Chapter 16: The Intersection of Destiny (4)
After snorting coldly, Walter was secretly annoyed.
"I forgot to ask Calis to carry some paper figurines in advance......
I'm still not familiar with the methods used by the 'Sorcerer' to bestow his extraordinary abilities on the secret puppet to fight......"
But what he didn't know was that even if he used the "paper man stand-in", Calis could not get out of this "confinement", and he still had to stay in place and be completely purified.
At the same time that Gleilynt kills Calis, Morgan also breaks free from the "slowness" he has exerted, intending to continue his attack.
Glerint glanced at him, and had no intention of fighting this corrupt baron + temporary apostle of desire head-on, the strength of the two was only stronger than Glerint, let alone superimposed.
His figure faded and "flashed" back to the main hall.
A few seconds ago, Carol's voice sounded in his heart:
"Glerint, I'm not exposed yet, if you have the chance, you can try to come out and kill Walter."
In the main hall, in line with the principle that the "Master of Secret Puppets" never fights head-on, Walter immediately wanted to switch places with Morgan the moment he saw Glerint appear next to him, and let him fight against Glelint.
However, his idea was stolen by Carol.
All of a sudden, he was in a trance, losing his original thoughts, forgetting what he was planning to do.
Walter was in a trance, but Glerint wasn't distracted.
He didn't try to kill Walter directly, as it would inevitably alarm the opponent's spiritual instincts, allowing him to escape with his life using methods such as "paper man doubles" and "flame jumping".
In the midst of his thoughts, he raised his right hand, raised his five fingers and palms forward, and recited in the ancient Hermetian language:
"Manipulating the Spirit Thread is forbidden here."
In an instant, an illusory and invisible wave enveloped the entire battle area, restricting all living beings here in some ways. This is the "Forbidden" of the Sequence 5 recorded by the "Chain of Arcanes" from Darnell.
In fact, Glerlint has another option, which is to "deprive" the other party of the ability to manipulate the spirit thread, and there is almost no difference between the two. Either way, Gleilint actually knows that this time's extraordinary ability is likely to be of little significance.
The reason is simple, Walter apparently has a magical item that seems to correspond to the "Sorcerer".
"Deprivation" can only target one's own extraordinary ability, and cannot restrict the other party's use of magical items to manipulate the spirit line, while "forbidden" is only Sequence 5, and it also cannot prohibit the ability of Sage-level magical items.
Since it is destined to be invalid, what is the point of Grelynt using this extraordinary ability?
In fact, it is very simple, he has two purposes, one is to confirm the existence of this magical object corresponding to the "Sorcerer", and the other is to see if Morgan in the room is controlled by the "Sorcerer" corresponding magical object, or by Walter himself - if the latter, then his "forbidden" is very meaningful! It is possible to deactivate one of Walter's secret puppets.
Because he remembered that the secret puppet would die completely if he was out of the master's control, and even the spirit thread would disappear.
That is to say, in principle, the secret puppet cannot change the owner, and can only have a belonging, because once he is out of control, he will completely become a dead thing, no longer have the spirit line, and no longer have the possibility of control.
However, things did not go as smoothly as Glerint had imagined.
After a few seconds, Walter regained his senses, and it was clear that there really was another enemy in the shadows!
And it's the most dangerous, mind-disturbing enemy!
In the next second, his cuffs shimmered, allowing Gleilynt beside him to vaguely see a bracelet.
Then, his figure flashed, and he swapped places with Morgan. Then, he quickly transformed a few mice and birds outside the house into his secret puppets, ready to swap places to escape.
It is very unwise to fight an unknown enemy.
"Huh?"
"A chain of trickery?"
Seeing the similar-looking bracelet, Glerint instinctively surprised and roughly guessed the name of the magical item in Walter's hand.
Then he thought of Carol beside him.
"She's the 'thief' path, and obviously not at the demigod level, but she can 'parasitize' Eudora ...... the 'parasite chain' in her hands?"
Because he clearly remembered that the "transfer ceremony" prepared by Darnell before could only shield the mutual induction between the bracelets, and could not shield the effect of "guiding the holders to meet", he was not particularly surprised by the coincidental intersection of the three bracelets in the same place.
There was no time to think about the three bracelets, and the initial demonized Morgan and Glerint were already close at hand.
He frowned, confirming that Morgan was being manipulated by the Chain of Sophies, not Walter himself.
"This 'secret puppet master' doesn't have a secret puppet of his own? Or is the 'Resentful Spirit' Calis that I killed actually his own secret puppet?
No wonder he dared to directly demonize Morgan, not afraid that the abyssal aura would infect him in reverse through the spirit line! ”
Gleilint looked at Morgan, who was about to make a move, and stretched out his right hand again, his five fingers spread as if releasing something he was holding, accompanied by a small forward swing of his arm.
"Exile."
He clearly knew that even with Carol, he wouldn't be able to quickly deal with the demonized Morgan. And let go of the ontology of the "secret puppet master" and go to fight with his secret puppet naively, I have to say that it is really a very stupid behavior.
So he chose to throw Morgan directly into the void.
After quickly disposing of Morgan, he "flashed" again and chased him to the room just now. Later, Carol also used the "Parasite Chain" to steal the distance between herself and Glerint, and followed her all the way. At this time, Walter and Morgan had swapped positions for less than 10 seconds, and even with the "chain of trickery", he had not yet been able to transform into a new secret couple!
At this time, a "secret puppet master" who has no new secret puppets is already quite dangerous.
"Eudora!"
Walter snorted coldly, not expecting that the enemy in the shadows would be the "rebellious" Eudora.
Glerlint grinned, he was quite familiar with the "Master of Secret Puppets", and had already prepared various battle plans, the most important of which was:
Never rush to attack until you have abolished his means of escape!
"Judgment!"
He groaned softly, and with a finger of his long sword, he shot out a plain white beam of light.
The beam of light came so quickly that it meant that no one could escape it, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a splendid ceremonial sword hanging above Walter's head.
At the same time as he pronounced Walter's sentence, Carol was not idle.
She manipulated Eudora's body, twisting her slender wrist slightly, stealing the idea that Walter was trying to do something:
He was trying to set up a fantasy to confuse his enemies temporarily.
It's a pity he lost the idea.
- As long as it is not a consciousness that originates from biological instincts, the "Dream Stealer" can steal. But like the instinctive desire of a creature to escape, even if it is stolen, it will immediately reappear, so there is no point in stealing.
This steal made Walter stand still again.
But he is still subconsciously using the "chain of trickery" to manipulate the spirit lines of birds and mice outside the house, transforming new secret puppets, which is his hope of escape.
He's on the verge of success!
Glerint was also a little anxious, and while casually throwing a water cup at Walter, creating the effect of "association", he hurriedly said to Carol:
"He has three extraordinary abilities for escape, swapping positions between the secret puppet, flame jumping, and paper figure doubles, you try to steal them and steal the next two."
This is because "swapping positions with secret couples" is an ability of the "Chain of Trickery".
"Good!"
"Eudora" simply agreed, and her slender wrist twisted again.
She understood what Glerlint meant when he told him about multiple stealing targets, because stealing a target's extraordinary abilities was usually one of three options, and the more the thief knew about the corresponding extraordinary abilities, the easier it was to succeed.
Although Glerint saw that Walter had a "chain of trickery", he still let Carol try to steal the other party's escape skills. This is not without significance, the vast majority of magical items have extraordinary abilities that do not fully contain lower sequences.
In other words, it's possible that the Chain of Sophishing doesn't include the two extraordinary abilities of "Paper Man Double" and "Fire Jump".
