Part 4 The Undead Chapter 196 – Misdirection
By this moment, Klein had roughly understood what was going on:
Based on the law of convergence of extraordinary characteristics, he had just entered the outer layer of Calderon, where there were no normal undead, and was targeted by this spirit predator, who firstly moved the golden disc of unknown origin to the side of the prophecy’s travel route, so that he could see it through the secret puppet, and thus shifted his attention to Calderon’s transformation of the living things, and then used the Giant Blacksmith, who was not a part of his soul, to paralyze himself further, and finally sneaked into the manipulation area, and “struck” a blow. Then he paralyzed himself even further with the help of the giant blacksmith, who was not a part of him, and finally sneaked into the manipulation range, and “struck” a blow.
”If I hadn’t seen the dead hanging like wind chimes in the chapel, and hadn’t instinctively feared the high order of the ‘Diviner’s’ way, and had prepared several ways to interrupt the control on my own unaided, I would have become a spirit world predator’s part-spirit just now… …
”Really, before coming in, I should have thought of the law of extraordinary characteristic aggregation …… After taking the ‘Scepter of Poseidon’, even with the ‘Tyrant’ card suppression, I was still a bit reckless and missed such an important detail ……
”On the surface, I am indeed as cautious as ever, but in reality, I have already become reckless without realizing it, and I don’t even think so ……” In the midst of his thoughts, Klein once again raised his arm that was holding the Scepter of White Bone, and wanted to continue to use the “Lightning Storm”. “Lightning Storm” as a ranged attack.
If once is not enough, then twice, if twice is not enough, then three times, in short, seize this opportunity, do not let the spirit world predator escape from the fire coverage!
This is the safest way, and also the most respected fighting style of Klein, if not for the fact that lightning strikes have been weakened a lot in the city of Calderon, he suspected that he could go and pick up the extraordinary characteristics right now.
And having digested most of the Sequence 5 magic potions he still had enough spirituality to last a while!
At this moment, the “invisible man” in translucent white robes burst into pale flames, and a few hundred meters away, the same stream of flames leapt into the air.
The Spirit World Predator used its “Flame Jump”, which was much more powerful than Klein’s, to instantly open up the distance!
At the same time, in the pile of rubble where it was hiding, a four-meter tall greenish-black giant stood up shakily.
The giant’s chest and abdomen were open, and its internal organs could no longer be seen, but it was like a big mountain and a fortress, straddling between the Tyrant and the Spirit World Predator, blocking all the lines of sight.
In Klein’s eyes, the other party’s “spiritual threads” gathered together and extended to the distant spiritual predator, which belonged to the split souls at a glance.
At the top of the “Scepter of Neptune”, a greenish-blue jewel lit up, and several lightning bolts leaped out of the air, twisted into bundles, and transformed into silver-white arrows, instantly hitting the head of the green-black giant.
All the invisible defenses shattered like paper, the giant’s head crumbled and turned into countless pieces of burnt flesh splattering all around, and the pale gas tinged with a little bit of shadowy green evaporated and dissipated inside his headless body, taking away all the vitality.
All of this was just the work of a blink of an eye, wearing a triple crown and papal vestments, Klein raised the white bone scepter in his hand even higher.
Circle after circle of greenish-blue light swung away, and the whimpering wind blew his cloak.
In a large portion of the outer region of Calderon, dark clouds rapidly converged and cascaded down, making the place seem even dimmer and more oppressive.
Snap!
One after another, soybean-sized raindrops hit the ground, splashing up the little dust that had accumulated over time.
Wow!
The raindrops grew sharper and more numerous, forming a torrential downpour that could be called a disaster.
That rainwater doused a clump of pale flames, gathering into a stream that surged all the way down, straight to the lowest point of the entire city, straight to the end of that deep pit in the ground.
In such weather, Klein’s “Flame Jump” was nullified, and so was the Spirit Ravager’s. But the Tyrant’s “Flame Jump” was not as effective as the Tyrant’s!
However, in the case of the “tyrant”, the spirit spread outward through the dark clouds, as if incarnated as a god looking down on the earth.
Every cloud, every drop of rain became Kraven’s eyes, allowing him to easily locate the spiritual predator in the area where the sky had changed.
This “invisible man” wearing translucent white robes was currently hiding behind a broken pale pillar, and had not moved away from the outer area to enter the core area.
Rumble!
A thunderous roar was deafening, and a streak of lightning intertwined into a silver-white beam of light, rushing out from within the dark clouds and shooting towards the Spirit Realm Predator.
Relying on his strong spiritual premonition, the “invisible man” was half a second ahead of him and dug into the ground.
One, two, three, thick silver-white beams of light densely struck the area, causing the soil to dissolve and sink downward, creating charred craters.
The Spirit Realm Marauder emerged from the other side, busily leaping towards other hiding places, sometimes to the right, sometimes to the left, like a snake swimming.
However, no matter where it fled to, the silver-white lightning beams always managed to catch up with it, and even had the intention of making a blockage in advance, allowing it to leave the area of the rainstorm to be miserably dashed.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
The “deity” in the dark clouds looking down on the spirit world predator was like a “tyrant”, wielding a silver-white scepter, striking the target again and again, almost succeeding several times.
Kraven became more and more anxious to end the hunt immediately, so he unreservedly urged the “Scepter of Poseidon”, so that the lightning strikes fell more and more frequently.
Suddenly, he felt an intense fatigue.
This made Kraven wake up and realized that something was wrong:
The Spirit World Marauder clearly had the chance to retreat into the lower regions of Calderon at the very beginning, so why was it still stranded nearby?
It is a spirit creature, it has no entity, it can burrow into the ground, avoid lightning, avoid the Tyrant’s gaze, why does it still come out and circle around from time to time?
It was luring me to attack. It sensed from my “spiritual thread” and the details of my manipulation of the secret puppets that my level had not yet reached that of a demigod, and wanted to consume my spirituality! Klein was shocked, and combined with his first encounter, he truly realized that the Spirit World Predator was an intelligent and cunning creature.
At the same time, he also thought of a problem:
Would the “lightning storm” and the dark clouds and rain just now attract the attention of dangerous existences in the core area of Calderon City?
It is really too reckless, always ignore the key details …… thoughts flashing, Klein retrieved the “Scepter of Neptune”.
The majestic rain stopped, the dark clouds in the sky quickly dispersed, and the surrounding weather returned to normal.
Klein also let the secret puppet Enzo holding the “words of the sea” cane back to the side, and “Hell Admiral” Ludwig one left and one right to protect themselves in the inner side.
Then, the two of them walked towards the entrance area, as if they wanted to leave Calderon before they lost their spirituality.
During this process, Klein kept his “Spirit Thread” vision on to guard against the approach of the spirit predator.
He had just noticed that this creature’s “spirit body threads” were very distinctive, part of them were drilled out from the body and extended outward normally, and part of them came from the outside, and one by one, they were gathered into a thick bundle, and drilled into the semi-transparent white robes.
Klein suspected that this was the state of the spirit world predator when controlling the split soul, which was different from the “Secret Puppet Master”.
As his eyes moved, he suddenly saw an illusory black thread drilling out of a collapsed house, part of which had gathered into a thick bundle, the source of which appeared to be in the distance.
Without hesitation, Klein raised the “Scepter of Poseidon” in his hand, creating a huge thunderclap out of thin air.
Rumble!
In this sound that shocked the heart and soul, “Admiral of Hell” Ludwig violently raised his left hand.
Half of his body became illusory, and his arm and little arm extended infinitely, grasping at the collapsed house.
On the way, his palm became abnormally pale, and an illusory face protruded, spitting out a tongue that looked like a serpent’s letter, its surface covered with white hair.
This tongue immediately leaped out a long way, through the wall, into the place where the “spirit body threads” converged, and directly sucked out a distorted and blurred soul.
Around the soul, part of the “spirit body threads” abruptly disappeared, as if they had never existed.
This part was exactly the ones that had gathered into a thick bundle and came from afar!
They were fake!
The spirit world predator was able to create false “spirit threads” or instantly switch the positions of the split souls and the main soul!
Kraven turned his head and looked elsewhere, and saw a polymer of “spirit threads” coming from the ground at high speed.
He used the Scepter of Poseidon once again, and the thunder that could shock the spirits exploded against the ground.
At the same time, Enzo “The Winner” used some of his remaining luck to attach bad luck to his target, and caused a silver-white lightning bolt to erupt from the tip of his “Word of the Sea” cane.
The lightning was lucky enough to pass through a gap, enter the ground, and strike the attacker directly, causing some of the “spirit threads” to disappear on the spot.
This was also a fake!
Just as Klein reacted, his thoughts were already stagnant and his body was paralyzed.
Just as his mouth opened with difficulty, as if he was about to command a magical item, the “invisible man” in translucent robes suddenly descended from the sky and landed in front of him.
The Spirit World Predator had actually been hiding high in the sky just now, using the gray clouds to cover him up!
As soon as this “invisible man” appeared, one transparent worm after another crawled out from the collar where the head was not visible, and the surface was covered with strange patterns.
Klein only took one look at it, and his mind exploded, and although he was free from the control of the “spiritual threads”, he completely lost the ability to think.
Under the shadow of his triple crown, a bud of flesh protruded from his face, each of which was slightly transparent, as if it were a small, wriggling worm.
If it wasn’t for the support of the “Tyrant” tablet, he would have fallen to the ground in agony, rolling and struggling.
The spirit world predator even had a certain mythical creature form!
At this time, the “invisible man” inside the white robe really took control of Kraven’s “spiritual thread” unhindered, and in a few seconds, it was already close to success.
Seeing that its prey was about to become its own soul, the Spirit World Predator suddenly saw the other party open its mouth with difficulty and spit out a word.
It had recovered from its near loss of control sooner than it expected, and that word was an ancient Hermetic word:
”Fate!”
It was the opening incantation of the Luck Stealer spell!
If Kraven really wanted to evacuate, he would have grabbed the two secret puppets, ended the summoning, and returned to the gray mist, instead of moving step by step towards the entrance of Calderon City.
He was laying a trap for the Spirit World Marauders!
The reason he was able to recover so quickly from the trauma of seeing a certain mythological creature form in time to pronounce the words was because he had already experienced far too much in this area, and because, while it was unclear what the other side would employ, there was always a response that was more foolproof, and that was to make the target unlucky.
–When Klein first went into stasis, his first reaction wasn’t to make the magical item sing, but to make Enzo the Winner consume all of his remaining luck and make the Spirit Ravager unlucky enough!
