This voice comes from Mr. "Fool", which also means that tonight's action will be watched by this God, who will provide the necessary protection.

After all, the enemy the hunting team faces also believes in "True Creator". Although he is evil and crazy, he is really True God.

According to the plan, Ms. "Hermit" who has arrived at Backlund and stayed at Hillston Borough will attack "Magician" Fors who is the bait. uses "Eyes of Mystery Prying" to monitor any movement around her. Once anything unusual happens to her, it means that "Mystic Saint" Butis is attacking her.

As one of the main players in this hunting operation, Audrey will immediately receive the signal and rush to the location of the attack.

Sure enough, as the words of "Fool" fell, a somewhat blurry but identifiable picture of Backlund Bridge immediately appeared in Audrey's mind, allowing her to confirm that the current location of Fors was exactly where Underground Gathering was where she planned to go tonight.

"Praise Mr. Fool..."

Silently sighing in his heart, Audrey stood up from the sofa by the window where he could see the beautiful fireworks outside the Royal Palace, and said to Susie at his feet:

"Pretend to be me, rest in this room, and decline anyone who invites you to dance."

Susie, who had experienced "becoming Audrey" many times, nodded heavily and crawled onto the sofa where Audrey was sitting just now. He put his two front legs together, got into a comfortable position, and looked towards the door of the lounge.

Recently promoted to "Hypnotist", it can Hypnosis everyone who enters the room, making them think that the person sitting on the sofa is not Golden Retriever, but the blond Audrey.

At least there was no problem dealing with the ball guests in a short period of time.

Patting Susie's head, Audrey did not delay further, but immediately activated the ability of "Dreamland Shuttle" to jump into the nearest dream, using it as a springboard to quickly move towards Backlund Bridge's position.

It was already night at this time, and it was not difficult to find a dreamland that was enough for her in the city. The problem was that Sodela Palace was located in the far west of West Borough, almost in the suburbs, and there were no residential buildings around. It was possible that Audrey would not be able to "jump" this distance because no one was asleep.

Fortunately, she was prepared and Hypnosis summoned a carriage driver and asked him to take a nap as he wished after finishing what he was doing. At this time, Audrey quickly found the dreamland of him holding her hand and dancing in the imaginary Royal Palace ballroom, and used it as a springboard to successfully enter the city.

Hurry up, otherwise Fors may be in danger... She passed through one beautiful dream after another, and came to the edge of East Borough in the blink of an eye.

In the basement of a building at the junction of North Borough and East Borough, Shermane, who did not wear "Madness Ring" due to recent health reasons, but put on a mask and hood, absently looked at the transaction information on the blackboard in the center of the room, looking away from time to time to secretly observe other members attending the party.

Suddenly, she noticed that the eyes of several partygoers in the corner slowly closed under their hoods, and their bodies also entered a state of relaxation. They either leaned on their chairs or lowered their heads, falling into a sudden sleep.

They took action...Shermane knew it well, and kept nodding like a pigeon pecking at rice, but soon he was really affected by this power and closed his eyes.

It was only when more than three-quarters of the party members in the basement were in a similar situation that the party organizer, Aurora Order, "Rose Bishop", who was wearing a hooded robe and waiting for others to initiate a transaction, realized something was wrong. He suddenly jumped up from the sofa, and his body turned into a dark shadow, floating toward the ceiling as if it had no weight.

But before he touched the ceiling, melted into the shadows and left here, his body returned to human form again, fell heavily to the ground, closed his eyes tightly, and fell into a high-quality sleep with the remaining quarter of the party members.

The next second, the door from the basement to the top was kicked open from the outside. Several figures wearing black windbreakers and bright red gloves filed in. They pounced on the hooded man who had transformed from a black shadow into a human form with a clear target. He added two bullets, filling the basement with a dizzying sound. The drowsy power "Slumber Charm" Charm, and then skillfully removed the Charm and Mystical Item from his body and carried him out of the basement.

Originally, dealing with the wild Beyonder in Backlund was not the task of Church of Evernight's "Red Gloves", but as the war progresses, Backlund Diocese's big Some Beyonder were transferred back to Serenity Church who was far away from Winter County to resist God of War Church who cooperated with Feysac to attack Loen Beyonder, there are only two "Red Gloves" teams left in the city of five million people, so this kind of thing naturally falls on them.

The captain of this team, Leonard, who was also wearing a windbreaker, revealing his shirt and waistcoat, finally walked into the basement. He rubbed his temples and frowned slightly. It took him a lot of effort to force the vigilant "Rose Bishop" into the dream at the last moment.

Seeing him come in, "Soul Assurer" in the team, Cindy with long burgundy hair came up and asked in a low voice:

"Captain, what should we do with the Spiritual Materials that other people traded with them?"

Leonard glanced at the party members who staggered into a deep dream, unaware of their surroundings. He paused for a moment on a woman wearing a hood and an iron mask on her face, but the figure under the cloak was very familiar to him, and replied:

"Check them one by one to see if there are any on the wanted list. If not, leave them alone."

Cindy nodded, and led the other two team members to look at the sleeping party members, took off their masks, pulled off their hoods, and compared it with the portrait of the wanted Beyonder in their memory. "This is not" and "this is not also" came out.

Sure enough, it is unlikely that such low-level gatherings will have wanted criminals. Unlike Tarot Club, nearly half of the people have attended or are still on the wanted list... Leonard couldn't help but compare the scale and level of the two parties in his mind, and was pleased to find that even the "fate Hermit Society" party he had just attended was not as high-level as Tarot Club.

At this moment, he heard another member of the team, "Nightmare" Bob of Sequence 7, exclaimed, "There is a wanted person here... the Witch who committed the serial murder in East Borough!"

In an instant, all the "Red Gloves" eyes in the basement looked at him, and then moved to the face with a round chin and amazing charm next to him.

"Hasn't the wanted order against her been cancelled? It is said that the real murderer has been caught and she is not a suspect."

Cindy memory is obviously better than Bob, he quickly explained.

But having a good memory is not a good thing. I originally wanted to seize the opportunity to arrest Shermane, so that she can get rid of the suspicion of being an "internal agent"... Leonard frowned slightly and waved:

"Take them away first, and then screen them carefully when you go back."

It wasn't until he boarded the four-wheeled carriage with the police logo that Leonard manipulated the power of dreams to make Shermane wake up.

The latter immediately jumped up from the car seat, causing chaos among the "Red Gloves" people in the car.

"Quiet, don't get excited," Leonard pretended to be calm, pressing his hands down with a calm tone, "This is Shermane Miss, my informant, and the biggest contributor to our smooth operation during this period."

At this time, Shermane also understood the current situation under the explanation of Leonard and the gaze of other "Red Gloves", and sat back on the seat, lowering his head and looking down, looking very shy.

This non-threatening appearance, combined with her caring temperament, quickly eliminated the hostility of other members of the team. The red-haired Cindy winked at her captain and teased:

"No wonder the captain gets off work on time recently and rarely works overtime. It turns out there is... an informant outside."

"In any case, he is much better than Captain Soest. Almost everyone knows that he pursued Ms. Daly. He worked hard for more than half a year, but was picked off by the senior deacon Your Excellency who came out halfway..."

Bob also joined in the ridicule of Leonard. They were all members of the Soest team until Leonard was promoted to Sequence 5 and led the team independently. After being transferred, it was natural that "Spirit Warlock" had a good impression of Daly Simone. Unfortunately, in the end, the other party got engaged to a certain senior deacon from Holy Cathedral to Backlund at the speed of light, which made people stunned.

What does it mean to escape halfway, the captain is the first to come...Leonard curled his lips and was about to defend his pure relationship with Shermane. Suddenly, Spirituality in his body frantically warned of danger, and Pallez's anxious voice came from his mind:

"Be careful!"

Without hesitation, Leonard tapped his upper and lower teeth, and a line of Spirit Body on the white tooth enamel suddenly disappeared. When it reappeared, it had formed a translucent light, wrapping everyone in the carriage, allowing them to "fall" out of the moving carriage without any hindrance and fall to the ground.

Boom——

Behind them, the entire black carriage and the horses pulling it were torn apart in the impact of a dark black shadow, making a violent explosion.

At the explosion point, the black figure Distortion stood up staggeringly. It was wearing a full-body black armor and was more than two meters tall. It was holding a huge Straight Sword, and there was a deep red light flashing in the eye socket of the helmet.

The moment he saw this armor, Leonard, who had researched the members of "Aurora Order" in advance, had an identity in his mind:

"Saint Tenebrous" Kisma, Sequence 4 of Secrets Suppliant Pathway "Black Knight"!

Leonard was originally very prepared for the fact that the members of "Aurora Order" would come to stop their actions, or even directly attack the team, so the entire Red Gloves Team came out in full force, and with Sealed Artifact in this way, even if those Sequence 5's "Shepherd" Oracle appeared, they could easily solve it.

But what came was actually a Saint...Leonard's mind quickly flashed the pitiful information about this Sequence, most of which came from "Empress" Angel who had fought head-on with a "Black Knight".

There is no Demigod among us, and there is a huge difference between Sequence 5 and Sequence 4... He did not care that his secret might be exposed, and shouted in a suppressed voice:

"Old Man, think of a way."

While he was controlling Spirit Body, which was wrapping other team members and Shermane, trying to send a few people further away, he took out the "Word of the Sea" scepter from under his windbreaker, and threw a bolt of lightning at "Saint Tenebrous" with a flick of his hand.

But the white color and the astonishingly powerful electric light fell on Kisma's armor made of flesh and blood, and disappeared with a snap, leaving only a shallow mark on the surface of the armor.

Aurora Order's Saint sneered from inside the armor. The dull laughter came from under his fully covered face armor, followed by changes in the shadows of all Red Gloves members and Shermane present.

They came to life one after another, grabbing their masters who were floating away with the translucent Spirit Body, and flooded like black filthy water, trying to entangle them.

This is "Dominion of Shadows" from Black Knight!

The betrayal of the shadow caused everyone to break away from Spirit Body released by Leonard, falling on the cold street, entangled in black shadows, and unable to move for a while.

"Black Knight" Kisma took a step forward, causing heavy armor boots to collide with the ground. Leonard, Shermane and others trembled in their hearts. Spirituality felt surging and dizzy.

Then, the black full-body armor raised the Straight Sword in its hand and struck directly at the nearest Leonard.

Inside Mirror World, Angel is observing the outside world through the "mirror" formed by the puddles on the ground.

This is a forest in the southeastern suburbs of Backlund. It is not far from Saint George Borough, but it is inaccessible. It is a good place for fighting.

In her sight, the battle between "Mystic Saint" Butis and "Hermit" Cattleya, "Justice" Audrey is coming to an end. "Mind Deprivation" and "Mental Plague" suffered a mental breakdown. Spirituality lost control and had to resist all kinds of fairy tale magic that he had never heard of. His body was shining brightly, and there seemed to be many insect bodies squirming inside. There was no sense in his eyes.

In fact, this deserted forest is not the first battlefield.

After "Mystic Saint" Butis sneak attacked and sealed "Magician" at a party held in Backlund city, he was attacked by "Hermit" " and "Justice"'s first attack. During this period, Audrey secretly planted the "escape here" Psychological Suggestion for him, and then retreated pretending not to cause too much noise.

After that, Butis, who had relaxed his vigilance, wanted to use "Teleportation" to leave Backlund and slowly torture Fors who was related to the Abraham Family. However, he ended up landing here because of the hint and fell into the trap that was really prepared for him.

The two Saint who had been prepared were caught off guard, and the result was almost certain. Moreover, Angel was still exerting a certain influence on the surrounding Spirit World at Mirror World. This effect originated from the essence of "Mirror World" It is part of Spirit World and can influence each other. Although it cannot completely ban the abilities of "Teleportation" and "Spirit World Shuttle", it is enough to greatly increase the difficulty of leaving a Sequence 4's "Secrets Sorcerer".

Unless he is Sequence 3's "Wanderer", then no one can restrict him from leaving... Angel took one last look at the battlefield and found that "Mystic Saint" had been pierced through the body by a spear stained with blood, and its head was blown away by the claws of a gray-white dragon whose head still retained the human form, turning into the dazzling "Star Worm".

The "Box of the Great Old Ones" that was almost opened on the third floor fell to the ground and rolled a few times. The lid of the box opened by itself, and the toy-like "Magician" Fors could be vaguely seen inside.

It's over... Angel nodded with satisfaction and removed the blockade on Spirit World, making it easier for these Tarot Club members to quickly leave the battle site.

Next, they will sacrifice the loot to Mr. Fool, avoid subsequent divination and tracking before distributing it, and find an opportunity to release Fors in "Box of the Great Old Ones"... Well, Zarathus doesn't seem to care about this battle at all. Did they predict that Klein will not appear at all, so there is no corresponding action? And the expected Aurora Order and Angel did not appear, Butis seemed to have been given up by them...

Angel was floating in Mirror World, thinking, and there were more and more doubts in his heart.

At this moment, an urgent prayer sounded in her ears, and an illusory light point appeared in front of her eyes.

This is not a prayer formed by reciting her Honorific Name, but a "cry for help" that is quickly triggered by the Magic Mirror she made and distributed to her subordinates Minor Arcana Brand.

Based on the distance, Angel immediately determined that the call for help came from "Empress of Pentacles" Shermane.

Shouldn't she be with Leonard and ban another Underground Gathering who may be related to Aurora Order?

Angel's Spirituality wrapped the prayer light spot, and the picture transmitted by Magic Mirror immediately appeared in her eyes.

It was a messy street with Wind Blade and lightning flying everywhere, "Red Gloves" swaying here and there, "Black Knight" holding Straight Sword high...

... and Leonard and Shermane under his sword!

PS: No more tonight. I'm very busy with work recently. I'm afraid I won't be able to recover until next week...
