It had only been a moment since John had seen the horrifying image in the room until he had lost consciousness.
A pure white flower growing from flesh and blood was still left in his mind, and the terrifying contrast made him feel a tingling scalp and tangled hair.
But he had no time to react to escape.
In the next instant, his vision was pitch-black, and there was pain that surpassed his limits.
These short and long seconds were desperate.
He could clearly feel the blood spurting against his skin, penetrating from his ears, eyes, mouth, and nostrils inch by inch.
From the epidermis, to the internal organs, to the brain.
John felt that he was like a swollen leather pouch filled with flesh and blood, stirred frantically inside, and was no longer himself, or a conceptual person, who finally settled down.
At the door of the room, the middle-aged black mage simply stopped, then lowered her head in a doldrums.
His hand was still on the doorknob, and the writhing blood on the back of his hand disappeared rapidly.
"interests-"
John stepped back and gently closed the door again.
As he descended, he muttered occasionally and was confused: "I ... I, I must ... I must ..."
He seemed to have just acquired a language skill, and he stumbled and uttered many meaningless whispers.
But as he walked down, the speed of speaking gradually became normal.
The expression of the words also became clear.
"I must cleanse .. everything that threatens the existence of God ..."
"Lord, your servant is here ..."
"Faithfulness to you."
——
Yoai is waiting in the dark alley.
He finished smoking, threw it on the ground and smashed it by stepping on its shadow, and took out his pocket watch to look at it.
A little rain dousing the dial.
He frowned and wiped the raindrops with his thumb.
Half an hour has passed.
It is no more than two kilometers from No Street. 23. With the speed of John's Shadow Art, it would take about five minutes to reach the goal.
The investigation is not in-depth.
This was much slower than his usual speed when John was doing exploratory tasks.
"It seems like this bookstore really isn't easy ..."
Yoai sighed.
He rightly chose not to go alone because of caution.
But until now, he had not sensed any large-scale ether fluctuations towards 23rd Street, so there was at least no battle.
The greatest possibility was that John had succeeded clandestinely, but perhaps the other party had taken some defensive action without getting any results.
This wasn't too bad, but he might have been stunned, and he might still have to execute it himself in the future.
Now, let's wait for John to arrive and make a plan.
Yoai still believes in John's ability to sneak in and escape. After all, the hybridization of humans and dream beasts was extremely rare.
With half of Shadowmoss' blood flowing through his body, John was able to perform the shadow technique 200 times, and blending in with the shadow and hiding the breath was as easy and easy as going home.
"Wow..."
In the blink of an eye, a torrential rain swept away the rest of the cigarette butts, and followed the pooling stream of water, spinning into the sewer.
Yoai put back his pocket watch, and will light another cigarette.
Suddenly he was confused.
He had clearly extinguished the smoke Why did he still have a shadow in this dark alley on a rainy day?
"Damn!"
Yoai's face changed suddenly, and she immediately squeezed the cigarette in her hand and said loudly, "The Light Burning Technique is a Strong Inflammation Curse!"
Unfortunately, the cigarette, which was used as a temporary buffer, instantly lit up, turning into a dazzling burst of flames, like a flash of lightning, instantly illuminated the entire alley.
The best way to overcome shadows is light and fire!
However, Yoai knew that the current situation was very unfavorable for him.Wetting in the rain had greatly weakened all the spells of fire, and the complementary props were just ordinary cigarettes.
All of this meant that his powerful burning light technique could not cause any damage except for a few seconds.
So he immediately retreated and took out a red jewel the size of a fingernail from his arm.
He was convinced that it was John who turned around and dealt a blow.
Although I don't know why he betrayed, but now, he must die!
Yoai's eyes were cold: "The Earth Burning Curse!"
However, the shadow on the ground was ahead of him!
A second before he realized something was wrong, the shadow turned into its original person
Shaped, the metal beams he carried turned into countless sharp spears, piercing Yoai's body.
"Aah!"
Yoai was nailed to the wall of the alley by the inertia, and with a bang, the wall cracked with the spiderweb marks.
His eyes were reddened with pain and he screamed.
Of course, the puncture wound alone did not make him behave so irresistibly.Various thorns that changed shape on the spear at the time it passed through his body that made him howl.
At the same time, tyrannical flames roared across the alley, turning everything into a scorched earth.
John's unsound body was torn apart by the flames, and finally turned into coke and fly ash in silence, and into a silhouette that was broken in a blinding flame.
The brief confrontation suddenly ended.
Yoai used the Transfiguration Technique to release the metal spear on his body, and directly used the Heating Technique to fuse it into molten iron.
He flinched and covered his wound, staggered two steps, and sneered: "I'm more proficient than you in this matter of betrayal. Do you think I'll be helpless? That's naive and stupid!"
Waves of life disappeared within the flame, and the charred silhouette turned into a statue in the middle of the alley, symbolizing the death of this foolish black mage.
Yoai stretched out her hand, preparing for the final burst of inflammation to end the battle.
However, the charred flying ash fell to the ground, and on the wall, it took root in an instant, and countless blood shots spread out, covering the entire alley in the blink of an eye.
"what?!"
When Yoai realized something was wrong, the alley had been blocked by this writhing blood shot.
He immediately released the incantation, but the rapid proliferation of these things was frightening, and they gathered in the middle at an extremely fast speed, as if swallowing them.
Yoai's smile finally hardened on her face, looking around, showing a horrified expression: "You're not John! Who are you!"
The blood shot and the sarcoma swelled and collapsed like breathing, and made a sharp sound with John's voice: "God ..your servant .. cleared the obstacle for you ..."
The god?
Yoai caught the key word. John's background is very clear. He was never a believer in any church.
Why did a "master" suddenly appear? Just half an hour after John left to investigate.
There is only one explanation.
Bookstore owner! This is a warning from the bookstore owner!
Before being swallowed, Yoai's last thoughts appeared.
——
"Knick."
Khris heard a knock on the door behind him, and said, "Come in. What's up?"
The subordinate's trembling voice sounded: "Master Yoai .. die."
Khris' gaze frowned: "What's wrong?"
The subordinate said: "Master Yoai, according to your instructions, sent personnel to the bookstore on 23rd Street, but the people who sent him suddenly betrayed after returning, and obtained an unknown ability, he said, kill Master Yoai."
"These are photographs of the scene, identification of traces of magic and recovery reports at the scene, as well as the last words left by Mr. Yoai on the ground ..."
"what?"
"She said ..‘ Run ~
