The sword aura is pale and sharp.

Dead air fills the earth and breaks through the earth.

Not only was the ground under Arthur's feet cut, but the six layers of defense placed in it were also shattered at the touch of a button, and there was no defense effect at all.

Even, the sword qi that Arthur raised his hand and swung it became sharper and stronger.

Because—

These six layers of defense are all dead air construction.

When Arthur lets go of Death's Breath, these defenses are essentially non-existent.

All sucked by Arthur.

Then, it was filled with [Death Slash].

Airplanes!

The unique brilliance is gone.

Horton died.

But they weren't all dead.

In the body split in two, a translucent soul floated.

Standing above the ground, Arthur looked down.

The young medium's gaze scanned everything in his vision with great interest through the rift cut by himself—

The 10-centimeter-wide sadhana is depicted on the pitch-black soil with blood mixed with the flesh foam of the heart, forming an acute triangle with two opposite angles, one large and one small, and a scarlet sadhana goes straight up about 3 meters from the intersection of these two corners, and then begins to fork, and the two sadhanas become oblique upwards, lasting about 1 meter, and then come to the end, the sadhana connects two circles of the same size and a radius of about 50 centimeters.

From Arthur's point of view, among the acute triangles of different sizes, the small one has a cervical vertebrae with a skull inserted into it, a very fresh one, the blood has long been cleansed, but the cerebral marrow and tissue fluid are flowing slowly, and the large one is placed in seven pairs of eyeballs, and the eyeballs are facing each other.

In two circles of the same size, there is a ......

Goat horn smeared with ashes!

For Arthur, who has a lot of experience, the ashes are still quite recognizable.

And the position where Horton was originally standing was where the ritual line branched upward.

But as the sword qi fell, the corpse that was divided into two formed a strange shape with the two rituals upward.

Arthur easily controlled the intensity of the [Death Slash] and did not damage the ritual on the ground, so that Horton was not completely dead - in the [Spiritual] perception, Arthur could clearly perceive that Horton's ghost appeared with the help of the power in the ritual.

A clearer perception is ......

Hunger for oneself.

Arthur's bloodline [Death Serpent. Thin. The feeling of 'hunger' that arises from the body.

And when you are hungry, you suddenly smell stew.

Fragrant!

It's so fragrant!

It smells so good that it makes your mouth water!

Because of this, Arthur did not destroy the earthly rituals.

This ritual worked for him.

And Horton in the ghost state?

It was a pure accident.

Therefore, Arthur raised his hand and prepared to destroy the other party.

Horton's perception in the ghost state became more and more acute, and when Arthur's heart moved, the member of the 'Dead Poets Society' immediately shouted.

"Wait, Lord Credos.

Why do you call me Little Sparrow? ”

The other party is procrastinating again.

Arthur smiled.

Because, the rituals on the ground are getting more and more fragrant.

It seems that because of the presence of Horton's ghost, the rituals on earth are running in some unknown state.

'Ritual of vendettas?

Can ghosts be done too?

Still is......

Originally intended for ghosts? ’

Everyone has a soul, but after death, the soul of most ordinary people will fall into a state of confusion and go to the 'place of eternal rest'.

Only souls who have come into contact with the 'mysterious side' have the opportunity to become ghosts and stay in the world.

And the chances of this becoming a 'ghost' are not high.

About one in a thousand.

Such a chance was directly bumped into by Horton, and Arthur said that he would not believe anything.

As a result, Arthur begins to doubt the nature of the Ritual of Resentment.

However, the speculation in his heart did not affect Arthur's words.

"Give me control of those two puppets - I believe in fairness, so, you give me two puppets and I answer you a question, that's fair, right?"

Before Horton was completely dead, the two golems remained in their original state.

For Arthur, the two puppets were the original goal.

Even with an unexpected discovery, Arthur never loses sight of his original goal.

People, we must not forget our original intention!

And in the face of Arthur, who did not forget his original intention, and Horton, who was in a ghost state, ripples immediately appeared on the illusory figure, making his body become distorted.

Obviously, Horton was furious at the moment.

But the member of the 'Dead Poets Society' still had a smile on his face, and said in a state of almost grovel—

"Of course!

That's fair! ”

As he spoke, Horton manipulated the [Exquisite Golem] to Arthur's side, and shrank back into the shape of the puppet.

Then, an item drops.

It was a thin mask.

[Name: The Face of Covering]

[Type: Other types of items]

[Quality: Hero]

[Attributes: 1, easy to disguise; 2, masking; 3. Dark Perception]

[Note: This is the masterpiece of Carmen, the most shining thief of the Silver Age, after his mid-aged cap, Carmen, who has extraordinary talent and intelligence, was unwilling to lose his ability to use 'lockpicking' because of baldness when he made great progress in alchemy, so he made this mask, he hoped that he could have a kaleidoscopic appearance and beautiful hair, and then ...... He's halfway there—his appearance can change in a thousand ways, but the top of his head is still bald. 】

……

[Disguise: You can record 3 faces you have seen, and when you wear a mask, you have such a look.] 】

[Mask: This mask has the effect of shielding perception, which will give your concealment and stealth modifier level +1]

[Dark Perception: When you are wearing a mask at night, you will gain a transcendent perception with a radius of 30 meters, within this range, your field of vision will become 360° at the same time, you can see through a certain degree of invisibility, stealth, supernatural darkness, etc.] 】

(Note 1: Disguise only changes the appearance, but does not change the body shape, let alone has the strength of the other party)

(Note 2: When your face is too large for the 'Hidden Side' to cover, the 'Hidden Face' will be completely useless.)

……

When Arthur picked up the mask with the Hand of Nothingness, it was quite a surprise.

I was surprised by the props made by that 'old friend' thief, and I was even more surprised by the cunning of this guy Holden.

After choosing to imitate the character target, the [Delicate Golem] can change back to the puppet form again, but it cannot change the predetermined character form.

And when there is an extra [Hidden Face], there is a lot of room for operation.

Arthur could even imagine that the character imitated by Horton's [Exquisite Human Puppet] must be the most inconspicuous kind.

Only in this way can the [Exquisite Golem] be able to do more things.

Thinking in his heart, Arthur picked up the [Exquisite Golem] handed by the [Hand of Nothingness] again, which was the same as the [Exquisite Golem] he had obtained before.

This filled Arthur's heart with joy.

With one more [Exquisite Puppet], he can do even more.

Moreover, there is another very special human puppet.

The thought of that man's puppet 'Ranker' performance made Arthur look forward to it.

However, if you want this puppet to 'start safely' and 'debut' smoothly afterward, you still need some arrangement.

After all, the puppet was fighting Malinda.

This partner of his is not to be fooled.

Thinking of this, Arthur looked at Horton with a smile on his face.

Horton immediately shuddered.
