"Black Emperor" Pathway Sequence 5, "Mentor of Disorder", the ability to fight alone is undoubtedly very strong. William can be compared with "Primordial Demoness" Divine Descent Vessel is almost the same as Blessed's Trissy. It can be seen from the repeated fights. If this Demoness were not full of revengeful anger and willing to exchange injuries for injuries, I am afraid that he would not be able to defeat him easily.
Moreover, when William's shoulders were nailed to the ground, Angel could feel that he still had the strength to fight. He showed up directly to make him give up his final struggle and cooperate with the inquiries in order to survive.
Of course, now that he was resting peacefully in the necklace, there was no need or chance to regret his choice.
And Angel now has no time to check the specific abilities of Grazing in "Rose Necklace". From the moment she finished Grazing, she could feel that the close-fitting Magic Mirror was gradually emitting an indescribable warning, which seemed to be there but not at all, but was obviously gradually increasing.
"There are probably other Beyonder coming. It seems that William Sykes has indeed been under surveillance. I don't know if it was death or 'Spirit Channeling' that triggered this warning. Hehe, he probably doesn't even know that he is just a bait."
She put the necklace back on her neck and whispered Trissy.
The wound on the latter's shoulder had not yet recovered, and her face looked pale and weak due to the battle and blood loss. She looked around and found that her blood was scattered everywhere. The traces caused by Frost and Black Flame were extremely dazzling. She had briefly cleaned it with Black Flame before, but it was only a drop in the bucket, so she smiled bitterly and said:
"There's no chance to clean up. Let's leave quickly. You didn't show up with your true face, so you shouldn't be traced. As for me..."
"You leave invisible first, I will handle it, and then leave through the mirror. My Anti-Divination is confident that they will get nothing."
Trissy's words were interrupted by Angel. She looked at the latter with curiosity and surprise. After a moment, she pursed her lips and nodded:
"Okay, I won't go back to my original residence to avoid being searched... I'll contact you again."
She held her shoulder with one hand and waved lightly with the other, and her figure quickly faded and disappeared.
Angel ignited majestic Black Flame all over her body, and then spread from her feet, quietly covering the carpet, walls, ceiling, and the double bed in the center of the bedroom. It burned silently, burning away all traces of the battle such as the broken wand and the spilled blood, without causing any additional flames.
After a while, the bedroom was as clean as new except for a few dents on the wall and door. The Ice Spike on the shoulders of William's body on the ground also melted and evaporated, leaving only two holes where blood slowly seeped out.
Angel had no intention of taking away William's body, because without Spirit Body he couldn't Spirit Channeling. Leaving this body would also give the other party the trouble of destroying the body and making it suspicious, and taking him away would give the other party a chance to track him.
She just took away the pocket watch in William's pocket that could attract Fire of Light and obviously belonged to "Solar High Priest". Then she walked towards the only half-length mirror in the room, stretched out her hand and spread Spirituality, directly entering "Mirror World".
In a space similar to Spirit World, Angel's divination ability has also been improved accordingly. The sense of danger that was not obvious before suddenly became stronger. She could sense a chaotic and evil force approaching quickly not far away. It only took 20 seconds at most to enter the hotel and arrive at William's room.
Unfortunately, I was still a step too late... She chuckled lightly and left West Borough along the spider web-like passage.
Bang——
The door opened on its own, and a tall man wearing a hooded cloak and an exaggerated golden mask stepped into the bedroom. In front of him, William Sykes's eyes were wide open, his mouth was open, and he was lying on his back, no longer breathing.
The man was not surprised. When the Prohibition on William was triggered, he knew that this person was definitely hopeless. The only question was, who did it?
He first came to the corpse, squatted down, stretched out his arms much longer than ordinary people, and quickly confirmed that the cause of William's death was a heart disease caused by a combination of severe disease and blood loss.
The Beyonder Characteristic he owned has disappeared without a trace, and the Spirit Body is not nearby either. He cannot Spirit Channeling or divination. The only Mystical Item was taken away, leaving only a handful of coins in his pocket.
There are some traces of fighting on the walls and carpet, and the two penetrations on the carpet correspond to William's wounds, but other clues have obviously been cleaned up, and it is difficult to determine which Pathway and Beyonder caused it in a short period of time.
"Wraith is possessed to accelerate the precipitation of characteristics. Spirit Body is swallowed by some Sealed Artifact, or...Shepherd?"
Based on the existing clues, the man analyzed to himself that the voice came from behind the mask, weak and distorted.
He is not proficient in divination, and knows that it is better to confirm it through occult methods than to make a blind guess, but if the other party can clean up the traces, he must have done the corresponding Anti-Divination. Unless the hotel is sealed off and his own people come here to divine the course of the battle before the police arrive, otherwise, when the official Beyonder intervenes, his identity will be easily exposed.
"Is this why he left the body behind on purpose?"
With a slight snort, the man quickly searched William's body. After finding that there was no other evidence against him, he went directly to the window, jumped from the window to the third floor, and left from the alley below. The window closes by itself, like the door that also closes, turning William's bedroom into an original scene.
That night, Angel returned home from a literary salon, washed up under the service of the maid, and entered the bedroom. Only then did she have time to take out "Rose Necklace" and check the abilities of Grazing's soul inside.
Her actions during the day were all carried out under the disguise of the "hypocritical" ring, and she was not worried about the so-called "alibi". However, since she had already made an appointment with someone else and returned early because the operation went smoothly, she was naturally unwilling to break the appointment.
Originally, this literary salon was just a small gathering of young aristocrats and young people eager to establish relationships with aristocrats. Everyone talked about recently released novels and chased fashion hot spots, but Angel discovered that Backlund had recently popularized a set of adventure novels with the theme of sea adventures, and one of them was actually based on her!
To be precise, it is based on "Angelica Zaki", and the title of the book is "The Great Pirate Angelica series: Fountain of Youth".
Fountain of Youth is undoubtedly one of the "Six Legends at sea", but Angelica... Angel Thinking of the young and beautiful female pirate in the whispers of the young women in the salon, who was entangled with Pirate Admiral, she felt that everyone was discussing herself.
"When I have some time, I must use divination to find out whose work this is, crawl over the mirror, and let him seal the pen from now on..."
Angel thought bitterly, locked the bedroom door, sat on the bedside, took out "Rose Necklace", spread Spirituality inside, sensing the Spirit Body and ability of today's Grazing's William.
The moment Spirit Body entered the necklace, she could know the other person's Potion Sequence, so she confirmed that it was Sequence 5's "Mentor of Disorder", but until now, she didn't know what abilities she had "extracted".
Unlike "Creeping Hunger", which has as many as five souls as Grazing but has a random number of abilities, "Rose Necklace" will have three fixed abilities and cannot choose by itself. However, Angel's luck has always been good, especially after "Good Luck" revolves around Beyonder Characteristic.
The most important of the three abilities is "chaos", which is likely to come from Sequence 5. It can cause irresistible chaos in the target or the surrounding area, making it difficult for attacks to fall on you, and making it easier for the enemy to make Error choices.
Secondly, there is the "Bribe" ability, but it does not weaken the enemy, but "associates". It also needs to hand over money and objects to the target in advance as a "bribery". After it takes effect, the user and the target's bodies will be associated together, and the attack or Beyonder Ability effect will take effect on both people at the same time, like today's William and Trissy.
Finally, there was a new ability she had never seen before, "Corruption." This ability can make the minds of people within ten meters darken little by little, making it easier for them to make greedy and irrational choices.
"I don't know if William used this ability during the daytime battle... The range can definitely cover the entire bedroom, but maybe he was solved by Trissy before the effect could be reflected. It seems that this ability is not suitable for use in combat, but the effect may be more obvious when 'socializing' or 'negotiating', especially when combined with my 'Instigation'..."
Angel classified this last ability into the non-combat category, ending the investigation of "Rose Necklace".
Overall, she is quite satisfied with the three abilities she obtained this time. "Chaos" can completely replace most of the limitations of "Judge", making it difficult for enemy attacks to take effect, especially in multi-person combat; "Bribe" is a good way to exchange injuries for her who has Rose Necklace to recover from injuries, while "corrosion" needs to be evaluated.
After releasing the soul of "Judge" Harras, Angel also obtained his Beyonder Characteristic. If a buyer can be found, it means that 3,000 pounds will be entered into the account, which is also a big gain.
Including the Mystical Item pocket watch, the money earned in one day is enough to cover the expenses of Backlund for two years... She thought happily.
The most important thing is that today I got a key name from William: Viscount Stratford. He is Palace Guard Captain, which is a palace title that can be hereditary, but does not have a fief. However, this does not mean that he does not have wealth and power. Judging from owning his own manor in the suburbs, Stratford obviously has other channels for making money.
"Could it be the profit from human trafficking... Moreover, if he dares to deal with a Prince, there must be an equal force behind him. Is it another Prince, or another member of the royal family?
"This also explains to a certain extent why the military is involved in this matter. After all, they take orders from the royal family, even if this can be called a civil war between members of the royal family..."
Thinking of this, Angel has a headache. She is not good at detailed analysis, and the current information is too little, and she cannot draw useful conclusions even after thinking about it. Rushing to inquire about the other party's identity would easily arouse suspicion, especially during the period when the butler of his manor died tragically in the hotel.
Let's wait for Trissy to look for clues. Anyway, she is very motivated and can't wait to find the real culprit who killed Prince Edessak within a day... Angel stood up from the bed and walked to the balcony. The moonlight outside the window was dim, and the Burningham Road building was shrouded in the deep night.
"Trissy's injuries probably won't recover overnight. I forgot to ask her if there were any other safe houses... Seeing as she didn't even want the trophies, a Demoness wouldn't even have money to rent a house..."
Subconsciously, she worried about her temporary partner.
As if in response to Angel's concerns, the Magic Mirror on her chest had some reaction.
Taking out the compact dressing mirror, the black Communication Potion painted on it was activated just like yesterday, but there was no figure of Trissy on the opposite side, only hazy black and intermittent words that were difficult to hear clearly.
Suddenly, the voice coming from it became clear, and Angel immediately heard a short sentence followed by other voices:
"... save me..."
