Chapter 198 - Make good use of special features

The silver charm, which was special, suddenly turned icy cold, like a crystal formed by layers of snowflakes. Klein shivered and his mind cleared up. The emotions of fear and panic seemed to be temporarily frozen. He quickly infused his own spirituality into the charm and pushed the thin silver sheet out of his pocket with his fingers, letting it fall to the floor. Dark red flames appeared in mid-air, and a series of faint and continuous explosions echoed. A sense of tranquility and depth instantly spread, covering half of the bedroom, enveloping Mrs. Sharon and "Insomniac" Cohen Li, and also Klein himself! The "Sleep Charm" itself was an item that didn't distinguish between friend and foe. When used normally, it needed to be thrown, thrown at the enemy. In this way, the user would at most be affected by the aftereffects and wouldn't be unable to resist the temptation of sleep. But now, Klein's arms were bound by countless invisible threads, and he couldn't throw the charm. He could only trade his own sleep for Mrs. Sharon's slumber! However, Klein had already considered and prepared for such a situation because it involved his own special ability, which was different from the special abilities of most mid and low sequence The extraordinary person. In an instant, Klein's eyelids drooped, and he fell into an abnormal sleep, entering a dream. Mrs. Sharon and the stunned Cohen Li also showed signs of sluggishness and pause. Under this abnormal mode, Klein quickly regained his self in the dream and knew rationally that he was asleep. Whenever it came to forced dream invasion and similar hypnotic effects, he could remain awake! This was the case when encountering Dunn's nightmare ability and when being possessed by Daley. Snap! Klein forcibly broke through the dream and woke up. He felt that the countless threads binding his arms, legs, and body had slightly loosened and were no longer taut. Mrs. Sharon beside the full-length mirror looked dazed, as if she was about to break free from the effect of the "Sleep Charm" but hadn't truly woken up yet. Cohen Li had collapsed on the ground, and the "Seer's Mirror" was upside down nearby, with the revolver having rolled to the door. Opportunity! Klein seized the moment when the threads had loosened and pulled out his left hand, snapping his fingers and lighting a pale blue spiritual flame. He used it to burn the countless threads in front of him. At the same time, he raised the revolver in his right hand and pulled the trigger continuously. Bang! Bang! Two silver bullets for hunting demons shot out of the barrel and headed towards Mrs. Sharon. Klein didn't bother to confirm the result. He bent his knees, used his waist and back to roll towards Cohen Li, and thus broke the threads wrapped around his body. His purpose for shooting was mainly to notify the captain outside and tell Dunn Smith that there was an accident inside and that they had entered a combat state, asking him to come for rescue as soon as possible. Of course, if he could directly hit Mrs. Sharon, that would be the best outcome and the most ideal development! But Klein didn't think that a possible Sequence 7 or even Sequence 6 extraordinary being would be so easy to deal with. Suddenly, pale blue flames burned in mid-air, all ignited by the threads. In this dreamlike scene, the two silver bullets accurately hit Mrs. Sharon's body. Snap, snap! Mrs. Sharon's semi-transparent sleeping gown and her figure that was barely visible disintegrated like a red moon in a lake. The full-length mirror beside her cracked, most of it turning into fragments smaller than a thumbnail, while a few still hung on the frame, each resembling a palm, with strange shapes. Substitute? An extraordinary ability of the Witch Sequence? Klein's peripheral vision swept past as he rolled to Cohen Li's side. Because of his movements, the threads were all broken, and the pale blue flames in mid-air didn't spread over. At this moment, Mrs. Sharon vanished, and Cohen Li, who was in a sleep state, stretched out his hands and choked his own neck, spitting saliva and sticking out his tongue, but still wouldn't let go. But in Klein's vision, there was nothing strange nearby! He suddenly thought of a description in the information about the Sealed Artifact "—0271": The most dangerous situation is seeing yourself! "Did Cohen Li just see himself reflected in the full-length mirror by the Sealed Artifact '—0271'?" Klein's mind flashed with this thought, and without thinking, he took out another silver amulet. It was triangular and it was an "Anima Pacification Amulet". "Phosphor!" Klein recited the ancient Hermes word while infusing it with his spiritual energy and threw the amulet. Then, he pressed his left hand down and felt the "Seer's Mirror". He had confirmed with the corner of his eye that this Sealed Artifact was facing down and wouldn't reflect himself. The triangular silver amulet burst into ice-blue flames, and a soft, peaceful blackness enveloped Cohen Li and also affected Klein himself. The tense and uneasy feeling dissipated immediately. Cohen Li's action of choking himself slowed down abruptly, and Klein no longer felt like he was in a battlefield but rather standing by a convex window at home, looking down at the quiet street at night. His body and mind thus gained peace. This was exactly the change Klein had hoped for! At this moment, he entered an extremely peaceful state. The entire world seemed to only have him, with nothing else existing. Taking advantage of this feeling, a premonitory thought flashed through his mind: Mrs. Sharon is going to attack my right waist! This was the "Jester's" premonitory ability in battle. Klein didn't hesitate and grabbed the "Seer's Mirror", rolling to the left. Just as he moved, a dagger burning with pitch-black flames silently stabbed towards the spot where he had been, aiming for his right waist. Mrs. Sharon's figure was outlined once again. While rolling, Klein suddenly lifted the "Seer's Mirror" and pointed it at Mrs. Sharon! He had approached Cohen Li not only to rescue his companion but also to pick up this Sealed Artifact. Otherwise, he didn't think he could hold out against Mrs. Sharon until the captain arrived for help and achieve a good outcome. The "Solar Flare Amulet" could be used against extraordinary beings, but its effect was not as good as against the undead, and the opponent wouldn't just stand there and let him use the amulet. If it really came down to it, Klein would have to take the risk of using the "Azik Copper Whistle". The explanation could wait until he was safe! However, things developed better than Klein had expected. Mrs. Sharon chose to stab instead of interrupting his use of the Anima Pacification Amulet and holding down the "Seer's Mirror". So, Klein instantly formulated a simple plan: not avoiding the aftereffect of the "Anima Pacification", thereby enhancing the "Jester's" premonitory ability, and then seizing the opportunity to dodge the attack and use the "Seer's Mirror" to reflect the enemy! Mrs. Sharon, dressed in a semi-transparent nightgown, missed her strike and was about to chase after the agile rolling opponent when she suddenly saw a mirror, a mirror with three small cracks. The water in the mirror rippled, and a figure of a woman emerged, her black and thick hair hanging straight down, covering her face. Klein's left hand trembled, and the "Seer's Mirror" slid forward along the carpet for several tens of centimeters, facing upwards. A pale hand stretched out from the mirror, and the figure in the white bedsheet-like dress quickly crawled out of the mirror and pounced on Mrs. Sharon. Mrs. Sharon's expression slightly darkened, her brown, innocent eyes tinted with a layer of darkness. Seven black flames swirled around her. Whoosh! One black flame shot out and hit the woman with her hair covering her face. Woo! The woman burst into flames, emitting a painful moan, and soon vanished. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! One by one, the black flames, like bullets, followed each other and shot towards Klein. Klein's pupils shrank, and he immediately rolled over, not daring to pause for a moment. However, his rolling movements gradually became sluggish because invisible thin threads wrapped around him, slowing him down and affecting his actions. This was simply the bane of "Jester" Gehrman's combat ability! A black flame brushed past Klein's face and landed on Mrs. Schellen's large bed, but it didn't burn. It seemed to only affect living or sentient things. Before Klein could feel relieved that he had dodged the previous attack, a premonition flashed through his mind. So, he suddenly pulled his spine and changed his forward roll into a side roll. A transparent ice crystal lance suddenly appeared and stabbed into the carpet, hitting the spot where Klein was originally supposed to be. White frost spread out, affecting Klein, whose movements were already hindered by the threads. He suddenly shivered and his body stiffened. Although he could still move, he was extremely sluggish. Seeing new black flames coiling around Mrs. Schellen and a transparent ice crystal lance forming in her hand, Klein no longer hesitated. He reached into his pocket and grabbed Azik's copper whistle. "Ho, ho, ho." At this moment, Cohen Lee shook off the effects of "Requiem" and "Sleep", got up, and stared blankly at Mrs. Schellen. His face seemed to be shrouded in a shadow, silent and eerie. "Deng, deng, deng." "Cohen Lee" pounced on the nearest Mrs. Schellen. Mrs. Schellen narrowed her eyes and let the black flames swirling around her body shoot out one after another, hitting "Cohen Lee". "Puh, puh, puh." Those black flames vanished like snowflakes, causing no effect. Klein was stunned for a moment, then raised his right hand and fired a shot at where Mrs. Schellen was currently. Bang! Mrs. Schellen dodged in advance and threw the ice crystal lance, but it only pierced "Cohen Lee", penetrating his clothes but not his skin, and failed to cause freezing. Bang! Klein fired another shot. Mrs. Schellen dodged to the side of the shattered full-length mirror and picked up a palm-sized fragment. She nimbly continued to move, dodging the bullets and using the irregular fragment to reflect the approaching "Cohen Lee", making his figure appear in the mirror. Then, while dodging, she wiped the mirror surface with her hand covered in black flames. At this moment, Klein ran out of bullets and had to throw the revolver and the empty cartridge cases onto the carpet. Just as he rolled over to pick up Cohen Lee's revolver, he suddenly heard his teammate's scream. "Cohen Lee" stopped, bent over, and began to vomit, spewing bile, a fresh red heart, and lungs and stomach that were burning with black flames.
