In the living room, Bennett, who was just about to summon his teacher's messenger, suddenly narrowed his eyes: "Enemy attack!"
He had just put on his coat when Hobert, wearing a black crystal mask, stepped out of the spirit world. In an instant, the entire living room became extremely cold and terrifying.
The bronze door with intricate patterns appeared again. Bennett frantically dodged Hobert's black knife. The appearance of the bronze door made his wound ache unbearably, and he didn't even have the strength to hold his sword.
The suction of the bronze door appeared again, as if drawing Bennett's strength and warmth.
Bennett struggled to raise his hand and pointed it at Hobert: "Banish!"
Hobert pointed the ring at Bennett: "Trade!"
Even without using the ring's ability, he could sense Bennett's desire for him to leave. So, after the huge thrust of "Banish" appeared, Hobert "Blinked." In doing so, Hobert fulfilled Bennett's desire to "Banish" him.
As a "Trade," Hobert avoided the fate of being "Banished."
[T/N: I'm not sure what this ability is lol, might be fanmade ability]
A man who had just rushed into the living room was immediately "Banished" out of the living room, out of the entire townhouse. When he came to his senses, he found that he had been pushed out of the real world.
He didn't have a sealed artifact with the ability to "Travel" like Bennett. With his strength, he might be permanently banished outside the real world until the end of his life.
Back in the living room, Hobert couldn't help but sigh: Sure enough, you can't make deals with devils!
In Hobert's mind, devils always used their treachery and cunning, using people's desires to make deals, and always completed the transaction in an unacceptable way. When the transaction was completed, people realized that their souls had been unknowingly sold to the devil.
This ability is actually more useful in daily life, and can be more effective when the target agrees to the transaction!
At this time, Hobert had been pushed away a distance by "Banish". He simply abandoned Bennett as a target for the time being, and faced the door of the living room: "Holy Light!"
Three members of the Tamara family who had heard Bennett's voice came to support him. At this time, the doorway was a bit crowded, and as a result, the two people in front were hit head-on by the "Holy Light."
Although they also used their respective abilities to block the huge beam of light, their clothes were still ignited. After being baptized by the "Holy Light," they were also in a dazed state for the next three or four seconds, and would only rely on instinct to avoid enemy attacks.
Hobert didn't continue to pay attention to the direction of the door. He used "Blink" to reappear in front of Bennett: "Lightning Strike!"
Bennett, who was already sweating profusely and becoming increasingly weak, had just "Deprived" some of the abilities of the "Underworld Gate". After the lightning appeared above his head, he immediately "Imprisoned" the lightning.
Because of the blessing of the sealed artifact on his hand, his "Imprisonment" effect was very good. Only a small part of the lightning fell on him, causing only a very brief paralysis effect.
The space in front of Bennett became illusory again. He was preparing to use "Travel" to find his teacher.
Hobert quickly "Distorted" the opponent's thought of "Escape immediately now" into the thought of "Escape immediately with all subordinates now."
At this time, Bennett's condition was already very bad, and he was almost helplessly affected by Hobert's "Distortion", running towards his subordinates.
Thus, the illusory space became normal.
Hobert chased after him, ending the summoning of the "Underworld Gate."
Bennett's subordinates were relatively elite. The first to arrive were two Sequence 6s and one Sequence 7. After they were hit head-on by Hobert, they did not continue to attack Hobert, but instead worked together to smash open a wall, making it easier for the people behind to support them and also making it easier for them to escape.
Because their captain Bennett had the ability to "Travel," they didn't consider a retreat route for their captain at all.
The second batch of subordinates who came to support were also a Sequence 6 and a Sequence 7. They were a little surprised to see their captain running towards them.
But they still used "Whip" and "Bribe" towards Hobert in a very disciplined manner.
Hobert, who was chasing over, felt that he had brewed enough, and stretched out his hand towards the front: "Outburst!"
Just as he expected, he felt his spirituality rushing towards "1-106" like a dam releasing a flood.
Then, in front of him, a lava pit with a diameter of ten meters appeared, encompassing Bennett and his five subordinates.
In the six people's faces of surprise, they stepped on empty air and fell downwards.
The walls of the attached villa also collapsed and began to fall into the lava. Bricks and wooden structures fell in, either sinking quickly or burning and sinking slowly.
Bennett seemed to suddenly come back to his senses. The space in front of him became illusory again, preparing to escape.
Hobert, who was being whipped by an illusory whip, had plenty of time to respond: "Disorder!"
Bennett, who was in bad shape, was once again affected by "Disorder". He felt that the lava below was warm and nice, just enough to dispel the chill on his body.
However, his instinct for survival still made him "Imprison" himself, allowing a layer of amber-like film to wrap around his entire body, thus avoiding the fate of being burned by the lava.
The others fell into the lava, and their feet and calves were immediately ignited and severely burned, making painful wails.
Only two Sequence 6s reacted quickly. An amber-colored film immediately appeared under the feet of one Sequence 6. This was obviously a "Judge". He "Imprisoned" a part of the lava, and used the imprisoned film to jump violently out of the lava pool.
Unfortunately, Hobert, who was still being whipped, had already noticed his actions. He quickly rushed over and kicked the "Judge" back into the lava pool.
The "Judge" fell into the lava and was quickly swallowed by the lava amidst a shrill scream.
Another Sequence 6 was a "Baron of Corruption", who "Distorted" the thoughts of a Sequence 7 next to him, causing the Sequence 7 to punch him heavily. At the same time, he pushed out with both hands, and using the power of his companion's fist, he rolled out of the lava pit in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
And that Sequence 7 was completely pushed down by him, and his whole body was quickly swallowed by the lava.
At this time, the "Whip" of the invisible whip on Hobert had ended. Even if he had the physique of Sequence 5, he was still whipped until his skin was torn.
Hobert endured the pain coming from his back and faced the "Baron of Corruption" who had rolled to the ground: "Lightning Strike!"
This "Baron of Corruption" didn't have a sealed artifact like Bennett. Although he "Distorted" the "Lightning Strike" a bit, most of the "Lightning Strike" fell on him.
Lightning bolts as thick as fingers jumped around him, and while he was injured by the lightning, he fell into a brief state of paralysis.
Hobert "Flashed" over and killed the "Baron of Corruption".
At this time, Bennett came back to his senses again, and the space in front of him became illusory again.
"Amplify!" Hobert raised the scepter in his hand, seizing the opportunity to amplify Bennett's injuries.
The timing he chose was just right. The injuries caused by the black knife were at a critical moment of becoming more serious, and as a result, they were immediately "Amplified", causing Bennett to become stiff and tremble, and the process of stepping into the spirit world was like slow motion.
Hobert smiled slightly. Just as he was about to use "Disorder" again, he saw a bundle of firewood flying towards Bennett, with the intention of smashing him into the spirit world.
"Distorton!" Hobert quickly twisted the direction of the firewood, causing the firewood to fall into the lava.
Hobert rushed into the lava pool while looking at the direction from which the firewood flew.
It turned out to be Bennett's last two subordinates. Just now, Bennett said he was cold, and they went out to get some firewood. How did the original living room become a lava pit?
Hobert was wearing "1-106" on his hand, and the lava only patted him like some warm water.
Bennett felt a huge threat, but his body was becoming more and more stiff. The action of entering the spirit world before had now become very difficult. The entrance to the spirit world was right in front of him, but he still couldn't take that step.
At this time, the difference between magical items and one's own abilities was revealed. If he was a "Traveler," he could now actively integrate into the spirit world and escape.
Beyonders of other pathways must take the initiative to take a step to enter the spirit world when using magical items with "Travel."
Hobert, who had relevant experience, knew this, so he was able to prevent Bennett's escape at critical moments.
At this time, Hobert rushed over and knocked Bennett away from the entrance to the spirit world, interrupting Bennett's "Travel" again.
Seeing that Bennett was about to enter the lava, a dawn-like radiance suddenly appeared on his body. This was entering the "Retribution" state. The dawn-like light protected him from being burned by the lava.
However, the "Retribution" state couldn't last long, and Bennett was convulsing at this time, and could hardly use any active abilities.
Hobert came over as if wading through water and directly pierced Bennett's head with a knife.
Although the "Retribution state" would increase Bennett's defense, it did not have the effect of "Dawn Armor".
Bennett's legs kicked straight, but he was not dead yet.
The dawn light around him quickly dimmed, as if representing his life was rapidly fading.
Bennett's last two subordinates, seeing this situation, immediately stopped their rescue efforts and turned around and ran!
"Corrosion!" Hobert used his area skill. The two Sequence 8s were immediately affected by "Corrosion". One went to the safe, wanting to take away all the wealth when leaving, and the other ran to the "Baron of Corruption" who had been struck by lightning, hoping to pick up his Beyonder characteristics.
Hobert turned back and stabbed Bennett in the heart with a knife. The "Disciplinary Knight" hummed a few times in pain, and finally died in the lava pool.
Hobert jumped out of the lava pool and solved the two Sequence 8s one after another.
And the others had either sunk into the lava or been burned to death.
Bennett, who was about to sink into the lava pool, suddenly moved again, splashing lava forward like swimming. When he finally climbed to the shore of the lava pool, his entire body had been scorched.
After landing, Bennett, who still had flames on his body, lay motionless on the ground.
Hobert used the "Spirit Wine Glass" to control Bennett's corpse to climb up.
Hobert first took off the black gloves on Bennett's hand, and then found a necklace inlaid with beautiful gems on his neck.
These two items did not deform at all in the hot lava, and must be sealed artifacts on Bennett's body.
Then Hobert used the "Spirit Wine Glass" to speed up the process of the surrounding corpses condensing Beyonder characteristics. When the Beyonder characteristics held by the corpses in the lava pool "floated out", Hobert picked them up one by one, and also obtained a sealed artifact.
Tonight was a great harvest, 8 Beyonder characteristics, 3 sealed artifacts, and one of them was a Level 1 sealed artifact.
Bennett's team was obviously more elite than the team killed on Rose Street before.
Hobert guessed that they might all be direct descendants of the family, but the level of Bennett's team was higher.
Coming to Bennett's corpse, Hobert began to communicate with spirits. After entering the gray spirit communication space, Hobert's first question was: "Why did you try to assassinate me?"
"..."
After asking seven times, in the rolling gray fog, Hobert saw Bennett reading the newspaper. When he saw the reward of 10,000 pounds for Hobert, he smiled and cut down the report and clipped it into a book at hand.
Hobert breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know his true identity, but only attempted to assassinate him for the reward.
Then Hobert thought: Then my counter-kill this time is equal to an uninvited confession, which can easily allow the Tamara family to associate the "assassination of Hobert" with the annihilation of this team.
Otherwise, leave a sentence on the wall to divert their attention?
But what should I leave? If I can't divert the other party's attention, it will be another operation of "I have no silver buried here".
Hobert temporarily didn't consider this question, but asked again: "Did you ask your elders or superiors for help?"
"..."
After chanting seven times silently, Hobert saw the scene of Bennett writing a letter to his teacher. Fortunately, it had not been sent out yet.
Hobert breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was decisive when making decisions. If he was one step late, he might have run into the other party's teacher.
Then Hobert asked the third question: "Does your teacher know about your assassination attempt of me?"
In the rolling gray fog, Hobert saw the process of Bennett writing a letter to his teacher again, but he was only asking about Hobert's recent information and revealed his idea of earning this reward.
Hobert took a deep breath: That is to say, he probably knows that he wants to assassinate me, but he doesn't know the details.
Hobert did not continue to ask about the location of the Tamara family's hiding place, but cautiously withdrew from the spirit communication, found the distress letter and burned it, and threw the corpses into the lava, thinking about how to deal with the aftermath.
At this time, he glanced at the yard that had collapsed into a lava pool, and suddenly felt that he didn't need to do anything, because even if he left any clues to attract the other party's attention, they would be taken away by the official Beyonder first.
Unless the people of the Tamara family arrive before the official Beyonder, which is obviously unlikely. The surrounding people should have already called the police, and the patrol police will soon discover this lava pool and quickly report it to the official Beyonder.
However, Hobert was still a bit uneasy, so he jumped onto the roof, located the church, and used "Travel" to take a look. It turned out to be the Church of Storms.
Hobert cleared his throat, took a deep breath, and said, "The Punishers are a bunch of good-for-nothings, a bunch of cowards, a bunch of..."
A "Lightning Strike" interrupted Hobert's insults. Hobert quickly ran towards the scene, with the grumbling "Punishers" chasing closely behind, arriving at the scene even before the patrol officers.
