Four Split Personalities

Chapter 2435 - 1146: Whisper of the Wind (Part 2)

An uncontrollable force of an invisible qi swept across the desolate plains, like a strong wind blowing through.

The Original Sin, newly proven in this world, ravaged madly. Even its vessel could not easily subdue it.

If Mo were not wandering alone here at this moment but was instead still in that small tavern in the center of Beaver Town, even just a little leak of its aura might turn that town into history.

"Mind your own business."

The face of that Bard, unclear for some reason, flashed through his mind. Mo sneered. After the first round of the massive explosion of ’concepts’ dissipated, he put on the Mask [Seal Sin].

As various attributes in his character panel rapidly declined, the ’concept’ surrounding him that could drive any intelligent creature mad vanished as well.

But...

"It should have been detected by now."

He turned and glanced in the opposite direction of Sky Pillar Mountain, pressing forward step by step.

The armor on his body, long overburdened, shattered with a crash, replaced by an exquisitely made black suit. The wide cape named [Shattered Cage] behind him danced savagely, and the low-rank enchantment on his longsword instantly scattered, replaced by a pair of pale white, black-rune-covered, spindle-shaped short blades about eighty centimeters long that entered his backpack in the next second.

The Mask [Seal Sin], initially covering only the upper half of his face, began to twist and quickly transformed into a fully covered mask, smooth like a mirror, hiding his features completely.

Simultaneously, accompanied by a series of cracking noises from his body, Mo’s stature suddenly increased by nearly ten centimeters, with his previously unobtrusive muscle contours becoming much more pronounced.

In an instant, Mo had turned into a different person.

Then, his body flickered, shooting forward with a speed far beyond an ordinary Epic-tier Thief.

...

Three minutes later

"Stop."

A crisp warning sound suddenly echoed under the night sky while a greenish flow descended from above like a meteor.

Mo stopped silently, allowing that green flow to crash down in front of him and, at the same moment, transform into countless branches that tightly bound his body in place.

"Hello, monster."

The elf woman with long golden hair appeared silently atop the vines tightly constraining the target’s body, looking down at the strange presence emanating an ominous aura. She coldly said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Qiu Lu · Bamboo Leaf, currently an unemployed Ranger, and also serving as an agent for Sky Pillar Mountain."

"Hello, scum."

Mo slightly raised his head and, with a low and husky voice from beneath the mask, said, "What do you want with me?"

"Yes, I plan to decide depending on the situation..."

The woman named Qiu Lu · Bamboo Leaf casually took out a crystal from her pocket and said indifferently, "Whether to choose to kill you on the spot or take you back to those High-level Observers for research."

The next second, the [Revelation Crystal] shattered violently, and a black beam shot into the sky.

"It seems your luck is good, monster who killed Fala Osis."

Qiu Lu’s gaze slightly narrowed, and she threw two seeds that appeared in her palm onto the ground, saying coldly, "You can live a little longer..."

"Perhaps."

Simultaneously piercing the elf Ranger’s throat and back heart with the [Sin of Scissors] from his waist, Mo spoke calmly, "But it seems your luck is not so good, elf."

In the next moment, the figure of Qiu Lu · Bamboo Leaf vanished abruptly from its place, while two vines with a diameter requiring two people to embrace burst from the ground, encircling Mo, who had freed himself from the bind using re-developed Shadow Step.

"Perhaps my strength is indeed not as great as Osiris’s, but what about you, monster?"

Three arrows in a triangular formation tore through the air, perfectly blocking Mo’s escape angles, forcing him to choose between being entangled by the vines or having his arms pierced.

[Half-step Legend, huh...]

As Qiu Lu struck again, Mo had already precisely determined her strength. He flicked his finger, conjuring several bolts of lightning out of nowhere to barely restrain the three arrows’ momentum and subsequently sprinkled several scorching fire wheels to repel the vines that fiercely swept from below.

"Oh, not just a Thief but a Mage as well?"

The elf woman, proficient in Ranger and Druid arts, laughed while her gaze grew colder: "How familiar~"

A low growl, not at all matching her style, escaped Qiu Lu’s mouth. Leaping in place, she transformed mid-air into a giant leopard, entirely white with a moon cycle emblem on its body.

Mo, attempting to widen the distance, had just stepped back half a step when the predator silently circled behind him. Although his right hand’s [Sin of Scissors] immediately countercut, he could not complete the counter, and within seconds, he was forced back towards the thick vines by the ’Moon Blade Leopard’s’ sharp teeth and claws.

This Agent, possessing half-step legend power, did not display any profound combat skills nor make the scene as dazzling as gods battling; she merely expanded her advantage steadily, each strike elegant, lethal, and masterfully timed.

She did not want to cause much commotion. In fact, Qiu Lu · Bamboo Leaf never intended to capture this monster single-handedly; her prior words were only to paralyze her opponent. The smart elf had only one goal from the start, which was to stall the enemy!

At least three agents were rushing here at the fastest speed, and Sky Pillar Mountain had likely also dispatched special task forces for precise combat. Thus, she only needed to constrain the monster, which finally surfaced, as much as possible.

Unfortunately, although her mind was meticulous and her acting flawless, the ’monster,’ who had anticipated this scene days ago, had made even more thorough preparations.

Honestly, breaking through was somewhat simple, perhaps even dull.

Taking one of Qiu Lu’s claws directly, Mo’s health points instantly dropped by 18%. He casually took out a Random Teleportation Scroll specially prepared for him by Bishop Oxyris and tore it in half with slight effort.

"Damn!"

Though Qiu Lu quickly reverted to human form, throwing a radiant amulet to disrupt the teleportation, she was ultimately a fraction of a second too slow, watching helplessly as the blinding silver light exploded before her, engulfing that cursed monster.

Only when the opponent’s aura vanished from the air did the amulet, filled with holy aura, explode suddenly, sending out a dazzling golden ripple like the morning sun, disturbing the elemental flow in the air.

"Really... Such a loss."

A young elf under four hundred years old gnashed her teeth, stamping her foot, then dejectedly bent to pick up what was once a pristine amulet, now without its luster, murmuring, "If it’s discovered I used it so casually, I might get beaten to death."

But after all, being Sky Pillar Mountain’s agent, Qiu Lu · Bamboo Leaf soon collected her previous discouraged demeanor, took out a small green notebook, and quickly recorded what she had just seen. Due to the great importance of the matter, her notes were exceedingly detailed, almost capturing every detail of her and the monster’s actions, like writing a novel...

In summary, a report of ’an existence highly suspected to be the Shadow of Apocalypse, responsible for causing the Banther City tragedy and leading to Agent Fala Osis’s demise, recently appearing in the Northwest continent, possessing dual-class Epic skills of Mage and Thief’ was thus completed logically.
