Unable to repay my student loans, I had no choice but to work part-time as a demon hunter.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A volley of shells pierced the dome of the chapel, the walls crumbled instantly, smoke and dust billowed, and explosions continued.

Another volley of shells came hurtling in, penetrating the palace layer by layer, and towers, corridors and rooms collapsed in a series of explosions.

The cultists didn't even have time to escape before they were thrown into the air and thrown into the deep waters outside by the shockwave!

The chapel was instantly riddled with holes after being submerged!

Countless iridescent waters hidden in the walls gushed out, spraying into the air and splashing everywhere, staining the battlefield with a deadly hue.

Immediately afterwards, crimson streaks of light pierced the battlefield.

Scarlett leaped hundreds of meters in one stride, her mechanical armor sword popping out in sections to lock on, eventually extending into a long-handled battle axe, which she swept towards Olivia.

Olivia raised her hand and summoned dozens of translucent tentacles, which intertwined to form a wall.

The high-speed, crimson axe pierced through the tentacles, causing the entire tentacle wall to explode in the middle, bursting apart chunks of flesh and translucent fluid, instantly forcing Olivia back.

The dull heartbeat in the field suddenly changed, and the soldiers regained their senses for a moment.

"Aim! Fire!"

The soldiers quickly raised their rifles and fired at the wet-footed men in front of them.

boom!boom!

A burst of fire suddenly erupted, and a hail of bullets swept across the stone bridge, densely striking the ranks of the wet-footed men!

Harpooners fell in droves, blood mist billowing from their chests.

"Whoa!"

"oops!"

"!" Severin interrupted his summoning of the giant wave, drew his sword and charged toward Scarlett, the water vapor in the air turning into several water blades, which slashed urgently toward her.

Flashback!

Scarlett dodged instantly, the water blades chasing after her, piercing through the air, striking the walls and the ground, leaving several wounds, but unable to catch the afterimage left by Scarlett.

"..." Severin steadily raised the holy sword.

This woman...

Hundreds of water blades rose from the underground lake, densely packed and suspended in mid-air, like a transparent forest of swords.

"You really have a lot of courage." Olivia held the Holy Grail and stared intently at Scarlett, while countless cultists rushed forward behind her.

:

"I should be the one saying that." Scarlett held her sword horizontally in front of her, and the source energy within her body began to circulate.

Expand on the field.

……

Boom!

The battle for the chapel has reached a critical juncture.

Gordon and the others stood up from beside the ancient well and rubbed their foreheads.

They were also affected when Olivia deployed her domain.

But it seemed that Scarlett had also opened her domain, and after the two forces were neutralized, their pressure was greatly reduced.

"Olivia is fighting others; this is the perfect opportunity. Get ready to go down." Gordon set off.

He first tapped the ground with his blackthorn cane.

"There are 47 people closest to us below. 34 of them are poorly equipped and are probably ordinary wet-footed people. 9 of them are scattered and carrying guns and refined weapons. They are probably swimmers. There are also 3 big guys who are probably higher-level scaled people. Someone went down to open the landing site."

Everyone looked at Gray.

"Go for it. With great power comes great responsibility," Gordon encouraged.

Gray shrugged his trench coat with an air of superiority, then released the white raven.

The flock of birds instantly flew into the water, their white feathers soaked through, and were swept downstream by the turbulent current.

Gray opened one eye wide, turning it into a raven-yellow eye. After sharing the white bird's field of vision, he could see the movement below.

It was an octagonal room with a large pool in the center, and there were many people with wet feet around it.

When the time was right, he suddenly disappeared from his spot, and a yellow-eyed white crow appeared where he had been standing, cawing and flapping its wings in dissatisfaction.

Then, bursts of gunfire and screams of the enemy came from below.

"Let's go down too." Gordon quickly blocked the water flow, separating the torrential rain pouring down from above to form a dry vertical shaft with a diameter of five meters. The scattered water droplets around it were also pushed away, forming a rotating water curtain.

He then used the Blackthorn Lee cane to release thin lines, tied the team members together, and then lowered them down.

Vera let go halfway down, bouncing back and forth several times between the shafts before descending to the lowest point. Next was Eve, the white light of the eternally burning lantern following her as she sank to the bottom of the shaft, followed by the almost weightless Shirin, and finally Ratstick.

"The rat can climb by itself," it protested.

"You still have a lot of stuff on you." Gordon used his blackthorn cane to suspend the rat and lower it down.

:

Finally, it was himself.

Gordon secured the thin line to the top of the shaft, using it as a climbing rope. After getting a firm grip, he leaned back and rappelled down the shaft. Before falling into the pool, he swung his body and jumped to the edge of the stone.

Gray stood by the pool, wiping the blood off his sword. More than ten corpses lay around him, but more enemies came rushing in.

"hateful!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Kill them all!"

There are three scaled creatures defending this place.

One of them was covered from head to toe in dark blue scales, with a majestic figure and a heavy axe in his hand.

The second man was also tall, waving an anchor in his hand.

The third person, wielding a serrated curved knife, moved much more nimbly than his companion.

Gray fired first, the bullet hitting the Bluescale Warrior's left shoulder. His body tilted rapidly, feeling a strange emotion erupting from the depths of his heart. He paused for a moment, then strode back towards the group.

[The Low-Profile Hunter: The Invisible Threat]

Vera stepped back and hid at the edge of the room, drawing everyone's attention away from her.

Gordon waved his cane.

Several thin threads flew out close to the ground, first wrapping around the waist and legs of the Azure Scale Warrior, then around the wrists, weapons, and neck of the Anchor Warrior, tying them together.

Gordon suddenly tightened his grip, and both monsters lost their balance at the same time!

"Roar!" The Azure Scale Warrior struggled to charge toward Gordon, violently straightening the thin line and leaving several bloody marks on his body, also causing the Anchor Warrior beside him to stumble!

Very fast! Very swift!

The Azure Scale Warrior leaned forward abruptly, his great axe slashing towards Gao Deng.

He tried to capture the thrill of separating bone from flesh, but he missed.

Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Gordon appear to his side!

His expression changed abruptly, but there was no time to think. He only saw Gordon thrust out a weapon!

"No problem, my scales can block close-range shots, and ordinary swords can't even leave a mark!" The Azure Scale Warrior gritted his teeth.

Penetrate!

The sword pierced the Azure Scale Warrior's ribs, instantly causing him a sharp pain.

:

How could this be!

Then, Gordon flipped his hand over.

The sword shape rapidly split into more than a dozen silver spikes that burst outwards, piercing the ribs, heart, and spine of the Azure Scale Warrior.

The monster's chest suddenly swelled up, its skin shattered, and it looked as if large patches of metallic thorns had suddenly grown out, protruding from its body with blood!

"Ugh!" The Azure Scale Warrior quickly spat out a mouthful of blood, and for the first time, horror appeared in his eyes.

"Whoosh—" Gordon was trying to sheathe his sword again.

With his last ounce of ferocity, the Azure Scale Warrior swung his large hand toward Gordon.

What incredible vitality!

boom!

Shirin fired a shot; the bullet spiraled through the back of the Bluescale Warrior's head, the tip continuing forward to hit the wall, leaving a smoking, deep hole.

Gordon quickly retreated, drawing his sword in the process. The Azure Scale Warrior leaned forward and fell beside Gordon, the Void Flow Demon Sword sliding out from inside his corpse.

"Kill him!" Shirin reloaded.

"Awooo!"

People with wet feet rushed to fill in.

"Go." Eve raised her finger.

Suddenly, a bright, blazing fireball appeared in the air. The high-temperature fireball, half a meter in diameter, rose into the air and crashed directly into the area where the wet-footed people were concentrated.

boom!

The fireball landed, and the shockwave instantly blasted them to pieces!

Flames spread along the ground, heating the accumulated water into scalding steam, and flames rose from the clothes and hair of people with wet feet, illuminating the entire platform with white waves of fire.

"Ah!"

"Help!"

They were terrified.

"Awooo!" The anchor warrior roared, finally breaking free of the thin line that Gordon had thrown earlier. His muscles bulged, and he hurled the anchor at Gray. The giant anchor flew across half the room.

"Tsk." Gray instantly switched places with a white crow high up.

The bird remained where it was, and was struck by the anchor, instantly turning into a few gray feathers.

:

Death Counterattack!

Thanks to the potion Gordon gave Gray, the Anchor Warrior clearly killed the bird, but he felt a sharp pain in his chest, became dizzy, and collapsed to the ground.

laugh!

Vera had been preparing for this for a long time.

She pierced his chest with her sword, then used her strength to lift him high into the air, impaling the anchor warrior on her sword. Her feet kicked wildly off the ground, and she let out low growls that were soaked in blood.

Gray had just landed from the air and regained his balance.

The man with the scaled double swords had been preparing for a long time and quickly swung his swords at him.

He immediately raised his weapon and swung his sword repeatedly to counter the attack, the sound of metal clashing against metal ringing out incessantly.

After Vera killed the Anchor Warrior, she didn't look back for long. She drew her sword forcefully, skimmed the ground, and swiftly crossed the room to stab the Dual-Sword Warrior.

"Damn it!" The dual-wielding warrior was struggling to defend himself when he saw another deadly thread flying towards him, wrapping around his hands and feet.

Gordon yanked him with his cane, and he immediately lost his balance. He tried to brace himself with his left sword, but Vera attacked from the side and behind, severing his entire arm with her black sword.

"Die!" Gray swung his sword.

A silvery arc of light swept past.

The dual-wielding warrior's head flew off and landed on the ground, tumbling into the shallow water.

it is good!

Thus, the three scaled creatures were killed.

"Chirp chirp!" Mouse's situation is not ideal.

In the chaos, the remaining wet-footed men clearly saw it as the easiest target to deal with.

It knocked one over and bit the second person's calf, but the third, fourth, and fifth people slashed at it with harpoons, hunting knives, and axes respectively, instantly leaving numerous wounds on the rat and staining its fur red with blood.

"Awooo! Awooo!" The rat covered its head and ran away.

boom!

Shirin continued firing, killing a wet-footed man who was trying to gouge out Rat's eyes. Then she grabbed her rifle with her left hand and drew her revolver with her right.

Bang bang bang bang!

After five shots were fired, five men with wet feet fell to the ground.

"?" Gray looked at it as if it were unbelievable. "You really are a 100% accurate shot."

:

"It happens all the time." Shirin silently loaded her gun.

Seizing the opportunity, Rat used its hind legs to lift the three people on top of it and send them flying.

"Go to hell!"

"Stinky rat!" The people with wet feet tried to get up.

Eve opened her right hand.

A white flame suddenly rose from the ground, forming a wall of fire along the path she had chosen. Wherever it passed, people with wet feet were engulfed in the flames, their bodies quickly charred black.

She then bent her fingers, causing the entire wall of fire to contract inwards.

"Waaaaaahh ...

"Help me!"

"It hurts so much!!"

The fire came relentlessly, scorching the battlefield.

Gordon and the others retreated to the central pool, letting Eve cleanse everything with her fiery flames.

When she extinguished the white flames, the entire room was filled with the nauseating smell of burning flesh, while the dying screams and cries of the wet-footed man continued unabated...

"It's over." Eve stood in the heatwave, her fair face illuminated by the glow of the Everlasting Lantern.

Gordon took a deep breath.

From the moment Gordon landed until the last enemy was eliminated, less than two minutes elapsed.

All three Scaled Ones fell, and more than thirty Cultist guards were dealt with. Except for Ratstick, who received a severe beating, no one in the entire team was seriously injured.

The results were surprisingly good.

"You've done a great job." Gordon called Mouse over.

There's no way to treat the wound right now, so I can only give it a bottle of regeneration compound.

"Chirp chirp. Mouse almost got chopped up." Mouse looked very aggrieved.

"Once we get out, we'll apply for a permanent position for you, and then you'll be the best rat in this empire." Gordon quickly led them in the direction from which the singing was coming.

The team had no time to stop.

They continued winding their way down the passage.

The sound of cannons outside continued to rumble, and after each shelling, a layer of fine powder would fall from the dome.

:

The duet between Ailian and Ningning still emanates from the depths of the building.

The building had been destroyed by some powerful force, Gordon looked around.

Everywhere there were traces of explosions and metal jets, and everywhere there were water pipes used to store the regeneration mother fluid. Many of the copper pipes had been broken in the battle just now, and iridescent liquid kept dripping from them, forming colorful puddles on the ground.

Gordon looked at them, his gaze darkening slightly.

Everywhere there is regenerated mother fluid.

"Be careful not to step in those colorful waters." Gordon arrived at the entrance of the concert room.
