Chapter 22 The end of the tragedy, the opening of the fireworks
The red flaming sword light cut through the thick fog in the dark night and shot in the direction from which the dagger came.
But Jack was very smart. The moment she threw the dagger, she transferred, increased the output of the fog, and caused the fog to close again.
Most of the enemies here are too weak. Jack doesn't need to confirm the results of the battle to know that the murder will be established in the future. But those weak humans are well-equipped, and it will be a bit bad for him to be hit.
A woman dressed like a nun and resembling the Virgin unfolded a bright magic circle, and finally made up her mind to join forces and disperse the fog?
Although she didn't think that such a weak magic wave could dispel the mist as a Noble Phantasm, it didn't constitute a reason for her to take action against him. Jack was here to kill, not to fight.
Continuously activate "Maria the Ripper" to cause the nuns and other female members of the Black Codex to fall one after another.
He also interrupted the chants of several other magicians. Even if the target did not meet the requirements for the Jack the Ripper murder incident, he was still a human being. He would still suffer some damage if he was hit by an attack that could not be detected visually. As long as the magic could be interrupted.
This Noble Phantasm does not attack the blue-haired girl or the black-and-white girl. Jack's move is a special attack on women, that is, it is limited to human women. Although those two are disguised, they are obviously not human. Even if they are attacked, it will be meaningless.
.
He spit out the spare scalpel hidden here from his mouth, pinched it with two fingers and flew it gently, inserting it into the ear of the giant shield warrior, turning him into a corpse. After all, the shield did not look like his short weapon.
It can be broken down.
Suddenly, five flaming swords flew in a row! The range was so large that all the fog along the way was dispersed!
"Such a small blade can grasp my position? That samurai is really powerful? Well, it's troublesome, just do it like that."
Jack ignored the glow of the flaming sword, held four daggers in his hands, and shot at the crowd with all his strength!
Even such a casual blow killed three people instantly! Two of them missed, but one pierced two people in succession!
The Black Sacred Code is an elite group of humans, but except for a few god-men of player blood, the others did not break away from ordinary humans after all, and were suppressed to death in front of Jack the Ripper.
And the mighty flames of the sword left a body that had turned into a soldier on the ground. The fog began to dissipate.
"Hey~ I killed nine people, and there are five left. What should I do next?" Jack squatted on the top of a tree outside the foggy area and was thinking.
The clones created by the Noble Phantasm "It is not worthy of being the end of the tragedy (Natural Born Killers)" have no distinction between the main body and the clone. The last one left is the main body. So, leave it at a safe distance and a sure safety zone where you can overlook the battlefield.
Having multiple clones as insurance is also an inevitable choice for a cautious murderer.
In fact, Shiloe and Miyu, who are currently finding a shelter to spend the night in the Imperial Capital, also have Jack accompanying them.
But it must be emphasized that the reason why Jack temporarily retreated was by no means such a boring reason as being hit by the flaming sword.
Jack looked at the sky, his pupils following the cone-shaped object flying through the air in a parabola towards the previous battle zone.
Byrx, the current Chief of the Black Codex, saw the enemy fall to the ground and the fog dissipated. He took a big breath - he could finally breathe normally! What kind of fog was that? After taking a breath, he felt a dull pain in his chest. Even a god like himself felt it.
If this is the case, what kind of pain will the others in the Black Sacred Scripture suffer?
"Count the heads!" he shouted.
"Only... cough, I... cough, cough, cough, we are the only ones left." The young swordsman Julius, who was squatting on the ground and coughing as soon as the enemy retreated, raised his hand to signal.
He relaxed before he was safe. He was very unqualified as a warrior, but there was nothing he could do about it. It was not just the damage caused by the fog, but also the corrosive industrial fog. The damage could only be considered minor——
He was good at using a rapier at a young age and joined the army. Although he encountered some resistance in the selection of the Six-Colored Sacred Code, he obtained the qualifications without difficulty. Finally, he entered the Black Sacred Code and was awarded the Legend
A high-grade Western sword and suit, he can easily kill giant monsters in single combat that must be defeated by a team of adamantine-grade adventurers. He is very high-spirited. This is the first time he has performed a mission, and he feels like a sword is cutting into the running water.
Feeling - Can a sword cut through flowing water?
The other two people, Molde and Drok, had similar reactions. They were both people who were added after the heavy casualties of the Dark Codex in the last battle to recapture the gods. The Black Codex did not have many such missions, so for them, it was still
For the first time, as a being who is one of the most powerful in the church except for gods and men, this blow is really a big blow.
Molde asked: "So, this mission..."
Before he could say anything, he was interrupted by a tone that sounded like schadenfreude: "Ah, there are only one, five and eight seats left? Are you dealing with an enemy of this level?"
Yukari walked over with light steps and spoke in a very casual tone. Byrx finally killed one of them, and Yukari killed two of them without any damage.
Yugali has not grown much in the past twenty years, and her height is only about 1.4 meters. However, her level has increased at an alarming rate, surpassing the two elders, Byrx.
Byrex was about to say something to educate this somewhat arrogant child, but the blue-haired girl Diasha (the big fairy) pulled Yugali and pointed in the air.
"Ah, Mom? What's up there...Ah, what's that?" Yugali curiously looked at the conical objects flying from the sky.
Byrex's heart thumped and he shouted: "Go back!"
Several people quickly jumped away.
Yugali was still there, confused, and was hugged from behind by Diasha. She jumped back, summoned her wings and took off on the spot.
However, each cone warhead actually deviated from the original parabola a little bit, and they were chasing!
"Boom, boom, boom, boom..."
Wave after wave of huge purple-black explosions covered the jungle!
The maximum scope of the explosion was as big as a football field. Except for Diasha who was flying into the air holding Eucalyptus, everyone else was covered by the explosion!
"Mom, what is this?" Yugali asked, tilting her head.
"Yugali, don't you even listen to the lectures in class? Don't you even read the report on the Black Sacred Scripture?" Deiyasha was speechless. You must know that these contents were all taught by her as a tutor to Yukari.
After all, cannons are very useful. Since the Empire is using them, the Theocracy has no reason not to give them a try. It has also allocated funds for research and development over the years.
However, gunpowder that is powerful enough and can be mass-produced with cheap materials has not been produced due to lack of theoretical support. Using corpses as explosives is unethical and cannot reduce much cost, but slightly inferior alternatives have been sought.
Mass production has been achieved, and small batch production has been carried out to enhance the armament of the general army. Even the Sunshine Sacred Scripture and the Fire Extinguishing Sacred Scripture have been equipped in small batches.
