Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

The moment Klein finished speaking, six figures jumped out of the mist blown away by the strong wind, all wrapped in black cloaks. Their necks were empty without heads, and red blood continued to spill from the fractures to the ground.

Before anyone else could respond, Bishop Miller suddenly heard the sound of "whooshing" wind. Klein rolled subconsciously and dodged an invisible wind blade that cut traces on the ground.

No way to be distracted! This Storm Bishop's ability is even more powerful!

Compared to the extremely nervous Ellan and the slightly panicked Daniz, Esther was in a very calm mood.

Are they suddenly so brave?

The claw knife in Esther's right hand was wiped on the palm of her hand, and a few drops of blood splashed out between the blades. A gentle and wonderful buzzing sound swayed from her blood beads at the same time, and star-like light spots came from Esther's body. The strands of hair flew out, causing half of her blond hair to fade instantly.

A red Möbius strip appeared in Esther's palm and was instantly crushed by her.

The next moment, with Esther's palm as the center of the circle, gentle light spread out in the blink of an eye, and pale golden light spots filled the space, instantly covering the six headless monsters rushing towards her.

Their footsteps "kick, kick" took two steps back, then pounced on them, and then stepped back outwards again, repeating this process.

Esther's movements were not disturbed by this cycle at all. She took two quick steps to escape from the circle surrounded by these monsters.

Only she can do this. Anyone else would have been poisoned by "Logan's Claw".

While Bishop Miller was attracted by the light, Klein threw the "Sun Brooch" towards the captain closest to him: Ireland:

"Pour in spirituality! Five seconds, holy water!"

Klein rolled again and dodged another wind blade. Then he leaned forward and leaned down to reduce the overall area facing the wind. His feet kept jumping left and right, and he used his unique agility to rush in the direction of Bishop Miller.

Several wind blades were raised quickly, with bursts of sound piercing the air, trying to separate Klein who started to close the distance with Bishop Miller.

Those wind blades continued to cut the ground, leaving scratches like heavy sword slashes.

Esther's footsteps stopped at the farthest edge of the wind blade, keeping her distance from Klein's battlefield, but her eyes followed Klein's back and Bishop Miller's movements, waiting for an opportunity.

The dark red light in Bishop Miller's eyes suddenly lit up. He suddenly raised his hands, and a large number of wind blades flew out. The number and strength were enough to crush a house.

Klein only had time to dodge most of it, but his body turned into pieces of paper in an instant, and was blown up by the wind blade.

There was nothing in front of Bishop Miller, and he appeared completely in Esther's eyes. Klein's figure flashed out from the other side, leaving a gap.

Esther's left hand was aimed at Bishop Miller, and she opened and closed it suddenly.

Infinite probability reaches its limit, and "luck" makes her theft successful the first time.

Esther showed a bright smile:

"You have good abilities, now you are mine."

——

As soon as Clevis and the others stood firm against the strong wind, they immediately protected the passengers of the White Onyx who did not have any weapons behind them.

When Donna and Denton looked up and saw several headless monsters rushing towards Hamel, they were so nervous that they almost cried. But what happened next was far beyond what others knew.

Not even Daniz or Ellan had ever seen such a weird thing. The monsters were surrounded by a halo of light and kept repeating the motion of rushing forward and retreating on the spot.

After taking the "Sun Brooch", Ireland immediately emptied the wine bottle in his arms and started making holy water.

Esther took away Bishop Miller's ability to create wind blades, which completely established Klein's advantage. There was no need to worry here. She turned to the group of headless zombies and shouted to the other side:

"Danitz! Prepare your flames and use your strongest moves!"

"No need - you say it!"

The flames in Daniz's hands skyrocketed, condensing into a spear with a white flame at the tip. He worked too hard to gather his spiritual energy, and his face turned red.

Esther briefly retracted the "Logan's Claw" to her waist with her backhand, closed her hands, and several light points entered it from her temples, replacing the spiritual power needed to gather the wind blade.

While Esther concentrated on making the wind blade, she also warned Ellan and Daniz: "The cycle is about to be broken!"

Ireland is working hard to use the "Holy Emblem of the Sun" to pour the second round of holy water into the wine flask.

Daniz glanced at him and immediately had a plan in mind: "Throw it above them later!"

"Understood!" Ireland replied.

Accompanied by a distorted scream-like buzzing sound, the light covering the area turned into dots of light and quickly dissipated in the air. The six headless monsters broke out of the loop at the same time and continued to rush toward the center of the encirclement, but there was no one there.

As Esther opened her hands, the violent wind filled the front of her body, and several crescent-like waves opened up the airflow and rushed towards the group of headless monsters.

Under Esther's control, all the wind blades rolled towards the monsters' legs and feet. Just in a breath, the monsters' bodies lost their support and fell into a ball with a "plop" sound.

"Throw!"

Ireland threw the wine bottle filled with holy water over the heads of the monsters with his backhand. Daniz's feet sank, aiming at the small moving target, twisting his body and throwing the blazing flame spear in his hand with all his strength!

The square hip flask was completely penetrated, and the holy water exploded simultaneously with the flames. It was like a holy rain of flames, with the blazing flames and the sacred aura sweeping across the headless monster below.

They melted quickly and were completely purified.

Esther's expression was dazed for a moment.

"Red Priest" and "Sun"... merge together.

But now was not the time to be dazed. She immediately came to her senses and turned her attention to the battlefield on Klein's side.

Klein's battle had just come to an end when the palm of his black glove on his left hand squirmed and opened a bloody mouth, swallowing up his soul and flesh together with Bishop Miller's miserable howl.

Esther breathed a sigh of relief, Klein was as reliable as ever, this solved it!

Klein turned around and nodded at Esther. Esther took a quick glance at everyone's situation and said quickly: "It's settled here, no one was injured."

Donna and the others were not seriously injured, but when they were blown out by the strong wind at first, several adults had some scratches on their bodies, while the two children were caught by Esther and were unscathed.

Klein walked to the side, picked up his half-high silk hat that had been blown off, brushed off the dust on it expressionlessly, and put it back on his head.

The remaining light in the air gathered into light spots and flew back to Esther's head, dyeing the half of her silver hair back with color.

Esther stared at the ground where Bishop Miller disappeared. A thumb-sized crystal condensed on the ground, like a blue crystal, but from time to time there was a surging blackness emerging from it.

It smelled like sea breeze, which did not have much appeal to Esther.

But she glanced at Daniz subconsciously, and it seemed that the smell of gunpowder and rust when they first met was not an illusion, because he was an Extraordinary...

Esther rubbed her nose again. Did she still need to collect the smells of the twenty-two paths to distinguish them?

But she silently remembered the word that came to mind just now, "Red Priest."

Klein arranged his equipment, picked up Bishop Miller's Extraordinary Characteristics, and then pulled out a crudely made paper figurine, flicking his wrist suddenly.

The paper man was ignited in the air, and when Klein released his fingers, it flew down lightly and turned into ashes in mid-air.

"Should we stop taking telegrams?" Esther couldn't help but look at Ireland, "It's better to leave here as soon as possible. There's something wrong with that telegraph station as well."

Ireland was still a little hesitant, but considering the strange abilities Esther had shown before, he quickly made up his mind and nodded: "Okay, let's get back to the ship as soon as possible."

Klein looked back at the two of them and touched his bloody cane on the ground:

"Let's go."

——

When they finally stepped onto the deck of the White Onyx, everyone felt a little relieved.

Although there were no more monsters on the way, everyone tensed up and was nervously prepared for possible enemies.

Klein waited at the end until everyone boarded the boat, then he quickly followed behind.

Donna and Denton seemed to want to talk to Klein and Esther, but after Esther's soft words of comfort, Klein shook his head at the two children expressionlessly: "Go back, we'll talk tomorrow."

Donna was quite smart and immediately nodded and took Denton's hand. Both children made a "silence" gesture, indicating that they were willing to keep a few people secret.

Daniz and Esther stood on the side of the ship, looking at Bansi Port shrouded in fog.

Esther narrowed her eyes, and a faint light passed through her eyes: "I don't like this place very much."

Daniz fully agreed with her words: "I don't like it either, it's really bullshit! There are monsters everywhere. I never want to come here again!"

"But if such a big thing happens, the official church should take care of it, right? After all, the bishop is still one of theirs." Esther leaned against the bulwark, swinging the claw knife between her fingers, "The ability of the wind blade is really impressive. People envy..."

Danitz was very surprised: "Didn't you use it before?"

"Short-term, just for a moment."

Esther glanced at Daniz and decided to let him go instead of directly stealing the ability to condense flames for fun, which would frighten Daniz.

However, her expression was still too obvious, and Daniz could tell at a glance what she was thinking:

"Don't steal my ability!"

"I didn't say or do anything." Esther lazily raised her hands in a gesture of surrender.

Captain Ireland walked over and looked at Daniz: "Fire flame?"

"Haha, guess what." Daniz replied dryly.

Ireland's emotional intelligence is very high: "I don't think so."

After saying that, he glanced at Esther again and nodded to her, but tried hard to suppress the curiosity in his heart.

The less we know about some secrets, the better. Ireland has served in the Royal Navy and knows this truth.

After Ireland left, Klein also came over and stood in the empty seat between Esther and Daniz, looking at Bansi Island shrouded in mist like the two of them.

Another dazzling thunderstorm sounded next to the mountain peak. Even from such a distance, it was extremely clear under the night.

"I think I'd better go back and take a nap," Esther rubbed the center of her right eyebrow, "That's about it. Maybe members of the Church of Storms will come to inquire about the situation later."

Perhaps because of the relationship they had fought together, Danitz's attitude towards Esther became much more easy-going, but he was still quite afraid of Gehrman.

Now that Esther mentioned that she wanted to go back to rest, Daniz immediately seized this opportunity to speak:

"Then I'll go back too, so as not to meet them face to face. Uh, good night?"

"Good night."

Klein replied calmly, still standing on the side of the ship without moving.

He looked like a sculpture carved from ice, waiting for the first rays of sunlight to thaw him out.
