Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 74 Lucifer's Performance (First Order)

Hurricane Vice Admiral Qilingos was wondering if he had been having some bad luck recently.

Originally, he had received a commission, and all he had to do was kill Duke Negan to obtain the "Card of Blasphemy" that every extraordinary person dreams of. This was a great thing.

As a result, Hurricane Vice Admiral Qilingos had just arrived in Backlund when someone spotted his location. He had originally wanted to kill two Beyonders to make an example of them, but the person on the other side turned out to be a traveler, who ran away with his companions without even looking back.

Vice Admiral Hurricane Qilingos had no choice but to let the two rats go and prepare to complete the main purpose of coming to Backlund this time. However, he had just changed his appearance and sneaked into the ball attended by Duke Negan. Before he could take action, he found that he seemed to be ambushed. He had no choice but to give up the assassination and choose to run away.

This made Hurricane Vice Admiral Qilingos furious. After all, if the assassination could not be completed, it meant that his trip was in vain.

Fortunately, with "Creeping Hunger" here, escape is not a problem for me... Hurricane Lieutenant General Qilingos thought so, and came to the vicinity of the artificial lake according to the escape route he had planned long ago. When he was about to take the next step of the escape, he suddenly heard a voice.

"Although I usually don't act with little actors like you, it's because I have a student who I hate, and you just happened to offend him!"

The elegant male voice contained a smile, but also seemed a little helpless.

Hurricane Vice Admiral Qilingos's hair stood on end at this moment, because he found that everything around him seemed to come alive at this moment. Stones, plants, and even the water that he was most familiar with, all became killing weapons at this moment. However, these things did not seem to be prepared to kill him all at once, but only trapped him and made him unable to move.

The next second, Hurricane Vice Admiral Qilingos saw a figure emerge in the air. It was a man in his early thirties, with a handsome face and elegant temperament, like a knowledgeable professor.

But Hurricane Vice Admiral Qilingos knew that all this was an illusion, and the other party must be a demigod of an alien path. As a major pirate active on the sea, Hurricane Vice Admiral Qilingos naturally knew something about the Rose School, so he knew some information about the alien path.

"Sir, I don't seem to have any grudge against you..." Hurricane Vice Admiral Qilingos's mind was working rapidly, thinking of a strategy to save himself, but on the surface he showed a flattering smile.

"You and I have no grudges against each other." Luo Lin smiled and didn't deny it. He just said, "Actually, I didn't bother to care about your affairs, but since you made my student sad, I had no choice but to kill you to make him happy."

The expression is like that of a helpless parent who dotes on his child and has no way to deal with the crying child and can only try to coax him.

Hurricane Vice Admiral Qilingos: ...

Who the hell are you, student?
Hurricane Vice Admiral Qilingos really couldn't think of when he had ever offended the other party's students.

"Although I am actually a little angry, my student has made a mess of friends, and that guy is obviously using me to kill you..." Luo Lin sighed, like a somewhat melancholy parent, sharing with others the troubles of raising a child.

"Then you shouldn't kill me, right?" Hurricane Vice Admiral Qilingos said hurriedly, as if he had heard a glimmer of hope for his own survival.

"You're right..." Luo Lin nodded as if he agreed with what he said. However, before Hurricane Vice Admiral Qilingos could show any joy, he continued:
"But if I don't kill you, my students will be angry, so it's better to kill you and warn that bad boy."

Hurricane Vice Admiral Qilingos: ...

"You're kidding me!" Hurricane Vice Admiral Qilingos dropped his pretense, glaring at Luo Lin and about to unleash a barrage of curse words. However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he realized his words came out like sheep. "Hush! Swearing isn't good manners. A qualified actor shouldn't be full of curse words." Luo Lin placed his index finger lightly on his lips, smiled at Hurricane Vice Admiral Qilingos, and continued, "You have something that interests me, so I can give you a choice."

"You must die, but if you will tell me something that interests me, I can spare your soul."

……

The Hanged Man, Alger, was cursing in his heart.

After receiving the tip from Mr. Fool, he immediately notified the church. However, because Ace Snake, the Singer of God and the leader of the Church of the Storm in the Backlund Diocese, was out for a walk at the time of the incident, it took Alger the Hanged Man some time to notify him, thus missing the best time to arrest Hurricane Vice Admiral Qilingos.

Watching Hurricane Vice Admiral Qilingos disappear into thin air, Hanged Man Alger cursed inwardly while praying that His Excellency the Singer of God could catch him.

With this mentality, the Hanged Man Alger chased to the vicinity of the artificial lake and suddenly stopped.

Because he saw that not far away, the Singer of God, Sir Ace Snake, was confronting another man. The other man was a man that Alger the Hanged Man had never seen before, and Hurricane Vice Admiral Qilingos was standing not far away from him. Because of the angle, Alger the Hanged Man could only see Hurricane Vice Admiral Qilingos from behind.

Who is this? Qilingos's backer?
The Hanged Man, Alger, was somewhat puzzled. He looked towards the Singer of God and saw that the usually irritable Archbishop had a bad expression on his face, but he didn't seem to have any intention of taking action.

The Singer of God, Ace Snake, was indeed not planning to take action, because he had just learned of Lucifer's existence not long ago, and at the same time received an oracle from the Lord of Storms - "Don't worry about Him."

And the mysterious man in front of him was the so-called Lucifer no matter from which angle he looked at it.

"What does your Excellency want to do?" asked Ace Snake.

"Just dealing with a small matter." Rowling smiled. Seeing that the Singer of God had no intention of taking action, he knew that it was probably the Lord of Storms who did something.

It seems that the Goddess of Night should have talked to Storm Pigeon. I wonder if Steam Princess has joined their chat group... As Rowling thought so, he snapped his fingers, and Hurricane Vice Admiral Qilingos, who was originally standing in front of him, turned into a lamb.

Seeing this scene, the Hanged Man Alger couldn't help but widen his eyes. He had seen all kinds of magical abilities, but turning people into sheep was a bit too weird.

And this was a Sequence Six pirate, who was turned into a sheep without any resistance...

The expressions of the other members of the Mandated Punishers team who followed the Hanged Man Alger were not much better.

"I'll leave him to you." Luo Lin looked at the Singer of God and said with a smile, "Although he's not a good actor, at least he's a decent villain. I hope you can give him the ending a villain deserves."
