Chapter 148 The Unprepared Magician Takes the Stage
Can a simple curse really kill a Sequence 5 Beyonder?
That's probably not easy.
Unless their heads are forcibly held down, it is very difficult for extraordinary beings to drown.
This isn't the open sea, after all.
Rosago used a paper doll as a substitute again, easily avoiding the curse this time.
If he hadn't been careless earlier, he would have choked on the water and almost drowned.
He only needs to shout in ancient Hermetic, "No!"
This little curse will be dispelled directly.
"The methods used by the Aurora Society are disgusting."
Rosago thought to himself.
He began to swim upstream, but this time he was far less composed than before, and instead felt more anxious.
Even the Secret Puppet Ambassador would be greatly suppressed in the water.
He needed to get ashore quickly; this time he had really been careless. The divination had clearly indicated no danger, and these were indeed just two mid-to-low-sequence extraordinary beings.
I never expected that they would be able to produce so many precious and extraordinary items, and these items even evaded his divination.
As Rosago approached the water's surface, from the perspective of the Spirit Threads, he could already see something unseen hidden in the unseen places above the water.
"No matter how you try to hide, you can't escape my notice."
As Rosago got closer to the water, he noticed that the spirit lines in his field of vision disappeared. The other party had chosen to retreat and withdraw from the area that the spirit lines could manipulate.
Rosago snapped his fingers and vanished into flames, while in the woods beside the river, the leaves of a large tree were spun around.
He performed a leap into flame, then swiftly took out the crystal and performed a divination. The crystal drooped down, swinging rapidly and violently, as if proclaiming a death sentence.
Extremely dangerous?!
How is that possible?
Rosago looked at the divination result with horror. His figure suddenly stiffened, and a figure wearing a dark red cloak appeared in his eyes. The crimson light gradually brightened, dyeing the forest with a deep red color, as if a full moon had descended.
Resentful soul?
vampire?
The Rose School!
Rosago immediately realized what was happening to him, but it was obviously too late. If he were in his prime, he could have easily dealt with it, but now he had lost the initiative, his paper dolls were being used up in large quantities, he needed time to manipulate the spiritual threads, and he was also affected by the crimson moonlight.
Although the notarized document in his arms was valid, it was, after all, a sealed object, and its use still required certain conditions, such as having it notarized.
He certainly didn't have time. After the crimson glow tilted, his shadow was stretched directly in a specific direction. A black line followed Rosago's shadow, and the shadowy dagger, stained with the hazy, misty moonlight, slashed past.
Master Luo never expected that the opponent, unable to defeat him, would directly call for reinforcements, and that they would arrive so quickly.
He had thoroughly checked the entire ship and the surrounding area before the operation, but he was still tricked.
Mr. Rosago, a Sequence 5, quickly regained his footing under the control of the vengeful spirit.
The Faceless Man's ability to create illusions took effect, and the figure in the dark red cloak disappeared from his eyes. He patted his chest, transferring the injury to his heart to his arm, leaving only a bloody hole. Then he changed direction and chased after the ship again.
At this point, there was already some commotion on the ship.
At least, the commotion caused by the two shadowy creatures bursting forth was seen by a few people.
Klein, of course, did not remain on the ship, which is simply inexplicable.
He simply chose to jump ship. After all, the identity he used when boarding was provided by the accompanying service, so as long as he didn't get caught, he wouldn't have committed any wrongdoing.
After the berserk state ended, although he was somewhat weak, Klein had become much more lucid. If he stayed instead of leaving at this point, things would only get worse.
"Ugh."
Klein was somewhat disheartened. The bodyguards he'd hired for three or four hundred pounds had provided extremely poor service throughout the journey, and when they actually faced the enemy...
They all crumbled at the slightest touch, and later on, they simply abandoned him and ran away. Although I had anticipated this possibility, it still made me feel heartbroken.
Suddenly, an image flashed into Klein's mind: himself being riddled with bullets.
Bang bang bang!
A series of gunshots rang out.
The sound was so dense it sounded like a steam rifle firing.
Done!
Just hearing the sound, Klein knew he was doomed. He wasn't unfamiliar with handguns; the sound was far beyond what was expected of standard weaponry.
He plunged into the water, even though he knew it wouldn't do any good, but he still fantasized that perhaps the current could reduce some of the impact of the bullet.
Whoosh.
A gray-black shadow swept across my eyes.
Klein felt something completely different. It wasn't like being in water, but it felt somewhat like it. It just didn't feel good; it was cold, decadent, and gloomy... like another world.
Before he could feel anything, his waist was wrapped around him, and he was dragged deeper into the depths.
The air bullets passed through the spot where Klein had been, but seemed to be blocked by an invisible cloak of shadow, failing to achieve their intended effect.
"You should probably be thankful that the other party's extraordinary ability is powerful and singular."
"As long as we maintain distance or increase our numbers, it should be relatively safe."
Shael boasted that the Fool's Path had only one ability.
But in reality, that is indeed the case.
The Fool's Path, Sequence 9-6: Although the fancy maneuvers are maxed out, the ability to fight head-on is poor, spell power is average, and there is no "magic damage".
After Shael hides in the shadow world, witches can burn him with spiritual flames, warriors can cut him with the Dawn Sword, and hunters can stab him with the Blazing White Spear.
But the Faceless Man?
The Faceless Man has no way to deal with it. Using paper as weapons is still a physical attack, and using air bullets is still a physical attack. Without any special attributes, he can manipulate flames, but they are ordinary flames that cannot kill people at all!
The Puppet Master is powerful, but there are distance and time limitations to manipulating the threads of spirit. As long as you run fast enough, the Puppet Master has no way to stop you.
Without sufficient prior preparation, a 'magician' is just an 'ordinary person'.
Although Klein didn't understand these mystical concepts, his expression was incredibly subtle when he looked at the talking "black snake" wrapped around his waist.
Is this his bodyguard?
"Don't worry, I've already cursed that guy."
"He's in Mercury retrograde today, so he's in the water. I'm confident I can get you away from here."
The shadowy creature that Xia'er had been kneading spoke with absolute certainty.
"I thought you ran away."
Klein was somewhat moved. Although being tethered and dragged around didn't feel good, the fact that this bodyguard hadn't abandoned him was truly touching.
"Of course I've already run away. I still need you as bait to buy me time to escape."
"Black Snake" said without any hesitation.
Klein's relaxed expression froze.
