Ring of Fate

Chapter 724: Breaking the Substitute
The "Witch of Pleasure" does not have the ability to actively seduce, but can display her charm to the greatest extent. Even under normal circumstances, this can make most men unable to take their eyes off her, their breathing becomes heavy, and their minds are full of imagination. What's more, Moran Avni has never been an "ascetic monk" and has been aroused by the "Necklace of Beatrice".

In this situation, Moran Avni only had Franca in his eyes, and his mind was filled with his own imagination of what might happen next.

His heart beat faster, his blood rushed, and his movements were affected, swift but strange.

His body glowed with a morning glow, and he identified Franka as the target of punishment, which would comprehensively increase his influence on this "Witch of Pleasure" and the power of his attacks.

As the target of punishment was selected, Moran Avini's body seemed to grow a little taller, which made Franca feel fearful and felt that this was a big man who could dominate her life.

This caused her to come out of stealth mode, and her movements, which were rapidly changing, slowed down.

Moran Avini, whose breathing became hot, seized the opportunity, raised his right hand, pushed it in the direction of Franka, and said in ancient Hermes:
"captivity!"

A large amount of sticky transparent liquid suddenly emerged around Franka, forming a huge amber, wrapping up the "Witch of Joy" and solidifying her in place.

Click!
Franka's body shattered and turned into a palm-sized makeup mirror.

In this way, she escaped from the "captivity" of the "Knight of Punishment".

At this time, Moran Avni had a strong premonition of danger. Relying on the powerful physique of the "Punishment Knight", he broke free from the invisible spider silk that was entangled with him and rolled to the side with force.

Janna, who had circled behind him, stabbed him with her ice crystal spikes covered in witch's black flames with all her strength, but failed to hit him.

Moran Avni saw the "witch" in a black dress and a bonnet, and suddenly thought she was not bad.

Of course, both are better together.

Moran Avini immediately turned into a half-squat position, and used his palm to grasp the area where Janna was, and shouted in ancient Hermes:
"Confinement!"

Silently, an invisible wall that even spirits could hardly penetrate appeared around Janna.

This was not directly attached to her, but rather a transparent cell with a little space was created with her as the center of the circle, so the "mirror substitute" was not triggered.

Seeing this, Janna did not try to attack the invisible wall, but directly condensed a layer of frost on the surface of her body.

There was another layer of frost outside the frost, and there was a thin vacuum in between, turning Janna into a statue of ice and snow.

"Confinement!"

Moran Avni did not take any further action against Janna immediately. With bloodshot eyes, he turned to Franca and closed the space around the "Witch of Joy".

Franka didn't do anything else to respond, and a large amount of black flames suddenly emerged from her body.

Outside the black flames, layers of frost condensed, as if making a translucent, solid coffin.

The transparent spider silks around it entangled around and around, wrapping the frost inside and forming a huge cocoon.

This... Moran Avni was puzzled by the abnormality of the "Witch of Joy", but was also delighted that his "confinement" had produced an effect and avoided the effect of the "mirror substitute".

He ran towards Franka with twisted and strange movements, already rehearsing in his mind the abilities he was going to use next and what would happen after he controlled the other party.

He almost forgot that there was another "audience member" at the scene, but Anthony had hidden in some blind spot.

No matter what, let's control the two witches first! Just as Moran Avni had this thought, a slightly sharp melody suddenly rang in his ears.

Lumian walked out from the shadows in the corner, holding the blackened "Song of Hate" bone flute in his mouth.

The reason why he was not forced out of his hiding place by the "No Invisibility" just now was because he was not in an invisible state either. He just turned himself into a shadow creature and merged with the shadow!
Lumian looked at Moran Avini's face which was twisted by lust, and walked towards him with a smile, playing the piano even harder.

Considering Moran Avni's current situation, he believed that the weakness attack of "Song of Hate" would definitely detonate the opponent's desire, and there was no need to cooperate with the ability of "Life Hunter".

Amid the brisk yet sharp music, Moran Avni's body suddenly stiffened.

With a crackling sound, he used his "mirror substitute" to bear this nearly fatal attack on his behalf.

Moran Avni's figure then appeared behind Lumian, but Lumian's playing had not stopped, and Moran Avni's lust, which was close to exploding, had not subsided.

Click! Click! Click!
Moran Avni's body kept shattering like a mirror, and kept appearing in the increasingly lively melody. He was unable to escape from this area, and had no time to find a way to block his ears.

The wonderful music brought by "The Movement of Hate" echoes in every corner of the space behind the mirror.

Anthony huddled in a corner, plugged his ears with props he had prepared in advance, and was always ready to rely on the mirror to hypnotize himself and fall asleep to avoid Lumian's death melody that did not distinguish between friend and foe.

Even though he was prepared, gray-white dragon scales unconsciously appeared on his body surface.

Snap! Snap! Moran Avni's "mirror double" was finally used up.

His mind suddenly buzzed and he felt the ultimate joy, a joy that was suddenly detonated.

His body trembled with a mixture of pain and bliss.

Blood was flowing out of his nose, his eyes, his ears, and the corners of his mouth. His saliva, his snot, and his tears were flowing at the same time. He looked like he was about to faint.

Lumian flashed behind him, put on "The Melody of Hate" and hummed a sound.

Two white lights fell on Moran Avni, causing the "Punishment Knight" to faint completely.

Lumian did not give Moran Avini a chance to wake up with his possible special abilities. He pulled out a ritual dog skin from the "traveler's bag" and covered the head of the slowly falling enemy with it.

"dog!"

Lumian immediately shouted in Hermetic.

A dim light flashed, and Moran Avni disappeared, and a giant dog with brown and yellow hair appeared in his place.

With a disembodied sound of a fall, the giant dog lay unconscious on its side on the ground.

Lumian smiled, bent down, and picked up the dog.

Seeing this, Anthony removed the plugs that completely blocked his ears, and Janna also removed the two layers of frost on her body.

Franka was a little slow, and it took a few seconds for the "cocoon" to break open. The ice coffin disintegrated silently, and the black flames dissipated and disappeared.

She said to Lumian and Janna with surprise and joy:

"Just now, my 'joy' potion showed a significant digestion!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand and pinched her nose, looking at the place where Moran Avini had just stood and the giant dog in Lumian's arms, and said:

“I know what’s going on…

"He must have enjoyed real pleasure just now, the ultimate pleasure, and this 'pleasure' was caused by me."

Lumian thought for a moment and said:
"He even risked his life to pursue the pleasure you gave him, and suffered the same extreme pain. In the end, he got the pleasure he wanted, although not in the way he hoped, and he paid the highest price for it."

"He is still a Sequence 5 Beyonder." Franka sighed with a smile on her face. "What a pity, it wasn't the 'Song of Hate' that I played. Otherwise, my 'Joy' potion might have been almost completely digested. Joy brings pain, joy makes people sink, and joy to the target is like a candle flame to a moth..."

At this point, she lowered her voice and muttered in a strange language:

"Sex is like a sword hanging over your head..."

Franka was not too regretful, because among them, only Lumian could bear the negative cost of "Melody of Hate".

Anthony looked around and calmly reminded Franca:

"Now that you have succeeded, leave now."

At this time, Janna had already approached Lumian, and Lumian also put away the "Song of Hate".

"Yeah." Franka nodded, walked a few steps to Lumian's side and grabbed his upper arm.

At the same time, large patches of black flames burned in the area behind the mirror.

A few seconds later, the four people came out of the fixed entrance to the mirror world in the quarry cave, and Franka completed the finishing work of anti-divination and anti-prophecy.

Then they were "teleported" back to the safe house in the administrative district.

It was only at this moment that Franka uttered an "Ah":
"'Beatrice's necklace' can no longer arouse 'lust'..."

Each of the desires that "Beatrice's Necklace" can arouse can only be used twice, and the last target of "Lust" was Gardner Martin.

For the "Witch of Joy" Franka, this means the loss of a powerful auxiliary means.

Janna nodded slightly:
"What a shame! It seems that the 'Pleasure Witch' and the 'Sex Addict' from the 'Tree of Desire' pathway can form a very perfect and very effective combination."

"Yeah, it's a pity that I can't obtain the gift of the 'Mother Tree of Desire', otherwise..." Franka suddenly closed her mouth, and the same phrase flashed through Lumian and others' minds:
"Sex addict witch"!
Ahem. Franka coughed twice and said:

"I can only hope that the benefactors of the Mother Tree of Desire can give me more similar items."

She turned to look at the giant dog, which had not yet woken up due to its weak body, and said carefully:

"First give him some truth serum, then have Anthony make friends with him, a two-pronged approach?

"Well, 'Magic Mirror Communication' is a backup plan for any eventuality..."

Lumian nodded, remembering the "criticism" of the "Black Witch" that Franka had relayed to him, and suppressed his greedy desires and said:

“Don’t worry, I’ll interrogate you after I visit Mr. K.

"Mr. K must have had his reasons for suddenly assassinating Moran Avni. We need to ask him about the situation so that we can extract intelligence more specifically later."

"That's right." Franka and others nodded.

19 Sher Street, headquarters of "Psychic" magazine.

Lumian, who had changed his clothes and was wearing a thinner blue cotton coat, got off the carriage and entered the luxurious white house that was six stories high.
