Seeing the dagger pierced through her chest, Marianne was extremely angry. She really didn't expect that an ordinary person would have such decisiveness and action.
You must know that the first few poor people who were tempted to sacrifice were all crying and begging for mercy before being slaughtered by him. How could they dare to resist like this!
In fact, she didn't know that if Karl was still the same Karl two days ago, as a scribe with little knowledge, he would indeed be tempted by him and then give in obediently.
But with the soul of the 21st century, it is completely different. Under the influence of all kinds of knowledge in the information age, how can you still sit back and wait for death like an ignorant civilian.
This is all something Marianne couldn't guess even if she thought about it.
But then, a terrible scene happened in front of Karl.
Marian in front of him had her back to him, her body still did not move, but her neck on her shoulders was twisted 180 degrees as if there were no bones, and her head turned to look at him viciously.
At the same time, her hands also violated the basic structure of the human body, twisting the joints like a yoga master who had practiced hard for decades, and in turn tightly hugged the magic book pressed on her back.
"Mouse, how dare you"
"Cough...cough cough cough..."
Before she could finish speaking, Marianne was interrupted by her violent coughing. Along with the violent coughing, a lot of blood foam came out of her mouth.
How is this possible? My body is not that fragile!
Just thinking about it, Marianne discovered that there was a strange force in her body that was destroying her body. The magic power she had accumulated through many years of meditation also melted in front of this force, without any blocking effect!
This is... the power of dreams!
Marianne immediately realized that this was the power attached to this dagger. The [Decapitating Blade] was a treasure that she had collected from the dream world and spread to reality. After the death of the dream master Lewis Carroll a year ago, she
Got it by chance.
So far, she has tried various efforts, but she has been unable to use its power. It seems that only people in the dream world and underage girls who meet certain conditions can use this dagger.
So after confirming that it couldn't be used, she kept treating this thing as an ordinary collection. She didn't expect that it would pass through her chest today.
But what worries Marianne even more is, why is this guy in front of her able to activate the dream power of [Decapitating Blade]? He is neither an underage girl nor a dreamer. This is completely inconsistent with the occult knowledge she knows.
!
Combined with this guy's reaction, he definitely can't be that Calvindi, who exactly is this person!
Was it his enemies who brought him against him?
But it's useless to be surprised now, because the [Decapitation Blade] has pierced her body, and the terrifying power of dreams is destroying the defense in her body, and under the interference of this power, she can't even resist
Less than.
"Hoo...hiss ho..."
Marianne seemed to want to say something, her eyes filled with disbelief. But because the dagger pierced the lungs in her chest, all she could say was a hoarse exhalation.
After discovering that the dagger in his hand had a very significant killing effect on Marianne, Karl did not hesitate at all. He pulled it out of her body and then stabbed her again. This time, his target was not the body, but Marianne's neck.
!
With the knife raised and lowered, it was like cutting off the door lock without any sense of obstruction. Marianne's beautiful head full of surprises was separated from her body in an instant.
The headless body fell heavily to the floor, and blood continued to flow from the body, quickly staining the ground red.
Just when Carl thought he was okay and could breathe a sigh of relief, the headless corpse on the ground began to twitch and fell on the head on the side. Marianne's eyes were still staring at Carl.
He immediately realized that the matter was not over yet. This guy had been beheaded and was still alive!
He hurriedly walked around the body. Karl took away the slate placed on the table, then aimed the knife at the window.
As he expected, this time the window was not as indestructible as it had appeared in his previous attempts.
In front of the dagger in Karl's hand, the window opened obediently without any resistance.
He just wants to leave here first. This weird place is really unpredictable.
Before he was about to jump out of the window and escape, Karl spotted something in the house out of the corner of his eye.
Although the use of electric lights has become widespread in the UK, because the power equipment of this era is not so reliable and durable, every household still has spare oil lamps.
Karl saw such a lamp on the desk in this room.
With a sudden change in his heart, he went back and swept down the books on the bookshelf as quickly as possible, lit the oil lamp and threw it up.
"Good luck to you, miss."
It didn't matter whether Marianne heard it or not. After doing all this, he jumped from the third floor without looking back.
Originally, Karl was prepared to fall, but the moment he jumped out, a technique for falling from high places appeared in his mind. After subconsciously rolling on the ground according to this technique, he miraculously fell.
Unscathed.
What technology is this?
I never learned parkour in the 21st century, and I was just an honest scribe in the 19th century. What was the technique that came to my mind just now?
I jumped from the third floor. The third floor of a theater like this is much higher than the third floor of an ordinary building. It’s strange that I didn’t get hurt!
Looking back at the theater that was being set alight by himself, Karl decided to leave this place of right and wrong first and think about these issues later.
So with the help of surrounding lights, Carl escaped from Sevenoaks and rushed back to London overnight.
But what Karl didn't know was that after he left, the story in the theater was not over yet.
In the room, Marianne's body went silent after struggling for a long time. The reason why this woman was still alive after moving her head was because she had placed a ritual connected to her life in this theater. Her previous struggle was in
Use the power of this ritual to repair your body.
But it is a pity that her ritual failed. Someone completely destroyed the magic circle in this theater, losing the support of the ritual, and she could only rest here completely.
But in the midst of the raging fire, a footstep suddenly sounded outside the door.
Ignoring the fire burning around him, a figure wearing a black hooded robe pushed open the door of the almost burned-out room.
She turned Marianne's body over with her feet. Even though the body had begun to be burned, the woman's hands were still tightly wrapped around the magic book.
Under the gaze of the figure, an unknown force tore off the corpse's hands, and then the grimoire rose from the ground and floated in front of the figure.
Seeing the hole pierced by the dagger in the grimoire, the figure did not react at all. He just looked at the grimoire in front of him quietly, and the raging flames around him seemed not to affect him at all.
After looking at it for about a minute, the magic book floated and was put into his pitch-black robe. Then the man slowly stepped on the burning theater and left.
If anyone sees this scene, they will definitely recognize it. This figure is exactly the same as the guy on the cover of the magic book that Marianne refused to let go of after her death!
