Diary of a Dead Wizard-Chapter 627: The Powerful Kismet

"Are you still here?"

Saul's voice caused the stain that seemed to have dried up long ago to suddenly show some reaction.

The sounds of fighting outside were becoming increasingly clear, as if they would soon enter this room.

The black stain finally reacted, and a human face slowly emerged—exactly the same as the Saul had seen before emerging from the black stain.

The same mutilation and decay.

Seeing this face, Saul understood that she had lost the chance to recover.

That little bit of rational ability to communicate might only come from the memory inertia from before her mutation.

The woman looked at Saul, "My toy."

"Actually, you can't control this manor at all. The true master of Old Days Manor is actually a giant carrion-eating rat."

The mask-like face tilted at an angle, trying hard to look at Saul, "It was my only playmate during that time. It said that if it ate me, it could take me everywhere."

The black face cracked into an arc.

"As long as it can give me freedom again, what does it matter whether the master here is human, monster, or rat?"

The woman's face rapidly dehydrated, and along with the stain on the wall, numerous fine cracks appeared.

Some black debris fell rustling down, revealing the dark yellow wall behind.

After the giant rat died, the woman who depended on it would also disappear.

"But I don't hate you, my lovely toy. This kind of life forever trapped in illusion isn't what I wanted either. Now, the pollution source that bound me has collapsed, and I'm about to gain freedom."

The black face smiled silently.

Because of the mutation pollution, the woman couldn't move, but also couldn't die.

Just thinking about this kind of pain made one feel as uncomfortable as having ants crawling all over their body.

"Even if gaining freedom means welcoming death afterward." Saul silently completed the words the woman couldn't say.

"BOOM!!!"

The room door was suddenly blasted open.

A golden electric net exploded violently.

Even though he was still some distance from the door, Saul felt all the hair on his body stand up.

And just as he turned to look at the door, the woman's face suddenly struggled to emerge from the stain, pressed against Saul's ear, and said something.

Afterward, as if all energy was consumed.

The woman's face, along with the stain on the wall, completely dried up in an instant, crackling as it fell from the ceiling and shattered with a snap.

No longer could one tell that there had once been a person there, a desperate soul.

The woman's consciousness completely disappeared with the collapse of the pollution.

"Thud thud thud thump!"

In the next second, another woman staggered backward into this underground room, stepping on the black ashes on the ground.

She was covered in wounds, her clothes already tattered, golden electric arcs flashing continuously from head to toe, looking extremely disheveled.

"Miss Lucy?"

Saul hadn't expected that when he saw Miss Lucy again, she would be in such a state.

Upon hearing Saul's voice, Lucy's first reaction was to directly attack Saul.

Several lightning bolts twisted into the shape of pythons, heading straight for Saul with great momentum, the scorching current containing murderous intent.

Saul, still maintaining his levitation spell, retreated rapidly.

However, the electric python that missed its first strike actually turned its head and attacked Saul again.

Saul retreated while his lips moved constantly.

Then he had nowhere left to retreat, his entire body pressed against the corner.

In the next second, the electric arc python suddenly opened its huge mouth toward Saul in the corner.

At the same moment, a barrier composed of golden electric arcs suddenly appeared in front of Saul, withstanding the python's first attack before directly conducting its current into the nearby wall.

The nearby wall surface immediately turned black and emitted a burnt smell.

Seeing Saul's series of responses, Lucy, who had originally wanted to make a move, was stunned and quickly withdrew her attack.

"Are you Saul?"

Saul's hair was slightly frizzed as he observed Lucy through the gaps in the Electric Light Shield.

"It's me, Miss Lucy. How is it that you don't recognize me?"

Lucy breathed a sigh of relief and stared at the door again.

"Just now, the ceiling suddenly transmitted powerful and chaotic radiation, and our consciousness was all affected. We even couldn't help but want to attack each other."

"Does Lucy want to explain that she attacked me subconsciously under influence?" Saul thought secretly, "No, when she saw me, her expression was clear, her eyes changing from original wariness to terror. It doesn't seem like a reaction influenced by violence."

What Lucy said might not be the truth, making Saul increasingly vigilant.

Lucy didn't notice Saul's wariness; she kept watching the door vigilantly, as if some enemy might emerge from there at any moment.

She swept the surroundings with her peripheral vision and was surprised to find that there were many highly decomposed corpses here.

"You've been here all along? We clearly searched this area." Lucy seemed to be asking Saul, but she didn't pay attention to his reaction, still staring at the door.

Just as Saul was about to speak, suddenly!

A slender arm pressed against the outward-opening door.

Then Kismet, with disheveled hair, poked his head out from behind.

"Ah! Got you."

Kismet's gaze then turned to Saul beside Lucy, his smile becoming even more joyful, "Caught another one."

Looking at Kismet's appearance, Saul figured he was probably having another episode.

Lucy looked at Kismet very nervously, as if she had just suffered at his hands.

"What are you doing? Why did you suddenly start fighting?" Saul also retreated. Without understanding the reason, he didn't want to get involved casually.

"He's gone mad. When the chaotic radiation came from above, he suddenly started attacking us. He destroyed Red Beard's body, severely injured Brando, and has been chasing me until now."

"Hehe!" Kismet laughed in acknowledgment, then suddenly made his move. Though he didn't seem to take out his harp, the sound of strings filled the air.

"Be careful!" In the emergency, Lucy only had time to warn Saul before her whole body erupted with golden lightning again, like a huge flower bud wrapping around her body.

However, the massive electric light trembled violently in the string sounds, then shattered piece by piece.

Finally, Lucy was blasted against the wall behind her and fell down.

Saul watched everything that happened in the blink of an eye with surprise.

He knew Kismet was strong, but he hadn't expected that when facing Lucy, who was also a second-rank elite, he could almost completely overwhelm her.

Kismet's sonic resonance attack seemed more powerful than what Saul had seen before, able to easily break through the magic barriers Lucy created.

Moreover, Lucy had been running and defending all along, obviously knowing that her attacks could no longer harm Kismet.

At this time, Kismet glanced at Saul sideways, his voice sinister, "Don't worry, after I kill her, you're next."

Saul's face was solemn, but actually completely confused.

Kismet grabbed at the air with both hands as if grasping taut strings, then swung his arms. A piercing piano sound "twang" drilled into Saul's ear canal, hitting his eardrum hard.

The magic defense Saul had just raised was almost useless before being cut by the string sound.

He immediately felt warmth in his ear canal, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

But Lucy across from him was worse off. She struggled to surge with electric light again, only to be slammed against the wall once more.

Three huge wounds burst open on her chest, as if a giant beast's claws had viciously swept across.

The scene before him had completely entered silent mode. Saul's heart stirred, and he suddenly had his soul leave his body, attacking Kismet from behind.

His head instantly turned into a dense ball of yarn, expanding to fill the entire room when it scattered.

Then it grabbed at Kismet from all directions.

Kismet, who was about to attack Lucy again, immediately turned around, his fingers plucking the air, instantly severing several threads.

But there were too many threads composed of souls, and even after being cut, they still entangled together.

Kismet raised his eyebrows and only then stepped back.

A large number of soul threads fell to the ground without causing any destruction, but instead condensed together, becoming a new Saul.

This way, Saul managed to position himself between Lucy and Kismet.

A flash of amusement passed through Kismet's eyes, instantly turning into twisted madness.

However, just as he raised both hands, about to unleash his terrifying sonic magic again.

Milky white wind chimes suddenly emerged from the room's ceiling, floating above the three people's heads, yet making no sound at all.
