They all call me master

The sword energy is pale and sharp.

The death energy is filled and breaks through the earth.

Not only was the ground under Arthur's feet cut, but the six layers of defense deployed there were also shattered at a touch, without any defensive effect at all.

In fact, the sword energy that Arthur raised his hand to wave became sharper and more powerful.

because--

These six layers of defense are all constructed of death energy.

When Arthur releases [Breath of Death], these defenses basically don't exist.

All sucked by Arthur.

Then, it was filled with [Death Qi Slash].

Buzz!

The unique brilliance disappeared in a flash.

Holden is dead.

But not all died.

A translucent soul floated out of the body that was split in two.

Standing on the ground, Arthur looked down.

The young 'psychic medium''s eyes scanned everything in his field of vision through the slit cut by himself with great interest——

The 10-centimeter-wide ritual rail is painted on the dark soil with blood mixed with heart flesh, forming a sharp-angled triangle with two opposite corners, one large and one small. A scarlet ritual rail goes straight up about 3 meters from the intersection of the two corners. , then began to branch, and the two ritual rails became diagonally upward. After continuing for about 1 meter, they came to the end and the ritual rails connected two circles of the same size and a radius of about 50 cm.

From Arthur's point of view, among the acute-angled triangles of different sizes, the smaller one has a cervical vertebra connected to the head, which is very fresh. The blood has long been washed away, but the brain marrow and tissue fluid are slowly flowing. Inside there are seven pairs of eyeballs, with the eyeballs facing each other.

Two circles of the same size are placed...

Goat horns smeared with ashes!

For Arthur, who has extensive experience, the ashes are quite easy to identify.

The position where Holden originally stood was where the ritual track branched upward.

But as the sword energy fell, the body split into two formed a strange shape with the two upward ritual rails.

Arthur easily controlled the intensity of [Death Slash] and did not damage the ritual on the ground. Therefore, Holden was not completely dead. In [Spiritual] perception, Arthur could clearly sense that Holden's ghost was relying on it. Power emerges from ritual.

A clearer perception is...

own hunger.

Arthur's bloodline [Snake of Death. Thin. Fragmented] creates a feeling of 'hunger' in the body.

It's like being hungry and suddenly smelling stew.

fragrant!

So delicious!

It's so fragrant that it makes people drool!

Because of this, Arthur did not destroy the ritual on earth.

This ritual worked for him.

And Holden in ghost state?

it a accident.

Therefore, Arthur raised his hand and was ready to destroy the opponent.

Holden's perception in the ghost state became more and more acute. When Arthur had murderous intent in his heart, the member of the 'Dead Poets Society' immediately shouted.

"Wait, Sir Kratos.

Why do you call me little sparrow? "

The other party delayed time again.

Arthur smiled.

Because the rituals on earth are getting more and more fragrant.

It seems that because of the existence of Horton's ghost, the ritual on the ground is running in some unknown state.

‘Grudge ritual?

Can ghosts also complete it?

still……

Was it originally prepared for ghosts? ’

Everyone has a soul, but after death, the souls of most ordinary people will fall into a state of confusion and go to the 'resting place'.

Only souls who have been in contact with the 'mysterious side' have the opportunity to become ghosts and stay in the world.

And the chance of this becoming a 'ghost' is not high.

About one in a thousand or so.

Such a chance was directly hit by Holden, and Arthur didn't believe anything he said.

As a result, Arthur began to doubt the nature of the grudge ritual.

However, the speculation in his heart did not affect Arthur's words.

"Give me control of those two puppets - I believe in fairness, so you give me two puppets and I answer you a question. This is fair, right?"

Before Holden was completely dead, the two human puppets remained in their original state.

For Arthur, the two human puppets were the original targets.

Even with an unexpected discovery, Arthur will never forget his original goal.

People must never forget their original intentions!

Facing Arthur, who has never forgotten his original intention, and Holden, who is in a ghost state, ripples immediately appear on the illusory figure, making his body become distorted.

Obviously, Holden was extremely angry at this moment.

But this member of the ‘Dead Poets Society’ still kept a smile on his face and said in an almost groveling manner——

"certainly!

That's fair! "

Holden said, and controlled the [Delicate Human Puppet] to come to Arthur and shrink back into the puppet form.

Then, a prop fell down.

It was a thin mask.

[Name: The Hidden Face]

[Type: other types of items]

[Quality: Hero]

[Attributes: 1, disguise; 2, concealment; 3, dark perception]

[Note: This is the masterpiece of Carmen, the most brilliant thief of the Silver Age, after he went bald in middle age. Carmen, who possesses extraordinary talent and intelligence, has made great progress in alchemy, but he is not willing to lose his use because of his bald head.' He had the ability to open locks, so he made this mask. He hoped that he could have ever-changing looks and beautiful hair, and then... he was half successful - his appearance could be ever-changing, but the top of his head was still bald. . 】

…

[Disguise: You can record 3 faces you have seen. When you wear the mask, you will have such an appearance. 】

[Shielding: This mask has the function of shielding perception, which will increase your hiding and stealth correction levels by +1]

[Dark Perception: When you wear the mask at night, you will gain extraordinary perception with a radius of 30 meters. Within this range, your field of view will become 360° and you can see through a certain degree of darkness. Invisibility, stealth, supernatural darkness and more. 】

(Note 1: Disguise only changes the appearance, but does not change the body shape, let alone possess the opponent's power)

(Note 2: When your face is big enough and cannot be covered by the ‘covering face’, the ‘covering face’ will completely lose its effect)

…

When Arthur picked up this mask with [Hand of Nothingness], it was quite unexpected.

Not only did he accidentally encounter the props made by his ‘old friend’, the Rogue, but he was even more surprised by Holden’s cunningness.

[Delicate Human Puppet] After choosing the target to imitate a character, although you can change back to the puppet appearance again, you cannot change the determined character form.

And with the addition of the [Covering Face], there is much room for maneuver.

Arthur could even imagine that the character that Holden's [Exquisite Puppet] imitated must be the most inconspicuous kind.

Only in this way can [Exquisite Human Puppet] be able to do more things.

Thinking in his heart, Arthur picked up the [Exquisite Human Puppet] handed over by the [Hand of Nothingness] again, which was the same as the [Exquisite Human Puppet] he got before.

This filled Arthur's heart with joy.

With one more [Exquisite Human Puppet], he can do more things.

Moreover, there is another very special person.

When he thought about the performance of that person's 'advanced person', Arthur was full of expectations.

However, if you want this puppet to be 'safe' and then 'debut' smoothly, some arrangements are needed.

After all, that puppet was fighting Malinda.

His partner was not easy to fool.

Thinking of this, Arthur looked at Holden with a smile.

Holden immediately trembled all over.
