The living corpse before him could clearly use extraordinary abilities, and according to Odis's observation, the eyes on that withered head were bright, unlike the previous heads, where the eyes were either missing or had a numb look.
Of course, the obvious difference is that below that head, there is not only an esophagus, but also a long, bloodstained spine.
However, now is not the time to think about these things. The moment the fireball appeared, Odis and Klein made a very tacit division of labor.
Klein stood still, letting the fireball hit him.
But the moment the fireball struck him, Klein vanished. It turned out that it was just an illusion. The real Klein had already taken a few steps forward, bringing his head in mid-air into attack range: "Mental Pierce!"
He began to attack his enemies with "wriggling hunger".
On the other side, Odis tossed his staff aside, realizing it was useless against the corpse before him.
Suddenly, the fire crows flew towards Odis, and the corpses launched an attack on him.
Odis took out two large handfuls of powder from the corresponding pocket and sprinkled them out. The grass and trees on the roadside suddenly shook and disappeared without a trace. In their place, dozens of wooden stakes shaped like javelins appeared in mid-air.
This was one of the most powerful spells invented by Odis, and it was being used now to attract the attack of the flock of fire crows.
Under Odis's control, the stake ignored the fire crows and instead pierced the headless corpse.
The fire crows that were originally heading towards Odis did indeed prioritize burning the wooden stakes.
However, there were more wooden stakes than fire crows, and a few of them still managed to break through the fire crows' blockade and pierce the headless corpse.
The headless corpses either nimbly dodged the attacks or burst into flames, burning away the spikes on the wooden stakes.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Odis put on the "Hand of Judgment" glove: "Imprisonment!"
Odis, who suddenly became extremely majestic, issued a seemingly irrefutable command. The air around the headless corpse instantly became viscous, enveloping it like amber.
Then Odis sprinkled golden powder with his other hand, and the intense sunlight reappeared. The headless corpse instinctively tried to hide, but was imprisoned there and could not move.
Despite its extraordinary abilities, it could only stand there exposed to the scorching sun, emitting wisps of white smoke and showing signs of melting.
The reason why flames did not appear as before was mainly because the corpse was not afraid of fire at all, so it simply showed signs of melting.
At this moment, Odis suddenly stepped forward and threw out a "thunderstorm bomb" that he had prepared beforehand, taking over the control of the target from "imprisonment".
Sizzle~
Under the purification of the electric shocks, the corpse was rapidly weakening and falling into a state of "paralysis".
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Odis used "Blazing Sun" again. This time, the corpse melted away even faster and lay motionless on the ground.
The other half, the head, also melted away amidst a shrill scream under the attack of Klein's "Sun Brooch".
Extraordinary properties immediately began to precipitate from the corpses here.
Klein strode over and carefully examined the corpse's neck: "The spine and esophagus look like they were torn out by some tremendous force."
Odis had no intention of investigating further, but instead said to Klein, "You wait here for the properties to be extracted, I'm going to number 15."
As he spoke, he pulled his hat up tighter to keep his hair from falling on the ground.
As soon as Odis arrived at number 15, a dangerous omen struck again. A black wave seemed to crash down at the end of the street, and Odis smelled a strong stench of blood.
Above the waves, a blood-red flame appeared, like an eye, staring intently at Odis.
Odis instantly made a judgment: although the creature in front of him had no body, it was of a higher level and more dangerous than the zombie from before.
Klein immediately stepped forward and used his "Frenzy" ability on the black tide, while looking at Odis and signaling him to hurry up.
The zombie we just encountered was probably around Sequence 6; the two of us took it down quite easily by working together.
However, the black wave is roughly at the Sequence 5 level. Although they both have seals at this level, it will be difficult to defeat them in the short term.
Moreover, during the battle, it was unknown whether it would attract even stronger enemies, so Klein only intended to stall the opponent and give Odis time to go to number 15 to find someone.
Odis strode to door number 15 and knocked loudly: "Open the door!"
He also smelled a faint odor of blood inside the room.
Soon, a deep voice from inside asked, "Who are you?"
"I'm here to see Cyril, the president of the Chamber of Commerce!"
A voice from inside the door said, "He's not here."
On the other side, Klein used his "deterrence" ability to shift the attention of the "Black Tide" from Odis to him.
The fireball directly above the "black wave" suddenly began to shake, seemingly caught in a state of "intimidation".
Then Klein made a "hugging the sun" gesture, as if piously praising the sun, using the "divine light" from "creeping hunger".
As a magnificent pillar of light descended, the "black wave" suddenly contracted, concentrating into a single point, and a layer of deep red flames appeared on its surface.
The falling beam of light extinguished much of the crimson flames. Without the protection of the flames, many parts of the "Black Tide" were scorched, and some were even evaporated.
But after the pillar of "holy light" ended, the scorched areas were suddenly lifted, and a middle-aged woman with dark red skin, a face covered in rotten parts, and wearing a blood-red robe emerged from them.
Looking at the other person's appearance, it was very much like a corpse that had been dug out of a coffin and had been dead for several months.
But the other person's eyes were very sharp, looking Klein up and down. Klein suddenly felt like prey being targeted by a hunter.
Judging from the fact that the "Holy Light" attack wasn't very effective, this middle-aged woman didn't seem to be the undead she had encountered before, or rather, she wasn't entirely an undead monster.
On the other side, Odis was already somewhat agitated: "Where is Cyril?"
A deep voice from inside the door said, "No, I know. He left with a distinguished guest."
Odis stared at the two large doors. Bernadette had indeed been here before, so he asked again, "When was that?"
"Twenty minutes ago."
They just left a short while ago?
Odis quickly asked, "Why did they leave?"
"Hiding from a person wearing a yellow hat."
It's that guy in the yellow hat again! Odis was a little surprised. Bernadette was also avoiding that guy in the yellow hat?
Who is this guy?
At the same time, Odis felt something throbbing on the left side of her back.
My neck is also a bit uncomfortable; it feels a little awkward when I turn my head.
At this moment, a deep voice from inside the door continued, "They shouldn't have left."
"Because of them, the door was opened, violating the taboos of the island."
"So, the man wearing the yellow hat found this place and killed everyone here."
Odis was stunned: Damn it, if everyone inside was killed, who was I talking to for so long?
Suddenly, Odis sensed that the atmosphere in the room had become strange, and an extremely dangerous aura was spreading outwards.
"Run!" Odis shouted to Klein, who was still holding off the "middle-aged woman," "Run!"
By this time, the fireballs from the "middle-aged woman" had already left Klein in a very sorry state.
This guy's fireballs always seem to come from unexpected places, and they always seem to target his vitals.
Upon hearing "Mr. Garr's" voice, the "divine light" descended once more, temporarily blocking the "middle-aged woman" whose face was rotting.
The two ran as fast as they could, and as they passed the zombies, Odis also picked up the extraordinary properties that had been extracted.
Klein was relieved. He had been thinking that if "Mr. Garr" didn't pick up the extraordinary traits, he would definitely pick them up himself.
Although these two guys were "willing to risk their lives for their money," they ran fast enough to quickly leave the danger behind.
When they returned to the alley, they looked back.
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
The "middle-aged woman" did not immediately catch up, but stood in front of number 15, as if expecting something.
Suddenly, she turned into black liquid again and flowed into the room through the crack in the door of number 15.
Odis and Klein dared not observe any further and immediately went through the alley to the street where the church was located.
Upon arriving on this street, their spiritual senses immediately felt that the level of danger had decreased.
Odis breathed a slight sigh of relief and held out his hand to display the extraordinary properties he had just witnessed: "This trophy..."
He had just finished speaking when he felt a flash of yellow light before his eyes, and the person wearing the yellow hat swaggered past them.
But because the other party was moving so fast, there wasn't even time to see what they looked like.
At the same time, Odis felt a lightness in his hand, and that extraordinary property simply vanished.
"Huh?..." Odis hadn't expected that the "yellow hat" would actually steal something right in front of him!
Klein was also stunned. If it weren't for the disappearance of the special properties in Odis's hands, he would have thought that he was seeing things.
Odis smacked his lips: "Luckily you were there too, otherwise it would be hard to explain."
As he spoke, he rubbed his neck, feeling that the muscles in his neck were even more uncomfortable.
Klein never expected that his prized spoils would be gone just like that.
But even as he plays the mad Gehrman Sparrow, he has no intention of reclaiming that extraordinary trait.
"Let's get out of here quickly," Odis said.
He had a bad feeling.
Klein hummed in agreement, offering no objection.
The two had only taken a few steps when they saw strange lights flickering in the thin mist in the distance.
They felt an immense pressure coming from mid-air and immediately stopped again.
A dozen seconds later, the light in front of them gradually disappeared, and an object with a faint black flame flew towards them.
Odis reached out and caught it; it was the very extraordinary property that had just been stolen.
The two were stunned, but someone "speaks out against injustice" and helped them regain their unique characteristics.
At this moment, the thin mist in front of them suddenly stirred and condensed, forming a line of words in front of the two of them: What are you doing here?
Odis breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you're alright."
"I received intelligence that there will be danger in Bansi Port recently, so I'm here to inform you to go back immediately."
Klein, standing to the side, quietly observed the way the two communicated.
The mist began to swirl again, condensing into individual letters and forming a sentence: This place is indeed very dangerous. I am currently on the beach near the port. If I go in again, it may awaken an even more terrifying being. Come out and meet me.
Odis nodded: "Alright, I'll head to the port right away."
The letters moved again, recombine, and formed a sentence in two parts: Anyone who sees a person wearing a yellow hat will be cursed. The mark of the curse is below your left shoulder on your back. You need to use a dagger to pry out that piece of rotting flesh, otherwise your head, esophagus, and spine will be pulled out by a tremendous force.
Odis and Klein's eyes both sharpened, especially Odis, who had seen the man in the yellow hat not long after leaving the Lime Restaurant.
He had felt his neck muscles tightening since earlier, and it was only after Bernadette reminded him that he realized it was the feeling of a huge force "lifting" his neck.
"We will handle it immediately," Odis said.
The mist dissipated, and no new words appeared.
Odis took a deep breath and said to Klein, "Now, I have no choice but to entrust my back to you."
Klein didn't say anything, he just nodded.
Odis lifted her clothes, but the "rotten flesh" was neither above nor below her, and she couldn't reach it from either side.
Odis had no choice but to take off his coat in the cold wind and hand the dagger to Klein.
Then he felt a chill down his back and heard a squeak like a mouse. A piece of rotten flesh the size of a fingernail fell to the ground, squeaking and wriggling as if trying to escape.
Odis bent down and took a small handful of golden powder from his clothes, sprinkling it on the writhing, rotting flesh. The flesh immediately dissolved, turning into a pool of black water.
The discomfort in his neck disappeared immediately.
At this moment, Klein had also taken off his shirt. He was still somewhat hesitant, but after seeing the rotten flesh that had been cut from "Mr. Garr's" back, he decided that saving his life was the priority, and he should put aside his public image and remove the curse first.
Odis saw a piece of black, rotting flesh on the lower left side of Klein's back.
There were also some dark red colors in the rotting flesh, and these colors, whether by coincidence or not, formed a pattern of a human face with closed eyes.
Odis stabbed with his dagger, and the crimson face suddenly opened its mouth, making a "squeak squeak squeak" sound.
He threw the rotten flesh on the ground, immediately sprinkled it with golden powder, and watched as the rotten flesh quickly dissolved.
Just as the two breathed a sigh of relief, a figure appeared in the thin mist.
Danitz emerged from the mist and was stunned to see two shirtless men: "I...I didn't see anything."
