The moment he opened his eyes, Angel knew that his "bet" was right this time.

Of course, when Demoness rushed towards a High Sequence without hesitation, she didn't think so much. She just wanted to stop the Deadly smog that continued to spread, and to delay it for a while so that Arianna could get to East Borough.

But it's hard to say whether she would have welcomed another death without hesitation if she hadn't experienced Tingen Divine Descent Incident's "resurrection from the dead."

The only question now is, is he lying in the coffin, or is he being taken to Winter County's "Holy Cathedral" again?

Trying to open his eyes wide, Angel turned his head and looked around, but his sight seemed to be blocked by something, and everything he could reach was pitch black.

"My eyesight hasn't recovered yet? Or is it affected by some extraordinary power?"

She tried to reach out in front of her eyes, only to realize that she was still lying on the ground. She quickly climbed up on her hands and feet and stood firm.

The ground was made of soft soil, and it even smelled like the fragrance after the rain. But when Angel rubbed a piece of soil and handed it to his eyes, he could barely see his three fingers and the bit of black sandwiched between them.

There is no problem with vision... so Dark Vision is not working?

Could it be that I am in the same basement as when I first came to this world, and this time even Dark Vision is gone?

I recalled with trepidation the night when I first arrived at Tingen. Angel tried to summon Cursed Black Flame, but found that my Spirituality had no response. Let alone Black Flame, not even a flame appeared.

It's like I have become an ordinary person who has not taken Potion...

Thinking of this, she no longer tried to wait in place, but groped forward, and soon found herself in a pit surrounded by gentle slopes. The upper edge of the pit was illuminated by a ray of red light, allowing her to recognize the direction instead of spinning at the bottom of the pit.

The soil beside the pit continued to slide downwards under her step. Fortunately, although she lost Beyonder Ability, she still had the physical strength of a normal person. She dug through the soft soil and quickly dug out the small pit. The moment her eyes left the pit, the first ray of light after waking up appeared in front of Angel.

It was the scorching light of lava gushing from the depths of the broken mountains in the distance.

At this moment, Angel understood her situation: she was probably no longer on Loen, or even on the North Continent.

Even though she had only been in this world for a few months, she knew that there was no such huge active volcano in the entire North Continent, let alone within Loen or near Backlund.

"I can't possibly reach the location of Mr. 'Sun''s City of Silver. It doesn't seem to belong to South North Continent. He also said that the outside of the city is always in darkness..."

Ridiculing to himself, Angel left the pit and looked around through the faint Yellow Light line of lava in the distance.

This is a dirt-paved street that can only accommodate three carriages abreast. It is lined with strange-style buildings. They are made of long stones and are attached to stone pillars. The mud on the joints is already mottled, and the shadows on the surface are shaking strangely in the dim firelight.

Angel, who lacks knowledge of history and geography, cannot tell which country or era the style is from. If she were to use her existing memory to describe it, it would be more like "Ancient Greece style."

Walking among these stone buildings, she thought for a moment that she had returned to the earth, to the ruins of the ancient city of Europe.

Until I met a figure standing in the shadows at the corner of the street.

Beyonder Ability The lack of sense of security made her immediately alert, but this figure did not react at all to the visitor. He just lowered his head and stood quietly with his back to the volcano in the distance.

"Hello?"

Realizing that she needed to find a living person as soon as possible to understand her current location and related circumstances, she hesitated for a moment but took the lead in saying hello.

Of course, she uses Loenese... if that doesn't work, she also knows some Feysac slang and Intisian, and can always establish effective communication with strangers.

Attracted by her words, the figure slowly raised his head.

At this time, a volcano behind Angel erupted with intense light, spewing out a large amount of bright yellow lava, illuminating the front of the mysterious figure.

The thin face was covered with lines like black paint, and the long pale golden hair almost covered his eyes. Between the hair, two blood-red eyeballs slowly rotated, and their eyes were locked here.

As if a basin of ice water was poured from head to toe, Angel shivered.

In front of her is another Angel Granger.

The moment she discovered this, a huge suction force came from behind her, pulling her up from the dirt ground and flying backwards into the air.

The "Ancient Greece buildings" around me moved forward quickly, and then there were some kind of Gothic low-rise houses similar in style to Loen, round windows with stained glass, and continuous walls of red bricks and green tiles...

Finally, an invisible force pulled her to the ground, where she fell onto the same dirt ground as before.

Angel quickly climbed up and glanced around. The street scenes of many styles flashed by just now. Some of them felt strange to her, and some of them felt familiar to her. But at this moment, there were no buildings around, only the endless darkness.

Am I back in that pit again? Who was that "Angel" just now? It looks like what I look like when I lose control, and my eyes are red and I can't communicate. Could it be some kind of Beyonder Creature that can transform?

While she was thinking, she looked down. It was difficult for her to see even her feet in the darkness, but there were two more palm-sized cards on the ground than when she woke up just now.

No, those are two "Tarot Cards", Tarot Cards that is shining by itself!

Feeling something in her heart, she bent down and picked up Tarot Cards, one in each hand, and looked closer.

In one of them, she had just seen it not long ago. The evil spirit possessing Rafte Pound was attacking her, Klein and Sharron. Miss showed a picture of Card of Blasphemy named "Red Priest", which showed Emperor Roselle riding Chariot looking at her seriously at this time.

His eyes moved to the upper left corner, and there was indeed a line of text flashing there.

"Sequence 0: Red Priest."

Sure enough, the evil spirit really didn't say a word about the so-called "reward", and "Red Priest" was not in his hands at all.

Then another one...

She looked expectantly at the other Tarot Cards on her right hand.

It depicts a woman in white robe sitting sideways on a soft couch, with a plump and elegant figure, wearing a jeweled crown, but her face is that of a male Roselle Gustav. Different from the majestic "Red Priest", this Emperor Roselle has a playful smile, as if it is a unique pleasure for men to dress up as women.

In the upper left corner of Tarot Cards, there is also a line of flashing words:

"Sequence 0: Demoness."

This is... Sequence 0 of Demoness Pathway, and it is also God that Demoness Sect believes in. It is actually called this name... Then where does the prefix "Primordial" come from?

As if sensing her gaze, this Tarot Cards revealed streaks of Deep Purple light, just like the color of her eyes.

These rays of light condensed into an illusory book in the palm of Angel, composed of multiple Tarot Cardss. The pages were quickly flipped and displayed in front of her, showing Emperor Roselle wearing different costumes and posing in many poses.

There is Roselle who is wearing a cloak and jumping down from the sky with a dagger in hand; there is Roselle who is sneering and whispering to others; there is Roselle who is wearing a lady's dress and holding a crystal ball for divination...

Various Emperor Roselles with different appearances, clothes, and movements floated past her eyes one by one, accurately describing the Potion name of this Pathway.

Assassin, Instigator, Witch, Pleasure, Affliction, despair, Unaging...

Not only the names, but also their characteristics and the formula of Potion appeared on the pages of the book.

Angel opened her eyes wide, remembering these contents, but soon, her forehead began to twitch with pain. This was the first time she felt "pain" after entering this magical place.

Spirituality... Then Spirituality, which showed no movement when I tried to use Beyonder Ability, is actually going to be exhausted?

The idea of "Demoness" and "Red Priest" just flashed in Angel's mind. The wet soil under her feet and the surrounding darkness seemed to be pulled away from her.

When she felt dizzy and lay on her back, her eyes finally glanced at the sky, which she had not subconsciously observed.

The stars were shining all over the sky there, seeming to be very close. Moon was no longer crimson, but had a pale surface. A ravine that seemed to tear the entire moon surface lay across the center of Pale Moon.

Not Crimson Moon?

The last thoughts in her mind came with the coldness and darkness, and disappeared without a trace.
