I'm an antique shop owner, so it's reasonable for me to know some magic

Chapter 538

With all his escape routes blocked, the man seemed utterly powerless to resist, standing still and enduring all the paper figures' attacks!
The first paper figure to act landed a punch squarely on his left chest, the terrifying force of the punch penetrating his body so much that it tore a huge hole in the suit on his back.

His body was sent flying backward, crashing through three walls before coming to a stop and falling to the ground, eliciting screams and curses of terror.

"do you died?"

Theresa stared intently at the motionless body and the pool of blood that had formed beneath it.

The dent in his chest indicated that his sternum had likely been shattered, and the broken bones had pierced his heart and lungs, resulting in a severe injury.

In addition, the other paper figures attacked the man's right leg, ribs, and back of the neck.

A human spine, once intact, would be broken into at least three segments under such a powerful attack, not to mention internal injuries. Even if the person didn't die, they would be left barely alive.

However, Theresa dared not be careless in the slightest.

After entrusting Annie to the care of the paper figures left behind, she moved against the flow of fleeing guests and gradually approached the man.

Just as she stepped within ten meters of the latter, a strong sense of crisis welled up in Theresa's heart, and almost subconsciously, she turned her head.

Five elongated, pale finger bones pierced through like spears, almost grazing Theresia's cheek, and easily disappeared into the concrete wall behind her as if stabbing tofu!

Theresa was prepared, and even though she was startled by the sudden attack, she didn't lose her ability to react. Instead of creating distance, she quickly closed in!
In the brief moment between the paper figures attacking the man, she had already used her holy power to strengthen her body again, resulting in a dramatic change in her bodily functions.

Theresa didn't know how her opponent had managed to survive such a terrifying attack and even have the strength to fight back, but the wounds on her body were undeniable.

What she had to do was to go forward with the paper figure and end the other's life completely!

But just then, screams came from behind!

Theresa slowed her pace and instinctively turned her head.

But then they saw that the finger bone that had pierced the wall like a javelin was retracting at an even faster speed, and what it was holding was actually a heart that was still beating and trembling!

Further away lay a corpse, its chest pierced, life slowly fading away, alongside its female companion, who lay paralyzed with fear, her face deathly pale.

Is that man planning to use other people's intact bodies to repair his own severely damaged organs from the battle?!

As if to confirm Theresa's conjecture, blood vessels, stained with blood, extended from the body lying in a pool of blood!
These things that should be responsible for maintaining bodily functions in the human body now spread out in all directions like self-aware snakes, leaving no survivors in their wake.

Leg bone... lungs... heart... spine... sternum...

The man's organs, which were shattered and damaged by the paper figure, were instantly replaced with complete and fresh replacements from other places.

The paper figures also tried to stop this, constantly severing the blood vessels that were wrapped around the organs in order to prevent the other party from healing their injuries.

Unfortunately, the restaurant has too many "materials," so even if the paper figures cut one off, more organs will be sent over.

The organs were placed into the man's body, which lay in a pool of blood, like spare parts, and he was finally able to stand up again.

The corpses from which he had killed and whose organs had been harvested slowly rose to their feet, under the horrified, almost insane gazes of the few survivors.

It was as if invisible threads were manipulating their bodies in mid-air, causing them to sway and gather around the man.

These men and women, who should have been listless and lifeless, had now become the men's most loyal protectors.

Theresa abhorred this practice of playing with the remains of the deceased.

She had never killed anyone. Before meeting the man, Theresa always worried that she would be too soft-hearted when dealing with enemies.

But now, after seeing everything the other person has done, she realizes she was overthinking it.

"A keen intuition. Or is the enhancement from the Holy Power so immense that it allows you to evade a surprise attack launched without warning?"

The man's body quickly returned to normal, and new skin could be seen underneath through the torn clothing.

As he sighed, he casually peeled off the custom-made suit of the man next to him who was missing his heart and draped it over himself.

"The person who can follow Master Su is indeed quite capable, not just an ordinary pretty face."

"But that's where it ends, isn't it? Look at these ridiculous paper figures. What other tricks do they have besides waving their laughable fists?"

"Do you really intend to defeat me with this bunch of useless trash?"

"Do you think you're very capable?"

Theresa suddenly smiled.

"From the moment it appeared until now, it has been completely suppressed by the trash you call it, and has no power to fight back at all."

"The 'parts' on the puppets surrounding you will eventually run out. What will you do then? Do you need me to give you some time to dig up some nearby graves and see if there are any partially decomposed corpses available?"

Theresa's sharp sarcasm caused the smile on the man's face to gradually disappear.

"It's really unpleasant to hear, the quality of the nuns at the Holy See is getting worse with each generation."

One of the corpse puppets next to the man suddenly twisted its body, and its ribs shot towards Theresa like flying knives!

Theresa shifted her feet slightly, and her hand, strengthened by holy power, occasionally slapped down a few ribs that had no time to dodge.

During this time, the paper figures once again transformed into silent killers, lunging at the man.

Unlike last time when there was no resistance, this time, the latter sent out the corpse puppets around him to fight back against the paper dolls' attack.

These originally mortal victims, enhanced by the man's unknown methods, could not escape being shattered or sent flying, but they were able to hold their own for a few moves.

The difference between the two is like that between a pack of wolves and a tiger. A single corpse puppet can be easily torn apart by the paper doll, but if there are many of them, it is by no means easy for the paper doll to break through.

That's what the man thought.

However, what was happening before his eyes was clearly beyond his expectations.

Less than half a minute into the exchange, the paper figures seemed to realize that close-quarters combat alone would not be effective in defeating their enemies, and immediately changed their battle strategy.

The paper figure that had made the first move quickly withdrew from the battle, while the remaining three provided cover for its retreat.

Just as the man was convinced that the paper figures had run out of tricks, the paper figures that had withdrawn from the battle made a strange move.

He raised his palms in front of him and stretched out his other arm, pointing straight up!

Immediately, the airflow inside the restaurant began to stir abnormally.

A wind blowing from outside?
