Chapter 75: The Puppeteer 1

Seeing the familiar puzzled look from Samael and Luka, Morana didn't bother to explain herself and only said one sentence.

"It's getting dark."

This puzzled the duo even more than even the blind person could see the bright sun above.

And the second slap of the day came as the next second the sun was nowhere to be seen while the moon and the stars were proudly shining.

This time they didn't have time to ask any questions as the previously cheerful citizens were now looking at them with red eyes and drooly mouths. Their bodies moved with awkwardness, as if controlled by the invisible strings.

"They are puppets, remember we need to find and kill the puppet master." Morana's words woke them up instantly and the trio started attacking the puppets.

The puppets weren't particularly strong or anything, they just had strength above the normal and they didn't die no matter what.

As expected the most effective attack was fire but even if they killed the puppets more of them came as if the trio was cutting down the hydra's head instead.

"At this rate, we will just get tired." Said Luka as he mobilized blue flames and attacked the puppets.

Thankfully all of them had fire-based abilities or they would have been in trouble.

While this group managed to somehow deal with the puppets, others weren't so lucky.

Zoel managed to deal with the puppets using his Blackfire and The chariot abilities while Shio wasn't much help in this case.

He could only use his speed and illusion technique and archery to win time for Zoel. Even though he had other abilities none of them were advantageous in this case.

On the other hand, Sophia was now displaying her other ability mana devouring as she once again used her necromancy and called out her three spirits to fight with her.

Ezra on the other hand was a demi-human. After he broke through the sky realm he was able to do a full transformation so the next second beautiful red fox stood in his place with 3 fluffy tails as he used his orange-colored fire to burn down the puppets.

After Morana, Samael and Luka dealt with their own group of puppets they found that they no longer walked in circles and were now able to meet up with Emir and Sara, and once again were instantly surrounded by the puppets.

Emir and Sara weren't having it easy so the trio's appearance greatly reduced the tall on them.

They weren't the only ones that managed to meet up Zoel and Shio also managed to meet up with Jake and Lola, And even Sophia and Ezra found time in their busy schedule of bickering to meet Anna and Lulu.

In the end, the whole group managed to get together but for some reason, the number of puppets was not at all decreasing on the contrary it was increasing.

They soon found it weird, but no one had time to ponder about it as they were getting tired of the constant use of their powers and the situation was becoming pretty dangerous for everyone.

At this moment Morana couldn't help but stop as a thought passed in her head.

Noticing her situation Samael got closer and asked.

"What's wrong?"

"Did you notice that no other team appeared after us?"

Her voice wasn't lowered so other people also heard it.

At first, they didn't think it was weird, but now that no other teams could be seen appearing after hours they couldn't help but find it weird.

"What do you have in mind?" Asked Samael once again.

"The person we have to defeat is called puppeteer right? So, what if not only these people are its puppets but also us. What if all these people are previous participants that didn't clear this stage. What if it's all just an illusion." As the words fell bright light shone as all the puppets that attacked them a second ago disappeared and they all appeared back to where they met Anna the first time.

"Hello, again." And there stood Ana with her friendly smile and long pink ponytail. This time she wore more eye-catching clothes and as she for the first time opened her eyes, the group saw that she had no eyes as they were dugout.

"I must admit, I have underestimated your capabilities, you have managed to surprise me for real"

"Are you going to take your time with this speech and tell us your story and all that sh*t? because I really am getting hungry and I really want to get this over with, so if you could just be so kind as to I don't know to shorten it down to 'Let's fight' instead I would be so grateful." Even here Morana didn't forget to take her sas out, but well it did the job as Anna was instantly rendered speechless.

Her whole face soon turned tomato red and it started swelling like she was having an allergic reaction from something.

Even the other members of the group couldn't help feeling sorry for the girl, but to be real they were also getting tired from her speech so they also kind of felt grateful to Morana.

Sure enough, Anna didn't dare to continue her speech as she once again called for her puppets, and this time instead of illusion they were very real.

They didn't hold anything back as they attacked, on the contrary to them the group still felt exhausted from the battle before and were getting quite overwhelmed by the enemy.

As everyone was busy fighting the enemy Morana was busy thinking up ways to defeat Anna quickly.

Finally, after 3 whole waves of puppets, Anna stopped her attack, but this time 20 even stronger puppets appeared next to her and this one even had their own abilities.
