After a few minutes, Daly Simone and Leonard Mitchell, who had made a series of Error, finally reached the top of the steep stairs.
They descended slowly, one level at a time, cautiously surveying their surroundings, ready to fight at any moment.
However, even after reaching the bottom, they found nothing unusual, not even a useful trace.
Daly reached out into the wind again, brought her hand to her ear, and listened carefully.
A few seconds later, she looked around and said:
"There was the sound of gunfire, a weapon was left at the corner of the street ahead, and that... that man named Enzo is dead, dead..."
"Who did this?" Leonard asked, quite surprised.
In his view, because of the various setbacks they had just experienced, Enzo had essentially escaped capture and there was no possibility that he had been eliminated or the clues erased by the Rose School of Thought's secret surveillance personnel.
If that's the case, then who killed this Beyonder was suspected to be Sequence 6 5?
It should be noted that " Red Gloves " had used the sealed Sealed Artifact to perform a certain degree of counter- Divination beforehand, so no one could have predicted that they would be waiting here specifically to hunt down the escaped Enzo.
Daly shook her head:
"Those little guys weren't seen; they must be Beyonder are very skilled at counter- Divination..."
"Perhaps Enzo's enemy was planning to act tonight."
She offered her initial guess, then split up with Leonard to search the nearby neighborhoods to see if they could find any overlooked clues.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Leonard walked around to the guardrail of one of the streets and lowered his voice:
" Old Man, have you found anything?"
The Pallez Zoroast inside him answered after two or three seconds:
"You should have heard a scream just now, which corrected your tracking direction."
"That was emitted by Enzo. He seemed to have seen something extremely terrifying and indescribable, something that could directly harm and corrupt his Spirit Body."
Leonard paused for a moment, his eyes narrowing slightly, and repeated in a low voice:
"Something extremely terrifying and indescribable..."
Inside the hotel room, Klein " Teleportation " back with his new Marionette.
He then had the Marionette stand to his side, found a chair, sat down, and sighed as he examined it:
"An Beyonder through the ' Monster ' pathway, but still not as good as Senor; he can't hide on the surface of the gold coin and carry it with him, he can only always follow it by his side..."
"From Beyonder Pathway, he is not a core member of the Rose School of Thought, but his Sequence is not low, and he should be valued to a certain extent. In other words, if I don't disguise myself, it will be easy for the Rose School of Thought to target me..."
"On the other hand, it seems we can also use him as bait to catch another ' Wraith '. At that time, he will act alone, and I will hide at a distance of nearly 200 meters, waiting for the prey to take the bait."
"No, no, I can't let Greed influence me. The Southern Continent is where the Rose School of Thought is active. If my whereabouts are exposed, given how much the ' Mother Tree of Desire ' values me, not only will Saint come, but Angel may even descend directly!"
"Hmm, let's disguise this Marionette. As a ' Faceless,' I'm quite good at this..."
"Then, we'll continue using mystical methods to find the next Marionette, while we wait for Danitz to finish his investigation and for Mr. Azik to come to me."
Klein quickly made a decision and, combining various methods, preliminarily ascertained the new Marionette's rank and extraordinary abilities:
This is Sequence 5 of the " Fate " path, " Winner "!
Among them, Sequence 9 " Monster " in this path belongs to the type with extremely high Spirit Intuition. They can often hear sounds that others cannot hear, see things that others cannot see, and even occasionally glimpse future scenes. They have a keen intuitive premonition of danger.
Those Beyonder in this Sequence often fall into a trance-like state, murmuring words that others cannot understand, to the point that they are mistaken for real Monster.
The corresponding Sequence 8 is " Robot ". Beyonder will gain terrifying computing power and precise control, and all aspects of their physical attributes will be significantly enhanced, making them gifted individuals in fields such as combat and shooting.
At the same time, they also possessed the ability to Divination and counter -Divination.
Sequence 7 is called " Lucky One " or " Bravehearts ". Beyonder at this level often encounter things in their daily lives such as finding money on the street, tracing the outline of a human body, rolling dice as expected, and the girl they like happens to like them back. However, they cannot control these things and are passive. Moreover, this kind of luck is not fixed and fluctuates. Sometimes it is particularly strong, and sometimes it is like an ordinary person. Therefore, it is difficult to rely on it completely and one must try to exercise restraint.
Sequence 6 is the " Calamity Priest." On one hand, Beyonder will passively encounter various calamities, but these are predictable, allowing them to prepare in advance and find ways to eliminate or mitigate their effects. On the other hand, they can actively attract calamities of varying degrees, affecting their targets or enemies. They themselves rely on their "special talent" in luck to avoid most dangers and launch attacks amidst the chaos. Simply put, they can pull their opponents into environments where they can best utilize their own advantages.
Of course, many " Calamity Priest " can also make full use of the dangers they passively encounter to strike their enemies.
At the same time, the " Calamity Priest " can also create a " Mind Storm," relying on its Spirituality, which is superior to other methods, to directly affect the opponent's Spirit Body, causing a certain degree of dizziness or mental confusion. If the " Calamity Priest's" enemy enters the latter state, it will be very easy to make mistakes, allowing the calamity to snowball until it devours him.
By the time one reaches Sequence 5, the " Winner," the Beyonder can, to some extent, control their own luck. They can accumulate a great deal of "luck" through their own self-discipline, and dramatically avert fatal crises multiple times at crucial moments. They can also occasionally encounter extremely rare good things in their daily lives. For example, due to someone else's mistake, they inexplicably inherit a fortune; for example, due to their strange walking posture or other comical reasons, they attract the attention of an outstanding member of the opposite sex; for example, the enemy they are chasing gets lost or makes Error judgment.
At this level, those with Beyonder in the " Fate " pathway possess a very high level of intuition and premonition, making them experts in both Divination and counter -Divination.
In addition, they can inflict limited Misfortune on the enemy, making the target more unlucky.
" Those Beyonder who follow the ' Monster ' pathway are truly extreme. Aside from Spirituality and Fate- related abilities, they possess almost no other extraordinary abilities. Even their physical attributes and computational abilities are only provided by the ' Robot ' stage, with very limited improvement afterward... This is practically the standard charlatan I imagined, lacking any offensive or defensive capabilities, relying entirely on intuition, premonitions, and the favor of Fate to survive..."
"I have to say, this is the most unique of the twenty-two Beyonder Pathway. I can find or guess what the similar paths are for the rest, but only ' Monster ' seems so out of place, all alone... Perhaps, Beyonder Pathway based on Fate are destined to be lonely?" Klein sighed to himself, having some ideas about how to use his own Marionette.
Of course, he also needed to go above the Gray Fog to Divination to see if the passive "luck" and "misfortune" still existed after the Beyonder had actually died.
If it exists, Klein will have to face the test of "disaster" from time to time.
"Comparatively speaking, the ' Admiral of Blood ' Senor Marionette still better. People always learn to cherish and regret only after they've lost something." Klein shook his head self-deprecatingly, considering the characteristics of the " Monster " pathway, and came up with several effective ways to deal with their Low-Sequence Beyonder:
First, they are caught off guard and directly confronted with him, causing them to suffer both mental "baptism" and physical harm from staring directly at the Gray Fog or other images, leading them to lose control;
Secondly, special items are thrown out to test " Monster " who can see things they shouldn't see and hear things they shouldn't hear. In this regard, Klein has a blood crystal derived from a high-level Devil that can be used. " The Myrmidon's Aura."
Third, he would lure them into bringing him Misfortune, then feign bad luck and seize the opportunity to retaliate.
Lost in thought, Klein had his Marionette empty its pockets and take out 35 pounds 10 Soli 7 pence in cash and a wallet.
The wallet had a flower embroidered on the front and a name embroidered on the inside, suggesting it was entirely handmade.
" Enzo... whether it's your name or not, you're called Enzo now." Klein glanced at the Marionette to the side, his gaze then falling to the platinum ring with an emerald inlaid on the puppet's right hand.
After " Divination," he learned that the ring was called " Viridescent," and its effect was very simple: to treat various minor illnesses and injuries.
For this reason, its negative impact is also minimal, amounting to nothing more than attracting mosquitoes.
"Luckily, it wasn't me wearing it... Hmm, it seems that Beyonder follow the ' Monster ' pathway rarely wear magical items. Even if they do, it's usually only one or two low-level ones. Is this a requirement of Fate?" Klein thoughtfully withdrew his gaze and looked at the Marionette Enzo, who was staring at the wall. An impulse within him grew stronger and stronger:
He wanted to use the eyes of this " Monster " Marionette to see himself, to find out what special qualities the puppet could see in him!
"Wouldn't this be extremely dangerous? Even if I saw it myself, I might lose control? No, when Admisol from Tingen City looked directly at me before I was even at Sequence 9, his eyes only bled and he was in pain for a while..."
"Although I have improved greatly now, when ' Winner ' Enzo saw me just now, he didn't immediately collapse. His reaction was somewhat similar to when I encountered the Mythical Creature Form of ' Witch of Despair ' Panatiya..."
"Go above the Gray Fog to do Divination? No, that involves the Gray Fog itself, and the result will definitely be affected... How about trying it in the real world using my own Divination abilities?" Klein casually took out a gold coin and let it tumble and bounce between his fingers.
After a while, the gold coin bounced up with a clang, then fell back down into Klein's palm.
