Chapter 338
The Hound of Tindalos Whitechapel.
For most people, tonight is a life-or-death night.
In order to make up for the losses, the evil beasts went out on a large scale, and many ordinary people were hunted.
The Queen of Evil Beasts walked to the ground, bathed in the scarlet full moon, and let out a deafening roar.
It seemed as if it had touched some inspiration, and many spikes grew on its skeletal skin, and twisted patterns appeared inexplicably.
Some of the patterns looked like twisted skulls, some looked like burnt flowers, but none of them looked normal.
The red moon set in the west, the evil beasts returned underground, and the screams in the city became less frequent.
On Belsk Street, next to the portal leading to the Ruins of the Spirits, more than twenty priests stood quietly, with several corpses of evil beasts scattered nearby.
The leading priest was Bishop Savvas, who yawned sleepily.
He fought all day yesterday and was on guard duty at night, so he felt a little exhausted.
He glanced at the dimly lit mist and felt a little relieved.
It won't be long before the red moon sets completely, and this damn night watch will be over. I can finally go back and rest.
The night was not peaceful, but the archbishop allowed them to hide in the Ruins of the Spirits when they encountered a large group of evil beasts, so they were not particularly afraid when they were on guard.
Suddenly, a panicked priest jumped out of the door.
"Help!" he shouted miserably with a distorted face.
A creature with a blurry body rushed out closely behind him, and then he saw that the priest's head was bitten off by it. Blood spurted high and splashed all over Savas' face.
The headless corpse took a step forward by inertia, and fell to his feet with its hands grasping haphazardly.
This creature looks like a wolf at first glance, but it is much larger than a wolf and its height reaches the neck of a normal person.
Its eyes were blazing red with no image in them, and its lower jaw was protruding, but its body contours were constantly changing slightly and emitting black mist, which was very strange.
With the appearance of this creature, a cold and evil aura began to spread.
What is that? Savas shuddered and came to his senses completely. He was very familiar with the person shouting for help. He was a second-level priest captain, who was killed instantly by this monster.
With his strength, he couldn't do it so easily.
He no longer cared about guarding the gate and shouted, "Disperse and form a formation!"
The purpose of guarding the gate is to prevent outsiders from entering Lingxu. Now something has happened in Lingxu, and it looks extremely fierce. He plans to test the enemy's strength first and then make plans.
The sudden change also awakened the sleepy guards. Hearing the bishop's call, everyone immediately dispersed and surrounded him and the monster.
This can not only prevent monsters from escaping, but also provide support at any time.
Savas gripped the flail tightly and activated the holy power. Bright red runes lit up on the enchanted armor and a dazzling golden light shone on the shield. This was a weapon made by Clown that had the evil-killing mark.
The monster tilted his head and looked around with interest, and while he was taking in the situation, Savas launched a surprise attack.
He suddenly stepped forward, raised the flail in his right hand, and the iron ball immediately turned red and white, and the holy power of fire burned fiercely.
The monster seemed to be unresponsive and did not dodge, with its head still tilted away.
Savas was delighted, and the flail directly hit the unprotected enemy, and even a fourth-level extraordinary creature would be injured.
What's more, he was aiming at the head, and the archbishop didn't dare to let him hit the head.
The next second, his joyful heart sank to the bottom. The flail passed through the monster without causing any damage, as if the enemy in front of him was just a realistic phantom.
At this moment, the monster turned its head and smiled cruelly at him. He could still see the transparent saliva flowing from the monster's mouth.
The monster lunged forward, clawing at his face.
Savas's honed consciousness allowed him to react. He moved his shield to block and released a flame guard at the same time.
A hemispherical red wall of light shone from the shield, mixed with the golden light of the evil-killing talisman.
He realized that the monster's difficulty might be beyond his ability, so he directly used the most powerful defensive method.
The defensive power of the flame guardian is so powerful that even a silver-level transcendent would need a certain amount of time to break it.
But Savvas miscalculated.
The monster's claws did not touch the protective light wall, but went straight through the shield to attack him.
"ah!"
He let out a scream as his arm was cut by the monster's claws. His shield fell to the ground and the defensive aura of the flame guardian also dissipated.
Then, Savas saw the monster's face approaching him, and his vision rolled upwards.
He saw his own body and his consciousness fell into endless darkness.
It happened so quickly that the priests and crusaders forming a formation on the periphery saw the bishop's head flying in the air, blood gushing out of his body, following the fate of the priest just now.
"escape!"
A trembling voice shouted out, and everyone fled in all directions.
The enemy was invincible. Even the bishop-level warriors were dealt with in a short period of time. They had no chance of winning.
All the struggles were in vain; the monster could kill a soldier with just one pounce. In a very short time, all these people fell in a pool of blood, and their mutilated bodies littered the streets.
The monster let out a fierce roar, and disappeared without a trace in a few jumps.
In Lingxu, Flanders walked towards the exit, and the time for the gate to close was not far away.
When he saw that there was no one near the gate, he immediately became alert.
He quickened his pace and ran forward, then he saw corpses scattered nearby and blood staining the ground red.
Flanders rushed over, he quickly checked the scene and found that none of the guards were alive.
He carefully examined the wound of one of them and found that the wound had become decayed, as if it had gone through a long time, and a very faint evil spirit lingered in the wound.
The archbishop stimulated the holy power, activated the magic circle in the armor and shield, and then stepped out of the Lingxu portal.
Returning to the material world, he immediately moved to the side to avoid possible attacks.
Nothing happened. He only saw the body lying on the ground, and Savvas's head with his eyes open lying at his feet.
He checked the wounds and found that the wounds of the dead people outside were exactly the same as those of the guards who died in Lingxu. He finally confirmed that one or more monsters from Lingxu had run into the material world.
Judging from his experience, the degree of blood drying inside Lingxu was not much different from that outside, so the guards should have been killed in a short period of time.
There were no traces of the monster's footprints at the scene, nor were there any clues to follow.
"It's troublesome," Flanders pressed his temple and walked back to the Lingxu. He gathered the scattered bodies together.
The soldiers who entered Lingxu returned one after another, and they worked together to carry the bodies out.
Seeing this scene, Audrey immediately checked the wound, frowned, and asked anxiously: "Who was the first to arrive at the scene? Did you see what attacked us?"
The wounds were very strange and reminded her of a particular evil creature.
"It was me," Flanders replied. "When I came out, the incident had already happened. I didn't see the attackers, so I couldn't determine the number of attackers."
The Archbishop's expression was very solemn. He turned around and said:
"Dals, transport the bodies back to the Holy Fire Cathedral. Keep Savvas' body and cremate the others. After returning to the church, notify Bishop Cavendish and the other bishops who remain in the church to come see me."
He paused, then raised his voice and shouted, "You've worked hard, fighting for so long. Go back and rest first. I'll take care of the rest."
He winked at Audrey and the others and said in a low voice:
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Please take the trouble to follow me to the church, and then we will get in the carriage and go back."
He was worried that these family members might encounter danger, so if they went together they would be able to take care of each other.
The carriage was so large that it could hold five people without feeling crowded. In addition to the archbishop, there were four members of the McLean family.
The carriage was so quiet that each other's breathing could be heard clearly.
Audrey took a breath, broke the silence and asked, "Uncle, do you have any guesses about the monster that ran out of Lingxu?"
"I have a slight guess. What about you?"
"It's clear that they haven't been dead for a long time, but the wounds have become decayed. The monster came from the spirit world. No other clues or traces were found. I guess it was the Hound of Tindalos who did it."
Audrey narrated calmly. She was at least 80% sure that her guess was correct.
Flanders nodded slightly, his eyes fixed. "It's the same as my guess. And judging from the scene, it should be an adult hound. This is going to be difficult."
Eliza screamed, "It's the Hound of Tindalos?!"
"I'm sorry, but I don't know what a Hound of Tindalos is," Freya asked in confusion.
She spent most of her time improving her extraordinary level and was not so attentive to acquiring other knowledge, so her knowledge was relatively narrow.
Eliza glanced at her aunt and the archbishop, and found that they had no intention of speaking, so she took the initiative to explain: "The Hound of Tindalos is a very vague extra-dimensional predatory creature that can travel through time and space. No one knows where they come from. All we know is that this creature has a very high requirement for spiritual concentration and usually only appears in the spiritual world.
Adult Hounds of Tindalos have mastered the laws of time, and only by cutting off the flow of time can their true form be truly attacked.
Time is the most unpredictable law of force. If we want to cut off the flow of time, our attack must reach a certain level and distort the law of time."
Audrey shook her head slightly and said:
"Eliza's explanation is not quite accurate. Ordinary attacks cannot hit an adult Tindalos hound. Only law attacks can do that. And the power of the law contained in our attack must be greater than the target's law control, because the law of time is stronger than other elemental laws.
Theoretically, at the silver level, a transcendent of the same level could not be a match for the Hound of Tindalos.
And I can be sure that the Hound of Tindalos that left the Ruins must have reached adulthood."
There has always been a saying that the Hound of Tindalos means the beginning of disaster and nightmare. Whenever this ominous creature appears, various disasters will inevitably follow.
Suddenly, she felt that establishing a family branch here was a mistake.
Exhaling silently, she gently shook her head to dispel the negative feeling. Clown was a fifth-level transcendent, and it was worth them spending such a huge price to establish a good relationship with him.
Besides, even if a disaster occurs, it is easier for the strong to survive. Now is the biggest change in ten thousand years, and no area is truly safe.
Freya bit her lip and whispered, "Doesn't this mean that Rhine City is now facing three powerful threats?"
She had already written a letter to her beloved, and the other party must have been on the way after receiving the letter. She did not expect the situation to take a sudden turn for the worse and become so corrupt in such a short time.
With cultists, evil beasts, and an even more powerful Hound of Tindalos, Rhine City is likely to be in turmoil.
"Haha, don't worry."
Flanders laughed heartily. His laughter was particularly infectious and gave everyone a sense of security.
He paused, and continued, “We do face three major threats. Although the cultists in the Andes are numerous, Crown is stationed in Zak Town, which is the only way for the cultists to pass through.
Maybe he can't stop all the enemies there, but most of the high-level extraordinary people will definitely pass him and attack us. It's just that the first and second-level extraordinary people who want to attack Rhine City will definitely not succeed."
"The hidden danger of evil beasts in Rhine City was discovered too late, so it became a problem. However, they lack the combat power of the silver level, and it is only a matter of time before they are wiped out by us."
"The most difficult one is the Tindalos Hound. However, this hound is only interested in prey that possesses time powers. Most of the time, it will just lurk in a corner or hide in a distant time stream."
Elisa pouted and smiled, "I wonder how strong the laws that Klauen controls are. Maybe he has a way to deal with the Hound of Tindalos. He is already a fifth-level transcendent."
Audrey nodded slightly. "Then let us pray that the Tindalos hound has just reached adulthood and is only a fourth-level extraordinary creature."
Although she never placed her hopes on others, it felt good to have a strong and trustworthy person to rely on.
Flanders lowered his eyebrows and said silently: "Then let us pray."
The carriage broke the silence of the early morning and arrived at the Holy Fire Cathedral.
The group got off the carriage and came to Flanders' office.
Everyone drank a glass of white wine to refresh themselves and waited for Cavendish and others to arrive.
After a while, Harry knocked on the door twice and came in: "Archbishop, the other bishops are already waiting in the conference room."
"You wait a moment," Flanders stood up and walked out quickly.
After arriving at the conference room, the Archbishop said straight to the point:
"Everyone, we have encountered a new trouble. A Hound of Tindalos escaped from the spirit world. Bishop Savas was killed in battle. The threats we face have increased."
"What kind of monster is the Hound of Tindalos?"
There are also bishops who do not have such a vast knowledge reserve and they do not yet understand what they are facing.
Flanders frowned slightly and explained, "The Tindalos Hound is a predatory creature from another dimension with a very vague shape."
