This knight is too perfect

Chapter 30 Witch Ring: Absorption

boom!
In Mike's Tavern in the town of Thorn, Rhine slashed the soul stealer who was attacking him with a sword.

Although his sword only hit the soul thief's chest, it did not hit the vital part.

But the Sword of Judgment soaked in 'holy water' does not need to hit the vital points, because the 'holy water' attached to it alone is enough to cause heavy damage to the soul stealer.

Therefore, although it was a soul thief that had no sense of pain, it let out a piercing scream after being cut by Rhine.

After struggling on the ground for a while, he died completely.

A similar scene was happening in other parts of the tavern at this time.

I saw that the group of militiamen who came with Ron, almost everyone was carrying weapons soaked in "holy water".

Such weapons are undoubtedly a natural enemy to the soul stealers.

Therefore, even if the people using these weapons are just ordinary militiamen, the Soul Stealer cannot do anything to them.

Not to mention that there were extraordinary people like Ron and Rhine in the tavern at this time.

I have to say, Ron is just a blacksmith.

But when it comes to his fighting ability, he is also very outstanding.

The nearly two-meter-long hammer seemed to have no weight in Ron's hand. Each attack could easily kill one or more soul stealers.

Like a ruthless harvesting machine, it madly harvests the lives of soul stealers.

As for Fergus, he chased after Old Mike as soon as he ran away.

In the face of such overwhelming combat power, the soul stealers in the tavern were quickly cleared out...

"Hehe, I haven't made a move in several years. I'm a little uncomfortable with the sudden movement."

Ron put down the sledgehammer in his hand, sat on a chair in the tavern, and gasped for breath.

It can be seen that the battle just now actually consumed a lot of his physical energy.

On the other side, Rhine and other militiamen were dealing with the body of the Soul Stealer.

Although these soul stealers are dead, their bodies contaminated by the source must be properly disposed of.

Otherwise, it is likely to affect other people around and create a plague-like effect.

Fortunately, it is not difficult to deal with these corpses. Just sprinkle diluted holy water on their corpses for a while to purify the source poison on them.

Then just pile them up and burn them.

Just when Rhine and others had laid out the bodies of the soul stealers on the street outside the tavern and set them on fire.

Fergus, who had gone to chase Old Mike earlier, also came back.

And when he came back this time, he was holding a blood-stained bag in his hand.

Although Rhine did not have the ability to see through things, judging from the appearance of the bag, he thought that it must contain someone's head.

"Old buddy, you haven't done it for a long time, so your skills have become rusty? How come you can't even handle a small corpse puppet that has just entered the Black Iron Rank?"

Hearing Ron's words, Fergus replied calmly: "It's not that I don't want to catch him alive, but someone killed him before me. It seems that they don't want him to fall into my hands alive."

"Is that so?"

Ron lowered his head in thought, obviously pondering the deeper meaning of Fergus's words.

There is no doubt that the problems currently lurking in this Thorn Town are no longer as simple as one or two soul-stealer nests.

You should know that Fergus and Ron are not the only extraordinary knights under Baron Angelo.

In this small town of Thorn lies the last extraordinary knight in the Thorn Territory...Garcia.

This man is not only the mayor of Thorn Town, but also the sheriff of the town.

And he is also the nephew of Baron Angelo.

It can be said to be very special.

Yet, such a person with a special identity, who was the first person under the baron, allowed such an obvious monster nest to appear in the town under his jurisdiction.

This is undoubtedly a very bad signal.

They didn't believe that Garcia was unaware of what was happening in his town.

There must be something wrong here.

Thinking of this, Ron immediately asked, "What do you mean? Let's go meet that kid Garcia and ask him what he wants to do."

"Or should we pretend we know nothing and return to the castle, then wait for the Baron to come back and tell him about this matter, and let him make the decision himself?"

This question is tricky and difficult to answer.

So after thinking about it, Fergus did not give Ron an answer immediately.

Instead, he turned to look at Rhine who was standing next to him with his eyes closed. "What do you mean, Rhine?"

Rhine opened his eyes and gave an accurate number.

"Two. I found two more nests that are suspected to be soul stealers in this town."

"One is on the east side of the slum area, and the other is in the rich area."

"My Shadow Crow will sense a threat once it reaches the wealthy area, so I cannot control it from getting too close to the wealthy area. Therefore, I have no way of knowing the exact location of the Soul Stealer's nest hidden in the wealthy area."

Fergus was not too surprised to hear this, but Ron next to him looked at Rhine in surprise.

"No, your extraordinary ability has been developed to this extent? I remember Fergus said that you were promoted only a few days ago."

In response to Ron's question, before Rhine could speak, Fergus next to him gave him an explanation.

"Old friend, it's not polite to rashly inquire about other people's extraordinary abilities. You just need to know that Rhine's extraordinary ability is very special. It is so special that as long as he is there, we can accurately find the enemy's position without alerting anyone, and know the number of possible enemies."

Seeing Fergus say this, although Ron was curious, he didn't ask any more questions.

Because as Fergus said, extraordinary ability is the foundation of an extraordinary person.

It is indeed very rude to rashly ask a Beyonder what his abilities are.

This is especially true for a destiny-side Extraordinary who focuses on "mystery".

After all, for the extraordinary people on the fate side, let alone outsiders, many times even they themselves don’t understand what their extraordinary abilities are.

After helping Rhine explain, Fergus also expressed his decision.

"My old friend, the situation in the town is too complicated right now. I can't be sure whether Garcia is still loyal to the Baron. If he is just stupid and fails to notice the situation in the town, then it's not bad."

"But if he deliberately allowed all this to happen, or even secretly promoted it, then the situation is undoubtedly very bad."

"Because no matter if it's a Soul Stealer of the Unentered Rank or a Corpse Master of the Dark Iron Rank, these are things that only Bronze Rank Zombie Path Extraordinaries can do."

"And if Garcia deliberately allowed this situation to happen, it means that not only is there at least one bronze-level zombie around him, but he himself may even have a connection with the Holy Communion."

“This is undoubtedly the worst-case scenario for us.”

"After all, apart from the master and servant from Akkad, the only person in the territory who is capable of dealing with the bronze-rank zombie is the Baron, who is also at the bronze-rank. Unfortunately, the Baron is not in the territory right now."

"That's all for tonight, let's go back first."

"I think what happened tonight will definitely reach Garcia's ears, and no matter what his true situation is, he will definitely react."

"And before that, we should not take any more actions."

"After all, when the intelligence is unclear and the enemy has been alerted, acting rashly would not only be a risk, but also a way to commit suicide."

Ron nodded, indicating that he agreed with Fergus.

After all, the current situation is so complicated that it is really not suitable to act rashly.

As for Rhine, he naturally had no objection.

Because without sufficient ability, you rashly take on responsibilities that do not belong to you.

This is neither the "justice" nor the "bravery" of a knight.

It's pure stupidity.

Therefore, what Rhine needs to do most right now is not to rush to solve the crisis in the small town, but to improve himself as much as possible.

Because only when you have enough ability can you take on enough responsibilities, it cannot be the other way around.

Although it seems that Rhine has gained nothing from the crackdown on the soul stealers tonight, this is not the case.

Because he absorbed almost 2 points of destiny essence through the witch ring.

This brought him a lot closer to the '10 points of destiny essence' needed to condense his own destiny emblem...
