Seeing Klein, who was exuding coldness all over his body, his heartbeat and breathing stopped, and his body collapsed in his arms. Even though he knew that he would be resurrected in a short time, Angel's heart felt a little stinging.
Especially since all of this was actually caused by her own hands.
Klein, whose face was bloodless and whose body was gradually becoming cold and stiff, was gently placed on the ground. Angel used the power of Frost to further lower the temperature of his body, almost to the level of "freezing". Then he picked up the fallen lantern beside him and returned to the basement of the mill.
Compared to the first time she came here more than half a year ago, the bloody smell here has completely dissipated, replaced by the rancid smell caused by the lack of ventilation. Several rats wandered in the metal pipes connecting the basement to the mill above, but when they approached the basement, they turned into gray stones, completely blocking these passages.
After cleaning them, Angel stretched out the hand without the lamp and watched as his dark red blood seeped out from his smooth palm, turning into tiny, gem-like particles that floated toward the basement in different directions and landed on the ground, forming complex runes and graphics.
As the blood belonging to the real Mythical Creature left the body, even if Angel deliberately restrained its own power, the moss-covered stone walls around the basement became gray and hard due to the leaked power, and the dark green moss died one after another and became part of the stone wall.
This is Angel of Sequence 2. Even a drop of blood is imbued with divinity and will cause devastating damage to the surroundings... Looking at the impact of these drops of blood, Angel sighed secretly and stopped when the complete runes were about to be drawn. Returning to the ground, he took Klein to the basement and placed it in the center of the rune array, in the same position where he would stand later.
Angel is also a little unsure about whether the lifeless corpse can be brought to the other side through the location where the power of "City of Calamity" is leaked. The only example she has is to "travel" to Trier through Bansy Harbor's altar. E Underground Catacombs's experience, the body of Church of Storms Bishop Miller, who was killed by her at that time, also followed her to Trier, and was then left in the tomb by her.
At least "Mirror Person", who knows more than me, thinks this method is feasible... She muttered, finally squeezed out a drop of blood, carefully avoided Klein's body, and completed the runes on the ground.
As her Spirituality escaped, surrounding the entire basement space, the blood stains on the ground lit up with a blood-red luster as if being ignited, illuminating the pitch-black space in an extremely strange way.
Then, one person and one "corpse" disappeared without a trace in the sudden light.
Above Gray Fog, Klein opened his eyes.
He could still feel the coldness in his chest, the stiffness of his limbs, and the fatigue of his consciousness at low temperatures, but these illusory perceptions disappeared immediately, leaving only deep doubts.
"I was actually reborn on 'Sefirah Castle'?"
He touched his body and looked around, and it took him a while to confirm that he was now in the Spirit Body state, just like every time he held a Tarot Club meeting, or he took four steps in reverse to let Spirit Body rise to Gray Fog.
Klein had always thought that this "death" would be like when Tingen City was killed by Ince Zangwill, resurrecting directly from the corpse after a brief loss of consciousness, but this time it was obviously different. He had gained more "initiative".
"Is it because after I was promoted to Demigod, my connection with Sefirah, 'Sefirah Castle', has further deepened. Therefore, the process of 'Spirit Body transfer' that I could not feel before can be clearly felt this time?"
He murmured to himself, looked around, clicked on a crimson star that was rippling with light, and his eyes immediately shifted to the position of this "believer".
Before the operation started, Klein recited his own Honorific Name, allowing "Fool" to establish a religious connection with him to avoid accidents. When he Spirit Body was resurrected but his body was missing, he was able to find clues with the prayer light spot. Unexpectedly, it was used in another form now.
In his condescending gaze, Angel was moving his pale face and frozen body into the basement, preparing to "time travel".
It felt so strange to look at my own corpse with my own eyes. This was different from the ritual of "calling myself". The latter was just stiff but still alive, but now it was completely dead... Klein watched with emotion as Angel carefully placed the corpse in the center of the temporary altar, and suddenly realized that he could be "resurrected" at any time.
As long as his consciousness is willing, Spirit Body can return to his body at any time, and some kind of power will obtain his state of being alive in the past from Historical Void, and transfer it Grafting to the completely dead body, allowing him to complete the "resurrection".
This is the power of "miracles".
Miracle...Miracle Invoker?
Klein instantly understood that, including the time when he possessed "Klein Moretti" after time travel and resurrected the body that committed suicide with a gun, the two resurrections after death were manifestations of the power of "miracles", and this power came from Sequence 2's "Miracle Invoker", which he borrowed in advance.
"According to my previous speculation, there are four opportunities for such resurrection, and this is already the third time... Does this mean that the 'miracle' also has a limit?
"When I am promoted to the real 'Miracle Invoker', will these number of resurrections be restored further, or will they remain in their current state? If it's the latter, that's a shame. Other Miracle Invoker can be resurrected four times, but I only have one left...
"Of course, compared to those Low Sequence'Seer's who have no chance of resurrection after death, I am already too Luck."
Thinking of Tingen City and Tuxedo Clown who died in front of him, and Backlund and Rosago who died under the counterattack of himself and Sharron Miss, Klein couldn't help curling his lips, feeling ashamed of his own greed.
And this made him discover that the resurrection of "Miracle Invoker" that was advanced in advance was obviously not the power of Pathway itself, but most likely came from the authority of "Sefirah Castle", otherwise other Seer must have similar power.
What's more, the first resurrection in the true sense was on the Blood Moon night when he had not joined "Nighthawks" and was still an ordinary person. Even if "Seer" could advance a miracle, it would not be his turn. What if he finally chose "Mystery Pryer" or "Sleepless" Pathway?
"This is what worries me the most. The choices that seem to come from oneself are actually predestined..."
I thought about the "Fool" card I drew when I passed by the circus divination house on the day of "travel", thought about calling myself Fool on top of Gray Fog, and thought about deciding to Potion Pathway Seeing Roselle's Diary in front of him, Klein felt that fate seemed to have drawn a road for him that seemed smooth but was actually extremely dangerous.
"All the gifts of fate have already been marked with a secret price. Just like now, I can only go to Forsaken Land of the Gods and become 'Miracle Invoker' to return these opportunities for resurrection..."
He complained silently, watching his body disappear in a burst of dark red light, and then reappeared in another basement with an obviously different style.
Based on the surrounding environment, he was able to determine that "he" had arrived at Forsaken Land of the Gods.
Also appearing with him was Angel, who was holding a lantern. The latter looked around, his eyes resting on the body of Klein at his feet. He leaned over with a smile, picked up his upper body, and kissed his cold lips.
"It's time to wake up, Sleeping Beauty."
She whispered the name of the fairy tale that only she and the other party understood.
It does look a bit like Prince kiss and wake up Princess... No, it's Princess and kiss and wake up Prince.
Klein also smiled, and with a thought, Spirit Body naturally sank into Gray Fog and flew towards the corpse below.
At this moment, another thought occurred in his mind involuntarily:
Since the gifts of fate have a price, does he need to pay for the Angel that God gave him?
Seeing Klein in his arms open his eyes and gradually focus, Angel breathed a sigh of relief.
What she is most worried about is that Klein will die completely, or that the power of "City of Calamity" will cause some kind of mutation or pollution. Although this may be solved by praying to Mr. Fool or other God, or being "resurrected" again, it is ultimately very dangerous.
Feeling the body in his arms rapidly heating up and returning to normal from the cold state, Angel put down Klein and slowly climbed up from the ground, looking around at the walls made of rough bricks, the wide stairs and the altar-like stone table.
"'Rose Redemption', 'Red Angel', 'Dark Angel', 'Angel of fate'..."
Reciting the three ancient and mysterious words Ancient Hermes, Jotun, and Dragonese engraved on the altar, Klein nodded thoughtfully, looked at Angel and said:
"This is the Forsaken Land of the Gods abandoned village you came to when you were looking for the 'Despair' Potion materials?"
Angel was stunned for a moment, his eyes quickly swept over the altar, and he replied:
"Yes, this village looks like it is inhabited by giants. The doors, windows, tables and chairs are several sizes larger than those used by humans, but the architectural layout of the village is very similar to the village of Sona Island, as if one is original and the other is a replica..."
"This is most likely related to the leakage of the power of 'City of Calamity'. Bansy Harbor also restored the ancient bloody sacrifice under this power."
Klein replied casually, took the initiative to take the lantern from Angel, looked at the small amount of oil inside, thought for a moment, reached out and grabbed a "Historical Image" lantern from the void that had exactly the same appearance, but could only last a short time. He extinguished the real one and hung it on his waist, holding the fake one and said to Angel:
"From now on, real lights must be used sparingly..."
In Forsaken Land of the Gods, as long as you are in complete darkness, you may be attacked by monsters at any time, or even disappear silently, leaving no trace of you. According to the experience of City of Silver, even Saint is no exception.
As for whether Angel can survive this weird power, neither Angel nor Klein dare to bet.
With the faint light, the two stepped onto the stone stairs leading to the ground one after another, and walked into the darkness where lightning flashed from time to time.
