Chapter 59: Fourth Movement
by cnwebnovelsChapter 59: Fourth Movement
Wearing a monocle and bearing the appearance of Winner Enuni, Amon did not seem like an infiltrator or an attacker, but rather like a visitor. With considerable desire to perform, He spoke of the preparations He had made in advance, and of the origins of the “Magic Mirror” Arrodes.
Before He had finished speaking, however, He suddenly stopped. Opposite Him, Dwayne Dantès had abruptly turned into a filthy gray rat.
That rat raised its right forepaw and pressed it against its eye socket.
At the same time, in the garden of 160 Böklund Street, Gehrman Sparrow—thin-faced, sharply contoured, black-haired, and brown-eyed—appeared in the middle of a cluster of roses.
Just now, while Amon had been speaking of that highly attractive topic, He had secretly split off a Worm of Time, attempting to invade Klein’s main body and carry out parasitism. However, Klein had remained on high alert the entire time. Through changes in Spirit Body Threads, he had noticed what was happening and, at the crucial moment, switched positions with a marionette he had hastily created!
Soundlessly, the Amon wearing the appearance of the mixed-blood youth once again appeared before Klein.
Behind Him, a transparent insect with twelve segments fell from the third floor and returned into His body.
At that instant, earthworms in the garden soil, insects hidden within trees and plants, and rats in shadowed corners all crawled out one after another. Some surrounded the place where Gehrman Sparrow and Amon confronted one another, while others moved away from the area.
A large reason Klein had patiently listened to Amon speak earlier was because he had been seizing the time to create marionettes!
For a Bizarro Sorcerer, having marionettes was what made him complete!
Amon still did not hurry to act. He pinched the monocle held in His deeply set eye socket, glanced left and right, and smiled.
“Your actions often expose your problems. To a mentor in the domain of fraud, everything you did just now is already enough for me to grasp your weakness.
“In a situation this tense and dangerous, you only transformed rats, insects, birds, and earthworms into your marionettes, without considering the butlers, maids, and manservants inside the house. What does that mean? It means you possess excellent moral standards, and you still regard yourself as human. You are unwilling to harm them.
“Having grasped this point, even if this avatar of mine is lower in level than you, I can still toy with you until you collapse. I can make you unable to die even if you want to.
“Ah, right. You may stop secretly trying to manipulate my Spirit Body Threads, because what you are manipulating are Spirit Body Threads I stole. They belong to your butler, your maids, your coachman. If you keep going, I fear you will feel very, very guilty.”
He can even steal Spirit Body Threads? No. It is more like some kind of transfer… Klein’s expression became slightly grave, and he stopped manipulating Amon’s Spirit Body Threads.
The reason he had been so patient all along and had allowed the other party to talk nonsense was also because he had secretly entertained the thought of turning Amon’s avatar into his marionette.
For a Bizarro Sorcerer, this type of battle—delaying each other while secretly exerting influence—should have been the kind he was best at and liked most. Unfortunately, the one he was facing was Amon, the Blasphemer who currently stood at the very peak of the Marauder pathway. Even though this was only an avatar, Klein felt somewhat helpless.
Klein actually suspected that what Amon had just said might be a deception, but he had no way to distinguish the truth, and he did not dare gamble.
At a time like this, a Spectator’s cooperation was needed!
“You said so much. It shouldn’t have been purely to find a way to parasitize me, right? You should understand that before heavily injuring me, it is very difficult for you to parasitize a Bizarro Sorcerer…
