The red moon was faint in the yellow haze.

The thin moonlight, which barely penetrates the haze, roughly divides the dock area in the middle of the night into two parts: dark and gray.

On the street, there is an old gas street lamp far away, opening up bright islands in the thick ash.

Varina runs down the street.

Unlike what he was used to, this time he didn't choose to go into the deep darkness.

This time the opponent is better at using the shadows and darkness than he is, and he certainly can't throw himself into the net.

The feeling of danger is still there, and the inspiration has not relaxed.

With the help of the previously opened "gray vision", Varina could even see directly, a cloud of yellow weaving through the deep darkness on both sides of the street, chasing after it.

After crossing the second gas lamp, Varina made a decision.

A new street light spot appears ahead.

He counted the time, took out a whalebone charm from his jacket pocket with his left hand, infused it with spirituality, and recited the opening spell in the ancient Hermetian language:

"Invisible!"

He inspires the "invisibility" spell he had previously made with Qi Li.

Varina's form fluctuated like a ripple of water as she entered the bright island of the streetlight, and then vanished completely.

The next moment, the figure of a tall and thin man appeared on the edge of deep darkness not far away.

At his feet, deep dark shadows stretched out several slender tentacles, invading the bright area for a small part.

Looking at the bright gas street lamp, the corners of the man's mouth opened and a cruel smile appeared.

This "instigator" was a little clever, but he did something stupid anyway.

He didn't hide in the deep darkness that lined the streets, which was quite a clever thing to do; But Toto's choice in the light of the street lamps was foolish.

The tall and thin man casually snapped his right index finger and threw it as a throwing knife, targeting the wick of the street lamp above.

As long as he destroys the street lamp, he will soon be able to dominate the shadows and find the other party;

And if the other person blocks the amputated finger...... Hum!

He has a magical item corresponding to the "Bishop of the Rose" in his hand.

Although the negative effect was very serious, it was only a quick release of a "flesh magic", and he could hold it up completely.

"Dangchang!"

The severed finger broke through the glass lampshade of the street lamp, and completely destroyed the metal wick inside, making a crisp sound of gold and iron clashing.

The other party did not stop him from destroying the street lights!

The corners of the tall and thin man's mouth hooked, and the tentacles extending in the shadows also became active again at the same time, further elongating.

"Frost!"

A muffled voice of Ancient Hermetic words rang out in the air ahead.

When the tall and thin man heard the opening spell of the spell, he subconsciously wanted to merge his body back into the shadows.

But he couldn't do it.

Because at the same time as the opening spell was recited, Varina once again activated the "connection".

After the spell was activated, Varina's hidden form reappeared.

The cold aura condensed, forming a slender ice prism on his left hand, like a knight's spear.

Taking advantage of the brief time when the tall and thin man's thoughts were suppressed, he burst out with all his strength and threw out the spear condensed by frost in his hand.

The transparent ice lance pierced the man's soft abdomen.

Although he had once again broken free of the "connection", the white frost had quickly spread throughout his body, exerting a new layer of control.

The folding knife flipped over Varina's right hand, releasing the stored blade.

He gathered all the strength of his body and slashed at the neck of the tall and thin man.

The goal is to cut off the opponent's head directly.

Varina knew that the "Hermit" had a strong recovery ability, but she didn't know exactly how strong it was, so she could only choose to fight back with all her might.

Failed!

The opponent's body, especially the bones, was far tougher than he thought, and after the blade slashed the cervical vertebrae with difficulty, he ran out of momentum.

Varina turned the handle and pulled the blade out.

The tall and thin man's head drooped down and leaned on one shoulder, with only the small half of the flesh still attached to the blood-spurting neck.

Varina was about to step forward to make up for another stab, but suddenly a terrifying feeling rose from the bottom of her heart.

He stopped cautiously, and saw that the other party reached out to straighten his head, and shoved something in his hand into the broken wound in his neck.

Immediately afterwards, the granulation at the fracture squirmed, and the scar quickly disappeared.

At the same time, the opponent's abdomen also squirmed, and the frost spear was also pushed out of the body.

"Flesh magic"!

"Boom", Varina felt his scalp tingle-

He is the "Bishop of the Rose" from Sequence 6!

Run!

Before she had time to think, Varina pulled her legs and ran.

If the other party shows the "flesh magic" earlier, he will absolutely, absolutely not fight back!

Varina's figure quickly disappeared in the haze.

However, the tall and thin man who used "flesh magic" to repair his injuries did not continue to pursue.

He's in bad shape and on the verge of getting out of control.

He's not really a "Bishop of the Rose", and the negative effects of that magical item are even more striking.

It's okay to simply manipulate the flesh, but if you fully activate the "flesh magic" to repair the injury like this, you have to integrate it into yourself.

For him, this is tantamount to forcibly swallowing the trait promotion.

And even worse!

Because this magical item has a certain living characteristic, the spiritual imprint contained in it is quite profound;

Not only that, even if he is a real "Rose Bishop", after activating his ability to repair such a serious injury, he still needs to replenish a large amount of fresh flesh to stabilize his state and avoid losing control.

What's more, he's such a half-ass!

The tall and thin man stood under the extinguished street lamp, incapacitated, struggling to contend with the tendency to get out of control.

……

After running for a while, Varina gradually calmed down.

He found that his judgment had been wrong.

If the other party is a "Bishop of the Rose", then why didn't you use "flesh magic" to sneak attack in the first place?

Immediately after, he discovered more details-

Before he was seriously injured in the end, the other party did not perform "flesh magic" at all;

After the other party is controlled by "connection", the reaction speed is not as fast as Marić and Qili in sequence 6;

Moreover, it is impossible for the "Bishop of Rose" to kill an "instigator" to behave so embarrassed.

And the most critical point -

The other party hasn't chased after him yet!

He felt that he should be right—

The other party is indeed a "hermit", but he has the magical items corresponding to the "Bishop of the Rose".

"Smack!"

Varina paused, the look on her face hesitant.

He wanted to go back and see.

That's the magical item for the "Bishop of the Rose"! It's a key item that will help him carry out his perfect plan!

Moreover, although he is now spiritually consumed, if he does not make a mistake in judgment, then the other party's state will only be worse than him.

After much hesitation, Varina touched the three remaining whalebone charms in the left pocket of his jacket, gritted his teeth and made up her mind.

He's going back and see!
