"How silly."
The purple girl sighed.
May also knew that she was stupid. She was shaking with fear, but she still raised her head and looked at the murderer in front of her.
"It's okay. Tohno-san will definitely come to save me. He will definitely come, just like he did that time."
Faced with such a pure look, even the frenzied and bloodthirsty killer was slightly shaken. She covered her forehead with her injured left arm, letting the donated blood wet her face, and screamed hysterically.
"Boring, boring, boring! Trust Toono Shiki? There's no point in trusting that idiot. You're about to be killed by me, and he's probably still sleeping soundly at home."
"Despite this, I still believed in him and believed that he would come back to save me."
May believed, believed in the boy who once saved her, believed in the boy she liked.
"It's really enviable, but also really boring. You just have these boring hopes—"
The killer, his face covered in blood, raised his intact right hand, brandishing the dagger that was flashing with cold light.
"No, it's not boring at all. The Lord teaches us to have hope."
"Bang" "Bang" "Bang" the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground accompanied by a powerful female voice echoed in the dark alley.
"God rest ye merry. Let nothing you dismay."
In the ancient hymn, the killer finally saw the owner of the voice.
She was a young woman who was taller than most Japanese people. She wore a black jacket on the upper body and a steel skirt armor on the lower body. Her long silver-white hair was tied into a simple ponytail. With her heroic face, she gave off a sense of bravery and competence.
The most eye-catching thing is her weapon, which is a black shield that looks like a cello. Two gospels on the surface of the shield emit a faint glow.
"I am Lizbefe Stolindobarry, the leader of the Knights of the Inquisition. Please stop your violence! If you refuse, I will regard you as an enemy."
"Hmm, here comes the troublesome guy." Although he said this, the killer had no intention of leaving.
"Negotiations have broken down. Elimination of targets will begin now."
After that, Liz Baife stopped talking nonsense, stomped her feet on the ground, made the dullest sound so far, and rushed forward with the shield. That was a completely different fighting style from the killer and the purple girl, upright and using force to overwhelm others. In front of this humanoid tank, both the spider web and the wolf spider were vulnerable.
The silk thread that blocked the alley was broken by brute force. The killer standing on the ground did not dare to resist head-on and jumped onto the wall with his bloody body.
Seeing this, Lizbeife slowed down, stopped in front of the purple girl and Yuzuka Satsuki, and gave them a warning:
"Stand here and don't move. Leave the rest to me."
He raised his head again, looked at the thin figure standing on the roof and said, "You can't run away."
"I'm not planning on running. I only have one night to live, so of course I'm going to enjoy the killing."
Howling owls, laughing strangely, the killer used his physical skills to the extreme.
It was a special three-dimensional movement, like a bird, a snake, a spider, or some other beast. It was a stunt that went beyond the limits of humans and was beyond the reach of most martial artists.
It was with such skills that the killer carried out unpredictable actions and launched surprise attacks again and again. Even the purple-haired girl who fought with a gun and silk thread was defeated by him.
Faced with this strange way of moving, Liz Baife was not panicked. She casually slung the shield over her shoulder and continued to look up at the sky, as if she was using this method to determine the location of the killer.
Shadows were scurrying around, the wind was howling, and the killer's movements were getting faster and faster. Although his figure was still unclear, everyone knew that he was approaching.
"Be careful." The purple girl couldn't help but remind him. She gently moved her left hand, which had regained consciousness, as if she was ready to lay down the spider web again.
Liz Baife shook her head at her. Just as the girl was puzzled, the killer's figure suddenly changed from extremely active to extremely quiet.
Just behind Liz Baife, the dagger turned into a white line and touched her throat, which was faster than the screams of the two girls.
"I succeeded!" The killer's eyes showed bloodthirsty excitement.
However, the next second, his expression froze on his face.
His dagger did touch Lizbeife's throat. With just a slight movement, he could cut her trachea and kill her. However, no matter how hard the killer tried, the dagger could not move at all - the dagger and the entire right hand holding the dagger were held by Lizbeife, the right hand that was also empty without the shield.
This hand was wearing a pair of black metal gauntlets, which were larger and more powerful than the killer's hand. It was like a pair of pliers that firmly restrained the latter's weapon and was also his only means of attack.
"Got you."
Liz Baife raised her head and smiled at the killer.
This smile made the killer shudder. This female knight was different from everyone he had met before. She was a true warrior. She was good at fighting and knew how to play to her strengths and make up for her shortcomings. More importantly, she would never show mercy to her enemies.
The iron wrist finally exerted its strength, and easily knocked the killer to the ground with one hand, then swung him up and threw him against the opposite wall, and then smashed him back to the ground.
This cycle repeats itself over and over again until the killer is completely bloody and dying. Then he throws him out like a sack, muttering quietly:
"That should be about right. Should we throw it a couple more times just to be on the safe side?"
"He can't fall again. According to my calculations, his bone and muscle damage is over 70 percent. If he falls again, he will die."
"I see." Lizbeife looked at the purple-haired girl with a slightly bewildered look, "Since you said so, it must be correct. Purple? What is purple? Oh, right, Shion Eltram Atlassia, yes, that's the name."
"You know me?" Shion seemed to have thought of something, and her expression changed slightly, "Yes, the Knights of the Inquisition."
"Most of the people who went with you to defeat the vampire three years ago were my subordinates. I should have gone with you, but later Lord Geserbarune gave me a temporary mission, so I didn't go. Shion Eltram Atlassia, you are the only survivor of that expedition, and I want to know the whole process. If you refuse, I will follow the order of the church and put you under detention and protection. In addition, I have received the same invitation for cooperation from the Atlas Institute."
Seeing Liz Baifei being so frank, Shion did not hesitate and directly expressed her attitude.
"I can tell you the process, but I will not surrender. The vampire Tatali is right here. I must defeat him!"
"!!!"
PS: Liz Baife would not have had such a powerful appearance, but who made her the dean of Liyuan for such a long time? Over time, she has learned a lot of tricks from the charlatans.
PS2: Given the atmosphere of Reien, why does it feel like Liz Baife is the fantasy object of a lot of girls? After all, she is more handsome than boys, and is much better than scumbags like Yeshan Hero in any way.
