Luis‘ display of strength and his eerie abilities in killing the straight sword warrior left the lackeys who came up afterwards stunned in place for a moment. The leader’s death made them hesitate to act rashly, and a few of them even started to back away.
Bang!
After sheathing the long knife in his left hand and quickly pulling out the loaded ambition, Luis aimed it at the closest person next to him and fired a shot. The damage caused by the bullet shot from the ambition was definitely not something the ordinary bodies of these people could withstand. The man was hit in the chest, directly bursting into a blossom of blood, revealing the chilling white bones inside.
This attack finally dispelled the courage of those who had stayed behind. Once one person started running down, naturally there would be a second one. Soon, there was only Luis left on the rooftop, but his expression at that moment was not pleasant.
„Cut, you should be more careful with such dangerous actions in the future,“ Luis muttered to himself, covering his throat with his hand.
In the recent battle, the weakness of the distortion finally surfaced. Once the distortion time was prolonged, it would cause a great burden on the body. Since it was the first time he had tried this skill in actual combat, Luis deliberately extended the distortion time to ensure that he did not make a mistake. This resulted in the feeling of stiffness in his neck when he cancelled the distortion, making even turning his neck difficult.
Fortunately, there were no more powerful enemies appearing, allowing him to scare off the lackeys with the power of ambition. Clutching his throat and picking up an umbrella from the ground, the next step was naturally to retrieve the enchanted long knife as Sarah had mentioned.
Approaching the water tank, Luis did not intend to damage it. He directly mobilized dark energy to form a claw that reached inside. After a while of rummaging around with his senses, a long knife with a purple sheath was pulled out by the dark energy claw.
Taking the long knife and slowly pulling open the handle, a sharp sensation that pierced the eye emanated from the black-purple blade that was only partially exposed, as Luis reinserted the knife into the sheath, nodding in satisfaction.
„Enchanted with the sharp attribute. It’s indeed a good knife! Since I obtained it on a rainy day, I’ll name you ‚Water Breaker‘!“
The term „enchantment“ does not simply mean that an object is sealed with a spell. When enchanting weapons like long knives, the preferred attributes are not usually spells, but rather traits such as sharpness that make cutting easier. Attributes like stability make the object less prone to damage, making them the prime choice for enchanting armor. Items that are truly sealed with spells are mostly accessories, like the Flame Hand Ring Luis was currently wearing.
These were all things that Luis had learned from chatting with Moritz. Besides enchanters, it was not easy for others to distinguish between various attributes. He had only seen the state of sharpness on his father’s weapon before, and based on his memory, his father’s main weapon seemed to give off a more dazzling feeling, as if one glance could be pierced by the sharpness of the sword scattering around.
Removing the ordinary long knife from his right waist and donning Water Breaker, Luis adjusted its position. Holding an umbrella in one hand and the removed long knife in the other, he turned and walked towards the spot where he had dealt with the straight sword warrior earlier.
Moritz had once told Luis that a mature demon hunter is skilled in utilizing everything, so one should not let go of the valuables on the enemies, as earning money through them is always faster than buying. What a good teacher.
Having been influenced by Moritz for half a year, Luis had not had a chance to practice his two previous missions. Now, after searching the bodies, he found a money bag and took away the seemingly good-quality knife between them as spoils before leaving the rooftop satisfied. Due to the windbreaker being soaked and needing to visit the laundry room again, when he arrived home, it was already nearing evening. Upon entering, he saw Sarah lying on the couch, staring at dumplings wide-eyed.
Seeing his owner return, the dumplings immediately jumped a few times and flew into Luis’s arms, twisting around.
„Isn’t your cat so strange? If I want to drink a milk tea, is that also strange? Do you know I still haven’t had a sip of water until now!“
„Oh, dann geh und trink jetzt etwas, aber du darfst nur Wasser trinken, Milchtee kannst du vergessen, das ist für mich und die Teigtaschen reserviert“, sagte Luis.
Luis steckte den Regenschirm in den Schirmständer nebenan, zog seinen Mantel aus und hängte ihn auf den Kleiderbügel. Das lange Messer und der gerade Schwert in seiner Hand legte er bereit, um sie zu verkaufen. Er nahm das gebrochene Schwert und ein anderes langes Messer von sich ab und legte sie auf das Sofa. Der Ehrgeiz blieb immer an seiner Taille ohne abgenommen zu werden.
„Hmpf, so ein Schwert wird tatsächlich an jemanden billig verkauft, der so selbstsüchtig ist wie du. Und hast du das gerade Schwert von einem sehr kräftigen Mann als Waffe zurückbekommen? Er hat mich doch tatsächlich gejagt.“
„Oh, es gab diesen Typen, ich habe mir die Mühe gemacht, ihn aus dem Weg zu räumen, ich habe sein Geldbeutel genommen und das gerade Schwert sah auch gut aus, also habe ich es einfach mitgenommen.“
Luis kümmerte sich nicht sonderlich um den bereits gestorbenen Feind, ging in die Küche, kochte Wasser auf und holte die bereits vorbereiteten Schweinefleischkohl-Teigtaschen heraus, um das Abendessen vorzubereiten.
„Du verschwendest wirklich nichts, haha“, Sarah ging in die Küche, schenkte sich ein Glas Wasser ein und trank.
„Ich möchte klarstellen, dass ich, sobald ich das verzauberte lange Messer habe, mein Versprechen einhalten werde, also kannst du hier die nächsten drei Tage bleiben. Solange du nicht herumstreunst und Ärger machst, kann ich deine Sicherheit garantieren, aber nur hier. Wenn du rausgehst und stiehlst und erwischt wirst, erwarte nicht, dass ich zurückkomme und dir helfe, ich bin nicht dein Leibwächter.“
„Ich weiß das schon! Du musst mich nicht extra darauf hinweisen!“
„Gut.“
Nachdem die Teigtaschen fertig gekocht waren, schöpfte Luis die Hälfte der Teigtaschen auf zwei Teller und stellte sie auf den Tisch. Er nahm auch eine kleine Schale Essig für sich selbst, machte s
