When the illusory figure appeared, the aura that it brought out caused Kieran to hold his breath.
However, Kieran wasn't surprised at all in his heart.
Quite the opposite, he was sizing up the illusory figure before him with a judgmental gaze.
The illusory figure had three heads, two black snake heads on the left and right side and a man's head in the middle. Its body was that of a bird with sharp bird claws but it didn't have arms. However, it didn't stop the illusory figure from displaying its ferocious appearance.
Ssss, Ssss!
After two loud hisses, the two black snake heads on the left and right charged towards Sister Moni who was inches away.
Kieran who was warned by Sister Moni dashed in front of Sister Moni in a flash. Kieran dished out both of his legs against the two black snake mirages.
Transcendence level [Hand-to-Hand Combat, Kick Combat] was able to deal damage to the formless spirit beings and after going through the Character Model Template Limit Breakthrough dungeon, Kieran acquired [Extraordinary Force].
Not only the Dawn Force, but even the Devil Flame could be infused into it.
At that particular moment, there was no need to hesitate which one to choose.
Wung!
Dawn Force bloomed on Kieran's legs.
When the two black snake mirages were shone by Dawn Force, they hissed as if they were being burned and when the tip of Kieran's feet landed on the snake heads …
Pak!
With a sound that sounded like glass shattering, the two snake heads crumbled. They were like dust floating in the sunlight. As they tumbled about, they disappeared without a trace.
As for the remaining human head, a string of inexplicable incantations sounded from its mouth.
Following the incantations, a layer of black mist appeared.
The black mist rumbled ceaselessly on the illusory figure.
Waves of agonizing wails came from the black mist.
Kieran's eyes could even see something similar to a soul within the mist.
A gloomy yet vast voice came from the black mist.
"Submit!
Ants! "
The voice seemed to be able to intimidate souls, Kieran could clearly feel every living being within 20 meters of the voice was greatly affected.
Insects and the like even died on the spot.
However, it wasn't enough for Kieran.
Notifications popped up one after another, but all of them passed.
"Submit?"
"Ants?"
Kieran smiled.
The corners of his mouth curled up into a cold smile.
"It's just an afterimage, what's there to brag about?"
He said word by word.
The many dungeon world experiences were enough for Kieran to have knowledge far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
It was as if this wasn't the first time he had seen this thing.
He had seen something similar in [The Shaman's Partner] dungeon.
It was like the afterimage of the God of Judgment.
The one in front of him should be the afterimage of Cymilaide.
Of course, the afterimage in front of him was stronger than the weak afterimage.
But that was it.
Therefore, the result was already decided.
Boom!
A 15-meter-long sword was thrust out from Kieran's hands.
The black fog and the illusory figure were directly penetrated.
The black fog melted like snow under the scorching sun.
The illusory figure began to burn.
"Ants! Ants! Ants! "
"You will die a horrible death! You will die a horrible death! "
The illusory figure cursed loudly but it only made the figure more powerless and bluffing.
The flame burned rapidly and was quickly extinguished.
Nothing was left behind.
All that was left was a sluggish imposter.
The figure looked like she just woke up from a dream.
The imposter was frightened when she saw Kieran and Sister Moni. She staggered backward and fell on the ground, crying out loud.
"Who are you people?
"Lisa wants Daddy!"
Lisa wants daddy! "
…
Kieran frowned.
He looked at Sister Moni out of instinct.
Another sigh later, Sister Moni walked over to the figure and hugged her in her arms like she was coaxing a child, comforting her softly.
His originally slow body was now staggering, and he was no different from those who couldn't walk nimbly.
And … old!
Kieran was sure the elderly sister looked even older than before.
"Just now?"
Kieran walked over and asked.
"2567, please head to 11th Lion Street, there is a temporary hideout that belongs to Lisa and the others. There should be at least two more of them there, one of them is the one who killed Reed and the other one is a first for Lisa, a young man with his face covered."
Sister Moni didn't answer Kieran directly, instead, she diverted the topic.
However, the content of the topic allowed Kieran to have more guesses.
"Memory reading?
Or? "
Kieran saw Lisa who was hiding behind Sister Moni and peeking at him. When she realized Kieran was looking at her, she quickly shrunk behind Sister Moni and didn't look like the brain-sucking, flesh-eating girl that he remembered.
The thoughts in his heart didn't stop Kieran.
"Sister Moni, please come with me!
I don't want to be lured away from my territory — I don't know how many people know about your abilities but I can't guarantee that she isn't a bait. "
Kieran pointed at Lisa.
Lisa who just stuck her head out quickly shrunk back behind Sister Moni.
"Um."
Sister Moni didn't reject Kieran's suggestion.
Soon enough, an unmarked wagon left St. Paolo School.
Inside the wagon, Kieran kept quiet.
Sister Moni was comforting the anxious Lisa and when Lisa fell asleep on Sister Moni's lap like a little girl, Sister Moni then looked up at Kieran.
"Do you know why I'm called a monster?
It's because of my ability that was born out of coincidence.
When I can read someone's memory … "
"Erase a part of their memory!"
Sister Moni said.
"Erase a part of their memory?"
Kieran was shocked.
"Isn't it scary?"
Sister Moni showed a helpless and self-mocking smile.
"It is indeed scary!
Then what did she mean by 'devouring everyone's last hope'? "
Kieran didn't hide his thoughts but he showed his curiosity as well.
"It was during the most crucial moment of the battle between the nobles and the churches. All the churches laid down their doctrines and abandoned their past grudges to form an alliance. I then joined the alliance as the representative of the Church of Dawn. Everyone came up with a plan to infiltrate the noble allied forces and I would be the one to read and erase the memories of a few noble leaders but at the last moment, I hesitated … and because of my hesitation, the allied forces started to lose ground.
In the end … "
"A crushing defeat!"
Sister Moni said softly.
As if she was talking about something unrelated to her.
But Kieran clearly saw Sister Moni clench her fist.
It seemed like she wasn't as calm as she looked.
Why would she hesitate?
Kieran was very curious about that.
However, Sister Moni's expression made him unable to ask.
Then, the carriage fell into silence.
Until the wagon stopped …
"Sister Moni, we have arrived at 11th Lion Street!"
