Rezia gave Xia De the right to enter and leave the study at will, so when Xia De found the maid and asked to open the door, the panicked maid immediately went to the housekeeper for the key.
The existence of Xia De is also considered a secret among the servants of Sophia's mansion. Only Rezia's personal maids know who he is, and very few servants know that Her Royal Highness "raised a man" in the mansion during her stay in Coldwater Harbor, and the other servants don't even know the name of "John Watson" exist.
Now everyone in the manor was summoned by the elderly butler behind the gate on the first floor, preparing to deal with possible sporadic intruders. It was inconvenient for Xia De to let too many people see his face, so he was alone in the study, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and watching the situation outside.
I thought the battle would end soon, but I didn't expect the gun battle to last for 20 minutes, and it became more and more violent.
Although Xia De was not anxious, he also sensed that something was wrong. He paced around the study, thinking about the situation he had encountered, and then thinking about how many shots he could take before he died.
Theoretically speaking, as long as he is not killed by a single shot, Xia De can use [False Immortality] to give himself a chance to fight back. But [False Immortality] lasts for half an hour, if it is hit hard again, the effect of the spell will disappear immediately, this is the biggest shortcoming of this spell.
The yellowish light of the brass gas lamp illuminates the stranger who is counting the deadly positions on his body. Suddenly, the doormen in the study were rang.
"Um?"
He turned around in surprise, and before he could speak, a burly man with messy yellow hair broke in.
He was wearing black rain boots, and his clothes and trousers were also black. His head was shaped like a fusiform, and there were patches of red ringworm marks on his face. The water dripping from his body is polluting the expensive carpet in the study.
Seeing that there was actually a man in the room, the intruder looked very surprised:
"Where's Rezia Cavendish?"
When speaking, there is a strange gurgling sound in his throat, and the accent shows that he is a native of Coldwater Port.
Xia De looked down at the wet carpet under his feet. The man closed the door roughly with his backhand, first threw a piece of metal towards the door, and then looked at Xia De viciously.
He didn't even give Xia De a chance to speak and answer, he stretched out his hand and waved at Xia De, and Xia De wanted to walk in front of him just as a gesture.
But this simple incantation is useless against ring warlocks. Xia De just shook for a while before returning to normal, and the next second, the siren and the bell appeared behind the two of them at the same time.
The brass life rings emerged from the gushing steam respectively. Xia De is a second-ring warlock, while the opponent is a fourth-ring warlock.
"Princess Rezia, you are going to the Aurora family's banquet. You didn't even know this, but you just rushed in?"
Xia De only gave the answer at this time, and he was not afraid that these people would go to the Aurora family's manor to cause trouble, after all, he would not let the person in front of him leave.
"Didn't she refuse yesterday... This is a trap! Damn it!"
While cursing loudly, the man's ugly face quickly turned towards the fish. On the life ring behind him, Whispering [Skeleton] is glowing. The man casually sprinkled some white powder, and the powder gathered together during the falling process, forming a bone blade carved with strange runes, and pierced Shad's throat.
"Yeah, I rejected it yesterday, and I agreed to it again today. Before you attack here, can you seriously investigate it?"
Xia De didn't dodge either, the [Genesis·Silver Moon] in his pocket flew out under the control of the thaumaturgy [Treasure] and blocked his throat. The bone blade held against the card, but it just couldn't penetrate.
"oh?"
He seemed to be puzzled by how easily Xia De blocked the attack, and then the [bubble] on the ring of life lit up, and he put his hands together in front of him, making the back of his hands parallel to the ground. Opening his hands slightly, under the gas lamp, as if there were colorful bubbles, they quickly dispersed and flew towards the entire room.
"poisonous?"
Without thinking too much, Xia De pulled the chair with his left hand and threw it forward. After the chair was corroded, two silver curved light blades flew out of the hand.
It's not a physical weapon, so it's not threatened by those corrosive bubbles. But those bubbles can slow down [Silver Moon Slash] in the air, allowing the man to easily avoid Xia De's counterattack.
"Don't resist, I use [bubbles] as the core of my ability system. These bubbles are not only poisonous, they can explode, imprison, release curses, create illusions, fill injured tissues of the body, and reflect energy. You only have the second ring, so don't.…”
Before he finished speaking, he saw Xia De wave his hand in front of him. The silver mist spread out from his hand, covering him almost instantly.
The bubbles flew towards the mist created by the illusion, gradually dissolving them. At the same time, the man sprinkled more bone meal again, and the bone meal gathered together like flowing water, finally forming a slender bone stabbing sword engraved with runes.
The man held the sword in his right hand, and his left hand continued to spray bubbles towards the silver mist that covered half the room.
Boom~
Suddenly, a gunshot came out from the silver mist, and the man's right chest was hit by a bullet from the revolver, but the result was only the burst of transparent bubbles on the chest, which did not affect his actions at all:
"You think I'm afraid of ordinary firearms?"
His eyes were fixed on the gradually melting silver mist, and the gunshot just now made him confirm that Xia De did not run away, and was right in front of him.
Boom! Boom!
There were two more gunshots, this time Xia De aimed at the opponent's head, but the continuous air bubbles blocked the man's head, and the bullets could not penetrate them.
"It's useless, don't waste my time here."
As he spoke, the bubbles ejected from his left hand had already melted two-thirds of the silver mist~www.mtlnovel.com~ The sleeve of Xia De's coat appeared on the edge of the mist, and the man immediately let the bubbles float to that position, but this time At that time, the sound of heavy objects falling came from behind:
"What? When is behind me..."
Subconsciously turned around and raised his sword to resist, but the chair fell to the ground behind him. Only then did he raise his head and look upwards, Xia De raised his sword with both hands and slashed down.
The silver moonlight fell, and the moonlight sword cut off the right hand of the blond-haired man neatly.
Xia De, who was wearing a shirt, took the bone stabbing sword in his broken hand with his left hand and stabbed forward, but because the opponent canceled the effect of the thaumaturgy, the stabbing sword disappeared in his hand.
So the big sword in his right hand stabbed forward. Although he successfully stabbed the opponent's abdomen, it got stuck there because of the return of the air bubbles.
The two looked at each other, and for a moment the man's eyes seemed to become black holes that absorb light. There are spiral lines in the eyes, and the soul feels a little stripped at this moment, but this thaumaturgy that attacks the soul has very little effect on Shad.
The cards flew out of the pocket, blocking the man's eyes, and Xia De, who was counting down in his heart, had already counted to the last number:
"It's the third second! The blade of chaotic time!"
"What?"
The bone stabbing sword that disappeared unexpectedly reappeared from the void. Most of the air bubbles in front of the man were used to block the moonlight sword, and the front of his eyes happened to be temporarily blocked by cards.
This moment of inattention allowed the sword, calling forth his own thaumaturgy, to pierce his heart.
