Against a Beyonder creature like the six-winged gargoyle, which had a sturdy body and wasn't afraid of lightning strikes, Alger knew that he didn't have any good solutions other than the Sailor pathway's Raging Strike.
Of course, the "singing" that resonated with the other party's auditory organs and Body of Heart and Mind was definitely the most effective one. If he were to encounter it elsewhere, Alger would definitely circle around the six-winged gargoyle and influence it with his "singing" to affect it while using sharp wind blades to attack the same spot. Through the accumulation of damage and the stacking of time, he could slowly grind the enemy to death.
However, he was now in the tomb, and the environment was restricted. Once he avoided a frontal assault, the six-winged gargoyle would definitely turn towards the German Sparrow and attack him with a stone halberd that was seven to eight meters long, preventing the crazy adventurer from obtaining the opportunity to finish off the three deceased. And most importantly, Alger suspected that the effect his "singing" had on the German Sparrow might be even greater than the six-winged gargoyle's.
Bang!
The stone halberd slammed heavily into the ground, creating an exaggerated crater. It caused the entire tomb to shake as though there was an earthquake. As for Alger, he didn't forcefully block it. Instead, with the strong winds around him, he leaned to the right and leaped up, nimbly dodging the six-winged gargoyle's attack and charging straight for the monster's head.
At that moment, he saw the pair of burning grayish-white eyes.
Alger's thoughts turned sluggish as his body instantly stiffened. He felt like he had been petrified once again, but the grayish-white color didn't surface or spread across his skin again.
Under the effects of inertia, he continued leaping up, but he didn't have the time to swing his dagger. He slammed straight into the six-winged gargoyle's head and flew backward with a thud, his entire body aching.
His eyes reflected the heavy grayish-white halberd again, but his thoughts were sluggish, preventing him from making an effective response.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed his shoulder and pulled him to the side.
Bang!
Rocks flew as sparks flew. The six-winged gargoyle's heavy halberd smashed open another huge crater in the ground.
Alger's body trembled as his vision became clear once again. His thoughts quickly returned to normal.
It was as if he had finally woken up from a nightmare that he could not resist and regained control of his body.
Only then did he realize that German Sparrow had somehow appeared beside him. In the corner where the three dead were, there were remnants of electricity, sizzling.
"Don't look it in the eye. Attack its chest," Klein reminded his companions while pulling Alger to move quickly to avoid the stone halberd.
Alger had personally experienced and witnessed many battles, so he didn't need German Sparrow to explain anything to understand what he was trying to express. He immediately got rid of the help and nimbly circled to the side of the six-winged gargoyle.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
He ran towards the six-winged gargoyle with large strides. Only when the stone halberd swung at him did he suddenly soar high into the air to avoid the attack.
Wu!
Another hurricane pushed Alger toward the six-winged gargoyle's chest.
During this process, he closed his eyes and pulled back his right arm, causing the corresponding muscles to swell up one by one.
Then, based on his judgment of distance as a Seafarer, he swung his right fist that was clenched tightly with a short blade.
Whistling wind blades and sizzling lightning appeared at the same time as his fist shot forward.
Bang!
Alger's right fist struck the six-winged gargoyle's chest heavily, producing an explosive effect. It first caused the grayish-white stone to be covered in fine cracks. Silver-white lightning bolts leaped before it cracked open and turned into a pit!
Kacha, his dagger immediately exploded, turning into pieces that flew in all directions.
The powerful rebound sent Alger flying backward. In midair, he saw from the corner of his eye that the silk top hat-wearing German Sparrow had circled to the front of him at some point in time and pulled the trigger.
Right on the heels of that, the cold adventurer suddenly raised his hand and aimed the dark muzzle at the six-winged gargoyle.
Bang!
Amidst the loud echo, a bullet pierced through the pit in the gargoyle's chest.
A rumbling sound erupted as the grayish-white stone monster's body shook violently a few times. The burning flames in its eyes quickly extinguished.
After a brief pause, it fell forward like a collapsing mountain, creating an exaggerated sound and earthquake-like shaking.
Death Knell sounded. It was a fatal blow!
At this moment, Alger had just maintained his balance and stabilized his body with the help of the wind.
Klein didn't speak to him, nor did he search for his spoils of war. He turned around and faced the charred ground where Aztec's copper whistle lay silently.
Slippery tentacles covered in "fish scales" moved, and a dead person that had lost half its body stood up. There were bolts of lightning snaking across its body.
It was the dignified, rash, and tyrannical dead person. It was originally wearing a tattered brown jacket and a pirate captain's hat. Now, it had lost its left arm, right leg, and half its head. The surface of its body was covered in charred and melted marks.
But even so, it didn't sleep in peace. It was still attempting to fuse with the surrounding flesh and blood to enter a more powerful state.
After all, Klein had just used Lightning Storm, which he had recorded from the Sea God Scepter. Even if it had been weakened due to the recording, it was definitely a genuine demigod-level Beyonder power. From the fact that the other two dead people didn't even grunt before completely calming down, it was obvious how powerful it was!
There's something wrong with this awakened dead person … Klein's heart stirred as he immediately made Señor jump onto the smooth surface of Aztec's copper whistle. Then, he attempted to reflect it on the "fish scales" of the dead person's slippery tentacles.
At this moment, through his marionette, Klein felt a violent, high-level repulsive force. The Wraith was unable to possess him!
Señor even bounced back, revealing his body uncontrollably.
Upon seeing this, Alger didn't ask why. He raised his hands and created a swirling wind around the dead person in a bid to restrain its actions. However, the wind didn't sweep inwards as though it was afraid of something. It forcefully spread outwards and quickly vanished.
The only thing worth rejoicing over was that the dead person didn't immediately attack the duo. Instead, it jumped to the left and bent down in an attempt to pick up Aztec's copper whistle.
Klein immediately shook his left hand, making Leymano's Travels accurately flip to the page with the Abyss Shackles.
This was a Beyonder power recorded by Emlyn. It belonged to Sequence 7 Vampire.
As Klein held Death Knell with his right hand and slid it across the notebook, the shadows around the dead person suddenly came alive, transforming into chains that bound it firmly to its spot.
Taking advantage of his opponent's momentary pause, Klein raised his revolver without any expression, turned the cylinder, and pulled the hammer.
Different colors immediately appeared in his vision — red, green, and ghastly white.
Aiming at the ghastly white, Klein pulled the trigger.
Bang!
A pale gold beam flew into the remaining half of the dead person's head, causing it to explode into a rain of blood. At the same time, the purifying bullet emitted a light that resembled the Sun, illuminating the target's entire body.
The dead person melted like a candle, and as it bent its back and lost its balance, it collapsed beside Aztec's copper whistle.
A monster that doesn't have any intelligence and only acts on instinct is much easier to deal with than a Beyonder of the same level … However, do I let down Aztec's copper whistle? Ever since it was given to me, it suffered an explosion, a baptism of lightning, and the purification of sunlight. It hasn't been easy … Klein repented for a second before controlling Señor to pick up the ancient and exquisite copper whistle and stuff it into his body.
He didn't go over directly, afraid that another dead person would awaken. Therefore, he continued letting Señor, his marionette, search for the fellow who had resisted the possession.
Klein suspected that the dead person had a rather high-level item on him!
Soon, Señor, who wasn't in the form of a Wraith, touched something and pulled it out.
It was a card!
On the front of the card was a man wearing a triple crown with his hands raised high. In front of him were believers prostrating themselves, and behind him were lightning, dark clouds, strong winds, and waves!
Klein was very familiar with this man's appearance because he had a portrait of him in another attire.
This was Rosell The Great!
And on the top left of the pontiff's Rosell portrait, the resplendent starlight condensed into a line of text:
"Sequence 0: Tyrant!"
The Card of Blasphemy of the Storm pathway, the Tyrant card? Klein instantly thought of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom's title for the Lord of Storms.
Tyrant!
Alger also saw the Card of Blasphemy as his gaze froze. Flames of greed burned in his eyes.
He took a deep breath, forced himself to look away, and said to the side, "Don't worry.
He looked to the side and said, "The battle just now was very intense. Perhaps something deep in this cathedral has been awakened by us. Therefore, we have to quickly pick up the items and be prepared to evacuate at any time."
Mr. The Hanging Man, do you think I'm not aware of this problem? There's no need for you to be so long-winded. What happened to the tacit understanding we had? Heh, indeed, the Tyrant card has affected you. It makes you unable to calm down and become talkative … As Klein made Wraith Señor put away the Card of Blasphemy and enter the body of one of the dead to speed up the extraction of the Beyonder characteristic, he said coldly, "You've already wasted five seconds.
"You've already wasted five seconds."
Alger was taken aback and didn't say anything else. He walked to the remains of the six-winged gargoyle and first dug out its eyes that were glowing with red light. Then, he patiently waited for a while before reaching into its shattered back and pulling out a grayish-white translucent crystal.
On the other side, under the Wraith's ability, the dead man whose body was covered in yellowish-green pus had precipitated a mass of brown "soil". The soil had roots and hidden "blood vessels", which looked quite strange.
Without wasting time guessing which pathway or Sequence it belonged to, Klein directly got Señor to put it away. He then turned to the dead body whose slippery tentacles were still twitching slightly, speeding up the extraction of its Beyonder characteristic.
Seeing that a blob of jellyfish-like blue seawater was about to take form, Klein and Alger suddenly heard a drawn-out voice:
"Sigh …"
This sigh came from the deepest depths of the cathedral, bringing with it an indescribable sense of vicissitudes.
