That bloodstained spear, which seemed to have appeared in an untraceable ancient era, absorbed all the presence in the room and instantly stabbed into the body of "Arcane Saint" Butis.
The stiff brown-haired Butis's figure suddenly turned illusory, transforming into a double-leafed deep black door.
At the same time, he appeared behind the "Door", in a different world from the terrifying spear, gazing at it from afar.
The next moment, the spear, stained with dark red blood, pierced through the deep black door and entered the space where Butis was.
Butis's figure kept retreating, constantly shifting, turning into one illusory door after another. Some were composed of two bent stone giants, some had a fist-sized hole beside the crack, some were studded with silver nails, and some were covered in mysterious patterns. Layer upon layer, one after another, countless and overlapping.
Silently, the "Spear of Longinus" continuously pierced through these illusory doors, without pausing in the slightest, not giving "Arcane Saint" Butis a chance to escape.
In less than a second, the bloodstained spear, radiating a strong sense of destruction, shattered countless illusory doors, and after its aura significantly dropped, it finally truly stabbed the target in the chest.
Butis's body instantly cracked into countless fissures, like a ceramic object that had fallen to the ground.
With a crackling sound, the "Arcane Saint" turned pitch black, disintegrated into fragments, and scattered all over the floor.
This didn't seem like his true body, but rather his shadow.
This was the Shadow Substitute Art he had "Recorded" from a Sequence 3 saint under the "
Of course, if the layers upon layers of "Doors" hadn't weakened the "Spear of Longinus", Butis felt he would likely have shattered together with his shadow and true body.
After narrowly dodging this strike, Butis, suppressing the dizziness and the impact of
This giant snake was so huge that it filled Butis's eyes, its surface covered in dense runes and symbols forming mysterious wheels.
It joined head to tail, merging with countless illusory rivers, evolving into a blurry, unreal, slowly rotating great wheel. Around the wheel were various symbolic symbols representing different futures.
Suddenly, the black fragments that hadn't disappeared from the ground flew up one by one and reassembled into Butis.
The "Spear of Longinus" stained with dark red blood rapidly retreated through the swiftly forming illusory doors until it returned to the twisted "black mass" in front of it.
The aura that inspired intense fear receded like a tide and left the room.
The "black mass" covered in cracks and eyeballs wriggled and restored itself, turning back into the woman in a dark hood and a black robe with purple patterns.
Everything returned to before the "Ugly Duckling" magic was used.
"Restart of Fate"!
This was one of the rewards "Arcane Saint" Butis had obtained from his previous subversion of the Abraham family—a Sequence 1 Beyonder power "Recorded" from "Fate Angel" Will Aureus.
Of course, it was vastly inferior to the original version, only able to "Restart" three seconds of reality, only able to "Restart" this one connected room, unable to affect even the entire first floor of the apartment.
As soon as the "Restart" ended, "Gloomy Saint" Cema, who seemed prepared, immediately took action.
The twisted shadow he grazed, originating from a Blood Count, opened its arms in a gesture of embracing the crimson moon.
The darkness around Cattleya surged, instantly forming one illusory but solid black chain after another, firmly binding her in place.
The flesh covering the floor, walls, and ceiling surged and gathered together, transforming into a knight covered in black full-body armor, wielding a deep greatsword, incredibly imposing.
In the gaps of the "Black Knight's" visor, two deep red lights flickered, instantly locking onto the hooded woman beside the pumpkin carriage.
The shadow under Cattleya's feet suddenly came to life, grabbing her ankles and rising like water, tightly entangling her.
"Black Knight," "Subjugate Shadow"!
Then, the giant knight, nearly touching the ceiling, as if from myth and legend, took a step and charged to a place not too far from the target, swinging his long, wide, and deep greatsword.
On the other side, a silvery-white illusory book flipped rapidly in "Arcane Saint" Butis's eyes, stopping on one of the pages.
Butis then extended his left hand, reaching from a distance of twenty to thirty meters toward the pumpkin carriage, toward the mysterious woman in the black robe with purple patterns.
His arm suddenly elongated, its surface pitch black and sticky, seeming to flow with sinister liquid.
From this liquid grew pale skulls, eyeballs with prominent blood vessels, tongues with sharp fangs, and all kinds of grotesque things, making an extremely evil and extremely crazy feeling rapidly fill the air.
In the room, the ground instantly cracked, and the few cockroaches still alive stiffened and fell dead.
This was an attack from a certain state of "Divine Abomination" Sia!
Back outside Bayam, after "Arcane Saint" Butis was attracted by the "Spark" gloves, he seemed to only watch for a while, pick up the item, and leave directly, but in reality, he was desperately "Recording" the abilities or states of high-level beings.
