Looking at the gradually collapsing warehouse floor, Tomaz adjusted his slightly crooked thick-rimmed glasses and sneered.
Guessing that the underground space had been filled with gravel, he did not waste the precious Spirituality and returned directly through "Flaming Jump". Moreover, there was no flame underground to use as a landing point.
He walked underground through a secret passage. This secret passage was told to him by the mysterious "Mr. C". He did not expect that it would be used tonight, at the moment when "Mr. C" died.
This son of a bitch "Aurora Order" Oracle finally died in the hands of the official Beyonder!
Tomaz thought through gritted teeth as he went down the stairs step by step and came to the entrance of the cellar.
The door was open as before, and the interior was dark. A few rays of crimson moonlight entered from the high windows of the warehouse, bringing a ray of light to the skylighted cellar.
But it's okay, I can see...
Tomaz's right hand holding the gun pressed the thick-framed glasses and poured a little Spirituality into them. The lenses gave off a weak light that only he could see, and the dim cellar became brighter in his sight.
As members of "Machinery Hivemind", they will never lack such practical props.
Except, of course, Potion.
Looking through the glasses, a large ceiling and rugged gravel can be vaguely seen in the dark cellar. The wooden altar has completely collapsed, the cross fixed to the wall is slightly skewed, and the naked giant hanging upside down is in a funny pose.
That statue...
Just by glancing at them, Tomaz felt a pain in the corners of his eyes. He quickly looked away and looked for Mr. C and the official Beyonder on the ground.
The black flesh and blood formed by Mr. C has been mostly covered by fallen gravel, with only a small part exposed. These weird Flesh Chunk no longer burn and squirm, like balls of flour covered with dust.
Even if the Creator he believes in comes, I'm afraid it won't be able to resurrect this flesh and blood.
Tomaz thought maliciously.
Although Mr. C provided him with the Potion formula, making him the coveted Beyonder, he also took advantage of him and forced him to do many wrong things.
Hum, it's not necessarily wrong.
The left hand inserted into Clothing Pocket held his "Lucky Pocket Watch" tightly, and Tomaz's restless heart calmed down a little.
If he hadn't been ordered by Mr. C to steal the Beyonder Characteristic of "Magician", how would he have had the chance to obtain this Mystical Item?
Finger caressing the pocket watch in his pocket, he slowly bypassed the black flesh and came to the other side of the hill of gravel.
The smell of blood passed into Tomaz's nostrils, making him couldn't help but sneeze.
Even if all three of them, together with the official Beyonder lying beside the door, were crushed into a pulp, there wouldn't be such a strong smell of blood, right?
He frowned and carefully searched for the source of the aura in the ruins.
If something goes wrong, use "Flaming Jump" immediately to return to the ground and leave here... If that doesn't work, there are "Paper Figurine Substitute" and "Damage Transfer".
However, the validity time of "Lucky Pocket Watch" is coming soon. Give yourself three more minutes and leave immediately if you can't find the Sealed Artifact.
Tomaz made up his mind, held up the revolver to clear the way, and came to the door on the other side of the cellar.
Luck, he soon found a man lying face down by the door, wearing a windbreaker. The man stretched his left hand forward and his sleeve was roughly torn open. He seemed to be in a coma and remained motionless.
A pitch-black large-caliber revolver was thrown next to the man, and the nauseating bloody smell came from here.
"Is it Sealed Artifact who is out of control..."
Tomaz has seen the power of this weapon. The skin on his neck is still aching, and Mr. C, who was burned to pieces, died under its muzzle.
As a Sequence 8 from Savant Pathway, he knows very well that the more powerful a Mystical Item is, the more severe the negative effects will be.
The owner of this weapon would rather throw it on the ground than continue to fight with it, because it must be because he can no longer bear its negative effects.
He was not going to pick up the revolver foolishly.
But why is there only one person on the ground? What about the other two, or the other two bodies?
Are they all crushed under the rubble?
Tomaz looked around, but other than the stones on the ground and the bloodstains caused by Mr. C's sacrifice, no one else was found.
"..."
A slight whisper came from behind him, which made Tomaz, who was nervous, feel cold and was about to activate the "Flame Teleportation" to leave this place.
"... BANNED Teleportation!"
"Bang——"
Orange flames flashed, and Tomaz's figure was still in place, not moving at all. His neck, which had become stiff due to surprise, had just turned a small angle behind him.
A cold female voice, accompanied by a sharp blade cutting through the air, approached him at great speed.
As expected by Angel, the cautious Tomaz was ready to use Teleportation's ability to escape the scene as soon as he noticed something was wrong.
In order to seize this only opportunity, she had to use "2-031" Hand of Declaration to publish Prohibition and set "No Teleportation" restrictions on the underground space. At the same time, she took out a dagger, jumped out of the shadows, and stabbed the opponent's unprepared back with a knife.
This was the first time she used her "Assassin" ability to hide in the shadows, and it was really effective in the dark underground.
The dagger penetrated Tomaz's windbreaker without any hindrance, but the feeling made Angel frown. It seemed that there was only a ball of air left behind the windbreaker instead of thick human tissue.
The windbreaker quickly became thinner and smaller, and finally shrank to the size of a palm. The beautifully made Paper Figurine was hung on the tip of the dagger.
Paper Figurine Substitute!
"Hand of Declaration" can only post one Prohibition at the same time. After she banned Teleportation, which is the most threatening and difficult to deal with, Paper Figurine Substitute became the troublesome Beyonder Ability.
The attack was fruitless, but it didn't exceed Angel's expectations. She didn't even use Mighty Blow.
This powerful ability definitely cannot be used multiple times in a row, either because it is limited by Spirituality consumption, or it requires expensive materials.
Shaking off Paper Figurine's dagger, Angel continued to rush forward. Not far from Paper Figurine, there stood Tomaz who had turned around and raised his pistol.
After banning Teleportation, not even Paper Figurine Substitute can keep him out of danger!
"Bang——"
Tomaz hurriedly aimed a shot at Angel's head, but she dodged it by tilting her head based on the opponent's fingertips pulling the trigger in advance. She strode forward, closing the distance between the two in the blink of an eye, and swung out a knife with her left hand.
Without Teleportation's ability, Tomaz was now like a rookie in combat. After being dodged by a hasty counterattack, he staggered back and blocked the fatal knife with his pistol in a thrilling way. He stepped on the rocks in a panic and almost tripped. Even his revolver was knocked away by the dagger.
"Tsk——"
Due to the injury to his right hand, Angel could only attack with the dagger in his left hand. His non-dominant hand was always half a beat slower, allowing the opponent to avoid the blow.
She was not discouraged, but kept closing the distance. After Tomaz lost the pistol, he could not pose a threat to her at all.
Angel stabbed out several times in succession, stabbing the opponent into Paper Figurine again.
I see you still have a few Paper Figurine...
Her eyes quickly caught the figure of Tomaz who appeared not far away. She kicked off her feet, changed her sprinting angle, and rushed in a new direction without losing any speed.
"Wait... I... Flash!"
Tomaz barely moved a few meters away through Paper Figurine Substitute. This ability that did not belong to "Teleportation" was not restricted by Prohibition. He just opened his mouth to try to negotiate, but found that the other party ignored him at all. He could only grit his teeth and take out a Charm. He recited the opening spell before he could throw it away.
A ball of light that was brighter than Sun burst out from his hand, illuminating the entire cellar like daylight.
Angel only felt a stinging pain in her eyes. The vision strengthened by assassin Potion now had a negative effect. The explosion of Charm blinded her like a flash bomb, leaving only a residual colorful spot in her eyes.
Gritting her teeth, she advanced instead of retreating. She threw herself into Tomaz's arms and stabbed with all her strength with the dagger she held in her left hand.
This time it was no longer the feeling of disappointment that pierced Paper Figurine.
