped rapidly, and in less than a minute, it was difficult to tell where he was.

Throw a key blade to attract the enemy's attention, and at the same time unleash the meteorological interference technique "Fog Capital" to interfere with the line of sight, plus several trap spells and your own force along the way here. It is speculated that at least one company of troops is needed to effectively pursue and contain them.

"In terms of individual human combat effectiveness and combat experience, it is already at the upper middle level. It's the same as in the report. ”

Through guò heat sensing, radar, and vibration positioning, the girl's movement trajectory was depicted in her brain, and Salome muttered expressionlessly. The filaments of the severed blades twisted and swung in the thick fog, and the silver flash centered on the witch standing on the pile of ruins, unleashing countless slashes in the air.

Boom!!

The angry roaring tornado swelled in one breath, and the blades of the shockwave slashed in all directions. It didn't even blink an eye, and the dense fog was blown without a trace, as if there had never been a zài. Only the howling wind, the roar of the trap spell, and the dust splashed one after another from the debris of the building were the traces of the forces outside of common sense, and the slender murder weapon had long since retracted to its original size. With a flick of her long silky hair, Salome disappeared from the top of the ruins.

"Quite capable. ”

Standing on the smooth section of the stone pillar, Salome said to the girl who was lying on the ground.

The moment the magic moves at supersonic speed, it fires the Shockwave Blade in all directions, opening the wall to weaken the shockwave, while changing its stance to pass through the jungle of the Atmospheric Blade in a minimal area. If it weren't for the bad luck of being crushed by the stone pillar, this would have been a perfect dodge.

With a shrug of her shoulders, the girl lifted her face, and the blood beads on her forehead fell to the ground along her cheeks.

Looking down at the injured and unmoved, expressionless face, Salome leaned down and grabbed the girl's chin, forcing the other to look up at her.

The moment their eyes met, their breathing was disturbed, and their expressionless face cracked, and an instinct called "fear" seeped out of the crack.

Staring at himself was a pair of bright red eyes.

There are no emotional fluctuations, no heat felt, and it doesn't even look like a living body part. Under the clear moonlit night, it looks like a shining jewel.

“......！！”

Without warning, the sound of bones shattering and sharp pain from all over the body distorted his expression, and a slightly open mouth let out an unspeakable cry.

"Ah, I'm sorry, because I can't help but see you pretend to be so serious about breaking your legs. Use Nightmare to help you break all the bones in your limbs to make the show even more exciting." ”

"Dream ...... Nightmare?"

"So you can talk? That's a great help. Well, the so-called 'nightmare'...... It's a secret. ”

He smiled and snapped his fingers, and with the sound of "pop", the surrounding rubble shook for a while, and several alien figures were exposed to the moonlight.

It has eight crustaceans, and the six legs that support the body are covered with a black glossy carapace at the end, which swells further down. The bright red skin is reminiscent of a skinned rabbit, the head is covered with green compound eyes and looks this way, the large mouth that grows on the belly spews a fishy white mist, and the five spiky tongues twitch back and forth in the air.

- You can't have anything to do with this monster.

The girl who was instinctively screaming like this, experienced countless battles on the verge of life and death, and was extremely sensitive to the breath of death, felt her heart twitch.

"That's the latest biological weapon to be developed, the β-type Chimera. Originally, it was planned to find a small team of soldiers to test the actual combat performance. However, there is always some concern about whether it will be able to truly test its combat effectiveness. Thankfully, the powerful test subject was delivered to the door on its own. ”

"You ......"

"Originally, I also planned to add a few tentacles to implant the instinct of violating females, but unfortunately there was not enough time, only these shoddy prototypes could be used. Oops, I can only grieve you. Ten minutes later, your healing spell will almost get you back on your feet, right? Just try to survive and see. ”

The witch let go of her hand, and walked away without looking at the girl who fell to the ground, just like abandoning a broken doll. (To be continued......)

PS: I'm sorry, I overslept, there are two more watches at night, and those who have tickets, support it!
