Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Esther also stood up, but this only made her height look more tragic in front of Swain. The former captain of the Punisher from the navy cast a shadow much larger than Esther's.

"Mr. Swain, light—Esther is not a bad person." Ademisor added next to him, but his intercession made Swain even more suspicious of Esther.

"Not a bad guy? Kid, I tell you, all bad guys will tell you that!" Swain shook his hard fist, and the muscles on his arms protruded from the tension, making him look stronger.He frowned and stared at Esther, but he didn't act rashly. After all, this place was still within the scope of the underground market, and doing anything casually would break his own rules.

Just as the atmosphere here was becoming more and more rigid, and Admisor was breaking out in a cold sweat, another voice sounded with some vicissitudes.

"Esther, sure enough, you are with Ademisor again. Huh? Why are you here, Swain?"

Klein turned his head sideways from behind Old Neil: "Esther, I met Mr. Neil. Good evening, Mr. Swain."

"Ah, old Neil, you came just in time." Swain immediately gave up pursuing Ademisor's changes, because he had more important things to deal with, "I need your help."

Old Neil's expression immediately became serious: "What happened?"

Swain lowered his voice: "A member of the 'Punisher' team has lost control nearby. We must deal with him before he causes harm to ordinary people!"

Esther and Klein frowned at the same time, and subconsciously straightened their backs. For Extraordinary, "out of control" is the sword of Damocles hovering over their heads forever.Klein did not face the experience of the out-of-control person directly, but Esther would think of the fissured demon she saw in the alley, that was the first time she came into contact with the real shadow behind the extraordinary power.

"Where is the runaway? What do we need to do?"

Old Neil asked calmly, and was willing to help without hesitation. This surprised Klein, but Esther was not surprised.Old Neil was originally a very reliable person at critical moments, otherwise he would not have been a "Secret Peer" of Sequence Nine. After An Ran has been a Nighthawk for so many years, he must have faced countless situations.

For the Nighthawks, the Punisher and the Mechanical Heart who guard Tingen City on the same front are companions who should help each other.

Swain only dropped one sentence: "Be my assistant!"

Old Neil and Klein followed closely behind him, and Esther quickly chased after him. She still didn't forget to turn her head and tell Ademisor, "Don't follow!"

Swain glanced at Esther, this time he didn't say anything more, since it was someone that Old Neil and the others knew, it was probably a new member of the Nighthawks, Old Neil had a sense of propriety and would not let irrelevant people get involved To the event of the official Extraordinary.

This is also a kind of natural trust in "comrades in arms", Swain has known old Neil for many years.

A few people trotted to follow Swain closely, and rushed out of the Dragon Bar amidst the small murmurs of the tavern guests, leaving behind those shouts for the cage competition, they ran across the road and entered the real pier area.

Swain pointed to a river cargo ship docked not far away: "On that one, the two punishers are still dealing with the out-of-control man on it, preventing him from entering the Tussock River. You help me influence him, control He, I will handle the rest of the matter."

Old Neil was panting heavily, he was old after all, and he wasn't good at physical sequences, so he said out of breath, "Okay, but, but you need to give me a minute... Huh, 1 minute to recover."

Swain nodded, but quickly rushed to the cargo ship and joined the battle.

Old Neil handed Klein a "Slumber" charm, briefly described how to use it, and held one tightly in his hand, then he said to Esther: "You can't use spiritual items, you may need to leave Further."

Esther pulled out a short knife from her arms with her backhand: "It's okay, I always carry this with me."

Klein pulled out his revolver, adjusted the firing position and trigger, and said to Old Neil, "She has much better physical strength than me, and she was not out of breath during the journey just now."

Old Neil had never seen Esther in actual combat, and he was obviously a little worried: "Be sure to pay attention to safety. Don't be nervous, relax, and think about other things."

Then he told Klein that the spell was borrowed, and if Klein used it up, he would have to make a new one and return it to him.A little smile appeared on the face of Esther next to her, while Klein was full of helplessness.When the two of them were not paying attention, Esther pulled out a piece of her own hair and wrapped it around the bottom of the dagger. A faint golden light flashed and disappeared into it.

When the three of them passed the gangway and boarded the modified steam cargo ship, they clearly felt a vibration coming from somewhere in the hull, and there was a loud collision sound along the way. The battle seemed quite intense.

The wooden board on the side of the cabin was smashed, and a figure flew out, hit the side of the ship, and slipped softly to the ground.

The monster was tall and strong, its clothes were torn and full of cracks, the exposed skin was covered with dark green scales, a translucent connecting membrane grew between the hands and feet, like the toe webs of aquatic animals, and its head was full of folds , can barely see the appearance of human beings.

The monster was dripping corrosive slime, leaving traces everywhere it passed.

Swain was trying his best to hold the monster and prevent it from running away, but his muscular fist couldn't break the scales, so he could barely entangle. Swain was not completely at a disadvantage.

He was building strength, Esther could feel it.

The monster swung its arm violently, repelling Swain severely, and the sight of another punisher happened to be blocked, which allowed the monster to seize the opportunity to escape, and it was about to jump out of the cabin!
Klein raised his right hand and pulled the trigger decisively. The bullets he consumed in the shooting club made his marksmanship far from what it used to be. This distance is enough for Klein to accurately send the hunting bullets into the monster's torso.

The monster screamed ear-piercingly, kicked its feet on the ground, and jumped up like a flying eagle, pounced on Klein.

When Klein suddenly lowered his body and rolled to the side, Esther's figure a few meters away moved instantly. Her blond hair was like an erratic streamer, appearing on the other side of the monster in the blink of an eye.

"Dark night!" Old Neil, who was close at hand, uttered this ancient Hermetic language, and he threw the spell in his hand at the monster.

At the same time, Esther's dagger had already been nailed into the monster's leg, and the scales that Swain failed to penetrate were stuck in the gap by the dagger, and with Esther's full swing, it pierced the monster's leg. Transparent, leaving only the handle on the outside.

This caused the monster to let out another roar of pain, but a deep and peaceful power escaped from Old Neil's spell, and the monster's struggling movements slowed down. It swayed and wanted to fall down as if it was drunk.

The power of the spell was insufficient, and Esther made a judgment in an instant.

"Klein!"

"Dark night!"

It was almost as if they were connected. Before Esther finished speaking, Klein had once again spit out the activation spell in the ancient Hermes language, which activated the spell in his hand and threw it on the monster.

Because Esther nailed through its legs, the monster couldn't jump up again, which made Klein's spell land on its forehead precisely. This time, the monster's body fell down, lying on the ground, He briefly fell into a semi-slumber state.

At this moment, Swain fell from the sky and slammed on the monster like steel. When he raised his fist and thumped it hard, even Esther felt the tyrannical spiritual power brewing on him.

With the sound of a broken skull, the monster's head was torn apart, and juices of various colors splashed out, leaving a mess.The monster's legs twitched twice, completely silent.

It took Swain some effort to pull out Esther's dagger. He took out a deflated metal flagon from nowhere, washed the blood on the dagger, and all the spirits below drenched the monster's corpse .

Swain threw the dagger to Esther, and poured all the remaining liquor on the monster.

After doing all this, his back seemed to be bent a bit, his face showed old fatigue, and he stared at the corpse of the monster on the ground with a complicated expression.

Esther felt some kind of grief, and her heart was tightening. From this old man whose fate was similar to that of the Nighthawks, she sensed many unavoidable fates.Esther realized what the little bug said, "Human beings are much more fragile than you think." She would guard the Tingen Nighthawk team, which was an oath that was too easily broken.

Esther clenched the dagger in her hand, took a deep breath, and walked to Old Neil and Klein.

Old Neil looked in Swain's direction, and whispered to them: "I know this out-of-control punisher. He has followed Swain for 30 years. He once eliminated water ghosts who went ashore to kill people, and captured those who tried to kill them. The evil Extraordinary who escaped by diving in the Tussoke River..."

He didn't say the following words, but both Klein and Esther understood what he meant:
Such a "guard" who made a lot of contributions and killed many monsters eventually became a monster himself.

Esther couldn't help but think of the sentence she once read - "The brave man who slays the dragon eventually becomes a dragon".

This is not an isolated case. This kind of thing is likely to happen in every official Extraordinary team, and it is the ending that many Nighthawks, Punishers and Mechanical Heart members may face.

Even though Esther has never been fully recognized as a "Nighthawk", everyone in the team is convinced that she is also an Extraordinary, possessing even more special extraordinary powers.Klein, who had seen Esther approaching a state of out-of-control, sank in his heart. He glanced at Esther, and the hidden grief became even stronger.

Esther hugged her arms tightly, looking sadly at the punisher helping his unconscious teammate up, her eyes gradually dimmed.
