Chapter 145: Looking for the Beast

In the end, the commotion came to nothing.

Except that the sovereign El-Melloi II once again showed his profound knowledge of magic, there were no other results, and the tail of the people hiding behind the scenes was not revealed.

Even the second's performance was completely suppressed by Liu Xia's prestige.

After Liu Xia said those words, all the people present showed uncomfortable expressions like eating shit, which made Luvia's mood much better, and she laughed heartily afterwards.

Then, everyone dispersed and went back to their respective rooms.

Time gradually came to the morning.

Lucia and Luvia still didn't go back to their room to sleep, but came to the woods again, but this time they came around the statue that Lucia found.

"Sure enough, it is exactly the same statue as that over there."

Luvia stepped forward to check the second shattered statue, and said thoughtfully: "Angels are beasts, glaring at the sky in the west, devouring the sun... Is this what you mean?"

The two statues are located on the east side and west side respectively in terms of orientation.

The beast is in the west, it should refer to the monster at the statue in the west... What does it mean to be glaring at the sky and devouring the sun?

Luvia looked up at the sky, it was still late at night, everything was silent, and there were only a few stars twinkling in the sky, without any clues.

Liu Xia stepped forward and searched around the statue.

"The dirt traces here are slightly different from those next to it."

Liu Xia looked at the edge of the statue's base. On the edge of the broken base, there was a trace of mud that should have been rubbed out recently, and the soil was still a little fresh.

Lucia stretched out her hand thoughtfully, then grabbed the base, and suddenly pushed aside.

"bump!"

With a sound of impact, the base was thrown out by Liu Xia, and hit a tree not far away, revealing a narrow stair passage below.

"Dark room? So that's it, glaring at the sky means being underground!"

Luvia suddenly realized,

Then followed behind Liu Xia, entered the passage, and walked in the direction of the underground.

The underground passage wasn't very deep, and the narrow stairs extended down less than ten meters, leading to an extremely damp and gloomy underground dark room.

In the dark room, there was a pitch-black shadow entrenched there.

It was a beast about the height of a person, probably due to magic, even with Lucia's eyesight, he couldn't see its figure clearly, and could barely see that it was a four-legged beast, similar in shape to More like a wolf than a spider.

"No wonder I didn't find it before."

When it was being followed by Liu Xia before, this beast hid in the underground dark room, and because of the magic cover on its body, Liu Xia couldn't see its figure clearly, so it escaped his sight.

"—Ask for the name of an angel."

In the dim underground dark room, a hoarse and indistinct sound like a whistling wind came from nowhere.

"Speaking? The beast?"

When Luvia heard this, she couldn't help showing a little surprise. They thought this monster was irrational, but it turned out to be able to speak. Does it still retain a little intelligence?

"The name of the angel is—Michael!"

Although the thoughts turned in her mind, Luvia's movements did not stop. Her gaze crossed Lucia in front of her, and she placed her eyes on the beast in the dark room, calling out the angel name she was given.

Liu Xia didn't stop her, nor did she attack the monster right away.

Luvia's purpose is to obtain the secret method of stripping the city, and his purpose is to use Luvia to enter the eyes of the monarch El-Melloi II, and then enter the clock tower through the protection of the monarch's family.

In view of this, he must benefit Luvia within a certain range, otherwise she may not be willing to spend much effort to help.

"—Ask for the name of an angel."

However, beyond Liu Xia's expectations, the beast did not give any clues for the next stage, but asked the previous sentence repeatedly.

"Is it really not that simple?"

Luvia, on the other hand, looked as expected, sighed, and then took a step back, giving the space to Liuxia, "Liangyi, please take it down and try to capture it alive."

"I see."

Lucia nodded and walked forward.

One ghost and one beast confronted each other.

As if the wild intuition sensed Liu Xia's threat, the beast stood up from the ground, its limbs stretched tightly, as if it would burst into trouble the next moment.

"Roar--"

Before the fight started, the beast pumped its chest violently, opened its mouth wide, and let out a roar carrying a huge amount of magic power in the direction of Liu Xia.

Just an ordinary roar is enough to shake people's eardrums and internal organs, not to mention a magical roar, even if it makes an ordinary person bleed instantly, it is as easy as pie.

Even Luvia behind Liu Xia covered her head in an instant, showing an extremely uncomfortable expression, until she used the 'strengthening' spell on herself to get better.

However, facing the roaring sound, Liu Xia seemed to be alright, not to mention that her internal organs were damaged, she didn't even frown.

"In terms of strength, it is indeed many times better than ordinary people, but it is not necessary to say that it has reached the level of a servant. With this little ability, even a third-rate follower may not be able to match it. At most, it is the level of fighting."

Liu Xia even had the leisure to comment on this monster.

His [skill improvement task] is to let him defeat a servant-level combat power. However, in modern society, it is difficult to find a servant-level combat power even in the clock towers surrounded by magicians, let alone in the stripped city. this place.

The strength of this beast is not even a third-rate follower in Liu Xia's eyes, so he can only bully him who was very weak when he just got the [Unnamed Spirit Base], let him grow up a little bit, it is far better than this beast strong.

"Forget it, take it down, sir."

Liu Xia gave up the plan to use this beast to complete the task of the spirit foundation, and walked forward silently. Under the direct gaze of the beast, the strength of her legs burst out suddenly, and her whole body flashed by like an illusion.

"Goo—"

The beast paused slightly, although it couldn't see the figure clearly, it still gave people a feeling of being shocked, then it immediately raised its forelegs instinctively, and blocked in front of it.

"Snapped!"

The next moment, a whip kicked in front of it unexpectedly, sending it flying.

"Aww!"

The beast hit the wall, let out a slightly painful whine, and its forelimbs were trembling, but immediately after, it became fierce, kicked its hind legs violently, raised its sharp claws, and pointed towards Liuxia's chest Stab over here.

"There are countless ways to attack, and the way of fighting is no different from that of hooligans on the side of the road."

Liu Xia didn't even have the idea of ​​hand-to-hand combat with the opponent. The moment the beast rushed over, he didn't retreat but advanced. In an instant, he broke into it through the gap between its forelegs, and spared no effort to punch it directly in the chest. Pound away.
