The sound of splitting the door panel was heard far away, and Jenkins did not hide in the house after finishing the work. Instead, he withdrew his sword, and then jumped up to the balcony on the second floor of the three-story gray Barot style building opposite.
Such buildings usually like to place strangely shaped faceless human body sculptures on the convex part of the building, so Jenkins can climb upwards with strength. Soon he came to the roof guarded by four plaster statues, so he fell down on the ground.
Putting plaster figures on the roof meant they had to be replaced every so often. But the current building corresponds to reality, it seems to be a rich club in the city, so he doesn't care about these expenses.
Sure enough, the five monsters wrapped in black bandages attracted by the sound saw the deserted street, so they flocked directly to the tobacco shop whose gate was opened. Of course, there were no people inside, and these monsters didn't seem to have any kindred spirit, and they started fighting after touching and rubbing each other.
The final victor—the masked nun floating while carrying the iron maiden instrument of torture, became stronger after absorbing four portions of soot, and drifted unconsciously to the other side of the street amidst the clattering sound of chains.
"Oops, I can't seem to beat this..."
In fact, the five monsters that appeared just now should be the most powerful monsters that Jenkins encountered in the illusion of doomsday. If it's not that he encountered an extremely low accident, then it should be that while this world is approaching the material world, the monsters that exist in the doomsday have also been greatly enhanced.
The reason for this is unknown to Jenkins, all he knows is that his journey will not be smooth.
The monsters whose clothing and skin are fused and will turn into soot and dissipate after death are the most common enemies in this doomsday city. In the past, their attack methods were only simple weapon attacks. Although these monsters are very powerful, Jenkins can handle them now.
But this time around Doom Nolan, even these most basic monsters have mastered spells. After confirming that the masked nun had left, he jumped off the roof, trying to bypass the area through the alley, and then encountered a monster as thin as a mummy but over 9 feet tall (about 2.74m).
Jenkins slashed out with his sword according to the familiar routine, but he didn't expect his sword to get stuck in the opponent's body. Then the hands that were completely covered by the black bandages grabbed the hilt of the sword, and black scarabs gushed out from the gaps in the bandages like a tide.
They couldn't chew the sword, so they flocked to Jenkins' hand. Jenkins was so frightened that he almost let go of his right hand holding the sword, but then he reacted, recalled the feeling of anger, let the gifted fire flow through his body, and turned into a fire element again, opened his mouth and roared silently, directly The monster in front of him embraced its bugs.
The sound of crackling and burning accompanied by the stench of burning bugs poured into Jenkins' nostrils. He coughed a few times and stepped back to retract the flames on his body. His sword was stabbed diagonally in a pile of soot, and a few lucky scarabs fled in all directions in the alley.
"Could it be that the current strength is the strength of these monsters in the real doomsday?"
Jenkins guessed, and thought that guess was probably correct. After all, with the power of the original soot monsters, even if they can infect all creatures with the curse of soot, they are at best just a terrible curse-like monster.
In addition to the increase in the strength of monsters, their number and types are also increasing. This doomsday world is still lonely and quiet, and the world under the yellow moon is still so quiet that it makes people crazy, but there are more wandering creatures, or things that can barely be called creatures.
Jenkins, who wanted to detour, was repeatedly thwarted, and even used a low-power [Mechanical Light] once as a last resort to ensure his own safety.
The world is getting crazier, and there is a smell of decay in the air, which often symbolizes the end, and that's exactly what this post-apocalyptic world is about.
These monsters are not the most terrifying. What Jenkins is most worried about is that the yellow moon above his head will suddenly fall, bringing the world into ultimate darkness. He couldn't understand what the ultimate darkness represented, and all the cataclysms at the end of the era he knew had nothing to do with it.
Once he guessed that it was the age of no fire for the Titans, but even in that age, there was a glow of embers in the darkness, and it should not be complete fear and silence.
The only thing that can be thought of is the final station of the train [the end] that the flight attendant said in the train treacherous scene last autumn. Jenkins couldn't imagine what would happen if the moon disappeared when he acted. He could only pray to the sage in a low voice in his heart, while speeding up his pace towards the clock tower.
The purpose of returning to this world is to save Nolan. Killing the old man in the clock tower is the most direct way, but Jenkins thinks he can't do it. His main target now is the third survivor imprisoned here by the clock tower old man, and he believes that this will be the key to the problem.
Climbing to the clock tower and confronting the old man is the most stupid way. Jenkins' choice is to observe the aura nearby and look for the imprisoned person. In fact, he had opened the [Eye of Reality] many times when meeting with the multi-eyed and faceless old man on the clock tower, but he never gained anything other than the black aura everywhere and the terrible pressure on the old man.
So this time, the search was first started near the clock tower, and this behavior was quickly proved to be correct.
The city layout of Nolan in the doomsday is not much different from that of Nolan City at the end of the 18th century, but in the cafe that Jenkins frequented near the square, he really saw an unusual aura.
All the monsters in this world are black auras, so there must be something wrong with the white in the black.
It took some time to bypass the monsters wandering in the square, and climbed over the wall of the backyard of the cafe by stepping on the garbage bin that was chewed by some creature from the alley.
In the background story of Doomsday Nolan, a terrible tragedy should have happened here, and the bones piled up in the backyard almost piled up into a hill. It's a pity that Jenkins didn't have time to explore the story here, otherwise he might be able to learn more about the end of the past era.
At the same time, he also thought that most of the bones in the city had been removed a few days ago, and the bones that appeared at this time were obviously unreasonable. But then I thought of the overlap of the two worlds, which led to the upgrade of the strength of the doomsday monsters, which might also affect the substances that originally existed in this world.
