Lord of the Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability

When Hugues Artois saw the shining silver spear stabbing him, his first reaction was surprise and confusion.

He couldn't believe that someone would assassinate him, a member of Congress, under heavy protection in such a scene.

And the assassin's strength didn't seem particularly powerful.

Although he is a retired veteran, he has left the army for five or six years and entered the political arena. He has neglected fighting and cannot effectively dodge when the two sides are only one step away.

Not to mention him, even a Sequence 9 or even Sequence 8 Beyonder, if an assassin "sneaks" to his side and unleashes a "full blow", there is a high probability that he will not be able to escape. He can only see if his own abilities can help him avoid it. Critical or reduced damage, avoiding death on the spot.

Of course, some Sequence 8 or Sequence 9 Beyonders can detect danger or hostility in advance and will not let assassins really get close and launch attacks.

In the blink of an eye, Hugh Artois turned his attention to the red-haired Cassandra, the three official Beyonders, and his subordinates Rhone, Margaret and Beau with intense fear. Dewar.

But what caught his eyes was Cassandra, whose body and line of sight were blocked by the mixed-race Yinmre, with only a hint of red hair exposed. It was the official Beyonders Yinmre and Antoine who looked at him with calm and indifferent eyes. , it was Valentine who reacted immediately but controlled himself and seemed to be struggling, and Rhone, Marguerite and Baudoit who wanted to use extraordinary abilities to save people but did not dare to expose the evil god's gift. . At this moment, Yu Ge.

A feeling of extreme despair emerged from the depths of Artois's heart.

Please save me! Save me!

With a pop, the long-handled silver fork penetrated deeply into Hugues Artois's right eye, and was pushed by Jenna's full body strength. It pierced the eye socket and penetrated into the brain entirely, leaving only a little handle. The Ministry remains outside.

Hugues Artois's thoughts suddenly changed.

He wanted to reach out and grab something, but he couldn't even lift his arm.

I haven't become the president... I haven't welcomed the advent of great beings... I haven't received the gift of divinity... I can't die like that... Killed by an assassin with little ability. Get rid of... me, I don't want to die... A series of thoughts flashed through Hugh Artois's mind, and the sound of gunshots rang in his ears.

His body slumped to the ground, and his vision returned to darkness.

With a plop, Hugh Artois, the MP for the Candide Market district, fell to the ground and his heart stopped beating.

In the light that came from the direction of the chaotic street, Jenna, who had her eyes closed and a smile on her face, was shot once by agents from the nearby 7th Bureau.

One bullet struck her in the shoulder, and another in the ribs on the other side.

The pain caused her expression to change instinctively, and her body subconsciously shrank in the opposite direction, as if she was about to curl up into a ball.

She opened her eyes and saw Rona and other evil god believers staring at her with great hatred and confusion, but they did not take action.

The next second, a golden pistol with a magazine was pressed against Janna's head. The mixed-race Yin Mlei looked around and said, "I have controlled the assassin. Please see if Mr. Congressman can be saved and maintain it." Please maintain order at the scene and don’t let anyone leave for the time being.”

He made it a point to take Jenna back to St. Robles Church or to inquire about the cause of the assassination and the instigator on the spot, so as not to let Cassandra and others vent their anger.

As the "Shadow Tree" sank, a blazing light came out of it, and the streets that were separated in different places returned to their original state, but they were still in the wilderness.

Lumian had noticed that Susanna Matisse seemed unable to stir up his various desires from a long distance like before, so he turned around and planned to deal with Charlotte first.

The red flames on his body burned blazingly, causing his clothes to become blackened, causing varying degrees of burns to his skin and flesh, causing constant pain.

This stimulated his brain, allowing him to maintain a certain degree of wakefulness, and to use the endurance of the "dervish monk" to maintain thinking and action, instead of just fighting against the pain.

even though

For "arsonists", such burning will also cause harm, and as time goes by, it will become more and more serious until it is life-threatening.

Of course, Lumian's spirituality should have been unable to bear it long before this, and he could only let the flames go out on their own.

If he hadn't still had the gift of the "Mendicant Monk", after the battle inside the "Tree of Shadows" and the period of self-burning and consumption just now, his spirituality would have been a little tight now.

Seeing Lumian turn around and seeing "Red Boots" Franka holding a brass-colored classical revolver, stepping on a layer of frost condensed on the ground, and rushing towards this side in a gliding and flying posture, Xia Midori gave up the idea of ​​a sneak attack and prepared to return to the "Tree of Shadows" to deal with the enemy with the help of the environment there and the improvement of some of his own abilities.

Her body instantly became soft, as if some mucus was secreted. She "acted" like a snake creature, trying to use the environment full of vines and branches to quickly return to the brown-green giant tree.

At this moment, Emperor Xia Lu's body froze.

She was like facing a giant dragon, a hunter at the top of the biological chain. She could not help but instinctively feel fear and trembling, and became extremely panicked.

She started running in confusion around the position she was currently standing on, as if running away from an invisible enemy.

Not far away from her, on the vines and branches that hung everyone in the Golden Rooster Hotel, intelligence dealer Anthony Reed walked out from behind the iron-black gas lamp pole.

His dark brown eyes turned dark gold at some point and stood up.

He is a "Psychiatrist", a Sequence 7 "Psychiatrist" of the "Audience" path.

What I just used was "Shock"!

In very ancient times, this was also called "Dragon Power"!

The brown-green vines and branches around Anthony Reed that were controlled by Susanna rather than driven by the "Shadow Tree" were also frightened and fled from him one after another.

Seeing Xia Lu losing her mind and falling into chaos, unable to evade Lumian's attack any longer, Susanna, who was desperately absorbing energy, narrowed her eyes and cursed with uncontrollable resentment: "You will all die, you will all die today!"

Whoosh whoosh! On the "Tree of Shadows", newly grown tree trunks that did not belong to the main body were thrown at Lumian like javelins, trying to pierce his body and insert him into the wilderness.

In addition to the ability to use the "Fallen Dryad", Susanna Mathis has not yet recovered to the extent that it can affect targets dozens or hundreds of meters away.

Lumian had already anticipated this and rolled into the area where Charlotte was running in a chaotic circle.

The sound of Dongdongdong sounded, and those tree trunk javelins were inserted not far from him, like hammers striking the wilderness.

Lumian stood up, with red flames, slightly opened his arms, and laughed loudly: "Come on, kill me!"

If Susanna covers this area with a saturation attack again, he can still find a way to avoid it, and Charlotte, who falls into chaos, will definitely die!

While shouting, semi-illusory red fire crows once again condensed behind Lumian. They circled and followed several trajectories, locking on Charlotte Calvino.

The branches and vines on the ground surged up wildly and quickly wrapped around Charlotte, protecting her.

Booms and booms sounded one after another, and the red fire crows landed on Charlotte, shattering the branches, igniting the vines, and peeling off the "actor"'s shell layer by layer.

boom!

Franka, who had greatly shortened the distance, raised her right hand in a cooperative manner and pulled the trigger.

An iron-black bullet flew out of the classic brass-colored revolver, and accurately hit Charlotte's head with the help of the gap opened by the fire crows.

The charming and pure delicate face was instantly torn apart, and the eyes, nose, mouth and other organs were splashed everywhere with red or white liquid respectively.

The body with only the missing head ran chaotically for a few more steps before finally falling to the ground.

"Go to hell!" Susanna roared.

With those words, the brown branches,

Green vines, thick branches, pale flowers and other things in various forms flocked to Lumian, Franka and Anthony.

Although this scene was extremely scary, Lumian had no premonition of danger.

When Susanna Mattis has not yet recovered to a certain extent, this attack that consumes a huge amount of spiritual energy seems to be hollow.

Lumian ran again, carrying the red flames that were burning his own flesh and blood, and rushed into the scene that looked like a primeval forest.

The vines were set on fire, the flowers were burned, the branches were blackened, and the branches were avoided, but they failed to prevent the enemy from approaching the "Tree of Shadows".

Suddenly, these things shrank back, taking the suspended humans back to the "Tree of Shadows".

Susanna has figured it out. There is no need to waste energy just to vent her anger. It is better to wait for the three preys to close the distance on their own, enter the range where desire can play a role, and then use her best ability to take care of them.

She was very unwilling to accept her current weakness, which was one of the reasons why she did not recite the incantation to seek help at first. Before pulling the sacrifice into the "Tree of Shadows", the Son of God did not dare to appear in Trier. , and then, on the one hand, she was confident, but on the other hand, she had to advance the sacrifice to a certain extent. After obtaining the protection of that ritual, she could use the combination with the "Tree of Shadows" to face the Son of God.

That Son of God was extremely crazy and would never restrain the pollution he might bring to his subordinates.

The "Moon Lady" only promised to intercept possible saboteurs for a period of time, and Susanna did not dare to let believers of other gods retreat into the "Tree of Shadows".

Kick-starting, Lumian ran through the suddenly emptied wilderness and slightly dilapidated streets towards the giant brown-green tree. Franka and Anthony each chose an entry point and followed behind from different directions. .

Those vendors, pedestrians and tenants who were lucky enough not to be hung up by branches and vines took this opportunity to flee to the surrounding wilderness and to the edge.
