Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

Leonard took Dunn and Daley to the marionette "Admiral Hell" through the spirit world.

In order to hide behind the scenes, Klein even handed over "Creep Hunger" to Leonard, just so that he could arrive at the critical moment!

When Ince Zangwill recovered from the chaos, he found that his biggest supporter had left him. The "Red Angel" evil spirit left the scene in a swagger, without even forgetting to sign "wipe his neck" at him. " gesture.

And the next moment, his enemy had already ushered in a helper.

Ince quickly stepped aside to avoid being surrounded by the two parties. He had a new guess about the source of the previous burst of lightless power.

"doom"? Is He watching all this?

Ince gritted his teeth and looked at Leonard Mitchell and Dunn Smith standing opposite, their faces clear and distinct, with a breath of life.

A shadow of the dead haunted him, constantly gnawing at Ince's sanity.

"Gatekeepers" should not be afraid of the dead, but the dead will drag them with them.

Although Klein was still hiding in the dark, through the unaffected sight of the "Hell Admiral", he could see the general process, but it was hard for him to believe his own eyes.

That evil spirit just left? Why is Esther here?

Wait, her figure is gone...

Klein slowly opened his eyes, and he was vaguely aware of the violation.

The moment Leonard saw Ince, he had already let go of Daley and Dunn, and he had already jumped to the side in a flash.

While distancing himself from Dunn, Leonard held the "Luck Stealer" charm in his pocket:

"destiny!"

The "squirming hunger" on his left palm changed its shape, the glove became illusory and translucent, and half of the slowly turning transparent book condensed in his palm.

In the ethereal voice of "I came, I saw, I recorded", dazzling silver-white lightning surged out one after another, and the "lightning storm" swallowed up the young man's figure in the blink of an eye.

However, the spell that was activated at the same time was to exchange the fate of destruction to Ince Zangwill!

Leonard didn't care what fate he might end up in. He didn't intend to give Ince any chance to delay from the beginning!

However, Dunn's shout suddenly sounded: "Leonard! This is a dream!"

All the lightning collapsed and disappeared, and nothing happened. Leonard even stood there, staying between Dunn and Daly.

The gap in personality made it difficult for the three of them to form an effective counterattack, but it did not mean that they were helpless.

Dunn took a deep breath. Dreams were originally the domain of the "Sleepless One". His low and magnetic voice spread, and actually evoked a gentle echo in the air:

"My night wandering, we looted this place, everything that escaped..."*

The sense of unreality in the dream became stronger, and the misfortune brought by "bad luck" to Ince continued. At the level of his demigod, he should not be so easily swayed into a large-scale dream.

In the eyes of Ince, the lightless darkness was still floating, trying to drag these people into deeper, independent nightmares and scatter them.

Dunn's voice continued: "You also take off your darkness and put it into my pair of eyes that are half wandering..."

Another invisible pull stabilized the figures of Dai Li and Leonard beside him, preventing them from falling into Ince's plan.

Ince's eyes became fierce. He held the quill and quickly started writing on his scorched robe.

Dunn's calm and deep eyes reveal darkness with a little light: "It will also hear every dim and irrefutable echo from every direction."

The soft light in his eyes slid past like a shooting star, falling into the ink.

The remaining blessings were ignited at the moment when he really needed it, like lighting a match.

Dunn exploited a flaw that could not have existed. The probability was extremely small, but it also became a reality.

The dream was violently turbulent, and they were just a few inches away from being completely separated. Leonard could even feel his control over his real body, and his palms slowly moved toward the talisman in his pocket.

However, the classical quill pen did not break free from Ince's hand, but cooperated with his movements and left a few lines of writing:

"Ince Zangwill is in very good condition today and can effectively control his mythical creature form. Therefore, he decided not to make any reservations and try his best to escape from here!"

The moment he clicked the last exclamation point, Ince's body changed.

His clothes swelled until they were burst by the limbs that were born in the blink of an eye. From Ince Zangwill's waist, flanks and ribs, four arms with no skin and only tangled black blood vessels grew out of them. The feathers exude a deathly cold breath.

His eyes, which were originally deep blue and nearly black, were completely soaked in ink. The twisted mysterious symbols wriggled and spread from inside, crawling along his eye sockets and all over his cheeks.

Short black hair covered his neck, covering the black symbols that spread all over his body. His body swelled up, and he lay on the ground with his hands and feet together.

Ince Zangwill let out an instinctive roar, revealing his sharp and elongated teeth, and vaguely revealing the blurry faces inside, all of which were sealed and driven spirits.

The combination of "night" and "death" formed a monster with both wolf hair and feathers. While the mythical form was revealed, the only remaining breath of death started from Ince's body and continued to spread to the vicinity.

All the tiny creatures in the square were falling, quietly snatched away by death.

The bodies of Daly, Dunn and Leonard lost control again. They were shrouded in darkness and sank into the dream again, where their lives would soon be taken away.

Even if Dunn takes the three people out of the dream again, once they look directly at Ince's mythical creature form, it is enough to break their will.

Ince's consciousness was spinning on the edge of madness, and even just taking revenge on these insects made his heart feel lighter.

However, white lightning fell like a rainstorm, covering Ince's location.

Marionette cannot sleep or die. The moment the dream was disturbed by Dunn, Klein had already escaped from it.

He immediately controlled the marionette to pray to himself, and then quickly walked four steps backward to climb onto the gray mist.

Klein once again grasped the Poseidon's scepter, integrated it into the "Tyrant" card, wore a triple crown and a papal robe, and clicked on the light spot of the marionette's prayer, letting the silver lightning strike down non-stop.

He had already planned this series of actions. In a head-on battle, Klein was not sure he could maintain his condition in front of the opponent's incomplete mythical form. Ince Zangwill was already a demigod, so Klein had to use all his Bet all your cards.

The power of the thunderstorm shattered the hazy dream, and the three "Red Gloves" on the other side finally woke up completely.

After Dunn fully recovered, a strong sense of crisis made him close his eyes for the first time. His next move was to cover Dai Li's eyes: "Mythical creature form, avoid."

Of course Leonard heard it, but before he closed his eyes, a figure in a white dress appeared in front of him, attracting Leonard's attention.

She just appeared from the void, her pale eyes looking back at Leonard gently, a face that seemed familiar but did not exist in his memory.

The lady in front of him opened her palms to Leonard: "Spell."

Leonard subconsciously grasped the "Luck Stealer" charm tighter: "You are -"

Before he could finish his words, the lady's hands had already been closed. Leonard felt that everything between his fingers was gone, and the charm made with the Worm of Time had fallen into the other person's hand.

"etc!"

Leonard's shout made Dunn raise his eyes slightly, and his eyes swept across the unfamiliar face and the light in her eyes.

He could assert that he had seen that light before, when death was close to his heart and expelled his life.

She looked familiar.

Not far away, lightning kept following its target, trying to tear the half-human, half-animal figure into pieces. Darkness stirred on Ince, like a pool of spilled ink, drowning the large silvery lightning that was close to him.

Ince seized this opportunity and ran out to escape from the area baptized by the thunderstorm. Unable to locate the person who attacked him, he could only quickly turn to the edge of the square, trying to escape directly.

Ince did not forget that there was a greater threat nearby, and the real target of "Utopian Angel" was still in his hands.

The classical quill pen was held in Ince's hand. He ran wildly and wrote on his body:

"An unknown being was attracted by the battle. He was very sympathetic to Ince Zangwill's plight and decided to help him and take him away from the spirit world!"

The sun was covered by shadows, and a gloomy chill penetrated the square and fell on everyone present.

The smell of death.

Daley's body was trembling, and Dunn could barely feel his heartbeat.

Leonard was still looking at the lady who had snatched away the "Luck Stealer" charm, as if there were some distant memories scattered outside his thoughts.

Behind Ince, the evil figure has been outlined. The bloody flesh is constantly beating, and it is covered with eyes that are constantly rolling up and down. There are multiple arms that are not coordinated and symmetrical. The size of those arms is different from the race. same.

This monster, which was completely spliced ​​together from broken limbs, had already stretched out a long claw with feathers, and was about to fall on Ince, taking him into the spirit world and leaving.

The lady in front of Leonard turned around and faced Ince Zangwill. She held the charm in her palm with a prayer-like gesture.

Her gentle voice fell together with her head, and she said in the ancient Hermes language: "Destiny."

Her voice was so vague and soft that Leonard thought that the spell would not be activated at all.

However, a black wheel had already unfolded from the soles of the lady's feet. At the same moment, another silver wheel appeared out of thin air and was enveloped by the strange flesh-and-blood monster.

The wheel rotates, black and white change colors.

The monster swayed its arms in the air a few times, and its figure became illusory again, unable to resist and disappeared into the gap in the spiritual world.

She exchanged the fate of "returning and disintegrating in the spiritual world" with the other party.
