At the same time, Monica's figure appeared in the shadow behind the puppeteer like a ghost!

Deep in her wine-red pupils, the identification array was spinning frantically at an unprecedented speed, trying to penetrate the wide black robe and strange mask and analyze the true strength of this powerful enemy!

Identification technique activated!

Identification failed!

The magic of identification was like hitting an insurmountable firewall.

But Monica is no longer the same as before. She can now infer some useful information through magic fluctuations and enemy dynamic simulations!

It is not just relying on identification techniques to determine the information of the identification target!

Skill speculation!

Ice-type natural magic, extremely high purity!

Space fluctuations, suspected to be space magic!

Occupational level speculation!

Above level IX professionals, suspected to be legends!

No need to wait for identification to cause further useless consumption.

Even though Monica reacted quickly, a mental shock still automatically rebounded from the puppeteer's mask.

Monica groaned and forcibly interrupted the identification technique. The backlash made her eyes go black. She staggered back half a step, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.

She looked at the puppeteer in surprise. This was the first time she was attacked in the middle of an appraisal!

At the very least, professionals or equipment below the legendary level should not have this ability.

It seems that either the puppeteer's mask is special, or the puppeteer is a powerful person above the legendary level!

Their team really hit a wall this time!

"Huh... appraiser?"

The puppeteer seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. He tilted his head slightly, with the mask facing Monica's direction, and said in a cold voice with a hint of amusement,

"An interesting ability... Unfortunately, your eyes are still unable to see the true nature of the wise. Don't waste your energy, red-haired lady. Your souls... are far more precious than you imagine. Don't waste them on meaningless things."

The covetousness contained in those words was like the licking of a cold poisonous snake, making Monica feel cold all over.

Mark endured the severe pain in his arm and the dizziness caused by the shock and rushed to the water tank again!

The cross arm shield turned into a huge war hammer, and colorful black light condensed madly!

From the information Monica synchronized with them, he naturally understood that it was impossible to kill this guy from the Enlightenment Society.

Now, the most urgent task is to release the young sea mirage first!

"Xiaomu! Disturb him!"

“Mmm——!!!”

Xiao Mu let out an unprecedented sharp scream!

The three pairs of wings were fully opened, and the colorful black light, holy light, and gray-blue undead magic on the body surface exploded like an out-of-control furnace!

A chaotic force field mixed with divine purification, dark devouring and death and decay, like an invisible shock wave, slammed into the puppeteer!

Although Xiao Mu's strength does not seem strong at the moment, don't forget that Xiao Mu can even directly devour the power of the Wild God!

Xiao Mu's lethality may not be as great as Monica and Anna, but he is unique in terms of defensive interference.

It comes from the chaotic force field of the "Extreme Angel", and even the members of Mark's team cannot break through it easily!

However, the puppeteer's body only swayed slightly, and a hint of surprise seemed to flash across his eyes under the mask before returning to its cold state.

A thin ice-blue shield with starlight flowing around him was wrapped around him.

Xiao Mu's chaotic force field, which was enough to disrupt any attribute of magic, was actually blocked by this seemingly fragile shield, like a stream hitting a reef, causing only ripples!

"This slime? It's growing so fast! What an incredible creation... Every time I see you, there's a different surprise!" The puppeteer's voice was filled with a hint of almost fanatical curiosity for the first time, his eyes fixed on Xiao Mu. "It's worth a thousand times more than those stupid monsters!"

At the same time as Xiao Mu exploded, the cross shield in Mark's hand had turned into a cross battle axe, wrapped with all his strength, tearing through the rain curtain and smashing hard at the connection of the water tank!

He wants to smash this damn cage open!

"freeze."

The puppeteer's cold voice sounded like a command.

Under Mark's feet, the wet cobblestone road instantly turned into mirror-smooth ice!

A terrifying suction force came from the ice surface, as if it was going to weld his feet tightly!

At the same time, the air in front of his axe trajectory suddenly solidified, forming a half-meter-thick, crystal clear ice wall!

“Boom——!”

The battle axe smashed hard on the ice wall!

Ice fragments flew everywhere like shrapnel!

The ice wall shook violently, covered with spider-web-like cracks, but it withstood Mark's powerful blow and failed to break!

The huge recoil force caused Mark's palm to break, and blood instantly dyed the hammer handle red. His chest was filled with blood, his throat felt sweet, and a trace of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

He staggered backward, leaving bloody footprints on the smooth ice with every step, looking very miserable.

Judging from the speed at which the puppeteer can condense magic, he is much more powerful than the dragon man Spence and the werewolf Warwick they encountered before!

I'm afraid that even if all members of Mark's team were to achieve their extreme transformations, they might not be his match!

What's more, according to Monica's identification and speculation, the guy in front of her even knows space magic.

Since he appeared, he has only used ice-based natural magic to deal with Mark's team!

Moreover, on the surrounding rooftops, the six men in black robes were like cold sculptures. They did not move at all from beginning to end, but just watched in silence as Team Mark fought with the Puppeteer.

Their eyes occasionally swept across the battlefield with a condescending indifference, as if they were watching a farce that had already been doomed.

A puppeteer alone is enough to control the overall situation.

"Give it up, Trainee Inquisitor."

The puppeteer slowly raised a black-gloved hand, palm facing up.

Countless tiny ice crystals condensed and spun above his palm, forming an ice storm core that emitted a terrifyingly low temperature.

"Your strength is like an ant trying to shake a tree in front of me. Struggling will only bring you meaningless pain. That cub is destined to be a necessary tool to summon the mirage. The people of Anchor Bay are also destined to be the noble sacrifice of their lives to capture the monster. And you..."

His gaze swept over Enzo, who was struggling to get up, Monica, whose mouth was bleeding, and Anna, who looked pale, and finally stopped at Mark. His eyes were as if he was examining precious experimental materials:

"...Perhaps it could become an interesting signpost on my Lord's path to ultimate wisdom."

The roar of the adult sea mirage in the inland sea, a mixture of endless anger and sadness, was like a tangible hammer, smashing hard on everyone's soul!

In the distance, the dark blue giant wall connecting the sky and the earth was already clear enough to see the tumbling giant trees and the remains of monsters in it!

The huge waves carried a breath of destruction and were less than a kilometer away from the outer harbor breakwater of Anchor Bay City!

The shadow of destruction completely enveloped the entire city!
