Chapter 526: Illusionary Eyes A tall, thin black shadow emerged from the darkness. It was translucent and instantly pounced on Lumian, as if trying to find a new body for itself. This looks like being possessed by resentful spirits and evil spirits, able to control the host, but the speed is not that fast, and the whole process cannot be completed in the blink of an eye. At this moment, the sleeping Lumian suddenly turned darker and thinner, blending with the surrounding shadows and disappearing on the bed. This is his newly signed contract ability, "Shadow Transformation"! The whole room suddenly became unusually quiet. It seemed that only the tall, thin, translucent black shadow was left. There was no Lumian, and no real attacker. The next second, the darkness seemed to split open, and a dark-colored python crawled out. It was so rotten that you could see its bones, and there were yellow-green pus dripping everywhere. The python's eyes were just empty holes, and there were no fangs in its mouth. When its mouth opened, it looked like a whirlpool. It made a rapid, sharp sound, and there seemed to be a terrifying suction force coming out of its mouth, causing large areas of shadows around it to break away from the entity and fly in. This seems to be a kind of undead that feeds exclusively on shadows and shadow creatures. In a flash, the master bedroom of Room 5 in the first-class cabin of the "Flying Bird" showed a strange scene where there was still some dim light, but all objects had lost their shadows and were sleeping in pure darkness. Lumian was able to break free of the shadows just in time, returning to his human form and appearing in the area with the heavy carpeting and the elaborate wardrobe.
Almost at the same time, a tall figure walked out of the darkness. It was a knight wearing tattered black armor, with pale flames burning in its eye sockets. A rotten liquid with a strong stench oozed out from the gaps in the armor, and only sticky flesh and blood remained on the exposed skin. The dead knight raised his greatsword, took a step forward, and slashed at Lumian with a force that could smash the bed and wardrobe. Lumian's body bounced extremely flexibly, from facing the Death Knight, the Shadow Devouring Python and the tall and thin black shadow to facing them sideways. Wow! As the Death Knight's two-handed greatsword split the wardrobe in half and fragments flew everywhere, Lumian suddenly squatted down, clenched his fists, and hit the thick brown carpet hard. A large amount of scarlet nearly white flames exploded with this as the center, sweeping to every corner of the room, igniting everything that could burn, and burning the three undead creatures that were suspected to be from the spirit world. Rumble! In the surging waves of fire, fireballs condensed and flew out from around Lumian. They either flew towards the Death Knight, the Shadow-Eating Python and the tall black shadow, or indiscriminately covered this not-too-small bedroom. Rumble! Those red-to-white fireballs exploded one after another, tearing apart the three undead creatures, shattering the beds, desks and other furniture, and causing thick, pungent smoke to rise from the carpet. In such a violent explosion, in such a limited space, as long as it is not a pure ghost or pure spirit, but some physical existence, it will inevitably be destroyed. The steel-like armor on the Death Knight's body instantly fell apart, and the giant python that devoured the shadow was torn into pieces, turning into a large number of burning corpses. The tall and thin black shadow was in relatively better condition, but was also burned by the flames, becoming thin and fragile. Rumble! Although the "Flying Bird" was a ship made of steel, when multiple artillery pieces simultaneously hit the same small area, no room could escape such power and remain undamaged. But what was strange was that the bedroom in First Class Room No. 5 only had cracks on the inner wall, and neither the wall nor the door was actually cracked. Of course, the invisible barrier that seemed to cover the place began to shake violently, as if it would collapse in the next second. Lumian, who caused the explosion, was also affected by the shock waves that bounced back from the walls, doors and ceiling. It was as if he had been hit seven or eight times in a row with a huge hammer. All he could see were small golden dots and his throat was filled with a strong smell of rust. The air that was instantly sucked out by the flames made him experience the feeling of suffocation. In the rolling waves of fire, a figure was forced out of the darkness. He was standing just inside the window, wearing a black robe and a loose hood. His body was torn in multiple wounds by the blast and the sweeping flames, leaving large areas of it charred. Lumian saw that all the hairs on the man's skin were pale white, and no longer thin strands, but more like tiny feathers that were almost indistinguishable to the naked eye. When some of them were charred, what came out was not thick smoke, but dark mist.
The blood flowing out of those multiple wounds was not bright red blood, but yellow-green like pus. Lumian also saw that under the figure's lifted hood, there was a pale face and several ulcers deep enough to see the bones. Above the wounds, pale hair was vaguely visible. The next second, Lumian saw the other person's cold flaxen eyes, and between the two eyes, at the center of the eyebrows, a crack was rapidly growing larger. Inside the crack was an illusory, dark purple, almost black vertical eye. It had no eyelashes and no pupils, and there seemed to be countless pale patterns hidden inside. This strange vertical eye instantly reflected Lumian's figure. Lumian, who had intended to "teleport" directly behind the hooded man and use the "Hum-Ha Technique", suddenly felt as if he was frozen. That comes from the spiritual level. It was as if his spiritual body had lost the protection of the physical body and was directly exposed to an environment full of scorching sunlight, instinctively feeling fear, stiffness and sluggishness. ——Under normal circumstances, humans rely on astral bodies to roam the spiritual world and gain various revelations. The spiritual body, which is the origin of the soul, rarely leaves the body and is always heavily protected. The "spiritual piercing" of the "Arbitrator" path has a reputation for being difficult to guard against because it ignores the physical body, etheric body, astral body, and mental body and acts directly on the spiritual body. No matter who it is, it seems that they will be affected, just to different degrees. Lumian suspected that the same was true for the "Hum-Ha Technique". In the attacker’s deep purple, almost black vertical eyes, pale patterns silently rotated, as if trying to discern the essence of Lumian’s spirit. This made Lumian feel as if he was being scanned by cold rays of light. His spirit trembled slightly and he was unable to form any complex thoughts. Just when he was about to take the simplest action and sink his consciousness into the "Blood Emperor" brand on his right hand, the strange hooded man suddenly groaned in pain. His head jerked back as if he had been hit by a bullet in the head. The illusory dark purple, almost black vertical eye was no longer translucent, but blurred, and it was leaking dark red blood mixed with yellow-green pus. With a groan of pain, the hooded man quickly turned around and flew out of the window, dragged by an invisible object. Seeing this, Lumian did not rush to use "Spiritual Travel" to block the opponent. He simply raised his right hand and snapped his fingers. Boom! At the window, accompanied by a flash of red-white light, a violent explosion enveloped the strange hooded man. This was a trap set by Lumian. Before he "went to sleep", he hid the master bedroom in the "Bottle of Fiction". There are two entrances, one at the window and one at the door. Only creatures with extraordinary powers can pass through. No matter which exit, he has hidden a fireball with a delayed explosion. This can also explode when stimulated. In the explosion with billowing flames, the strange hooded man was lifted up and fell heavily on the window frame, with his arms and legs almost detached from his torso. Lumian didn't hesitate, "teleported" to the side of the strange man who was seriously injured and unconscious, and "humphed" at the enemy. Two beams of white light shot out and landed on the target, causing him to lose consciousness even more completely. Just as Lumian was about to take the next step, a pair of arms suddenly stretched out from the darkness at the exit of the "Bottle of Fiction" that was shattered by the explosion. Some of them were covered with tumors, some were rotten to the point of pus flowing, and some were left with only blackened bones...
The arms grabbed the hooded man by his clothes and dragged him into the darkness, disappearing without a trace. Seeing this scene, Lumian did not immediately transform into a shadow creature and follow it, but stayed where he was, frowning slightly. The attacker just now looked about 70% similar to the "devil wizard" Bulman on the wanted poster, but he looked more inhuman, and many details made him look more like an undead monster than a human. Lumian was not at all surprised by the appearance of the "devil wizard" Bulman. This was exactly what he was waiting for. He deliberately mentioned his suspicion about Fidel's relationship with the "devil wizard" in front of Fidel, but did not explain it clearly, in order to create the illusion that Louis Berry, a daring and scheming adventurer, wanted to blackmail the big businessman. Under normal circumstances, even if Fidel really had a problem, he would not act so quickly. He would definitely observe closely for a few days to confirm the situation. But this time Lumian "gave" him a chance: The adventurer Louis Berry is promoting the commission he has accepted, hoping to lure out the "Black Lord"! So, no one would think there was anything wrong with him being killed by "Kras Kizz". The death of a guy who didn't know his own limitations in Farin Port would not cause any trouble or arouse any suspicion. If that’s the case, why not nip the danger in the bud? ——Even if Louis Berry was just suspicious and had no evidence, it would still attract the attention of the official Beyonders. Lumian's "performance" in the bar last night seemed to be to hook the "Black Lord" Kras Kizz, but in fact he was hooking the big businessman Fidel Gra! If Fidel really has nothing to do with the "Devil Wizard", then this will not bring about any additional reactions. Lumian only needs to follow the superficial purpose of hunting the "Black Lord". If it is true, he will soon be able to get "feedback". What Lumian didn't expect was that the abilities displayed by the "devil wizard" Bulman had similarities with the several divine paths he knew, but also had certain differences!
