Chapter 860: Chapter 270: Puppeteer? Old Man Strikes Four!
Barre Shepherd glanced at the four “Knights Below the King” who were bristling with killing intent.
The previously lazy and indolent look in his eyes finally swept away the muddiness, sharp cold light flashing forth.
Still, he was in no rush to make a move.
While gathering air, he also carefully observed the fluctuations in the air flow of each person.
“Four-eyed Weird Monk” Karan, “Forbidden Curse Master” Jolin, “Red Dragon” Hogan, and a Puppet Master “Puppeteer” Domingo, who had never shown his face to the world before.
The first three, no matter how strong, were still within expectations.
...
But that cloaked Puppet Master gave Barre Shepherd an unfathomable feeling.
Suddenly, over a hundred puppets appeared, their joints creaking and groaning.
Though they were but lifeless objects, their wooden eyeballs rolling around, they all focused on Barre Shepherd.
The old man’s expression remained unchanged.
Observers, on the other hand, felt a chilling sensation on their backs.
It was as if countless ghosts and undead spirits were watching, sending shivers down their spines.
It wasn’t an illusion.
These puppets, indeed, had cursing spirits sealed within them.
Barre Shepherd, watching these puppets appear en masse, smacked his lips and said, “The stuff of legend, the ‘Trickster’ Sequence of the Six-Tier Profession ‘Puppeteer’? This branch is quite rare indeed. I thought this sequence had become extinct after the battle two hundred years ago when ‘Odd Puppeteer’ Yami died... Puppets forming an army, one man destroying a nation. Tsk, I didn’t expect to have the fortune to witness it today...”
His tone was genuinely reflective.
As if he was seeing a legendary sequence come out of history.
Encountering such an opponent was very exciting.
With just one look, the old man gave his opponent a high degree of affirmation, adding, “To control a hundred with one, your skill level is no less than that of the Puppet Master from two hundred years ago.”
This was said to be a performance only Gods and Demons could see.
The Puppeteer, playing with Gods.
But in his eyes, there were not just people.
There was also flowing ‘air’.
All things possess air.
...
The onlookers around couldn’t quite comprehend what was happening.
Barre Shepherd, who had lived for over a century, had never seen this technique, let alone the bystanders.
Puppet Masters were already uncommon in the Professional Sequence,
And no one had seen a “Puppeteer” of the Legendary Realm.
Everyone’s eyes were filled with confusion: What should have been a fierce battle has suddenly turned into a stage play?
And the artistic quality was extraordinarily high!
Melodious music drifted through the air, giving one a sense of relaxation like a lullaby on a lazy afternoon.
As they listened, they found themselves unintentionally immersed in it.
It was really quite enchanting...
Within that mellifluous melody, it seemed as though souls found comfort.
Even Leonard Churchill was so captivated at the moment, unaware his pupils were dilating.
However, Sophia Jones at his side drastically changed color and shouted sharply, “Run!”
Forcing down her injuries, she pulled Leonard Churchill and quickly retreated.
Leonard Churchill seemed to awaken from a dream in that instant, realizing what had happened, “That ‘Nursery Rhyme’ can paralyze the spirit with a lullaby?”
Just as the two had retreated a hundred meters away, a bizarre scene unfolded.
Upon awakening from the daze, one could see the puppet choir’s singing as visible sound waves rippling through the air.
At that moment, the air rippled like water waves, extending to the nearby largeness area.
Upon a closer look, all the buildings in the street vibrated in unison with the rhythm of the music.
One might even think the houses were “dancing.”
