The Dark Demonic Wolf, which was fiercely attacking Reinette Tinekerr, seemed to sense something, slowed its movements, and turned to look at the Wraith that had just appeared.
His pupils, which already occupied two-thirds of his eyes, suddenly dilated, as if he had sensed something familiar yet dangerous.
In an instant, the Wraith raised its arms.
The "power of Wishes " in the surrounding area suddenly dissipated at a faster rate, and divinity began to return, reaching the Sequence 4. From the soil beneath the Dark Demonic Wolf's feet, one pale and illusory arm after another emerged, densely packed like a forest, grabbing Kotar's eight legs and plunging the " Miracle Invoker " into a deathly, icy state, from which he was briefly unable to break free.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Reinette Tinekerr was slightly dazed due to being Manipulation by the " Spirit Body Threads," became ethereal and disappeared from the spot.
Within the dark pupils of the Dark Demonic Wolf, the figure of the messenger, with long golden hair, wearing a somber and elaborate dress, and entwined with eerie vines, suddenly appeared, completing the "possession."
Kotar, the " God of Wishes," suddenly froze, as if he had degenerated from a living being into a puppet.
He attempted to influence Reinette Tinekerr's " Spirit Body Threads " to combat " Wraith Possession," but was repeatedly interrupted by the pale, icy arms created by the other female Wraith, making it difficult to succeed.
Seeing this, Klein, while maintaining the " Spirit Body Threads " in a circle, slowly raised the " Staff of the Stars " and aimed it at the black velvet " Curtain " that had transformed into a cloak.
A scene then formed in his mind.
The surrounding darkness suddenly flowed, as if it contained unimaginable secrets. A few illusory candlelights lit up in this environment, illuminating a long table covered with flesh and blood.
On either side of the long table, three extremely blurry figures were holding pieces of flesh and blood, Devouring them hungrily.
The next second, the three figures turned their heads simultaneously, casting their gazes at the semi-transparent black velvet " Curtain ".
The frenzied suction force emanating from the " Curtain " abruptly ceased, and it hovered in place in the form of a cloak, seemingly forgetting for a moment who it was, which side it belonged to, and what it was supposed to do.
Banquet of Betrayal!
Fairy Tale Magic Banquet of Betrayal!
Klein just used Fairy Tale Magic from " The Hermit " Cattleya, called " Banquet of Betrayal." Its effect is to temporarily awaken or endow the objects in the target's hands with sentience, causing them to perform an act of "betrayal"!
This is an extraordinary ability belonging to the Sequence 4, which is why it could not be used previously due to the suppression of the "Power of Wishes ".
Meanwhile, since the spells recreated by the " Staff of the Stars " were quite different from the originals, and the " Curtain " did not harbor much malice towards the Dark Demonic Wolf, it only appeared confused and did not launch a frenzied attack on its master.
Once Klein was free from the influence of this " Curtain," he immediately snapped his fingers, causing crimson flames to engulf him.
A moment later, his figure, wearing a top silk hat and a long black trench coat, appeared in a cluster of flames next to the Dark Demonic Wolf.
The crimson flames shot upwards, transforming into a stream of fire that allowed Klein to leap easily out.
He then bent slightly, picked up the " Staff of the Stars," and ran wildly towards the enormous Demonic Wolf, which was as big as a small mountain.
Thump thump thump!
Klein ran faster and faster, as if he had turned into a whirlwind, and what greeted him was the Dark Demonic Wolf's two front paws, which it barely managed to lift and break free of their restraints.
Snap! Snap!
Klein swung his black cane to the left and right, hitting Kotar's two front paws accurately, causing them to pause briefly.
At the same time, he lowered his body, glided over the two front paws, and landed beneath the Dark Demonic Wolf.
Amidst the howling wind, Klein twisted in mid-air and thrust the " Staff of the Stars " upwards.
With a soft "plop," the black staff, inlaid with various gems, pierced through the skin covered in dark, short fur, penetrating deep into the Dark Demonic Wolf's body and forcibly dragging out an exaggerated wound.
Whoosh!
Deep black and reddish blood gushed out like a burst dam, spraying towards Klein with the intense corrosive power of a Mythical Creature.
But at this moment, Klein had already flown backward out of the space beneath the Dark Demonic Wolf, preparing to launch a second wave of attacks.
Suddenly, he heard a broken roar.
This comes from Kotar Dark Demonic Wolf is " Wraith Possession " and has difficulty moving, and it implies:
"Leo... Audrey... Rod!"
... Klein's gaze froze instantly, and the image of the Dark Demonic Wolf's mocking smile seemed to appear in his mind.
He wasn't the only one who could draw upon those remaining divine powers; he could, and so could the Dark Demonic Wolf Kotar!
Even if this " Miracle Invoker " didn't know beforehand that " Angel of Wind " Leodero had become the " Lord of Storms," he naturally knew what to do after Klein's demonstration.
Anyone can do simple imitation.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The streaks of silvery-white lightning, like torrents gushing from a water pipe, poured side by side and overlapped onto the ruins of the ancient castle, completely engulfing all the figures.
Before Klein could react, after hearing the first half of the word, he used his " Clown " ability to forcefully twist his body, push off with his right foot, and return to the base of the Dark Demonic Wolf Reinette Tinekerr then jumped onto the gold coins in his pocket.
Immediately afterwards, Klein knelt down and planted the " Staff of the Stars " into the ground.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A mighty Storm tore apart everything it encountered along the way.
When the magnificent and terrifying lightning forest dissipated, the ancient castle belonging to the Dark Demonic Wolf was no longer even a ruin; not a trace of it remained, only a charred pit.
Inside the deep pit, paper figures were blown away and turned to ashes.
Silently, a patch of soil shimmering with the light of stained glass softened, and Klein's scorched hand emerged.
Despite the Dark Demonic Wolf taking most of the damage, he managed to survive by using " Paper Figurine Substitute " and " Underground Worm," though he could still faintly smell the aroma of roasted meat emanating from his body.
Back on the ground, Klein, his clothes tattered, took in the entire battlefield scene:
The remains of the Dark Demonic Wolf were scattered everywhere, their flesh charred and lifeless;
The " Curtain " was curled up in a ball, lying motionless on the edge of the pit;
The power of " Wishes " was completely emptied, and divinity returned fully to this area;
The " Wraith " that had established a connection with the Artificial Death has been destroyed...
Any other Beyonder might simply think that the Dark Demonic Wolf ultimately chose to die together, but as Demigod of the " Seer " path, Klein, who had already enjoyed the treatment of a " Miracle Invoker," had a different thought flash through his mind:
What is a miracle? To come back from the dead is a miracle!
"Seeing the situation was not good, the Dark Demonic Wolf did not hesitate to trigger divine punishment, attempting to kill everyone together, so that it could be resurrected somewhere nearby!"
"I almost used up my last resurrection..."
Klein had a plan for this. He would immediately use a talisman engraved with the " The Fool " pattern to pray to Mr. " The Fool " in front of the messenger lady. Then, with the help of the "Summoning" that had not disappeared from the " Sefirah Castle ", he would enter the Gray Fog with just a thought. He would use the " Spirit Vision " brought by the prayer light to examine his surroundings and search for the resurrected Dark Demonic Wolf.
At that moment, Reinette Tinekerr, having removed the gold coins from Klein's pocket, appeared beside the curled-up " Curtain " and said in a slightly unsteady voice:
It possesses the Beyonder Characteristic of a ' Miracle Invoker '.
" Miracle Invoker " Beyonder Characteristic? That makes sense. The Dark Demonic Wolf possesses one of the six " Miracle Invoker " traits when the " Attendant of Mysteries " trait is at its maximum. Normally, the remaining " Attendant of Mysteries " Beyonder Characteristic would also correspond to one " Miracle Invoker " Beyonder Characteristic... As the messenger spoke, Klein's Spirituality intuition also sensed it, confirming the other party's judgment, and recalling the answer given by " Snake of Fate " Will Auceptin.
There should be a total of nine " Miracle Invoker " Beyonder Characteristic, but with the " Attendant of Mysteries " trait fully available, the three Sequence 1 will each occupy one Sequence 2, leaving only six " Miracle Invoker " traits, which belong to Zaratul, Antigonus, " Wishing Lamp ", " The Theater That Never Closes ", " The Last Supper ", and Dark Demonic Wolf.
Klein originally hoped to obtain the Dark Demonic Wolf piece, but he didn't expect that the " Curtain " not only had a Sequence 1 " Attendant of Mysteries " trait, but also a Sequence 2 " Miracle Invoker " trait, which was the one that had gone missing before.
"It seems the reason for its disappearance was also that it was swallowed by the Gray Fog, and only later spat it out... Should we still search for the resurrected Dark Demonic Wolf? No, the ' True Creator ' and Amon could arrive at any time, and besides, I've already exhausted most of my preparations, while the Dark Demonic Wolf is still in perfect condition, able to make wishes, summon, and create miracles... Anyway, the goal has been achieved..." With these thoughts racing, Klein raised his head and said to the messenger:
"I'll take this ' Curtain ' away."
He abandoned his plan to chase the Dark Demonic Wolf and instead intended to take control of the " Curtain " while it was in a weakened state.
Reinette Tinekerr nodded slightly, then turned her head to look at the charred remains of the Dark Demonic Wolf.
The remains suddenly emitted a faint light, transforming into white rabbits or goats, all of them with a rich, meaty aroma.
In a Concealment spot nearby, the body of the Dark Demonic Wolf Kotar, covered in dark, short fur, rapidly materialized.
He abandoned the original corpse, immediately made a wish to himself, and responded to it, transferring to a distant place. Then, he ran away without looking back.
This " God of Wishes " didn't even consider the loss of the " Curtain." He didn't choose to resurrect on the spot because he hoped to use the " Curtain " to hold back the guy who was closely related to " Evernight," thus buying himself more time to escape.
The reason Kotar has survived from the Second Age to the present day is that he follows his heart's desires and never Greed when Greed.
With a flash of light, the Demonic Wolf with gray-white fur on its forehead vanished into the depths of darkness.
Klein didn't stop the messenger from venting her anger. As she approached the " Curtain," she thought to herself:
"An Angel is really hard to kill, especially one through the ' Seer ' pathway!"
As Klein was about to drag his past self out and make him pick up that " Curtain," he suddenly felt a familiar presence descend upon him.
The aura was dark, filthy, and full of Depravity, immediately reminding Klein of the " True Creator "!
The " Curtain " suddenly rose up and transformed into a cloak once more.
Within the cloak, deep darkness swirled, emitting a buzzing sound.
" Mysteries."
