As a Sanguine who prefers to stay at home, Emlyn has participated in so many battles over the years that he can count them on one hand, and he has never tried to fight multiple opponents at once.
Whether dealing with the believers of the " The Moon Primordial " from last time, or confronting Bishop Utravsky of the Harvest Church, he generally had the advantage in numbers, at the very least one-on-one.
Emlyn's face gradually turned green as he recalled how his family of three had failed to defeat the Half-Giant bishop, as if he were reminiscing about the torment he had suffered at the Harvest Church.
Because there were many guests coming and going, and Galis Kevin, this artificial Vampire, also had keen senses, he didn't dare to linger outside the door for too long. He quickly passed by and walked to the end of the corridor, hiding in the darkness.
What to do next... Emlyn leaned against the clutter blocking the crimson Moonlight, his thoughts racing, trying to find a solution from his meager experience.
Gradually, some of the words the " The Hanged Man " taught the " The Sun " surfaced in his mind:
Patience is an important prerequisite for dealing with many situations...
"Only by knowing how to control one's impulses and impatience can one minimize risks..."
"Sometimes, patience is very important..."
Endurance... Emlyn nodded almost imperceptibly, understanding what he had to do.
He planned to hide here and wait for Argos to leave!
This isn't the artificial Vampire's home; he'll inevitably leave, and then Emlyn will be able to deal with him one-on-one again.
Patience, forbearance, waiting... Emlyn repeated similar words in his mind to combat the harm his surroundings were causing him.
The air on the first floor of the apartment was filled with the stench of urine, dampness, rotten water, unwashed feces, the pungent smell of burning cheap coal, the stench of sweat that hadn't been washed for days, the strong odors brought by some tenants, and various sour, unpleasant, and disgusting smells. They mingled together, like poison, eroding Emlyn's senses.
For the first time in his life, Emlyn wanted to cut off his nose, feeling as if he were being tortured in Abyss or in Hell.
Patience... forbearance... waiting... He mechanically recited the "rules," feeling that every second was incredibly long.
Finally, he saw Galis Kevin's door open, and a slender figure with dark brown skin walked out. His profile showed prominent cheekbones, a high nose bridge, and a slightly hooked tip. It was Argos, a follower of the " The Moon Primordial."
At this moment, several areas on his face were swollen and ulcerated, making him look somewhat disgusting.
Sure enough, just as that little " Old Man " Ian had said, this guy's clothes were complete and clean, not at all like those of a resident of the East Borough... Emlyn perked up, muttering to himself as he watched Argos walk out of the apartment building.
After waiting patiently for nearly five minutes, he stood up and decided to take action.
Because their target Galis Kevin, is an artificial Vampire, Emlyn is quite familiar with his strengths and characteristics, allowing him to prepare accordingly.
Galis Kevin's sense of smell isn't much worse than mine was when I was just an adult. Ha, I'm not so sure about that. He can live in this kind of environment. Maybe he's lost his nose or his brain... And his Spirituality isn't weak. He has an instinctive intuition for danger... His eyesight and hearing aren't bad either... Emlyn looked down on him while taking Potion and spraying liquid to cover up his body odor again, deeply.
Then, just like last time, he used internal and external Potion to conceal his body and coat, disappearing from the spot as if erased by an eraser.
In a deserted, dark corner, a palm-sized, patina-green notebook suddenly appeared out of thin air, as if it had just passed through some transparent barrier.
It turned almost silently on its own, eventually settling on a blank page composed of numerous astrological symbols.
The symbols then disappeared, and the surrounding area became slightly brighter.
This is the interference ability belonging to " Astrologer "!
Then, the verdigris-colored " Lemano's Travel Notes " receded, disappearing inch by inch, once again concealed by an invisible barrier.
Emlyn, having prepared himself, reviewed the plan of action, then quietly and silently approached Galis Kevin's room, without going near the front door.
The patina-green notebook reappeared out of thin air, turning to the page on " Door Opening ".
The illusory voice immediately echoed in Emlyn's mind, "propelling" him to reach out a hand and press it against the wall.
Meanwhile, Emlyn carefully tucked " Lemano's Travel Notes " inside his clothing, concealing it with his invisible coat.
When Emlyn's hand finally pressed against the wall, a blurry, pale blue door suddenly appeared before him, embedded in the wall yet revealing traces of the brickwork below.
Emlyn listened intently to the sounds inside the room and sniffed the air before stepping forward, passing through the dark blue door as if through a curtain of water.
The scene before his eyes changed instantly, revealing stained walls, wooden beds, dilapidated cabinets, and various odds and ends placed on the other three sides.
This is the interior of Galis Kevin's room!
The dark blue gate behind Emlyn had vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed at all.
Emlyn cautiously scanned the area and spotted his target Galis Kevin.
This follower of the " The Moon Primordial " was a good-looking mixed-race individual with long hair that fell to his shoulders and brown eyes tinged with dark red, seemingly not having fully acquired the eye color of Sanguine.
At that moment, he was sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at the door, lost in thought.
Emlyn moved silently to the side, took out " Lemano's Travel Notes " from his blind spot, and turned to the page that made his fingers tingle slightly.
The page was yellowish-brown, seemingly parchment, and covered with various ancient and Distortion symbols and patterns, which together formed a pattern that resembled a slender tree stretching its branches.
After adjusting the angle, Emlyn ran his finger across the paper.
Suddenly, a silvery-white flash of lightning illuminated the room as if it were daytime.
Before the crackling sound could be heard, the lightning struck Galis Kevin directly on the head, instantly charring the " The Moon Primordial " believer's body, causing him to tremble violently and briefly lose focus.
As the silvery lightning continued to crisscross chaotically, Emlyn White suddenly appeared behind his frozen target, extending his right hand and gripping the man's neck.
Snap!
He calmly snapped Galis Kevin's neck, then forcefully ripped his head off and threw it away, giving Kevin no chance to recover using his superhuman healing abilities.
Snap!
Galis Kevin's headless body fell to the ground, blood splattered everywhere.
An artificial Vampire thus lost its life.
Emlyn's calm expression was quickly replaced by shock. He looked down in disbelief at the head in his hand and realized that Galis Kevin, even in death, did not understand what had happened; his eyes were filled with a mixture of pain and confusion.
So simple? So easy? Emlyn was proud, but he didn't think he could kill an artificial Vampire so easily. But the facts told him that it was indeed that simple and easy.
Lightning Strike that can cause paralysis, combined with my own high-speed movement ability, can actually achieve the effect of instantly killing the target... Ha, the premise is that the opponent is very afraid of lightning and is easily paralyzed by it... Also, interfering with Spirituality intuition beforehand and avoiding direct confrontation, and entering through walls are all key to success... After a few seconds of stunned silence, Emlyn finally reviewed the details of what had just happened and summarized a lot of experience.
This made him truly realize the power of combining extraordinary abilities and the value of the " Lemano's Travel Notes ".
No wonder Mr. The Hanged Man was the first one he wanted to rent... Emlyn snapped out of his thoughts, looking at the blood gushing from Galis Kevin, and his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.
He hadn't tasted such fresh blood in a long time.
However, he dared not drink it, because the other party's Beyonder Characteristic had not yet been extracted, and some were still contained in his blood. Drinking it could easily cause an overdose of Beyonder Characteristic, posing a potential risk of loss of control and hindering his subsequent actions.
Emlyn looked away, glanced around, and found a stack of old newspapers and a small wooden box, which he planned to use to store Galis Kevin's head later.
Before that, he sat down and waited for the other party's Beyonder Characteristic to emerge.
Two minutes later, Emlyn suddenly raised his head and looked towards the door.
He heard footsteps approaching!
Immediately afterwards, he smelled Argos!
The artificial Vampire is back? He turned back halfway? Emlyn White a little nervous, unsure how to handle the situation.
Thump!
Argos knocked on the door from outside, then fell silent, becoming unusually quiet.
Emlyn was taken aback at first, but then realized that the other person had smelled blood and knew that something was wrong in the room.
What should he do... rush out and finish him off? No, that would be seen by others, and he'd be captured by the official Beyonder... Emlyn instinctively took out a potion, preparing to hide himself again.
Then, he got Spirit Intuition from this.
Emlyn let out a silent breath, placed Galis Kevin's head on the bed, drank the invisibility Potion, sprayed the corresponding liquid, and moved very slowly and quietly to a corner to hide.
After this, the room would be a scene where the assassination had been completed and the killer had already fled.
Time passed slowly, and both inside and outside the door were quiet, without any sound, except for the occasional passing of other guests.
Suddenly, the window in Galis Kevin's room creaked open, and two pairs of eyes turned in.
After a careful examination, Argos, whose face bore signs of ulceration, leaped into the room and slowly approached the corpse that was subtly revealing Beyonder Characteristic.
While the other person wasn't looking their way, Emlyn White, hiding in the corner, quietly took out " Lemano's Travel Notes " and turned to the next page, " Lightning Strike."
Just then, Argos's gaze fell on the bed, on his companion's head, on the stack of old newspapers, and on the small wooden box.
His pupils suddenly contracted.
