Chapter 161 Odysseus's New Weapons and New Magic
Chapter 161 Odysseus's New Weapons and New Magic
Because of yesterday's rehearsal, the three of them took turns on duty on Thursday night tacitly.
At around eleven o'clock in the evening, when Fors was still on duty, her spirit suddenly sensed a dangerous aura coming from outside, so she threw the cup of water on the ground as agreed before.
Bang~
The sudden sound made Odysseus jump up from the bed immediately, and he observed the movement outside at the bedroom door.
Xio also woke up immediately and grabbed the backpack containing the weapons.
Fors quickly came to the bedroom and looked at the scene outside with wide eyes.
One second, two seconds, three seconds... About half a minute passed, and still no danger was found.
Just when Fors was wondering if his inspiration was wrong, Odysseus reminded him quietly, "Don't relax. The moment you relax, you are most likely to be exploited by the enemy!"
Fors and Xio took a deep breath almost at the same time and continued to remain alert.
Bang!
Suddenly, the gas lamp became brighter, burning with a billowing flame that burned the lampshade.
The next second, because the lamp was burned out, the flame of the gas lamp quickly dimmed, and finally all light sources were lost in the room.
Odysseus whispered, "Get ready."
Xio and Fors immediately found the location of the magic circle, ready to inject spirituality into it at any time.
Crash~
Almost in the next second, the window and the door were broken at the same time, and several figures rushed in from these two places.
Odysseus immediately said, "Run!"
He also came to the back wall of the bedroom to infuse spirituality.
This magic circle is called the "Door-Transforming Magic Circle", which can transform the area covered by the magic circle into a wooden door.
This is a magic circle created by Odysseus. Although it is not as convenient as the "opening the door" of "Apprentice", it is very practical.
In a moment of infusion of spirituality, the masonry wall becomes a wooden door.
While the few people who broke in were still observing the surrounding situation and moving forward tentatively, Odysseus immediately opened the door and rushed to the street behind.
Xio and Fors had already come out, one using the ability to "open the door" and the other using a magic circle.
After the three people met up, they immediately ran west according to the plan.
Behind them, without the spiritual support, the wooden door turned back into a wall.
The people in the room were stunned. They hadn't figured out what was going on. How could the target just disappear?
The enemies waiting outside didn't react for a while. They were mainly paying attention to the two small windows, but no one escaped from the windows. Instead, someone escaped from the wall.
It wasn't until a flock of fire crows appeared and lit up the street behind that everyone realized that their target had escaped.
Odysseus took advantage of the enemy's habitual thinking. Generally speaking, when facing an enemy that suddenly breaks in, they will fight back. When they find that they cannot defeat the enemy, they will escape through the back door or rear window.
But Odysseus's tactic was to simply run away without any resistance.
This not only catches people off guard, but also shows weakness.
The Beyonder who summoned the "Fire Crow" was the "arsonist" who had chased Odysseus and Xio before. When he saw Odysseus, he immediately said, "Chase!"
I didn't expect that this guy is with Xio. This is perfect. I can get my revenge all at once!
The operation was commanded by the "arsonist", and he was also assigned a "psychic" as his assistant.
According to the intelligence they obtained, the target this time was a Sequence 9, and she seemed to have a Sequence 9 companion.
But they still dispatched two Sequence 7s because they knew that there would be ambushes from MI9 around them, and they dispatched so many people in order to prepare for a possible breakout.
The Arsonist led four of his Low Sequence subordinates and immediately chased after him, while the Psychic directed the four subordinates who had previously broken into the room to follow closely.
As the enemy got closer and closer, Odysseus suddenly said to Fors: "Go!"
As planned, Fors ran to the wall on one side and used the ability to "open the door" to enter the room.
The "Arsonist" ignored Fors because this person was not among their targets. They mainly wanted to kill Hugh and Odysseus.
Moreover, in the eyes of the "Arsonist", this task was not difficult to complete. After all, these were just a Sequence 8 and a Sequence 9, two "low-sequence" enemies.
All you have to do is guard against the opponent's powerful disposable super weapons.
They were only a few steps away from using their extraordinary abilities to attack each other, and at this moment, they entered the park.
Odysseus reached into his backpack, took out a silver axe, and threw it behind him.
The "arsonist" had suffered from the "fire bomb" and was very cautious about attacks with axes. He quickly threw out a "fireball" and shouted, "Scatter!"
But the axe did not explode this time. It was as if it was an ordinary axe. After being ignited by the "fireball", it flew towards the pursuers under the action of inertia.
The spirit of the "arsonist" once again sensed a very dangerous aura, and he suddenly jumped into the bushes of the park.
Sizzle~
At this moment, the ignited silver-white axe emitted a silver-white light, which quickly spread and penetrated into the ground.
The light expanded, forming a continuously flickering semicircular arc. The arc instantly expanded to about five meters, accommodating all people and objects within the range.
The four subordinates of the "arsonist" dodged one after another, but two of them failed to dodge in time and were hit by the electric arc, and sparks immediately flashed on their bodies.
They were trembling all over, drooling, and screaming "Ahhhh" from the electric shock.
Odysseus suddenly stopped running, put his hands into his pockets, grabbed two handfuls of green powder, and threw them out at the same time.
The powder immediately reacted with the power of nature, causing an evil wind to blow. The surrounding plants began to shake violently and quickly became thinner and shorter.
At the same time, wooden thorns appeared in the air one after another, and soon there were hundreds of them.
Odysseus then made a forward push gesture, and the wooden spikes flew out suddenly and stabbed the pursuers.
This is a powerful new witchcraft invented by Odysseus. These wooden spikes make whistling sounds and pierce the enemy like javelins.
The two pursuers, who were trembling all over due to the electric shock, had no time to dodge and were immediately pierced by several wooden spikes. They were nailed to the ground and died on the spot.
The other two "Low Sequence" Beyonders were also stabbed by the wooden thorns, but they both avoided the fatal parts.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang~
At this time, Xio opened fire and fired all his bullets in a row. One "low-sequence" enemy was killed and another enemy was seriously injured.
Hugh's last two bullets were aimed at the "arsonist".
The "Arsonist" summoned the "Fire Crow" again, which burned some of the wooden spikes and changed the direction of some of the wooden spikes, so the "Arsonist" was not injured and nimbly dodged Xio's gunshot with his hand.
Although Odysseus and Hugh gained the advantage in an instant, they took advantage of this opportunity to turn around and continue to escape, because the "psychic" behind them was catching up with them.
The Arsonist reminded: "That man got promoted!"
Otherwise, a Sequence 8 could not have such a powerful Beyonder Ability. They led the team to continue the pursuit. In their opinion, they had two Sequence 7s and the enemy was no match for them.
At this time, Odysseus had already fled to the edge of the artificial lake in the park with Hugh. He sprinkled a handful of silver powder and flew across the lake with Hugh.
As he flew over the lake, Odysseus immediately realized that this was an excellent place for a battle.
This lake is not very big, but it exceeds the attack range of Sequence 7 Beyonder Abilities.
This means that the pursuers on the other side of the lake could not attack Odysseus and Hugh, so they could go around the lake and deal with their opponents.
If the opponents surround them separately, then Odysseus and Hugh can try to defeat them one by one.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The "arsonists" behind also discovered this, so they did not continue to chase, but discussed countermeasures on the other side of the lake.
However, the "psychic" would not let Xio and Odysseus sit idle. As soon as he raised his hand, several hands, some of which were only bones or covered with rotten flesh, immediately stretched out from the lake.
They swam quickly to the shore, revealing their rotten bodies, and roared like monsters at Odysseus and Xio.
Those are some water ghosts!
Odysseus immediately threw out a handful of black powder. As he chanted the spell, the powder burned in the air, emitting golden light and spreading around.
When these rays of light hit the water ghosts, green smoke came out of their bodies and they let out a shrill hiss again, while pieces of rotten flesh or bones were evaporated one by one.
Bang, bang, bang~
At this time, Xio had finished reloading and fired a few shots at the water ghosts. Several water ghosts fell on the shore, with bones and rotten flesh scattered all over the ground.
At this time, the lake water seemed to be boiled suddenly and began to gurgle.
Skeletons emerged from inside and floated on the water, forming a narrow floating bridge.
The "arsonist" stepped on the "floating bridge" and rushed towards this side first, and the other extraordinary people followed closely.
Odysseus did not attack immediately, but waited until they rushed to the center of the lake, then suddenly threw out a silver-white axe. At his signal, Xio also threw out one.
The "arsonist" knew the power of the axe, so he immediately summoned a "fireball" to smash the axe in half.
The axe that Xio threw did not fall into the water. A skeleton bird flew over and grabbed the axe.
Odysseus put his hands into his waist pockets again and sprinkled out two handfuls of transparent powder.
The powders spread out in the water, instantly forming two "water walls" that shot towards the "arsonists" and their men.
The "arsonist" bent down and summoned two "walls of fire" to block the "wall of water".
With a "bang", the "water wall" and the "fire wall" collided, stirring up waves of fog.
But the attack of the "water wall" did not end there, because in addition to the "water wall" on the water surface, there was also an undercurrent underwater, which caused the skeletons building the "floating bridge" to sway back and forth, and even scattered several skeletons.
The "arsonists" were unable to stand steadily and began to sway from side to side.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Odysseus reached into his backpack and took out another red axe. He quickly walked to the shore and threw the axe directly into the water.
Boom~
The "fire bomb" exploded in the water. The impact of the explosion completely destroyed the "floating bridge" built by the skeletons, and several pursuers fell into the water one after another.
Because the explosion occurred in water, the arsonist had no way to control the flames produced by the explosion.
Odysseus sprinkled a handful of black powder, and suddenly two invisible giant hands appeared. One hand slapped the skeleton bird in the air into the water, and the other threw the silver-white axe that had been smashed by the "fireball" into the water.
The two axes released arcs of electricity one after another, and the entire surface of the lake was illuminated by the electric light.
However, at the moment the axe fell into the water, a huge ghost appeared in the air and pulled the "psychic" and "arsonist" out of the water.
But the "psychics" were only able to pull out two people; their subordinates were not so lucky and were electrocuted to death in the lake.
Odysseus and Hugh's counterattack began. He sprinkled a handful of silver powder again, grabbed Hugh with one hand, and the two flew to the lake together.
Then Odysseus sprinkled a handful of transparent powder, and two streams of water like tentacles immediately appeared in the water, entangled the legs of the "arsonist" and the "psychic", and slowly pulled them into the water.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang~
At the same time, Xio also fired continuously, using up all his bullets, and hit the "Arsonist" and the "Psychic" one after another. The two Sequence 7s were injured one after another.
Odysseus was about to pursue the victory, but suddenly his spirit sensed a huge threat, and he quickly flew to the shore with Xiu.
Boom~
A "fireball" flew and hit the water, making an explosion sound. Odysseus's "flying technique" was disturbed by the explosion, and he and Hugh fell to the shore in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
At the same time, the two "water tentacles" summoned by Odysseus just now were also blown into splashes of water. The "arsonist" and the "psychic" finally gained their freedom and were thrown to the shore by the ghosts in the air.
Although their bodies and spirits were injured, they were able to get up and continue fighting for the time being.
At this time, Odysseus and Hugh saw a ball of fire flying over. The ball of fire suddenly grew larger not far away, and a figure with its face covered emerged from it.
Odysseus immediately called out to Xio to run away. Xio was a Sequence 6 "Conspirator" whose ability to manipulate fire had been further enhanced, and he could use fire to move around at will.
This "conspirator" did not actively attack Odysseus and Hugh, but waved at the "arsonist" and they chose to retreat.
While Odysseus and the others were not paying attention to this side, the "psychic" summoned the water ghosts again to fish his subordinates out of the water, and let the water ghosts carry them and retreat together.
At this moment, the park suddenly became brighter. Several flares were launched into the air at the same time, illuminating the park as if it were daytime.
"MI9" finally took action, with the "conspirator" leading the way, ready to break through with all his might.
Upon seeing this, Odysseus immediately turned back and sprinkled a handful of powder on Xio and his own legs. The two of them immediately ran at full speed and quickly caught up with the enemy.
Xio threw another silver-white axe given to him by the "leader" at the "arsonist", and the "arsonist" quickly dodged the electric arc that appeared on the axe.
But at the same time, Odysseus sprinkled a handful of iron-black powder, which immediately flew towards the "arsonist" like mosquitoes, and covered the "arsonist's" body surface, turning into a layer of rust-colored mucus.
(End of this chapterChapter 162 The Conspiracy of the Loen Royal Family
Chapter 162 The Conspiracy of the Loen Royal Family
Odysseus' counterattack caught the "arsonists" somewhat off guard.
If he had known that this guy was so bold as to charge back at a Sequence 6, he should have attacked him and injured two people.
But for the "arsonists", it is too late to fight on two fronts and they can only break out as soon as possible.
This gave Hugh and Odysseus an opportunity. With the help of the silver axe, Odysseus's "witchcraft" successfully hit the "arsonist", forming a layer of rust-colored mucus on his body surface.
The "arsonist" suddenly felt his joints stiff, and every movement became slow and laborious.
Whoosh~
He immediately summoned flames, burning his skin all over his body.
In addition to burning the clothes, it was also burning the mucus.
But Odysseus continued his attack. He sprinkled a handful of blue powder, and the air was suddenly filled with a cold gale, and even the flames summoned by the "Arsonist" became dim.
The icy wind eventually blew towards one of the arsonist's legs, freezing it and making it completely impossible for the arsonist to escape.
The "psychic" was still hesitating whether to come back to rescue, but after seeing the "arsonist" suffered a series of attacks, he quickly abandoned the "arsonist" and followed closely behind the "conspirator" to try to break through.
On the other side, Odysseus and Hugh caught up with the "arsonist". Hugh took out a blue axe and threw it at the "arsonist".
The "arsonist" quickly summoned the "blazing white spear" and nailed the axe in the distance.
The "ice and snow bomb" exploded, but the resulting ice did not affect the "arsonist".
Odysseus took advantage of this opportunity to quickly approach and sprinkled a handful of black powder. The powder instantly condensed in the air, forming seven small javelins that stabbed towards the "arsonist".
The "Arsonist" immediately summoned the "Fire Crow" to block it. After the "Fire Crow" touched the "Javelins", it immediately ignited those metallic javelins and blocked the momentum of the javelins.
But Odysseus behind him sprinkled a handful of powder again, and the seven javelins burning in flames seemed to have received a huge boost again, dragging flames and piercing in front of the "arsonist".
The "arsonist" quickly summoned a "wall of fire" to block it, but it was too late. All seven spears pierced his body, some hit his head, some hit his heart, and the other five also hit his chest and abdomen.
The "arsonist" grabbed the spears with his flaming hands and tried to pull them out of his body.
But his body could no longer support him and he fell to the ground.
When the "arsonist" began to twitch, the javelins turned into black powder again.
Odysseus pulled the Arsonist's hair and said, "Let's go and meet up with Fors first."
At this time, the "arsonist" was still burning with flames, but these flames could not harm the "arsonist's" body for the time being.
Gunshots were heard at the edge of the park, and the breakout of the "conspirators" and "psychics" began.
Odysseus had no intention of getting involved and would first take the spoils he had gained so far.
…
At the same time, in the outskirts of western Backlund.
Whoosh~
A ball of fire suddenly ignited in a sparsely populated forest, then the fire grew larger, and three figures walked out of the fire one after another.
The flames then disappeared and the surroundings became dark again.
The three men identified the direction and ran quickly towards a hill.
Suddenly, a female voice came from the front: "No fire is allowed here."
The three leaders walking in the front raised their hands, and suddenly, flames burned all around them.
However, these flames were affected by unknown reasons and the burning momentum was not very strong.
The leader clenched his fists and roared, and the flames on his body suddenly became more intense.
Huh~
A fire started in the surrounding woods as well. The flames seemed to be burning something, gradually becoming bigger and bigger, and finally the "prohibition" was "burned".
At this time, the female voice said again: "This is a forest area, the arsonist should be punished!"
Behind the leader whose body was burning with flames, a series of illusory whips with caltrops appeared and whipped the leader's back, instantly tearing his skin and flesh.
The leader seemed to be unaware of the pain. While being whipped, he laughed and said, "Georgina, when did your 'Law' become as weak as a tickle?
"Did we suddenly appear here and make you panic?"
After the whip, the wound on the leader's back was so deep that the bone was visible, but when a burst of fire passed, the leader's back was surprisingly intact.
Not far ahead, a female figure in an evening gown appeared. It was none other than the demigoddess of the Loen royal family, Georgina Augustus.
She smiled and said, "Chikov, don't you realize that you have been ambushed by us?"
The leader named Chikov smiled and said, "No, no, no, you have completely misunderstood the situation.
"Whether our actions were successful or not, it proves that there is something wrong with the hill ahead.
"Let me guess. There must be an important building hidden there that you secretly built, otherwise you wouldn't set an ambush here."
Chikov was one of the deputy directors of the "Berkoning Intelligence Bureau" of the Feysac Empire. Last month, the spy agency built by "Berkoning" in Backlund bought a piece of information that was not very expensive from an informant of the "Manufactured Punisher" as usual.
After this information was transmitted back to the General Administration, it immediately attracted the attention of the director.
It was not until a secret meeting that Chikov learned that the intelligence contained important information. The missing homeless man they had issued a mission to find in Backlund was secretly sent to the vicinity of this hill.
The director analyzed that there should be an important building secretly built by George III here, and there must be a big conspiracy brewing in the Kingdom of Loen.
So Chikov was sent to Backlund to confirm whether there was an important building near the hill.
After arriving in Backlund for some time, Chikov planned an attack on Hugh, using the attack to attract the attention of MI9. He then personally led people to investigate near the hill.
If their investigation goes well, they will be able to determine whether there is that important building here.
But if they were ambushed, it means there is definitely something wrong here, and the important building is most likely nearby.
Otherwise, the Kingdom of Loen might set up an ambush in the city and search the entire city for Chikov, but it would be impossible to set up an ambush in such a remote area.
In other words, if there was no problem with the hill, the Loen royal family did not know Chikov's goal and could not have ambushed here in advance.
Chikov was going to risk his own life to complete the mission.
Georgina, who was wearing an evening gown, suddenly laughed and said, "You can look for it as much as you want, because this is just an ordinary hill."
Chikov sneered: "Then may I ask, what are the demigods of the Loen royal family doing here on this 'ordinary hill' so late at night?"
"Of course I'm here to wait for you!" Georgina smiled and said, "When we learned that you were looking for someone from Backlund to investigate the missing homeless man, we understood your intentions."
The only purpose was to find out the approximate location of King George III's tomb based on the whereabouts of those homeless people.
Of course, the news about the mausoleum was so advanced that even Chikov didn't know what those "important buildings" represented.
"So we used the informant of the Mandated Punisher to release a piece of information." Georgina explained patiently, "We are waiting for you to verify it.
"When we learned that you were going to attack the MI9 informant named Hugh Dilcher, we guessed that your action was about to begin.
"So we waited for you here early, and then we eliminated you here.
"Then your superiors will think there must be something wrong with this hill.
"At the critical moment, they will attack this hill, and then they will find that there is nothing here.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"And we have taken advantage of this opportunity to complete our plan..."
The more Chikov listened, the more frightened he became. He never expected that all this was a trap set by the Loen people.
He realized that he had to break out and bring back the news.
Chikov didn't care about his two subordinates at this time. He immediately turned into a ball of fire and flew away at the fastest speed.
Georgina slowly put a crown made of thorns on her head, and then balls of pure light appeared from the crown, eventually converging into an "ocean of light".
A blazing white spear appeared in Georgina's hand. She threw it lightly, and the spear flew out at a much faster speed than Chikov, nailing the deputy director of "Bekoning", the "Iron Knight", to the ground.
Chikov shouted and tried to burn the blazing white spear with flames, but it was useless. The crown on Georgina's head was a level 0 sealed object in the possession of the Loen royal family.
The "Spear of No Darkness" thrown by Georgina is at the level of an angel, and as a Sequence 4 Chikov certainly cannot escape.
Bang~
As the "Gun of No Darkness" exploded, Chikov was also blown to pieces.
Georgina immediately stepped forward, raised her hands high, and made a gesture of embracing the sun. A huge beam of light descended, purifying the spirit of the "Iron Knight" amid Chikov's screams.
After five or six seconds, the spirit of this demigod shattered and completely disappeared from this world.
Afterwards, Georgina went to purify the spirits of Chikov's two subordinates, but she was still not at ease, so she eliminated all the natural spirits around her before taking off the crown on her head.
Several demigods of Loen left one after another, and the place became dark and quiet again. Then, an illusory figure emerged on the hill.
That was Bernadette who had been paying attention to this matter. She had many secret techniques to hide herself, and the demigods of the Loen royal family did not discover her.
She glanced from afar at the place that had just been burned by the intense light, raised her hand, and a pair of illusory wings appeared behind Bernadette and surrounded her.
In the blink of an eye, the wings dissipated and Bernadette disappeared.
…
Park near Tutva Street.
Odysseus and Hugh brought the body of the "arsonist" to the entrance of the park. Fors was holding a metal crossbow and killed the enemy who was injured by the wooden thorns and Hugh's pistol.
Odysseus placed the bodies of the "arsonist" and his four subordinates together, waiting for the extraordinary characteristics to emerge.
Several extraordinary characteristics began to emerge one after another. At this time, people from the "Military Intelligence Department 9" also came to search.
After they saw the extraordinary characteristics of the land and Odysseus and the other three, they immediately wanted to arrest the three of them.
Odysseus said, "Let the captain or section chief of your action team come."
These members of "MI9" are just some "low-sequence" extraordinary people who are responsible for the peripheral search. The reason they want to arrest Odysseus and the other three is to snatch those extraordinary characteristics so that they can take credit after the operation.
After hearing what Odysseus said, some of them recognized that this was the "leader".
The "leader" was very famous in Backlund's intelligence community, so after hesitating for a moment, these Beyonders smiled at Odysseus and the other three, and two of them quickly went to find their captain.
During the waiting period, five extraordinary characteristics emerged one after another.
Odysseus said to Xio and Fors, "Let's divide the spoils first.
"Based on the contributions made in this battle, I will choose the spoils first, Xio will choose second, and Miss Fors will choose third."
Xio and Fors had no objection to this.
So Odysseus took the lead and picked up the "Arsonist" extraordinary characteristic that looked like a heart. Xio chose a sequence 8 level extraordinary characteristic, and Fors chose a sequence 9 level extraordinary characteristic.
In the second round of division, Odysseus took away a sequence 8 level extraordinary characteristic, and Xio took away the last sequence 9 level extraordinary characteristic.
In fact, when Fors was choosing the spoils, she could have chosen the Sequence 8 Beyonder characteristic, but she felt that she had not made any contribution, so she only took the Sequence 9 characteristic.
Faced with the three men dividing the spoils, the surrounding members of the "Military Intelligence Department" could only stare blankly, and no one said anything to stop them.
There was nothing they could do about it. The strongest member among them was only a Sequence 8, and the "leader" and his companions had killed five Beyonders in the battle just now!
In the Beyonder world, strength was always the best guarantee of safety.
After dividing the spoils, Danesi, the operations chief, also came with a smile on his face: "Mr. 'Leader', thank you for your help again. You have eliminated 5 enemies for Rune.
"Please hand over their relics to us, and I will definitely help you arrange a generous reward."
Odysseus yelled, "You guy whose brain was kicked by a donkey, did the dog promise me that he would protect Miss Xiu's safety?"
Danesi's smile remained unchanged. "If you don't hand over those relics, I will write in the report that you colluded with the enemy and destroyed our encirclement, causing important enemies to escape."
Although the conversation between the two people did not seem to be about one issue, they were actually talking about one thing: Danesi wanted those extraordinary characteristics.
Odysseus scolded him for being untrustworthy and said the so-called generous reward was not credible at all.
Danesi began to threaten Odysseus that if they did not hand over those extraordinary characteristics, they would be charged with "collaborating with the enemy".
