Lord of Mysteries: The Color of the Stars

Chapter 83 Sharon's End

"Pfft!"

Mrs. Sharon spat out a mouthful of blood mist. At that moment, she subconsciously tried to use the "Wand Substitute" and the "Mirror Substitute," but was surprised to find that she had lost her occult connection with all the mirrors and the wand on her body.

In fact, not only can she use curses, but Mr. Z, as the "Rose Bishop," can also use flesh and blood to cast curses!

Under the influence of this curse, Sharon lost her ability to use a Stand, which also meant that her life was about to come to an end.

But she could never understand how Mr. Z and that ordinary-looking man, who didn't even seem to be a mid-sequence extraordinary individual, managed to do it.

In fact, it was all very simple. Julian had given "Chris Jacob's Ring" to Mr. Z in advance, and since he was already under the control of the "Starry Night" pollution, he was basically unaffected by the hallucinatory side effects of the ring.

Using the illusions created by "mental interference," he first deceived Mrs. Sharon by "mind misdirection," making her believe, after using the substitute twice, that she had removed the flesh and blood of the "Rose Bishop" from her body through "curse," thus avoiding the possibility of being cursed in reverse.

Later, Mrs. Sharon even saw Mr. Z's corpse in her hallucination, but she did not expect that the messenger of the "Aurora Society" was not dead at all, but delivered a fatal blow to her at the critical moment, while activating the "Curse of Flesh and Blood" and cutting off the possibility of Mrs. Sharon's substitute.

All of this requires a certain amount of luck, and fortunately Julian's luck wasn't bad today.

As Mr. Z's left arm, which had transformed into a bone and blood sword, was pulled out, Mrs. Sharon finally collapsed to the ground with a "thud," dead beyond any doubt.

After doing all this, Julian went out into the night and skillfully emptied the entire magazine of bullets in his revolver.

As before, he did this to lure the police in, so that he could ensure Ince Zangwell wouldn't use his "gatekeeper" ability to ambush him.

With Mr. Z protecting him while he waits, Julian's chances of survival are maximized.

While there are certain risks involved, given the existence of "Starry Night," there is a high probability that Ince will not act rashly.

Julian plopped down on the ground, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

After resting for a while, he used divination to confirm that the police were only about 10 minutes away from him, and then nodded to Mr. Z.

Without hesitation, the latter used a longsword made of his own flesh and blood to cut off his own head and died.

Only then did Julian remove "Lina's Pain Mask".

To be honest, he actually felt quite regretful, since having a Sequence 6 Extraordinary fighting for him would undoubtedly give him more confidence when facing Ince Zangwell in the future.

However, considering that Lanius had removed the "Starry Night" contamination in an unknown way, Julian decided to eliminate Mr. Z as a precaution.

As a result, all three main participants in the "Advent of the Sons of Gods" incident—Sirius Arepius, Mr. Z, and Hynas Vancent—besides Ince Zangwill and Lanruus, are now dead.

This was undoubtedly a major blow to Ince; Julian had wiped out all the cards he knew in Tingen.

Unless a new wild mid-sequence extraordinary individual appears in Tingen, it will be difficult for Ince to do anything useful without personally getting involved.

Thinking of this, Julian couldn't help but think of Mr. "White".

Through his investigation of the Antigonus family's ruins, Julian had a vague idea that the reason why this "Master of Puppets" brought his two Sequence 7 subordinates to Tingen City was not only to retrieve the Antigonus family's notes, but also because some kind of hidden power within the ruins had summoned them.

Julian is currently unsure who issued the summons, or what their purpose might be.

However, regardless of the circumstances, there still seems to be traces of manipulation by 0-08 in this matter.

Thinking of this, Julian felt a chill run down his spine.

He immediately used his remaining spiritual energy to activate "Starry Night" once again—he was terrified that he might be ambushed by Mr. "White" who might be lurking in the shadows, and then turned into a puppet.

At this moment, the extraordinary characteristics of Mrs. Sharon and Mr. Z were finally revealed one after the other.

Julian took a deep breath, and with great excitement, he used a pre-prepared container to collect the extraordinary characteristics of the two before heading outside against the night wind.

"Don't move! Who goes there?"

A group of police officers who had just arrived pointed their guns at Julian, who was waiting on the street, as if facing a formidable enemy, and shouted.

Julian raised his hands: "Don't shoot, we're on the same side."

"One of our own?"

The lead officer asked, puzzled.

"Julian Albrecht, Special Expert Advisor to Group 7 of the Ahowa County Police Department."

Julian said, tossing his gun license over.

The next morning, Blackthorn Security Company.

All the "night watchmen" who had been busy all night, along with Julie's security department, crowded outside Dunn's office.

They took turns reporting on everything they had experienced and done from the previous day until now, with Julian being the last to be called in.

"—You mean, you chased Mr. Z all the way to Olsner Street and just happened to see him fighting with Mrs. Sharon?"

""

Dunn looked at Julian with a suspicious expression.

"Yes, every word is true."

Julian nodded sincerely: "If you don't believe me, I can swear to the goddess."

"—Never mind, let's leave it at that for now."

Dunn shook his head. Considering Julian's previous actions, he knew that the guy must have done something behind it all.

In addition, Julian had previously mentioned that he had a hidden plan, which he had reported to the "Goddess of Night" through ritual magic.

Considering that a divine messenger from the Aurora Society and a Sequence 6 member from the Witch Cult were eliminated in this incident, and many lower-ranking members of the Aurora Society also perished, Dunn did not want to delve any further into Julian's matter.

After all, this was undoubtedly a great achievement. Earlier, the Holy Church had sent a telegram praising the Night Watchers of Tingen for their contributions to the incident.

The only regret was that the mysterious member of the "Aurora Society" riding in the carriage escaped, and until the very end, Dunn and the others were unsure who was sitting in the carriage.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing I need to tell you, Dunn."

Julian was silent for a moment before speaking, "I probably won't be coming to Blackthorn Security Company for a while."

"Don't contact me first. I'll come back after I finish what I'm doing."
