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

Chapter 83 is about Flash; he used Flash, a once-in-a-lifetime ability!

"Damn it!"

Mr. A's heart sank immediately.

If it weren't for that idiot Lanius's refusal to go with him and his attempt to fight him instead...

He shouldn't have stayed here until now.

"I'll do it..."

"Snapped!"

Mr. A took a deep breath, and was about to speak when he was interrupted by a loud cracking sound that echoed through the basement.

The purple magic circle that bound Mr. A and Yu Jin shattered into starlight in an instant and completely dissipated.

The situation seems to have reversed.

Mr. A dared not waste this fleeting moment of battle and turned his gaze toward Lanius standing to the side.

Lanius's expression changed slightly, but he didn't have time to struggle.

His left hand suddenly exploded, turning into a shower of blood and flesh that splattered in all directions.

But in mid-air, they seemed to be drawn towards Mr. A by an invisible force, and were eventually absorbed by Mr. A.

Although not much, it was nourished by this small amount of external flesh and blood.

Mr. A was finally free from the appearance of that fleshy ball and returned to his original form.

A man with an alluring, almost feminine beauty.

"I admit it."

Mr. A slowly straightened up and sneered, "You certainly gave me trouble, but you missed your only chance!"

"Hahaha, cough cough cough..."

Mr. A suddenly laughed, and upon regaining his original form, he seemed to have regained his former prowess.

But while laughing, he suddenly started coughing violently, coughing so hard that he collapsed to the ground.

"Ahem!"

He coughed up clumps of bloody fragments, which continued to wriggle as they hit the ground, as if they were alive.

This scene is enough to cause one's SAN value to plummet.

But Mr. A, oblivious to everyone else, bent down and crawled forward, his mouth pressed against the ground, licking back all the bloody fragments he had coughed up.

"Damn lunatic!"

Lanius cursed inwardly, which is why he hated these crazy people from the Aurora Society!

Looking up at the embers opposite him, Lanluus silently lowered his head, letting the shadows once again envelop his face.

But from an angle unseen by others, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.

Although Mr. A crippled one of his hands, he benefited from Mr. A's "consideration".

He felt no pain whatsoever; on the contrary, he was quite pleased.

Because he was well aware that the current situation was extremely unfavorable.

Mr. A was undoubtedly a formidable opponent he couldn't defeat.

The fact that this unknown man was able to force Mr. A to run away shows that his strength is unfathomable.

He didn't want to die, but he also didn't want to run away with Mr. A, as that would only keep him imprisoned by Mr. A.

That's why he deliberately delayed Mr. A when Mr. A wanted to take him away.

He wanted to wait for these two to get together, and then find an opportunity to escape when they were both severely injured.

Thinking about it.

Lanius quietly lowered his only remaining right hand and placed it on his lower abdomen.

"Don't move!"

Mr. A seemed to have read his mind and gave him a cold warning.

Lanius sneered, gripping the hem of his shirt tightly, but made no further move.

"Aren't you going to run anymore?"

Yu Jin sighed softly, feeling inexplicably disappointed.

He deliberately let Mr. A escape, wanting to see what tricks he had up his sleeve and whether he could lead him to the world of painting.

But looking at the current situation...

He doesn't seem to have any backup plans; he's the strongest person in this house.

I'm overthinking things.

"You surprised me, and your amazing items really are giving me a lot of trouble."

Mr. A slowly stood up, his movements as slow as an old man on his deathbed exchanging pleasantries with a friend.

"But before absolute power, everything is in vain!"

Mr. A suddenly revealed a fierce glint in his eyes, grabbed his left shoulder with his right hand, and ripped off the entire arm, then threw it, bone and blood, into the embers.

"Boom!"

His arm exploded in mid-air like a bomb, turning into a rain of blood that splashed onto the embers.

But the next second, a dragon-headed shield suddenly appeared in front of Yu Jin, blocking all the torrential rain of blood.

At the same time, a book appeared in front of Mr. A, a transparent and blurry book.

The ancient book flipped through the pages rapidly, accompanied by a soft chanting:

"I came, I saw, I recorded."

A shepherd can command up to seven spirits, but only one can be used at a time.

He didn't use them one by one like in an exhibition; he even sacrificed one of his arms to buy time, all in order to find an opportunity to use his strongest attack!

This is the ability of Sequence 6, 'Recorder', from the 'Apprentice' sequence.

He can use any ability that has been recorded once.

"I admit you're tricky, but I know this is the end of the story!"

"This is an ability that the Dark Saint demonstrated to me more than ten times before successfully recording it! You deserved to die!"

Mr. A's voice became ethereal, and his body was enveloped by the darkness emanating from the books.

He quickly grew into a small giant, standing at 2.34 meters tall.

Its entire body was covered in black, cold armor, except for the area around its eyes, where two balls of deep red light flickered.

The dark knight raised his straight, dark greatsword, took a step forward, and slashed down fiercely.

A cold smile appeared on Mr. A's lips.

[Blade of Spirit and Flesh]

This is the most core extraordinary ability possessed by the Sequence 4 'Black Knight' demigod.

It can not only corrode flesh and blood, obliterate the soul, and shatter barriers, but also render the defenses of any creature with corrupting intentions ineffective!

Even a demigod would be severely injured if struck unexpectedly!

Especially since this is a basement, the space is cramped.

The opponent had absolutely no room to dodge and could only take the hit head-on!

But can it be stopped?

That was a full-force attack from a demigod, how could you possibly block it...?

Mr. A's pupils suddenly contracted sharply.

Because it was in his sight.

The man who had been hiding behind the dragon-head shield turned into a tall figure covered in cold, black armor as he turned around.

In the other's hand, there was also a straight, dark greatsword, which slashed at him as he attacked!

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, in less than a tenth of a breath!

"when!"

The two dark, massive swords collided instantly.

"Click!"

With a crisp cracking sound, a chip appeared on the blade of one of the dark greatswords.

But what sprang out from the gap was not fragments, but a fading light.

Until the very end.

The entire sword disappeared, along with the armor covering the entire body.

Only Mr. A, pale-faced, stumbled backward until his back hit the wall, bringing him to a brief moment of rest.

"You are the 'Black Knight' of Sequence 4!"

A hint of fear and confusion flashed in Mr. A's eyes as he gritted his teeth and said, "You have betrayed my master!"

As he spoke, the flesh at the cut on Mr. A's left shoulder began to writhe wildly, slowly growing a brand new, bloody arm that was not yet covered in skin.

"The Black Knight?"

Ember, now transformed into the Black Knight, silently gazed at Mr. A.

The ability the other party just used must have been the "Black Knight" ability he mentioned.

However, the other party's "Black Knight" was clearly fundamentally different from the Black Knight he knew.

For example, the most obvious difference is—

The opponent's armor wasn't as good-looking as his.

"Who is this saint behind you? Where is he?"

Yu Jin approached Mr. A step by step, asking the question as if it were a routine matter.

As he asked the question, he raised his greatsword.

He seemed to be saying that as long as Mr. A refused to yield, he would grant his wish.

"Would telling the truth save my life?"

Mr. A suddenly revealed a fawning smile.

"Um?"

Ember seemed to have not expected this step, and was instead stunned by it.

"Walk!"

Mr. A suddenly shouted and grabbed his right shoulder with his newly grown left hand.

He tore off his arm again and threw it at the embers.

At the same time, Mr. A suddenly disappeared.

After Mr. A disappeared, the things on the wall behind him were also exposed.

It was a picture frame that had been covered by a black cloth, but now it was half-lifted, revealing a frame only the size of a palm.

Taking advantage of Ember's distraction from the painting, Mr. A, who had previously disappeared, used the "Traveler's" teleportation ability to silently appear behind Ember and crash into him in an instant.

"Bang!"

Mr. A's body instantly exploded into flesh and blood, but his hands still clung tightly to the embers.

In his desperate struggle, a tremendous impact slammed the embers directly into the picture frame.

And the instant he touched the picture frame.

Suddenly, the picture frame flashed with white light, enveloping the embers within it.

In the blink of an eye.

Both the embers and the exploded Mr. A have vanished.

In the basement, only Lanius, feeling like he had survived a disaster, remained.

He's still a bit dazed.
