And just as he was staring in shock, that gothic girl who moved like a phantom suddenly made a grasping motion in the air toward his direction.
Rip—
A flash of cursed arts brilliance passed by.
Accompanied by a sharp, tearing shriek.
Under the cutting of those crystalline threads, his body was instantly sliced into countless neat chunks of flesh, clattering as they fell to the ground.
The timing of this move was extrely precise and perfect, striking like lightning precisely at that mont when his thoughts were in turmoil.
She did not act until the mont ca, and once she did, it was a killing blow!
"Well done, Miss Puppet!"
Lynn shouted loudly, without any hesitation, he imdiately retrieved the Arm of Dragon Breath he had treasured for so long and been reluctant to use from the System Space.
Because he knew, in a situation like this, he absolutely could not give that Plague Doctor any chance to catch his breath.
In an instant.
The pitch-black and ferocious Arm of Dragon Breath violently linked onto his shoulder.
In the eyes of the ferocious black dragon head, a furious, magma-like fiery might suddenly ignited.
"Dragon Breath!"
Lynn gritted his teeth fiercely, the savage dragon's mouth instantly filling with raging flas.
Whoosh—
The scorching dragon fla instantly enveloped those twisted chunks of flesh on the ground.
Accompanied by sizzling lting sounds, what was horrifying was that the chunks of flesh and organs being slted within the flas actually emitted sharp, scorched shrieks.
He wasn't dead yet!
Because the System notification hadn't sounded.
This was also why Lynn acted without hesitation, because this was the Dark World after all, and what he was facing was a Plague Doctor. If they could be killed so simply and easily, then they would be too undeserving of their reputation.
[Ding! Target's vitality is continuously decreasing!]
"You dare—trick !"
From within the billowing flas, Sen Yi's ferocious roar suddenly ca.
He imdiately saw that on the shattered flesh being crazily slted, ferocious mouths abruptly opened one after another.
Whoosh—
In an instant, a cacophony like a flock of crows, directly piercing into the mind, resounded throughout the entire corridor.
It was as if countless people were whispering in your ear, frantically assaulting your brain and nerves, making you uncontrollably fall into madness.
It seed like the whispers of an Evil God, or like nightmares from the deepest recesses of the mind.
Frantically stripping away your sanity.
[Warning! You are being continuously affected by "Maddening Cacophony"!]
[Ding! Your SAN -30]
Almost imdiately upon contact, Lynn's sanity began uncontrollably and rapidly being stripped away and reduced.
But almost simultaneously, Hei Xianyue raised her head, countless threads shot out from her slender hands, weaving the entire corridor into an exquisite net.
She gently raised her hand and plucked.
Hum—
Accompanied by the vibration of the threads.
Like plucking the strings of a soul, the maddening cacophony was instantly suppressed.
[Ding! You are affected by "Soul String Tone," your SAN 35]
Hum—
Accompanied by the second vibration of the string tone.
The maddening cacophony was directly suppressed to within a range of less than two ters.
And within the lting flas, the scorched flesh and corpse oil were still frantically writhing and struggling, continuously emitting bursts of sharp shrieks.
And then in the next mont.
That flesh abruptly swelled, then exploded with a boom into countless streams of blood, splattering in all directions.
Squelch—
The viscous blood landed on the walls, lting the walls and producing wisps of corrosive mist.
At the sa ti the blood splattered, Hei Xianyue appeared before Lynn like a phantom, instantly opening the black umbrella in her hand, blocking the splashes of corrosive blood.
"He's still not dead?! What a tenacious fellow!"
Lynn suppressed the pain in his temples, suddenly raised the Arm of Dragon Breath, and vigilantly looked toward the bloodstains all over the floor.
His body had been completely lted.
But clearly.
The System still hadn't shown a kill record notification.
That ant he must have used so special thod at the very last mont to transfer his consciousness elsewhere.
"Miss Puppet, can you locate his position?"
Lynn turned his head and asked.
Hei Xianyue slowly extended her hand, a black thread quietly erged from the cracks in the floor, winding around her little finger.
"I can."
...
At the sa ti, in a room on the first floor.
A corpse with a torn neck lay on the bed, the entire room filled with a strong stench of blood and rot.
And then in the next mont, within that eerie silence.
The chest cavity of that corpse began to writhe.
Rip—
Accompanied by the sound of eerie, twisting flesh and blood.
A bloody hand suddenly pierced out from the chest cavity of that corpse.
Followed by an arm, a head, a torso.
Like the birth of an infant, a humanoid creature with skin that was constantly writhing all over its body arduously climbed out from within that corpse.
"Damn it!"
He gritted his teeth, his face full of ferocity, and suddenly pushed the door open and rushed out.
He had been too careless, he never expected that human to have a Transcendent-level puppet protecting him.
He once again recalled what that guy had said.
Could it be that everything he said was true?
Had the Inverted Angel already noticed their movents in Nightfall City, and thus turned their sche against them, specifically setting a trap for him to jump into?
Otherwise.
How else could that puppet be explained?!
If that was really the case, then an operation to round them up had probably already begun silently.
He truly never expected.
That human's mind was so ticulous, this ti they had underestimated him.
"I must quickly notify the others, if there's still ti!"
He clenched his teeth tightly, suddenly rushed to the center of the first-floor Main Hall, and abruptly pressed both hands onto the ground.
Whoosh—
In an instant, a massive blood-red Magic Circle slowly erged on the ground, precisely the restrictive formation he had specially prepared for this hunting operation.
He had cursed the entire hotel, shaping it into a cursed arts space isolated from the outside world.
If that puppet hadn't appeared.
He believed he could have quietly eliminated that human.
But at this mont, this blood formation ant to prevent that human from escaping had instead beco a cage restricting him.
"Hurry! Hurry!"
He clenched his teeth tightly, his eyes bloodshot.
Staring at the blood-red patterns spreading outward, every second felt like torture to him.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
But just as the blood formation was about to be dispelled.
His fingers suddenly froze there, as if ti had stopped, his body maintaining that posture, unable to move.
His pupils trembled, all the muscles in his body straining with cracking sounds.
But his body seed unable to receive his commands, completely out of his control.
One after another, crystal-clear threads reflected faint brilliance in the dim light of the hall.
This is...
When did...
