Ring of Fate

Chapter 732 Purpose
When she recognized who Perle was, Franca had already hidden herself, planning to go around to the side of the other person, use a mirror to reflect her figure, and try to cast a curse.

Even if the curse fails to achieve its purpose, it can create conditions for Janna's shadow to sneak behind the target and assassinate him.

Neither she nor Janna thought as much as Lumian, the "conspirator". They just intuitively believed that the sudden attack by Perle was very dangerous, more dangerous than Moran Avni, but they did not guess that he was a "supervisor" or a demigod.

As Perle spoke those words using the "Word of Order", Franka felt that thin snake-like things jumped out from the shadows around her and surrounded her in the middle.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, one after another extremely sharp and hard ice spikes grew out of the ground, like the spears stabbed by the soldiers.

Franka jumped up hurriedly, pressed the side of one of the ice spikes with one hand, and rolled in the air to jump out of the area.

Her body was nearly pierced through and hung on the tip of the ice spike.

Before Franka landed on the ground, black flames flew out from the shadows and headed straight for her. The slender snake-like things around her suddenly shrank, binding her layer by layer.

This... Franka had no time to do anything else and could only watch the black flames fall on her.

At the same time, she saw a figure walking out of the shadows. It was Clarisse, who was wearing a black court dress and an elegant bun. However, the "Black Witch" had a blurry and dark face, and did not look like a real person.

My crimes are fraud, deception, and exploitation of others, which mainly refers to the witch sect, so the punishment comes from the illusion of the "Black Witch"? This thought flashed through Franka's mind.

Her body shattered like glass.

"Mirror Stand-in"!
Janna in stealth mode also faces a strange enemy:

He was a clergyman of the Church of the Eternal Sun, wearing a white robe inlaid with gold thread. Not only were his facial features blurry, making it impossible to tell who he was, but even his body shape was constantly and subtly changing.

The blazing sunlight fell, dispelling all the shadows in the corresponding area and exposing Janna's body.

Jane suddenly had an epiphany:
My crime was believing in multiple gods and betraying the Eternal Sun...

So, the one who came to punish me was the abstract embodiment of the church clergy...

Janna quickly rolled to the other side of the quarry hole to avoid the attack of the "clergyman".

Anthony has not been forgotten.

He was just about to use "psychological invisibility" to get close to Perle and make her fall into "frenzy" when he saw a whip that seemed to be wrapped in silver-white electric light coming towards him.

The crackling sound rang directly in Anthony's mind. It was both unreal and real, making him feel the pain as if his soul was scratched by sharp thorns, and all the hairs on his body stood up.

If he hadn't had strong self-control, he would have screamed.

What caught his eye was a middle-aged man dressed as a Trier policeman in a black uniform and a white shirt.

My crime was the illegal acts I committed as an intelligence dealer, so I was facing the police from Trier? Most of the police from Trier did not have extraordinary powers, so this Punisher directly demonstrated the ability of the "Arbitrator" field? Anthony let the gray-white dragon scales on his body surface protrude while running and rolling skillfully, looking for opportunities to use "Psychological Invisibility".

The already dim environment around Lumian suddenly became gloomy, as if something was about to wriggle and take shape, making people feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.

The next second, just when the dangerous and terrifying thing was about to emerge, it collapsed and disintegrated on its own, and the gloomy and fearful feeling around it disappeared like ice and snow melting.

Uh... the Punisher involved in my crime is too high-ranking to be directly transformed? Combining the situation of Franka and others, Lumian came up with such a guess.

Behind him, spears made of blazing white flames emerged and whizzed towards the extravagantly dressed Perle like arrows.

The flaming spears were like a forest, brilliant and fierce, but they were a cover to conceal Lumian's real attack.

He had drawn his revolver and flicked the wheel with his finger.

It was filled with three of the six bullets obtained from the Jebusites.

Lumian is now going to use the "Implosion Bullet".

Only by using this kind of special bullet combined with the "harvest" ability, does he have a glimmer of hope of hurting Perle, the suspected "supervisor"!
boom!
Lumian's eyes were iron-black, and the bullets flashing with bright starlight were hidden among the long spears of blazing white flames and shot towards Perle's neck.

Perle stood next to the fixed entrance and exit of the mirror world, without dodging, still with a friendly smile.

She curled her lips and said:
"How dare you attack the Overseer?"

As soon as the socialite who claimed to be the supervisor uttered the first word, the starlight bullet fired by Lumian suddenly turned around and changed direction without any warning, heading straight for Lumian's neck.

Likewise, those spears of blazing white flames strangely returned to Lumian's side and enveloped him.

Lumian didn't even have time to use "Teleport" before he was hit by the implosion bullet, and his body continued to collapse towards a point.

Click!
He completely turned into a mirror, which shattered into countless small pieces, and disappeared without a trace as they gathered unstoppably towards the point.

After the battle with Jebus, Franka gave Lumian another "mirror substitute"!
Seeing this scene, Perle was not surprised at all. She sighed and smiled:

"From my own perspective, I definitely hope that you die now and release the angel. This will be of great help to our common cause. But unfortunately, the one who made the 'secret deal' with me asked to capture you alive."

Lumian's figure was outlined in a corner of the quarry, and he also heard Perle's words.

In a flash, he had many guesses:
“‘Backroom Deal’?
"Perle is the 'supervisor' directly under Jebus. The reason why she was able to escape the pursuit of the major arcana cards is because she completed another high-level 'secret deal'. And what she had to pay for this was to capture me and take me somewhere?
"When did she find out that Moran Avni was in trouble? Has she been monitoring Moran Avni's mansion? Or, did someone else pass on the information to her?

"It can't be that the Purifiers are not professional enough and didn't block the news, right?

“Why do you want to capture me alive? Who wants to capture me alive?
"Sacrificing me like Suzanne Matisse did?

"Or maybe the one who made the secret deal with Perle was the 'Sufferer' from the 'Sinners' organization. He didn't want Thermipolos to break free from the seal and wanted to control this angel so that he could become a member of his own promotion?

"No, if it was just a 'victim', even if he could mislead the 'magician' lady and others for a while, he couldn't stop them from returning to rescue, and Perle still looked calm...

"The other party of the 'backroom deal' is the 'Mother Tree of Desire' or the 'Great Mother'? Only they can organize a team to deal with the Major Arcana cards in this world..."

When so many questions appeared in Lumian's mind, he used his keen intuition as a "conspirator" to connect two of them together:
The first is who was the object of the "secret deal" of the "supervisor" Perle, and the second is why she was able to discover that Moran Avni was in trouble in a very short time and decisively held a high-standard "secret deal".

These two questions intertwined together, and Lumian instantly thought of one thing:
In the "Purifier" team, there is a core member of "April Fool's Day" who is not a time traveler. He cooperated with "Loki" and single-handedly took charge of the loss of the human-shaped sealed object. Until today, the "Eternal Sun" Church has not yet found out who is at fault!

"Could it be that there is a 'broker' involved in this matter?

"Yes, only if the core members of April Fools lurking inside the church and the Purifiers who lost the humanoid seals have no apparent relationship and don't even know each other, it is possible that the Eternal Blazing Sun Church, which has so many seals and demigods, has not gained anything after investigating for so long!

"From the perspective of the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun, the Purifiers who lost the humanoid seal really just made a mistake. They had no motive for committing the crime, and it was not related to April Fools' Day...

"The 'School of Truth' has expanded its 'brokerage business' to within the 'Eternal Blazing Sun' Church?
"Yes, only the Darkless Ones will not be involved in gray transactions, and most of the Purifiers cannot reach the level of Sequence 4. Similarly, not all cardinals are from the Sun Path...

"It seems that the 'School of Truth' has long been connected to 'April Fools' Day' and has been cooperating with them...

"MD, it really is a brokerage organization, it can be linked to any force!
"So it was the partner of the 'School of Truth' within the 'Eternal Blazing Sun' Church who urgently passed the information about Moran Avini's accident to 'Supervisor' Perle?

"After Perle received the news, she immediately held a high-profile 'secret deal', and the one she traded with was 'April Fool's Day'? No, 'April Fool's Day' didn't have that power. Was it the Heavenly Lord behind them, or other high-ranking subordinates of the Heavenly Lord?
"No wonder they want to capture me alive...

"Perle may have originally just wanted to give something in exchange for cutting off her connection with Moran Avni, but the other party in the 'secret deal' came up with a new plan, allowing her to turn from passive to active, complete a deception, and set a trap?
"How far we can achieve it depends on our performance on the spot...

"If it really is 'April Fools' Day', and if there really is the will of that Heavenly Lord looming, then it can be explained why Ms. 'Magician' didn't notice the problem and stepped into it."

Thinking of this, Lumian was shocked:
Thermipolos reminded me twice about the "School of Truth". Could it be that he was so active and wanted to promote it because he saw the corresponding development of destiny and the hope of escaping the seal?
