Chapter 40: A Brutal Kill
"Amazing... In the world I lived in, it was impossible for a youth of the sa age to reach this level.
A walking attack thod, if it were an ordinary enemy, they would have already died in Cass' hands."
This was the first ti Han Dong had seen the strength of a 'Trainee Knight'.
Shocked, Han Dong was also even more thirsty for such strength of fate.
Cass, who had invested 3 fate points in his [Crusade] major talent.
Showing physical strength coupled with combat skills that far exceeded the limits of ordinary people of his age, he knocked back the ghouls that were a head taller than him and had heavily developed muscle as well, perfectly connecting and performing a series of slashes.
Just.....
Ding!
The crisp sound of tal clashing echoed in the basent.
With the Cross Cut, the mont the ghoul's chest was broken open, it imdiately stabbed it, pointing straight at the heart.
Who knew that the sharp end of the silver sword was actually blocked by the black substance covering the heart's surroundings.
"A fully matured ghoul constructing bone armor at a weak point?"
At the sa ti, behind him, Han Dong struck.
A plague energy shot at the bony armor of the precise chest area... As far as the eye could see, the plague was slowly corroding the black sandwich that wrapped around its chest pain.
Cass smiled and prepared to deliver a second stab.
Who knew.
The ghoul that had fallen to the ground while its chest was torn open actually ignored the injury and bounced up through the eruption in its waist and abdon.
The sharp claws sliced sparks directly on Cass' armor, and the powerful force even sent Cass flying.
Bang! (muffled crash)
Cass hit the wall hard, a trail of blood running along the corner of his mouth.
The armor on his chest left five scratches.
The middle one had completely torn through the armor, scraping the skin at the chest... Within seconds, the wound had turned green and pus was flowing out.
And, due to the stare-down with the ghoul during the battle.
The black lines around Cass' eyes, the color deepened, and his thinking had beco problematic, seeing horrific visions at tis...the battle would be greatly affected.
Han Dong frowned, the situation beca unfavorable for his side.
This Cass was honest and had a straightforward nature.
Previously, when he slled danger in the secret passage, he had told Han Dong to stay in the middle while exploring ahead on his own... This matter alone could reflect Cass' character.
" Cass, don't move! Your physical activity will speed up the blood flow and carry the fungus to other parts of the body. If possible, try burning the wound with a fla to remove the fungus."
"But you can't even deal with this thing! I have to..."
" Stop right there!!! I have an idea!"
Han Dong's roar shocked Cass, he did not expect a frail mystic apprentice to be able to roar with such verve.
Han Dong stared at the ghoul, or rather the ghoul's chest area... The plague attack had worked, and the bone layer armor that protected the heart had been weakened to a great extent.
Due to the roar that Han Dong had just emitted, it was also drawing the attention of the ghouls once again.
The battle must be resolved here.
Otherwise, once Cass was thrown down, he would surely be eaten clean.
Aku... (Weird words ca out of the ghoul's mouth)
The ghouls crawled in quickly, the claws easily cutting through concrete floor.
Han Dong cald down and steadied his mind.
Pointing the dagger in his hand at the ghoul's eyes.
With a portion of the energy drained from his brain, a ray of plague energy light hit the ghoul's eyeball with precision.
Vision loss.
This caused the pouncing ghoul's attack to be skewed.
Han Dong dodged in one direction, just in ti to avoid it.
The ghoul that failed to hit its target, its body slamd into the pile of debris in the basent due to inertia, its body buried by the debris.
"Good chance!" As Cass, on the other side of the room, tried to get up to help, a strong tearing sensation in his chest pain made him gasp loudly with one hand...unable to use any energy at all.
That was when.
Cass, whose vision had beco sowhat reshaped, saw a horrific scene.
A woman in red appeared at Han Dong's side at so unknown ti.
This woman was wrapped in a liquid-like layer of sticky evil aura around her body, and the kitchen knife she carried in her hand gave Cass an intuitive and deadly threat.
"What is this... the horrifying vision I saw? Or is it Han Dong's summon?"
Just as Cass was confused...the woman in red moved.
She was fast.
Before the ghoul could crawl out of the pile of waste, the kitchen knife in her hand fell swiftly.
How to put it... the kitchen knife wielding Chen Li actually had the feeling of a 'berserker'.
From afar, before the 'instant shadow' of the first chopper disappeared, the second chopper swiftly cut down.
Even Han Dong was surprised.
The Chen Li in the Destiny Space didn't have such a level at all....
"Is this the power-boosting effect of the "Holy Grail"? The "Combat Ability" changed from E
to D- alone, that's a huge increase!?"
In short order.
The kitchen knife cuts off all the ghoul's limbs.
At the sa ti, a chain found in the basent was used to strangle the ghoul's neck to death so that the sharp teeth in its mouth could not pose a threat.
The final blow would be delivered by Han Dong.
The skeletal layer of the heart at the chest had been completely corroded.
The short blade was aid at the heart and pierced with precision.
"Ah!!! ~"
The strange screams echoed through the basent, even being heard by the policen guarding the periter of the building.
After the body twitched a few tis, the ghoul no longer moved.
Han Dong hurriedly produced a syringe and extracted the mature ghoul's "cellular essence" from the blind spot where Cass couldn't see it... and quietly transferred one of the ghoul's arms into the brain space.
Cass, whose vision was blurred by pain, did not see all of this.
At the sa ti, he was so caught up in Han Dong's surprise at killing the Mature Ghoul that he didn't notice Han Dong's subsequent 'little move' at all.
"Andeva! You're...amazing!"
"Didn't I tell you to hold still...huh? Has the infection stopped?"
When Han Dong, who had done all this, looked at Cass, the infected wound on his chest had been fully disinfected.
As for the disinfection tool, it was a holy water bomb.
The holy water inside had a great restraining effect on this kind of eerie fungus brought out of the cetery, and had a better effect than fla burns.
However, Cass was still slightly weakened and rested for a while before slowly recovering.
"This is your 'summon'!
I've only heard of the guys who majored in [Control] being able to drive away evil spirits, call on beasts or forge ties with the Void, but I didn't expect [Mysticism] to be able to do that?"
"Just an unexpected bonus."
Since Cass said so, Han Dong could only go along with his idea and conceal it.
"No wonder you're so weak, yet you have 2 Fate Points allocated to [Mysticism], it seems like you're using them all for the strengthening of your summons... Aweso!"
During the conversation.
Chen Li seed to be rather afraid of the living, and after asking Han Dong's permission, she quietly returned to the prison.
Cass had seen many similar images of summoned beasts disappearing and wasn't surprised.
"Go! We must report on the ghoul's lair as soon as possible... Otherwise, this civilian area will be in big trouble."
Cass even took out the burlap sack and put away the ghoul's mutilated limbs as evidence to complete the "bounty".
"Huh... why is there a hand missing?"
"It should have been corrupted by the 'plague energy'." Han Dong said softly.
"And yes, you're a Fate weapon holder."
Cass didn't have any doubts and left the basent with Han Dong, carrying the sack with him.
Soon a professional knight arrived here, and within a short ti, the small ghoul's lair was completely destroyed.
For discovering and reporting the 'ghoul nest', Cass' bounty mission also received an additional 50% bonus.
