Chapter 365: Healing Sword
Nantivian, Episcopal Square.
In the New Year's Square, people celebrated joyfully under the guidance of the host on the stage. The fireworks that had been prepared for a long time exploded in the sky at the moment the New Year arrived. Brilliant sparks bloomed continuously in the night sky. The whole of Tivian was welcoming the arrival of the new year.
At the New Year's hour, which was also the hour of killing, on the roof of a tall building at the edge of the Bishop's Square, Nephnis leaned over a dead body, licked the blood of the prey with her tongue, and at this moment, she could feel the throbbing from the depths of her soul, and could feel the power of the soul radiating through her body. Under the influence of the wilderness soul whiskers, she mastered the hunting skills of the wild beasts in the wilderness.
Without much hesitation, Nephthys launched another surprise attack to the astonishment of everyone around her. She got on all fours and pounced on another masked surveillance officer. The apprentice's shadowy figure hurriedly rolled over and narrowly avoided the attack. He clenched the dagger in his hand and stabbed Nephthys in counterattack, but his stab was easily dodged by Nephthys who turned sideways. Nephthys seized the opportunity and bit the wrist of the surveillance officer who stretched out for the stab. With the gushing of blood, the surveillance officer's wrist was bitten by the huge force and was almost broken. He couldn't help but scream in extreme pain.
The severe pain and the injury to his arm made it almost impossible for the surveillance creature to continue fighting. Nephthys took this opportunity to scratch the surveillance creature's throat with one claw. Another prey fell, but Nephthys's hunting was not over yet. Her vertical pupils turned and she immediately glared at the third surveillance creature not far away.
After witnessing the quick deaths of his two companions, the last surveillance officer was glared at by Nephnis's vertical pupils and felt a surge of fear in his heart. Then, knowing that he could not fight against the creature in front of him, he turned around and ran away in a hurry. However, it was a foolish decision to expose his back to the hunter.
Faced with this situation, Nephnis had no intention of letting the other party go. After a short period of accumulating strength, she pounced on the fleeing figure at high speed. When the other party was about to open the door and go downstairs, she knocked him down from behind and quickly killed him with the claws in her hands.
In a short period of time, Nephnis, who had just been promoted to a soul master, personally hunted down three apprentices of "Shadow", and her methods were extremely neat and cruel. This was definitely not an attack method that Nephnis, as the eldest daughter of a wealthy family and an excellent student in school, could use. This hunting attack was naturally caused by the influence of the soul whiskers.
The ability of a spirit master is very simple, that is, to use one's own body to rely on the spirit, and use oneself as a carrier to reproduce the previous skills of the attached spirit.
Of course, this way of relying on something is not just about letting the soul control an ordinary body. The body of the soul possessor is very special. In order to allow the spirit to exert unprecedented or even surpass its previous strength, the spirit will undergo some special changes. After being possessed by the soul whisker, some properties of Nefernis's body have even begun to move closer to those of a cat. For example, her nails have become much sharper inadvertently, and her body has become extremely light. Otherwise, it would be impossible for a human body to fully exert the hunting movements of a cat.
Unlike some other extraordinary professions, the strength of the soul master has strong fluctuations, which largely depends on the strength of the spirit body that the soul master relies on. The stronger the spirit body, the stronger the ability of the soul master can be. Of course, due to the rank of the soul master himself, this performance is also limited.
Soulwhisker is a wilderness spirit of the New World. It is a special spirit that is much more powerful than ordinary ghosts. Soulwhisker, who can be chosen as a representative by the environment, is also an excellent predator. By possessing Nefernis, Nefernis's abilities have been greatly enhanced.
The first-level "cup", Soulbeard's hunting experience and skills, Soulbeard's spiritual strength that increases the ability of the soul master... Under these factors, the first-level "shadow" apprentice Niying is completely no match, and was completely hunted down by Nephness in just a short time. Because of the influence of Soulbeard's combat experience, Nephness was also affected by Soulbeard's consciousness, and her behavior resembled that of a mountain cat.
The residents at the scene widened their eyes in shock after seeing this scene. Some of them were so frightened that they could not help but point their weapons at Nefernis. The Nefer in front of them gave them the same feeling as the dangerous beast they encountered in their hometown.
On the other side, after seeing that the three surveillance officers were killed accidentally and Capac was not dead, Sadow became anxious and decided to deal with Capac himself. He took advantage of the opportunity when Nefernis was about to kill the third surveillance officer, gritted his teeth and rushed towards Capac, stretched out his hand and pushed him directly, wanting to push him off the roof directly, so that no one could stop him from inciting people.
Facing Sadow who was coming aggressively, Capac was well prepared. He had already pasted the Eater Talisman sent by Dorothy through the corpse doll before he came. Therefore, he was not at all inferior to Sadow in the head-on confrontation. He stretched out his hand and easily resisted Sadow's attack, then threw Sadow to the ground with a side throw, and then punched Sadow in the face, knocking him unconscious. The whole person fainted. Even the most powerful hunter could not resist the blessing of extraordinary power.
After seeing the leader Sadow being knocked down easily, the residents on the scene became even more shaken for a moment. After getting rid of Sadow, Capac stood up again and spoke again to his compatriots under the fireworks in the sky.
"Put down your weapons, everyone. I will take you back to the land, and we will fight for our people in the right way."
Capac said this, and finally, with the help of many factors such as the example of giving up, the great shaman's persuasion, and the leader being defeated, the villagers looked at each other and finally put down their weapons. Capac finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this scene.
…
"Ah... Looks like it's over there..."
On the other side, behind the stage of the Bishop's Square, Adele looked through the window at the rooftop in the distance. From her position, she could barely see the residents confronting each other on it. Just now, she had used her little remaining inherent spirituality to help Capac and the others a little, and helped those wavering residents make a decision.
For people with strong will, Adele's ability actually has limited impact, but for those who are wavering and hesitant, Adele can exert a great effect with a small amount of spirituality. After Capac's persuasion, the hearts of those indigenous people were already in a state of indecision, but blood feud is not something that can be completely eliminated with just a few words. To be on the safe side, Dorothy asked Adele to use a little bit of her ability to help Capac and help his compatriots make a decision.
After all, as a dancer on stage, Adele is very willing to protect her audience.
"In this case, the threat to the audience is completely eliminated, and the only thing left is the two assassins targeting the royal family. I hope Miss Detective will have smooth sailing."
Adele thought so in her heart, and then she turned her gaze to the rooftop on the other side of the square, where a more intense battle was going on.
…
Time moved forward slightly, and one minute before the countdown, on the roof of a building on the other side of the Bishop's Square, a man dressed as a guard was taking out a brass and white wood rifle from a prepared wooden box and walked to the edge of the roof.
Amid the cheers of the audience in the square downstairs, Berlitt, who was standing on the edge of the roof, pressed a mechanism somewhere on the gun in his hand, and then a small, slender opening opened on the side of the gun. Then Berlitt took out a few shiny gold coins with the mark of the sun from his pocket, and stuffed the gold coins into the gun one by one. After stuffing a total of five gold coins, he pulled the bolt and loaded the bullets.
Berlitt pointed his gun at the royal balcony in the distance. After he aimed, there was another noise from the side of the rifle. Under the action of an unknown mechanism, three round lenses were deformed from the gun body and overlapped in front of Berlitt's eyes under the support of a thin bracket. Through these overlapping lenses, Berlitt could see the balcony hundreds of meters away clearly.
"Then... now we have to wait for the performance of the indigenous ancestors..."
Looking at the duke and princess chatting and laughing with each other on the balcony, as well as the bodyguards behind them, Berlitt murmured with a smile. At this moment, he could already hear the host on the stage below mobilizing the crowd to count down.
Just as Berlitt was about to count down with the audience below, he saw a rather unexpected scene. Through the lens, Berlitt saw a man in the clothes of a captain of guards suddenly break into the balcony. After apologizing to the princess and the duke, he took one of the bodyguards into the house for a while.
After the bodyguard who was pulled into the house by the chief of guards came back, he suddenly started discussing something with the other bodyguards. Then he actually brought all the bodyguards into the house, including his accomplice.
Although Berlitt could see the reluctance on his accomplice's face, the other party could do nothing about it.
