The silver slash flew through the void and struck directly on the 'shepherd'.
The subsequent attack from the [Five Evils] overwhelmed the 'Shepherd'.
"Jason!"
The weak Taniel shouted in surprise.
Jason nodded towards his friend, and when he glanced at Lidmoor and the other five knights, he also nodded.
Then, his eyes looked forward.
Looking at the ‘shepherd’!
‘Shepherd’ is not dead!
Or……
Not dead!
The 'Shepherd', who has lost most of his body, exists in an appearance that is somewhere between an entity and a ghost.
He glared at Jason.
There was disbelief in his eyes.
He was naturally wary of Jason.
Moreover, he thought that he had gone as far as to be wary of Jason.
Because, he tested Jason more than once.
He almost fully understood this person who unexpectedly appeared in his plan.
He thought he knew Jason well.
Whether it's strength or trump card, this is the right way.
But the scene before him was unacceptable to him.
Jason showed far greater strength than imagined.
In his estimation, Jason's strength should be around the sixth level 'professional', which may be stronger than the average sixth level 'professional', but his strength is limited.
But what about the facts?
The blow just now directly shattered his estimate.
but……
"Such a blow shouldn't be possible in a short time!"
"Maybe there are still layers of restrictions!"
"So, I still have a chance!"
At this moment, the 'shepherd' who still believed in his own judgment showed a smile that he thought was polite.
"See you again, Jason."
"I have to say, you surprise me every time I see you."
"This time?"
"That's the biggest surprise."
The 'Shepherd' pointed at his broken body, with a helpless and bitter smile on his face. There was no trace of hatred or anger, but instead he acted in a graceful manner.
Jason looked at each other indifferently.
He has already understood the other party's nature clearly.
It's a combination of a jackal and a viper.
Naturally, he will not be fooled by the other party's illusion at this moment.
"I have been planning this for a long time."
"Taking you into consideration."
"I just didn't expect that you would still cause an accident."
Speaking of this, the 'shepherd' shook his head and sighed.
Then, the 'shepherd' showed a playful smile.
"Jason, don't you want to know why not a single 'Night Watcher' appeared in the battle before you?"
"Not even one!"
'Shepherd' emphasized.
The people on the side were thoughtful.
The 'Night Watchman's House' is naturally not well-known to ordinary people in Terte.
In fact, most ordinary people don't even know the existence of the 'Night Watch House'.
But for "mysterious people", the "Night Watch House" is famous.
Similarly, everyone also knows the temperament of the 'Night Watchman'.
If we talk about the funeral at the beginning, it is normal that the "Night Watch" will not appear, but when the "Shepherd" appears and such a monster appears above his head, the "Night Watch" still does not appear. This is contrary to common sense.
of.
Could it be...
Lidmoor looked at his two companions.
He saw worry on the faces of his two companions.
For the 'Night Watch', the 'Knights' have always regarded them as friends.
They don't mind the 'Night Watch' joining the team.
Even ‘night watchmen’ are welcome to come along.
Because they know they can give each other their back.
Worried, the three Lidmoor subconsciously turned their attention to the 'Knight of Knowledge'.
Then, they discovered that this 'Guardian Knight' had an indifferent expression.
Not only this 'Guardian Knight' is like this, but also Jason.
The three of them looked at each other.
The expressions of the 'Guardian Knight' and Jason were enough to show that they already knew what happened, which was why the 'Night Watch' did not arrive.
However, they thought about it for a long time and still couldn't figure it out.
Are we a little stupid?
The three Lidmores were thinking.
Especially when they saw Siwok VII thoughtfully beside him, they couldn't help but scratch their heads.
"You must be my teacher."
"You have laid out everything since you were at Lord's!"
"No!"
"It's earlier!"
"Lord is just one part of it. My teacher and the old knight are all part of your plan - my teacher was attracted by your evil deeds and pursued you relentlessly, and you are
Let him step into the trap step by step."
"In the end, the 'Night Watchmen' who attracted Terte went to the rescue, so that they had no time to care about what happened here."
Jason spoke slowly.
This is not difficult to guess.
When the 'Shepherd' appeared here and showed strength that far exceeded that of the fifth-level 'professional', the so-called "hunting by Dan" before was naturally an illusion.
An illusion that a 'shepherd' wants everyone to see.
In addition, the 'Shepherd' ignores most attacks, but will be injured by [Evil-Breaking Slash].
The answer is obvious.
From the beginning to the end, the opponent wanted to move the 'Night Watch' away from this battlefield.
Bang, bang!
As soon as Jason finished speaking, the 'shepherd' started to applaud.
"What about Beta?"
"You don't think I want to use beta to attract the 'knights', do you?"
The 'shepherd' continued to ask.
"Of course not you."
"It's Doyle."
"It intersects with you and does evil to each other, just like killing each other alternately, accomplishing each other's goals, so that ordinary people can't find out who did it, nor can they figure out your true purpose."
"You took action for it and murdered the old sergeant."
"It took action for you and attracted the 'Night Watch'."
Jason answered.
"Hmm, not bad."
"That's basically it, but..."
"You also overlooked one thing!"
"That's what my fundamental purpose is!"
‘Shepherd’ induced Jason to continue guessing.
Jason frowned slightly, seemingly confused by this question.
Haha, I was fooled!
The 'shepherd' laughed secretly in his heart.
Then, he prepared to slip away.
This was an opportunity he finally created.
Delay time!
That’s right!
Just delaying time!
The 'Shepherd' said so much to delay time so that his secret technique could be completed.
Now, this secret technique is about to be completed.
He is about to escape.
Although he suffered heavy losses this time, he still has a chance to come back.
When that time comes, he must make the guys in front of him look good!
He's going to...huh?!
Just when the 'shepherd' was still swearing, he saw Jason, who should have been attracted by his question and frowning, raised the corners of his mouth.
next moment--
The colorful brilliance blooms again.
Green, yellow, red, black and white are intertwined.
The phantom of the snake, scorpion, toad and centipede appeared faintly.
boom!
'Shepherd' was once again flooded.
"You know I'm stalling for time!"
When submerged, the 'shepherd' roared in disbelief.
"Know."
"I'm stalling for time too!"
Jason admitted frankly.
This calm look made the 'shepherd' completely tear off his disguise, and he roared again and again.
But, to no avail.
The broken body of the ‘shepherd’ was completely destroyed.
Only a shadow was left.
The moment this phantom appeared, a silver slash appeared.
【Destroying Evil】!
[Evil-Destroying Slash], which has reached a power above the 'ferocious level', is extremely fatal to any incorporeal or evil creature.
However, this blow did not work.
Because the layers of translucent tentacles just hang down and wrap around the 'shepherd'.
The silver slash disappeared after cutting off several tentacles.
Under the layers of packages, the ‘shepherd’ stared at Jason viciously.
"You forced me!"
The other party said this.
Then, he just took a step forward and completely merged with the translucent tentacle in front of him.
Whoosh!
This translucent tentacle immediately retracted into the ripples.
Then--
Boom!
There were bursts of thunder in mid-air.
I saw that the ripples that were originally slowing down began to increase in frequency.
One after another.
Layer upon layer.
Originally it was just above the small hall and extended towards the square outside the hall.
But at this time, it completely enveloped the sky above the entire palace.
call!
Three thick dragon breaths appeared in cone-shaped jets.
Sixth-level 'Dragon Warlock' Xion and his younger siblings Noel and Nolin, two fifth-level 'Dragon Warlocks', turned into giant dragons and breathed flames, blocking the translucent tentacles that hammered down one by one.
On the ground, the remaining seven fourth-level 'Dragon Vein Warlocks' also gathered fireballs and shot them out rapidly.
Initially, the method of the ten ‘Dragon Vein Warlocks’ was effective.
However, now with the 'shepherd' integrated into these translucent tentacles.
Everything has changed.
These translucent tentacles are not only flexible but also versatile.
and……
Defense and strength have also become stronger!
"Iron wall!"
"Blade!"
Siwok VII, who had recovered a little physical strength, immediately blessed his cousins.
On the side, Lidmur and the other three knights were building the 'Sacred Shield' again.
The 'Knight of Knowledge' supported his friend 'Knight of the Hammer' into the defensive formation, and also pulled Taniel and Al Xieli in.
The spy leader, the upright Al Xieli is not dead.
Even compared to everyone present, the spy leader was only slightly injured.
Apart from a few extra bumps on my head, there was nothing serious at all.
However, the other party is still a little dazed and unable to react.
But the other party knows what to do.
After saluting directly to Siwok VII, he stood in front of the young emperor, acting as a shield.
At this time, the 'Knight of Knowledge' had already walked in front of Jason.
"you……"
"Are you okay?"
What the original 'Knight of Knowledge' wanted to say was 'What good way do you have to deal with the monster in front of you'.
Although the 'Knight of Knowledge' stubbornly believes that Jason should become one of the 'Guardian Knights', the 'Knight of Knowledge' cannot forget Jason's identity as a 'Night Watcher' even if it is deliberately ignored.
Especially at times like this.
As we all know, the "Night Watch" has the longest range of strange monsters on the other side.
However, I haven't waited for the 'Knight of Knowledge' to ask this question.
The 'Guardian Knight' heard Jason swallowing.
This is...hungry?
This 'Guardian Knight' was very confused.
"fine."
Jason said this, staring directly at the growing ripples above his head and the tentacles emerging from the ripples.
The sweet taste made him swallow his saliva involuntarily.
Although he has been able to control his 'appetite', Jason will not refuse the food delivered to his door.
Moreover, he can sense more at this moment.
For example [Hungry Beast]!
He could clearly feel the hunger of this dark beast.
That's his hunger too.
The two are originally one.
The next moment, a huge dark shadow appeared behind Jason, waiting for scarlet eyes, opened its bloody mouth, and rushed towards the translucent tentacles above his head.
Those translucent tentacles directly hit the dark beast.
But it didn't work at all.
Tentacles passed over the body of the dark beast.
Then……
It was just devoured.
In fact, the dark giant beast didn't even need to open its mouth.
And when the dark giant beast opened its mouth to devour, an invisible suction force appeared from the bloody mouth, and the translucent tentacles within a radius of a hundred meters were pulled into the octopus like an octopus being twisted together.
In the mouth.
Not just the tentacles within this radius.
The tentacles farther away also moved their whole bodies towards here because of the pull.
[The dark beast: It is the embodiment of your ‘hunger’. When you fully control your own ‘appetite’, it will also be completely controlled by you, and it will become your best helper. 】
[Deterrence: The dark giant beast has the coercion of a superior predator. When the enemy is an existence that may become food, it will make a mental judgment with you. If you pass the judgment, you will get rid of the deterrence. If the judgment fails, you will be shocked]
[Nothingness: The body of the dark giant beast is between substance and nothingness]
[Superspeed: When it turns into nothingness, the speed of the dark beast increases greatly]
[Sucking: When turned into substance, it will absorb attacks below the 'strong' level (including 'strong' level). If it is 'food', it will be eaten directly. 】
[Swallowing: The dark giant beast opens its mouth and creates a suction force field with a suction force of 'fierce' level and a radius of 100 meters. As time goes by, after 5 seconds, the suction force of this force field increases to 'fierce' level.
The radius increases by two hundred meters. After 8 seconds, the suction power increases to the 'Crazy' level and the radius increases by 300 meters. After 10 seconds, the force field interest increases to the 'Dragon' level and the radius increases by 400 meters;
Creatures caught in the suction of the force field will be swallowed if it is determined that they cannot escape; in the devouring state, the dark behemoth cannot enter the void state, nor can it turn on the sucking mode.]
(Note: When the dark behemoth encounters death, you will appear in the 'hungry' state again. This state will disappear after eating a lot, but it will take 7 days before the dark behemoth can be summoned again)
…
Jason looked at the text about [Jet Black Behemoth] in front of him, and then glanced at the growing suction field and the translucent tentacles that were completely dragged down by the suction field.
He suddenly turned around and walked towards the corner.
As he walked, a thick fog surrounded him.
Although eating the 'branches of the World Tree' freed him from the unknown gaze.
But that's just getting rid of it, it doesn't mean that the unknown gaze won't come again.
Especially this kind of battle.
Who knows what will happen.
So, just to be on the safe side.
Jason thinks he should improve his strength.
His eyes turned to [Flash Technique]!
The next moment, he thought silently in his heart——
