East Balam, Gura In City.
In the living room of the hotel room where Klein lives, the light yellow of the carpet, the gray of the walls, and the moonlight outside the window all turned into bright colors. Five figures appeared in the room, making the living room, which was not spacious, crowded.
With both feet on the ground, Angel climbed up to the single sofa against the wall with some difficulty, and sat on it unwilling to move.
Although the "betrayal" Charm was not used in the end, so Angel's Spirituality was far from exhausted, but maintaining Incomplete Mythical Creature Form passively for a long time still made her feel physically and mentally exhausted, her limbs were limp, and she just wanted to close her eyes and have a good sleep.
Fortunately, nothing happened in the end, and Mr. Azik came back alive, without turning into a cold "Death Consul"... As soon as he thought of this, Angel looked at Azik, who had lost his top hat and had messy black hair. The latter had just removed his hand from Klein's shoulder, pressed his forehead with the other hand and pinched it, and said with a smile:
"You should have heard just now that I chose the last option, which allowed me to retain all the memories I cherish now and not become what you don't want to see.
"However, I still need a long sleep to recover from the trauma of my soul, maybe a few days, maybe a few years. Of course, unlike previous rebirths, I will retain my current body. After all, I am not yet 40 years old, haha."
He smiled gently, but Angel and Klein both had serious faces and could not laugh at all.
"There won't be any other problems, right? Like, is that woman actually lying to you?"
After a while, Klein asked carefully.
"He will not lie to me. This is not trust, but analysis from a rational perspective. He can take away the part he needs directly, but still gives me a few choices... Besides, there is no big problem. I will have a premonition of death at the end of each life, arrange everything, and then wake up again to retrieve my memory."
"Who is He? Is it just Angel of Church of Evernight? I remember the church has been hunting you?"
Angel interjected and asked.
Solving Backlund Great Smog Incident is what Sequence 2's Angel can do, but in the mausoleum just now, it is far beyond Sequence 2's ability to easily prevent the fusion of "Artificial Death" and Azik, and to give "three choices" with ease.
"I can't tell you His identity unless He wants you to know... but your guess is Error's."
Azik smiled mysteriously. Then, without waiting for Angel to ask, he took out the exquisite Copper Whistle, threw it towards Klein, and said:
"Write to me more. When I wake up this time, I may forget everything again, but seeing your letters will help me retrieve my memory faster."
"I will."
Klein didn't say much, and reached out to take Copper Whistle.
Azik looked at Angel again, paused, and said:
"That ring is of little use to you, but it can help me wake up faster... Where is the 'Death' Pathway item on your body? I might be able to give it some special abilities..."
Hearing this, Angel took out the white feather from a dead Feathered Serpent and lifted the simple seal. This would have allowed the aura of "Wings of Death" to escape, filling the whole room with the aura of death. However, under the suppression of "Death Consul" in front of him, the feathers were like decorations that could be seen everywhere, showing no abnormalities at all.
Taking the feather, Azik poked his arm with the tip, and then attached the tail end to the wound, staining the feather with a wisp of dark red blood.
This makes the barbules of "Wings of Death" become more dense, like extra hairs growing out.
"This does not change its essence. It is still Mystical Item formed from Beyonder Characteristic of Sequence 4'Undying', but for certain purposes, such as suppressing and controlling undead creatures, it can have stronger effects."
Returning the feather to Angel, Azik explained softly.
Just like Klein's Copper Whistle, Zombie and ghosts often compete for it like vicious dogs pouncing on its prey... Angel nodded and carefully put away the "upgraded" Mystical Item.
This characteristic will make "Wings of Death" more inconvenient to use and need to be sealed from time to time, but at a critical moment, this "control power" that is one level higher and may even reach the level of Sequence 2 may be able to save her life.
Seeing that both of them had collected their "gifts", Azik smiled again, looked out the window, at Crimson Moon who was obscured by clouds, and said with some melancholy:
"It's time for me to leave and find a place suitable for me to have a good sleep. In my dream, I can meet her again, I can build a swing for her, I can teach him how to choose his own horse and sword..."
He turned around and looked at Angel and Klein who were silent.
"... You will also be there in the dream. Of course, Tingen didn't have so many things happen, and you never left... I will attend your wedding."
After saying that, Azik stretched out his hand to press his head. Then he remembered that the top hat had disappeared while fighting "Artificial Death". He smiled awkwardly, stepped into Spirit World, and left.
This time, he didn't come back.
After calming down their depressed mood, the two sat on the chairs next to the balcony and began to summarize everything that happened tonight.
First of all, the biggest gain for the two people is undoubtedly "Hell Admiral" Ludwell. This "Gatekeeper" is standing with his legs slightly open, his hands behind his back, and a thin sword on his waist, like a responsible guard.
The mask on his face was still on, and the pale flame in his eyes became subtle, as if he was sleeping.
This Pathway starting with "Corpse Collector" has the ability to communicate with spirits. Whether it is Spirit World Creature in nature or the undead spirit of Underworld, they all belong to their royal range.
Of course, to touch the real Underworld, only "Gatekeeper" of Sequence 5 can do it.
"The 'personal Underworld' he possesses in his body can accommodate a certain number of dead souls, thereby gaining unique abilities. The white mask of Ludwell comforts and seals a powerful in his body. Underworld creature, while the latter was being used by him, it also affected his body, turning it into a half-undead, half-human existence. This is also the reason why he can open Underworld Gate and let the flagship enter Underworld."
Klein explained, asking Ludwell to stretch out his hand and press it on his mask, but did not lift it off.
"It's better to be careful and wait until you are fully prepared before opening the mask."
He forced a smile and said.
Angel also looked at "Hell Admiral" curiously, understanding the origin of his nickname and the reason why he dared to enter God War Ruins alone.
"Where's the sword? Is it also Mystical Item?"
She asked, pointing to the thin sword on Ludwell's waist.
"It's called 'Harris Rapier'. It is not the product of a single characteristic, but the result of the irregular aggregation of multiple characteristics," explained Klein, who can read the shallow consciousness of Marionette. "Its only ability is to bring absolute destructive power to its attacks."
No wonder "Sword of Dawn" was almost destroyed by it... Thinking of the short sword duel with Pirate Admiral on Black Tulip, Angel curled his lips and put away the slightest thought of taking away the rapier for his own use.
She is good at chopping and is more accustomed to this kind of attack method. The stabbing sword is not suitable for her.
"So, second question, who is that woman?"
After sending Ludwell to the corner of the room, Klein picked up Lemon Black Tea that Enzo had poured, leaned on the back of the chair and asked.
"I heard His voice at the end of Great Smog. Combined with your experience in Mist Town, I can be sure that He is 'Mother of the Sky', a certain Angel in Goddess Church."
Angel said, then frowned and continued his analysis:
"However, a Angel of Sequence 2 should not have the ability to terminate the 'fusion' process of 'Artificial Death' and Mr. Azik. According to the test of my attack, and Mr. Azik's Reaction, 'Artificial Death' is most likely Sequence 1, or even part of Fourth Epoch, the 'Death' Salinger that set off Pale Calamity...
"And 'Mother of the Sky' who suddenly appeared in the mausoleum was not only able to stop 'Death' Salinger, but also had the power to let Mr. Azik make his own choice. He even called Death by his first name without any change in his tone.
"The most important thing is that Mr. Azik just mentioned that unless 'He wants us to know', he cannot reveal this identity..."
Is this really something that a Sequence 2 or even a Sequence 1 can do?
Thinking of this, Angel made a guess that he couldn't even believe.
She looked at Klein who was holding the teacup. The latter had long forgotten to drink tea. His eyes were a little straight. He was obviously recalling something and making his own judgment on the current speculation.
"When we pressed Holy Artifact in front of 'Goddess's Sword' and swore an oath, maybe we were caught in his sight. You once said that stealing Antigonus Family Notebook was a 'trial' for me. I have been thinking about who is preparing for this trial and who is paying attention to me..."
He murmured, his eyes gradually widening.
Then, the two of them turned their heads together, looked out the window and poked their heads out from behind the clouds again, spreading their crimson light towards Earth Mother's Moon.
If it was Him, everything would make sense.
As the winner of the Fourth Epoch war, He is fully capable and has reason to call the name "Death";
As the top of "Evernight" Pathway, he has every reason to pay attention to "Death" Pathway, which can be interchanged with High Sequence;
As "Lord of Sleep and Silence", he prevents the resurrection of "Death" Salinger and intercepts part of the power, which is very reasonable;
The most important thing is that when Azik recalled everything and was driven by only half of the soul left in the body to combine with "Artificial Death", two of his followers, two "Blessed" were present, which allowed him to locate the secret tomb of Death, come to the scene, and respond in time.
He is Lady of Crimson, Mother of Concealment, Empress of Misfortune and Terror, Lord of Repose and Silence, Evernight Goddess who is more noble than the starry sky and longer than eternity!
