Chapter 188 The Penitent

That weird Afternoon Town invaded the real Afternoon Town? Derrick vaguely understood what the "chief" said, and had a rough guess about the reason for this kind of thing.

He suspected that when Mr. Fool pulled himself out of that strange afternoon town, he broke the balance there and let the power seep out.

This can also explain why "Demon Hunter" Colin Iliad didn't disappear on the spot after he repeated his attempt.

Just when Derrick was thinking about what kind of changes this would bring, Colin, the "chief" of the six-member council, took out a handful of shimmering dust from one of the hidden compartments of the belt, and dusted them Sprinkled into the air.

The dust suddenly exploded, spraying out a silvery white light, which was very obvious in the dark and gloomy environment.

Derrick, Joshua, and Heim all knew the meaning of this signal, that is, don't run around, stay where you are, watch out for possible incoming enemies, and wait for rescue!

Undoubtedly, this is for the exploration groups scattered throughout the rest of Afternoon Town!

"Demon Hunter" Colin released three consecutive signals in the interval of lightning, and then turned sideways to Derrick and the others:

"We meet them in order from near to far.

"Be careful on the road."

"Yes, chief!" Derrick had forgotten the grievance just now, and only hoped to help his companion as soon as possible.

According to Colin's instructions, he walked on the left side of the team. On the other side was Joshua, who was wearing red gloves and holding an iron black straight sword. "Demon Hunter" was about three steps away.

The frequency of high-altitude lightning alternates relatively quickly, and the gloomy afternoon town is sometimes bright and sometimes dark, and the candlelight reflected in each window is flickering, peaceful and quiet.

Derrick was no longer the rookie at the time. Although he was nervous at this moment, the palm holding the "Hurricane Axe" was not sweating, and his eyes moved back and forth deftly, guarding against monsters that might suddenly jump out of the buildings on both sides.

A flash of lightning passed by, and the world returned to darkness. The candlelight in the afternoon town was dotted, as if waiting for travelers who needed to stay overnight.

And the animal skin lantern in Heim's hand scattered a dim yellow light, but it couldn't reach far, and it was not as effective as Derrick's night vision ability.

Its only function seems to be to dispel the dense darkness around it.

At this moment, Derrick's neck suddenly felt cool, and there was no cold wind blowing around!

Subconsciously, he didn't turn back directly, he took a step diagonally, turned his body halfway, and looked behind him out of the corner of his eye.

He saw Heim, who was nearly 2.3 meters tall, staring at him with a gloomy expression, and slashed the big and broad straight sword in his hand!

boom!

Derrick rolled all over his body to avoid the blow, and the sound of fierce wind still seemed to be echoing in his ears.

Immediately afterwards, he heard the voice of "Chief":

"What's wrong?"

"Heim attacked me!" Derrick rolled in the direction of "Demon Hunter" Colin and stood up.

"Me?" Heinm asked with a puzzled face, holding an animal skin lantern in one hand and a large straight sword in the other.

Colin glanced at Derrick:

"I didn't notice any unusual behavior from him."

While speaking, two dark green symbols stood out in the eyes of this "demon hunter".

He looked around and said:

"Can the attacker change into Heim?"

Before he finished speaking, the straight silver sword held tightly in his right hand slammed back!

puff!

Amidst the silent collision, a figure emerged from the dark and gloomy environment. He had gray and messy hair, deep nasolabial folds, and vicissitudes and deep light blue eyes. The silver straight sword with light gray ointment is almost exactly the same as "Demon Hunter" Colin, the only difference is that he has a gloomy expression and a dull complexion.

Puff puff!

The two silver straight swords collided continuously in mid-air, striking out sparks.

At the same time, Colin Iliad shouted in a deep voice:

"Light!"

Light? Derrick instinctively raised his hands, clasped them in front of his mouth and nose.

At this moment, he found three figures running out of the surrounding darkness, one was the tall and strong Heim, the other was Joshua wearing red gloves, and the other was Dai Li who was tall and still had a childlike face. Grab yourself!

Derrick didn't panic, and according to the "chief"'s order, let the relatively clear brilliance be released from the body.

The three figures seemed to be very afraid of this, and while raising their palms to block their faces, they tried to escape to the side.

However, how could their speed compare to light.

The clear brilliance illuminated the surrounding area, and the three figures were completely submerged inside.

They opened their mouths and let out a silent scream, but it quickly faded away.

The light surged, bringing the two "demon hunters" in the fierce battle together into the bright field, one of them immediately became stiff and slow in movement, and then lost its color, completely dark.

puff!

The straight silver sword coated with light gray ointment pierced through the monster, but it seemed to stab the invisible air without causing any damage.

At this moment, the dark monster suddenly burned by itself, split into twisted shadows one after another, and melted inch by inch in the light and flames.

"Demon Hunter" Colin withdrew the silver straight sword, turned his head to Derrick and the others:

"This time the monster is our own shadow.

"Their weakness is, the bright light!"

While speaking, the "chief" of the six-member council group burst out with bright and holy morning light, illuminating the entire street like dawn.

This is an extraordinary ability that can be acquired by the "Warrior" path at the "Dawn Knight" stage. The reason why "Demon Hunter" Colin didn't use it at first was because the effect was too obvious, and he didn't know what accidents it would cause. Now, he already knows The weakness of those monsters in afternoon town!

The morning light created by the "chief" is like a field. Heinm gave up his plan to use a similar extraordinary ability, and still carried the animal skin lantern. Together with Derrick and Joshua, he followed Colin Iliad and turned to another street.

It didn't take long for a group of four people to arrive at a church that was mostly collapsed.

This church originally had a tall tower, and the overall use of classical stone pillars and masonry arches was heavy and gloomy.

Derrick and the others followed the "Chief" through the gate that was too wide for giants, and came to the prayer hall. They saw that the statue of the god here had been destroyed, but the candles on the altar had been lit by someone.

In front of the altar, a figure in a simple white robe crawled there, praying in a low voice, which could not be heard.

"Not one of us." Heinm, who also had night vision ability, was the tallest and immediately noticed the anomaly.

This means that it wasn't the monsters transformed from the shadows of our team members... Derrick helped Heim express the hidden meaning in his heart.

And this means the unknown, and the unknown often means very dangerous!

"There should have been an exploration team here." Colin restrained himself from the range of the dawn, so as not to stimulate the white-robed figure.

Heim, Joshua, and Derrick fell silent for a while without saying a word. In such a scene, if the exploration team didn't show up immediately, it basically meant that the ending was not very good.

While they were thinking about it, two men in tight black clothes stepped out from the door on the right side of the hall. They were the two members of the church exploration team.

"Chief, those shadows, there is something wrong with those shadows! La Roja was swallowed by his own shadow!" One member of the exploration team glanced at Colin the Demon Hunter and said excitedly and frightened at once.

Has someone sacrificed already... With a heavy heart, Derrick saw the morning light spread around him expand and include the two members of the exploration team.

The expressions of the two team members suddenly became ferocious, but their bodies rapidly dimmed. After only two seconds, they disappeared completely like shadows illuminated by light.

Clap clap!

One after another, white bones and balls of flesh and blood fell from their bodies and hit the floor.

Bits of light are slowly emanating from these wreckages.

Colin withdrew his gaze and said expressionlessly:

"Go to that clergyman first and listen to what it is praying."

Derrick and the others nodded silently, and walked towards the collapsed statue step by step.

After ten or so steps, they saw clearly the appearance of the white-robed figure from the side. It was a middle-aged man with a deep outline and tears streaming down his face.

The cleric's face almost touched the floor tiles, muttering to himself:

"Almighty Lord, I repent, ... tempted Saslier, and the kings frequently came to plot in the palace belonging to the dusk.

"People in this town have also changed at some point, they set up secret altars, held strange ceremonies, and did various things that you do not allow.

"I discovered all this, but it was too late, corruption, blood, darkness, decay, murder, filth and shadows have flooded the land.

"A huge disaster will start from here!"

Such words are repeated over and over again, like a prophet speaking in a deep voice about the inevitable tragic ending.

The great disaster will start from here? Is this the beginning of the abandonment of this land by the "Lord who created everything"? Also, who tempted "Dark Angel" Saslier? The clergyman should have said it, because after the sentence "I repent", there was a gap that could just finish a name...he said it, but the name disappeared by itself? Erased by whom? This priest should have appeared here after the balance was broken in that strange afternoon town before, otherwise he would have been discovered during the last exploration... Derrick flashed many thoughts in a short time.

At this time, he saw the "Chief" step forward and walked to the side of the clergyman in a simple white robe.

…………

Klein woke up from his dream, his eyes closed due to the noon sun shining through the window.

He turned over and got out of bed, and came to the pirate restaurant in a leisurely manner.

When Frank Lee saw him coming, he immediately waved to him:

"Gehrman, I found something new!"

Damn, what the hell is that... Klein immediately raised his heart:

"Your new invention?"

"No, no." Frank shook his head excitedly. "I originally wanted to study the fish in this sea area. They should dream! I tried fishing just now, but I caught a strange thing."
