In addition to the honorable names of gods that have been spread throughout the world and used in various formal mystical rituals, Angel only knows the four-part honorary name that points to an angel:

"The last afterglow of the empire, the master of Above the Five Seas, the balance of Spirit World order..."

From these paragraphs, Angel can see what elements are needed to make Honorific Name point to Anne.

"The Empire refers to the Trensoest Empire, which means that her Honorific Name has been modified in Fifth Epoch, and this will point to the 'afterglow' of the Empire that still exists in the world, which is the Ghost Ship they built; The second paragraph strengthens the above concept and limits the location to Above the Five Seas to prevent some ancient Angel from being included in the scope; the last paragraph represents her Sequence as 'Balancer'..."

Thinking about it, Angel wrote his first description on the parchment:

"Queen Feared by Pirates".

This is a very clear direction, almost directly limiting the target to two Pirate Queen, plus a few Pirate Admiral at most. The wider the reputation of "Angelica Zaki", the better the effect of this Honorific Name will be.

Based on the content of the legend "Golden Queen", she quickly wrote the second and third paragraphs:

"Master of the Spirit World Boat;

"Nightmare of Thousands of Ships."

The two paragraphs Honorific Name respectively describe the identity of the temporary captain of Angel and "Queen Anne's Revenge" and the various "feats" she has performed. In this heavy After Honorific Name, there is the history of blood and tears of famous ships such as "City Breaker", "Black Death", "Black Tulip", and "Flesh and Blood Tree".

If it is True God, it is enough here. Even if the direction of Honorific Name is not clear, the high rank is enough for him to be prioritized in the ceremony. However, Angel is currently only Sequence 4, so she added two more sentences at the end:

"Incarnation of Pain and Despair;

"Golden Angelica Zaki."

She originally wanted to use "great" to describe herself, but after Klein was just mentioned, she felt it was a bit rude to use it again, so she could only change it to the abbreviation of "Golden Queen".

His eyes swept over the five paragraphs of Honorific Name that belonged to him, Angel and Ancient Hermes were recited in a low voice. As expected, there was no response.

"It seems that only by being promoted to Sequence 3 can these Honorific Name be truly effective. Currently they can only be used in rituals of praying to oneself..."

She muttered, kneeling down between the candles and the temporary altar, getting into a comfortable position so that she could experience "Mystic Ritual" later. Then she entered meditation and silently recited her own Honorific Name over and over again.

This boring and monotonous behavior soon put Angel into a state of Spirituality divergence. The whole person was both hazy and awake, and his body became lighter, as if he was floating high into the sky.

Until the feeling of weightlessness appeared, she sensed it, opened her eyes, and found that she was really floating, above the ritual candles and her own body, existing independently in the state of Spirit Body.

For the highly inspired Beyonder, this step is not difficult. It is better to say that many people with abnormal inspiration often see things they shouldn't see, hear things they shouldn't hear, and die suddenly in their sleep because they enter a similar state too easily...

She took a deep breath with her non-existent lungs, passed over Spirit Body, and directly issued instructions to the body that was still kneeling on the ground with her eyes slightly closed. She raised her hand and dropped the essential oil that strengthened Spirituality into the candlelight, causing a psychedelic mist to spread around.

Then, she raised the "Demoness" card in her hand and chanted Honorific Name belonging to "Golden Queen" in Ancient Hermes:

"Queen Feared by Pirates, Master of the Spirit World Boat, Nightmare of Thousands of Ships, Incarnation of Pain and Despair, Golden Angelica Zaki..."

As the mist swayed in Ancient Hermes, which was rich in natural power, Angel actually heard a rustling sound in his ears. This was different from the clear and steady way Mr. "Fool" usually conveyed the prayers of other Tarot Club members, but Angel could still identify several important words in it.

Honorific Name takes effect!

Holding back the secret joy in his heart, Angel continued to direct his body and said:

"... I pray that you accept my sacrifice and give me strength."

Then, she raised the Card of Blasphemy in her hand, letting the rich Spirituality and extremely high-status item approach the Spirit Body above Angel.

Next is the most critical step...Angel's Spirit Body floated downwards. He first tried to summon a palm-sized playing card from the air, but found that Spirit Body had no power at all in its state, so he could only continue to drive Spirit Body closer, and finally accommodated "Demoness" into his Spirit Body.

One second, two seconds.

Nothing happened?

Angel was stunned, and she looked at Card of Blasphemy "in her body".

Suddenly, a burst of dark red light gushed out, followed by a real terrifying aura that filled Wall of Spirituality. Angel felt that his Spirit Body was as solid as the body below. Not to mention picking up a card, he could even lift tables and chairs and smash them against doors and windows.

Her Spirit Body appearance has also changed. The slim-fitting trousers that facilitated movement have turned into a black skirt that is not gorgeous, but dignified and elegant. A golden crown inlaid with jewels also appeared on her head, which matched her long pale golden hair very well. Her face was a little hazy, but Deep Purple's eyes penetrated the barrier and fell on the half-length mirror in the room with a hint of surprise.

I feel more charming. Is it an illusion or the effect of the "Demoness" card? "Black Emperor" exudes invisible majesty, but "Demoness" only has good looks?

"Demoness" Angel muttered secretly, trying to use Spirit Body, whose status had been improved and stabilized by Card of Blasphemy, to take various items to test the current strength, and soon discovered various limitations in this state.

"The items that can be lifted are no more than your own weight, which means it is difficult to move with your body, but Mystical Item can be accommodated inside Spirit Body, which can isolate some negative effects and dangerous Aggregation Effect while carrying it... This pair of Card of Blasphemy should not be of much use. We must complete the exploration of Calderon City as soon as possible and re-dedicate the 'Demoness' card to Mr. Fool..."

She chose a moment and transferred the various Charm, "hypocrisy" rings, "Rose Necklace", "Iron-Blooded Knight" characteristics and "Reaper Legion" on her body to the inside of Spirit Body, making the black dress Demoness floating in the air like a clanging exhibit.

As for "Hidden Holy Emblem" and "Wings of Death", Angel was not carried by Spirit Body.

The former can maintain the high Anti-Divination ability on her body, so that when she stays in the hotel, she will not be discovered by the nearby Beyonder and fall into prey without any resistance; the latter has a certain degree of influence on Spirit Body, and Calderon City is the first "Death" Gregrace's Kingdom of God. Will the entry of Mr. Azik's aura be considered a provocation? After all, he has a close relationship with Salinger...

With this in mind, Angel wrapped the pile of Mystical Item, tried to pass through the self-built Wall of Spirituality and the wooden wall of the hotel bedroom, came to the living room, and found that under the protection of Spirit Body, they would not be stuck on the other side.

The feeling became "Wraith"... And according to the experience of Klein, the "Demoness" card should give me more special powers. The Beyonder Characteristic containing "Iron-Blooded Knight" will also allow me to use part of their Beyonder Ability... She tried to let Spirituality spread into the "Iron-Blooded Knight" in her body, and a handful of blue flames were generated at her fingertips.

This temperature could melt any object... She carefully removed the flame, just in time to see another Spirit Body emerge directly from the opposite bedroom and appear in front of her.

He wore a triple crown on his head, with his facial features hidden in the shadow below the crown. He wore a blue-black religious robe, Black Gloves in one hand, and a cane inlaid with silver-white metal in the other. As soon as he entered the living room, an invisible violent and majestic aura hit his face.

"Klein?"

Angel asked. Just as he remembered that he was in the Spirit Body state, he heard a soft and charming female voice coming from his body.

"It's me."

"Tyrant" on the other side replied loudly, his voice sounded like thunder, and then he looked at the hazy face of Angel under the crown, and was stunned.

Compared with Angel, who is more resistant to the abilities of "Demoness", Spirit Body state, which accommodates Card of Blasphemy, has a touch of softness and charm. The red lips without any cosmetics were slightly pursed, and there seemed to be hidden sadness in Deep Purple's eyes. The length of her dignified black skirt reached her ankles, which contrasted with her naked and lively feet, making people want to hug her and never let go.

I am also Spirit Body, so that's okay... After a moment, Klein reacted, broke away from the enhanced charm of "Demoness", and used Spirit Body to speak angrily:

"Are you all ready?"

After Angel's head with the golden crown shook a few times, Klein summoned his two Marionette, and handed the "Death Knell" and "Luck Stealer" Charm contained in the body to "Winner" Enzo, let him and Ludwell, who was holding a rapier in one hand, reach out to touch Spirit Body who turned into "Tyrant", and then let "Demoness" Angel come closer. The two Spirit Body slightly overlapped and accommodated each other.

Finally, the "Creeping Hunger" in his hand became transparent, and he took a total of four people into Spirit World and shuttled towards the target location.

Spirit World does not correspond to the location of Physical World one-to-one, but there are many places that cannot be reached in reality. "City of the Dead" Calderon is one of them. Although it originated from the kingdom of God on earth in reality, "Death" Gregrace, there are even many Believers and his descendants lived there, but before being severely damaged by Ancient Sun God and falling, Gregrace personally threw it into the depths of Spirit World until it was discovered and named by a certain Angel of the Abraham Family, which means "unknown soul" in Words of the Dead.

With the help of the high status and terrifying aura of "Card of Blasphemy", Angel and others successfully traveled through Spirit World and came to a place that was no different from other Spirit World, surrounded by various color blocks and mist. There were many Spirit World Creature wandering around the surrounding area, but after the majestic and terrifying "Tyrant" and the charming "Demoness" arrived, they immediately fled into the distance, not even daring to look here.

Comparing it with the coordinates in his mind, Klein took a moment to distinguish, and then led Angel and the two Marionette into a thin mist. After a period of shaking, the mist in front of Angel suddenly disappeared, and a vast city appeared.

It is surrounded by black mist, with an endless void above its head, and below it are spiraling slopes that gradually spread to the bottom of large and small pits. Buildings of different styles stand on every flat spot. There are basements that are entirely underground with only tombstones left. There are tall pale stone pillars with only one roof door, and there are broken huts built with bones.

The arrangement of these buildings is irregular, as if they were built randomly, but the closer to the entrance of the pit, the more dilapidated the buildings are, and even uprooted, leaving only the foundation. The further down, the more complete they are preserved, as if they are still inhabited.

In the deepest part, the buildings were shrouded in darkness, and even Angel's dark vision, which was enhanced by the Card of Blasphemy, could not see through.

This is the "City of the Dead", Calderon they are looking for.
