That night, Angel made all preparations for promotion at home.
Feynapotter Fly had been ground into powder by her own hands and put into a special test tube. Black Mandala Flower squeezed the juice, filtered and bottled it. The Mummy Ashes bought from Apothecary Darkwill was also weighed accurately and kept aside for later use.
She had a delicious dinner, which solved most of the cravings that had been enhanced by carrying "Madness Ring" for a long time, and removed all the Mystical Item and Charm on her body including "Magician Pocket Watch" They are all placed in the bedroom on the second floor away from the basement. Although according to experience, carrying Mystical Item will not affect promotion, but Sequence 6 is a stage that neither she nor Cole Granger has experienced. Everything must be the safest.
Crimson Moon, which was still full a few days ago, now has a chip, which will not affect Beyonder and Spirituality.
Taking one last look at the scenery outside the window, Angel took all the Potion materials to the basement and placed them one by one on Alchemy Table.
Finally, she did not forget to do a simple divination with the pendulum to confirm whether there was any danger in her promotion tonight.
Although Pendulum Divination is not a divination method that "Witch" is good at, it is often more accurate than Magic Mirror for this "yes or no" question. The slowly turning clockwise citrine tells Angel that there will be danger in tonight's promotion, but not much.
This is in line with the rules of promotion by taking Potion. Even if it is foolproof, promotion itself has certain risks, but I have completely digested the previous Sequence, and these risks are acceptable.
Pour Black Mandrake Juice, Feynapotter Fly powder and Mummy Ashes one by one into the crucible containing Pure Water, Angel opened the box containing Succubus's eyes, first took out all the curled, spider-like banshee hairs inside, felt their silky touch in his hands, and then put all the hairs into the crucible.
After this group of hair, which was larger than the volume of the crucible, came into contact with the solution that had turned into gray-black, it immediately melted into it and disappeared without a trace. The entire pot of solution did not increase at all. For a moment, Angel thought that the action of putting the hair in was his hallucination.
"The last two main materials..."
She put two Succubus eyes, which were about the same size as human eyes, into the water and watched them float, gradually dyeing the gray-black solution into red.
Opening another small iron box, she put Adult Widow Giant Spider's Silk Gland, a black-purple heart-shaped pouch, into the crucible. The floating silk glands collided with the two eyeballs and slowly sank into the red solution, making it even brighter red, like blood.
The liquid in the crucible rotated on its own, with a depression in the middle and bulges around it, like Vortex in the sea, attracting Angel's attention.
Such a strange sight made her do another temporary divination and confirmed that what was in front of her was the correctly configured "Demoness of Pleasure" Potion.
Transfer the Potion in the pot to the cup, Angel lift the cup of Potion, raise your head and drink it all.
As soon as Potion entered her throat, it burned all the way from her esophagus to her stomach, making her feel hot all over her body. Her limbs and torso seemed to be burned by flames, and her skin raised transparent blisters that slowly disappeared into her body.
Strands of pale golden silk threads stretched out from behind Angel, fell to the ground, and gradually piled up. She took a closer look and realized that they were her own hair. They were growing and lengthening rapidly, and soon filled the ground under her feet, gathering around her under the restraints of Wall of Spirituality.
Hair grows rapidly... could this be a sign of loss of control?
Angel immediately recalled the classics he had read inside Nighthawks. One of the signs of loss of control is the rapid growth of hair and nails.
But except for her body being a little hot and the pain from the blisters on her skin, she didn't seem to feel like she was on the verge of losing control after taking Potion several times before.
When he was looking at the long hair on the ground with his eyes wide open, the scene in front of Angel suddenly disappeared, leaving only a piece of blood pouring out of the void. They were like the light of the full moon, and they were like the weird red color when Blood Moon appeared.
Suddenly, Angel's Spirituality, which had gradually stabilized after taking Potion, began to boil like boiling water, and the body that accommodated these Spirituality also began to boil as if it had been thrown into boiling water!
"Ah——"
Angel let out a scream and fell into her long golden hair covering the ground. She stretched out a hand to support the ground, and found that in addition to the previous blisters, the exposed skin had a few red irregular lines... No, those were not lines, but cracks. Her skin was cracking!
Struggling to scratch Wall of Spirituality, Angel stumbled down the stairs and climbed out of the basement, tripped over his own hair, and fell on the cold floor of the living room.
She struggled to hold up her upper body, and her eyes happened to meet the bay window next to the door, and the full Blood Moon outside the window.
"Why... isn't it already the full moon..."
As soon as a trace of doubt arose in her mind, she was filled with pain that was about to boil her whole body.
"Magic Mirror Substitute... magic wand... pocket watch..."
Pieces of life-saving items and Beyonder Ability to escape the predicament emerged from her mind in the intervals of pain, but these Mystical Item and spell-casting materials were carefully placed on the second floor and were out of reach at this time.
By the way, there is a dressing mirror in the bathroom, Magic Mirror Substitute...
Angel tried to gather the Spirituality in her body and made a final struggle through a substitute, but the boiling Spirituality was not controlled by the brain at all. Not to mention the Magic Mirror Substitute that consumed a lot, she could not even ignite a pinch of Spirituality flame now.
At this point, even if Magic Mirror or a wand were put into her hands, she wouldn't have enough Spirituality to use them...
But even so, she still subconsciously crawled towards the second floor, leading to various equipment and items. The hair that she had dragged behind her before, which was longer than her height, now became the biggest obstacle, binding her hands and feet, making it difficult for her to move.
Before he could take two steps, Angel gave up struggling. His limbs were limp and he fell to the ground, twitching in waves. The only thing he carried, a citrine pendant for divination, rolled to the side.
"Evernight...Goddess... The Lord of Crimson..."
Hazy, she recited Goddess and Honorific Name, but the endless severe pain and twitching limbs caused her to interrupt her prayers several times, and in the end she was unable to recite the prayers completely.
Cherwood Borough, 15 Minsk Street.
"Ah sneeze——"
Klein Moretti covered his mouth and nose with a tissue, sneezed, then wiped out the snot from his nose with the tissue, rolled it into a ball, and threw it into the trash basket nearby. There were already seven or eight balls of rounded tissues in the basket, almost covering the garbage below.
Last night, he, Sharron, and Maric set up an ambush in the abandoned West Baylun Shipyard, and jointly defeated Rose School Beyonder who was chasing two defectors.
After that, Klein received his share of rewards, a Beyonder Characteristic of "Werewolf", a book of "Secret Book" that recorded occult knowledge, and a Mystical Item and Biological Toxin Bottle.
And his current cold symptoms come from the latter's Biological Toxin. Even if the bottle cap is not unscrewed to release the toxin, carrying it will make people gradually weak and eventually sick. He just took this Mystical Item and hid in Lever Church of West Borough for half an hour to avoid being hunted by "Machinery Hivemind". Plus the time it took to get home, it turned out like this.
"Maybe I should drink a glass of water and go to bed early. The cold will be cured tomorrow. Hey, don't ask. Just drink more hot water."
He laughed at himself, stood up from the sofa, and prepared to wash up and go to bed.
At this moment, through the gap in the partially closed curtains, a more condensed moonlight than before shone into the living room, almost covering up the gas light in the room and covering all the furniture with a layer of crimson gauze.
Klein curiously came to the oriel window, opened the curtains and looked at the sky, and found that Crimson Moon, which was missing a corner before, became bright red again and became full.
"Blood Moon suddenly again? This is the second time this month. It was only two weeks ago when I was promoted to Blood Moon..."
Talking to himself and closing the curtains, Klein sighed, went upstairs to the bedroom, closed the doors and windows, and was ready to enter Grey Fog Space.
At the time of Blood Moon, "Magician" Miss is likely to need help. It seems that he will have to be busy for a while. Fortunately, according to experience, this sudden Blood Moon will not last too long.
Sure enough, just as he was getting ready, Klein heard illusory prayers echoing in his ears.
He was about to take four steps backwards to Gray Fog when another voice came into his ears, also chanting "Fool" Honorific Name, but the tone was extremely familiar.
His heart tightened, Klein didn't care to think about it, and quickly walked four steps counterclockwise, saying names such as Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings, allowing Spirit Body to enter Gray Fog and enter the magnificent palace.
In the endless starry sky in the distance, two illusory stars are constantly expanding and contracting. One belongs to "Magician" Miss who just joined Tarot Club, and the other...
In the void surrounded by other stars where he had stared countless times, another star was relit, which belonged to "Empress" Miss, Angel Granger.
