Shadow Apostle

The difference in combat experience is immediately apparent.

When they heard the movement and raised their heads, Monica and Bruno instinctively took two steps to the side.

He immediately left his original position.

But Julian and Bonnie didn't.

They just looked up and...

I just happened to see a few human-faced rats reaching the top of my head.

So, the dagger penetrated his chest.

Bonnie was lucky, she was only stabbed in the shoulder.

She didn't even have time to pay attention to the sharp blade on her shoulder. She tried her best to shake off the entangled mouse. She leaned over and held the music box at her feet tightly in her arms. She rolled continuously on the spot until she was behind Bruno and then stopped. She was still frightened. Holding the music box and never daring to let go.

But on the other side, the dagger had penetrated directly into Julian's right chest.

Up to the handle.

Julian only had time to let out a scream before he was knocked down by the human-faced rats that jumped down. Several human-faced rats around him immediately gave up their goals. There were five or six of them in total, each showing their fangs and claws. In an instant, it swallowed up Julian who fell.

Monica's sword has finally arrived.

The sword stabbed several times, all penetrating through the eye socket and straight into the brain.

But Julian's screams had quickly weakened.

His eyes were round and protruding, and blood flowed uncontrollably from his mouth and nose.

His throat rattled and his muscles continued to twitch, but the look in his eyes quickly dimmed.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak", the crazy human-faced mouse didn't care about the few of the same kind killed by Monica, and used huge power to drag Julian's body and quickly evacuate in the direction of the flames, leaving only the ones killed by Monica. The gas bottle and rifle had been chewed to pieces, and they were still lying alone on the ground.

"Characteristics, vine entanglement."

Seeing his companion's body being robbed, Bruno's eyes turned red. He didn't even care about his own protection. He called out to Monica, squatted down and slapped the body on the ground.

The masonry floor trembled slightly.

Dozens of tiny sprouts emerged from the soil between the bricks.

The buds grew faster and faster when they saw the wind, and several long strips of bluestone were easily pushed up by the buds.

The running rat bumped into a suddenly raised stone slab. After the collision, his head was bruised and bleeding, and he didn't care about Julian's body. He screamed and rushed into the flames with his bare hands, and soon disappeared. trace.

But just as Bruno was busy working, several human-faced rats jumped down from mid-air again.

But this time, as soon as he reached the halfway point, he encountered a stabbing sword.

Monica's sword.

Monica also clenched her teeth and her eyes were red, but she just raised her rapier with a glance.

"Characteristics, Judgment."

There was a glimmer of light on the stabbing sword.

"Crime one, belief in evil gods."

The light of the stabbing sword became more and more solid. Monica stepped forward with her long legs, stepped beside Bruno in one step, and faced several human-faced rats in the air with her sword.

After a few bangs, the human-faced mice were blessed by the aura around them, and even the stabbing sword could not break through their fur. However, under the heavy blows, several mice still somersaulted into the walls on both sides.

"Crime two, gathering a crowd to murder."

The light of the stabbing sword became brighter, and even the body began to glow slightly.

The human-faced mouse that flew out twisted its body in mid-air and landed on all fours on the wall. Then it kicked off the wall and rushed back along the same path.

What hit her was Monica's long legs and heavy police boots.

With a few bangs, the rat that would affect Bruno was kicked away. Monica withdrew the sword she had swung and stood it upright in front of her face again.

"Crime Three: Resisting Arrest and Assaulting the Police."

"Judgment, beheading."

This time, the light faded away.

But even the man and his sword exuded a chilling air.

Monica took one step forward and slashed horizontally with her sword, like a breeze blowing by.

Everyone along the way suddenly became stiff. After standing still for a moment, their bodies silently split into two sections and slowly slid down.

"coming."

Under the protection of Monica, Bruno's vines finally pushed up several stone slabs completely, and then piled them one after another behind the flames in the corner, completely blocking the road on the ground, leaving only a passage on the roof.

When he turned around and was about to say something to Monica, his expression suddenly changed.

Monica had just attacked at full capacity and was adjusting her breathing. She did not realize at all that her heartbeat and breathing not only did not speed up, but became slower and slower. Even the speed of thinking about problems was gradually slowing down.

Did I forget something?

It seems important.

Why is it a bit cold? Is the wind blowing?

"Monica, music."

music? What music?

By the way, music from the music box.

The frozen consciousness finally woke up, humming a simple and monotonous melody in his heart.

Then the speed of consciousness finally returned to normal, and Monica felt cold sweat breaking out all over her body.

"The top of the head."

Not caring about her fear anymore, Monica quickly jumped back and watched as several human-faced rats fell from the sky and landed in front of her.

However, it was not only the human-faced rats that fell, but also thick rocks.

When the three of them looked up, they saw a big hole in the stone slab above their heads.

Countless ditch rats as big as domestic cats surged out from the interlayer of the stone slabs like black waves one after another.

In front of them, more than twenty human-faced rats with distorted faces screamed and pounced down, followed by an endless tide of rats.

It seemed like it was going to devour the three Watchers.

"I have two more bottles here."

Bonnie finally woke up from her fear and took out two cowhide water bags and threw them to Monica.

Although she knew it was of little significance, she didn't care so much at this time. Monica poured a circle around the three of them, took out the lighter with the skull on it, and lit the whale oil on the ground.

A wall of fire surrounded the three of them, slightly stopping the gray wave-like swarm of rats.

But... how many seconds can it be stopped?

Monica doesn't know either.

I can only curse bitterly in my heart.

Damn Horst, hurry up.

"Boom."

On the upper level of the reservoir, the wooden staff of the leading priest suddenly paused, then he held the wooden staff with both hands and slowly drew a few runes on the ground.

When the last stroke was finished, the three priests began to dance around the runes, chanting strange notes. As they chanted, a ray of light suddenly shot out from the statue of Tsathogua and shone on several runes.

"ku-la-satogua, ka-ta..."

The illuminated runes suddenly expanded outward into a circle of light. The circle of light expanded larger and larger, quickly sweeping across the upper and lower areas.

You can see through the drain outlet that the human-faced rat below, which was already stiff and shambling, seemed to have been given a shot in the arm, and its strength and speed quickly returned to normal. Not long after, raging flames burst out from below. , the scolding of humans mixed with the screams of the human-faced mice floated up from the entrance of the cave.

"Damn, what is this? Erosion of will?"

"It's a human weapon, a human weapon." Another priest screamed.

"Foolishly, under the watchful eye of Tsathoggua, no one can corrupt Enkai's people, long live those who sleep in Enkai, long live Tathoggua."

"Long live Tsathoggua!" screamed the other two priests.

"Those disgusting humans must have leaked our whereabouts. It doesn't matter, they will pay the price. You continue to cast spells and let the children eat the intruders."

"Eat it, eat it."

The two priests screamed, one on the left and the other on the right, lying down next to each other, raising their wooden staffs, and kowtow to the statue in the air. Every time they raised their heads, they danced and recited long prayers.

"ku-ta-pa-ta-la"

In front of the two priests, the leading priest continued to draw strange and incomprehensible runes on the ground with his wooden stick while making strange syllables. His movements were slow, as if he was carrying a heavy burden.

The lines of the runes are outlined by mystery and are full of weirdness. Each one is twisted and ugly. Even if it remains on the ground, it is still twisting and turning, like a living insect.

But as each rune takes shape, the previous runes that strengthen the lower layer of the human-faced rat become brighter.

The power exuded is also more surging.

"Praise be to the great Tsathogya."

Waving the wooden stick to hit the brazier, the green flames in the brazier became more intense. The leading priest laughed loudly again in the firelight. The flames projected his back behind him, reflecting on the wall, full of distortion and weirdness.

The two priests kneeling in the back row were also laughing.

"Eat, the children will eat all the intruders."

"Kill all the intruders, Tsathoggua will come soon."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Really? I don't believe it."

"boom."

"puff."

Just when the three human-faced rat priests fell into extreme excitement, a smooth voice behind them, as if reciting lines, made the three human-faced rats' laughter stop abruptly.

At the same time as the voice of disbelief, there was the sound of gunshots.

45 caliber revolver, making a loud noise after the maximum power of the micro steam furnace was enhanced.

A pistol poked out from the shadows of the priests themselves, almost touching the head of the priest on the left and pulling the trigger directly.

Accompanied by the sharp scream of steam releasing pressure from the gun handle, three consecutive explosive bullets were sent into the back of the priest's head on the left side without any hindrance.

The brain exploded, like a big water melon that had been smashed.

While shooting three times in a row, Horst didn't care about his almost shattered wrist. He thrust out the rapier already held in his left hand with all his strength. He almost exhausted all his strength and stabbed the unprepared opponent fiercely. In the chest of a priest.

A sword pierces the heart.

In the flash of lightning, the two human-faced rats with level 1 strength were unprepared for this. They were shot in the head and pierced with almost no resistance. They fell down silently and could no longer let out the ear-piercing scream. .

The corners of Horst's lips curled up, and while drawing his sword, he turned his gaze to the leader, the second-level priest.

No.

There was no one at the original location.

Horst didn't even see when the other party left his original position.

And just when he realized this fact, there was a sudden sharp pain in his chest.

A rat paw penetrated from the left back and emerged from the left chest, holding Horst's beating heart in his hand.

"Die, die, die."
