Mystery: Big Alarm Clock Ghroth Path

Chapter 206 No one knows the "door" path better than me
"Ha ha……"

When Roger saw Ince Zangwill appear, he was stunned for a moment, but then he quickly revealed a smile that was not surprising.

He laughed louder and louder, until his shoulders couldn't help but twitch.

Then Roger said:

"Ince, I never thought you'd dare to come to me... You don't think you can escape danger by following the Aurora Society, do you?"

Before he finished speaking, he instantly used the "parasitic glove" on his left hand to steal the distance between himself and Ince Zangwill and came close to him.

Roger pulled out a talisman from his pocket with his right hand. It had a rust-colored planet with a terrifying eyeball in the center.

That is an enhanced version of the "Sound of the Celestial Bodies" spell, powerful enough to threaten demigods!
At the same time, Roger gave the "distance" he had just stolen to the "Secret Saint" Butis who was close to him and had a faint light flashing in his eyes, so that he could distance himself from him.

On the other hand, Roger's men did not stop and stole the "teleportation" ability of the "Secret Saint" almost at the same moment!
This is equivalent to disabling Butis's "Flash" and "Traveler" abilities at the same time, eliminating the possibility of the opponent escaping and attacking him.

Roger's lightning-fast operation startled both Butis and Ince Zangwill.

Because this is obviously not something a Sequence 5 Beyonder can do.

In other words, Roger has a level 1 sealed object on him!
Ince Zangwill subconsciously wanted to retreat, but his body suddenly became uncontrollable.

"No...it's not the body, it's the clothes!"

At this moment, some invisible force held Ince Zangwill's clothes in place, thus indirectly and temporarily restricting his movement!

But Ins, who understood what was happening, was not at all flustered, and a bottomless darkness appeared in his eyes.

The next moment, as Roger was about to cast the "Voice of the Celestial Bodies" spell on Ince Zangwill, a ball of extremely dense darkness suddenly erupted from his body.

This made Roger completely lose his perception of the outside space.

At the same time, the sound of chanting poetry came from the almost infinite darkness. The singing was full of peace and tranquility, which made Roger want to sleep in an instant.

Even his spirit seemed to have sunk into a quagmire, and began to be swallowed and consumed by the thick darkness.

Blessings are unparalleled, and misfortunes do not come singly.

At this moment, the shadow that originally belonged to Roger under his feet suddenly seemed to come alive.

The revived shadow instantly climbed upwards, firmly grasping the lower half of Roger's body.

On the other hand, when it came into contact with the darkness that originated from Ince Zangwill, it seemed to become even more excited and began to stir uncontrollably.

Not far away, the "Dark Saint" Xesma has transformed into a small giant about two meters three or two meters tall. His whole body is covered with black, cold armor. Only at the position of his eyes are two balls of deep red light flashing. He is a dark knight holding a straight and deep sword.

That is the "Blade of Flesh and Soul" belonging to the "Black Knight"!
As long as Xesma cuts Roger's shadow, the latter's spirit will lose some of its integrity and be severely damaged.

By that time, Roger will no longer have the ability to resist and can only become the "vessel" for the arrival of the "true creator"!
But right now.

Two bloody yellow arms covered with wriggling rotten flesh suddenly stretched out from behind the "Dark Saint" Xesma!
No, more than two.

More blood-yellow arms emerged from around Xesma's waist and legs!

These arms are fearless and seem to be completely unafraid of the extremely strong "corrupted" power on the "Black Knight" armor.

Even though a considerable number of them were corroded as soon as they came into contact with the armor, because there were so many blood-yellow arms, they still created a huge drag force that was difficult for Xesma to resist even after he transformed into a "Black Knight" and gained greatly increased physical strength.

As expected, this "Dark Saint" was immediately dragged into the void, into the spiritual world, and disappeared.

Because of his departure, the shadow under Roger's feet immediately returned to normal, and fell limp again, without any sign of abnormality.

Roger's body suddenly relaxed.

After getting a chance to catch his breath, he immediately used his "trouble-maker" ability to hint at himself without reservation!
The "shit stirrer" not only has the ability to control and suggest the mind, it also has one most important ability.

That is, it can forcibly eliminate the target's sleepiness within a period of time!

In the past, because Roger was protected by the Essence of Ghroth, and after Sequence 8, he gained active control over the "Awake" buff, so he himself would not be affected by this effect.

But the situation at this moment was different, because Roger himself let down his guard. Not only did he allow that power to affect him, he also prayed for Ghroth's source in his heart, hoping that it would strengthen the "awake" buff!

As expected, after this operation, a huge, thunder-like sound exploded in Roger's heart, instantly dispelling all of Roger's sleepiness.

As a result, he was able to squeeze out two difficult-to-pronounce characters from his throat:
"Celestial body!"

The "celestial" talisman, which was blessed by the "spell" and used by Roger himself, immediately made a huge explosion.

The explosion was like a sudden thunderstorm in the dark night, shaking the almost complete "darkness" and shattering it in an instant.

Roger, whose eyes had become glass, once again saw the sun that was about to disappear in the evening square, and a familiar and comforting figure that quickly appeared beside him.

He was a middle-aged gentleman wearing a silk hat and a black suit.

His skin was the bronze color typical of Balam people, he was of medium build, with black hair and brown eyes, soft features, and a small, barely noticeable mole below his right ear.

Not only that, there was an indescribable sense of vicissitudes in the eyes of this middle-aged man, as if he was an immortal traveler who had been wandering outside his hometown for countless years.

This is Mr. Azik Eggers!
"Mr. Azik... is it Klein?"

Roger's eyes moved slightly and he blurted out.

Mr. Azik nodded slightly, then looked at Ince Zangwill, who was standing not far in front of him with a solemn expression and blood oozing from his mouth and nose.

Unfortunately, due to the obstruction of "Requiem", the "Heavenly Body" talisman did not explode close to the body, which did not cause much damage to Ins.

Roger understood by now.

He knew that Klein had been in constant contact with Mr. Azik, and before he left Backlund with Cecilia, he should have realized that Roger was about to arrive at the stone hexagonal building on Gower Street.

But out of concern, Klein used the copper whistle to notify Mr. Azik and asked him to rush to the designated location as soon as possible to help Roger.

Fortunately, Mr. Azik was already near Backlund, so it wouldn't take him too long to get here!

"I banished the 'Black Knight' to the spirit world... but this should only be temporary. There's something special about him."

Hearing Mr. Azik's words, Roger nodded slightly.

As a Sequence 4 "Shepherd" and one of the Saints of the Aurora Society, Xesma is not only likely to carry certain high-sequence seals, but there is also a high probability that he is herding the souls of extraordinary people such as "Apprentice" or "Corpse Collector".

He only needs to find a way to break free from the control of the undead, and then let the soul of the extraordinary person use the spiritual power that he has recorded or directly comes from himself, and he will be able to return to reality!

And considering the existence of his teammate, the Sequence 4 level "Mystic Mage" Butis, this possibility is almost certain.

Mr. Azik also saw this and warned Roger.

But no matter what, the previous negative situation was instantly reversed because of His arrival.

If we ignore the "Dark Saint" Xesma who may return at any time, the current situation has changed from the original "Strongest Mid-Sequence" Roger taking on three saints alone to him and a Sequence 2 angel taking on two saints!
Roger took a deep breath, and then, relying on his connection with the occult, he successively detonated two records of the first movement of the "October Piano Concerto" that were placed in the warehouse of an art dealer in Backlund.

The "Spiritual Healing" rule was double-triggered, and Roger's spiritual power, which had been greatly depleted by the "darkness", also recovered quickly.

Although he has gained a lot of anchors, the quality and total capacity of his spirituality are no longer the same as before.

But considering that Ins is a genuine Sequence 4 Saint, his power level is still overwhelming, so the torture just now still consumed a lot of Roger's spiritual power.

"Mr. Azik, please help me deal with Ins... and Xesma who may be back at any time.

"Leave it to me, Butis... This is a family matter."

Roger said in a deep voice.

On the one hand, he wanted to deal with Butis alone, on the other hand, he knew that the "Night Watchman" was good at bringing misfortune to others.

Although Roger also possesses the ability of destiny, he still feels a certain pressure when fighting against high-sequence Beyonders in the same field.

On the other hand, in fact, he did not know the details of the Night Watch's abilities very well.

In comparison, he was much more aware of the extraordinary abilities of the "apprentice" path.

"it is good."

Mr. Azik nodded without any hesitation.

As a Sequence 2 angel, dealing with two saints was not a difficult task for him.

In contrast, Ince Zangwill's condition was completely different from Roger's.

The "night watchman" was trembling uncontrollably in his heart.

This is not a simple emotional reaction, but an instinct.

Once a Sequence 5 Saint of the "Death God" Path, and now a Sequence 4 Saint of the "Darkness" Path, he subconsciously felt a surge of fear from the depths of his soul when faced with the "Archon of Death" of the adjacent Path.

Azik Eggers?

How did He get here?
After the Tingen City incident, Ince Zangwill now has a better understanding of Mr. Azik.

This was his first time facing an angel in the strict sense, and an angel from an adjacent path.

One can imagine how terrified the former archbishop of the Church of the Evernight Goddess was at that moment.

But that doesn't mean he's going to run away.

Because, suddenly, the fear in Ins' heart quickly subsided.

It seemed as if the invisible pressure caused by the difference in status disappeared in an instant, as if it had been "balanced".

Azik Eggers naturally noticed this change. He quickly and calmly scanned his surroundings, trying to discover something.

At the same time, the ease in Mr. Azik's eyes immediately disappeared, and instead became somewhat solemn.

……

On the other side, Roger stood opposite Butis, the "Secret Saint" whose "teleportation" ability had been "stolen".

Previously, Butis was tricked because he didn't know that Roger possessed a demigod-level "Thief" path seal.

But at this moment he had reacted, and used the "secret-keeping" ability of the "secret mage" to temporarily "block" his extraordinary ability.

This means that the "parasitic gloves"'s mystical perception of Butis's extraordinary abilities will weaken during the duration of "keeping the secret", and the possibility of successfully stealing the abilities will be greatly reduced.

At the same time, Butis's figure became illusory, and a large number of "doors" flashing in different colors began to appear around him.

These doors are very illusory and appear and disappear for no reason, but it seems that there is a mystery behind each door, connecting to an independent scene or world.

Not only that, behind each door there seemed to be a Butis flashing quickly, and these "Butis" suddenly asked at the same time:
"You know me, who are you?"

Although Roger was nominally considered a special messenger of the Aurora Society, he might have read about the title of "Secret Saint" in the Aurora Society's sacred text.

However, Butis's name was never mentioned in those materials, and there was no portrait of him, so it stands to reason that Roger could not have known his identity.

"An Abraham who wants your life."

After Roger finished speaking, his eyes turned into a glassy, cloudy texture again.

At the same time, Roger gained control of all inanimate objects nearby, as if there was an invisible connection connecting him to these things.

As he controlled his mind, the stones on the surrounding road, the rivets fixing the benches, and the glass on the hexagonal stone building began to tremble slightly.

The stones left the ground, the rivets silently emerged from the benches, and the glass shattered into countless extremely dangerous blades.

Even the water droplets from the fountain in the central square solidified and stagnated in mid-air.

The next second, these countless inanimate objects converged like a rainstorm, attacking the brightest "door" created by Butis from all directions!
Even if he created many obstacles through the "door", as long as the density of a single attack was high enough and the duration was longer, there would be a chance for it to reveal a flaw.

Roger's current situation is very different from when he fought against the two witches Evelyn and Adeline.

He had already been promoted to Sequence 5 at that time. Although he could use two Sequence 4 level seals at the same time, the duration could not be too long.

This would not only cause excessive spiritual damage, but would also put considerable pressure on his spirit.

But Roger, who has now obtained two Sequence 5 souls, is different from what he was back then.

Because he discovered not long ago that he could use the ability of "fate exchange" to directly exchange those mental burdens with the "witch of pain" Adeline and the "apostle of desire" Jason Belia whom he was herding!

Although they no longer have physical bodies, their spirits, carried by spiritual bodies, are still preserved and are connected to Roger in fate.

It is precisely because of this that they can help Roger bear some of the mental burden and even pollution.

On the other hand, because Adeline and Jason are enslaved souls with strong blindness, they are also insensitive to spiritual influences.

Because of this low-limit state of existence, they can actually bear more pollution than when they were alive!

This undoubtedly greatly extended the duration that Roger could use the High-Sequence Seals and significantly raised the upper limit of his combat power.

Faced with the impact and disappearance of those inanimate objects, the "Secret Saint" behind the door remained calm at first, but as the attack continuously consumed his strength, his expression also changed.

Butis gently clenched his right hand towards the void, immediately dividing the large space in front of him into two parts.

One part is close to Butis himself and looks normal, while the other is the interface with the "lifeless rainstorm".

The space interface behind seemed to be covered by a shadow and became dislocated, as if leading to another deep and invisible dark world.

The next moment, all the inanimate matter heading towards Butis was swallowed up by this pocket-like darkness and disappeared in an instant.

“No wonder, he’s the lost dog of the Abraham family.

"I heard that you all died, didn't you? Huh? Why are you still alive?"

Suddenly, the low, provocative voice of the "Secret Saint" Butis rang in Roger's ears.

However, before Roger could react, he felt a very strong suction force coming from behind him.

Out of fighting instinct, Roger subconsciously reached into the gun bag on his chest and pulled the trigger of the "life-gambling revolver" that had been turned in advance.

At the same time, he extended his spirituality into another Sequence 3 level seal on his body.

"Raziel's Star Compass"!
However, Roger did not actually activate it, but temporarily borrowed its status through spiritual connection, and coordinated with his own changes in fortune to influence certain details of the battle.

The next moment, as a blood flower bloomed, Roger also fell into a kind of chaos.

After a moment of noise and flashes of various lights, he appeared in a dark environment.

Although the darkness here is not as thorough as the "Requiem" released by the "Night Watchman" Ince Zangwill before, it is not much different.

Because his vision was blocked, Roger's other senses such as hearing and touch were naturally amplified by his brain and nerves as compensation.

However, at this moment, an indescribable sound, like the sound of flowing water, came from his ears.

Although the sound was relatively subtle at the moment, it was extremely loud and seemed to contain countless evil whispers.

To Roger, the sound seemed to be getting louder.

If an ordinary extraordinary person heard the noisy sound here, he would probably go crazy in minutes.

But Roger is different, because his essence is the noisiest existence in the entire universe.

Ghroth, the "Star of Judgment", is even louder than the "Endless Whispers"!
Therefore, the noise not only did not cause any negative impact on Roger, but made him excited.

"I've been 'exiled'..."

Roger had an epiphany.

Without thinking, he took out another "celestial body" talisman from his arms and threw it into the void around him.

As the awkward word "celestial body" was uttered, the darkness of the surrounding world miraculously dissipated in an instant, and the spatial restriction that maintained "exile" also seemed to fall apart.

A moment later, Roger stood in the square again, looking coldly at Butis opposite him.

"how is this possible?"

Butis was secretly shocked.

Although there seemed to be some deviation when "exiling" Roger, in Butis's opinion, that "cave world" was not bad.

The flow of time there is slower than in reality, and the gurgling sound of water will cause great mental damage to those who enter, which even a demigod cannot ignore.

However, not only did nothing happen to Roger, he even broke out of his "exile" and returned to the real world!

In fact, the reason why Roger went to the "Cave World" was the result of his own deliberate manipulation.

As a direct descendant of Abraham's family, Roger naturally understood the abilities of the "Mystic", and knew that this sequence level could open up gaps in the turbulence of time and space, and open one "door" after another leading to various illusory scenes.

This exile lasts for a very limited time, only twenty seconds in reality.

But this does not mean that he only needs to exist in the exiled state for twenty seconds... Because under the influence of space-time turbulence, the speed of time flow in each "scene" will be different!
Therefore, simply waiting cannot ensure that the exiles can leave safely.

Apart from the actual time running out, there are only three conventional methods.

The first is to be able to find stable spiritual coordinates as support, and then return to reality through a teleportation ability similar to that of a "traveler".

The second is to use the help of teammates, or to hit the mystic who implemented "exile" from a distance, so that his ability to maintain "exile" is weakened.

The third condition is more stringent, which requires the exile to control or break the fragments of the scene he is in and return to reality early.

Considering the actual situation, the first two options are unlikely to be feasible.

So Roger had no choice but to adopt the third method, but the means he used to implement it were rather special.

Although the "Secret Mage" has some knowledge of the coordinates of the worlds and scenes connected to each "door", this is only relative, because these scenes are connected by the turbulence of time and space. When certain conditions are met, "wrong" deployment will occur.

This requires a status at least equal to, or higher than that of a "secret wizard" with enough power to influence the spiritual space, as well as a certain amount of luck.

Roger's action of using spiritual connection with "Raziel's Star Compass" just now fulfilled the first condition.

Although the level of "Raziel's Star Compass" is still only a "1" level seal, it once existed as a backup for the resurrection of Mr. "Gate" Bethel Abraham, the quasi-god of the "Gate" path.

Therefore, considering the mystical connection between the two, the status of "Raziel's Star Compass" in this path is far higher than that of ordinary Sequence 3 path seals.

Symbolically speaking, it almost reaches the level of an angel!
With the status suppression of this seal, and Roger's sudden burst of fortune, he finally achieved active intervention in his "exiled" plane and made the result of exile become beneficial to him.

In fact, the idea of this method was related to the knowledge and inspiration Roger had gained from performing the reverse secret ceremony of the "Key to the Door".

Ignoring the shock in Butis's eyes, Roger lowered his head and chuckled softly, then spoke to the "Secret Saint" whose figure was hidden behind the layers of illusory doors:

"You might be curious about how I escaped your 'exile' with my Sequence 5 level?"

"It's not that complicated, you just need to remember one thing..."

Roger's eyelids suddenly lifted up, and an indescribable starlight bloomed on his chest.

"No one in this world knows the 'door' path better than me!"

As Roger finished speaking, all the illusory doors that kept emerging from the void in the square shattered in an instant!
