Chapter 196 The Witch of Despair, Triss
Hugh's legs were scratched by the thorns of the vines, and those thorns were poisonous.
However, such toxins do not cause much harm to a Sequence 6. Even if left untreated, it will be fine after an hour or two.
However, Hugh's desires had been amplified and manipulated, causing his blood flow to accelerate and the toxins to act abnormally. As a result, Hugh was unable to walk normally.
It just so happens that Raphael is now blind, so he carries Hugh on his back and asks Hugh to give him directions.
However, Raphael was running too fast, and before Hugh could warn him, he had already crashed into the wall.
Raphael simply kept charging forward, smashing through the wall, and the two of them escaped covered in dust.
The few extraordinary individuals who were affected did not give chase, because the other Raphael was still in the "Dark Lodge," protecting himself on the Northern Continent; even if they had chased after him, it would have been useless.
Moreover, they realized that their main body had been severely damaged and they needed to move away immediately.
Just as they were cleaning up the battlefield, they suddenly sensed a large amount of power converging on them from the east, as if the main body had concentrated all its power here.
A moment later, the voice of the original entity appeared in their minds: "Grab them—no, grab that man—"
The great Mother Tree has just sent down a divine message! It's the person He has been searching for!
Under Hugh's command, Raphael ran at full speed.
They realized that no one was chasing them, so they got into a taxi.
Taking a short breath, Raphael said to Hugh, "Let's work together for the next couple of days. We'll only be truly safe once we've completely dealt with the guy in my eye."
Xiu nodded, then suddenly blushed: "Then—we'll be staying together for the next few days?"
Having spent so many years in Backlund, Hugh didn't feel particularly embarrassed. After all, the kiss earlier was influenced by her extraordinary abilities. However, she had never been so intimate with any man before, so she couldn't help but think about it more carefully.
Of course, the two of them tacitly agreed not to mention this matter.
Raphael leaned back in his chair and said, "This operation was a real money-losing deal."
The "Cursed Crystal" can only be used five times. I've already used it once, but I haven't gotten any loot. It's clearly a loss.
Hugh grunted in response. She hadn't expected things to turn out this way. This was originally a case of two missing members of MI9, and MI9 had always believed that the culprit was either a Sequence 6 or Sequence 5 level.
These two levels of enemies are not too difficult for her and Raphael to deal with, after all, the two of them had previously killed a "Punishment Knight".
Hugh said seriously, "I will contact MI9 as soon as possible."
Raphael raised his hand and said, "If we notify MI9, we really won't get anything—well, you might get some merit, but although our experience this time was more dangerous than last time, the merit isn't much."
Hugh nodded. Of course she knew that. The previous spy case was solved at just the right time, which could be used by the Rune government, so the reward was substantial.
But this is a high-level and extraordinary case. MI9 is currently short-handed and has to draw on manpower to investigate.
It's already quite generous of them to offer some merit.
Raphael said, "We've already made initial investments, and more importantly, I've dealt that guy a heavy blow. So I suggest we find new 'partners' to continue this project, and we can still get a share in the end."
The reason Raphael didn't go it alone was that while he was confident he could lure the opponent out, finding their true form again would be extremely difficult.
Especially after the opponent has been severely injured, they will try their best to hide their true form.
Raphael has some ways to deal with demigods, but he is only a Sequence 6 and cannot use those things flexibly. If "Stone Eyes" had any sense, he would not fight Raphael head-on again.
Hugh was slightly taken aback, not expecting that Raphael had actually turned this into a business deal.
Then she asked, "Have you found someone suitable?"
"Yes," Raphael said. "You should know Miss Sharon, right?"
"have no idea."
Klein and Sharon have always been the ones in contact. The other members of the Tarot Club only know that Mr. "World" is cooperating with the "Temperance Faction," but they don't know the specific partners.
Just as Raphael was about to give a brief introduction to Miss Sharon, his intuition suddenly sensed danger.
Then Raphael in the "Dark Lodge" sent a picture to Raphael in the real world, and Jonathan and the other three caught up again.
But their aura was completely different from before. Each of them seemed to have reached the Sequence 5 level, and the eye on their forehead, which was originally similar in color to a normal eye, had now turned blood red, making them seem stronger than a normal Sequence 5.
The four people quickly chased after them through the rooftops, while behind them, a phantom black tide followed.
The black tide seemed to be the "master of the illusion," but its true form did not exist in the real world.
Raphael frowned; he hadn't expected the other party to actually chase after him.
Logically, given the severe damage inflicted on it, it should have moved away quickly. Why did it actively chase after it?
However, now is not the time to consider this issue. The illusion just now greatly depleted Raphael and Hugh's spiritual energy, leaving them with insufficient strength to fight Jonathan and the others.
So now, the only option is: run!
Raphael quickly explained the situation, then grabbed Hugh's hand, activated the "Traveler's" soul, and the two entered the spirit world together.
A second or two later, the two emerged from the spirit world; they had arrived in another direction of Backlund.
But soon, Raphael sensed danger again; the other side was catching up again, and even closer than before.
He immediately realized that what he saw was essentially an avatar of the "master of the illusion," and he had no way to escape.
Raphael asked himself in the "Dark Hut": "Can I seal the thing in my eyes a little more completely?"
""
The other party replied: It's being done, it will take time.
It wasn't that the "Dark Lodge" lacked power, but rather that Raphael's level was insufficient, limiting the power he could mobilize.
So Raphael took Hugh back into the Spirit Realm. This time, they didn't stay long either, and instead appeared in a small town on the outskirts of Backlund.
There were pedestrians on the streets of the town, all of whom were quite surprised by the sudden appearance of the two people.
Raphael immediately sensed danger; clearly, the "Master of the Illusion" had also come from the spirit world, and this time they were even closer.
Raphael was about to get into a fighting stance to buy time for himself in the "Dark Hut" when suddenly he looked towards the tavern in the town.
The tavern was quite ordinary, but for a moment Raphael realized that he and Hugh had been swept by some kind of spirit.
Ordinary extraordinary beings might not perceive this, but the "creeping hunger" contains the ability to "foresee danger," and Raphael was very sensitive to such spiritual probing.
Raphael estimated that they were about two or three hundred meters away from the tavern. Spiritual beings below the level of demigods generally do not extend that far.
It is said that a demigod in the tavern sensed that someone had suddenly emerged from the spirit world, so he used his spiritual power to investigate.
After a moment's thought, Raphael grabbed Hugh and used his "teleport" ability to appear at the tavern's entrance.
Pushing open the door, I found only seven or eight patrons inside, as it was afternoon, three of whom were asleep at the table.
Raphael glanced at the patrons, including a sleeping woman; they were all dressed slovenly, and none of them looked like demigods.
But now that the "Masters of the Illusion" and the others were closer, Raphael took a deep breath and said, "I'll treat everyone to a drink!"
Some of the patrons laughed, while others expressed their gratitude. The female patron, who had been slumped over the table, looked up and, slightly drunk, said, "You've run into some serious trouble!"
The other person had a round face and messy hair, which looked like it hadn't been styled in a long time, but it still couldn't hide her beauty.
Raphael thought to himself: This is the demigod!
Xiu was taken aback: "It's you?"
Raphael smiled and asked, "You know him?"
That makes things easier.
Hugh nodded: "The witch, Triss!"
