No, he wants to run away!

Standing in front of Klein, "Admiral of Blood", who was occupying the opponent's body through "possession", raised his eyebrows and accelerated the process of occupation.

With the help of Zatwin, it only takes a few seconds.

But the next second, the "Mad Adventurer" Gehrman Sparrow in front of him disappeared.

There was no fire, no Paper Figurine falling, and he could not control his body. He only had the "control" of his head, and he just disappeared.

A figure slowly appeared on the back chair. Zatwin, who was wearing a black robe, sat in the position where Klein was a second ago. There was also confusion in his sunken eyes.

"My possession has been lifted?"

He said softly, as if he was asking or talking to himself.

It is not uncommon for "Wraith" to be depossessed. Severe injuries, Spirit Body's vibrations, and even many bullets directly attacking Spirit Body can attack the possessed person while causing the possessed "wronged soul" to give up its body and turn back into an invisible ghost.

But for Zatwin, the "puppet" of "Rose School" Demigod, Sequence 4, once the possession is completed, it is not that simple to run away from him.

Especially for a Sequence 5's "Marionettist".

So, how did this "Gehrman Sparrow" get rid of its own possession, and even disappear directly from the "Flesh and Blood Tree"?

He subconsciously wanted to use the instinct of "Wraith" to perform divination and confirm the whereabouts of the escaped Gehrman.

Now he was at sea. Even if he could escape, how far could he run?

But the next second, Zatwin's face suddenly changed, and his Spirituality issued a crazy reminder that a huge crisis is about to come here, and befall the entire "Flesh and Blood Tree"!

And the source of danger is beneath him?

A little later, "Admiral of Blood" Senior also felt something. He looked under Zatwin's body, his own captain's chair that looked like countless human bones.

The two of them almost immediately discovered a dark red iron piece lying on the ground next to the chair. The complex lines on it were shimmering, and a dangerous aura was emanating from its surface like substance, filling the entire captain's room.

What's this?

The first reaction of the two people was not to escape or respond through Beyonder Ability, but to be confused.

The breeze carried fine snowflakes and slapped it on Klein's face. He frowned subconsciously and bent his neck slightly to the side. Only then did he realize that his stiff body had returned to his control again.

He took out a small doll from his windbreaker. The palm-sized doll made of pale golden hair had turned dark, with a trace of sticky blood seeping out of its surface.

"Substitute Doll is almost scrapped... Even though I made all the preparations, I still underestimated the horror of 'possession'... If Zatwin hadn't released part of the control just now and let Senior take over, I wouldn't even be able to call for help..."

He murmured to himself, and the deep male voice gradually turned into a clear and melodious female voice. His face also changed, his height slightly increased by a few centimeters, and the shape of his chest, waist, and hips also began to change.

But then, "Klein" realized that the shirt and windbreaker he was wearing were not suitable for his changed body shape. He frowned and turned back into a male body. He coughed lightly and his tone returned to normal.

"Let's wait until we meet up with Klein..."

Angel, who used the ability of the "hypocrisy" ring to become Klein, looked around and found that just as planned, he had indeed arrived in the world in "The Travels of Grosell", and it was near the gate of the city that he had been to once before, next to the Double Door that only "outsiders" could see.

"In this way, getting out will not be a problem, and the place of return will not be on the 'Flesh and Blood Tree', but next to the 'The Travels of Grosell'."

She chuckled in the voice of "Gehrman", touched her pocket, and found the "betrayal" Charm hidden in the inner pocket of her windbreaker. The Charm, which had been activated in advance with Spirituality and could be used only by reciting the activation spell, had disappeared.

"Then what needs to be done is very simple..."

After confirming that Charm was not on his body, Angel straightened his body, stretched one hand forward, made a ritualistic gesture, and recited in a low voice Ancient Hermes:

"Betrayal."

Spirituality's premonition of danger came like a tide, and Zatwin made a decision immediately.

This decisiveness is also the basis for his ability to survive several wars within "Rose School".

His figure still sitting on the captain's chair instantly became illusory, about to turn into an invisible ghost, walk out through the wall, leave the captain's room, and leave the entire "Flesh and Blood Tree".

But the next moment, Dim Light flashed across the surface of the Black Gloves he was wearing on his left palm, and he gently clenched his fist as if he had a mind of his own.

Zatwin's almost invisible figure appeared again. He had floated to the wall, but his body quickly solidified and he almost hit the wall.

His "Ghostification" ability was stolen, stolen by his own glove, his own Sealed Artifact!

Looking at Sealed Artifact, whose surface was illusory, and then disappeared in his hand, Zatwin's light brown eyes, which were close to the color of his skin, slightly dilated, and he clasped his fingers as if he couldn't believe it, only to find that this piece was made by "Parasite" Sealed Artifact formed by Beyonder Characteristic has become a ghost, separated from his palm, slowly floating away, as if it has its own thoughts, and is even against its master.

This is the ability of that strange Charm?

Zatwin looked at the dark red iron piece that exuded a dangerous aura involuntarily, and found that the lines on its surface became more intense, as if it was about to drip blood.

The premonition of danger originating from Spirit World was like reality, pressing down from the top of his head.

Without any hesitation, he reached forward with one hand and grabbed the Sealed Artifact gloves that had "betrayed" him and drifted farther and farther away, and then the figure disappeared from the captain's room.

On the deck, Sailor, who was pulling up the ferry boat through the crane arm, stiffened, and a strange black-robed figure appeared in his eyes, and then Zatwin appeared from beside him.

"Mirror Flash"!

Zatwin, whose ghost ability was stolen by his own gloves, had no choice but to leave the captain's cabin, but he did not stop on the deck, but looked towards the sea in the distance.

A piece of sea far away from "Flesh and Blood Tree" suddenly froze, and a crystal clear Ice Mirror, reflecting the sunlight, took shape, with the figure in black robe also appearing on it.

The next second, Zatwin once again used "Mirror Flash" to leave the sailboat where the strange aura was gradually spreading.

At this time, "Admiral of Blood" Senior staggered out of the inner cabin. The three-cornered hat on his head had disappeared, revealing short hair, and his face was paler than usual.

In just a few seconds, he fell twice, interrupting his Ghostification process and almost unable to escape from the room that had become extremely dangerous.

There is no doubt that the Lucky Coin I am wearing is also working against me and has become an "unlucky coin"...

Senior instinctively touched the necklace hanging on his chest. Different from the usual cold touch, the ancient coin was a little warm at this time.

Even Master Zatwin fled in a hurry, so I have to...

There was a flash of hesitation in his heart.

The foot is his flagship, and he spent countless efforts to decorate it in his favorite look!

But Sailor, who was operating the crane in front of him, helped him make the final decision.

"Senior Master!"

He turned his head this way and greeted him respectfully, as normal as usual.

If the head did not leave the body, dragging the spine and esophagus, and if his body did not continue to operate the crane a few meters away, then it would actually be quite normal...

Senior's eyes were focused, and he had locked onto the crystal ice surface formed by Zatwin on the distant sea. He also used "Mirror Flash" to leave his own "Flesh and Blood Tree".

This ship is no longer available...

Behind him, the entire sailboat was in chaos. Several Beyonder pirates were struggling with their own Mystical Item. The ordinary pirates didn't understand what was happening, but their bodies already had thoughts of their own.

A feast of "betrayal" begins here!

This should be enough...

Angel, who still maintained the "Mad Adventurer" look of Klein, breathed a sigh of relief and put down his arms.

Her Spirituality is still in a strong state because the activation is not on her body, and the "betrayal" Charm left on the "Flesh and Blood Tree" is not using her Spirituality.

To be exact, it's not the current Spirituality, but last night's.

After discussing the plan to escape Bayam with Klein, she poured Spirituality into a completed Charm in advance, allowing it to remain in a state that can be activated by the opening spell at any time. This is different from "Unaging" Demoness Katarina has proven to be a feasible method in the battle.

Unlike the various Charms made by praying to God and receiving responses, "Calamity", "Betrayal" and other Charms made using Angel's own blood have loose conditions that make her feel uneasy. It is okay to pour Spirituality first and then delay the chanting of the incantation. It is also possible to chant the incantation first and then delay the infusing of Spirituality, and the interval can even be several hours.

"If this is what 'Orange Light' Hilarion calls 'investment,' then this investor who I have never met is too generous... It is hard to imagine what kind of return he or she needs from me."

She murmured, leaving from the Book World city wall and approaching the Double Door door.

As long as it is pushed away, Angel can leave "The Travels of Grosell" and return to this parchment book in reality.

And it's right now...

Bayam On the edge of a dense jungle near the city, a young woman was running quickly. Her long, light-gold hair was fluttering in the wind. The gem necklace on her chest jumped out of her collar due to the violent movement. The rubies shone bright yellow like lava.

From time to time, she looked towards the dense forest behind her, where leaves were falling, puddles reflected the blue of the sky, and running beasts stiffened from time to time, and then quickly fled.

But in the eyes of her who opened Spirit Vision, this scene was not as peaceful as it appeared on the surface.

Two dense black threads tangled back and forth quickly shuttled through the dense forest. Most of them extended to infinity, and a few shot towards women, as if they could be grasped easily.

But she didn't dare to touch the two Demigod's "Spirit Body Threads" no matter what.

Turning her gaze decisively, she glanced at Black Flame, which was gradually dissipating on the other side of the Bayam city. A trace of worry flashed in her purple eyes. She tightened the book with a dark brown cover in her hand, and continued running towards the cliff in the distance without stopping.

But the next second, her body paused, and a translucent human shape suddenly appeared next to her.

The humanoid figure quickly turned real. He lost his top hat, and the "Gehrman" with a slightly wrinkled windbreaker appeared on the grass at the edge of the dense forest.
