Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 329 The Very Banana-like Side Effects

"This is so inspiring!" Serres exclaimed, tears welling in his eyes. "Don't fall, Julian!"

Yulisian roared again and lunged forward, trying to get past Grosser.

However, the light of dawn erupted once more, and Grosser, wielding his greatsword, charged towards the Frost Dragon, unleashing a frenzied barrage of slashes as if possessed by Sekiro, and began to clash swords with Yulisian.

Bang bang bang!
The sound of hammering echoed continuously.

Grosser was only one meter shorter than Yurisian in his non-humanoid state, and his strength was equally exaggerated. In the continuous collisions with the opponent's front paws, although he swayed and retreated noticeably, he was able to recover quickly, stride forward again, and entangle his opponent.

Golden, illusory wings unfurled behind him without his knowledge, and his entire body was bathed in a golden glow.

This brought his power to an unprecedented peak.

With the giant guardians blocking the way, the others were able to respond more calmly.

Mobert raised his hand again, and Julian hesitated in mid-air.

Its next thought was stolen.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Grosser swung his middle whip and struck Yulisian on the side of the face, turning his face to the side to face the Punisher Knight Longzel, who was already poised to strike.

Long Ze'er prepared himself and hurled the iron sword in his hand forward.

"death penalty!"

At the same time, the ascetic Snowman clasped his hands together in front of his chest:

"God said that death will purify everything!"

The iron sword pierced through the crack created by Shatas's earlier attack, embedding itself in Yurisian's skull, preventing it from "cutting off its tail to survive" as before.

Julian immediately let out a scream, and death was sealed.

But the "King of the North" was not willing to die just like that.

It glanced at Serres, its eyes filled with sorrow.

Yurisian's scream quickly turned into a huge roar, its scales cracked, and its body emitted a multicolored light, mainly dark blue.

It's about to self-destruct!
Yulisian looked at Serres.

Take this! This is my last Ripple! JOJO!

A massive blizzard suddenly swept through the theater, making it impossible to see anything more than 5 meters away.

The howling wind whipped up a dense swirling of "goose feathers," filling every inch of space. At the same time, an icy blue halo rapidly expanded, extending outwards along the ground. Wherever it passed, anything that came into contact with it would freeze into an ice sculpture from the bottom up.

Within this confined space, this is undoubtedly a deadly move.

Klein gently wiped his face, and a mask replaced his monocle, appearing on his face.

Beneath the mask, his pupils, already showing spiderweb-like patterns, reflected Yurian's entire body.

The next second, Klein closed his eyes.

boom!
Yurisian self-destructed, but it didn't even cause a ripple.

Klein used the [Selfless Jester] ability to turn Yulisian from "real" to "false".

[The Recalling Artist] turns fantasy into reality, while [The Selfless Jester] defines reality as falsehood.

False illusions cannot harm people in reality.

Grosser and the others were turned into ice sculptures, but they simply raised their hands and emerged from the ice that had frozen them.

After everyone was freed from their "shackles," Klein landed back on the ground, opened his eyes, and the mask disappeared from his face, transforming back into a monocle.

The Dominion Theater vanished as quickly as a watercolor painting on glass, and everyone returned to the snow. Beside Yurisian's corpse, streaks of pale blue to white light swirled and stirred the blood and flesh that had long since smeared the ground, moving swiftly and soon transforming the enormous dragon corpse into a thick, tall, snow-covered double door.

Without needing to be reminded, all the extraordinary individuals present knew that this was the gateway to the outside world.

Klein looked around and found that the pale blue blood that the "King of the North" had previously shed was completely gone, as if it had never existed.

Mobert moved closer, his eyes seemingly shining with admiration.

"Damn, your support is just too damn good... uh... banana?"

Mobert suddenly stopped speaking.

"Banana...banana? Why am I..."

“A minor side effect.” Klein smiled and nodded.

The light cone he was using was the same one from a few months ago called "Qi Xiang Banana Paradise," so it had a slight side effect.

"Ah...it's nothing." Mobert waved his hand. "It's too easy for such a powerful ability to have only such a small side effect from bananas."

Shatas wanted to say something, but seeing Mobert's current state, she kept quiet.

Grosser, however, didn't care and let out a "banana banana" laugh.

Longzel turned his head left and right, trying to find Serres who had been cheering for Yulisian in the Domination Theater, but Serres was nowhere to be seen.

“He’s probably gone.” Snowman patted Longzel on the shoulder. “Don’t worry about him, let’s go.”

After saying that, he walked to the gate, exerted his strength, and pushed the snow-covered gate open.

Without a sound, everything that everyone saw became illusory, then transparent, and disappeared.

Klein was very familiar with this feeling; he experienced it several times a week in the simulated universe.

As their vision returned, rows of brownish-yellow bookshelves quickly came into view, as did the orange sun that had already set below the horizon outside the window, and a table with pens, ink bottles, and papers on it.

Grosser reacted quickly and ducked down, thus avoiding hitting the ceiling.

This is Klein's "boudoir".

Klein and his companions quickly turned their attention to the center of the table, where a book bound together from brown parchment lay open.

The book was turned by an invisible wind, reaching the last page, and Klein and the others then saw the ending:

"With the help of the great magician, Grosser fulfilled his promise and led his teammates to kill the 'King of the North'."

"This book doesn't give us our ending. Shatas, where do you want to go next?" Mobert tilted his head to read the contents, then turned to ask the elven singer.

"Yo yo yo." Paddo the cat popped out of Klein's pocket and made a teasing sound.

Mobert tossed his hair in a flamboyant manner: "It wasn't easy for me to win her over."

Shatas's gaze suddenly wavered for several seconds before she said firmly, "Find my people."

But before she could finish speaking, she suddenly saw Mobert's flaxen hair turning white rapidly, and noticed obvious wrinkles appearing on his once smooth face.

In the blink of an eye, Mobert in her eyes had aged to the point of death.

Klein had foreseen this; he took off his monocle, turned it into a mask in his hand, and gently put it on his face.

At the same time, several candy knights appeared behind Klein.

Their appearance changed rapidly, transforming into Grosser and others.
