Otherworldly Affairs Office-Chapter 834: Small Tricks

In a tranquil yet luxurious manor in the Magic Realm, a long dining table was laden with enticing delicacies. Three men were seated in the main position and two sides of this table. A light screen appeared on the stone wall of the hall, showcasing the team event of the Sword Discussion Conference that drew the world's attention. Since it was a cross-realm broadcast, there inevitably was a delay when the images were transmitted to them. Currently, it was the moment when Flamel dominated with the Meteor Technique, crushing Pei Yan.

Unlike the men at the main position and two sides who were staring at the screen with tense expressions and sweating brows, the man sitting in the main position was a corpulent middle-aged man who seemed uninterested in the match, focusing solely on the pile of food in front of him, stuffing it into his mouth.

Indeed! He was eating frantically! On a table where no one was competing for food, and with a maid continuously serving fresh dishes, this man was filling his stomach with almost a frantic intensity, as if he wouldn't have another chance to eat if he didn't do so right now.

With Pei Jin's unexpected rise, the battle on the screen suddenly shifted. As the two men seated on the sides nervously grasped the table corners and stared intently at the screen's fight while unable to sit, the eating fat man's face suddenly changed. His arms holding the food were forcibly pulled apart by an invisible power.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" The room was filled with shrieks from maids scared into madness by the terrifying sight, each fleeing chaotically. The two nervous men, glancing at the torn-in-half corpse at the main position sides, then back at the ongoing battle on the screen, slumped back into their seats despondently. Shortly afterward, as if simultaneously reaching a realization, they grabbed the food before them, now splattered with foul blood, and began stuffing it into their mouths madly.

"Jade is dead, one less puppet substitute." The knight guarding at the room door coldly looked at the farce before him, harshly reprimanding the hysterical maids to continue serving the remaining two men before turning to send this news out via Secret Technique.

"Phew! Thankfully!" Oblivious to all this, Pei Yan responded to his sister's concern with a grinning effort that inadvertently twisted his wound-ridden face into an even more terrifying expression.

"Thankful? Stop pretending! You're clearly about to collapse!"

Suddenly, Flamel's voice transmitted from mid-air, immediately drawing the siblings' attention. As they gazed towards the emerging figure in the void, Pei Jin wore a perplexed expression, thinking that her recent attack should have actually hit Flamel himself. If it were Super-speed Regeneration, she could understand why the split corpse turned into a pool of sludge, and then Flamel was able to appear intact before her once again.

With his face enclosed by a helmet, Pei Yan blew cold air to alleviate his pain, seeing his sister's confusion and explaining: "These people have all sorts of bizarre life-preserving methods. I heard Director Mei, who once battled a witch from the Magic Realm, say he ground the witch to dust, yet she still revived. It's likely a puppet substitution technique, transferring fatal harm to a sacrificial puppet."

"Heavens!" Upon hearing this explanation, Pei Jin rolled her eyes. A single Flamel was already so difficult to deal with; who knows how many sacrificial puppets he has. If he has ten or eight, wouldn't it drag you to death eventually?

"About to collapse? Then feel free to attack and give it a try!" Pei Yan said as he puffed out his chest, smiling lightly at the equally pale-faced, heavily panting Flamel: "Seeing you like this, you seem injured worse than me despite your efforts to defeat me!"

Saying this, he turned to look at the battlefield behind him where repeated chain explosions stirred space fluctuations, before looking back at Flamel and continuing to taunt: "It seems your companions summoned more helpers, yet failed to subdue my friends! Shall we wager on who among them secures victory first to come and assist?"

"Humph! Sure! Then let's wait and see! I'll see how long your guys can hold out against the Round Table Knights!" Flamel replied to Pei Yan's words. He knew this was Pei Yan's delaying tactic, but as Pei Yan mentioned, he had paid a considerable price to kill Pei Yan, especially after repeatedly casting forbidden spells and failing to eliminate him, subsequently being interrupted. The backlash caused by this, if experienced by others, would likely lead to insanity and broken meridians.

Both he and Pei Yan needed time to recover from their injuries!

This gamble that triggered a mid-break ended with Ye Ruozai's arrival, marking victory and simultaneously ending the brief balance between the two parties.

"It seems you fought hard!" After the exchange of pleasantries, Ye Ruozai gazed at the war-torn battlefield and expressed sincere amazement.

"The commotion you stirred wasn't small either, these two guys are tough nuts! Old Ye, can you still fight?" Pei Yan turned to Ye Ruozai, smiling and asking.

"Hehe!" Ye Ruozai chuckled and self-deprecatingly replied: "Facing competitors as monstrous as you two directly, It's difficult for me now. But disrupting and harassing the opponents to make them spread thin is something I can still manage."

"That woman is adept at Spatial Magic, which is quite tricky. You must be cautious or you might find your brain relocated without warning. Flamel can easily wield high-level magic from various disciplines and even cast potent forbidden spells. Once engaged, keep the pace quick to prevent him from having an opportunity to unleash forbidden spells!" Pei Jin briefed Ye Ruozai about the two. At this moment, Pei Yan's expression changed as he interjected: "Haha, the reinforcement from the opposite is about to come out."

"Was your puppet substitute destroyed?" Upon hearing this, Pei Jin instantly grasped that he referred to Azar trapped in parallel space, and, in surprise, pursued the question.

Pei Yan shook his head, smiled bitterly, and replied: "No! That person cannot defeat my puppet substitute, it's just that the parallel space can't withstand the clash of the two and is about to let Azar break free!"

Saying this, Pei Yan showed hesitation and uncertainly proposed: "If it really doesn't work! I'll merge with the mechanical puppet. This way..."

"No way!" Upon hearing this, Pei Jin and Ye Ruozai simultaneously rejected in unison, their faces darkening. Ye Ruozai refrained from speaking further, as Pei Jin had already voiced out. Pei Jin stepped forward to admonish: "We've seen what consequences arise when you merge with it! We're not at the end of the road yet, no need to take such risks! I'm still here and so is Old Ye! Keep that technique for individual battles when absolutely necessary!"
