Chapter 287 Gathering Here

586

"Why are their resistance so passive?"

Inside Berens, seeing the city center close at hand, Tang En felt troubled: "What happened to Prince Grove? Is he an idiot? What on earth is he doing? Why didn't he come forward from the beginning to the end? Could it be that his Suni Ya Haijun couldn't come, so he gave up?"

Are you not resisting, or are you hiding something dangerous and feeling that you don’t need to resist at all?

After hesitating for a moment, he bit the bullet and opened the spiritual link:

"Treana, I am going to attack the administrative office area in the city center now. I suspect that Prince Grove has something wrong with his mind. If there is nothing wrong with him, he might have a level 0 sealed artifact..."

"If I can't beat you, remember to catch me!!!"

…

"Did you get the 'Sun Bird' and the 'Holy Radiance Stone'? Thank you very much. Please pass it on to His Excellency the Dark Saint, and I will go and get it myself."

Ms. D, who was still in the Southern Continent waiting for news about Klein, finally received the letter brought by Reinette Tinichole. After seeing the content of the letter, she happily read it twice, thinking in her heart After praising Mr.

She already knew that Mr. Leave after finishing the letter.

"Messenger, it's really convenient..."

When writing the letter, Ms. D couldn't help but fantasize about having such an assistant, but her family's resources were completely tilted toward her two brothers. Neither of them had their own messengers, and as the third daughter, it was even less possible for her. .

"Oh, I'll donate more money later. None of the high-sequence experts I'm familiar with seem to be good at traveling through the spirit world. It's too dangerous for me to rely on the 'Gate' to roam the spirit world alone... I don't know when the Rose School of Thought will be able to travel to the spirit world." There are similar businesses..."

Ms. D shook her head and concentrated on writing the reply:

"I need to express my gratitude to you again. And, I will make up the difference... Your request is a 'method that can temporarily restore power'. I can give you two charms that can borrow power from your past self... "

"...If you have no other requirements, please reply to me. I will store the two charms with the Dark Saint after receiving the reply. They will exhaust their spiritual power within a year and will have no sequelae. Please use them freely. - —D”

She handed the eleventh gold coin and the letter to Reinette Tinichole, and watched as the other party bit into the reward and envelope and entered the spirit world.

"call--"

"The next step is to prepare for the promotion ceremony... To exchange for the promotion ceremony, I still need to do some more things..."

She breathed a long sigh of relief and leaned back on the soft chair happily.

…

Klein's journey in the spiritual world went relatively smoothly, and he encountered no dangers along the way.

There was an indiscernible fog flowing at the coordinates, but after entering a thin fog, suddenly, the field of vision he obtained with the help of marionette broadened, reflecting a magnificent city that could only appear in myths and legends.

This city is different from normal. It does not develop to high places, but extends to the end of the underground pits in circles. The whole city gives people the feeling of an inverted mausoleum.

The buildings inside it have various styles, but they are all equally strange. Some of them are tall pale stone pillars with huge single houses polished on the top. Some are long and rectangular, with doors opening on the roof and windows. There are no fans, some are built underground, with a tombstone erected at the entrance, and some are built with bones and are messy and fragmented.

The closer you get to the end of the underground pit, the better preserved the buildings are. The closer you get to the top, the more places they have collapsed, filled with a sense of decay and dilapidation brought about by time.

Klein made the "winner" marionette stop and stand on the edge of the city, looking down at everything.

As "Red Light" said, although Calderon City is very dilapidated, there are countless spiritual creatures of all kinds repairing the damaged stone bricks or building their own residences. There are also spiritual creatures settling or wandering around the city. It looks very lively.

After finding a safe place, the Secret Puppet recited the honorary name and prayed for Klein to appear outside Calderon, wearing a papal robe, a triple crown, and a "Poseidon's Scepter" floating beside him.

This novel scene interested Klein very much. He stopped to watch it for a while, and then tried to look deeper into the city. However, he could not see clearly what the bottom building looked like. It was shrouded in deep darkness, and it seemed that it was almost gone. No light shines in for thousands of years.

"The spiritual power here is extremely active. If Extraordinaries of the 'God of Death' and 'Sleepless One' paths enter here, they should be able to get a great improvement, but they may also be assimilated by this area and become subjects of the God of Death..."

Klein looked at the city for a while, and then began to search for the location of the "Spiritual World Predator".

According to the information from "Red Light", low-level spiritual world creatures gather on the periphery, and the closer they get, the stronger they become. The "Spiritual World Predator" corresponding to the Sequence 4 material is not too high-level, but it must be slightly closer. Center of Calderon.

Klein looked at the "Poseidon Scepter" beside him. The negative effects of the "Tyrant" card and the scepter made him immediately have the urge to rush in with a mass-destruction spell. After thinking for a moment, I gave up the idea of ​​using negative effects or "Lightning Storm" to force a way out. Both of these lethal skills are too uncontrollable, not to mention that Calderon now has a master.

Better to dive in, like in Behrens.

Klein looked at himself and felt that the spirit body containing the "Tyrant" card seemed to be able to seamlessly integrate into the spiritual world creatures, but it was a little eye-catching.

He used his spirituality to lightly touch the "Azik Bronze Whistle" he brought, releasing some of the aura of the "God of Death" pathway, trying to make his spiritual perception closer to the spiritual world creatures or undead spirits as much as possible. Then, Klein floated diagonally forward and merged into the shadow of the collapsed building. He followed the "Winner" marionette invisibly, passing through all kinds of spiritual creatures and heading deeper into Calderon layer by layer. .

The spiritual creatures on the road were frightened by the aura of "Azik Bronze Whistle" and involuntarily avoided Klein's movement path. The timid ones even gave way to Klein directly, allowing him to cross the middle and low sequences without any hindrance. The outer layer where spiritual beings gather.

Klein first breathed a sigh of relief, then his expression turned serious.

After starting to approach the core area, the spiritual creatures here are relatively powerful, almost demigods, and will no longer be intimidated by the "Azik Bronze Whistle", and may even be attracted to attack him and seize the copper whistle.

Therefore, when the first spirit world creature that refused to give way and stared directly at him appeared in his field of vision, Klein did not hesitate to stop transmitting spiritual energy into the copper whistle and let the aura of the copper whistle slowly disappear. The remaining threats are the "Tyrant Card" and the "Poseidon Scepter".

He stared at the humanoid creature warily, and when he saw that the creature just looked at him for a while and then turned away, he felt relieved and confirmed that it was not the soul of the "Spirit Realm Predator".

Just as he was about to let the Marionette observe further, his body suddenly became paralyzed and his thoughts slowed down.

He had felt this way before. When he was affected by the sealed object "2-049" in Tingen City, he was in a similar state!

In the past, Klein didn't know the essence. After becoming a "Secret Puppet Master", he realized that it meant that his "spiritual body thread" was controlled by the sealed object!

This means that he is now controlled by someone else's "Spirit Thread"!

Moreover, what was different from the past was that not only the joints of his body were "rusty", as if they had been filled with glue, but he also had a strong sense of paralysis as if he had been struck by lightning, making it even more difficult to perform movements.

It's not good... the spiritual world plunderer... came... too smoothly... I... was careless... and the... existence of Secret Puppet... made me... somewhat... ignore... my own... Safety... Various thoughts popped up uncontrollably in Klein's mind, interfering with his normal thoughts of self-rescue.

At this moment, the elongated ghost-like humanoid spiritual creature walked towards him crookedly, its ridiculously long arms wrapped straight around the marionette's neck, as if to separate his body and head. ,not available.

In the originally unusually quiet place, one after another strange creatures emerged from the pale stone pillars, from the broken houses, and from the tombstones and mausoleums.

Some of them only exist in the upper body, some are so transparent that they are almost invisible, some are stretched and soft like noodles, some have split chests and abdomens with bloody internal organs, some have green faces like evil spirits, and some have blood everywhere on their bodies. They have eyes, some of which look like jellyfish living in the air.

Countless eyes were directed at Klein from different places, emotionless and indifferent.

At this moment, Klein opened his mouth with difficulty and spit out a word dryly and slowly:

"Sing……"

Before he finished speaking, the "Word of the Sea" cane that had just tripped "Winner" and allowed him to successfully avoid the attack spat out blisters in excitement:

"Push! Rush! Rush!"

The surrounding spiritual creatures were severely injured, and Klein was also severely injured, but his thoughts suddenly recovered and were no longer stagnant for a short time.

However, his body was still "rusty" and full of numbness.

Then, wearing a triple crown, his head felt hot and he directly raised the "Poseidon Scepter".

The green-blue gems lit up one after another, and brilliant silver-white lightning suddenly fell from the air. These lightning spread out the "branches" and enveloped the entire outer area of ​​Calderon several hundred meters away in the "Thunder Forest". The aura of destruction and the feeling of destruction were like substance!

The strange creatures that rushed out from various places were shattered, evaporated, and completely disappeared in such a silvery white.

The violent electric snakes twisted and entangled, and came again, like huge waves, one after another.

After releasing "Lightning Storm" twice in a row, Klein felt quite tired and regained his composure.

His heart suddenly thumped, and he remembered something:

The lightning storm is a range attack, and it is eye-catching enough. It will undoubtedly cause a huge amount of danger in the city of Calderon where spiritual creatures and undead gather. Instead of continuing to search for the "spiritual predators" now, it seems to run away quickly. is the better choice!

The lightning storm caused everything around to suffer a disaster, and the spiritual creatures in the distance have not yet wandered over to fill this vacancy. But just when Klein was about to end his summons and flee in fear of crime, suddenly, a figure emerged from the rubble more than a hundred meters to the side of Klein.

It is a set of translucent white robes with no head, no arms and legs, and seems to be held up by an invisible person.

At this time, its appearance was in tatters, full of cracks and black marks, and it looked quite embarrassed.

Klein was stunned for a moment and suddenly understood:

"Really, before I came in, I should have thought of the law of aggregation of extraordinary characteristics... After taking the 'Poseidon Scepter', even with the 'Tyrant' card suppressing it, I was still a little reckless and missed such an important detail. …”

Uh-huh! Pale flames suddenly ignited on the body of "Spirit Realm Predator", and in the blink of an eye, he jumped away with flames that were countless times stronger than Klein. However, Klein, who had already realized the extraordinary aggregation, did not rush and jumped out of his arms. He took out "Azik's Bronze Whistle" and let it exude spirituality. The "Spiritual World Predator" in the distance, which seemed to be fleeing in a hurry, suddenly stopped the car, and then jumped back to Klein in a row.

Klein held up "Azik's Bronze Whistle" and stared at the "Spirit Realm Predator" running towards him, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

When the opponent approached, he jumped sideways, and then slammed the "Poseidon Scepter" floating beside him hard against it!

The "Spirit Realm Predator" was unable to dodge and was touched by the "Poseidon Scepter".

In the blink of an eye, its form began to turn black and melt from the edge. At this moment, it even maintained the posture of wanting to seize the copper whistle.

Is this negative effect so terrible? It is much stronger than myself! Klein was startled. If he continued at this speed, it would only take half a minute for the "spiritual world predator" in front of him to cease to exist. He immediately took this opportunity to control the opponent's spiritual body thread, and the "spiritual world predator" who reacted "World Predator" hurriedly dodged, but was already initially controlled by Klein and fell to death in an instant.

Then, lightning exploded, completely shattering the white-robed creature.

The hunt was successful.

At this time, Calderon suddenly became quiet. All the spiritual creatures seemed to fall into silence at the same time, and the entire city fell into deathly silence as if dead.

Klein's hair suddenly stood up. Previously he was throwing lightning storms here, but the strange silence at this moment made him think of the worst answer. But he couldn't leave, so he had to wait anxiously for the characteristics of the "spirit world predator" to be released.

This temporarily left him without the joy of a successful hunt, only the tension of lingering on the edge of the abyss.

In an instant, Klein seemed to be frozen by invisible sight. The high status of the "Tyrant Card" offset part of the intimidation, preventing him from falling. But if it were in the real world, he might have been unable to stand and lost consciousness.

A faint footsteps appeared slowly, as if coming from the deepest part of the world, echoing in Calderon City.

The depths of darkness...

Klein's scalp was numb and he simply didn't dare to think about it. Once the footsteps sounded, he felt as if his vitality had also weakened, as if he was running wildly on the road of life, approaching death at an unimaginable speed!

no no--

It should be said that death was gradually approaching him.

The spiritual material in front of him finally appeared, and Klein dropped the copper whistle in his hand to his feet without even thinking about it.

The copper whistle with black cracks hit the bricks and stones. After a crisp clang, Calderon City returned to deathly silence again.

The footsteps stopped for a moment.

In an instant, Klein felt the eyes on him shift. He ended the ceremony without thinking, and instantly disappeared from Calderon City with the spiritual materials and marionette!

The moment he left the spiritual world, he saw a hand reaching out and picking up the bronze whistle.

The owner of this hand is a tall woman with bronze skin and brown hair, with an expressionless face and divine indifference.

In His eyes, there seemed to be pale fire burning.

"grim Reaper!"

The next moment, he landed at the position of "The Fool" on the Origin Castle, threw all his belongings into the garbage pile, and stayed there for a while before returning to the real world. Back in the room, he was still frightened and couldn't help but gasp.

"It's too dangerous, too dangerous... The symbol of 'death' is approaching, and my life is passing quickly..."

"...Mr. Azik told me to bring the copper whistle because he knew that the God of Death was there? The God of Death didn't leave Calderon last time? And the 'Seven Lights' couldn't enter or pry into it, so they felt that Calderon's spiritual world creatures have returned to normal, is this a sign that the God of Death has left? Huh, it's so thrilling, I almost have to be an undead there forever...I wonder if I can be resurrected..."

Klein was so exhausted that he didn't have the strength to ask Marionette to squeeze his shoulders and legs. He lay on the hotel bed for half an hour before he cheered up and asked Marionette to get him a glass of hot water and drink it slowly. .

The heat was transferred to the palm of his hand through the cup, and Klein felt the cold that penetrated his bones be expelled bit by bit.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the full-length mirror in the corner, and was horrified to find that his temples actually had more gray on them.

At this time, Reinette Tinichole arrived in front of Klein with a letter.

Klein paid attention to the other party's actions. When he saw that the messenger did not stay, he immediately turned around and returned to the spirit world. He knew that Ms. D must have paid for delivering the message.

"I've been really busy lately. The deal with Ms. D, the deal with the Hermit, and supporting Leonard and the others in finding Ince Zangwill..." Klein pressed his eyebrows and opened the Letter, brows stretched. Just as he was about to write a reply, he remembered that Arrodes had told him that Will Asceptin was born, and maybe he should be called Will Kress now.

Klein smiled and relaxed his mood.

"Two talismans should be enough, right?... Go to Origin Castle to do a dream divination first, and ask Him if it is possible... If He accepts it, then I will bring the items needed on both sides to facilitate this transaction immediately. Haha, pass it on Two materials for promotion to demigod. As my rank increases, the rank of the Tarot Society and the people around me also gradually improves."

"Then go back to Origin Castle first..."

Klein muttered, and was about to take four steps backward when he felt his spirituality was touched again. He saw Reinette Tinichole leaving and returning, holding another letter in her mouth.

"Again? Whose is it?"

He took the letter in surprise and found that it was a letter from Leonard. From the corner of his eye, the messenger turned and left again.

"Didn't we just communicate? Did the Church of the Night find any new clues?"

Klein opened the letter curiously and read it.

"After investigating the specific files of the demon wounding incident in Port Enmat, we found that there are many coincidences. Through other means, it has now been basically determined that Ince Zangwill is in Port Enmat..."

"Klein, I saw here the guy who appeared when the descendant of the true Creator descended. He is a demon. I can't tell you his name and characteristics. He also appeared in Enmat Port. You must be careful..."

Edward Vaughan!

Klein's pupils shrank suddenly.

Leonard meets Edward Vaughn!

Why didn't he die? Because Pales Zoroaster still doesn’t want to change his parasitic partner?

If Edward Vaughn was there, it would bring a lot of twists and turns to the plan to kill Ince Zangwill!

"Can't you tell me the characteristics and name? Why is this... because of the demon's malicious perception? But the demon can feel pure hostility, right?" Klein made a guess, his expression became more and more serious, and he immediately stood up and turned around. Walk four steps to Origin Castle.

As soon as he sat down in the position of "The Fool", Klein stretched out his hand and made the citrine pendulum fly over. But the next second, he put down the pendulum and breathed and exhaled hard to calm down.

"No, this matter involves a level 0 sealed object and a Sequence 1 angel. My divination will either fail, or it will only give me this Sequence 5 warning that there is huge danger. There is no need for divination at all. I am too Nervous."

He closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and his breathing gradually became calmer.

For him at present, Ince Zangwill appeared too early!

He still has almost two months to digest the "Secret Puppet Master" potion. By then, having already collected the materials, he could completely use revenge as the theme, direct a murder of the demigod Ince Zangwill, put the promotion of the sequence together with the fulfillment of his wish, and no longer need to consider the retreat. However, Ince Zangwill will not "appear" until he is ready and will not follow his predetermined process.

Moreover, if Edward Vaughn is really there, Klein is worried that Ince Zangwill will have died inexplicably before he and Leonard launch their revenge, due to a random wave of the devil or ridiculous reasons. Not the bad things he did.

In the brief silence, Klein had made up his mind not to forcibly bind the two things together. From now on, as long as there was a chance of success, he would focus on revenge against Ince Zangwill.

He didn't want to miss this opportunity.

Although it was only about 10 months and less than a year since what happened at the Black Thorn Security Company in Tingen City, Klein felt that a long, long time had passed, so long that he was unwilling to wait any longer.

He immediately returned to Origin Castle and communicated with Will through dream divination. After confirming the contents of the transaction, he immediately packed his things and prepared to go directly to Backlund through teleportation.

Take the two main ingredients of the potion from the hands of the Dark Saint, then leave Backlund and walk towards Enmat Port.

He couldn't let Leonard face the terrifying demon and the increasingly dangerous Ince Zangwill alone!

…

After traveling back and forth all night, when he arrived at Enmatt Port, Klein raised his head and saw the morning sunshine.

Today is June 29th.

TBC

Uh-huh. Six thousand words.

I feel like if I want to take a break at the end of the month, I will have to update twice...
