Chapter 91 Human Skin Kite
Seeing Luke give in, Fares' eyes lit up and he quickly said, "It was the old man flying the kite. He killed me, stole my head, and cursed me. He threatened me with the head, wanting me to wander the highway with Tonabeach forever, killing more riders for him and collecting more resentful power."
“But I won’t listen to him.” At this point, the headless rider even became complacent: “It doesn’t matter if there is no head. Ghosts don’t need eyes to see the road anyway. I put a helmet on my neck, which is almost the same as having a head. It’s just that the dark curse in my head is a little troublesome. If I don’t harm humans for a period of time, I will become more and more irritable until I lose control.”
When Luke first heard Fares' story, he thought it was just an accident. Unexpectedly, there was a master behind it.
He put away the long knife as a sign of goodwill and continued to ask: "Where is the old man flying the kite, who is he, what are his abilities, tell me everything you know."
Fares also hated the kite-flying old man very much, so he naturally investigated his situation. Now that he had a strong backer, he would naturally not hold back.
"He doesn't live in the city. I followed him before, and although he ran away, I still found out where he lives - it should be southwest of Tona Beach, where the highway and the railway intersect. In my perception, my head is also in that direction."
"He is a very cautious person and would not harm people multiple times in one place. In the entire Tonabeach, it seems that he has only harmed me, and he disguised it as an accident."
"However, I still found a way for him to harm people, that is through roads and railways. He can control things like kite strings and enter people's bodies. People will die only after leaving this area, so he has never attracted the attention of demon hunters."
After saying a lot in one breath, Fares' headless body turned towards Luke expectantly, as if waiting for him to nod and let him go.
"Good news." It seems that there is indeed a deep hatred, otherwise they would not have gone to so much trouble to collect clues about the other party.
However, Luke was not sure whether the Dullahan had made up a lie to deceive him in order to escape. Coincidentally, he was not familiar with the terrain here and needed a guide.
So, he put a little bit of mental power into his hands and patted Fares on the shoulder: "From the first time I saw you, I felt that you looked kind. We are destined to be together! We are brothers when we meet, and your hatred is my hatred! I will help you deal with the old man flying the kite! Brother, lead the way, let's go meet him."
Fares really wanted to ask, I don’t even have a head, how did you find I look familiar?
Unfortunately, the black aura burned by the power of holy light on his shoulders reminded him that when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
Anyway, he had a seemingly strong superhuman as his helper, who was definitely much stronger than a ghost like himself who could do nothing but racing. Maybe there was some hope for revenge.
Unconsciously, he had been affected by the effect of 'Robin's Teeth', which increased his persuasive ability.
At worst, you can just stay in the car when you get to the destination, and then if you see that the situation is not good, just step on the accelerator and run away.
No one can catch up with Fares on a motorcycle!
nobody!
Under the threat of [Spirit Fang], Fares was very reasonable. He put on the helmet he had just thrown away and went with Luke to the area where the kite old man might live.
The journey was long, and Luke even found a gas station to refill his tank halfway. Fares didn't need to refill his tank, as as long as he didn't take off his helmet, ordinary people wouldn't be able to notice that his helmet was actually empty.
A few hours' journey was enough time for "Robin's Teeth" to play a greater role. The two gradually became familiar with each other, and Fares also had a general understanding of Luke's character, knowing that as long as he didn't do anything stupid, he would not die.
He actually began to feel some anticipation for the revenge that had lasted for decades. The atmosphere between the two of them unexpectedly became harmonious.
Heading southwest along the deserted road, Luke originally wanted to use the crystal ball to sense something, but unfortunately there was the interference of Fares around. Whenever he took out the crystal ball, it would always be highlighted as "there is a monster".
The crystal ball can't be used, so I have no choice but to observe with my naked eyes and try my luck.
However, according to the general rule that extraordinary beings are attracted to each other, and Luke's natural charm of attracting monsters, he felt that the probability of him encountering the so-called kite-flying old man was quite high.
Two motorcycles, one black and red, the other pure black, were running recklessly in the uninhabited wilderness, leaving the strong wind behind.
Racing! Cool!
It’s fun to go for a ride too!
This kid is pretty good.
Fares's non-existent eyes looked at Luke from time to time. In Fares' eyes, anyone who loved racing was not a bad person.
Not long after, Fares suddenly turned his helmet and shouted to Luke: "I can sense my head! It's not far ahead, almost there!"
Finally found!
After a moment, Luke could already see the kite flying high in the sky. In order to prevent himself from losing his head like the unlucky Fares, he slowed down. The Spirit Fang was also recalled and hovered in front of him, ready to attack at any time.
Just as Fares said, the kite-flying old man was indeed not far from the junction of the highway and the railway.
Looking along the long dragon made of steel, Luke saw a mobile stall converted from a bus. The old man was actually selling kites in this deserted place.
He must be sick.
Seeing Fares and Luke, the old man's face flashed with surprise. He asked the Dullahan in astonishment: "Farewell? How dare you come to me? It seems that the lesson I taught you last time was not profound enough. I can't let you get away this time."
Luke took off his helmet, turned around and asked Fares: "Didn't you just say that you tracked him and then he ran away?"
Fares didn't even raise his head, so it was impossible for him to blush. He mumbled in defense, something about the theory of position relativity and that if I was the fixed origin, then he had run away.
Seeing that Fares had a companion, the old man looked at Luke and asked with a smile: "Young man, are you Fares' friend? Do you want to buy a kite?"
Luke was about to reply when he suddenly felt a chill in his heart and smelled a strange odor.
He got out of the car, quickly took two steps back, and observed carefully, only then did he discover a thin, almost transparent silk thread in the air.
The silk thread was floating towards his neck with the breeze in the air.
Old silver coin!
Unethical sneak attack!
Luke directly pulled out [Thunder Flash] from the [Endless Stomach]. The pitch-black long knife cut through the air and an arc of electricity burst out at the place where it cut the silk thread. In the silver-white electric light, there was also a faint flash of holy light, which cut the silk thread directly.
The old man flying the kite's face, which was originally full of smiles, immediately became hideous and terrifying.
"Dare to destroy my shadowless silk!"
This silk thread is also a very precious prop to the old kite flyer. It is the key to his ability to secretly harm travelers, and it is also his trump card to kill enemies silently.
As the saying goes, if you don't know the enemy's background, then use your full strength first. Shadowless Silk is his most concealed ultimate move.
But now, it’s been let go, it’s gone.
The kite-flying old man was furious. With a wave of his hand, dozens of kites on the mobile stall flew up and rushed towards Luke in unison.
Lao Deng! If you can't afford it, don't play!
Not knowing what effect those kites had, Luke didn't dare to rush into the encirclement. He decisively activated the [Shelter of Wind] effect and retreated far away with a few big steps.
After he was more than ten meters away from the kites, he finally took the time to check on Fares. As a result, Fares had already run nearly a hundred meters away. Damn you! You can't be trusted at the critical moment. You're a little too skilled in strategic shifts.
No longer caring about Fares' life or death, Luke focused his attention on the kite that was flying rapidly towards him.
The spirit fang circled around his arms, and then under the control of his mental power, he rushed towards the kites.
With two "puff" sounds, the holy light attached to the mental power flickered slightly, and with the cooperation of the [Pierce] ability, the two kites were pierced by the spirit teeth one after another.
But it was unknown what material this kite was made of, and it was extremely tough. After penetrating it twice, Lingya was already at the end of its strength and was about to be wrapped up by other kites.
【Toothache Treatment】!
The control took effect, and the kite's encirclement momentum paused slightly.
Luke quickly controlled [Spirit Fang] to move up and down, find a route through the gaps in the kite, and return to his side.
The two kites were destroyed, and the old man's anger level soared again.
It's not like he hasn't encountered extraordinary people before. In fact, at least 5 of these kites were made from the human skins he personally peeled off from some ignorant extraordinary people.
They are all carefully tanned, with a large amount of other materials refined inside, and have been strengthened by mental strength for more than ten years. Although they look thin, the defense of each one is comparable to that of a bulletproof vest. It is basically difficult for ordinary extraordinary people to break even one.
However, that strange bullet-shaped thing actually broke two kites in a row, which was even more painful than killing him!
Could it be that the other party is also a level 3 transcendent?
However, even at the third level, there are strong and weak ones. I have dozens of kites!
"I will peel off your skin and make it into a kite! I will peel it off while you are still alive!!!"
The kite-flying old man cursed angrily, and then blew out a strong wind from his mouth, driving the kites forward faster.
Luke quietly slowed down, pretending to be caught up by the kites, while at the same time he took out a small cylindrical dark blue cutie from his [Endless Stomach].
Pull the safety catch!
The kites were about to reach Luke's head, blocking all the sunlight in the sky, leaving behind only the distorted shadows of pieces of human skin.
It's now!
As the human skin kites swooped down like giant birds, Luke threw the incendiary bomb in his hand to the ground. Then, all his strength burst out, and he ran away as fast as he could, as if a dog was chasing and biting him.
In just one or two seconds, under the effect of [Shelter of Wind], Luke escaped more than ten meters.
However, he was not running away from the old man flying the kite, but charging towards the old man flying the kite, and escaping from the effect of the white phosphorus incendiary bomb.
【Death Hunt】Mark!
Lao Deng, here I come!
The speed of Luke's sudden burst of energy startled the old kite man. He had a few of his favorite kite guards in front of him, and was about to command the kites that had just fallen to the ground to turn around and surround them, when suddenly, a violent fire burst out from the middle of the fallen kites.
"boom"
High temperatures of over a thousand degrees instantly surrounded the kites on the ground, and the sticky white phosphorus fuel attached to the human skin kites, igniting them all.
Although the kite-maker had done special fire-proofing when making these human skin kites, unfortunately, the high temperature of over a thousand degrees was still too hot for the human skin material to withstand.
After all, what good person would imagine that the enemy is going to blow him up with a white phosphorus bomb when making props?
Therefore, they were all burned to ashes little by little in the sight of the old man flying the kite.
But at this moment, he no longer cared about feeling sorry for himself.
Because Luke's long sword flashing with lightning was already within reach, and the even faster [Spirit Fang] pierced through a human skin kite and rushed towards his last layer of defense.
Lao Deng!
Your death star is flashing!
Driven by the "Tearing Wind" effect, [Spirit Fang] accelerated forward with a hurricane trailing behind it.
Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!
Under the threat of death, the old kite player reached out and grabbed his favorite human skin kite, which came from a level 3 [Shield Guard]. It was a brutal battle, and the opponent tore into pieces more than a dozen of his kites, but in the end he was wrapped up by other human skins, unable to exert his strength, and finally suffocated to death.
After the shield guard died, he spent three days peeling off the opponent's skin bit by bit and made this kite with the strongest defense in his hand.
With the touch of the old man with the kite, the human skin kite suddenly softened, wrapped the old man and merged with him, instantly transforming him from an old man with half of his body in the coffin into a sturdy and strong man.
"what!"
The macho man threw a punch and actually knocked [Spirit Fang] away.
However, Old Man Feng Kite was not feeling much better. Under the effect of [Death Hunting], the damage of Lingya was almost doubled. Although he was a third-level transcendent, he was also left with a deep wound on his fist.
Good guy!
It was the first time that Luke saw a body that could block the sharpness of [Spirit Fang]. Is this the power of a third-level transcendent?
How come it is much more powerful than the Wendigo I encountered before?
He braked suddenly and stopped.
slip away.
Originally, seeing that the old man was about to die, he thought that relying on his youth and strength, and the physical fitness that had reached the level of a soldier king, he wanted to use [Lightning Flash] to harass him at close range and cover Lingya's attack. Now it seems that he was too naive.
Until your swordsmanship is further improved, or you reach the third level, and your physical strength exceeds human limits, you should still focus on long-range attacks.
According to Luke's experience, the opponent's second form will not be able to last too long. As long as he can delay for a while and wait until his transformation is finished, he can reap the victory on the battlefield.
——The theory is perfect, but the reality is not what Luke wanted.
