Looking at the middle-aged man with a cautious face and holding five White Candles in each hand, Angel almost laughed out loud.
If she wanted to, she could immediately use the "Wind-blessed" Beyonder Ability of "Rose Necklace" to blow the cold wind towards the other party, instantly extinguishing even ten burning candles, making this Bureau 8 official Beyonder disappear without a trace like those college students who tried their best, and no one would even remember that he was there.
But after knowing that the other party belonged to the Trier official, Angel had no intention of killing him. After all, this person was also working hard to protect his city and country. There was no essential difference between him and the "Nighthawks" people except for their different affiliations.
"Do you think I can't blow out your candle?"
She still spoke unforgivingly.
"As long as I can't blow it all out at once, I can light it again." The man took two steps back, obviously not as fearless as his words, "And my teammates will arrive soon, you still..."
He didn't know how to threaten Demoness who didn't even need to light a candle in front of him. After all, he was at an absolute disadvantage in the current situation.
"What? You know there is nothing you can do against me?" Angel chuckled, and the figure disappeared again, "Tell your teammates to focus on the Demoness named Sevillea. I am not a Demoness Sect person, and I will not appear in Trier again."
She slowly backed away and left the small square where "Krismona Night Pillar" stood. The man "Bureau 8" looked gloomily at the place where she last made her voice without making any further movements. He held a handful of candles in each hand, like a funny candlestick.
It's not that Angel doesn't want to take advantage of the current short-term advantage to ask more questions. He can even reveal his official identity as Beyonder and exchange information with each other.
But firstly, there were only a few minutes until Mr. Fool's "preview", and secondly, she was not sure whether the "teammates" mentioned by the other party were on their way. If they were all "Seer" Pathway like this man, and Flaming Jump appeared directly, it might delay her and make her miss the final opportunity to return.
Due to this concern, Angel didn't even light the candles now, but directly used his special characteristics to rush towards the corridor three days ago with the help of Dark Vision.
After turning the familiar right-angled bend again, the black line with the one-way arrow above the head was finally interrupted, the passage became narrow, and the corpses scattered in the passage disappeared without a trace. The tombs on both sides no longer had the nameplate Intisian.
Finally... back to where we were three days ago...
Angel sighed and continued to move forward carefully, making final confirmations.
In a Stone Chamber, she found Bishop Miller's body that had lost Beyonder Characteristic. Three days later, the blood stains on Storm Bishop Robe seemed to have not dried up and slowly flowed onto the stone floor.
After three days, even if it was in dry underground, the body should have decomposed to a certain extent, not to mention that the environment here is not very good... Angel curiously explored Miller's body with his feet, and found that he did not even show rigor mortis, as if he had just died less than an hour ago.
The only difference from last time is that under Miller's body, or to be precise, on the entire floor of Stone Chamber, there are complex patterns and symbols similar to those beside the Bansy Island cave altar. They have been soaked in an unknown dark red liquid, and they look extremely weird under Angel's Dark Vision.
Comparing it with the scene in her memory, she found that these lines were exactly the same as those beside the altar during the living sacrifice.
So, it should be obvious what to do...
Angel dragged Miller's body to the center of the dark red lines on the ground, corresponding to the proper position of the altar, and allowed his undried blood to slowly flow out and blend into the dark red liquid inside these lines.
Angel stood next to Miller, closing his eyes, waiting for the moment to return to Bansy Island.
Tick tock—tick tock—
The regular sound of water drops dripping from the cracks in the rocks made Angel feel a little irritable. She opened her eyes again and found that she was still in this Stone Chamber, with Miller's body still at her feet.
Could it be that what the altar needs is not the blood of Miller?
Angel recalled the experience of the last battle. After Miller was killed by her, the blood flowed all over the ground and soaked the patterns and symbols on the altar, and then she...
No, in addition to Miller's blood, there is also my own!
The image in her mind was that she had been cut by Wind Blade, which oozed out before healing, and then dripped onto a wisp of blood on the altar.
"It seems that I may really have some special characteristics that triggered Strange Phenomenon of Bansy Island and activated the ritual on the altar. I am not even affected by the mysterious power of Trier Underground Catacombs..."
Angel is full of questions now, but the first thing to do is to go back to Bansy Island. Others can be analyzed slowly later.
The "Knight Bracelet" on the wrist turned into a dagger. Angel lightly cut his forearm, letting the bright red blood flow out slowly and dripping along the drooping fingers into the complex lines on the ground.
The next moment, she fell into a darkness that even Dark Vision couldn't see through.
The strong smell of blood entered Angel's nasal cavity. She wrinkled her nose subconsciously, opened her eyes, and found that she had left the Stone Chamber and returned to the cave full of blood.
Three days have passed, and nothing here has changed much. The headless corpses and their separated heads were piled together, as if they were ready to find time to burn them. The candles on the surrounding sacrificial candlesticks have been extinguished, and the dark red lines on the ground are still there, but the blood inside has disappeared, as if the blood inside has been "used".
As for Mandated Punishers, the survivors, and the bodies of the victims, they are no longer in the cave.
"Fortunately, they didn't seal this place... Otherwise, I might fall into the hands of the Mandated Punisherss as soon as I come back."
Angel thought happily, stepped down from the altar, looked back, and found that Bishop Miller's body had not returned with it.
It seems like a good way to dispose of the body... No one would have thought that his body would now be in the catacombs of Intistrier and have another home of its own, right?
After teasing the unlucky Bishop Miller, Angel quickly left the cave filled with the smell of blood, walked through the winding passage, and saw the crimson moonlight.
According to her plan, the next step is to return to Bansy Harbor and wait for the next ship passing by to Bayam. During this period, she will inquire about the attitudes of team Bansy Mandated Punishers and Church of Storms, and decide whether to take the initiative to hand over Beyonder Characteristic of Bishop Miller.
After all, their reputation is not very good. No matter what the reason is for Grazing to Bishop Miller, they may be regarded as hostile behavior by this group of somewhat violent Mandated Punishers.
While Angel was thinking carefully, he looked down from the cliff, and was surprised to find a ship with a three-masted sail and a chimney docked in the harbor below.
"It looks like... no, it is indeed White Agate!"
In her impression, Captain Erlan said that White Agate would only stay at Bansy for one night. Even if it was because Strange Phenomenon was delayed for some time by the original Indo, it would have been long ago to set sail in three days. It was impossible to delay the itinerary of hundreds of passengers on the ship just for herself.
But at this time, the Passenger Ship actually appeared in her eyes.
"Anyway, let's go back to the ship first... I hope they were not detained by Church of Storms in Bansy because of me..."
She was a little excited in her heart. She took two steps and jumped out of the cliff. Then, with the power of "Feather Fall", she slowly floated towards White Agate below.
The wind in Bansy Island was no longer as violent as it was three days ago, but as the speed of descent accelerated, Angel's face was still blown more violently by the salty smell of sea water. Soon, she found that her falling speed did not seem to stop because of "Feather Fall".
"Wait, wait a minute..."
As soon as her eyes widened in surprise, she fell into the sea near White Agate at an extremely fast speed and sank to the bottom of the sea with a "plop".
Fortunately, the soul of "Wind-blessed" Miller has been captured by "Rose Necklace" Grazing, Angel very Thanks to Ocean Affinity's ability, Illusory Scales grew under the skin but made the skin slippery. Small gills also appeared on both cheeks, allowing it to breathe and move smoothly in the water.
She found that with the help of these Illusory Scales, she could swim quickly in the sea, several times faster than White Agate.
After two excited attempts, Angel realized that he had very little Spirituality left and that he had exhausted a lot of energy. Then he swam to the pier and landed on the beach near where the ship was docked.
"Strange, even Beyonder Ability of Sequence 6 can't consume so much Spirituality... Could it be that in the process of returning from Trier to Bansy, too much Spirituality and physical strength were consumed due to the Teleportation ceremony?"
She muttered, dragging her soaked clothes towards the beach. Her back was sore and her limbs were weak, as if she had been exercising strenuously for several hours.
After leaving the sea water, Angel released the Ocean Affinity of "Wind-blessed", and the Illusory Scales on her face and limbs began to slowly disappear. She changed from breathing through her gills to inhaling through her nose, and felt the smell of the wet and salty sea breeze filling her nasal cavity.
Suddenly, there was a sound of running approaching from behind. Angel turned around in confusion and saw two figures, one tall and one short, running towards him quickly.
The shorter one was faster. With a cry of "Siren Miss", Donna plunged into Angel's arms. The huge impact made her, who was already a little weak, couldn't help but take a step back before hugging the excited girl.
She first patted Donna's back comfortingly, and then looked at the other person.
Klein was wearing a long windbreaker, with a silk top hat tilted on his head. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, as if he wanted to smile, but he was forced to hold it back because he wanted to maintain the performance of "Gehrman".
The figure she had been dreaming about for three days appeared before her eyes again.
But...
"Why are you here?"
she asked doubtfully.
