Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 172
Esther and Klein found a random restaurant and tasted the lighter fish soup and spiced toast.

Neither of them tacitly mentioned what happened just now, but in the middle of the meal, Esther brought up the thing she had been thinking about before:

"Gehrman, can you teach me divination?"

"Do you want to learn?"

Esther nodded vigorously: "I feel that the applicability of divination is quite wide, and I really want to learn it!"

Klein didn't react on the surface, but he couldn't help recalling the strange appearance of the Tarot cards just now. Judging from the short-lived surprise of "The Hanged Man", the appearance of the "Grim Reaper" is definitely Out of his expectation.

Letting Esther learn divination should be good for her, but I always feel that it will be dangerous for others...

After weighing it for a moment, Klein didn't agree directly: "I'll think about it."

Esther had noticed Klein's hesitation just now, and had already predicted the result: "Well, I thought divination wasn't that dangerous, and I thought it would be a skill to learn a craft."

She quickly changed the subject: "I'm going to Simim Island in three days to pretend to be someone else and earn some extra money."

"Pretend?"

"Yeah, in fact, it would be more convenient for you to do this than me, but the other party is a woman..." Esther obviously thought of a certain scene, and her smile gradually became weird, "She is being targeted, so I want to find someone to help draw the other party's attention."

"Looking for you?" Klein bluntly expressed his doubts.

Esther flicked the red wig on the back of her head very chicly: "Maybe because my appearance is so similar to hers, and with the small amount of illusion that I can use on my body, it will definitely not work to fool the people staying on the pier." question."

"Not safe."

Esther understood Klein's meaning. He was thinking about the troubles he might cause in the future, so she explained a few more sentences:

"If it's someone else, the follow-up may be troublesome, but if it's just me, it doesn't matter. After all, I have some special factors in me. I will change my outfit after boarding the boat, and return to Bayam the next day. It won't take long."

I always feel that the person who asked Esther to do this is a bit taken advantage of.Klein slandered, and nodded to Esther: "It's up to you."

In other words, he won't care too much about this matter, just let Esther move freely.

In this situation, she alone will not be remembered by the other party for a long time, and it is not easy to leave a tail for people to stare at.

"Speak up before you go."

"Of course, I told you the day before I left Bayam." Esther replied with a smile.

-

In the early morning, the praying mantis, the cicada and the oriole were all ready for action in their respective positions.

When Klein, who changed into "Danitz", stepped into No. 15 of Xiangshu Avenue in black, the real Danis and Esther were lying in ambush on the roof of a certain house some distance away. Cover up your own existence, waiting for the moment to do it.

The people ambushing all over the street rushed to the No.15 house impatiently, preparing to block the "raging flames" inside, and the "punishers" crouching behind decisively used the sealed items.

Some kind of strange power appeared in Esther's perception, which could drag everyone within the range into a dream. Fortunately, the distance between the two on the roof was far enough that it would not be affected.

Klein used the ability of Danitz's shadow cloak to quickly escape from the range affected by the dream. Esther elbowed Danitz next to him:
"Above, flying carpet?"

Danitz narrowed his eyes, quickly locked on to the target under Esther's prompt, and recognized the people carrying the flying carpet: "It's them."

"Lend me the gun."

Danitz pulled out his long-barreled revolver from his waist and threw it to Esther: "Can you use it?"

Esther glanced at the five full bullets inside, lifted the revolver on her right hand, pressed her thumb on the hammer, and was ready to pull the trigger at any time: "Gehrman is on the ground, should we act against the air?"

Danitz gave a thumbs up: "No problem, I can cover you with the fire crow, how about your aim?"

"It depends on luck."

"Look at luck!?"

Before Danitz could say anything else, Esther jumped onto the adjacent roof and quickly approached the street.

Shit!This woman really has something wrong with her!There is no such thing as luck at a time like this!

Danis cursed in his heart, flames quickly gathered in his hands, and he concentrated and compressed.

"Steel" Maveti and "Calm Squall" jumped off the flying carpet together, trying to intercept the fleeing "Danitz" below.

Esther clings to the side wall of the second floor of a house, stepping on the edge of the protruding balcony.

She superimposed a little "swindler" disturbing hallucination on her body. In the corner where the night was already dense, her figure blended well into the darkness without attracting the other party's attention.

The moment the blazing fireball hit "Steel" Maveti from the roof, Maveti put his arms in front of him, and forcibly took down Danis' blow.

Esther grabbed and probed with her right hand, and successfully stole the extraordinary ability of "Steel" Maveti to condense cold and frost!
Because of Danitz's intelligence support, Esther has enough understanding of the target, and the success rate of random theft has skyrocketed, one time is enough!
From the scattered flying flames, a figure wrapped in a black cloak strolled out, revealing a thin and cold face below.

Gehrman Sparrow set his sights on his target.

When the snowflakes were just flying around Squall, he thought it was condensed by "Steel" Maveti using his extraordinary ability. The weeds in the gaps in the street quickly showed signs of corrosion under the frost. "Steel" sequence ability, Squall has seen many scenes where the enemy's flesh and blood were frozen.

"Blood Thorn" Huntley, who was sitting on the flying carpet, instantly realized that something was wrong, because "Steel" didn't have any frost gathering around him, and he was wholeheartedly resisting the mysterious man's attack on the spirit body.

The range where the ice and snow fall is wrong!
Huntley immediately reminded Squall below, and his right hand dropped to the cloth bag containing the spell-casting materials on his waist: "Be careful! There are——"

The red flames lit up in the night, and they spread their wings blazingly. Danitz raised his hand, and one after another fire crows flew down from all directions, pounced on Huntley on the flying carpet.

Huntley's hand immediately fell to the other bag, threw a cluster of light blue powder, and spat out an ancient Hermetic phrase: "Sea waves!"

The dark blue waves rolled out of the water curtain, dousing all the rushing flame crows, and evaporated rapidly under the high temperature, and white mist filled the air.

With a thought in mind, Esther raised the revolver in her right hand without hesitation, held the butt of the gun with her left hand, and pulled the trigger steadily, three shots were fired!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

On the other side, Klein snapped his fingers three times in a row, and the air bullets with added purification power popped out at the same time. The compressed power suddenly penetrated into "Steel" Maveti's chest, leaving a wound overflowing with golden flames.

Squall's face became more and more gloomy. All the throwing knives he threw were avoided by this man's way of moving against ordinary people. The opponent's speed and agility were far faster than him.More importantly, the number of people on both sides was even. Besides "Lie Yan" and the man in black, there was a third person who shot!
The waves and mist covering the flying carpet suddenly disintegrated, and the seawater that fell to the ground splashed all over the place, and quickly merged with the frost on the ground, condensing into a slippery ice surface.

"Blood Thorn" Huntley had three blood holes on his right hand, left shoulder, and chest and abdomen, which were continuously dripping bright red.

His left hand was still trembling and wanted to reach the cloth bag around his waist, but Danitz, who had been paying attention to the battle situation, seized this opportunity, and a fireball compressed into a white fireball flew towards him, under Danitz's control. Suddenly, the fireball precisely hit Huntley's sweaty face, burst open, and knocked Huntley's lifeless body off the flying carpet.

The uncontrolled flying carpet sank slowly.

Esther jumped directly from the height of the second floor. Because of the less friction on the ice at her feet, she just kicked hard and flew out, and in the blink of an eye, she was in front of Squall.

The scalpel that Squall originally intended to throw at the man in black immediately turned around. He blocked the scalpels in both hands in front of him, and suddenly blocked the strange knife stabbed by the woman's right hand.

"Bang-"

But then, Squall realized something was wrong. This was not the sound that the blades should make when they intersected. The sound was too dull!

"It's a fraud." A chuckle sounded, and the shape of the object held by the scalpel was distorted and returned to its original appearance. It was a long-barreled revolver!

With a turn of Esther's left hand, "Logan's Claw" swung up from her palm and cut towards Squall's chest.

Instead, Squall's eyes lit up: her weapon length is too short, there is still a chance!

He decisively swung the barrel of the gun in his hand to the left, and pressed down the elbows of both hands, trying to push the petite woman back with a melee attack.

Esther's expression didn't fluctuate, and she let the gun barrel go out of her hand without paying attention, and the "Logan's Claw" suddenly popped out for a short length-only a change between centimeters.

A cut was made between Squall's chest and abdomen, and the red bloody mouth instantly turned black, and the toxin quickly integrated into his body.

Before Squall's elbows slammed into her head, Esther raised her free right arm. The moment the two touched, the gathered ice appeared outside Squall's elbows, quickly spread to his hands.

This is the ability that Esther stole from "Steel" Maveti before, and she can still use it freely after entering the battle for less than 10 minutes!
Even in this situation, Squall still calmly considered the most appropriate countermeasure. He had to keep a distance, and he couldn't give this woman a chance to freeze his body with frost!

Squall's right knee slammed into Esther's flank. In order to hand out "Logan's Claw", her center of gravity couldn't fall firmly on the ground.

Esther barely retracted her left arm as a buffer, but she was still kicked out. After rolling twice, she stabilized her body and stood up again as soon as she slapped the ground.

The delay was enough for Squall. He reached into his bosom, grabbed a black iron charm, and whispered the activated ancient Hermes language:
"Scream!"

The spell was activated, and invisible sound waves set off and swayed.

Klein, who had just dealt with "Steel" Maveti and wanted to come to help Esther, was stunned, and blood oozed from his nose.

Esther's figure was not affected at all, she threw herself to the side and grabbed the revolver she had just dropped.

The black barrel was aimed at the disbelief in Squall's eyes.

He didn't even have a last chance to escape.

"Bang! Bang!"

Forehead and heart, the three "steel" all declared dead.
