Brother, something, you're really running!

Malinda complained about Arthur's 'goodbye' - the woman knew very well that her partner must have found something before leaving secretly.

But this did not prevent the lady from scolding Arthur's heart.

Because—

The 'Ranker' in front of her was aimed at her.

Her power is based on 'smoke', supplemented by 'undead'.

And the 'Ranker' on the opposite side is 'Tempest'.

What happens to the smoke against the storm?

Nature is gone.

As for the remaining undead?

Without the main 'smoke', the only three points of 'undead' power left will be crushed to death in the face of the opponent's 'storm'.

The pipe in Malinda's mouth began to flicker rapidly.

It's not anxious.

It's hesitation.

'Do you have to use that trick?' ’

Everyone has a hole card at the bottom of the box.

Malinda, of course, is no exception.

It's just that......

With this hole card, she is likely to cause great trouble.

That's something she absolutely doesn't want to see.

So—

Drag!

Thinking of this, Malinda took a deep breath of smoke.

Then, he spit out heavily.

Suddenly, the thick smoke turned into a cloud of mist, completely enveloping the surroundings.

But the next moment—

Woo!

The wind was raging, and as soon as the middle-aged man in military uniform with a grim face raised his hand, the entire mist was blown away, but Malinda's figure also disappeared.

In its place is an 'undead'.

Or rather, to be precise, a skeletal warrior appeared behind the 'Ranked', and the rusty sword in his hand slashed straight down.

At the same time, a skeletal palm emerged from the 'Ranker' and firmly grasped the 'Ranker's ankle.

The cold power poured into the body of this 'Ranker'.

But immediately, it was blown away.

Woo!

The wind reappeared.

Not only was it the cold undead power that poured into the body of this 'Ranker', but the palm of the bone that grabbed the 'Ranker' was shattered along with the skeleton warrior who appeared behind the other party.

But the bone residue in the sky did not dissipate.

The shattered bone slag turned into a skeleton warrior with four arms in the wind, and once again pounced on the 'Ranked' with a silent roar.

The power of cold is stronger.

It's far more powerful than before.

But this 'Ranker' didn't even look at it, and the whole person turned into a violent wind and rushed to one side.

There, beside the empty road, ripples immediately sparked.

Malinda's figure appeared there, retreating at great speed.

This 'Ranker' suddenly accelerated, but as soon as he approached this place, the other party immediately frowned-

Rumble!

In the huge roar, a pillar of fire with a diameter of 3 meters rose into the sky from under the opponent's feet.

The 10-meter-long pillar of fire soared into the sky like a uniquely shaped firework.

The people in the vicinity of Southtown were attracted by the light.

Arthur naturally saw this scene clearly.

'Well done!

Malinda, come on!

Watch out for you! ’

The young 'psychic' who was scurrying down shook his fist in the direction of Malinda's battle, and after giving heartfelt encouragement, his eyes looked back at the depths of the dense forest directly ahead.

With the help of Fokin's vision, when the 'Ranker' appeared, Arthur determined the approximate location of the other party.

And, quickly, locked the exact location of the other party.

As for why not catch up?

Naturally, it's because of the human puppet!

At the time of the 'Tier' appearance, Arthur was not so sure.

Although there was a hint of familiarity in the 'Ranked', the young 'Medium' was not sure if the puppet would be able to reach the level of the 'Ranked'.

Therefore, Arthur had doubts in his heart.

However, when the opponent's position was determined and the opponent was locked, Arthur was confirmed.

That 'Ranker' turned out to be really a human puppet.

Because—

The one he's following is the puppet.

Or [Exquisite Human Puppet]!

Arthur, who has a [Delicate Golem] as a vest, knows too much about [Exquisite Golem].

It can even be said that no one knows the [Exquisite Human Puppet] better than him.

After the active [spiritual] perception confirmed this, Arthur did not act immediately, but silently followed, and at the same time sighed in his heart-

Is this a new path?

Even 'Advanced' level golems can be made!

That......

What about the higher-level 'Ascenders'?

I guess it's okay too! ’

Arthur recalls a note about the Delicate Golem, which accurately states that Robin, the original maker of the puppet, found a new path from 'alchemy'.

At that time, Arthur did not understand much about the word 'road'.

But as he grew stronger and read more books on the mystical side, Arthur understood what the word 'road' stood for in the mystical side.

'Stairlifter'!

Only those who have climbed the ladder are worthy of the word 'road'.

The puppets of the ''Ranks' are remarkable enough.

The puppet of the 'Ladder Climber' is really terrifying.

No wonder that Master Robin was convinced that he could finally overthrow the Holy Empire!

I don't know, is the puppet of the 'Ascender' still alive? ’

Arthur pondered, then shook his head slightly.

It's one thing to have faith, it's another to be able to succeed.

As Arthur knew, the Holy Empire wasn't overthrown by the Robin Master - of course, the Master was a contributor.

But failure is also a certainty.

And with the cruel methods of the Holy Empire, the fate of this master will definitely not be too good.

After all, there is more than one master who was burned to death in the Holy Empire.

And the works of those masters are most likely destroyed.

Even if they are kept, they can only be used by the Holy Empire, and then, with the fall of the Holy Empire, these items are consumed and destroyed again.

After entering the Silver Age, the nobles fought openly and secretly, and these props continued to be consumed and destroyed.

With the beginning of the 'Seven Years' War, these items were consumed and destroyed in large quantities.

As a result, Arthur doesn't have much hope that the master's 'Stairlifter' puppet will survive.

Even if there were, this kind of thing was definitely in the hands of those big nobles.

He wants to wait?

Hard.

However, the 'Climber' puppet is hard to come by.

But it's not that difficult to get another [exquisite puppet].

Even, the 'Ranked' puppet can be easily obtained.

Thinking in his heart, Arthur's eyes narrowed slightly-

He knew exactly what the other party was trying to do.

Stall!

Complete the ritual!

That ritual is most likely the rumored 'Ritual of Resentment'.

And apart from this possibility, Arthur really couldn't think of what made the members of the 'Dead Poets Society', who were still ordinary people for the time being, hide in No. 6 White Bird Street, and make such a big move.

If that's the case, then you're welcome......

I'm going to make up my mind about these two puppets! ’

The corners of the young 'psychic's mouth curled slightly.
