Chapter 204 The Fall of Gowell (7)
Stephen looked at the hotel steward, who was as skinny as a burned corpse, gradually walking towards him. The other party's speed seemed to be quite slow, just taking a leisurely stroll, but in fact, his movements were extremely fast!
Every time he blinked and opened his eyes again, he saw that the other person was a few steps closer to him. That skinny figure seemed to have the ability to move instantly, and each step could cover several yards in an instant!
Although it fell into the eyes of Esteban, the hotel housekeeper's movement seemed very abrupt and strange.
The other party clearly just raised his front legs slightly, and then in the blink of an eye, when he landed again, his body had already flashed across several yards in an instant... It was as if time had been cut by an invisible force, cutting off the hotel housekeeper's walking process. Peel away.
But he could still clearly see the clear and deep footprints left by the other party on the snow.
He knew that the other party did not really possess the power of teleportation, but had indeed made steady progress step by step, but he could not discover the process——
"Is it the influence of the buzzing in your head?"
"Is there something wrong with my memory, or is my perception of time becoming dull because of this?"
"Can't I even notice the difference in the passage of time?!"
Despite his panic, Istvan still had a trace of reason left. He looked at the skinny ghost claws that were about to reach out in front of him. He immediately turned the muzzle of his gun and pointed it at the intruder. All three bullets poured out.
At the same time, the casting in the soul body trembled wildly and roared out a scorching wave of fire. The casting mana came out through the palm of the hand and flowed along the gun handle to the bullet chamber of the wheel, pouring all the power as hot as a flame into the gun that was about to be fired. In the warhead.
The cylinder rotated with a click, and the trigger drove the hammer to strike the primer. The hot air flow from the explosion of the propellant further activated the heat just hidden in the warhead.
Orange-red light burst out from inside the warhead, and the heat of casting was fully activated while the warhead was in flight. The conical brass warhead burned red in an instant, as if it had just been taken out of the furnace!
But in fact, it is not an easy task to infuse secret mana into ordinary weapons/tools.
Although the secret transmission follows the principles of nature, the sexual magic power absorbed by practicing the principles is actually energy on the spiritual level. When it is weak at the beginning, it can only affect the minds of mortals, but cannot cause specific effects on the material world. Influence.
Most of the low-level secret messengers, unless they have mastered special secrets, are unable to transfer their sexual magic power into ordinary weapons. With the long-range attack power of bullets/arrows and other weapons, they can target all eyes. Applies encrypted effects to targets outside range.
But the only way to truly have the power of principles that is extremely compatible with ordinary weapons is to cast and blade them.
Casting is the principle of technology, industry and forging. All mundane weapons and objects in the waking world are products of the movement of the Forging Code, and are inseparably linked to the Forging Code.
Therefore, even a first-level caster can easily attach the casting power to mundane objects.
But most low-level casters only use mana to help with forging and shaping, and rarely use it directly for fighting - that is a redundant and useless waste. It is better to use mana to cast extremely sharp swords or It is a sophisticated and labor-saving machine, and this is the truly efficient way to use it!
Estevan naturally knows this truth, but at this moment, he can no longer hold his hand - the hotel housekeeper with extremely amazing vitality is holding a sharp dagger that can easily tear him apart with a single stroke!
According to his preliminary judgment, the sharp dagger had at least a third-level blade, and its sharpness was comparable to the ladder blades previously captured by the cult.
Even if his casting phase has grown to the limit of the second level, the power of the secret phase feedback can already make his skin tough enough to withstand the hard cutting of ordinary blunt blades.
But even so, Istvan could not resist the casual pull of the dagger in the hotel housekeeper's hand.
Just now, he was blocked by the deformed little monster on the mountainside and had to waste some time before being chased by the angry monster.
At that time, he had just exerted all his strength and made a sideways shoulder-bump, hitting the chest of the deformed little monster.
He had already accumulated enough momentum as he ran down the mountain. Coupled with the tough physique given by the casting phase - this heavy shoulder collision directly caused the deformed monster to fall back and fly out, spitting out blood.
Istvan also stopped because of this collision. The moment he landed, he continuously pulled the trigger, pouring all the remaining bullets into the head of the aberrant - although such an attack would definitely not be able to kill this crazy monster. But it must also be possible to make him lose consciousness temporarily to prevent the other party from joining forces with the hotel housekeeper to hunt him down.
So when the aberrant fell to the ground with a violent explosion, his skull was already embedded with six bright yellow warheads.
And because of this collision, Istvan only had two seconds to shoot before being chased by the furiously roaring hotel steward, who attacked him with a sharp dagger.
The dagger shone sharply and coldly in the gray wind and snow, just like the colorful butterflies dancing around the flowers.
The blade butterfly danced gently and briskly, and the jet black metal at the center of the butterfly dance was easily carved into several bright blood flowers.
Even if Istvan tried his best to dodge and move, he couldn't stop the bloody marks on his body one after another. The skin and flesh that used to be extremely hard were now as fragile as butter on a hot knife.
In desperation, he could only bear the price of two more visible bone wounds on his calf. He suddenly raised his leg and kicked the hotel housekeeper squarely in the waist and abdomen.
He also used his strength to distance himself and threw the detonator he had left behind.
The flames suddenly exploded, and the shock wave carried the heat wave and hit Istvan hard on the back. He just continued to stride forward without looking back.
Fortunately, the hotel housekeeper did not continue to catch up. Through the perception of his heart, Istvan seemed to sense that the other party was approaching the aberrant... Could it be that he was distracted because the watchdog was injured?
Although Istvan is very confused as to why the Cowell Hotel can master the method of taming and controlling the aberrations - controlling the aberrations has been an unsolvable problem that has plagued the hidden world for thousands of years.
"Perhaps this is the real reason why the leader sent us here... If the cult can completely master the method of taming aberrations, I am afraid that even the Anti-Suppression Bureau will no longer be able to hinder us!"
Due to the distraction of the pursuer, Istvan was able to take a moment to breathe.
He even used his energy to jog while activating his mind and heart to prevent further deterioration of the injury. And reloaded the revolver.
Then, as Istvan continued to rush to join the believers at the foot of the cliff, he encountered a sneak attack by a mortal who was supposed to have been brainwashed and diverted from the target of hatred, and the previous scene happened.
