Chapter 534 I Grant You Death! (Please Subscribe)

Look, look over here!

Audrey, like a startled little rabbit, hurriedly looked away.

Then it dawned on her: Mr. 'Strength' was one of her own, so why was she avoiding him?
So Audrey looked toward that corner again.

'Huh, where did it go?'

From the moment she looked away to the moment she looked back, it was only a second or two, and the outline in the shadow of the wall had disappeared.

Audrey examined the area carefully several times, but could no longer find any trace of Mr. 'Power'.

"What are you looking for?"

A clear, cold sound, like the sound of shattered jade striking each other, suddenly rang in her ears, startling Audrey.

Who?
Audrey quickly turned her head, but found no one beside her.

The nearest person in black robes was two or three meters away from her.

"Don't move, I'm about to leak!"

The voice rang in her ears again, and this time Audrey heard it clearly.

It's the voice of Mr. "Power"!

Audrey's eyes lit up. He's here! The man has arrived!

Then another thought popped into my mind: How come Mr. 'Power' has such a nice voice?

Audrey had heard Mr. 'Power's' voice before when she was above the gray fog, but it was nothing like the feeling she had now.

Like a clear spring in a dry desert, it brings a moment of peace when you're feeling down.

"Didn't I tell you not to move around? If you move again, I'll be caught!"

Audrey suddenly felt a hand emerge from her hood and press down on her neck as she looked around.

An extra hand appeared from inside the hood?

Audrey's body froze instantly!
It's Mr. 'Strength', how did he do it?
"Good, hold this position and try not to make any big movements."

Mr. Power's voice rang out again, and the hand behind his neck disappeared.

Audrey's body remained tense; she seemed to know where Mr. 'Strength' was hiding.

She slowly extended her arm from her black robe, only to find a man's hand in front of her.

A hand with distinct joints, long and strong.

"Did you find out so quickly?"

Mr. 'Power's' voice seemed somewhat surprised: "As expected of an extraordinary individual through the 'spectator' pathway, your observation skills are truly keen!"

To Audrey's astonishment, the man's hand slowly moved downwards, revealing her own hand.

'That's really true!'

'Mr. Power is hidden inside my body!'

Audrey was shocked by this mysterious method.

how did you do that?
What exactly is the origin of Mr. 'Power' as an extraordinary being?
"Don't tense your muscles, relax. Also, remember not to eat cold food these next few days."

The clear voice of 'Power' rang in her ears again. Audrey suppressed her doubts and whispered:

"Mr. Power, how did you know it was me?"

Audrey recognized Mr. Power because he didn't hide his face, but how did Mr. Power recognize her?
And this was all while she was hiding under a black robe.

"It's a feeling. Miss 'Justice' has a very special aura, like a firefly in the dark. I spotted you from far away!"

"And that 'audience' quality about you is too obvious."

What does the "audience" characteristic mean?

Do the characteristics of extraordinary beings also have flavor?
Seemingly sensing Audrey's confusion, Mr. 'Strength' continued:

“Ordinary extraordinary beings would not be able to detect this scent, but I recently hunted down a 'psychologist' from the audience pathway who is very sensitive to this scent.”

"Oh, right, 'psychiatrist' is sequence 7 of the audience pathway."

Audrey's breath hitched.

She almost forgot that this was a powerful assassin!
Mr. 'Power' is here today to hunt down Mr. A, the organizer of the secret gathering.

Thinking of this, Audrey's gaze unconsciously drifted to the figure in black robes on the single sofa.

"Don't look at him. Your current sequence is too low. Although having 'the audience' can reduce your presence, this kind of gaze is still too obvious."

Audrey's vision went black as a hand covered her eyes.

It's Mr. 'Strength's' hand!
Audrey sniffed, and a faint fragrance entered her nasal cavity.

After she finished inhaling, she realized what she had done, and a blush spread across her cheeks.

'Mr. Power probably hasn't noticed, has he?'

Audrey's heart skipped a beat, and a hint of tension appeared in her eyes.

Fortunately, Mr. 'Power' didn't seem to notice her little trick.

The hand in front of her disappeared, and Audrey stopped looking at Mr. A and began to carefully observe the body under the black robe.

Beneath the loose black robe, Mr. 'Strength' and her body overlapped.

Because of the difference in body size between men and women, Audrey's body was completely covered.

'Does that mean I'm currently inside Mr. Power's body?'

This unusual position gave Audrey some wild thoughts.

Mu Sheng noticed that Miss 'Justice' suddenly had a faster heartbeat and a higher body temperature, and he also realized the girl's unspeakable feelings.

However, at this moment, his mind was entirely focused on Mr. A, and he had no time to savor this unripe fruit.

A few minutes later, Mr. A, who was sitting on the single sofa, suddenly spoke:
"Now it's a break, you can chat freely!"

After saying that, Mr. A got up and left, walking alone towards the outside of the gathering place.

"Want to see a battle between Sequence 5s? Then follow along!"

A clear, cold voice rang out inside Audrey's skull. Without much hesitation, she got up and followed.

If it weren't to watch this battle, why would she risk attending today's gathering?

Guided by Mr. 'Power', Audrey walked through the corridor, down the stairs, and soon arrived at the garden behind the Viscount's mansion.

"Stop, this is the place. It won't be safe for you if you go any further."

Audrey obediently stopped, and then a familiar figure appeared in front of her in a flash.

He looked at the 'Power' man in front of him with curiosity.

This was the first time Audrey had ever seen members of the Tarot Club in real life.

"Let me find you a good spot."

Mu Sheng looked around and spotted a marble pillar at the garden entrance.

Then, he put his hand on Audrey's shoulder, activated his 'time traveler' ability, and stuffed the girl entirely into the pillar.

"Don't move around, be careful not to expose yourself!"

Mu Sheng casually gave a brief instruction and then chased after Mr. A, who had already reached the center of the garden.

Audrey then realized what had happened.

I've actually walked into a stone pillar!

Audrey observed her situation with surprise; she was now in the top two meters of a four- or five-meter-high stone pillar.

This vantage point offers a perfect panoramic view of the entire garden.

"It's clearly a pillar, but the part I'm in feels like air; I can pass right through it."

Audrey casually waved her arm, and it appeared outside the stone pillar.

She then hopped and skipped a few more times, feeling the hard texture of marble beneath her feet. "...But this part under my feet is solid. What kind of ability is this?"

Audrey was becoming increasingly curious about Mr. 'Strength'; he was like a blind box, you never knew what you would find inside.

Just then, the commotion in the garden drew her attention.

Mr. 'Strength' and Mr. A are fighting!
"boom!"

A four- or five-meter-long fiery python appeared out of thin air and flew straight toward Mr. A.

The sudden scorching heat instantly activated Mr. A's fighting instincts.

Mr. A, who was about to comfort the lady of the viscount's mansion, had no time to think about why he had been attacked.

His body suddenly swelled up, his skin turned dark black, two curved goat horns with eerie patterns grew on his head, and wings that smelled of sulfur flapped behind him.

It transformed into a three-meter-tall demonic creature.

This is the transformation ability of Criminal Path Sequence 6 'Devil'!

"Bang!!!"

The next second, the fire python exploded, engulfing the demonized Mr. A completely.

A moment later, the flames subsided, revealing a charred, horned demon.

Surprisingly, the fire python didn't cause Mr. A much harm!
"Demon transformation, is this the 'Shepherd' of the Mystic Path?"

"This sequence is really cheesy!"

A lithe figure appeared before Mr. A, accompanied by a voice.

"Who are you? Why did you attack me?"

Mr. A was certain that he did not know the attacker in front of him.

"Does it matter?"

Mu Sheng shrugged: "Does the Aurora Society have to explain why they kill someone before they do it?"

Mr. A's face turned cold: "Manipulating flames, the 'arsonist' of the Hunter's Path, are you a member of the Rune noble faction?"

"Guess?" Mu Sheng grinned, then summoned another icy spear and hurled it at Mr. A.

"Ice... could it be a magician?"

Mr. A deactivated his demonic form and raised his hand to release a wind blade to defend himself.

The spear, shrouded in icy cold, collided with the whistling wind blades, creating an explosion in mid-air.

"Bang! Click!"

The icy spear shattered, exploding into countless ice shards, and the wind blades dissipated as well.

"It should be working."

Mr. A stared intently at the attacker in front of him, wanting to see the man suffer in agony.

However, the opponent showed no unusual reaction and instead summoned a thunder sword to blast at them.

Zizzi~

Click~

The blazing white lightning illuminated the entire garden, and the streaks of lightning that shot out scorched the ground, leaving one blackened mark after another.

Mr. A's expression immediately changed. This was something that a 'master of tricks' could not do, not even a Sequence 5 of the same path could do.

"Boom!!!"

The lightning struck the target in an instant, blasting Mr. A's body into pieces.

"What a terrible thunder!"

Standing among the stone pillars at the garden entrance, Audrey stared wide-eyed, somewhat incredulous. A Sequence 5 had died so simply?

Just then, she seemed to see something and cried out in terror, "He's not dead! Be careful!"

In the center of the garden, on the battlefield where the lightning had not yet dissipated.

Mr. A, who was supposed to be dead, suddenly appeared behind Mu Sheng, holding a flesh-and-blood blade, and stabbed him in the back.

"Pfft~"

Mr. A's blood-stained blade pierced through Mu Sheng's body, and then his entire body was pierced through as well.

Mr. A was like someone who had pierced a bubble; not only did he fail to harm the enemy, but he also made a mistake in his own actions.

However, before Mr. A could react, a mouthful of blood gushed out of his mouth.

"Pfft~"

Bright red blood was splattered on the ground, soaking large areas of land.

Behind Mr. A, Mu Sheng stood quietly, clutching a heart in his right hand—Mr. A's heart.

There was also a long string of blood vessels attached to his heart, which was why Mr. A vomited a large amount of blood.

"Stands, teleportation, flesh manipulation, and the ability you used to influence my mind and plant a disease within me."

"Such a variety of abilities, Mr. A of the Aurora Society is quite the shepherd!"

clap clap clap!
Mu Sheng clapped his hands with a smile on his face: "To thank you for your performance, let me grant you eternal death!"

A chill ran through Mr. A’s mind; the threat of death completely overwhelmed his consciousness.

Really will die!

Mr. A dared not play dead any longer. The 6th sequence of the 'Shepherd' is 'Rose Bishop', a sequence that excels in flesh magic.

Mr. A could even crush his own body into a meat patty, but the absence of a heart wouldn't cause him fatal damage.

Mr. A originally planned to launch a sneak attack when the other party got close, detonating a large number of flesh bombs to kill him.

However, the sense of crisis that felt like the arrival of an evil god immediately dispelled all his plans.

escape!
We must get out of this area!

Otherwise, you'll die!!!
Mr. A's heart was pounding with alarm bells as his spirituality, woven together by his sequence abilities, permeated his entire body.

As his flesh and blood melted, Mr. A was about to transform his body into liquid and escape underground from this land of death.

Just then, a cold voice pierced his mind.

"Star Catcher!"

The 'travel' ability, enhanced by the 6th position of the sequence, transformed Mu Sheng's body into countless streaks of light and shadow.

These lights and shadows spread throughout the garden, then instantly receded inward, coalescing into a figure in front of Mr. A.

"I gladly accept your gift!"

Mu Sheng held the extraordinary item, stained red with blood, in his hand and expressed his gratitude to Mr. A.

'Extraordinary characteristics have been stripped away'

A realization dawned on Mr. A, and he instinctively raised his hand, wanting to wrest his unique characteristics back from Mu Sheng's grasp.

"Cough~ Hehe~"

"My Strength"

Just as his fingers were about to touch the 'Shepherd's' property, Mr. A's body suddenly disintegrated and turned into a pool of blood.

Mr. A, the number one divine messenger of the Aurora Society, is dead!

[Sequence 6: Blacksmith (1/3)]

[Sequence 5: Blank (1/3)]

After absorbing Mr. A's extraordinary characteristics, Mu Sheng suddenly looked up at the sky and sensed several rapidly approaching auras.

"It's time to leave."
