Chapter 210
Negri quickly heard the sounds of fighting, but he didn't follow them right away.
Instead, he found a side path and entered it, then stopped on the other side.
The moss-covered wall was quite soundproof, so as Negri placed his finger on the wall, the germs on his finger mutated.
These germs were extremely sensitive to vibrations, so the scene of the battle on the other side of the wall was reflected in Negri's mind through the vibrations.
"Three armored men, one of them is Reid, as well as five cloaked Night Watchers, they're fighting against two snake-like creatures" Negri's mind perfectly replayed the scene on the other side of the wall.
"God shines upon us!" One of the Red Sun Knights angrily shouted, the blade of his sword glowed brightly, the Red Sun helmet on his head continued to provide light as he slashed at the disgusting creatures.
It was an extremely twisted creature, with a large dark green snake tail below its body, but two withered legs dangled on both sides of the tail.
The two legs moved along with the snake's tail, occasionally jumping up and down to show that these legs weren't completely dead yet.
The upper half of their bodies still retained the appearance of humans, while their backs were covered in dark green scales that extended all the way to their foreheads. Their expressions were even more ferocious, their tongues had already turned into forked tongues, a pair of cold snake eyes were staring straight at the people on the other side, their bodies constantly twisting and turning to avoid the enemy's attacks.
Their hands were also extremely withered and deformed, but there were two empty holes where their collarbones should be. Whenever the snake monsters took the opportunity, they would spray out two streams of dark green liquid.
This liquid was extremely terrifying, even the bluestone bricks were sizzling and corroding when they came into contact with it. The shields of several Red Sun Knights who were fighting at the frontlines, despite being strengthened with Divine Techniques, were still full of holes from the corrosive liquid.
If the knight's swords weren't strong enough, the swords would be bounced off by the scales, only the Night Watchers' scythes and scythes were able to inflict heavy damage on them.
However, the snake monsters' bodies were wriggling very quickly, and their bodies were extremely slippery, making it difficult for the night watchers to attack. That was why even though there were only two snake monsters, they were able to hold back eight people.
Of course, the environment was also a factor. Although the sewer was unexpectedly wide, eight people and two giant snake monsters were in the same section of the sewer, so it was still very crowded.
Both sides had a tacit understanding not to destroy the sewers. The sewers were not close to the ground, and it would be even more uncomfortable if they caused a landslide.
Compared to the battle in the Disaster World, although the level of power in this world might be higher, it was more condensed, and the scope of destruction seemed to be less than in the Disaster World.
"We can't waste any more time." Watching the two squirming snake monsters, Reid placed his shield behind his back, wielded his sword with both hands, and retreated. The other two Red Sun Knights wielded their shields in front of him to protect him, slowly chanting a prayer:
"We are all sinners, accept the light of God."
"That's why it's called a divine weapon, spreading the light of a god."
"The burning heart has never stopped beating. It was like this yesterday, it is like this today, and it will be like this tomorrow."
"Until death!"
As he chanted the prayer, the sword in his hand quickly glowed red, almost like a red-hot iron bar.
Reid and his two teammates cooperated seamlessly, as soon as he finished chanting the prayer, they rolled to the side to make room. From this, it could be seen how strong they were, being able to quickly roll away even while wearing heavy armor.
Holding the glowing red sword in his hand, Reid charged forward, nimbly dodging the snake monster's venom, rolled to the middle of the two snake monsters, and quickly swung his sword.
The speed of the sword was faster than the human eye could capture, enveloping Reid's body in a wave of heat. From afar, he looked like a red sun.
Quite a few people believed that this was the reason why the Red Sun Knights were called the Red Sun.
The smell of roasted meat filled the sewers, as the snake monster's body fell to the ground in pieces. A bit of black smoke drifted out from the corpses, as the snake monster's body slowly changed and turned into a withered human.
Under the intense heat, the corpses began to burn brightly. Reid was breathing heavily. These snake monsters had extremely strong vitality, so even if he cut them to pieces, it wasn't enough to kill them. It wasn't until he infused the burning power of his sword into their bodies that he destroyed the energy structure that caused their bodies to mutate and killed them.
Reid turned around to look at the 5 Night Watchers in black capes. Other than one or two of them who took the initiative, the others hadn't used their full strength at all.
These Night Watchers were the same, selfish and self-serving. They joined the Night Watchers for various reasons, even though they had a hunting quota every month, they valued their lives very much, so unless it was absolutely necessary, they wouldn't risk their lives.
If it weren't for the fact that they didn't use their full strength, the two snake monsters wouldn't have taken so long despite how tough they were to deal with.
"If Isrig manages to escape, or if his evil research is completed, all of you will be held accountable, the Corroding Bone Punishment will let you know your mistakes" Reid declared in a low voice.
The expressions of the Night Watchers couldn't be seen due to their owl masks, but one or two of them were trembling slightly.
The Corroding Bone Punishment. If a Night Watcher's target didn't reach the quota, they would be held accountable. Once they were held accountable, their hunting supplies would be reduced, and if they were held accountable three times, they would be subjected to the Corroding Bone Punishment.
And as long as they experienced this punishment, no matter how tough they were, they would crumble into a puddle of mud. Quite a few people claimed that it was worse than death, and the Corroding Bone Punishment was a rope that was tied around the Night Watchers' necks.
The conflict between the Night Watchers and the Sun Shadow church is much bigger than I thought. Negri silently thought, but this was only natural.
Compared to the knights and priests of the church, the Night Watchers were always fighting on the frontlines against monsters, but their status was pitifully low. No matter where, as long as there was inequality, there would always be conflict.
From the looks of it, the Night Watchers had been tied down by the church's ropes, becoming nothing but a blade for the Sun Shadow church.
Of course, there were countless scum and villains among the Night Watchers, and if they didn't exercise strict control over their supernatural abilities, it would instead lead to a great disaster.
However, with this method of controlling them through torture, once the ropes are untied, these scum and villains would instead erupt with great power. Negri thought that this might be something he could use.
