Duke Negan's mansion, the ballroom.

Disguised as Baron Gramiel, Zilingos stood leisurely behind the railing of the second-floor corridor, holding a glass of blood-red Olmier wine, admiring the men and women on the dance floor and the gorgeously dressed ladies and ladies.

But his eyes did not contain the slightest desire, they were as calm as a frozen lake, and he only occasionally glanced at the huge crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling, and at Duke Negan who was chasing beautiful figures with his eyes a few steps away.

The duke wore a neat dark blue admiral's uniform with red ribbons on his shoulders connecting medals of honor. He liked to dress like this on all formal occasions to commemorate his glorious military career in the past few decades.

However, his waist had long been bloated, his body was filled with fat, and his sharp, shrewd gray-blue eyes were now filled with turbidity and desire. However, due to good maintenance, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, mouth, and forehead were relatively shallow, and his black hair was still thick.

This is Pallas Nigan, the Duke of Bennigan, the main supporter of the Conservative Party, the elder brother of Prime Minister Agusid, and one of the richest and most powerful people in the Kingdom of Loen.

At the same time, he is also the target of Qilingos's secret infiltration into Backlund!

Assassinating such a big shot is so exciting that it makes one tremble all over... Qi Lingos retracted his gaze and closed his eyes.

He was willing to accept this commission not only because the price offered by the other party was attractive enough, but also because he himself loved adventure and liked to challenge difficult tasks.

If the assassination is successful, my fame will spread throughout the northern and southern continents, surpassing the "Four Kings". Moreover, I will also get a card, one of the cards made by Emperor Roselle that contains the secrets of the gods! Qi Lingos suppressed his excitement and looked down at his left hand.

The Creeping Hunger had become transparent, and outsiders could not tell that Baron Gramiel was still wearing gloves just by looking at it or touching it.

“This is truly a magical item… If it weren’t for it, I, who is only Sequence 6, would never have been able to become one of the pirate generals…” As thoughts flashed through his mind, Qi Lingos suddenly felt a little regretful.

During his years of pirate career, he had seen and met many extraordinary people, including members of the "Aurora Society" who liked to venture to the end of the Sonia Sea.

Therefore, he knew that the "creeping hunger" was still lacking a lot compared to the real "shepherd".

First of all, the switching state is too slow, requiring at least one second, while a real "shepherd" can change in an instant. Secondly, the driven soul can only use one to three abilities it had in its lifetime. As for how many and which ones, it all depends on luck and is fixed after the first "herding". A real "shepherd" can selectively decide three, without having to roll dice like at a gambling table. Finally, "Creeping Hunger" can only "herd" five souls at the same time, while a real "shepherd" can have up to seven.

Of course, both have the same limitation, that is, only one soul can be driven at a time, and only the extraordinary abilities corresponding to this soul and the extraordinary abilities of the individual can be used. If one wants to replace an original soul with a new one, the process cannot be reversed, and there will be no chance to regret.

After seven or eight years of adjustments, Qi Lingos finally settled on five souls, whose abilities complemented each other, making their master look quite terrifying.

And precisely because of the constant adjustments and attempts in those years, the story of "Vice Admiral Hurricane" being omnipotent and knowing everything spread among the pirates.

Amid the passionate dance music, Qi Lingos rehearsed the next action in his mind, and finally sighed inwardly with a hint of regret:

"It's a pity that I didn't find the 'traveler' these days, otherwise I wouldn't have to worry about anything tonight."

If he could catch the woman who was suspected to be the "traveler", Qilingos would definitely feed one of the five souls that were originally "grazing" to the "creeping hunger" without hesitation.

For him, the capabilities of this sequence pathway are very useful!

Qi Lingos glanced at the huge crystal chandelier hanging from the roof and decided not to wait any longer.

The soul he currently drives has only one ability, which is the ability to change its own appearance and body shape. It does not have the ability to compete with other extraordinary people, but because this extraordinary ability is very useful in many things, Qilingos has never been willing to replace it.

The good thing is that no matter which soul he is driving, Qi Lingos can use his own extraordinary ability as the "Wind Blessed One" at the same time.

Finally, he pretended to be chasing the graceful figure of a noble lady, and let his eyes sweep over Duke Negan and the men surrounding him.

Duke Negan is a devout believer of the Lord of Storms and a key figure in the Church of Storms influencing the situation in the kingdom. He must be protected by the extraordinary people of the Church of Storms. Although the Negan family is not an ancient family with a history of thousands of years, it ranks among the top in the kingdom in terms of wealth and power. It will definitely seek the formula of sequence potions in secret and seek the service of extraordinary people... Qilingos had a surge of thoughts, and he eliminated the gentlemen who belonged to the nobility and officials, and locked on a man who always followed Duke Negan.

The man was wearing a black tuxedo, had brown hair and blue eyes, and had almost no expression on his face. He was always alert and vigilant of his surroundings.

Qi Lingos nodded imperceptibly and pressed his right hand forward slightly.

Woo!

A sudden gust of wind swept over the dance floor, blowing out the candles on the crystal chandelier.

At the moment when light and darkness intertwined, and at the moment when everyone's attention was attracted, several thin wind blades, with the cover of the strong wind, hit the metal chain hanging the crystal chandelier, and hit the same part.

Creak!

With a teeth-grinding sound of shattering, the huge crystal chandelier fell straight into the dance floor, making a clanging sound on the ground. Screams rang out one after another, and many guests were injured by the flying fragments, and they screamed in extreme fear.

Taking advantage of the darkness and chaos in the hall, the glove on Qi Lingos' left hand squirmed and changed, condensing into a golden surface.

His expression then became full of majesty, his eyes saw through the darkness and stared at the man next to Duke Negan.

Suddenly, two flashes of light like lightning lit up in Qi Lingos' eyes.

The extraordinary person who was responsible for protecting Duke Negan suddenly let out a scream, fell to the ground with his head covered, and kept rolling and struggling.

In a flash, Qilingos' figure passed through the darkness and rushed towards Duke Negan.

However, the goal reflected in his dark and deep eyes was not panic at all, but full of confidence.

Duke Negan's tall and fat body stood in place, looking down at the incoming assassin.

He raised his right hand, pushed it forward, and spoke in a low voice in ancient Hermes:

"captivity!"

In silence, Qi Lingos paused abruptly, and it seemed as if he was surrounded by transparent walls or extremely sticky liquid.

It made him like an insect in amber and a prisoner in a cell.

The leader of the conservative nobles, the hereditary duke, Pallas Nigen himself was actually an extraordinary person, a very powerful extraordinary person!

Duke Negan spoke again in a low voice and waved his right hand:

"Whip!"

Snap! Snap!

Qi Lingos seemed to be hit by an invisible whip, which tore his clothes, tore his flesh and exposed his bones.

Then, Duke Negan leaned forward, clenched his right fist, and judged majestically:

"die!"

Bang! He swung his arm, and his whole body left an afterimage as he crashed into Qilingos' body, while his fist accurately hit the target's head in an unstoppable and unavoidable manner.

Crack! Qi Lingos's head shattered, but everything around him also shattered. Duke Negan was still standing there, just dreaming.

At some point, the pirate general had switched his abilities and entered a "nightmare" state.

But unlike a normal "nightmare", after dragging people into the dream, he can still move himself!

Qi Lingos' figure quietly appeared behind Duke Negan, and his dark and cold eyes locked onto him.

His right fist was wrapped in a high-speed spinning gust of wind and stabbed into the target's vest like a sharp blade.

Woo!

Amid the roar of the wind, Qilingos's right fist pierced through Duke Negan's body and his heart, but Duke Negan's figure quickly became transparent, like a summoned spirit.

The nearly invisible shadow suddenly dissipated, and Duke Negan appeared in front of the double doors on the other side of the corridor with a scrutinizing smile on his face.

Another Beyonder... They were prepared in advance? They were ambushing me?

How is that possible!

Qi Lingos had a flash of thought, and although he was unwilling to accept this reality, he still responded calmly.

The glove on his left palm squirmed and revealed dense dark golden scales, and his pupils dimmed and stood up.

Immediately afterwards, an invisible wave swept in all directions. Gentlemen and ladies fell into uncontrollable fear at the same time. They left their hiding places and ran around aimlessly. The scene suddenly became extremely chaotic.

This made those extraordinary people dare not act rashly, for fear of hurting their relatives and friends.

Seizing this opportunity, Qilingos swirled a hurricane around him and ran at high speed, crashing through a lounge door and the window of the bay window.

With a clang, he pounced out of the house, and with the help of the wind, he flew a long distance and flew out of Duke Negan's mansion.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, Qi Lingos immediately ran to the woods opposite, which was a municipal park - he had already explored the nearby terrain.

As long as he could get rid of the pursuit behind him, he could change his appearance and blend into Backlund's population of more than five million.

This is also the reason why he dares to take on difficult tasks!

After a while, a strong wind blew towards Duke Negan's residence. The Cardinal of the Church of Storms, the Archbishop of the Backlund Diocese, and the "Singer of God" Ace Snake "brought" several "Manufactured Punishers" and flew directly over.

He didn't have time to inform the other Beyonders.

Alger was one of the people who arrived with Archbishop Ace, but he was in a very bad mood because he saw the broken window and his colleagues who had just chased out of the house.

This indicated that "Vice Admiral Hurricane" Zillingos had escaped.
