Chapter 251: Puss in Boots (2)
Diolan let out a small breath with a 'kkingk' sound. Nevertheless, due to his massive size, his presence was quite imposing.
Lucent's body froze stiff.
It was the same principle as freezing when facing a tiger, feeling ultra-low frequency waves through his body.
At this moment, Diolan had a kind of magical power that could freeze people, whether intentional or not.
Diolan slowly approached the closed door with his gigantic body.
There was no sound of footsteps. Despite his massive frame, it was incredibly quiet.
Finally, when Diolan leaned his head toward the door.
-Swish.
His body seemed to become like a fluid, seeping into the door and then suddenly disappearing.
It was a scene that was hard to believe even while watching. Not through an appropriately sized passage, but passing through the tiny crevices of a tightly closed door as if being sucked in.
At this point, it seemed less like a giant cat and more like a mass of darkness taking some form.
"W-what is that...?"
"Catsy can move without being restricted to any place. The simple physical laws that block his path can't restrain him."
The only thing that made this possible was the old boots Diolan had carefully taken off.
"What should we do with those boots?"
"Leave them. Eventually, he'll come back and wear them again. It's best not to touch them with the intention of keeping them. Diolan especially hates having his boots touched."
Could that easygoing smiling Diolan get angry?
It was hard to imagine. But recalling his giant form just now, one could be certain it would be terrifyingly scary.
"As I roughly expected, Diolan was indeed from the 'summoned beast' side."
It was then that Osian, who had been quietly standing, spoke.
"You knew?"
"I had a vague sense. From movements incongruent with his massive body, to movements that defy physical laws. For something like this to be possible, it could only be witchcraft."
Witches use various magic through their craft.
Among them, there were also witches who controlled summoned beasts.
"Was that why Diolan is looking for [Mother Goose]?"
"From what you know, it seems you've been told everything."
Edgar's words drove a wedge of certainty into Osian's speculation.
Diolan's true identity was the summoned beast Catsy, created by the great witch [Mother Goose].
Perhaps Diolan's
The gun barrels spewed fire and shell casings dropped.
The automatic rifles they used were special military-grade, maximizing penetration and destructive power.
In other words, they were weapons no mere fixer dealing with street gangs could handle.
"Is it...over?"
After emptying an entire magazine, they stared inside.
At that moment, a yellow light flickered within the anesthetic gas.
Like yellow paint spreading on a white canvas, a knight soon walked out the door.
A white knight with a brilliant golden halo above his head.
Blue light flowed from inside the helmet targeting the guards.
"Shoot, shoot! Keep shooting!"
"Open fire all at once!"
The guards who immediately changed magazines fired at Osian.
Falling like a rain of lead about to touch Osian's body.
-Kling!
The wheel behind Osian's head began to rotate fiercely.
With the wheel rotating like shifting gears, the lead bullets flying toward Osian disappeared, engulfed in yellow flames in midair.
"What the hell is that!"
"Shoot! Keep shooting!"
In the corridor filled with gunshots and muzzle flashes that hurt both eyes and ears, Osian slowly moved his steps.
Around Osian, who was just walking lightly, yellow flames flickered and disappeared.
This was proof that the bullets had failed to complete their mission.
Only the mercilessly dropped shell casings weakly proved that the bullets had been fired.
"Retreat and join the rear!"
Just as the team leader shouted this and tried to escape, one side of the passage's wall exploded with a bang.
And emerging from inside, scattering white anesthetic gas, was a young boy holding a massive blue hammer.
"You've had enough preparation, right?"
