The moment he saw the "Black Knight" wearing black full-body armor and holding Straight Sword, Angel recognized the other party's identity.
He was the Aurora Order "Saint Tenebrous" who had blocked Angel when he was hunting "Mr. X" Louis Wien, and finally escaped before the official Beyonder arrived.
It seems that Leonard led the team to crack down on other Aurora Order strongholds during operations "Hermit" and "Justice", but instead attracted another Aurora Order who was in Backlund Saint's revenge... According to their previous conservative style, they should abandon the discovered stronghold and shrink the scope of operations to avoid being followed by the official Beyonder to find other clues. How could they brazenly attack the "Red Gloves" team this time?
Could it be that Aurora Order plans to give up Backlund temporarily and prepare to "do something big" before leaving?
Looking at the "Red Gloves" who were lying beside the street in the picture from the prayer light spot, still breathing but suffering varying degrees of injuries, Angel frowned, and followed Shermane's call for help to activate Mirror Tunnel, sending a ray of power into it, aiming directly at Magic Mirror, who had a close connection with her.
Boom——
The violent wind that was suddenly compressed and released exploded in the night streets. Leonard, who was holding a dark black cane inlaid with silver-white metal, was blown up by the force. His windbreaker was torn, and his body flew backwards. He narrowly escaped the diagonal slash of "Saint Tenebrous" Kisma.
The latter was wearing heavy armor and was not affected by the strong wind at all. He stepped forward and raised Straight Sword in his hand again. A dark black shadow squirmed to cover the blade of the sword, stretching it to more than three meters in length. He once again slashed at Leonard, whose body was tilted and had not yet stood still.
On the street blown by the strong wind, only Shermane was still awake except for the two of them. She barely stood in the strong wind released by "Word of the Sea". Seeing that Leonard was about to die under the Greatsword of "Black Knight", her expression was almost stagnant. The "Flame Blade" dagger in her hand was emitting high temperature, and the dagger body was also ignited with flames. She was about to try to throw it at the enemy to attract his attention and interrupt his fatal blow.
At this moment, she suddenly sensed something. She took out a small vanity mirror from under her cloak with her other hand and threw the mirror forward, which had turned dark as if leading to an unknown world. She activated "Feather Fall" and was blown a distance away like fallen leaves in the strong wind that had not yet dissipated.
The mirror accurately landed at the feet of "Saint Tenebrous" Kisma. An invisible force surged out from inside the mirror, covering the ground near it with a layer of gray and dim color for the first time. Then it spread to all sides, causing a white flower to bloom on the night street.
Kisma, who was in the center of the flower, had not yet chopped off the sword in his hand when he felt Spirituality issuing a crazy warning. He could no longer care about chasing the embarrassment of the fleeing captain "Red Gloves". He kicked his legs in metal combat boots and jumped into the air, avoiding the inconspicuous dressing mirror.
But the power of "Petrification" still caught up with him from the bottom up, starting from the tips of his shoes, quickly climbing up Kisma's legs, then his body, his hands, and finally the helmet with two points of crimson light.
The entire pitch-black armor turned into stone in an instant, its surface gray and mottled, as if it had experienced a hundred years of wind and frost.
Bang——
He kept holding the Straight Sword and jumped up hastily, then hit it hard on the ground that also turned into gray-white stone. It was broken into several pieces of different sizes, head and foot, and there was no longer any life.
Is this... solved?
Leonard then landed on the ground and stood firmly. He held "Word of the Sea" in one hand and a Advanced Charm in the other. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked warily at the remains of the "Gray Knight" that looked like a broken statue. He couldn't believe that a Saint died under the dressing mirror thrown by Shermane.
Of course, judging from the scene, this power of "Petrification" undoubtedly comes from the hands of Shermane's real boss, Tarot Club's "Empress". The power transmitted remotely by a Angel may really be able to kill Sequence 4's "Saint Tenebrous" instantly?
But before he could think about it carefully, the voice belonging to Pallez in his head rang quickly:
"He's not dead."
This warning even preceded Leonard's Spirituality warning, causing him to take a few steps back before the shadow under his feet changed, leaving the shadow that stayed in place.
The shadow squirmed up from the ground and quickly formed a man whose height and build were similar to Leonard. He was wearing linen single clothes and looked to be in his twenties. His face was chiseled and his facial features were outstanding, just like an ordinary person who accidentally entered the battlefield.
But those eyes with deep Red Light light showed his identity.
"Saint Tenebrous" Kisma actually gave up the black full-body armor at the moment of being "Petrification", turned into a shadow and escaped from the attack range of the dressing mirror, and then directly sneaked into the shadow at the feet of Leonard. If Pallez hadn't reminded him in time, Leonard, who had relaxed his vigilance, would have died under his attack in an instant.
Kisma, who left the shadow, chased the retreating Leonard with his cold eyes. Before he could take any further action, something happened to the souls of Grazing in his body, especially "Shaman King" who had reached the Demigod level.
They struggled uneasily, seeming to get rid of the "Grazing" of Kisma and become the truly free Spirit Body!
This is the influence of that dressing mirror. It not only released the power of "Petrification", but also triggered some kind of "degeneration"... No, should it be said as "betrayal"?
Kisma's expression changed slightly, and he glanced at the mirror on the ground with some surprise, which had completely lost its luster and no longer reflected any scene.
Then, in his own shadow beside him, a swaying shadow of Distortion slowly rose. Its outline was blurred, and its eyes were illusory and emitted bright red light, just like the Crimson Moon above his head.
This is the strongest soul of Kisma Grazing, Vampire Earl from Forsaken Land of the Gods, "Moon" Pathway Sequence 4's "Shaman King", because Spirit Body possesses divinity, is very strong and can be released externally to form a new individual independent of Grazing. This is equivalent to a Demigod who can freely use his own abilities, but only those abilities obtained when being Grazing.
This makes the "Red Gloves team and Aurora Order" on the field "Saint's battle" instantly escalated into a fight against two Saint, not to mention that "Red Gloves" only had Leonard who was Sequence 5, and Shermane, who was Sequence 6 and could hardly help.
But at the moment when the body of "Shaman King" was released, Kisma's head suddenly tightened, and a blank appeared as if the thoughts in his mind had been taken away.
The next second, he discovered that his ability to "switch Grazing soul" had been stolen.
What is surprising about Luck is that the core ability "Grazing" he possesses has not been stolen. Otherwise, all the Grazing souls in the body will conflict with his own Spirit Body in an instant, causing him to immediately lose most of his combat effectiveness, and even directly lead to loss of control and death.
But the inability to switch the soul of Grazing also means that the "Shaman King" played by Kisma and other souls he owns cannot be used by him for the time being.
The newly formed outward soul next to him immediately evaporated and disappeared like water stains in the sun, leaving only Kisma, who had also lost his armor and appeared to be somewhat alone, standing there, feeling a little dazed for a moment.
It was not that he had no experience of being unable to use the soul of "Grazing", but when faced with a small Sequence 5, he was threatened by "Petrification" and had important abilities stolen, which was still beyond his imagination before the war.
Leonard, who had a completely different mentality from his, was refreshed. He could feel that he had the ability to "switch Grazing's soul" in his mind. Although this had no effect on him, it meant that Pallez had secretly made a move and disabled the "Black Knight" in front of him, and his combat effectiveness dropped by a notch.
Maybe there really is a chance, just like when he faced Ince Zangwill that day... He suddenly raised his hand holding "Word of the Sea", and another thick bolt of lightning shot out from the head of the staff, hitting Kisma who had lost the protection of his armor., Spirit Body with seals on their teeth emerged one after another, some blocked each other's sight, and some rushed forward to launch suicidal attacks, creating opportunities for Leonard's next actions.
That's right, all exaggerated attacks, including lightning, are all illusions. His real purpose is to cover up the fact that Spirituality is being poured into his other hand, and Advanced Charm is about to be activated.
That was the "Calamity" Charm that he exchanged from Angel for a "Worm of Time" that could easily kill Saint and even have a chance to injure Angel!
Just delay it for two more seconds... As soon as this thought came to his mind, he found that "Saint Tenebrous" in his sight turned into a squirming shadow again.
This shadow did not penetrate into the ground, but crossed the distance between the two people in a movement that Leonard could hardly see clearly, and appeared in front of him instantly. The distance was so close that Leonard could almost smell the faint smell of blood in the shadow.
That was the smell of Kisma's long sword made of flesh and blood. The sword stretched out from the shadows and almost touched Leonard's chest.
"Alas..."
Leonard heard Pallez's regretful sigh. He couldn't care less about hiding his own existence, so he wanted to show the true power of "Marauder" Angel.
At this moment, out of the corner of Leonard's eye, a slender figure rushed diagonally at a speed no less rapid than that of "Saint Tenebrous". The "Flame Blade" in her hand glowed brightly, and stood between the two with the determination of "Mighty Blow".
wait...
Leonard's mind went blank. Straight Sword, who was looking at Kisma, was led a little sideways by "Flame Blade", and then stabbed Shermane with his backhand. He looked at Shermane's body turned into mirror fragments stained with dark mist and scattered on the ground. He looked at Demoness, whose figure was re-outlined not far away, with a huge wound on his chest that could see his internal organs. He looked at Kisma, who had a handsome appearance and a ferocious expression, and raised the sword again, aiming it at himself.
"Calamity!"
The mantra to activate Charm spurted out from Leonard's mouth, pressing the purple crystal-like Charm on Kisma's face with endless anger.
The power of destruction instantly enveloped the entire street.
