Killing America Terror Starts at a Fatal Turn

Thousands of meters in the air.

Luke looked at the long-handled ax in his hand, and felt that something was missing. Under the control of his mental power, the silver, white and dark red ax surface spread out like running water. After condensing again, except for the original moon-shaped front ax mouth, There is another dark red fang-shaped curved thorn on the back of the ax, and a bright silver spike like the head of a spear is also condensed on the top of the ax.

That's right.

The face of the ax can split people open, the spikes on the back of the ax can punch holes in the head, and the spikes on the top of the ax can be used for skewering.

At this time, both the sharp blade and the surrounding spikes of the long-handled ax exuded a dangerous smell, and any part of it could easily overwhelm the enemy physically.

As the handle of the axe, the [Mourning Crow] also has the function of reducing psychic energy (mental power) consumption and increasing the power of spells. Luke feels that he can maintain this long-handled ax form all day long.

man! What you need is durability!

Luke swung the long ax in his hand a few more times, and it felt very smooth.

With a flash of inspiration in his mind, a fireball the size of an apple followed the strike mark of the ax blade, was born from the void, flew into the air not far ahead and exploded violently.

It is the "Secondary Fireball Spell" that has been constructed with a spell model that can be released instantly.

The combination of the two systems of shaman and mage makes Luke's fighting style more diverse.

While he was experimenting, Harpier suddenly began to lower his altitude. It turned out that he had already reached home.

Luke, who was still unfinished, put away his psychic power, and the dangerous long-handled ax disappeared instantly, leaving only a long wooden staff in his hand.

A crow breaks away from the formation, speeds up and swoops down, and soon enters Luke's room through the window.

Luke activated [Transformation] and returned to his bed from high altitude in the blink of an eye. The crow returned to the queue. Under the coordination of Halpier, he and his companions landed near Luke's house. Warnings began on branches, street lamps, roofs and other places.

The next few days were spent practicing fireball, meditating and other daily tasks. The [Eye of Inspiration] given by Jiroba was indeed very useful. He felt that the efficiency of meditation had been significantly improved, and he could increase his meditation efficiency by about three times in two days. A little bit spiritual.

A few days passed, and some of the potential of mental power was once again tapped. The mental power value reached 208, and there were still 72 spiritual energy points left before the current bottleneck.

According to the current progress, the limit value will be reached in less than two months.

However, after reaching the limit, it will take a long time to cultivate the soul with mental power and increase its strength.

According to Luke's upgrade speed, I'm afraid he won't be able to wait for independent improvement, and he will have several more free attribute points.

That thing doesn't give birth to babies, so it can't be kept forever.

Increase and strengthen early, and then go for stronger monsters to upgrade to a higher level.

This is how we cheaters play.

After a few dull days, Luke finally thought of his loyal best friend Leonard again.

He called Dast's home. Dast finally finished his mission and was resting at home.

Speaking of which, although Luke and he have known each other for a while and have formed a close friendship, they have never been to his house, and besides, he wanted to see Leonard's cultivation progress.

Therefore, after hearing Dust's invitation, Luke readily agreed. After asking for the address, he packed up his belongings, climbed onto Halpie, and set off with his little brothers in darkness.

The Dust family is an independent small manor outside the eastern city of Phoenix.

Luke flew for less than ten minutes when he saw the conspicuous building.

Looking from a high altitude, the manor is surrounded by dense woods. The main building is the center of the entire manor. It is a three-story white building with a unique architectural style. The white walls and gray roof complement each other and are full of rich European style. There is a huge bell tower in the center of the main building, decorated with gorgeous clocks, which looks solemn and solemn.

The spacious lawn is covered with green turf. There are also some independent buildings in the manor, a few small buildings with no apparent function, an old stable and a small greenhouse. These buildings also exude a long history, but are very neatly maintained, with no trace of dilapidation or decay.

For the sake of courtesy, Luke landed not far from the gate of the manor, took off the staff, and let Harpie fly away slightly, leaving only a crow standing on his shoulder.

The manor's concierge had long observed the traces of Luke's landing. Perhaps he was well-informed and was not surprised by the huge flying mount. In addition, Dust must have greeted him in advance. The concierge greeted him warmly and He led him into the manor.

Entering the gate, a stone road leads from the door to the interior of the manor. Walking along the stone road, you will soon arrive at the main entrance of the main building.

Dust is already waiting here in advance.

Seeing Luke, he waved his hand and asked the concierge to go back while he took Luke in.

Luke was slightly shocked by the luxurious manor of the Sigel family, and sighed: "Brother, I didn't realize how wealthy you are when we usually get along. Today I have gained some experience."

Dast said modestly: "These are run-down houses from hundreds of years ago. They look glamorous on the surface, but in fact the family cannot make ends meet."

While talking, Luke was already taken to a small reception room.

A man who looked like a butler came over to serve tea, then carefully exited the room and closed the door gently without making any unnecessary noise.

Dast lay down on the back of the sofa, took a long breath comfortably, and said: "A few days ago, a giant crocodile cannibal case occurred in Shuimo Town. Three policemen and seven or eight civilians died. The team asked Yaska and I went over to deal with it. The crocodile was not difficult to deal with, but it was too troublesome to find. We spent three days at the water's edge and finally used a cow to attract it."

Luke asked with interest: "What's so special about the crocodile?"

"Does it count as being particularly resistant to being beaten?" Dast said: "I used the Glow Binding Array to control it, and then used three AT-4 rounds, plus seven or eight grenades, and the explosion , it blew up my magic circle and almost caused it to escape back into the water."

"Then what?" Luke asked.

"Then I used the touch of frost to freeze a small part of the water on the shore. Yaska controlled the flames to penetrate through the wound in its abdomen and roasted it completely. That was the end."

After Dast finished talking about the recent cases he encountered, he started to ask Luke: "What about you? Has the matter of the Seven Deadly Sins been solved?"

Luke thought for a while. People infected by the seven deadly sins should have died many times, but he didn't know if the mastermind behind the scenes would create another batch.

However, it seems that not just any cat or dog can be qualified as the host of the Seven Deadly Sins, and it is unlikely that a new lineup will be formed.

After a moment of silence, he said: "Everything should be solved, but it seems there are still people hiding behind the scenes."

Seeing his worried look, Dast smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as Captain Albert is here, there won't be any trouble in Phoenix City."

"Albert?" Luke had never heard that name mentioned before.

Dast said: "The captain of the Special Affairs Team, the ultimate person in charge of all extraordinary cases in Phoenix City, no one has seen him use his full strength for a long time, but there have been rumors in the team that he has broken through the boundaries of the hero level and reached Reached a higher level of exemplary status.”

"Hero? Model? Brother, what are these?" Luke asked curiously: "You never mentioned it to me before."

Dast was stunned for a moment and asked suspiciously: "Didn't I mention it?"

"No!" Luke said firmly.

Dast picked up the tea cup and took a sip of water, covering up his embarrassment and said, "Maybe I forgot?"

He cleared his throat and continued: "It doesn't matter much. It has no impact on combat and practice anyway. Since I forgot to mention it before, it's too late to make up for it now."

"This is actually a conventional name for the level of practice of extraordinary people. It is not particularly accurate. Generally speaking, the levels of extraordinary people are generally apprentice-brave-hero-paragon-legend-demigod . This level division has been handed down from ancient times and has been used to this day."

He took a breath and introduced in detail: "The apprentice level is the newcomer who has just come into contact with the extraordinary world. Until one of their abilities exceeds the limit of ordinary humans, they are collectively called the apprentice level."

"For example, if the soul strength exceeds ten points and reaches an extraordinary soul; or if the physical exercise exceeds the limit of the human body and reaches extraordinary agility and extraordinary strength, it can be called a brave level."

Dast pointed at himself, "I am now a brave-level spell user. This is the inheritance of our family."

"After the brave level, there is the hero level. It requires a certain extraordinary ability to reach 20 points. After reaching this level, like the heroes in ancient legends, they can fight giant monsters and one person can withstand thousands of armies."

"After the hero level is the paragon, sometimes also called the master. I don't know much about the paragon level. In short, it is very strong. The legends and demigods after that are even less clear. I have only heard of them. A demigod possesses the legendary power that is almost the same as that of a god.”

After introducing this information, Dast emphasized: "Although levels are distinguished, an individual's combat effectiveness is not entirely determined by level. A trainee holding a firearm may also kill a brave person; a hero who is proficient in hand-to-hand combat, It is also possible to kill legal paragons after getting close, and at the same time, the rare objects held by individuals also have a great impact on combat effectiveness."

After finishing a long list of words, Dast lay down on the sofa and said lazily: "There is no missing information now."

Luke asked curiously: "What's the occupation of our Captain Albert?"

"He, he is a warrior, a reckless man who can only temper his body." Dast thought of the monsters that were smashed to pieces by his punches, and added: "But he is also a terrible reckless man."

Having said this, Luke continued to ask a question in his mind before: "Since your family can be passed down and become an exorcist family. Then, what about the people in the church? Why have there been no traces of them? .”

Dast chose his words and said: "I don't know much about this matter. In the first two years of the recovery of super powers, the church was very active and had a strong tendency to re-establish the kingdom of God on earth. But it seems that in one year Before that, their power began to gradually shrink. Until about the end of last year, the Holy See issued an order to summon most of the priests with extraordinary power back to the Vatican. The remaining power of churches in various places could only rely on the power of the church's holy land. I can barely protect myself, and I no longer have the strength to go out and exorcise demons.”

Luke asked: "Did something happen in the Vatican?"

Dast replied: "I want to know too, even the President wants to know. It's a pity that the entire outside of the Vatican is surrounded by a layer of strong sacred power. No one can detect the situation inside. The outside world is just guessing. What's wrong? things happen."

"However, it has been happening for more than half a year, and the situation has not changed at all. Everyone is used to it."

Well, although Dust is well-connected and well-informed, secrets of this level are obviously not something he can pry into. Besides, even if he knew, with the current relationship between the two, he would not be able to tell him directly. Luke.

Luke thought to himself, major events that can affect the entire church are not issues that a professional-level weakling like me should consider. The sky is falling and there are demigods and legends blocking it. I earn 3,000 yuan a month and think about the Russian-Ukrainian war every day. Use it.

He changed the topic back to reality and wanted to ask about Leonard's study progress.

Before he could say anything, there were three knocks on the door. The housekeeper opened the door and Leonard walked in.

"Hey! Brother." Leonard was very excited to see Luke. "The teacher you introduced to me is really good. I have completed the visualization and started making spells independently."

"Visualization" is a practice method similar to the wizard's "meditation". The difference is that meditation is to explore deep inner images without fixed pattern objects, while "visualization" is through the visualization of fixed gods or objects. Visualize and gain specific powers.

The "contemplation method" of the Dust family is to gain the power to make magical spells by visualizing the god of craftsmen.

Leonard took out a round white leather charm from his trouser pocket and placed it between his eyebrows. Four or five seconds later, the charm suddenly began to glow softly.

"Fluorescent spell! How about it!" He looked at Luke like a primary school student who had scored 100% in the test and presented a treasure to his parents: "The teacher said that I learned the spell very quickly, and I grasped the key aspects of the spell very vividly."

Luke was really a little surprised. After all, he had the impression that Leonard was a Muggle with mediocre talent. Even though Dust had commented on "active thinking and out-of-the-box ideas" last time, it still couldn't get Luke out of his mind. His impression was that he didn't expect him to start making spells so quickly.

He asked: "Have you tested the soul strength? How much is it?"

Leonard smiled naively: "The soul strength is only 5 points, which is an ordinary level, but the visualization method is progressing very quickly, and the mental power is almost 80 points."

Oh, he is still a little genius.

After chatting for a few more words about the daily routine of studying, Leonard swore to his chest and told Luke that after he completed his studies, he would take care of his extraordinary spell needs. He hurriedly left and went to start his daily training in visualization methods.

Diligent people will always be favored by God, just like an author who can write part-time and still make it every day, there will definitely be lovely readers who subscribe.

Luke suddenly had some expectations for Leonard's future. He was not a dragon-loving Ye Gong, nor was he frightened by the bloody reality of the extraordinary world. Nor was he indulged in the fantasy of being omnipotent with extraordinary abilities. Instead, he was down-to-earth and step-by-step. Visualize step by step and improve your abilities through learning and exercise.

Although he was not born with a powerful soul like being born extraordinary, with his enthusiasm and hard work, he might not be able to go further and gain his own place in this newly revived extraordinary world.

Watching Leonard leave, Luke thought about his lack of experience points and asked: "Is there any information about monsters in the extraordinary realm recently? I can help solve it."

Daxter looked at Luke with wide eyes, as if he was in disbelief when he saw a scab who worked overtime voluntarily and even paid the company's electricity bill to work overtime.

Seeing the incredible look in his eyes, Luke said, "I've been a little busy lately, and unlike you, I have to pay some money to use spells to fight and complete an official mission."

It’s not like you just sit there when you’re free. What’s the point of actively asking to work overtime? Besides, you’re not even doing the work. Why is a temporary worker so active?

Of course, Dast did not express the above psychological activities. He just emphasized harshly: "In fact, I also make money doing tasks. For example, the skin of the giant crocodile last time is a very good armor material. I can peel it off and sell it." It can bring in a lot of income. And if you take the body back, the officials will get additional subsidies."

"Subsidy?" Luke asked with confusion.

"Yeah, I...didn't mention it?"

"Of course you didn't!" Luke responded loudly and decisively.

Ah this

Dast smiled coquettishly and said: "Although the Lighthouse Country is basically in a state of autonomy, it still has some unified policies. For example, the corpses of killed monsters can be sent to places with Eniak ports. , it will conduct certification and then provide certain subsidies based on the strength of the monster. This is also a general measure to encourage extraordinary people to actively kill extraordinary monsters."

Damn you!

You didn’t tell me earlier!

How much joy of swordsmanship I have lost!

Looking at Luke's unkind eyes, Dust defended: "I planned to tell you once, but something interrupted me and I forgot about it."

The image of Daxter as a reliable big brother quietly collapsed in Luke's heart, and was directly transformed into an unreliable and innocent middle-aged virgin.

Sure enough, the forest is so big that there are all kinds of birds.

But considering that this old man’s family is also a traditional Catholic family and there is no pre-marital sex, I can only say that it is normal.

In this place called Lighthouse Country, the open-minded people are really open-minded, and there are endless parties.

Conservative people are really conservative, and chastity is still a traditional concept in some old-school families.

Luke originally wanted to blackmail some more treasures out, but thinking about how Dust handed him a life-saving charm without hesitation after beating the Human Centipede last time, he sighed inwardly and stopped pursuing it.

Dast also quickly changed the topic and followed Luke's initial question and said: "There are indeed two extraordinary monster missions in the brigade. One is in a relatively remote location and the other seems to be hidden. The current harm is not very great. Plus We are short of manpower, so we have put it on hold for now. If you are interested, I will call and take over the task. In addition to the subsidy, you can also receive a reward from our team's own task, which will be given to you when the time comes."

Luke took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey and asked, "What kind of monsters are there?"

Dast thought for a while and said: "It seems to be a fly monster hiding. I mean, according to the description of the witnesses, he looks like a big fly in the shape of a human, with bulging pustules and disgusting flesh all over his body. But it He was not very aggressive and chose to run away directly after encountering witnesses."

"The more remote one is in a mining town northwest of Phoenix. There is information that some giant spiders have appeared there and killed two residents. However, according to the local police, they are ordinary mutant species, and they use guns. We can handle it, so the team has not sent any support for the time being.”

Fly Man and Spider Monster.

Luke's brain began to think. I don't know if the fly man will be restrained when the two meet. After all, it is natural for spiders to eat flies.

He thought about it for a while. If a thing like the Fly Man was hidden in the sewer or garbage dump, no matter whether the crows could find it or not, it would be really disgusting. The same goes for fighting, the other party can't hurt you, and it won't hurt even if you are covered in mucus.

And according to Dast's intelligence, it is not aggressive at all. It may be a monster that has been mutated from humans and still retains human sanity. Such a monster should be regarded as a mutant. Before it is discovered that it attacks humans, go directly to it. Killing was a bit rash.

On the other hand, the giant spider is a pure beast, without reason or human thinking, and has a history of hurting people. The most important thing is that if they live in groups and in large numbers, they should be able to gain a lot of experience points.

It would be unreasonable not to do something about it.

After making up his mind, Luke said to Dust: "Choose the big spider. I have dealt with a vampire spider before, so I have experience in killing this one."

Dast readily agreed and directly dialed the brigade's phone number to take over the task.

Luke visited Leonard during this trip and gained new knowledge about the extraordinary world. He also got a new jungle position. He killed three birds with one stone and exceeded his goal.

He found a map and asked Daxter to show the specific location of the mining town with the big spider, and then said goodbye.

Just as he was about to walk out the door, Dast grabbed him again and asked, "When will we set off? Where will we meet?"

Luke was confused and said, "Are you going too?"

It's like a college student who wants to study in the library, but his roommate says he'll wait for me to come with him.

The final exam hasn’t happened yet.

Dast said: "After all, it's a task I took on. I don't trust you to do it alone."

Luke thought to himself, you can pull him over. I will go alone. I have displacement and a flying mount. I can advance, attack, retreat or defend.

I'll take you with me. If I'm in danger, I might be embarrassed to [disapparate] myself and run away, and I'll have to worry about being robbed by monsters. You'd better just stay home for the holidays.

He refused Dast's request to go with him. Seeing that Dast's attitude was very firm, Dast no longer insisted. He took out a golden talisman from the treasure bag and stuffed it into Luke's hand.

"'Gabbiadini Shield', you have seen its effect. Although it is unlikely to be used, it is still just in case. Combined with the 'Life Amulet' I gave you last time, it is foolproof." After that, he added Emphasis: "These two charms are still valid for three months. They only have one chance to be triggered. They are equivalent to disposable items. Don't use them indiscriminately except in times of crisis. They are very expensive."

Luke nodded, his brother was so reliable and kind when giving gifts.

He put away the charm, waved goodbye, walked out of the manor, got on Harpie and left.

Wow, it’s so hard on the 6th day. I can stick to the 6th day and it’s so hot!
