Chapter 257: Marionette and Psychokinesis
“Bang!”
Bard felt as if an invisible giant iron hamr had struck his body.
His body was flung away with a "bang" and slamd heavily into the wall.
The trendous impact caused his bones to emit cracking sounds of breaking.
In the second-floor corridor, Bard sat against the wall.
A fractured crater appeared in the wall behind him.
Blood constantly spilled from his mouth, making Bard realize he had suffered severe internal injuries.
He couldn't feel pain; he only felt short of breath.
“So this is the power of the Divine Child?”
Bard’s face turned ashen.
As a Fla Archmage, he had been defeated so easily.
“Hopefully, the Emma sisters can be clever enough!”
There was a passage in the basent leading to the sewers.
At least it could allow Lady Alisa to escape from Obenlo City.
“Keke, such foolish humans. Only a surprise attack can kill .”
In the courtyard, Kidd’s face was filled with delight.
He spread his arms as if to embrace the unseen moon in the sky.
“Another Fla Archmage is about to die by my hands. Ah, what a wonderful thing this is, haha!”
Kidd laughed maniacally, covering his face.
The laughter was filled with indescribable madness.
“Is that so? I don’t believe only a surprise attack can kill you!”
At this mont, a cold voice suddenly echoed in the darkness.
The voice seed to co from nowhere.
It also seed to originate from all directions.
“Who’s there?”
The smile on Kidd’s face abruptly froze.
He looked around, shouting loudly.
Sensing sothing, Kidd turned toward the gate.
In Kidd’s gaze, a strange figure appeared outside the gate.
The figure wore a black robe and had a tall build.
His shiny, round head looked sowhat comical, resembling a silver spherical helt.
Upon seeing him, Kidd’s pupils contracted.
An invisible force surged outward again.
The visitor was Li ng.
Li ng’s figure flickered, moving left and right.
His speed was so fast that only a blurry shadow could be seen flashing about.
Kidd’s expression changed dramatically.
He realized his eyes couldn’t lock onto that person.
“On the right!”
A cold voice ca from the right.
A strong gust of wind imdiately followed.
Kidd turned his head and saw a fist wrapped in cloth coming toward him.
“Bang!”
The fist didn’t hit Kidd.
Li ng’s fist stopped about half a ter away from Kidd.
Visible shockwaves swept to both sides.
It was as if an invisible wall of air stood in front of Kidd.
With a “bang,” Kidd was still sent flying.
Like a cannonball, he crashed into the courtyard wall with a “boom.”
The wall collapsed with a thunderous sound.
Kidd, who had destroyed the wall, continued flying uncontrollably into a building.
“Boom!”
With a loud crash, debris flew everywhere as the building collapsed.
And it wasn’t over yet.
Over ten buildings along the sa line collapsed in succession.
For a mont, debris scattered, and dust filled the air.
“It seems to be an ability that converts ntal power into physical attacks.”
With a “bang,” the ground beneath Li ng’s feet cracked.
His figure flickered, shooting into the sky.
In one leap, he rose several hundred ters into the air.
He descended in a perfect arc toward the ruins of buildings several streets away.
“Who are you?”
In a broken house several streets away.
Kidd, looking disheveled, struggled to his feet.
He roared toward the sky, his pupils contracting.
An invisible force erupted once more.
“Your killer!”
A cold voice echoed from the sky.
Li ng, descending toward the ground, punched with his right hand.
A torrent of violent combat energy surged outward.
“Boom!”
A massive shockwave, visible to the naked eye, exploded less than a hundred ters above Kidd’s head.
The space there twisted.
A powerful shockwave swept outward.
“Impossible!”
Seeing his attack blocked, Kidd was dumbfounded.
“Boom!”
The shockwave from the sky smashed into the ground.
Buildings within a hundred-ter radius crumbled.
Dust surged, and debris scattered everywhere.
“Pah!”
Kidd, crawling out of the rubble, spat out dust.
He never imagined his divine power would fail like this.
That guy didn’t even use a weapon; his fists alone left him flustered.
“You’re not here in person, are you?”
The cold voice ca again, this ti from behind.
Kidd’s body trembled, drenched in cold sweat.
As the dust settled, a tall figure stood behind Kidd at so point.
Kidd swiftly turned to look.
In that instant, Li ng punched.
His fist struck Kidd’s head squarely.
“Snap!”
With a snapping sound, there was no blood spatter; a wooden puppet’s head flew off.
Kidd’s original body turned into a wooden puppet.
“Xiao Bai, what is this weird thing?”
Li ng curiously observed the wooden puppet on the ground.
When Li ng first saw Kidd, he knew he wasn’t human.
The character information displayed an additional “Puppet” suffix.
“Divine Power: Marionette. The Divine Child with this power can create marionettes for others to use. The puppets can be remotely controlled, take on the appearance of the original, and possess 80% of their power. Each person can only use it three tis in their lifeti.”
Xiao Bai’s explanation left Li ng amazed.
He hadn’t expected this world to have a divine power system like this.
“Xiao Bai, what type of divine power does that guy have?”
“Divine Power: Psychokinesis. It can convert ntal power into physical attacks for offense and defense.”
It turned out to be a type of telekinetic power.
After all, Kidd’s divine power attack thod was remarkably similar to telekinesis.
Li ng’s figure flickered with a “bang,” leaping into the sky.
anwhile, back at Count Bard’s residence.
“Lord Bard, are you okay?”
The loud commotion outside prompted the four won hiding in the basent, including Alisa, to co out.
Although they knew leaving the basent could an death, Alisa ultimately decided to leave.
Squatting beside Bard, Alisa treated his wounds.
The crystal ring emitted a soft white magical glow.
“Don’t mind . Go check on Faris, that guy!”
Bard turned his head to look toward a shattered wall deep in the corridor.
“Lord Bard, who is Faris?”
Alisa asked curiously.
Was there soone else in the residence besides Lord Bard?
“He’s a platinum-level adventurer I hired. He’s severely injured.”
“I… I’m fine. I won’t die.”
From the broken gap deep in the corridor, Faris’ voice rang out.
With a “click,” a nearby door opened from the inside.
A bloodied Faris walked out.
He slumped against the wall, sitting down heavily.
“Hiss!”
Moving seed to touch his wounds, and he gasped in pain.
