Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 8 Then the Joker Stopped Thinking

"He is really not affected at all? How does he do it?"

Leonard looked at Yu Jin, who was holding the box alone and not affected at all, five meters away, and felt a little bit unbelievable.

"No, it's not a big deal. It's just a Level 2 Sealed Artifact after all!"

Leonard took a deep breath. Since he had a grandfather, it was not surprising that others had some special features.

Moreover, the other party might also benefit from the effect of a special seal.

Thinking of this, Leonard set his eyes on Yu Jin's hands.

The other person wore ten completely different rings on his ten fingers.

Leonard didn't think those were just simple decorations, they might as well be disguises.

There may be one or two seals among them, and the others are just cover-ups.

"There is danger, great danger!"

Klein opened his eyes and watched the topaz pendant in his hand move clockwise, reminding him in a deep voice.

He had just done a divination, and the result told him that there was a huge danger hidden in the warehouse!
"Snapped!"

Yu Jin suddenly stopped.

"ember!"

Al Hassan's expression changed slightly and he shouted softly.

Whenever Yu Jin didn't respond, he would step forward immediately.

"fine."

Ember shook his head and cast his gaze towards the large wooden boxes stacked near the warehouse in front.

Apart from the warehouse itself, these wooden boxes are the only 'obstacles' around here.

If you approach these obstacles rashly, you will be attacked by the monsters hiding inside.

He has suffered losses in this regard more than once.

"so……"

Yu Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, and an ancient crystal staff appeared in his palm instead of the ice-blue Irithyl straight sword.

Under the gaze of everyone, he raised his staff high.

"Ding!"

Along with crisp sounds, five blue magic balls appeared in a pentagonal formation behind Ember.

And the moment these magic balls appeared, they seemed to sense something.

Quickly shot towards the large wooden boxes stacked in front!

"Tracking the Soul Crystal Block?!"

Klein completely lost his composure. How could he not know about the famous hanging ball in Dark Souls? !
Fortunately, everyone else's attention was focused on Yu Jin, who had suddenly attacked, and no one noticed Klein's expression.

suddenly
boom!
The stacked wooden boxes suddenly turned into a sea of ​​fire with a loud explosion. Several fist-sized fireballs met the five oncoming soul crystal blocks in the same manner.

But during this period, a ball of fire went in the opposite direction of the other fireballs and shot towards Klein at the edge.

"Missed?"

Klein, who was closest to him, subconsciously had this thought in his mind, but he still dodged instinctively.

boom!
The surging fireball hit the crystal block head-on, but was shattered by the crystal block the moment of contact, leaving only a few sparks.

Just as everyone's eyes were drawn to him and they nodded, a man in a black tuxedo and a half-high silk hat suddenly appeared in front of Klein!
The distance between the two sides was less than one meter!
He appeared out of thin air along with a fireball, so close that Klein could clearly see the other person's face, which was painted in red, yellow, and white paint. The bright red paint outlined the "clown"-like face with the corners of his mouth raised high!
The clown in tuxedo opened his mouth, which was outlined in bright red paint, revealing a funny and terrifying smile.

He held down his half-top hat with one hand and raised the other hand to snap his fingers at Klein.

Then, as if sensing danger, he turned his head suddenly.

The next moment, the funny smile stopped abruptly, and the expression on the painted face instantly turned into shock.

Because five dark blue crystal blocks were flying towards him rapidly at this moment.

and.

The distance between him and the crystal block was much closer than the distance between him and Klein!
boom!
With a violent explosion, Tuxedo Clown was hit by the crystal block without any surprise, and was instantly submerged by the raging explosion, which almost affected Klein beside him.

If he hadn't rolled over to avoid it in time.

However, at the same time that Tuxedo Clown was hit, his figure instantly faded and turned into an illusory shadow.

Klein was close enough, so he immediately realized that it was just a paper figure that looked very similar to the Tuxedo Clown!

Apparently, it wasn't Tuxedo Clown himself who was shot!
What about his true form?

"Small……"

Just as Klein was about to shout a warning, he saw the crystal block turn around and fly towards the burning fire the next second—

Just as if the one who was hit just now was just a paper man and not the Tuxedo Clown.

What hit the paper man was just a cluster of soul crystals.

In the burning flames, a vague human figure suddenly appeared and then quickly flashed and disappeared, appearing in the distance accompanied by a ball of flying orange-yellow flame.

This once again left the Soul Crystal Block with nothing to lose, and it crashed head-on into the burning wooden box, blasting it into pieces.

Afterwards, the fragments of wooden boxes that were hit by the explosion quickly splashed around with flames.

The figure of the clown in a tuxedo also appeared on one of the flames far away from the crowd. The funny smile on his face was still high, as if he was mocking them for doing useless work.

however.

There are far more than just Yu Jin here.

As early as when Tuxedo Clown moved twice, others had already seen some clues -

The opponent can move quickly between the flames.

So when his figure appeared, the black-haired lady Lorota, who had been waiting leisurely for a long time, took a sideways step with a boxing step, raised her arm and swung her fist, hitting the Tuxedo Clown in the face.

boom!
The Tuxedo Clown became illusory again, transforming into a paper figure burning in flames.

At the same time, his figure appeared above another ball of fire.

Ping ping ping ping!

Dunn and Al reacted quickly, each raising their guns and pulling the trigger in the direction of the Tuxedo Clown.

However, the figure of Tuxedo Clown appeared above another ball of fire at a faster speed, causing all their shots to miss the target.

Klein's heart sank.

Just now, the soul crystal block blew up the debris of the burning wooden box, leaving the opponent with no place to hide.

But this actually made his actions easier.

Relying on his quick movement among countless flames, even if he was alone, he was still able to easily withstand the attacks of these Nighthawks.

The other party even had the leisure to take advantage of the gaps between the flames to give them a mocking smile.

The opponent's behavior at this time is very similar to Yasuo who is Eing forward in a pile of soldiers while showing his icon at the same time.

"ember!"

After finding that shooting was useless, Dunn's expression darkened and he shouted, "Throw the box over there!"

Holding up the crystal staff, Yu Jin, who was about to release [Instant Freeze], gave up the action and casually threw the box in his hand into the middle of the fire in front of him.

"good chance!"

Klein was immediately delighted.

Although the fragments of wooden boxes that were blown apart by the soul crystal blocks were spread over a wide area, their diameter was only a little over ten meters.

That is, unless the Joker appears at the edge of the fire and escapes the influence of '2-049'.

Otherwise, no matter where he appears next time, he will undoubtedly be captured by '2-049'!

After confirming that the other party could move quickly in the flames, everyone, including Klein, quickly dispersed.

Stand in a fan shape to surround the fire, no matter where the enemy appears on the edge of the fire.

They will be attacked by the Nighthawks the moment they appear.

This is a conspiracy!

as predicted.

And the moment he realized that Ember was about to throw the box into the center of the fire, Tuxedo Clown instantly chose to abandon the fire and flee to the edge of the fire.

Although this will lose the joy of the wind, at least you can save your life.

And not surprisingly—

The direction he chose was still Klein!

Because Tuxedo Clown knows very well.

Klein, who is the only Sequence Nine and a fortune teller, is definitely the weakest among this group.

As long as he kills him, he can successfully escape from the encirclement of the Nighthawks!
But before that, we must prevent that strange man from releasing the tracking orb again.

So before taking action, the Joker shot a fireball at the embers without hesitation.

He didn't want to hurt the other person, he just wanted to delay for a while.

Snapped!
At the same time, the flames in front of Klein instantly rose up and transformed into the figure of a clown in a tuxedo.

The moment the other party appeared, his right hand had already snapped his fingers towards Klein.

At the same time, Klein had already grasped the revolver with both hands and pointed the muzzle at his head.

"I've been waiting for you!"

The corners of Klein's mouth slightly raised. He knew that the other party would definitely choose to break through him again.

After all, who makes me the weakest here?
but.

He is weak, but his gun is not weak!
At such a close distance, even casual shooting can still hit the target 100% of the time!
The funny and mocking smile on the Tuxedo Clown's face suddenly froze.

It wasn't because of Klein's gun, but because of his gradually rigid mind.

How could it be… I was clearly… five… meters… away…

The Tuxedo Clown's mind suddenly became extremely rigid, and the movement of snapping his fingers became extremely slow.

The two fingers were clearly touching each other, but no sound came out.

boom!
Klein pulled the trigger without hesitation, causing the Joker, whose imagination was running wild, to stop thinking completely.
