836 "Tossing Food" (1/2)
At that moment, the shadow seemed to turn corporeal. It was ice-cold and moist, and it instantly bound Klein within it like he was a mosquito in amber.
Klein's figure was squashed and compressed as he regressed into a piece of paper, rapidly turning into mush.
Paper Figurine Substitutes!
Having sensed the danger ahead of time, he had made timely use of Paper Figurine Substitutes!
His black-robed figure appeared on the other end of the dining table as he opened his mouth, producing a bang sound.
At this moment, Klein's mind suddenly turned adrift as he found his surroundings blurry and unclear.
He instantly understood what was happening. He had been forcefully pulled into a dream!
And with this, he determined one point—his abnormal ability of maintaining his lucidity and rationality in dreams had already solidified and become one with him. There was no need to use the gray fog to do so!
After a brief struggle, Klein suddenly snapped awake and saw the shadows in the building slowly surging at him like a tidal wave.
Bang!
He opened his mouth and produced an extremely mighty Air Bullet.
This bullet struck the shadow, producing a huge swath of white.
The shadows around the whiteness immediately receded and filled it to the brim, returning everything to normal once again. Klein took this opportunity to roll to the side and turned his left glove pale with a tinge of dark green.
With a clap, the spot he stood at was smashed by a lump of flesh and blood that flew out from the shadow, covering the dark red carpet that was covered with strange mold.
In an unobvious manner, Klein had a feeling that he was being weakened. Without any time to think deeper into the matter, he immediately made his feet produce an icy layer that emanated cold air.
White frost crept up and rapidly froze the shadow. Underneath the crystalline frost was a squirming and warping pitch-blackness, like oil that had its own life.
Zombie's Ice Stun!
Klein did another flip and changed his position while making his glove produce black granules that were profound and dark.
Right on the heels of that, he straightened his body, and facing the shadow beneath the layer of ice, he said a word filled with foulness, a word that came from the Devil language:
Slow!
Suddenly, Klein saw the shadow's squirming slow down. Clearly, it was in an extremely sluggish state; however, his thoughts had also turned sluggish, preventing him from dealing any follow up attacks.
His Language of Foulness had been distorted, and although it was clearly directed at the shadow, it had been distorted to target the entire living room; hence, affecting himself.
In just seconds, Klein extricated himself from the slowed state, and without any thought, he lunged for the dining table, picking up a plate with half a piece of steak and throwing it at the shadow.
During this process, his left glove remained dark black, but it had a sinister and noble vibe.
Bribe!
He had used the steak to Bribe the enemy, weakening the other party's offensive, defensive, and controlling abilities!
At this moment, the figure suddenly shrank back into the corner of the wall, allowing the dining plate to smash and shatter into the melting ice.
Then, the figure surged upwards, taking the form of a pitch-black figure with a hooded robe.
In the palm of the figure, a transparent and blurry book appeared in front of him. It was accompanied by a distant and indistinct chant: ”I came, I saw, I record.”
Just as the chanting sounded, the book rapidly flipped through the pages and produced a burning-white spear.
Mr. A? Has he gone completely mad? He dares to use fire-related Beyonder powers in such an environment? Klein's heart tightened as his thoughts raced. He hurriedly rushed towards his opponent and held his left hand behind him.
Creeping Hunger was quickly tainted with the dark colors of corruption before condensing a ridiculous great sword that seemed to be combined from scarlet magma and blue-hot flames.
Thump!
Klein's footsteps were heavy as he bent his back, pulling his shoulder back as he forcefully delivered a strike with his left arm.
The muscles on his arm bulged as he swung the Sword of Lava!
Pfft! The resplendent great sword cleaved down on the fiery spear, sending sparks of white, blue, and red scattering in every direction as they ignited the chairs and curtains.
The murmurs outside the street had long vanished. All the indistinct figures had turned over and there was extreme silence.
After shattering the fiery spear with a cleave, Klein bent his knee and genuflected, snapping his fingers with his right hand.
Pa!
The flames in the entire room were extinguished.
Klein didn't move any further. He had a nagging feeling that a dense array of gazes were trying to see through the curtains to seek out any abnormalities.
The hooded man formed of shadows didn't take any action as well. Although he was acting crazy just moments ago, he seemed to have sensed the inexplicable horror that was slowly approaching.
