Chapter 239 The Claw in the Basement
Chapter 239 The Claw in the Basement
It is said to have a long history, but in fact it is about 200 years old.
The history of the United States is only 200 years, and the buildings here cannot be so long no matter how long they are.
Unless it is the thatched house of the aboriginal Indians, otherwise, it is not easy to find a truly historic building in the United States.
Like Wayne Manor, this manor is also far away from the center of Gotham, located in the scenic outskirts of Gotham.
Compared with Gotham City, which has its own depressing atmosphere, the environment here is not only better at 01:30.
This is the estate of the Elliot family, one of Gotham's four major families.
On the surface, the Elliot family doesn't have much to do with Gotham's underworld.
But in fact, the reputation of the Elliott family in the underground world is no lower than that of the crime families like Falcone.
In Roger's memory, the most famous figure in the Elliott family was "Silent" Thomas Elliott.
Like Bruce, Thomas Elliott was now the head of the family.
The Elliott family and the Wayne family are family friends, and Thomas Elliott and Bruce have been friends since childhood.
Although they are friends, he is intensely jealous of Bruce.
In order to imitate Bruce, he even murdered his biological parents in a car accident, inherited their property, and became the head of the Elliot family.
His jealousy of Bruce has reached a perverted level. For this reason, he even did plastic surgery to look like Bruce, and wrapped his face with bandages, claiming to be silent.
This is the silent message in Roger's memory, but the current Thomas obviously hasn't developed to this level of perversion.
At least he hasn't had plastic surgery to look like Bruce yet.
After arriving at the manor of the Elliot family, Roger did not come out of the green space immediately, but browsed the manor relying on the parallel characteristics of the green space and the real world.
Although Thomas is now the leader of the Elliott family, he has absolute control over the Elliott family.
However, he did not directly manage the family assets like the heads of other families, but became a plastic surgeon.
As for the company's affairs, he handed them all over to professional managers.
At this point, I don't know if it's his own decision, or imitating Bruce's approach.
After wandering around the manor for a while, Roger came to the room where the suspected Talon's life signal was located.
Strictly speaking, the life signal he perceives is not in the manor room, but in the manor's basement.
Although there is a strict security system in the estate of the Elliott family, for Roger, who is walking in the green space, these security systems do not exist.
Relying on the special properties of the green space, he quickly arrived at the secret basement below the manor without disturbing anyone.
Compared with the resplendent and luxurious manor above, the basement is a completely different world.
It's dark, gloomy, and one or two mice appear from time to time.
Roger ignored the environment in the basement and walked towards the perceived life signal.
There are three life signals that are suspected to be sharp claws, and judging from the information displayed by the life signals, these three people are currently in a deep sleep.
Without much effort, Roger came to the prison-like room.
In this death row-like room, there are three coffin-like boxes.
Good luck!
After seeing these three coffin-like special boxes, Roger knew he had come to a place tonight.
Normal people would definitely not sleep in such a coffin-like box. The only people who would do so were those sharp claws that could survive without eating normally.
Taking advantage of the characteristics of the green space, Roger can easily see the people inside without opening these "coffins".
Just as he imagined, the "coffin" lay humans wearing combat uniforms and carrying cold weapons.
Looking at the three thoughtful claws, Roger walked out of the green space.
Then, like knocking on the door, knocked on the three "coffins".
As soon as he finished knocking, the sleeping Talon woke up.
In the next second, the three sharp claws pushed open the panel of the "coffin" and walked out.
The three sharp claws that appeared in front of Roger now were all men.
In terms of age, it is around 40 to [-] years old.
Of course, this is only the age judged by appearance.
How long they have lived, it is estimated that even they themselves do not know.
Although the Dionysian factor used by the sharp claw is inferior, it still has the effect it should have, but the effect is weaker.
So it is not an easy task to judge their real age from their appearance.
Regardless of the fact that they are all middle-aged now, if they are really counted by human standards, they may even be six to seventy years old, or even hundreds of years old.
Lars al-Ghul, the ninja master of the League of Assassins, also used the Lazarus Pool formed by the inferior version of the Dionysian factor, but he has lived for more than 700 years with the immortal body endowed by the inferior version of the Dionysian factor.
So it's hard to say how long the three sharp claws in front of Roger have lived.
After crawling out of the coffin, the three sharp claws looked at Roger suspiciously.
After discovering that Roger was not their "master", the three sharp claws pulled out weapons such as short knives and daggers from their bodies without any hesitation, and rushed towards Roger like a preying beast.
The claws of the Owl Court, without exception, have agility and superb fighting skills.
If they are dealing with ordinary people, they are no different from strengthened people.
But it's a pity that what they are facing now is not an ordinary person, but Roger, who is even more monster than them.
Roger doesn't have the ability to use a devil fruit, not even the Six Forms.
When the three sharp claws attacked him, he didn't dodge, let alone back down, and directly faced the three sharp claws, playing melee combat with them.
Although Roger is now unarmed, but after the real fight, the three sharp claws realized what kind of enemy they were facing now.
I saw Roger coming to one of the claws like lightning, and swung a simple and rough straight fist.
Bang!
Roger's right fist hit the Talon's chest like a cannonball, knocking him flying, and hit the basement wall heavily.
If an ordinary person is punched by Roger like this, the probability of dying on the spot is infinitely close to one hundred.
However, the sharp claws transformed by the inferior version of Dionysus factor and amber gold showed their immortality at this time.
The sharp claws that were completely sunken in the chest recovered rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It didn't take long for him to fully recover.
While this sharp claw was recovering from his injuries, the other two sharp claws took the opportunity to come to Roger, attacking his neck and heart with short knives respectively.
However, before the weapons in their hands could hit Roger, they were kicked away by Roger one by one.
Bang!Bang!
There were two more dull impact sounds in the basement.
Not long after the two sharp claws were kicked out, the original sharp claw stood up and attacked again.
But the result still hasn't changed.
As soon as he came to Roger, he was knocked down by Roger's punch.
Unlike before, Roger used more strength this time.
The claw's head was first dented by Roger's fist, and then had another intimate contact with the ground.
Compared with the injury just now, the injury suffered by this sharp claw is undoubtedly more serious now.
However, it still didn't take the Talon's life.
Under Roger's watchful eyes, the Talon's head began to gradually return to its original shape.
At the same time, the two sharp claws that were kicked away by him rushed towards him again.
Without any hesitation, Roger gave the two Talons the same treatment and punched them in the head.
It's just that, compared with the sharp claw on the ground that has not yet climbed up, the force he used this time is a bit stronger.
The two sharp claws that rushed towards him were smashed by Roger's punch without even a chance to fall to the ground.
Bright red blood and white brains splattered everywhere.
In order to avoid getting the blood and brains on himself, Roger drew back a distance.
He didn't intend to kill the three sharp claws right now, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to survive even one move.
Roger just wanted to see what the immortality of these sharp claws was all about, so he used a purely physical attack without any extraordinary power.
The two sharp claws whose heads had been smashed fell to the ground, and the blood that flowed out began to flow along the cracks on the ground.
After watching this for more than ten seconds, the original sharp claw stood up.
It only takes more than ten seconds for a fatal injury to fully recover.
This recovery speed is not very fast, but for ordinary people, it is already amazing.
After the sharp claw got up, Roger didn't give him another chance to attack, he rushed forward, and then broke his neck and hands.
recover, get up, get hurt, fall down, recover...
The sharp claw whose head was not crushed experienced various injuries in the following time.
Falling down again and again, then getting up again and again.
In the process of this sharp claw being continuously injured and getting up, the two sharp claws whose heads were smashed also recovered and launched an attack again.
The recovery speed is not particularly fast, but the degree of recovery is not bad.
Depending on the severity of the injury, the recovery time required will vary.
The degree of recovery without the head is obviously much slower.
Roger is not killing these sharp claws meaninglessly now, but testing the recovery effect of this inferior version of Dionysus factor on them.
From the current point of view, the inferior version of Dionysus factor did give them a certain degree of immortality.
It's just that this immortal body is a bit far from Roger's standard.
This is also something that can't be helped, after all, they are using an inferior version of Dionysus factor, not pure Dionysus factor.
Allowing them to have this level of rapid recovery is already a great deal of face.
When testing how far they can recover quickly, Roger didn't forget to pay attention to their life energy signals with knowledge and arrogance.
As the number of recoveries increased, their life signal strength dropped significantly.
Judging from the number of times they were "reborn" and the strength of the decline in their life signals, they would "die" about fifty or sixty times before they would completely exhaust the inferior version of Dionysus factor in their bodies.
Fifty or sixty times doesn't seem like a lot, but it's worth noting that this was when they were all fatally injured.
If it is in a regular battle, it is basically impossible to receive fifty or sixty fatal injuries in a row.
If the battle is really so fierce, it would be wiser to retreat than to fight to the death.
Now the three sharp claws did not choose to retreat because they had nowhere to go and were blocked by Roger in the basement.
In addition, I don't know if it's his own illusion, but Roger always feels that the three sharp claws in front of him are not human.
It's not that they don't look like humans, nor is it because they have so-called immortality, but that Roger doesn't see in them the rationality that humans should have.
These three sharp claws gave him the same feeling as three wild beasts, just instinctively attacking him, an outsider.
Is this defective?
Roger didn't know much about Talon, but he remembered that Talon also had the thinking and reason of a normal person, and would not have such a beast-like instinctive attack.
If he remembers correctly, some Talons lived normal lives of ordinary people after breaking away from the Court of Owls.
There is also a sharp claw code-named "Owl" who left the court of owls and joined the superhero team "Birds of Prey" and the super villain organization "Secret Six".
All these things proved that the sharp claw has the ability to think normally, and will not come up to death over and over again like the three sharp claws in front of him.
Although he didn't know what happened to the three sharp claws, Roger had no intention of taking them away to study them in detail.
He came here this time just to see the real fighting power and recovery ability of these sharp claws. As for the others, he was not particularly interested.
After getting the information he wanted, he had no intention of playing with these sharp claws, so he used the ability of the magma fruit.
In just an instant, his right arm turned into dark red hot magma.
Without giving the three sharp claws a chance to react, he directly attacked.
A few seconds later, the three sharp claws were completely swallowed by the dark red magma, and their bodies like normal people began to collapse and disintegrate in the high-temperature magma.
The inferior version of Dionysus factor endowed these claws with the ability to recover faster than ordinary people, but it did not give them invincible bodies.
In terms of nature, their bodies are the same as those of normal people.
It's just that they have the power to recover quickly and surpass normal.
After engulfing the three sharp claws with magma, Roger didn't leave the basement immediately, but stayed here for a while.
