Part 2 Faceless Man Chapter 166 – The Key Link to Magic

　　The invisible prison around Parker instantly fell apart, and there was no longer a trace of it left.

　　However, he did not regain his mobility, instead, he fell softly to the ground, constantly shivering, seemingly still in a frozen state.

　　This was not only the aftereffects of the spectral touch, but also the effects caused by Klein directly penetrating his body and harming his soul.

　　There was certainly no way for Parker, who was only Sequence 8, to recover in a short period of time, and even his breathing was uncontrollable, once again inhaling a large amount of biotoxins consistent with the kind in his body.

　　Weakened, his poison accelerated, his eyes glazed over, and he instinctively dropped away.

　　He saw Capin, who was also rolling around on the ground, constantly scratching his face and body, the silky strips of flesh that hung next to a trail of blood from the other man, and the white color of bone.

　　Puck gasped up a ragged breath and struggled to crawl over.

　　Is itching to tear off the outside layer of skin of the card Ping suddenly found Parker is red eyes creeping, heart flashed a bad feeling, but, difficult to stop scratching he simply can not have the strength to avoid, even shouted “no” can not do, can only be replaced by screams.

　　At this time, Klein, who escaped the “imprisonment”, shouted “Holy” in ancient Hermetic language, and then rubbed his fingers together, and in the flickering light of the dark golden sunbird brooch, he thumped out an air bullet.

　　As soon as the air bullet was formed, it was tinted with a holy luster and headed straight for Heras’ face.

　　This was the “Sacred Pledge” provided by the “Sun Brooch”, and Klein had added sacred damage!

　　Herras had already changed his position, and his movements were incredibly agile, not like a mage, but like a fighting expert.

　　While dodging Klein’s air bullets, he signaled Katie to swing her whip and wrap it around her opponent.

　　Waiting until Klein’s attacks were interrupted and no longer continuous, he took out an iron black metal glove from his concealed pocket and tried to put it on his left hand.

　　In his spirit state, even if he was side-on to Heras, Klein didn’t need to look out of the corner of his eye in order to see this scene, and he instantly flew up, avoiding Katie’s swipe, skimming over the top of the chandelier, and pouncing on Heras.

　　Seeing this scene, Heras took his iron black metal glove and pointed it diagonally upwards and said:

　　”Exile!”

　　Klein was met with a majestic and invisible force, and his entire spiritual body was blown away, hitting the wall and the invisible wall brought about by the “confinement”, but not penetrating away.

　　Seizing this opportunity, Heras put on the iron-black metal glove.

　　In an instant, he seemed a little taller, as majestic as a big man who could dominate other people’s lives.

　　Kraven, who had just been released from the state of “exile”, felt a great and unexplained fear, and couldn’t help but want to bow down, want to prostrate himself, want to listen to every word of the other party, and follow his every order!

　　His movements became rather slow, and in his pupils was the fast approaching lady Katie.

　　Snap!

　　Katie swung her long black whip and accurately smacked Klein.

　　The long whip passed through the spirit body, but it caused considerable pain to Kline’s spirit, like being pressed against the most vulnerable part with a red-hot iron.

　　He jerked his head up and let out a scream.

　　And the revolver in Katie’s other hand snapped with it.

　　Bang! Bang!

　　Two bullets with a light golden glow shot out one after another, hitting Klein’s body.

　　Bright, clean light rose up, and the figure in black armor quickly thinned into a paper figure and quickly burned to ashes.

　　Kraven appeared in a dark corner, and the “sun brooch” inside his spirit glowed with a dark golden color.

　　Warm power instantly filled his body, and the extreme fear brought by Heras quickly disappeared.

　　One of the effects of the “Sun Brooch” class spell was “Immunity to Fear”!

　　In just a few dozen seconds of fighting, Klein had already been forced to use his paper man double twice.

　　Although this was intentional, it was also a testament to the strength of Herras and Kitty’s joint efforts, which confirmed the results of Klein’s earlier divination:

　　This operation was quite dangerous!

　　If Parker hadn’t been temporarily nullified under the effects of the biotoxin vials and his initial surprise attack, the situation would have been even more sinister.

　　And his predetermined plan was to sensibly give up if all four paper figures he had prepared were used up and the opportunity hadn’t arisen yet – it wasn’t that Klein didn’t want to prepare more substitutes, but his aura could only afford four of them on top of the battle.

　　As for the “confinement” effect created by Heras, Klein is not worried at all, he is now a “summoned” spirit, as long as the “summoning” is over, he can immediately return to the gray mist! As long as the “summoning” is over, he can return to the gray mist immediately. If not interfered by the power of a deity or some special “0” or “1” level seals, there is no way to interrupt this process.

　　When Klein stole the “Black Emperor” card from the Kingdom Museum, the woman who was suspected to be a high-ranking powerhouse was unable to stop him from leaving.

　　This was the main reason and the biggest reason why Klein dared to try to help and challenge the impossible, even though he knew that the danger was quite high!

　　Seeing that his enemy was no longer afraid, Herras, who had put on his iron-black metal gloves, once again signaled Katie to stop Klein, while he himself pointed his finger ahead and spoke solemnly:

　　”Ghosts and spirits are forbidden here!”

　　Klein’s body covered with black armor immediately shook, being strongly repelled by an invisible force.

　　However, the extremely high rank of the “Black Emperor” card allowed the spirit body to be of a relatively high level, and the effect of this direct targeting of existence was quickly suppressed.

　　Herath’s eyes narrowed, thinking that the incoming apparition was very strange.

　　Seeing that Klein had easily escaped Katie’s entanglements through flight, he pushed his palm forward again and announced in ancient Hermetic:

　　”Flying and floating are prohibited here.”

　　In a flash, Klein felt only a weight on his body, and fell straight from mid-air to the ground, as Katie stomped and hurried over, and flicked her wrist, snapping the whip that tortured the spirit and soul.

　　She still had a number of extraordinary bullets on her, but fewer than three were left for targeting ghostly grudges, so she forgoes the use of her revolver for the moment, relying only on her secondary weapon.

　　Klein skillfully regrouped and rolled on the ground, deftly dodging Katie’s swipe and hearing the crunch of the whip hitting the ground.

　　Katie was about to sweep the long whip across the room when her throat suddenly tickled and she coughed twice, missing the chance for a continuous attack.

　　It was a symptom of the toxin she had been hit with!

　　Herras gasped and held his breath again, folding his wrist back and pointing it straight at his own channel:

　　”Discipline target: spiteful spirits and ghosts!”

　　A morning glow suddenly appeared on the surface of his body, and even the top of his fist shimmered with a bright, clean color.

　　Stomp!

　　The marble under Heras’s feet cracked noiselessly, and his tall and thin body swooped out swiftly and ferociously, bullying his way into Klein’s near front in a single moment.

　　At this time, he was more like a knight than Katie!

　　Bang! He blasted his fist forward, the air exploding with a loud bang, but it was dodged by Klein who withdrew his steps in advance and swung back with the wind.

　　POW! Katie assisted from the sidelines, swinging her whip and lashing at her foe’s evasive position.

　　This forced Klein to roll again, taking a fighting stance and keeping his eyes peeled to avoid Herras’ “imprisonment” spells.

　　Bang, bang, bang, pop, pop, Heras continuous strong attack, Katie from the side of the assistance, only used less than two minutes, will be forced to Klein to dodge, can not avoid the situation, even rolling is difficult to have a role to play.

　　Snap!

　　Katie’s black whip came head-on, and Klein only had time to take a diagonal step before he was hit in the arm.

　　The pain that pierced right through his spirit struck his soul again, causing him to freeze in place, his spirit body thinning.

　　Seizing this opportunity, Heras clenched his left fist and pronounced a majestic sentence:

　　”Death!”

　　His body whirled and united with some strange power, dragging out an obvious residual shadow and slamming into Klein’s body at once.

　　Stabbing!

　　The figure covered in black armor instantly split apart and turned into butterfly-like fluttering shredded paper.

　　Klein used up the third paper figure!

　　Heras swept his gaze, quickly locking onto the enemy that had surfaced in the corner and sneered:

　　”I’ll see how many more doubles you have!”

　　In the process of searching for the enemy just now, he had already realized that Puck was writhing on top of Karpin in a bloody and disgusting scene that was both unbearable and brutally frightening.

　　However, Herras couldn’t care about rescuing that subordinate, he knew very well that his poisoning would get deeper and deeper, and he had to finish off the enemy as soon as possible, so he couldn’t be distracted.

　　If not, he might exit the restaurant first, easing the poison, thus allowing the enemy to escape smoothly without getting a bit of useful information.

　　He once again signaled Katie to come forward and entangle Klein, who couldn’t fly or float, while he himself took a breath and slowed down a bit.

　　”There’s a bit of a strange odor in the air …… this should be a sign of the toxin getting more and more abundant ……” Heras thought flashed and didn’t bother to think about it.

　　He raised his left palm and solemnly declared:

　　”Trespassing is a crime!”

　　”Trespassing ……”

　　Repeating it a second time, Herras’ breathing got a little harder again, and briefly actually failed to catch his breath, so he had to interrupt to stop.

　　He took another deep breath and adjusted himself, then spoke again:

　　”Trespassing is a crime!”

　　He repeated it three times in a row, while Klein, who had never been able to get away from Katie’s entanglement, inexplicably got a bit of a chill.

　　”Cough cough cough!”

　　Katie reproduced the symptoms of coughing, and the movement of swinging the whip slowed down with it.

　　Klein took the opportunity to get rid of her entanglement but couldn’t be bothered to attack her, instead he raised his head, opened his mouth, and let out a shrill whistle inaudible to humans!

　　Buzz! Katie’s head shot up and her body shook, feeling the ground heave.

　　Heras recovered with only a slight dizziness, and he looked coldly at Klein and spoke out majestically:

　　”The guilty shall be restrained!”

　　Crane, who had been about to pounce on him, suddenly realized that his feet seemed to be shackled with invisible shackles, and his movements became rigid for a moment.

　　Slowly Katie opened the pistol’s revolver and quickly retired the previously used cartridges and unused bullets.

　　She then pulled out a speed loader and stuffed six rounds, including the remaining purged bullets, into the chamber.

　　Heras then clenched his left fist and began to brew an attack.

　　He was going to form a ladder with Katie’s shots, making sure to either finish off the enemy completely or exhaust his double.

　　It was at this time that Klein, who was covered in black armor, revealed a smile.

　　Because the time he was waiting for had come!

　　He knew that for the “Biotoxin Bottle” to work well, it needed a certain amount of time, and the extraordinary people would be able to sense something wrong at the first sign, and act accordingly, or look for hidden enemies, or get out of the toxin-filled environment, so it would be difficult to hit them hard, or even finish them off, so he used the “Biotoxin Bottle” with the aim of killing them off. Therefore, he used the “Biotoxin Bottle” for two other purposes:

　　One was to weaken the enemy;

　　The second was to cover up some of the smells, so that Herras and the others would attribute all the unusual smells to the toxins in the air, so that they would focus their extra attention entirely on this aspect.

　　This is the most important part of this “magic show”, and it is also the key to success or failure.

　　The unusual smell, the smell of gas! It was the smell of gas!

　　The reason why Klein made the gas lamps and the fire in the fireplace instantly light up and then go out was not only to interfere with Herras’ vision, but also to attract their attention, so that he could destroy the gas pipes in several hidden locations!

　　He purposely fell into a perilous situation at the very beginning, in order to trick Katie into shooting bullets targeting the Grieving Ghost, so that she would subsequently stop shooting blindly without triggering the corresponding changes!

　　He consistently tangled with the other side, making no other attempts, in order to wait for the air to fill with gas!

　　Therefore, he has been patient and did not use the “flame jump”, did not use “manipulate the flame”!

　　As for Herras’s act of confining the room, he had expected it, but had not thought it would go so smoothly, so, before he entered the dining room, he had kindly checked whether the doors and windows were closed, and had destroyed the gas pipes in the hall’s hidden position, so that a big “bomb” was formed inside and outside, and even if it had not been “confined”, it would have ended up being “confined”, but not “confined”. The fact that it was not “closed” ultimately did not affect anything!

　　As a “ghost”, Klein himself was undoubtedly not afraid of explosions!

　　Low-level ghosts would be burned out by the flames, but “ghosts” would be injured at most, which was the reason why Klein had to buy additional purification bullets and sun brooches when he was clearly able to manipulate the flames.

　　Seeing Katie lifting the revolver, about to shoot, and seeing Herras about to pronounce himself “dead”, Klein smiled slightly and snapped his fingers.

　　Herras was suddenly startled and had a premonition of danger.

　　But by this time, he had already seen a flame light up in the fireplace to his side and violently ignite the air around him.

　　Boom!

　　With a loud bang, Herath’s eyes were completely occupied by the flames that instantly filled the room, as if he had seen a grand fireworks display.
