After the person came out of the grave, he looked no different from a living person. With Truth Listener's ability, it was impossible to tell if he was human.
Crack!
The tombstone shattered and the mask embedded in the tombstone floated up and floated in front of the man.
The man glanced at the mask and muttered to himself, "Is it finally going to begin again?"
With that said, he picked up the mask and slowly placed it on his face. The strange mask stuck to his face as though it had fused with his face.
It didn't look like he was wearing a mask. Instead, it was as though the mask had grown on his face to begin with. The feeling was extremely strange.
After the man put on the mask, Zhou Wen immediately felt his body regain its freedom. It was the same for Lance and company.
"I'll ask and you will answer. Now, you can speak. The rules here won't kill you for speaking," the masked man said calmly.
"Who … Who are you?" Lance stared at the masked man and asked.
Although he couldn't move previously, he clearly had the ability to observe the masked man's face. He was more puzzled than anyone else why the masked man's appearance was identical to his.
"Are you Frod's descendant?" The masked man didn't answer his question and instead asked.
"That's right. We are all Frod's descendants. Who are you?" Gaiman stared at the masked man and asked.
"None of you are. Only he is." The masked man slowly raised his hand and pointed at Lance with his index finger.
"What do you mean?" Lance stared intently at the masked man.
"Frod and I had an agreement. He would give me his descendant, and you are his descendant," the masked man said.
Although his words were strange, Zhou Wen believed him. This was because Lance shouldn't have come to this operation.
Lance had never contracted a Mythical Companion Beast before and had just been injured. Coupled with his special identity, it didn't seem like he should have come here to take the risk.
However, Frod had gotten Lance to participate in this operation. For this, he had even specially contracted a Mythical Companion Beast for him.
Zhou Wen originally imagined that Frod was trying to train Lance and give him more experience. That was why he had gotten him to carry out this mission.
From the looks of it, it wasn't that simple. Perhaps the masked man's words were true.
"What are you talking about? There was no such thing. We are all Frod's blood relatives. Even if he really has a deal with you, it shouldn't be Lance. "Gaiman shielded Lance behind him, but his expression was somewhat odd.
Although Gaiman's words were very firm, he was as doubtful as Zhou Wen.
"No, you aren't. The bloodline in your bodies is only the bloodline of a human, Frod. It's meaningless to me. Only he has the bloodline of a non-human Frod. It's the body I need," said the masked man.
"Nonsense. He's my grandson, and I'm Frod's son. In terms of bloodline, I'm naturally closer to Frod. Who are you? Why did you fabricate these lies? "Gaiman summoned his Companion Beasts and gestured for Lance and company to retreat, hoping to leave the garden.
"The bloodline I mentioned might be a little different from what you understand, but it doesn't matter. From the looks of it, Frod doesn't plan on offering him to me." As the masked man spoke, his gaze shifted to Zhou Wen. "From the looks of it, in order to exchange for his bloodline, he has prepared a better body for me."
When the masked man first spoke, Zhou Wen had already realized that he might have been scammed by Frod. Now that he heard the masked man's words, there was no doubt that he had indeed been scammed.
"Who are you?" Lance stared at the masked man and asked again.
The masked man answered unhurriedly, "I'm not human. I'm a Guardian, the Guardian of the Maze of Lies."
"How is that possible? You are a human. Besides, the Guardian of the Maze of Lies has already been killed." Lance naturally didn't believe him.
The mask on the masked man's face looked like a human's face as it revealed an evil expression. "I only said that I'm the Guardian of the Maze of Lies, but I didn't say that I'm the current Guardian."
"You're not wrong to say that I'm human. This is because only by combining with a human body can I obtain the possibility of growing in this world. However, it's too troublesome to contract with humans. I still need to take care of those weak humans. I hate trouble, so I chose to fuse with a human body so that everything is in my hands, "the masked man said.
Zhou Wen immediately understood that this masked man was the opposite of Wang Mingyuan. Wang Mingyuan had used a human body to absorb and fuse with a Guardian.
As for the masked man, he had used a Guardian's body to absorb and fuse with a human. The foundation was the same, but it was reversed.
"You were the Guardian of the previous Battle of Guardians?" Zhou Wen interrupted.
"Something like that." The masked man continued, "Although fusing with a human body allowed me to escape the restrictions on the power of outsiders in this world, it also forced me to face another problem. A human body is different from a Guardian's. A Guardian's body doesn't age, but a human's body will age and die. I don't want to die, so before I age, I have to change bodies. Therefore, I made an agreement with Frod. I helped him obtain what he wanted, and in return, he would give me his bloodline as my new body. According to the agreement, you have finally come to me. "
As he spoke, the masked man's gaze landed on Lance before landing on Zhou Wen. He didn't move any further. "Frod has really put in a lot of effort. Originally, his bloodline was the most suitable for me, but I never expected that there would be such a body among natural humans. I'll accept his painstaking efforts. Go back and tell Frod that I've accepted this body. The agreement is over. "
Lance, who was retreating, stopped when he heard that. He stared at the masked man and said, "Ignoring the fact that I don't believe such a thing, even if it really exists, this matter has nothing to do with others. This is an agreement between you and our family. Don't implicate others."
The masked man laughed when he heard that. "Are you going to let down Frod's painstaking efforts? In order to save you, he found so many people and hoped that I could choose another body. This is your only chance of survival. If I don't choose him, you will definitely die. "
"Lance, let's go." Gaiman pulled Lance back.
However, Lance suddenly summoned his Companion Beast and wore his Companion Beast armor. He threw a punch at the masked man. "Then try and see if you can snatch my body."
Gaiman was alarmed. It was already too late for him to stop him. All he could do was cooperate with Lance and attack.
Gemar and the other two members of the Ultimate Family Clan also attacked. Their Mythical Companion Beasts mostly had freezing powers. All sorts of freezing rays blasted at the masked man.
