"Hoo…Hoo…"
Joseph staggered and held onto the wall, took a deep breath, and finally woke up in the cold wind and rain.
The surrounding streets were deserted. The accumulated water in the marginal areas had already overflowed the sidewalks, and the ripples were reflected in the lanterns hanging in front of the nearby shops, like a rising river.
Continuous heavy rain warnings have caused nearly one-tenth of the ordinary people in the upper city of Nokin to evacuate to safe areas.
About thirty-two streets have become deserted alleys.
This was largely due to the secret operation and command of the Mystery Tower .
Because those foolish hunters brought a magic mirror egg into the city of Nogin , and now internal strife has occurred, causing the magic mirror egg to disappear , which has aroused the nerves of everyone in the city of Nogin.
Perhaps in the near future, an unknown dream beast will roar out from the cracks in dreams, bringing blood and fire.
The pain in my brain gradually faded away, and the whispers in my ears also disappeared.
He looked at his hands and gave a wry smile.
In addition to the loss of his right arm and the hidden injuries that broke out in his body, there is another important reason for the retirement of the Glorious Knight Joseph.
He was once the wielder of the magic sword Kendra.
That strange ancient sword carries a maddening curse because of the madness and death of its first owner .
Only an extremely powerful and righteous knight, one with perfect spirit and will, can control this curse.
Joseph in the past was such a powerful knight.
But now he is old and disabled.
Already lost such qualification.
But the next successor of the magic sword has not yet been found, but he has already begun to suffer the backlash of the sword.
Every night late at night, he could always see huge shadows roaming in the city and hear Kendara's deep, crazy whispers, which had become more and more intense recently.
He was deeply tortured.
…
In front of a towering abandoned church.
Ji Zhixu held a cane, his black windbreaker rustling as he looked up at the round glazed window of the church, where flames were shooting up into the sky.
Shouts and cries of killing continued to be heard, and the chaotic ether fluctuations filled the entire area with a bloody atmosphere like a carnival, and glass windows shattered one after another.
Flashing fragments, mixed with pieces of viscera and blood, splattered against the vine-covered walls of the church.
The ground was littered with corpses, which were rapidly carbonizing and turning into ashes.
Behind her, standing silently were her most loyal subordinates.
Kay, Max, and Ryan.
As the second leader of the second largest hunter organization "White Wolf", Ji Zhixu's direct subordinates certainly had more than just these three people.
But she was betrayed unforgivably and returned again, and the rest of the people were of course turned into corpses.
The magic mirror egg, in its larval state before hatching, has the ability to seduce people's minds, causing them to have evil thoughts and the desire to possess it.
When the first person accidentally looks directly at it, things get out of control.
Now, this heavy rain in Nokin has become a battlefield for hunters.
Kai and Max were her original subordinates and also her father's men.
His spirit had long been branded with runes by the white wizard supported by his family, so he was able to maintain his sanity despite being eroded by the magic mirror egg.
Ryan surrendered not long ago and was branded voluntarily. In the hunter organization "White Wolf", he is a subordinate of the first leader, Chris.
As for the reason for surrender, it is also very simple.
Because this guy witnessed Ji Zhixu 's "beastly" posture in battle after his return, his brutal means, his determination for revenge, and the piles of corpses behind him.
"Miss, it has been confirmed that the Magic Mirror Egg is in the hands of Herlis. He has become a complete madman. After taking the Magic Mirror Egg away, he launched a massacre within the Hunter Organization."
Kai whispered beside him.
Known as the "Black Rose", she is tall and beautiful, with black lip gloss on her lips and a row of earrings on her ears.
Wearing a women's shirt, tight trousers and high-top Martin boots, she looks like an ordinary fashion girl.
However, the serrated long knife still dripping blood in her hand and the blood spatters all over her body betray her danger.
is not only a hunter who hunts dream beasts , but also a murderer.
She looked towards the church with a little concern: "I'm afraid our people are not strong enough. Heris has already joined forces with the third leader Kaji. I'm afraid this attack will end in vain."
Max nodded and said, "Herris is very powerful, the closest to the panic level among the White Wolves. Although Kaji is slightly weaker, most of the people in the organization can be said to be trained by him. Although Herris's madness makes many people want to defect, there are still many people who join them. Our chances of winning are very small."
Ryan glanced at Ji Zhixu with a little fear, and said with a flattering smile: "Although the leader... no, Chris and the others are very strong, the boss is not bad either!"
"He is only close to the panic level, but the boss is the real panic level! As long as she transforms into a beast, people like Heris and Kaji will be easily captured by the sword!"
Although he didn't know Ji Zhixu's specific rank, in short, it would never be wrong to flatter someone.
He didn't know how any hunter could remain sane in a highly bestial state, but being strong is being strong. He admitted that he was just a fence-sitter. He would follow whoever was strong. The strong prey on the weak, and this was the truth of the world.
Of course, it would be even better if he could also get a way to control the filthy blood.
"Swish!"
Ji Zhixu threw away his cane, and sharp blades spun out: "There is no turning back for hunters."
"Let's go in. This will be the final battle."
This abandoned church was built by the Plague Church.
The Plague Church was once the first church, but later the Church of Truth rose rapidly and squeezed out its position, and a large number of churches were abandoned.
The battle in the church was drawing to a close, and the remains of the hunters were scattered everywhere.
Ji Zhixu killed the last blocker and stepped into the hall.
Standing under the glazed window with wave patterns painted on it was none other than Kaki, the third leader of the White Wolf.
He was a tall and thin man, wearing a black priest-like robe, with a long sickle standing behind him. He lowered his head as if praying. The dim light from outside was reflected through the glazed windows into colorful ripples and fell on him.
Rainwater leaked in from the dilapidated ceiling, dripping onto the ground and forming puddles.
"Where's Herris?"
Kai asked.
"Huh..." Kaki's head moved and made a strange bubbling sound.
"wrong!"
Ji Zhixu's pupils shrank, and he rushed forward in two steps, put his hand on the man's shoulder and pushed him.
Kaki's neck tilted back, revealing a twisted and painful face.
There was a bloody cut on his neck.
Blood continued to drip onto the ground.
Everyone's face changed suddenly.
The long sickle handle was not carried on his back, but pierced through his body, nailing him to the floor of the church.
"Injection! Quick!"
"yes!"
Max quickly handed over the spare injection of filthy blood. Ji Zhixu reached out to take it and injected it into Kaki's heart.
The large amount of filthy blood took effect quickly , and the wound on Kaki's neck squirmed and grew, and healed in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, his eyes rolled back and forth, and finally turned into beast pupils .
"Hehe…"
The man's teeth and nails lengthened, his hair grew rapidly, and he roared in pain.
"Answer me! Where is Chris ? Did he take the magic mirror egg away?!" Ji Zhixu shouted, staring into his eyes.
Kaki nodded, opened his mouth wide, and chuckled, his voice as soft as a mosquito: "He... will come..."
His eyes suddenly became blurred and fixed.
Hair like dead branches grew out from his internal organs, then drilled into them, finally taking away the remaining life from him.
"Damn it!"
Ji Zhixu punched the wall and looked at the messy hall.
Kai whispered, "I'll start a search right away."
Max suggested, "Miss, why don't you go ask Mr. Haywood? As a wizard supported by the family, I'm sure he won't refuse to help."
"No."
"You guys continue the search." Ji Zhixu let out a long sigh: "Ryan, come with me."
Ryan was a little nervous: "Where to go?"
"Twenty-third Street."
