After the knife penetrated Tomaz's body, Angel, who could not see anything, did not relax immediately.
She pulled out the dagger with her backhand, waited for a second, and stabbed it out in the original direction again. With a groan from Tomaz, the attack was accurately inserted back along the original wound.
With the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, her whitened retinas regained their function, and the cellar under Dark Vision lit up again. Tomaz, who was lying on the ground in front of her, was covering the wound on his chest with one hand, and was pierced through the palm and heart by the dagger. The fist held by the other hand slowly loosened, and a delicate pocket watch rolled to the ground.
"Clement is indeed right. Without weapons, this guy is just like a rookie, with no fighting ability..."
Angel looked at Tomaz who twitched for a moment and then went limp all over, and thought to himself.
"No, am I also affected by Sealed Artifact? How could I have such an idea of underestimating the enemy?"
Angel broke into a cold sweat and quickly pulled off the "2-031" on his right hand and stuffed it into his pocket.
As "Hand of Declaration" left her body, her inflated confidence quickly diminished.
Fortunately, I had seen Rupert's miserable state, so I was able to wake up from Sealed Artifact's negative effects so quickly... Angel was a little scared, and she approached Tomaz squatted down and pulled out the dagger from the opponent's chest. The body whose heart stopped beating did not spurt out blood like a living person. Instead, dark red blood gurgled along the punctured gap.
By the way, blood...
Angel remembered "Bloodthirst" that he had thrown aside, and the bloody smell had spread to the entire cellar. He picked it up through the corner of the windbreaker and returned to Tomaz.
Even without direct contact, the negative effects of "Bloodthirst" still made her dizzy and weak in her hands and feet, as if she was severely anemic.
Putting this Mystical Item on the bleeding chest of Tomaz, the blood gushing out of the wound was immediately absorbed by "Bloodthirst" who was thirsty for blood. I don't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that the other party's body had become a little shriveled.
This guy should be dead...
Angel looked at the revolver drinking Beyonder's blood, and glanced at the strange, exquisite pocket watch on the ground.
With a thought in her mind, she bent down and grabbed it.
This is a pocket watch about 2 inches in diameter, which is a bit too small for a portable timepiece, but it has an overly large and bulky crown located at three o'clock.
The part where it connects to the bracelet is empty. The brass case is etched with a triangular holy emblem, and the interior is filled with decorations of gears and levers. The holy emblem is full of scratches, which shows its age at first glance.
Triangle Holy Emblem... Is this the holy symbol of "God of Steam and Machinery"?
Angel opened the watch cover and found that the pocket watch was damaged. The hour hand pointed between 11 and 12, the minute hand was slightly to the left of the hour hand, and the second hand was actually rotating counterclockwise, but the intervals were the same as a normal clock.
11:58, and it's counting down?
She tried pressing the crown, and the pocket watch made a "click" sound, but the hands did not change and were still counting down accurately.
Angel searched Tomaz's clothes again and found that apart from this pocket watch, some cash, and several sets of pistol bullets, there were only two coins-sized silver Charm.
This should be the "flash" he used just now... Angel tried to identify the Hermes Script on the Charm, and found that it was very different from the Charm used by Nighthawks. It seems that each church has its own inherited Charm production method.
Then, there is a great possibility that this pocket watch is what Tomaz relies on to perform "Magician" Beyonder Ability, unless his Mystical Item has been integrated into his body, or is stuffed in some strange places...
Not daring to put the pocket watch directly into his pocket, Angel searched all over his body before finding a bullet box. He put the small pocket watch in and carefully closed the lid.
This is important physical evidence, as well as the powerful Mystical Item, which should be handed over directly to the captain later...
It's not that she didn't think about keeping this Mystical Item secretly, which probably originated from Sequence 7 Beyonder Characteristic, but the news that Tomaz owns Mystical Item has been revealed Passed Artisan Kavi to "Machinery Hivemind", and soon the entire Enmat Harbor official Beyonder will get the news. She has no such chance.
After thinking about this, Angel put the bullet box back into his pocket, picked up "Bloodthirst", which had absorbed enough blood, its appearance returned to normal, and its bloody smell had subsided again, stuffed it into the holster, and returned to the center of the rubble cellar.
Clement is holding his belly and huddled behind a stone slab.
Just now, the ceiling was blown up by Tomaz and a large piece of stone fell. Clement was affected by the negative effects of Sealed Artifact and was unable to leave the point where the gravel fell. Even if he had the agility provided by "Sleepless" Pathway, he would inevitably be hit by the gravel when escaping.
When Angel dragged him out of the rocks, Captain Nighthawks of Enmat Harbor had covered his head and fainted.
It seems that even if he has the confidence to face the gods, he will still remember to protect his head when being crushed by gravel...
Angel wanted to drag him out of the cellar first and then check his injuries carefully, but Tomaz blew up the cellar ceiling and reappeared at the door on the other side. She had to take off Clement's "Hand of Declaration", put it on herself, and used the Shadow Lurking ability of the "assassin" to launch a sneak attack from behind Tomaz.
When she was fighting with Tomaz, Clement seemed to have regained consciousness, but he was hit several times by rocks on his chest and abdomen, so he could only curl up to reduce the pain.
"Captain, are you okay?"
"Do you think I'm fine... that guy has been dealt with?"
Clement's voice was a little distorted due to pain.
"His chest was stabbed twice and he was already dead." Angel couldn't help but sneered, "It's exactly what you said. Once his ability is banned, he will no longer be a threat."
She kicked the gravel next to her feet.
"... At that time, I was influenced by 'Hand of Declaration'. Well, I was a little arrogant."
Clement smiled bitterly, humming to hold back the pain, and took out a small blue metal bottle from the inner pocket of his windbreaker.
Is this "Goddess's Gaze", that precious potion that can temporarily heal the user?
"Thank you, I don't need it. It won't do anything for gunshot wounds, right?"
Seeing Clement handing the bottle to him first, Angel shook his head and refused, watching as he raised his head and brought the bottle to his mouth, taking a careful sip.
Almost instantly, the injury that made it difficult for Clement to support his body was relieved. He stretched out a hand, and Angel caught it, pulled him up from the ground, put his arm around the other person's shoulders, and the two of them walked towards Rupert, who was lying next to the door.
"I didn't expect to kill 'Rose Bishop', but almost fall into the hands of the traitor 'Machinery Hivemind'."
Clement sighed as he staggered around, grinning and sucking in air.
"Rose Bishop? What is that Pathway's Beyonder?"
Angel was a little confused when she heard the name Sequence during the battle. She did not find Sequence's Potion in Nighthawks's internal information, but she had no time to ask at the time, and it was just in time for the other party to clear up her confusion.
"'Aurora Order' masters 'Secrets Suppliant' Pathway's Sequence 6. This is what I heard from Red Gloves. The Nighthawks documents in many places have not had time to update the records. They are fanatic believers who are so crazy that they can harm themselves in battle, but they are also difficult to deal with. Their flesh and blood, limbs and even their entire bodies can be used as weapons. They can Shadow Lurking launch sneak attacks, and can even bury their flesh and blood into ordinary people's bodies as bombs."
"It was just now, Flesh Bomb..."
Angel read out the ability that was just banned by "Hand of Declaration".
"Yes, this Mr. C was probably injured in the first place and has not fully recovered. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to kill a 'Rose Bishop' with just the two of us, even if we add Sealed Artifact, at most we can force him back."
The two came to Rupert. Angel squatted down to check on each other and found that the impulsive and reckless "Midnight Poet"'s breathing had returned to steady at this time. Although he was still unconscious, he should be fine.
"When I got Sealed Artifact back just now, I did some emergency treatment on him, but further inspection is needed later. Staring at Evil God Statue is likely to cause him to be secretly contaminated. If these contaminations are not resolved in time, he will lose control one day, or even worse."
Evil God Statue, refers to the man hanging upside down?
If turned upside down 180 degrees, it would look somewhat similar to a statue on Earth...
Angel resisted the urge to look back at the cross and the statue. Together with Clement, he helped Rupert, who was still unconscious, and the three of them walked up the stairs with difficulty.
