"Meet Satan!"
Nok cursed, endured the pain and got up from the ground, jumped out of the window and chased the monster.
But the monster's advantage was too great. Even though it had an expensive mithril dagger stuck in its back, it was still moving and climbing between the buildings "like flying".
Nok could only spread his legs and keep jumping on top of various buildings, trailing behind the monster.
"Suck~"
Nok sniffed the smell of blood in the air, which was the smell left by the monster's wounds.
Apart from the smell of blood, there was no trace left in the air.
There is no so-called dark aura of dark creatures, and no magical fluctuations of demihumans.
This confused Nok.
Is that monster really not a monster?
Or could it be said that the other party is a more advanced existence.
But judging from the brief encounter just now, although the monster was agile, it was not beyond Nok's range.
In fact, if Nok hadn't mistakenly thought that the opponent was a monster, had been restrained by the mithril dagger, and was carelessly attacked, the opponent might not have been able to escape from Nok.
"Since it's not a monster or a demihuman, then what exactly is it? Its intelligence is not low."
Nok thought as he tracked the monster.
The other party is wise, there is no doubt about this.
He knew how to show his enemy's weakness and ambush him for sneak attacks. He was better at this than many demihumans.
Moreover, the other party had to take away the target even when escaping. Obviously, the monster did not attack women indiscriminately, but attacked women with a purpose.
"It seems that I missed some clue."
A flash of inspiration appeared in Nok's mind, as if he had grasped something, but there seemed to be something missing.
But now he couldn't think more carefully.
The unconscious woman should be saved if possible. If she cannot be saved, she can only be considered unlucky.
But that mithril dagger is not only priceless, it is also a relic left by old nun Meili to Nok!
Even Father John didn’t know it existed!
Because, according to the old nun's last words, this dagger was placed in Nok's swaddling clothes and abandoned at the gate of the monastery together with Nok!
In other words, Nok is the owner of this dagger, and the dagger is also a clue to Nok's life experience!
Even if the woman who was attacked cannot be saved, the dagger must not be thrown away!
Suddenly, the figure of the monster in the distance suddenly dropped and disappeared on the roof.
"not good!"
"Wind elves walking in the air, please listen to my call and lend me your strength. Let my body be light and I can walk as fast as flying!"
Phew~
The breeze blew across his face, and Nok felt the wind element around him become active.
Light cyan light enveloped Nok, and Nok's speed suddenly doubled.
call out!
Nok turned into a green light and rushed towards the place where the monster disappeared.
In the dark night, professionals and bounty hunters who were hunting in other areas stopped one after another and turned their attention to Nok's location.
"What a rich magical element. When did such an outstanding mage come to England again?"
A mage from the Magic Guild was even more confused and cast a detection magic towards Nok's position.
Because Nok's magical fluctuations are so unfamiliar.
After all, magicians are extremely rare, and each one is very precious. Even magic apprentices and magic unions have records.
"Have new people come to our union to report recently? Why didn't I know?"
However, the mage only detected the magic fluctuations left by Nok. As for Nok himself, he had long since disappeared into the dark streets.
Nok had no idea what impact the magic he had stolen would have on the Magic Guild, nor how much trouble it would cause him in the future.
At this moment, he couldn't think about what he had or didn't have.
In the deserted private manor, Nok has once again dealt with the monster.
When he caught up with the monster, he found that the monster had pulled out the dagger from its back at some point and was holding the dagger belonging to Nok, trying to kill the lady he had captured!
Of course Nok will not let it succeed!
This is obviously to frame Nok!
As a result, Nok condensed an arrow of light and shot it at the monster.
In this way, the two sides fought again.
But after a while of fighting, Nok became more and more frightened.
The monster is extremely experienced in fighting and even knows its own moves.
Even Nok, who had been fighting the dark creatures for three years, was suppressed by the opponent.
You know, that monster's back was injured!
But even though he was injured, Nok was chased away by his opponent.
After observing during the battle, Nok came to a conclusion that frightened him.
This is not all the strength of the monster!
The monster's red eyes and occasional pauses in the battle told Nok that this monster was in a state of emotional madness.
If the opponent could fight calmly and with all his strength, Nok might have lost!
"Asshole! It seems I am still too kind."
"Let you, a monster, see the glory of the Lord!"
Nok, who had no weapon in his hand, had been using light arrows condensed by holy light magic to contain the monster.
But faced with the monster's claw attacks again and again, he hid very awkwardly.
If he still had the dagger in his hand, even if he couldn't cut off the opponent's claws, he could still block them.
But the dagger was caught by the monster's tail, and from time to time it would sneak attack Nok when Nok was not paying attention.
The cloak on Nok's body has been cut several times with daggers!
Fifty gold coins! just this!
Nok was so heartbroken that he no longer paid attention to the warning from that person back then!
He drove the monster back with an arrow, inserted his hands into his cloak, and grasped the two weapons on his lower back.
That was the trump card he had been playing for three years!
Except for using it once during the first mission, he has not used it again in three years.
Today, we will see blood again!
However, at this moment.
The midnight bell rang loudly.
A bright moonlight jumped out from the east.
Today is actually the last quarter moon!
"Roar!"
"No!"
When the monster saw the moonlight, it screamed in fear, covered its face with its hands, dropped Nok, turned around and ran away.
Nok, who was about to use his ultimate move, was shocked by this turning scene. He was stunned in place for a moment, forgetting to attack and pursue.
"Wait! Don't run! Come back! My dagger! My dagger!"
Nok let out a cry of grief and chased in the direction where the monster disappeared.
But there are no traces of monsters at this time!
Just when Nok was about to continue tracking the opponent by relying on the smell of blood on the monster, a burst of barking came into Nok's ears.
"Woof! Woof woof!"
"there!"
"Hurry up!"
"We must catch [Ripper]!"
Noisy and messy footsteps came, and Nok knew that the patrolman was coming.
After all, he had been fighting the monster here for so long, and the patrolman saw the ghost only after he couldn't react.
Although he thought that his dagger was more important, Nok's body honestly stopped pursuing the pursuit and turned towards the abandoned manor.
As a priest, he couldn't really ignore death.
This is the teaching of Sister Mellie and Father John.
Returning to the abandoned manor, he picked up the unconscious woman, packed her clothes that had been ripped apart by the monster, and placed her at the door of the manor. Then, Nok disappeared into the darkness, jumped to the top of the building, and disappeared into the night.
The belated patrol officer soon discovered the unconscious Daisy.
After confirming that the unconscious woman in front of them was the missing Daisy Green, the patrol officers finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But more than anything, it was ecstasy.
Because this is the first woman to survive from the murderer [The Ripper]!
As the victim, Daisy Green must know something about the murderer!
At this moment, the patrolmen could not care about anything else. A group of people brought the unconscious Daisy Green back to the police station. At the same time, they invited the best doctors and nurses from the British Hospital to the police station to treat Daisy.
As for why not ask a priest from the Natural God Church.
That's because all the extraordinary professionals are repelling this group of new professionals composed of ordinary people.
Relying on the so-called technology, he dares to call himself a professional. It is simply ignorant.
Thinking that you can use technological weapons to kill one or two low-level monsters, you dare to clamor for the coming of a new era to replace the professionals of the "old era". Such ridiculous remarks naturally make the so-called new era professionals become old era professionals. A thorn in his side.
Of course, professionals from the old era are too lazy to keep up with this so-called new era.
After all, an injury can be cured with just one treatment, but it takes a few days or even a month or two for the so-called doctors to cure it. How can this be competitive?
Even the so-called musketeers are vulnerable to heavily armed soldiers.
As long as they avoid the first shot, any professional can kill the musketeer hundreds of times while the musketeer is reloading!
Only teams of musketeers can pose a threat to professionals.
All in all, the “old era” does not take the “new era” seriously, while the “new era” desperately wants to prove that the “old era” is outdated.
Nowadays, the "Ripper" case is used as a label to prove themselves by these "new era" people in the police department.
Therefore, after finally finding clues, they tried their best to revive Daisy and get useful information from her.
But when they learned from the conscious Daisy that the Ripper was a monster, they all fell silent.
Seeing that his colleagues were all immersed in the news that the murderer was a monster, a team leader spoke first.
"Director, it seems that [The Ripper] is really a monster. Mr. Holmes was not talking nonsense last time. Should we apply for support?"
"Support? Who can we ask for help? To those people from the old era!"
After hearing the team leader's words, the director roared angrily.
As one of the first police chiefs of the Lionheart Kingdom and a pioneer of the new era (as they consider themselves), he will never bow to the old era!
The scolded team leader collapsed and covered his forehead, and explained helplessly: "Musket Team, I mean Musket Team. Although we also have muskets, we don't have many people, and we have to disperse them to patrol in various neighborhoods. "
"Although there are no homicides in other neighborhoods, there are still thefts and robberies that we need to deal with."
"Since we have replaced the city guards of the old era, we must do a better job than them."
"But in this case, our manpower will not be enough to encircle and suppress the monster [Ripper]."
"Although I don't want to deny it, the strength of our patrols in single-target combat is indeed not as good as the professionals of the old era. After firing the gun, filling the gap of the ammunition is enough for the monster to kill us several times.
Although patrol officers also have swords, our patrol officers’ swordsmanship skills are really hard to compliment.
I'm not being alarmist. I believe everyone here has seen the power of monsters. Even low-level monsters are not something we can fight alone. But the old days could do it! "
"So everyone, if we want to revitalize the New Era, we must understand the trade-offs. There is no shame in asking the Musketeers for help. At least, they are also the New Era!"
The team leader's words echoed in the conference room, making the members present deafening.
The director even said with gleaming eyes: "Well said! Young gentleman, you are very insightful. From now on, I will promote you to the captain of the police station, responsible for coordinating the [Ripper] case, whether it is arresting It's up to you to decide whether to kill or not. I don't look at the process, only the results. I delegate all the power to you. I hope you won't disappoint me, and don't disappoint Her Majesty the Queen!"
"As you command, sir!"
