Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 253 Odysseus is on fire
Rupert's teacher looked very weak, but there seemed to be no injuries on his body.

He saw Odysseus's expression as if he was about to hit someone and smiled, "I say this because although we are looking forward to your rescue, my spirit also realizes that there will be danger in the process of rescue.

"This is a rather contradictory thing, and I don't know how to make a decision."

Odysseus nodded slightly: "I understand."

If you explain it this way, it makes sense.

"Please take a seat," Rupert's teacher said calmly, "We are all safe until we take action."

Then he introduced himself: "I am Rupert's teacher, Clayster Ryan. Thank you for your help to Rupert."

"It's not free help," Odysseus reminded him. "The reward is that Rupert becomes my crew member, and if a battle breaks out, all the spoils belong to me and my companions."

Kleist smiled and said, “Excuse me, this is a pretty good offer, and perhaps I should thank you for inviting Rupert on board.

"Because I can feel that Rupert's fate has changed, and it's a change for the better. He has had many more opportunities in his life since then."

Odysseus sighed: "Your ability is quite good."

You don’t have to do anything every day, just walk around the street and see if you can meet someone who can make you lucky or change your destiny, and opportunities will come.

This will allow them to achieve twice the result with half the effort no matter what they do.

"Unfortunately, this is still a passive skill." Crest seemed to trust Odysseus very much and explained it very clearly: "Only after you invited Rupert aboard did I notice the corresponding change in his fortune."

Odysseus smiled and said, "At least this way I know I'm following the right person."

He did not continue the topic, but asked: "Are your injuries serious? Are you still able to fight?"

Crest lifted up his shirt, and Odysseus and others saw that there was a ball-like thing trembling slightly in his abdomen.

The lump of flesh occupied half of his abdomen, as if a large tumor had grown in his stomach.

Kleist explained: "This is something that was grown inside me by someone from the 'Rose School' using some magical item.

"I can feel that there is an evil creature in the ball of flesh, and as soon as it is born, I will die.

"Luckily, I happened to have a magical item that can suppress the growth and birth of life inside the meat ball, so there's no danger for now.

"Although this has caused me to lose most of my ability to move, my main ability can still be used normally. I have accumulated a lot of good luck in the past few days, which can make me lucky enough at critical moments, causing the enemy to make mistakes and create opportunities for you."

Leona on the side also said: "I can basically still maintain most of my combat effectiveness. I can make the enemy unlucky enough, but it's only unlucky to a certain extent, which can also create opportunities for you."

Odysseus pondered for a moment before saying, "I have three plans. The first is that I will use 'travel' to take you away in two stages..."

Odysseus can only take two people into the spirit world on each "journey."

"...But according to Mr. Crest's spiritual hint, I estimate that if we bring two people into the spiritual world, they will discover our current hiding place." Odysseus analyzed:
"After all, the 'Pharmacist' path is a highly spiritual path. They may have magical items that can detect the use of 'travel'.

"When I come back, there will only be three people left here. The pressure here will be very great."

The others nodded, feeling that Odysseus's analysis made sense.

Odysseus continued, "The second option is for us to return to the railway in an 'invisible' manner, but not to return, because if we do that, we will easily be blocked by the 'Rose School' people in Qatar.

"You can continue east by car. After you've left a certain distance, I'll use the 'travel' function to take you all away.

“This method is relatively safe. Even if we encounter enemies, Mr. Crest and Ms. Leona can help us deal with them.

"But be prepared. We might face a dozen or so enemies, led by two Sequence 5s."

This way they are at least five people, fighting the enemy together.

Although Crest and Leona were injured, neither of them was a combat-oriented person, so their main abilities were not greatly affected.

In this way, they will have stronger combat effectiveness.

Odysseus paused and said, "The third option is to ask a demigod to help us leave..."

Everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath. They didn't expect that Odysseus could ask the demigod for help.

However, Odysseus continued, "...but you must pay a reward that can impress a demigod."

Of course, it was impossible for him to pay Bernadette.

Kleist smiled bitterly: "My teacher was arrested and taken to the Governor's Mansion. Of course, this was his means of refuge.

"But I might not be able to contact the other 'councillors' for a long time afterwards, so I really don't dare to promise to provide a reward that would satisfy a demigod."

Odysseus nodded slowly: It turns out that you have the same teacher as the fat pharmacist who is even more "provocative" than the "provocative", but you obviously haven't gained the teacher's trust, so he didn't even ask you to deliver the sealed object.

But then he thought again: "No, an important member like Crest will definitely be given 'special care' by the 'Rose School'. If he is asked to deliver the seal, not only will Crest be in greater danger, but the seal will also be in greater danger.

Moreover, his seal is unique to the "Monster" path, and Crest is also an extraordinary person of the Monster path, so it is easy for him to gather demigods or angels of the same path.

The fat pharmacist who had just arrived at Bayam was a Beyonder on the Pharmacist path and was a better candidate.

Thinking of this, Odysseus said, "My suggestion is to use the second option.

"But the premise is that you can be sure that once we start to escape, we will definitely encounter danger."

If you are not sure, just try your best and use the first option.

"I'm sure." Crest said firmly.

Odysseus nodded and asked, "Does the other party possess any special magical items? For example, a magical item that can cause evil creatures to be born in the belly of a person."

"That magical item cannot be used at the moment." Crest said, "To be precise, until the evil life in my belly is born, that magical item cannot be used again.

"Donic, a Sequence 5 who joined the Rose School, obtained a magical item with abilities like 'Possession,' 'Scream,' and 'Ice Arrow.'

"The other Sequence 5 is from the Rose School. He's a Wrathful Spirit, and I don't know what magical item he possesses.

"One of the three Sequence 6s seems to have a magical item, but I don't know its specific function."

Odysseus took a deep breath. "Two Sequence 5s, three Sequence 6s..."

This is the most powerful enemy he has encountered so far. When he encountered Celt, the former director of MI9, he was mainly the opponent of the "Mysterious Queen". This time, Odysseus has to deal with the enemy by himself.

Odysseus reviewed his own forces and began to arrange his tactics: "If we encounter enemy obstruction, Bazel and I will be the main force of the attack.

"I have a defense scroll, and this scroll has been strengthened by a certain being, allowing us to block a wave of Sequence 5 attacks.

“Note that the range of this scroll is only seven or eight meters, so everyone should stay within this distance.

"Let's first concentrate our efforts and try to severely injure a Sequence 5.

"I have four such scrolls. If this tactic works, we can inflict heavy damage on the enemy continuously and gain a chance to escape."

What he called "that existence" was actually something he strengthened himself by using the power of the "Wildness of Knowledge".

Odysseus discovered that scrolls like "Explosion Scroll" and "Invisibility Scroll" had very limited enhancement effects, but auxiliary scrolls like "Defense Scroll" and "Acceleration Scroll" had considerable enhancement effects.

An ordinary "Defense Scroll" can only block attacks at the Sequence 5 level, and Odysseus's enhanced "Defense Scroll" may be only slightly weaker than the "Guardian's" "Barrier".

This was also the reason why Odysseus did not ask Bernadette for help immediately. Even if he could not win, he could still delay for a while, and then call for reinforcements if all else failed.

At first, Crest and the others had not thought that Odysseus actually intended to severely damage the enemy Sequence 5, but when they heard that Odysseus actually had such a powerful scroll, they slowly nodded, indicating that they would implement Odysseus's tactics.

Odysseus continued, "Rupert will take care of Crest and Leona. When we get out later, I'll use the acceleration scroll and run as fast as I can."

Rupert nodded: "Okay."

Odysseus said to Rupert alone, "Also, if the situation is urgent and I don't have time to use the scroll, I will simply let you use it later.

"The mantra is the ancient Hermetic word: open."

Rupert nodded again: "Okay."

"Take a short break." Odysseus said, "We'll move in five minutes."

The group began to make final preparations. Five minutes later, Odysseus and Bazel were in front, and the three people from the "School of Life" were behind. Rupert, holding his teacher, and Leona came down from the attic of the warehouse one after another.

Odysseus used the "Invisibility Scroll" again, and the traces of the five people were quickly hidden.

After leaving the warehouse, Odysseus silently said hello to the dozing warehouse manager. After they left the manor, Odysseus immediately used the "Speed Scroll."

They rushed to the grove quickly, but after running a few steps, they noticed three men in windbreakers sitting in the field and chatting.

If they had been standing in the field, they would have been discovered long ago, but they were sitting there and did not notice them in time.

As soon as Odysseus stretched out his hand, they immediately changed the direction of their running.

But one of the men in a black windbreaker sniffed and turned around abruptly: "It smells like blood."

He was a vampire with a very developed sense of smell.

The other party brought two subordinates and immediately followed the scent, and one of the subordinates blew the whistle.

Odysseus thought to himself: It's true that I run into danger as soon as I try to escape.

"Stop!" Odysseus immediately ordered: "Attack!"

Let's deal with these three people first. As Odysseus spoke, he had already opened his briefcase and threw out a "Scorching Sun Scroll": "Open!"

The scroll opened, creating a layer of golden ripples. The surrounding sunlight suddenly became scorching and dazzling, causing the vampire to scream and quickly cover his eyes with his hands.

The tenant farmers around were also a little puzzled. Why did the sunlight over there suddenly become so intense? And why were there people screaming?

Bazel, blessed with the "Acceleration Scroll", immediately stepped forward and broke the vampire's neck with one punch. The other two were two "madmen". Although they were sacrificing their sanity to gain strength, in the process, Odysseus also rushed up and first elbowed one of the members so that his chest collapsed.

Then he slammed into the other one, knocking him against a big tree, and the other one was also seriously injured.

When the two men fell to the ground and vomited blood, the surrounding tenant farmers realized that there was a fight around them and immediately fled in all directions.

At the same time, Bazel stabbed the "vampire"'s heart with a dagger, killing him completely.

In a blink of an eye, the enemies who heard the whistle arrived, but there were only three of them!
Odysseus was slightly stunned, and immediately realized that it must be that Crest was lucky enough that the enemy only came in a small wave for the time being.

Things happened just as Odysseus had expected. Crest's ability made the traitor Donic rush over immediately without thinking much after hearing the whistle.

But Donic was not stupid. After seeing the two unfamiliar faces of Odysseus and Bazel, he just stared at Crest and others. He did not attack immediately, but waited for more companions to gather here.

Odysseus made a prompt decision and threw a "Defense Scroll" to Rupert, then said again: "Attack!"

If they could severely damage this Sequence 5 before the others arrived, then Odysseus and the others would not have a difficult time escaping.

Odysseus had already put on the "Hand of Judgement" gloves. He raised his hand and said to Donic, "Imprison!"

Donic was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting Odysseus and others to take the initiative to attack.

He opened his mouth and let out a scream that pierced his soul, but at the same time, the air around him became sticky and he was "imprisoned" there.

Before Odysseus launched his attack, Rupert threw out the "Defense Scroll": "Activate!"

The scroll was like a vacuum cleaner, sucking in all the spiritual energy around it. The process was so violent that a buzzing sound was heard.

Almost at the same time, a transparent film appeared in front of Rupert and others.

Donic's scream created ripples on the membrane, and when it reached the ears of Rupert and others, it was just a scream.

Only Odysseus was not within the range of the "Defense Scroll" because after using the "Imprisonment" ability, he immediately used the "Travel Ring" to enter the spirit world. Anyway, his tracks were already discovered, so it didn't matter if the enemy discovered that he had entered the spirit world.

The next second, Odysseus appeared behind Donic and threw a punch: "Death!"

This was what he came up with, using his two Sequence 5 level seals to work together to perform the most perfect combo!
Donic was still being "imprisoned" at this time and had no way to escape, while his two "vampire" subordinates were attacking Basel and others.

Odysseus's punch hit Donic's heart on the back, and the sound of broken bones was heard immediately.

For those below the level of Demigod, the Punishment Knight's "death" ability is unavoidable, and those who are hit will definitely suffer serious damage.

The traitor Donic didn't expect that he would be knocked out by a punch as soon as he appeared.

Moreover, his ability to recover was not as fast as usual, because the effect of the "Sun Scroll" was still there, and the sun was shining brightly around him.

In this state, for extraordinary people of the path of Odysseus, it is just a little hot, but for "vampire" and above "mid-sequence" extraordinary people, it will seriously affect their condition.

After Odysseus succeeded in his sneak attack, he immediately gave chase and threw a "Thunder Scroll" at Donic.

Click~
The scroll shattered, and with a loud thunder, a lightning bolt as thick as a bucket immediately formed in the air and struck Donic.

Although this "Crimson Scholar" was seriously injured and the surrounding environment greatly affected his condition, he was still very fast. He stood up suddenly and left quickly, leaving only a shadow behind.

But at this moment, a "vampire" ran over and collided with the "lightning".

This was Leona's ability, which made this "vampire" unlucky enough to misjudge the situation and want to escape immediately. As luck would have it, he bumped into the "lightning" and was struck half to death.

Of course, Odysseus would not miss this opportunity. He punched the opponent in the back, breaking his heart, and the "vampire" died.

Another "vampire" was fighting with Bazel, and Rupert and others were helping.

Just as Odysseus was about to rush over to end the battle quickly, he suddenly felt a chill on his back and his hair stood on end. He immediately threw an "explosive scroll" behind him and said, "Open!"

Boom~
The earth trembled!
A figure exploded from the ground. It was a "ghost" that was about to approach Odysseus and possess him.

Because he was in the "Shadow" state, the violent explosion did not cause him too serious injuries, but he was somewhat confused: What was that just now? How did I get blown away?

The tenant farmers had all run away just now, so this "explosive scroll" did not hit any innocent people.

Crest's good luck had not yet run out, as the people from the "Rose School" still did not come to support him.

This "ghost" ran fast, so it arrived first.

After a moment's hesitation, Odysseus immediately raised his "Hand of Judgment": "Possession is prohibited here!"

Then he threw a "Sun Scroll" at the "ghost". In the end, he still wanted to try and see if he could severely damage the "ghost".

If they could inflict heavy damage on the enemy, there would be almost no need for Odysseus and the others to run away. They could just wait to harvest the spoils on the ground, and there would be no need to leave here in such a panic afterwards.

The surrounding sunlight suddenly became stronger, and such scorching sunlight made the "ghost" feel very uncomfortable.

He observed the situation briefly, without using any undead spells, or even turning into a "shadow", and just rushed directly towards Odysseus.

Because under such intense sunlight, his best abilities would be weakened, and he would not be able to "possess" others temporarily, so it would be better to attack in the most direct way.

To be precise, this idea is very correct. After all, Odysseus is a "scroll professor". His fighting skills are no problem against "vampires" and "madmen", but when he encounters "ghosts" that have been strengthened by "werewolfs" and "zombies", he is not enough.

But Odysseus did not back down, because he was not an ordinary "scroll professor", or rather, his scroll was not ordinary.

After deciding to help Rupert, Odysseus began to make corresponding preparations, inventing and writing corresponding scrolls to deal with the extraordinary people of the "Prisoner" path and the "Moon" path.

These preparations gave Odysseus a great help, or in other words, the extraordinary people of this path have very strong attack power after being well prepared.

The "ghost" attacked at an extremely fast speed. Odysseus threw out three scrolls in a row and shouted "Open!" three times in a row.

The first scroll he invented was the "winding scroll," which was used to wind around land and rocks instead of surrounding vegetation.

They first suddenly turned into mud and rushed towards the "ghost" like a tide. Even though the "ghost" was extremely fast, its thighs were entangled by the mud.

Then they immediately solidified, and in a short period of time they became almost as hard as rocks, as if the earth had stretched out a hand and grasped the "ghost".

The "vengeful spirit" reacted almost instinctively, turning itself into a "shadow", making itself invisible and breaking free from the constraints of the earth and rocks.

At this moment, another scroll invented by Odysseus, the "Sword of the Undead", exploded, and an illusory white bone sword suddenly appeared, piercing the "ghost" that had just turned into a "shadow". The attack directly pierced his soul, causing him to scream.

The "Sword of the Dead" is a scroll specifically designed to deal with ghosts and undead creatures, and it has the "Entangled Scroll" as a prelude, so the "Ghost" has no time to dodge.

The "Sword of the Undead" that was stabbed into the "ghost" had not disappeared yet, and Odysseus's third scroll exploded. It was the "Thunder and Lightning Scroll" that had just been used and strengthened by Odysseus.

The "Sword of the Undead" slowed down the movements of the "Ghost", and lightning as thick as a bucket hit the Ghost, striking him so hard that smoke came out of his mouth.

Thunder and lightning are also quite effective against the "ghost", which has already been injured.

But the opponent continued to rush towards Odysseus, because such injuries were not fatal to him. As long as he rushed close to the "Scroll Professor", he could break the opponent's neck with one hand.

At this moment, Odysseus raised his hand: "Exile!"

Among the abilities of "Hand of Judgment", only "Death" cannot be used continuously. It takes more than half a minute before it can be used again, otherwise Odysseus will definitely use another combo of "Imprisonment" and "Death".

The "ghost" watched as it quickly moved away from its target.

At this time, Odysseus had three scrolls again, namely the "Entangled Scroll", the "Sword of the Undead" and the "Thunder and Lightning Scroll".

This round of combo left the "Ghost" seriously injured, but he still rushed towards Odysseus, because the "Exile" just now had made him very sure that the "Scroll Professor" in front of him could not withstand his attack.

In addition, his subordinates also came to support. Even if they could not kill this "Scroll Professor", they could attract firepower and create opportunities for their subordinates.

The extraordinary people on this path are generally not afraid of getting hurt, and exchanging injuries for injuries is their normal state.

Odysseus saw many enemies rushing towards him, but he remained calm. When the "Wrathful Spirit" rushed close enough, he raised his hand and said, "Imprison!"

After "imprisoning" the opponent, Odysseus ran towards the "defensive magic circle" while throwing an "explosive scroll" at the feet of the "ghost".

Boom~
Another violent explosion sounded, and the "Ghost" was blown to a height of seven or eight meters. Even though it quickly entered the "Shadow" state, half of its leg was blown off.

Odysseus's attack was calculated very precisely. The explosion occurred almost as the "imprisonment" effect ended, leaving the "ghost" no time to dodge.

In the state of "imprisonment", the "vengeful soul" can only enter the state of "shadow" and cannot enter the spiritual world.

If Odysseus's attack had not been so precise, giving him time to enter the spirit world, he would not have been blown up so badly.

The members of the "Rose School" who had just come to support were stunned. They had heard Beverly, the "Potion Professor" who had once chased Rupert, talk about the powerful explosion before, but no one took it seriously at the time.

Seeing the explosion at this moment, I suddenly understood Beverly's fear.

After hiding behind the "defensive magic circle" and watching for a while, Odysseus decided not to escape for the time being because the "ghost" was also seriously injured.

If you run away at this time, you will be handing over the initiative of the battle.

At this time, Odysseus and others had already severely injured two Sequence 5s, killed three "vampires" and two "madmen".

To achieve such a record, in addition to Odysseus being strong enough, Crest's ability is also very important. If the "ghost" had arrived a second or two earlier, the situation would be very different from what it is now.

The group of people from the "Rose School" did not attack immediately, but hurried to find the "ghost". After all, the guy looked quite badly blown up.

"I'm fine," said the "ghost," whose entire body was severely burned and half of its leg was missing. "Don't waste your time on me. Launch a tentative attack."

As for Odysseus and the others, the first "defense scroll" has been used up.

Odysseus looked at his companions. In the previous battle, Bazel's shoulder was hit by the "vampire"'s claw, but it seemed that it did not affect his combat effectiveness.

Odysseus was injured by the violent explosion and the blown-up earth and rocks, but they were all minor wounds and nothing serious.

But Crest said, "I only have a little bit of luck left."

Leona also said: “I can only give bad luck to one more target, otherwise even if the target becomes unlucky enough, it will attract some terrifying existence.

"My own luck will allow me to escape easily, but it may be difficult for you to escape."

Odysseus nodded, thought for a moment, then took out five scrolls from his briefcase and handed one to Rupert and the others. "When the enemy begins to attack, use these scrolls immediately."

Then he took out three more scrolls and handed them to Bazel: "Throw them to where there are crowds of people later!"

Bazel carefully put away the scroll: "Okay."

At this time, the enemy's tentative attack began. Among them were two "zombies", a "potion professor", several "werewolfs" and several "vampires".

If these guys get close to them, perhaps only Basel will be able to fight. In terms of close combat, Odysseus and others are no match for them at all.

Following Odysseus's tactics, the five men simultaneously threw out their scrolls and chanted the spell at the same time: "Open!"

Then, the five of them flew up together!
That’s right, Odysseus just gave everyone a “Flying Scroll”.

When Odysseus was making preparations, he realized that no matter whether it was the Beyonders of the "Pharmacist" or "Prisoner" paths, they all seriously lacked long-range attack methods before Sequence 5.

So Odysseus prepared some more "flying scrolls".

After seeing five people flying together, the people from the "Rose School" were stunned.

It was the "ghost" who was seriously injured by the explosion, and realized the seriousness of the situation: "Run!"

After saying that, he screamed at Odysseus and the others, but at the same time, Odysseus had already used the second "Defense Scroll", and the scream again had no effect.

Bazel threw the first scroll to the ground and said, "Open it!"

The ground quickly became muddy and spread towards the enemy like a tide.

Because there were many members of the "Rose School" in that place, this scroll trapped five enemies.

Odysseus then threw down an "explosive scroll", and instantly limbs flew everywhere, internal organs flowed out, and the screams terrified the hiding tenants.

At this time, illusory bat wings appeared behind the "vampires" and the "Potion Professor", and they flew up to attack Odysseus and others.

But Odysseus was prepared and threw a "Thunderstorm Scroll" at them.

This scroll was also invented by Odysseus. After the scroll exploded, a huge ball of thunder appeared.

yah~
The electric arc shot out, illuminating a large area around it in silver-white.

The thunderball exploded, and the wings of the "vampire" flying a little slower were pierced by the electric arc and fell to the ground.

The "vampires" who were not hit by the electric arc quickly returned to the ground and escaped as soon as possible.

The wings of the "vampire" can only be used for a short time. If they fail to hit it, they will not be able to attack Odysseus and others.

The wings of the "Potion Professor" could last for a while longer, but he used them to escape instead of continuing to attack Odysseus and others.

At this time, Bazel had thrown out the second "Entanglement Scroll", trapping two enemies again, and Odysseus used the "Explosion Scroll" again.

The two members of the "Rose School" lost their fighting ability amid screams.

The two continued to chase. Just as Bazel was about to throw out the third scroll, the "ghostly" "ghost" came to the end of the team. Suddenly, a layer of frost appeared on the ground, and several ice arrows shot towards Odysseus and Bazel.

Odysseus and Bazel immediately retreated and hid back in the magic circle of the "Defense Scroll".

"Alright, stop chasing." Odysseus looked at the enemy who had been blown half to death and was still struggling to escape: "The spoils this time are already rich enough!"

　Sorry, I'm a little late today.
