Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 127: "Rolling the dice" vs. "Making the rules", a complete win!

There are extraordinary people attacking here!

After suffering from several "Screams of the Wrath" from Sta in succession, Heras' condition was the best among the few remaining survivors on the scene.

Parker, who had the lowest sequence on the ground, curled up his body, twisted and slapped the ground before fainting. He was directly attacked by the spirit and lost his combat ability.

Dense and transparent blisters grew on the relatively intact skin on his body, which was obviously an early sign of losing control!

The fact that he didn't die was already due to the effect of his enhanced physique as a Beyonder.

Judging from the situation, without a period of recovery, it will be of no help in this battle.

Katie, Sequence 7 "Interrogator", was not in much better condition.

Covering her ears, a large amount of blood was already gushing out of her nose. She fell to the ground holding the revolver, shivering continuously - this was the effect caused by Star's direct damage to her soul.

Heras didn't understand how the invaders on the opposite side could be willing to throw out so many high-level talismans containing "Scream of the Wrathful Soul" at once just to deal with a few of their small mid-sequence Beyonders.

But that did not stop him from looking at the man wearing a skull mask who seemed to have used the "apprentice's" "door opening" ability and slowly walked out of the magnificent hall, and he immediately used his own ability.

So, while paying attention to the movement at the entrance to the underground area, he pointed at the door and spoke in a low voice in ancient Hermes:
"Confinement!"

The whole restaurant suddenly froze, as if there was an invisible wall that even the "apprentice" could hardly penetrate.

He was in an extremely awkward state, and was filled with rage. He was determined to make sure that the intruder could not escape!

In the emotional Heras's opinion, this extraordinary person in black leather clothes has already used up so many high-level spells that can be used as trump cards. His spiritual energy has been consumed so much that even if he has any additional means, he cannot use them!

And now, as long as he puts on the magical item bestowed by the royal family, he will definitely make this equally weak invader pay the price with his enhanced powers.

Two extraordinary people against one extraordinary person, the advantage is on my side!

Not to mention that this place is close to the headquarters of the Church of the Storm. Sooner or later, the Mandated Punishers will intervene, and then they will all gang up on this Beyonder.

There is also a demigod from the royal family. As long as we hold out until he arrives, we will definitely be able to take down this extraordinary person!
And Star, under the skull mask, was just sighing that the "teasing" effect was so good, and Heras didn't run away.

Without any delay, while Heras' morale was still high, Star immediately used the "Recovery Spell" to restore his own spirituality.

Then, when Katie was struggling to get up and Heras was about to take something out of his secret bag, he rushed forward, used the "Channel" to force "tease" once again, and used the "Confusion" to say:

"Heras, the end of the royal family has come!"

When his name was called, Heras was stunned for a moment and stopped taking out the gloves from the secret bag and putting them on his hands.

He suddenly fell into a state of confusion!
How did the other side know his name?
Could it be that someone has infiltrated their place and an undercover agent has leaked the information?
Has the news of the royal family supporting human trafficking been leaked?
At this moment, his brain froze and he instinctively used his extraordinary ability on the man in the skull mask to stop him from moving forward.

"No raids allowed here!"

With a look of fear in his eyes, Heras pushed his palm forward and announced in ancient Hermetic language.

How could Costa not be more prepared against the "Arbitrator's" ability to make rules?

At the moment of rushing over, the "dice roll" determines at the same time:
"This place is forbidden!"

[Dark Dice]

【Luck: 1/90 (Great Success)】

[Mystery: 12/55 (Great Success)]

Star wants to see whether their "rule-making" is faster or his "rolling the dice" is faster!

The next second, an invisible and powerful force was about to condense into shape, but it dissipated after the "dice roll" was passed.

There was no time to stop Star, who quickly came within a few meters of Heras wearing a skull mask.

Without being able to take care of Katie's finishing blow, Sta had to target Heras first and prevent him from wearing the magical item made with the Sequence 5 attribute!

"Skill-Dream Guidance"!
I saw circles of invisible ripples spreading out, and Heras' eyelids couldn't stop falling.

And under Star's black leather jacket, there were tentacles rolling like wriggling tentacles, which suddenly pulled Heras into the dream.

Knowing that this would not trap Heras for too long, Sta simply pulled the glove out from the secret pocket.

In order to prevent himself from being trapped by the negative effects of the gloves, he did not use this magical item immediately, but threw the iron-black gloves far away.

Luckily, it was just out of Katie and Heras' reach!
At this time, Katie barely stood up with the pistol in hand.

She gave Star a cruel and stiff smile behind his back.

But with her brain confused by the shock, she didn't shoot at the first moment, but used her extraordinary ability.

"Spiritual Piercing"!
Given the opponent's speed, if this extraordinary person was not controlled in advance, he would definitely dodge the bullet under the guidance of inspiration.

This is normal logic, but it was also the beginning of her misfortune.

Star's spirit was not damaged at all, and the mental attack was blocked by the "Soul Protection Talisman" before it could take effect.

Temporarily stopping his attempt to trap Heras in the dream, Staten reached out and approached Katie.

He spoke gently from beneath the demon mask.

"Skill-Scream"!
How can he still use this?
Ah... at this moment, her brain was completely blown up by the "Scream of the Vengeful Spirit" and she fell into a coma.

Not dead, but just not breathing.

But how could Star miss this opportunity to finish off the opponent?
Bang bang bang!
Star emptied the magazine of his revolver, ending her life!

At that moment, red, yellow, and white were scattered all around her body, staining the magnificent restaurant with a bloody tinge.

But most of these things brushed past Star's black leather jacket, as if the bloody raindrops accurately avoided him and fell to the floor.

Only a few splashed onto his skull mask, staining the white skull mask with a little blood.

Just as he picked up Ms. Katie's pistol and was about to fire a few more bullets at Heras, Heras came to his senses.

Looking at Sta who turned his head to look at him, Heras saw that he was almost intact from the corner of his eye. He realized something and his pupils shrank.

He no longer had any thoughts of resisting, and hurriedly stretched out his left hand, pointing in the direction of Star, and tried to speak in a low voice in Hermes:

"exile!"

Haha...the corners of Star's mouth under the skull mask just curled up slightly.

At the same time, Heras found that "Exile" did not work, so he pushed his palm out again and tried another ability:
"captivity!"

The expected prison made of transparent walls did not appear. Star approached him step by step without any hindrance.

This is the effect of Star's "dice roll" judgment -

Here, he is the embodiment of the judgment of fate, and there is no need for others to make extra rules!
Not only the "imprisonment" and "exile" abilities are also making rules, and they are all within the scope of the "dice roll" judgment.

[Dark Dice]

【Luck: 1/90 (Great Success)】

[Mystery: 1/55 (Great Success)]

In the judgment of "luck", there is a blessing from the "Mercury Snake".

In the judgment of "mystery", there is a person who comes from "between reality and illusion".

Therefore, after passing the two "big successes" of "rolling the dice", Star, who is a "gambler" in the main path and a "lawyer" in the "order" field in the secondary path, is not affected by these abilities at all.

No matter how hard Heras tried to use his abilities, as if it was destined, he could only watch his greatest reliance being destroyed at this moment.

Watching Star gradually approaching him and raising his pistol to aim.

He suddenly remembered the gloves given by the royal family.

Correct.

As long as I have that glove.

He will definitely be able to bridge the gap between the two sides and escape from this terrifying Extraordinary!

Correct.

In a trance, Heras seemed to see himself wearing iron-black gloves and escaping from the hands of the man in black leather clothes.

The royal demigod did not blame him afterwards. He just held up a head wearing a skull mask and said, "It's okay. We also caught an undercover agent. It's worth it." Yes.

……

No, this is another dream!

Damn, why does he have so many magical items on him!

Heras suddenly broke free from Star's "Skill - Dream Induction". When he opened his eyes, he saw Star pointing Katie's pistol at his head.

His eyes suddenly widened.

Bang bang bang!
Even though he has become an extraordinary person, his physical condition has been strengthened to a certain extent.

But under the continuous shooting of demon hunting bullets, the extraordinary person of the "Arbitrator" path eventually died.

As he was about to play, he seemed to hear Star say that he played well and thank him for making him play so happily!

"It's really pleasant, Horus, I probably won't forget you today!"

So, this little leader who assisted the tyrant in committing evil died with intense pain and unwillingness.

……

"I didn't expect it to be so smooth?"

Star waved his hands and leaned back slightly.

Star was somewhat surprised to see that Heras had finally died from a barrage of demon-hunting bullets from Katie's revolver.

He originally thought that this battle—

Even though he had used up most of the "Skill-Scream" spells in his inventory, he had controlled them from the beginning of the battle and severely damaged their combat power.

Even if he used "dice rolling" to restrain the ability of these "arbitrators" to make rules.

Even if you have the blessing of an angel.

In the end, they could struggle for a few more minutes.

Unexpectedly, only one or two minutes had passed since the battle began, and most of the enemy's main forces had been killed here.

However, if they run away with all their might from the beginning, even if you use "tease", you won't be able to call them all back.

This can be said to be a victory in the ambush, or it can be said to be fate's favor to him.

Star thought as he walked towards Parker next to him.

Facing Parker, who had lost his ability to fight from the very beginning, he used the "Skill - Blood Chant" to distort the flesh and blood in his body.

As this extraordinary person spat out fragments of internal organs, his face was unrecognizable.

Finally, all the extraordinary people on the ground were captured.

After casually using a few "Search Spells" to speed up the release of their extraordinary characteristics, Star turned his head and looked at the entrance to the underground area.

It seems that there is another small fish there?

Hasn't it run away yet? Or jumped out?

As he was thinking, he saw a figure emerging in the distance.

Without even a moment's mourning for Heras' death, the one rushing to the battlefield was—

……

Belis, who was guarding the underground prison, had been paying attention to the movements outside, but he did not dare to leave his post without permission, for fear that the invader's accomplices would take the opportunity to break into the dungeon.

From the moment Heras's "forbidden" and other abilities were spoken in Hermetic language, he knew that an Beyonder was invading.

Holding the high-pressure steam rifle and activating his spiritual vision, he was tense at all times, not daring to relax at all.

Until finally, he heard a series of unusually solemn declarations from Heras and the sound of a volley of bullets from Katie's revolver.

The invader is dead!

This was his first thought.

Belis didn't believe that with the gloves given by the royal family and the rules set by Heras, any extraordinary person could escape such a combo.

The final gunshot must have been caused by Katie, with the cooperation of Heras, killing the invader!

Baylis was quite happy. Holding a high-pressure steam rifle, he walked up to celebrate his victory.

……

"Well, I'm really lucky tonight."

This thought occurred to Star when he first saw Bayliss.

Without waiting for the other party to react, Star took the lead in chanting, resonating the surrounding air with his spirituality:
"I walked every exclusive street"

"Wandering Along the Exclusive Tussock River"

“I see everyone passing by”

"Has a weak, miserable face"

……

"Skill-Bardic"!
Suddenly, Baylis was filled with sadness.

Is the royal family's actions really worthy of their following?
Is it really necessary for Backlund, or even the Kingdom of Loen, to remain loyal to George III?

His hand that was about to pull the trigger stopped for a moment, and he forgot that he was still trying to escape.

Just as Bayliss was about to shake off the effects of this ability and realize that these were not his true feelings, Star raised his revolver and shot him in the forehead.

boom!
A sharp bullet pierced his head.

The last Extraordinary guarding here then ended his life with the revolver borrowed by Star.

Throwing away Katie's revolver with a little disgust, Star picked up his own and took a look at it.

Well, not bad, not stained with the blood of these human traffickers.

Star didn't stay here for long, not because he was afraid of feeling the discomfort of killing someone for the first time.

In the original body's memory, he had killed people under the pressure of survival.

Not to mention that these people deserved no death.

However, although Heras used "confinement" to seal off the space here at the beginning, he was worried that the Mandated Punisher would arrive, so Sta thought he might as well speed up his actions.

It is better to finish everything that needs to be done as soon as possible before anyone notices what is happening here.

Thinking of this, Star collected the extraordinary characteristics of these people, put them in a cigarette box he picked up on the roadside, and then searched for the key to the dungeon on Belis and others.

Luckily, it's not hard to find.

Once the key was in hand, Star took the steam-powered rifle from Bayliss.

He aimed at the basement entrance, which still had the effects of Baylis's "confinement", raised his rifle without hesitation, and pulled the trigger.

boom!
White mist spurted out from the barrel, and a sharp pale gold bullet shot forward at an astonishing speed.

Bullet after bullet hit the invisible wall, gradually breaking down the "confinement".

Seeing that his attack was effective, Star threw away his rifle, walked into the dungeon, opened the door locks one after another with keys, and signaled the girls inside to come out quickly.

Then, the girls imprisoned in the basement saw a light shining in from the dungeon.

A man wearing a skull mask and black leather jacket came in and rescued them from this devil's den.
