Through the divination ability of the "Faceless Necklace", Hobert saw several people lying or standing in a dilapidated house.
Hobert saw that the knife wound on the "Pyromaniac" had begun to flare up. His face was pale, and he was curled up under the blanket, shivering.
The "Baron of Corruption", on the other hand, leaned against the wall, obviously so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open, but he didn't dare to fall asleep.
A young man with all his hair burned off was changing the towel for the "Pyromaniac" and washing the "Baron of Corruption's" face with cold water.
This should be the young man who was hit by the "Holy Light" in the previous battle and was rescued.
As for the captain of the "Cold Night Squad", the "Disciplinary Knight" was standing with his arms folded, frowning as if he was thinking of a solution.
The divination image ended here, and Hobert withdrew from the "Dream Divination". He sighed again: The ability of divination is really useful!
This made him a little envious of Klein's pathway again.
However, he was just thinking about it. Overall, he still preferred to charge into battle and didn't like putting all his "skill points" on "intelligence".
Hobert unhurriedly put on his clothes, but he only brought two cloaks, and there were no new cloaks to wear.
Over this period of time, Hobert had gradually come to like the Feynapotter-style cloak, which looked really more mighty.
He planned to have the tailor in town make him a few when it dawned, just to stimulate domestic demand.
Then Hobert took off the "oil painting" from the wall, held the "Faceless Necklace" in his other hand to locate, and at the same time, he injected his spirituality into the "Traveler's Knife" and used the "Travel" ability.
The space in front of Hobert suddenly became illusory. He stepped into the spirit world, and under the guidance of the "Faceless Man Necklace", he quickly came out of the spirit world again and arrived in front of a somewhat dilapidated house.
Hobert didn't give the people inside a chance to react. He held the oil painting in front of him and used "Blink" to suddenly appear in the house.
The positions of the four people were similar to those in the divination image, except that the spirituality of the "Disciplinary Knight" and the "Baron of Corruption" had realized the danger, and they had already made defensive postures.
But all this was too late. As Hobert had designed, the "Disciplinary Knight" happened to see the "oil painting" that Hobert was holding in front of him.
He said with a reluctant expression, even a bit distorted: "What a wonderful landscape!"
Although the function of the "oil painting" was very simple, its level was not low. At least the Sequence 5 "Disciplinary Knight" could hardly avoid its influence.
Seeing this oil painting again, the "Baron of Corruption" showed a terrified expression, obviously having been tortured badly in the past few days.
The monster with eyes growing on its chest appeared again and sent curses to the four members of the "Cold Night Squad".
"Distort!"
"Baron of Corruption" "distorted" the target of the curse again.
"Exile!"
The "Disciplinary Knight" exiled Hobert. In his opinion, that monster posed no threat to them at all.
A huge force pushed Hobert out of the house. During the process of being "exiled", Hobert threw the "oil painting" into the yard. After the "exile" process ended, he also came to the yard and immediately opened his arms to embrace the sun: "Holy Light".
A huge pillar of light pierced through the roof, filling the entire room with holy light.
After the "Holy Light" ended, Hobert saw in the devastated room that the monster had already been purified by the "Holy Light".
The Sequence 8, after being hit by the "Holy Light" again, was kneeling on the ground, burning all over: "Praise the sun!"
The "Pyromaniac" was convulsing all over, looking like he was not far from death. If it were some rituals of the Sun pathway, it could heal the knife wound on his body, but "Holy Light" was an attack-type Beyonder power. Although the knife wound was reduced, the "Pyromaniac's" life was also coming to an end.
The "Baron of Corruption" seemed to have avoided most of the "Holy Light" attack, but he hadn't dared to fall asleep in the past few days, and his condition was already very poor. After being attacked by the "Holy Light" in his spirit, he directly began to lose control.
And the "Disciplinary Knight" had already escaped. He really didn't have the energy or the way to take care of his teammates now.
Hobert didn't chase, but killed the "delirious" "Baron of Corruption" and the "Pyromaniac" who only had one breath left.
The Sequence 8 had already been burned to death. Even after being burned to death, he still maintained the posture of praising the sun.
Using the "Spirit Wine Glass" to accelerate the extraction of Beyonder characteristics, after collecting the Beyonder characteristics, the surrounding villagers were awakened by the sound just now and were rushing over to check.
Before they arrived, Hobert picked up the "oil painting" and manipulated the corpses of the "Baron of Corruption" and the "Pyromaniac" to carry away the charred corpse.
He kept manipulating them into the river not far away before Hobert used a low-flying form to observe the surroundings by the light of dawn.
Not far away was Full Moon Lake, which was not far from Hobert's territory.
After identifying the direction, Hobert used "Travel" again to return to the lord's mansion.
Back in his bedroom, Hobert looked at his pocket watch. The entire operation only took less than eight minutes, most of which was spent manipulating the corpses into the river. The time used for the battle was only less than twenty seconds.
This was the power of a surprise attack. The "Baron of Corruption" and "Pyromaniac", who were not in good condition, could hardly play a role in such a battle.
Hobert smiled: This is called using one's own methods to treat one's own person!
Since the "Cold Night Squad" liked sneak attacks so much, Hobert would sneak attack back, and not just once!
Hobert sacrificed the three Beyonder characteristics to the "Nation of Disorder". After returning to the real world, he immediately lay down and used meditation to fall asleep as soon as possible.
When it was more than six o'clock in the morning, after dawn, Hobert woke up again. He took off the oil painting and performed divination again: "The current location of the 'Disciplinary Knight' marked by the oil painting this morning."
"The current location of the 'Disciplinary Knight' marked by the oil painting this morning."
"..."
The reason why Hobert said the divination words so detailed was because he was afraid that the oil painting had marked other "Punishment Knights" before.
But the two-handed sword was different. Hobert had only used it to chop people before, and those people were dead, so it couldn't be called a cut, so the divination words could be simpler.
After reciting the divination words seven times, Hobert used meditation to enter a half-sleeping and half-awake state again.
He saw the "Disciplinary Knight" sitting in a clump of dry grass, closing his eyes to rest.
Hobert expected correctly, this moment was the most tired time for a person, especially for someone who had been running around all night and had hardly closed his eyes. Even an Beyonder would not be able to resist finding a place to rest.
But the "Disciplinary Knight", having learned the lesson from the "Baron of Corruption" before, didn't dare to sleep, so he could only close his eyes to rest.
Although the result of the divination may not be immediate, Hobert also added the word "now" in the divination words, which meant that it should be something that had just happened. Even if there were changes, it shouldn't be too big.
Hobert pondered for a while, and then used the method of bestowal to take out the revolver that he had put in the "Nation of Disorder" before.
Among the spoils of the "Cold Night Squad", there were some pistol bullets.
Hobert immediately loaded the bullets into the cylinder and opened the safety.
Then he held the gun in one hand, hung the "Faceless Necklace" on his wrist, held the "Dream Stealing Pocket Watch" in his hand, and used "Travel" again to step into the spirit world.
Under the guidance of the "Faceless Necklace", Hobert quickly left the spirit world again.
When the colors in front of him became colorful, Hobert was ready for battle.
As soon as he left the spirit world, Hobert saw that there was still obvious fatigue on the "Disciplinary Knight's" face, but the reminder of spirituality, he had already stood up, but he hadn't had time to put on a fighting stance.
Obviously, the "Disciplinary Knight" didn't expect that Hobert could still chase after him.
Hobert first reached out and grabbed to steal the "Disciplinary Knight's" thoughts for the next second, and then he immediately fired, firing continuously, firing all six bullets.
The "Disciplinary Knight" immediately dodged after regaining consciousness, but he was still hit by four bullets one after another.
The bullets themselves would certainly not cause much serious damage to the "Disciplinary Knight", but the effects of "murmurs" and "pain" attached to the bullets made the "Disciplinary Knight's" expression distorted, making it difficult to carry out effective counterattacks for a while.
Hobert first summoned "Lightning Strike". Although the "Disciplinary Knight" tried his best to dodge, he was still struck by "Lightning Strike", and his whole body became charred.
Immediately afterwards, Hobert opened "Holy Light" on both arms!
A huge pillar of light fell, and the "Disciplinary Knight" was completely swallowed by the pillar of light.
After the pillar of light, Hobert saw that the "Disciplinary Knight" had a scroll burning in his hand, obviously he had used some ability to avoid most of the "Holy Light's" attack just now.
Even so, the "Disciplinary Knight" was already very embarrassed now, his clothes and hair were burned a lot, and the paralyzing effect of "Lightning Strike" obviously hadn't completely passed.
Seeing that this didn't seriously injure the "Disciplinary Knight", Hobert quickly poured spirituality into the "Spirit Wine Glass": "Underworld Gate!"
The simple and terrifying gaze of the "Disciplinary Knight" last night reappeared, and he was immediately grabbed by strips of pale arms, and his ears were filled with chilling screams.
The "Disciplinary Knight" was immediately impressed by these negative effects. He looked very weak, breathing heavily, and trying to reach into his pocket, as if to take out some magical item.
Taking advantage of the opponent's weakness, Hobert drew his knife and stabbed it into the "Disciplinary Knight's" chest and abdomen.
The "Disciplinary Knight" immediately showed a surprised expression, obviously unable to defend against Hobert's attack.
But when Hobert walked up to him, the "Disciplinary Knight's" outstretched hand seemed to suddenly become strong, and he took out another scroll from his pocket and threw it at Hobert: "Blazing White Spear!"
The scroll suddenly ignited a huge flame, forming the appearance of a spear. The "Disciplinary Knight" sent it forward and stabbed it into Hobert's chest.
Pfft~
All that was left in front of the "Disciplinary Knight" was a paper doll.
Hoo~
The paper doll was immediately burned by the "Blazing White Spear". Hobert appeared a few meters away. He saw the smile on the "Disciplinary Knight's" face and knew that he had been tricked just now.
A Sequence 5 with rich combat experience was still not too weak after being hit by consecutive Sequence 5 level abilities. Not only that, but he still had the mind to plot against Hobert.
Immediately afterwards, the "Disciplinary Knight" threw the "Blazing White Spear" in his hand towards Hobert, and he could easily hit the target without aiming.
Hobert quickly used consecutive "Blinks" to avoid the "Blazing White Spear".
At this time, the "Disciplinary Knight" took out another scroll, and countless magma spewed out from the scroll, melting and burning the pale arms again.
After escaping, the "Disciplinary Knight" immediately fled!
Hobert chased after him in a low-flying manner.
"Flying is prohibited here!"
Hobert fell from the low altitude. If he were to compete in speed alone, he would not be able to catch up with the "Disciplinary Knight" at all.
However, Hobert didn't intend to chase after him relentlessly. At the same time as the "Disciplinary Knight" escaped, his advantage of surprise attack was also lost, and he might fall into a hard battle next.
So after trying to chase without success, Hobert used "Travel" again to return to his room.
He found the last bottle of potion he bought from Viscount Glarint that could speed up the recovery of spirituality and drank it in one gulp.
From last night to now, he had used "Underworld Gate" twice, "Holy Light" twice, and "Lightning Strike" several times. These abilities with great attack power consumed a lot of his spirituality.
At this time, Hobert felt that his spirituality was only one-third left, making it difficult to carry out a third surprise attack.
But the time for the third surprise attack couldn't be too far apart. If he gave the "Disciplinary Knight" time to set up traps or find reinforcements, then this war of attrition might continue.
After drinking the potion, Hobert also asked the kitchen to prepare breakfast for him in advance.
While waiting for breakfast, he used the method of meditation to sleep again, which helped to restore spirituality.
After sleeping for only more than thirty minutes, Hobert was awakened by Roy and went to the restaurant to have breakfast.
After eating unhurriedly and drinking a sip of tea, Hobert felt that his spirituality had recovered most of it. He looked at the time. It was not yet seven o'clock, and only fifty minutes had passed since the last surprise attack.
But if he were to compare the state, he thought his state was much better than the "Disciplinary Knight's".
So Hobert divined the location of the "Disciplinary Knight" again. He was still running, his face was full of fatigue, and even simple running could make a Sequence 5 sweat profusely.
And the direction the other party was running was the village where Hobert first attacked them.
Hobert seemed to understand something. After checking his magical items, he used "Travel" again to appear in front of the "Disciplinary Knight".
The "Disciplinary Knight" showed a terrified expression at this time. Of course, he could see that Hobert's state had recovered a lot.
He gasped for breath: "Exi..."
Before "Exile" could be shouted out, Hobert had already reached out and grabbed to steal his thoughts. Immediately afterwards, Hobert's image suddenly became tall: "Death!"
He punched out, hitting the target when the "Disciplinary Knight" had just regained his senses, knocking the opponent away.
Following Hobert with a "Blink", he stabbed the Tang knife into the "Disciplinary Knight's" heart.
