Chapter 332: Preparedness Ensures Success

The abilities of a "Fate Hunter" mainly have two:

One is to amplify the corresponding branch of fate, which is to make the target's subsequent fate become destined. This can be completed quickly, but it can only affect things that happen within ten seconds. The more fitting the environment, the higher the success rate of a certain possibility in the future becoming reality;

The second is to use stored fate to exchange for a segment of the target's fate. If there is no prior preparation, one needs to kill the enemy to hunt for fate, or use one's own fate to replace it. Compared to amplifying a certain branch of fate that is about to arrive, this takes a certain amount of time, and one cannot continue to attack the target during the process, causing damage.

At this very moment, Guillaume Bénet, who was not one-on-one, obviously didn't want to exchange fate. He intended to combine the current environment to amplify the branch of fate where Lu Mian Lee's female companion was affected by the anesthetic gas of the "Abyss Magic Flower," making it become reality.

Of course, in the case that the woman wearing the black hood herself hadn't entered a drowsy state and wouldn't be paralyzed or fall into a coma within ten seconds, he could only accelerate the corresponding progress, making things go in the worst direction.

Similarly, this was also one of the reasons why he hadn't affected Lu Mian Lee's branch of fate for the time being.

——What he mainly didn't dare to do was exchange the other party's fate or reverse the probability of a key branch becoming the main trunk. If it was just making Lu Mian Lee slip under his feet and fall, realizing those futures with little impact, he still had no problem and wouldn't suffer the backlash of Fate.

The mercury-colored long river surrounding Franca was reflected in Guillaume Bénet's shallowing eyes. He distinguished it slightly and grabbed toward one of the branches composed of self-entwined mercury-colored symbols in the air.

Just then, Franca raised her head, revealing her moist red lips and smooth neck that weren't blocked by the shadow of the hood.

For some reason, seeing such a scene, Guillaume Bénet's heart skipped a beat, his lower abdomen felt hot, and he remembered the scenes when he was having intercourse with certain courtesans on City Wall Street, and those scenes were not as seductive as the lower half of the face exposed by the person opposite.

Guillaume Bénet's thoughts scattered, and then quickly converged.

It was precisely by seizing this brief gap that Franca, who had long learned about the approximate abilities of a "Fate Hunter" from Lu Mian, ignited quiet black flames from the inside out, while frost formed on her body surface.

A large number of invisible threads retracted, superimposing visible colors on the frost, forming a huge cocoon.

Facing such a scene, Guillaume Bénet just curled his lips slightly, not feeling disappointed at all.

If the abilities of a "Fate Hunter" were so easy to defend against, they wouldn't be called "Fate Hunter"!

And, as long as the target is amplified in the branch of fate or starts the exchange of fate, even if they use a substitute, they can't break free.

Guillaume Bénet, who extended his right palm, moved his wrist and began to amplify a certain future he had chosen.

But at this moment, he felt that the woman in the hood's river of fate had become abnormally illusory, so illusory that it seemed fake.

Fake!

Guillaume Bénet's attempt to amplify the branch of fate failed suddenly. The huge cocoon shattered, the condensed frost disintegrated inch by inch, and the quiet black flames turned into streamers.

But what was protected inside by them wasn't Franca, but a mirror!

When Guillaume Bénet was briefly dazed due to the charm of the "Pleasure Witch" and his own negative effects, Franca, without encountering a fatal threat, actively used the "Mirror Substitute," letting it replace herself to be wrapped layer by layer by black flames, frost, and spider silk, to confuse the enemy.

She herself hid her figure and broke free from the lock.

Guillaume Bénet's attempt to amplify the branch of fate had just failed when Franca's figure, wearing an assassin suit, quickly outlined itself behind his side. She took the classic brass-colored revolver in her hand, aimed at the enemy's head, and pulled the trigger.

*Bang! *

The iron-black bullet flew out, hitting the side of Guillaume Bénet's head as he dodged in a panic, making a "dang" crisp sound.

Guillaume Bénet's metallic head had an obvious dent, but no fatal crack appeared.

Almost at the same time, Lu Mian, who had broken free from the "Derainil Gland Poison" with the "Mirror Substitute" and was wearing flame clothes, also arrived not far away, knelt on one knee, and pressed his hands on the ground.

Two crimson fire snakes shot out, continuously absorbing the burning vines and scattered firelight along the way, turning into two giant fire dragons.

They rushed to Guillaume Bénet, but didn't choose to open their "mouths" to swallow the target, but raised their bodies high, intertwined with each other, and turned into an exaggerated, gorgeous flame giant flower.

Watching the flame giant flower bloom layer by layer in front of him, Guillaume Bénet couldn't understand what Lu Mian Lee wanted to do.

Having used "Steel Body," he was indeed not afraid of being burned by flames for a short time, but the other party wouldn't waste the opportunity, doing nothing, just performing a magic trick of fire turning into flowers, right?

This is "Bribery"!

Lu Mian "gave" Guillaume Bénet a flame giant flower symbolizing burning and purification, and with the "Decency" brooch, completed the "Bribery," weakening the other party's defense.

Although he didn't understand what Lu Mian Lee's true purpose was, Guillaume Bénet instinctively felt that this wasn't a good thing.

He used "Avatar of Light" again, splitting into three, running toward Lu Mian simultaneously, while Franca, after one attack failed, hid her figure again.

Looking at the three metallic creatures that were rapidly enlarging, Lu Mian condensed fire crows again, dividing them into three batches, each dealing with one Guillaume Bénet.

He himself turned his body, slowed his pace, and was ready to dodge the "Water Cannon" condensed from "Derainil Gland Poison" at any time.

*Whoosh whoosh whoosh*, one after another crimson fire crows landed quite accurately on the three metallic Guillaume Bénéts.

*Boom boom boom! *

They actually exploded simultaneously!

A "Water Cannon" condensed from ghostly green liquid erupted from the body of one of them. Lu Mian, who had been prepared, dodged in time, watching it hit the rock wall on the side, making the entire "Fictional Bottle" shake obviously.

Lu Mian, who had just finished dodging, suddenly had a large piece of shadow under his feet, inside which stretched out one after another pale or pitch-black strange arms.

Correspondingly, the other dodging direction Lu Mian could choose was also covered with dark shadows.

At the Sequence 5 level, "Avatar of Light" could manufacture at most three avatars, and those three Guillaume Bénéts were all fake. One carried "Derainil Gland Poison," and two carried "Shadow Burial," aiming to restrict Lu Mian and control him within the shadow range.

Those strange or twisted arms grabbed Lu Mian's ankles, wanting to drag him into the shadows.

Just then, a figure grew out of the shadow. It was Guillaume Bénet, who was semi-naked and flashing with a metallic luster.

"Shadow Burial" used on oneself is shadow hiding!

Guillaume Bénet used three "Avatars of Light" that would consume a large amount of spirituality, the purpose of which was to cover his own tracks, briefly control the enemy, and then rely on the shadows to approach the other party and give a key blow.

His body expanded suddenly, and he slammed a heavy punch toward the back of Lu Mian's ear.

With a *bang*, Lu Mian's body shattered like a glass window, turning into countless tiny fragments, and was pulled into the dark shadows by the pale or pitch-black arms.

"Mirror Substitute"!

Precisely because there was still one "Mirror Substitute," Franca, seeing Lu Mian restricted by the strange arms stretching out from the shadows, didn't rush to rescue him, waiting for Guillaume Bénet to appear and give the enemy a fatal blow.

Amidst the *crack* shattering sound, Franca's figure, wearing a hood and a black robe, was passively presented again, soon seen by the parish priest.

Guillaume Bénet was waiting for this opportunity, controlling himself not to be affected by the charm, and letting his blue eyes turn shallow again.

He saw the mighty river of fate of the other party, and began to choose the fate of being paralyzed by the burning gas of the "Abyss Magic Flower."

Suddenly, Guillaume Bénet had a strong sense of danger, a premonition that as long as he intervened in the other party's fate, he would immediately suffer a serious backlash.

Impossible! It wasn't like this just now! Guillaume Bénet, who had been able to interfere with the target's fate normally just a moment ago and was only a little short of success, had a thought flash, and saw that behind the hooded woman who revealed the river of fate was another hooded woman, and the woman behind was holding a mirror the size of a palm, reflecting his figure into it.

In an instant, Guillaume Bénet understood what was going on:

The hooded woman standing in front revealing the river of fate was Lu Mian Lee!

After the "Mirror Substitute" was triggered, he actively appeared in front of his companion and seized the opportunity to use an ability similar to transformation to change his appearance, disguising himself as his companion!

The same move is easily targeted, don't you know? Franca, who was hiding behind Lu Mian, saw this and laughed "hehe."

Seeing Lu Mian being attacked, she threw out her teammate's "Mirror Substitute," and while taking advantage of the cover and the enemy being distracted, she used another mirror to shine toward Guillaume Bénet.

Without any hesitation, Franca covered her palm with black flames and wiped it toward the surface of the mirror.

Curse!

Witch's curse!

Almost at the same time, black flames burned quietly inside Guillaume Bénet's metallic body.

He was rejoicing that "Steel Body" wasn't afraid of burning and would only suffer minor injuries, when he suddenly felt his spirituality being absorbed by those black flames, and his spirit showed signs of suffering serious burning.

In the blink of an eye, this parish priest of Cordu Village made a painful sound.

The next second, his metallic body fell to the ground with a *clatter*, transforming back into a naked flesh-and-blood body.

At the same time, Franca's face was unknowingly stained with a cyan color, and her body showed slight tremors.

"Rebirth!"

This contract ability could let Guillaume Bénet be reborn in the body of the person who killed him after being killed!

Guillaume Bénet's spirit laughed, intensifying the replacement of this woman holding the mirror, taking control of the body.

But he soon saw the hooded woman holding the mirror standing in front of him, revealing the lower half of her face that was breathtaking.

She is in front... then whose body did I "reborn" in? Guillaume Bénet was suddenly a bit dazed.

Lu Mian, wearing Franca's appearance, smiled and withdrew his right palm reaching toward the parish priest's corpse. The "Decency" brooch in front of his chest was still flashing with dark golden luster.

"Distortion"!

Having long known that Guillaume Bénet's mistress had chosen the "Rebirth" ability, how could he not guard against Guillaume Bénet also being able to "reborn"?

Relying solely on "Distortion," under the condition that Lu Mian had seals and pollution in his body, it was indeed impossible to make the object of Guillaume Bénet's "Rebirth" point to him, but Lu Mian now had an appearance almost identical to Franca's, and he had also let Franca carry that piece of earth-blood mineral in advance.

That was something that even the Montsouris ghosts didn't want to get close to. When Guillaume Bénet "reborn," his spirit body would definitely instinctively avoid it!

The "Distortion" of the "Decency" brooch plus the "blocking" of the earth-blood mineral and the "transformation" of "Nisse's Face" made Guillaume Bénet "reborn" in Lu Mian's body!

Lu Mian's face turned blue, his body trembled slightly, but he smiled, raised his hand to touch his left chest, and said in a gentle voice:

"Priest, everyone is waiting for you."
