Chapter 15: If Nothing Unexpected Happens...
Unsettled thoughts...
Suddenly, a loud noise!
Sherlock watched as the familiar window of the apartment in front of him shattered with a thunderous crash. Half of the wall collapsed along with it, accompanied by the buzzing sound of countless spider threads snapping. A hairy, gigantic spider flew backward from the second floor, then miserably crashed onto the street.
And within its abdomen, a small old man could be seen, huddled in pain, with blood flowing from the jagged gaps in his teeth. Thankfully, he was protected by the webbing, or that impact alone would have cost him half of his life.
As for Catherine, her whereabouts were unknown...
No time to dwell on that. In that instant!
"Prepare for combat!!!"
A resounding roar, amplified for all the surrounding soldiers to hear. Even before the command was given, all the exoskeletons had already emitted a tremendous hum, their steam turbines entering full throttle, the scorching airflow trembling erratically through their overheated exhaust pipes.
As if responding to this grand welcome, a figure suddenly leaped high from behind the broken wall on the second floor, viciously descending upon the crowd!
Accompanying the descent was a grotesque demon, over three meters long!
No one knew how to name such a creature. Even before it touched the ground, its enormous fangs had reached their limit in mid-air, ruthlessly stabbing into the steel wall formed by the armored knights!
*Bang* *Bang*
Several strange muffled sounds, as if blades rapidly piercing a sealed can. The moment the demon landed, it began frantically swinging its nauseating head, its teeth hooked into the intestines of several Church guards, sending their armor flying.
Minister Bader's body also landed with a crash, his robe billowing in the night wind. His already burly figure seemed to have grown even larger, and he immediately grabbed the nearest guard, his massive fingers clutching the helmet and pulling forcefully.
The helmet was torn off directly, revealing a severed half-head inside!
All of this happened in an instant... The formidable steel battalion that had given such a great sense of security had suddenly, without warning, become the target of a brutal massacre.
So at this moment, he disregarded the attacks of the guards around him and dashed toward the other side of the street!
His frenzied steps left behind shallow craters...
That was
where the old priest was!
Undoubtedly, this was the correct decision in such a situation, as in battles of this level, victory or defeat could only be determined by the covenanters...
Within a matter of meters, he arrived instantly, and the demon he had summoned, like a bloody war machine, created an extremely gruesome gap within the crowd.
At this moment, the old priest and the spider had just recovered from the previous encounter... Unfortunately, this spider's ability was to connect unsuspecting targets with its threads, creating illusions. While it was highly effective, its direct combat capabilities were weak, and when faced with Minister Bader's covenant demon, skilled in killing, it was utterly defenseless.
However, the old priest couldn't just wait to be killed, so the spider struggled to climb to its feet. Countless threads sprayed from its disproportionate abdomen, pierced through some broken metal debris, and adhered to the giant body of another demon. More and more threads, tighter and tighter, the eight sharp legs trembled madly, clashing directly against the crimson scales. An eerie and grating screech echoed through the night sky.
Life and death... in an instant...
The spider desperately blocked the demon twice its size but couldn't hold back its summoner any longer.
Minister Bader had already arrived in front of the old priest!
He wasn't someone who liked to waste words. His blood-drenched palm opened and came down on the old man's head.
The abilities of covenanters mainly came from the demons they symbiotically bonded with, which meant that the old priest's physical qualities were likely not impressive. With this powerful slap, his head would most likely turn into a pile of exploded flesh.
Fortunately... Catherine, who had disappeared earlier, finally made her move.
A black light quietly appeared on Minister Bader's chest...
If nothing unexpected happens, at this moment, this battle has already reached its end...
