Novel Full Chapter 161 Butcher
“That thing is looking at us… doesn’t it?” Priscilla spoke as she naturally stepped back.
Her spells and mystical items don’t work well with a possessed person. At most, she can use her movement spell to run away.
As for Philip, he also has a terrible match-up against such a being. He has a Blood Curse Spell and Severe Ailment Spell but they’re not going to work well against a possessed person.
He can use his Lesser Corruption Sword Armlet against it but it is still on cooldown today.
After their battle against Terrence’s group, his formed sword was destroyed and needed some time to recover. Furthermore, even if it works, the Darkness Sword may not necessarily be enough to deal with the thick-skinned butcher.
Furthermore, according to their studies, a possessed person would normally have 3 or 5 times their strength and would also have resistance against lower-tier Spells.
“I think we should run… Vale, don’t play a hero and deal with it. There should be plenty of authorities here. This is a huge city after all…” Philip said as he looked at Vale with a serious expression.
He was afraid that Vale would try and use his Ghost Hands to fight with it. Although Vale can probably use it to delay the possessed person, he doesn’t think that it’s enough to win.
It is because of the affinity of the possessed person and the dark spell!
It means that the Ghost Hands wouldn’t be as effective when used against someone with the Darkness attribute…
“Don’t worry, I’m not thinking of joining the fight… There are already some police officers rushing over. I’m more worried about the person who made him like that.” Vale muttered in a soft voice.
“What? Are you telling me that someone used a spell to possess that guy?” Philip asked filled with worry.
“That’s correct… That person is still inside the slaughterhouse and observing the situation…”
“Ugh… What are they thinking?! Look, there are already a few injured and dead people!” Priscilla added as she realized that they were too late and there were already some casualties… They didn’t notice these corpses for a while since they were too stunned at the menacing presence of the possessed butcher.
“Die!” 𝙡𝓪.𝒄
As Vale’s group was observing the slaughterhouse, they heard someone’s voice as a brave commoner thought of killing the possessed person!
He’s probably a relative of one of the dead bodies on the ground and he wanted a revenge for that…
He was only equipped with a hammer so he was aiming to smash the head of the butcher…
Bam!
The hammer successfully hit the butcher’s head but it feels as if he hit a slab or rock instead!
The butcher didn’t flinch and he simply waved his cleaver aiming to slice the man!
Priscilla squinted her eyes thinking that the man would be cut in half, however, the police finally arrived as they heard a series of gunshots!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three shots were fired…
This time, the butcher stumbled on his feet and missed his target!
“Go away! You’re just going to add to the casualties! Let us handle this!”
A group of police officers wearing blue uniforms appeared as they barricaded the street. They have truncheons on their waist and revolvers in their hands.
They seem to know what was going on as they weren’t surprised at the sturdy butcher who can resist bullets.
The man who had failed to kill the butcher followed the officer’s instruction and fled quickly…
Suddenly, as Vale’s group was thinking that this matter would be handled swiftly, another police officer came to their side.
It was a young male officer who seemed to be in a rush.
“Are you guys Arcane Arts Practitioners? Perhaps you’re from Holy Arts Faction? Can you help us exorcise this thing?” The young officer asked as he seemed to have noticed their status based on how they carried themselves into this supposedly scary situation.
Vale was quite amused by the question as he answered. “No, we’re not from the Holy Arts Faction… Furthermore, we’re only freshmen students as well. We haven’t learned anything that can be useful in this situation… Please try and ask those guys that were observing the situation. They’re near the flower shop.”
As he said this, he pointed at the flower shop not too far from their location… Three people wearing white and blue trench coats can be seen in that place and although Vale wasn’t sure, they seem to be capable of dealing with this issue.
The young officer also noticed their presence as he nodded in agreement.
“Then, may I ask what faction you belong to?” He asked.
Vale actually didn’t want to tell him that but since he deliberately asked, he can only reveal it.
However, before he can speak, Priscilla already answered.
“We’re from the Dark Arts Faction…”
She didn’t mind answering this question but she soon realized that something was off after looking at the young officer’s reaction.
“Dark Arts?” The young officer repeated with a serious tone in his voice.
It seems that he was already being wary of them based on his body’s reaction.
“…”
Philip also realized what was going on as he already got a hint from Vale a moment ago…
Since Vale found out that someone orchestrated this incident, the officers had perhaps noticed this as well but couldn’t find the culprit as he did!
If that’s the case, they might become the mastermind of this incident because they belong to the faction that should have expertise in this type of mystical incident!
“Is there a problem with it?” Vale asked as he looked at the young officer who was in his twenties.
Well, Vale is still an Arcane Arts Practitioner who had seen many mystical things over the past year… He won’t easily be intimidated by a police officer like before.
The officer hesitated for a moment before shaking his head and leaving their side. He went to ask the ones in the flower shop instead.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At this time, another series of gunshots were heard as the possessed butcher started moving closer to the other group of officers.
Vale and the other two shifted their attention to what was happening and confirmed that the butcher was still unharmed and no bullet holes can be seen on his body… It was quite baffling since they shouldn’t be this durable.
‘It’s a good thing that they can’t move quickly.’ Vale thought as he sees that the butcher is simply briskly walking.
However, as soon as he thought of this, the plump butcher suddenly pounced towards the nearest officer and slammed his body making the poor officer similar to a meat paste!
