Covering the sky was a huge black dog. Its forelimbs were straightened out, revealing sharp claws. Its mouth was half-open, and its two rows of sharp teeth were dark red, as if it had been soaked in blood for a long time.
"Watch out!"
Worried that Moriarty would not be able to see the attacking black dog clearly in the dark alley, Angel shouted and summoned two Ice Spike with sharp front ends. One end was against the ground and the other was facing the sky. She took two steps back and left the range of the black dog's attack.
Moriarty also reacted quickly. He rolled in the other direction regardless of his demeanor. The peaked cap on his head fell to the ground, and his short black hair became messy in the movement.
Seeing two humans in the alley, the huge black dog was even more surprised than the two people who were attacked. It kicked on the protruding second-floor balcony and changed the direction of its fall, narrowly avoiding Ice Spike who could disembowel it. It landed between Angel and Moriarty. It kept turning its neck and looked back and forth at the two people at both ends of the alley, seemingly hesitant.
"Woo——"
A low roar came from between its clenched fangs. The black dog quickly selected its target - Moriarty. As if it had a deep hatred for it, it kicked off its limbs and rushed towards Detective who had just climbed up from the ground.
"Bang——"
Angel stepped forward with his right foot, and the sole of his foot quickly extended Frost.
After digesting Sequence 7 Potion, she is now more proficient in mastering the power of Frost than when she was promoted to Sequence 7 after taking Witch Potion, and her subtle control over the summoned ice is far better than before.
In the damp alley, ice spread rapidly on the ground and walls on both sides, catching up with the black dog that rushed forward, and then stretched out Ice Spike of different lengths and thicknesses in front of it, but without exception, they were all pointed at this strange animal.
Wait, animals, powerful and aggressive animals...
Angel suddenly thought of Moriarty's analysis just now.
"It's 'Devil'!"
As she screamed, the black dog was forced to stop to avoid being pierced into the body by Ice Spike, and the Moriarty it was targeting also stood up straight, raised his empty right hand forward, snapped his fingers, and an invisible Air Bullet flew out and hit "Devil Dog"'s furry forehead.
Unfortunately, the angle was not good. The bullet broke off a bunch of black hair and shot out a ball of blood, but it was bounced off by the hard forehead bone.
"Ho!"
The big black dog roared demonstratively, and its body expanded rapidly like a balloon. In an instant, it turned into a giant dog nearly three meters tall. A pair of huge bat wings sprouted from its back, slowly opening, and two horns covered with strange patterns protruded from behind its ears.
After the expansion, Devil Hound almost occupied the entire alley, squeezing out the Ice Spike that was originally very deadly to it. The head on the high place lowered, looking at its target Moriarty, its eyes seemed to contain lava, blood red and shiny, red flames jumped out of the hair, saliva dripped from the mouth, and the strong smell of sulfur spread in the alley.
It became stronger and more like "Devil".
Amidst the sound of ice breaking, Devil Hound continued to squeeze towards Moriarty. Its enlarged body limited its speed in the alley, but compared to before, its strength and pressure were doubled.
Angel summoned several Black Flames behind it, and struck the giant dog's back in a slightly arcuate trajectory. The previously unfavorable Cursed Flame hit the giant dog's flaming fur, but it did not spread as quickly as expected. Instead, it mixed with the sulfur fire emerging from the hair, corroding each other, and soon disappeared with a "poof".
Seeing that the attack was ineffective, she led the last group of Black Flame into the sky. Devil Hound had already rushed in front of Moriarty, waving its spiked dog claws at the humans in front of it.
The next second, the figure of "Magician" turned into a bright yellow flame and appeared next to Black Flame shooting into the sky, appearing above and behind the giant dog.
During the short period of time before it started to fall, Moriarty stretched his hands forward and opened his bow left and right. There was a sound of fingers, and Air Bullet fell like rain, hitting the fragile neck of the giant dog below continuously, and blood flowers splashed up.
Devil Hound nimbly arched its body and spun half a circle in the narrow alley, squeezing the bricks on the wall until it creaked. It raised its head against the rain of bullets and looked at Moriarty, which was gradually accelerating its descent in the air. Its eyes burning with lava brightened, and fire seemed to spurt out.
"Death!"
It opened its bloody mouth, and with more sulfurous breath, words full of filth originated from Devil Language blurted out.
Moriarty, who was snapping his fingers in the air, suddenly stopped. He looked Affliction, covered his chest with both hands, and arched his body as if he was having a heart attack.
Then, the falling figure became thinner and smaller, turning into an extremely rough-cut Paper Figurine. It was covered with mottled rust, like a defective product picked out of a trash can.
The real Moriarty appeared higher in the sky, getting rid of the effect of the dirty words, and continued to raise his hands to aim, intending to suppress the condescending firepower to the end.
At this time, Devil Hound's inflated body became its own obstacle. Blocked by the raised balconies on both sides, it could not jump to the roof to pursue Moriarty, but soon, it chose another target in the alley.
A few seconds after the giant dog attacked Moriarty, Angel, who found Black Flame useless, had summoned ice spikes again, standing between her and Devil Hound like a horse. At the same time, she took out her revolver and shot her first "Storm Convergence" tonight.
"Bang——"
Extraordinary Bullet accurately hit the wound just made by Moriarty, sparks splashed on the steel-hard skull of the giant dog, leaving an indigo trace, and the dog's head also tilted back with the huge impact.
The giant dog in pain rushed towards her as if it had just attacked Moriarty. The ice horses along the way left bloodstains on the giant dog, but it did not slow down at all.
With such a hard outer skin, even the sharp Ice Spike won't work!
Angel held the gun in one hand and pointed forward with the other. His eyes instantly turned into golden vertical pupils. He set the target of "Madness" to be closer and closer to him. He was looking at Devil Hound with eyes that seemed to be spewing lava.
"Roar——"
A trace of madness flashed in its eyes, but its movements did not pause. Compared to its own madness and desire for killing, "Madness" was just an insignificant glass of water poured into the lake.
This Devil was already on the verge of madness in the killing. Even if more were added, the effect would be minimal.
Angel pursed his lips, fired the bullets in the chamber one by one, and continued to attack the mark on the giant dog's head.
"Bang-bang-"
Against the continuous firing of "Storm Convergence" and against the Moriarty and Air Bullet falling in the sky, the giant dog squeezed through the temporarily arranged Ice Spike approached Angel. It shook its head with a small hole in its frontal bone and opened its bloody mouth. The smell of sulfur and the stench of rotting flesh made it almost impossible for Angel to aim.
"Boom——"
The mouth full of fangs spit out a red fireball with a blue tint, and flew towards Angel along the narrow alley. It briefly stopped on the ice shield she summoned instantly, melted and penetrated the ice shield, and then hit Angel, who was unable to dodge, and exploded with a bang.
In the scorching flames that quickly melted and evaporated the ice, the giant dog's eyes locked on the woman who was hit, but the figure suddenly shattered into a flaming short staff.
Another substitute...
Devil Hound was preparing to look for traces of the enemy when another figure fell from the sky. It was Moriarty who had stopped firing Air Bullet. He held an activated "Slumber Charm" in each hand and assumed a diving posture. He raised his hands forward on his head and feet to bring the silver piece as close as possible to the enemy below.
The two silver pieces flashed with dark red flames, and the power of silence and sleep escaped. The giant dog that bore the brunt of the fire suddenly had a trace of confusion in its eyes, and its eyelids kept drooping.
"Bang——"
Flames burst out of Moriarty, who was about to hit the ground. His figure hit the ground and turned into a ball of sparks, disappearing, revealing Angel behind him who had changed his position with the help of Staff Substitution.
Bang!
Another shot of Extraordinary Bullet opened Devil Hound's already fragile frontal bone, and the blue mark shattered, revealing the vulnerable brain underneath. There were clear ravines on it, and black blood gurgled out.
The severe pain restored clarity to the giant dog's dazed eyes. The dark muzzle of the gun in front of him was aimed at it. The next bullet would definitely take away its life.
With a flash of fierceness in his eyes, the giant dog opened its huge mouth and roared with Abyssal Language: "Slow down!"
Angel's finger that pulled the trigger immediately paused.
The giant dog did not use this moment to retreat or escape. Instead, it raised its body, used both claws together, and drew two almost invisible afterimages, sweeping towards the woman who raised the gun in front of him.
With a "poof", Moriarty, who had just used Charm to reveal its fatal flaw, appeared between a man and a dog, with a sarcastic smile on his lips covered by his beard.
The giant dog subconsciously changed the target of its attack, and its sharp claws swept across this hateful human one after another, but the expected feeling of hit did not appear, as if it penetrated the air.
Moriarty appeared like a phantom and disappeared like a phantom. The giant dog couldn't help but crossed its paws on its chest, and its movements paused for a moment.
In this way, he put his head under the gunpoint.
"Bang——"
The last shot of "Storm Convergence" passed through the afterimage of Moriarty with a mocking smile, hit Devil Hound's head, and penetrated the skull that had been cracked open by continuous attacks, turning the small brain inside into a ball of paste.
