A peerless killer possessing a cat girl assassin from another world

"I understand. Let's get started."

Aido picked up the axe and hammer and left.

"Please wait a moment, all three..."

Kurt's voice came from a rooftop somewhere.

"Kurt von Braun, what are you doing here? Go away, the fight is over."

"Your Majesty, I am here to provide information."

"You have intelligence too?"

"Well, thanks to the unremitting efforts of the adventurers these days, the guild has collected a lot of useful data."

"Well, you already know what's going to happen..."

"...Your Majesty is very busy, so it's normal that he doesn't know..."

Whether intentional or not, there was a hint of sarcasm in Kurt's words.

"Then tell me quickly."

"Well, after collecting and studying the reports provided by adventurers and guild investigators, as well as combat data, I discovered some characteristics of the anomaly outside the city."

"It is visible to the naked eye. They cannot be destroyed by ordinary means because there is an endless desert outside the city. As long as the soul is still there, it can be restored under the control of some power."

"Well, these are well-known facts."

Isabella said.

"Then let's get to the point."

"This is a point that is not important to some of you."

"The undead resurrected in the sandstorm will imitate their behavior patterns in life to varying degrees..."

"You mean to say that we are likely to face..."

Karen seemed to realize something and spoke first.

"That's right, Shadow One of the Shadow Cult... Although he has not yet revealed any clues, what we may have to face... is the heroic souls... that have been buried here generation after generation since the birth of the Muchashar Desert..."

"..."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present fell silent at the same time.

Behemoth's dragon soul itself is not the biggest trouble.

The biggest challenge now is how to cope with everything it brings.

How long ago was Muchashar born?

No one knows.

How many lives are buried in this sea of ​​sand?

There are countless.

How many powerful ones died here?

"If the records of the tribe are correct, hundreds of thousands of souls were buried here during the 'Great War' alone..."

Edo said.

“There are also countless desert people who died here in natural disasters.”

Karen added.

"The 'sword' of the ancient Fajia Empire seems to be buried here as well..."

Isabella's tone was rarely heavy.

"Who?"

"The 'Thirteen Fangs' of the Faga Empire... the 'Meteoric Sword' Perniche..."

......

The hotel was empty because all the guests had left. However, Zora was still standing at the front desk, peeling some unknown nuts leisurely as usual.

Suddenly, the door of the hotel was flung open and a white figure rushed in.

"Wu Yue...did you forget to bring anything?"

"Sister Zora... I thought Teacher Karen had some plans for you..."

"I would like to have one... but it's a pity that Lord Karen doesn't think highly of me... By the way, what's the situation outside now? Is this city going to be destroyed?"

"...Why do you think so?"

"Because after this place is gone, the college will be able to arrange for me to go somewhere else. I don't want to stay here. It's so busy."

Uh... that's a pretty negative thought...

"I'm sorry, Sister Zora, I have something urgent to do... I'll leave first..."

"it is good......"

Wu Yue walked straight to the backyard. Shuang Tian was already excited and running around in the yard. As soon as he saw Wu Yue, he immediately came over.

"Shuangtian must be impatient... let's go."

"Ouch——"

Frost Sky howled toward the sky as usual, then lifted the effects of Morse magic and returned to normal.

Wu Yue jumped onto Shuangtian's back and patted the sturdy body under him.

"Set off."

......

"Prepare!"

"put!"

boom! ! !

Rune Cannon.

The dwarves developed the rune research and creation.

The first time it was put into actual use on the battlefield.

Compared to the rune ballistae in Reinhardt City, the dwarves' skills are obviously more sophisticated.

After all, dwarves have been playing with gunpowder and weapons craftsmanship tens of thousands of years ago.

However, the continuous wars have dragged down various races and have actually caused the technological level of the entire continent to regress.

In addition, the importance and practicality of magic far exceeds that of technology, and no one would think of researching those useless machines.

Except for the dwarves.

Forging, construction, runes, magic.

When the dwarves who were proficient in these aspects integrated these technologies, finally...the rune cannon named "Bronzebeard" came into being.

boom! ! !

The magic bullet spun and rubbed against the air, producing dazzling sparks. It exploded after landing on the ground, raising a cloud of yellow sand and leaving behind a huge crater. The sand undead affected by the explosion were also torn into pieces in an instant and turned back into scattered sand.

"The power is pretty good."

Shi Dong smelled the smell of gunpowder in the air and was very satisfied with the rune cannon.

"It looks like a big show, but it's just like this..."

Looking at the dragon head in the sandstorm, Shi Dong narrowed his eyes slightly with some disdain.

"Sir, look over there!"

A dwarf soldier beside him pointed into the distance and shouted.

"what?"

Shi Dong looked in that direction.

Several huge shadows appeared in the sandstorm.

The long and curved tail is raised high, and there seems to be a faint flash of light.

"what is that......"

Looks like a monster scorpion...

Before Shi Dong could open his eyes and take a closer look, a flash of light shot out in the blink of an eye and hit the city wall in front of him in an instant.

Even Friedham's alloy outer wall could not completely block the attack. The residual power of the light shot out from the other end of the wall and reached the distant Kush Mountains, causing debris to fly everywhere.

"I......"

While being surprised at the extraordinary penetrating power of the light, Shi Dong suddenly remembered a desert monster that only existed in legends.

Amicia (Amethyst Giant Scorpion).

The tail has an amethyst with the same effect as a magic converter. It can collect magic elements in the air and then shoot it out with an extremely high magic compression rate. The penetrating power... is just as we have seen.

"Shouldn't this thing be extinct long ago?"

Since the amethyst at the tail is extremely precious and is also an excellent material for making staffs, even though these big guys are extremely dangerous, there are still people willing to pay high prices and entrust adventurers to hunt them.

A closer look revealed that those giant scorpions were not real entities either, but temporary bodies made of sand. Only the amethyst scorpion tail was original...

"Aim at those glowing targets and fire!"

Shi Dong ordered again.

The scorching shells pierced through layers of sandstorms and headed straight for the dozens of giant scorpions.

Most of the shells landed safely on the ground, but some of them were triggered and exploded in mid-air.

"What is it this time?"

The tall giant scorpion can still be seen clearly, but what exactly intercepted the artillery shell this time?

Stone raised the telescope.

It didn't matter that he just took a look. The scene in front of him made Shi Dong break out in a cold sweat.

There were several figures in the sandstorm, running... yes, "running" in the messy formation of the undead.

Some of them bent their bows and shot arrows with powerful magical fluctuations, exploding the shells in the air.

Some of them were wielding rusty swords, spears, and halberds, and they actually split the shells in two.

What's more, a faint magic circle appeared around him. Although most of the spells were interrupted, a small part of the magic still flew out successfully, collided with the shells, and created a burst of fireworks.

"This is weird..."

Shi Dong slowly put down the telescope and muttered to himself.

By the way, it has been a while since we discovered the sandstorm, but it seems that they are moving very slowly, and they are still quite a distance away from the city wall...

And...after observing for a period of time, Stone found that their movement patterns were very interesting.

It seems that the dragon-shaped sandstorm is their core.

Or should we say "brain"?

It is precisely because of its existence that the undead can display the kind of organization they just showed.

They are one.
