Shadow of the Beautiful World

On Blood Street in Brimstone Harbor, the Aegis demon hunters are doing their final equipment checks.

Blade, who was acting with them, looked curiously at the strange armor on these official demon hunters, the energy pulse guns on their backs, and the strange iron boots in front of them.

This group of demon hunters summoned by Merlin was different from all the demon hunters that Blade had seen before.

Not just the weapons that are armed with technological power, but also their fighting style.

From the day of its birth, the profession of demon hunters has been solitary in most cases. Unless it is some super large-scale events, it is rare to see demon hunters cooperate to do one thing.

However, the Aegis Demon Hunter is an exception.

They are fighters selected by Merlin from among the trusted agents. They have inherited the characteristics of agents that cannot be erased, and they put the mission first in any situation.

Being used to teamwork is the most basic feature for them.

Here, put this on.

While Dao Feng was observing the actions of this group of demon hunters, Merlin walked up to Dao Feng carrying a black box. He patted Dao Feng's thick and strong shoulder, and said to the non-staff agent:

The one just sent to you from the logistics department may not fit well, but it shouldn't be a big problem.

Oh? Do I have a share of these weird equipment?

Blade took the box in Merlin's hand and said:

I haven't seen you for a while, but you have changed from a bare-handed commander to a real wolf school leader. The seven wolf school demon hunters, plus Miss Elsa and you, are already on the verge of disappearing. Reborn.

Not counting.

Merlin shrugged. He looked at his subordinates and said:

They still lack actual combat training. The advantage of being in the system is that at any time, they will not fight alone, but this is also a disadvantage. They are not as good as you old-school demon hunters. They don't have the kind of being alone, facing a desperate situation, The realization of wandering between life and death.

Merlin says:

This will make it very difficult for them to advance in strength. Fortunately, I don't need my subordinates to work hard all the time, so at present, their progress is still within my acceptable range.

Don't be too hard on them.

Blade opened the box Merlin brought, and said:

It took me 10 years to become a senior witcher.

Hey, I don't have 10 years to wait.

Merlin says:

Did you feel it? In recent years, not only the heterogeneous world, but also human society has experienced more and more troubles.

It doesn't matter to me.

Blade took out a set of black, slightly heavy armor from the box, put it in front of his eyes, and said:

As long as there are still vampires to kill, it doesn't matter what the world becomes. Well, speaking of it, this armor is quite interesting.

This strong black man put the heavy armor on his body, and with the sound of fine gears colliding, the armor quickly closed on the body of the blade. In the position of the joints, those gears were constantly adjusted, and after a while, reached The angle that fits the blade's limbs has been determined.

He stood up, moved his shoulders and arms, and the joints of this set of armor flexibly changed direction along with the movement of the blade.

There must be some high technology in it that I don't know about.

The vampire hunter inserted his long silver sword into the scabbard at the back of the armor, and drew the sword a few times. He said to Merlin:

This thing is very suitable for the demon hunters of the bear school. Did you develop it yourself?

That's right.

Merlin answered casually, then pointed to other things in the box, and said to Blade:

Originally there was a set of pulse guns, but I think you may not be able to adapt to that kind of multi-frequency firing weapons in a short time, so I changed you to a more reliable shotgun, equipped with holy silver slugs. Flying I guess you won't like the boots either, so I didn't bring them.

Not bad.

Blade picked up two black shotguns from the box, staggered them in the weapon slots of the armor behind him, and then took his bits and pieces from his original armor.

The Holy Silver Chain Sword, Storm Flying Knife, Garlic Grenade, and a small ball that Merlin had never seen before, with a purple light emitting from its surface.

It's an ultraviolet grenade.

Blade noticed Merlin's gaze, he threw a small ball to Merlin, he said:

This is the weapon that Albert is used to using. She has her own laboratory on the west coast to research this weapon for her. It is said that they are still researching the decomposing enzyme for vampire bloodthirsty. I don't understand it either. Those biological terms, in short, it is said that the thing is quite powerful, as long as one shot is measured, it is enough to make a high-level vampire lose its fighting power in an instant.

Oh, that sounds pretty awesome.

Merlin was playing with the ultraviolet grenade in his hand. He glanced out. On the other side of the monitoring screen on the table, the indifferent blonde beauty, Albert Whistler who came with the blade, was helping Elsa Next, test the latest composite material light armor, as well as various auxiliary weapons issued by s..l.d. for Aegis demon hunters.

Merlin stared back at Blade, and said:

What is your relationship with that girl? Why do I feel that there is something between you...

Don't guess.

Blade's expression changed, and he immediately explained:

We just went on a few hunts together, we were just friends, um, just friends.

Oh fine.

Merlin smiled strangely, and said:

You say it's an ordinary friend, so it's an ordinary friend. I didn't expect such a rough guy like you to have such good fortune... Does the old man object?

cough cough

Dao Feng coughed a few times, it was actually quite interesting to see the embarrassment of this guy who always looked indifferent and always pretended to be cool.

In order to prevent Merlin from talking nonsense, Dao Feng abruptly changed the subject, patted the heavy armor on his body, and said:

This thing is pretty good. I bought it. How much is it?

Huh? Are you sure?

Merlin glanced at Dao Feng, and lightly quoted a price that changed Dao Feng's expression drastically.

A few seconds later, Merlin, holding back his laughter, patted Blade on the shoulder, and he said:

Okay, just kidding. After all, you are also a non-staff agent of S.L.D., a supernatural event consultant for s..l.d. We can still afford a set of armor. This thing should be your year-end bonus this year. After the battle, if there is any need for adjustment, just take your ID card and go to the logistics department of Trident Headquarters to find Dr. Hall, and he will be responsible for helping you repair this thing to the most suitable state.

Merlin, come quickly, the situation is not right!

While Merlin was chatting with Blade, Gatler's voice with a strange face rang through their communicators.

Merlin and Blade glanced at each other, immediately picked up their weapons, and rushed to the watchtower on the top of the mansion on Blood Street. Gartler pointed to the dark tower in the northwest. All the people present were transformed by mutations. Telescopes are needed, and they can also clearly see distant scenes.

bat...

Countless bats fly out from the top of the dark tower like mighty black clouds. These creatures that are always associated with vampires are like real moving clouds, flying towards all directions of Sulfur Harbor. spreading.

And on the edge of the top of the tower, Merlin could see a thin figure wearing a black hood, with his arms outstretched, as if calling for more bats.

swish

Merlin's figure disappeared quickly, and he returned to the crowd in the next second, with a pinched bat already in his hand.

The appearance of this bat is extremely strange.

Its body is still the same, but its head has undergone frightening changes. The entire face of this creature is distorted, and its mouth is constantly torn open in the struggle, showing Three-lobed, the mouth is full of staggered sharp teeth, and the sharp teeth are also filled with disgusting mucus.

No matter how you look at it, it's not normal.

Mutant R!

Nisha who came over after hearing the news only took one look at the bat, then turned pale and said to Merlin:

This is a bat infected by Chad's virus, man! He evolved again, and he manipulated those bats...

Everyone raised their heads and looked at the bats that had been scattered in every direction of Sulfur Harbor, those mighty beasts with a number of nearly 10,000, carrying the mutant virus.

By this time, even the dullest person would have known that things were going badly.

They launched the attack early.

With Merlin's fingers, the ugly screaming bat was crushed into pieces. He stared at the dark tower and said:

They want to mess us up...it's not that easy!

Nisa, let the Blood Knights and the Blood Guards dispatch to cooperate with other forces in the city as quickly as possible to eliminate those infected.

Merlin drew out the silver sword Vlad in the flames that ignited in the air, and he said to the others around him:

There is no time left for you to continue preparing! Now, follow me and launch a strong attack on that damn tower! Let the outer sea fleet prepare for firepower projection, and then wait for my order!

Let the companions in the direction of Todd Mountain also get ready, once the high tower defense line collapses, immediately start to execute the rescue order!

Nissa turned and left without hesitation, to carry out Merlin's order, and the latter glanced at the direction of the tower, and then crushed the positioning stone in his hand.

Accompanied by the precise coordinates being sent to the allies, the next moment, the space gate connecting the border of hell to Sulfur Harbor suddenly opened in the sky before everyone's eyes.

Amidst howls of howling ghosts and howling wolves, between the flames and storms full of sulfur smell, in the border of hell, the lower demons who were driven by Liana to rush into the space gate fell like meteors, like a burst of fire. Like a majestic meteor shower, it slammed into the neighborhood controlled by Dracula near the Dark Tower.

It is very difficult to open the space door to other dimensions in this era of stable dimensions, but it is reasonable to say that Limbo is not actually another dimension, it is connected with the earth dimension itself.

Therefore, it is not difficult for Liana to send demons, but in order not to attract the attention of Belasco, the current owner of Limbo, Liana cannot send too many demons.

However, the thousands of low-ranking demons thrown into Sulfur Harbor are enough now, and before they are killed by Dracula's followers, they will definitely cause great trouble to those vampires.

Seize the time, go!

With Merlin's order, the Aegis demon hunters immediately opened their flying boots, rushed into the sky like a meteor, and rushed towards the dark tower that had been shattered under the attack of the demons.

On the ground, the blood knights of the supreme family have also joined the battlefield, and other forces have not lost their chains at this critical moment. Although the rear was attacked by mutated blood bats, the aliens gathered in the front still followed the original plan. From all directions, a swift and violent attack was launched on the blocks controlled by the dark tower.

For a moment, the area controlled by Dracula was rapidly compressed. Even if a steady stream of vampires rushed out from the dark tower, it would be difficult to block simultaneous attacks from all directions.

But whether it is Merlin or Dracula, they are very clear that the life and death of the cannon fodder cannot determine the trend of the battle. In this collision of top forces, only the leader's victory or defeat can truly determine the battle.

Master Makinos.

Merlin swung his long sword, swinging the sharp blade like a windmill, the dozens of ferocious vampires rushing towards him seemed to be cut open by invisible light, they couldn't hurt Merlin, but Merlin could wantonly Slashing and killing them, these ferocious monsters quickly became ashes and dust constantly flying under Merlin's feet.

While waiting for the Aegis demon hunter to break through the defense line of Dracula's followers like a sharp cone, he said to the Grand Duke waiting in the shadows in the communicator:

Please get ready.

According to our agreement, it is your job to deal with Dracula!

Don't worry, Mr. Merlin.

The deep voice of the Supreme Grand Duke echoed in the communicator, and he said:

I have never forgotten my mission, and I will haunt him for you until you complete everything you need to complete.

very good.

Merlin glanced at the steeple tower shrouded in hazy darkness in front of him. He vaguely saw a figure in silver armor standing on the balcony of the tower looking down.

He said:

Then I will trouble you.
