"That's... Rogue Thief "Black Emperor"?

"Did he break the ritual of the Abyss of Flesh?"

A member of the "Punisher" team blurted out.

Because the Lord "Song of the Gods" attaches great importance to the Kapin case, he had been investigating the "hero" who had recently appeared in Backlund for a while, so he recognized it at a glance.

"Impossible! How could the Lord's ritual be destroyed by a ghost who is not even a high-sequence?!" Seeing this scene, Mr. A suddenly opened his eyes, and under the indifferent blood, he was in unbelievable consternation.

You must know that the reason why he was not in a hurry to deal with the "little bugs" that sneaked into the basement was to be certain that they had no ability to stop the "rituals".

Although full of disbelief, Mr. A quickly recovered, because he also noticed that a saint was approaching quickly. If he didn't run away as soon as possible, he would never be able to go again... Without the blessings of the ceremony, he doesn't care now. The ability to "rebirth".

Just as he was moving, Stewart, the "Secret Skill Instructor", also raised his right hand at the same time, pointing to Mr. A, who was naked because of "Rebirth", and said an ancient Hermes word in his mouth:

"captivity!"

Mr. A's surroundings suddenly became viscous, as if forming a huge amber, or surrounding a sealed transparent wall.

He froze in place, unable to move.

After "The Abyss of Flesh" was destroyed, the power that suppressed Stewart and the power that strengthened Mr. A disappeared at the same time, so the former could temporarily restrain the latter's actions.

The surrogate who was still awake also attacked Mr. A with their weapons at the same time, and they cooperated quite tacitly.

Even Haruel reacted, pulling the "Fire Crow Shortbow" and shooting out flames of elves.

Holy light, flames, ice, thunder, violent wind...attacks with various effects, hitting the slick figure.

But those attacks all fell through and hit the wall opposite the hall, but Mr. A's figure spontaneously burned without wind, and turned into an exquisite paper man.

——After Ted was swallowed, the paper man he prepared in his pocket naturally belonged to Mr. A.

In the ravages of the fire crow, the paper man quickly turned into ashes.

But Mr. A's figure has appeared in front of the wall on the other side of the hall along with the "Fire Crow".

At this time, the steam church saint wearing a white priest's robe and a clergyman's cap also flew to the hole in the roof of the house under the impetus of a similar "propelling device" structure changed under his feet.

Without any hesitation, Mr. A directly took out the life-saving charm from "Master of Secret Puppet" Ted, and quickly recited the spell, and disappeared in place.

As for the "hypnotist" puppet, it was too late to collect it, so it could only be thrown in place.

The sage of the Steam Church who received the telegram came to support is the head of the Diocese of Backlund, a member of the Pre-God Council, and Archbishop Horamik Haydn.

He saw Mr. A suddenly disappear from the house, and immediately turned on a device in his left eye to perform a large-scale scan, and successfully saw the sudden appearance of the other person on a street a kilometer away.

He raised his finger, and a brilliant and beautiful light radiated from it, and at an astonishing speed it directly hit Mr. A who turned his head in amazement.

That is the "Aurora", which comes from the "Generalist" Path Sequence 5 "Astrologist", or one of the "Astronomer" abilities. It is only released in the hands of the Archbishop Horamick at the level of the sage. It is even more powerful. powerful.

Under the impact of "Aurora". Mr. A's body once again turned into a delicate paper man, then turned into dust, and drifted away with the wind... and he stumbled and appeared on another street.

Even if there is a "paper man substitute" to share the damage, his body is still torn apart by the impact of "Aurora", but the body of "Shepherd" is extremely resilient, and he is almost as good as ever in the blink of an eye.

Damn it! If it weren't for habitually switching to the "demon" state and "perceiving" the source of danger in advance, I'm afraid that even the "paper man substitute" would not have time to use it!

This thought flashed in his mind, Mr. A did not dare to stay any longer, and a transparent and fuzzy book quickly appeared before him, accompanied by the distant and ethereal singing:

"I came, I saw, I recorded."

The book was flipped quickly, frozen on one of the pages, and immediately burst out with a light blue and illusory light.

The light quickly enveloped him, making his figure blurred first and then invisible.

This is the "transport" ability recorded by the "recorder" of Mr. A's herding. The reason why he did not use it directly in the stronghold was because he was afraid of being "banned" or "distorted" by the "occult instructor" at critical moments. Destroy his "teleport", in that case, you really can't get away.

On the roof of a three-story house one kilometer away, Holamick wanted to add a few more "Aurora" after seeing that the blow did not work. Couldn't stop it.

As for the "Super Electromagnetic Cannon" used to deal with Baron Konvar, that is the exterior accessory of his latest version of "Airframe". That "airframe" was damaged by "1-025" in the previous battle and is still being repaired... The "old body" currently in use cannot be matched with its exterior weapons.

Holamick sighed regretfully, the propulsion device under his feet slowly reduced its power, followed the hole in the roof and landed into the lobby on the first floor.

All the punishers, as well as Bishop Utravsky and Harou after seeing him, saluted him one after the other, expressing their gratitude to the saint for personal rescue.

"You're welcome, I also came to check after receiving a telegram from Harvest Church..." Holamick waved his hand, looked around and asked, "What happened here? The one that just ran away should be Aurora. The envoy who knows...Who is the ghost who saluted on the roof before?"

Only then did the punishers know the reason why the archbishop of the Steam Church came here in person, plus Bishop Utravsky’s previous “guardian”, they couldn’t help but cast grateful glances at the half-giant and the beautiful lady next to him. .

Bishop Utravsky looked calm and nodded in greeting, but Hajol was a little embarrassed by those gazes.

After a brief treatment for McConaughey, Stewart gave a detailed account of the whole story and told Holamick about the possible identity of the ghost. Finally, he asked expectantly: "Your Excellency, Mr. A." Was it killed by you?"

Although no one died because of the timely "guard" of the half-giant bishop, many people were seriously injured, especially those who were affected by the "hypnotist"'s "madness". Waking up in the "dream" of "Candle"...

"It's a pity that that person has the ability to'teleport', and I didn't have time to stop it." Holamick shook his head first, then narrowed his eyes, and asked with a serious face: "Are you sure what the Aurora will arrange this time is' Flesh and Flesh’s ritual? It was also cracked by a “ghost” who was not a high-sequence...well, a “hero” named Rogue Thief “Black Emperor”?"

Although this ritual magic is not used many times, it is notorious because every time it appears means the death of at least hundreds of people...In past events, even if the church's extraordinary team arrived in time, it was of no avail, because Once the ceremony is held, it cannot be forced to end, even if it is destroyed, it will change into more terrible consequences.

It's unbelievable that one person is still alive this time.

Hearing the news of Mr. A’s escape, Stewart was a little disappointed, but he quickly adjusted his mentality and replied respectfully: “I’m sure it’s the Abyss of Flesh! Although I can’t believe it, the thief did a lot. Things that the saints have not done."

"That's it..." Holamick groaned for a few seconds, then looked at Stewart and Utravsky, and said gently, "Let's go to the place where the ceremony was arranged and check to see if it has really been terminated. ...Other active team members are searching this house...Well, if you find that there is danger, you can leave it alone for the time being, and the support of Mechanical Heart will arrive soon."

Having said that, he seemed to think of something, and added:

"A saint-level battle also took place in the suburbs of the northern district. His Excellency Anthony of the Church of the Dark Night went there to check the situation, but was unable to come over for a while... Your Excellency Snake was caught by the demigod of the'Rose School', and he couldn't smoke either. Open your body... well, he just contacted me by special means and asked me to take care of you."

As the archbishop of the "Steam Church", he must have a "justified name" in order to direct the punishers to do things, otherwise it is not appropriate. And there is no problem with the endorsement of the "Song of God".

As for whether the "God Singer" really entrusted himself? That doesn't matter... and another old model of Holamick's "airframe" has also gone to support Snake, and a temporary "recharge" will be required at that time.

"Follow your instructions." Stewart and the others didn't think so much. After giving McConaughey to another team member to take care of him, he accompanied Horramick, Utravsky, and Hazel. Stepped into the stairwell and into the basement.

In the basement at this moment, the body of Irene the "Witch" has disappeared. The idol of the "True Creator" was broken in two and fell on the ground. A circle of holy grail digital cards, scepter digital cards and other towers were scattered all around. A ring composed of Luo cards.

The altar right in front of the idol is also torn apart, with two main tarot cards placed in the center, one is "Emperor" and the other is "Tower".

All this looks like the scene of some weird ceremony!

Seeing such a scene, Stewart habitually "retrospected", and found that these cards were only spilt after the "Fall of Flesh" ceremony ended...

This is not so much a ritual, it's more like a symbol or habit... and I can't "retrospect" anyone. The "ghost" either has the means to eliminate the breath and traces, or it has a very high personality hidden in the body. The items shielded my ability.

Thinking like this in his heart, Stewart took the initiative to speak, combining the results of the previous investigation by the surrogate:

"The scene full of tarot cards...This is the third time a similar case has occurred in the last two months.

"Then the next two times, it was the handwriting of the thief'Black Emperor'."

"The second time was the Carpin case, right? I've heard... Then, when was the first time?" Archbishop Holamick asked in a deep voice.

Stewart replied simply:

"The time when the'True Creator' tried to use a fraudster to come.

"In that event, there was not only a scene full of tarot cards, but also two other'heroes' who were different from Rogue's'Black Emperor' appeared.

"Their code names are ‘Joker’ and ‘Iron Man’ respectively.

"So we guessed that these'heroes' who always like to sprinkle tarot cards at the crime scene should belong to the same organization...a new organization."

While Horramick listened carefully, his mechanical eyes quickly "analyzed" the traces of the scene. After a long while, he thoughtfully said: "Is it also related to the'true creator'? The existence behind this organization may be related to The'True Creator' is the enemy...that's why it always hinders and destroys the actions of the Aurora Society...

"We should dig deeper into the Kapin case. Behind him kidnapping girls and selling slaves, there may also be the shadow of the Aurora Society..."

Stewart nodded slightly and just wanted to say something. At this moment, a member of the penalty surrogate team who was not seriously injured took a stack of papers and walked down from above, and reported to Holramick and Stewart: "Your Excellency, Deacon My lord, we found these rubbing orders in an office...the label on it is'Oracle'!"

"The oracle?" Holamick, Stewart, and even Utravsky raised their expressions solemnly, and took one of them and read them carefully.

"'The Fool'? The'True Creator' is looking for the believers and favored ones of the'Fool'?

"'The Fool'... Isn't that also an evil **** equal to Him? Otherwise, she won't take it so seriously..."

After pondering for a while~lightnovelpub.net~Horamick looked at Stewart beside him and asked, "What do you think?"

"'The Fool'... is also the main card of the Tarot card! Today's incident may involve a battle between two evil gods!" Stewart said in a deep voice.

...

At the same time, in the northern suburbs of Backlund, Ince Zangwill and the military demigod Tester were extremely embarrassed under the attack of Mr. Azik, and the quill once again took the opportunity to get out of control. Wrote on a nearby rock:

"Today is really a bad day for Ince. St. Anthony, the Archbishop of the Night Church, noticed the demigodism in the outskirts of the North District and planned to come and check it in person... For this reason, he didn't even pay much attention to the request for help from the Harvest Church. Handed over to the Night Watcher team to deal with.

"It is conceivable that once the Archbishop of St. Anthony joins the battle, Ince Zangwill will definitely not help."
