Sharon, who was wearing a black regal dress, pursed her pale lips, turned her head to glance at Marić, and nodded gently.
Marić clasped his hands and said with a hint of madness, "You should know of the Prisoner pathway, right?"
"Yes, I've heard of it in the Beyonder circle," Klein answered frankly.
Of course, this Beyonder circle refers to the Nighthawks and Tarot … He sighed inwardly as he added.
Of course, this Beyonder circle refers to the Nighthawks and Tarot … He sighed inwardly as he added.
It was unknown what Marić recalled as he fell silent for more than ten seconds. Outside the window, the sound of carriage wheels rolling over the cement road could be heard in a rhythmic manner.
He rubbed his messy brown hair and said with a slightly warped face, "Prisoner refers to a person who is locked up in prison.
"Prisoners refer to people who are locked up in prison. They also represent people whose spirituality and desires are restrained by reason, body, and the world. Beyonders of this Sequence have strong bodies and keen senses. They often have a silent appearance and a crazy heart. They have mastered many criminal techniques and are good at using anything they can get their hands on to kill."
"Its corresponding Sequence 8 is Lunatic. I don't think you're aware of this, because even the orthodox Beyonder organizations of the seven Churches don't know much about this. That secret organization's control over its members far exceeds your imagination. Those nearly twisted fellows seem to be bound physically and spiritually. It's very difficult to obtain any useful information from them just by relying on mediumship and divination."
"Sharron and I had been patient and waiting for a long time before we finally found a way to remove the 'restraint' and escaped successfully.
"As the Beyonders of this pathway are cursed and tend to go crazy, we didn't want to join the seven Churches. That would result in us losing our freedom completely, leaving us with nothing."
So that's how it is … It's no wonder the Nighthawks don't have much information on them. They don't even have the corresponding Sequence 8 and Sequence 7 for Prisoner. That's what I knew back then … Klein replied in enlightenment.
"I really don't know what happens after Prisoner."
Marić didn't nod. He looked at Klein with his brown eyes and continued,
"Compared to a Prisoner, a Lunatic's greatest characteristic is that they can voluntarily sacrifice their rationality and unleash their desires in exchange for strength, allowing them to improve in all aspects. Apart from their minds becoming clouded for a period of time, there aren't too many problems. They might even gain powerful resistance against Beyonder powers that interfere with their thoughts and affect their psyche."
To put it simply, if I kill myself first, you won't be able to kill me … Klein couldn't help but think to himself.
"From this Sequence onwards, the curse will gradually appear. It's easy for a lunatic to lose control," Marić said as his facial muscles twitched.
Isn't that obvious? If a person's mental state was in a trough for an extended period of time, or if there were frequent abnormalities, it would be abnormal if the probability of losing control wasn't higher than other Beyonders! Klein had his own understanding of this as he turned his head to glance at Miss Sharon. He found it hard to imagine what she was like during the Prisoner and Lunatic stages. As for Sharon, she still maintained her ghost-like ethereal state.
Seeing that he didn't say a word, Marić slowly exhaled.
"The Sequence 7 after that is Werewolf."
It's beginning to mutate? However, in the eyes of a normal person, the Prisoner who goes crazy and a lunatic who easily loses his rationality are actually no different from a mutant … Hmm, the Werewolf is actually only Sequence 7. It's a little lower than I expected … Klein's thoughts suddenly wandered.
Marić didn't notice that he was in a daze as he continued, "The Werewolf is already a complete Cursed One.
"The 'werewolf' is already a complete cursed person. Every time the crimson moon turns round, he will lose most of his rationality and grow black fur all over his body. His desire to kill and bloodthirst will reach its peak …"
His voice gradually became a little erratic, as though he was recalling the bitter period of time when he had to endure and suppress himself.
"The Werewolf has relatively strong self-recovery abilities, as well as terrifying strength, agility, and speed. His claws and teeth are in no way inferior to Beyonder weapons of the same Sequence, and they come with poison. He also knows some Darkness-type spells. For example, he can control a target that has been immersed in the Werewolf's poison for a period of time and turn the target into a subordinate, turning them into a monster similar to a werewolf. And such monsters often have very short lifespans …"
After listening to Marić's explanation, Klein gave a pertinent assessment.
At the Sequence 7 level, in terms of actual combat strength, the Werewolf was considered above average.
"The Werewolf who is unable to suppress his bloodlust and bloodlust on the night of the full moon will become colder and more warped. Gradually, he will lose the feelings that normal humans should have," Marić added, unable to hide the pride in his tone.
It matches Mr. Aztec's description of Mutants … Klein subconsciously looked at Miss Sharon again, instinctively imagining her state when she transformed into a werewolf. He almost shivered when he saw the cold look in her eyes. He quickly turned his head away.
Marić subconsciously licked his lips with his tongue. It wasn't the seductive kind, but the kind that gave off a very dangerous feeling.
His eyes seemed to lose focus for a moment, as if he was recalling something.
After a few seconds, he spoke again.
"I'm the corresponding Sequence 6, Zombie."
Zombies … They really look like zombies … No wonder they often play cards with their own kind … So this is also considered a mutant, a real living corpse … Klein thought for a moment.
"I heard from Kaspars that you're not afraid of bullets?"
Marić nodded.
"My body can be as hard as steel. Even if you point a revolver at my head and fire, I will only be stunned at most. You have to hit the same spot at least five times to break my defense."
"And even if it's broken, as long as the head isn't shattered, the other injuries aren't fatal to a Zombie."
"My strength has improved from the foundation of Werewolf, and I've grasped a few death-related spells. I can easily awaken corpses, control ghosts, and command them. I can also skillfully use the Beyonder powers of coldness and decay."
The Mutant pathway also has different characteristics for every Sequence. There are very few progressive changes … Klein pondered for a moment.
"Then, what about the curse of the Zombie?"
Marić clenched his teeth slightly and said, "I crave the warm blood and fresh flesh of humans.
"I will crave the warm blood and fresh flesh of humans. This condition will be especially severe during the full moon. The only consolation is that the 'zombie' curse replaced the 'werewolf' curse and the 'lunatic' curse. They do not exist at the same time, and it will be the same in the future."
"Every time the crimson moon turns round, I'll be in great pain. If I don't give up self-control, I'll be in so much pain that I lose the ability to fight. And if I indulge myself, I'll similarly become less and less human. The risk of losing control is very high."
"Even normally, I'm constantly fighting against the desires in my heart, fighting against the intense malice."
Phew, compared to the Beyonders of this pathway, the others are much better. Uh, except for Abyss and Demoness … Klein suddenly had this thought.
Marić paused and glanced at Sharon, who was wearing a small black bonnet.
Sharon opened her mouth and said in an illusory voice,
"Sequence 5, Wraith."
Resentful spirits? There's such a Sequence? As expected of the Mutant pathway … Klein was first surprised before he felt that it was indeed in line with the characteristic of being able to easily switch between a physical body and a spirit body.
Marić, who had received the hint, added,
"After you become a 'Wraith', you can transform yourself into a real shadow and gain the corresponding abilities. For example, you can pass through obstacles, hide in mirrors, attack the enemy's soul directly, and jump to most places that can reflect images."
"And unlike ordinary wraiths, even with Spirit Vision, it's impossible to discover such shadows without being a High-Sequence Beyonder."
"Yes, a 'Wraith' also grasps many death-related spells. There are many strange techniques, such as forceful possession, controlling enemies …"
"Her curse is that on the night when the crimson moon turns round, she will either consume a certain number of human souls or become extremely weak. Choosing the former means that she is constantly on the verge of losing control."
Without waiting for Klein to speak, the similarly pale Sharon suddenly said, "Our target is also a 'Wraith.'"
"Our target is also a 'Wraith.'"
"The Beyonder powers of Zombie, Werewolf, Lunatic, and Prisoner will not be lost due to advancement," Marić emphasized.
Sounds like a type that's very effective against me. I'm afraid that pistol bullets won't be effective, and ordinary flames won't be able to cause great damage … To put it simply, I'm afraid of ghosts … Klein felt his heart pound when he heard that.
He thought for a few seconds.
"What's the effect of that sealed item?"
"Why would it restrain you?"
It actually made you willing to tell me the weakness of your curse … Klein had a rough guess.
Marić replied with a slightly gloomy expression.
"The cursed item that needs to be sealed is called the Scarlet Lunar Corona."
"It can create an effect similar to the full moon within a certain range. To those who are already cold and twisted, it's a boost in strength. However, we will become weak and lose our ability to fight. If … if I were to give up on myself, I'd rather choose death!" Marić growled in a hoarse voice.
I didn't expect that a guy like you, who looks a little perverted and cowardly, would actually be someone with perseverance. Yes, it's indeed impressive to be able to persist all the way to a Zombie … Klein didn't interrupt as he listened to the subsequent description.
"The wearer of the Scarlet Lunar Corona is immune to the effects of the full moon, and they will obtain terrifying speed, unimaginable recovery abilities, as well as many powerful Darkness-type spells. However, it will gradually make the wearer's blood turn cold and freeze bit by bit. If it isn't stopped in time or if the blood of a living person is sucked, the wearer will eventually die from all the blood turning into frost." Marić seemed rather afraid of the sealed item.
After he finished speaking, Sharon's blue eyes calmly looked at Klein.
"There's also Zombie Jason and Werewolf Tyre with Steve."
"But as long as we can deal with Steve, they won't be a problem."
