Lorry couldn't understand these obscure and difficult syllables.

Strangely, he could clearly understand what the other party wanted to express, and sense that the natural forces nearby were being manipulated.

Points of milky white light condensed in mid-air, instantly forming a gigantic execution sword that cleaved straight down toward Lorry's head.

Murderers should be sentenced to death!

Similar punishments exist in every country and every era.

"Call!"

Although the execution sword was enormous, it was by no means slow, cutting through the air in an instant and emitting a piercing, sharp noise.

Lorry nimbly dodged the sword, but before he could catch his breath, he heard a loud crash behind him.

Immediately following was the sound of dense cracking of the walls.

He looked back and saw a deep gap in the thick cement wall, with cracks spreading in all directions like a spider web.

"Whoosh!"

The executioner's sword swept across suddenly, a flash of white light passing by.

Before he could react, Lorry was cut in half at the waist.

"Bang!"

He made Explosion sound like a balloon bursting, then turned into countless points of light and disappeared.

at the same time.

In another Dimension, Lorry nearly experienced phantom pain and instinctively clutched his lower back.

He looked down at the White Bone Ring, his eyes filled with undisguised astonishment.

The Illusions I just saw was Sequence 7 "Weapon Master" from the "Giant" Pathway, Beyonder Pathway the same Sequence in a confined space.

But when faced with Chandler, a Sequence 7 "Prosecutor" died less than five seconds after being convicted of murder!

"Are all the Blessed of this gift so powerful?!"

Lorry murmured in surprise, but his hands moved quickly, swiftly pulling out a Dark Gold page and tossing it forward.

Once the Illusions of the "Werewolf" was complete, he gave this command:

"Kill that guy."

The abilities of the "Broker" Pathway are equally bizarre.

Lorry worried that the effects of the "Words of Order" could harm the real body through Mysticism connection using a portion of the consciousness within the Illusions.

Therefore, he did not dare to take control personally on these two occasions.

Such Illusions have rather rigid expressions, are unable to speak or think, and possess only two characteristics: fighting instinct and obedience to the creator's commands.

However, its advantage lies in its safety.

Inside the office.

Qianlede's face still bore traces of anger and Distortion, but also a deep sense of bewilderment, unable to understand why Jodson's Corpse had vanished.

Suddenly, his pupils contracted as he saw Jodson reappear.

Without time to consider deeper reasons, Qianlede's gaze swept over the students' Corpse, a fierce glint resurfacing as he prepared to unleash the Words of Order:

"You..."

His voice stopped abruptly, as if someone had suddenly grabbed him by the neck.

Unable to perceive the target's crimes!

Without a crime, a prosecution cannot be brought!

How could that be?! Jodson, a Pirate, even if his main purpose was to explore ruins and treasures, how could he possibly keep his hands clean of blood?!

He just killed Toga!

Qianlede's expression Distortion, turning red and white in turns, his chest heaving violently, and his usually shrewd eyes were filled with deep bewilderment.

Clearly, he couldn't understand what was happening.

Whether he understands or not is his business; the "Werewolf" Illusions, which lacks the ability to think and only knows how to obey orders, has no intention of giving him any more time to think.

"Awoo!"

The Werewolf Illusions howled to the sky.

Its back is slightly arched, a large amount of gray-black hair sprouts from its bare skin, its limbs and torso swell, and its nails grow wildly.

This is the unique transformation ability of "Werewolf": "Werewolf Transformation"!

After transforming, the "Werewolf's " claws and teeth become both strong and sharp, equivalent to Beyonder Weapon of the same Sequence, and they are also inherently poisonous.

This is also why members of the "Rose School" don't use Sealed Artifact much.

They are powerful enough!

"Waaah!"

The Werewolf Illusions stomped hard on the ground, cracking the floorboards, and its massive body, leaving afterimages, hurtled rapidly toward Chandler.

Upon seeing this, Chandler couldn't help but let out a shrill laugh:

You dare hurt me?

"Bound by the ' Shadow Contract,' if you harm me, a curse from my soul will instantly annihilate everything you possess!"

The one who dies first is definitely... uh!

A sharp pain shot through his chest. He looked down blankly and saw a thick arm covered in short, dark gray hair plunging deep into his heart.

Soon, Qianlede raised his head blankly again, and with difficulty, spitting out blood and froth, began to speak:

"You... why... are you alright...?"

Even after being altered... the contract... still cannot... directly cause harm...

Feeling his life slipping away, he struggled to stay upright, staring intently at the wolf's face, which vaguely resembled Jodson, with a look full of doubt.

But a mere Illusions driven by instinct wouldn't answer questions. Seeing that the enemy hadn't died instantly, it swiftly pulled back its arm and snapped the enemy's neck.

This is the power of knowledge...

"If you knew you were facing Illusions, you would at least try to hide..."

Lorry sighed, wasting no time, and quickly pulled the Corpse of Chandler and his apprentice into his own Dimension to set up a ritual for Spirit Channeling.

After a moment, he sighed, utterly speechless.

Ever since Chandler learned that the next Sequence was "The Ambitious One," he began spending money to bribe officials in an attempt to turn Dilinus Island into his own territory.

Therefore, he squandered all his savings from the past three months.

Now his entire net worth is only a few hundred pounds.

"Fortunately, I have other targets to hunt." With that thought, Lorry quickly flew away, returning to the Real World at the corresponding location.

He gently stroked the White Bone Ring and, through Mysticism means, "Teleportation" directly to the side of the Illusions riding in a carriage.

After asking the driver and learning that the Private Harbor was still some distance away, Lorry instructed the Illusions to protect him while his true self entered Meditation state to restore his Spirituality.

About half an hour later, he got off the carriage and quickly disappeared.

Soon, a figure appeared out of thin air—it had beautiful golden shoulder-length hair, shrewd eyes, and wore a loose black robe.

It was clutching a painting tightly in its hands, which appeared to be quite expensive.

After walking for more than ten minutes along the dark, winding path through the Woods, it appeared at the door of a Boathouse and knocked hard three times with a short knock.

The sound of someone getting out of bed came from inside the room, and someone asked impatiently in a hoarse voice:

Who is it?

It coughed twice softly and said in a deep voice:

"I Chandler."

"I urgently need to see your boss."

Knowing that this "Shadow Merchant" had a long-standing cooperative relationship with his Boss, the Pirate Informant in the Boathouse dared not neglect him.

He quickly Door Opening to let the other person in to rest, while he hurried to the other Boathouse to wake up the two people who would help row the boats later.

Five minutes later, a small boat left the Private Harbor under the cover of night. After sailing on the dark sea for more than twenty minutes, it slowly approached a huge object.

A Pirate Informant lit a torch and began exchanging coded signals with his watchman companion.

A moment later.

"Qianlede" appeared outside the captain's cabin. It pushed open the door and approached the "Giant," whose gaze was level with its own even when seated, with a smile on its lips.

"Savi, I just received an antique painting, supposedly related to some ' Giant King.' Would you like to spend a little money to buy it?"
