Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts

It’s not that Lucas doesn’t have a persona that can use fire attributes, but the special flame contained in the gift given by the knight has a more powerful quality, that is, once it sticks to the enemy and burns, it cannot stop burning, even as a Lucas, the controller, also has a hard time motivating it.

How should I put it? It's very Jason-like.

This claw-like shadow seems to be extremely afraid of fire and always dodges Lucas's flaming attacks.

However, the claws did not act alone. Soon a bunch of claws emerged from the surrounding shadows, and yellow-orange eyes looked directly at Lucas.

In fact, not only Lucas, but Jason and Hope downstairs were also attacked by claws.

"So you are the claws." Hope summoned his persona and squinted at the claws surrounding him.

Hope's Versetti is a persona with balanced offense and defense. It has both healing and lethality, but it's just inferior to others who can do more damage.

"Don't worry, Hood, I'll protect you," Hope said.

Jason had already drawn his gun and fell silent as he looked at Hope's small body standing in front of him.

Do I look that weak? Jason looked at his muscular body and fell into self-doubt.

"Hmph, the weak point is broken."

The claws are restrained by the fire and blessing attributes, which is a great deal for Hope, who has a blessing attribute persona. The light blade and instant death ability can be thrown away at will.

However, there are still more and more sharp claws around, and the frequency of Hope's attacks is gradually slowing down.

"I said little bird, add me in." The Great Caste Blade appeared in Jason's hand.

Jason, who had been observing for a while, discovered that these claws were not actually human, but more like the shadow demons recorded in the book, and the power of the so-called persona had something in common with magic.

Although physical "magic" is mostly more useful, Jason also knows that in some cases, orthodox magic can work.

And that is exactly the case now.

"Although I don't know the rules of this world very well, but... magic still works, right?" Jason raised an arrogant smile.

Rather than standing still and reciting spells, Jason still prefers to use his natural weapon to slash in close combat, enjoying the feeling of cutting to the flesh.

"Hey, can you..." Before Hope could finish his words, he watched in stunned silence as Jason rushed forward with a knife, slashing and slashing like a fish in water, "...?"

The flaming sword light streaked through the air, cutting the claws' pale skin smoothly.

"Oh, this ability...isn't it a persona?!" Hope exclaimed.

"Although I don't know how you obtained the ability called Persona, don't underestimate others." Jason raised the corner of his mouth and said unruly.

When the claws surrounded Jason and Hope, Lucas was distracted by one person and one bird. He was relieved when he saw that they could handle it on their own.

Lucas glanced at the flames beating restlessly in his palms, and looked indifferently at the claws lying on the ground beneath him.

He has no interest in these guys who have no self and are just tool people, but...

Lucas frowned slightly. He didn't understand why these sharp claws came out to target him at this juncture. Based on the lessons learned last time, he thought these remnants of the Court of Owls would hide like rats in the gutter. I didn't expect to meet them again in the impression space.

Wait, this is the impression space, right? Why are they here? What's the matter with this feeling of being both a shadow and an entity?

When Jason and Hope rushed to the roof to meet Lucas, they saw someone holding a knife and doing something inappropriate for children with Talon's body.

"...What are you doing?" Jason twitched the corner of his mouth and asked speechlessly.

"Let's see what they are." Lucas shook off the unknown liquid on his hand and stood up.

"Um...but there's no need to go to this point!" Hope looked at Lucas with disgust.

"No, it's very necessary." Lucas didn't care about the dirt on his hands and looked at the claws thoughtfully.

"Anything gained?" Jason asked curiously while chanting a few spells and summoning a water ball floating in the air.

"A lot of traces of transformation were found." Lucas washed his hands with the water ball summoned by Jason.

"Transformation?!" Hope opened her eyes wide.

"Yeah." Lucas nodded, "Do you remember the last shadow that appeared in reality?"

"Ah... the alien at Henshaw Hall," Hope replied.

"But...is there any connection?" he asked doubtfully.

"Although the principles are different, these man-made modifications do give the claws the characteristics of shadows." Lucas said, "You see, these claws do not disappear like the shadows."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a sharp claw twitching on the ground.

"Wow! Not... not dead?" Hope was startled.

"How's the situation over there?" Lucas looked at Jason.

"Of course there's no residue left." Jason shrugged.

His Great Caste Blade can judge and destroy evil species. These modified claws are just a gift. The claws killed by him are directly turned into fly ash.

"That's true." Lucas' eyes flickered across Jason's face, "Come and take a look at this."

He summoned the special flame again.

"This is..." Jason was stunned, and the Blade of the Great Caste also appeared in his hand.

The flames burning on it were very similar to the flames dancing in Lucas' hands, or in other words, they were exactly the same.

"How could it be..." Jason frowned, "When I obtained the Great Caste Blade, the priest said that it was a weapon born in my soul."

"You mean, there won't be a second one in the world?"

"Well...although the names are all called Great Caste Blades, in fact, everyone gets different ones." Jason explained briefly, "So, yes, it is unique."

He looked at the bloody flames dancing happily in Lucas's hands with complexity, "He actually gave this to you."

"The ability born from the soul..." Lucas was stunned for a moment and looked blankly at the flame in his hand, "In other words, his soul is still there..."

"Even if there is, it's only a small part." Jason stretched out his hand to touch the flame, but unexpectedly the flame jumped up and rushed towards Jason.

Jason opened his eyes wide in surprise and looked at the flames that rushed towards him quickly. The flames instantly submerged into his forehead, and a black and red mask appeared on Jason's face.

"This...is this a persona?" Hope said in astonishment, "Isn't this...the same as that time?"

The currently known methods of obtaining personas are nothing more than self-awakening, item awakening, and...

"You want to say it's about the same as Tim, right?" Lucas sighed.

The second-generation clown Tim finally transformed into the current persona of Tim, and the last bit of the knight's soul became part of Jason's combat power.

"He even took full advantage of himself." Lucas sighed, with unspeakable sadness in his eyes.

"What a bastard..." Jason gritted his teeth. He was about to calm down, but the knight actually held back.

"Did he say anything to you?" Lucas couldn't help but ask.

When awakening the persona, you can hear the voice of the persona. This is a rare opportunity.

"No," Jason said expressionlessly, "Nothing."

Jason's heart knot has been solved in the nightmare space, but all he lacks is an opportunity, an opportunity to learn about the persona.

In the final analysis, the persona system was originally established by world consciousness in response to world crises. If the persona can be obtained by untying the heart knot, then they will not be the only ones in the world with persona.

Lucas frowned. He used to think that obtaining the Persona was a good thing, but the closer he got to the truth, the more he felt that it was actually a kind of deal. Obtaining the Persona meant that the world's attention fell on Jason. The same goes for everyone else. If it really comes to a decisive battle, how can they stay out of it?

However, no eggs are left intact after a nest is overturned... If the main world sinks, it means that many other worlds that rely on the main world will sink into the dark universe, and then things will be bad.

Jason touched the mask on his face, and some knowledge naturally appeared in his heart.

"Phoenix." He said the name of the persona and took off the mask from his face.

A large ball of flames exploded, and the flames gradually condensed into something like an object.

"Huh? This is..."

"Very handsome," Lucas said.

I saw a fiery red motorcycle appearing under Jason, with a red bird-like pattern printed on it, raising its neck and singing loudly like the legendary phoenix.

Stroking the motorcycle under him, Jason had a complicated expression. He really liked this motorcycle, but this was another remnant of himself, and it was sitting under his own butt. This feeling was really weird.

When he thought of this, the persona couldn't be maintained, and Jason quickly put the motorcycle away.

"This way, I'm not the only vehicle..." Hope muttered.

"Jason is a persona. Your persona is not an airplane." Lucas said.

"That's right, I'm not just a vehicle!" Hope raised his head, "However, this should be the second persona that is not in humanoid form."

"Does anyone else have a motorcycle besides me?" Jason asked curiously.

"No, no, it's actually Tim." Hope said quickly.

"Xiaohong?" Jason said with a strange expression when he recalled the time in the hall, "You mean the monocle on his face?"

"Don't you think it's a bit ordinary?" Lucas blinked.

"I only saw him finding his way, but it fits his character," Jason said.

"Um... can you guys stop chatting?" Hope couldn't help but said, "Can you deal with those sharp claws first? I always think they will get up and hit me again."

The wounds on the claws dissected by Lucas are slowly disappearing, and they twitch from time to time. It seems that as long as they are given enough time, they can return to their original appearance. It is indeed very dangerous for ordinary people. It's a pity that the two people standing here have ways to deal with the claws.

"It's easy." Jason snapped his fingers casually, and Talon's body began to spontaneously ignite.

Lucas glanced at the old blood flame. It was completely different from when he held it in his hand. It should be said that it was indeed the original owner.

Back to the topic, Lucas is still very concerned about the time and place where these claws appear, because it is all too coincidental.

"Is this a test..." Lucas frowned and murmured.

He originally wanted to continue investigating the Court of Owls, but unexpectedly an Arkham Knight appeared behind him, so he put it aside for the time being.

Lucas must find the people from the Court of Owls, especially after seeing how the knight summoned Barbatos. He didn't think that the court had a way to summon Barbatos, but it just never came to this time.

Lucas is very serious now and is paying great attention to dealing with Barbatos. So many people have been sacrificed. He does not want the fate of those broken worlds to repeat itself in this world.

The camera in the high-rise building faithfully captured everything that just happened, and completely relayed these images to a big screen thousands of miles away.

The owl priests looked at the claws that finally turned into ashes.

"The Holy Son has been deceived by others and has become our enemy." A priest sighed.

"I have long said that God's gift cannot be useless!" Another priest seemed a little grumpy, "So what if I offered it to him in the beginning? Anyway, it won't end up like this!"

"Don't worry." The oldest priest said leisurely.

As soon as he started speaking, all the owl priests fell silent and listened to him carefully.

"I have spent a long time, don't worry too much, colleagues." The priest said, "The power of the Holy Son is indeed powerful. Only power can surpass power, and the bat god Barbatos is... He is the Lord of power, the true god of all darkness.”

"When He comes, He will reward us! The courts will rule the world!"

The priests of the Court of Owls have very strong beliefs, not only because of the magic of amber gold, but more importantly, they believe in a real god, and they long for Barbatos to come to this world.

As for the claws that were modified and sent to Lucas and Jason for testing, they were just insignificant mass products.

"If they want to see it, we will show it to them. If they want to kill it, we will give them the trophies... In this way, they will ignore the reality behind it."
