When your brother has a problem, you really run away!
Marinda complained about Arthur's "disappearance without a word" -- this lady was well aware that her partner must have discovered sothing to secretly leave.
But this did not prevent the lady from cursing Arthur in her heart.
Because--
The "Entrant" before her eyes was targeting her.
Her power was primarily "Smoke," secondarily "Undead."
And the "Entrant" opposite her was "Storm."
What happens when smoke ets a storm?
Naturally, the smoke is scattered to the winds.
As for the remaining Undead?
Lacking the main "Smoke" and left with only a third of the "Undead" power, they would be completely suppressed by the opposing "Storm."
The pipe in Marinda's mouth began to flicker rapidly.
It was not anxiety.
But hesitation.
'Do I have to use that move?'
Everyone has a trump card at the bottom of their box.
Marinda was no exception.
Only...
If she used this trump card, she was very likely to attract great trouble.
That was sothing she absolutely did not want to see.
So--
Drag it out!
Thinking this, Marinda took a deep drag on her pipe.
Then, she exhaled heavily.
Suddenly, the thick smoke turned into blankets of fog, completely enveloping the surroundings.
But the next mont--
Woo!
The raging wind swept through as a middle-aged man in a military uniform lifted his hand, and the whole mass of fog was blown away revealing that Marinda had vanished.
In her place was an "Undead."
Or to be more precise, a skeletal warrior appeared behind the "Entrant," with a rusty longsword slashing down directly.
At the sa ti, a skeletal hand erged from under the "Entrant's" feet, firmly grasping his ankle.
A chilling power surged into the body of the "Entrant."
But it was imdiately dispersed.
Woo!
The storm appeared again.
Not only the chilling power of the Undead that had surged into the "Entrant's" body, but also the skeleton hand grasping at his ankle and the skeletal warrior that had appeared behind him were shattered by the wind.
However, the bone fragnts filling the air did not disappear.
The shattered bone fragnts turned into a four-ard skeletal warrior in the storm and lunged at the "Entrant" again with a silent roar.
The chilly force was even stronger.
Its might far surpassed what had co before.
But the "Entrant" didn't even look, turning into a gust and rushing to the side.
There, next to the empty road, ripples imdiately appeared.
Marinda's figure erged there, retreating at extre speed.
The "Entrant" imdiately sped up, but just as he approached the area, he frowned--
Boom!
In a huge roar, a 3-ter diater pillar of fire burst from the ground beneath him, shooting into the sky.
This 10-ter-long pillar of fire was like a uniquely shaped firework soaring into the sky.
People near South Town were all attracted by this bright light.
Arthur naturally saw this scene clearly.
'Well done!
Marinda, keep it up!
I'm rooting for you!'
The young "Spirit dium," in a sprint and tracking pursuit, clenched his fist towards the direction of Marinda's fight, offering his heartfelt encouragent, then his gaze once again turned to the depths of the dense forest ahead.
With Fujin's vision, when that "Entrant" appeared, Arthur had confird his approximate location.
And soon, he had pinpointed the exact location of the other party.
As for why he didn't catch up?
It was naturally because of the Human Puppet!
When the 'Entrant' appeared, Arthur was not too certain.
Although there was a sense of familiarity about the 'Entrant', the young 'Spirit dium' was unsure if a Human Puppet could achieve the level of an 'Entrant'.
Thus, Arthur harbored doubts in his heart.
However, once he confird the other's location and locked on, Arthur was certain.
The 'Entrant' was indeed a Human Puppet.
Because—
The one he was tracking was a Human Puppet.
An Exquisite Human Puppet, no less!
With an Exquisite Human Puppet as a vest, Arthur knew Exquisite Human Puppets all too well.
One might even say, no one understood Exquisite Human Puppets better than him.
After his active Spirituality had confird this, Arthur did not imdiately take action but silently kept up, while expressing a sigh of admiration in his heart—
'Is this a completely new path?
Even 'Entrant' level Human Puppets can be created!
Then...
What about the higher-level 'Ascend Steper'?
They should also be possible, right!'
Arthur recalled the remarks related to Exquisite Human Puppets, which accurately stated that the initial creator of the Human Puppet, 'Robin', had found a brand-new path through 'Alchemy'.
At that ti, Arthur did not have much understanding of the word 'path'.
But as he grew stronger and read more books from the Mystic Side, Arthur knew what the term 'path' ant in the Mystic Side.
'Ascend Steper'!
Only Ascend Steper is worthy of the term 'path'.
'An 'Entrant' Human Puppet is already remarkable enough.
An 'Ascend Steper' Human Puppet is truly terrifying.
No wonder that Master Robin firmly believed he could ultimately overthrow the Holy Empire!
I wonder if any Human Puppet of the Ascend Steper still exists?'
Arthur pondered and then shook his head slightly.
Having confidence is one thing; achieving success is quite another.
As far as Arthur knew, the Holy Empire was not overthrown by Master Robin—although, of course, the master contributed to its weakening.
But failure was definite.
And with the Holy Empire's cruel thods, the master's fate would certainly not be good.
After all, there was more than one master who had been burned at the stake in the Holy Empire.
And the masterpieces of those masters were most likely destroyed.
Even if preserved, they would only be used by the Holy Empire, and then, with the fall of the Holy Empire, these props would be further consud and damaged.
Entering the Silver Age, the nobles continued their overt and covert strife, further consuming and damaging these props.
With the onset of the Seven Years' War, these props were then consud and damaged en masse once more.
Therefore, Arthur did not hold much hope that the 'Ascend Steper' Human Puppet created by this master still existed.
Even if it did, such an item would definitely be in the hands of those Great Nobles.
He wanted to get it?
It would be difficult.
However, obtaining an 'Ascend Steper' Human Puppet might be difficult,
But acquiring another Exquisite Human Puppet was not very hard.
Even the 'Entrant' Human Puppet could be conveniently obtained.
With this in mind, Arthur's eyes narrowed slightly—
He was very clear about what the other party wanted to do.
Buy ti!
Complete the Ritual!
That ritual is most likely the rumored 'Grudge Rite.'
Besides this possibility, Arthur could not think of anything else that would lead a mber of the Death Poetry Society, still an ordinary person for the ti being, to secretly hole up in number 6 White Bird Street and make such a commotion.
'If that's the case, then I'll help myself...
These two Human Puppets are mine to claim!'
The corners of the young 'Spirit dium's mouth turned up slightly.
