Seeing that Jenkins was about to shoot, Professor Burns raised his hand and pressed down the muzzle of the black hole. The professor shook his head at him, signaling him to stand back. He took off his coat and threw it to Jenkins, unbuttoned the top button of his shirt, moved his shoulders and made a cracking sound.
"Ah!"
This was a deeper and more powerful roar, and the professor jumped up to the same height as the boy. The speed was faster and the reaction was faster. One hand grabbed his arm and the other hand clasped his shoulder, and then abruptly dragged the boy down from the sky.
After landing, he stroked his arm with an old palm like an eagle's claw and lifted it upwards, while the other hand exerted force in the opposite direction. Jenkins heard the sound of bones breaking.
Black flames suddenly gushed out from the boy's body, forcing the professor to step back temporarily. The khaki light spread from his feet towards the professor's body. He took a step forward, his body circled behind his opponent, his arms stretched forward from behind his opponent, and passed through the boy's neck. Before the boy figured out a way to deal with it, he bent his elbow and pressed his neck aorta, and used the other hand as an auxiliary fixation. With the tightening of his upper body, he clasped his hands tightly in an attempt to force the boy's head to suffer from insufficient oxygen supply.
This is obviously a joint technique in fighting, but unfortunately the boy's body structure has been changed because of the [Mark of Killing]. After a few seconds of hard work, he didn't faint, but because of this period of time, he had room to cope.
There was a sound of tearing, and the poor clothes on the upper body were broken into pieces and fell in the wind. Black light overflowed from the terrifying rune on the chest, and black smoke enveloped the two of them. After the professor stepped back, a terrifying monster with two pairs of compound eyes and doubled in height and shape came out from the smoke.
Boom~
Jenkins' bullet managed to hit it, but the shot had no effect other than the sound of a deflated bullet crashing to the ground.
"It's useless, I'm..."
Boom~
Jenkins, who changed a magazine, pulled the trigger again, and the bullets overflowing with golden magic brilliance caused penetrating damage to the monster's chest.
And when the third bullet was fired again, the monster finally reacted. From the black smoke surrounding the body, three black crows jumped out to block the trajectory of the bullets, and an energy sphere that absorbed light like a black hole gathered in his right hand.
The professor chanted the prayer mantra aloud, and leaned forward again under the protection of divine power.
Jenkins held his pistol in the front and kept firing. The crows rushed towards him like a swarm of mad bees. The black creatures wrapped it in the center, and the professor couldn't even see Jenkins among them.
"Jenkins, do you need my help?"
He asked loudly with some worry, and his fists kept hitting the monster that was obviously afraid of him.
"no problem!"
Jenkins also responded loudly, and then only heard a loud noise, and the sound of an explosion appeared from inside the crows. The black night sky successfully prevented the professor from discovering the remaining demon flames, and even the faint sulfur smell in the air was mistaken by him for the smell of the monster.
"Blessed are the sages, and the light of knowledge shines on all things!"
Along with the professor's prayer, the dazzling golden light burst out like a shock wave, and the dead wood forest was finally completely illuminated at this moment.
The light faded away, the professor squatted on the ground panting, and the monster turned back into a boy and lay on its back, its entire right arm disappeared.
"Be careful, it's not over yet."
Professor Burns stopped Jenkins from looking closer, and then pointed to his boy's chest:
"The mark of killing hasn't disappeared yet."
"I see."
Jenkins nodded, changed the magazine and pulled the trigger again.
After another gunshot, the bullet didn't fly out, but the boy's body flew towards him backwards along the expected trajectory of the bullet. Without even having time to think about what exactly happened, the two were almost face to face.
The cold right fist hit the boy's stomach accurately, and a blood hole suddenly opened in his body, which firmly fixed Jenkins' fist. But it was useless, and red flames soon gushed out from the opening in the stomach.
The boy let out a scream of pain, and his eyes were red and fierce. After the magic eye in the eye socket was activated, he suddenly saw a black shadow falling from the sky and covering his face. Chocolate's sharp claws snapped out the eyeball, and the professor yelled and kicked it down from the side.
While the treasure hunt was declared a failure, at least Professor Jenkins and Burns caught an active Kill Mark holder near Nolan. Since there should be two people who defeated the boy, the imprint did not transfer because of his failure.
Of course, both Professor Burns and Jenkins were reprimanded. According to the itinerary reported by Jenkins, they should spend the night in the school's staff dormitory instead of running so far outside the city with a shovel.
So Jenkins, who was out of spirits early on Monday morning, was not bemoaning a "full" weekend, but rather a lack of sleep last night and being harshly criticized by Papa and Miss Bevanna.
It might be difficult for him to use a reasonable excuse to go out at night next week. Thinking of this, Jenkins, who was lying on the counter, stretched like chocolate.
Just like Miss Michel's unexpected visit yesterday, Hathaway also came to visit Papa's antique shop early on Monday morning. The thing she wanted to explain was also related to winter travel, and Hathaway knew very well that if he didn't give an order in advance, Jenkins might embark on a journey with a suitcase that could put himself and chocolates in it.
"No, no, you don't need so much luggage at all. The villa will provide everything. You only need to bring a few changes of clothes and your cat."
That's what she said at the time.
The best news of the day is that after returning to the church in the evening, I heard from Captain Bincy that Eldron City in the Kingdom of Cheslan is planning to join the Police Department to send those who believe in the evil god [lie Wang Zi]'s heretics were wiped out.
The city will receive the news because the traces of the liars were also found in the incident of the son of the evil god, so the Diocese of Nolan attaches great importance to this matter.
Although there is no notification of the final closing of the net yet, Captain Bincy believes that this matter should not be delayed until after the end of the year. The Nolan Diocese urgently needs information about the Son of the Evil God.
The smile on Jenkins' face at that time made Captain Bincy deeply understand how much mental pressure the "my neighbor is the son of God" brought to Jenkins. He pats Jenkins on the shoulder before he leaves—not on the cat's side, reassuringly, but Jenkins doesn't understand what he's doing.
