Shadow Apostle

"dad."

The childish voice of the little mouse was particularly obvious in the hellish scene.

The secret room at this time was like before the end.

The remaining whale oil is still burning brightly.

Moreover, as soon as the door was kicked open, the oxygen from outside was drawn in, making the flames in the secret room more intense.

Large human-faced rats make the same scream as normal rats.

The same goes for running around in the secret room.

In order to escape to the giant mouse hole in the corner, he even went through the sea of ​​fire and turned into a ball of fire.

It's like running away from the most terrifying thing.

At this time, the door that was kicked open became the mice's last hope for survival.

They no longer stared at the mouse hole, but turned around and ran, rushing towards the open iron door like a tide.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Minnie's face turned pale, she let out a scream, and nimbly grabbed Jessica's skirt. With a few movements, she ran up to her back and grabbed the clothes, and then she timidly screamed out. That title that made her heart ache.

At the same time, the scene of thousands of rats running around made Miss Berndt feel her scalp numb, and she instinctively took a few steps to the side to get out of the way of the fleeing team.

Jessica shook her head. She thought she was going to be involved in a tough battle with the human-faced mouse, but she didn't expect that the enemy she had imagined had already fled.

Viscount Star, who had been huddled in the corner, slowly raised his head as if he heard his daughter's call.

"M...Ni..."

At this time, Viscount Star had lost his original high spirits.

His eyes were dull, his expression was dull, and even his movements had become sluggish.

However, Horst was standing not far away, with Serena in his hand facing Viscount Star's head.

Serena's power has been increased to the maximum.

The gear speed at the hammer position has reached its limit.

Finger on trigger.

Horst's hands were trembling slightly.

This was the first time he raised a gun and faced a real human being instead of a monster.

Not to mention in front of his daughter.

It's not easy to pull the trigger.

But the pressure from the other side is getting stronger and stronger, and the sense of threat is getting bigger and bigger.

This made him decisively pull the trigger.

Steam spurted out of the grip.

The recoil caused both feet to slide back a few centimeters.

Three rounds of explosive bullets sprayed out of the muzzle, instantly crossing a distance of several meters and hitting Viscount Star.

Eyebrows and eyes.

However, something strange happened.

Three bullets fired at full power had no effect.

In Horst's spiritual perception, the shadow of a hairy toad covered Viscount Star's body like a shell.

As soon as the bullet got close, it turned into nothingness.

It didn't even have an effect.

It's like the bullet never existed.

It's just a virtual image. Once the bullet disappears, the virtual image disappears as well.

But Horst couldn't help but take two steps back, with surprise in his eyes.

"dad."

After all, she was just a child. When she heard her father's call, Minnie even ignored the sound of the gunshots and forgot what her father had just done. Only her father's figure remained in her eyes, and she ran towards Viscount Star without thinking.

"Don't go there!"

Horst and Jessica almost shouted in unison.

They ignored the nature between father and daughter, and by the time they found out, Minnie had already rushed out.

The two immediately tried to stop her, but the human-faced mouse was too fast.

As soon as Jessica stretched out her hand, Minnie was getting closer and closer to Viscount Star.

"M...Ni..."

A smile appeared on his blank face, and he opened his arms like a kind father.

Seeing Minnie getting closer and closer to Viscount Star, Horst took a step across.

Standing between father and daughter.

However, something strange happened.

Before Horst could hug the little mouse, her body suddenly seemed to be grabbed by a big invisible hand.

The body quickly flew into the air, over Horst's head who was blocking the way, and flew towards her father, Viscount Star.

"You're finally back with daddy."

Viscount Star grabbed his daughter's mouse-like body with both hands, and the confusion and sluggishness that had just appeared on his face quickly disappeared.

The harshness and madness that terrified Minnie before appeared again.

"It's still too late, there's still time, he's still waiting for you."

As he spoke, in his daughter's unbelievable and frightened eyes, His Excellency the Viscount's hands had already strangled her neck.

The little mouse-like neck is so soft and tender, so slender that it can be held with one hand.

"I'll send you to see him right now."

As he said that, under Minnie's unbelievable and frightened eyes, His Excellency the Viscount twisted his hands to the left and right.

"Daddy doesn't want it."

The little mouse only had time to let out a scream before its neck was already twisted to one side.

The moment Minnie's neck was about to be broken, a finger finally stretched out and touched her body at the last moment.

"Characteristics, compassion."

"Holy, holy is the mercy of the Lord. I share with you all the sufferings in this world."

The sacred song lingers silently in the soul.

Divine light connects two ladies, one large and one small, through touching hands.

The sinful hand twisted the neck, making a snapping sound.

Miss Burnt and Minnie both looked pained.

His face also became extremely ugly.

But their necks were not broken, and both of them were still breathing.

His Excellency the Viscount wanted to try again, but Horst would not give him a chance.

One mistake is enough.

Horst turned around and drew his sword with a loud sound.

The stabbing sword slashed down and severely cut Viscount Star's wrist.

The long-range bullets disappear, but the tightly held sword does not.

The stabbing sword cut into the Viscount's wrist without any hindrance, cutting one of his hands in two.

While the Viscount was holding his wrist and complaining of pain, Jessica took over the little mouse in a tacit understanding.

She had already sensed Horst's thoughts and pressed Little Minnie hard on her chest, blocking her view.

The blood-stained sword spun around, and then Horst held the sword in both hands and stepped forward.

The sense of threat coming from Viscount Star is getting bigger and bigger. No matter what count he is, he cannot be allowed to continue to live.

Otherwise no one can survive.

So swing your sword and thrust straight.

The sharp sword was accurately inserted into his throat and sealed with one stroke.

However, Horst's expression changed. He immediately let go of the handle of the rapier, took Jessica's arm and quickly retreated.

Because he found that the stabbing sword was stuck in the Viscount's muscles and could not get in or out.

It means he is not dead at all.

Just a few steps away from Jessica and Minnie, Viscount Star had already undergone tremendous changes.

The clothes began to fall apart one by one, the skin also tore rapidly, and the muscles all over the body expanded rapidly, stretching the body into distortion.

The body grew bigger and bigger, reaching a height of five meters in a blink of an eye, and its head even reached the roof of the secret room.

The whole person turned into a monster with closed eyes, looking like a crouching toad.

"Ah~~"

Horst was okay, but Miss Berndt had already let out a scream, a look of horror appeared on her face, and she bit her lip tightly to control the unconscious scream.

After all, although this thing was not as good as the phantom of the real body that Horst saw directly at that time, it was still quite weird. It had such a great impact on the spirit that Miss Berndt could not adapt to it for a while.

Before Horst could make any move, the two huge claws of the toad-like monster had been raised high and slammed onto the ground.

An invisible shock wave centered on the location where it struck and quickly spread to all sides.

Wherever the shock wave reaches, the earth shakes.

At this time, the ground was like an earthquake, everything was swaying, gravel and soil were falling from above the head from time to time, and even the roof was cracked with large and small cracks.

The shaking was not over yet, and before Horst could regain his balance, he saw the monster transformed by the Viscount raised its claws again.

Again?

This time, the claws did not fall, but Horst felt a warning signal in his heart for no reason.

dangerous?

His mind was racing. Horst had just subconsciously moved half a step later when he felt his body being held by a huge force.

It was like being held by an invisible hand.

It was exactly the same as what happened to Minnie just now.

Not only him, but the other two ladies were also held tightly by invisible forces just like him.

The huge force squeezed the bones of the three people and creaked. For some reason, the strength in the body seemed to be being sucked away every moment. Their bodies became softer and weaker, and their strength became smaller and smaller. Even if they twisted and struggled desperately, they could not escape. .

But Horst could, because he had moved half a step in time before.

Just enough for him to step on a shadow cast by the fire.

As the huge invisible hand was clenching tighter and tighter, Horst suddenly disappeared out of thin air. The power of the invisible hand failed, causing the air where he was originally to emit a violent explosion.

The next moment, Horst had appeared a few steps away, picked up the whale oil barrel brought in by Jessica and Minnie, and threw it at the monster.

One barrel, two barrels.

Hit the monster accurately.

Since the transformation was completed, the toad-shaped body has replaced the shadow around the original body, so the whale oil barrel successfully exploded on the monster's body, and the viscous whale oil flowed down the monster's huge body.

Then, the third bucket.

While throwing the oil drum, Horst lifted Serena up.

One shot, two shots, and the third shot finally hit the flying whale oil barrel. With a flash of fire, the oil barrel exploded suddenly.

The power of the wooden barrel was not great, but it was enough to ignite the whale oil on the monster's body. For a moment, the monster turned into a huge burning fireball. In the center of the fireball, the body was twisting desperately, and it made ear-piercing roars from time to time.

But even so, no serious damage could be seen on the monster's dark skin in the firelight, and the invisible hands were still holding Jessica and Minnie tightly, making them look more and more painful.

Damn it, can't this hurt it?

Seeing that the situation of the two ladies was getting more and more critical, Jessica even screamed in pain unbearably.

Horst was anxious.

Damn it, does this guy have no weaknesses?

The world of mystery has always been mutually restrained, and there can be no mystery without weaknesses.

I must have overlooked something and not discovered its weakness.

It must have a weakness. Where is its weakness? What did I overlook?

Damn it, it would be nice to see some signs.

With this thought in mind, my eyes searched the secret room as hard as I could, but there were soaring firelights and swaying shadows everywhere.

Um?

Horst suddenly felt something and stopped looking around.

A beating shadow made his heart move.

There happened to be a flame there, casting the monster's shadow in the middle of the secret room, and the shadow happened to envelop a dark thing inside.

The cracked altar.
