When Zhou Wen saw this scene, he knew that Charlie was doomed.
His book and the crucifix's abilities were indeed powerful, but he didn't know that the mask wasn't the crux of the problem. Destroying the mask alone was useless. Instead, it might put him in danger.
Indeed, after a commotion in the Fiend Tomb, grayish-white dust spewed out.
When Charlie saw the dust, his expression changed slightly. The book and crucifix in his hand glowed again. He wanted to repel the dust, but the dust was like smoke. Repelling the smoke on one side would have the smoke on the other side sweep over and spray on Charlie's face.
Everything happened so quickly that even the Cape family couldn't stop it. By the time they reacted, the dust had already condensed into a mask on Charlie's face.
When the Cape family rushed forward to help Charlie, the crucifix in Charlie's hand had a shocking glow. It stabbed the two Cape family members who wanted to help him.
