…

Let’s look at the two ends of that statement.

Outside the palace, the soldiers of the King's Army have already assembled and are marching towards two positions.

One is the downtown area to assist the security personnel who are fighting against the Blood Demon.

The second is to clean up the monsters that invaded Notting Forest in the palace.

However, the dragon hovering over Kevir made the second plan impossible to implement.

The Shadow Elders are mere legendary creatures in Novigrad, in the Nilfgaardian Empire, and beyond the distant sea lines.

But in Keville, it is indeed a terrifying shadow that every household is aware of.

However, all impressions and rumors were shattered into pieces in today's disputes.

This terrifying creature, which made children cry when hearing it and made the country consider it a disaster, was in a state of disarray at the moment.

Its body has fallen into exhaustion from falling apart again and again, and what is hanging under this dark cloud is no longer the shadow elder who looks like a mummy.

It showed its original appearance, with flesh-colored wings on its back, its hands turned into sword-like claws, and the eyes and nose on its head disappeared, leaving only a gaping mouth.

This is the final form of the Shadow Elder, and it is also its most terrifying and deadly state.

But even so, its sharp claws could only leave shallow scratches on Leviathan's body, and its sonic speed was even more of a joke under the water waves Leviathan summoned out of thin air.

Marjie, who collapsed in the palace, wanted to take out the blood medicine and give himself an injection, but after repeated attempts, he gave up. He did not have the slightest strength to hold the blood medicine, nor did he have the slightest energy to take out the food, unless someone took the food.

Put it near his mouth, and he might be able to open his mouth with a weak biting force.

Time passed by second by second, and he kept calculating how much time was left for Leviathan to survive in this world.

50 seconds…

"Leviathan...don't worry so much, hurry up..."

Under his prayer, Leviathan's fins suddenly raised, and frost-like air burst out from within.

The Shadow Elder flew through the air and was shocked by the cold current.

This is the magic power that makes his whole body numb. When Leviathan's pupils move towards the shadow elder, water flowing through the sky appears out of thin air. Every drop of water condenses on Leviathan as if it has life.

Around him, a waterspout formed, surrounding the Notting Forest Palace.

"God..."

Felina stood in the square, and the surprise she had just felt had turned into fear in her numbness, just like the fear that a mortal puts down all dignity after witnessing the arrival of a god.

"This dragon is the god of nature... the real god..."

Just like her imagination, in the "Final Fantasy" series, there are many gods who are superior to living things, including the water god Leviathan, the fire god Ifrit, the thunder god Ram, and the dragon god who stands at the top.

, Bahamut.

This is completely different from the world view of "The Witcher". Although there are various creatures that transcend common sense in this continent, all creatures have not reached the level of gods. Even the Mirror Master is only called a demon. The gods of this world

It is a mysterious master hidden under the water. No one has really seen it. Those who have seen it also left the eternal world forever the moment the divine body was reflected in their eyes.

"Someone!"

Suddenly a man shouted and pointed to the floor where the explosion had just occurred.

Felina looked over and saw two people. One was holding a cane and was emaciated, climbing towards the roof in the violent storm. One was naked from the waist up, half of the body was rotten, and one hand had a thick bone whip, which was also pointing upwards.

Crawling like a chase.

"Edward Roger...Charon..."

Felina recognized the two of them at a glance, which made her even more curious as to what was happening in front of her.

"One is Charon, who is the other?" A warlock wearing the same white robe as Felina frowned slightly. She is one of the twenty agents of the Red Order, and like Felina, is the most important person in Kevir.

High-level sorcerer.

"...Edward Roger."

"The person predicted in the book?"

Felina didn't say much, thinking deeply about what they, the so-called protectors of the kingdom, could do in the face of this situation.

Do you want to believe this "Edward Roger"...

"Where's the Source Warlock?"

This question woke Felina up, and suddenly what Cha Bai said came to mind.

"Probably still in the palace."

Nervousness and displeasure flashed through the eyes of my colleague, "Say it again..."

Felina did not answer this question, but said solemnly: "We have no way to fight in the air. If the Shadow Elder falls on the ground, gather all our strength to attack it. All vampires, including Charon, are now enemies of Kovir.

, all based on killing. As for that Edward Roger... I can only suggest that he may be real..."

"Felina, do you know the truth?"

"Part of it."

"When everything is over, I need you to give the Order a reasonable explanation, and...all the soldiers! Enter the palace to search for Master Yuan Warlock!"

Facing the questioning from her colleagues, Felina looked at the soldiers who ventured into the palace and lowered her head slightly, but her pupils were staring at Li Nuo who had climbed to the roof.

At this moment, she was secretly saying in her heart, "Chabai... you asked me to trust you, so don't lie to me... absolutely don't."

…

"Ha ha……"

Li Nuo panted heavily and climbed to the roof as fast as he could in his life. His cane stuck firmly into the broken tiles, and he used his remaining strength to maintain his balance and prevent himself from being blown down by the strong wind and rain.

Suddenly the roof cracked, and a bone whip was swept out. Li Nuo immediately used his cane and jumped sideways to avoid it. The moment he landed, there was a sharp pain in his left arm.

Twenty seconds have passed, and all the bones in the left arm have been shattered due to the function of [Residual Blood Man].

At this time Charon had appeared in front of him.

Li Nuo gritted his teeth and held on to the painful area, holding on to the cane and forcing the expression on his face to remain the same.

Charon glanced at the Leviathan floating in the sky, then looked at Li Nuo and asked: "What is the purpose of bringing me here? To see the mythical creatures up close? Or do you want to borrow a thunderbolt from the sky to kill me?"

?”

Li Nuo glanced at the warlocks gathered in the square below, and then forced himself to smile.

"Fuck you, uncle."

Throwing out a national curse, he appeared in front of Charon in an instant. His left arm was disabled, so he couldn't pick up the firearm. He could only use the cane.

In the pouring rain, the wielded cane sword left an afterimage of sparks and sliced ​​Charon's face, taking away the flesh and blood on his face.

Charon didn't care. Under his feet, the tiles shattered, and the sickles and bone whips broke through the rubble from below.

Li Nuo dodged to one side. This time the [Residual Blood Man] strengthened his insight, dodged two bone whips as expected, and jumped into the air before the third one appeared.

When the third one appeared, Li Nuo tapped the sole of his foot, shook the cane, turned it into a whip blade, and hit Charon's neck.

Perhaps because of the heavy rain, the flames were not as strong as before.

But it doesn't matter, Li Nuo never thought about killing Charon on his own.

The reason is that, against all odds, I never expected that Charon would be strengthened by the T-Virus.

According to Li Nuo's own guess about the virus and the vampire's physique, Charon now has the recovery speed of a vampire. At the same time, due to the influence of the virus, there is a second mutation of the physique, which means that the physical recovery speed is even faster.

If we talk about basic attribute values, except for the ridiculous medical treatment, Li Nuo is not inferior to Charon in terms of hard power. However, the problem of blood volume is now being magnified due to the existence of [identity].

Li Nuo's disadvantage of being unable to cope with a protracted battle is gradually becoming apparent. If this delay continues, Charon will inevitably find that he cannot withstand any attack.

He didn't want the next plot to develop into a scene where a righteous space pirate brother was beaten to pieces by the villain's serious punch.

Therefore, there are only two things to do: wait and engage in guerrilla warfare, reduce frontal conflicts, and implement the tactical idea of ​​​​shooting for one place.

As for how to defeat Charon...

"Hey……"

After Li Nuo hit Charon, he immediately retreated and distanced himself. He moved his left arm slightly to confirm that the broken bones were gradually recovering due to the termination of [Residual Blood Man].

Then he shot a [Seal of Yaksi], and when Charon paused for a moment, he pulled the gun and pulled the trigger.

Unexpectedly, the bullet was blocked by a living bone whip.

Charon regained consciousness after just a second, glanced at the gun marks on the bone whip, seemed to see something suspicious, and sneered: "Tell me, what is your ability to suddenly become stronger?

"

"How much?"

Li Nuo threatened, fired another shot, and then instantly bullied Charon.

"How about just your two arms?"

After saying a cold word, Li Nuo instantly felt a huge pressure coming from deep within the other party's body.

Like an instinctive reaction, he quickly retreated, not caring about the remaining time of the [Remnant Blood Man].

Bang...

Bang...

Karma...

Several sounds of bones breaking came from Charon's body.

"you……"

Li Nuo hesitated to speak, he had a bad omen.

"What do you want to say?"

As Charon spoke, his eyes, face and body were changing.

The eyes turned black, the pupils turned white, the muscles began to swell, the veins bulged, pus and blood flowed from the eyes on the chest, the skin gradually turned white, and light red fur appeared on the body surface.

Suddenly there was a sound of flesh and blood exploding, then the backbone protruded from the body surface, and a broken bone protruded from the left forehead.

"cut……"

Li Nuo suppressed the pain and gasped, 20 seconds had passed, and this time it was his right leg that was broken.

He leaned on his cane and struggled to keep his body standing. It was not that he had no chance to make a move in these 20 seconds, but it was just because Charon's changes gave him too much shock.

Charon is both a player and a vampire who does not belong to this world, and his team has obviously worked on the "Ritual of the Night" script.

Therefore, Li Nuo guessed that Charon's change should belong to the change of Dracula's bloodline in the "Castlevania" series, and he is a more terrifying vampire than the Shadow Elder bloodline.

But the change was not over yet. The area around the eye on Charon's chest began to rot, and the rotten flesh extended to his left shoulder, where another eye appeared.

This change is a genetic mutation of the T virus...

After the two changes combined, Charon breathed a sigh of relief. He had become a real...monster.

Li Nuo's condition relaxed, and he immediately raised the gun and pulled the trigger.

When the pistol's slight recoil burst out, his energy and broken legs could no longer support his body, and he collapsed backwards.

The bullet passed through the raindrops and just before Charon's head, Charon disappeared.

When he reappeared, he was only one step away from Li Nuo.

"Tell me what your strange ability is."

Facing Charon's question, Li Nuo raised the corner of his mouth and showed a contemptuous smile, "A super demon hunter, the kind who can change his hair color."

"Ha...you are so tough." Charon smiled, full of regret.

He raised his arms, and the bone whip twisted rhythmically as if it was alive.

At this time, there was a loud roar from the sky.

Charon was also shocked for a moment. He raised his head and looked at the source of the roar, the water god Leviathan.

The dragon opened its mouth, and the waterspout around it gathered in front of its face and turned into a small water ball.

Suddenly, the water ball exploded, and several water cannons attacked the Shadow Elder at a speed that could not be seen clearly by the naked eye.

A loud bang!

The Shadow Elder was washed down by the water cannon. It smashed the roof and passed through the building. Li Nuo and Charon slid down the slope due to the violent vibration caused by the destruction of the roof. Just in front of the eaves, Li Nuo struck with a stick.

On the tiles, secure yourself firmly on the edge of the fall.

There was a sudden bang, and the elder Shadow was hit by the water cannon and hit the ground. A large pit collapsed in the square, and the splashing water was stained red with blood.

In the large pit filled with blood, the Shadow Elder floated on the water with his head raised.

The face has returned to the skeletal look of a zombie, its limbs are scattered and floating on the water, and its body has been crushed into mud by the high-pressure water cannon.

"ah!!!"

Its hoarse roar shook the ears of everyone present, filled with unwillingness and anger.

In contrast, there was another huge roar in the sky. The sound covered up the elder's roar, just like the contrast between the disparity in strength between Leviathan and the Shadow Elder.

"it's over!"

Li Nuo endured the pain of having his left arm broken again, and his heart was already full of luck and joy.

As long as one more water cannon fires, the shadow elder will turn into a pulp.

At that time, it doesn't matter even if you are hit in the head by Charon who suddenly arrives. As long as the team can successfully pass the script and does not need to sign an unequal treaty with Mirror Master to betray the team for glory, that is victory.

Li Nuo looked at Leviathan anxiously, urging in his heart, Brother Long, hurry up and fire off the cannon!

[Traveler Group, No. 5930, Marger has withdrawn from the script]

ha!?

Li Nuo was shocked by the sudden system sound!

At the same time, as the summoner left, the Leviathan above turned into white light and disappeared under the dark clouds.

This is too sudden!

He looked at the sky again. The dark clouds were still there, but the raindrops were getting thinner.

"Really disappeared?"

Li Nuo looked to the sky and sighed...

"Marjie... Brother Ma... you died at the right time..."

Li Nuo didn't know that where Marjie originally lay, a wall collapsed due to the violent vibration just now...

At the same time, Cha Bai, who fell in the ruins, opened his eyes slightly.

When she was in coma, a faint voice appeared in her deep mind, like the mechanical voice of the pod machine that had followed her before.

"Dream……?"

She didn't know that it was actually the sound of the system predicting that Marger would die.

With blurred vision, he looked at the ruins around him, and then noticed the coat draped around him.

"what happens……"

Questions popped into her head, but at this moment, her whole body was so weak that she couldn't feel the existence of her limbs.

It's not over yet, something must be done...

This was her only thought at the moment.

Suddenly, her blurred vision saw something familiar next to her cheek.

It looks like a piece of bread covered in dust.

Cha Bai opened her thin lips with all her strength, and took a bite, no matter if it was a stone or food.

He swallowed it hard, and after a while, a warm current surged through his body, and his limbs seemed to be reconnected to his body.
Chapter completed!
