Chapter 321: 305

“Catch them.”

Following the command of the priest, numerous figures in black robes surged forward in the underground space.

But to their shock, they discovered faint spots of light appeared on Karno’s body, thin threads that looked like ribbons, twinkling with a white light that was not dazzling yet very clear.

Then, those pale threads of light instantly flew in all directions, tightly binding many of the figures in black robes.

“Is that man an Extraordinary Exponent?”

The figures in black robes were horrified as they tried to tear off, to cut the threads on their bodies, only to realize they couldn’t even touch them, as if they were on a completely different layer.

“What’s going on?”

“What are these things?”

The Priest of the Stars Embrace Order, who moved faster and was not entangled by the pale threads, decisively ordered, shouting loudly to the people around, “Kill him!”

Karno calmly spoke, “I advise you not to do that, for fate can have great ups and downs.”

However, the figures in black robes completely ignored his advice.

What followed was a flurry of attacks, some driven by extraordinary power, and still others produced revolvers and hand crossbows, intending to kill Karno outright without any hesitation.

Yet, in the next moment, something astonishing happened.

Instantly, several mysterious figures in black robes screamed in agony, dying on the spot, while Karno, who was bombarded with numerous attacks, emerged completely unharmed, standing serenely in place.

The black-robed priest murmured in astonishment, “How can this be possible?”

“What happened?”

Ebner was stunned, similarly staring at Karno, completely unable to comprehend what had just happened.

He wasn’t particularly surprised by the revelation of Karno being an Extraordinary Exponent, yet that miraculous display shook Ebner to his core.

Karno remained silent, for what he had just used were two of the three extraordinary powers of the “Unpredictable Sorcerer.”

They were the “Weaving of Destiny” and the “Lock of Destiny.”

The ability of “Weaving of Destiny” allowed him to link his own “fate” with that of the black-robed figures’, causing them to suffer the same harm as himself within a minute.

And “Lock of Destiny” momentarily froze Karno’s “body” at that previous point in time, so he would immediately revert to his original state after taking any damage.

Even though the “Weaving of Destiny” and “Lock of Destiny” consumed a significant amount of spiritual power, when used correctly, they could have very powerful effects.

The powers of the “Unpredictable Sorcerer” were formidable and unforeseen, consuming a lot of spiritual power, too. Had it not been for the “Path of Revelation” nearly maximising his spiritual power limit, Karno might have been completely drained.

Even so, Karno now had less than half his spiritual power remaining.

“Who exactly are you?”

The priest of the Stars Embrace Order asked angrily, but Karno simply smiled and extended his hand, casting the spell “Sword of Thunder,” which he had drawn through the Power of Consecution of the “Proficient One.”

Electricity crackled from his palm, and with a thunderous blast, he swept across the room in an instant—everyone but the swift mysterious priest perished under the flickering thunder.

“…”

The black-robed priest quickly turned around and attempted to escape through another cave leading from the underground space without uttering a word.

He hoped to escape successfully, but was suddenly shocked to find another Karno standing there, immobilizing him with surprise.

“What’s going on?”

“Could all this be an illusion?”

The silver-haired Karno stood guard there, while the Karno from behind had already caught up, calmly using a weaker version of the Sword of Thunder to knock out the priest, opting not to kill him directly.

Because Karno still needed to interrogate this black-robed priest about many things regarding the Stars Embrace Order, so he couldn’t kill him outright.

The final extraordinary power brought by the “Unpredictable Sorcerer” was the “Illusory Mirror Image,” which allowed him to create a special mirror image that could simulate any person or object.

This special mirror image didn’t possess a real entity, but it could speak, and what’s more, it could be precisely maneuvered by Karno from kilometers away.

It was somewhat similar to the extraordinary power “Body Double” of the “Mysterious Scholar,” but not quite the same.
