Chapter 92 New Ability [Grotesque Painter] and Fares's Token
After all, his [Protection of Wind] was just an ordinary amulet, and the other party also possessed the ability related to "wind". Although he was now in the form of a rough and sturdy man, the old man Kite still controlled a gust of wind to increase his speed, even three points faster than Luke.

Damn it, I can’t run away, so I might as well turn around and fight him!

Luke's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he was about to turn around and attack with a knife, but before he could make a move, "beep", a motorcycle drove over from the side.

"Hey! Brother! Get in the car!" The headless knight Fares stopped in front of Luke with a dashing tail swing and patted his back seat.

Good brother! It's up to you at the critical moment!

Luke was overjoyed. After getting in the car, he even had time to give the middle finger to the rough version of the Kite Old Man who was chasing after Yufeng.

Damn you!

Sure enough, when leading Tonabic, nothing could catch up with Fares, not even the wind.

At Luke's signal, Fares kept a distance from Old Man Flying Kite, always taking the initiative in the relationship, while he himself took out weapons from his [Endless Stomach].

Now, in terms of single-shot damage and armor-piercing ability, the [Spirit Fang] has surpassed the rifle to a certain extent, and its concealment is even stronger, so Luke’s first choice just now was the [Spirit Fang].

But now, if you want to play modern horse archery, the AR-47 is the best choice.

"Tattahtatt" "Tattahtatt"

The sound of rifle bursts of fire echoed far away in the wilderness. Although the shield skin of old man Kite had amazing defensive power, according to common sense, ordinary rifles could no longer cause him any harm.

However, the existence of [Death Hunt] allows these bullets to penetrate his defense, and Luke's shooting skills are very accurate. If these annoying bullets are not blocked, it will be really troublesome.

Damn!

The old kite-flying man cursed in his heart again, and at the same time decided to let Luke go for the time being, and then make more kites and come back to trouble him.

And that damned mosquito-like disgusting Fares, destroy his head when you get back! Smash it! Stuff it in the toilet!
Unfortunately, now it is Luke and Fares who don’t want to let Old Man Kite go.

Seeing the other party turn around and run away, Fares understood what he meant and immediately chased after him.

When the other party turned around, he continued to retreat.

Anyway, all the kites in the old man's hand were destroyed, leaving only the one fused to his body, so as long as he kept a certain safe distance, he could escape at will. Even if the opponent ran to the wilderness and there were no convenient roads, Fares' motorcycle, which was condensed from obsession and part of his soul, could move forward and backward freely as if it were flat ground.

At first, the old man with the kite was just annoyed.

But soon, his mood turned to panic.

Because he also realized that if he continued like this, he would die!
He stood there, holding up his defense, and shouted, "Fares! Get him out of the car now, and I will give you your head back and remove the curse from you!"

Fares was unmoved and shouted contemptuously: "When you die, I can also get my head back. I can sense it. It is nearby."

Old Man Feng Kite did not give up and continued to tempt him, "Even if you get your head back, you can't remove the curse. Only I can remove the curse. If you kill me, you will have to bear the dark curse for the rest of your life!"

Dry!
Luke's heart tightened. I hope this guy won't turn against us at the last minute. He was ready to jump out of the car and was about to use [Mockingbird Teeth] to strengthen his persuasiveness and consolidate Fares's fighting will. Unexpectedly, the Headless Knight was more determined than he thought.

"Come on, old man! You killed me, stole my head, and now you want to trade my head with me?"

"Even if I have to bear the dark curse forever, I will kill you!"

"At worst, I can just continue competing with others outside of Tona Beach!"

Good! Good brother, you have backbone!
After hearing Fares' words, Luke fired a burst of bullets in response, then pulled out the magazine and put it back into his [Endless Stomach], then took out another one full of bullets, loaded it, and continued firing.

Old Man Kite's shield guard skin lasted for more than ten minutes, but it was not his own skin after all, and especially under Luke's constant harassment, it could not be used for a long time.

Eventually, he exhausted all his mental energy and let the shield skin that represented the ultimate defense fall off his body.

After changing back to old man form, his defense was greatly reduced. He used the only remaining shield kite to barely block the bullets for a moment, but once [Spirit Fang] was used, after several back and forths, the last kite was penetrated and lost its effectiveness.

"what!"

With a scream, Old Man Feng Kite's brain was pierced by the [Spirit Fang] and he fell limply to the ground.

Seeing this, Fares happily let go of the handlebars, stood up on the motorcycle and cheered. If the motorcycle was not a part of his body, he would have fallen badly with this operation.

After all, we are not on a road now, but in a bumpy wilderness.

However, Luke still didn't relax because the panel still didn't give any hints.

Lao Deng can’t have any more fun so he just pretends to be dead, right?
Luke pulled a grenade from the package, pulled the ring, and threw it over.

"boom"!
Before Old Man Flying Kite could get up and run away, the grenade exploded.

This time he's really dead.

The so-called kite old man is actually not a human being, but a dark and bizarre story that was transformed from a human skin kite. The body of this old man was also directly wrapped around the owner who created it when it was born, and he took over his body and plundered it.

So although the [Spirit Fang] pierced its brain and caused severe damage to it, it was unable to kill it completely.

With nowhere else to go, it can only disguise itself. If it can survive, that would be the best.

Moreover, he has a trick up his sleeve, which is to forcibly separate himself from this aging body and try to possess another body again, so that he can be reborn.

However, this forced separation was very dangerous, so he would rather continue to use this old body than take the risk.

But now that he is seriously injured and dying, he naturally no longer cares too much.

Unfortunately, the plan was perfect, but under the unreasonable golden finger of the panel, no one knew how to fake death better than Luke.

The Kite Old Man, who was already seriously injured, had no time to implement his plan and lost his life completely in the powerful explosion wave caused by the grenade.

"Kill a Level 3 spiritual creature"

"Obtain extraordinary skills - [Dark Leatherworking]"

"Detected existing skills - [Skinning] (Proficient) [Painting] (Expert)" "Skills fusion, acquiring new skills - [Grotesque Painter]"

“【Grotesque Painter: Use monster fur as paper, spiritual blood as ink, and a flash of inspiration as an opportunity to create dark summons that can appear in the world.】”

A skill has been released! It's a fusion skill, and it looks very powerful.

Luke patted Fares on the shoulder, and the other party understood and stopped the car. The two of them went to the place where the grenade had just exploded.

The flesh and blood of old man Feng Kite had completely dissipated without the protection of the power of his skin, leaving only a dark yellow, broken human skin that looked weird and evil.

"Is he really dead now?" Fares asked with lingering fear.

Luke checked and found that there was no trace of the enemy's body, and their skin had rotted away. Apart from the skills revealed by the golden finger, there was no loot at all.

However, there might be some unexpected gains on the bus.

He nodded and said firmly, "If you die, go find your head."

"Yes!" Fares shouted, got on his motorcycle, and without even waiting for Luke, he sped away towards the bus.

Luke was not in a hurry either. During this half day, he and Fares had already established a friendship, and after fighting side by side just now, this friendship was sublimated a little bit, and with one more word added, it became comradeship.

He was confident that Fares would not just take the head and run away.

And Luke had no intention of killing him to gain experience points. Even if he ran away, it would not be a big loss for Luke.

Walking slowly back to the mobile stall of the kite-flying old man, Luke saw Fares sitting on the ground holding a helmet, with a round ball next to him, probably his head.

However, his mental state did not look very good. Although no expression could be seen on his empty neck, a depressed and low breath kept emanating from him.

"What's wrong?" Luke asked, "Is what Old Man Kite said true? Can the curse be broken?"

"Not only that," Fares' muffled voice came, "There was a kite string next to the bus, and my helmet was tripped by the string."

That's it
After much difficulty in getting revenge, he also got his head back. These two happy things happened at the same time, which should have made him doubly happy.

However, even though Old Man Feng Kite was dead, he still did some harm to him. Although there was no substantial harm, he was indeed severely humiliated. No wonder he looked so depressed.

Luke walked over, sat next to Fares, patted him on the shoulder, and consoled him: "Think positively, at least you are still conscious and can still drive fast. That old Deng is dead."

indeed!

Luke's words, which slightly carried the power of "Mockingbird", made Fares excited again. He was originally carefree and simple-minded, and only loved racing. Otherwise, after being cursed by the dark curse, he would not have not become a murderous evil spirit, but instead turned into a racing ghost similar to a fun ghost.

Thinking that he could still continue racing, other worries were immediately thrown aside.

He picked up his head and handed it to Luke, motioning for him to have a look.

"My body was burned to ashes, but my head was stolen, so it has been preserved until now. I don't know whether it is lucky or unfortunate."

It is unknown what kind of preservation method was used for this head, and it is wrapped in special human skin. It is preserved very well, and you can even vaguely see Fares's slightly smug expression on it.

This headless knight looked quite silly when he was alive, no wonder he was still a funny guy even after his death.

Luke didn't mind this 30-year-old head. He took it and looked at it, and then tried to touch it with his mental power. Sure enough, a strong dark aura emerged from it continuously, as if there was no end.

He originally thought that the curse that the old man Feng Kite mentioned was just a trick he used to threaten Fares when he was on the verge of death. As long as he died, the curse he had cast would naturally disappear. Now it seems that what he said was actually true, and the curse in Fares's head is still continuing.

Looking at the head, Luke asked Fares: "Does this head have any effect on you? I mean, is it a necessary condition for your existence?"

"Besides, now that you have found this head, why are you still headless?"

Fares was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said, "It seems...it seems not. The foundation of my existence is not that head."

He still had some brains and vigilance left, so he didn't reveal his possession directly.

"My current body is already fixed. Without a head, there is no head. Even if I get this thing, it won't grow back. But it doesn't matter. As long as I have the helmet to cover it, it's fine."

"In that case," Luke pointed at the head, "If you don't have any attachment, then if we completely destroy this head, will your dark curse disappear as well?"

"After all, the curse of Old Man Kite uses your head as a carrier to connect with your ghost. Without your head, can the curse still exist? Even if it exists, can it find you?"

what?
Fares's brain froze for a moment.

I kill my head?
What plot is this?
But if you think about it carefully, this suggestion is not impossible.

Fares fell into deep thought...

The more Fares thought about it, the more he felt it was feasible.

He looked at his head, then at Luke. After a moment's hesitation, he turned around and handed the head to Luke: "You do it. I can't do it."

It felt weird to destroy his head in front of others.

For Fares, it was a strange experience to watch someone else ravage his head, so he simply drove away.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the headless knight finally felt that the curse that had been entangled on him began to dissipate, and then he drove back.

Luke didn't say, and Fares didn't ask, about how the head was destroyed or where the wreckage was. Let it remain a little secret, buried forever in this wilderness.

The next step is to pack up the things left behind by the kite-flying old man.

After destroying all the finished kites, there were not many things left on the stall. Luke looked around and found a sharp knife, which seemed to be used by the old kite maker to peel the skin. Although he didn't know the specific effect, the resentment entangled on it showed that it was obviously not an ordinary item.

In addition to the knife, there were three semi-finished tanned leather bags, two of which were obviously from humans, and were set on fire by Luke. The other one was much larger than a human, and looked like a giant bear. Luke rolled it up and put it into the [Endless Stomach] along with the knife.

In addition, there were some miscellaneous raw materials that Luke did not recognize before, but after obtaining the ability of [Grotesque Painter], he roughly understood that these were the materials needed to tan special leathers.
