Sherlock Holmes

In the distance, Moran was knocked to the ground again.

It is impossible for a human being to be an opponent of a third-level demon, not even a contractor of the same level. This is the natural gap between species.

So how long has Moran been under attack from this demon?

five minutes? Or ten minutes?

She doesn't know anymore

She couldn't see, the blood flowed into her eyes, and then solidified into blood scabs under the scorching fire. She couldn't hear either, the sound that exploded in her ears again and again had already caused her eardrums to lose. reaction.

She was in so much pain, as if a rib had been inserted into her lungs, fortunately avoiding the main blood vessels and heart; the muscles were torn, and the tendons had long since broken under the repeated attacks. The broken bones hung at her sides, and the bruises under her skin were not exposed under the combat uniform. Her hair was soaked with blood, and she probably couldn't even move a finger.

Then she stood up again, staggering so hard that a gust of wind could almost blow her down. However, she squeezed out a trace of strength from nowhere and rushed towards the giant creature in front of her.

She seemed to have forgotten that she was supposed to be dead, but she just had a paranoid feeling that as long as she delayed a little longer, maybe the rescue team would be able to arrive, maybe her master would be safe, and maybe... maybe the master's friend would be able to Kill the mastermind of this demon.

Well, of course it is impossible for a novice contractor to kill a third-level strong man.

But the man named Sherlock is very powerful. He might be able to hurt the other person, or even affect his control of the devil and destroy the other person's perception!

That person has already brought too many surprises to himself, so he will definitely be able to give himself an even more incredible shock again. Maybe, he can knock the opponent unconscious in the final counterattack of his life!

Even if it's just a few minutes of fainting

And myself.

Moran didn't know what else she could do. She couldn't open her eyes. She only felt a huge wind pressure coming towards her, but her body could no longer make evasive movements and could only let the huge force slap her. Flying, then hitting the wall not far away and slowly sliding down.

But she didn't feel more pain, maybe because the pain had reached a limit and she couldn't inflict more pain. But overall, this was a good thing, because she should be able to stand up again!

Just once, even if it’s just one more time to stand up!

The demon walked towards her step by step, and the blow just now luckily tore open the coagulated blood on the eyelids, allowing Moran to see some scenes through the small gap.

She saw the demon clenching his hands together and raising them high above his head!

That contains a huge amount of power.

Although at this moment, Moran didn't want to be rational anymore, she still hated being rational for so long. Then she found that she couldn't move, and her legs were completely out of her control. It might be the nerves extending from the brain. It had broken, and those who were wailing crazily to stand up again turned into the weakest whimpering.

All right

"Goodbye, Master"

She muttered almost out of consciousness.

Maybe it's because her subconscious has sensed that her life has finally come to an end. At this moment of dying, she wants to say something, which is similar to love, similar to bondage, similar to what she felt when she was beside her master in the past years. Companionship, the back figure who was still working hard until the early morning, or the tough but unfamiliar kiss that night.

She suddenly felt very happy, because in this world, perhaps she was the only one who knew that the master was still not very good at things after all.

However, she still didn't say that simple word.

Because that word is not in the Maid's Handbook.

So, say goodbye.

She fell down into a pool of her own blood.

Finally closed his eyes.

Therefore, she did not see that the demon fell to the ground just like her at this moment, making a loud noise! Then, it began to twitch, and the muscles all over its body began to spasm crazily. The death of the summoner also gave it fatal feedback. Its body began to collapse and decompose, and the terrifyingly strong muscles seemed to have become necrotic in an instant, withering and withering. , and finally turned into an inactive blue-grey color.

Finally, motionless.

Everything around finally fell into silence

In the entire sea of ​​​​fire, there was no more roaring, no more roaring and popping sounds. All the gas pipes had been turned into wreckage, and only the flames continued to burn.

I don’t know how long it took.

A huge whistling sound passed through the sky, and then more than ten air-to-ground steam takeoffs and landings, which would only appear in the most difficult military missions, flew quickly, with giant wings that were seven or eight meters long spinning rapidly. , it was obviously more than sixty meters above the ground, but it brought up a fierce wind, blowing sand and rocks below.

Further away, more steam chariots drove along the damaged road, and their wheels rolled over the remains of buildings on the ground, making a loud rumbling sound.

It is hard to imagine that in the city of London, there can be so many combat mechanical units newly developed by the Mechanical Institute. Many of them are even beyond the imagination of ordinary citizens, because they have never appeared in newspapers.

Immediately afterwards, many people jumped out of the lift. They ignored the damage caused by falling from high altitude and hit the ground directly. Then they dispersed in a well-trained manner and began to look for targets. Some ran faster than The mechanical man crossed the collapsed buildings and joined the search team.

These people came late for various reasons. Some were deployed to other places in advance, some were unable to escape due to some weird orders, and some even had more than half of the mechanical units suddenly picked up for unknown reasons today. A notice has arrived for temporary maintenance of the steam turbine.

In short, they did not realize that there was a force delaying them until they learned that an unprecedented air crash had occurred in the center of London, until they learned that the Holy Son of the Holy See and the great Lord Nightingale were all there. Within the scope of the air crash.

These people finally panicked and rushed over desperately, but it was still too late.

Fortunately, after arriving at the disaster scene, these rescue teams showed all their qualities. In just ten minutes, the search area covered an area of ​​two to three kilometers in diameter, and soon , in a huge pile of corpses, the unconscious His Highness the Holy Son was found.

In the next few hours, the fire was put out, and those who died had no idea how to count them. In the following reports, as well as the panic, sadness, questioning and condemnation from London citizens, they did not know how to count them. How many methods can be used to calm down the anger caused by this disaster, and even how much price will the government have to pay, and how much impact will the faith of the Holy See receive?

And most importantly, where did this disaster come from?

Fortunately, these issues are not something the rescue team should consider.

His Royal Highness the Holy Son has been sent to the nearest medical institution. The entire hospital should be recruited, and then a group of the most elite medical teams will be stationed. Even the geniuses from the Academy of Life Sciences may be invited.

In another area of ​​the disaster, the rescue team found Miss Moran unconscious.

The young servant who had been following His Royal Highness the Holy Son seemed to be dying, but the weakest beating of her heart still allowed the rescue team to carry her body, which was almost ready to break at any time, onto the medical transport vehicle.

As for the demon that fell next to him, it was obvious that it had completely lost its activity, but its body still needed to be transported away. A large third-level demon was secretly taken out of the demon breeding farm without any records. , which must have gone through countless channels. I believe that a professional team will soon conduct the most detailed investigation on it.

As for this devil's contractor.

It took several more hours before it was finally found in a church one kilometer outside the fire area.

The corpse was lying on the ground of the church in an extremely tragic way. The heart was dug out alive. There were obvious traces of battle around the site. It didn't take much experience to see that it was because of the death of the contractor. , which resulted in the third-order great demon suffering backlash and dying.

But the strange thing is.

No one fighting the contractor was found at the scene.
