What Must Be Killed

Within the ancient castle, a thick, silent Gray Fog flowed.

Bronze Long Table, two indistinct figures stared at each other.

"[World], you must be Klein?"

Without any preamble, Luther went straight to the Door Opening and asked.

"Luther, you're still so direct."

At the end of the Bronze Long Table, a somber figure belonging to [the world] sighed. His originally deep and hoarse voice suddenly became clear, and Luther could vaguely recognize the tone of his former colleague.

"Klein, it really was you."

Luther was not surprised, but also somewhat moved, "Come to think of it, this is the second time I've recognized you."

The first time, he exposed his former colleague's disguise as "Sherlock Moriarty," and also discovered that the other party was his fellow transmigrator from the same hometown.

"Yes."

Klein said.

Although he had guessed this day would come when he warned Luther, he was still somewhat embarrassed when the moment actually arrived.

I hope there won't be a third time, please don't let it happen a third time.

At the same time, he prayed sincerely in his heart.

I don't have many more aliases left. If I reveal any more, he'll discover my connection to the Fool.

"So, when did you join here?"

Luther asked.

"After coming to Backlund."

Klein recalled for a moment and said, "The reason [the World] was able to appear was thanks to Rosago's contribution of the 'All-Black Eye'."

What prompted you to join?

"The guidance of a certain powerful figure."

Klein replied with an excuse he had already prepared.

"So, when I received the divine message from the True Creator, that's why you looked unwell?"

Luther seemed to understand something.

". right."

At this point, Klein felt a little guilty, because the real reason he had been distracted was that he himself was the Fool. "I'm sorry, I didn't tell you about the Fool back then."

"It's alright, I understand."

Luther waved his hand dismissively, "If it were me, I'd probably do the same thing."

The atmosphere above the Gray Fog quieted down for a moment.

"Let's get to know each other again, Mr. [World], hello, I am [Temperance]."

Luther smiled and said to the other party.

Good afternoon, Mr. Temperance.

Klein nodded in response.

"We know each other about this, so there's no need to tell the other members, right?"

"No, there's no need."

After briefly discussing their approach to interacting in the Gray Fog, the two continued to treat each other as strangers.

At this point, they both felt a little relieved.

Luther leaned back slightly and adjusted his posture.

How are you now?

He asked Klein, "When you passed on the message to me before, you seemed to be in a bad situation too."

"Yes, I was also involved in a case related to the Royal Family at the time."

Recalling his ordeal, Klein's tone grew slightly somber. He shared his experiences with Luther, including Prince Edessak and the Demoness Trissy, was silenced by a meteorite after issuing a warning, was rescued by Mr. Azik, but was then stopped by Ince Will.

"Ince Will."

Upon hearing that damned name, Luther's eyes narrowed sharply. "That bastard is cooperating with the Royal Family too?"

This guy is directly involved in Cecilia's death, and Luther has long been determined to take revenge on him. He just didn't expect him to be involved with the Royal Family and the Demoness Sect. Now, he'll settle both old and new scores.

"Yes, he is in the ruins occupied by the Royal Family."

Klein said that his eyes were also blazing with anger when he mentioned this enemy.

"And what about you? What did you experience back then?"

He then asked a question.

"."

Luther was silent for a moment, then said, "My Lamb are all dead. Spirit Channeling killing the Demoness who was the mastermind behind it all, I figured out that the real culprit was the 'dog shit emperor,' and I started preparing to avenge my Lamb and the people of the East Borough. Those guys deserved to die."

Klein sat up straight Consciousness, the coldness in the other person's words making him uneasy.

"So you launched the attack on the last day of the year."

He hesitated before asking, "How did you, a Sequence 5, manage to resist so many High Sequence powerhouses?"

To be honest, Klein was genuinely curious. Luther's strength at that time far exceeded that of a typical Sequence 5; even if he was a powerful Shepherd, it was still beyond comprehension.

"To quickly increase my strength, I 'Grazing a new Lamb."

"What kind of Lamb is so strong?"

"Oh, you know him too?"

Luther answered casually, "It's that Red Angel Evil Spirit."

". ah?"

Klein paused for a moment, as if taking some time to understand, before asking incredulously, "Are you... serious?"

"Yes, if it weren't for Him, I wouldn't have been able to get into the Imperial Palace at all."

Luther Zedao.

"Are you alright now?"

Others might not know, but Klein knew very well. That evil spirit was Angel in life and possessed great power even after death. Moreover, it was filled with malice towards the living, and Luther would definitely face great risks if he Grazing!

"Fortunately, I'm barely staying conscious."

Luther said, "If I let my guard down even slightly, He will try to take over my body."

That sounds terrible.

Klein thought to himself, then quickly came up with a solution, "Mr. Azik specializes in the realm of death, I can write to him and ask if he has any ideas."

Mr. Azik, the equally mysterious High Sequence extraordinary being.

Luther nodded. "Okay, could you please ask for me? However, I have another solution: to advance to Sequence 4 as soon as possible. That evil spirit only has Sequence 4 Characteristic; once I advance my Sequence, I should be able to have stronger control over it."

"I've now left Backlund and arrived at the Sonia Sea. It may take some time to find the Main Ingredient for the Potion."

"Did you go out to sea too?"

Klein exclaimed in surprise, "Perfect timing! I was just about to set sail; maybe we can go together!"

"It's too late, I've already reached Toscarter Island, deep in the Sonia Sea."

Luther smiled and said, "We might bump into each other on my way back."

So fast?

What kind of ship did he travel on? How did he get to Toscarter Island in just a few days?

"Um, okay."

Klein with some regret, "Remember to keep an eye out for any trace of Mermaid."

"These are the Main Ingredient for your Potion?"

"No, I will use them to complete my Advancement Ritual."

Klein was telling the truth.

"Okay, I've got it."

Luther nodded. He remembered that the Queen had once summoned a phantom Mermaid. Perhaps she knew where the Mermaid was, or perhaps she could lend him the Mermaid directly.

"That's settled then. Best of luck with your promotion."

Klein said.

I also wish you a successful promotion.

Luther replied verbatim.

The two men smiled at each other, stood up to thank Mr. Fool, and asked to end the meeting.

A deep red light quickly enveloped them.
