"I always feel that that scene is a bit familiar. The negative effects of 'Madness Ring' are accumulating, and the seriously injured 'Pleasure' Demoness... Well, fortunately there is no misunderstanding about their identities, and this may also be a good opportunity for Shermane to digest Potion."

Inside Mirror Tunnel, the looming figure of Angel was thinking while floating towards East Borough.

She immediately remembered the misunderstanding with "Sherlock Moriarty", the acquaintance with "Klein Moretti", and the passion that night.

In a daze, she came to an apartment in East Borough and returned to Physical World with the help of the mirror.

Klein who is still dressed as "Mad Adventurer" and his newly acquired Marionette, "Saint Tenebrous" Kisma are waiting here. In addition, the street below There were also several rats on the road that were temporarily transformed into Klein, used to disguise and deceive the enemy, and convey their ability to control Spirit Body Threads. They completed their missions, got into trash cans or sewers, and died in unknown corners.

After doing all this, Klein turned his mind back to himself, looked at Angel, and asked with a smile:

"Leonard What happened over there in the end?"

"The lives of those Red Gloves should not be in danger. Shermane has also woken up. The biggest problem is probably how to explain all this to the church, but I think with the help of Pallez, Leonard should be able to come up with a reasonable explanation."

Angel sat on the single sofa specially prepared for her, crossed her legs and looked lazily at "Saint Tenebrous" who was standing next to her with an indifferent expression, and asked curiously:

"What souls did he Grazing? Are you interested in any of them?"

Klein glanced at his Marionette, let him speak on his own, and replied in a low, hoarse voice:

"A 'Shaman King' of 'Moon' Pathway, and the only Demigod of Grazing, can use Dark Gaze to establish a connection with the enemy, kill the enemy by destroying his own eyeballs, and can cause the nearby area to fall into the Evernight state and be shrouded in the light of the full moon...

"Others include 'Spirit Warlock', 'Disciplinary Paladin', 'Faceless' and 'Hypnotist'. None of them are Pathway with good combat power, but their comprehensive capabilities are very good, especially in big cities...

"Unfortunately, it is not very useful to me. Mid Sequence's ability is difficult to take effect on Saint, and the fighting style of 'Shaman King' doesn't suit me well..."

It doesn't sound "full". "Shepherd" can satisfy Grazing's seven souls, and "Black Knight" will only have more. But there are many vacancies in Saint Tenebrous's body. Is it because of his character that he would rather lack than to have excess, or because he has not been Saint for a long time and has not had time to find a satisfactory soul?

Angel guessed and asked another question:

"Is there any problem when you control this Marionette?"

"There is no difference from the previous Marionette," Klein asked Marionette to pose as "Praise the Sun" and asked doubtfully, "What? Are you worried that he is a believer of 'True Creator' and will attract the attention of the evil god?"

Angel shook his head, stood up from the sofa, came to Marionette Kisma, and looked at this "Black Knight" carefully.

After transferring the power of "Petrification" to the dressing mirror in Shermane's hand and saving her and Leonard, Angel immediately rushed to the scene through Mirror Tunnel, ready to lend a helping hand at any time.

But the moment she saw "Saint Tenebrous", Angel noticed an aura that was both familiar and unfamiliar to her.

This aura enveloped Kisma, unmoved by external forces such as "Petrification", "lightning", and "strong wind", just like a bystander who abided by the rules.

If Angel had not been in contact with "Snake of Fate" Will Auceptin many times, accepted gifts from his "Luck", and now became Angel of Sequence 2, there would be no way to identify the true source of this power.

That was another "Snake of Mercury" who had secretly provided help to her and blocked her in the corner with Klein in "City of the Dead" Calderon. He was also one of the eight King of Angels who existed in Third Epoch, "Angel of fate" Ouroboros!

There is no doubt that before taking action, Saint Tenebrous Kisma prayed to this absolute senior member of "Aurora Order" and followed the existence of "True Creator". After receiving his response and attention, he dared to attack Church of the Evernight Goddess's official Beyonder team at Backlund.

As for whether that power is "Luck", "destiny" or some kind of revelation, Angel doesn't know. But she could tell that Pallez was affected to a certain extent when he stole Kisma's ability, so that he was unable to steal the "Grazing" ability immediately, causing Black Knight to lose control due to the conflict between many different souls in the body and Beyonder Characteristic.

In any case, with the attention of King of Angel, who does not know where he is, but may come at any time, Angel can only hide in Mirror World to deal with his interference at any time. involved, North Borough's battlefield could only be handed over to Leonard, Shermane and Pales Zoroaster, resulting in Shermane being seriously injured.

"So, what you are saying is that this Marionette is probably still under the gaze of that King of Angel?"

After listening to Angel's explanation, Klein's expression changed. He turned sideways and looked at Demigod Marionette, which he had just obtained, and felt that the other party had become a hot potato.

When he was currently dealing with Amon, the King of Angel, and Zarathus, the Archangel who was hiding in the dark, he didn't want to mess with another King of Angel who knew his destiny, especially In particular, he has a close relationship with Will Auceptin. If caught by Ouroboros, this ally who has not yet recovered his strength may even be exposed, making him the last missing Beyonder Characteristic of "Angel of fate".

"Now he no longer has that kind of aura, and may have been given up. After all, if he takes the risk and comes to Backlund, I can hold him back for a short period of time and attract the three major... Evernight and Storm The attention of the two major churches, even if Goddess is not convenient for God to descend, Lord of Storms will not let go of 'True Creator' King of Angel."

Angel circled around Saint Tenebrous and answered after considering it.

This is not because she is blindly confident that she can stop a King of Angel who has two copies of Sequence 1 Characteristic at Physical World without relying on "City of Calamity", but because The moment she discovered Ouroboros's aura, she contacted her "Mirror Person" so that she could be ready to use "Yesterday Once More" to restore Sequence 1's strength.

When "Saint Tenebrous" recited "The lingering heroic spirit, the dependent of True Creator", she had even exchanged places with her own Mirror Person, letting Mirror Person lurk in the darkness of the fake East Borough street mirror, ready to catch this King of Angel off guard.

"Perhaps it is the function of 'fate'. This King of Angel realized that Backlund might face a bad end, so he gave up on this Aurora Order member who was just Sequence 4..."

Klein thought and analyzed.

He is very aware of the awesome nature of "monster" Pathway and Angel!

At the same time, Angel also thought of the little Angel who was lying in swaddling clothes and liked to eat high-end ice cream. The corner of his mouth moved and he said with a half-smile:

"Although Ouroboros no longer pays attention, I still think it is best to give up this Marionette. Not only did he inherit the power of King of Angel, he is also a believer of the evil god. There are too many uncertainties in his destiny."

Unconsciously, she also used the tone of Will Auceptin.

Klein nodded in agreement. He originally wanted to sacrifice Marionette to Gray Fog to eliminate his past connections, but he was worried that he would be seen by Ouroboros, a King of Angel who can understand destiny. More problems occurred, and now I was warned by Angel, so I gave up the idea in a good manner, and decided to find a deserted place to give up the control of Spirit Body Threads, let Kisma die completely, and recover Beyonder Characteristic as compensation.

As for the function of "Black Knight" itself, he can completely solve it by using Historical Void Image, and "take it at any time" when necessary.

For Scholar of Yore, owning it for a moment means owning it forever, and there is no need to worry about the loss of Marionette, because they are just Historical Projection, so you don't feel bad if they are lost!

Thinking of this, Klein decided not to delay any longer. The "Creeping Hunger" he was wearing on his left hand became transparent and deep, and his right hand held down the "Saint Tenebrous" which was much taller than him. At the same time, he said to Angel:

"I'm going to the suburbs."

Because he is worried that giving up control of this Black Knight will cause a violent conflict between his Grazing soul and Beyonder Characteristic, and appear like the Trick Sorcerer in "Fountain of Youth" In the same horrific scene as's Marionette Black Knight, Klein did not dare to do this in a densely populated urban area, but planned to send Kisma on his "last journey" in the forest on the outskirts.

As for the location, you can just choose the forest where "Hermit", "Justice" and Mystic Saint fought before. Let the two Saint die together, and it will not be in vain for their colleagues.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and the bright colors Spirit World in front of Klein changed rapidly, "flying" backwards, and reached the destination in an instant.

But what he stepped on was not soft soil covered with fallen leaves, and what came to his ears was not the chirping of birds and insects. His nose was filled with the salty smell of the sea breeze, and the rugged sea spread out in front of him.

He pointed to "Teleportation" on the outskirts of Backlund and was taken to a beach far away from the city by Grafting!

The moment he realized this, Klein gave up controlling the Marionette beside him, and instead gathered his own Spirit Body Threads to form circles connected end to end.

This was what he did after "stuck into" Zarathus's trap during the battle to prevent George III from becoming a god. It did have a certain effect at that time, slowing down Zarathus's speed of controlling his Spirit Body Threads, and creating conditions for subsequent escape from the crisis.

But this time, before his Spirit Body Threads had time to form Closed Loop, his thoughts became stagnant, and the raised left hand wearing a transparent glove was not under his control. Instead, he switched "Creeping Hunger" to the useless "Wind-blessed" at this time, causing him to lose his last chance to leave with Teleportation.

In front of him, "Saint Tenebrous" Kisma, who had an indifferent expression and dull eyes because he gave up control, suddenly made movement. He turned his eyes to look at Klein, and made an exaggerated smile with a vivid expression, as if to say:

"Do you think that after the last setback, I will let you use the same trick to escape again?"

Sure enough, it was Zarathus... He seemed to have disappeared after the death of George III and did not make any movement. It was not that he was afraid of Angel and God of Backlund, but that he had been looking for opportunities to deflect my Teleportation into his trap...

Klein stared closely at Kisma, which had become Zarathus, Marionette, feeling like his mind was completely frozen.
