Chapter 86: Coordination
by cnwebnovelsChapter 86: Coordination
A bright, slightly silver-white moon slowly rose within Witch King Karaman’s eyes, swiftly occupying his pupils.
It was completely different from the common crimson moon, and it was not the blood moon that occasionally appeared either. It somewhat resembled the moon’s abnormal state not long ago, yet there was also a certain difference.
It illuminated Karaman’s eyes. It illuminated his body, instantly severing his connection to the crimson moon.
In other words, before returning to normal, Karaman could no longer attempt Moonlight Transformation, nor could he “Flash” within a certain range covered by crimson moonlight.
All at once, a single word surfaced in this Witch King of the Moon domain’s mind:
“Lilith!”
The ancient god Lilith, who had once governed the Moon pathway!
This change was beyond Emlyn’s expectations. But Sharron, who excelled at restraining her emotions and thoughts, was not affected. While already transformed into Karaman’s puppet, she raised her right hand and pulled down a lock of black-and-white hair from her forehead.
Almost simultaneously, from the head of Witch King Karaman, a lock of grizzled hair fell of its own accord without being attacked by anything.
The Gate of Summoning he had opened just now dimly dissolved and broke apart inch by inch within the full eruption of sunlight from the Pure White Sight.
It was not that the summoned Rose School of Thought angel could not resist this Grade 1 sealed artifact, Pure White Sight. Rather, the Gate of Summoning itself could not endure an attack of such intensity and nature.
In addition, the King of Curses, Baranca, had only just extended two hands. The power He could descend with from afar remained quite limited, and the evil aura that seeped into reality had also been purified by the Pure White Sight, preventing it from influencing Sharron and Emlyn.
At this moment, without the Gate of Summoning as a medium, Baranca could only retreat to wherever He had originally been and wait for the next summoning, or for Witch King Karaman to pray again.
As an angel, His status was sufficient for Him to respond to prayers across the whole world!
After seeing that lock of hair drift down, Sharron’s puppet-form Karaman did not hesitate. She let her right hand naturally slide downward a little from her forehead, pinched the exaggerated slit inlaid with the blood-red full moon, and forcefully closed it inward.
Karaman let out a scream he could not suppress. The flesh and blood on his forehead blurred bizarrely, surging into that horrifying slit and covering the miniature “full moon.”
This was one of the Beyonder powers of the Mutant pathway’s Sequence 4 Puppet. It was called Source of Curses.
Aside from being able to influence nonliving objects, Puppets could also turn into secret-art puppets, mystical paper figurines, and other items, then curse targets in all kinds of ways through the connections they established.
This Beyonder power would undergo a qualitative change at Sequence 3. At the current stage, it belonged to the type that injured oneself while injuring the enemy, so under ordinary circumstances, Puppet demigods rarely used it.
In other words, Puppets harmed enemies by harming themselves.
Sharron dared to do this because she was certain that, since both sides were Sequence 4, a Wraith and Zombie would definitely endure damage better than a vampire.
Because she had known beforehand that Witch King Karaman possessed the Grade 1 sealed artifact Pupil-less General, Sharron had never expected her initial Wraith possession to truly succeed. Its main purpose was to establish a connection with Karaman through that method, preparing the way for the following curse.
Pulling down that lock of hair was the formal sign that the curse had begun. Destroying the blood-red full moon on the target’s forehead was to prevent him from once again creating a Gate of Summoning and pulling a Rose School of Thought angel onto the…
