Chapter 238: Wonderful
At the critical moment, Heras lost his usual grace and elegance in battle. He bent his knees and fell backward, narrowly avoiding the dagger burning with black flames.
He didn't even bother to pick up the revolver that had fallen to the ground. He rolled several times to avoid the subsequent attacks. Finally, he found a chance to get up and quickly uttered the words in ancient Hermetic language: "Imprisonment!"
“Snap!”
As he activated his ability, an ice spike flew at high speed and pierced his right shoulder. The translucent ice pierced out from behind, bringing out a handful of blood.
The air around Angel became sticky, as if forming a huge, transparent amber, surrounding her and making her unable to move.
Heras finally recovered. He didn't bother to pull out the ice spike on his shoulder or pick up the extravagant revolver. Instead, he took out an iron-black metal glove from the secret pocket of his clothes and prepared to put it on his left hand.
Being touched by the ghost, Katie was about to lose body temperature in the cold. The unconscious Katie finally managed to pull the trigger and shot a light golden purification bullet beside her. The bullet shot out from the armored ghost's body took away the black mist that made up his body, turning him into a paper man slowly falling from the sky.
Katie's limbs were trembling as she slowly regained her mobility. She then raised her head, turned on her spiritual vision, and found that the armored ghost had reappeared in a corner of the restaurant. It seemed that it could not leave this place because of Heras's confinement order. She smiled coldly, raised her gun and continued to chase the hateful ghost.
Swish——
A dagger with black flames flew towards her like lightning. Katie caught a glimpse of it from the corner of her eye. Her hair stood on end and she dared not aim or shoot. She quickly bent down to avoid it.
Snap——
The two invaders, one in front and one behind, used the flame to leave the corner of the wall, out of the invisible wall formed by the "imprisonment" command, and appeared in front of Katie.
Why are you all attacking me? Is it just because I’m weaker than Heras?
Katie gritted her teeth in anger. She swung out the whip that she had never used before and whipped it towards Angel who was closer to her. However, the distance was too close for Angel to grab the middle of the whip before she could completely swing it away. However, there was still some force at the end of the whip, which rolled back from the side and back and hit her waist.
The attack was not heavy, but the strange power attached to the whip seemed to strike directly at the soul, like a red-hot iron pressing on Angel's waist skin, making her scream out.
The next second, Moriarty's spirit opened its arms and enveloped Katie's body again. She was about to pull back the whip to attack again, but her eyes suddenly became straight and her limbs became stiff, as if she was wrapped in layers of ice and could not move.
Angel raised his right hand, and ice spikes appeared from his palm. He was going to deal with Katie who was frozen by the ghost just like he dealt with Parker.
"It is a crime to illegally invade another person's home."
Heras's majestic voice came, speaking at a fast speed without emotion, and the tone gradually rose. He had recited it in ancient Hermetic language for the third time, but it was not until the last time that his voice was loud enough to be heard by Angel and Moriarty.
The voice reached Angel's ears, and she felt a chill in her heart. She caught a glimpse of Heras wearing the metal glove on his left hand, with his finger raised high, his face serious and determined.
"Frenzy!"
Angel's brown eyes turned golden, his pupils erected, like a legendary dragon. He stared at Heras who raised his finger and pointed at him, activating the ability of the Ring of Madness to disrupt the enemy's mind.
"The guilty... are guilty?"
The Beyonder wearing the magical glove felt like he was being targeted by a High-Sequence enemy. His heart was pounding, and for a moment he forgot what he was going to say.
He was annoyed and mad about this phenomenon. Should he designate that those who broke into the house should be restricted? No, he should get rid of that useless piece of shit Katie first!
Heras's mind was in a frenzy, and he was about to interrupt the new "code" that was half promulgated, and use the "death" law to execute his companions who were more trouble than help.
No, that's not right. This is not what I thought. What should I... do?
Heras, the Sequence 6 Judge, who, after donning the metal gauntlet, had acquired some of the abilities of a Sequence 5 Punishment Knight, had finally recovered quickly from the frenzy. He looked at Angel, who was aiming the ice spikes at him, and gritted his teeth and shouted:
"The guilty should be restrained!"
Moriarty, who had just crawled out of Katie's body, and Angel, who was holding the ice spike in his hand, were surrounded by layers of invisible shackles as Helasli made the declaration with the metal glove. Their joints seemed to be filled with glue and they could no longer move a step.
Heras exhaled a breath of foul air. Although the uneasiness that was gradually rising in his heart had not been eliminated and the wound on his shoulder was still bleeding, he finally got the situation under control.
Katie was still covered by the armored ghost that could not move, her face was pale, as if her soul had been sucked out, Parker's brains were scattered all over the floor, deader than dead, Capin was kicked to the corner of the restaurant and lay on the ground motionless.
Looking at these teammates who were of no help, Heras felt a little disdainful.
"I'm the one who's going to solve the problem here."
This time it was his real thought, not a crazy idea that popped up in the "frenzy".
He was about to pick up the gold-plated revolver that had fallen to the ground and deal with the intruders, but he sensed someone approaching from outside the "restricted" area of the restaurant.
Is it Belize? He finally heard the noise and came to help?
If this guy had arrived two minutes earlier, why would I be in such a mess?
With a thought, he pointed to the door and said in ancient Hermetic language: "Remove."
The door was kicked open with a bang, and Belize, with a beard, carrying a gray-white mechanical box on his back and holding a complex high-pressure steam rifle, walked into the restaurant cautiously. Seeing the servants lying on the ground, his teammates whose lives were unknown, and the angry Heras, surprise and a hint of fear flashed in his blue eyes.
"Mr. Horas, I heard down there..."
"It's an intruder, and I've got him under control. Belize, take care of that woman, and leave the other weird ghost to me."
The high-pressure steam rifle has limited effect on ghosts, and will kill the "possessed" Katie as well, so he asked Belia to kill the witch, while he used purification bullets to deal with the ghosts.
Unfortunately, this witch has a nice figure, but her age isn't right. If she were like the ones in the basement...
Heras's thoughts even flew to the basement, to some strange places.
At this moment, he saw the ghost's fingertips, which were restricted by the magical item generated by the Beyonder characteristic of Sequence 5 "Punishment Knight", move, and a smile seemed to appear on the translucent face covered by the mask.
Strange, why is there a smile on the mask?
As soon as this thought flashed through Heras' mind as he picked up the revolver, the uneasiness in his heart caused by spiritual reminders surged up wildly. Sharp danger warnings came from under his feet, around him, and above his head at the same time.
Are they everywhere? Are they other invaders, or a pre-set spell?
"This place is forbidden..."
"boom--"
Before the hastily-made law was finished, a thunderous explosion sounded next to Heras's ears.
Large pieces of rocks, violent shock waves and scorching flames surrounded him, surrounded Belize who had just raised the high-pressure steam rifle, surrounded Moriarty and Katie "inside" him, and Angel who was unable to move.
The explosives that Moriarty had buried throughout the villa in his spiritual state the night before were finally ignited and exploded under his flame control!
