Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 473 Immunity
Those who emerged from the shadows were naturally the so-called Apostles of Calamity, or Dark Dwellers. Some served Engel Korath, some worshipped the Mother Goddess Shab Nicholas, and some were lower-ranking servant races, belonging to the servants kept by the vampires.

Approaching Rebecca and Enid were Engel Korath's followers and their retinue, bound by the curse unleashed by Imnar on the eve of his exile—an endless war between the two sides' followers.

In their eyes, Rebecca and Enid belong to Milo's camp. Regardless of whether there is a relationship between believer and worshipped, they should be included in the curse and thus become their mortal enemies.

……

In the jungle, Rebecca could vaguely see those blurry figures approaching her.

Her heart was racing, and her breathing was quickening.

For some reason, nearly two years ago, when she faced the undead servants of the Old Ones as a mortal, she felt no fear or panic whatsoever. At that time, she was absolutely certain that she could severely injure her opponent, handcuff him, and bring him back to the law enforcement office to face legal punishment.

On the contrary, after her abilities and senses were significantly enhanced and she became a visionary, she developed a strong sense of fear when facing these unknown beings.

Despite Rebecca's efforts to control herself, she could not maintain a firm grip on the gun.

On the contrary, Enid, who was standing to the side, remained extremely calm.

Without batting an eye, she deftly released the safety of the revolver, snapped off the hammer, and pointed the barrel at the figures approaching in the distance, shouting:

"Stay where you are. I won't repeat myself."

His voice was strong and resonant, full of energy.

She really didn't seem flustered at all.

...

Rebecca glanced sideways; she and Enid were back to back, and she could clearly hear how steady the pulse in Enid's body was.

Despite having a hundred questions in her mind, Rebecca tried her best to shift her attention to the shadows approaching her.

For some reason, she just couldn't calm herself down, so much so that she couldn't focus her gaze on the sights of the pistol.

However, the figures in the bushes had already revealed their scythe-like claws.

Enid was in a state of unprecedented struggle.

...

Suddenly, in a split second, all the sounds around them stopped, including the roar of the battlefield behind them, the various bizarre dish names from Yan, and Enid behind them. Everything came to a standstill.

Rebecca's own uncontrollable heartbeat also froze; the only thing that could still "move" was her own thoughts.

Immediately afterwards, Milo's voice drifted into Rebecca's ears:

"Relax~ What are you panicking about?"

Rebecca was trying to focus her gaze on the shadowy figures when she suddenly realized that their movements had also completely stopped. Turning her head, she found that they were surrounded by a grayish-white mist, while Milo stood calmly beside her and Enid.

"This is……"

Rebecca frowned. She turned to look at the center of the battlefield and saw another Milo standing there, still in the same position as when he crushed the vampire's head with his foot. That Milo wouldn't move.

Turning her head again, Milo was staring wide-eyed, waiting for her response.

Rebecca was stunned for several seconds before she suddenly realized, "This...this is the consciousness world? Domain that Nero spoke to you about before he died on the night of the hunt?"

She glimpsed Nero's perspective from the dead, and what impressed her most was the scene where Nero was on the verge of losing himself and was awakened by Milo's incoherent rant. At that time, Milo's physical body and Monquia were being suppressed by the projection of the evil god, but on a conscious level, Milo was able to "distract" himself and have a conversation with Nero, thus successfully waking him up. Of course, this also led to Nero's eventual suicide.

...

"Dream Domain, um... something like that. I don't have the habit of naming these skills, but you can probably understand what it is."

Milo nodded, then reached out and took the flintlock musket from Rebecca's hand and tossed it aside.

He then drew a revolver and a combination bladed weapon from her waist, placing them in her left hands, while muttering to himself:

"At this point, don't think about disposable firearms; switch to some high-performance weapons."

After handing the revolver to Rebecca, he took her hand and helped her lift the gun to aim at the shadowy figure in the jungle ahead, then helped her break off the hammer mechanism.

The whole sequence of actions reminded Rebecca of the scene when Nero taught her how to shoot firearms, which was the first time she had ever touched one.

But instead of giving a stern and comprehensive explanation of all the techniques for using firearms like Nero would a father, Milo helped her point the gun at the target's shadow and then whispered in her ear:

“Listen, I can take away your fear directly, but you will become a useless puppet, and then everything I said to you before will have been in vain... Don’t look at me, look at your target.”

Milo released Rebecca's grip on the gun, then lightly tapped the bolt with his finger.

The hammer mechanism of the revolver instantly glowed with a scorching dark red light, as if the parts had just been taken out of the forge and had not yet cooled down. "Like this, close your eyes first, hmm, remember this feeling, remember that slightly hot feeling."

"Yes, once you realize how destructive you are, the fear will temporarily hide away."

His tone was casual in every way, but every word he spoke penetrated Rebecca's heart, completely calming her restless mind.

...

"Okay, now..."

"Open your eyes."

As soon as Milo finished speaking, Rebecca opened her eyes.

This time, the human figure silhouetted against the dappled shadows of the trees was crystal clear in her vision.

Her hands stopped trembling, and the gun sight remained firmly fixed on the target's torso without the slightest movement.

...

Boom! !
bang bang bang! ! !
A crisp gunshot rang out from the jungle.

And after the chambers were emptied.

Rebecca suddenly noticed that the combination blade of the strange weapon that Milo had placed in her other hand was also glowing red-hot as if it had been scorched.

She only glanced at it once more.

Then he grabbed Enid from behind and pressed her down:
"Stay here and don't move."

After saying that, he dashed through the jungle like a ghost.

Enid could only see a dark silhouette, with two dark red flames trailing long, narrow paths through the jungle, followed by a series of horrifying screams.

……

...

In the distance, at the heart of the battlefield beneath the cemetery.

Milo, with his hands in his trench coat pockets, listened to the sounds of killing coming from the direction of the jungle, a slight smile playing on his lips as he sighed:
"You learn really fast."

Rebecca was going crazy in the woods.

Milo shrugged again: "Of course, it could also be because I taught well."

In short, he knew Rebecca's situation inside and out. Almost everything she had gone through from being an ordinary human to becoming a Visionary was related to Milo.

In a sense, the help Milo is now providing to her is roughly equivalent to the guidance the Red Witch gave Milo back then, and Milo is not as eccentric and irresponsible as the Red Witch.

"What a lucky guy! He's already met a kind-hearted mentor in the Shadow Sequence right after starting out... Speaking of which, the Scarlet Witch has been missing for so long, I wonder if she's starved to death somewhere... And what's with Enid?"

In fact, he knew everything about Rebecca's situation.

But Enid really didn't understand.

The reason why the city remained calm even after being trampled by nearly a hundred black goat calves was naturally because Milo had captivated everyone, including the law enforcement team and the affected residents.

Milo had no idea how Enid had "evaded" the dream's allure.

Before this, Milo only knew that Yan had once used the method of "evading responsibility" to avoid being triggered by Geragi's dream. This absurd ability, which can be understood as a personality defect, is certainly not something that ordinary people can possess.

He hadn't expected that Enid would also be immune to Dream Attraction.

And it sounds like she still sees the world she's in as a dream.

She believed she was in a dream, so she felt no fear of anything bizarre or fantastical. In other words, her sanity level remained stable, even more so than Rebecca's, who was born with psychic abilities.

What the hell is this?

……

Of course, this is not a problem we need to worry about right now.

Because the so-called divine punishment and reckoning seem to have already begun to show signs.
