When Duncan saw the situation, he was about to stand up and say "I am the traitor", but he immediately retreated calmly and watched the situation in the venue with the mentality of eating spectators and watching a show.
It turned out that he was not the only traitor in this scene - the girl in the black dress gave him a feeling of disharmony from the very beginning. Duncan originally thought that it was because she was too young and quiet, which was incompatible with this cult gathering, that he had this impression, but he didn't expect this to be the case.
He noticed that the leader of the gathering mentioned two words: Deep Hound and Cult of Oblivion.
The Deep Hound obviously refers to the giant black skeleton dog summoned by the girl, and the Cult of Annihilation does not sound like a vibrant civilian group that can be properly filed at the City Hall—this girl is indeed not a follower of the Sun God, but from another cult? !
How many weird dark sects are there hiding in the gutter in this world
As Duncan was thinking, the girl who summoned the Deep Hound had slightly raised the black chain on her arm. She looked around the venue in a defensive posture, with a sarcastic smile on her lips: "The Cult of Annihilation... Unfortunately, I don't have much to do with them - unlike you bastards who have to serve some evil god as dogs to sleep peacefully, I only work for myself!"
"Your words won't fool anyone. Only the Annihilation Cult knows how to summon the weirdness in the deep sea. I advise you to give up resistance, heretic. You are standing on the territory of the Sun God. Even the spell of the Deep Hound can't protect you!" The leader in the center of the assembly hall stared at Shirley, his voice low and full of threats, "Tell me, what do you want to do?! Although Annihilation and the Sun are not allies, they have never been hostile. Why did you disguise your identity and sneak into our sacred assembly?"
"I just want to get some information out of your stupid brains—" Shirley raised the corner of her mouth, and the chain connected to her body suddenly made a series of clattering sounds, and the ring of unknown material slowly moved like a living thing. "Also, I said, I'm not from the Annihilation Sect...!"
Before the girl finished speaking, a series of crackling sounds suddenly rang out from all around. The oil lamps installed in various places in the room seemed to be stimulated by an unknown force and suddenly all caught fire!
The bright flames of the oil lamps suddenly illuminated the entire basement as bright as day. A small fireball dissipated and rose above each oil lamp. Those fireballs were like small suns and began to emit tremendous power. The leader standing in the center of the assembly hall tightly grasped his sun amulet at some point. The sharp flame spikes on the edge of the amulet pierced his palm. Blood seeped into the amulet and burned like oil, causing the entire hand of the leader holding the amulet to catch fire, corresponding to the sudden change of the oil lamps.
Obviously, this experienced cult priest was just using a few words to buy time, and when Shirley wasn't paying attention, he had already activated some kind of extraordinary ability.
"Just surrender, heretic," a threatening voice came from under the golden mask. "The power of the Sun God has blocked the entire gathering place. I know the power of you, the Annihilation Cultists. You can borrow spells from the mouths of the demons you summoned and use them to hurt people. The shadow breath of the Deep Hound itself is indeed terrifying - but this place has been blocked. You and your dog can't borrow any power from the Deep Sea!"
Duncan's fingers in his pockets moved slightly. He was thinking about whether to lend a hand. Although it seemed like two waves of cultists were fighting each other, the girl named Shirley might know something, and now it seemed that she was obviously outnumbered.
At this moment, the leader wearing a golden mask stretched out his burning hand holding the sun badge to Shirley. The voice from under the mask was low and bewitching, as if an invisible force was mixed in his voice: "Give up resistance, convert in the realm of the sun god, and then tell me everything you know. The merciful sun will forgive your sins... Kneel down, young sister... You can't use magic..."
However, facing the threat of the Sun Priest, Shirley seemed to turn a deaf ear to it. She just turned her head to look at the burning oil lamps, and then looked at the Sun Cultists around her who had already drawn their daggers, daggers and even revolvers, and asked calmly: "It must be difficult for you to maintain this forbidden force field, right?"
The Sun Priest snorted coldly: "Hmph, the power bestowed by my Lord..."
Before he could finish his words, the girl in the black dress suddenly made a move!
Shirley suddenly took a step forward, and her right arm, which was burning with black fire, suddenly raised up. The pitch-black iron chain whistled in the air, and the Deep Hound at the end of the chain was swung high up by her - this giant dog, which was several times larger than an ordinary hound, was swung in a full circle by a strange force, and then there was a terrifying loud noise, and it hit the chest of the Sun Priest with a "bang"!
The crisp sound of bones breaking was heard. The Sun Priest was trying his best to maintain the ban, so he didn't have time to react at all before he was hit and flew away by the dog. He hit the opposite wall like a torn sack and became motionless.
Duncan: “…”
He really didn't expect this.
This sudden situation happened in a flash, and all the cultists present were unable to react. Those followers of the sun were still waiting for the leader's order, and the next second they saw their boss flying out, and then, the sound of chains whistling in the air once again cut through the air!
Shirley raised her arms again, the black iron chains smacked, and a strange force swung the Phantom Hound up like a meteor hammer. The giant dog drew a terrifying arc in the air, and after a few loud bangs, several cultists vomited blood and flew backwards!
This time, the cultists finally reacted. They ignored their shock and rushed towards the girl who was raising the chains again. Dozens of daggers and swords flew out of the air. In response, Shirley swung the Deep Hound and the girl cursed: "Go and stay with your master! Bastard!"
The giant dog came flying through the air, and all the cultists were thrown backwards with broken bones and tendons. Shirley used the meteor hammer to perfection. For a while, all she saw on the field was flying chains and the giant dog howling. The girl was moving around in the middle of it, and the dog was falling down as she moved forward...
At this moment, several gunshots were suddenly heard!
The Sun Cultists who were armed with revolvers finally found an opening, and after confirming that it was impossible to take down the super-strong girl in front of them in close combat, they pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Brass bullets cut through the air, two of them hit the chains, emitting bright and brief sparks, while the others penetrated Shirley's body one after another.
"Ouch..." The girl's body shook suddenly. The impact and pain caused by the bullet penetrating her body made her lose her balance for a moment. However, the next second, just when the cultists thought the situation had reversed, the whistling sound of iron chains rang out again.
"Agou! Help me block out the pain!"
The Deep Hound that was swung into the air let out a chaotic roar, and the next second it knocked a cultist with a gun directly out. The cultist's head hit a pillar in the distance, and he became a young mini version of Alice on the spot...
The Meteor Dog in the center of the venue was even more ferocious than before!
Duncan silently took two steps back, lowering his presence while waiting for it all to be over.
He was mainly afraid of blood splashing on himself - he had just changed into new clothes today, and it would be difficult to explain to Nina when he got home.
As for the female warrior who is good at using Meteor Dog, she should not need my help.
She is in good condition.
The whole battle actually didn't last too long. The meteor hound of the girl in the black dress was extremely powerful and fast. This basement with no escape was simply an exclusive hunting stage for her. Duncan stood in the corner and silently recited the multiplication table for the second time. The fight was over before he finished.
After all the cultists were beaten, the basement finally became quiet.
Shirley finally stopped, holding the chain that bound the Deep Hound tightly, and gasping for breath in the middle of the room, but suddenly, her eyes caught a figure standing in the corner.
She finally noticed Duncan, the last "cultist" in the episode.
Although she was surprised and confused by the calm appearance of this strange "cultist", Shirley carried the dog towards the final target without hesitation.
She made no secret of her hostility.
