Chapter 80: Two Prohibitions

Seeing a young man in a black windbreaker descending from the crimson moon with an iron-black revolver in hand, Qonas Kilgor, who was basically familiar with important figures throughout the world, immediately responded.

His left hand, which held the “tin” pocket watch, moved quickly with his thumb reaching toward one of the metal buttons chaotically embedded at the top of the watch. At the same time, his right arm abruptly rose, using the six gray barrels arranged in a circle to aim at Gehrman Sparrow.

This process was as swift as sparks struck from colliding metal. It ended in no time, yet Qonas Kilgor’s left thumb ultimately did not press down.

He overcame his conditioned reflex and did not directly use Concerto of Light and Shadow’s Prohibit.

This was because he did not understand Gehrman Sparrow and did not know what the other party was best at. Moreover, someone wearing Gehrman Sparrow’s appearance might not necessarily be Gehrman Sparrow. Blindly “prohibiting” would only waste an opportunity.

He intended to observe and wait a little longer, so that he could formulate laws and distort rules in a more targeted manner.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang!

That strange handgun let out a despairing scream, unleashing a storm of black and icy bullets that instantly enveloped the enemy beneath the crimson moon.

At this moment, Gehrman Sparrow’s figure abruptly turned transparent, becoming less than real.

The arriving bullets pierced through the target in the black windbreaker, tearing apart the afterimage he left behind.

Behind Qonas Kilgor, Gehrman Sparrow, with his cold, stern face, suddenly appeared. His body was half crouched and leaning forward. The black top hat upon his head had taken on a smear of blood color beneath the crimson moonlight.

He abruptly raised the iron-black long-barreled revolver in his hand. While aiming, he parted his lips slightly and lightly touched the trigger.

Bang!

On Qonas Kilgor’s right side, the floor abruptly exploded, sending countless fragments splashing up.

Gehrman Sparrow’s shot had actually deviated to such an absurd degree, and its destructive power was clearly insufficient.

This was the Fallen Count’s Distortion, which made the bullet’s trajectory deviate and reduced its power.

Seizing the chance, Qonas Kilgor Confused the standard by which distance was measured and, with a single step, arrived on the bedroom balcony.

Then he half turned his body, pressed one of the metal buttons on the “tin” pocket watch in his hand with a snap, and spoke solemnly and majestically:

“Teleportation is prohibited here!”

Silently and soundlessly, some unknown change occurred within Rose Song Manor, which was illuminated by the enormous crimson moon. Gehrman Sparrow, whose body had quickly faded after firing, appeared again from the void.

He had failed to successfully switch positions.

Concerto of Light and Shadow—Prohibit!

To Qonas Kilgor, no matter what Gehrman Sparrow was actually skilled in, since he could “teleport,” it had to be immediately prohibited. An enemy capable of high-frequency, short-distance teleportation without intervals was not only annoying, but dangerous!

Discovering that his “teleportation” had failed, Gehrman Sparrow’s expression did not change. His figure quickly twisted, shedding all color and leaving only deep black.

This “deep black” abruptly collapsed, spreading across the ground and merging with the shadows in areas untouched by moonlight, becoming impossible to distinguish from them.

Bang bang bang bang bang. Bullet holes suddenly appeared where Gehrman Sparrow had been standing just now, tearing through the floor.

Rumble!

That place collapsed directly, revealing the room below. Yet no dust rose.

And amid such noise, Rose Song Manor remained shrouded in deep shadows. No one woke, and no echo was heard.

Qonas Kilgor restrained the impulse to immediately “prohibit” shadow-hiding behavior. Holding Revere’s Desperate Scream…
