Chapter 564 Moves and Counter-Moves
After fusing with the extraordinary characteristics of the "Apostle of Desire," the "Demon Clown Card" has had its original activation ability further enhanced, allowing it to merge with the user and become the "Apostle of Desire" itself. Even though Chloe has signed a pact with it, it's not an ability that can be used lightly, as it would bring about exaggerated corruption.
However, Chloe dared to use it only when she had no other choice, because she already had enough source matter contamination on her body and could easily wash away the contamination using the gray fog space after asking Mr. Fool for help.
When Chloe left Zuoxi Manor last time, she used the "Demon Clown Card" to assimilate a military horse, which led to the development of another function of this ability.
For Chloe, using this ability is a double-edged sword with both advantages and disadvantages. However, for enemies with weak wills, if they merge with the "Demon Clown Card," they will not be able to gain any benefits at all. Instead, they will be directly possessed by the spirit of the "Demon Clown Card," namely Jedi Belial Zarathustra!
The "demon" possesses the power to cause "corruption"!
A series of teeth-grinding scraping sounds, like screams of agony, emanated from the branches of the Tree of Flesh and Blood. The vines began to lash their own trunks wildly, whipping the skin open and causing blood and flesh to splatter.
The bizarre blood tree that grew from the pool of flesh and blood sensed its own abnormality and went mad, disregarding everything else!
The violent shaking reached the treetops, causing the vines to lash wildly, indiscriminately attacking friend and foe alike, even including "Mr. Z" himself in the attack.
This forced him to abandon his condescending attitude towards the world. He only managed to hold on for a couple of seconds before he had to ride the wind and land on the ground, right in front of Chloe.
"What did you do?" "Mr. Z" threw a flesh bomb hidden in his palm, but Chloe easily dodged the flying blood and flesh.
She gave him a flirtatious wink, using her allure to make "Mr. Z" freeze for a moment:
"Your strange ability has presented me with a difficult problem, and I have simply provided the right solution at the right time."
Taking advantage of the moment of stunned silence, Chloe decisively conjured an ice spear in her hand and thrust it toward "Mr. Z's" face.
A sense of danger instantly jolted "Mr. Z" awake. His eyes glazed over slightly, and he vanished from the spot in an instant.
The ice spear passed right through the spot where "Mr. Z's" head had been, without encountering any obstruction, and flew into the distance.
Gone?
Is this teleportation? Did he really herd a "traveler"?
Chloe frowned, activated her spiritual vision, and released spider silk as a warning.
There was no feedback whatsoever, as if he had simply left.
As she continued her search for a target, the hairs on her body stood on end, and she had an instinctive sense of danger.
Although she didn't know where the enemy came from, Chloe reacted immediately:
Avoid it!
No matter where the enemy is, staying put and waiting is definitely the worst option!
However, this did not diminish her sense of danger in the slightest. Chloe immediately felt a chilling aura engulfing her.
No, it's not the "traveler's" teleportation.
This is possession by a vengeful spirit! "Mr. Z" used the Sequence 5 "Vengeful Spirit" ability to transform into a non-physical vengeful spirit!
What a foolish choice. Why choose to be possessed by a vengeful spirit when the purification power is so obvious?
After possession, "Mr. Z" will undoubtedly feel the heat brought by the "Sun Brooch". The wearer who directly possesses the "Sun Brooch" will undoubtedly suffer greater harm than the wearer who is around the purification halo!
However, things are not that simple.
Just when Chloe thought "Mr. Z" would back down and she began to prepare for what to do after he left the possession state, she felt her spiritual body being pulled in a certain way, gradually feeling as if it no longer belonged to her.
She followed her instincts and looked down at her feet—her own shadow was twisting and deforming, as if it had come alive, climbing up her ankles, trying to imprison her.
Manipulating shadows is the ability of the "Hermit" and also Mr. Z's own ability!
We can't wait any longer.
Chloe felt a chill in her heart and took the initiative to wrest the body from the possessing "vengeful spirit," easily infusing her spirituality into the "Sun Brooch."
A beam of pure and holy light was summoned down from the infinite heights, dispelling all evil and dissolving all shadows.
A sharp, piercing shriek from a vengeful spirit rang out, and Chloe felt a wave of dizziness. Under the influence of the "Sun Brooch," the effects of her somewhat sinister abilities were lessened considerably, but it still caused a momentary pause.
Mr. Z's figure reappeared from the air, now holding a dark, cold greatsword that seemed to be formed from shadows.
A faint glimmer of dawn condensed on his body, forming armor, which he then slashed at Chloe like a storm.
This is—the Warrior pathway sequence 6, the Dawn Knight!
This is the third soul known to have been herded by "Mr. Z".
Having fought against "Admiral Twilight," Chloe immediately understood what was happening before her. She dodged the first wave of sword strikes but did not take the rest of the attacks head-on. Instead, she threw out several dressing mirrors to create illusory clones and used "Mirror Maze" to trap "Mr. Z" inside.
In the mirrored maze, "Mr. Z" unleashed a storm of attacks and quickly struck Chloe. But in his eyes, Chloe shattered and vanished like a mirror.
Looking around indifferently, "Mr. Z" randomly chose a direction, took a few quick steps, and then suddenly reappeared in the same spot.
As if what had just happened was an illusion, he did not make any move.
Seeing this, "Mr. Z," leaning on his greatsword, knelt down. After listening intently for a while, he sneered:
"The Witch of Pain, the Mirror Labyrinth—interesting, just the right time to replace a useless soul."
As he spoke, he forcefully slammed the greatsword formed from the shadow in his hand into the floor.
In an instant, the greatsword shattered into tiny specks of light, and the dark shadows, along with the morning storm, swept around, tearing everything apart.
A storm of light! While leaving horrific scars on the altar floor, this wide-ranging attack also shattered the dressing mirrors that formed the "mirror maze," causing the real environment to reappear before "Mr. A," as did Chloe's figure.
Chloe knew the "Mirror Maze" wouldn't hold Mr. Z for long. She was prepared from the start, and threw him a container covered in neat cracks—intact yet incredibly fragile.
A gust of wind surged around "Mr. Z," supporting the container, but then the cracks in the metal container began to spread and burst open on their own!
The sacred golden liquid was splashed onto Mr. Z's body, and plumes of black smoke rose up, as if he had been doused with hot oil. Mr. Z's face instantly contorted, and he let out a muffled cry of pain.

Chapter 565 Sacred Spirit
This is "Radiant Stonefire Spirit," a potion that Chloe commissioned Mr. "Moon" to create, capable of causing massive damage to evil and corrupted creatures!
Chloe had made ample preparations to deal with the various evils and filth of the Southern Continent.
The process of making "Radiant Stonefire Spirits" is complicated and costly. In particular, since Mr. Moon is a vampire, he will also be injured during the potion-making process and must take many extra precautions. This is why Chloe paid 200 pounds to persuade Mr. Moon to reluctantly accept the order.
However, the effect is obvious. With the support of many extraordinary materials, the "Radiant Stonefire Spirit" is more than 10 times stronger than the most potent holy water made by extraordinary individuals through the "Sun" pathway. This is not only the reason why Chloe insisted on choosing it.
Why strong liquor, and not some holy oil that can be applied to weapons?
Of course, ointments have a longer-lasting effect, but compared to that, the biggest characteristic of spirits is their volatility.
This is to guard against the "Prisoner" extraordinary individuals who may appear in the Southern Continent. Sequence 5 "Wraiths" cannot be detected by the naked eye or other methods, but when the evaporating "Radiant Stonefire Spirits" fill the entire space, the "Wraiths" will be as if they are soaking in a powerful holy water!
The "storm of light" left terrifying trenches on the altar floor, and at the same time melted away the thin armor that the morning light had gathered on "Mr. Z's" body.
The moment the container of "Radiant Stonefire Spirits" shattered, the entire area was as if a small sun had fallen upon it. Even without being targeted by the purifying power, Chloe couldn't help but squint, feeling the scorching sun burning her skin.
Mr. Z's body bore too many traces of evil and depravity. Golden specks of light scattered in the air, as if drawn by moths to a flame, clung to his body.
Mr. Z's body was emitting blue smoke, and was visibly reddening, charring, and even melting away, clearly indicating that he was suffering from significant damage.
Chloe knew that his next move would be to use the "Windbringer's" ability to disperse the holy gas that posed a threat to him. So instead of using the "Sun Brooch" to summon holy light and accelerate the evaporation of the "Radiant Stonefire Spirits," she took advantage of the gap to use spider silk to "tease" him, and then added "Charm" to create a brief blank in Mr. Z's mind.
This is the opportunity—
The gas from the "Radiant Stone Fire Spirit" left a large charred patch on Mr. Z's body, causing him pain while also weakening his sense of danger.
He was already in a deadly situation; the threats in the distance were far less alarming than those around him!
Without hesitation, Chloe pulled two more revolvers from her bag.
She had already inserted a specific magazine into the engraved semi-automatic pistol, and in just a moment, the muzzle was precisely pointed at the enemy.
But at that moment, she frowned and quietly released the trigger with her index finger.
boom!
A vine with hardened skin and patterns resembling magma was entangled with another vine pieced together from broken human tissue. They wrestled and crashed to the ground.
While the Tree of Flesh and Blood, corrupted by the "Devil Clown Card," was fighting against itself, the aftershocks of the battle happened to awaken the dazed "Mr. Z"!
Tsk—you got lucky.
Chloe crouched down, resting her left wrist under her right hand, which held a rusty red revolver, as if preparing to fire a precise shot, while discreetly returning the semi-automatic pistol in her left hand to her satchel.
Mr. Z merely sneered, and with a wave of his hand, the vines made of flesh and blood were immediately torn apart and dissolved back into a curtain.
A curtain of flesh and blood stood before him, just as it had at the beginning, blocking the exploding bullets fired from the rusty red revolver.
Whoosh whoosh!
Another gust of wind blades struck, and Chloe raised her hand, causing a thick ice wall to rise in front of her.
While blocking all the wind blades, she hid behind the wall, and the spreading spider silk began to provoke her again, but this time it failed. "Mr. Z" squeezed his hand, and crimson fire snakes surged in all directions, igniting Chloe's spider silk.
What kind of ability is this?
Chloe frowned, and before she could figure out what the fourth soul "Mr. Z" was herding was, she saw him lunge forward through the mirror, drawing another jet-black greatsword from the shadow formed by the curtain of flesh and blood, and attacking Chloe like a high-speed train.
Whoosh!
The moment the ice wall shattered, another bottle of "Radiant Stonefire Spirits" exploded on "Mr. Z's" face, but Chloe had already dodged the attack by relying on her agile rolling.
A sickening sizzling sound filled the air as "Mr. Z's" skin was either charred black or covered in wriggling new flesh. Even the "Rose Bishop's" flesh magic and self-healing abilities couldn't withstand the prolonged exposure, which felt like swimming in boiling water!
Only one pair of eyes, filled with coldness and hatred, stared intently at Chloe's figure.
Mr. Z opened his mouth and swallowed the curtain torn from the vines of the "Flesh and Blood Tree" to replenish his depleted flesh, as if treating a minor injury.
He charged at Chloe again, sword in hand. With a single step, the clear morning light shattered all illusions, breaking Chloe's attempt to use the "Mirror Maze" again. He took two more steps and was already in front of Chloe, raising his greatsword and planting it in the ground with one hand.
The giant sword formed from the shadows shattered suddenly, and the storm of light and darkness tore everything around it apart once more.
Chloe's figure shattered, only reappearing in the air when the storm of light subsided.
She was met with a barrage of wind blades.
Since the scent of "Radiant Stone Fire Spirit" filled the air, "Mr. Z" has stopped wasting flesh and blood on attacks.
His flesh and blood were needed to repair himself, so there wasn't much of it.
On the other side of the altar, the Tree of Flesh stretched out its vines, trying to grasp the nearest flesh and blood to make up for what it had lost in the corruption of the "Demon Clown Card." Its menacing posture undoubtedly elicited screams again, making the crowd desperately want to leave once more.
Chloe watched as the crowd receded due to the strange phenomena on the altar, and a sense of anxiety arose in her heart.
This is not only the audience for "Mr. Z's" promotion ceremony, but also the audience for his own promotion ceremony.
The more they fight, the more the tree of flesh and blood grows, which only makes the surrounding people more fearful and more distant, and the fewer people will be able to witness the heroic feat.
If things continue like this, although "Mr. Z's" ceremony will fail, Chloe's own promotion conditions will also be impossible to meet!
We can no longer deliberately wait for the safest opportunity in order to create conditions for a fatal blow.
Fight! A fight where all plans are abandoned!
A battle where lives are at stake is not anyone's game—it's a high-stakes gamble!
