Chapter 202 Puppet and the Grim Castle

Chapter 202 Puppet and the Grim Castle

In the illusion, a sapling suddenly sprouted from Raphael's chest.

The sapling grew rapidly and soon pierced Raphael's chest completely, impaling his internal organs on the branches.

Click~

The carriage was also torn apart by tree branches, and soon a towering tree grew on the road.

Where the tree trunk meets the ground, Raphael's two legs lie across it, like two strange branches.

Miss Sharon sat on the largest branch, her expression still blank, her eyes looking somewhat vacant.

On such a dark road, there was a beautiful yet aloof woman sitting on a tree branch as if she were on a picnic. Anyone who saw this scene would wonder if they had seen a ghost.

Sharon held a wooden doll made from a tree branch in her hand. It was the clone of the "Master of the Illusion" who had spoken earlier, and she had already dealt with it.

She glanced at the tree trunk beside her. Everything had happened too fast, and more importantly, she was unfamiliar with the enemy's abilities, so she hadn't had time to stop Raphael from turning into a tree.

"I see a castle!" Raphael's voice suddenly came from the treetop. "To be honest, it's not bad to be a tree. Tall up, you can see so far."

Sharon looked up and saw Raphael's head hanging on the highest treetop.

She suddenly became somewhat ethereal, floated to the treetop, and then reached out her hand—

Raphael seemed to realize what Sharon was about to do: "Wait a minute—"

But it was too late to stop her; Sharon plucked Raphael's head off like a fruit.

With only his head remaining, Raphael couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, aren't you afraid of killing me?"

Sharon said, "This is an illusion."

Raphael said, "Who knows if the injuries sustained here will have any impact on the real world?"

Sharon didn't say anything, she just floated back to the ground.

Raphael was taken aback: What do you mean? This isn't within your considerations?

Sharon had just seen the castle too. She was carrying Raphael's head, walking along the dark path filled with strange trees, heading towards the castle.

Raphael fell silent. He was now a little afraid that Miss Sharon would play with his head like a ball, tossing it back and forth as she walked.

Miss Sharon didn't seem to be in a hurry, walking at a leisurely pace.

After walking for a while, she said, "The other party's abilities are very strange."

"It is indeed a bit strange, but it's not beyond our comprehension," Raphael said. "Previously, it demonstrated the ability to manipulate emotions and desires, somewhat like a mutation of the 'Apostle of Desire' ability. By manipulating desires and emotions, it interferes with our perception, thus creating hallucinations and illusions."

Sharon hummed in agreement, finding the explanation quite apt.

Raphael added, "Don't let it disrupt your rhythm. I mentioned to you before that I entered the illusion with a companion."

"It pulls us into a scenario and begins to directly affect our emotions and desires."

"Just now, it clearly didn't dare to attack you. When it attacked me, it had to guide me first, making me really believe that I had that seed inside me." This shows that it was wary of you.

"Of course, it could also be because I severely damaged it, making it unable to be as composed as before."

Sharon nodded before saying, "You are a qualified Extraordinary."

Even with only the head remaining, one can still remain calm and conduct rational analysis.

As she spoke, Sharon seemed to take a normal step, but by the time her other leg caught up, she had already arrived in front of the castle.

She could have come directly to the castle earlier, but because she hadn't figured out how to deal with the enemy, she didn't rush over.

Sharon didn't rush into the castle. Instead, she waved to the woods behind the castle, and several branches broke off and flew over, forming a simple human shape.

Then Sharon placed Raphael's head on top of the humanoid figure, like a stick figure holding up a normal head.

The next second, Raphael felt he could control the branches with ease. He tried to take a step forward, but he was unsteady. After all, he was like a bucket of water hanging on a pole, and it was difficult for him to maintain his balance.

However, after walking a few steps, he figured it out and exclaimed, "The abilities of a saint have reached an unbelievable level!"

However, he couldn't stray too far from Miss Sharon, because this essentially meant Sharon was helping to manipulate the branches, providing Raphael with some mobility.

Sharon seemed not to hear Raphael's words, and with another wave of her hand, the two gates of the castle opened instantly. At the level of "puppet," one can imbue inanimate objects with spirit, making them seem as if they have come to life.

"Stickman" Raphael hopped in, following the doorway. Inside, it seemed to be a battlefield, filled with broken corpses, entrails and severed limbs everywhere, and the blood still looked like it hadn't congealed.

Raphael chuckled. "It makes it sound like some powerful monster just wreaked havoc here."

.

No sooner had these words been spoken than the blood on the ground suddenly flowed in the same direction, eventually forming a humanoid monster draped in a blood-red robe in mid-air.

Sharon glanced at Raphael.

Raphael raised his "branch arm" and quickly explained, "I've never been this cynical before."

Thanks to Emperor Rosell's advance "education," Sharon knew exactly what "jinxing" meant.

Sharon then looked at the blood-formed monster again, raised her hand and pushed forward. The area around the castle gate seemed to be covered by an invisible ripple, and the bricks that made up the castle seemed to receive a command and smashed towards the "blood monster".

However, since the blood monster has no physical form, even when hit by bricks, it only creates a gash in its soft body, allowing the bricks to fly past.

Immediately afterwards, the blood monster dodged the bricks and flew towards Sharon and Raphael.

Miss Sharon seemed unmoved, quietly watching the monster fly closer.

wow~

Just as the blood monster flew to the unknown gate, the castle gate suddenly collapsed. Miss Sharon then raised her hand, and the two gates firmly pinned the monster down. But that wasn't enough; all the collapsed bricks and stones flew over and pressed down on the gate.

The monster below was still struggling, but it couldn't break free from the bricks and stones.

Raphael smiled. "That was a cool move."

Sharon seemed not to hear, and with another step, she and Raphael crossed the courtyard and appeared in front of the castle gate.

The inner door was opened, and the candles inside were lit as usual, but the room was empty.

Raphael laughed and said, "This has a bit of a ghost story feel to it."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a cold wind suddenly rose up inside, and a ghost appeared out of nowhere.

Sharon looked at Raphael with an expression that seemed to say: You still say you're not a jinx.
