The blood-stained spear that seemed to have appeared in an ancient era that couldn't be traced back absorbed all the sense of existence in the room and stabbed at Saint of Secrets Boutis.
The brown-haired Boutis's figure suddenly turned incorporeal, turning into a pair of black double doors.
At the same time, he appeared behind the "door," looking at the terrifying spear from afar in a different World.
In the next instant, the spear that was stained with dark red blood pierced through the black door and penetrated the space where Boutis was.
Boutis's figure kept retreating as he constantly transformed, turning into one virtual door after another. Some of them were formed by two curved stone golems, while others had a fist-sized hole beside the door's seam. Some had silver nails embedded in them, while others were covered in mysterious patterns. They came one after another, overlapping each other in an endless number.
Silently, the Spear of Longinus constantly pierced through the illusory doors without stopping at all. It didn't give Saint of Secrets Boutis a chance to escape.
In less than a second, the blood-stained spear that emitted a strong aura of destruction shattered countless illusory doors. After its aura clearly decreased, it finally stabbed into its target's chest.
Boutis's body instantly cracked with countless cracks, as though he was a ceramic object that had fallen to the ground.
With a crack, the Saint of Secrets turned pitch-black and disintegrated into pieces that scattered to the ground.
This didn't seem like his actual body, but more like his shadow.
This was the Shadow Substitution Spell he had "Recorded" from a Sequence 3 saint under the True Creator.
Of course, if not for the layers of "doors" weakening the Spear of Longinus, Boutis felt that it was very likely that his shadow would shatter along with his body.
After narrowly dodging the attack, Boutis endured the dizziness in his head and the impact brought about by Cattleya's incomplete Mythical Creature form. He condensed a scaleless silver snake in his eyes.
This giant snake was so huge that it filled up Boutis's eyes. There were dense patterns and symbols on its surface, forming one mysterious wheel after another.
Its head and tail were connected, intersecting with countless illusory rivers, evolving into a blurry, unreal, and slowly turning giant wheel. Around the wheel, there were all kinds of symbols representing different futures.
Suddenly, the pitch-black fragments on the ground that had yet to disappear flew up one by one and reformed into Boutis.
The Lance of Longinus that was stained with dark red blood rapidly retreated from the illusory doors that were rapidly forming until it returned to the distorted "black blob."
The terrifying aura receded like the tide and left the room.
The 'black blob' that was full of cracks and eyeballs wriggled and recovered, turning back into the woman wearing a dark hood and a purple patterned black robe.
Everything had returned to before the Ugly Duckling was cast.
[Fate Reset]!
This was one of the rewards that Saint of Secrets Boutis had received for subverting the House of Abraham. It was a Sequence 1 Beyonder power that he had "Recorded" from the Angel of Fate Ouroboros.
Of course, this was definitely very different from the original version. It could only "Reboot" reality for three seconds, and it could only "Reboot" a room that was connected to the ground. It couldn't even affect the entire first floor of the apartment.
The moment the "Reboot" ended, Saint Tenebrous Kesma, who was already prepared, immediately took action.
The distorted shadow that was a Sanguine Earl that he had Grazed opened its arms and made a gesture of hugging the crimson moon.
The darkness around Cattleya surged, instantly forming illusory but solid black chains that bound her firmly to the spot.
The flesh and blood that covered the ground, walls, and ceiling gathered together, turning into a knight that was covered in black armor and wielding a heavy greatsword. It gave off an extremely oppressive feeling.
In the gap between the Black Knight's visor, two blobs of crimson light flickered slightly, instantly locking onto the hooded woman beside the pumpkin carriage.
The shadow beneath Cattleya's feet suddenly came to life. It grabbed her ankle and, like a torrent of water, bound her tightly.
Black Knight, Shadow Domination!
Then, the gigantic knight that was almost touching the ceiling took a step forward and rushed to a spot that wasn't far from its target. It cleaved down with the long, wide, and heavy greatsword in its hand.
On the other side, Saint of Secrets Boutis's eyes had a silver-white illusory book flipping rapidly before it stopped on one of the pages.
Boutis then extended his left hand, and from a distance of twenty to thirty meters, he grabbed at the pumpkin carriage and the mysterious woman in the purple-patterned black robe.
His arm suddenly elongated. Its surface was pitch-black and sticky, as though it was flowing with an evil liquid.
Amidst the liquid, pale-white skulls grew out. Eyeballs with obvious blood vessels grew out, tongues with sharp teeth grew out, and all sorts of strange things grew out. It made the feeling of extreme evil and madness rapidly spread.
Inside the room, the ground instantly cracked. The few cockroaches that were still alive stiffened and died.
This was an attack from a particular state of Abomination Suah!
Back outside Bayam City, Saint of Secrets Boutis had been attracted by Tinder. He had seemingly watched from the sidelines for a while before picking up the items and leaving. But in fact, he had been desperately "Recording" the abilities or states of high-level existences.
After many failures, due to fate's favor, he finally obtained what he wanted. Of course, during that exchange, he only had the time to "Record" one.
Under the evil, pitch-black arm, Cattleya's consciousness was tainted with madness. She was momentarily unable to respond effectively.
Coupled with the shackles of darkness and the restraints of her shadow, she could only stand rooted to the ground. She watched helplessly as Saint Tenebrous Kesma's greatsword slashed at her, as well as Saint of Secrets Boutis's left hand grab at her.
At this moment, an invisible wind suddenly blew in the room that no longer had a wall of flesh and blood separating the inside and outside.
The moment the wind appeared, it became violent as it swept towards the Saint of Secrets and Saint Tenebrous's minds.
Manipulator, Psionic Storm.
Faced with the mental influence that was mixed with numerous thoughts, not only did Boutis not feel alarmed or flustered, but he even curled the corners of his lips and revealed a smile.
As the switch to "reboot," he naturally remembered that the demigod who rode the pumpkin carriage had a helper of the same level. She was hiding somewhere outside the dilapidated apartment.
The reason why he still focused on the enemy on the surface was to lure out the hidden demigod!
In the interval between the Reboot of Fate and the Abomination state, Boutis had secretly hypnotized himself, allowing him to naturally split up most of the Worms of Star to bear the brunt of Mind Deprivation or the information torrent. He would leave a small portion to control his body and lock onto the "invisible" enemy.
The Dragon's Might from before and the fact that he couldn't discover the target made Boutis believe that there was a demigod of the Spectator pathway lurking.
Amidst his paralyzed thoughts, a few tiny pathways rapidly circulated, helping Boutis find the source of the attack.
But at this moment, most of the thoughts that resounded in the Worms of Star weren't as meaningless as he had imagined.
In his mind, there seemed to be a voice saying thousands of words in a second:
"At the bottom of an abandoned castle in Delaire Forest, there's a pair of double bronze doors. It seals the corruption of the underground. The higher a Sequence is, the easier it is to be affected …
"The cosmos is extremely dangerous. There are unknown existences watching …
"Dark Angel is suspected to be a negative personality separated from the ancient Sun god …
"…"
What? Boutis was taken aback for a moment. He felt that these thoughts were dangerous, and he couldn't help but want to understand them further.
In this moment of surprise, the enemy he had already found vanished once again, escaping his range of attention. As for the Abomination palm that was grabbing at the pumpkin carriage and the female demigod, it also slowed down.
Similarly, Saint Tenebrous Kesma was also affected by the "Mind Storm" as his actions stiffened for a second.
By the time they recovered, Cattleya had already opened her mouth and spat out a pea.
The pea instantly grew, turning into thick green vines that dragged Cattleya out the door, allowing her to escape the shackles of darkness and regain a certain degree of freedom of movement.
By the time Saint Tenebrous's heavy greatsword and the Saint of Secrets's pitch-black arm landed on her, all they did was shatter her shadow without injuring the Mysticologist.
At that moment, Cattleya was the Emperor's New Clothes. She was something that didn't exist at all, so she naturally wasn't injured!
In the next second, the purple-patterned black-robed lady with a dark-colored hood suddenly turned transparent as she turned into a pile of bubbles.
The bubbles quickly dispersed and burst one after another, leaving nothing behind. As for the green vines, they grew into midair as they ignited into flames, illuminating the surrounding streets.
Everything returned to silence. It was as though the short and intense demigod-level battle had never happened.
Saint of Secrets Boutis and Saint Tenebrous Kesma exchanged looks, unsurprised by this development.
Clearly, after the ambush failed, the two enemy demigods were at a disadvantage. They were no longer able to achieve their goals, and this was Baekeland. The longer this dragged on, the more dangerous it would be. Therefore, they seized the opportunity to escape.
In addition, in order to interfere with the pursuit, they had deliberately created a huge commotion to attract the official factions of Baekeland.
As for Leymano's Travels and the Sequence 7 or 6 Apprentice pathway Beyonder, they were all bait that could be abandoned.
After nodding slightly, Saint of Secrets Boutis took out a crystal ball from a secret pocket in his black robe. He let it glow and quickly shattered, fusing into the void.
He was preventing the pursuit of mysticism domains.
He indeed didn't dare to stay any longer. He planned on "Teleporting" away and returning to the Aurora Order headquarters. Then, he would "interrogate" the bait and figure out the truth before deciding what to do next.
A second later, Boutis's figure rapidly turned transparent and vanished. Saint Tenebrous Kesma entered the shadows and rapidly left, constantly removing any traces along the way.
