Frost Mist quickly condensed into ice cubes, which fell overwhelmingly, hailing most of the Calderon City built on the Leaky Sinkhole cliff from top to bottom.

Although this sudden extreme weather is not as good as "Sailor" Pathway Demigod's ability to control hurricanes and heavy rains, it is enough to control any attempt within the range. The burning flame was extinguished in an instant. "Spirit World Marauder" ignited the pale flame in vain, trying to get into it and flash away, but failed repeatedly. Instead, it was staggered by the hail and almost fell from the air.

Wow, a silvery-white lightning burst out not far away, taking a strange path in the humid and foggy air, and struck on the white robe of "Spirit World Marauder". The electric light enhanced by the environment swept across the body of the dead soul, electrifying it until it squeaked and smoked, and fell headfirst.

Klein, who was holding the "Word of the Sea" cane, had the vision of "Spirit Body Threads" in his eyes. He stared closely at the black line that represented his today's goal and found that it did not have much damage. Instead, it continuously adjusted during the fall and got into a cube building with multiple windows but no door.

Oops, it can Flaming Jump in a room after isolating hail and cold air from the outside world!

Klein secretly said something bad, the triple crown on his head lit up with electric light, and a handful of light blue water droplets emerged from the tip of "Word of the Sea". They immediately turned into huge water balloons, quickly flew towards the house, got into it along the window, and exploded the water mist that could be seen outside.

But Klein's heart sank a little bit, and the group of Spirit Body Threads that belonged to "Spirit World Marauder" in his eyes had disappeared.

According to its use of "Flaming Jump" just now, the jump landing point should not exceed three hundred meters. It must choose the farthest buildings to avoid the cold air from the outside world, and then make the next jump... Thoughts running quickly, Klein's eyes scanned the buildings that may contain "Spirit World Marauder", but within his observation range of Spirit Body Threads, there was no longer any black line.

It escaped...

Klein's expression hidden under the crown was slightly dull. His hand was still holding "Word of the Sea", and he didn't know whether to put it down for a moment.

Judging from the opponent's decisive escape behavior, "Spirit World Marauder" is indeed as he suspected, with strength between Sequence 4 and Sequence 5. Maybe there is a trace of divinity, or there is an incomplete Mythical Creature Form, but against Klein who was also close to Sequence 4 after being strengthened by "Tyrant", and Angel who actually crossed this threshold, there was no chance of winning.

So it doesn't matter if it escapes this time, as long as you can find traces of it or its kind in Calderon again, you can easily kill it.

The problem is that "Spirit World Marauder" obviously has a lot of intelligence, and even laid a bait to let me and my Marionette focus on the anvil giant, ignoring that it sneaked up on me and controlled my Spirit Body Threads, and such an enemy fled back to the depths of Calderon to accuse me to other similar people. After their actions, all "Spirit World Marauder" may escape from this City of the Dead and find other habitats. In that case, finding a new one will be far away... Klein thought with some frustration, looking quietly at Angel who had made no other moves after spreading coldness over a large area.

The latter has emerged from the invisibility state. The black skirt is swaying in the cold wind, and the white skin under the skirt is looming. The purple eyes hidden under the golden crown have turned almost black, and they are staring at a building below.

Um?

If Klein realized something, he looked over there along Angel's line of sight, and happened to find a black flame exploding from the top of the pale square stone pillar-like building.

That Black Flame was still clearly visible in the cold wind and hail, with illusory black lines flashing out of it, extending to infinity, but they continued to shrink and curl up in Klein's field of vision, and finally disappeared into Black Flame.

"After being discovered by me, it will be impossible to avoid my Black Flame Curse, and Hanbing has created too many 'mirrors' in this city that can be used by me..."

"Demoness" Angel who floated next to him at some point explained calmly.

So it can still be like this... Klein silently put away "Word of the Sea" and slowly fell to the building below. In the process of directing Marionette to explore, he also discovered the power of Calderon City to transform living beings into dead souls. Therefore, he carefully did not approach the central area of the city, but got into the building where Black Flame was gradually dispersing. After a while, he floated away. His body already contained a group of foam that was constantly being generated and broken.

That was the remains of Beyonder Ingredients that had not been separated out after the death of "Spirit World Marauder".

"Bang——"

There was a loud noise on the ramp above his head. "Winner" Enzo and "Hell Admiral" Ludwell cooperated with each other and shot the man who had joined forces with "Spirit World Marauder" to deal with the intruder with one shot. The giant's chest was blasted across the chest. The huge lethality of "Death Knell" could not even be withstood by the four-meter-tall dead giant. It staggered to the ground and was stabbed by Ludwell's "Harris Rapier", and the figure gradually turned into nothingness.

"It seems that your 'Marionettist' Potion is about to be completely digested? You can actually maintain control over them during the battle."

Angel is hovering in the air not far from Klein and his Marionette, and an elegant voice comes from the black dress Spirit Body cast by the "Demoness" brand.

"It feels a little bit worse. Maybe we need to stage a drama with Marionette as the protagonist in front of many Spectator, just like Ludwell and Enzo just did, in order to get enough feedback..."

Klein murmured and floated to the place where the Anvil Giant died. He found that the corpse had disappeared and no useful things were left behind. He stayed next to the two Marionette, drained the squirming foam from the translucent "Tyrant" body, and watched it float in the air regardless of gravity, like a soap bubble that was about to evaporate.

"What's next? A 'Spirit World Marauder' should be able to provide enough souls, right? Do you want to go deeper into the city to search?"

Angel also came over, curiously staring at the body of "Spirit World Marauder" that was wrapped in a white robe just now, but now only the size of a palm, and asked.

"According to experience, Main Materials of Potion should not need multiple Beyonder Creature to provide it together, and I suspect that after the battle just now, all the 'Spirit World Marauder' who owned Wisdom have already run away..."

Klein explained, came to the edge of the pit and looked down.

The city in the depths is still as it was when the two first arrived, with the buildings intact and unaffected by thousands of years of time. There is no movement outside the buildings and on the streets, as if the entire city has been abandoned.

Of course, after Spirit Body Threads was controlled by "Spirit World Marauder" just now, Klein was still frightened by the scenes of countless dead souls emerging from everywhere. He believed that the same situation existed in every corner of the city, but they were frightened by the fighting power of the two, so they would only hide obediently and would not try to "charge" a second time.

"Then explore the periphery and wait for the extraordinary power of 'Spirit World Marauder' to be released before leaving here?"

Angel is still somewhat interested in the "door" symbol he just saw, and is going to take Klein, an "archaeological college student," to take a look.

"Yes, but it's best not to go deep into the area below. You should also notice that this city is gradually turning us into undead souls. Although it is only a change on Spirit Body, it may be reflected on the body if it takes too long..." Klein saw the ball of "soap bubbles" still churning, nodded and said, "Also, when I was testing Ludwell's 'Underworld Gate' just now, I saw some unusual sights."

Klein summoned "Hell Admiral" who was standing aside, asked him to face the open space, stretched out his left hand, opened his palm, and summoned a vague and illusory double Bronze Gate.

This ability Angel that belongs exclusively to "Gatekeeper" has been seen in God War Ruins. Countless bloody arms and faces with open mouths will appear in it, absorbing all Spirit Body and creatures outside the door, crushing them with the power of death.

But in Calderon, in this "City of the Dead", in Bronze Gate with a crack in the door, there is the deepest darkness, with pale waves rolling up in it, like a river rushing in a lightless night.

Huge stone pillars stand on the riverbanks on both sides, reminding Angel of those pale columnar buildings deep in Calderon City.

What's this? Doesn't Underworld Gate lead to Underworld? Is this the so-called River Styx? No, is there such a saying in this world... Countless questions appeared in Angel's mind, and he suddenly discovered that Bronze Gate illusory figures appeared behind the gaps. Some of them were humanoid, and some were indescribable. The only thing they had in common was that they all rushed towards the cracks in the door, crowded into the cracks, and tried to escape from behind the door.

Bang——

Klein, who had been prepared for a long time, let Ludwell tighten his left hand and closed the door Underworld Gate.

"I suspect that in the Kingdom of God that originally belonged to 'Death' Gregrace, 'Underworld Gate' does not point to Underworld in the general sense, but to the deepest part of the city. Even with this door across the way, I feel that the river and the dead souls are extremely terrifying, let alone directly close to the city center..."

Klein pursed his lips and did not continue to talk, but Angel also felt the caution, nodded, and stopped mentioning the matter of exploring the depths.

But as Bronze Gate in the air shrank, disappeared into the void, and deep in the open pit where Calderon was, a violent vibration suddenly erupted.

The palpitating feeling immediately infected Angel. She looked down along the edge of the ramp, and was surprised to find that this palpitating and fearful feeling had solidified into an illusory, transparent gray-white mist, which was continuously pouring out from the bottom of the pit.

They passed through various types of buildings, passed through deserted streets, and quickly surged toward the outskirts of the city above.

"Get ready to leave. Can you just accommodate the body of 'Spirit World Marauder'?"

It is difficult to judge whether this tidal rising mist is a harmless natural phenomenon or a sign before the emergence of some powerful creature. Angel said quickly while looking at Klein beside him.

The latter did not answer, but looked up blankly.

The end of his gaze was the entrance where the two entered this area from Spirit World. In the thin mist, a figure flashed with gray light and appeared in front of the two.

He was wearing a simple linen robe, with long silver hair hanging down to his vest. He had a beautiful appearance, soft facial features, but a somewhat indifferent expression. His eyes with the same color as his hair quickly scanned the entire "City of the Dead" and then locked on Angel and Klein.

Immediately afterwards, silver-white rays of light spread out behind him, and they quickly covered the only entrance leaving Calderon, turning into pairs of pure wings.

At the same time, Angel also recognized this uninvited guest.

That is the character that appears on many murals in Forsaken Land of the Gods and God War Ruins. It is one of the eight King of Angel of Creator. It is the opponent of "Snake of Fate" Will Auceptin who is somewhat disdainful and somewhat fearful.

"Angel of fate" Ouroboros!
