Lord of the Mysteries - Chapter 796

Chapter 796






Not good! Emlyn White traced Argos's gaze and realized that he had forgotten to deal with the old newspapers and the tiny wooden chest .

Although they were part of the room, they were placed in different parts of the room . Now, they were put together, making it appear rather odd . It was as though someone had wanted to do something with them before having to give up for the time being .

Then, why would there be a need to give up? Was the person alarmed by the knocking of the door? That means that the murderer hadn't left and is hiding in a particular corner of the room? Similar thoughts flashed in Argos's and Emlyn's mind at the same time . However, one of them was feeling perplexed, while the other was reverse-inferring the other party's thoughts .

No good!

The two vampires reacted at the same time as Argos lunged to the side as he emitted thick black gases that resembled a bat's wing . As for Emlyn White, his finger quickly swiped across the opened Leymano's Travels .

Suddenly, a silver hue appeared, illuminating the room again .

The Lightning that branched out didn't hit Argos and ended up hitting the ground beside the bed . It broke up into countless thin bolts that snaked towards conductive materials .

Here, the wing which Argos used thick black gases to create seemed to attract the lightning . It was pursued by the snaking lightning as they struck him, spreading across his body .

Argos became numb for a second and crashed down to the ground before he could leap up .

Emlyn hurriedly flipped through Leymano's Travels and once against slid his finger across a Lightning Strike page .

Although he didn't know why there were so many pages of Lightning Strike, with them taking up nearly half of the yellowish-brown goatskin, he was overjoyed that he could keep using them .

The silver bolts of lightning crashed down, smiting Argos, causing his body to emit black smoke despite having just recovered from his numbed state . Failing to leap away, his body began to convulse uncontrollably .

Seizing this opportunity, Emlyn White bent his knee and leaped forward with his feet, approaching Argos with afterimages trailing behind him . Then, he wrapped his right arm around target's head, easily flashing behind him .

Kacha!

Argos directly saw his back .

His eyes filled with blood as the few festering parts on his face burst open as deep and illusory darkness poured out from inside .





Emlyn had no idea what had happened . He slid backward instinctively as he kept changing his positioning .

Argos didn't pursue him as his eyes lost their rationality . All that was left was pure malicious intent, madness, and clear blankness .

He raised his hands and pressed them against his head before forcefully twisting it, allowing it to return to its normal orientation with a crisp crack .

And around this artificial vampire, the darkness surged as though it wanted to devour everything .


Then, Argos stretched his neck from side to side as his body swelled and oozed out disgusting pus .

He had come to Galis Kevin tonight because his body had shown signs of losing control . There was a need to discuss a solution . He returned midway because he suddenly came to a realization that perhaps the harsh environment had caused intense negative effects to him due to his extraordinary sense of smell and sensitivity; thus, resulting in him having signs of losing control .

And at that moment, he completely broke down with the shadow of death hanging over him . He had lost control .

Emlyn White's heart palpitated when Argos swept his gaze across him . He felt that he had encountered trouble again as he couldn't help but curse the Primordial Moon's believers for often making themselves into monsters .

He didn't immediately pray to Mr . Fool for two reasons . First, there wasn't any time as his opponent was about to launch an attack . Second, in a one-on-one situation, Emlyn believed that it wasn't too dangerous dealing with a Sequence 7 Rampager .

He made every second count by flipping through Leymano's Travels quickly, letting it land on the page with Lightning Strike again .

Pa!

Thick, distorted bolts of silver lightning smote down heavily as it flailed its claws, striking the mutated Argos .

At that moment, the lightning seemed to shatter the surging darkness, but it also seemed to be devoured by it . The two vanished at the same time, leaving behind Argos who had finally locked his sights onto Emlyn .

This artificial vampire who had lost control produced afterimages as he pounced towards his target .

Emlyn crouched down and rolled, dodging the lethal strike .





At the same time, he reached his free right hand into his pocket and took out a metal bottle .

Bam!

As Argos quickly turned around, he instantly appeared near his enemy .

Pa! Without any time to remove the cover, Emlyn clenched his fingers, pinching open a crack in the metal bottle .

Then, he threw the bottle ahead, letting the pure and radiant liquid inside splatter towards the approaching Argos .

This was Sun Water which he had concocted with his spirituality . It was extremely strong against vampires .

This was the preparation that a Potions Professor had to do in advance!

"Ah!"

Being splashed by the liquid, Argos let out a blood-curdling scream . Wisps of black smoke billowed from his body as he lost his strength in midair .

Bang! Although he collided with Emlyn, he failed to make him lose his balance . Emlyn tumbled twice but didn't suffer any actual damage .

While tumbling, Emlyn ignored managing his injuries . He swatted his right hand which had made contact with a few drops of Sun Water and quickly flipped Leymano's Travels .

Pa!

Another bolt of silver lightning smote down, causing Argos's tragic cries to come to an end .

This vampire who had lost control had appeared to be suffering the radiance of the sun from a close distance as he fell into a state of intense paralysis .

Emlyn seized this opportunity and took out another bottle of Sun Water . He unscrewed the cap and poured it towards his opponent .

This time, Argos didn't even manage to let out a cry . His body began to melt like wax .





It was only then that Emlyn heaved a sigh of relief . He then conjured a thick black fog behind him, turning it into illusory bats the size of a palm as they swarmed towards his target .

The black bats landed on Argos, enveloping him completely . Following that, they separated and flew back to Emlyn before vanishing .

Argos's body had shrunk quite noticeably, and he finally couldn't hold out any longer . In his half-melted state, he slowly collapsed .

Only then did Emlyn raise his right hand to check on the remnant pain . He saw that his palm and a few fingers had wounds that were corroding .

However, the flesh inside was rapidly squirming as they healed themselves .

It's over… I actually finished him… Emlyn retracted his gaze and looked at Argos's corpse in slight disbelief .

Although this hunt had quite a few ups and downs, he hadn't encountered any real danger the entire time . This made him realize that the existence of the Tarot Club made him far stronger than he imagined .

If Argos had checked Galis Kevin's corpse first and not notice the newspapers and wooden chest, he definitely would've figured out that I possess Beyonder powers like Lightning Strike . He wouldn't have used Wings of Darkness while dodging and end up being hit by the lightning .

But this way, he wouldn't have discovered any abnormalities and wouldn't have made any evasive maneuvers ahead of time . My Lightning Strike would've struck him directly and things would've been easier .

Viewing it from this angle, no matter what happened, I would be able to kill him as long as I didn't make a mistake in my handling of matters… They're really weak… So I'm already this powerful…

It's no wonder the Ancestor made me join the Tarot Club… This is a gathering that prepares the various races for the impending apocalypse . It's of a much higher level than the other secret organizations! Emlyn tipped his chin up a little as he couldn't help but curl his lips .

Following that, he heard footsteps outside, but no one dared to approach .

Argos's scream must've alarmed the surrounding residents, but they wouldn't dare enter because they're afraid of trouble… However, someone will definitely report it to the police… I need to clear the scene as quickly as possible and leave… Emlyn retracted his gaze from the door and walked to Galis Kevin's corpse . From the pooling blood, he picked up an item the size of a fist .

It was completely red in color and resembled a heart . It was expanding and contracting slightly, and its surface was translucent . He could vaguely see a liquid flowing inside, and it was none other than the Beyonder characteristic of a Sequence 7 Vampire of the Apothecary pathway .

This is my trophy… Emlyn momentarily felt unaccustomed to it . After calming himself, he wrapped the Beyonder characteristic and Galis Kevin's head with the old newspapers and stuffed it into the wooden chest .

After placing the wooden chest to the side, he yanked Argos's head whose form looked nothing like before . He then took out another bottle of medicine and scattered in every corner of the room .

During this process, Emlyn wasn't flustered at all . It was as though he wasn't worried that the official Beyonders in East Borough would rush over .

A few minutes later, he picked up Argos's mutated Beyonder characteristic, glancing at its surface, which was nearly black in color, and the indistinct human-faced patterns . Behind him, a black gas was emanated .

The black gas transformed into countless tiny bats again as they flew within the room . They combined with the potion liquid that had been sprayed earlier, forming a silent black flame that spread outwards .

The black flames burned away the blood and corpse, as well as the traces of the Lightning Strikes . All that was left was a layer of sticky liquid that resembled asphalt covering the different objects in the room .

Then, these liquid bodies turned into heavy black bats as they spiraled around Emlyn's body .

Emlyn didn't have extravagant hopes that his actions could completely interfere in subsequent investigations . He only had one goal—to make the situation look okay . This made the police or official Beyonders who took on the case write off the matter as something of little value . After a simple investigation, they would file it away and not pay any further attention to it .

After doing all of this, Emlyn, with his cap and blackened face, surveyed the room .

Following that, he bowed slightly at the crimson moon .

Meanwhile, he flipped the pages of Leymano's Travels and had it stop at Teleportation .

Emlyn's figure, along with the heavy bats, immediately turned transparent and formless as he vanished from the spot .

After nearly fifteen minutes, a few policemen from East Borough rushed in . They crashed through the door but didn't discover any residents or corpses .

They yawned languidly and forced the onlooking residents to admit that they had been hallucinating; thus, ending the investigation .

This was the efficiency and style of the East Borough police .

…

After leaving East Borough, Emlyn first headed home and hid Leymano's Travels . Then, with his spoils, he headed straight for Odora's house in West Borough .

He wanted to declare his victory and claim his reward!
