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

Chapter 84 Give him to me, and I'll owe you a favor!

"Clatter!"

Ember, clad in black knight armor, gazed at the unfamiliar world before him with an unusually calm expression.

In Yu Jin's eyes, the world of painting, which should have been characterized by coldness, was now filled with nothing but boundless blood.

Whether it was the plains beneath our feet or the distant mountains, the surface was covered with a thick layer of blood-red, viscous liquid, like a fungal carpet.

On top of these 'blood-red fungal carpets' are 'eggs' made of the same viscous blood-red slime.

The surface of the egg is covered with a complex network of dark blood vessels, like tree branches, and inside it seems to be pulsating with life.

Mr. A's final, desperate attempt should not have succeeded.

He could easily dodge it with a simple roll.

But I was so captivated by that 'painting world' that I became careless and didn't dodge.

but.

This was within his expectations.

Anyway, he was going to enter this world of painting anyway.

The only regret is...

There's still one person who slipped through the net and hasn't arrived yet, so we need to deal with them in the basement.

But it doesn't matter.

Anyway, he had already called the police before he arrived.

Judging by the time, the Church of the Night should have arrived by now, right?

As Yu Jin pondered this, he turned his gaze to the distant mountains.

There was no way out for him.

The painting he saw was not the real world of painting; it was only a corner of it.

Therefore, that painting is just a one-way door, allowing entry but not exit.

However, since there is an entrance here, there must also be other exits.

Even if he couldn't find it, he still had the bone fragments to return to.

And now.

The most likely place for the exit is that high mountain in the distance.

After thinking for a moment, Yu Jin began to head towards the distant mountain.

What Yu Jin didn't know was...

Shortly after he left.

A mass of flesh and blood suddenly appeared where he had been standing, and then quickly began to absorb the flesh and blood fungus covering the ground, constantly 'growing and expanding'.

……

"Just like that, you left?"

In the basement, Lanius was still in shock.

Just now, I watched helplessly as Mr. A pushed Yu Jin into the painting in a way that led to mutual destruction.

But when his gaze fell upon the picture frame, a cold, sinister glint appeared in his eyes.

Of course he knew what it was.

The reason Mr. A was confident that he could lead him away was because he pinned his hopes on the magical power contained in the painting.

But Lanius didn't want to go with Mr. A.

Ultimately, he'd rather be arrested than stay with those lunatics from the Aurora Society!

Despite Mr. A's desperate attempt to take the "Black Knight" away, Lanluus knew perfectly well that Mr. A wasn't protecting "Lanluus" at all, but rather the "True Creator"!

But no matter how you put it.

At least now, he has truly gained his freedom.

Lanius grinned, wanting to burst into laughter.

But when he felt an unusual sensation in his abdomen and chest, his face darkened again.

Mr. A, who imprisoned him, is dead, and the people who came to hunt him down have also disappeared into the world of the painting.

No one can threaten him now.

He can go wherever he wants!

But the shadow of the 'true creator' still lingers like a persistent ailment.

If the hidden danger left by the "True Creator" cannot be resolved, he will completely become the vessel for the True Creator's descent in a few months, and he will still not be able to escape the shadow of death!

"We need to think of a way to get rid of him..."

Lanius placed his hand on his chest, his angular face still shrouded in gloom, his expression unpredictable.

For the true Creator to fully descend, a great deal of pessimism, despair, numbness, resentment, and primal evil is required.

Only Backlund, only the East District, the factory district, and the dock area can meet His requirements.

That being the case.

By staying away from Backlund and these places filled with despair, one can greatly slow down the arrival of the true Creator.

During this time, he always managed to find a solution.

"However, the most important thing now is to get out of here as soon as possible."

Lanius took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the stairs leading to the first floor.

Although the battle between Mr. A and the "Black Knight" was intense just now.

However, their killing moves are all aimed at completely killing the opponent, and do not cause widespread or indiscriminate damage.

In addition, the basement was originally made of special materials to imprison him, the human vessel of the true creator.

That's why it was able to withstand the full aftermath of the two's battle and remain steadfast.

As long as the house is not damaged and the noise is not too loud, it will not alert the extraordinary beings of Backlund.

If nothing unexpected happens, he can leave quietly.

of course.

That is, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

However, it is impossible without unexpected events.

As soon as he stepped out of the basement, Lanius's expression froze completely.

Because in the room above the basement, an elderly man with a clean-shaven face and deep-set eyes seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

He wore a black and red clerical robe with five dark holy symbols on his chest.

Lanius recognized him and memorized his information through Mr. A's semi-forced indoctrination.

Anthony Stevenson.

The Archbishop of the Church of the Night in Backlund, a Sequence 3 demigod!

"Where is Ash?"

Anthony stared coldly at Laneus.

"..."

Lanius felt a chill run down his spine and broke out in a cold sweat.

A single glance from the other party was enough to render him immobile.

Even though he still has the trump card of "True Creator", the person in front of him is a demigod of Sequence 3!

If the true creator were to intervene, a mere Sequence 3 demigod would be nothing more than a chicken or a dog, utterly insignificant.

But he was, after all, just a vessel, not the true creator!

Even if he were to unleash the power of the true creator now, he would still have no chance of resisting the other party.

But he couldn't understand why the other party had arrived so quickly!

A bitter smile tugged at the corner of Lanius's mouth.

He knew he had no chance of escaping; being captured by the Church of the Night was his only fate.

He is not reconciled!

Having finally escaped the wolf's den, thinking they had regained their freedom, they found themselves back in the tiger's den.

But what can you do if you're unwilling to accept it?

Could he possibly expect another demigod to descend from the heavens on auspicious clouds to save him?

"That's simply unrealistic."

Just when Lanius was about to give up in despair, reality slapped him hard in the face.

Backlund has no demigods riding on colorful clouds, but it does have one riding on peas.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, layers of intertwined pea vines, as if weaving a stairway to heaven, hung down from the sky, intertwining into a dense forest that completely enveloped the entire house in a world of pea vines.

Lanius felt a blur before his eyes.

Suddenly, a pair of long, slender legs clad in black leather boots appeared before Lanius.

He subconsciously looked up.

A woman dressed in a white Intis-style shirt and a dark black jacket, with a thin rapier at her waist, was sitting in a hammock-like chair that hung from the ceiling and was made of pea vines.

"Give him to me; I owe the Church of the Night a favor."

The woman's long chestnut hair fell naturally, and her deep blue eyes looked over as she spoke softly but without emotion.

"no."

Anthony gave her a deep look and said calmly, "This is Lord Ash's spoils of war. No one can take it away without Lord Ash's permission!"

The woman noticed Anthony's determination and frowned slightly, as if she was considering the consequences of taking action.

The two were locked in a fierce battle, neither willing to back down.

But Lanius, caught in the middle and trembling with fear, seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

"Let's fight! Let's fight!"

Lanius was filled with hope; if the two of them started fighting, he would have a chance to escape!

PS: Thank you to the first patron of this book, 'Pigeon Hunter', for the 100000 Qidian coins.

Originally, I planned to wait until the book was published and then write a separate chapter to thank each of the big spenders who donated.

However, the amount from the "Pigeon Hunter" is enormous, so I can only express my gratitude in advance.

As for adding more chapters, it's really pointless since they haven't been released yet.

I'll have to wait a couple more days, please forgive me.

PS2: In the world of Lord of Mysteries.

Sequence 4 and Sequence 3 are demigods and saints.

For example, the Aurora will have five saints, and among these five saints is the 'Dark Saint' of Sequence 4.

In the original text, the terms "saint" and "demigod" are used interchangeably for these two levels.

Sequence 2 and Sequence 1 are angels, and also from God.

PS3: Example from the original text

Paragraph 1: Alger had no doubt about this, and initially believed that it was done by a Sequence 4 or Sequence 3 demigod, that is, a saint, and was shocked and terrified because one of Mr. Fool's followers was a high sequence.

Paragraph 2: The upgraded "Crawling Hunger" can record two extraordinary abilities at the demigod level, no higher than Sequence 3, through Mr. X's soul and characteristics.
