Klein pretended not to notice that he was in a real dream. While stopping the self-projection of the " Death Consul ", he tried to summon a "self" from the Historical Void to deceive the guardian of the Tudor ruins, so that the real body could quietly get out of the dream, sneak into the secret tomb, and complete the destruction.
He can currently only maintain images from three Historical Void: " Death Consul " Azik Eggers is one, his Concealment state is another, and it's uncertain whether the Ascetic Leader Arianna counts as one. To be on the safe side, Klein can only disperse one of them before summoning it again.
Regarding Arianna's condition, besides suspecting it was a real person's arrival, Klein had another guess: that the abbess of the Evernight Abbey, after sensing the summoning of her past image in the Amanda Mountain Range, deliberately entered a state of Concealment, disappearing from the real world and allowing the projection to gain consciousness. This was a perfectly feasible operation, especially since those in the " Concealment " realm would likely have a certain degree of control over their own image within the Historical Void.
As for this Concealment Angel, Klein was unable to confirm His true situation through the feedback from the " Scholar of Yore " who maintained the Historical Projection, so he had no choice but to leave Him unchanged to prevent any accidents.
Just as Klein was about to summon his past self, the real dream he was in vanished without a trace, and everything around him returned to normal.
He was on the cliff face at the entrance, below which stood a towering, dark, and majestic mausoleum.
An unremarkable old man floated in mid-air, bathed in the faint light emanating from the moss beneath the ground and illuminated by the lamps from the stone pillars inside the cliff face. He calmly looked at Klein and sighed, speaking in Ancient Feysac:
"You weren't fooled by the dream I wove."
The old man's hair was completely white, but thick enough. He didn't have many wrinkles on his face, and his appearance was unremarkable.
The " Dreamweaver " of Sequence 3 of the " Spectator " pathway? No, at least an Angel... Klein's mind tightened. Without responding, he immediately took out his silver-white Adventurer Harmonica, brought it to his lips, and blew on it.
No sound came out, but Reinette Tinekerr, dressed in a somber and elaborate long dress, stepped out from beside Klein.
One of the blond, red-eyed heads He was carrying immediately spat out a rectangular, diamond-like talisman, while the other head chanted in Ancient Hermes:
"Yesterday!"
Yesterday Once More!
This messenger lady wants to borrow power from her past self!
Compared to the " Snake of Fate " in Sequence 1, the power He borrows can last longer.
However, the talisman remained unchanged.
Floating in mid-air, the old man in a greyish-white robe chuckled softly and kindly reminded him:
"Do not use Ancient Hermes in front of me."
... Hermes... is this the Hermes who survived the Second Age and created the Ancient Hermes? The Angel of the " Spectator " pathway... the source of the Psychology Alchemists... Klein was initially startled, but then realized something was amiss:
Hermes's desire to participate in the battle wasn't particularly strong!
No, perhaps it was a deliberate act by Him, to lull us into a false sense of security... Beyonder of the " Spectator " pathway are masters of manipulating hearts and minds... The thought had barely crossed Klein's mind when Reinette Tinekerr's other two heads began chanting in Jotun and Elvish respectively:
"Yesterday!"
The rectangular, diamond-like rune was instantly ignited by transparent flames and merged into the void.
Reinette Tinekerr's body began to expand rapidly, and the four heads in her hands flew up simultaneously, landing on His neck.
The four heads successively became illusory, overlapping into one.
In an instant, Reinette Tinekerr transformed into a gigantic rag doll, resembling a castle, dressed in a black gothic gown adorned with countless mysterious symbols and entwined with eerie vines, her eyes bloodshot.
His gaze swept over Hermes from ancient times, his tightly closed mouth opened, but no sound came out.
The Angel who had been passing through as an " Spectator " suddenly flashed with a faint light and transformed into a plump, white rabbit.
" Ancient Bane ", " Polymorph Curse "!
The rabbit wasn't alarmed at all. Its body began to swell, growing to the size of half a mountain peak, enough to crush Klein with a single stomp.
For Angel who are " Spectator," I believe that if I am strong enough, I will be strong enough and will not be constrained by my external image!
As the rabbit transforms into Monster, subtle changes are discovered within the ruins, blurring the lines between reality and illusion, leaving Reinette Tinekerr somewhat unable to distinguish between dream and reality.
Klein was able to distinguish and notice that not only was the messenger in Mythical Creature state, but the rabbit's body was also covered with grayish-white scales, with various patterns interwoven to form three-dimensional symbols that seemed to connect with the soul.
Angel are truly terrifying, starting with a complete Mythical Creature Form... Klein was amazed, but he didn't even dare to look too closely or peek at the knowledge. Firstly, there wasn't enough time, and secondly, his rank wasn't high enough. Seeing a complete Mythical Creature Form would inevitably affect him and give him a negative status, which was something he had to avoid in the dangerous battlefield.
While the messenger was fighting the Dragon- transformed rabbit, Klein used the strong winds to descend towards the secret mausoleum, silently reciting a certain name in the Jotun and reaching out to grab at the air.
The first time, it failed; the second time, it failed; the third time, it failed again!
Just as one plump white rabbit after another appeared on Klein's mental island, forcing him to raise his consciousness and fight back, leaving him unable to think any further, his instinctively outstretched right hand finally touched an image in the Historical Void.
As he pulled his arm back, the image quickly emerged: she was a woman, wearing a dark robe and a wide hood, with a beautiful face and slightly dull, dark eyes.
This is the Concealment Angel of the Church of Evernight that Klein once encountered.
Later, in the Foggy Town, he learned that she was the " Mother of the Sky " of the " Nation of Evernight," the daughter of the ancient god Flegrea, and suspected that she had become the vessel for the goddess's descent.
Since the Historical Void image of Arianna, the leader of the Ascetic, could be summoned successfully on the first try, Klein will definitely try to summon her as well.
He had been chanting the name of the " Evernight Goddess "!
Scholar of Yore faced an insurmountable limitation when using images from Historical Void: they could not summon anything involving " Uniqueness." However, for such "divine vessels," it depended on how much divine power the corresponding Historical Void image carried and whether it involved " Uniqueness." Similarly, if one wanted to summon Amon, the original body was not possible, but a clone could.
To be on the safe side, Klein summoned the one who had smiled at him during the Great Smog of Backlund, and succeeded on his third try!
Of course, Klein believed that without the goddess's tacit approval, or even some assistance, he would not have been able to succeed even if he summoned her a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand times.
The beautiful woman didn't look at the " Scholar of Yore " who had summoned her; instead, she turned her head and looked down at the secret mausoleum.
The entire underground ruins suddenly trembled, and the deep, dark, majestic mausoleum began to shake and ripple, as if it were about to be moved into a Concealment world.
Just then, two arms reached in from the outside, one pressing down on the gigantic rag doll Reinette Tinekerr, and the other spreading its five fingers to grab Klein.
Both arms are over ten meters long, with a pitch-black surface covered in a sticky liquid. They have strange protrusions, some resembling skulls, others three-dimensional eyes, and still others tongues with barbs.
" God's Abomination," Suah!
The few remaining guards inside the underground ruins went completely mad, some wielding swords to kill their comrades, others raising their guns, aiming at themselves, and pulling the trigger.
Klein's skin began to crack, and his consciousness was overwhelmed by a kind of crazy feeling, making it impossible for him to respond effectively.
The Concealment Angel he summoned, following its instincts, withdrew its gaze and looked up at the two arms that seemed to come from the depths of a nightmare.
Overwhelmed by fear, " God's Abomination " Suah's arm trembled slightly, failing to catch Klein and allowing Reinette Tinekerr to curse him, causing him to grow short green hairs.
Then, they began to fade, struggling to break free of their Concealment state.
At this moment, three figures appeared in mid-air above this underground ruin: Emperor Roselle, William Augustus I, the first king of Loen, and an abstract Angel composed of pure light.
The Historical Void images summoned by Zaratul have caught up!
The mere presence of so many Angel descending upon this place caused the entire space to tremble, not to mention the fierce battle they were engaged in.
Suddenly, the dark mausoleum shook even more violently, and faint cracks even appeared on its surface.
Klein was not surprised at all, because this was exactly his final plan:
When the enemy is too strong and well-prepared to create an opportunity to destroy the mausoleum, lure everyone together and create chaos!
This was the Spirit Intuition Klein received from that encounter outside Bayam City.
At that time, the " God's Abomination " Suah and the byproduct of the " Artificial Death " intervened remotely, with the participation of " Sea King " Kottman, Messenger Lady Reinette Tinekerr, and a Demigod from the Rose School of Thought. As a result, an innocent mountain collapsed.
At this moment, Klein wanted to make the secret mausoleum within this ruin as majestic as the mountain peak.
He simply didn't believe that Angel could control themselves and not damage their surroundings when the battle got intense!
And this time the lineup is far superior to the original!
Not enough... Let's make it even more chaotic... While controlling his " Spirit Body Threads " to prevent them from floating upwards, Klein dodged and sensed the mysterious space above the Gray Fog, making it tremble slightly with his initial understanding.
In mid-air, a grayish-white mist appeared, and the magnificent palace was faintly visible.
" Sefirah Castle!"
In an instant, the sky above the Saint Samuel Cathedral in Backlund City darkened, as if Storm was brewing.
A bird with black eye rings, which was gazing down the Tussock River, changed the direction of its gaze.
Inside the " No. 1 Ruins " outside Backlund, the Witch Trissy has been Deprivation of several of her abilities and is severely injured, on the verge of death.
Bang!
She crashed into the cliff face, almost embedding herself in it, her body covered in blood.
At this moment, she took out an item, a rectangular diamond-shaped talisman.
" Yesterday Once More!"
