Night Raven Master

Chapter 183 Restart
The task he received from Earl Durard was to "clean up the laboratory debris left by a certain wizard".

As part of the deal, if he can clean up the place and find some clues about the builder of this laboratory, Earl Durard is willing to trade more blue blood gems.

After the castle was abandoned, at some point, the Phantom Realm and the Glory Plane were connected.

According to Yate's observations during this period, it is the initiative of the Phantom Realm.

A creature from the Phantom Realm opened a gap and came to the Glory Plane?
What the hell is that little girl?
Although Yate had some guesses, he couldn't be sure.

There were too few clues, and he didn't find any power in these five puppets.

However, it is initially determined that it is related to the children of the times.

Although Earl Durard knew it was a wizard's laboratory, he didn't seem to know anything about the Children of Time.

Or did he know?
"Son of Aurora", "Twin Sages", "Mercenary Emperor",

"Revenant Player", "Son of the Abyss", "Eye of the Night",

"Cursed Figure", "Purgatory Opera", "Song of Deep Water",

"Shepherd", "Desert Priest", "Lost Winter",

"Lady Thorn", "Queen of Blood", "Astral Traveler",

"Watcher", "Honkai Mirror", "Soul of Ingenuity",

"Daughter of the Cage", "Twisted Prophet".

There are fewer children of sorrow than the previous generation. There are twenty children of sorrow in this generation. These twenty names, the eyes of the future told him, are the names of the children of sorrow.

To be precise, the real Son of Sorrow of the previous generation has been uncertain.

No one can be sure who is the real child of sorrow, and some children of the false age are also counted among them.

So far, he only knows that the Revenant is related to Hughes, the Eye of the Night is very likely to be Art himself, and the Purgatory Opera is probably the lunatic who appeared in the small town of Susha last time.

But nothing is certain right now.

But everything is still unclear, because of the existence of "children of the false age".

For various purposes, or to conceal the smoke bombs released by the real Son of Sorrow, or it may be a product artificially created by a big man in order to participate in this sad epic, gain benefits, or something else.

Even if it is himself, it is not impossible that he is a "son of the false age" and not the real eye of evil night.

Most of this castle has been swallowed up by the Phantom Realm.

After a while, it should be completely swallowed by the phantom world, and then gradually melted in the phantom world.

The figure in the flames. And the cage
Cursed doll?The Cage Daughter?Or what shepherd?warder?Broken mirror?The soul of ingenuity?
Or a false child of the age who did not appear in the prophecy?
The three most likely are the cursed figure, the daughter of the cage, and the mirror image of the collapse.

He has seen the records left by generations of Ludi, and the trace left by the earliest one is already 70 years ago.

If the blueprints of these five dolls really existed, they would have been 70 years ago.

This discovery also completely shattered some of his previous guesses.

The time is not right.

Regardless of other connections, first look for the puppet-like little girl who pushed him into the castle and wanted to kill him with the power of the phantom world.

Under normal circumstances, even a fourth-level apocalyptic wizard, after entering the Phantom Realm, there is a high possibility of dying in the Phantom Realm.

This is why the other party is so confident, right?
Stepping forward, Art came to the previous room. The three of them, Lu Di, Captain Beard, and Koga were still in the room, rummaging around.

When they saw Yate walking in, the three of them were taken aback.

"who are you?"

Koga and the captain put their hands on the handle of the weapon, and asked vigilantly in doubt.

And Ludi also made some small movements, and the weak fluctuations of spiritual energy showed that the other party was preparing spells.

Whether it is defense or attack, or both are prepared, it is the same.

Killed hundreds of times.

After each restart, they forget about Art and treat him like a stranger.

He also tried to talk to these people, entered the role of companion many times, and assisted Ludi to escape from the castle, but it was of no use. The moment he left the castle, Ludi would "die" and become Muppet.

Another situation is that, based on twelve, the characteristics will repeat.

It can probably be confirmed that their range of activities is within the castle.

etc.
There is a strange place -

He has been looking for commonalities and differences between each restart, but overlooked one thing -

The first time, that is, the time he came to the castle first, the shadow crow found a group of mercenaries approaching the castle. At that time they were still
Art frowned. If leaving the castle would turn him into a puppet, then the few people who entered the castle at that time were not "Captain", "Rudy", "Cira", "Dickoli", " Koga"?

When did the change occur?

Just watch it again.

He raised his head and looked at the three of them: "Although I'm sorry, please die again."

"What!? Die again!? What are you talking about!?" The bearded captain looked puzzled and dignified, drew his weapon and pointed it at Art.

Although they don't know who this person is, and they can't understand what the other person said, but one thing is certain, this strangely dressed young man in front of him has malicious intentions towards them.

"Koga! Ludi!" he yelled.

"Yeah." Koga nodded, staring at Art, paying attention to any of his movements.

"No matter how strong you are, as long as it is not the apocalypse! It is absolutely impossible to get out alive!"

Koga shouted, since it has been confirmed that he is the enemy, there is no need for any polite behavior, whether it is verbal provocation, as a means of interference, or using low-level means, it is fine.

Yate just pressed the brim of his hat indifferently, and it was easy to deal with five people, let alone only three.

And Yate's "doing nothing" also made Koga and Captain Beard understand that the other party did not intend to take the initiative to attack, or that the other party was preparing some powerful attack method.

Get started first!
Very tacitly, the two rushed towards Yate, one left and one right.

The long sword and short dagger were shot at the same time.

Another siege?
Yate glanced at the bearded captain, whoever swung the sword with all his strength, no matter who it was, would choose to avoid it first?
And he also turned his body slightly, making a dodging movement.

Seeing Yate's "dodging" action, the bearded captain laughed in his heart, and the feint was successful. After the opponent dodged his attack, he would attack him with a backhand, or go around behind him, letting him block Koga on the attack route.

No matter what the reaction is, just make a sweep, and Koga and Ludi will follow.
A reaction instantly appeared in his mind.

The moves that have been used many times have almost become subconscious behaviors.

However, inadvertently, he noticed that the other party's emotionless and indifferent eyes seemed to have seen through his actions.

how come--

The next moment, he saw the other party stretch out his left hand, and the white silk glove was facing him.

Spell props! ?
"Ludy!"

Subconsciously, he called out.

A light brown crystal shield appeared in front of him.

But
A giant pale black hand protruded from the air, grabbing the bearded captain and the spiritual shield directly. Without hesitation, Yate turned his left hand into a fist and made a fisting motion.

"what!!!"

Kaka-

Mixed with the screams were the shattering of bones and spiritual shields.

"team leader!?"

The voices of Koga and Ludi sounded at the same time, and with the roar of worry, Koga's dagger struck from Yate's waist.

Snapped--

The right hand holding the black iron cane waved from bottom to top, but was blocked by the cane wrapped in the dark spiritual energy, and a hard and sharp blade was added, directly cutting off Koga's short dagger. A light black slash was drawn between the necks.

Slightly to one side of the body, Koga's broken body fell on the ground behind Yate, and the sharp stone thorns protruding from the ground pierced the upper half of Koga's body.

After the shield was broken, Ludi had already prepared another spell when the attack was launched, but he didn't have time——

In a blink of an eye, Art had already appeared in front of Ludi.

"hateful!"

Gritting his teeth tightly, a ring lit up on the middle finger of his right hand clenched into a fist. The next moment, a terrifying golden ray shot out from the ring and shot at the chest of Yate, who was close at hand.

However, layers of light black shields with feather patterns appeared in front of the ray, blocking the ray.

When the golden rays reached the last floor and were about to penetrate, they dissipated completely, and the power of the spell was exhausted.

And the shield was pierced, leaving only a thin layer, thinner than paper.

Before Ludi could react, he felt a sharp pain from all over his body.

The unbearable pain made him involuntarily want to cover the wound, and his eyes moved down accordingly.

And the scene on the ground made his eyes widen involuntarily——

The ground of the entire room, at some point, has become pitch black, there is no object to block it, but it is covered with shadows.

And in the shadows—

Countless pairs of eyes suddenly opened and looked at him at the same time.

"This is."

And the psionic energy in Yate's spiritual sea has been fully charged——

[Hand of Darkness lv1: Form a black shadow and perform a powerful physical crushing attack on the subject. ——"Sophisticated structure, rough use"]

A pitch-black giant hand emerged from above his head and fell heavily, hitting his whole body on the ground, turning him into a pool of scarlet mud mixed with flesh and bones.

Seeing the three puppet corpses whose flesh and blood gradually turned into cotton, Art turned and left without any hesitation.

The shadow that occupied the entire room leaped from the ground and entered the shadow of the gap in his clothes.
