"Is there anything unsafe for you to stay underground in the church?" Pales Zoroaster said, then he said "tsk" and replied seriously, "Those people didn't realize that the characteristics and Sealed Artifact were stolen at all, because even the idea of doubt was stolen by me... You continue to stay here, and there will be no problem after I completely absorb the characteristics."
"Understood."
Leonard nodded in response, sat back at his desk, and casually picked up a research report on "Tarot Club". He pretended to study it attentively, but in his heart he was looking forward to the Sealed Artifact that was about to belong to him.
After an unknown amount of time, a piece of gray-white mist appeared in front of his eyes. In the mist, a figure who seemed to be in a dark wilderness lowered his head and prayed:
"Dear Mr. Fool, please convey this to Mr. 'Star'... Does he know how to eliminate those clones of 'Blasphemer' Amon without disturbing his true body?"
This is the voice of "World" Klein... Clear out the clones!
Leonard, who was holding the research report in his hand and always thinking about the actions of Pallez's clone, suddenly became nervous when he heard this phrase, and his body straightened up in the chair.
Could it be that Klein met Amon in "Forsaken Land of the Gods"... Old Man said before that Amon would definitely try to wait for him in that land, catch him, and do something to Mr. "Fool"...
Leonard Waiting for the Gray Fog that conveyed the message to dissipate, he stood up from the chair, locked the door, and then called out in a low voice:
"Old Man? Are you done?
"Old Man?"
"I'm very busy, trying to choose a nice name for your Sealed Artifact. What's wrong?"
The old voice in his head joked angrily.
"That's it..." Leonard ignored the other party's sarcasm and conveyed Klein's request to him, "Aside from the method used by Amon's clone of Backlund last time, do you have any other methods?"
"How can it be so easy to deal with a clone of King of Angel without leaking any information?"
After a long while, Pallez continued to answer.
"Last time we succeeded, it was because he prayed for the power of 'secret' that I had the opportunity to activate 'aggregation' to absorb the characteristics of all Amon clones of Backlund and 'Worm of Time', otherwise any As long as a clone pronounces its own Honorific Name, it will get a response from the main body. If it reaches the Angel level, even this step can be omitted... So, can your former colleague get 'secret' help this time?"
"It should be more difficult."
Leonard recalled the various anomalies of "Forsaken Land of the Gods" revealed by Klein, as well as those out-of-control divine powers, and shook his head.
"Then let him go around. Even if he can kill a clone in a sneak attack, the remaining Beyonder Characteristic will take away all the information when it returns to the main body. He can't stop it."
Pallez paused again before answering.
Old Man seems to be really busy... But answering Klein like this will make him too disappointed... Leonard walked back and forth in the office a few times and continued to test:
"Is there no other way?"
"The return of the characteristics of the clone is a process of 'stealing' and 'returning'. It cannot be prevented by ordinary methods. At least it must have the power of Sequence 1, which is not much different from the original body of Amon, in order to destroy those Worm of Time and intercept Beyonder Characteristic..."
Pallez answered much faster this time.
"In this way, you tell him that if the strength of those Amon clones does not reach Sequence 2, and the Advanced Charm that you used to deal with 'Black Knight' before are used in the attack, there is hope that the Worm of Time in the clone will be severely damaged and the transmission of information will be prevented.
"But there are too many risks. To prevent the clones from reciting Honorific Name, all nearby clones must be caught. Missing one is equivalent to leaking information... Let him go around."
Leonard carefully noted down Pallez's words, repeated them in his mind, and asked in surprise:
"Isn't this what Angel did when he eliminated Backlund's Amon clone?"
"That's it, but without my 'aggregation' at that time, Worm of Time and Beyonder Characteristic would still have lost most of them. Of course, your former colleague has the help of 'Fool', maybe the result will be better."
Pallez commented sharply on the result of Angel's last battle, and then said:
"Okay, the characteristics left by the Jacob Family belong to me."
So fast...Leonard was a little happy at first, and then a sense of loss came into his heart.
He knew that the completion of this matter meant that the time for Old Man to leave him was one step closer.
"Why, are you worried that I will regain my strength and leave you?" The old voice in his mind sounded again, "You don't need to worry about this, because it will definitely happen... But I still have to slowly digest the characteristics of this Sequence 2 and really make it work for me. You can complete the role with peace of mind and be promoted to Demigod."
Old Man means that He will not leave until I am promoted to Demigod...
Leonard thought with a little peace of mind, packed up the files, left the office, walked out of the underground as he usually did after get off work, greeted a few colleagues he met, and walked towards Pinster Street.
When I got home, I conveyed the message just now to Klein. He had Angel to help him, and there was no shortage of Advanced Charm... Hehe, I had to get another "Calamity" this time. Hmm, do you want to give this one to Shermane?
Thinking one after another in his head, Leonard happily opened the door of 7 Pinster Street's room, hung his windbreaker on the porch, and moved to the living room with a fireplace.
The fire was burning brightly, and a feeling of warmth came to my face, but Leonard felt cold from head to toe.
Sitting on the rocking chair that belonged to him was a young black-haired man wearing a classic black robe, a Warlock soft hat on his head, and reading a newspaper with his legs crossed.
In Leonard's frightened eyes, the other party raised his head, and Crystal Monocle sandwiched in his right eye socket reflected the light of the fire.
This is "Blasphemer" Amon!
Amon, who was supposed to be waiting for the arrival of Klein in Forsaken Land of the Gods, was spreading clones everywhere to look for clues, but appeared in Backlund, still reading the newspaper with his legs crossed at his home!
During the battle to eliminate the clones of Backlund Amon, Leonard had seen the appearance of King of Angel and knew all the bad deeds and horrific methods of the other party. However, his sluggish brain refused to understand the situation, and his body froze in place, as if his ability to move had been stolen.
There were even layers of murmurs coming from his ears, like countless Amons in the air speaking to him at the same time:
"Are you surprised or surprised?"
"Think I'm still in 'Forsaken Land of the Gods'? He can't run away, why should I stay there?"
"Compared with the competition for 'Sefirah Castle', the characteristics of the last Sequence 1 are what I need most right now."
"The disappearance of Backlund's clone made me suspicious, and the subsequent investigation made me make some guesses... But in the end, I confirmed that what you are hiding in Backlund is the treasure of the Jacob Family."
"Why do I know that treasure? Of course, it's because the ancestor of the Jacob Family is me."
"Haha, for a long period of time, I was both Amon of the Amon Family, and Jacob of the Jacob Family. Before that 'Worm of Time' truly belonged to me, this state lasted for hundreds of years. Naturally, I knew all their arrangements."
"I left a hidden clone there that no clone knows except the main body. His only purpose is to keep the 'fate Trojan Horse' characteristic and see who will steal it..."
"When your clone can't help but be greedy and follows those 'fate Hermit Society' guys into the treasure, the outcome is already doomed."
"You must be thinking now, why do I dare to enter this city in my true form without worrying about the coming of God at any time..."
Words of gibberish overlapped and entered Leonard's brain, making Chaos in his mind. Spirit Body and his body were almost out of control. The former showed signs of splitting, and the latter squirmed and mutated. Black wolf hair grew on his face, and his waist and ribs bulged under his shirt, as if he was about to stretch out new arms.
At this moment, his mouth suddenly opened uncontrollably, and the almost unbearable Affliction deep in his throat turned into a roar and blurted out, but at the last moment it turned into the word Jotun, which was stolen and retrieved three times, echoing in the living room:
"Leodoro!"
"Do you think I won't be prepared when I come here?"
Amon pushed up his monocle and stood up from the rocking chair. The newspaper on his knees slipped off and fell on the stone floor, which was neatly inlaid and each stone tile was larger than the entire living room.
Around the two people, pitch-black stone pillars had been erected at some point. They formed a majestic church hundreds of meters long and wide, with an equally astonishing height. Countless bones were embedded in the surrounding walls and the vault above. They looked down at the tiny Leonard and the Pales Zoroaster who temporarily controlled his body.
Isolated by this "Corpse Cathedral", Pallez shouted "Lord of Storms" Honorific Name with Jotun before it could be heard and disappeared in the empty church hall.
"With this Corpse Cathedral I stole, Tyrant and Evernight want to know what happened here, it will take at least thirty seconds..."
Amon smiled and locked his eyes tightly on Leonard, as if he could see through his body the "Worm of Time" characteristics that were about to belong to him.
"'School of Truth' is actually looking for the tomb of Roselle... What is their purpose? Resurrect this 'Black Emperor', or do they want to replace it? What's special about 'Magic Wishing Lamp'? Is there another 'Scholar of Yore' who has completed the role besides me and is waiting for promotion?"
Klein, who once again summoned his Historical Projection to explore around City of Silver, was analyzing the information sent by Angel earlier when he suddenly heard a prayer coming from the voice belonging to Leonard.
He responded so quickly, it must be afternoon over there... He looked up and glanced at the dark sky where lightning was almost no longer flashing. Klein skillfully got into Historical Void, walked four steps backwards to the palace in Gray Fog, and was immediately startled into a cold sweat.
He was on all precautions and racked his brains on how to deal with the Amon body, but he had already secretly left Forsaken Land of the Gods, used the trap Fourth Epoch had placed in Jacob Family Treasure, and found Pales Zoroaster hiding in Backlund?
If Pallez hadn't thrown Leonard out of Corpse Cathedral at the last moment, giving him the opportunity to pray to "Fool", by the time he discovered this, Amon had even digested its characteristics!
This is certainly due to Amon's careful planning and Pallez's inability to resist temptation, but Klein's own "views" undoubtedly also played an important role in promoting it.
If Klein hadn't mentioned to Leonard that Amon would be waiting for him at Forsaken Land of the Gods, Pallez, the Archangel who has been hiding carefully for thousands of years would never dare to take advantage of the "fate Trojan Horse" property easily. It would be a better choice to wait for a certain Marauder to swallow it as Potion and then take it away after confirming that there is no risk.
But it's too late to say anything now... Looking at the inside of Crimson Star belonging to "Star", being pushed out of "Corpse Cathedral", and the desperate praying figure of Leonard falling on the street, thoughts flashed through Klein's mind, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.
The next second, he suddenly picked up "Staff of the Stars" from the pile of debris. As his thoughts flashed, a message was transmitted to the stars of Leonard:
"Go to church and pray to Evernight."
Then, he thrust the gem-encrusted cane into the screen displayed by Crimson Star.
Go to church...
Mr. "Fool"'s instructions came to Leonard's ears. He took one last look at 7 Pinster Street with the door closed. It was as peaceful and peaceful as every time he returned home. It was completely unlike the Corpse Cathedral that was a hundred meters high inside, where two Sequence 1's "Worm of Time" were fighting fiercely.
He took a deep breath, quickly summoned Spirit Body stored on the surface of his teeth, wrapped him up and sank into the ground, and ran towards the church not far away at a speed far exceeding that of a steam train.
The moment he disappeared, another figure was outlined in the sky among the twinkling stars. His long hair was as thick as a poisonous snake draped behind his head, his eyes completely turned purple, and his whole body exuded endless charm. Even the bones of different races on the surface of "Corpse Cathedral" turned their attention.
He looked around and immediately fixed his gaze on the main entrance of Corpse Cathedral.
This is Angel manifested by Klein's ability as "Staff of the Stars".
And it was Angel "Mirror Person" who restored the strength of Sequence 1 "Apocalypse" Demoness in the George III mausoleum!
If Klein is located in Physical World, and you hold "Staff of the Stars" and try to summon Angelica's Mirror Person, it will almost certainly fail. Because he has never actually seen "Mirror Person" who briefly recovered his strength with "Yesterday Once More" Charm. Even if he has seen it, it is difficult to perfectly reproduce all the details in his mind, especially those abilities that he does not know the principles of.
But when located inside "Sefirah Castle", his status will be improved accordingly, and he can also get it when using Sealed Artifact of "Apprentice" Pathway With the help of the power of Gray Fog, and using the Angel body that has entered and exited Grey Fog Space many times as a template to manifest "Mirror Person", there is a high probability of success.
And when this "Apocalypse" Demoness came to Backlund, even if it was in Sefirah Castle, Klein felt that his Spirituality was draining away as quickly as opening a faucet.
This is the price for Sequence 3 to summon Sequence 1!
He held "Staff of the Stars" tightly and looked at Angel "Mirror Person" floating in Pinster Street through the vision left by Leonard. The latter's eyes and the open eyeballs on the snake's hair looked at the door of Leonard's house and looked at the surface of "Corpse Cathedral".
With the person of Sequence 1 and "Apocalypse", it will itself become one of the symbols of the authority it represents, just like the appearance of "Red Angel" means that the war he represents is coming to Loen, "Mirror Person" from Angel also brought Catastrophe from Apocalypse to Backlund.
But under His conscious control, "Catastrophe" was only reflected on the dark, bone-white surface of the church, and was concentrated on the closed main door.
In an instant, the white bones turned into ashes, the dark stone pillars and walls were stained with gray, and the entire wall where the church's main entrance was located quickly collapsed.
The barrier that prevented Spirit World, Astral World from communicating with reality was shattered, and the enclosed internal scene was finally revealed in front of "Mirror Person" and Klein.
Inside the church, which should have been completely dark, strips of faintly dancing light circled and gathered inside, and together with the shadows they cast, they condensed into a transparent crystal pillar, with Klein's familiar "Worm of Time" squirming inside.
It is held in the hands of Amon, who is wearing a pointed hat and a monocle between his right eyes.
Looking at Angel "Mirror Person" who destroyed the front entrance of the Corpse Cathedral he stole with one blow, this Blasphemer smiled, as if he knew that what he was facing was just a false projection summoned by "Staff of the Stars" and could only launch one attack.
He held up the Beyonder Characteristic left behind by Pallez with one hand, pressed it on his chest with the other, and bowed slightly, as if he was saying goodbye after a performance.
PS: I've been too busy with work recently. After Sefirah's big work yesterday, I also have to revise the following outline. Today is just one chapter. I'm really sorry.
