In the tattered room, Klein, whose top hat fell to the side and whose clothes were damaged, faced the gigantic demon Gilchis with bat wings on his back about four meters apart. The scene was so quiet that it seemed like a puppet show.
In fact, Klein still has some spare energy to do other things.
When the "Master of Secret Dolls" Rosago forcibly controlled him and Sharon, he was able to fight against the projection of the "Ghost" while manipulating the flames, summoning the flames, and killing the shadows brought by Sharon. If he had not made a mistake in focus and made Miss "Ghost" of Sequence 5 the main target, Rosago would have been distracted and killed Klein long ago, and would not have given him the opportunity to use the "Filthy Words" spell. Now, although Klein is definitely not as good as the other party, he only has one enemy!
Of course, there wasn't much he could do. Without giving up control of Gilchies, he could move, but not too quickly or too hastily. He could use his own extraordinary abilities that put less spiritual burden on him, but he couldn't be distracted to drive the magical items he was carrying, or draw his gun and shoot with large movements.
Before the target is controlled to a certain degree, many attacks can push or stimulate the opponent, thereby increasing the power to resist the manipulation of the "Spirit Thread" and even showing signs of escape.
So, Klein had to wait.
At this moment, his heartbeat suddenly quickened, and an uncontrollable sense of fear and tension surged in his mind.
He couldn't help but suspect that Gilchias's companions, whose intentions had been "distorted", were about to return!
Not good! My emotions are fluctuating! Klein was startled at first, then he used meditation techniques to forcefully calm his inner fluctuations.
Haha... he appears... his emotions are fluctuating... opportunity... Gilchias' heart was filled with joy, and a slow thought flashed through his mind.
Then, relying on his extraordinary ability, he tried to amplify Gehrman Sparrow's fear and tension and plant the seeds of emotion.
If successful, he only needs a complete "detonation" to render the opponent half-disabled and unable to affect him anymore!
No...how could it be...no effect...his...emotional fluctuations...are gone...Gilchias's scarlet eyes began to shrink slowly, gradually filled with emotions such as surprise, astonishment and anger.
Klein thought that the Apostle of Desire would take advantage of him to counterattack. After he calmed down completely, he found that nothing had happened. The curved horns on Gilchies' head had clearly burned out, but he did not try to take advantage of the emotional fluctuations!
After a moment of thinking, Klein roughly understood what was going on:
It’s not that Gilchies didn’t want to manipulate his fear and tension, but he failed!
From the moment he sensed the emotional fluctuations, he had to spend several seconds to digest the situation, then another two or three seconds to make a decision, and finally spend even more time organizing his thoughts and mobilizing the corresponding extraordinary abilities. All in all, it took at least ten seconds to complete the response.
It took Klein only three or four seconds from the time he realized the problem to the time he calmed down.
Therefore, Gilchias's extraordinary ability was naturally ineffective when facing an enemy in normal condition.
Simply put, the delay is too high! In this case, don't try to perform delicate operations... Klein complained, then calmed down his gloating mood and continued to deepen his control.
About ten seconds later, Gilchies seemed to have figured out where the problem lay. He no longer considered ways to target desires and emotions. Relying on the demon's powerful body and spirit, he resisted the manipulation from the "Spirit Thread" while slowly and awkwardly flapping the bat wings behind him, allowing the light blue flames wrapped around them to condense and form a fireball bit by bit.
Klein could almost foresee that there would be a blanket saturation bombardment of fireballs, so he did not hesitate to use some of his spiritual power to snap his fingers with his right thumb and middle finger.
Bang!
Those light blue flames suddenly rose up before they could really take shape, and then completely collapsed, like a grand fireworks display behind Gilchies.
"Magician", "Manipulate Fire"!
Gilchies wanted to continue struggling, but his movements were getting slower and slower, and he was becoming more and more like a rusty puppet, so much so that Klein easily moved his feet and dodged the demon language he was trying his best to utter.
Three seconds, two seconds, one second... Klein suddenly stopped and locked his eyes on Gilchias's head that had lost its curved horns.
At this point, there were still at least two and a half minutes left before he could completely control the "Apostle of Desire" and transform him into a puppet, but Klein had no such plans. He had never had such plans from the beginning!
This will take too much time, and Gilchias's accomplices will surely be able to get back before then!
Klein had only one goal from the beginning to the end, which was to control it to a certain extent so that the attacks within the limit would not help Gilchies escape from the predicament!
Scarlet eyes, ferocious face, and fangs dripping with saliva caught Klein's eyes. He opened his mouth and uttered a word:
"Bang!"
Air bullet, sequence 5 air bullet!
This is comparable to a bullet fired from a steam rifle!
Bang!
The air bullet hit Gilchies' forehead accurately, causing him to tilt his head back and pull the "spiritual line".
A bloody hole, not too deep, appeared between his eyebrows, but he did not suffer any fatal injuries overall.
To the "devils" and "apostles of desire", they seemed to be covered with a thick and hard armor all over their bodies, and their blood and flesh were extremely elastic and resistive.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Klein kept making sounds and creating air bombs, letting them hit Gilchies' forehead one after another, gradually connecting into one piece. At the same time, he calmly controlled the "Spirit Line" to prevent the opponent from pulling it and reduce the impact.
Gilchias let out a stuttering roar and desperately moved forward, trying to counterattack, but Klein was much more agile than him!
And his plan to liquefy undoubtedly failed due to the control of the "Spirit Thread".
Bang!
Another air bullet hit, completely shattering Gilchies' forehead and drilling into his brain.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Subsequent bullets flew in one after another.
Bang!
Gilchias's skull was finally opened, and the brain inside was covered with deep black grooves and was now blurred.
The aura of this "slayer" with a bounty of 9,500 pounds began to dissipate rapidly, but he did not close his eyes, because he had already lost them.
He fell to the ground slowly, and Klein approached him step by step, extending his left palm.
Two bright red eyes immediately appeared on the palm of the glove.
A cold and eerie breeze followed, and the spirit of Gilchias the Slayer, along with his black mist-like Beyonder characteristic, screamed as it drilled into Creeping Hunger and fixed itself on the blank finger.
Soon, the glove turned black again, but this time it was deep and pure, as if it was made up of countless small dots of the same color wriggling together layer by layer.
Klein sensed it for two seconds, then walked towards the broken window with a mixture of disappointment and joy.
In the process of herding Gilchias, he actually thought about which extraordinary abilities he wanted to obtain and which he did not want to obtain. The answer was that he least wanted the dangerous premonition of the "devil", because this required the "creeping hunger" to be turned on all the time and maintained in Gilchias's soul, which meant that he had to feed Gloves alone every day, which was very inconvenient, and this was somewhat redundant with his own "fortune teller" ability.
As for whether the "devil's" premonition of danger would still be useful after the puppet was made, Klein believed that it would be useful, but only for the puppet itself and had nothing to do with the operator.
The extraordinary ability that Klein most hopes to "draw" is the use of emotional fluctuations by the "Apostle of Desire" and any one of "Filthy Words", preferably one of "Death" and "Degradation".
At this moment, he was lucky enough to obtain three extraordinary abilities, one of which was "Dirty Words", but it was not "Death" or "Degradation", but "Slowness", which could make all targets within a range of seven or eight meters instantly stiffen or even stagnate, but the effect could only last about two seconds.
The second extraordinary ability is the "Magma Sword", which can create a giant flaming sword with extremely high attack power and the shape of a knife. It can directly cut off thick stone pillars with one blow, and the cut seems to have been melted. It is the choice of Gilchies when he attacks frantically.
The third one is the "Sulfur Fireball", which can not only create a powerful explosion, but also poison people and objects contaminated by the flames. If combined with the ability of demonization, more than ten or twenty can be launched at a time. If not, the maximum number is three.
It’s not bad. The damage of the “Sword of Magma” to non-undead and non-filthy creatures is obviously higher than the “Holy Light” of the “Priest of Light”... Klein came to the window and saw the backs of Gilchies’ companions walking away.
Didn't get rid of the influence? No, judging by the time, they must have gotten rid of it and returned to a place not far away. Are they running away now? Can they sense Gilchias's death? It's a bit strange... Klein turned around and saw that Gilchias's body still remained in the demonic state. It did not change after death and shrank into a human.
He looked at it for two seconds and had a vague guess:
"An ability similar to demonization shows that the person is close to losing control, but when he still has reason and can control himself, he can change back, otherwise he will always remain the same."
Klein did not delay and turned over the demon's body. He found that due to Gilchies's enlargement, his clothes and pants were all torn, causing his wallet and banknotes to fall to the ground. They were also badly damaged in the previous fireball attack and sulfur flames.
…Klein was about to look away when he suddenly noticed something glowing on the giant demon’s chest.
It was a long, thin crystal made purely of blood, with a faint smell of sulfur filling the air.
"What is this?" Klein frowned slightly, unable to think of an answer.
Gilchias's Beyonder characteristic had clearly entered the "Creeping Hunger" state, so why was there something strange coming out of his body? Klein had this puzzled thought.
Moreover, as the second mate of the "Undying King", Gilchies did not have any magical items or seals, which was a bit beyond his expectations.
