The Adventures of Clara

Monsters

02:00

Huh, huh, huh.

On the deserted streets of Denia City, Old Man Blackjack ran while ignoring the blood splattered from his shoulders. The wound was the result of forcibly pulling out the sword. Even if it looks bad it is still better than its position in tracking the enemy.

Huh, huh, huh.

No matter what method he did this wound did not close. Looking back, he could see a bright light soaring high into the sky.

Again he was reminded,

"I've raised a monster."

Know that the creature he summoned can be put into the level of S. m

However, without a doubt, the monster will be exterminated by other monsters that are stronger.

As a person who always looks closely at Blackjack inevitably feel emotional and proud. The little girl who used to always say spoiled jack this jack is now grown into a beautiful and great woman.

Unfortunately, his fond memories were interrupted by the darting which fortunately he was able to avoid in time.

Blackjack stops and observes the area around. He should have been in a narrow alley not far from the residential area.

From the front and back appeared the burly man, blocking his path. Then on the roof of the building on the left side there was an archer observing himself like a hunter watching his prey. While on the roof of the right building a beautiful figure appeared accompanied by two other burly men.

The woman sat gracefully on the edge of the roof. His smile was gentle as if he was loving the fugitive.

"Professor Hymne Blackjack, Head of the Association of Researchers who betrayed and carried away the fruits of years of hard work" the woman claimed. "Professor, please speak your defense."

"There is no defense. Beautiful lady, can this Old Man please know your name?"

"Anna. Just call Anna. Well, Professor, how about answering my question honestly. Who knew I'd be merciful giving you forgiveness."

"There is nothing to love, Miss Anna. There's no."

At this moment the world seems to be silent.

The two sides watched each other patiently.

Then, the big man 1 opened the battle crashing down from the front ferociously. But his movements suddenly became unstable and made him fall apart.

The narrow alley locations tend to give Blackjack a lot of advantages. Not only were the archers unable to display his full potential, the superiority of the number belonging to the enemy was also heavily suppressed.

In addition, this location was also very much in line with his fighting skills that used thread threads.

Secretly he had already put up transparent threads in the surrounding area and disturbed the movements of the big man 1. He swiftly utilized this gap to escape the siege.

The big guy certainly wouldn't let that happen. He made a twisting motion and his battle ax almost split Blackjack in half.

Blackjack was amazed by the suppleness of this man's body. An ordinary person would have already broken some bones and joints if he made the inhumane movements he did.

Some arrows were released again, but once again avoided.

The big 2 man approached quietly but Blackjack was already aware of it. He used the same trick on the two big men, then hit him using his left hand which was equipped with a claw weapon. His attack managed to pierce through the man's stomach, though not too deeply.

"Hm?"

The big man 2 grinned.

Blackjack is not able to pull its weapon. It appears to be stopped by the abdominal muscles. He quickly decided to abandon his weapon and make a leap backwards.

Due to his position in the air, he was completely unable to dodge the massive man's 1st blow. Fortunately he was just in time to block it using both hands.

"Akh!"

His body bounced, creating a huge crack on the wall where he landed.

His right hand was paralyzed while his left hand was numb. His back is also very sick. All of that was from receiving one blow. Their raw strength was truly insane.

Combined with the wounds from the previous battle, the current situation of Blackjack is on the verge of life and death.

The old man's perception sharpened, as if time was slowing down. Using his five senses, he could see four chess pieces scaling him from all directions. The arrow above. The enemy is advancing from the front and back. Then, the third big man jumped off the roof just above Blackjack.

There's no way out.

Or, really?

Dor's!

Dor's!

Dor's!

The sound of consecutive gunfire was heard from the deserted streets of Denia city.

This sudden attack managed to subvert the three big men. Unfortunately he had to let the arrow hook in his right arm.

The pistols that Blackjack used were the latest generation of the empire's major weapons factories. Unlike the previous versions, this weapon is very light and easy to hide.

Another plus is its ability to fire eight large-caliber bullets in quick succession with low counter-pulsivity. The scholar who designed it was a genius who had won the best innovation award in the military a few years before.

Furthermore, the bullets he used had the special attribute of embedding the metal material so that the metal armor was completely useless. This bullet had also been enchanted by a powerful curse.

If others were hit by this bullet it was likely that they would instantly die on the spot. Unfortunately for him, the party chasing him tonight were monsters with unreasonable strength.

“You have an interesting toy,” praise Anna.

“Toys, yes.”

The three people who were hit by his gunshot had only a seizure and were even able to stand up.

“Basic monster.”

This should have been expected considering that in this city there was the Adventurers Alliance Headquarters.

Those who interacted too much with monsters would become monsters by themselves.

Whose quote is that? His memory is a bit fuzzy.

This word proved to be true as the average adventurer was stronger than the average knight as well as imperial warrior.

The wounds on his body are getting worse. Blackjack should make the most of this moment.

Without a doubt he ran away from these monsters.

The archer tries to stop him but the arrow he is pinning is stopped by a thread belonging to Blackjack.

The Old Man used the magic stored on his shoes to briefly increase his speed.

The big man 1 once again tried to block but his movement was so slow as a result of the previous bullet attack that Blackjack made it through.

Jack ran as fast as he could, leaving his enemy in the dust.

Huh, huh, huh.

After feeling that he had made enough distance, he stopped to take a breath.

Looking back, it seemed that they had no intention of pursuing.

Blackjack does not know who they are or what their purpose is. To be sure, they were top-class adventurers and might already be standing at the top. The reason for letting him escape might never be known.

After taking enough breath Blackjack is ready to go back on its run. However,

"Ughhh!"

Without any sound and air of existence, an arrow pierced through his stomach.

Blackjack tried to observe the area around but could not find anything.

A melodious voice instantly whispered in his head as if that voice distorted space-time.

"The next time we meet, let me hear your excuses."

Cold sweat poured from his back. Blackjack is not able to detect anything no matter how many methods it uses.

He decided to ignore the severe injuries on his body and then run back for his survival.
