Lord of Cinder in American Comics

What is a bank?

Ash, having vented her frustrations to a brick wall, didn't explain to the gunslinger what a bank was. She had originally planned to find someone to take down the man in black.

It turned out that the enemy team was just staying near the fountain, dealing damage. Meanwhile, our ADC and support were hiding in the river, too afraid to even return home. In the end, they ran to another game to get reinforcements.

Ash, feeling like she was talking to a brick wall, changed the subject and asked, "What does the enemy look like?"

"All I know is that the man in black is a sorcerer who can stop people from breathing with his words. That's how my father died at his hands. As for his men, they are basically modified slaves who can be eliminated with bullets."

Roland reluctantly recalled the day his father died at the hands of the men in black, which caused him to become lost in his memories.

A clear bell rang in Roland's ears. When Roland came to his senses, he found that Ash was holding a milky white holy bell with gold patterns and shaking it in his ear.

"A soldier shouldn't be preoccupied with memories. He should charge forward and finish off the enemy."

Ash's advice only made Roland more troubled. Roland said somewhat dejectedly, "I once fired at the man in black, and he blocked all the bullets with his bare hands."

Even the gun I inherited from my father couldn't harm him in the slightest.

Gunslingers, as special figures in Middle-earth, enjoy the respect of everyone, and their responsibility is to maintain the balance of the world.

Gunslingers have a unique training and inheritance method, usually passed down from father to son. There are only two situations in which a father passes on his weapon to his child: either the child becomes a truly capable gunslinger, or, like Roland, he inherits his deceased father's weapon.

The inherited weapon possessed even greater destructive power; even such a professional weapon could not harm the man in black, so it's no wonder Roland became frustrated.

The sky suddenly froze completely, and those standing on the ground could see every gap between the clouds. From the ground, the clouds began to transform into an eerie scene shimmering with red light.

The higher you go, the darker the color becomes, until finally a black pillar of light, stretching from heaven to earth, stands before Ash.

At that moment, a huge, flaming meteorite, which had been shot from an unknown location, crashed into the black pillar of light, causing a violent tremor that made everyone on the island lose their footing.

The meteorite shattered into burning rocks of all sizes, falling toward the ground. Roland kept dodging the rocks, shouting, "This is the attack of the man in black! He's using children with spiritual power to keep attacking the Dark Tower. The Dark Tower can't withstand many more attacks!"

Just as they were talking, another meteorite struck the black pillar of light, this time shattering it.

Cracks began to spread rapidly outward from the impact site of the meteorite, eventually covering the entire beam of light before shattering.

A colossal tower appeared before everyone present. This tower was located in the sea not far from the island, and its massive size required the islanders to turn their necks to see its entirety.

The middle part of the tower is already hidden in the clouds, and ordinary people cannot see the top of the tower at all.

With the appearance of the Dark Tower, the tornadoes in the sky disappeared.

The temperature gradually dropped, and people's breath was now visible as a white mist.

Roland couldn't help but shudder and said, "The man in black is preparing to freeze the ocean and send his army to capture Jack."

The continuously decreasing temperature caused the soldiers around to shiver, and some kept putting their hands to their mouths to warm their frozen hands.

Ash then shook the holy bell, and the sound of the bell reached the ears of every warrior present. In the eyes of all the warriors, Ash was seen kneeling on the ground, praying.

Then Ash stood up, holding the Holy Bell high. From him, a warm flame burst forth, forming a spiraling firestorm that spread to everyone present.

[Sunlight Healing: A miracle specially taught to the saintesses who serve the Sun Princess. It can restore a large amount of health to those around them. Beloved by all things, Gwynethia has bestowed this miraculous blessing upon many warriors.]

All the warriors illuminated by the flames felt the warmth of the fire, and the cold outside had no effect on them whatsoever.

Cheers erupted, and the soldiers regained their spirits, ready to face the upcoming battle.

If you looked down from the sky at this moment, the sea surface centered on the Dark Tower would freeze into ice, and a white area would begin to expand outward, first reaching Brokeland Island, and then spreading further away.

'Roar... Awooo~~'

A voice that didn't belong to a human came closer and closer, and the gunners at the machine gun position had their fingers on the trigger.

Dark shadows began to flash through the distant woods, and then one of them leaped into the air and pounced on the group.

With quick reflexes and sharp eyes, Gunslinger Roland drew his revolver and fired two bullets into the shadowy figure, causing it to fall from the sky and land in front of the people.

The shadowy figure was dressed in human clothing, but its limbs were those of a reptile, and its head was deformed, with most of it resembling a lizard, except for a small portion next to its left eye that still showed signs of human skin.

As the first orc fell, more strange creatures rushed out of the forest.

One firing position after another began firing, with several general-purpose machine guns spraying bullets outwards to block the monster's attack.

Under the onslaught of the orcs, some of the faster runners were less than a hundred meters from the position. They crawled on all fours, dodging bullets as they rushed towards the group.

At this moment, the gunslinger came in handy. He held two revolvers, crossed his hands, and assumed a shooting stance, quickly emptying the bullets in his gun.

The moment the hands were uncrossed, the two guns slightly collided, ejecting the revolver's magazine.

He slid the gun to his waist in an instant, and a new magazine was loaded into the gun, and he continued firing.

The gunslinger and the soldiers worked seamlessly together, each finding their proper position. The soldiers provided fire support to clear out distant enemies, while the gunslinger used precise fire to eliminate any stragglers.

After the orcs launched their initial attack, they began frantically circling the position, their howls carrying far and attracting even more monsters.

The orcs moved swiftly, using the forest as cover, and began to move towards the rear of the position and other places.

Clearly, the orcs were estimating the extent of their position and pinpointing the location of their target, Jack.

The battlefield fell into an eerie calm.

## Chapter Sixty-Four: Constantine's Actions

On the Brooklyn Bridge, Constantine watched as the distant black beam of light was struck by a meteorite, a sight witnessed by all of New York.

The nation on wheels inevitably experienced a surge in travel, and inevitably got stuck in traffic. It wasn't until those fragmented meteorites were hurtling towards them that they thought to look for buildings to take shelter.

Sensing someone approaching from behind, Constantine said, "Hey girl, I advise you to put down your weapon and run for your life."

Natasha emerged from behind the doorway, still holding her Beretta BU9 pistol, and said to Constantine, "Where are my teammates?"

Nodding at the distant black pillar of light, Constantine said dismissively, "They fled for their own lives."

Thinking it was all Constantine's doing, Natasha was about to shoot the guy in front of her to vent her anger when she saw the second meteorite hit the black pillar of light.

Somewhat bewildered and incredulous, Natasha asked in astonishment, "What is that?"

Putting down his finished cigarette, Constantine lit another one, took a deep drag, and said calmly, "It's just that someone wants to destroy the world."

Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Bridge was completely jammed, with people driving frantically toward New Jersey.

Constantine took a deep drag, exhaled the smoke, and pulled out a small, square wooden box. Inside the box was some gray powder.

He held the box above his head and swung it down. The powder formed four afterimages in the direction it was thrown, followed by pale blue specks of light appearing within them. Finally, four enormous dire wolves materialized.

[Wolf Ashes: Wolves who once guarded Fran together, even in death, are willing to become the strength of their teammates. They can not only assist in killing enemies but also lead you out of danger in times of crisis. Wolves inherited from the old wolves of Fran are willing to help every warrior who fought alongside them against the abyss.]

Mounting a dire wolf, Constantine gripped the wolf's neck fur, preparing to head towards the Dark Tower.

Unexpectedly, Natasha also caught a dire wolf and mounted it.

"Little girl, you're going to die over there, or you're escaping to the other side."

However, Constantine's taunts had no effect whatsoever; instead, Natasha gripped the dire wolf's fur even tighter.

"Since you want to die, then sit down properly."

After saying that, Constantine spurred the dire wolves, and the four wolves transformed into wisps of white breeze, weaving through the crowds and traffic.

The distance to Brokeland Island was still several dozen kilometers, which was not a problem for the wolves.

The dire wolves howled and leaped swiftly through the traffic using the car roof. They even jumped over obstacles that weren't too high.

The speed of the galloping wolf exceeded that of ordinary vehicles. The force of the wind pressure forced Natasha to lower her body, hide on the wolf's back, and hold tightly to its fur to avoid being thrown off.

The people stuck in the road, yelling and cursing, only saw four plumes of white smoke pass by them. Thinking they were seeing things, they rubbed their eyes and continued yelling and cursing at the people stuck in the traffic ahead.

The situation became increasingly chaotic as they moved further east on Long Island, with some people frantically running and fleeing in the direction Constantine had come from.

Soon, Constantine saw what was chasing them. The monsters that had been around the Dark Tower were now able to cross the frozen sea and reach land.

Constantine instinctively ordered the dire wolves to slow down. The two unmanned dire wolves, however, continued charging forward, frantically tearing at the monsters in their path.

Faced with monsters she had never seen before, Natasha also pulled out her pistol and fired at the monsters chasing after the crowd.

However, given that her pistol was only good for killing people, she couldn't kill a single monster even after emptying a magazine.

Just as the monster, riddled with bullets, was about to pounce on the people in front of it, a flying arrow gleaming with blue light struck it.

The monster struck by the blue arrow quickly lost its vital signs and collapsed to the ground.

Natasha followed the trajectory of the arrow and saw Constantine holding the fur behind the dire wolf's neck with one hand and waving a dark staff with the other.

Each time the staff is swung, a blue arrow flies out from the staff and kills a monster.

[Farland Short Arrow: A "soul arrow" cast independently by the mages of the Farland Undead Legion. It can fire short arrows of souls. Originally a well-known Farland spell, it is easy to learn and has been studied by many.]

Led by the dire wolf, Constantine charged into the monsters, and with a constant barrage of short arrows, the monsters surrendered their souls one by one.

And so, following Constantine and the dire wolves' charge, Natasha also made her way to the eastern part of Long Island.

Just hours ago, it was Fulbler's command post, but now it has become a battlefield. Monsters have crossed the ice and arrived here, and agents everywhere are firing their weapons at wave after wave of monsters.

The agents in Fulbora used vehicles to build a defensive line and fired at the monster horde outside from behind obstacles. Although they held off most of the monsters, some still managed to slip away from the sides of the position and rush into the rear, into the depths of Long Island.

Whenever a monster breaks through the defenses and rushes into the position, a figure in a suit always appears in front of the monster, and then uses a steel pipe that he has taken from somewhere to smash the monster's head open.

The two dire wolves set off first and rushed into the front lines of the defense of Fulbora before Constantine arrived.

They leaped up, crossed the obstacles using vehicles as cover, and charged into the monster horde, tearing and biting.

Constantine, riding his dire wolf, leaped onto a wrecked truck at the front, revealing the black hair wrapped around his wrist as he raised his hand.

A dark red flame appeared in Constantine's hand, and he then threw the fireball into the monster horde.

The fireball exploded as soon as it touched the ground, scattering even more tiny fireballs that ignited the surrounding monsters.

As the fireball exploded, lava appeared on the ground where it struck, engulfing the monsters that followed.

[Chaotic Fireball: A chaotic fire technique from Izaris, the land of sorcery. It allows the user to throw chaotic fireballs. The chaotic flames can melt rock, and lava will temporarily form where they are hit. Legend has it that the witches of Izaris created the chaotic flames, which completely engulfed their homeland.]

As Constantine continued to hurl chaotic fireballs, a defensive line constructed of lava appeared before Foborough's position.

The monsters that tried to wade through the lava were swallowed up one by one, while those that tried to leap over were shot dead by the agents behind them.

Having completed the above steps, Constantine did not linger, and the four-headed dire wolf headed towards the Dark Tower.

At this moment, Davelin breathed a slight sigh of relief and put down the steel pipe in his hand. Then he immediately started making phone calls again.

"General, where is the army I need? The civilians are moving faster than us."
