That head really made people feel — unappetizing.
It looked like a normal person … It was the result of a failure to heal after his face was smashed by a blunt object. Moreover, there was not much flesh on this face. It was so thin that even the outline of the skull could be seen.
Its ears seemed to have been torn by something. The edges were jagged as if they had been gnawed by a dog. The sharp edges extended to both sides. Its big brownish-yellow eyes were a little turbid. The head and the thin arms were obviously out of proportion, but its movements did not seem sluggish at all.
Although its head was big and its body was small, this guy's movements were not slow at all. It directly jumped out of the portal, but the moment it landed on the ground, its whole body shivered.
Because its bare feet stepped on the snow on the ground.
The clothes that this fellow was wearing were simply a few pieces of rags. They were also as dirty as if he had rolled through a muddy swamp. His heels were polished from walking barefoot for a long time. The stench that came from his clothes was really unflattering.
It seemed to quickly adapt to the cold temperature. Although its body was still shivering, its pair of sneaky eyes looked around. Then, it instinctively looked at the green forest at the foot of the mountain.
At this time, another head popped out of the portal. It looked very similar to this one, and of course, it was just as dirty.
The first guy who walked out said something to its companion who was still on the other side of the portal. That companion hesitated for a moment and then jumped out. Then, one by one, the wretched-looking and stinky fellows of its kind crawled out.
This smell lingered on the snowy mountain for a long time. If one were to carefully identify it, there seemed to be a pungent smell similar to sulfur.
These strange fellows were less than 1.3 meters tall. They had thin arms and legs, but their heads were about the size of a normal human. They looked like they were swaying when they walked. After coming out of the portal, they did not hesitate to follow the first guy who came out and walked to the foot of the mountain.
This group of twenty to thirty monsters had not gone far when the still trembling portal began to slowly close. In a few minutes, it disappeared without a trace.
But not long after, there was another flash of light at the place where the portal had just appeared, and another portal of the same size slowly opened in the same way. This time, the size of the portal was slightly different, and it seemed to be slightly bigger than the previous one.
Similarly, not long after, a creature that had never appeared on this continent popped its head out from the portal. It seemed to be some kind of canine, but it had a yellowish horn. Its appearance was strange. Its eyes were red, and its head was black as if it had been scorched by fire. However, its body from its neck down was khaki with green spots.
After leaping out of the portal, the first thing it did was to pee on the ground unhurriedly. Then, it sniffed as if it was declaring its ownership of this territory. Soon after, seven to eight similar creatures also leaped out of the portal. They didn't seem to be interested in the cold environment. After sniffing for a long time, they lowered their heads and followed their leader down the mountain.
Such scenes were repeated.
* * *
Today, Henry was still strolling on the streets of Sirius. His slightly tattered linen clothes were not eye-catching. Although his hood and mask were different from the rest, because he always kept his head down, his face hidden in the shadows was not eye-catching.
But today, his footsteps seemed to be a little hurried, as if he was avoiding something.
He walked into a sparsely populated alley. The hustle and bustle of the outside world seemed to be isolated after turning a corner. Harry suddenly stopped and turned around to look behind him.
His pupils shrank, and Henry suddenly made a move!
His hands touched the hilt of his scimitars, and he did not hesitate to pull out two scimitars with his hands covered in leather gloves. In the cold light, Henry, who had made a starting gesture, instantly blocked the scimitars at his back!
"Clang!"
A crisp sound came out, but it made Henry's body suddenly stagger forward. But he did not hesitate to swing his scimitar behind him, and at the same time, he blocked the left side of his chest with another scimitar!
"Clang!"
Another sound, and Henry saw clearly that the person who attacked him was an old man with a hunched back. He was dressed in black, but his eyes were looking at him with ridicule.
Henry's figure flashed a purple light, and his movements became faster in an instant. The scimitar went straight for the old man's chin. For such an inexplicable attacker, Henry would never say any unnecessary nonsense.
The old man looked at the scimitar coming at him, but he did not dodge at all. The weapon in his hand was an inconspicuous dagger. At this moment, he ignored the attack of Henry's scimitar and stabbed the dagger straight in front of him. But halfway through the movement, the dagger suddenly disappeared and appeared behind Henry's already extended scimitar. The dagger went straight for Henry's ribs!
From this, it could be seen that the opponent was experienced. If it was the same trick, many people would only attack the enemy's back at the beginning, but this old man chose to appear behind Henry's already extended arm. This was Henry's blind spot at this moment!
The dirty dagger waved without hesitation, but it stabbed the air. But in the next moment, he also disappeared with a "poof". A scimitar just swung across his chest, but it stabbed a group of shadows.
The old man's elbow suddenly hit Henry's outstretched forearm. At the same time, the snow-white scimitar was bounced off, and the empty fist drew a shadow in the air that was hard to be seen by the naked eye. "Pa Pa Pa", it hit Henry's body continuously!
But Henry was not afraid. He raised his leg and kicked the old man's knee. At the same time, the scimitar in his left hand also swung at the old man's chest. He did not care about the three hits at all!
The old man's fist hit Henry's body, but it did not cause any earth-shattering effect. On the contrary, Henry did not even feel any force. As for his attack, the old man did not even look at it. A layer of black and purple smoke suddenly appeared around his body and suddenly condensed into a shield-like shield, blocking Henry's attack!
When the shield was hit by Henry, it did not make a sound, but Henry was so surprised that his pupils dilated in an instant!
Henry could condense dark energy outside his body, but the degree of condensation depended on his strength.
When the old man's dark energy shield was hit by Henry, it did not bounce off Henry's strength like an ordinary shield. On the contrary, Henry felt as if his strength was absorbed by the shield!
His leg kicked the shield, but there was no sign of it bouncing off. Instead, it was like kicking a layer of tough sandbag, and the scimitar was stuck in the shield as if it had hit a thick gelatinous substance!
This feeling of his strength being completely absorbed made Henry unable to change his move in time. The old man's next attack seemed to be launched immediately. Henry trembled slightly, and with a "Pa" sound, three identical figures appeared beside the old man!
The old man did not care at all. He lifted his foot and stomped on the ground, but there was no sound. Instead, the figures that suddenly appeared instantly collapsed!
Harry's figure had already switched to a position furthest away from the old man in the process of cloning. The instant the other three clones disappeared into thin air, Harry's figure also disappeared into thin air with a 'pu' sound!
However, the old man's figure instantly disappeared from where he stood, and then he appeared on the roof at the side. His arm was straight, and his fingers were like a knife. His arm stretched straight forward, and Harry's figure suddenly appeared in the air. In order to avoid the old man's attack, Harry twisted his body, and barely dodged the attack. However, he lost the initiative in the following battle.
But the old man did not seem to have the intention to attack. He put down his straightened arm and looked at Henry, who was holding the scimitar. Henry adjusted his body's center of gravity and was ready to fight back at any time, but he did not rush to attack again.
"Working for Oditore?"
The old man's voice was very hoarse. He looked at Henry with his hands behind his back.
Henry did not answer. In this situation, he was not interested in chatting with the guy who had followed him for half a day and attacked him.
"I know what you've done. It's perfect, isn't it?
But I think there must be some other purpose for a territory's intelligence department to be so big. "
