Cheat Awakening
Chapter 573. The Puppeteer in the Shadows
Thud!
"Huff, huff, huff... Damn it, Garnet''s going to complain a lot. I didn''t expect that, despite holding back so much, I still caused so much destruction," Myne moved the debris of the houses aside before him and fanned away the dust cloud with a wave of his hand. The powerful explosion of Unique Magic: Lightning had already dissipated the black fog, and he could now see everything clearly.
His enemies, two four-meter-tall humanoid beings and two three-meter-tall beast-like monsters that had intended to attack him were now lying on the ground, groaning weakly. They seemed to have taken a heavy hit, and their bodies were paralyzed temporarily due to the lightning. However, even so, they had taken the matter of concealing their identities a bit too far. Even in their injured state, they were still hiding their bodies under a dense fog, revealing only their red glowing eyes.
"Let''s see who the hell you are," Myne muttered with a frown.
He first tried to appraise the fallen humanoid beings but, as expected, the skill didn''t work at all. So, he resorted to the old-fashioned way of uncovering identities. But first, to avoid a surprise attack, he threw three fireballs at one of the four-meter-tall humanoid beings. After all, to see his face, there was no need to keep him alive.
Nothing unexpected happened. The fireballs easily penetrated the black fog and landed on the creature''s stomach. Surprisingly, it was wearing high-quality iron armour that resisted most of the damage from Myne''s random fireballs. Soon after, the black fog once again concealed the armour, as if nothing had happened.
This didn''t discourage Myne. He snorted disdainfully and continued throwing fireballs. On the twenty-fifth fireball, the humanoid creature''s armour was finally breached, a hole appearing in its chest and instantly killing it. However, before Myne could celebrate, the other party suddenly exploded in a burst of black fog, leaving nothing behind. This caught him off guard.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
One by one, low explosions echoed in his ears. When he turned around, he realized that all his enemies, whose bodies were hidden within the black fog, had exploded in a chain reaction, leaving only black ash on the ground.
It took Myne a few seconds to regain his senses and realize that he had been played by the real mastermind behind the sense, and not only those two beasts but even those two humanoid creatures, whom he was thinking of the real kidnappers, were all summoning beasts of the other party. A highly vigilant individual who only sent out summoned creatures to do his dirty work.
"No wonder he had never been found by anyone. By using reverse summoning to recall his creatures when things went south, it would be a miracle if anyone could track him down. But now, what should I do? I don''t think Gandu''s master plan of tracking the other party through small animals of hunters would be going to work," Myne looked around with a hint of anger as he felt like a fool who was played around by someone. It was a very frustrating feeling to be toyed like this.
Ignoring the ghost in front of him using almost all willpower, Myne turned his head to look back and found an elderly ghost, probably in its 70s, with sparse hair, toothless gums, white eyes, and a creepy expression. The ghost was wearing a ladies'' erotic single-piece pink nightgown and was rubbing his transparent, bony hands on Myne''s buttocks with an expression as if he were on the verge of an orgasm. Occasionally, the ghost would stick out his long, pale tongue and give Myne''s buttocks a hard lick.
Although they were ghosts and had no sense of touch, Myne himself couldn''t physically feel them, but whenever they made contact with his body, that part felt as though someone had thrown him into a lake in the dead of winter. However, seeing their obscene acts—especially the old man''s ghost behind him—made Myne feel like he was caught by the world''s most dangerous beasts.
He let out a subconscious scream and jumped away with all his might. To keep the ghosts away from him, he frantically threw fireballs at them. Sadly, his fireballs were the basic version and had no effect on souls. They just passed through the ghosts'' bodies and bombarded some poor guy''s house.
BOOM! BOOM!
Myne didn''t care whether his attacks had any effect on those two ghosts or not. Even after landing on another house''s roof, he continued throwing fireballs, wanting to blast their evil souls to death.
"Huff, huff, huff... F*ck, tomorrow the first thing I''ll do is look for a skill that can deal with ghosts," Myne panted heavily as he looked at the dust cloud in front of him and wiped the sweat from his forehead. However, in the next moment, the two ghosts, laughing crazily, floated out from the dust cloud and hurried toward him as if they wanted to give him a sweet bear hug full of passion and love.
If they were normal ghosts trying to kill him, Myne, for a second might have mustered the courage to fight back. But faced with two perverts who had dark thoughts about his little pure body, there was no way Myne would let them come near him. Knowing that his skills wouldn''t work on them, Myne, while praying to all the gods to bless him, waited until the two ghosts got closer. Then, he used his trump card and opened a big portal between himself and them.
Both ghosts, clearly having some brain problems, didn''t expect Myne to play such a trick. They were caught off guard and sucked into the portal, which closed immediately.
"Phew, thankfully that trick always works..."
BOOM!
Myne hadn''t even had time to breathe a sigh of relief after getting rid of those two perverted ghosts when something like a metal ball landed in front of his feet. The next thing he saw was an eye blinding white light before he was blown away by the impact of a huge explosion.
