Phantom Kid in the American Comic World
52. C-level magic

"By the way, you went straight to the Phantom Kid, thinking he was me, so did you finally see his real face?"

Instead of pursuing the matter of the stone pavilion, Mathison asked him something else to change the subject.

"How can I…"

Barbara laughed bitterly.

"I think we can understand Phantom Kid's disguise well, assuming he can only disguise himself as one person at a time, or at most wear two masks."

“Because once a person wears too many masks, the shape of their face changes and this can even cause them hypoxia.”

"For example, in the Adam's Star incident, he disguised himself as Officer Blake and Officer Cash, and in the Cat's Eye Emerald incident, he disguised himself as me."

"No matter who he pretends to be, it never exceeds common sense."

"But just now he switched from Daisy to my father in an instant in front of me, with an unusually natural face shape change that didn't look like he was wearing a mask before."

"I wonder if he can really change shape!"

Mathison smiled silently. This craft is a unique skill of Kid. Unless he could not change his body shape drastically, he could almost turn into thousands of people.

“It looks like Phantom Kid is very strong. So, what did he tell you when you asked him? ”

Hearing that, Barbara recalled the conversation earlier and blushed.how could she say that to him!

"Well ..he didn't say anything special."

A grin flashed across Mathison's eyes, how could she not know what Barbara was saying.

"So, are you going to see Kid's second show?"

"I wonder what else he wants to do now that the Tamil Ruby necklace is in hand."

After seeing more and more people walking into the watchtower, Mathison asked Barbara with interest.

"Then of course I'm .. I can't go for now."

Barbara, who was about to say yes in one fell swoop, suddenly stopped and thought back to the previous scene when she confronted the Phantom Kid and inevitably changed her mind.

”Again, we won't help anything. We'll just watch the action, rather than that, I'll just trust my father and the others to catch the Phantom Kid sooner or later, I don't want to see the thief laughing at me anymore!”

Barbara looked up and snorted.

”But... hadn't you always been uninterested in the Phantom Kid before, why are you suddenly so interested in him?”

Mathison chuckled and said, "I'm only interested because you've been talking about Kid every day recently."

"What did you just say?", Barbara froze, wondering if she had just misheard.

"What, did I say something wrong?"

"You obviously did!"

”Stop, Commissioner Gordon will be coming soon with the team as well. So, you wait here for him, I'll go first. ”

Mathison said helplessly. She did not wait for Barbara's reaction before running with the pedestrians towards the observation tower.

"This person is still the same as always, he doesn't care about people's feelings at all."

Looking at Mathison's back, Barbara thought irritatedly, like a fool.

"Who ever had a crush on her?"

Blending in with the crowd, Mathison rushed over while opening her system panel on the other side.

Initially, he thought that when the Tamil Ruby arrived, the designated mission should be considered complete.

But in fact, it's only halfway through. The cause given by the system is that: not all threats have been eliminated and only once he returns to the fortress, the mission will be completed.

The prize is divided into two parts: 

One is the value of the mission target itself, which can be collected immediately after obtaining the target, which is equivalent to an additional reward. The other one is the last gift given by the system.

The extra reward for this determined mission was, of course, the magic contained within the Tamil Ruby.

The gem has been worn by the Queen for decades and has been flooded by the aura of an entire country, giving many magical effects to the pomegranate.

Even when the magic of the gem is taken away, this effect will not disappear.

For example, it gives the wearer a long and healthy lifespan, which is one of the reasons why the Queen can live so long and stay so energetic.

The system starts extracting magic power from the gem as Mathison puts her hand on it. And now that quite some time has passed, Mathison sees that the extraction has been completed.

After all, the system was always very boring. Naturally, there would be no beeps or prompts after the extraction was complete, and Mathison couldn't possibly always keep an eye on the system panel.

"C-rank magic power can be extracted."

Sure enough, a pop-up window appeared after opening the panel, indicating that magic could be transferred to his body.

Without hesitation, Mathison directly clicked on "Extract Magic Power" and immediately felt her magic power increase!

Within seconds, it had been multiplied dozens of times.

At least now, his magic power level was no longer below that of Akako Koizumi.

It's just that his knowledge of magic is a little lacking.

At this point, Mathison could finally use most of the red magic.

After a while, Johnny rushes to the watchtower and meets the team of GCPD officers he initially brought with him, but is never able to find any sign of the Phantom Kid.

Tucker and the others also said that they did not see the Phantom Kid coming here.

Not long after something more puzzling happened to him: no less than a thousand people gathered in the area one after another.

And more and more are coming.

“What's up, Sir?”

Tucker asked Johnny, at a loss for words.

“It may..”.

Johny doesn't know why these Gothamians ran to this place, and it's midnight now? What kind of person would visit the park in the middle of the night?

Moreover, not long ago they were enveloped by tear gas, yet they still had the courage to wander around. Shouldn't normal people have gone home?

No wonder, however, Johnny and Tucker, who are from England, don't fully understand Gotham's everyday life.

Tear gas?

What is it, is it something scary?

We only know the scarecrow fear gas and the laughter gas of someone (whom no one dares to name) ...

Well, even though these people have been in Arkham Asylum for many years, as residents of Gotham, it would be a pity to be distracted by such a sight.

“Father and Mother, thank you for your willingness to come here!”

Suddenly, the floodlights on the observation tower lit up simultaneously, making the area around the tower as bright as daylight.

A white figure appeared at the top of the tower, his robe fluttering in the wind and his graceful and arrogant demeanor was clearly visible. The lights in the background added a sense of nobility to this figure and a mystery to his identity.

This guy doesn't need to be introduced. It's the Phantom Kid!
