Chapter 36: "The Trickster" vs. "The Parasite"



When his eyes turned toward the garden, Klein's mind naturally reflected the scene there:

In the dark corners covered by flowers, one gray-haired mouse after another, as if bewitched by the devil, was circling around one place madly, squeaking and trying to squeeze aside their own kind to get into the core.

In the core area, a gray mouse nearly the size of an adult Loen shorthair cat lay there, its eyes visibly red, like coagulated blood.

Its tail was swinging rapidly, as if trying to throw out the rage in its heart.

Once normal-sized rats get close to it, it will stretch out its claws and hold them down, biting them to death beside it, so that there are piles of rat corpses around it. But even so, it cannot stop the rest of the rats from coming.

Seeing this scene, Klein suddenly had two thoughts:

First, the "intuition" strengthened by the power of the gray fog is really a good helper for the "trickster" to manipulate the "spirit lines". Because, if it is in an open area, it is okay to confirm which "spirit lines" represent the target at a glance. However, if it is in a prosperous city or a place with many buildings, the "trickster" who does not have the "perspective" ability cannot distinguish who the different "spirit lines" mixed together represent at a long distance, and it is difficult to accurately lock the enemy, unless the opponent is doing something more distinctive and different from others. Of course, the "trickster" can also ignore accidental injuries and perform indiscriminate control;

Secondly, the "Thief" demigod that was parasitic in the mouse's body was indeed on the verge of losing control. Not only was his size several times larger than what the "Magic Mirror" Arrodes had shown before, but his state was also extremely unstable, full of brutality and madness.

Fortunately, we arrived in time. If we had waited a few more weeks, perhaps a tragedy would have occurred... Klein's thoughts flashed through his mind, and illusory black lines appeared before his eyes.

At this moment, the straight-line distance between him and the mutant rat was less than 50 meters, and he could directly manipulate the "Spirit Line"!

At this moment, the huge, smooth-haired mouse seemed to have noticed something. It stood up suddenly and turned its head towards the kitchen.

A light flashed in its dark red eyes, and instantly the young man in a silk hat and black suit froze in place.

It "stole" the other party's main thoughts for the next two seconds, leaving his mind almost blank, and it itself did not make corresponding actions like Sequence 5 "Dream Thief"!

Then, the mouse raised its right front paw, trying to "steal" the enemy's extraordinary ability.

At this level, the number of extraordinary abilities that can be "stealed" from the same target has increased from one to three, and the duration is up to 2 hours. Of course, only one can be "stealed" at a time.

At this moment, the giant rat's thoughts became strangely sluggish, and the movements of using its abilities seemed to be tightly entangled by invisible silk threads, appearing extremely slow.

It has initially controlled the "Spirit Line"!

It just successfully "stole" the thoughts of "Gehrman Sparrow", leaving him stunned on the spot. It was just an illusion created by the "Weird Mage"!

Before officially manipulating its "Spirit Thread", Klein had already exchanged his position with the "winner" Enuni. The secret doll does not have self-awareness and various thoughts, so it will not be affected by the extraordinary ability of "stealing ideas".

How could something that didn't exist be stolen?

In order to paralyze this demigod of the "Thief" path, Klein used his illusion ability of qualitative change and deliberately made the secret puppet Enuni, who had transformed into the appearance of "German Sparrow", behave accordingly.

At this moment, he was outside Macht's Elk Manor, and the straight-line distance between him and the giant rat was more than 500 meters, but this did not prevent him from manipulating the opponent's "spiritual thread", because the "trickster" could give his extraordinary abilities to the secret puppet, including controlling the "spiritual thread" and transforming the target into a secret puppet's core means!

In other words, if there were no other restrictions, the "trickster" could completely use the secret puppet to increase the distance of his control over the "spiritual line" from 150 meters to infinity. After all, as long as he placed a secret puppet about 1 kilometer apart, he could rely on the granting of extraordinary abilities to extend the influence.

Of course, there is no such thing as unlimited ability in this world. On the one hand, Klein's current limit is 50 puppets in total, and he cannot exceed this number. On the other hand, the only thing that the "trickster" cannot give the puppets is thinking ability and self-awareness. Therefore, the limit of using puppets to control puppets is the limit of his own control over the puppets, 1 kilometer!

Once beyond this range, the secret doll transformed from the secret doll will not be able to make any moves.

In addition, the essence of the "weird wizard" granting extraordinary powers to the secret doll is to separate a worm related to the form of the mythical creature and let it enter the body of the secret doll through the "spiritual line". If the same secret doll is not given several more in advance, then when the secret doll transforms into a new secret doll, it will not be possible to separate the corresponding worm, so that the new secret doll can also be given the extraordinary powers of the original body.

Klein can currently split into 50 at most. If the number exceeds this, his spirit will be overwhelmed and he will develop symptoms of schizophrenia. He cannot recover without effective treatment. Even if he receives good treatment, he may not be able to recover, and the tendency to lose control will become more serious.

Therefore, according to Klein's experiments, the current limit of his ability to manipulate the "Spirit Line" is 1000+150 meters, and the new puppet can only be fully controlled within 1000 meters. At the same time, if the puppet dies, the characteristics of the worm in its body will return to the original body in a certain period of time according to the law of extraordinary characteristic aggregation. If this process is interrupted by someone, it may be lost.

Just as the movements of the demigod "Thief" became slow and sluggish, the mice that had been transformed into puppets around the "Winner" Enuni, who looked like "Gehrman Sparrow", rushed out of the kitchen, aimed at the garden, opened their mouths, and wanted to clean the target area with air bombs.

Suddenly, the dark red light in the giant rat's eyes brightened.

In an instant, "German Sparrow" appeared in a dark corner of the garden, among the mice that had been bitten to death, and the demigod who was the "thief" came to the kitchen and came to the long table with many items on it.

It "stole" the position of "Gehrman Sparrow"!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The air cannons of the secret mice were fired continuously and simultaneously hit the area where "Gehrman Sparrow" was standing, causing dirt to splatter, flowers to fall, blood and flesh to fly everywhere. The male and female servants in the manor house were frightened and trembled violently. They didn't understand what was going on and could only hide everywhere in panic.

The entire garden was completely plowed by the air cannon, and the soil was exaggeratedly thinned. If Klein had not concentrated his shooting on that area, the main house of the manor would definitely not have been spared.

As the flying dust settled, the mice were torn into pieces, but "German Sparrow" was still standing there, without any injury.

The "winner" Enuni released all the good luck he had accumulated at that moment!

However, his control over the giant rat's "spiritual threads" was interrupted, and there were only so many "spiritual threads", and the rat puppets had no way to intervene before, otherwise it would cause chaos and cancel each other out.

Hazel's teacher, the demigod of the "Thief" path, took the opportunity to regain his freedom of movement, then turned around, raised his right front paw towards "German Sparrow", and instantly stole the opponent's extraordinary ability to manipulate the "Spirit Thread".

As a Sequence 4 demigod, it can "steal" the abilities it wants from its target with relatively high accuracy. Generally, it chooses one out of three. The more it knows, the higher the probability of success. This time, its luck is pretty good.

Of course, if the "stealing" object is of a lower level and it has a deep understanding of the target's situation, it can "steal" whatever it wants.

Just as he put down his right front paw, the demigod of the "Thief" path raised his left front paw again. The mouse puppets then lost their legs and fell to the ground, unable to turn around.

This is a large-scale "theft", and what is stolen is the mouse's own ability to walk!

Then, countless strange symbols appeared in the giant rat's dark red eyes.

It quickly solved the "mystery" and found the location of Klein's real body.

With a flash of red light and the lift of his claws, the demigod from the "Thief" path suddenly appeared in front of Klein.

This time, what it "steals" is the distance between the two parties!

At this moment, the young man with a thin and angular face disappeared in the giant rat's eyes, and a gray rat appeared in his place.

On the surrounding trees, insects emerged and opened their "mouths" at the same time.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Air cannons were fired one after another, covering the giant rats and ordinary rats together.

While Klein was manipulating the puppets in the Elk Manor, he did not forget to transform new puppets around him. This is the basic quality of a "trickster". Then, he used the seamless interchange between his body and the puppets to set a simple trap!

The dirt and dust were blown high, and the giant rat that the "thief" parasitized by the demigod was completely "submerged".

When everything calmed down, a strong smell of blood wafted from the area where the big pit appeared, and the area was filled with bloody and flesh fragments of various shapes.

Dead? Klein saw the situation at the "bombing" site through the eyes of the surrounding puppets.

But he quickly frowned, because there was no sign of extraordinary characteristics emerging there.

As his thoughts raced, Klein took out a gold coin and flicked it up with a clang.

As the gold coins fell, pictures emerged in his mind one after another. These were the revelations gained by the star spirit body.

Compared to the past, Klein, as a demigod, can obtain more information through this simplified divination method!
