Chapter 47: Raid

In the morning, in the lower city of Igwynt, there was a sudden burst of gunfire at No. 22 Elm West Lane. Thomas and Oliver, the members of the Red Communion who had returned from the disaster, took advantage of the fact that their companions were off guard and suddenly launched an attack, launching a sneak attack on their former companions and superiors.

There was a burst of gunfire in the small study. The four Communion minions and their companions who were standing there were shot and fell to the ground one after another in the sudden attack. Burton, who was walking towards the altar, was also shot three times in the back in an instant. He staggered and almost fell to the ground. Then he turned his head suddenly, the expression on his face was distorted by anger, and his wide-open eyes were full of bloodshot.

"Traitor... How dare you..."

Burton gnashed his teeth and stared at the subordinate who suddenly attacked him. Although he was puzzled as to why the other party suddenly rebelled, this doubt had long been overshadowed by the burning anger.

After taking care of everyone else in the room, Oliver pointed his gun at Burton with an expressionless face, and together with Thomas, he ruthlessly pulled the trigger and shot his former boss, firing all the remaining bullets. Seeing this, Burton began to dodge sideways quickly, and he was only hit by one bullet in the abdomen out of the four bullets fired by the two.

As a 'Cup' Extraordinary, Burton was still alive even after being hit by three bullets. Not only that, he still retained a strong mobility and dodged the subsequent three bullets. Then he stared at the traitor in front of him and launched a counterattack.

With his feet on the floor, Burton rushed towards Thomas and the others in one leap, and in the blink of an eye he was in front of them. At this time, the bullets in Thomas and Oliver's hands had been used up. At this moment, they could only punch towards the attacking Burton, but Burton's punch was faster and more powerful.

With a loud bang, Oliver's head was hit by a punch with a strength beyond the reach of ordinary people, causing it to be dented and deformed, and his skull was shattered. His whole body was knocked out by the huge force, flew out of the door and hit the corridor, with countless fractures all over his body.

After knocking Thomas away, Burton grabbed Oliver's arm that was holding the dagger and swung it at him. Burton coldly used his other hand to forcibly snatch the dagger from Oliver, and cut off Oliver's wrist with one swing. He then cut off Oliver's head with two more swings, and then kicked Oliver's broken body away, splashing blood everywhere.

Just as Thomas and Oliver were being brutally tortured by Burton, the white-haired girl in the open coffin on the ground beside them suddenly opened her eyes. Dorothy stood up from the coffin and took something out of her clothes.

It turned out to be a palm-sized piece of straw paper with an abstract symbol in the shape of a wine glass printed on it… This was the Shengku Talisman, the "cup" talisman that Dorothy had found on the members of the Holy Communion before.

Without thinking too much, Dorothy slapped the talisman in her hand on her forehead and began to whisper.

"I am also here... Please give me the blood cup..."

The talisman instantly burned into nothingness, and then a scarlet cup-shaped mark flashed on Dorothy's forehead.

The Life-Saving Talisman consumes the spiritual energy of the "cup" in the user's body to enhance physical strength. If an ordinary person uses it, all the "cups" in the body will be exhausted and die. However, Dorothy is different. She has obtained extra "cups" by reading the secret book before, so that situation will not happen.

As the "Cup" symbol first appeared on her forehead, Dorothy felt a hot power flowing through her limbs and bones. Then she took out two revolvers directly from the coffin, pointed one in each hand at Burton who had just kicked Oliver away, and then opened fire at the same time.

Compared to many modern pistols, the power of the revolver is quite large, which also brings about a strong recoil. As a thirteen-year-old girl, Dorothy finds it difficult to control the gun with both hands, and can only barely shoot at nearby enemies. However, with the enhancement of the Life-Saving Talisman, Dorothy's physical fitness can now easily hold the revolver with one hand and wield two guns.

“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Dorothy kept pulling the trigger, and the two pistols in her hands roared and fired, and the bullets shot towards Burton, who had just dealt with Thomas and Oliver. Burton was caught off guard and was hit by four bullets. One bullet broke the bones in his left arm, and another bullet almost shattered the muscles in his right thigh, temporarily impairing his movement.

Dorothy actually wanted to shoot the opponent's head, heart and other vital parts, but because she had no professional shooting training, she shot at the head and the bullet just grazed the skull.

Burton was shot again without warning and was knocked to the ground this time. He turned his head to look at Dorothy angrily, and after a moment of surprise, he struggled to stand up.

“It’s you…Aaaaaah!!”

Burton, who was already covered in blood, stood up with difficulty with one arm on the ground. His body was covered with wounds that looked like large pieces of rotten flesh. Even so, Burton, the "Thirsty Man", was still alive and could even move.

Roaring, Burton was ready to pounce on Dorothy. Faced with this situation, Dorothy began to activate the corpse puppet ring in her hand, injecting two points of "Awakening" spirituality into it, allowing the upper limit of the number of corpse puppets she could manipulate to four.

All of a sudden, the corpses of the communion members who had been shot dead by Oliver at the beginning and fell in the study stood up one after another and rushed towards Burton. Four bodies rushed to Burton at once, stopping him from attacking Dorothy. However, due to the overload operation, the "cup" originally stored on the corpse ring was also consumed at a very fast speed.

"Get out of my way!"

Using his broken body, Burton began to fight against the zombies that were entangled with him. He punched the zombies one by one until their bodies were deformed, and quickly broke free from the entanglement. At this time, Dorothy dropped the double guns in her hands, reached into the coffin, and took out a steel crowbar.

Dorothy held the crowbar tightly in both hands, her eyes fierce, and stepped forward quickly. With the "cup" mark on her forehead flashing, Dorothy swung the crowbar in her hand with greatly enhanced physical strength, and smashed it hard on Burton's forehead, breaking his skull with the first hit.

Since the gun can't hit the target accurately, just pick up your weapon and fight in close combat!

Burton, who was being entangled, was hit hard on the head. He stared blankly with his bloodshot eyes wide open. Then Dorothy hit him on the head a second time without mercy, directly opening his head and splashing blood. This time, Burton fell to the ground. Then Dorothy hit him a third time, a fourth time without mercy...

Finally, Burton, who was lying on the ground, gradually died in his wounds.
