Ring of Fate

Chapter 864 "Thief"?
As soon as Lumian came out of the shadow creature state, he hummed.

Two white lights shot out from his nose and flew towards Harrison's body, where he had no time to dodge.

Almost at the same time, Lumian felt a strong aura of death emanating from Harrison, and his spirit suddenly shrank inward, as if it had turned into a golden, round grain of millet, hiding in the deepest part of the body, never to be reached again.

When the two white lights fell on Harrison's body, it was like hitting a piece of rotten wood or a corpse that had long lost its spirituality, and failed to produce any effect.

Harrison turned to Lumian, and his retracted spirit instantly expanded, filling his body again.

Along with this change, a wooden stick wrapped with white cloth quickly condensed in Harrison's right palm.

He swung the illusory stick at Lumian.

The white cloth strips on the wooden sticks swayed gently, causing a series of cries that were either shrill or wailing.

They drilled into Lumian's ears, causing Lumian, who was about to change his position, to be dazed for a moment and unable to dodge in time.

Snapped!
The wooden stick wrapped with white cloth swept across Lumian's body.

His skin quickly turned pale and his sense of mortality deepened rapidly.

Click!
Lumian's body broke apart like a mirror, falling to the ground in dim fragments.

Then, he appeared on the side of the slope and shook the mirror where Franka was hidden.

Franka understood what he meant, and immediately broke away from the mirror, holding the burning white candle, and jumped to a place not far from him.

Lumian reached into the "Traveler's Bag" with his other hand, took out the "Black Tear" forehead ornament, and threw it to Franka.

Here, there is no need to worry about the occult plague that comes with the "Black Tears" spreading, and the "Witch of Pain" can withstand the erosion of the corresponding occult pathogens for a longer time!

Lumian even suspected that due to the special features of the "Samaritan Woman's Fountain", the mysterious pathogens created by the "Black Tears" could only last for a period of time before they would die on their own.

As for what he should do during this period of time, Lumian had already considered it - after throwing out the "Black Tear" forehead ornament, he quickly reached into the "Traveler's Bag" and grasped the hilt of the "Sword of Courage".

He wanted this sword to bear half of the damage and impact for him!
Lumian wasn't too worried about the resulting excess courage:

With Franka here, she will pay attention to guiding and correcting the "Warrior's" choices, using more tactful methods that are easier for the "Warrior" to accept, such as occupying a better position, letting the "Warrior" throw the sword to her, using it briefly, and then not catching the iron-black straight sword when it is really thrown over. In this way, neither of them will be affected by courage.

In Franka's words, with an external brain, the use of the "Sword of Courage" can be bolder.

Of course, this can only effectively reduce the impact of courage, but cannot completely avoid it.

Harrison didn't watch Lumian and Franca prepare, he threw the wooden stick wrapped with white cloth over.

The wooden stick quickly faded in mid-air, disintegrated, and turned into dots of pale and dark green light that merged into the darkness.

A number of transparent, blurry, pale hands with an eerie chill suddenly emerged from under Lumian and Franca's feet. They surged wildly like reeds blown by the wind and grabbed at their ankles and calves.

This seems to create a kind of paralysis.

At the same time, Harrison opened and closed his mouth, chanting spells in a strange language.

Teng's voice sounded, and white flames burned at Lumian's feet, bringing high temperatures to counter the gloom, coldness and numbness created by those pale hands.

Franka, who had the "Black Tear" forehead ornament wrapped around her wrist, silently let the evil and quiet "Witch" black flame flow like water, engulfing the transparent and blurry hands that tried to influence her and completely ignited them.

Lumian finally grasped the "Sword of Courage" and became fearless in an instant.

He drew out the iron-black straight sword and slashed forward.

A huge fireball of bright white and blue condensed and flew straight towards Harrison, whose hair was only a thin layer of black.

Harrison saw this and did not move. He quickly recited the last two spells and pointed his right hand in the direction of the "Samaritan Woman's Fountain".

Franka, who had just freed herself from the entanglement of the pale hand, finally understood what the enemy was saying.

One sentence is "steal the secrets of heaven", the first part of the sentence is unclear, and the second part is "urgently as ordered".

At the "Samaritan Woman Fountain" below, the pale water gurgled and boiled, reflecting a female figure whose temperament was as peaceful as the night but whose body was rotting and oozing with pus.

The female figure looked at the outside world quietly without any movement.

But in front of Harrison, there appeared a figure that was similar to her but more illusory and erratic.

As the bright white and blue fireball that Lumian slashed out with the "Sword of Courage" approached the figure, it gradually dimmed and quickly became blurred, and most of it disappeared.

The few remaining ones exploded on the spot, forcing Harrison to take two steps back.

Upon seeing this, Lumian activated the remaining aura of the "Blood Emperor" in his right palm without hesitation.

Want more than this?

it is good!
Then let’s see who can exert more influence on the “Samaritan Woman’s Fountain”!
There is nothing to be afraid of!

Wow!

The pale water flow shrank back into the dark spring where even light could not exist, and a feeling of madness and violence instantly descended.

At this moment, whether it was Harrison, Lumian, or Franca, they were all shocked physically and mentally. They wanted to surrender, and temporarily lost their ability to think, and their brains went blank.

The cold and rotten feeling of Lumian's right palm then appeared, suppressing the remaining breath of the "Blood Emperor".

The crazy and violent feeling coming from the spring quickly subsided.

Lumian was the first to regain his senses. He raised the iron-black "Sword of Courage", ran to Harrison in a few steps, and chopped at his head.

boom!
Amid the sound of the explosion and the dissipating flames, Harris' body degenerated into a gloomy and terrifying paper figure full of death.

The paper figure was lightly attached to the blade of the "Sword of Courage" and was torn into pieces by the violent impact of the wind and waves, and was completely ignited by the blazing white and blue flames.

Several similar paper figures appeared around Lumian. They all looked eerie, pale, and dead, with their stiff and funny facial features revealing unspeakable horror and malevolence.

The next second, black flames flew over from Franka and landed on the paper figures, burning the spirituality and mystery that supported them from the root.

In just a blink of an eye, these eerie paper figures fell down with a series of screams and turned into ashes.

"Harrison ran away!" Franca took a glance and immediately made a judgment.

Lumian, holding the Sword of Courage, chased up the slope and reached the edge of the gray fog.

The fog here was swaying gently, as if telling him that the enemy had just escaped not long ago.

Just as Lumian was about to chase after him, he heard Franka's voice:
"Let's exchange seals. Mine is almost timed out."

Lumian was not afraid of the negative impact of the "Black Tears" and immediately threw the "Sword of Courage" over.

As soon as the iron-black straight sword left his hand, his reason and clarity reoccupied his mind:

"I almost forgot that Franka herself couldn't escape the gray fog...

"If I go out by myself, even if I can catch up with Harrison, without an external brain and a strategy in advance, the Sword of Courage will become my biggest problem...

"Although Franka was also anxious to catch Harrison, she still maintained enough rationality to quickly analyze the current situation and make accurate judgments..."

As soon as Lumian caught the "Black Tear", he immediately stuffed it back into the independent space in the "Traveler's Bag", and then with the help of Franka, he also put away the "Sword of Courage".

He then pulled Franka through the gray fog and returned to the slope leading to the ancient tomb.

While Lumian relied on the tracking ability of "Hunter" to find Harrison, Franka was also using divination to obtain clues.

But after the visitor from Easter Island left the huge tomb containing the "Samaritan Woman's Fountain", he completely disappeared and completed the counter-divination.

Lumian and Franca didn't stop until they found the "Chrismona Night Pillar" on the third floor and looked at each other.

There was undisguised disappointment and regret in Franka's blue eyes. She sighed and said:

"I should have called Janna and asked her to lurk outside the tomb so that we could have blocked Harrison."

Lumian comforted Franca:
"Given the strength Harrison has shown, we should be thankful that Janna is not hiding outside alone. Otherwise, she would have been discovered and attacked, and might not have survived until we leave the Samaritan Woman's Fountain."

"That's right..." Franka sighed deeply.

Holding the white candle, she glanced left and right, and translated the two spells she heard to Lumian.

Lumian took out a new candle and lit it while thinking:

“Stealing the secrets of heaven… He also tried to steal my ‘Traveler’s Bag’… Did he sense the presence of valuables and thus figure out my hiding?

"From this point of view, Harrison is more like a Beyonder of the 'Thief' Path, but he can also use the power of the 'Death' Path, and it is quite powerful.

"The 'Thief' Beyonder we encountered before, even at the Sequence 5 'Dream Thief', could not perform at this level, and Harrison obviously does not have divinity... Is this the improvement brought by the Celestial Master's Mark?"

Franka said thoughtfully:

"After the Black Witch told me that the Origin can modify the performance of the abilities of the Witch's different sequences to a certain extent, I wrote to Ms. Judgment to discuss this matter. She said that it is not only the true God who can do similar things, but also some Angel Kings. Amon once tampered with the mystical knowledge and some abilities obtained by the Thief's different sequences.

"What Harrison is showing now is the original, complete version?"

“That could be a reason, but I feel like some of his performances just now have surpassed Sequence 5. Even a complete Dream Thief wouldn’t be able to do that…Is there a big difference between the way Easter Island uses and expresses its power and the Way of God?” Lumian said after careful consideration.
