Under the cover of night, two figures quickly rushed into the alleyway, followed by a series of sounds of gold and iron clashing.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding..."

"puff!"

Dinah held the soft sword and stood on the spot with a cold expression, a trace of blood slowly sliding down the blade to the ground.

She looked at the figure in front of her and said in a cold voice:

"You are the ones taking away other people's life force, refining potions, and then selling them to noble ladies in the city at high prices?"

During this period of time, she has been investigating the 'Vampire Mummy Case'. Although she did not receive support from her colleagues, under her tireless pursuit, she still found that the person who stole the life force was not one person, but an organized and premeditated gang.

They disguise themselves as 'vampires', kill people, steal life force, and then refine it into a pure potion that can make people look immortal and even restore their youth.

And then earn huge profits.

Today she finally got the news that someone was secretly trading potions here, and she almost lost the target because she didn't have tickets to the opera house.

Fortunately,

In the end, there was no danger and the other party was finally caught.

"Well..." The figure covered his injured arm with his face, his face turned pale:

"I don't know what you're talking about!"

"Don't know?" Dinah snorted coldly:

"Don't say it, right? I have plenty of ways to make you say it."

Before her voice fell, she charged forward with her sword.

Dinah, who has been tempering her body for many years, charges like a strong female leopard. The soft sword in her hand is the fang for hunting prey, and her movements are extremely sharp.

But seeing the sword light flashing in the field, the opponent had to retreat and dodge wildly, but blood spurts still shot out from time to time.

The two fought against each other, with clear strengths and weaknesses.

"Uh-huh!"

Just when he was about to capture his opponent, two arc-shaped lights and shadows suddenly appeared and twisted towards Dinah's waist.

"bite……"

Dinah swung her sword to intercept, pulled away and flew back, with a look of surprise on her face:

"What's this?"

"Hehe..." The figure lowered his head and smiled.

Then he suddenly pulled with his hands and tore the coat on his body, while also revealing the horrifying scene below.

But when I saw the shadow on this man's back shaking, he actually had two more pairs of arms than an ordinary person, with six arms stretched out, as weird as a humanoid spider.

The six arms, each holding a dagger, are not only weird but also dangerous.

"monster!"

Dinah's face turned pale and she subconsciously took a step back. At the same time, an ancient rumor came to mind:

"You are a follower of Elise!"

"Bold!" Upon hearing the name 'Elise', the weirdo suddenly became furious, his eyes turned red instantly, and the rising anger directly destroyed his sanity:

"How dare you blaspheme God, damn it!"

"Uh-huh!"

Along with its angry roar, six rays of cold light were already piercing towards Dinah, as fast as a heavy rain.

But it goes as quickly as it comes.

The power of a peak-level knight attendant is comparable to that of a ferocious beast, and Dinah, who is using all her strength, is even more terrifying.

The six-handed monster is weird and terrifying, but its power is only that of an ordinary knight's attendant. It's just that the two extra pairs of arms are more troublesome to deal with, but it is far from closing the gap between the two sides.

"It's nothing more than that."

After repelling her opponent, Dinah felt relieved:

"It seems that the Spider Goddess has not sent you a blessing."

The spider goddess Elise is a legendary evil god and monster who tried to steal the power of the good god but was cursed. It is said that she has the body of a spider and the head of a human.

Most of the descriptions about him are cruel and bloodthirsty, especially fond of taking away the life force of others.

"hey-hey……"

The monster slowly stood up from the ground, looked up, and grinned:

"Of course I can't do it alone, but...what if we add them to it?"

The sound falls.

Dinah's expression changed suddenly.

"Uh-huh!"

"Swish!"

Three figures fell from a high place one after another, surrounding Dinah.

Each of them has arms on its back, six hands pressing on the ground, hissing like a spider, and spraying out lines of spider silk as its abdomen rises and falls.

Spider silk intertwined into a web, covering the entire alleyway in an instant.

Damn it!

Dinah's hands tightened.

"Give way!"

"Please give way!"

"..."

Walking out of the opera house, there was still a crowd of people in front of the door.

Karl tapped his cane lightly, ran straight into it, and forced his way out of a passage with a strong force.

Leaving the crowd, he straightened his somewhat harsh clothes, and instead of leaving, he went straight to the back door of the theater.

"squeak……"

Soon after, the back door opened, and Jenny, who had not yet taken off her makeup and changed into her singing clothes, came out.

The two agreed to meet here after the concert.

"Karl."

Smiling sweetly at Karl, Jenny said crisply:

"I saw you on stage."

"Good performance." Karl praised:

"I think your voice is more beautiful than the lead singer. If I were to choose, I would definitely choose you as the lead singer."

"Don't be kidding." Jenny smiled and shook her head:

"You don't know, I was so scared that my legs could hardly stand. I was satisfied if I could hold on."

"What I said is the truth." Karl issued an invitation:

"Do you want to go back together?"

"This..." Jenny looked back, hesitant.

The concert group has a party later, but if they can be alone with the Baron, they can refuse.

Before Jenny could answer, Karl continued: "Just in time, I found a house today and will move there in the next few days."

"It's a blessing to see you perform on a formal stage before I leave."

"You want to leave?" Jenny's face turned pale:

"Why?"

"Is there something wrong with us? It can be changed if you tell me, and the rent can be negotiated."

"No." Karl waved:

"I just wanted to change places."

“…” Jenny’s expression was stiff and her lips trembled:

"Yeah?"

"I'm very happy to live with you. These days will be beautiful memories in my life." Karl smiled:

"But people always have to separate. As the proverb says, the only constant in life is change. When I finish packing up the new house, you are welcome to visit."

"...Okay." Jenny clasped her hands, lowered her head, and said in a dull voice:

"I won't go with you until the concert group has a party. Be careful on the way... on the way."

"Party?" Karl nodded:

"Well, I wish you a happy party. I'll leave first."

As he spoke, he bent down to signal and turned to leave.

Watching Karl's back disappear into the darkness until he could no longer see it, Jenny slumped to the ground with silent tears in her eyes.

"Jenny."

Percy from the concert group appeared behind him at some point, and sighed upon seeing this:

"We will meet many people in our lives, but the only ones who can accompany us throughout our lives may be God and our loved ones. Even our parents and children will leave us."

And said:

"Separation is the norm."

"Ugh..." Jenny sobbed softly.

She understood this truth, but whenever she thought that Karl would be far away from her life, or even never appear again, she couldn't help but feel sad, heart-wrenching sadness.

"Stop crying." Percy stepped forward and patted her shoulder:

"I have good news for you. Your performance today attracted a big shot. Maybe it will be a better opportunity."

…………

How could Karl not understand Jenny’s thoughts.

However, he didn't intend to take the relationship between the two any further, so he simply broke off the relationship before it was too late.

In addition to wanting a spacious place for this move, there are also other reasons for this.

"Um?"

Walking through an alley, Karl's expression changed slightly and he subconsciously stopped.

Then he turned around and headed towards the dark alley.

"clatter……"

"never mind!"

Shaking his head at the entrance of the alley, Karl stopped walking.

Although Signo City is much safer than the Black City, there are also terrorist organizations such as the Fire Thief secretly, so absolute safety cannot be guaranteed.

It is better to do less than to do more.

His thoughts turned, and he turned around to leave.

"Uh-huh!"

suddenly.

A flash of cold light passed by.

Karl lowered his head subconsciously to avoid the incoming dagger, and saw a black shadow rushing towards him.

"What?"
