On a tree in the wilderness.

"Is that him?" asked Neferna in a whisper, seemingly excited to be a part of Thul's decapitation.

"How do I know that I haven't seen Bariel himself like you?" replied Thor, a little speechless.

As he spoke, Thor glanced under the tree through the gap between the leaves. Not far from the tree, in some of the barren grass, lay a silent figure, as if it had become a part of the earth, right on the edge of Thor's dark vision.

Thor had been observing him for a while, but he didn't see anything, except that he felt that it was an extremely strange creature.

According to Neferna's account, the suspected Bariel creature burst out of the secret passage and headed straight into the wilderness without looking back. In addition to his decisive escape, he was very cautious along the way, and barely made any big moves.

It wasn't until Neferna and Sol joined up that Thor climbed up the tree and found a vantage point to look at it first.

Theoretically, Bariel can't shake off Thor's tail right now, but not necessarily. For example, if he has a short-distance random teleportation scroll or some other hole card, Thor himself does not have any forbidden means, which is why Thor is not in a hurry to kill.

After observing for a moment, but seeing nothing, Bariel lay face down in the grass, his eyes never moving in the direction he had come. For a while, Neferna even wondered if the other party would run away, and deliberately went down to take another look.

The only thing Thor could see for the time being was that since this guy dared to lie motionless in the wilderness, he should have the means to deal with the necromancy. The reason why he dared to let Neferna follow him was because Thor thought he should not be able to see Neferna.

The only time Neferna was exposed was in Warm Wind in Triston Territory, where she was seen through by Omega Shiitake's younger brother Daryl with his Dark Ranger's true vision. At the moment, Bariel doesn't have a bow, and he doesn't look like a dark ranger.

Moreover, the three new classes of the Dark Ranger are the de-souling classes that only appeared after the ghost rage, which means that they will only appear among newcomers who have only recently been promoted. It is impossible for people of high rank like Thor and Bariel to become some kind of spirit exterminators.

According to Neferna's close-up observation, she said that Bariel, who was lying on his stomach below, had a thick beard and a cold and paranoid gaze, which was not a good thing at first glance. Thor tried to look in his mind, but couldn't find any acquaintances with the traits.

When his patience was almost exhausted, Thor was ready to strike, not with a sword, but with a test of his skills.

Thor sat upright on the tree, and stared fixedly at Bariel lying on the ground. After a short moment, the ground around Baliel, with Baliel as the center, within ten feet square, suddenly changed in geology, and instantly turned into a muddy swamp filled with bubbles.

Then Thor saw a shocking scene, the original fourth-order professional skill 'quagmire', he had never used it in actual combat, but only briefly tried it a few times. In the past, perhaps due to lack of mental strength or some other reason, the geological transformation was very slow.

By the time you turn the land into a swamp, the enemies trapped in it will have long since escaped, which is why Thor has been abandoning it.

Later, through the rift in the abyss, Thor found that his professional skills seemed to have grown. Because it turned out that using the rift of the abyss to kill the ghost was just an earth-colored rift, but later Thor found that the color of the rift had changed, and magma began to roll.

It's a pity that enemies like necromancers are all one sword at a time, and they can't give Thor much reference, and he doesn't know if the power of his skills has increased. Later, after trying the skill, Thor found that the skill of the mire had indeed changed.

The biggest advantage is that it can be changed instantly, just like using a spell with the same effect, the skill activation speed has been increased, and it can even be used as magic, which is the part that Thor is more satisfied with. The only drawback is still that, it's too mentally draining.

Like the quagmire used just now, just a ten-foot-square geological change almost drained nearly half of Thor's spiritual power.

And what shocked Thor was this, he was actually testing his skills and wanted to see how Bariel would react.

In Thor's imagination, the geology changed instantly, and Bariel should be inexplicable when he was trapped in the range. It may not be possible for him to stand up in a lying position, because the ground beneath him has instantly turned to mud, and there is no point of strength to support his movements.

Thor thinks there are roughly two ways to escape, one is to teleport the scroll, and the other is a special means of flying like a fly charm.

If Bariel teleported, then Thor would have stopped. After all, if it weren't for a sneak attack, it would not be easy for a fifth-order to take away a fourth-order with a sword, not to mention a seemingly cautious guy like Bariel, even if Thor pounced and put him right, it would be the same result.

If it was another means, if Bariel didn't run too far, then Thor would naturally catch up and send him to his ancestors.

What shocked Thor was that when the Mire Skill was silently activated, Bariel lay there without moving.

For a moment, Thor even thought that his skills had failed, but soon he saw that Bariel's whole body was sinking rapidly in the mud, and the sinking speed was not slow. After all, Bariel's whole body was lying there, much faster than standing there and sinking.

The strange thing was that until he was submerged, the mud closed seamlessly over his head, and Bariel lay there untouched. There was no struggle, no panic, no special means, the mire seemed to swallow a silent stone.

Until Bariel completely disappeared from the mire, Thor and Neferna looked at each other, what was it...... I'm afraid he's a madman, right?

Or maybe Bariel had somehow escaped? What was left on the ground was a stand-in? And how did he escape Neferna's surveillance? After all, Neferna had seen it up close, and she couldn't even tell if the other person was a living person.

Moreover, Neferna has made it clear that the ghost sees people with their eyes is actually only a small part of it, and what is really reliable is a certain perception between life and death. The perception of the ghost by the living creature was so vivid that Neferna was sure that Bariel was a living person.

The matter ended at the end and fell into an even bigger mystery here, the expected big war did not come, not even the danger, but the ending made people a little speechless. The two bandit leaders who terrified the entire Free City were so inexplicably beheaded.

Thor didn't know how to sum it up, as if he had prepared it carefully, but in the end he smashed his fist on the cotton.

Jumping off the tree, Thor walked to the place where Bariel was lying and stepped on it, and now the mire had returned to normal land.

"What's going on? What's going on? Is he really dead?" said Neferna Shiitake unexpectedly.

"I don't know, but it doesn't matter, go back and spread the news and take off the nest. What does it matter if Bariel is really not dead? The next time I come back, I just pinch it head-on, and it will be complicated to do too many tricks. Saul was clearly a little dissatisfied.

It's really a weird night, I met a weird opponent, and it's not that I can't beat it directly, but it's complicated to take one more move. Thor couldn't do anything about this, after all, who would have thought that Bariel would react like that, he was simply a freak.

Somewhere in the wilderness suddenly flashed a brief white light, and a figure covered in mud suddenly appeared, and then suddenly buried his head in the soil and gasped for breath, so as not to make any movement when the breathing was too loud, this is not who is Bariel who fell into the mire just now?

Perhaps, it is not accurate to call him Bariel, it is just a false name. If he had shaved off the mustache that had accumulated all over his face, and Thor had a good enough memory, he might have recognized it if he had taken a closer look, and this was really an acquaintance who was not an acquaintance of his own.

In fact, Saul's guess is not too far off, although Bariel is not a madman, but a neurotic person still can't escape. And this nervousness has been going on for years, ever since he slaughtered his brother and wife with his own hands.

One day many years ago, he found his brother Hank playing a collision game with his wife in his bedroom. In fact, when they were children, the three of them often played together, but when they grew up, they were not children after all, so he personally sent his brother and wife to the gods.

Because they are twin brothers with similar appearances, he has since hidden the real name of Scharken West, and under the name of his brother Hank, he has become the leader of the Dark Cross Squad 7. Until he meets Thor, Thor drags him into the nightmare of his life.

At that time, Scharken was just a heavy shieldman, and after knocking out the first-order Thor in the wilderness, the seventh team faced the vast evil that had risen again, and all of them were destroyed. In the end, only Charcan, who hid in a stinking puddle for three days, escaped the dead.

At that time, Thor was nailed to the charge of ancient evil, in fact, because of the original report of the destruction of the seventh team by Scharcan.

Believing that the evil within Thor is invincible, Scharcan suddenly decides to become an observer from now on.

Since then, he has started a new life, becoming a shadow of Thor, silently observing Thor in the dark. From Grey Curtain to the city of Kojer, to the ruined capital of Karot, and then to the main city of Odrenza in the South.

"I knew it was like this!" When the news came that Thor was making a big fuss about the ball in Odrenna, killing indiscriminately and finally running away, Charken was standing in a alleyway in the main city of Odrenza and laughing happily, as if he had mastered the world's greatest secret.

It's not that he hasn't lost it, after all, Thor often wanders around through the Gate of the Secret Realm.

For a while, Scharcan found that he could not find Thor, but fortunately, soon Thor gained a foothold on the northern border, and then ran to Byron Bian to pit Princess Caroline, and the news spread all over the continent. Sharcoln had a new direction again, heading north.

So after so many years, the old man who was originally less than thirty has become an old man who is now nearly forty, and the only thing that remains unchanged is the pursuit of Thor. If there is anyone in the world who knows himself better than Saul himself, it is Charcan.
