Upon seeing a young man in a black trench coat descend from the red moon, wielding a black iron revolver, Qonas Kilgor, who was familiar with most of the world's important figures, immediately took action.
His left hand, gripping the " Iron Sheet " pocket watch, moved his thumb rapidly toward one of the several metal buttons haphazardly embedded at the top of the watch, while his right arm shot up, aiming at Gehrman Sparrow with the six gray gun barrels arranged in a circle.
The process was like a spark ignited by the collision of metal; it ended quickly, and Qonas Kilgor's left thumb ultimately did not press down.
He overcame his conditioned reflex and did not directly invoke the "forbidden" element of the " Concerto of Light and Shadow ".
This is because he doesn't know much about Gehrman Sparrow, doesn't know what the other person is best at, and besides, someone who looks like Gehrman Sparrow might not actually be Gehrman Sparrow would only waste opportunities.
He planned to observe further and wait, so that he could formulate more targeted Edict and Distortion the rules.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang!
The strange pistol let out a desperate scream, unleashing Storm of black, icy bullets that instantly enveloped the enemy under the red moon.
At that moment, Gehrman Sparrow's figure suddenly became transparent, losing its realism.
The bullet that arrived at the same time pierced through the target wearing a black trench coat, tearing apart the afterimage he left behind.
Behind Qonas Kilgor, the cold-faced Gehrman Sparrow suddenly appeared, his body half-lying forward, his black top hat stained with a touch of blood under the crimson Moonlight.
He abruptly raised the long, black, iron-barreled revolver in his hand, and as he aimed, he slightly opened his mouth and lightly touched the trigger.
Bang!
To Qonas Kilgor's right, the floor suddenly exploded, scattering countless fragments.
Gehrman Sparrow's shot was so off target that it clearly lacked destructive power.
This is the " Distortion " of the " Earl of the Fallen," which causes the ballistic trajectory to deviate and its power to decrease.
Seizing the opportunity, Qonas Kilgor "confused" his measurement of distance and stepped onto the bedroom balcony.
Then, he half-turned his body, snapped a button on one of the metal buttons on his " Iron Sheet " pocket watch, and solemnly began to speak:
Teleportation is prohibited here!
Without a sound, some unknown change occurred at the Megro Manor, which was illuminated by the huge red moon Gehrman Sparrow, whose body had been fading rapidly after firing the shot, reappeared from the void.
He was unable to change positions successfully.
" Concerto of Light and Shadow," "Forbidden!"
For Qonas Kilgor, regardless of what Gehrman Sparrow was good at, since he could " Teleportation," he had to "stop" him immediately. An enemy who could " Teleportation " at a high frequency without interruption was not only annoying but also dangerous!
Upon discovering that his " Teleportation " had failed, Gehrman Sparrow. His figure Distortion rapidly, losing all color and leaving only deep black.
This "deep blackness" suddenly collapsed, spreading out on the ground, merging with the shadows of the areas where the Moonlight couldn't reach, becoming indistinguishable from each other.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang Gehrman Sparrow had just been standing, tearing the floor apart.
Boom!
The place collapsed completely, revealing the room below, but no dust rose up.
Amidst this commotion, the Megro Manor remained shrouded in deep shadow; no one awoke, and there was no echo.
Qonas Kilgor suppressed the urge to immediately "forbid" the act of Shadow Concealment. Holding " Riveir's Desperate Scream " and " Concerto of Light and Shadow," he calmly observed his surroundings, waiting for Gehrman Sparrow to reappear and launch an attack.
However, inside the dilapidated room, the shadows were silent and still, without the slightest movement, while outside the window, the spires and chimneys remained shrouded in cold black, and the huge red moon seemed to hang right on the roof.
The plants in the garden, the grapevines in the distance, and the various classic windows all seem to have degenerated into the background on such a night; they are clearly visible to the naked eye, yet they don't even sway.
The entire Megro Manor was so cold, dark, and silent, as if it had been forgotten in a corner that no one paid attention to or could find, devoid of any vitality.
As a Demigod and a prominent figure in the intelligence world, Qonas Kilgor quickly formed a suspicion that this was related to authority in the " Concealment " realm.
This sparked many thoughts in his mind, but Gehrman Sparrow still hadn't appeared.
He didn't launch a sneak attack and even forwent the opportunity for a series of strikes, leaving me with so many openings... Doesn't he realize how difficult a High-Sequence " Lawyer " or " Arbiter " can be to deal with once they have made sufficient preparations in the early stages of a battle? A hint of doubt flashed through Qonas Kilgor's mind.
His observation of his surroundings and the relatively relaxed atmosphere allowed him to quickly grasp his situation and understand that defeating Gehrman Sparrow was not the key; escaping this strange and Concealment world was the priority.
If we can't leave this place, there's a high chance of other dangers ahead!
As long as I can escape this gloomy Megro Manor, even if Angel descend, I, in Backlund, won't be so afraid... And this man-made Concealment world must have an exit; this is a rule that cannot be bypassed in mysticism... The use and Distortion of rules is precisely what the " Lawyer " path Demigod excel at! Amidst a flurry of thoughts, Qonas Kilgor quickly made a decision.
He suddenly turned around, leaped up from the balcony with great force, and sped up like a spring.
This military Demigod leaped to a great height, yet his speed did not slow down, and he showed no sign of falling.
He maintained this speed, getting higher and higher, until he actually took flight.
" The Earl of the Fallen ", "Exploitation"!
This is an "exploitation" of the rules, prolonging the take-off process and allowing the speed to be maintained for a longer time.
If Qonas Kilgor could become Sequence 2 Angel, he could even use this extraordinary ability to jump directly from the ground to the Red Moon.
As he leaped into the air, Qonas Kilgor swung his right arm, activating his extraordinary ability, "Chaos."
His goal is to create a certain amount of "chaos" throughout the entire Megro Manor and the entire strange world, thereby causing a brief ripple and revealing the true exit.
In an instant, the flowers and grapevines that formed the backdrop of the Megro Manor began to sway, and the shadowy spires, chimneys, and classical windows seemed to soften, losing their shroud-like appearance.
Of all the things in the world, only the enormous, nearby red moon remained unchanged, still hanging there silently.
That was the exit! Qonas Kilgor gleaned a pattern from the chaos, relying on concrete feedback to determine where to leave.
Without hesitation, he used his waist to exert force, employing his extraordinary ability to "amplify," and forcibly changed direction, propelling himself toward the bright the Moon.
Just then, a figure emerged from the shadows in front of the main house of the Megro Manor. It was none other than Gehrman Sparrow, wearing a black trench coat, a top hat, and a cold, stern face.
Ugh!
A sudden gust of wind appeared out of nowhere, swirling Gehrman Sparrow upwards in pursuit of Qonas Kilgor.
In the wind Gehrman Sparrow raised the iron-black revolver in his right hand and pulled the trigger.
Bang!
A bullet flew out and exploded into countless fragments.
They immediately transformed into Storm, completely engulfing the area where Qonas Kilgor was located.
" Death Knell " revolver, " Slaughter," a hail of shotgun shells!
Almost simultaneously, without warning, Qonas Kilgor changed direction, from heading towards the Moon to plummeting straight down.
He thus escaped the Storm of bullets, as if he had been prepared.
No, it wasn't just a possibility; he was fully prepared! Although his main goal was to escape the mutated Megro Manor, he was still worried that Gehrman Sparrow. So, he devised a simple trap, intending to use his own escape as bait to lure out the hiding Gehrman Sparrow and injure or even severely damage him first.
Halfway down, Qonas Kilgor's figure suddenly bounced back, once again " Distortion " its direction of travel.
This time, his destination was the "next stop" on Gehrman Sparrow's flight path!
Immediately afterwards, he pulled hard with his left hand holding the pocket watch, and somehow grabbed Gehrman Sparrow from a distance, pulling the man from dozens of meters away to his front.
" The Earl of the Fallen ", "Magnified"!
Ugh!
Amidst the whistling wind, Qonas Kilgor grabbed Gehrman Sparrow's shirt at the chest and pressed his peculiar pistol against it.
Bang bang bang bang bang!
" Riveir's Desperate Scream " fired countless bullets like a machine gun, instantly tearing Gehrman Sparrow's body apart into countless pieces of paper flying everywhere.
Qonas Kilgor's gaze froze slightly, and he immediately moved his left thumb, pressing one of the metal buttons on the pocket watch once more.
With a snap, the " Earl of the Fallen " spoke authoritatively without hesitation:
"The use of body doubles is prohibited here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the howling wind in the air stopped, and Megro Manor returned to silence, once again shrouded in dark shadows.
Qonas Kilgor changed direction and began circling in mid-air, searching for Gehrman Sparrow, but the night remained still and nothing unusual happened.
The " Earl of the Fallen " considered his options for a moment, then prepared to continue his journey toward the enormous red moon.
At that moment, figures appeared and grew taller in the garden, vineyard, and manor house, quickly taking shape.
They all had black hair and brown eyes, with striking features, wearing silk top hats and black trench coats—they were all Gehrman Sparrow!
The only difference is that some of them have normal body shape, some have sunken backs, some have faint bloating, and some have only a thin layer.
Upon seeing this scene, Qonas Kilgor immediately recalled a dangerous enemy he had once encountered:
One of the covert leaders of Intis's intelligence agency;
A " Bizarro Sorcerer "!
