Chapter 745

The flat voice seemed to be the cold wind from the extreme north.

The hounds who heard the sound trembled involuntarily.

The silent death of his companion finally made these notorious hounds feel a bit of fear.

And the voice that sounded again afterward made this trace of fear intensify continuously.

"Ninth!"

"The tenth!"

When the sound of two corpses falling to the ground came, the number of hounds dropped by half!

The hounds panicked!

Ever since they joined the 'Elder Council' as hounds, they have never encountered a similar situation.

In every battle, they hunt and kill the mission target with absolute advantage.

But now, it seems to be the other way around!

The unfamiliar feeling made the hounds even more suspicious.

Each of them stood in place, carefully arranging their respective defenses.

From this time on, anyone who comes near them is an enemy.

Not to mention Melanie's order.

The remaining hounds all ignored the other party's instructions.

"asshole!"

Melanie cursed her companion from the bottom of her heart.

At this moment, the hound finally understood Qin Ran's plan.

Qin Ran had no intention of escaping at all, but really wanted to fight them to the death.

Thinking of her wrong command before, Melanie felt a burst of anger, especially after being used by Kieran, the anger made her breathing become rough.

Still, Melanie didn't lose her cool.

She knew that if she didn't want to be broken by Qin Ran, the dust in front of her eyes had to be removed!

Thinking of this, Melanie no longer hesitated.

A thumb-sized magic item in the shape of a conch appeared in her hand.

The next moment, a strong wind blew out from the conch.

call!

The dust dissipated in high winds.

The figure in the sewer became clear again.

The hounds saw each other.

I also saw... Kieran.

Kieran standing beside the sword box!

"superior!"

The regained sight gave the hounds courage again. After a low shout, the four hounds who were good at close combat surrounded Qin Ran and rushed towards Qin Ran.

The two hounds raised their crossbows.

A muffled incantation sounded from the two hounds.

A tall and strong hound grabbed [Kalka's Crush] to prevent Qin Ran from repeating his old trick.

The cooperation between the hounds was completed quickly.

Melanie stared at Qin Ran viciously.

She would not let go of the moment Qin Ran was killed.

Otherwise, how can the hatred in my heart be relieved.

She saw Qin Ran open the sword case, and took out a huge two-handed sword. The whole process was not rushed, and there was even a sense of slowness.

And the attack of the four hounds is close at hand.

Qin Ran was still not in a hurry.

The scene in front of her gave Melanie a bad feeling in her heart.

But the four hounds who rushed to Qin Ran didn't think so much at all. What they saw was Qin Ran's 'caught off guard'.

"Die!"

"Go back!"

The two voices sounded in no particular order.

The former is a hunting dog who is ready to tear Kieran apart.

The latter is Melanie who thought of something.

However, it is too late!

A supernatural shadow enveloped the surrounding area with Qin Ran as the center.

Kieran and the four hounds who were good at close combat disappeared without a trace.

The hound, holding a bow and crossbow and chanting incantations in a low voice, lost its target.

The hound holding on to the [Kalka's Smash] chain was stunned.

They simply did not expect such a change.

Hearing the howling and screaming from the shadows, the faces of the hounds changed again in the face of the unexpected change.

Including Melanie.

The lady who was the head dog of the hounds looked extremely ugly at the moment.

She had received information about Kieran being able to borrow the power of the shadows, but only she knew about it, and she didn't tell the rest of the hounds at all.

Hound and hound are not peaceful and friendly companions.

Fighting and devouring each other is the core of the hounds.

Therefore, Melanie didn't think it would be too much for her to conceal some news.

However, she did not expect that such a concealment would affect a life-and-death battle.

Seeing the panic on the face of the so-called companion after losing the target again, Melanie's heart turned, but she shouted: "Attack!"

After hearing Melanie's words, the hound holding a crossbow fired at the shadow without hesitation.

Whoosh whoosh!

Arrows rained down into the shadows.

The hound, who was chanting a spell under his breath, didn't pause either.

The poisonous mist wrapped in the flames poured into the shadows like a tide.

Then……

Just silence.

In the shadow that blocked the line of sight, no sound came out.

The Hounds watched the shadows, hoping for an outcome that would work out well for them.

At any time, people have a fluke mentality.

Even these hounds are no exception.

"Is he going to die?"

That's what the hound that held on to the [Calca's Smash] chain said.

But as soon as the words fell, the hound was dragged into the shadow by the huge force from the chain, including [Calca's Shattering].

Click!

Amid the crisp sound of the neck being twisted, the remaining four hounds trembled.

It started to attack the shadow like a mad vent.

Arrows, flames, poisonous fog.

Overwhelming!

However, the erected [Amolith Sword] was like the strongest shield, not only blocking the attack for Kieran, but also allowing Kieran who rushed out of the shadow to quickly approach the four hounds.

The four hounds retreated again and again.

They looked at Qin Ran who was approaching, as if they saw the approach of death, and their eyes were terrified.

At the juncture of life and death, the hidden cards of the four hounds appeared.

The ground under Qin Ran's feet turned into a swamp under the flickering light.

Two arm-thick iron chains appeared out of nowhere, binding Kieran who was holding the [Amolith Sword] firmly.

Pulled by a huge suction force, the bound Kieran kept going downwards.

And this is not the end-

boom!

Amidst the loud noise, a three-meter-tall metal puppet with arcane characters branded all over its body waved its fist and threw it at Qin Ran.

Faster than it was a black, tiny venomous snake.

The poisonous snake turned into a phantom and pounced on Qin Ran's neck.

The four hounds who were driven to a desperate situation had fierce eyes and hideous expressions.

Whether it is the swamp or the iron chain, they are extremely powerful props, and even a knight like Calca, who is known for his strength, cannot break free at all.

Qin Ran, whose strength is almost the same as Calca's, is naturally the same!

Not to mention the metal puppet that was once used as a siege tool and the black snake that can kill an elephant with a drop of venom!

Therefore, Qin Ran is doomed!

They are so convinced.

It was just the next scene that scared them out of their wits.
