In the first layer of the opened "Box of the Past", the long table, chairs, and people like Fors were like dolls, either still or driven by clockwork, performing repetitive and simple movements.
Butis's hair stood on end when he saw this scene, and he inexplicably felt that he would join and become a part of them.
He instinctively wanted to react to the "0" level seal in his hand, but he saw the hooded woman in purple robe beside the pumpkin carriage retract her right hand, half-clenched it and put it to her mouth.
A dark, ancient horn instantly condensed in her palm, carrying an extremely heavy and powerful meaning.
"Magic Horn", the Horn of Destruction!
Butis' pupils suddenly dilated. Without bothering to deal with the problem of the "Box of the Old Days", he stretched out his right hand and grabbed forward, as if lifting the invisible veil covering the void.
The area he was in was distorted again, disappeared, and was hidden.
"Woo"!
The horn in Cattleya's hand emitted a low humming sound that echoed in the room but did not spread out.
Under the superposition of sound waves, the shadows shattered, the ground cracked, and the space hidden by the "Secret Saint" Butis was like thick glass hit by a heavy hammer. Countless cracks appeared at the same time and intertwined together.
On the other side, a tall knight in black full body armor jumped out from the shadows. He held a long and wide straight sword, and two balls of deep red light flashed in his eye sockets.
"Dark Saint" Xesma.
"Woo"!
Cattleya blew the horn again, and everything in the room seemed to solidify into translucent amber.
Silently, the "amber" shattered and the knight covered in black armor fell to the ground like a mirror and turned into small pieces.
The distorted and hidden area then returned to reality.
However, the "Secret Saint" Butis also took advantage of the gap between the two horn sounds and created one illusory door after another around him.
Some of them are open, some are deep, some are covered with mysterious patterns, and some are hollow in the center, and you can vaguely see the endless darkness behind...
There were so many of these illusory doors, which were densely packed and overlapped one another, almost enveloping the "Secret Saint" Butis inside.
Without taking the time to look or think, Butis immediately opened a gray-blue illusory door with seven brass keyholes and threw the "Box of the Old Days" in his hand, which was about to open the second layer, into it.
This is the "exile" of the "secret mage", which can throw the initially controlled target into the corresponding space-time turbulence. Different illusory doors represent different scenes, with dangers and opportunities coexisting.
This kind of "exile" is not permanent. At Butis's sequence level, the "Box of the Old Days" can only be kept away from reality for twenty seconds. Once the time is up, the "0" level seal will return to Butis through the "Illusion Door" just now.
However, by that time, the "betrayal" spiritual wisdom caused by the enemy's extraordinary ability must have disappeared.
As a demigod on the "apprentice" path, Butis had traveled to many places, witnessed many things, and recorded various abilities. In an instant, he made the most correct decision.
At the same time, the "Black Knight" that was broken into pieces quickly squirmed and reorganized, turning into a thin blanket of blood and flesh, covering every corner of the room.
As a cult that can only survive in the shadow of reality, although the Aurora Society has many crazy people, it is still accustomed to covering up when doing things, so as not to attract official forces before the goal is achieved.
Of course, once things come to an end, they will definitely declare their existence in a high-profile manner.
In addition, the "Dark Saint" Xesma also hopes to do this to a certain extent to block the enemy's possible helpers hidden outside and divide the battlefield.
When a layer of flesh and blood grew on the floor, walls and ceiling of the room, a twisted and swaying black shadow rose from the corner.
This is a soul herded by the "Dark Saint" Xesma.
It is a powerful vampire from the God-Forsaken Land, corresponding to Sequence 4 "Witch King" of the "Moon" pathway.
If the object that the “shepherd” is herding is at the demigod level, due to its strong spiritual body, it can be released directly, but only one at a time, unless the corresponding “shepherd” has become a “Three-Headed Holy Temple” of Sequence 3.
Seizing the opportunity when the horn in the hand of the female demigod beside the pumpkin carriage was slowly dissipating, the twisted and swaying shadow of the "Witch King" reached out and dug out one of his own eyes, an illusory eye, a bright red eye.
The eyes were filled with a bright and crimson light, which instantly illuminated the entire room, as if a red moon had descended here.
The lady in a black robe with purple patterns and a dark hood was reflected in its pupils.
Then, the shadow of the "Witch King" clenched the hand holding his eyeball, causing the crimson "moon" to be completely swallowed by the darkness.
A deep, solidified darkness then emerged around Cattleya, binding her to the spot and making the scene there seem to be frozen.
Seeing this scene, the "Secret Saint" Butis took a step forward and instantly appeared behind the enemy.
"Flash" followed by "Flash", "Flash" followed by "Flash", and eight figures of Butis in black robes appeared around Cattleya!
It was not that he created a clone, but that he "flashed" too quickly, leaving an afterimage at the original place, which failed to disappear for a short time.
Some of these "eight" Butis released lightning storms, some condensed a blazing white spear, and some covered their entire bodies with black armor and slashed forward with a deep sword that could split everything...
Different figures, different abilities, attacking or controlling, all targeting Cattleya.
Almost without any interval, Butis' figure "flashed" to another corner, quickly became transparent, and was about to disappear.
He didn't have the intention to kill the enemy, because this was Backlund, and the noise of their fight would soon be uncontrollable and would spread outside. By then, an official angel might descend directly.
The reason why he launched a counterattack first and then "teleported" away was because he wanted to suppress the enemy and prevent her from interfering with his escape from the "Dark Saint" Xesma. This was a very reasonable strategy.
But as early as a few seconds ago, in a room on the upper floor of the old apartment, "Judgement" Hugh had learned about the changes in the gathering place through the "voice of the heart" of Miss "Justice".
Although she was worried and anxious, she was not panicked at all. She jumped directly from the window according to the predetermined plan, turned around in mid-air, pointed at the target area and said:
"Teleportation is prohibited here!"
After doing this, she immediately distanced herself from the dilapidated apartment so as not to distract her own demigod.
With such interference, the "Secret Saint" Butis failed to enter the spiritual world smoothly. A rusty and extremely heavy door seemed to appear in front of him, tightly blocking the "road".
For Butis, this level of illusory door could not prevent him from leaving. He could just "open the door" and leave with a slight adjustment.
But at this time, something strange happened to the female demigod in the black robe with purple patterns!
Silvery-white light appeared in Cattleya's eyes, and they connected together like a mysterious giant snake.
This was "short-lived luck" that came from the knowledge she parsed from the blood of the "Snake of Fate".
No matter the terrifying lightning, the blazing white spear, or the slash of the "Black Knight", none of them could hit the target at this moment. Cattleya seemed to be standing at the core of the storm, and no matter how dangerous the surroundings were, she was not affected.
Those attacks, those controls, either passed through her or were offset by her "companions", all failed to achieve the desired effect, and even helped her weaken the confinement of "darkness".
A moment later, Cattleya's back slightly arched, and white, illusory feathers grew out of her. These feathers did not belong to an angel, but came from a "swan".
The "ugly duckling" turned into a "swan".
As for what a "swan" is, for a Sequence 4 demigod, the answer is obvious: it is an incomplete form of a mythical creature.
And the "ugly duckling" can also become a "swan"!
This is a powerful magic that allows the "occultist" to reveal an incomplete form of a mythical creature, once a day, for ten seconds each time.
Cattleya's body surface suddenly cracked into cracks one after another, and the flesh and blood inside condensed to form clear black and white eyeballs.
These countless eyeballs glanced around indifferently and ruthlessly, as if they were the embodiment of vast and complex knowledge, so much so that the figures carrying them were blurred into a more abstract black mass of a higher dimension.
Upon seeing these densely packed eyeballs, "Secret Saint" Butis and "Dark Saint" Xesma felt dizzy, and a storm of knowledge arose in their minds.
The layer of flesh and blood that covered the entire room began to tremble slightly, and either dripped down or squirmed in a disorderly manner.
At this moment, an unimaginable breath penetrated the barrier of flesh and blood, poured into the first floor of the abandoned apartment, and instantly enveloped every corner here.
"The Secret Saint" Butis and "The Dark Saint" Xesma were both shocked at the same time, and their bodies, minds and spirits were in a state that was difficult to control.
This is the qualitative change of "Dragon Power", this is "mind deprivation"!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the "black mass" covered with cracks and eyes condensed a spear in front of it.
This spear was of ancient style, and from the tip to the handle it was stained with patches and dots of dark blood-red.
It exuded a strong smell of destruction and a bloody feeling, as if it had once hurt some great being.
With a whoosh, the terrifying spear shot out and headed straight for the "Secret Saint" Butis who was standing stiffly in place.
In the entire room, all the sounds and details disappeared, even the pervasive "dragon power" disappeared abruptly, leaving only the blood-stained gun tip and Butis's body, as well as the shrinking distance between them.
"The Spear of Longinus"!
