Upon seeing a young man dressed in a black trench coat and holding an iron-black revolver descend from the crimson moon, Qonas Kilgor, who was no stranger to important figures in the World, immediately responded.
His left hand, which held the iron-skinned pocket watch, moved his thumb rapidly, reaching for one of the few metal buttons that were messily embedded at the top of the pocket watch. He raised his right arm abruptly and aimed the six gray barrels that formed a circle at German Sparrow.
This process was like the sparks from the collision of metals. It quickly ended, and Qonas Kilgor's left thumb ultimately didn't press down.
He overcame his conditioned reflex and didn't directly use the Concerto of Light and Shadow's "Prohibition."
This was because he didn't know much about German Sparrow and didn't know what he was best at. Furthermore, someone with German Sparrow's looks might not necessarily be German Sparrow. Blindly "Prohibition" would only be a waste of an opportunity.
He planned on observing and waiting a little longer so that he could formulate a more targeted law and distort the rules.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The strange revolver let out a scream of despair as it spewed out a black and cold storm of bullets, instantly enveloping the enemy under the crimson moon.
At this moment, German Sparrow's figure suddenly turned transparent, turning incorporeal.
At the same time, the bullets that arrived tore through the target in the black trench coat, tearing apart the afterimage he left behind.
And behind Qonas Kilgor, the cold-faced German Sparrow suddenly appeared. His body was half-hunched as he leaned forward. The black top hat on his head was dyed with a hint of blood under the crimson moonlight.
He suddenly raised the iron-black long-barreled revolver in his hand, and as he took aim, he opened his mouth slightly and touched the trigger.
Bang!
To Qonas Kilgor's right, the floorboard exploded as countless fragments splattered.
German Sparrow's shot was ridiculously off target, and its destructive power was clearly lacking.
This was the Earl of The Fallen's "Distortion." It deviated the trajectory of the bullet and reduced its might.
Seizing this opportunity, Qonas Kilgor "Disrupted" the measurement of distance and arrived at the bedroom's balcony in one step.
Then, he half-turned his body and pressed one of the metal buttons on the iron pocket watch in his hand. He then solemnly said, "Don't worry, Don't worry.
"Teleportation is prohibited here!"
Without a sound, Maygur Manor, which was illuminated by the gigantic crimson moon, underwent some unknown change. After firing the shot, the German Sparrow, whose body had quickly faded, appeared in the void again.
He did not succeed in changing positions.
Concerto of Light and Shadow, Forbidden!
To Qonas Kilgor, regardless of what German Sparrow was good at, since he could Teleport, he had to immediately Stop him. An enemy who could Teleport at a high frequency without any gaps was not only annoying, but dangerous!
Realizing that his "teleportation" had failed, the German Sparrow's expression did not change. His figure quickly distorted, and all the colors faded, leaving only deep black.
This "Deep Darkness" suddenly collapsed and spread out on the ground. It merged with the shadows in the areas where the moonlight couldn't reach, and it was difficult to distinguish them from each other.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. The spot where German Sparrow had been standing was riddled with bullet holes, tearing through the floor.
Rumble!
That place immediately collapsed, revealing the room below, but no dust rose up.
And amidst this commotion, Maygur Manor remained shrouded in deep shadows. No one was jolted awake, and there was no echo.
Qonas Kilgor resisted the urge to immediately "Forbid" him from hiding in the shadows. With Rever's Shout of Despair and Concerto of Light and Shadow in hand, he calmly observed his surroundings, waiting for German Sparrow to appear again and launch an attack.
However, in the dilapidated room, the shadows were silent without any movement. And outside the window, the steeple and chimney were still covered in a cold black. The gigantic crimson moon seemed to hang above the roof.
The plants in the garden, the distant grapevines, and all sorts of classical windows seemed to have degenerated into the background in such a night. Despite being visible to the naked eye, they didn't even shake.
The entire Maygur Manor was cold, dark, and silent. It was as though it had been forgotten in a corner that no one paid attention to or discovered. There was no vitality to speak of.
As a demigod and an important figure in the World of Intelligence, Qonas Kilgor quickly had a guess about this. He suspected that it had something to do with the authority of concealment.
This made him make many connections, but German Sparrow still hadn't appeared.
He actually didn't launch a sneak attack, and he even gave up on the opportunity to strike continuously, leaving me with so many openings … Doesn't he know how difficult it is to deal with a High-Sequence Lawyer or Arbiter once they make sufficient preparations in the early stages of battle? Qonas Kilgor was puzzled.
His observation of his surroundings and his relatively relaxed state allowed him to quickly recognize his situation. He understood that defeating the enemy, German Sparrow, wasn't the key. Escaping this strange and secretive World was the key.
If I can't leave this place, there might be other dangers in the future!
As long as I can escape this dark Maygur Manor, even if an angel were to descend, I wouldn't need to be that afraid in Baekeland … And in such a man-made secretive World, there has to be an exit. This is a rule that can't be circumvented in mysticism … Using and twisting rules is what demigods of the Lawyer pathway are best at! Amidst all sorts of thoughts, Qonas Kilgor quickly made a decision.
He suddenly turned around and jumped up from the balcony, moving as fast as a spring.
This military demigod jumped to a high place, but he didn't slow down or show any signs of falling.
Maintaining this speed, he went higher and higher until he actually flew up into the sky.
Earl of The Fallen, "Exploitation!"
This was an "exploitation" of the rules. It prolonged the process of taking off, allowing him to maintain his speed for a long time.
If Qonas Kilgor could become a Sequence 2 angel, he could even use this Beyonder power to jump from the ground to the crimson moon.
As he jumped into the air, Qonas Kilgor swung his right arm and activated the Beyonder power, "Chaos."
He wanted to use the entire Maygur Manor and the strange World as his target. He wanted to create a certain amount of "Chaos," using this to create a temporary ripple and expose the true exit.
In an instant, the flowers and grape vines in the background of Maygur Manor began to sway. The dark steeple, chimneys, and classical windows also lost the feeling of being shrouded by shadows.
In the entire World, only the gigantic crimson moon that was right in front of him didn't change at all. It continued hanging there silently.
It was the exit! Qonas Kilgor grasped a pattern from the chaos, and based on the feedback, he determined where he should leave.
Without any hesitation, he exerted strength from his waist and used the Beyonder power of Magnification to forcefully change his direction, allowing himself to run towards the bright red moon.
At this moment, a person grew out of the shadows in front of Maygur Manor's main building. It was the cold-looking German Sparrow in a black trench coat and half top hat.
Whoosh!
A strong wind appeared out of nowhere, sweeping German Sparrow upwards as he chased after Qonas Kilgor.
Amidst the wind, German Sparrow raised the iron-black revolver in his right hand and pulled the trigger.
Bang!
A bullet flew out and exploded into countless fragments.
They then transformed into a storm that completely enveloped the area where Qonas Kilgor was.
Death Knell, Carnage, a sweep of grapeshot bullets!
Almost at the same time, Qonas Kilgor changed his direction without any warning. He went from running towards the moon to plummeting straight down.
As such, he managed to dodge the storm of bullets, as though he was prepared.
No, it wasn't that he was prepared. He was already prepared! Although his main goal was to escape the mutated Maygur Manor, he was still worried that German Sparrow would take the opportunity to attack him. Therefore, he came up with a simple trap. He planned on using his escape as bait to fish out the hidden German Sparrow and first injure or even severely injure him.
Halfway through his descent, Qonas Kilgor's figure suddenly bounced back, once again "Distorting" the direction he was heading in.
This time, his destination was the "next stop" on the German Sparrow's flight path!
Right on the heels of that, he forcefully pulled the pocket watch back with his left hand and grabbed the German Sparrow through the air, pulling him from dozens of meters away to him.
Earl of The Fallen, Magnify!
Whoosh!
Amidst the howling wind, Qonas Kilgor grabbed the clothes in front of German Sparrow's chest and pressed the strange pistol in his right hand against it.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Rever's Shout of Despair shot out countless bullets like a machine gun, instantly tearing Gehrman Sparrow's body apart, turning it into pieces of paper that flew everywhere.
Qonas Kilgor's gaze froze slightly as he immediately moved his left thumb and pressed one of the metal buttons on his pocket watch.
Amidst the clicking sounds, the Earl of The Fallen didn't hesitate to say sternly,
"Substitutes are prohibited here!"
The moment he said that, the howling wind in midair stopped. Maygur Manor regained its silence and was once again enveloped by the dark shadows.
Qonas Kilgor changed his direction and began circling in midair in search of German Sparrow. However, the night froze without any abnormalities.
The Earl of The Fallen deliberated for a moment and prepared to continue running towards the gigantic crimson moon.
At this moment, figures grew out, grew taller, and rapidly took form in the garden, vineyard, and manor's main house.
They had black hair, brown eyes, and deep facial features. They wore silk top hats and black trench coats. They were all German Sparrow!
The only difference was that some of them had normal shapes, while others had sunken backs. Some were slightly bloated, while others only had a thin layer.
Upon seeing this scene, Qonas Kilgor immediately recalled a dangerous enemy he had once encountered.
One of the secret leaders of the Intis intelligence department.
A Bizarro Sorcerer!
