Mystery: I, the Hermit, am too eager to improve

Chapter 49 A Forced Kill of Sirius!

"Throat!"

Roy muttered something under his breath, then lunged forward, his dagger flashing like lightning as he slashed at his opponent—

He couldn't look directly at it, but...

You must attack to prevent the opponent from freely using their abilities.

Sirius let out a low growl.

Roy couldn't understand it, but he could vaguely make out that it sounded a bit like Russian, only the accent was off by some unknown reason.

of course.

Even if it's authentic Russian, he still can't understand it.

"Her flowers bloomed all night until dawn."

"But when daylight opened its eyes."

"I was so ashamed of being stared at that moment that I had nowhere to hide."

She withered and died in a fit of dizziness.

As soon as he finished speaking, Sirius stopped moving, as if he had instantly lost the will to live.

He "wilted".

Frye and Luo Yao rallied their spirits and fired their guns at each other's throats.

Bang!

The gunshot sent a jolt through the air.

Sirius's eyes were filled with madness, and his mouth opened, spurting blood like a fountain.

suddenly.

boom!

The blood exploded, forming a blood shield that blocked the bullets, and the invisible restraints were instantly released.

but.

Roy had already moved close to him.

His legs moved like whips, sweeping across the lower body.

No matter how much Sirius improves, he is still an old man in his fifties, and his physical strength and stamina cannot be too high.

but.

This blood magic shouldn't be a power possessed by a Sequence 8, right?

Roy took it to heart.

Retracting one's strength by three-tenths allows for flexible changes in tactics.

Sirius didn't fight him head-on; instead, he stepped back and retreated into the house.

Bang bang bang!

Fry fired repeatedly.

The demon-hunting bullet, imbued with spiritual power, tore through the blood shield, but the blood slowed its speed, diminishing its suddenness and rendering it only able to injure, not kill, its target.

The same goes for Leonard's bullets.

Roy's head was throbbing with pain.

but.

He knew he must not enter the mysterious temple in front of the other party.

Then——

The only way is...

Roy stepped forward, drew his dagger, and with his other hand, hidden in Sirius's blind spot, took a small bag from under his belt.

Leonard noticed the subtle movement.

He instantly understood how to cooperate.

He drew his dagger.

Melee!

Only by getting close can you possibly kill the other party.

"Don't look directly at him! There might be danger."

Roy shouted a reminder.

Everyone paused for a moment, then quickly moved aside.

The next moment, Roy suddenly stopped in his tracks, flicked the safety pin on the flashbang grenade with his spiritually enhanced fingers, and then threw it forward.

A blinding light shone forth.

The room was a blinding white, with shrapnel flying everywhere.

The roars and babbling became even more intense, almost as if they came from two people rather than one; it was more as if Sirius was using some kind of magic to amplify what he heard.

Roy rolled to the ground and landed on the steps behind him.

It is most effective against the undead, but that doesn't mean it won't harm ordinary people, including itself, which may also be injured.

Fortunately, he was fast enough.

Leonard, hiding in a nearby room, was unaffected, but...

He saw the owl fly back.

This is a dangerous sign!

Leonard knew he could no longer delay, so he rushed out of his hiding place and charged at Sirius with his knife.

however.

Before him, there was someone who was faster.

With the addition of his fighting dagger, Roy was even faster than before, and in the blink of an eye, he was back in his previous position.

Sirius struggled to his feet, muttering and roaring as he attacked him frantically.

Roy's forehead veins bulged, flesh buds grew on his body, and his eyes shone with a purple light.

but.

His speed did not decrease in the slightest.

Two breaths.

Roy rushed in front of Sirius.

Sirius seemed to be using some kind of flesh magic, causing the surrounding corpses to float into the air.

but.

The blood and bones that were originally arranged around the area were destroyed by the flashbang grenades, and seemed to be affected to some extent, causing their effectiveness and speed to be greatly reduced.

Before they could even assemble into a spell, Roy's dagger flashed like lightning, roughly slicing through the opponent's throat—

He couldn't look the other person in the eye, so he could only make a rough judgment.

It turns out.

Roy's touch was perfect.

The fighting dagger successfully sliced ​​through the throat, severing the opponent's throat and causing a momentary paralysis.

The roar disappeared.

"Luo Yao!"

Frye tossed the Demon Hunter pistol to Luo Yao.

Her position was better suited for firing!

Luo Yao nodded, caught the pistol, and quickly raised his hand and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

The demon-hunting bullet flew out swiftly, hitting the opponent's forehead with pinpoint accuracy.

The babbling stopped.

Roy breathed a sigh of relief.

"Be careful!"

He glanced at him out of the corner of his eye—

Sirius was still alive and was reaching out to grab him.

Roy scrambled backward.

He looked disheveled, but he did manage to dodge the attack, just like Hyde before him.

At that moment, Leonard arrived, first firing a gun with his left hand, then stabbing Sirius in the heart with a knife in his right.

Three fatal wounds.

Then, Leonard threw out a talisman.

Sleeping Spell!

A look of shock and weariness flashed across Sirius's eyes before he fell into a brief slumber.

The next second, he opened his eyes, but he was completely dead!

Roy was panting heavily.

The listener who is being manipulated is truly insane and terrifying to the extreme.

"withdraw!"

He also saw the owl.

This shows that—

The guy from the Halls Club is already coming this way.

and.

Even though Sirius is dead, the divine influence and corruption of the true creator still remain. It is terrifying and dangerous, and may very well cause endless chaos in the surrounding area.

Roy and his group quickly retreated.

The owl was about to take flight when it suddenly spotted the items on the corpse. It swooped down, grabbed a dark red ear, and flew out the window.

A dark shadow followed from the shadows below, but upon seeing this, it quickly disappeared into the shadows.

Roy and the others escaped outside.

Leonard immediately produced his badge and credentials.

"I am an inspector from the Tingen Police Station. There is a bomb inside the house. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to approach the scene!"

Those who had surrounded the area were terrified upon hearing the bomb and fled back the way they came.

Before long, only the four of them remained around.

Roy glanced around, then subtly shifted his position, avoiding the shadows cast by the slanting rays of the sun and placing himself entirely in the sunlight.

Just now, part of his latent memory was activated—

Sequence 7 of the Mystic Path is called the Hermit. Those of this sequence can blend into the shadows to stalk or assassinate others.

He glanced around.

Without the influence of a true creator, Roy could observe freely.

then.

He saw a remnant of spirituality.

"Someone used to stay here, then went upstairs, and now they've disappeared."

Roy whispered.

Leonard felt both terrible and relieved after hearing this.

Fortunately, Roy acted decisively, but the other party arrived a step too late.

The problem is...

Despite being an extraordinary individual about to advance to Sequence 7, he failed to play a crucial role in this battle.

Their abilities and judgment are both too weak!

Leonard gritted his teeth, then exhaled and said, "At least we killed Sirius, and Hynas was eaten by Sirius himself. We can barely consider this a success."

That's what he said, but his clenched fists showed that he wasn't as calm as he claimed.

He still couldn't convince himself.

The hidden extraordinary individual is the true high-ranking member of the Aurora Society, while Sirius is more like a terrifying bomb.

They were human bombs created specifically to target the night watchmen.

"Roy, your gun."

Luo Yao handed the Demon Hunter pistol to Roy.

The two then apologized, saying, "We are very sorry that we were unable to help."

"The other party is special, so it's normal that you can't do anything about it."

Roy comforted them, "You should rest for a while after you go back, let your mind recover and stabilize first, and then think of ways to stabilize your mind and body and expel the pollution."

They were only Sequence 9, and not powerful spiritual beings like esoteric practitioners or diviners, so they were slightly mentally polluted by the incoherent ramblings and roars.

"Yeah, you too."

The two responded in a low voice.

Leonard opened his mouth, but ultimately remained silent.

If the old man were here, he could have gotten him to clean up the pollution, but the old man hasn't responded since just now.

He can't help.
