As Amon finished reciting the last line of the honorific name.
An indescribable sense of oppression spread through the cabin.
Lorne's heart clenched. He stared in disbelief at Amon, who had clearly been blasted to pieces yet now stood before him completely unharmed.
"Damn it!"
Gritting his teeth, he forced himself to focus, raised his gun again, and pulled the trigger at Amon.
Bang!
A dense spray of lead shot burst out amid a flash of fire, fanning toward Amon.
However...
Not a hit! Not a single pellet!
Every pellet skimmed past Amon's body at a bizarre angle, striking the wall and floorboards behind him and sending wood splinters flying. Yet, by sheer coincidence, not one struck him!
"Luck. This is the power of the 'Monster' pathway..." Lorne's expression darkened.
Although Amon had just confidently claimed that the High Sequences of the "Marauder" pathway also possessed some authority over "fate," Lorne was a demigod of the "Fate" pathway. He knew this power all too well!
These were two entirely different pathways, fundamentally distinct. Though it felt tainted with impurities, this coincidence undoubtedly came from "Fate."
Moreover, no matter how he looked at it, the honorific name Amon had just recited belonged to some High Sequence existence of the "Fate" pathway.
Damn it, that bastard lied to me again!
He clearly knew what that honorific name meant, but deliberately used information about the "Trojan Horse of Destiny" to fool me and distract me!
No, this wasn't deception. It was more like he was simply muddling my thoughts. The information about the "Trojan Horse of Destiny" should be accurate. Combined with the fact that these waters really are full of High Sequence "Marauder" powers and traps, it led me astray for a moment...
*So is there also a "Fate" pathway angel in
