Mystery: The Undead Don't Die from Linking the Fire

Chapter 9 I'm so kind!

The silver bullet traveled several meters and accurately pierced the clown in the tuxedo's forehead, giving him a sudden burst of inspiration.

Crimson blood gushed from the grotesque hole, dimming the light in his eyes.

The clown in the tuxedo couldn't scream; he could only make a gurgling sound in his throat as he tried to raise his hand to move away from the fatal wound.

However, his shoulder and elbow joints seemed to be filled with glue, making his movements stiff and slow.

Klein remained unmoved, even as crimson blood and even brain matter splattered onto his face.

He pulled the trigger again and again, as if just to confirm whether the other person was completely dead.

Until all six bullets were fired, until the clown's body convulsed and fell to the ground with a dull thud.

Crimson blood flowed slowly from beneath him, staining the ground red.

Apart from that, there was no other movement.

then.

Dressed in a black suit and wearing a top silk hat, Klein coldly shook the cylinder, letting the empty cartridge cases fall to the ground one by one. He then took out the last silver Demon Hunter bullet from his pocket and slowly inserted the slender bullet into the magazine.

The tuxedo clown met his unsurprising end—

With his wildly imaginative mind, there's no way he could possibly survive.

However, this is far from over.

"It's not over yet, everyone be careful!"

Dunn turned his gaze away from the dead clown and looked warily toward the warehouse ahead.

He initially thought their target was only Riel Bieber, but the appearance of the tuxedo clown clearly indicated that the other side had accomplices.

Although it's unclear why Riel Bieber didn't appear until the Joker in the Tuxedo died, that doesn't mean they can let their guard down.

pat!

Yu Jin walked straight through the fire and picked up the box that had been violently struck again.

Then, as before, the group moved toward the warehouse in a fan shape.

They continued until they were close enough to hear the warehouse's heavy breathing clearly.

For some reason, Dunn and the others stopped in their tracks, their heavy breathing making their senses quite uneasy.

boom!

The warehouse door suddenly burst open, sending debris flying in all directions.

Immediately afterwards, something wrapped in rags flew out and landed not far in front of Klein.

It was an arm!

One thing after another flew out.

Klein was already feeling nauseous; had he not seen even more stimulating scenes earlier, he probably would have dry heaved by now.

boom!

Without the slightest hesitation, everyone raised their pistols and aimed them at the warehouse hidden in the darkness ahead.

However, their bullets seemed to disappear into the ocean without a trace.

Until the gray and white color filled the "open" door and occupied their field of vision.

It was a humanoid creature over two meters tall, with all its joints twisted unnaturally in the opposite direction.

One after another, white, broken bones protruded from beneath its skin, and its overall grayish-white surface was full of grooves.

The monster was covered in a grayish-white, rotten, viscous liquid, while its head was relatively normal, with deep nasolabial folds and pale skin.

And this 'normal' head allowed them to recognize the monster's true form—

Riel Bieber.

boom!

Leonard's demon-hunting bullet struck Riel Bieber in the forehead, passing right through and leaving a deep hole.

The grayish-white liquid flowed out, fell to the ground, and wriggled and turned into milky-white, fat maggots.

The monster itself was completely unaffected and pounced straight at the embers!

Or rather, they lunged at the '2-049' in his hand!

"Be careful!"

Dunn and El's expressions changed drastically. Because Ember was holding '2-049' alone, they had kept a distance to avoid being affected and were unable to help each other immediately.

At that moment, Al-Hassen and Leonard Mitchell immediately began to chant poetry simultaneously.

He attempted to slow down Riel Bieber's movements with enough power to put people to sleep.

Just then, 'Ryle Bieber' opened his mouth and let out a shriek that was inaudible to ordinary people:

"what!"

Bang

Klein felt a sharp pain in his head and instinctively touched the tip of his nose, his palm covered in blood.

Then look at the other people around you.

Al and Leonard instantly bled from all seven orifices and collapsed to the ground, utterly powerless to resist.

While Borgia, Dunn, and Lolota were in slightly better condition, their faces still turned pale.

With just one shriek, six extraordinary individuals lost their fighting ability!

Riel Bieber's strength far exceeded their expectations!

In that short time, the monster had already rushed to Ember's side, but now there was no one left to help him.

boom!

Riel Bieber’s twisted joints were violently flung toward the embers.

The swinging joints generated a terrifying gust of wind powerful enough to rip eardrums, leaving no doubt that it could smash a person into mincemeat with a single blow.

However, when faced with the approaching monster, Klein's vision was blurred by blood, and Ember merely raised his left arm.

Snapped!

Ember raised his arm, which was clearly several times smaller than the monster's, and easily blocked the monster's swinging arm as if swatting away a fly. He even had the strength to swing the arm into the air.

The monster's body stiffened under an irresistible force.

Unbeknownst to anyone, the staff in Ember's hand had seamlessly transformed into an ice-blue straight sword, which simultaneously pierced the monster's body.

Parry, then execute.

The thought popped into Klein's mind subconsciously; everything was exactly the same as he remembered.

"What is that?"

Ember withdrew the icy blue straight sword that had been embedded in the monster's body, his brow furrowing slightly.

Irithyll's straight sword seems to have pierced something just now—

In stark contrast to the soft internal organs, it blocked what he was attacking.

Otherwise, that last strike could have killed the opponent outright, instead of only taking away half of their health!

after all.

Although this monster is the initial boss, it is far too weak compared to Gundyr.

"what!"

The monster, finally regaining its senses, let out another shriek.

As a result, Klein, who had just managed to get up and stand up, suffered another headache, and now his ears started bleeding, and he almost completely lost consciousness.

While his low sequence number was partly to blame, the situation was no better for the others.

Even the strongest, Dunn, had completely lost his fighting ability and lay on the ground, his life hanging in the balance.

But the monster, taking advantage of everyone's 'stiffness', once again swung its joints at Yu Jin.

Ember, however, seemed to have been waiting for this moment, and raised his left arm once more.

Snapped!

The monster's arm was flung away again, and the icy blue straight sword in Ember's hand also disappeared.

He reached into the monster's body with his bare hands, and then, as if searching for something, frantically stirred it inside.

It churned its intestines and internal organs together, and a pungent, yellowish-brown blood gushed from the wound.

"Found it!"

Yu Jin clenched his fist tightly, then suddenly pulled it out the next second.

His outstretched palm was clutching an old, worn notebook covered in yellowish-brown bloodstains.

Just as Ember had predicted, it was this very thing that had blocked his attack.

"ah"

The monster suddenly let out a painful, piercing scream, and its body suddenly glowed, as if it were melting.

Yu Jin frowned, and a faint light flashed in the palm of his left hand.

Ultimately, it transformed into a massive molten iron shield that stood in front of him.

boom!

The monster's body suddenly swelled and exploded, turning into countless disgusting, rotting chunks of flesh that spread outwards, fell to the ground, wriggled wildly a few times, and finally returned to calm.

Ember put away the Dragon Slayer Shield, glanced at the blood and flesh scattered on the ground, and then at the six unconscious people a dozen meters away.

He first walked to the monster's corpse and picked up the glittering specks of light from the ground.

He then subconsciously took out a bottle of orange juice with pulp, hesitated for a moment, and then put it back.

Before we find a campfire, we need to use the orange juice sparingly, as each use is one less.

So he took out the Yorshka Bell and prepared to unleash a miracle.

But after hesitating for a moment, Yu Jin glanced again at the few people lying unconscious on the ground.

Although he was seriously injured, judging from the length of his health bar, he shouldn't die.

Therefore, performing miracles is somewhat of a luxury.

Ok.

Showing a combat technique as a token gesture is enough.

Although Ember always carries the Fool's Weapon, it can slowly restore his Focus.

But until a campfire is found, it's best to save money wherever possible.

"Ring ring!"

Ember gently shook the holy bell, and a small golden magic circle appeared beneath his feet.

At the same time, Klein and the others' health bars began to rise at a visible rate.
