Chapter 38 Defiled Virtue
There's something escaping at eleven o'clock!
Although Colin still couldn't find anything with his naked eyes or smell, he believed in his feelings and decisively took out a handful of bone spurs full of cracks and rushed towards that place!
This was the item that stabbed him in the waist during the previous incident.
Once stabbed by it, all the organs in his body will rapidly fail due to edema. Even if he was in the state of lycanthropy, he would not be able to bear it.
Da da da.
As soon as he arrived ten meters away, he heard the sound of the time-stop effect about to end.
However, he has already reached the target position!
Relying on some kind of combat intuition, Colin grasped the handle of the bone spur tightly and stabbed the "air" forward hard.
Click——
Vaguely, the sharp front part of the bone spur seemed to pierce a layer of hard protection, and then pierced into something that felt like flesh.
In the flash of lightning, without waiting for further thought, a picture suddenly appeared in Colin's mind.
In the picture, his head is flying, as if he has been beheaded again.
Immediately, before the time-stop effect completely disappeared, Colin decisively let go of the dagger and rolled to the left.
Buzz.
A deadly and mysterious sound passed overhead.
Colin did not get up immediately after rolling. Instead, he took advantage of the situation and lay down on the ground. He instantly drew his gun and shot at a seemingly empty place.
When the trigger was pulled, the fire flickered, and several bullets flew out and then disappeared.
"Hit?"
Colin did not hear the sound of the bullet hitting the object, but under normal circumstances, it would have hit the house behind.
There is only one possibility for this situation.
The bullet hit.
However, since he couldn't see the target, he had no idea how effective it would be.
"Yeah, this feeling of fist hitting cotton is really uncomfortable."
Colin cursed lowly, and then stood up with his right hand on the ground. He took out bullets and reloaded his left hand while keeping an eye on his surroundings.
Once you are stabbed by that dagger, nothing will happen!
Then just wait.
Sure enough, after more than ten seconds, there was a sound of liquid dripping from the direction of three o'clock!
Colin turned his head immediately, and saw a human silhouette protruding from the air, and it became more and more obvious.
The other party's invisibility-like ability is losing its effectiveness!
Ke Lin was shocked and realized that it was because the bone spurs had played a role!
While watching full of vigilance, he saw a humanoid creature wearing broken armor and a handful of white bone spurs in its chest gradually appearing.
Under its armor is not a body of flesh and blood, but a large amount of strange black gelatinous substance. It has no helmet, and its head is wrapped around a dirty linen cloth like a mummy. There is a faint trace of black blood on the linen cloth. It oozes out, and the facial features cannot be seen.
In its only remaining left hand, it held a mutilated and broken rusty sword.
Colin even saw holes in its body made by his own bullets, but these holes had little effect on it.
At this moment, it seemed that because the dagger was still taking effect, its body became more and more swollen and filled with water, like a corpse that was soaked to float in a pool.
The air was filled with a disgusting stench.
"It should not belong to a living person."
Ke Lin's eyes drooped slightly, his body leaned forward, his left hand held a gold card, and his right held a gun, posing in an attacking posture like a cheetah.
At this time, this humanoid monster wearing broken armor, dragging a broken rusty sword, moved his legs, and walked towards him step by step, ready to launch the final charge.
However, before it had even taken two steps, the edema in its body seemed to have reached its limit, like an inflated balloon. Black pus seeped out of its pores and gathered into streams, dripping to the ground.
His body was as swollen as a giant's, and even walking was difficult, let alone charging.
However, in order to avoid accidents, Colin used the golden card again when it came close to the effective range.
This time, the filled bullet was fired again, leaving six holes in the monster's body.
After the time stop ended, Colin first felt a strong sense of time confusion, and then noticed that the humanoid monster had fallen to the ground at some point, with stomach-churning black pus pouring out of six holes.
Like a rotten watermelon with a hole in it.
The foul-smelling liquid flowed all over the floor.
"Is it so miserable to be stabbed with this dagger?"
Colin's breathing was slightly stagnant. He estimated that even if he didn't last a last hit, the monster wouldn't last long before it exploded.
The results of the first actual combat with this dagger were frightening.
At the same time, as it fell, mission information emerged in Colin's mind.
[You successfully killed a "Defiled Knight of Virtue". 】
[Event 7 "Kill the monster guarding outside the door" has been completed, and the reward content will be settled after returning. 】
"Defiled Knight of Virtue?"
Colin finally knew the name of this monster, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Although this confrontation, excluding the ten seconds of two pauses, the entire normal time process was less than a minute, the psychological pressure it brought was really not small.
It's not that it's strong, but that its ability is too weird.
Fortunately, it's all over now.
But after taking a look at the corpse on the ground, Colin rolled his eyes, turned around, and looked at his cheap subordinate, wanting to ask him to help pick up the bone spurs.
As a result, when he turned his head, he found that his subordinate had a strange expression and was staring at him. He moved his lips a few times, as if he wanted to say something, but before any sound came out, his head suddenly fell off his neck.
It hit the ground with a bang.
Blood mist burst out from the broken neck and sprayed high into the sky, like a bloody rain.
This... unexpectedly didn't have time to save it!
Colin was stunned. He felt that his reaction was fast enough at that time, and his reaction speed was probably only a tenth of a second.
In the end, it still failed to save Li Ming.
Is the speed of the sword so fast?
And why did it take so long to chop off the head?
It's not scientific.
However, the blood rain did not last long, as Li Ming's entire body quickly disintegrated and turned into gray mist, sweeping towards the flames in the church.
"Go back and read the resurrection?"
Colin probably guessed the reason, and didn't know how long the process would take. In desperation, he turned around and looked at the rotten corpse on the ground, and took out a monocle from his pocket.
[This is a strong person who can actively reduce his own sense of existence and converge his aura, making it difficult for others to detect him. During his lifetime, he was enough to be called extraordinary. 】
[According to the official name of "Virtue Knight", it can be speculated that his ability is related to the "Eight Virtues", and perhaps represents "humility" among them. 】
"Is humility here referring to a physical strength, not just moral honor?"
Colin was thoughtful. Only now did he notice that after the monster died, there were actually a large number of footprints and a special odor at the scene. It not only reduced its own sense of existence, but also reduced the sense of existence of everything related to it. All reduced.
Compared with simple invisibility, this ability is much more troublesome to deal with.
"Tsk, if one virtue represents a kind of power, then I don't know what effect other virtues have. One kind of virtue is so terrible, but if eight virtues are added to one's body, what's the point?"
Colin felt a headache just thinking about it.
At the same time, he was a little curious, wondering if the eight knightly virtues in this world were related to the eight virtues on earth.
Is it a simple coincidence? Or, is it something made by former employees again?
Unfortunately, Colin was limited by his insufficient understanding of the world and could not guess much.
And at this moment, another piece of information suddenly appeared in his mind.
[Agree to hand over the corpse of the "Fallen Virtue Knight" to get an additional thousand points and a prop with corresponding characteristics. 】
