Mystery: Big Alarm Clock Ghroth Path

Chapter 151 A Rich Harvest (Two in One)

This made Roger feel a little uneasy.

If I hadn't acted decisively just now, my entire body of flesh and blood would probably have been affected by the part of flesh and blood that served as a shield and would have collapsed.

Because this defeat was so rapid and affected the entire body, Roger could not even escape by separating the "clean" flesh and blood.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the "puppet" Zatvin came close to Roger, and the right half of his body opened layer by layer like a mechanism, forming a hollow and strange "box", as if he intended to trap Roger in it and strangle him.

Through the series of tests just now, Zatvin was able to determine that Roger had not reached the level of Sequence 4 "Black Knight" and was most likely just a "Shepherd".

This means that he has two ways to kill or seriously injure Roger.

The first is to hurt the opponent's soul, and the second is to destroy most of the opponent's body.

Zatvin apparently tried the second approach.

Even if Roger used some extraordinary items or abilities to preserve some of his flesh and blood and escape, it didn't matter.

Because Zatvin's goal has always been to kill the "Temperance" members of the Rose School, not to kill other enemies that stand in his way!

Faced with this situation, Roger immediately used "Fate Leap" to exchange his own fate with a pre-arranged record with "Four Seasons Autumn" engraved on it!
As Roger flashed into the darkness not far away, a record in the cabinet at No. 15 Minsk Street suddenly shattered.

"What kind of Beyonder ability is this? Is it the Crimson Scholar's ability to appear by moonlight?"

Zatvin immediately grasped the information and thought quickly, but suddenly felt his body sink.

It turned out that at the same time as the mechanism in his body opened up, the flesh and blood fragments from the exploded zombies had gathered together again and turned into a strange huge "blanket", which wrapped around Zatwin's body and delayed his actions.

The one who actually controlled those corpses was not Maric in the distance, but Roger himself.

He used his own flesh and blood to parasitize these corpses, transforming them into half-living and half-dead puppets. This also allowed him to erode and assimilate part of their flesh and blood, expanding the range and intensity of the flesh and blood magic.

According to Roger's pre-designed plan, a huge mouth suddenly appeared above the flesh and blood "blanket"!
The mouth has no facial features, but is connected by a pure "flesh and blood" tube.

No one knew where the pipe led to below. One could only vaguely see that it had merged into the pool of flesh and blood that had been completely disfigured.

As Roger's eyes suddenly turned iron black, an extremely loud explosion resounded in the alley!
The explosion echoed rapidly in the narrow alley at a speed of more than 300 meters per second, and instantly intertwined into a killing web, covering Zatwin with the "weakness insight" and "harvest" buffs granted by the "Blood Cross Brooch"!

While Zatwin was distracted, Roger pulled out his "Life-Gambling Revolver", quickly ejected a bullet from it, closed it, and rotated the cylinder.

Then he lifted up his clothes, quickly pointed the gun at his chest, and pulled the trigger!

A red light burst out, and a bloody hole immediately appeared on Roger's chest.

However, the blood hole solidified and healed almost instantly, and Roger's "fortune" also rose rapidly.

Although the fortune gained through this kind of "survival by self-harm" is not as exaggerated as when he successfully selected the "one" in the "six-choice wheel", it has already made Roger's current fortune suddenly rise to an outrageous level!

Then Roger immediately put down his clothes, put away his pistol, closed his eyes, and activated the "Fortune Amplification".

This made Roger's "luck", which had already soared to an extremely high point, rise again!
Not far away, Zatwin, who had been driven mad by the "Crimson Moon Corona", was successfully attacked by the "mental boost" that was strengthened by at least three levels, and his mind became unstable for a while.

However, this instability did not last long.

Zatvin's expression suddenly became calm and indifferent without any warning, and he ignored the attack of "Psychic Boost" like a corpse.

At the same time, a transparent figure escaped from his body, and for a moment the soul and the flesh were separated.

Zatvin used this separation to avoid the attack of "mental supercharge" on his mind.

Not only that, his spirit and body formed a synchronized unity of movement, it looked as if the former was manipulating the latter like a puppet!
In the battle just now, Zatvin keenly realized that Roger possessed the ability of the "Rose Bishop" and completed the prerequisites for the curse by using the hidden weapon to come into contact with the latter's flesh and blood.

Through this connection, Zatwin's body became the source of the curse, feeding back the subsequent "mental boost" that continued unabated to Roger, the caster.

Since the previous strategy of trying to destroy Roger's body failed, he would use the "puppet" ability to set a trap and let Roger's own soul be hit by his own ability!
However, Roger had anticipated this, because he had just used "Fate Leap" and was being intensively instilled with the "positive energy" rules contained in "Four Seasons · Autumn".

This infusion offset most of the impact of the "mental boost" fed back by Zatvin, but the remaining part still made Roger's body tremble, and then he staggered and knelt on the ground.

Not far away, a cold light suddenly flashed around Zatwin's body, which had turned into a "puppet", as if some internal mechanism was activated, completely chopping and disintegrating the flesh and blood magic carpet that had already consumed all its light energy.

On the other hand, all the inanimate objects in the alley, including but not limited to the hidden steel needle that had just fallen to the ground, the trash can in the distance, and Roger's belt and windbreaker collar, began to move in a commotion.

Under the command of the "puppet", they all "focused" on Roger, who was lying on the ground and looked listless.

That was their common enemy. As long as Zatwin had a thought, these objects would fly over or strangle Roger at the same time, forcing him to self-destruct.

As long as Roger himself turned into blood mist, Zatwin could use another mechanism on his body to absorb them all into his body and complete the final kill on Roger.

But before the demigod could take any further action, he immediately felt his mind buzzing and his thoughts became stagnant.

He fell into ignorance!

Previously, Roger had survived the extreme shooting of the "Gambling Revolver" with the help of the self-repair ability of the "Rose Bishop". His surging luck allowed him to capture the location of the "ghost" separated by Zatvin, and at the same time made the small probability event of the "Shit Stirrer" ability to control the Sequence 4 Demigod become a reality.

This is actually a weakness of the "puppet" that Miss Sharon told Roger in advance.

That is, when the "puppet's" soul is separated from its physical body, the soul loses the protection of the outer physical etheric body, and the spiritual body becomes more fragile than usual!
Seeing that Zatwin's originally transparent "ghost" began to appear and disappear, Roger sang a song with a sense of fear loudly, and at the same time, holding a huge "Sword of Dawn" and slashing towards Zatwin's physical body in the face.

This is the attack effect of the extraordinary item "Dawn Armguard" corresponding to the "Giant" path sequence 6 "Dawn Knight"!

Because the "Sword of Dawn" is very effective against spirits and can even injure evil spirits, even a Sequence 4 "Ghost" will be significantly affected.

Under normal circumstances, Zatvin would not remain a resentful spirit under the pressure of the "Sword of Dawn", but would end his manipulation of the "puppet" and return to his body.

But now, because he is affected by the "stupid" effect of the "Troublemaker" ability, his thinking ability has declined a lot compared to usual.

This made it possible for Roger to use the power of "middle voice singing" to influence Zattwin's mind!

As expected, the moment Zatvin heard the song with terrifying connotations, he suddenly felt a great fear of the sword light in front of him.

This fear was actually his instinctive fear of the "Sword of Dawn" as a "vengeful spirit", and it was not very strong at first.

But at this time, under the influence of the "ignorance" effect, this fear was suddenly magnified.

Not only that, Zatvin couldn't even tell where this fear came from, nor could he trace the corresponding cause and effect. He only knew that the target of the chop was his own flesh!
So not only did he not return to his body, but he tried to use the special ability of "puppet" to transfer the damage of "Sword of Dawn" to Roger!

However, this behavior was exactly what Roger wanted.

The sword he had swung downward suddenly turned, and his body rolled behind the puppet-like Zatvin, stabbing the Sword of Dawn straight into the ground.

The giant sword then disintegrated, and a terrifying storm of light spread out on the spot!
Roger restricted the direction of the storm to Zatvin's soul and avoided his body.

In the storm, there were countless bright and fragmented rays of morning light.

They formed a shimmering and violent wave, which instantly submerged Zatwin, who had turned into a "vengeful spirit".

This storm of light is the most powerful attack of the "Dawn Knight". It can not only cut the human body and evil into pieces, but can even destroy resentful souls and even kill the evil spirits transformed by high-sequence strongmen!

At this time, Zatvin, who was in the "ghost" state, was already in a weak state, and he was in the center of the storm where its power was the most violent.

Thanks to Roger's "good luck" that had not yet completely dissipated, Zatwin's spirit suffered huge damage in an instant!
"Huh, huh..."

Roger's actions had nearly exhausted all his strength. He looked at Zatwin's shattered soul and gasped violently. This series of moves was a "package" tailored for Zatwin based on the information Sharon had provided.

First, Roger took the initiative to demonstrate the ability of a "hermit", and used the self-destruction of zombies to actively sell the fact that he was a "secret praying man" path extraordinary person with a sequence of no less than 6.

After that, whether Roger used the Crimson Scholar's "Flash" or other abilities, it would make the other party further consider the abilities of the extraordinary people shepherded by the "shepherd" or the effects of magical items as a priority possibility.

As for the dual paths and the Outer God path, they were not within Zatvin's knowledge at all. He would naturally think that he had grasped a large part of the truth about Roger's power, and ignored the "unknown horror" that Roger deliberately concealed.

In this way, Zatvin would regard "destroying the opponent's body or harming his spirit" as a means to quickly get rid of Roger, and he made a series of corresponding attempts.

But in fact, Roger had been wary of this possibility from the beginning. Not only did he prevent Zatvin from successfully devouring his body, he also induced the other party to use "puppetry manipulation" to rebound the impact of "mental boost".

With the help of the positive energy rules of "Four Seasons Autumn" and the prior prayers to Ghroth's source material, Roger perfectly withstood this wave of attacks.

Ultimately, through this series of feints, Roger successfully induced Zatvin into a "puppetry" state and separated his soul.

Roger then deliberately exposed a flaw, allowing Zatvin to manipulate inanimate objects in the alley in a "puppetry" state, which further distracted him.

Under such a double weakening, Roger expanded his fortune through the "Life-Gambling Revolver" and successfully used the "Shit Stirrer" ability to make Zatvin stupid. He also directly endured the targeted saturation attack of the "Light Storm" in the "Ghost" state and was severely damaged.

"But then again, demigods are just fucking bastards... It's totally unjust that they can't die like this."

Roger sighed slightly as he looked at Zatwin, whose body was riddled with wounds and whose eyes were dull, but who was still relying on instinct to combine his soul and body.

Although the fusion of the two pathways of Sequence 6 can indeed kill a Sequence 5 Beyonder like Jerry Spencer, and even severely damage a demigod with sufficient intelligence, due to the upper limit of Roger's attack power, it is still difficult to truly eliminate a demigod with divine power.

"I still need to advance to Sequence 4 as soon as possible, or obtain a large amount of anchors through the spread of music... that's the only way to have a chance."

But no matter what, Roger was very satisfied with his performance today.

The combination of his various skills has been well-honed, and he is also clear about the upper limit of his current ability.

That is, it is far superior to ordinary Sequence 5, but it is still difficult to kill Sequence 4.

We cannot allow Zatvin to successfully complete the union of soul and body at the moment, as that would very likely allow him to survive.

When Roger was about to activate the ability of "Oneness of All Things", the blood moon suddenly disappeared, and the figure of Ms. Sharon appeared beside him.

The battle on the other side has also ended.

Sharon glanced at Zatwin's condition, surprise and joy appearing in her eyes at the same time.

Then she used her own seal to open a double door leading to the spirit world, and took out a silver dagger with strange patterns, and slashed it hard between Zatwen and his spirit.

This seemed to completely sever the mystical "thread" between Zatvin's soul and body, depriving him of the chance to possess a body again.

The bronze gate immediately attracted Zatvin's soul, swallowed it up, and sent it to the spirit world.

Without the support of his body, Zatvin's severely injured soul finally couldn't hold on any longer and quickly dissipated into nothingness.

"thump!"

The puppet-like body fell down heavily, completely lifeless.

"What is this? Why didn't you give it to me just now?"

Roger looked curiously at the silver dagger in Sharon's hand, which was rapidly turning black and dull. It seemed that Sharon had prepared it specifically for the purpose of finishing off Zatwin.

This is a good thing, as it saves Roger from having to endure the pressure of entering the "ring"'s field of vision when he is so tired.

"A one-time special extraordinary item, effective only when the 'Puppet' is extremely weak."

Sharon bowed solemnly to Roger:
"Thank you for your help, my Lord. You may take everything from Zatvin."

Roger nodded and squatted down.

He first removed the black glove on the opponent's left hand.

This is the item that Roger is most looking forward to, the demigod-level "Thief" path seal.

Previously, Zatvin seemed to want to use the parasitic ability of the gloves to control himself, but his spiritual intuition made him instinctively stop.

This allowed Zatvin to avoid being contaminated by the power of "The One of All Things" and "The Star of Judgment" and continued to survive for a long time.

"Let's study it again when we get back..."

Roger put on his gloves and continued to search Zatvin's pockets and collar.

I have to say, a demigod does have a lot of valuable things on him.

In addition to the "Thief" pathway seal, Roger also found a large amount of cash, five extremely pure gold coins, a cufflink seal that Ms. Sharon said should correspond to the "Abyss" Sequence 5 "Apostle of Desire", a copy each of the "Puppet" and "Silent Disciple" formulas, and a strange sheepskin map.

There was a strange symbol on the map, which seemed to point to a small island deep in the ocean.

"This symbol is the code of the Rose School, and it means 'precious'."

Ms. Sharon glanced at the sheepskin map and gave a reminder.

This made Roger quite curious.

"Could it be some treasure from the Hedonistic Sect?"

He once again asked Ms. Sharon for relevant information, but the latter said that although she was interested, she was not very clear about the specific situation.

Seeing Sharon say this, Roger had to put the matter aside for the time being and prepare to go to the sea to search for it when he had time.

At this moment, a log-colored block-shaped object also appeared in front of Zatwin's chest.

"This is the puppet's extraordinary characteristic..."

Roger took out a pre-prepared glass bottle from his pocket and carefully placed it inside.

Sharon also revealed a look of desire when she saw the extraordinary characteristics, but she turned her head away and didn't look at the thing that belonged to Roger.

On the other side, Klein also obtained the extraordinary characteristics of "Werewolf" and the "Biological Toxin Bottle".

He was relieved to see Roger back safely.

Sharon and Maric bowed respectfully to the two again, and then spoke again:
"Thank you very much for your help. The Book of Secrets as promised is in the guest room on the first floor of your house.

"With this, our deal is complete...see you later."

Roger and Klein nodded, looked at each other, and then both used their own abilities to disappear from the dock.

　End of today.
