Chapter 397 "Death" Chris
In the Middle family's manor, the former tranquility and peace were shrouded in an invisible atmosphere of tension. An indescribable sense of heaviness permeated the air, and almost everyone's hearts tightened involuntarily.
Unknown malice seemed to be hidden in every corner. The servants in the Middle Family Manor held their breath, and their footsteps echoed in the empty corridor.
The servants moved more hurriedly and cautiously than ever before, as if every step was on the edge of danger.
There was a hint of uneasiness in their eyes, and their voices were lowered as well, for fear of disturbing the undercurrent beneath the tranquility.
The flowers in the garden that were once competing for beauty have lost their colors, the dewdrops that occasionally slide down the leaves are more like silent sighs, and the birds in the cages no longer sing as usual, and the occasional bird calls seem particularly harsh, as if foreshadowing something is about to happen.
In the master bedroom of the manor, the flickering candlelight illuminated the furrowed brow and thoughtful face of Marquis Middle.
"Fischer, Fischer...Chris Fischer..."
He stood up and paced back and forth, tapping the table with his fingers from time to time, making a crisp and rhythmic sound.
Every tap seemed to be a silent question, yet I felt anxious because I couldn't find the absolutely correct answer.
"Well, as expected, the person from Lorne is still hesitant and has not responded directly. If the extraordinary person who has ascended to the position of monarch comes from Lorne, the Fisher family's affairs can be resolved more easily."
He took a deep breath. There were hundreds of powerful monarchs in Loen, but there were only twelve known top monarchs.
Among those twelve top monarchs, there happened to be one who had an important connection with the Middle family a hundred years ago. To be more precise, that person had been adopted by the grandfather of Marquis Middle when he was young.
Although more than a hundred years have passed and the relationship between the two sides has long since faded, but based on that kindness, I think we can still ask him to come and help once.
Marquis Middle has made a decisive decision to send all the direct descendants of the family away in advance and hide them in a place where almost no one knows about it.
Now that things have come to this, even if Chris comes back, he won't be able to use them to threaten him. As for how many ordinary peripheral members die, that is within the acceptable range for Marquis Middle.
"Chris, you have to kill him completely. In a sense, this 'Grim Reaper' is a more troublesome existence than Aldridge."
At this moment, the sudden voice of a servant outside shocked Marquis Middle.
"Lord Marquis Middel, please come out and take a look! There is an important situation! Master Sloer, he, he came back from outside alone!"
When Marquis Middle heard the servant's voice, his whole body trembled. He turned around in surprise and followed the servant outside.
As night fell, the manor was shrouded in a faint moonlight, but this tranquility not only failed to relieve the tension, but instead added a bit of mystery and uneasiness.
The wind from afar blew through the woods, bringing gusts of coolness, and the entire manor was immersed in an indescribable atmosphere of tension.
When he arrived at the manor, Marquis Middle saw his direct descendant, the teenage Slor, standing expressionless in the distance, walking towards his position step by step.
The young man had blank eyes, as if he had no idea what he was doing.
Slor Middle is the most talented of all his descendants. Although he is only in his teens, he has already reached the next level of qualitative change and will most likely become a monarch-level transcendent in the future.
So he was very concerned about Sloer's situation and immediately ran out of the house to check.
What is going on?
Why did he come back alone, and he didn't seem to be in a good condition!
Marquis Middle was very experienced in mysticism and soon realized that this was the influence of mental magic. His descendant, Slor, was being controlled by magic!
"Chris?"
He realized immediately that it was most likely Chris who did it!
Suddenly, not far behind him, the "servant" who called him out suddenly changed his appearance and turned into the expressionless Chris Fischer in an instant.
He swung the white shin blade in his hand and stabbed at Marquis Middel in front of him.
"you!"
Marquis Middle finally reacted at the last moment, and his body turned into nothingness. He had been tormented for more than a month, and his originally calm emotions had almost collapsed. He couldn't help but feel furious.
“Chris!”
He subconsciously wanted to use the power of "freeze", but Sloer was right next to him, less than two meters away. If he really used "freeze", it would be impossible to avoid accidentally hurting him!
Chris! You are so mean!
The furious Marquis Middle still resisted the urge to use the power of "freeze".
Seeing the shin blade piercing through again, and realizing that Marquis Middle was staring at him fiercely, Chris said nothing with an indifferent expression, but immediately used the "Eye of Judgment" to try to break the opponent's mental defenses.
However, Marquis Middle has a rare treasure that can resist mental attacks.
"Eyes of Judgment" did not take effect.
Although some mysterious treasures of treasure level are far less powerful than forbidden treasures, they have very good auxiliary effects, such as "flight", "invisibility", "resistance to mental attacks", and "fire prevention".
In addition, there is no price to pay for mysterious treasures of treasure level, so their actual value is no less than that of forbidden treasures worth four digits.
But even if one attack was ineffective, Chris didn't care. He just kept on attacking, almost breaking through the opponent's death line again and again.
That kind of nihilism would never stay on forever, he knew it very well.
"hateful!"
Marquis Middle roared in rage and kept trying to increase the distance to avoid accidentally hurting his own bloodline after launching the attack. He knew very well in his heart that because of the turmoil in the past period of time, the people in the entire city were extremely tired, and now was the time when the city’s vigilance was the most relaxed.
There was no one in his family who could help him, and his cousin who was at a lower level as a monarch also temporarily left the city.
There is no doubt that everything is under Chris Fischer's control!
That's why he chose to attack at this moment, the time when it was easiest to succeed!
The two sides fought for a while, and many people in the manor were driven out, but they were too weak to be of any help.
"Master!"
"My Lord Marquis!"
"It's 'Death' Chris, he's back again!"
Marquis Middle knew very well that his spiritual power was about to be exhausted, and he would not be able to maintain his state of nothingness, and would soon be dead.
Finally, he left the manor and put enough distance between himself and his important direct bloodline. Then Marquis Middle immediately activated the power of "freezing" in his field and instantly froze Chris Fischer who was fighting in close combat.
However, after the freezing was successful, the flames began to burn fiercely on Chris's body again. Marquis Middle knew very well that he could not freeze him for long.
It's only a matter of time before the terrifying "Grim Reaper" breaks through the ice!
So, he played his last two cards!
The first trump card is a forbidden item with a three-digit number 501.
"Ring of the Tempering River"
It was a black and green ring that looked very ancient, but actually concealed some kind of malicious power. The cost of using it was fifteen years of life.
It has a mysterious effect that can cause nearby hostile targets to fall into a deep coma, and it is difficult for the unconscious person to wake up unless he is hurt.
The second trump card of Marquis Middle is the most powerful supernatural power of the "Ruins Song Spirit". He plans to cooperate with the coma effect of the former to take Chris's life.
"Song of the Ruin Spirit".
It was a powerful force that could directly take away the soul of others. Marquis Middel did not hesitate at all and began to chant in a low voice.
The sound rang out quietly. It was not like a mortal song, but a low hum from the abyss, with a magic that could penetrate the soul and touch the deepest part of the heart.
Chris felt that it was like an ancient spell, being slowly plucked by an invisible hand. Every note fell heavily in the silent air, stirring up circle after circle of invisible ripples.
The melody is complex and strange, sometimes it sounds like weeping, as if it is the collective wailing of countless unfulfilled wishes, entangled in the thoughts of the listeners, making people fall into a deep pain involuntarily; sometimes it becomes passionate and high-pitched, but adds a bit of ominousness and despair, like a low roar before a storm, foreshadowing the coming disaster!
There is an indescribable power in this song, which can penetrate the barriers of the flesh and directly act on the human soul. As the melody rises and falls, the deepest part of Chris's heart seems to be slowly torn open by invisible hands. Those secrets, fears, desires and even the memories that he most doesn't want to face are awakened one by one, floating on the edge of consciousness and unable to escape.
The soul is about to be taken away...
However, at the same moment when he was about to sink completely, Chris suddenly activated the "Moment of Rift"!
What he had been waiting for was the moment when Marquis Middle completely switched from defense to offense!
In an instant, Marquis Middel felt a very strong threat of death, and suddenly he began to deeply regret giving up on the transformation to nothingness and activating the Song of the Spirit.
Did I make the wrong tactical choice?
And why exactly? The stun effect of the "Quenching River Ring" would not work on that man!
Chris, holding the white shin and the black blade, was trembling all over because of the "Song of the Ruin Spirit", but because of the strong resistance brought by the "Mystic Lake" ability, his soul was not taken away immediately, and even the effect of the Soul Tempering River Ring just now did not take effect.
Marquis Middle subconsciously wanted to activate the nihilism, but it was too late!
Everything around has stopped!
