Like many Transcendent professions with evil tendencies, the inauguration ceremony of the Scarlet Archer was absolutely unacceptable to the civilized world.
Through holding a vicious sacrificial ritual, sacrificing intelligent life (in most cases, humans) to summon monsters from the lower world, and then consuming the monsters' blood to satisfy the prerequisites for the profession.
Just this point alone was enough to make it completely evil!
After the successful transformation of the Transcendent Awakening, the hands of the profession would turn scarlet in battle, and their flexibility and strength would greatly increase.
While their physique would be comparable to that of a low-level Knight, they would also obtain the Transcendent Power called Scarlet Spirit Light. It was very suitable for using mid-range weapons such as throwing knives and firearms, which was why the profession was named Scarlet Archer.
This time, the windbreaker man was sent out to collect children with unique qualifications for the organization's next sacrificial ritual.
In other words, the same kind they collected were sacrifices to the monsters. They were a hundred times more evil than the human traffickers who caused the separation of family and flesh!
However, this kind of path that could quickly form combat strength seemed to be much stronger than that of an ordinary Knight. Although he was only a Grade Two official Transcendent, he could obtain the dominant Transcendent power that could only be obtained when he was a Grade Three Great Knight on the Knight's path.
However, while it was easy to obtain power, the risk of losing control also increased to a terrifying level. It was also accompanied by the magnification of normalized desires, and the extremely high mortality rate of transformation and other major hidden dangers!
In addition, there was the restriction of constantly committing crimes and collecting the negative emotions of victims to improve. While this profession gave the occupants great power, it also made them feel like they were walking on a tightrope at any time. If they were not careful, they would lose control and fall into the abyss.
"Huff …"
After a long battle, as the Scarlet Spirit Light was continuously used, the monster blood in his body became more and more active. The windbreaker man's rationality began to fade quickly, and his negative emotions were infinitely magnified.
He knew that although the battle was still in a stalemate, and he even had the upper hand on the surface, his strongest move was not a fatal threat to the young man. When his throwing knives were exhausted, the one who would die in the end would definitely be him!
"Don't you want to save people? Then I'll let you … save them!" The windbreaker man became bold. If I'm in trouble, don't think about being a hero.
Whoosh —
The next throwing knife shot out.
However, its target was not Elvin. Instead, it flew towards the last living person in the field, the skinny girl who was still tied up on the ground and wriggling like a worm trying to escape.
The young girl who was wriggling on the ground with her back facing the battlefield didn't realize that a fatal flying dagger was flying towards her. With her ordinary physique, there was absolutely no chance of survival if she was hit by a flying dagger.
A tragedy was about to unfold.
Clang!
A long metallic sound rang out from behind the girl, close to her.
Her body stiffened. The girl twisted her body and looked back with difficulty.
Under the moonlight, a figure that was not particularly tall but extremely imposing stood behind him with a long sword raised high. A flying dagger bounced off the sword blade and landed not far away from him. The sharp tip of the dagger drilled into the ground and disappeared.
This silhouette under the moonlight was branded into the girl's heart, and she would never forget it for the rest of her life.
"Hehe …" Elvin sneered as he looked at the man in the trench coat who had turned around and fled after throwing the flying knife.
He already knew that he couldn't underestimate the bottom line of these scumbags. While he was chasing, he was always paying attention to the girl who was left behind.
Elvin had no doubt that if the man in the trench coat had known his true strength, he would not have hesitated at all. He would have taken the girl hostage at the first moment.
He wasn't a police officer in the United States. He wouldn't be able to kill both the hostage and the kidnapper at the same time!
The situation would be very ugly. Fortunately, the man in the trench coat underestimated the enemy and gave him an opportunity. At least the "hostage" was safe now.
With a thought, two large frigatebirds with black feathers and red bellies with a wingspan of more than three meters landed on the walls on both sides of the alley.
"Stay here and wait for me to come back. Don't run around." Elvin ordered as he waved his sword to cut off the rope on the girl.
Whoosh —
With both feet on the ground, Elvin had turned into an afterimage and chased in the direction of the man in the trench coat like a cheetah.
The girl was left alone to guard the two corpses on the ground that were slowly stiffening. It was unknown whether she was crying or laughing.
"Squeak … squeak …"
Alone in the night, with two large black birds chirping from time to time, the girl hugged her numb shoulders and squatted on the ground. She felt extremely cold.
.....
With the seabird scouts following him, Elvin wasn't worried about losing the man in the trench coat.
He leaped from wall to roof and quickly caught the tail of the man in the trench coat under the guidance of the seabirds.
Unfortunately, the warehouse was located at the intersection of the slums and the business district. It only took a short delay for him to slip into the business district.
Unlike the slums that were already empty at night, the business district was still brightly lit.
Watching the man in the trench coat sneak into the back door of a bar, Elvin's face was slightly unpleasant.
This bar was obviously the hidden stronghold of "Blood Hand".
At this time, many people were still lingering in taverns, nightclubs, and brothels, forgetting to go home. It was fine if it was in the slums, but if he killed someone in public in such a place, Elvin couldn't be exempted from punishment even if he was a military officer.
This was also why the man in the trench coat had been preparing for a quick escape when he chose the location of the transaction.
However, Elvin wasn't ready to give up.
From what he heard from Hoyle The Coachman and what he saw with his own eyes, the disappearance of children in the slums had obviously been going on for some time. The number of victims couldn't be small, and the officials had already noticed the abnormality.
It was conceivable that if this situation was allowed to continue, there would be many more innocent children who would become victims in the future.
Moreover, judging from the abilities of the man in the trench coat, the core members were likely to be Extraordinaires. Even if the normal City Guard saw their transaction scene, they wouldn't be able to do anything to them.
Elvin didn't consider himself a saint, but if he had the ability, he couldn't ignore such a tragedy.
Letting the seabirds continue to monitor the place, Elvin decided to deal with the aftermath first.
A moment later, he returned to the warehouse where the transaction was carried out.
Although she was still in shock, the skinny little girl obeyed Elvin's words and stayed here. Seeing that Elvin had returned, his eyes instantly revealed a look of pleasant surprise.
"Child, where is your home? I'll get someone to send you back. " Although Elvin wasn't old, it didn't stop him from calling the malnourished girl a child.
"My home is at Mogg Farm. Thank you for saving me, Big Brother!" Perhaps it was because of the experience just now, the girl's voice had a hint of attachment and admiration for Elvin.
After all, which girl didn't dream of a Prince Charming who would save her from her misery?
Elvin, who was in a hurry to go back to "clean up the trash," didn't notice the peculiarity in the girl's tone.
"You're welcome. Hold on tight."
Elvin nodded and bent down to pick her up. He rushed to the main road that ran through the slums at lightning speed.
His carriage was still waiting there.
As for the two corpses on the ground, they were naturally left for the City Guard to deal with. Elvin was certain that it was impossible for the sword mark to find his head.
