Rias shook her head. What she saw was different from what ordinary people saw; it was as if a god was adding to her power.

"I see..."

Richard remained eager and turned to look at Lu Feng, who was sitting half-on the ground.

"Are you alright?"

Lu Feng lowered his eyelids and responded in a hoarse voice.

"It's alright..."

After saying that, he seemed to think that Richard was a foreigner and wouldn't understand what he meant, so he added another sentence.

"I'm fine. If you still want to fight, that's fine too."

Upon hearing this, Richard quickly waved his hand, saying that it was only the first time the two had met, and the fight was only because he was going to see the Pale Knight.

"My partner told me that the Pale Knight has stopped again, and it seems that it is going to tour the entire Tianhai City."

Richard reached out and caught the gentle breeze that was blowing from afar.

Lu Feng got up, apparently intending to go to the location of the Pale Knight.

"You don't look very fit for combat right now."

Richard advised, looking earnestly at Lu Feng's almost severed left leg and the large amount of blood seeping from his abdomen.

Such injuries are quite serious even for a Sequencer; the skull's strength is comparable to theirs, making it a formidable opponent.

"If you insist on going, I can have my companion treat your injuries."

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng looked up and gave Richard a slightly complicated look.

"Healing me won't help you in any way in your future activities; I will still prevent you from contacting that being."

"This has nothing to do with my purpose."

He wouldn't hesitate to help even an ordinary person. Richard's gaze surprised Lu Feng. According to his ability to judge people, the other party wasn't lying.

As the green fluorescent light shone on Richard's palm, Lu Feng's leg injury visibly improved.

"Is this magic?"

"That's right. It's incredible, but that's what the sequence brings us: the imagination that comes from those legends and biographies and becomes reality."

Just a few dozen minutes ago, the two were fighting fiercely, but now the knight and the poet are sitting together peacefully.

In the picture, two little figures are sitting on the ground, with happy and harmonious emoticons appearing above their heads from time to time.

Jiang Fan took a bite of his sausage. He considered the possibility of having Rias use her four-stage yellow bar to kill the two, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.

The headless knight is definitely a higher priority to kill than either of them.

Furthermore, due to the save file being rolled back, the reward for [Side Quest 1] was also taken back.

Jiang Fan was quite interested in the [bloodstained family letter]. He really enjoyed smuggling relics; they were all valuable resources for drawing cards.

Moreover, he had just looked up the Bradford family online and found that they were one of the financial backers of Emily.

Emilyka is a huge company in itself, and Bradford is undoubtedly one of its major shareholders. They wield terrifying wealth and power, making them a behemoth spanning three continents: Europe, Asia, and America.

Such an existence must be for the pursuit of ultimate profit. For a third-order entity like the Headless Horseman to be used as a means of information transmission, the relics being smuggled must be extremely valuable.

After the third act ends, it's a good time to go and see what it is.

However, the coordinates obtained from killing the Dance of Death in side quest 2 kept moving, which made Jiang Fan feel that something was wrong.

Could this offering be a living being?

Soon, the two little figures in the picture stood up again and headed towards Tianhai High School.

This time, Jiang Fan did not choose to travel through the Barrier of Death. When they arrived again, they found that there were many more red and green dots on the minimap.

Due to display limitations, the game console could only show a bunch of little people standing on the playground from a horizontal screen.

As Lu Feng and his two companions entered, these people also noticed them.

Among these little figures, several had names on their heads, which were people Jiang Fan knew in real life.

The team includes Xu Jingtian and Jiang Yang from the [Nine Cauldrons] squad, as well as Liu Huo, the leader of the third strategy group, all of whom are second-tier members.

There were five third-order individuals present.

They are Xiao Ci, Richard, Lu Feng, Death Knight, and Robin Hood.

It can be said that all the strongest fighting forces in the entire Tianhai City are here.

Standing in the middle of Xiao Ci and the others was a strange man wearing a cloak.

Jiang Fan felt a sense of familiarity with this strange man; he seemed to have seen him somewhere before.

That's right, at the very beginning of Act 3, Rias was guided by the child to the Barrier of Death. Just as she was about to enter the Barrier of Death, she saw a person who looked like a boatman and was holding a scythe.

His entire face was shrouded in that huge cloak.

The only difference is that the strange man isn't carrying a scythe now.

He was also surrounded by Xiao Ci's men.

These people were all injured, and it seemed that they were being suppressed quite severely by this strange man.

[The last sacrifice has been discovered, "Charon the Guide," who has taken over the body of "Doctor Birdbeak." He is currently in a transitional phase. If the Pale Knight stays here for another 10 minutes, he will fully evolve into the 4th-tier "Charon."]

Holy crap, that birdman Kovis was actually turned into a vessel for Charon?

Charon was the son of Erebus, the god of darkness, and Nyx, the goddess of night, in Greek mythology. Although his role was that of a ferryman, he played a significant role in the myth.

This was unexpected for Jiang Fan. He thought the person behind it had some other reason for rescuing Kovis, but he didn't expect that it was just a final step in the ritual.

Moreover, Charon was clearly summoned through abnormal means, which may be related to the abilities of the contracted moon demon Mephisto.

As part of the main quest, Charon must be killed.

However, Richard and Lu Feng are not in good condition right now; their avatars in the upper right corner are somewhat dim.

This is also a pattern that Jiang Fan observed. Although the display of this game console is quite old, the game itself still provides many clues that can be observed.

When a character is in a very good state, or when he is unleashing a powerful skill, his avatar frame will also change accordingly.

For example, when Richard uses the Holy Sword Frenzy, his portrait frame will ignite with golden flames.

While Lu Feng was reciting poetry, his profile picture was framed with a silhouette resembling a fierce tiger.

But now both of their profile pictures have some cracks and bandages, clearly indicating that they have suffered considerable damage.

Xiao Ci is not part of the exclusive sequence, nor has he reached the ascending rank; his strength rating is only C++, which puts him far behind this tier.

In this situation, defeating this boss, who is about to transform into a Tier 4 boss, is extremely difficult.

Even with the use of four yellow bars, it can only unleash the burst damage of a normal Tier 3 True Name. It's enough to kill a Death Knight, but it's still far from enough to defeat this mythical Netherworld ferryman.
