Revenge

A soft, beautiful voice echoed in the space.

But to Adrian, it sounded like the whisper of death.

His body, which had long since lost its temperature since Advancement "Zombie," trembled violently as he sensed the dense, lingering aura of death.

"The destroyer of the cage of desire;"

"Embrace the Indulgence Believer;"

"..."

Adrian, disregarding everything else, steeled himself and began to pray again.

At that moment, his Spirituality sensed something and quickly looked back, only to see the "Demoness" behind him suddenly stop in place, revealing a strange and indescribable emotion.

Swish!

Adrian turned his head again, having no time to waste deciphering, and continued reciting the remaining prayer in Ancient Hermes:

"...

"The blood-feast priests who serve the Mother Tree; the stars that guide the fallen."

"The great Davis Simon."

"I beg for your favor, I beg you to help me escape this calamity."

But this time, there was silence in his ears.

The Demigod did not respond.

This... how is this possible?! Even if Lord Davis is on his way, it's impossible that he can't even respond to a prayer!

At such close range, even a Demigod could not possibly fail to sense it.

The only possible explanation is:

The other party doesn't want to.

Once the idea took root, it began to grow uncontrollably.

Adrian, whose hopes had just begun to flicker due to the enemy's foolish actions, felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head in the middle of a snowy landscape.

An endless chill rose from the soles of his feet, traveled up his body, and finally filled his head. The soft voice rang out again, carrying an inexplicable tone:

"Looks like I won this bet?"

Hearing these words, which sounded like a verdict, Adrian suddenly awoke, and his will to survive once again overcame his instinct for fear, causing him to run at full speed.

Suddenly, he heard a very faint plop.

The sound was very faint, yet it sounded incredibly clear.

It felt as if... it came from within.

in vivo?

Adrian was slightly taken aback, then heard more similar sounds.

Countless streams of heat surged and crashed inside his body, finally rushing towards his head at the very top, disregarding the fact that he was already nearing his limit.

The next second, it was as if something Explosion in his Brain. His body, like Marionette with broken strings, lost control and was thrown out by the original inertia, landing hard on the ground in front of him.

Amidst the unhurried footsteps, he convulsively struggled to turn over.

On his deathbed, he saw the "Demoness" walk up to him, muttering as she remarked, "The body of a ' Zombie ' is truly sturdy." He saw that indescribable expression on her face again.

At that moment, he suddenly understood its meaning: it seemed to be the joy of finally releasing an emotion that had been suppressed to the extreme.

Pali paused for two seconds, then her lips curled into a slightly pleased smile.

Then, she slowly raised the "Sword of Lava".

The Berserk Sea, nearshore.

In the silvery flash of lightning, Davis Simon's voice seemed to come from hell:

"Jodson!"

This Demigod of the "Rose School" had lost his previous confidence and now looked quite miserable, with tattered clothes, charred body, and constantly spitting blood.

He originally planned to enter the Spirit World to temporarily avoid the attack, but unfortunately, he was too unlucky. As soon as he showed his face, his enemies came knocking on his door, and he had no choice but to slink back to the Real World.

Faced with the lightning domain ability at the Demigod level, he naturally dared not continue to play the role of a "Wraith" and had no choice but to transform into a "Marionette" and force his way in.

As a result, although he managed to break through the lightning-covered area thanks to the "Marionette's " top-ranking defense within its Sequence, he was also seriously injured. Being so badly beaten by a Mid-Sequence Beyonder being brought Davis Simon's killing intent to its peak.

He gave "Traveler Lorry" a cold look, quickly established Mysticism connection, and his figure instantly Distortion, turning into a life-sized Marionette.

This Marionette looks exactly like "Traveler Lorry," with black hair, black eyes, and is tall and handsome.

Bang!

Without hesitation, the "Traveler Lorry" Marionette clenched his fist and slammed it into his own chest.

Almost simultaneously, "Traveler Lorry" on the beach felt as if he had been struck in the chest by an invisible blow, staggering back seven or eight steps.

This is another ability of the "Marionette," the "Source of Curse"!

"Marionette" can establish a strong Mysticism connection with their target through items such as magical Marionette and magical Paper Figurine, thereby cursing the target.

When in this state:

Harm to one party will be reflected in the other.

To put it another way, this is a self-destructive form of attack!

Generally speaking, "Marionette" rarely use this method; it is only commonly used after reaching Sequence 3 and undergoing a qualitative change in ability. But the current situation is undoubtedly very suitable.

As Half-Human, Half-God had already unlocked the door to divinity, Davis Simon believed that his vitality far surpassed that of a Mid-Sequence Beyonder.

An attack of the same magnitude might only cause one to cough up blood.

However, when it comes into contact with the target, it can be fatal.

"To be able to push a true Demigod to this point, even with the help of Sealed Artifact, this achievement is something you should be proud of."

"Next, you will pay for your actions with your life!"

The mechanical voice of the "Traveler Lorry" Marionette was transmitted into Traveler Lorry's ears through the power of the Charm, causing the corners of its mouth to curl up slightly.

Pride... the price..."Traveler Lorry scoffed:

"Isn't it just the ' Source of Curse '?"

Since it was sent to target the Demigod of the "Rose School," it was naturally infused with sufficient knowledge when it was created.

At the very least, having a clear understanding of the abilities of the "Shaman King" and the "Marionette," how could they not recognize the power the other party had just used?

--"The Shaman King" is Sequence 4 of the "Moon" Pathway, and this Pathway is controlled by the faction within the "Rose School" that believes in the "Primordial Moon." Lorry wasn't sure if Adrian could invoke Demigod, so he couldn't possibly Soothsayer the other party's Pathway beforehand, and therefore made extra preparations.

At this moment, the "Traveler Lorry" Marionette raised his hands without hesitation and grabbed his own neck, then twisted it clockwise with force.

Seeing this, "Traveler Lorry" raised his hand and pinched the majestic, ancient-style black crown on his head, then quickly waved his arm and said:

"Distortion!"

It Distortion its Mysticism connection with the "Rose School" Demigod, pointing it to a large, fat fish leaping high from the sea.

Click!

The head of the "Traveler Lorry" Marionette rotated 360 degrees.

At the same time, the large, fat fish, which was flying through the air, twisted its head strangely, broke its body in two, and fell back into the sea amidst a spray of blood.

Davis Simon's expression was a mixture of shock and anger, his pupils trembling.

The connection still exists, yet Jodson isn't dead? Was the connection transferred using some kind of ability? As Demigod, he is not lacking in Mysticism knowledge.

Soon, they were able to guess the likely cause of the fish's death.

To disrupt my established Mysticism connection in such a short time, only Demigod could be involved... The "Sailor" Pathway's Sealed Artifact don't possess similar abilities, meaning Jodson has not just one, but two Level 1 Sealed Artifact... The second one might be from the "Lawyer" Pathway... Two Level 1 Sealed Artifact —no wonder he was able to defeat the "King of Immortality"...

Moreover, his Spirituality seems to be somewhat abnormal... A normal Mid-Sequence Beyonder could not easily use two "Level 1" Sealed Artifact...

Amidst a jumble of thoughts, Davis Simon transformed back into his original form.

With a snap, he straightened his neck, and, deep in thought, temporarily distanced himself, beginning to seriously consider his future.

On the beach, "Traveler Lorry" raised his hand to adjust his black crown.

"Bestowal!"

It Bestowal upon the "Rose School" Demigod the negative state of "losing their fighting spirit".

Even though Jodson is only Mid-Sequence, with his two "Level 1" Sealed Artifact, he is undoubtedly no weaker than a typical Sequence 4...

My abilities are being countered anyway, so there's no need for a life-or-death battle with him... It's better to report this to higher authorities; those adults who are interested will naturally take action...

Conversely, even if I fight a fierce battle and manage to seize those two Sealed Artifact, I might not be able to keep them. Why risk my life for the benefit of others...?

With this in mind, Davis Simon gradually began to consider withdrawing.

Only then did he have the mind to listen to the prayer he had just heard, and, relying on the Mysticism connection they had established, cast a glance across the distance. Already dead? Davis Simon frowned slightly, then breathed a sigh of relief, as if unloading a burden, and turned to fly away with a clear conscience.

I didn't abandon him to his death; he was just ambushed on the road.

In that case, Kalaman would have no reason to blame himself for neglecting his descendants, but rather for his own incompetence in not waiting for his rescue.

"Traveler Lorry" stood calmly on the beach, not launching an attack, letting the "Rose School" Demigod gradually disappear from sight.

Then, he uttered a Hermes word in a low voice:

"Teleportation!"

A low hill not too far away.

Mumulik Solomon Lorry emerged from the Woods with his arms crossed, his gaze sweeping over the ground not far away, which was difficult to look at directly, and clicked his tongue in disapproval:

Is it really necessary?

Pali, as if she hadn't heard, raised her hand to wipe the blood from her face and slowly said:

"I am a woman now. Didn't the original body say that venting emotions is a woman's privilege?"

As she spoke, she walked over to the other person, looked them up and down, and said, "Of course, if you also need to vent, but want a different way, I can..."

Stop!

You don't need to say anything more.

Mumulik cried out in alarm and swallowed hard.

Pali scoffed and stopped teasing the newcomer. "You'll understand in time that it's not just the host who's affected."

"We can influence them, and they can influence us in return."

As she spoke, she tossed the Beyonder Characteristic of the "Wraith" that Adrian had extracted, and casually asked, "What's the next plan?"

"We're waiting for someone to pick us up," Mumulik replied simply.

Before he finished speaking, he turned his head as Spirituality sensing something, and saw the figure of "Traveler Lorry" slowly emerge. He turned back, shrugged, and said:

Let's go.
