That's right, the black shadow in front of you is the monster [Ripper].
Nok thought it was trapped in the lake and couldn't get out.
Who would have thought that this monster was so smart that he would take advantage of the well-developed waterway system in the British city to take a detour from the lake and lurk under the Westminster Bridge in advance, hoping to sneak attack the two of Nok.
If it hadn't been for Nok's quick reaction, the two of them would have been seriously injured in the car accident.
No wonder it was repelled by Nok and did not fall into the river. It turned out that its tail was wrapped around the railing of the bridge.
I underestimated this monster's IQ!
Nok was excited to discover that the monster was intelligent, but the monster became anxious because Nok was in the way.
Seeing that Anna had already reached the end of the bridge and was about to get off the bridge, the monster could no longer hold back and rushed directly towards Nok.
Kill Nok, then go after Anna!
This is what the monster is thinking at the moment!
"Well done, if you don't look for me, I still want to look for you! Give me back my things!"
Nok reached his waist with both hands, took out two weapons from behind and pointed them at the monster.
"Try the feast I prepared for you!"
"Crossbow arrows soaked in holy water!"
"Death! Monster!"
"Bang~bang——"
The sound of bow strings being stretched sounded, and two cold lights flew out with a "whoosh" sound, heading straight towards the monster [Ripper].
"Pfft, pfft!"
"Ouch!!!"
The monster never thought that Nok would have a crossbow in his hand!
This is contraband!
Even now, the Lionheart Kingdom has eliminated crossbows from its army and replaced them with more powerful muskets.
However, due to the danger of crossbows, the kingdom still prohibited their circulation among the people.
I don’t know where Nok got the crossbow.
If Nok knew what the monster was thinking, he would definitely tell it loudly that there is a place in the world called the black market, where except for the throne, there is nothing that cannot be bought!
Two crossbow arrows soaked in holy water were shot into the body of [Ripper], causing it to howl in pain and wave its claws towards Xizhou crazily.
Nok took the opportunity to buckle and push the two crossbows in his hands towards his calves.
The two crossbow arrows have been cocked.
Nok had to admire the goblin creativity.
If this kind of equipment for loading crossbows is mass-produced, muskets may not be able to replace crossbows in war.
However, although [Ripper] was in mad pain, there was no joy at all on Nok's face.
Because he discovered that his two crossbow arrows soaked in holy water did not work as expected.
Apart from the physical damage caused by the crossbow bolt, [Ripper] received no other damage.
This is completely different from the results of Nuck's experiment on finding dark creatures.
You know, the little devil Nok used for his experiment was purified before he could hold on for three seconds under the crossbow soaked in holy water.
But now looking at [Ripper]'s reaction, it doesn't care whether the two arrows have been soaked in holy water or not!
"It seems that you are really not a monster infected by darkness. Then what are you! A demi-human? A mutated beast? Or...a human?"
Hearing that Nok suspected that it was a human, [Ripper] was slightly startled, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and then he started to go crazy!
[Ripper] reached out and pulled out the crossbow bolts stuck in his right shoulder and left rib, and threw them at Nok.
"Ann...Na! Die!"
[Ripper] kicked his feet, rushed forward, chased after the crossbow, and killed Nok.
Whoosh, whoosh.
Nok raised his hand to shoot two arrows, then rolled to the right on the ground. While winding the crossbow in his left hand, he avoided the two crossbow arrows thrown back by [Ripper].
[Ripper] refused to evade and directly caught the two arrows with its body. The pain in its body stung its nerves.
It roared angrily and leaped high towards Nok's position.
"Whoa - die!!!"
[Ripper] punched Nok with both hands and hit Nok on the head who had just rolled up.
"Hey, hey, hey! You're committing a foul!"
Nok looked at the huge figure that enveloped him, screamed strangely, exerted force on his feet, jumped back, and at the same time did not forget to shoot the crossbow arrow in his left hand.
"boom!"
[Ripper]'s attack hit the bridge, and the entire bridge shook.
Biu!
A piece of gravel passed by Nok's eyes, and he was so frightened that he quickly covered his face with his arms.
Bang, bang, bang!
The following pieces of gravel hit Nok's body.
He grimaced in pain.
Faintly, he seemed to hear the screams of the two horses pulling the cart.
"咴咴——"
Kick, kick, kick.
Nok staggered a little as he landed in a hurry, his hands were numb and painful.
But he ignored the pain in his body and stared straight ahead.
The ground where [Ripper] hit was shrouded in smoke, which was the dust caused by [Ripper] destroying the bridge deck.
The rubble just now should be debris caused by the damage to the bridge deck.
Whoosh!
A black shadow rushed out of the smoke and rushed towards Nok with its mouth wide open.
"It's true that the Minotaur fell in love with the Pygmy, what the hell!"
There was smoke but no damage, [Ripper]'s speed did not slow down at all. Obviously, the crossbow arrow fired from behind Nok had no merit.
But Nok aimed the crossbow arrow at [Ripper]'s chest. How could it be...
Although Nok was puzzled, the situation in front of him made him unable to think too much.
Uh-huh!
The sharp claws struck, and Nok quickly leaned back to avoid the sharp claws that scratched his chest.
He quickly kicked out his right foot and landed on [Ripper]'s left leg.
But the ending was a bit embarrassing. [Ripper] didn't move at all, raised his right claw and slashed at Nok.
Nok quickly twisted his waist and turned sideways in the air to the left side of [Ripper], causing [Ripper]'s right claw to fall into the air.
The moment Nok landed, he clicked the crossbow on his leg with his right hand, and then pushed.
He raised his right hand and faced [Ripper]'s right paw, which turned around and slapped him, and pulled the trigger.
Ga——
The crossbow didn't respond!
"Huh!"
Nok's eyes widened and he was shocked.
Without thinking about why the shot failed, he quickly threw himself on the ground.
boom!
Nok fell heavily to the ground.
Tear it apart——
Clothes crumbs flew into the air, and there were four bloody scratches on Nok's back.
"hiss!"
Nok took a deep breath. Although he had pounced fast enough, he was still scratched by [Ripper]'s claws.
Nok ignored the injury on his back and instinctively rolled to the side, leaving four bloody marks on the ground.
Boom!
Stones flew and [Ripper] stamped a palm-deep depression into the ground.
"Fake! Do you have giant blood?"
Nok smashed the broken crossbow in his right hand into [Ripper]'s ugly face, and took advantage of the opponent's head to dodge, getting up from the ground, and distanced himself from [Ripper].
There's no need to think about close combat. Nok's thin arms and legs are no match for him.
It's all that bearded woman's fault! Even though she had the face of an aunt, she still insisted on saying that she was only 16 years old. Seeing how pitiful she was, Nok bought these two crossbows from her in a flash.
He actually has the nerve to be called a dwarf boutique, bah! It only took two arrows and it turned out to be fake.
Nok made up his mind to go back safely this time. Even if he was fined next time, he would smash the stall of that dwarf aunt who was pretending to be tender!
No, maybe she is actually just a dwarf, not a female dwarf at all!
Nok angrily loaded the crossbow with arrows in his left hand, then took out a black object from the backpack on his waist with his right hand, put it in the palm of his hand and rubbed it hard.
"Let's start the second round, you ugly guy."
Nok's provocation made [Ripper] very angry.
"kill--!"
[Ripper] charged and crashed into Nok.
Nok jumped up onto the guardrail of the bridge, and shot an arrow at [Ripper] from a high position.
[Ripper] turned to the side the moment Nok raised his hand, just in time to avoid the arrow.
It continued its speed and crashed towards Nok.
Nok squatted down, then used his feet to jump up, jumping into the air with his head down and his feet up.
"Let's see how you hide this time!"
In the air, Nok quickly loaded the bow with arrows in his left hand and aimed at the back of [Ripper] who was about to hit the guardrail of the bridge to attack.
However, at this moment, Nok's eyes were blurred, and a black shadow wrapped around Nok's wrist holding the crossbow.
Nok shouted in surprise: "Walter?"
Before he could pull the trigger of the crossbow, a huge force came from the black shadow, and Nok's body was pulled uncontrollably and began to spin in circles in the air.
"No! Stop! I'm dizzy!"
"vomit--!"
Nok didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to be a human windmill for a while.
It turned out that [Ripper] actually wrapped his tail around Nok's wrist, and then struggled to swing Nok in a circle in the air.
Perhaps after hearing Nok's "plea", after swinging Nok in the air for more than a dozen times, [Ripper] swung Nok hard toward the Thames River and released his tail.
"Whoosh!"
Knock turned into a cannonball and hit the Thames River.
"Boom!"
"Wow!"
"Wow~"
Nok was actually thrown into the river by [Ripper].
Is this considered a reward for this world?
After all, Knock also kicked [Ripper] into the lake.
After defeating Nok, [Ripper] did not care whether Nok was alive or dead in the river.
Instead, he followed the scent left by Anna and chased towards the bridge.
The ripples on the Thames River have not yet dispersed. Knock, who sank to the bottom of the river, was frozen awake by the cold river water.
He hurriedly swam up from the bottom of the river.
Wow.
"Cough cough cough~"
Nok coughed repeatedly as he emerged from the water.
Although I didn't stay at the bottom of the river for long, I was thrown into the water after being knocked unconscious before, so I choked on several mouthfuls of water.
"Not good! Anna is in danger!"
When he realized that [Ripper] was not chasing him or staying on the bridge, Nok thought of Anna.
But he was thrown into the middle of the river by the [Ripper] guy.
Knock doesn't know how wide the Thames is, but Westminster Bridge, which spans the Thames, is 252 meters long.
If he wanted to swim to the shore, he would have to swim at least more than 100 meters.
More than 100 meters, on land, Nok can cross the entire distance in a few seconds.
But in the water, Nok estimated that it would take two or three minutes.
Even though he has the physical fitness of a professional, his water skills are not good at all. He can only be considered a good swimmer, not even a proficient one.
At this time, Nok was very anxious and swam hard towards the shore in the direction of Anna.
But the more impatient he was, the less his hands and feet were able to obey his orders.
After swimming for dozens of seconds, I still hadn’t swam ten meters!
"No! Madam, nothing can happen to you!"
"Damn it! Move forward! Move forward quickly!"
