Phantom Eye

A tall, thin, dark shadow emerged from the shadows. It was semi-transparent and instantly pounced on Lumian, seemingly trying to find a new body for itself.

It looks like possession by Wraith and Evil Spirit, the kind that can control the host, but not as fast; the whole process can't be completed in the blink of an eye.

Just then, the Slumber Lumian suddenly turned black and thin, merging into the surrounding shadows and disappearing from the bed.

This is his newly signed Contract Ability, "Shadow Transformation"!

The room fell eerily quiet, as if only the translucent, tall, thin black figure remained; there was no Lumian, nor any real attacker.

The next second, the darkness seemed to crack open, and a dark Python crawled out, so rotten that you could see the bones, with yellowish-green pus dripping everywhere.

The Python's eyes were empty Cavern, and its mouth had no sharp teeth; when it opened, it resembled Whirlpool.

It emitted a sharp, rapid sound, and a terrifying suction force seemed to emanate from its mouth, causing large swaths of the surrounding shadows to detach from their physical forms and fly inside.

This appears to be a type of Undead that feeds exclusively on shadows and Shadow Creature.

In an instant, the Master Bedroom bedroom of cabin number 5 in First Class "Flying Bird" presented a strange scene: there was still some dim light, but everything had lost its shadow and Slumber in pure darkness.

Lumian emerged from the shadows in time, regained her human form, and appeared in the area with a thick carpet and an exquisite wardrobe.

Almost simultaneously, another tall figure emerged from the darkness.

It was a knight clad in tattered Black Armor, Paleness Flames Burning in its Eye Sockets, and a putrid liquid oozing from the gaps in the armor plates; the exposed skin was nothing but sticky flesh and blood.

The already dead knight raised his greatsword, took a step forward, and slashed at Lumian with the force to shatter a large bed and a wardrobe.

Lumian's body flexibly shifted, changing from facing the Death Knight, the Shadow-Devouring Giant Python, and the tall, thin figure to facing them sideways.

Whoosh!

As the Death Knight's two-handed greatsword cleaved the wardrobe in two, sending shards flying, Lumian suddenly crouched down, clenched his fists, Heavy Blow onto the thick, Brownish Yellow carpet.

A massive burst of Reddish White Flames exploded from this point, sweeping across every corner of the room, igniting everything Burning, and scorching the three Undead that appeared to be from the Spirit World.

Rumble!

Amidst the churning flames, Fireball condensed and shot out from around Lumian.

They either flew towards the Death Knight, the Shadow-Devouring Giant Python, and the tall, thin shadow, or indiscriminately covered the not-so-small bedroom.

Rumble!

The Reddish-White Fireball exploded one after another, tearing apart the three Undead, shattering the Bed, Desk and other furniture, and sending thick, pungent smoke billowing from the carpet.

In such a violent explosion, within such a limited space, anything that wasn't a pure Wraith or a pure Spirit Body, but still had some physical form, would inevitably be destroyed. The steel-like armor on the Death Knight instantly disintegrated, and the Giant Serpent that devoured the shadows was torn into pieces, turning into a large number of Burning corpses.

The tall, thin figure was in relatively better condition, but it had also been burned by the Flames, becoming thin and fragile.

Rumble!

Although the "Flying Bird" was a ship made of steel, it was as if it had been hit by multiple cannons in the same small area at the same time. No room could have survived such a powerful impact without being damaged. Strangely, the bedroom in First Class number 5 only had cracks in the inner wall. Neither the wall nor the door actually cracked.

Of course, the invisible Barrier that enveloped the area began to shake violently, as if it would collapse at any moment.

Affected by the Impact rebounding from the walls, doors, and ceiling, Lumian, who caused the explosion, was also in bad shape. It was as if he had been Heavy Blow with a huge Hammer seven or eight times. All he could see were tiny Golden dots, and a strong metallic taste filled his throat.

The air that was instantly Burning away by the Flames made him experience what suffocation felt like.

Amidst the rolling waves of fire, Daoist was forced to leave the darkness.

He stood inside the window, wearing a long black Robe and a loose Hood. His body was torn in multiple ways by the blast wave and the sweeping Flames, leaving large areas charred black.

Lumian saw that all the body hair on this person's skin was Pale White, and no longer fine individual hairs, but rather very small feathers, almost indistinguishable to the naked eye. After some of them were charred black, what they emitted was not thick smoke, but a dark, hazy Miasma.

The blood flowing from those multiple wounds was not bright red, but a yellowish-green pus.

Lumian also saw that under the Daoist's lifted Hood was a Paleness face and several deep, bone-revealing ulcers, with faint Pale White hairs visible above the wounds.

The next second, Lumian saw the other person's cold, Linen-Colored Eyes, and between those Eyes, at the space between their brows, a crack rapidly widened.

Within the crack was a phantom, deep purple-black vertical eye. It had no eyelashes, no pupil, and no book-like opening; its interior seemed to conceal countless Paleness patterns.

The strange vertical eye instantly reflected Lumian's image.

Lumian, who intended to Teleportation directly behind the Hood man using the "Heng-Ha Art," suddenly felt as if he had been frozen.

That comes from the spiritual level.

It was as if his Spirit Body had lost the protection of his body and was directly exposed to the intense Sunlight, instinctively becoming fearful, stiff, and sluggish.

--Under normal circumstances, humans travel through the Spirit World using Astral Body to obtain various revelations. The Spirit Body, which is the origin of the soul, rarely leaves the body and is always heavily protected.

The "Mental Piercing" Pathway of the "Arbiter" pathway is renowned for its difficulty to defend against because it ignores the physical body, Ether Body, Astral Body, and Mental Body, and directly affects the Spirit Body. It seems that everyone is affected, only to varying degrees.

Lumian suspected that the "Heng-Ha Art" was similar.

Within the attacker's deep purple-black vertical eyes, Paleness patterns silently began to rotate, as if trying to discern the true nature of Lumian's Spirit Body.

This made Lumian feel as if he were being scanned by beams of penetrating light, causing his Spirit Body to tremble slightly and making it impossible for him to form any complex thoughts.

Just as he was about to take the simplest action, sinking his consciousness into the "Blood Emperor" Brand on his right hand, the strange man wearing Hood suddenly groaned in pain.

His head snapped back as if he'd been shot in the head.

The illusory, deep purple-black vertical eye (https://m. hetushu. com. com) was no longer translucent; it was now a blur, dripping with dark red blood mixed with Yellow-Green Pus.

With a groan of pain, the Hood man whirled around and, dragged by an invisible force, flew out the window.

Seeing this, Lumian didn't rush to use "Spirit World Traversal" to block the other party's way. Instead, he raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.

Boom!

At the window, a flash of Reddish White light followed, and a violent explosion enveloped the strange Hood man.

This was a trap set by Lumian.

Before he "slept," he hid the Master Bedroom inside the "Fictional Bottle." There were two entrances, one through the window and one through the door, and only beings with extraordinary powers could pass through. Regardless of which exit he chose, he had concealed Fireball that Delayed Explosion.

This can explode when provoked.

In the raging explosion, the strange Hood man was thrown into the air and slammed against the window frame, his arms and legs in a position as if they were about to detach from his torso.

Without hesitation, Lumian Teleportation to the side of the strange man who was already severely injured and unconscious, and snorted at the enemy.

Two beams of white light shot out and landed on the target, making him lose consciousness even more completely.

Just as Lumian was about to take his next step, pairs of arms suddenly emerged from the darkness at the exit of the "Fictional Bottle," which had been shattered by the explosion.

Some of them were covered in tumors, some were rotting so badly that pus was oozing out, and some were just blackened bones...

These arms grabbed the Hood man's clothes and dragged him into the darkness, where he vanished without a trace.

Seeing this, Lumian didn't immediately transform into Shadow Creature to pursue them, but instead stayed where he was, frowning slightly.

The attacker just now looked about 70-80% like the "Devil Warlock" Bourman on the wanted poster, but he was even more inhuman, with many details resembling an undead Monster rather than a human.

Lumian was not surprised at all by the appearance of "Devil Warlock" Bourman; it was exactly what he had been waiting for.

He deliberately mentioned his suspicions about Fidel's relationship with the "Devil Warlock" in front of him, without making it clear, in order to create the illusion that Louis Berri, this audacious and scheming adventurer, wanted to extort money from a wealthy merchant.

Normally, even if Fidel had a real problem, he wouldn't act so quickly; he would definitely observe closely for a few days to confirm the situation. But this time, Lumian "gave" him a chance:

The adventurer Louis Berri is announcing his new Commission: to lure out "The Black Lord"!

Therefore, no one would find it strange that he was killed by "Klass Kiz".

The death of an overconfident individual in Falin Port will not cause any stir or arouse any suspicion.

If that's the case, why not nip the danger in the bud?

Even if Louis Berri only had suspicions and no evidence, it would still draw the attention of the Official Beyonder.

Lumian's "performance" at the Bar last night, seemingly aimed at hooking up with "Black Lord" Claes Kitz, was actually aimed at hooking up with the big businessman Fidel Gellar!

If Fidel truly has no connection to the "Devil Warlock," then this won't cause any additional reactions. Lumian can simply continue with his apparent purpose of Hunting the "Black Lord." If he does have a connection, he'll soon receive "feedback."

To Lumian's surprise, the abilities displayed by the "Devil Warlock" Bourman were similar to, yet also different from, those of the Divine Pathway he knew!
