" Dimodo?"
They're still in the restaurant.
Urdi Blanche answered instinctively.
Then, he pointed to the spot where the moldy head had been Purification and asked urgently:
What was that just now?
Klein, maintaining his Gehrman Sparrow. He glanced at Danitz, then walked past Donna's family and headed straight for the closed Green Lemon Restaurant.
" Blazing " Danitz, carrying a lantern, felt much lighter now that he had finally accomplished one of his goals. He straightened his back, looked at Uldi and the others, and chuckled:
"You don't need to know what this is, just remember it's Monster that can hurt you."
If Gehrman Sparrow hadn't been just a few meters away, he might have even declared: Only I, Lord " Blazing " Danitz, can protect you!
Krivis, Cecil, and Teague exchanged glances, then stepped forward to reassure their employer:
"We'll ask again when we get back to the White Agate."
To be honest, all three bodyguards had been adventurers for varying lengths of time, but their knowledge of Monster remained at the level of folk tales and drunken tales among their peers. At this moment, they couldn't help but feel a bit like they were dreaming.
But for them, having already seen Merfolk, other things weren't so hard to accept; they were just a little uglier, a little weirder, a little more unusual than Merfolk.
Thinking about it this way, they felt much calmer, and the guns in their hands seemed to regain their power.
However, the pure light that descended from the sky was still beyond their comprehension. They felt that their long-established worldview, outlook on life, and values were being shaken, so they could only temporarily put it aside and suppress all their emotions.
Klein stopped at the entrance of the Green Lemon Restaurant, raised his right hand, and tapped with his fingers.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
He knocked three times rhythmically, but there was no answer; all was quiet.
If it weren't for the candlelight shining through the windows and door cracks, Klein would have thought it was an abandoned house that had been abandoned for a long time.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
He knocked three more times.
Inside the restaurant, silence remained, as if everyone was adhering to the custom of not responding to knocking during foggy weather.
Klein withdrew his right hand and patted the hem of his double-breasted long dress.
Suddenly, he leaned back, raised his knee, and forcefully kicked his right foot forward.
With a loud bang, the restaurant door swung open, and all the nails securing the brass lock popped out.
Wearing a tuxedo, with a chubby, almost round face, the boss Fox, remained in his original spot. The ladies and gentlemen who had chosen to stay overnight opened their doors and stood quietly on the dividing line, silently watching this side.
"What do you want to do?" Fox didn't get angry; his tone remained the same as before, but now he had a revolver in his hand.
Klein had activated his Spirit Vision, turned his head and looked around, but found no trace of evil on the humans present.
His gaze fell on the restaurant owner, his expression hardening as he looked the man in the eye and said:
"Where are the Dimodo family?"
Fox met the other person's suppressed emotions—deep brown eyes that seemed to be brewing Storm— for two seconds, then awkwardly turned his head away and said:
There's another table upstairs, occupied by people from out of town.
"Get them down," Klein coldly ordered.
Fox remained silent for several seconds until the other man swiftly drew his gun and aimed it at his head.
He took a breath and sent a waiter to the second floor to lead the Dimodo family down the stairs.
"What happened?" Dimodo was a man in his late twenties who was on vacation with his new wife.
Klein lowered the muzzle of his gun and said calmly:
"Something has happened in Bansy Harbor."
"Are you coming back to the ship with me, or staying here overnight?"
"Unexpected turn of events?" As Dimodo chewed on the word, he saw Urdi Blanche outside nodding emphatically at him.
He knew the other party was a wealthy import-export businessman with three bodyguards. He believed that if anything went wrong, it would be safer to stay with the other party. Therefore, the answer was self-evident.
As for the unique customs of Bansy Harbor, those are just customs! He took his newlywed wife's hand and walked towards the door, smiling politely as he said:
"All our belongings are on the ship, of course they're with you."
"Thank you." He and his new wife said their thanks at the same time, then walked past Klein and joined the Blanche family outside.
Klein retracted his revolver and politely bowed slightly to his boss Fox.
"Excuse me."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards Krivis and the others in the light spilling out of the restaurant.
With a clang, the door of the Green Lemon Restaurant slammed shut again, swaying slightly in the wind.
Klein had actually sensed something unusual and subtle just now, but since his Spirit Vision yielded nothing, he didn't want to delve into it further, lest he trigger the enormous danger lurking in Bansy Harbor.
He returned to Danitz's side and, by the light of the lantern, glanced at the number of people.
The Donna family of four, three bodyguards, the Dimodo couple, and several servants were all present... Klein switched the positions of his revolver and cane, raised his right hand holding the gun, and reached inside his double-breasted tuxedo to stroke the " The Sun Brooch."
A flash of dark golden light, and an invisible force rapidly spread outwards, surging over everyone present like waves.
In that instant, Donna and the others felt as if they had arrived in the south, basking in the warm sunshine and dispelling the chill from their bodies.
They were no longer so tense and worried, seemingly having regained their courage. The slight blackness and a very small amount of eeriness left from enjoying the special cured meat from Damir Port quickly melted away.
" The Sun Halo " can enhance the courage of companions within a 20-meter radius and Purification the evil forces within them!
Using this spell-like ability emanating from the brooch, under the control of Klein's Spirituality and mind, he can make the power of the Sun bypass targets he doesn't want to help.
"Go to the telegraph office first," Klein repeated, holding his cane in his left hand and his gun in his right, determining the direction before starting to walk.
Danitz, following his instructions, walked diagonally to the side, while Krivis, Cecil, and Teague professionally took over the guard duties for the other two directions.
A team of more than 15 people is easily overwhelmed if attacked, and only " Blazing " can truly be considered a helper here... What should he do? Klein recalled the characteristics of the Monster he had encountered before, suddenly put the revolver back into the holster under his arm and handed the cane to his right hand.
He reached into his pocket with his left hand, removed the Wall of Spirituality from the iron cigarette case, took out the Azik Copper Whistle, held it in his palm, and tossed it up from time to time.
He believed that those undead Monster with only one head left would surely forget about the others, and their "eyes" would only be on this ancient brass whistle!
"That way, I don't have to worry about not being able to rescue them in time. That's the role of a MT!" Klein exclaimed, quickening his pace slightly.
Just then, three moldy, shriveled heads flew out from the thin mist ahead, rushing towards Klein from different directions like arrows, completely ignoring the presence of other fresh, juicy flesh.
Three! Danitz's pupils contracted, a mix of worry that Gehrman Sparrow would panic, and anticipation for him to display his true strength.
Three... Klein calmly flicked his left palm, tossing the Azik Copper Whistle into the air.
Those flying heads, still dragging their esophagus, immediately drew an arc and headed towards their primary target.
Klein took a step back, expressionlessly raising his hand to pinch the " The Sun Brooch ".
Suddenly, clusters of dense golden flames appeared out of thin air at the location of the bronze whistle, and a sacred aura permeated the air.
" The Light of Holiness!"
The three emaciated heads simultaneously let out a shrill scream, turning into clumps of dust in the golden firelight.
Klein stepped forward and caught Azik Copper Whistle.
... Is that even possible? Another magical item? Danitz was stunned for two seconds, feeling that the matter had been resolved far too easily.
At this moment, Dimodo and his wife also saw clearly what the thing that had attacked them looked like. One turned pale with fright, and the other asked in a panic:
"What, what is that?"
Donna immediately turned around and nodded seriously:
"We'll ask again when we get back to the White Agate."
After saying that, she raised a finger to her lips, mimicking Sparrow's gesture of "silence."
Thinking of the divine aura emanating from the young man ahead, Dimodo swallowed hard, tugged at his wife's hand, and fell into a wary silence. Seeing this, the servants could only obey.
The procession continued along the streets bathed in the thin Moonlight; the lights in the houses on both sides were extinguished, and behind the bay windows lay indistinct darkness.
Donna felt as if there were pairs of eyes following them, but due to certain factors, no one showed themselves.
They must all be afraid of Sparrow! She held her brother's hand tightly, walking within her parents' protective circle.
Suddenly, a figure appeared at the side street corner. He was wearing a black cloak, leaning forward, revealing his neck, which was still bleeding. Above his neck, there was nothing but emptiness, with only the lining of the cloak reflecting the Moonlight.
Load!
The headless figure let out a beast-like growl and charged towards Klein, causing the street to tremble slightly.
As it passed, it was about to run into Danitz. The notorious pirate cursed under his breath, swung his arm, and flung out a repeatedly compressed orange fireball from his palm.
Boom!
The fireball exploded, blasting the headless man back several steps.
His clothes were tattered, his skin quickly turned black, and his cloak burst into flames.
But for Monster that had already lost its life, this was not a serious injury.
In that instant, with a crisp snap, crimson flames suddenly erupted from the black cloak, as if in full bloom.
Wearing a coat, Klein leaped out of the firelight, using the momentum of his fall and his own strength to plunge the cane he was holding into the headless man's neck.
Pfft!
The cane sank into the headless man's body and emerged from his groin.
Bang! Klein's back muscles bulged, forcefully slamming the headless Monster to the ground!
Taking this opportunity, he stood behind the other person, continuing to hold his cane tightly, while infusing Spirituality into the " The Sun Brooch ".
He had already used his Spirit Vision to determine that " Summon Holy Light," " Purifying Slash," and " Light of Holiness " would not be able to deal with the dark green Monster in a short time, so he had to find another way.
Five seconds, four seconds, three seconds. The headless man struggled desperately, but like a snake, he was pinned to the ground by the cane while half-kneeling.
Two seconds, one second!
Klein spoke in a low voice, uttering a single word in Ancient Hermes:
" The Sun!"
The Star rays of light appeared, turning into water droplets that fell downwards and soaked the headless man.
Zzzzz! Blackish-green gas billowed out. Klein released his cane and took two steps to the side.
In the sparse "rain," the headless person convulsed continuously before finally calming down and melting into a pool of blood.
Without Beyonder Characteristic... this means they're not true enemies, at most just "servants" created... Klein withdrew his cane and turned to walk towards the group.
"So cool!" Denton finally exclaimed.
Donna's eyes also sparkled.
He still relied on the power of magical artifacts... However, that Blink of flame demonstrated his true strength; he's really not easy to deal with... " Blazing " Danitz withdrew his gaze, realizing that his decision not to blindly run away earlier was extremely wise.
Seven or eight minutes later, the team that had cleared out two more waves of Monster arrived at the Bansy Harbor Telegraph Office.
Krivis stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" a calm female voice came from inside.
"We're looking for Captain Elland of the ' White Agate '," Krivis replied from behind the door.
In the quiet night, the woman's voice spoke slowly and deliberately:
"He and his first mate went to the church next door."
The people here talk strangely, or is it just like this on nights like this? Klein tossed a gold coin to confirm that the other person wasn't lying.
As they were preparing to leave, the female voice inside the telegraph office hesitated for a moment and said:
"Could you please keep an eye out for someone for me?"
He's my colleague. He went out before the wind picked up tonight and never came back.
His name is Pavo Court.
