Escalante, whom Audrey knew, turned out to be Ms. D?

Angel's heart sank. Although she discovered the other party's anomaly from the vision of the "Crimson Eye" and guessed that Audrey had broken into the trap set by the other party, she was completely unprepared to meet her "old friend" Aurora Order Oracle here.

In particular, the opponent is "Shepherd", who once demonstrated the combat ability of one against many in Tingen City, and retreated completely under the siege of a whole team of Nighthawks, which fully illustrates the strength of Sequence 5.

Although I have been promoted to Sequence 6, I have no chance of winning against such a cultist with various abilities.

"Aren't you Ms. Escalante?"

She pretended to be shocked and asked slowly. There was a rustling sound coming from the living room behind her. It should be that several visitors were leaving. As long as she delayed for enough time, there was no need to fight them head-on...

Ms. D obviously did not recognize Angel who was wearing "Madness Ring". A smile appeared on her beautiful face and she whispered:

"You don't have to worry about who I am, as long as you disappear from my eyes, I won't kill you."

Sure enough, the opponent's target was Audrey.

Although I don't know what method this "Shepherd" used, maybe it was Flesh Magic, maybe it was some kind of Mystical Item, and it became the Escalante that Audrey knew. The purpose is probably to deceive Audrey here, use the same method to become her, replace her, and then use her identity to get close to the Earl Hall, or even replace Earl...

Angel I thought of a lot in an instant.

"I'm afraid you won't be so kind."

After hearing Angel's answer, the last smile on Ms. D's face disappeared.

The next second, Angel suddenly opened the hammer of the "Good Luck" revolver and fired a preemptive shot. Demon Hunter Bullet, which had the ability to passively increase accuracy, shot Demon Hunter Bullet accurately. Ms. D's forehead, unfortunately, this blow triggered a power halving effect with a probability of up to 4/5. The silver-white large-caliber bullet hit Shepherd's head with a bunch of sparks, and then bounced away at a strange angle.

No, the one that hit was not Ms. D, but a pair of gorgeous armor that appeared on her body. The armor that covered her whole body immediately made Ms. D's height rise to about 2 meters. A two-handed Greatsword with a length of more than 1.5 meters appeared in her hand. The sword was so radiant that it was impossible to look directly at it.

The sword-wielding "Dawn Paladin" was like a wall of steel, crowding the narrow corridor. Her feet were slightly bent, with the tip of Greatsword facing forward. She rushed forward in the next moment, running towards Angel with sharp steps in the carpet.

In front of this high wall, Angel felt as if he had nowhere to hide and was about to crash into it in the next second.

Fortunately, during Tingen City's battle and the battle with Father Utravsky in the dream, Angel had already become familiar with the mobility of the armor made by "Dawn Paladin", and Shepherd could only use one soul at a time in addition to his own Beyonder Ability, which in turn restricted the opponent's various methods.

She took the initiative to move forward, spreading countless invisible threads around her, and wrapped them around the armored knight who was pressing forward step by step.

The strong knight was only hindered by the threads for a moment, and then broke away from them. Ms. D waved her big hand, and she held the two-handed sword with one hand and slashed downwards. Angel's body under the blade turned into bright yellow flames. Greatsword floated away in the strong wind. On the back of the armor, the faint Black Flame on the broken silk threads suddenly lit up, and the Angel that was at the other end a second ago flashed out.

This is the perfect combination of Cursed Black Flame and Flaming Jump.

Even the amazing Ms. D was stunned. She didn't expect that the "Pleasure" Demoness in front of her actually used another Pathway. Beyonder Ability, Greatsword split the flames and ashes, smashed open the carpet, and created a crack on the ground. Before he could raise the sword again, there was a continuous sound of trigger pulls and the roar of gunpowder behind his ears.

Bang, bang, bang——

Instead of pulling the hammer to try his luck, Angel fired Demon Hunter Bullet directly and fired three shots in a row, breaking a gap in the seam of Silver White Armor's neck, revealing the long brown hair gathered together underneath.

"Huh--" A sharp sound of a sharp blade tearing through the air came from the ground. Alarm bells rang in Angel's mind. He subconsciously lowered his head and rolled to avoid the hands that were slashing horizontally. Greatsword, Ms. D spun half a circle like a top, Greatsword crossed the position where Angel was standing just now, and smashed a decorative vase next to the corridor to pieces.

She was not idle while she was hiding. The carpet she was holding on with her left hand hardened instantly and turned into an ice blanket. The cold quickly spread to Ms. D. In just a moment, the exquisite armored boots were frozen on the long carpet. Angel pulled the hammer, stood still after rolling, took aim, and pulled the trigger.

"...King of Yellow and Black is in charge of Good Luck..."

A paragraph of Honorific Name from Fool came to her mind.

"Bang!"

The recoil force that was much greater than the previous shots almost knocked Angel away, and the muzzle flash illuminated the entire corridor. After a heart-wrenching sound of metal Distortion, he raised his hands Greatsword again, and was about to break away from Frost. There was already a fist-sized hole in the upper abdomen of Ms. D. From it, you could even see the corridor behind, as well as the collapsing walls, and pieces of debris fell along with the dust.

This shot completely penetrated her armor and the house behind her.

As if she understood that this armor was useless against bullets that were more than ten times the normal power, Ms. D released the majestic-looking "Dawn Armor", and her feet were freed from the shackles of Frost. She stroked the wound on her abdomen, smiling instead of angry, and then snapped her fingers with her blood-stained right hand.

"Boom——"

Two almost overlapping muffled sounds came from the living room behind her.

It was an explosion... Has Audrey left?

Angel's heart clenched, but before he could distinguish the sound carefully, a handful of sticky, rich flesh and blood floated from the direction of the living room and rolled around Ms. D, who had returned to normal height. It melted the unfitting dress and turned it into a blood-colored robe.

The wound on her abdomen was healing at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, the transparent wound on the front and back had been sealed by new flesh and blood, and the delicate skin covered the defect.

Confidence returned to Ms. D along with the handful of flesh and blood. She smiled gracefully, but there was only coldness in her blue eyes. Looking at Angel was like looking at a corpse.

"Let me introduce myself, I am the god of 'Aurora Order'..."

Before she finished speaking, the spreading Frost, flashing Black Flame, and Angel followed the flaming dagger and instantly crossed the distance between the two and appeared in front of her.

Audrey Hall, his personal maid Anne, golden retriever dog Susie, and two guards had just left the villa when there were two loud noises with almost no separation behind them. The closed door was blown open by the blast, and the glass windows on both sides were shattered to the ground. A thick smell of blood flowed along the air, making people almost nauseous.

She could hardly imagine the fate of the two servants left in the drawing room.

But the continuous gunfire and the sound of heavy objects hitting each other just now let Audrey know that "Empress" Irene Watson Miss was still fighting hard in order to let herself escape, and he could not let down her efforts.

Several people quickened their pace and came outside the garden. Two carriages were parked beside the street. The dedicated coachmen were sitting in the driving seats and looking towards the direction of the explosion in surprise with the passers-by.

It was already dark at this time, and the street lights on Hillston Borough were densely populated, so there were not many pedestrians. Some people had already stayed away from the villa, but more people were stopping to watch. Audrey boarded the carriage with the help of Anne, and then the maid followed, anxiously urging the coachman to leave immediately.

"Go to North Borough, Saint Samuel Cathedral!"

Audrey ordered.

She knew that it was completely useless to call the police in this situation. She lived in Empress Borough, which was further away. The only way to solve the problem was to go to the nearest Church of the Evernight Goddess and ask the official Beyonder for help.

"Anne, keep Passerby away from here, it's too dangerous."

Feeling the slight bumps of the carriage as it started moving, Audrey said to the maid who was looking at her feet that were scratched while running with distress.

When the other party stuck his head out of the window and shouted to drive away Passerby, she clasped her hands on her chest, lowered her head and closed her eyes, and recited in an almost inaudible voice:

"Fool does not belong to this era..."

She wants to report everything that happened here to Mr. Fool, and the other party should have a loved one at Backlund!

"Bang——"

Behind the carriage that was gradually moving away, a violent explosion occurred in a room on the second floor of the villa. Bright light flashed in the window, like a dazzling Sun light. The glass shattered from the inside, and a figure flew out, hitting the ground heavily.
