In a basement on Carter Street in the West End.
Two men were sleeping there, dressed neatly in black clothes and wearing red ballet shoes.
Suddenly, they jumped up as if they had received some command, and ran outside, leaping and bounding, until they reached the street. Only then did they seem to fully wake up from their dream and run forward like normal people.
And their red dancing shoes gradually disappeared.
...
Using the sealed artifact, Arya quickly arrived at Henry Street, concealing her spirituality and aura, and hid in a dark corner, quietly watching the still-lit Gar Herbalist Shop.
At that moment, two people dressed in black rushed toward the herbal medicine shop, and Aria immediately sensed that the aura emanating from these two people was different from that of ordinary people.
As usual, Odis, who was in the herbal shop, dismissed her clerk, Kena, and was resting alone in an armchair.
Suddenly, his spirit became alert.
He suddenly stood up, pulled his pistol from his holster, and just as he released the safety, the shop door was kicked open.
Without saying a word, Odis immediately pulled the trigger.
Just as Aria was about to rush to the rescue, she saw six fireballs, each slightly larger than an adult's fist, fire in quick succession from Odis's revolver! And she heard six gunshots in a row.
The Sequence 9 "Secret Seeker" of the two men in black was shot twice. His chest was immediately engulfed in flames. He waved his arms, trying to extinguish the flames on his body, and ran around in a panic, letting out a shrill scream.
He hadn't run more than a few steps when he collapsed and couldn't get up.
Arya was slightly taken aback. This was the first time she had witnessed the power of the "Flaming Arrow," and she finally understood why the Queen cared so much about this weapon!
With this weapon, even the weaker Sequence 9 units in "Elemental Dawn" dare to fight head-on against those Sequence 9 units that are good at fighting!
However, Odis's other four bullets missed the other man in black, because he was a Sequence 8 "Fighting Scholar" who nimbly dodged Odis's shots and quickly rushed towards the herbalist who had run out of bullets.
Odis was about to go to the counter to activate the corresponding magic circle in the herbalist shop. The arrangement of the herbalist shop was enough for him to take down a Sequence 8 relatively easily.
However, Odis caught a glimpse of Aria running towards him out of the corner of his eye, and he immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to intimidate the "mysterious queen".
So Odis turned and ran. Aria was about to rush in to rescue him, but she stopped again. She heard the herbalist mutter something like "the master of good fortune..." as he ran.
Because we were too far apart, I couldn't hear it very clearly, but it seemed to be a respectful name!
Just as Aria was stunned, the "Fighting Scholar" kicked Odis away.
If it weren't for the corresponding defensive magic circle drawn on Odis's clothes, this kick would probably have broken his waist.
After landing on the ground, Odis endured the pain in her back, rolled over, and scrambled to her feet, continuing her escape around the tall herbs in the yard.
At this moment, he prayed in his heart that "The Fool" would come online soon. "The Spy" could only shoot arrows from the shadows, but he was too weak to fight head-on.
Just as the "Fighting Scholar" approached Odis again, a surge of power suddenly appeared in mid-air.
Before the "Fighting Scholar" appeared a huge black figure with twelve pairs of enormous wings, each pair of feathers inscribed with mystical symbols.
That was an angel, a holy angel.
This is a "new ability" that Klein possesses after obtaining the "Black Emperor" card.
Upon seeing the holy angel, the "fighting scholar" felt as if he had seen a king, a revered emperor.
He knelt down with a thud, no longer having any intention of resisting.
With a thud, Aria, who had just entered from outside, also knelt down on the ground. She was trembling all over, feeling that she had submitted to and pledged allegiance to that holy angel from the depths of her heart and soul.
This angel is fleeting, but His influence will last for a few seconds.
The only one who wasn't greatly affected was Odis, who was praying to the "Fool," though he too felt the immense pressure from the twelve pairs of wings.
However, Odis was still able to react normally. He took out a palm-sized wooden cylinder from his pocket, and the moment he infused it with spiritual power, the wooden cylinder turned into a pure white scepter.
Odis reached out and first delivered a "Purifying Slash" to the "Fighting Scholar," leaving a deep, golden wound on his chest, as if he had been slashed by a knife.
The golden color quickly faded, and the wound was charred black.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Odis loaded another bullet into his revolver and fired it immediately.
Bang!
This time, the target was hit, and the "Fighting Scholar's" chest was covered in flames, but he was still influenced by the angel and did not even dare to struggle.
Odis put away his scepter, stared at the "fighting scholar" who had been "ignited," and loaded the bullets into the chamber one by one. After the chamber was full, he reset the cylinder.
The "fighting scholar" was burned to death at this time.
...
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
Klein, the "Fool" above the gray fog, had been observing the "Hermit's" battle and was now certain that this new member was "quite something."
That scepter should be the extraordinary weapon mentioned at the previous tarot meeting. It's not as small as when it's activated, making it perfect for a sneak attack.
But in an encounter battle, the revolver is still more useful, even though it's a bit less powerful.
The only advantage is that it can launch fireballs larger than a fist, which can set a large area of the target's body on fire as soon as they hit.
This ability is perfect for dealing with werewolves and zombies. By setting their skin and clothes on fire, it can not only cause some damage but also disrupt them.
This weapon is worth considering buying to deal with Sharon and her opponents.
Thinking of this, Klein glanced at the street outside.
Under the gaze of "True Vision," he saw that his surroundings were covered by a mysterious power, which must be the power of that mysterious and powerful woman.
However, due to pressure from the "Fool," the other party has not yet dared to show up.
Thinking of this, Klein smiled: That powerful lady probably never dreamed that the seemingly formidable "Fool" only had this one trick up his sleeve.
Klein glanced at Odis again, confident that his display of power had made the mysterious lady wary enough, and that Odis would no longer be in danger.
So he withdrew his gaze and returned to "above the gray fog".
Because it would be strange if a great being were to keep watching a "low-sequence" "beloved," and would instead arouse suspicion.
...
Arya took a deep breath and was finally able to get up. Looking at Odis, who was holding a pistol and carefully checking whether the "Fighting Scholar" was truly dead, her eyes suddenly became complicated.
The owner of this herbal medicine shop is actually connected to a mysterious and powerful being!
How many secrets does he still hold?
