The red moon returns

Chapter 494 Raid and Counter-Raid
Lynch's body seemed to have never left, and even time had not passed. He had already returned to the true 'present' with the trophy, the Miracle Light.

He realized it in the first second after returning, and spoke in the second. However, in the third second, evil thoughts came out of nowhere.

Before Lynch's brain could even react, several figures appeared out of nowhere in the living room with evil thoughts, and without wasting a second, they launched an attack in the living room.

Too abrupt and caught people off guard.

There were four attackers in total, all of whom looked ordinary, but the pressure they exuded was not ordinary at all. They were all Soul Forsaken, and at least one of them was mid-level. The mid-level one blocked the direction of Ms. Skye and the Is people, and the other three low-level ones took advantage of the gap when everyone was not able to react and launched a fatal attack on Lynch at the same time.

The attack was sudden and caught Lynch and the other two off guard. They had no time to make any move. They could only watch as the enemy quickly bypassed the two ladies beside Lynch and stabbed Lynch's vitals with three sharp weapons from the front, left and back.

The attacker on the left brushed past the dazed noble lady in gorgeous clothes and was the first to approach Lynch. He stabbed the target's heart from bottom to top with the dagger aimed at the gap between the ribs. The dagger had already touched the target's clothes, which made the attacker's breathing become more rapid.

The attacker behind him ignored the shocked beautiful woman in men's clothing beside him. The steel spike in his hand was glowing with a faint green light and stabbed towards Lynch's heart. Listening to the whistling sound of the steel spike piercing the air, a bloodthirsty light appeared in the attacker's eyes.

The attacker in front of him was holding a rapier and attacking head-on without any cover. He faced Lynch, who had a look of astonishment on his face and his mouth slightly open, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at Lynch's throat. Seeing Lynch's face full of fear but seemingly unable to make any move in time, the attacker revealed a hideous smile at the corner of his mouth.

From the clouds to the abyss, from the triumph of harvest to the approach of death, the ups and downs of life only take a second. At this moment, Lynch has fallen into a dead end.

But at this moment...

The noble lady, who was holding the folding fan in a daze as if her brain had stopped responding, raised her hand at the right time when the attacker passed by, and the slightly large folding fan was just aimed at the attacker's profile.

The beautiful woman in men's clothing was attacked from behind. She seemed to see the attacker reaching out and stabbing the steel spike beside her, but the hand hidden in front of her had grasped the hilt of the sword at some point. With a slight movement of her wrist, a glimmer of metal appeared at the junction of the hilt and the scabbard.

The terrified expression on the face of the frightened Lynch had just revealed halfway, and suddenly turned into a gloomy smile. The hand hidden in the lapel of his suit was pulled out like lightning, and a silver "matchlock" was aimed at the attacker in front. Above the black muzzle, the shining electric arc was making crackling sounds.

Gunshots rang out.

The focused attacker was breathing rapidly, anticipating the pleasant feeling of the blade piercing his body. He didn't even notice the changes beside him. The folding fan aimed at him had already spewed out flames. The head immediately exploded like a watermelon, and the body holding the dagger was blasted out by the impact like a broken sack, flying several meters away and knocking over several shelves before falling to the ground.

The sudden change failed to attract the attention of the attacker behind him, because at the moment before the gunshot, a bright light filled his vision, causing him to drop the steel spike in his hand.

Including the wrist.

The beautiful woman in men's clothing had drawn her sword and cut off the attacker's arm with one blow. The attacker had just lowered his head to look at his hand when the sword turned and passed over his neck without any hindrance.

The head flew high up with a flash of light, blinking in mid-air, looking at the familiar body below, its bloodthirsty eyes became confused. The headless corpse flipped sideways, and the blood in the neck gushed out at this time, like a flying blood flower, and the strong smell of blood immediately filled the room.

Amidst the pungent smell of blood, there was suddenly a smell of burning air, and then a dazzling blue lightning flashed in the blood. Without a moment's hesitation, Lynch pulled the trigger.

As soon as the gun was lit up, the lightning was already in front of the attacker.

The smile on the attacker's face froze as soon as it appeared. Lynch's reflection could no longer be seen in his pupils. There was only a flashing arc of electricity that was getting brighter and closer.

stab.

A blinding light flashed, and the attacker was engulfed by a ball of lightning. Along with a sudden puff of thick smoke, the tempting aroma of barbecue immediately filled the living room. The engulfed body instantly turned into a charred corpse, and fell straight backwards, leaving only a shining rapier that fell powerlessly and swayed slightly on the floor.

From the clouds to the abyss, from the triumph of harvest to the approach of death, the ups and downs of life happen in just a second.

The same words apply from a different perspective: victory or defeat, life or death, is sometimes just a matter of a single thought.

In fact, the three of them had already made preparations in advance.

The previous incident of Star Color seemed like someone was trying to force the Miracle Light out of the hands of Milt and his sister. At that time, Lynch considered whether it was the Shadow Alliance that was manipulating it behind the scenes, but there has been no actual evidence to support this speculation, so he can only remain skeptical for the time being.

But this does not mean that he has put this matter behind him. On the contrary, he has been thinking about it. If there is really the shadow of the Shadow Alliance behind the Star Color, it means that the Shadow Alliance already knows the whereabouts of the Miracle Light. They have not taken direct action until now. They are probably waiting for Lynch to help them take the things out, and then they will sit back and reap the benefits, just like the previous traps.

It is impossible to be sure, but we must be on guard. Besides the two girls, Lynch doesn't trust anyone else. Everyone could be a spy of the Shadow Alliance. Even if the Milt family and the Yis people are not, the people they usually come into contact with may not be.

So they didn't inform Ms. Skye and the Is people, but instead worked out a countermeasure while they were alone in the town.

Although he didn't know at that time that his trip would only take a moment, it made no difference in essence. Once the Light of Miracle was obtained, the enemy could attack at any time, and the greatest possibility was the moment when his side was most relaxed just after obtaining the thing, provided that the other party could predict that moment.

The three of them had agreed in advance that once they got the stuff, Lynch would notify the two ladies, and the three of them would immediately be on high alert, ready to strike back at any time with tacit understanding. The key word in the notification was exactly that sentence: "I'm back."

Those who scheme against others will one day be schemed against themselves.

Thus, in a second, life and death were decided, and the three bodies fell to the ground almost at the same time. Lynch was muttering something in his mouth, but he had already stood up and went to face the remaining intermediate-level Soul-Separated One together with the two ladies.

Everything happened so fast that the intermediate attacker only had to turn around to find that his companions were all killed, and he also became the target of the three people. However, this did not make him nervous. Instead, he showed a cold smile to the three attackers.

At the same time, a vague shadow and a pitch-black dagger appeared behind the three people.
