Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery
#254 - Odysseus on fire
Rupert's teacher looked very weak, but there didn't seem to be any wounds on his body.
He smiled when he saw Audis's expression that he was about to hit someone: "The reason I say this is because although we were looking forward to your rescue, my spirituality also realized that there would be danger in the rescue process."
"This is a rather contradictory thing, making me not know how to choose."
Audis nodded slightly: "I understand."
This explanation makes it more understandable.
"Please sit down." Rupert's teacher said calmly: "We are safe until we take action."
Then he introduced himself: "I am Rupert's teacher, Kleist Ryan. Thank you for your help to Rupert."
"It's not free help." Audis reminded: "The reward is that Rupert becomes my crew member, and if there is a battle, all the spoils belong to me and my companions."
Kleist smiled and said, "Frankly, this is a pretty good condition. Perhaps I should also thank you for inviting Rupert on board."
"Because I can feel that Rupert's fate has changed, and it is changing for the better. After that, his life has added many opportunities."
Audis sighed: "Your ability is pretty good."
You don't have to do anything every day, just walk on the street and see if you can meet someone who can make you lucky, or someone who can change your destiny, and opportunities will come.
This will make them do everything with half the effort.
"Unfortunately, this is still a passive skill." Kleist seemed to trust Audis very much, explaining very clearly: "Only after you invite Rupert on board can I perceive the corresponding changes in his luck."
Audis smiled: "At least this way you know you are following the right person."
He didn't continue this topic, but asked: "Are your injuries serious? Can you still fight?"
Kleist lifted his upper garment, and Audis and others saw a fleshy ball-like thing trembling slightly on his abdomen.
This fleshy ball occupied half of his abdomen, as if a large fleshy tumor had grown inside his stomach.
Kleist explained: "This is something that the 'Rose School' used a magical item to grow inside my body."
"I can feel that there is an evil creature in the fleshy ball. As soon as it is born, I will die."
"Fortunately, I happen to have a corresponding magical item that can inhibit the growth and birth of the life inside the fleshy ball, so there is no danger for the time being."
"Although this has made me lose most of my ability to move, my main abilities can still be used normally. In the past few days, I have accumulated a lot of good luck, which can make me lucky enough at critical moments to cause the enemy to make mistakes and create opportunities for you."
Leona on the side also said: "I can basically maintain most of my combat power. I can make the enemy unlucky enough, but only to a certain extent, which can also create opportunities for you."
Audis pondered for a moment before saying: "I have three options here. The first option is that I use 'Travel' to take you away in two trips…"
Each time Audis could only take two people into the spirit world with "Travel".
"…But according to Mr. Kleist's spiritual hint, I estimate that after taking two people into the spirit world, the other party will notice our current hiding location." Audis analyzed:
"After all, the 'Apothecary' pathway is a very spiritual pathway. They may have magical items that can detect the use of 'Travel'."
"When I come back again, there will only be three people left here. At that time, the pressure here will be great."
The others nodded, feeling that Audis's analysis made sense.
Audis continued: "The second option is that we return to the railway again in 'Stealth', but don't return, because that way, it is easy for the 'Rose School' to block us in Qatar.
"We can take the train further east. After leaving a certain distance, I will use 'Travel' to take you away separately.
"This method is relatively safe. Even if we encounter enemies, Mr. Kleist and Ms. Leona can help us deal with them.
"But be prepared, we may face a dozen enemies led by two Sequence 5s."
In that case, they would still have at least five people to deal with the enemy together.
Although Kleist and Leona were injured, they were not pathways that focused on combat. Their main abilities were not greatly affected.
In this way, they would instead have stronger combat power.
Audis paused and then said: "The third option is that I invite a demigod to help us leave…"
Everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath, not expecting that Audis could actually invite a demigod to help.
However, Audis continued: "…But you have to pay a reward that can impress a demigod."
Of course, it was impossible for him to pay Bernadette's reward.
Kleist smiled bitterly: "My teacher was arrested into the Governor's Mansion. Of course, this was his means of taking refuge.
"But I may not be able to contact other 'Councilors' for a long time after that, so I really dare not promise to provide a reward that can satisfy a demigod."
Audis nodded slowly: So you and the fat apothecary who is even more "provocative" than the "Provoker" are the same teacher, but you obviously haven't gained the teacher's trust. He didn't even let you deliver the sealed artifact.
But he immediately thought again: "No, important members like Kleist will definitely be 'specially taken care of' by the 'Rose School'. If he is allowed to deliver the sealed artifact, not only will Kleist be more dangerous, but the sealed artifact will also be more dangerous.
Moreover, his sealed artifact is the uniqueness of the "Monster" pathway, and Kleist is also an extraordinary person of the monster pathway, which is easy to gather to demigods or angels of the same pathway.
The fat apothecary who had just arrived in Bayam was an extraordinary person of the "Apothecary" pathway, and he was a better candidate instead."
Thinking of this, Audis said: "My suggestion is to use the second option.
"But the premise is that you can be sure that as soon as we start to escape, we will definitely encounter danger."
If he wasn't very sure, it would be better to take a gamble and use the first option.
"I'm sure." Kleist said firmly.
Audis nodded and asked again: "Does the other party hold any special magical items? Such as magical items that cause evil creatures to be born in people's stomachs."
"The magical item cannot be used at the moment." Kleist said: "To be precise, the magical item cannot be used again before the evil life in my abdomen is born.
"Donik, who defected to the 'Rose School', is a Sequence 5. He obtained a magical item with abilities such as 'Possession', 'Screaming', and 'Ice Arrow'.
"Another Sequence 5 is a member of the 'Rose School'. He is a 'Wraith'. I don't know what magical items he has in his hand.
"One of the three Sequence 6s seems to have a magical item, but I don't know the specific effect."
Audis took a deep breath: "Two Sequence 5s, three Sequence 6s…"
This was the most powerful enemy he had encountered so far. When he encountered Celt, the director of the former Military Intelligence Department Nine, it was mainly the "Mysterious Queen's" opponent. This time Audis had to solve the enemy himself.
Audis reviewed his own strength and began to arrange tactics: "If we encounter the enemy's obstruction, Basel and I are the main force of the attack.
"I have a defensive scroll, and this scroll has been strengthened by a certain existence, which can allow us to block a wave of Sequence 5-level attacks.
"Note that the effective range of this scroll is only seven or eight meters. Everyone should not exceed this distance.
"Let's concentrate our strength first and try to severely damage a Sequence 5.
"I have a total of four such scrolls. If this tactic works, we will continuously severely damage our opponents and gain a chance to escape."
The "existence" he was talking about was actually the power of the "Knowledge Wilderness" that he used to strengthen himself.
Audis discovered that scrolls such as "Explosion Scroll" and "Stealth Scroll" had limited strengthening, but auxiliary scrolls such as "Defense Scroll" and "Acceleration Scroll" had very considerable strengthening.
An ordinary "Defense Scroll" can only block a Sequence 5-level attack, while Audis's strengthened "Defense Scroll" may only be a little weaker than the "Guardian's" "Barrier".
This was also the reason why Audis didn't immediately ask Bernadette for help. Even if he couldn't beat them, he could still delay for a while. If it really didn't work, he would call for reinforcements.
Kleist and others first didn't expect that Audis actually had plans to severely damage the enemy's Sequence 5, but when they heard that Audis actually had such a powerful scroll, they slowly nodded, indicating that they would execute Audis's tactics.
Audis continued: "Rupert is responsible for taking care of Kleist and Leona. After going out later, I will use the acceleration scroll. Run as fast as you can."
Rupert nodded: "Okay."
Audis said to Rupert alone: "In addition, if the situation is urgent, and I don't have time to use the scroll, I will simply let you, who is in the rear, use it.
"The spell is the ancient Hermes word: Open."
Rupert nodded again: "Okay."
"Rest for a while." Audis said: "Take action in five minutes."
The group began to make final preparations. Five minutes later, Audis and Basel were in front, and the three members of the "School of Life" were behind. Rupert, holding his teacher, and Leona followed each other down from the attic of the warehouse.
Audis once again used the "Stealth Scroll", and the traces of the five people were quickly hidden.
Leaving the warehouse, Audis silently greeted the dozing warehouse manager. After they left the manor, Audis immediately used an "Acceleration Scroll."
They rushed towards the small forest they had come from, but just a few steps in, they noticed three men in windbreakers chatting idly in the field.
If they had been standing in the field, they would have been spotted sooner, but because they were sitting, they weren't noticed in time.
Audis raised a hand, and they immediately changed direction, veering away.
But one of the men in a black windbreaker sniffed the air and suddenly turned around: "There's a scent of blood."
He was a vampire with a highly developed sense of smell.
The vampire, with his two subordinates, immediately followed the scent, while one of the subordinates blew a whistle.
Audis thought: Sure enough, running away means running into danger.
"Stop!" Audis immediately ordered, "Attack!"
They needed to deal with these three people first. As Audis spoke, he opened his bag and tossed out a "Blazing Sun Scroll": "Activate!"
The scroll opened, rippling with a layer of golden light. The surrounding sunlight suddenly became scorching and dazzling, causing the vampire to scream and quickly shield his eyes.
The surrounding tenant farmers were also puzzled. Why had the sunlight suddenly become so intense over there? And why was someone screaming?
Bazel, enhanced by the "Acceleration Scroll," immediately stepped forward and broke the vampire's neck with a single punch. The other two were "Lunatics." Although both sacrificed their sanity for power, Audis had already rushed forward during this process, first delivering an elbow strike that completely collapsed one member's chest.
Then, he slammed into the other, sending him crashing into a large tree, severely injuring him.
Only when these two fell to the ground, coughing up blood, did the surrounding tenant farmers realize that there was a fight nearby, and they immediately scattered and fled.
At the same time, Bazel pierced the "vampire's" heart with a short sword, killing him completely.
In the blink of an eye, the enemies who heard the whistle had arrived, but only three of them!
Audis was slightly stunned, immediately realizing that Kleist must have been lucky enough that only a small wave of enemies had come for the time being.
Things were just as Audis had predicted. Kleist's ability caused the traitor Donic to rush over immediately after hearing the whistle without thinking too much.
However, Donic wasn't stupid. After seeing the two unfamiliar faces of Audis and Bazel, he merely stared intently at Kleist and the others, not attacking immediately, but waiting for more companions to gather.
Audis made a decisive decision, tossing Rupert a "Defense Scroll" before saying again: "Attack!"
If they could severely injure this Sequence 5 before the others arrived, then Audis and the others' escape wouldn't be too difficult.
Audis had already put on the "Hand of Judgment" gloves. He raised his hand and said to Donic: "Imprison!"
Donic was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting Audis and the others to attack proactively.
He opened his mouth and let out a soul-piercing shriek, but at the same time, the air around him became viscous, "imprisoning" him there.
Rupert tossed out the "Defense Scroll" before Audis launched his attack: "Activate!"
The scroll seemed to be a vacuum cleaner, fiercely sucking in the surrounding spirituality, even causing a "buzzing" sound because the process was too intense.
Almost simultaneously, a layer of transparent film appeared in front of Rupert and the others.
Donic's shriek rippled across the film, and by the time it reached Rupert and the others' ears, it was just a scream.
Only Audis was not within the range of the "Defense Scroll's" ability, because after using the "Imprison" ability, he immediately used the "Travel Ring" to enter the spirit world.
Anyway, now that their tracks had been discovered, it didn't matter if the enemies saw him enter the spirit world.
The next second, Audis appeared behind Donic and threw a punch: "Death!"
This was the most perfect combo he could think of, using the combined power of his two Sequence 5 sealed artifacts!
Donic was still being "imprisoned" at this time, with no way to avoid the attack, while his two "vampire" subordinates were attacking Bazel and the others.
Audis's punch landed squarely on Donic's heart in his back, and he immediately heard the sound of bones breaking.
Below the level of a demigod, the Penance Knight's "Death" ability was unavoidable, and being hit by it would definitely cause serious damage.
This traitor Donic hadn't expected to be punched away as soon as he showed up.
Moreover, his recovery ability wasn't as fast as usual, because the effect of the "Blazing Sun Scroll" was still active, and the surrounding sunlight was brilliant.
In this state, for Beyonders of the Audis pathway, it was just a little hot, but for "vampires" and above, the "Middle Sequence" Beyonders, it would seriously affect their state.
After Audis succeeded in his sneak attack, he immediately pursued, throwing a "Lightning Scroll" at Donic.
Crack~
The scroll shattered, and with a loud thunderclap, a lightning bolt as thick as a bucket immediately formed in mid-air, striking Donic.
This "Crimson Scholar," although seriously injured and with the surrounding environment greatly affecting his state, was still extremely fast. He suddenly got up and left quickly, leaving only a phantom image in place.
But at this moment, a "vampire" ran over, crashing into the "lightning."
This was Leona's ability, making this "vampire" unlucky enough to misjudge the situation, wanting to escape immediately, but coincidentally, he crashed into the "lightning" and was struck half to death.
Audis certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity, punching the other's back, breaking his heart, and the "vampire" died.
The other "vampire" was entangled with Bazel, and Rupert and the others were helping.
Just as Audis was preparing to rush over to quickly end the battle, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and his hair stood on end. He immediately threw a "Explosion Scroll" behind him: "Activate!"
Boom~
The earth trembled!
A figure exploded out of the ground. It was a "Wraith" who was preparing to approach Audis and possess him.
Because he was in a "shadowy" state, the violent explosion didn't cause him too much serious injury, but he was somewhat dazed: What was that just now? How was I blown away?
The tenant farmers had already run away just now, so this "Explosion Scroll" didn't hit any innocent people.
Kleist's good luck hadn't run out yet. The people from the "Rose School" hadn't come to support him yet.
This "Wraith" ran fast, so he arrived first.
After hesitating for a moment, Audis immediately raised the "Hand of Judgment": "Possession is forbidden here!"
Then he threw a "Blazing Sun Scroll" at the "Wraith," ultimately hoping to try if he could severely injure this "Wraith."
If he could severely injure the opponent, Audis and the others would hardly need to run, and they could completely wait to harvest the spoils on the ground, and there would be no need to leave here so hastily.
The surrounding sunlight suddenly became more intense, making the "Wraith" feel very uncomfortable.
He observed the situation slightly, not using any undead-related spells, or even turning into a "shadowy figure," and just rushed directly towards Audis.
Because in such intense sunlight, it would weaken his most proficient abilities, and he couldn't "possess" for the time being, so it was better to attack in the most direct way.
To be precise, this idea was very correct. After all, Audis was just a "Scroll Professor." His combat skills were fine for fighting "vampires" and "lunatics," but when he encountered a "Wraith" strengthened by "werewolf" and "living corpse," he was no match at all.
But Audis didn't back down, because he wasn't an ordinary "Scroll Professor," or rather, his scrolls weren't ordinary.
After planning to help Rupert, Audis began to make corresponding preparations, inventing and writing corresponding scrolls to deal with Beyonders of the "Prisoner" pathway and the "Moon" pathway.
These preparations gave Audis a lot of help, or rather, Beyonders of this pathway are quite powerful in attack after making preparations.
The "Wraith" attacked at an extremely fast speed, and Audis threw out three scrolls in a row, with three "Activate!" linked together.
The first scroll was the "Entangling Scroll" he invented, and what was used for entanglement was not the surrounding vegetation, but the soil and rocks.
They first turned into mud, like a tide rushing towards the "Wraith." Even though the "Wraith" was extremely fast, his thigh was entangled by the mud.
Then they immediately solidified, and even their hardness was almost the same as that of rocks in a short period of time, as if the earth stretched out a hand and gripped the "Wraith."
The "Wraith" almost instinctively made himself "shadowy," making himself invisible and breaking free from the shackles of the soil and rocks.
At this moment, another scroll invented by Audis, the "Sword of the Undead," exploded, and a phantom white bone sword suddenly appeared, stabbing the "Wraith" who had just become "shadowy." The attack that directly pierced the soul made him scream.
The "Sword of the Undead" was a scroll specifically used to deal with ghosts and undead creatures, and with the "Entangling Scroll" already paving the way, the "Wraith" had no time to dodge.
Before the "Sword of the Undead" stabbed into the "Wraith" disappeared, Audis's third scroll exploded. It was the "Lightning Scroll" that had just been used, which Audis had strengthened.
The "Sword of the Undead" slowed down the "Wraith's" movements. A lightning bolt as thick as a bucket struck the Wraith head-on, almost making smoke come out of his mouth.
Lightning was also quite effective against "Wraiths," and this particular "Wraith" was already injured.
However, he continued to charge towards Audiss, because such injuries were not fatal to him. As long as he reached this "Scroll Professor," he could snap his neck with a single hand.
Just then, Audiss raised his hand: "Exile!"
Among the abilities of the "Hand of Judgment," only "Death" could not be used continuously. It had to be used again after a significant interval of time, otherwise, Audiss would definitely have followed up with a combo of "Imprisonment" and "Death."
The "Wraith" watched as he was rapidly moving away from his target.
At this moment, Audiss used three more scrolls: "Entangling Scroll," "Sword of the Undead," and "Lightning Scroll."
This round of attacks severely injured the "Wraith," but he still charged towards Audiss, because the previous "Exile" had made him certain that this "Scroll Professor" in front of him wouldn't withstand a single blow.
In addition, his subordinates had also arrived to support him. Even if they couldn't kill this "Scroll Professor," they could draw fire and create opportunities for their subordinates.
Extraordinary individuals of this pathway were generally not afraid of injuries, and exchanging injuries was their norm.
Audiss saw many enemies charging towards him, but he still didn't panic. When the "Wraith" charged close enough, he raised his hand: "Imprison!"
After "Imprisoning" the opponent, Audiss ran towards the "Defense Array" while throwing an "Explosion Scroll" at the "Wraith's" feet.
Boom!
Another violent explosion sounded, and the "Wraith" was blasted seven or eight meters into the air. Even though he quickly entered the "Shadowform" state, half of his leg was gone.
Audiss's offensive calculations were very precise. The explosion occurred almost immediately after the effect of "Imprisonment" ended, giving the "Wraith" no time to dodge.
In the "Imprisonment" state, the "Wraith" could only enter "Shadowform" and could not enter the spirit world.
If Audiss's attack hadn't been so precise, giving him time to enter the spirit world, he wouldn't have been blasted so badly.
The "Rose School" members who had just arrived to provide support were stunned. They had previously heard "Potion Professor" Beverly, who had chased Rupert, talk about the enormous power of explosions, but at the time, no one took it seriously.
Now that they saw this explosion, they immediately understood Beverly's fear.
Audiss, hiding behind the "Defense Array," observed for a moment and decided not to run away for the time being, because the "Wraith" had also been severely injured.
If he ran away at this time, it would be equivalent to handing over the initiative of the battle.
At this point, Audiss and his group had severely injured two Sequence 5s and killed three "Vampires" and two "Lunatics."
To have such a record, in addition to Audiss being strong enough, Kleist's ability was also very important. If that "Wraith" had arrived one or two seconds earlier, the situation would have been completely different.
The "Rose School" group didn't attack immediately, but instead hurried to find the "Wraith," after all, that guy looked pretty badly blown up.
"I'm fine," the "Wraith," whose whole body was severely burned and missing half a leg, said, "Don't waste time on me. Launch a probing attack."
On Audiss's side, the first "Defense Scroll" had already been used up.
Audiss looked at his companions. In the previous battle, Basel's shoulder was clawed by a "Vampire," but it didn't seem to affect his combat power.
Audiss was injured by the soil and rocks kicked up by the violent explosion, but they were only small wounds and not a big deal.
However, Kleist said, "My luck is running low."
Leona also said, "I can only inflict misfortune on one more target, otherwise, even if I make the target unlucky enough, it will attract some terrifying existences.
"My own luck can allow me to escape easily, but it may be difficult for you to escape."
Audiss nodded, considered for a moment, and then took out 5 scrolls from his leather bag, giving one to each of Rupert and the others: "Use this scroll immediately after the enemy starts attacking."
Then he took out three more scrolls and handed them to Basel: "Throw them where there are a lot of people later!"
Basel carefully put away the scrolls: "Okay."
At this time, the enemy's probing attack began. Among them were two "Living Corpses," one "Potion Professor," and several "Werewolves" and "Vampires."
If these guys were to get close, only Basel might have a chance to fight. In terms of close combat, Audiss and the others were simply no match for them.
According to Audiss's previous tactics, the five people simultaneously threw the scrolls in their hands and chanted the incantation at the same time: "Activate!"
Then, all five of them flew into the air!
That's right, Audiss had given each of them a "Flight Scroll."
When Audiss was preparing, he realized that whether it was the "Apothecary" pathway or the "Prisoner" pathway, they were severely lacking in long-range attack methods before Sequence 5.
So Audiss prepared more "Flight Scrolls."
Seeing the five people fly up together, the "Rose School" group was dumbfounded.
It was still the "Wraith" who had been seriously injured, who realized the seriousness of the situation: "Run!"
After saying that, he let out a sharp scream towards Audiss and the others, but at the same time, Audiss had already used the second "Defense Scroll," and this scream once again had no effect.
Basel on the side threw the first scroll towards the ground: "Activate!"
The ground quickly became muddy, spreading towards the enemy like a tide.
Because the "Rose School" members were relatively dense in that area, this one scroll trapped five enemies.
Audiss then dropped an "Explosion Scroll," and for a time, limbs flew, internal organs flowed, and the screams made the hidden tenant farmers tremble with fear.
At this time, the "Vampires" and the "Potion Professor" had illusory bat wings appearing behind them. They flew up to attack Audiss and the others.
But Audiss was prepared and threw a "Thunderstorm Scroll" at them.
This scroll was also invented by Audiss. After the scroll exploded, a huge ball of lightning appeared.
Crack!
Electric arcs shot out, illuminating a large area around them in silver-white.
The lightning ball exploded, and the "Vampires" who flew a little slower had their wings pierced by the electric arcs and fell to the ground.
The "Vampires" who were not pierced by the electric arcs quickly returned to the ground and tried to escape as quickly as possible.
The "Vampires'" wings could only be used for a short time. If they failed in one attack, they would no longer be able to attack Audiss and the others.
The "Potion Professor's" wings could last a little longer, but he used them to escape instead of continuing to attack Audiss and the others.
At this time, Basel had already thrown out the second "Entangling Scroll," again trapping two enemies, and Audiss used another "Explosion Scroll."
These two "Rose School" members lost their combat power amidst screams.
The two continued to pursue, and just as Basel was about to throw out the third scroll, the "Wraith" in "Shadowform" arrived at the end of the team. A layer of frost suddenly appeared on the ground, and several ice arrows shot towards Audiss and Basel.
Audiss and Basel immediately retreated and hid back inside the "Defense Scroll's" magic circle.
"Okay, don't chase anymore." Audiss looked at the enemies who had been blown half-dead before and were still struggling to escape: "This time's spoils are rich enough!"
Sorry, I'm a little late today.
