At this time, look at the torn limbs that the Mithril guards are holding in their hands, and they have all turned into wooden dolls.

The miraculous clown trick drew exclamations from the surrounding onlookers.

Moreover, [Bone Clown] Kraskin is not a nobody on this sea.

The reason why he has the weird title of "bone-eating" is because of his clown tricks.

So much so that it can quietly steal the bones in the enemy's body, and the enemy can't react.

Once touched by his hands, nothing good will end.

It's a pity that under the cover of the Golden Law, the entire Taiman Islands is the royal domain and dragon's nest of the regent Catherine, and there is no such thing as a sneak attack at all.

Realizing that the crazy [bone-eating clown] was not dead, Catherine was not shocked, and snorted coldly:

"Ridiculous! Do you think we, the Mithril Knights, are those crispy beast tamers? Without the protection of the Beast, you are helpless against your attacks?

Give me death! ”

He stomped on his right foot, which was wearing Mithril Boots.

A brilliant halo of bright silver exploded all over his body, manifesting into a three-dimensional "Marichesky circle" composed of lines, numbers and formulas.

The white light between the mouth and nose swallowed, and the silver moon bracelet on the wrist instantly expanded, turning into a two-handed giant sword that struck people with cold light.

Although it is a greatsword, Mithril's superior performance makes it no heavier than an ordinary swift sword, and it is like a goose feather in the hand.

Qiang ——!

Under the perfect integration of "flow" to the body, Mithril's hand, and sword moves, twist your body and swing your sword.

In a flash of cold light, the clown's two pale arms flew straight into the sky.

The sword momentum is not stopped, one flash, another flash, three flashes.

Not only the arms that flew into the sky, but all the gift boxes within three meters of her body were all smashed in an instant.

The secret swordsmanship of the supreme art [Circle of Rituals].

Sacrifice to any enemy who dares to set foot in this circle, and grant absolute kill!

The supreme technique only opened the lowest level of the "Sword of the Swordsman", and that kind of wanton murderous aura still made people's hairs stand on end and their bone marrow froze.

Even if there were a few third-order transcendents nearby, none of them dared to step forward to try the edge of the [Circle of Sacrifices].

Catherine realizes that there is an obvious abnormality in this clown, which is definitely not the ability of a normal clown.

After one move, he did not let his guard down.

Instead, he exercised the power of the royal lord, the custom law, and silently ordered in his heart:

"I pronounce my sentence as Lord Regent: Kolaskin, the leader of the Clown Pirate Band, is a wanted criminal.

There is nowhere to hide in the royal realm, nowhere to live, and the law decrees the death penalty! ”

An invisible coercion descended on the battlefield.

This kind of instant death usually doesn't work for her peers, but Catherine doesn't believe that this elusive creature has really been unscathed so far.

Sure enough.

As soon as Catherine finished speaking, the puppet's limbs, which had been left aside by the Mithril guards, suddenly shook violently.

The broken wound is strung together by countless transparent silk threads, and it is about to be reassembled into a complete clown.

"Ah, this puppet is really Kraskin's body! Want to sneak up on it again? ”

"Even if the [Clown Trick] is amazing, the essence is nothing more than a combination of various illusions and extraordinary abilities.

In no way can it change the nature of his life.

I'm afraid there's something big wrong with this guy. ”

"I heard that some time ago, he led his flagship [Circus] deep into the 'Serpent of the World: Celestial Sphere Circulation', which is very likely to hide the New World.

It didn't take long to know what had happened to him, and he fled back to the Bantaan Islands with heavy losses.

But when people met him, they said that he had made a major discovery, and he would soon regroup and re-enter the celestial circulation, and his name would also shine in the annals of history.

I'm afraid this guy has encountered something of great interest, but it is extremely dangerous. ”

Catherine also heard the whispers of the other bystanders, and roughly determined the current state of the [Bone-eating Clown].

"It is evident that human nature has begun to drift, far from divinity, and is constantly degrading towards the beast*.

If you don't get a strong enough anchor in a short period of time, I'm afraid it will really turn into a weird grotesque.

Why did such a troublesome and annoying guy come to our turf?

Don't let me know who's behind this crazy person who is about to lose himself, or I'm going to make you look good. ”

His heart was in a hurry, but his movements were not slow.

Immediately commanded the Mithril guards to swing their weapons, completely knocking the puppet's limbs into pieces, and cutting the silk threads into shreds.

Only one of the puppet's heads reacted the fastest, opening its mouth wide and inflating again like a balloon.

When the Mithril Guard stabbed with a spear, his head, which had swelled to the size of a carriage, exploded instantly.

Boom!

Huge amounts of viscous colored pigment that I don't know if it's brain pulp or blood were scattered all over the streets.

The disgusting stench also filled half of the port area like a biological weapon.

Under their cover, few people noticed, and many of the pieces that made up the puppet's head also flew far away.

Colored wigs, glass-made eyes, oil-painted wooden blocks, and other parts are unusual.

Only the red nose like a ball flew the farthest, and with the force of the impact, it flew all the way out of the port area and landed on the beach by the sea.

Then he squirmed slightly and grew a bunch of tentacles as white as a clown's face, supporting the tip of his nose.

This is the only place in his body that is truly fleshy.

The nose with a bunch of tentacles was about to continue its escape towards the sea, but was trampled by a military boot that suddenly fell from the sky.

"Squeak Squeak"

Desperately struggling to let out a series of shrill strange screams, but they couldn't break free.

"After receiving the alert, it was not too late to come back, barely in time for the finish.

My sister is becoming more and more violent.

However, the bone-eating clown? What the hell is this? ”

It was Byron who hurried back from the sky.

At the same time as Catherine, he received an invasion alert from the Golden Law.

Immediately bid farewell to Bruch, who put on the mask again, and his fiancée [Fairy] Rygrell, who wore Tilyl's skin, and rushed back to the Taiman Islands with Jacqueline, who still hadn't woken up.

The Golden Law is the strongest eye in the sky, and there is no way to escape even if it is just a nose.

Catherine didn't make a move, just because she found out that Byron had rushed back and took care of his sense of involvement.

Jacqueline's cheap cousin saw more and more secrets.

Until I'm promoted to the third rank and reveal my identity to the Lancaster Party, I still won't let her out of my sight.

This guy is born with the potential to do big things. ”

Throw her on the beach.

At the same time, throw an [Echo of History] at the tip of the nose, where it is clearly running out of power, and try to read the information on it.

"Quack"

A few strange clowns laughed in my ears, and then the beach twisted in front of me, revealing a strange scene like a circus.

The sight of flowers and greenery is not real, the nasal cavity is filled with the thick smell of blood, and the brain is as disgusted as if it has been on a roller coaster for dozens of times.

At the same time, a group of weird clowns in different costumes were walking towards him step by step with weird smiles.

It wasn't until the Storm Ring's ability to resist the curse was activated on its own that Byron suddenly came back to his senses, and his face changed:

"Cursed Spirit!"

At this time, a new text had appeared on the logbook in the right eye:

"Part of the Bone Eater Kraskin, the head of the Clown Pirates.

【Level 0 Cursed Spirit: Frolicking Clown】Polluted"

Limited to the level of both sides, Byron could only read so much information.

However, the middle and high sequence transcendents, as well as the high-level leaders of various countries, are no strangers to the name of the frolicking clown.

Immortal Cursed Spirit [Frolicking Clown]:

"Long before the birth of the clown profession, the prototype was just a disguised murderer who used cruel means to create a large number of cases of missing children.

Eventually, he was caught by angry citizens and retaliated with his skin peeled off alive.

Then the human skin, which was paraded through the streets, turned into a cursed thing under the strong resentment: a wig, a red nose, and a three-piece suit of clothes.

It is also called a 'clown suit'.

For the first time, the appearance of a clown was born in the world.

It tricks humans into wearing it, but once it puts it on, it can't take it off, but instead grows with the wearer and slowly turns into a man-eating monster.

Until the next time it is killed.

Moreover, the clown suit has the property of 'frolic', and as its power increases, it can tease fate, so that no prophecy can lock it.

The power of fear is constantly being unleashed, and so is the power of the clown.

It eventually polluted an entire city on the Old World, turning its home and birthplace into a huge and terrifying black fairy tale paradise. ”

"And that's not all.

It also uses paradise as a medium to open up a gap between the real world and the essentia sea, allowing many dark fairy tales in history and legends to invade the real world with that paradise as the core.

It has caused a huge and extraordinary natural disaster.

As with the Relic, a rating of zero means that the Hipster is enough to threaten the entire world.

The image of the clown has also become synonymous with horror. ”

Byron recalled the various clowns he had seen since he was a child, and subconsciously shivered:

"How could anyone in the world find this kind of thing funny?

They've stepped into the uncanny valley of humanity, right? ”

The scholars of the Tower Sequence have made a statistic of the things that humans fear from "least human" to "most human".

I found that when things are "human-like, but not so human-like", it can trigger the strongest fears in the audience.

That's it: the uncanny valley.

Corpses, ghosts, and clowns are all in the uncanny valley.

However, in the mainstream perception, why do the inhabitants of the Old World think of the Joker as a comedic character?

This is because the [Night Watch] department of the church really can't think of a good way to seal each other.

The Silver Law can only be mobilized and paid a huge price to carry out the entire reality level of memetic modifications.

Starting from the bottom of the collective subconscious of the entire human race, most human beings are no longer afraid of the image of the clown, and even forcibly bound to funny.

Of course, this also leads to an unpredictable side effect called the "memory bias effect":

The public's collective memory of history often does not correspond to the facts.

For example, I remember that a celebrity died many years ago, but suddenly I read in the newspaper that he was holding a memorial service.

There is a serious deviation between group memory and reality, and if you recall carefully, there are many, many similar things.

At the same time, a new profession of [Joker] has also appeared in the Hall sequence.

Every clown who brings happiness to the audience is a dam used to seal the [Frolicking Clown].

Even so, more than a quarter of the respondents in a survey were adamant that they were afraid of clowns.

This is the most instinctive survival response of human beings, and it is difficult to eradicate.

also makes that terrifying [Frolic Clown] have enough strength to break through the mental defense line of the clown profession from time to time.

Little by little, they are transformed into evil spirits and grotesques similar to themselves.

Tainted clowns gain eerie variant abilities based on five clown tricks: vanishing, changing, predicting, levitating, and seeking.

Sometimes the Sex Clown will respond to the ritual by sending a part of the clown suit to which he is attached to the cursed object, such as a head, to the real world.

Forms a variety of secondary curses.

It is claimed that there are human beings, and where there is fear, there will be frolicking clowns.

The Bone Eater will not be the first and will never be the last of the fallen people polluted by this cursed spirit.

And after seeing the Kraken's Touch, the Serpent of a Thousand Faces Hydra, and the Mother of Creation Lilith, these super-spec existences.

Byron suspects that the Joker may have reached that level of oversize.

And unlike those who existed before the dead era, it's still alive!
