The blinding Pure White Ray pierced directly through the glass window and landed on " Warlock King " Calamity.

It then burst forth with intense light, dissolving all that was undead, dark, and evil.

Calamity's figure suddenly burst into white flames, like a paper figure approaching a burning coal.

It was indeed a paper figure, as if it had been formed from crimson Moonlight.

The " Warlock King's " Substitute Technique: The Moon Paper Figurine!

As the paper figures turned to ashes, the ancient " Warlock King " appeared atop the church spire, casting his cold gaze upon Emlyn White near the bell tower.

Just then, Calamity's blood-red eyes reflected the figure of Sharron, who was wearing a black court dress and a small soft hat. His body stiffened instantly, as if he had lost control of himself.

Seeing this, Emlyn did not hesitate. As if he had practiced it a thousand times, he aimed " Pure White Gaze " at the " Warlock King's" left chest, preparing to activate the " Spear of Unshadowed " of the " The Sun " domain.

If the attack hits Calamity's heart, the " Warlock King " will not be able to neutralize it with " Moonlight Transformation," nor will he be able to heal himself through the super-strong regenerative abilities of artificial Vampire.

Of course, this will definitely cause Sharron, who is "possessed" by Calamity, serious damage, but she is willing to pay the corresponding price if it can quickly eliminate the target.

In previous communications, Emlyn, Sharron, Maric had discussed several similar proposals and reached a consensus.

This is also why Sharron didn't try to restrain " Warlock King " Calamity by affecting his clothing. Compared to " Wraith Possession," this is easier to counter for an opponent who can " Moonlight Transformation." As for whether Calamity would feel ashamed for running around naked, the " Magic Mirror " says no.

Given these and similar circumstances, they ultimately chose to have Emlyn White raid the target in order to deplete his " The Moon Paper Figurine " and create an opportunity for Sharron to "possess" him.

As the transparent glass sphere in Emlyn's hand once again gathered its brilliance, extending into a long spear that was pure to the extreme and incandescent white, Calamity, who was standing frozen at the top of the church spire, suddenly changed.

A crack appeared rapidly in the center of his forehead, revealing what looked like a blood-red Full Moon embedded within it.

A surge of Moonlight flooded out, causing Sharron's ethereal figure—with her pale gold hair and light blue eyes—to Levitation uncontrollably away from Calamity's body.

Calamity's stiff and sluggish movements barely returned to normal. In the radiance of the Full Moon, he transformed into a blood-red mass, splitting into countless fragments of light.

His figure swiftly Reorganization at another spire of the church, with Sharron's phantom, dressed in a black court dress, close behind him. Meanwhile, Emlyn's " Spear of Unshadowed " passed through Calamity's original position and flew into the distance, expanding in mid-air into a miniature the Sun.

The entire port city was suddenly illuminated.

At the same time, a noticeable wriggling sensation appeared on Calamity's right shoulder; something tore through his black robe and emerged.

This is an exquisitely crafted male Puppet, only the size of a palm, dressed in a dark red suit with gold trim. Its eyes have been gouged out, leaving only two black holes.

The Puppet sits on Calamity's shoulder, its hands raised, its ten fingers pressing down as if playing an invisible instrument.

Sharron was instantly thrown away from Calamity's back, seemingly experiencing severe rejection.

Emlyn felt his clothes suddenly tighten, binding him firmly.

His bow tie also came to life, trying to strangle him in mid-air.

That Puppet was a Level 1 Sealed Artifact given to Calamity by the Rose School of Thought. It was called " The Pupil-less General " and was an item formed after a Sequence 4 Demigod from the " Mutant " pathway died unexpectedly.

It possesses the characteristic of being alive, and can possess sentient beings and awaken inanimate objects according to the owner's wishes. However, it must be fed by the owner's own flesh and blood, otherwise it will gradually grow eyes.

Once the Sealed Artifact is intact, it will transform into Evil Spirit relentlessly hunts down its original owner and hates all humans.

As Emlyn heard his bones creak under the strain, the " Pure White Gaze " that had been burning his soul shone with a clear light, transforming the surrounding area into a dark realm free of shadows and evil.

The influence of the " Pupil-less General " on his clothing then ceased.

But at this moment, Calamity mumbled a word, a cruel smile on his face, and stretched out his hands, conjuring up a hazy, illusory door engraved with many mysterious symbols.

This is the " Door of Summoning "!

Sequence 3 of the " The Moon " pathway is called " Summoning Master "!

Calamity was originally only at the " Warlock King " level, actually completed the "summoning" under the illumination of the "blood-red Full Moon " on his forehead!

However, his overall demeanor also changed as a result; he lost much of his rationality and became more irrational.

Amidst the illusory creaking sound, the " Door of Summoning " opened a crack.

Two human hands emerged from the crevice, their skin dull and lacking texture, like the cheapest rag dolls.

Outside the city of Winter County, the Rose School of Thought followers and their vassals, who had originally planned to follow the Living Corpse to attack the Loen army's defenses, were frantically killing each other, devoid of any reason.

Originally ordinary people, some of them had bent backs, grown gray-black wolf fur, and their mouths were wide open, constantly dripping sticky saliva. Some had skin stained black and hardened like steel. Some had lost their hearts and collapsed to the ground, yet got up without any apparent harm. Some had bodies that became transparent and ethereal, as if they had turned into Specter...

The " God's Abomination " Suah merely descended, yet it corrupted the surrounding creatures, causing them to either collapse and die tragically, or transform into Werewolf, Living Corpse, and other extraordinary beings.

As a high-ranking being of Sequence 1, He can directly bestow power upon believers, but this is limited by time, and this method may not be what the rebels desire.

On the other side of the battlefield, more than two kilometers away, behind the Loen fortifications, the soldiers, though they saw and heard nothing, still had transparent blisters forming on their skin, their minds filled with thoughts of venting all sorts of emotions and desires.

Before long, they will go mad one by one, turning into mindless beasts, and there will be very few humans left in the entire position, and even in the city of Winter County.

Suddenly, they heard chanting.

It was a chant composed of one pure and ethereal voice after another.

The chanting, coming from the city's Evernight church, sounded as if multiple choirs were praising the goddess.

Soldiers, civilians, and officers all fell asleep one after another, behind the fortifications, in the trenches, and beside the streets.

They dreamt of a tranquil darkness, of the Moon and clusters of night-blooming jasmine, and their bodies and minds were at peace, no longer susceptible to the corruption of evil.

Inside the Evernight Church in the city of Winter County, Ilya, the " Nighthawks Watcher" and " Eye of the Goddess," struggles to maintain the dream that envelops the entire city, powerless to intervene in the Demigod- level battle outside.

Klein and Reinette Tinekerr simultaneously sensed a shift in the Spirituality around them, as if it were transforming into layers of barriers, attempting to bind them to their positions and restrict their movements.

From the crimson mud on the chest and abdomen of the " Warlock King," after Suah's arm fully extended, a writhing mass of flesh covered in black, viscous liquid emerged, forming the body of this " God's Abomination."

He was like a giant tree that had been doused with oil, its outstretched branches supported by numerous arms that protruded with one strange thing after another.

On the surface of the viscous black liquid atop the "tree trunk," countless bloodshot black and white eyes rolled about, instantly emptying the rationality of onlookers and turning them into rabbits, goats, and fat pigs.

Dozens, even hundreds, of arms rapidly extended outwards, some blocking the sky, some burrowing into the earth, some surrounding from all directions, and some directly grabbing at Klein and Reinette Tinekerr.

At the same time, the " God's Abomination " Suah let out a roar that pierced the spirit, causing both targets to tremble and stiffen, making the crimson Moonlight in the air even thicker, and presenting a scene on the red " Curtain ".

At the heart of the scene was a mummy wrapped in yellowed bandages, suspended in mid-air, pierced by countless brown branches.

Its belly was swollen high, with a certain spot sometimes protruding and sometimes deflated, as if it were nurturing new life.

The mummy's mouth opened and closed, screaming incessantly. Although Klein couldn't hear any tangible sound, a kind of pain resonated within his body and soul, gradually making him bear the burden of the mummy's fate.

" The Chained God!"

The roar of " God's Abomination " Suah just now was composed of Ancient Hermes superimposed in a way that defied human imagination. In essence, it was a prayer to the " Chained God," and He successfully received a response!

The " Mother Tree of Desire " cannot yet penetrate too much of reality. To pray to Her and receive feedback from the Angel level, a large-scale ritual is required. Of course, there is a certain difference and essential gap between the direct influence exerted by the " Mother Tree of Desire " and the gaze given by Her through the " Chained God ".

The " Chained God " was not originally a true god, but rather Angel King who contained the " Uniqueness " of the " Mutant " pathway and two Sequence 1 Beyonder Characteristic. After giving birth to the " God's Abomination " Suah, He even lost one of the Sequence 1 Beyonder Characteristic. When He was completely corrupted by the " Mother Tree of Desire," He also suffered the Fate of isolation.

Therefore, regardless of the true nature of the " Mother Tree of Desire," its impact on reality after going through such a roundabout way is limited. But in any case, this trap set for Reinette Tinekerr is quite elaborate!

As the projection of the " Chained God " appeared, the entire land was stained a dark red color. Klein suddenly realized that his connection with the Spirit World had been severed, and he could no longer leave using " Teleportation ".

His figure leaped through the flames in an instant, taking advantage of Reinette Tinekerr's battle against the " God's Abomination " Suah, he reached into the void and grabbed at different points.

Finally, Klein pulled out a silver and black jewelry box inlaid with various gemstones, and then, without hesitation, opened its second compartment.

" The Box of the Great Old One "!

The second layer of this "0" level Sealed Artifact can transfer all living beings within its range to a scene it Record!
