Chapter 98: Self-Immolation
Let’s talk about it under normal circumstances.
Risking his own life to let his companions escape is a touching story.
However, this kind of thing is a bit subtle when it comes to cult warlocks.
Even being willing to sacrifice oneself in order to achieve some harmful event will only cause headaches and troubles.
Squeak -
outside the wall, the sound of the carriage faded away.
The cult warlock didn't intend to make too much of a fuss. After sending away the residents who came over to investigate the situation, they decisively drove away.
After all, these people know it too.
Controlling the scale of the matter will help you escape.
Anything that alerts the investigator on the next block, or the warden even further down the street.
Then no matter how hard we try, it will be impossible to take the information about Berenwich out of the city.
The current situation seems to them to be the best.
In the courtyard where the confrontation was still taking place, the cult warlock who stayed behind and was willing to sacrifice was still looking at the two Ronalds in front of them.
His eyes were very deep, as if he wanted to carve everything in front of him into his heart.
Suddenly, a snowflake fell in my eyes, blocking my vision.
Letting the cold white melt on his face, the man dressed as an investigator smiled.
"I knew it."
He murmured softly, raising his hands slightly in a gesture of surrender and walking towards the two people opposite.
——A man and a woman in front of me.
The cult warlock named Holm recognized it.
He has been with the Burrenwich Bureau of Investigation for nearly three years.
He knew the city and the Bureau's personnel.
Ronald, the newcomer who was taken away by Nicole, and Patricia, the little Nicklaus.
These are all people worth noting in recent days.
The only thing I didn't expect was that this guy named Ronald was actually a ruthless character instead of just a newcomer who attracted Nicole's attention.
Take the black mist that attacked them in the cellar before.
If he, an experienced 'investigator', had not made judgments and timely directed his companions to stabilize their emotions, it would not have been impossible for an ordinary low-level mysterious person to be wiped out by this black mist.
Of course, none of this matters anymore.
If the surviving comrades leave in a carriage, today's information can be passed on.
No one in this neighborhood will stop them.
With this thought in his mind, Holm approached Ronald and the two of them gradually accelerated their pace.
Coming so blatantly.
Ronald and Patricia naturally saw it.
Immediately, their scoldings immediately sounded in the courtyard:
"Stop!"
"Stand where you are."
Holm kept his tone innocent and was about to start to defend:
"Wait, I just wanted to"
"Ah - —!"
A silver light flashed.
Pulling out the rapier stuck on the ground, the girl saw the opponent refused to stop.
It was thrown out without mercy.
In the courtyard where snowflakes were constantly falling, the metal sword blade flashed through the air, piercing the opponent's body like a meteor falling to the ground.
And this time, Patricia was standing just beside the 'investigator'.
Just the right position and extremely precise attack.
What it brings is a record of excellent results.
After the long sword penetrated the enemy's right arm, it was nailed hard under the collarbone, and then passed through the body and nailed the 'investigator''s left arm to the blade.
The subtle angle and force control allow the steel blade to be firmly planted on the opponent's body and firmly limit the possibility of upper body movement.
A thin sword was like a shackle locking his activities.
"."
"Niklaus!"
"Do you really think you can control my freedom!"
Feeling the pain on his body, Holm's eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes, and he shouted almost at the top of his lungs:
"Wait, you I will definitely fall into the abyss of death!"
Although he knew that he would die if he stayed, he was satisfied that he could let his companions escape under Niklaus.
With the attitude of not leaving any information to the other party, he activated the secret hand arranged in his body.
Phew—
the next second, the 'investigator's' actions came to an abrupt halt.
From beneath his brown coat came fierce yellow flames.
The spacious courtyard was illuminated by the corpse's fire, and even the cold air around it was distorted by the sudden high temperature.
Just a few seconds.
The cult warlock who had previously tried to close the distance before setting himself on fire was now reduced to a piece of charcoal in the snow.
The remaining burning debris can even directly dissolve nearby snowflakes.
"."
Seeing the scene in front of him, Ronald remained silent on the spot.
He didn't care about the life or death of the cult warlock in front of him, but this fearless attitude still reminded him that there were a lot of lunatics in this world.
If you include the enemy who self-destructed before,
in less than a quarter of an hour, two of the six cult warlocks lost their ability to move first, and two of the remaining four launched consecutive suicide attacks.
——It’s really cruel.
Patricia was different from the brooding Ronald.
Facing the enemy who was about to immolate himself, she walked to the enemy's corpse without saying a word.
Grabbing a handful of snow from the ground, the girl held the hilt of the sword outside the dark charcoal surface.
Sizzling -
the snow in his hand quickly melted into water, and the burned rapier handle also cooled down to a level that could be held normally.
Sa——
Still holding the sword with one hand, Patricia drew out the rapier and swung it hard. The black char on the sword immediately drew a straight black line on the white snow.
At this time, Patricia spoke again:
"Ronald, where did the escaped people go?"
Ronald replied: "At the
corner at the end of the road to the west, everything is under control."
The black mist left at the bottom of the carriage naturally came into use at this time.
The cult warlock who consciously escaped from death naturally relaxed his emotional control.
And this means that the power of 'Rage' can make them lose consciousness on the carriage.
Being able to face Holm so leisurely before was also thanks to this little arrangement.
Immediately, Patricia walked out the door:
"I'll chase the carriage over. Ronald, please check this house. Is it okay?"
Ronald immediately replied:
"Of course it's okay."
After hearing this, After saying this, the girl walked out of the courtyard with the rapier in hand without looking back.
Seeing the black mist used by Ronald, she consciously thought it was an excellent investigative method, so she handed over the inspection work to Ronald.
After watching Patricia leave the mansion, Ronald was in no hurry to get into the house.
Walk to the dark corpse first.
In the wide cuffs, the dark original scripture appeared in the hand.
This time, it was the perfect time for him to test the crime of 'betrayal'!
