Chapter 645 The Third Layer of the Jewelry Box
"Well..."
Louis Wayne struggled, his mouth opening but only producing a hoarse, dry sound.
In his eyes, the world was dull and stagnant. The terrifying figure opposite him slowed his movements, approaching step by step. His face was thin and cold, and the revolver in his hand was black iron with a long, narrow barrel.
This...feeling...Master of the Puppet...?
Louis Wayne felt as if his head was filled with mud, becoming extremely sluggish and unable to function.
No... I have to... save myself...
He struggled to control the spirituality within him, sketching intricate symbols and patterns, attempting to construct a "Traveler's Gate" before him. By simply "traveling" for a moment and creating distance, he could change the status quo.
However, at that moment, a strange figure flashed in his eyes—
He wore an old tricorn hat, had deep-set eyes, an extremely pale face, and two tufts of black beard.
"The Blood Admiral," Señor!
A bone-chilling cold instantly filled his body, affecting his spirit and muscles. Louis Wayne immediately lost control of his body, and the half-finished pattern in his mind was forcibly interrupted.
"Possessed by an evil spirit!"
This ability already possesses extremely strong control effects, and when combined with the equally terrifying "Puppetization" of the "Puppet Master," the two working together make it virtually impossible for Louis Wayne to resist.
In those few seconds, Klein had already walked up to him and slowly raised the oddly shaped revolver.
No... Lord... save me...
The fear of death overwhelmed Mr. X. He channeled all his spiritual energy into his finger, attempting to activate the ring he wore. If he could unleash his flesh-and-blood abilities at close range, he could also disrupt the opponent's control.
However, it was too late for him to struggle.
"Click."
In his slowed vision, Louis Wayne saw the dark muzzle of a gun, and behind it, Klein's cold eyes.
"Bang!"
Like a ripe watermelon smashed, Mr. X's neck and above burst open with a satisfying thud. Blood, brain matter, bone fragments... everything splattered in all directions in an instant, steaming hot, like fireworks in full bloom.
But at the very moment the "fireworks" burst open, an invisible force seized the scattered fragments, bringing them back together and piecing them together into a hideous and terrifying head: covered in blood-red cracks, with a face of despair and terror.
"Thump, thump."
Mr. X's headless corpse and the pieced-together head fell to the ground together.
Thanks to the power of the "vengeful spirit," Klein didn't get a single drop of blood when he fired at close range. He quickly put away his gun, pointed it at the corpse, and opened his palm. On his palm, a thin human skin glove opened its illusory mouth.
"Crawling hunger," "grazing"!
"call"
After a gust of bone-chilling wind, Louis Wayne's soul and characteristics were forcibly extracted and entered the glove. Klein withdrew his hand, closed his eyes, and carefully sensed it. A surprised smile quickly appeared on his face.
I successfully drew the "Travel" card!
Unlike Luze, who actively chooses his ability, "Crawling Hunger" selects his ability randomly, and getting "Travel" is a pleasant surprise.
"My long-term lurking in the shadows wasn't in vain."
Klein thought to himself.
However, his joy did not last long before he heard layers of illusory prayers echoing in his ears.
Is someone praying to a fool?
On the banks of the Tasok River.
The scene before them was inexplicable. A large section of the riverbank had been abruptly dug away, leaving behind strange, neatly edged marks, as if a completely transparent square object had replaced what had been there before.
The first layer of the jewelry box in the hands of "The Saint of Mystery" Butis was completely open, and inside was a miniature landscape: a riverbank covered with damp mud and gravel, interspersed with lush green water plants.
Everything on that riverbank was forcibly put into the box!
No, not all.
A stunningly beautiful woman in a long black dress stood within the dent, and a tiny area centered on her remained outside the box. It was as if she had forcibly prevented the effect with some strange power.
"As expected of Mr. Temperance's messenger!"
Fors' eyes lit up, and he thought to himself.
Indeed, standing there was Antia Troliss. After being suddenly attacked by a Level 0 sealed artifact, the ship spirit finally revealed herself.
"Damn it!"
In stark contrast to the jubilant Fors was the angry and desperate "Mysterious Saint" Butis, whose final struggle had failed.
Just as Dorian said, the three-tiered jewelry box in his hand is a level 0 sealed artifact from the Abraham family, the "Box of the Ancients." All three tiers of the box can be opened, and each tier has a different effect.
By opening the first layer, you can swap the internal space of the box with the target area and shrink the corresponding scene.
If there are any living beings in the target area, they will be toyed and placed inside the box. If they are not released within 24 hours, they will be permanently transformed, and even their spirits will not find peace.
The second layer records different locations, including "Abyss" and "Starry Sky." Once opened, it allows the holder and creatures within a certain range to be directly transferred to the designated area.
However, this transfer is random, and most of the time it will not reach the chosen destination, and may even mutate.
As for the third level, that is a forbidden area that must never be opened.
Butis's original plan was to use the first layer of the "Box of the Ancients" to imprison that hidden entity within. However, he underestimated its opponent; the powerful level 0 sealing artifact ultimately only caused the entity to reveal itself?
So it seems that she, no, he is at least a Sequence 2 angel!
I'm doomed!
"5
""
Antia's face was slightly pale, and her eyes flashed with anger as she looked at Butis.
Fighting a level 0 sealed artifact is not as simple as it seems. Her condition was already unstable due to the "anchor". She was originally controlling Butis from the shadows, not only to leave it to Luze to deal with, but also to reduce her own spiritual energy consumption.
However, she did not expect that Boutis was hiding such a dangerous thing.
We must subdue him immediately and seize that box!
Just as Antia was about to make a move, her body suddenly trembled and she became somewhat unreal... The exertion just now caused her to be momentarily slowed down.
But at that moment, Boutis reached for the third layer of the jewelry box.
His eyes were completely filled with despair and madness. If the first layer didn't work, opening the second layer would be useless... He only had death as his fate! Since that was the case, he might as well let everyone die with him!
