The Fool's ambush
In front of a house on Iris Street in the Cherwood Borough, featuring a vast lawn, expansive Garden, a small fountain plaza, and marble statues.
It's dinner time now.
Lorry sat on a bench opposite the Villa, holding a large glass of Sweet Iced Tea.
The street was bustling with people, but it seemed no one could see him. Even a gentleman who had intended to sit down and rest hesitated before deciding to continue his journey to see his family as soon as possible.
At that moment, a figure wearing a jet-black crown and covered in solid armor appeared.
He paused for a few seconds, then stepped inside.
"Gurgle!"
Lorry took a deep drag and put the empty paper cup beside him.
With his "Spirit Vision" activated, he saw the figure silently pass through the Villa gate, a slight smile appearing on his lips and a hint of amusement in his eyes.
This is Klein summoning his own Spirit Body using the Card of Blasphemy!
"The protagonist is the protagonist. The last time I met this guy, he was Sequence 8 like me, but now he's the one who took the first step."
"Digesting the Potion isn't a big problem, but the ' Lion-Man Brain ' and the ' Bewitching Insect Swarm Adult Insect ' are indeed very hard to find; even MI9's treasure vault doesn't have them."
"I hope 'Little Sun ' Tarot Club," Lorry sighed silently, glancing at the time on his Gold-Cased Pocket Watch.
He then tapped the armrest lightly, lost in a listless wait.
Boom!
The windows were shattered, and countless shards of debris and flames erupted from the air.
The guards who happened to be patrolling near the Restaurant were blown away by the blast wave and lay sprawled out, their Affliction groans echoing through the night.
Before long, a figure engulfed in Flames Burning out.
Lorry, who was across the street, immediately stood up, took out the "Sure-Hit Revolver" from his pocket, and walked towards the other person with quick and steady steps.
This is Harras!
--The strongest Beyonder in the Capim Villa.
He survived the Gas Explosion through his own abilities and did not hesitate to abandon his remaining companions, preparing to escape alone.
Of course, normally speaking, his choice cannot be considered wrong.
but...
"Bang!"
Suddenly, flames erupted from the darkness.
A bullet with added "Explosion" and "Flames" effects was fired from the muzzle of the "Sure-Hit Revolver" and shot towards the fleeing Harras.
Oh no! That ghost has companions guarding outside!
The moment he heard the gunshot, Harras's heart trembled violently. A shadow of gloom crossed his mind, and without hesitation, he lunged to the side.
However, at that moment, he heard a second gunshot.
"Bang!"
As flames erupted, Lorry quickly stroked the White Bone Ring.
"Enlarge"!
He had anticipated this situation.
The probability of a powerful Beyonder, possibly even Sequence 6 or Sequence 5, being taken down by a sniper shot is extremely low, almost negligible.
Therefore, the first shot was just a feint, designed to trick the enemy into making a dodge maneuver.
The second shot is the real killing blow!
"Damn it!"
An expression of anger flashed across Harras's usually indifferent face.
He realized the ambush was a trap, but he was currently airborne and unable to exert any force, making it difficult to evade effectively. He could only try to minimize the damage.
Tilting your head and twisting your body!
With his powerful physique, Harras successfully completed his plan.
The Burning Flames grazed his right arm and struck the wall behind him. He landed, rolled, and immediately began to move quickly.
Harras took a deep breath and, with an icy expression, quickly recited:
"Illegally harming others is a crime!"
"Those who are guilty shall..."
Before he could finish speaking, a violent Explosion suddenly occurred behind him, the surging blast knocking him off balance and interrupting his Ancient Hermes.
Harras turned around in horror, only to find that the place behind him, which should have been his Study, had collapsed into complete ruins.
What immense power!
If I hadn't dodged in time, it would have hit me... He couldn't help but feel a lingering fear, forcibly suppressing the emotion:
"The guilty shall be restrained!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lorry felt as if invisible shackles had appeared on his body, making his movements less agile and giving him an indescribable sense of sluggishness.
He couldn't help but sigh:
The Beyonder in the Mid-Sequence are indeed difficult to kill.
Moreover, its abilities are relatively comprehensive, especially when combined with Sealed Artifact.
Thinking this, he deliberately feigned a slight panic, but quickly put them away and raised the "Sure-Hit Revolver" to aim at Harras.
Harras smiled dismissively and pushed his palms forward:
"The use of firearms is prohibited here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lorry found that his index finger seemed to be stopped by an invisible force, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not pull the trigger.
He could only put away the "Sure-Hit Revolver" and take out Serrated Dagger.
"Hoo! Cough cough!"
Unable to bear the effects of the Poison, Harras coughed violently several times.
However, he had already realized that the ambush attackers were not particularly strong, and when he turned around and saw that the ghost in the Villa had not given chase, he immediately gave up the idea of escaping.
He wanted to capture the ambushers alive and take them back to interrogate them about their origins!
"Imprisonment!"
"Target of Punishment: Those who have illegally harmed others!"
Harras's deep voice rang out one after another.
Seeing that the ambushers, still unwilling to give up and charging at him with their daggers reversed, were trapped within an invisible wall, he smiled sinisterly and suddenly swung his right hand.
"Spirit Piercing!"
"Smack!"
He saw the ambushing man bleeding from all seven orifices, then collapse limply to the ground.
"The Spirit Body is so weak, it seems to be only a Sequence 8, or at most Sequence 7."
"Fortunately, I wasn't in good condition either, otherwise, with the blessing of ' Punishment,' a single ' Spirit Piercing ' might have completely destroyed his Spirit Body."
"At that point, there won't even be a chance to interrogate them, let alone communicate with Spirit Channeling... cough cough!"
Harras couldn't help but cough twice more.
He felt the effects of the Poison in his body becoming increasingly difficult to suppress, and the ghosts in the Villa could chase after him at any moment, so he dared not waste any more time.
So Harras took a deep breath and strode toward the ambushers.
"Release!"
The invisible cage has vanished.
"With such weak strength, you dare to come and die?" He sneered and kicked the ambushing man, causing him to roll over and end up face up.
"If you didn't still have some value and might know the origin of the ghost inside, I would make you die a Affliction death right now, hmph!"
A cruel glint appeared on Harras's indifferent face.
He muttered coldly as he bent down, preparing to pick up the ambusher and leave.
However, at this moment, Harras was horrified to find that the blood flowing on the ambusher's face had disappeared, and the man's eyelids suddenly opened, revealing deep black eyes.
He sensed something was wrong and was about to back away when he suddenly froze in place.
He felt an indescribable aura, as if he were facing a mythical dragon, and couldn't help but want to prostrate himself and Trembling.
That was a hallucination.
Now it's the "Psychologist" who are "Fear" us!
