Chapter 244 Devil Dog
Blocking the sky was a gigantic black dog, its front legs stretched out, revealing sharp claws, its mouth half open, revealing two rows of sharp teeth that were dark red, as if they had been soaked in blood for a long time.
“Be careful!”
Worried that Moriarty would not be able to see the attacking black dog in the dark alley, Angel shouted and summoned two sharp ice spikes at the same time, one end against the ground and the other end facing the sky. She took two steps back and left the black dog's attack range.
Moriarty reacted quickly as well. He rolled in the other direction without caring about his manners. The baseball cap on his head fell to the ground, and his short black hair became messy during the movement.
Seeing two humans in the alley, the huge black dog was even more surprised than the two people who were attacked. It kicked its hind legs on the protruding second-floor balcony, changed its falling direction, and barely avoided the ice spikes that could rip it open, and landed between Angel and Moriarty. Its neck kept turning, looking back and forth at the two people at both ends of the alley, seeming a little hesitant.
“Woo——”
A low growl came from between its clenched fangs. The black dog quickly selected its target - Moriarty. As if it had a deep hatred for it, it kicked its limbs and pounced on the detective who had just crawled up from the ground.
"Bang——"
Angel stepped forward with his right foot, and frost quickly extended from the sole of his foot.
After digesting the Sequence 7 potion, her control over the power of frost was even more proficient than when she first took the witch potion and was promoted to Sequence 7. Her subtle control over the summoned ice was even greater than before.
In the damp alley, ice quickly spread across the ground and the walls on both sides, catching up with the black dog that lunged forward. Then, ice spikes of varying lengths and thicknesses stretched out in front of it, but without exception, all pointed at the strange animal.
Wait, animals, powerful and aggressive animals...
Angel suddenly thought of Moriarty's analysis just now.
"It's 'Devil'!"
At her cry, the black dog was forced to stop to avoid being pierced by the ice spikes, and Moriarty, who was targeted by it, stood up straight, raised his empty right hand, snapped his fingers, and an invisible air bullet flew out and hit the furry forehead of the "demon dog".
Unfortunately, the angle was not good, and the bullet broke a tuft of black hair, causing a splash of blood, but was bounced off by the hard frontal bone.
"Oh!"
The big black dog roared demonstratively, and its body expanded rapidly like a balloon, and instantly turned into a giant dog nearly three meters tall. A pair of huge bat wings grew on its back and slowly opened, and two goat horns covered with strange patterns arched out from behind its ears.
The enlarged demon dog almost filled the entire alley, squeezing out the ice spikes that were originally very deadly to it. It lowered its head from its high position and looked at its target Moriarty. Its eyes were like lava, blood red and shiny. Red flames leaped out of its hair, saliva dripped from its mouth, and a strong smell of sulfur spread in the alley.
It became stronger and more "demon-like".
Amidst the sound of ice breaking, the giant demon dog continued to press towards Moriarty. Its enlarged body limited its speed in the alley, but its strength and pressure increased exponentially compared to before.
Angel summoned several black flames behind it, which drew a slightly curved trajectory and smashed towards the giant dog's back. The cursed flame, which had been invincible before, hit the giant dog's flaming fur, but did not spread and diffuse as quickly as expected. Instead, it mixed with the sulfur fire emerging from the fur, eroding each other, and soon disappeared with a "puff".
Seeing that the attack was ineffective, she directed the last ball of black flame into the sky. The giant demon dog had now pounced in front of Moriarty, waving its spiky claws and slapping the human in front of it.
The next second, the figure of this "magician" turned into a ball of bright yellow flame, appeared next to the black flames shooting into the sky, and appeared above and behind the giant dog.
During the brief period of time when he was in the air before he started to fall, Moriarty stretched out his hands and fired left and right. With the sound of snapping his fingers, air bullets fell like rain, continuously hitting the fragile neck of the giant dog below, and blood splattered into the air.
The demonic hound swiftly arched its body and spun half a circle in the narrow alley, squeezing the bricks on the wall and making them creak. It raised its head amidst the hail of bullets and looked at Moriarty, who was falling from the air at an increasingly faster speed. Its eyes, which were burning with lava, brightened and flames seemed to gush out.
"die!"
It opened its bloody mouth, and along with more sulfur breath, filthy words from the demon language came out of its mouth.
Moriarty, who had been snapping his fingers in the air, suddenly stopped. A look of pain appeared on his face, and he covered his chest with his hands, hunching over as if he had a heart attack.
Then, the falling figure became thinner and smaller, turning into a very roughly cut paper man, covered with mottled rust, like a defective product picked up from a trash can.
The real Moriarty appeared higher in the sky, freed from the influence of the obscene words, and continued to aim with both hands raised, determined to continue suppressing the firepower from high above to the end.
At this time, the inflated body of the demon dog became a hindrance to itself. Blocked by the protruding balconies on both sides, it could not jump onto the roof to chase Moriarty, but soon, it chose another target in the alley.
In the few seconds when the giant dog attacked Moriarty, Angel, who found that the black flame was useless, summoned the ice spikes again and stood between her and the demonic giant dog like a chevaux de frise. At the same time, she took out her revolver and fired her first "Gathering Storm" of the night.
"Bang--"
The extraordinary bullet accurately hit the wound that Moriarty had just made, splashing sparks on the giant dog's steel-hard skull, leaving an indigo mark, and the dog's head also tilted back with the huge impact.
The giant dog, in pain, pounced on her just like it had attacked Moriarty. The ice barriers along the way left blood marks on its giant body, but did not slow it down at all.
With such a hard outer shell, even sharp ice spikes are useless!
Angel held the gun in one hand and pointed forward with the other. His eyes instantly turned into golden vertical pupils. He set the target of "Frenzy" closer and closer to himself, and was looking at his giant demon dog with eyes that seemed to be spewing magma.
"roar--"
A hint of madness flashed in its eyes, but its movements did not pause. Compared with its own madness and desire for killing, "madness" was just a tiny glass of water poured into the lake.
This demon was already on the verge of madness from the killing, so even if a few more were added, the effect would be minimal.
Angel pursed his lips and fired the bullets in the magazine one by one, continuing to attack the mark on the giant dog's head.
"Bang—bang—"
Facing the continuous firing of "Gathering Storm" and Moriarty's air bullets falling from the sky, the giant dog squeezed through the temporarily laid ice spikes and approached Angel. It shook its head with a small hole in its forehead and opened its bloody mouth. The smell of sulfur and the stench of rotten flesh made it almost impossible for Angel to aim.
"boom--"
A red fireball with a bluish tint spit out from the fang-filled mouth and flew towards Angel along the narrow alley. It briefly stopped on the ice shield she had instantly summoned, melted it, penetrated the ice shield, and then hit Angel who was unable to dodge, causing it to explode with a loud bang.
In the scorching flames that quickly melted and evaporated the ice, the giant dog's eyes locked onto the woman who was hit, but the figure suddenly shattered into a burning short staff.
Another substitute...
The demonic hound was about to search for the enemy's traces when another figure fell from the sky. It was Moriarty who had stopped firing air bullets. He held an activated "Sleeping Spell" in each hand and took a diving posture, upside down with his hands raised forward, trying to get the silver piece as close as possible to the enemy below.
Two silver pieces flashed with dark red flames, and the power of tranquility and sleep emanated from them. The giant dog, which was the first to be hit, suddenly had a trace of confusion in its flaming eyes, and its eyelids kept drooping.
"Bang——"
As Moriarty was about to fall to the ground, flames burst out of his body. His figure hit the ground and turned into a ball of sparks and disappeared, revealing Angel who had changed his position with the help of a magic wand.
Bang!
Another extraordinary bullet opened the demon dog's already fragile frontal bone, and the blue mark shattered, revealing the vulnerable brain underneath, with clear grooves on it and black blood flowing out.
The severe pain made the giant dog's confused eyes regain clarity. The black muzzle of a gun was aimed at it, and the next bullet would definitely take its life.
A fierce look flashed in its eyes, and the giant dog opened its huge mouth and roared in the Abyssal Language: "Slow down!"
Angel's finger on the trigger paused immediately.
The giant dog did not use this moment to retreat or escape. Instead, it raised its body and used both claws to draw two almost invisible afterimages as it swept towards the woman holding a gun in front of it.
With a "puff", Moriarty, who had just used a spell to expose the dog's fatal flaw, appeared between the man and the dog, with a mocking smile on his lips hidden under his beard.
The giant dog subconsciously changed its target of attack, and its sharp claws swept across the hateful human again and again, but the expected sense of hitting did not appear, as if it had penetrated the air.
Moriarty appeared like a phantom and disappeared like a phantom again. The giant dog crossed its claws in front of its chest, and its movements paused for a moment.
Just like that, he put his head under the gun.
"Bang--"
The last "Gathering Storm" shot passed through the afterimage of Moriarty with a mocking smile and hit the head of the demon dog. It shot into the skull that had been knocked open by continuous attacks, and turned the not-so-big brain inside into a mess.
