Stone statues are said to have the expression of seeing their prey when they see all life, just as they do at this time. As stone statues, they have a variety of expressions that are no less than those of humans, which makes people sigh that the magic of the puppeteers is so weird. But that doesn't justify their ability to turn living humans into stone statues, and there's nothing worse than losing their lives and their freedom.

"Can you believe it?" said Maffeo, a look of disbelief on his face.

The reason for this is the appearance of these stone statues, as can be seen from their costumes that have been turned into cold stones, and most of them do not belong to this era. Among these costumes that everyone has never seen before, there doesn't seem to be any weirdness in wearing them, but there is an indescribable sense of appropriateness.

Carl and Freya were also surprised to find that among the stone statues there were even Celestials like them, tall men, holding firearms in their hands that they were no longer familiar with, and telling them their identities. In the eyes of the two, the gunmen who were reduced to stone existed at least a long time ago when the Celestial Realm was ruled by Bakar.

"I have a question, if they really were people who once existed, then how did they break through the blockade of Lucas and get here?" Maffeo wondered.

"That's not something we need to think about, watch out for what lies ahead. Carl reminded.

Naturally, Maffeo will not forget this, and he has not forgotten what he came here for, he is just moved and deeply puzzled. All this seems to confirm from the side that this city in the sky has a very long history of existence. As for when it appeared, I'm afraid it's impossible to know.

Battles tend to unfold in a split second, with the gunmen figurines pulling the trigger and firing bullets at the crowd. It can be seen that even if they are turned into stone statues, their archery skills do not seem to have regressed in any way. Skilled in firearms, Carl and Freya can tell from their shooting movements and accuracy that they are properly trained gunslingers.

Maffeo immediately held his greatsword in front of him to block the bullets, which, although they hit his greatsword, did not cause effective damage to the greatsword, and after a long period of baptism, the bullets of these fellows could no longer exert their original power. It can be said that the guns in their hands can also fire bullets is a miracle in itself. But this was also something that made Carl and Freya wonder how they were able to drive the guns in their hands to shoot bullets, which had long since been scrapped for so long, and they had never heard of magic that could extend the life of these guns.

Regardless, Carl and Freya decided to take out the Gunslinger Statues first, as they were the only ones among the Statues who could attack from a distance, and the first thing they needed to do was to deal with them first.

The statues weren't rushing up and attacking, they seemed to work together perfectly, as if someone was directing them. When the two try to attack the Gunslinger Statue, the Golems with swords and gloves will rush up to stop them. When the two dodge, the gunslinger statues will attack them again.

However, the biggest weakness of the stone statues is their lack of mobility, they no longer have the slight agility of humans, and they seem to act only according to their masters' wishes. Of course, if their owners are outright fools, then they end up being played to death by the reactive guys, even though they are already dead.

Avoiding the attacks of these guys and fighting back was easy for Carl and Freya, who were able to leap into the air and rain fire bombs at the gunmen slightly further back in the air under the cover of Maffeo and Camilli. In fact, they did, and in the end, the fate of the gunners was only to be reduced to a single stone fragment in the flameburst.

Camilli rarely gathered those thoughts into her fist and rushed forward to engage the stone statues in close combat, and she didn't use her usual thoughts and waves. It's just that no matter what, her attacks are inseparable from the Nianqi, and every time she kicks or swings her fists, the tiger that materializes the Nianqi will attack along with her fists and feet, and the stone statues are almost vulnerable to this kind of attack.

Camilli's dazzling attack cleared the stone statue in front of her in almost a dozen seconds, and the power of this method of gathering mental energy in her fist and launching a physical attack was really unexpectedly powerful.

Thunder suddenly sounded, which seems to be a very common phenomenon in the puppeteer's territory, but the danger is often there. Suddenly, Camilli realizes that something is wrong, and she dodges from her position. There, in about a second or so, a sharp stone pillar burst out of the ground. Don't think about it, if you stay where you are, you will only end up being impaled. But the danger was not over, and just as Camille dodged, a silver stone ball that was not easy to spot was thrown at Camille from the darkness.

A flame bomb that came from the side at high speed hit the stone ball directly and shattered it, and it was Freya. Carl quickly fired a flame bomb at the top of the dark area, and as it exploded, the area was illuminated. A faintly scrawny figure appeared in the light of the flameburst, and Maffeo seized the opportunity to charge in front of it in an instant, and with the power of the charge, he pierced the creature with his greatsword, and everything fell silent for a moment.

"Well done. Karl pulled the revolver back into his waist.

"This layer is finally done. Freya breathed a sigh of relief.

Camilli walked up to Freya, and the two smiled at each other.

"Hey, I think you guys should come over and have a look. Maffeo shouted to the three.

The three of them walked over, and there was no doubt that the creature impaled by Maffeo was the so-called puppeteer. The scrawny body, the stray and dry hair, the strange way it attacked and the fragile defense it had before it was combined, all matched what Mirna had described. The stone that had been floating before fell to the ground as if it had lost its life after the puppeteer's death, just like most normal stones.

"How do you think it makes the stones float?" asked Maffeo.

Camilli pondered for a moment, then replied, "I think it must be some kind of magic, maybe it could be an idea." In short, this creature is indeed amazing. ”

"yes? I thought so too, I don't think I'm going to like this guy, it's disgusting. Maffeo looked at the puppeteer's corpse with a hint of annoyance.

"So don't overthink it. Karl put his hand on Maffeo's shoulder.

"Yes, I won't. Maffeo nodded.
