Suddenly, a flaming spear appeared in front of Aaron, blocking a black longsword that extended from the shadows.
A sizzling sound arose as the flaming spear and the black longsword collided, emitting black smoke.
A faint sense of foreboding emerged, and Glenn's vision suddenly blurred. The black smoke seemed to cling to his eyes, making him irritable.
Aaron only felt a slight discomfort. He decisively activated his Spiritual Vision and found an invisible shadow lingering around himself and Glenn.
Aaron's heart immediately tightened, and he instantly understood that this was a Shadow Curse from a Sequence 7 Shadow Ascetic.
He immediately activated his spirituality, and the sun ring on his hand burst forth with warm, pure light, dispelling the shadow.
A man covered in strange patterns appeared in front of Aaron's right side. Aaron raised his hand and fired a purification bullet, but it only dispersed a shadow clone.
After Glenn recovered his senses, his flaming spear pointed directly at Barry Gezar, who had only one arm left. Among the remaining people, he had the highest Sequence. As long as he was dealt with, the other two wouldn't be able to escape.
Barrie's face was ashen. Realizing he had been locked on and had nowhere to run, his body rapidly distorted, extending tentacles and letting out a strange roar.
The flaming spear instantly dimmed and was shattered by the tentacles.
As a Sequence 8 Listener, Barrie could directly hear the whispers of corresponding hidden existences. He had obtained this distorted, unique ability by listening to the teachings of the great Bishop.
However, the corresponding price was extremely severe. If he couldn't end the battle within 5 minutes, he would forever remain in his current state, and his body would continue to mutate into a pile of rotten flesh.
As the four confronted each other, the other two black-robed figures raised their pistols. Just as they were about to cock and fire, they suddenly felt a chill throughout their bodies. A cold, eerie aura filled them, stiffening their entire bodies and making them unable to move.
A slightly ethereal spirit, similar to a Spirit World creature, appeared behind the two, and its hands entered their bodies.
This was the Wraith Possession unleashed by the Sequence 7 Spirit World creature within the Death Mask, which Aaron had named Astolfo.
After controlling the two, Astolfo's body instantly dematerialized and appeared behind Kolan Yunus, whose figure Aaron had forced out, instantly merging into his body.
Kolan Yunus only felt a chilling aura sweep through his body, preventing him from using Shadow Jump.
A golden light flashed in Aaron's eyes. He used Spiritual Penetration, taking advantage of Astolfo's brief control void after leaving the body.
Without giving him time to breathe, an even more brilliant light enveloped Kolan Yunus, followed by 3 purification bullets that accurately hit his glabella and other vital points.
With an unwilling wail, Kolan Yunus's body exploded directly, and a light gray light condensed on his incomplete left hand, forming a special Sealed Artifact.
Without hesitation, Aaron quickly turned to look at Barry Gezar, who was in a stalemate, slightly surprised by his current state.
However, the movements of his hand did not stop. He changed the magazine and reloaded.
Looking at Barry Gezar, who was almost completely mutated, Aaron shook his head. After briefly stunning him with Spiritual Penetration, he ended his life with a purification bullet.
After the battle, Aaron quickly came to Kolan Yunus's shattered corpse and blocked Glenn's line of sight with his body.
His wrist dropped, and the divination pendant slowly floated over the light gray, incomplete left hand. Aaron's spirituality poured into the divination pendant, and he closed his eyes, accompanied by low divination incantations.
In the hazy dream fragments, Aaron saw, from Kolan Yunus's perspective, a man wearing a black hooded robe with a face so beautiful it was demonic, unlike that of a male.
Aaron extracted from Kolan Yunus's consciousness fragments that this man was Mr. A of the Aurora Order, and Qonas Kilgor was sitting on the sofa in front of him.
The dream divination scene, forcibly constructed with Mystical Items, was very unstable. Aaron could only barely see Kolan Yunus's most profound memories.
Scene after scene skipped by, and Aaron barely managed to extract a few keywords: cooperation, MI9, Demoness Despair Nightingale, and then the dream shattered with a crash.
Opening his eyes with a hint of regret, Aaron helplessly watched his spirituality dissipate and the Beyonder characteristic aggregate from the corpse.
If he could take it above the dark gold mist for divination, using a higher Authority, he would surely be able to divine more detailed information, but unfortunately, the current situation did not allow him to do so.
Putting away the hand-shaped Beyonder characteristic, Aaron quickly stood up and met up with Glenn, who had already collected Barrie's Beyonder characteristic and was tying up the other two black-robed figures.
Aaron didn't explain what he had been doing, but instead looked at the two people Glenn was holding with interest, nodding in satisfaction.
Disrupting the Aurora Order's operation and killing a Sequence 7 and a Sequence 8 was already a considerable achievement.
The two captives could be used to help him digest the Interrogator potion.
-----------------
A pale-faced man opened his eyes. His forehead was full, he had black hair and brown eyes, and he wore nearly round spectacles. The slightly mocking smile that usually hung at the corner of his mouth had long vanished.
He looked around and found himself seemingly trapped in a room covered with strange patterns. Iron chains locked the door, and scattered on the floor were the unfastened chains and locks.
In his hazy memory, he seemed to have been in this room for an unknown period, and his mind was already somewhat dazed.
He only remembered that his name seemed to be "Lanevus," and he was a Marauder who had just arrived in Backlund from Sivellaus County.
After learning through certain channels that the next Sequence was Swindler, he planned to leave Backlund for Tingen and establish a steel company....
A sharp pain struck, interrupting his memories. Indescribable sounds directly echoed in his mind.
The overflowing evil exploded in his mind. In a daze, he even danced gracefully with the air. After Lanevus came to his senses, a desire to survive seemed to urge him to unlock the chains and locks throughout the room.
The Marauder's ability allowed Lanevus to skillfully open the iron locks and release the chains. These iron locks seemed like defenses of the mind.
As one iron lock after another was opened, the whispers in his mind grew stronger each time, and to Lanevus's despair, he could no longer stop.
Suddenly, the stopped clock in the room began to move, and an inexplicable and bizarre power began to affect this space.
Strange black patterns gradually increased on the room's walls and on Lanevus's body. Where the wall once was, a pitch-black wooden door automatically appeared, with the last iron lock hanging on it.
Lanevus walked towards that Door in a daze, his fingers trembling as he opened the last lock and gently pushed open the black wooden Door.
Looking at the world outside the Door, an incredible scene unfolded before Lanevus.
A cross that filled the sky, and behind the cross was a world-encompassing shadow on which a naked man was nailed with black iron nails and ancient wooden stakes.
His arms were spread, his feet were above his head, his head hung down like a pendant, and his body was covered in streaks of blood.
