Night began to fall. Although there was a moon, the dark clouds in the sky were just like the terrible demonic haze that weighed on the hearts of countless residents in this city, making tonight's night look particularly cold and dark.
And of course, when it gets dark, the city's curfew also begins.
Due to the rampant demons, several people have had their internal organs eaten this week alone, with an average frequency of one or two a day. Therefore, the city guards do not allow anyone to go out to walk or move on the streets after dark. And once someone goes out without fear of death and is discovered, they may be arrested and interrogated, or at worst, shot and killed on the spot. This is not something to be joked about casually!
"..."
Otherwise!
Tonight, in the night of the sacred and ancient city of Labona, the great sword Claire wore a black tights and a black cloak, and then held two short blades, disguising herself as a The female thief took advantage of the silence of the night to quietly find her window sill on the second floor of the cheap hotel, flew directly onto the roof quietly, and then began to move quickly and vigorously on the roof.
She knew that walking on the street would easily lead to detection and siege, so walking from the rooftop became her only option, and the key was that it was not easy to be discovered.
That's right!
Claire is planning to go to the cathedral tonight to investigate the matter of demons eating people!
It's a pity that for some reasons, although she accepted the commission and was invited, she could not investigate blatantly, nor reveal her identity, nor let others know that the 'Big Sword' had arrived in this city. The fact is, therefore, they are not allowed to wear the protective gear of their 'big sword' or their iconic big sword, and they have to make some necessary disguises.
But even then, Claire didn't mind and was still ready to complete the task.
At this time, she was traveling very fast, and if you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't be able to spot her at all. And even if someone accidentally sees it, there is a high probability that her dark shadow will have flashed past before they can see clearly.
In addition, the footsteps under her feet were very light, just like a wild cat running past on the roof, and they were disguised. At the same time, the moonlight in the sky was not very good, so under normal circumstances, You definitely don't have to worry too much about that happening.
"..."
Soon, after running around for a while, she left the civilian area, quickly jumping and running on the roofs of houses, and then crossed a river and arrived at the rich and aristocratic area, and then she Flexible and agile, she quickly reached the roof of a very tall luxury hotel and was about to rush through it towards the church area further ahead.
However!
Uh-huh! !
Just as she was running quickly on the ridge of the roof, preparing to go to her destination, suddenly a city defense soldier holding a long sword suddenly appeared out of nowhere and struck hard towards the head with a sword. Did she chop it off?
clang! !
The long sword struck the ridge of the roof with force, instantly smashing the decorative rock materials and tiles into pieces. At the same time, a loud noise broke the silence of the night.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Almost at the same time, on the other side, another guy holding a throwing knife, who looked like he was also from the city defense army, shot three darts at her back and nailed them to the cloak on her back with precision and viciousness.
But fortunately, Claire used the toughness of her cloak to gently twist and bring the three flying knives aside. While preventing them from causing harm to herself, she also caught them in her hands.
"..."
However, as soon as she came and went, she had to stop and confront the two city defense guys on the ridge of the roof of a tall house.
"snort!"
"You should be aware of the ban on going out at night, right?"
"You dare to disobey the curfew and run around on the rooftops of the city. You must be a monster. What else can you say?"
"Do you want us to kill you on the spot, or do you want to be captured without mercy?"
Seeing that Claire, who was wearing a black robe, dexterously dodged the ambush and attack of the two of them, the tall man in plate armor who dared to run to the roof was not too anxious. He just sneered and blocked the way. Leya came forward and asked.
"Hey!"
"This guy……"
"During the day, they were secretive and refused to take off their helmets for us to inspect, but now they come out sneakily at night."
"really!"
"Geck, it's really a good idea for us to stay here. Now look, she's exposed herself, right?"
The thin and insignificant city guard who was blocking Claire also sneered and sneered proudly. At the same time, he took out two throwing knives in his hand again and was ready to continue attacking.
"..."
Claire actually didn't quite understand what the two said, but she only knew that she was discovered and surrounded from both sides. She had to escape quickly, and she absolutely couldn't let the two of them see her face. .
So, she began to observe the two soldiers calmly and found that they were both very skilled. They were obviously elite warriors who had gone through rigorous training? Faced with this situation, she must be more careful and cautious, not to reveal her true identity, nor to harm the lives of the two of them.
"!!"
Next!
She made a decision quickly without being verbose or talking to him. She just fired the three flying knives that had just hit her in the light of the calcium carbide fire towards the wretched man behind her to interfere with him. At the same time, she hurriedly held her double blades and rushed resolutely towards the big man in armor in front, and soon they were fighting fiercely.
"hateful!"
"Did you just miss?!"
Seeing that Claire fired three flying knives at him first, and judging from the situation, it was still the three flying knives that he had just attacked. The wretched man was shocked, and while hurriedly dodging, Angrily, he was scurrying not far away, ready to direct the flying knife in his hand at Claire's body.
that's all!
The battle soon became fierce, and there was a louder noise, so that some of the windows of the big hotel that were originally turned off lit up one by one, and then some people, especially the hotel management and security guards, lit up one by one. The staff stretched out their heads to look at the roof curiously.
But it's a pity that since the three of them were fighting on the roof, they just looked up from the window, so they definitely couldn't see anything.
"..."
But Claire can't control so much about those things now.
She just quickly dodged a few attacks from the sword of the soldier in front of her, and then began to deal with the opponent. From time to time, she would counterattack with one or two quick thrusts to disrupt the opponent's rhythm, and at the same time, she was always on guard. He hit the flying knife of the cunning and wretched guy, and then began to think hard about how to escape.
"go to hell!"
"asshole!"
Suddenly, the strong city guard who had just been called 'Gek' by that wretched guy stepped on the roof tiles with both feet, and while standing firm, he roared with a sweep that swept through thousands of people. Jun's horizontal slash was aimed at Claire, who was forced to the corner of the roof. Judging from the situation, he was determined to cut her into two pieces?
"..."
But unfortunately, Claire, who said nothing, relied on her agility to easily dodge her attack with one jump, and then waved her hand, easily swaying away the wretched man behind her and sneaking up on him. of two flying knives.
Then, she planned to take the opportunity to move and see if there was a chance to leave here.
"!!"
But it was a pity that she had just settled down and before she could retreat, the strong 'Gek' slashed at her again, forcing her to raise the double blades in her hands again to barely defend herself.
that's all.
The figures of the two people were attacking each other back and forth on the roof. In the dark night, no one could see each other's face clearly. Except for the occasional flash of cold light from the sharp blade, each other's fast and precise attacks and defenses continued in the middle of the night. There was a frightening sound of metal collision, and the huge movement naturally alarmed more people around it.
But the battle had no tendency to stop anytime soon, and Claire didn't want to directly harm the lives of the two of them, so the battle gradually became anxious.
"You guys!"
"Everyone stop it!"
At this moment, unexpectedly, a light scolding sounded.
"?!"
"who is it?"
"??"
When they heard the sound, the three people who were in a stalemate stopped subconsciously and turned their heads to stare in the direction of the sound.
Then, the three of them discovered together: a female knight wearing beautiful golden-red full-body plate armor suddenly appeared on the other side of the roof. At the same time, in the dark night, she was also holding a terrifying and gorgeous giant. The sword stood on the ridge and stared at the three people coldly?
"!!"
"What?"
"It's actually her?"
"That is to say..."
"Isn't this the woman we caught?"
"Mistaken?!"
Then, the next second, the two city defense troops exclaimed in surprise. It was obvious that they themselves had never thought that such an embarrassing situation would happen.
Originally, they were waiting here and prepared to secretly monitor and investigate. As expected, they caught a female thief in black. This made them very excited at first. They thought that the female thief in black was the armor-clad one who refused to be investigated during the day. The female knight has already thought about what she will do after taking down the opponent.
But who would have thought that now the female knight in full armor appeared in front of them, directly using facts to prove that their previous guesses were wrong, and this huge gap and embarrassment certainly made the two of them heartbroken. It's a very unpleasant taste.
"you……"
That's right!
If the person here is not Elena, who is it?
"If you want to fight somewhere else, please don't disturb my master's rest here!"
"Get out of here!"
"Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude?"
Then, after first looking at each other with Claire who was also a little shocked, and making sure that the other party had discovered the demonic aura she was deliberately exuding, she spoke up and warned in a coquettish voice that the other party must be familiar with and could hear.
"..."
When hearing Elena's words, the silent Claire was surprised and couldn't help but feel happy.
Although she didn't know why Elena was here, she only knew that Elena must have wanted to give her a chance to escape when she said that, so while she continued to be wary of the two people, she also began to secretly Look at the escape route.
"What did you say?"
"I bother!"
"We are city defense troops. How dare you speak to us in that tone?!"
After hearing Elena's words, the wretched man was of course furious and shouted angrily. He even raised the flying knife in his hand to attack Elena.
"!!"
Seeing this, Elena would not coddle the other person.
So she suddenly stepped forward quickly and slashed at the wretched man with one sword!
"careful!!"
Upon seeing this, the companion beside the wretched man, Gek holding a long sword, rushed forward.
clang! !
Although, he blocked Elena's attack with one sword, but under the huge collision of force, he and the wretched man rolled to the side and crushed a lot of tiles.
"!!"
"not good!"
"She ran away!"
Although the two people got up quickly, they saw angrily that the woman in black took the opportunity to escape and disappeared in the blink of an eye, making them anxious and angry but helpless.
"Ah!"
"Your prey seems to have escaped accidentally..."
Watching Claire leave, until the other party completely disappeared into the night, Elena teased the two city defense soldiers who turned around and became a little angry:
"how?"
"Now, you still want to continue?"
While speaking, she looked at them indifferently, her words revealing a sense of disdain and majesty full of murderous intent.
"hateful!"
"You must also be in the same party!"
"Gak!"
"Let's take her down first!!"
Seeing that the suspect had run away, and his original conjectures and plans were ruthlessly shattered by the facts, the wretched man was so angry that he was not prepared to consider the strength of each other, so he planned to make the wrong mistake and arrest Elena first?
"..."
Hearing this, Elena of course silently clenched the giant sword in her hand, ready to teach the two of them a profound lesson.
"Hello!"
"That guy over there!"
"Are they from the city guard?"
"hateful!"
"You crazy people!"
"It's okay to come here to cause trouble during the day, but you come here to destroy the roof of our hotel in the middle of the night, and you also want to attack my guests. What on earth do you want to do!"
"I'll make you look good!"
"I swear!!"
Fortunately, at this time, the steward of the hotel led a large group of guards with kerosene lamps, opened a small door in the attic, and came to a maintenance platform on the roof. After the confrontation with Elena, who was armed, they made up their mind about what happened based on what happened during the day, and started yelling and swearing angrily.
"Don't run!!"
"stop!!!"
However, as soon as he shouted, the two city guards were instantly frightened. Then, without waiting for them to stumble on the tiles with their lamps to get closer and see them clearly, they quickly ran away. He no longer dares to say harsh words to Elena. It seems that he is really afraid of getting into trouble?
There is no need to say more about what happened after that. It was nothing more than Elena simply explaining the situation, such as hearing the movement on the roof, and then the guardian was eager to come up to check, and then she was accused and attacked by the two people.
And after hearing what Elena said, of course the manager continued to apologize humbly and apologize, while declaring with the same hatred that people would be held accountable tomorrow, and the two people would be made to pay the price, etc. before guaranteeing. Finally, Elena was coaxed back.
"..."
But actually, Elena didn't mind that matter.
She just went to help Claire casually, so when she returned to the luxurious hotel living room, she felt that there would be nothing to do at night, so she was ready to take off her armor and have a good rest.
"!!"
However, when she turned around, she found a little thing waving towards her on the table?
"Tibbers?"
"Your master is awake?"
After taking a closer look and realizing it was a certain bear, Elena looked in the direction of the bedroom with some worry.
Elena had long known that Tibbers, the stuffed bear that Anne was carrying, was moveable and said to be very, very powerful. After all, Anne had already confessed her identity to her and told her the most, most, most. The most, most, most, most, most... the identity of a powerful mage?
Anyway!
Now she was not too surprised by the existence of Tibbers, a monster-like creature that was originally a puppet but could move and liked to move around in the middle of the night. What she was more worried about now was that Annie would wake up. Come and get angry or something.
(…)
(●￣￣●)
Tibbers didn't speak, he just took out a 'basin' that looked like an arena model, put it on the table and motioned for Elena to come over.
"Um?"
"What's this?"
Although she didn't know what the other party wanted to do, Elena certainly didn't mean to refuse. She just stepped forward obediently, and then under the other party's instructions, she reached out and touched the arena model to check it out.
However……
"!!"
The next moment!
Her body immediately stiffened.
At the same time, a small figure exactly like her appeared in the center of the basin-like arena model, and she was still looking around in surprise.
(!!)
()
Seeing this, a certain bear couldn't wait to stretch out its small paw towards the arena model and press down on its food bowl, causing its projection to appear in the middle of the arena model.
That's right!
Of course Tibbers is going to have a midnight snack!
Although, it is said that the flesh of demons has a very strong smell of blood, and the same goes for great swords, but for Uncle Xiong who likes to eat "live humans", that kind of thing is not a problem at all!
Uncle Xiong likes that bite, and the stronger the smell of blood, the more delicious it is. On the contrary, it is not rare for food that has been cooked or spiced to remove the smell of blood!
