Mystery: The Ultimate Tarot

Chapter 21 actually triggered a demigod war.

This "living corpse" of the "licentious" faction was named Ackerman. He was somewhat stunned when he saw Raphael pull the trigger.

When he sensed that Raphael's spirituality seemed very unstable, he realized that the gang leader in front of him might be problematic, and he became secretly on guard.

But Ackerman never expected that Raphael would shoot him right in front of him!

"The Living Dead" Ackerman was not afraid of the bullets. The moment the gunshot rang out, he charged straight at Raphael, ready to twist the other man's head off.

But at that moment, a shadowy figure flashed by, and the next second, a pale-faced, brown-eyed man with intense malice and a slightly deranged air appeared in his pupils.

Ackerman was "possessed" by the other party and was immediately unable to move.

Da Da Da~

Raphael's burst of bullets hit Ackerman, focusing on his head, but unfortunately, he failed to break the skull.

The brain is basically the only weakness of the "zombie".

Ackerman's face was riddled with bullet holes, with many bullets embedded in his skull, making his face look grotesque and terrifying.

At the same time, Raphael immediately recognized that the one "possessed" Ackerman was actually Marich.

According to the information Bevan gave him before, Marich was a Sequence 6 "zombie", so it seems he was recently promoted.

Maric also gave Raphael a deep look.

Although Raphael had the help of himself and Sharon, Raphael's actions just now were also quite reckless. After all, Ackerman was a Sequence 6 and a "zombie" with extremely strong defense, so ordinary firearms would no longer cause him serious damage.

If Maric's "possession" had been a little slower, Raphael would have been in danger.

Ackerman, his tongue slurred and barely half intact from being shot, mumbled, "Marich...you're...a 'vengeful spirit'! Steve and the others...were really...killed by you and Sharon..."

Steve is a vengeful spirit of the "Indulgence Faction". Last year, the "Indulgence Faction" found Marich and Sharon's trail. Sharon asked Klein for help, and they set a trap to ambush Steve and two other "Indulgence Faction" Beyonders.

Ultimately, all three extraordinary individuals were eliminated, and Marich used Steve's traits to complete his advancement.

Upon hearing Ackerman's words, Maric, his eyes narrowed, gave a cold laugh and looked at Ackerman's right hand.

puff!

Possessed, Ackerman plunged his right hand, with its white-fingered nails, into his own heart.

The "living corpse," whose face had lost much of its flesh, revealed a hideous expression of pain.

After Raphael finished firing a magazine, he immediately changed to a new one. Just as he was about to fire, a cold hand suddenly grabbed the gun.

Two "zombies" controlled by Ackerman rushed over, stopping Raphael's attack and trying to pounce on him.

"Woohoo~"

Raphael let out a beast-like roar, his mouth and ears rapidly lengthened, and as thick, short gray fur grew on his body, he grew taller and taller, bursting through his shirt.

In the blink of an eye, Raphael completed his transformation. He swung his long claws and ripped off the head of a zombie. The headless zombie thrashed around a few times before collapsing to the ground.

Raphael then grabbed the outstretched arms of another zombie, and kicked it hard in the chest. The zombie's chest cavity collapsed instantly, and its sternum was clearly broken.

Suddenly possessing several times the strength, Raphael wasn't satisfied and kicked again, breaking off one of the zombie's arms in the process.

Raphael, who was transforming into a "werewolf" for the first time to participate in actual combat, had his pupils gradually turn blood red. The thrill of the battle filled his brain. He threw away the zombie's severed arm, took a step forward, lifted the zombie high, and threw it out!

bang~

A streetlamp not far away was knocked down by a zombie, breaking the zombie's lumbar spine. It tried to get up several times with its one arm but failed.

Just as Raphael was about to continue his offensive, he suddenly said, "What's so fun about killing people?"

The bloodshot in Raphael's pupils faded slightly: "Yeah, there's no point in killing them again."

A crazed expression suddenly appeared on his wolf-like face as he turned to look at the "living corpse" that was attacking itself.

At this moment, Ackerman had stabbed three holes in his chest, from which some black blood with a foul odor was flowing out.

He won't last long under the "possession" of the "vengeful spirit".

Just then, Marich in Ackerman's pupils suddenly froze, and then, as if struck by some force, Ackerman finally gained some freedom.

Maric's expression turned serious. With a flash of his shadow, he ended the "possession" and appeared on a glass window not far away.

A shadowy figure then appeared in the window opposite him.

Marich recognized the man and said coldly, "Wolf!"

Wolf, also a vengeful spirit, said in a hoarse, unpleasant voice, "I knew it, this was a trap you and Sharon set."

Da Da Da~

The conversation between the two was interrupted by a series of gunshots as Raphael fired another burst of bullets at "the zombie" Ackerman.

By this time, he had gradually adapted to his transformed state and tried to suppress his excitement for killing; the bloodshot color in his pupils gradually faded.

But he still fired at the "zombies" who were a level above him, because he knew that Miss Sharon had not yet made her move, and the advantage of the "Temperance Faction" was still very obvious.

His second shot stunned Ackerman, the "zombie." He had never seen such a daring werewolf. The "zombie" was faster and stronger than the werewolf, and more importantly, its defense was too strong. The werewolf's claws could only inflict some superficial wounds on him.

Despite his initial confusion, Ackerman immediately dodged, and only a few bullets hit him.

A sinister grin spread across his face as he charged toward Raphael.

Just then, Wolf, who was hiding in the glass, was suddenly knocked out of the "mirror" by a surge of force.

He rolled on the ground, and just as he was about to get up, his clothes suddenly tightened, as if a net had bound him.

The vengeful spirit looked astonished and said in a harsh, unpleasant voice, "Sharon has also been promoted! How can this be... Tutankhamun II's mummy was stolen by you!"

Meanwhile, Ackerman, who was about to launch an attack, was also trapped by his own clothes, standing there motionless like a statue, with a shocked expression on his face.

Raphael was also somewhat surprised. From what they were saying, it seemed that Miss Sharon was already a Sequence 4 demigod!

As he thought about it, he rushed forward and slapped Ackerman across the face, sending the "zombie" flying.

A look of surprise flashed across Wolf's face, then he let out a grating laugh: "Luckily, I had a sealing artifact that sensed your malice, so I summoned Mr. 'Witch King' Howard!"

Suddenly, a large patch of crimson appeared in the mist, as if the moon had fallen from the sky into the streets of Backlund and was rapidly approaching this place!
