Mystery: The Undead Don't Die from Linking the Fire

Chapter 82 You fucking shut me up

Mr. A was smiling very happily.

He hadn't seen anyone bold enough to assassinate him in a long time.

Especially since they did it so openly and honestly.

"Tap tap!"

Hurried footsteps came from outside the room; they had all been drawn there by the decoy skull.

But they were ultimately unable to enter the room.

Because, without anyone noticing, two milky-white soul jellyfish had silently appeared in the shadows.

Shortly afterward, panicked exclamations and screams came from outside the door.

"That's interesting."

Mr. A noticed the commotion outside the door, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Looks like you have other helpers, but are you really that confident you can..."

"puff!"

The icy blue longsword sliced ​​across Mr. A's neck, and his head, still showing a look of astonishment, flew off in the direction the sword had been swung.

Mr. A is dead.

But he didn't die.

"Didn't your god teach you to listen to people and let them finish speaking?!"

A sinister, suppressed voice of anger emanated from Mr. A's body.

The headless corpse's abdomen was ripped open, and two arms covered in a thick, bloody liquid emerged from inside.

Through the bloody, mangled hole in the abdomen, the owner of those two arms could be clearly seen—

A humanoid monster that looks like it's made of skinned flesh and blood.

It's like a person who has been skinned alive, curled up and squeezed into a ball, forming a mass of flesh.

This is the real Mr. A!

Prior to this, Ember, who was already familiar with the 'Secret Prayer' pathway from the Church of the Night, immediately thought of the corresponding ability.

Sequence 6, Rose Bishop, skilled in flesh magic.

Each "Rose Bishop" is an expert in flesh magic, capable of transforming into pure flesh and blood to penetrate the bodies of others, thereby evading various forms of detection.

This may be why he was able to evade the investigations of countless extraordinary individuals in Backlund.

However, there are also drawbacks to doing this.

That is, when he emerges, the host will die as a result.

Furthermore, he needs to replenish his flesh and blood in a timely manner to fully unleash his extraordinary abilities.

"Ring ring!"

Ember quickly took out the sacred bell that the Dragon Girl had given him and shook it gently.

A series of purple halos with strange patterns rose from beneath his feet and quickly spread throughout his body.

In the end, the purple magic circle bound Yu Jin tightly like shackles.

The fleshy monster that crawled halfway out of the headless corpse also received this honor.

[The Silence Prohibition]

The miracles passed down by the black-haired witch Belga.

It can seal the spells of those around it, along with itself.

It is said that the goddess of sin, Belga, was a heretic,

However, because he was well-versed in all the secret arts of the past and present,

And it wields considerable influence among the gods.

"..."

Mr. A fell silent instantly, even halting his crawling motion.

"Do you need any help?"

Ember offered a very thoughtful greeting.

Mr. A, now a flesh-and-blood monster, felt no warmth from Ember, only a chill running down his spine.

After all, he was just a lump of flesh and blood without skin, so he would naturally feel extremely cold when the wind blew.

But what's more terrifying than a chill down your spine is a chill in your heart.

The "Mystic" pathway has almost no particularly powerful attack methods in the lower sequences, and can almost be considered one of the weakest sequences.

However, once they reach the middle ranks, their combat power will undergo a qualitative change.

For example, the 'Rose Bishop' of Sequence 6 is proficient in all kinds of flesh magic.

The Sequence 5 'Shepherd' can even gain the abilities of other extraordinary beings by devouring their souls.

From this stage onwards, they are almost invincible among their peers.

But the prerequisite is that they are able to use their abilities.

And now.

He was silenced—

Silence in the literal sense.

The unknown spell cast by the opponent transformed into a purple magic circle that firmly imprisoned him.

The magic array did not restrict his movements, but it did prevent him from casting any spells.

This prevented him from even transforming into human form, and instead he could only maintain his current shape as a fleshy ball with two arms.

He was in this state.

Although he looks ferocious and terrifying, he is probably not even as good as a low-sequence extraordinary being because he cannot use his abilities.

And most importantly.

At this moment, he could not hear the voice of the Lord!

"escape!"

A long-forgotten fear surged into Mr. A's heart, and only one thought remained in his mind.

"Clatter!"

The crimson fleshy ball fell to the ground, its hands bracing itself against the ground as it pushed backward, propelling its entire body forward.

Although his body looked strange and bloated, he rolled at a surprisingly fast pace.

They broke down the door and escaped almost instantly.

But Yu Jin didn't rush to catch up with Mr. A. Instead, he walked out slowly, seemingly unafraid of losing him.

Because although 'Mr. A' has disappeared.

But as he rolled on the ground, the sticky flesh and blood on his body stuck to the floor, leaving a scarlet trail.

Stepping out of the room, the connecting hall had long since transformed into a paradise of flesh and blood—

Ember saw no corpses, only swarms of monsters turned into blood and flesh.

These are servants of "Mr. A" and followers of the "True Creator".

Before they died, they revealed their "true" selves.

"Splash splash~"

The half-person-tall jellyfish floated lightly to Yu Jin's side, chattering away.

"I see."

Ember gently stroked Kurara's head and said softly, "Then please clean it up."

"Splash splash~"

Kurara jumped around happily, releasing a large amount of 'mist' that gradually spread throughout the hall.

The moment they came into contact with this "mist," the flesh and blood that had covered the walls and the ground almost instantly melted away.

Kurala is always a professional when it comes to handling the aftermath.

Not a single drop of blood will be left.

Yu Jin continued to trace the trail left by Mr. A.

He didn't flee outside; that would have been suicide.

While the assassin Ember was indeed inside the house, escaping would mean being openly exposed to the eyes of the various churches.

By then, even if he were a demigod, let alone a Sequence 5, he might not be able to survive against them.

So he had no choice but to flee to the basement of the house.

That place holds his last hope!

"Tap tap!"

Following the crimson trail, Ember crossed the broken basement door and descended the stairs.

When he arrived at the dimly lit basement, he saw two figures facing each other.

One of them was Mr. A, who had transformed into a ball of flesh and blood.

The other was a young man wearing a linen shirt.

[The True Creator] Lanius.

But when the embers reached the basement.

The two figures that were originally facing off suddenly became somewhat stiff.
