Chapter 130: Extinction
Relying on the powerful physical strength of the "Cup" Extraordinary, Bill and Fitch quickly jumped onto the railing corridor on the third floor, without even taking the stairs. Following Luer's orders, they had to go up and eliminate the sniper on the high ground, which was Vanya.
Facing the enemy who was climbing up quickly with the help of pillars and railings, Vanya did not stop her actions although she was panicking. She loaded the next bullet, aimed the gun, and pulled the trigger again. With another burst of gunfire, Fitch, who was lying on the pillar, was hit in the right hand and bleeding. Then, he lost his balance and fell downstairs with a scream. He hit his head on the floor tiles and fell to the ground for a while.
Although Sister Vanya, as a civilian, had seldom been on the battlefield, she relied on the concentration brought by the spirituality of the "lamp" to overcome her panic and did not panic at the critical moment.
One of them was knocked down by one shot, but that meant that no one was taking care of the other one. Relying on Fitch as a tiptoe, Bill successfully climbed to the top of the corridor on the third floor and landed only about ten meters away from Vanya. Seeing this scene, Vanya, who was about to pull the bolt to reload, finally couldn't help but show a panic expression on her face.
'He, he's coming up!'
Seeing the panicked Vanya, Bill was delighted. He knew the characteristics of the "Light" Extraordinary in the church. If he fought with her from a distance, he would never win. But now that they had successfully shortened the distance, the situation was different. The "Cup" Extraordinary was much stronger than the "Light" in close combat.
"You're done, you lackey of the church..."
As he spoke, Bill drew a dagger from his waist and rushed towards Vanya. Seeing this, Vanya threw the rifle that had not yet been reloaded forward in desperation. Bill deflected the rifle with his sword, and Vanya took this opportunity to take out a piece of straw paper and slapped it on her forehead.
'Lord, please forgive me for bringing about this pagan evil...'
After the straw paper burned quickly, a faint "cup" mark appeared on Vanya's forehead. This was the Life-Eating Talisman!
This was given to Vanya by Dorothy not long ago. After Dorothy helped her convert the poison extraction of "The Song of the Lamb" into spiritual energy, Vanya's physical strength had accumulated a "cup", so she could use the Shengku Talisman.
After sending the rifle flying, Bill swung the sword at Vanya, and Vanya, whose physical strength had been enhanced, took two steps back to avoid Bill's swing, kicked away a long box beside her, turned around and drew out a light sword from it. This was a weapon that Vanya had prepared long ago, just like the rifle.
Picking up the sword, Vanya's expression froze. Taking advantage of Bill's opportunity to counterattack, she took a step forward and swung the sword to cut him. Bill was shocked when he saw this and immediately blocked with his sword, blocking Vanya's counterattack in a thrilling way.
"What a swift sword! Aren't most of the people in the Radiant Light Cult good at using spears? What's wrong with this sword!"
Bill was stunned to think that he had barely blocked Vanya's sword, but Vanya's attack continued. After one attack was blocked, she immediately changed the angle and stabbed again. This time Bill dodged narrowly at the cost of being scratched. But it was not over yet. Vanya's sword style kept coming like a rainstorm, and Bill was completely unable to defend himself. Whether he was blocking or dodging, he was defeated.
At this moment, the strength of Vanya and Bill is almost the same, but Vanya is much better at swordsmanship than Bill, so she has a clear advantage.
For a moment, the corridor was filled with the clanging sounds of steel weapons striking each other. Bill was scratched and pierced by swords stabbed from all directions. He had countless wounds on his body, and his whole body was stained with blood. Under Vanya's attack, Bill had no power to fight back, and even his defense could only barely protect his vital points. If he was not a "Cup" Beyonder, he would have been lying down long ago.
However, under this suffocating offensive, even this kind of forced defense could not last long.
Just when Vanya was gaining the upper hand in this one-on-one duel with her superb swordsmanship, something strange happened. All the lights around her disappeared almost in an instant, and the surroundings suddenly fell into darkness.
…
Fast forward in time, not long ago, in the chapel, the beastly Luer was fighting with the many corpses controlled by Dorothy.
The corpse puppets had the energy of life, but they were still unable to resist Luer. The power of the "cup" combined with the sharpness of the "shadow" attack allowed Luer to easily tear a corpse puppet apart with one claw. Although the corpse puppets' attacks could also leave wounds on Luer's body, they were all insignificant flesh wounds. As a black-level "cup", Luer's vitality was even stronger, and he could completely ignore this injury.
In just two or three minutes, Dorothy had lost half of her dolls. Suddenly the entire chapel was filled with broken pieces, and blood covered the ground.
"Is this guy... really that perverted?"
Hiding behind the curtain in the room on the third floor, Dorothy couldn't help but complain after seeing how quickly Luer dealt with the zombies. Just as she was estimating how long the remaining zombies could be used, something unexpected happened on the scene.
After tearing another corpse to pieces, the beastly Luer suddenly jumped back two steps and temporarily left the battlefield. Then, he used his bloody claws to pick up a small object from the tattered clothes. Upon closer inspection, he found that it was actually a black candle.
Through the passive ability of identification, Dorothy saw that this candle was an extraordinary item, an extraordinary item with shadow attributes.
"Extraordinary item? What's the use of this thing?" Dorothy wondered in her heart, but she did not stop the work in her hands. She once again replenished the corpses and rushed towards Luer.
"At this point, there is no need to treasure your spirituality too much... Let's use this to make a quick decision."
Thinking of this, Luer began to infuse the candle in his hand with his own "shadow", and then a strange silver flame was ignited on the black candle.
Finally, Luer brought the "burning" candle to his lips and blew it out with a whoosh.
The candle in Luer's hand was blown out, and along with it, all the lights in the villa were extinguished.
Relying on the strange candle in his hand, Luer turned off all the lights in a large area around him. In an instant, all the lights went out, and darkness enveloped the entire huge Field Villa, with only a faint moonlight looming.
Then, Luer's body disappeared into the darkness. All of Dorothy's zombies rushed up to attack but missed. Dorothy now found that her zombies' senses could no longer detect Luer's figure.
"Is this...hiding in the darkness with the power of 'shadow'? It's completely invisible!"
Dorothy thought with a serious expression that she mainly relied on the vision of the corpse puppet to perceive information on the battlefield. Now it was pitch black and she could not see anything at all.
If you can't see the enemy, you can't attack, but the enemy can see us in this darkness...
“Shua…”
In the darkness, there was a slight strange noise, followed by a sound of someone falling to the ground. Dorothy felt that one of her dolls was unable to move.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
Strange noises continued, and under the attack from an unknown direction in the darkness, all of Dorothy's puppets that were being manipulated were torn to pieces in an instant. Using the darkness as a cover to launch a surprise attack, Luer eliminated all of Dorothy's puppets that were being manipulated in one breath.
In the darkness, Luer, who was hiding in the dark, licked the blood on his claws, and then looked up at the third floor.
"The puppets have been eliminated. Next... we will hunt for the real bodies..."
