Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 442 The Semi-Mysterious Puppet is Obtained
“Then I think we still need to think this through more carefully.” Mobert Zoroaster didn’t say “Let’s run away,” but said with a stern face.

"Pfft!" Roland finally couldn't help but laugh. Then he shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I don't expect Pales to do anything. Since I dared to come here, I naturally have my own trump cards."

Without further ado, Rolin began pulling items out of his pocket, explaining as he went: "This is a high-level Hunter's Path talisman, which unleashes an attack equivalent to a Conqueror's strike. This is a high-level Gate Path talisman, which seals the extraordinary abilities of others. This is a high-level Spectator Path talisman; even an angel would be stunned for a few seconds after taking a hit from it. This is a high-level Earth Path talisman; it can heal you back to life as long as you're not dead..."

After hearing this whole presentation, Mobert Zoroaster was completely dumbfounded, and the elven singer Shatas also stared wide-eyed in surprise.

Little Amon pouted and said, "It's unfair, so unfair! I don't even have this many talismans."

Xiao Ke wasn't surprised, after all, he was the one who helped organize these talismans.

After introducing the talisman, Roland took out something that looked like a wooden doll and introduced it: "This is the Cursed Doll, which was personally crafted by the God of Steam and Machinery using the Silent Disciple characteristic of Sequence 3 of the Alien Path. It is considered a Level 1 Sealed Artifact."

"Wait, brother, you're carrying a Level 1 sealed artifact with you?" Mobert Zoroaster looked at the seemingly ordinary puppet in Rolin's hand and felt his worldview being challenged. Then, as if remembering something, he said, "If I remember correctly, the negative effects of sealed artifacts of this level are terrifying, right?"

"Don't worry about that. The Cursed Doll does have some negative characteristics, but it is alive, so I can say that it has no negative effects when I use it." Roland said with a smile. As everyone knows, the negative effects of a sealed object that is alive are negligible.

After all, this kind of sealed artifact is negotiable.

Mobert Zoroaster fell silent. As a thief, he naturally knew how the high-sequence Gou family repaired living sealed artifacts. He breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the Cursed Puppet with a faint pity.

Without a doubt, the reason why the Cursed Puppet, as a first-level sealed artifact, looks so docile is because it has suffered a lot of beatings.

At this moment, Xiao Ke, who was standing next to him, subconsciously touched the "wriggling hunger" on his hand, feeling slightly guilty for some reason.

“Since you have so many good things, brother, then I have no problem with that. Let’s go hunt that sea serpent!” After a brief moment of shock, Mobert Zoroaster immediately spoke with a hint of excitement.

He could brag about the fact that Sequence 5 had overtaken Sequence 3 for ten years.

……

Today is a very unlucky day for Kavituwa.

It was sitting in the ruins as usual, enjoying the offerings from the believers, while pondering whether to kill a couple of believers to cheer itself up.

As a result, unexpectedly, Kavituwa sensed that something important had been taken away by someone else, and its state became unstable as a result.

It was only then that Kavituwa suddenly realized that the ruins it was in were not isolated; there was another ruin elsewhere, and that there was something closely related to it in that ruin, which had obviously been taken away.

Upon discovering this, Kavituvan was furious. He immediately contacted his followers abroad to search for the lost items. Being half-mad, he did not bother to suppress his anger but instead vented it directly.

In any case, all believers are just unimportant韭菜 (leeks, a metaphor for easily exploited people), and even if they are gone, it can find new ones.

However, just as Kavituwa was venting its anger, it suddenly sensed something was wrong. A force suddenly invaded its body, trying to transform it into something else.

Kavituwa, of course, wouldn't let this happen. Silver lightning instantly crackled around his body, resisting the curse from the Silent Disciple. As a fellow Sequence 3 being, even in poor condition, Kavituwa wouldn't be turned into a sheep without any resistance.

The curse was clearly just the beginning. Immediately afterward, crimson flames descended from the sky, transforming into countless flaming spears that hurtled towards Kavituwa—power surpassing Sequence 3. Kavituwa's enormous serpentine eyes constricted at that moment, and his massive body was engulfed in flames in the next instant.

……

For Rolin, dealing with Kavituva was naturally not a problem. Although he was just an ordinary Sequence 6 at the moment, with his divine equipment, he could easily defeat a half-crippled Sequence 3.

The only thing Rolin should be careful about is not to go too far and accidentally kill Kavituwa.

After all, a dead Kavituwa cannot be a secret puppet.

Fortunately, Kavituwa was quite tough, and with Rolin showing some restraint, after several rounds of attacks, the dying sea serpent, though nearly defeated, was not truly finished.

“Then the final step…” Roland flipped his hand, revealing several spectator pathway talismans. Given the strength of Kavituwa’s spirit, weakening its spirit strength was necessary for Little K to successfully turn it into a puppet.

And the ability to reach audiences is clearly a perfect fit for this field.

"Mental deprivation!" "Mental storm!" "Mental piercing!"

After several spectators cast their spells, Rolin checked Kavituwa's condition again. Confirming that He was indeed in a state of extreme weakness, he looked at Little K and said, "Your turn, Gehrman!"

“Hmm.” Little K nodded. He took a deep breath. Although he was slightly nervous, he had no intention of backing down. He walked to Kavituwa’s side and began to manipulate Kavituwa’s spiritual threads.

This is not a simple matter. The gap between Sequence 5 and Sequence 3 is too great. Even though Kavituwa has been weakened to the point of having only a sliver of health left, its essence is still that of a demigod, which makes its spirit extremely violent and difficult to control.

Little K, however, silently tried his best to suppress Kavituwa's spirit with the Spirit Threads. Cold sweat gradually appeared on his forehead, but his expression became increasingly calm.

After a while, Xiao Ke suddenly raised his hand and moved his fingers a few times like he was manipulating a puppet.

The next second, Kavitova's massive body moved, clearly following Klein's control.

"Did it work?" Rowling asked immediately, still very concerned about Little K's situation.

Little Amon, standing nearby, also cast a concerned glance.

"Hmm, mission accomplished." Little K couldn't help but smile at this moment. He then seemed to think for a few seconds, and his fingers moved again. Kavituwan's huge body began to shrink, eventually shrinking to the size of a human.

This made Xiao Ke frown, but there was nothing wrong with it.

With his current Faceless Man abilities, he is not yet able to further alter Kavituwa's physique.

Fortunately, compared to the enormous mountain it was at the beginning, the current Kavituwa is not so imposing in size, and at least it is still relatively easy to carry.
