Part 5 The Red Priestess Chapter 36 The Trickster vs The Parasite
As his eyes turned to the garden, Klein’s mind naturally reflected the scene there:
In the shadowy corners covered by flowers, one after another gray-haired rats, as if bewitched by the devil, frantically circled around a place, squeaking and squealing as they tried to push aside their own kind and enter the core.
In the core area, a gray rat nearly the size of an adult Lune shorthair cat lay on its back, its eyes distinctly reddish, like congealed blood.
Its tail fluttered rapidly, as if it wanted to use it to throw out its inner mania.
And once those rats of normal size actually came close, it would reach out its claws and press down on the other side, biting them to death beside its body, so much so that corpse after corpse of rodents piled up around it, but even so, it could not stop the rest of the rats from pouring in.
Seeing this scene, Klein had two thoughts in a whirlwind:
First, the “intuitive hunch” strengthened by the power of the gray mist was really a good helper for the “Trickster” to manipulate the “Spirit Threads” because, if it was fine in the open area, it was possible to confirm at a glance which “Spirit Threads” were the most important ones. “The reason is, if you are in an open area, you can recognize at a glance which “Spirit Threads” represent your target, but if you are in a busy city or a place with many buildings, you can’t distinguish the different “Spirit Threads” that are mixed together from a long distance if you don’t have the ability to see through them. The different “spirit threads” mixed together represent each other, so it is difficult to accurately target the enemy, unless the other party is doing a more distinctive behavior, different from the others, of course, “Trickster” can not take into account the accidental injury, to carry out indiscriminate control;
Secondly, the “Stealer” pathway demigod that was parasitized in that rat was indeed on the verge of losing control, not only was its size several times larger than the one shown by the “Magic Mirror” Aroldus, but also its state was very unstable, full of tyranny and madness.
Fortunately in time, if you wait a few more weeks, there may be a tragedy …… Klein thought a flash, in front of the eyes is already floating an illusory black thin line.
At this time, the straight line distance between him and the mutant rat was less than 50 meters, so he could directly manipulate the “spiritual body line”!
At this time, the large, smooth-haired rat seemed to have sensed something and stood up violently, turning its head towards the kitchen.
A flash of light in its dark red eyes instantly stunned the young man wearing a silk bowler hat and a black suit.
It “stole” his main thoughts for the next two seconds, leaving his head almost blank, and it didn’t act accordingly like Sequence 5, “The Dream Thief”!
Immediately afterward, the rat’s right front paw lifted up in an attempt to “steal” the enemy’s extraordinary ability.
At its level, the number of extraordinary abilities that can be “stolen” from the same target has increased from one to three, and the maintenance time is up to two hours, but of course, there is only one type of “theft” at a time.
At this very moment, the giant rat’s thoughts became strangely stagnant, and the movements of its abilities seemed to be tightly entangled by an invisible thread, making it extremely slow.
It had been initially controlled by the “spiritual body thread”!
The fact that it had managed to “steal” Gelman Sparrow’s thoughts just now, causing the other party to freeze in place, was just an illusion, an illusion created by the “Trickster”!
Before formally manipulating its “psychic thread”, Klein had already switched his position with the “winner” Njoni, and since the secret puppet did not have self-awareness or thoughts, it would not be affected by the extraordinary power of “stealing thoughts”! The Secret Puppet has no self-consciousness or thoughts, so it won’t be affected by the extraordinary ability to “steal thoughts”.
How can you steal something that is not there at all?
In order to paralyze the demigod of the “Stealer” pathway, Klein used a qualitatively different illusionary ability, and deliberately made the secret puppet Enyuni, who had transformed into the form of “Germaine Sparrow”, behave accordingly.
At this moment, he was outside the Elk Manor in Macht, and the straight line distance between him and the giant rat was more than 500 meters, but this did not prevent him from manipulating the other party’s “spirit thread”, because the “Trickster” could give his own extraordinary abilities to the secret puppet, including Controlling the “spirit thread” and transforming the target into the core means of the puppet!
That is to say, if there is no other limitation, the “Trickster” can completely use the secret puppet to increase the distance of its manipulation of the “Spirit Body Thread” to an infinite distance of 150 meters, after all, as long as it is placed almost 1,000 meters away from the puppet, it can rely on the “Extraordinary Ability” to extend its influence. After all, by placing a secret puppet almost 1,000 meters away, you can rely on your extraordinary ability to extend your influence.
Of course, there are no unlimited abilities in this world, on the one hand, Klein’s current limit is 50 secret puppets as a whole, and he can’t exceed this number, on the other hand, the only thing that the “Trickster” can’t give to the secret puppets is the ability to think and self-consciousness, so the limit of controlling the secret puppets with the secret puppets is the limit of controlling the secret puppets by himself, 1km! 1 kilometer!
Once this range was exceeded, the puppet transformed by the puppet would not be able to make any movements.
In addition, the essence of the “Trickster” giving extraordinary ability to the secret puppet is to separate a worm related to the form of mythological creatures, and let it enter into the secret puppet through the “Spirit Body Thread”, and if he didn’t give the same secret puppet more than one beforehand, the secret puppet would not be able to do anything when he transforms a new secret puppet, and he would not be able to control the secret puppet. If the same puppet was not given a few more worms in advance, then when the puppet was transformed into a new puppet, it would not be able to separate out the corresponding worms, so that the new puppet could also be endowed with the extraordinary abilities of its own body.
At present, Klein could at most separate 50 worms, and exceeding this number would make his spiritual body unaffordable, and he would experience symptoms of schizophrenia, which could not be recovered unless he received effective treatment, but even if he received good treatment, he might not be able to recover, and his tendency to lose control of his body would become even more serious.
Therefore, according to Klein’s test, the limit of his current manipulation of the “spiritual body line” is 1000+150 meters, and in order for the new secret puppet to be fully controlled, it can only be within 1000 meters, at the same time, if the secret puppet dies, the characteristics of the worm in the body will return to the original body according to the law of extraordinary characteristics of the polymerization within a certain period of time, if this process is interrupted, there is a possibility of losing its identity. If this process is interrupted, it may be lost.
Just as the movements of the demigods in the way of the Stealer became sluggish, the rats that had been transformed into secret puppets rushed out of the kitchen around Njoni, the winner in the form of Germaine Sparrow, and aimed at the garden. The rats that had been transformed into secret puppets rushed out of the kitchen, aimed at the garden and opened their mouths to clean the target area with air cannonballs.
Suddenly, a dark red light brightened in the eyes of the giant rat.
In an instant, “Germaine Sparrow” appeared in a dark corner of the garden, in the middle of a rat that had been bitten to death, and the demigod of the “Stealer” pathway came into the kitchen, onto a long table with a lot of items on it.
It “stole” the place of “Germaine Sparrow”!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The air cannons of the secret mice were fired uninterruptedly, hitting the area where “Germaine Sparrow” was standing at the same time, causing dirt to splash, flowers to scatter, and blood to fly, causing the men and women in the main house of the manor to tremble violently, not understanding what was going on, and only focusing on panicking and hiding in all directions.
The entire garden had been completely plowed by the air cannon, the soil layer had been exaggeratedly thinned down so much that if not for Klein focusing his shots on that area, the manor’s main house would surely not have been spared.
As the dust settled, a rat was dead, but Germaine Sparrow stood there, untouched.
”Nyuni, the winner, had just released all the luck he had accumulated at that moment!
However, his manipulation of the giant rat’s “spiritual threads”, of which there were only so many, was interrupted, and the rat puppets were unable to intervene at all, or else they would have caused chaos and canceled each other out.
Hazel’s teacher, the demigod of the “Stealer” pathway took the opportunity to regain his freedom of movement, and then turned his body and raised his right front paw at “Germaine Sparrow”, instantly stealing the other party’s extraordinary ability to manipulate the “Spirit Thread”. He then turned his body and raised his right front paw at “Germaine Sparrow”, instantly stealing his opponent’s extraordinary ability to manipulate the “Spirit Thread”.
As a Sequence 4 Demigod, it could accurately “steal” the desired ability from the target, usually one out of three, and the more it knew, the higher the probability of success, and this time, its luck was quite good.
Of course, if the object of “theft” is of a lower level, and it has a deep grasp of the target’s situation, it can “steal” whatever it wants to “steal”.
Right front paw just put down, this “stealer” path of the demigod raised the left front paw, those mouse secret puppets then four feet soft, have fallen to the ground, difficult to turn the body.
This is a large-scale “theft”, stealing the ability to walk belonging to the rats themselves!
Immediately afterward, countless strange symbols protruded from the giant rat’s dark red eyes.
It quickly solved the “mystery” and found the location of Klein’s body.
With a flash of red light and a lift of its claws, the demigod of the “Stealer” pathway arrived in front of Kraven in a flash.
This time, it “stole” the distance between the two sides!
At this very moment, the young man with the thin and angular face in the eyes of the giant rat disappeared, and there was a gray rat in his place.
And on the surrounding trees, a worm drilled out and opened its “mouth” at the same time.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
An air cannon was fired, covering the giant rat along with the ordinary rats.
As Klein maneuvered the secret puppets in the Elk Manor, he didn’t forget to transform new ones around himself, which was the basic skill of a “Trickster”, and then he set up a simple trap with the help of the seamless interchange between his body and the secret puppets!
Dirt and dust rose high, and the giant rat parasitized by the demigod in the way of the “Stealer” was completely “drowned”.
When everything calmed down, a strong smell of blood filled the area where the pit had appeared, and there were pieces of flesh and blood of different shapes everywhere.
Dead? Klein saw the scene of the “bombing” through the eyes of the surrounding secret puppets.
However, he quickly frowned, because there was no sign of extraordinary properties analyzing out.
In the midst of his thoughts, Klein pulled out a gold coin and flicked it up with a loud bang.
As the gold coin descended, image after image emerged within his mind, all of which were revelations gained from the Astral Spirit Body.
Compared to the past, as a demigod, Klein had been able to obtain more information through this simplified form of divination!
