Half-elf Notebook

Chapter 211 Monster

There was nothing wrong with her strengthened five senses, and the same was true for her mind.

There was something really in this dark and damp sewer area with them - and it was definitely not a wanderer who happened to break in, or a worker who came down to clean the sewer.

But it is some kind of existence that can touch her magic and spirit.

Those sounds...are blending into the surrounding environmental sounds in a strange way, and into the dark space of this sewer.

This is a crude and shoddy extraordinary ability, far inferior to the "sound isolation" magic which has similar uses but is much more sophisticated.

However, the owner who uses it doesn't care about this.

The only thing that is certain is that they may have locked onto the two people in the sewer.

"What's wrong, Miss Ina?"

Bello saw the other party draw his sword.

His first reaction was that Ina had discovered some clues. Just as he was about to ask, a magical light instantly covered him.

Then, like a water bag filled with clean water, it suddenly expanded to form a spherical transparent barrier.

Needless to say, as a veteran adventurer who has been in the business for several years and a warrior who has walked on the brink of life and death.

He immediately made the most appropriate response, quickly drawing the self-defense weapon he carried with him and being alert to his surroundings.

Although he didn't notice anything unusual or hear any suspicious sounds.

"Something is moving in the sewers. I'm afraid it's targeting us, but it doesn't look like Bote Albido himself, or a simple hired killer."

Ina quickly explained the situation, and at the same time, listened attentively to the sounds echoing in the narrow space.

The noise was getting louder, but it didn't sound like the normal sound of footsteps or crawling creatures.

It was more like the amplified sound of running water, the chirping of rats, and the surface noise coming down from the manhole cover.

It was like an area that amplified ambient sound was moving quickly through the corridors.

Soon after, Bello seemed to have heard it as well. His expression was surprised at first, then quickly turned ugly and gloomy - he obviously also noticed something strange.

He and Ina reached a consensus very tacitly. They probably couldn't avoid what was going to happen next.

"Ms. Ina."

Bello called out calmly to the white-haired girl.

When Ina shifted her gaze to him, he had already handed the lantern to his right hand that was holding the sword, and with his other hand he pointed at the lantern and gestured to her twice.

But he soon realized his own rashness and pointed to the side road on the other side of the ditch.

Bello placed a portable oil lamp a few meters away, close to the wall.

Then he stepped back.

Ina looked a little confused.

——For professionals who rarely fight in the dark, a reliable light source is undoubtedly an important support.

However, the oil lamp, which was the only source of light, was placed by Belo in a location that was difficult to reach and protect.

But Ina did it anyway.

As an atypical magician, carrying an oil lamp did greatly affect her performance.

On the other side, Bello, who was on high alert, took out a parchment scroll from his modified work clothes with many pockets.

At this moment, at the end of his sight, where he had been paying close attention, two black shadows suddenly appeared almost at the same time.

The light originally projected on the wall at the end of the passage was mostly blocked by two figures. Their shadows were elongated and projected on the gray-black wall, like two slender ghosts.

If Bello had to choose, he would rather they were two physical ghosts.

At least the ghosts are depicted as merely scary, rather than distorted and inhuman.

They obviously did not give the young adventurer time to react, and they flew straight towards Bello like mosquitoes attracted by sweet flesh and blood.

Their thigh bones are abnormally large, and their length is almost as long as that of a normal person's entire lower limb. Due to excessive growth, a small part of the white bones has pierced through the flesh and is exposed.

The calves are still upright like humans.

The two are connected by dry and sticky flesh and blood. When the limbs move, the flesh and blood will expand and contract like an eardrum.

As the humanoid monster rushed forward, the wounds on the already inactive epidermis began to ooze yellow-green pus, and part of the epidermis fell off, exposing the purple-gray body tissue.

It looked like a cracked bloody sausage.

Even if the lower half of the body has been twisted to the point of losing its original function.

Their speed was still incredibly fast, no slower than a running cheetah. In one second, or even less, the distance between Bello and them was shortened to ten meters!

"Oops!"

Because the sewers were interconnected in all directions, Ina was unable to identify the direction of the enemy's attack at the first glance!

The non-human monsters did not, as Bello had expected, attack the oil lamps that ordinary people relied on most in the dark.

Because they don't have the rationality to consider.

Bello immediately threw away the scroll in his hand, leaned his sword forward, blocked it in front of him, and made a defensive sword posture.

The scroll flipped in midair, blue flames suddenly shot out, and then exploded into a dazzling ball in midair.

Bello's free hand touched the belt around his waist, and the bottle of medicine hanging on it!

There were two bottles of high-purity holy water mixed with magic materials and holy wood, which he had bought from the priest in the church specifically to deal with the devil.

"So fast!"

Just as Bello pinched the medicine bottle with his fingertips and was about to take it out.

The attack has already arrived!

The fourth-level advanced shield technique was like being hit hard, and the force of the impact created waves of transparent ripples on the barrier.

Bello could even see slight cracks spreading across the areas that were directly hit.

And things that collide with the magic and are blocked out by the barrier.
