Chapter 143: Puppeteer's Secret Art · Puppet Theater

"Not enough, send in another twenty slaves!"

"Very well, the witch's frenzy is complete!"

"Prepare to kill..."

"..."

Su'en heard clearly that the Oliver family wanted to make the "Sorrowful Witch" go berserk by sending in a group of slaves.

When a witch is in a dream-killing state, they also need to be distracted. By sending in more people at once, overloading the witch, she is forced to enter a second stage of frenzy in order to kill more people.

Unfortunately, Su'en was supposed to be the "fertilizer" to induce the witch's frenzy.

But now, he woke up.

He also knew very well that if the Oliver family killed the witch and broke the curse space, how would they handle these living witnesses?

Previously, there was only Bloom, the leader of the "Sharp Blade Squad," a second-tier professional. Su'en had confidence in both fighting and escaping.

But now there were five second-tier professionals right in front of him, as well as two first-tier troublesome control warlocks. Under normal circumstances, if they were discovered, these people would surround him and Su'en wouldn't even have a chance to escape.

Moreover, besides these seven, there must be more enemies in the curse space.

Although Su'en seemed unharmed for the time being, the situation was already very critical.

But it wasn't all bad news.

The good news was that Su'en was currently outside the monastery in the mist, and the people who were trying to kill the witch had not yet realized that he had woken up.

In the dense fog around him, he could faintly see some figures standing there dumbly. These were all "fertilizer." In the split second that he glanced over, several figures disappeared, probably killed in the dream and then expelled from the curse space.

Seeing this, Su'en instantly knew what he had to do.

...

The silver-haired nun, who was originally over five meters tall, was already oppressive enough. Now that she had entered a frenzy state, her body was emitting billowing blood, making it impossible for people to look directly at her.

Her silver hair fluttered in the wind, like sharp blades. With a light and airy sweep, her hair easily cut through the original stone pillars of the monastery.

The scattered hair turned into needles, piercing the hard floor like raindrops;

When gathered together, it became a weapon that could strike heavily.

And because she had entered a frenzy state, the silver hair was no longer limited in quantity or length. For a while, the entire monastery seemed to be woven into a cage by the silver hair, trapping the seven people inside.

Seeing this, Su'en narrowed his eyes slightly.

He knew that this was also the purpose of these people, to stimulate the witch to enter the second tier and obtain this silver hair that could infinitely extend.

But he knew that it was not yet time to make a move.

The monster was unharmed, and the seven people in the field were obviously not completely restrained.

After all, they came prepared, and even in the face of a lord-level anomaly, they were not at a disadvantage.

The "Mechanical Tyrannosaurus" Toynby of the Steam Party, who had transformed into a humanoid tyrannosaurus, entangled a large amount of hair with his heavily armed mechanical limbs;

Bloom, the leader of the Sharp Blade Squad, swung his wind-element dual swords like a windmill, clashing with the "Sharp Spears" formed by the silver hair, causing sparks to fly.

And the executive of the Crow Gang, Langfero, was even more sinister with his curse magic. The green hexagram under his feet emitted a bright light, and he held a crow with feathers in his hand, biting off the crow's head and making a bone-cracking chewing sound. After this sound rang out, the witch trembled all over, as if her own bones were being gnawed on...

Even Su'en, who was not far away, felt his scalp tingle when he heard this terrifying sound.

However, the most exaggerated one was Lloyd, the "Magician" who was the main attacker.

Su'en was seeing a puppeteer's battle for the first time.

...

Seeing that the witch had completely entered the second stage of frenzy, Lloyd shouted, "Get ready, I'll control it, you guys attack according to the plan!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly formed a set of warlock seals with his hands, his gaze like a torch. "Evolutionary Armor Unleash!"

As the evolutionary armor was unleashed, the body of this puppet master immediately underwent a transformation.

The feeling he gave was that he suddenly lost all vitality, as if he was no longer a living person, but a puppet.

Even more bizarrely, the exposed skin on his body burst open. It was as if the skin of a black yarn doll had been cut open, and the black thread and fluff inside were exposed to the air.

And when he finished the last seal with his hand, the "threads" inside the doll's body suddenly swelled up like crazy...

After Lloyd released the evolutionary armor, he hardly paused and formed seals again, chanting in his mouth.

What he displayed was his famous secret technique - [Puppeteer's Secret Art Puppet Theater].A set of thirty-six mysterious magician seals made people dizzy. As soon as he finished arranging the magician seals, a huge blue hexagram alchemy array covering the entire monastery suddenly lit up in the sky. After the light appeared, a huge cross-shaped shadow slowly condensed into a solid form from the alchemy array.

At the same time, it seemed to be in response to the black threads on his body. Countless black threads also descended from the sky, extending in the wind...

As these black threads fell, the puppets that had been arranged around Lloyd in the monastery stood up with a "crackling" sound.

In an instant, it seemed like the entire monastery had become a large puppet theater, with everything connected by the black threads.

A pair of hidden hands behind the scenes controlled everything.

Moreover, the purpose of the black threads was not just to control the puppets, but also to "control"!

The black threads falling from the cross in the sky continued to invade, gradually engulfing the silver world like a black tide.

Although the number was not as many as the silver hair of the witch, the momentum was equally strong.

The puppets controlled by the black threads rushed towards the witch, but in an instant, they were firmly controlled by the silver threads, wrapped into a ball.

But this was exactly what Lloyd wanted.

The two types of threads intertwined and the black threads gradually entangled completely with the silver hair, like a tangled mess, becoming tighter and tighter.

More than ten puppets, like more than ten nails, firmly pinned the witch in place, making it more and more difficult for her to move.

Even if the silver hair could avoid the black threads by elementalization, the witch could not retreat. She could only be entangled more and more. Once she gave up defense, her body would immediately be entwined by these black threads.

The threads of both sides were entangled together, like a group of entwined snakes, making people's scalp tingle.

Lloyd's control objective was gradually being achieved.

.......

"These black threads are actually 'Tismoxing Iron Wire Worms'?"

Su'en identified the black threads and found that they were not inanimate objects, but living creatures!

This was a kind of iron-eating parasitic worm discovered and named by an ancient alchemist named "Tismoxing". It had an extraordinary tensile body that could stretch up to a hundred meters. It was exceptionally tough because it fed on metal, making it difficult to be harmed by swords and knives.

Just these two characteristics alone made it an excellent thread material for puppet masters.

Seeing this scene, Su'en suddenly felt that his perspective was too narrow...

He originally thought that the threads used by puppet masters were all inanimate objects, but it turned out that they could be manipulated like this.

This "magician" actually used his own body as a host and raised so many living parasitic worms...

But watching this scene, Su'en also became interested and muttered to himself, "Controlling with threads, it turns out that puppet masters can use threads like this. But on the other hand, that guy can actually produce so many threads at the same time. Is it because of his secret technique or his equipment..."

This was much more advanced than Su'en's mechanical gloves. No matter how exquisite the design of the mechanical gloves was, they could only pull out a dozen steel wires at most at the same time.

But this "magician" Lloyd was covered in black threads from head to toe, and the quantity was not even in the same league.

However, the quantity was enough. After all, the iron wire worms were still bound by the "physical threads". Being entangled and cut off like this was a disadvantage.

But what if it was the witch's hair that could transform between substance and non-substance?

Thinking of this, Su'en suddenly became excited.

He finally understood why Oliver, the young master of the Oliver family, was so interested in this witch...

.......

The hair and the black threads intertwined, and the tall blood-stained nun was completely controlled on the spot.

The black and silver threads pulled against each other, and the buildings they passed by were all cut into pieces.

Facing the already Lord-level anomaly, the "magician" Lloyd was obviously struggling in the direct confrontation. After a moment of stalemate, he spewed out a mouthful of blood.

But at the same time, he also shouted, "Attack!"

Upon hearing this, the other second-tier professionals also began to form seals, seemingly preparing to unleash a powerful move...

However, they did not expect that almost at the same time, when Su'en heard these words, he also took action.

His scattered gaze suddenly focused, sharp as a knife.

At the critical moment when the few of them were about to attack and kill the witch, Su'en raised his gun without hesitation, aiming at the head of the blue-robed female magician who was casting the "Slow Light" spell.

But how keen were the perceptions of second-tier professionals?

Among the five second-tier professionals present, except for the "Mechanical Tyrannosaurus" Toinbi, who was slightly slower in reaction, the other four instantly sensed something abnormal.

Seeing someone raising a gun from the mist outside the monastery, the four of them simultaneously had a thought in their minds: "Someone is launching a surprise attack!"

Although they were shocked that someone had awakened from the dream, they also instantly responded.

Just as Su'en raised his gun, the leader of the Blade Battalion, Bloom, stomped his foot fiercely, his figure moved several meters horizontally, instantly blocking in front of the blue-robed female magician.How could they not know that this was a critical moment in the witch hunt, where no mistakes could be tolerated? If the "Slow Light" spell was terminated and the witch regained her normal speed, their situation would become extremely dangerous!

Seeing that the attacker was armed with a musket, Blum breathed a sigh of relief.

If it was just a musket, he was confident that he could deflect it with his sword. With him standing in front, no matter how precise the shot, it wouldn't harm anyone!

"Tsk tsk... Close combat professionals indeed have quick reactions."

Seeing this, Su'en, who seemed to have anticipated it, smirked and fired without hesitation.

At the same time as he pulled the trigger with his right hand, his left hand fiercely clawed at the air, controlling the invisible zombie beside him to slash down!

"Bang!"

The unique explosion of the alchemical bullet echoed throughout the entire monastery.

Flames spurted from the muzzle, and the noise of the bullet firing masked the sound of the scythe cutting through the air.

Blum also keenly caught Su'en's "little movement" with his left hand.

But even so, he didn't choose to dodge, but to block.

Because he knew that if he dodged, the mage behind him would definitely be shot.

Besides, it was just a gunman, even if he was a "Master of Firearms", this shot wouldn't kill him.

As long as he could withstand this shot, once the others reacted, it would be the gunman's end!

However, he didn't realize that he was facing Su'en, the "S-Class Wanted Criminal" on the bounty list of Old Lingdun City, nor did he know that Su'en had the powerful weapon, "The Black Scythe of Hypnos"!

Blum could block the alchemical bullet, but he was not qualified to block the spatial rift.

The moment the gun was fired, the sound of the bullet cutting through the air attracted everyone's attention, but they didn't notice that a dark spatial rift quietly appeared on Blum's forehead the next second.

Even though he used his weapon to protect his head, the scythe ruthlessly cut through his famous double-edged sword.

The spatial rift didn't stop there, it cut off half of Blum's head before disappearing.

Just at this moment, a bullet passed through the crack in the head that had been split in half...

The blue-robed female mage, who was continuously casting spells with both hands and had no time to react, looked in astonishment as the man's head in front of her was suddenly split in half, and then... a bullet grew larger and larger in her field of vision, hitting her eye socket precisely, and the world plunged into darkness.

"Bang~"

With a sound of explosion, the blue-robed mage's head burst into a cloud of blood, and she fell to the ground with a thud.
