I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 474

Within the realm of vision that is invisible to normal people.

Thin, illusory black threads extended from Jerson's body and disappeared into Erin's palms, reacting differently under Erin's will.

"Besides that colorful little sword and the pearl you just crushed, what other special items do you have on you?"

After a brief experience, Erin asked Jelson a question as if Jelson were still alive.

of course.

This is an experiment by Erin, an attempt to play the role of the "Master of Puppets".

Under Erin's manipulation, Jerson carefully searched through his tattered clothes and found seven gold coins and three silver coins bearing the image of the Dwarf King in a relatively intact pocket.

Then they found a special bracelet with a light blue gemstone inlaid on his right hand, as well as a dagger tucked in his boot.

It's unclear whether Jelson was overconfident in his abilities or simply wasn't wealthy.

In short, apart from these few items, Erin found no other items on him.

"Sizzle!"

With a gentle flick of his wrist, Jerson controlled the dagger, which sliced ​​a long gash into a steel plate next to him.

Seeing that the dagger's blade was completely undamaged, Erin nodded and instructed Jerson to put the sharp dagger away.

After trying the dagger, Erin's gaze fell on the azure gemstone bracelet that clearly exuded an extraordinary aura.

The aura emanating from this bracelet is somewhat similar to that of the precious bead from earlier.

One was surrounded by wind elements, while the other leaned more towards water, and its aura wasn't as dangerous as the orb that created the wind arrow.

After a moment's hesitation.

Using divination, Erin quickly figured out the origin and function of the bracelet.

This bracelet appears to have been crafted by a Vanir deity using the "Heart of the Ocean" to woo Fryka, who was not yet married to Odin.

However, before he could even give away the bracelet, Fricka had already fallen into Odin's arms.

This extraordinary item has three uses.

Firstly, it passively gathers the essence of water elements, nourishing the wearer's body and making their skin more hydrated and smooth. With prolonged wear, it may even grant the wearer some water element affinity, providing a natural boost when learning water magic.

Secondly, every so often, the Heart of the Ocean in the bracelet can accumulate enough water elemental power, and then release a [Water Elemental Healing] through the runes engraved on the inside of the gem.

Ok.

It's the kind of [water elemental healing] that Tony Stark experienced before. In terms of healing effect alone, although it can't compare to the advanced holy light healing of the Angel's Scepter, it's still quite good.

In addition to these two functions, the Heart of the Ocean on this bracelet also allows the wearer to breathe underwater.

Overall, this is a pretty good extraordinary item.

Especially for some women, this bracelet is simply a gem.

No wonder it was given as a gift to pop diva Fryka.

Unfortunately, Odin was ultimately more cunning; before he could even give her the bracelet, he had already married Frika.

Unfortunately, the bracelet wasn't very useful to Erin.

Apart from the first ability, both [Water Element Healing] and [Underwater Breathing] overlap somewhat with Erin's current abilities.

As for nourishing the skin, it's of little use to Erin, a grown man.

"I wonder how this bracelet ended up in Jerson's hands..."

After shaking his head, Erin put the bracelet away separately.

Although it's not very useful to me, that doesn't mean it's not useful to others.

·······

Having gained something unexpected from Jerson, Erin quickly turned his attention to the other hooded men lying on the ground.

"Jelson, these men are in your hands."

"It would be my pleasure to serve you, my master."

After responding, Jelson, under Erin's manipulation, walked towards the other hooded men lying on the ground.

These are the companions that Jerson "disappeared" before.

······

A dozen minutes later.

A pile of things appeared in front of Erin.

However, apart from a few high-quality weapons and armor, Erin did not see any extraordinary items that were as refreshing as the Heart of the Ocean bracelet.

On the contrary, several items with a "dangerous aura" were found on several of the hooded figures.

There are withered wooden plaques that exude a strong sense of decay and depravity;

A misty aura rises, and inside it seems to contain a shimmering green pearl from a dream world;

There was also a crystal skull, flawless and sparkling, yet emanating a nauseating, fishy stench...

Looking at the few items in front of him that exuded an "ominous aura," Erin's eyebrows twitched slightly.

Good grief, are you a Vanir god or a Vanir demon?!

How come a god like us carries around things from the underworld?

After another round of divination, Erin, though somewhat disgusted, eventually put away the few underworld gadgets that the Vanir gods had somehow found.

Who can blame them... these things, though they're from the underworld, are surprisingly effective.

·······

After absorbing all the deathly aura emanating from the hooded figures and confirming that no second group of uninvited guests would enter the underground passage for the time being.

Erin found a safe place and then put his first magical puppet into his spatial ring.

Although the secret doll has been successfully created.

However, given the connection between Jelson and his ilk and the evil god, Erin plans to conduct a "virus scan" before fully confirming that Jelson is his puppet.

To avoid unknowingly falling into the trap of those evil gods.

In a daze.

Erin then entered the Scales space through a spiritual leap.

However, even after entering the Scales space, Erin did not exhibit any alarming abnormalities as she had when she was entangled by the giant octopus.

The balance space remained largely unchanged.

"Is there any problem?"

"Or is it because of the space between us that the Balance Space was unable to sense the problem with Jelson?"

After a moment's thought, Erin, holding the angel's scepter, summoned Jerson from his spatial ring.

"Come out, Jerson."

The mist, flowing like mercury, passed through Jerson's fingertips without causing any changes in the Balance Space.

Only when Erin held the angel's scepter did he truly breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems that Jerson really doesn't have any problems.

Is it because the colorful little sword he swallowed earlier had little to do with the evil god, or is it because the evil god who held the "authority of dreams" has completely perished?

He pondered this as he spoke.

Erin took out the spoils that Jelson had just collected from his spatial ring.

While using the Balance Space to confirm whether there were any problems with these spoils, Erin also used the positions within the Balance Space to conduct a second appraisal of these items.

These things are not much different from the effects that Ai Lin predicted before, the only difference is that the side effects are much more serious than those predicted by Ai Lin.

For example, the crystal skull, while granting some forbidden knowledge each time it is used, can also inadvertently and completely change a person's perception, or even their sexual orientation.

It makes them disregard race and develop a fondness for a bunch of skeletons.

Good guy.

I would rather not have these side effects.

······

After collecting the spoils.

Erin then turned his gaze once again to Jerson, who was standing respectfully to the side.

I only had a general feel for it just now, and now I can take this opportunity to seriously study what abilities my first secret puppet possesses.

Extraordinary physique, speed, deception, illusion, dream entry, dream travel, dream theft, dream body, dying in a dream...

After examining them one by one, Erin discovered that the "immortality" ability he had previously thought he possessed was not a single ability, but a combination of several abilities.

Moreover, this is not true immortality.

Instead, in a special state, one can "dreamify" their body and then continuously die in place of themselves in the dream, thereby nullifying the attacks they suffer and achieving a kind of "immortality".

Is it possible to use one's dream self to die in place of another, thereby shifting the cause and effect and nullifying those fatal attacks?

No wonder I fired so many shots at this guy and still couldn't kill him.

I must say, that's quite an ability.

Even its potential is enormous, it's just a pity that Jelson can no longer develop this ability.

After a few moments of reflection...

Erin then activated Jelson's illusionary abilities, making him look more like a normal person.

Although it's just a simple illusion, it at least makes people feel more comfortable.

Unlike that creepy guy with only one big eye on his face.

After studying Jerson's other abilities further.

Worried about unforeseen events in the ongoing battle in the real world, Erin did not linger in the Scales Space.

After using Fate Points to materialize a cloak for Jelson, Erin quickly returned to reality.

······

After returning to the real world.

Even deep underground, Erin could still feel the constant tremors coming from the ground.

"It seems the battle on the ground is not over yet."

"Heh, I wonder how much money Jerson and his buddies have gone to in order to attract attention and cover their tracks."

After sighing.

Erin easily made his way back to the eighteenth underground level of the Dawn Sword.

Unlike what Jerson and his group saw in the environment.

At this moment, on the eighteenth underground level of the Dawn Sword, there were no corpses, only heavily armored warriors fully armed.

The heavily armored warriors, each armed and ready for battle, seemed to fill the entire eighteenth underground level with a chilling atmosphere.

When Erin emerged from the eighteenth underground level, through the only passage leading to the deeper, abandoned rooms, the dwarf who had been guarding that passage felt a slight sense of relief.

[Thank goodness our ancestors protected me; Master Ailin is alright, otherwise Elder Baiyan would have skinned me alive.]

After letting out a slight sigh of relief, the dwarf captain stepped forward and respectfully greeted Captain Erin, "Mage Erin."

After nodding to the dwarf captain who exuded a heavy aura, Erin asked, "Have they all been captured?"

"Besides the 42 who resisted to the death and were killed by us, we have captured and detained the remaining 33 traitors. In addition, I have reported the list of these traitors, and Lord Baiyan will immediately send people to arrest their families."

As the dwarf captain finished his detailed report, a chilling killing intent inadvertently crept into his voice.

While filled with lingering fear towards the traitors lurking within the Sword of Dawn, the dwarf captain also harbored a deep-seated hatred for them.

If it weren't for the mage Erin's divination that alerted them to something amiss, and his subsequent orders for them to lie in wait and capture the traitors, they would have been caught.

If these traitors' plot succeeds, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Fortunately, all of this was foreseen by the mage Erin.

Thinking about this...

His gaze toward Erin became even more respectful.

"Including those who were killed, did they dig up a total of 75 people?"

After quickly calculating the number, Erin said to the dwarf warrior, "This shouldn't be all of them. There should still be a group of traitors hidden within the Sword of Dawn. I'll give you a list later to see if any have slipped through the net."

"By the way, before that, we must keep a close watch on some of Dawnbreaker's important facilities to prevent them from resorting to desperate measures."

Before dealing with Jerson, Erin used illusion magic to extract a lot of information from Jerson's subordinates.

Among them were dwarven traitors who had been misled by them.

Upon hearing that there was actually a group of traitors within the Sword of Dawn.

The dwarf captain's eyes narrowed instantly, and he said in a chilling voice:

"Rest assured, Mage Erin, I will absolutely not give those traitors any opportunity."

talking.

The dwarf captain pointed at his helmet and then quickly relayed a series of orders to the guards stationed at the Sword of Dawn.

After the dwarf captain finished issuing the orders...

Erin pointed to the passage behind him:

"Just now, a group of people infiltrated through this passage below, intending to join forces with the lurking traitors to attack Dawnbreaker from the inside."

"I've taken care of the men, but I don't know if they have any backup plans or reinforcements. Send some men to keep an eye on that passage later."

"Hmm, it would be best to send another bunch of people along the passage those guys came in through to see where they came from."

After saying this, Erin gave some more instructions and then stepped into the elevator in the center of the eighteenth underground floor.

After respectfully watching Erin leave, the dwarf captain waved his hand, leaving behind a ten-man squad to guard the eighteenth underground level.

He then personally led a group of fully armed dwarf warriors into that dark passage.
