The Lord Of The Mysteries

The Chapter 190

At Duke Negan's house, in the dance hall.

Disguised as Baron Gramir, Qilangos holds a glass of Aurmir's blood-red wine and casually stands behind the fence in a winding corridor on the second floor. He ignored the people on the dance floor and enjoyed the sight of the women dressed in glamour.

However, there was no lust in his eyes; they were as calm as a frozen lake. From the corner of his eye, he stole a glance at the hanging chandelier and nearby Duke Negan who was looking at the passing beautiful figure.

The duke was wearing a well-ironed navy uniform with a red ribbon attached to the medallion on his shoulders. He prefers to wear his military uniform on official occasions, in memory of his illustrious decades of service while in the military.

However, he has gained a lot of weight since then. His once sharp gray eyes had become cloudy and filled with desire. However, she took good care of herself, as the wrinkles on the corners of her eyes, lips, and forehead faded, and her black hair was still thick and bushy.

It was Pallas Negan, the current Duke Negan, the main supporter of the Conservative party, the brother of Prime Minister Aguesid, one of the richest and most powerful men in the Loen Kingdom.

At the same time, he was also the reason why Qilangos sneaked into the Backlund!

Thinking of killing such an important figure made me shiver with excitement. Qilangos retracted his gaze and closed his eyes.

He was willing to accept the commission because he had been offered quite an attractive price, and also because Qilangos loved adventure and was happy to take on difficult challenges.

If this assassination is successful, my fame will spread throughout the Northern and Southern Continents, placing me above the Four Kings. And I will receive a card, a card containing the mystery of the God that Emperor Roselle created! Qilangos suppressed his excitement and lowered his head to check his left hand.

Creeping Hunger has become transparent. It is impossible to say that "Baron Gramir" wore gloves through the naked eye or through contact.

This is a very magical item.If not for this, a Sequence 6 like me would not have reached the rank of Pirate Admiral.

Over the years as a pirate, he has seen and interacted with many Beyonders. Among them were members of the Aurora Order who enjoyed adventuring at the end of the Sonia Sea.

So, he knew that Creeping Hunger was still somewhat different from the original Shepherd.

First, the speed of status switching was too slow. It takes at least a second, but a true Shepherd can switch instantly. Second, a controlled soul could only use one to three abilities before the person died. As for what abilities could be used and how powerful they were, it all depended on luck. On the other hand, a true Shepherd can decide on three abilities. They do not have to gamble like in a casino. Lastly, Creeping Hunger could only have five souls at the same time, whereas a true Shepherd could have seven souls.

Of course, both of them had the same restrictions, namely that they could only control one soul at a time, and they could only use Beyonder power that matched their own Beyonder soul and strength. If they wanted to replace one of the souls with a new soul, the procedure could not be changed.

Qilangos underwent seven or eight years of adjustment and eventually settled down with five souls. Their abilities complement each other and make their owners extremely frightening.

Due to the constant adjustments and experiments he had done over the years, there were rumors among the pirates who claimed that Rear Admiral Storm was omnipotent.

During the vibrant dance music, Qilangos rehearses the next action he will take in his mind. He sighed with regret in his heart.

Too bad I haven't found a traveller in the last few days. Otherwise, I don't have to worry about anything tonight.

If he had captured the woman who was most likely a Traveler, Qilangos would not have hesitated to feed one of the five souls he shepherded into Creeping Hunger.

To him, the Traveler's ability would be worth it!

Qilangos stole a glance at the large crystal lamp hanging on the roof and decided not to wait any longer.

The soul he controlled right now only had one ability, which was to change his appearance. But it did not have the strength to fight the other Beyonders. However, his transformation ability was still very useful, and Qilangos was unwilling to replace him with something else all along.

The good thing was that no matter which soul he controlled, Qilangos could use the power of the Wind-blessed Beyonder at the same time.

Finally, she acted as if her gaze was locking onto the figure of a curving noble wife before she swept it over to Duke Negan and all the men around her.

Duke Negan is a loyal follower of the Lord of Storms, and he is a key figure in the Lord of Storms Church's influence on politics. There must be a Beyonder from the Church of the Lord of Storms beside him protecting her. Although the Negan family was not a thousand year old ancient family, he was one of the richest and powerful people in the kingdom. He must have searched the Sequence potion formula in secret or hired Beyonders. He mentally eliminated the man who was a noble and an officer before locking his eyes on the man who was constantly beside Duke Negan.

The man had brown hair, blue eyes, and was wearing a black tuxedo. He was almost expressionless while he remained wary of his surroundings constantly.

Qilangos nodded without being seen and pressed his right hand slightly forward.

Whooshing sound!

A sudden gust of wind swept through the area above the dance floor, extinguishing the candle chandelier.

At the moment between the light and darkness, while everyone's attention was distracted, several blades of wind slashed at the same spot on the metal chain supporting the crystal lamp disguised among the gusts of wind.

Crunch!

With a loud and breaking sound, the huge crystal light fell directly onto the dance floor. It made a loud crash, and people screamed in shock. Fragments of debris flew about, cutting off guests and making them scream in pain and fear.

The dark hall was suddenly filled with opportunities. The gloves of Qilangos wriggled and changed, condensing into a golden surface.

His expression was imposing and his eyes looked through the darkness as he directed his gaze at the man next to Duke Negan.

Suddenly, Qilangos' eyes shone like lightning.

With a swoosh, the figure of Qilangos ran through the darkness and attacked Duke Negan.

However, in the deep recesses of his eyes, it reflected his target that showed no signs of panic. That's very confident.

The plump figure of Duke Negan stood tall on the spot and observed the incoming assassin as if he was looking down on him.

He raised his right hand and pushed forward. He muttered in the ancient Hermes language, "Jail!"

In silence, Qilangos suddenly stopped. He was suddenly surrounded by a transparent wall, something wrapped around him like a sticky liquid.

It made him look like an insect in amber, or a prisoner in prison.

The Conservative party's noble leader, the hereditary Duke Pallas Negan is a Beyonder himself — a very powerful Beyonder!

Duke Negan spoke in a low voice again and waved his right hand.

"Whip!"

Pa! Pa!

Qilangos appears to have been whipped by a shapeless whip. His clothes were torn from the whip as his skin was torn apart, revealing white bones.

Then, Duke Negan leaned forward and held his right first. He declared in an imposing manner, "Die!"

Pa! His arms waved as his entire body smashed into Qilangos' head with many shadows. His fist had hit the head of his target in an unavoidable manner.

Kacha! The head of Qilangos was destroyed, but the surrounding environment was also destroyed. Duke Negan remained standing in his original place. It was just a dream.

It is unknown when the pirate admiral had changed his abilities and entered the Nightmare state.

Unlike ordinary Nightmare, he could still move his body after he dragged people into a dream!

Qilangos quietly appeared behind Duke Negan, and his cold gaze locked onto Duke.

Wrapped with a high-speed spiral wind, his right fist pierced the target's vest like a sharp knife.

Whooshing sound!

Amidst the roar of the wind, Qilangos' right fist punched Duke Negan's body and his heart. But Duke Negan's figure quickly turned transparent, like a summoned soul.

After the almost formless figure disappeared, Duke Negan appeared in front of the French door on the other side of the winding corridor. He put on a researching smile.

Other Beyonder .. They prepared in advance? To perform an ambush for me?

How come?!

Although Qilangos was unwilling to accept this reality, he faced it calmly.

The glove on his left hand squirmed and took the form of dark golden scales. The iris becomes pale and vertical.

Then, formless waves swept out from all directions. The ladies and gentlemen were thrown into a state of uncontrollable fear at the same time. They left their hiding places and ran around aimlessly. The scene became chaotic.

Beyonders do not dare to act recklessly because they worry they will hurt their relatives and friends.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Qilangos ran fast as the typhoon swirled around him. He broke through one of the restroom doors before breaking into the oriel window.

Amidst the broken sound, he leaped out and flew away from Duke Negan's house with the help of the wind.

The moment he landed, Qilangos immediately ran towards the forest in front of him. It was the city park—rute escape he had been looking for some time ago.

Once he let go of his pursuers, he could change his appearance and blend in with the Backlund's large population of over five million people.

That was also the reason why he dared to accept such a difficult mission!

After a while, there was a strong wind blowing towards Duke Negan's house. Cardinal of the Church of the Storm Sovereign, Archbishop of Backlund, Speller of the Gods, Ace Snake brought along several Mandated Punishers and flew towards the mansion.

He couldn't tell the other Beyonders in time.

Alger was one of the members who came with Archbishop Ace. However, he was in a bad mood as he saw the windows break and the other Beyonders running out of the mansion.

That meant Rear Admiral Hurricane Qilangos had escaped.
