While seemingly urging him on, Klein actually threw the " Staff of Life " down the grand staircase towards Lovia, asking her to heal him and Colin Iliad's injuries.
--As the former " Rose Bishop ", Lovia is the least afraid of the negative effects of the " Staff of Life ". No matter what kind of changes occur in her body, as long as it does not involve the spirit, she can recover.
At the same time, Derrick ran quickly to the collapsed battlefield in the middle of the steps and picked up the chief's severed arm.
As long as the severed limb is not lost, the " Staff of Life " can restore the injury to its original state!
Klein gave Colin Iliad an exaggerated smile and nodded, then leaped into the Fog of History, rushing to the beginning of the First Age and hiding in a fragment of light.
Then, on a whim, he returned to " Sefirah Castle," sat in the position belonging to " The Fool," and, with the help of the crimson star that corresponded to " The Sun " and was constantly contracting and expanding, began to examine the interior of the Giant King's residence.
However, in " Spirit Vision," it was completely dark inside, with a faint tremor, and impossible to see through.
As expected of the Left Hand of God, the Heaven's Deputy, and the Angel King suspected of being related to the " Chaos Sea "... Klein sighed silently, his brows furrowing slightly.
He now doubted that even if the little " The Sun " entered that palace and prayed inside, he would still find it difficult to see through the darkness and understand the specific situation, unless he became Angel and truly controlled the " Sefirah Castle ".
In addition, Klein's Spirituality intuition told him that many unknown influences were hidden in the place where the " Dark Angel " Land of Slumber, and he must not be careless.
He immediately gathered his thoughts and observed his surroundings, searching for any potentially lurking high-ranking beings like Adam or Amon, but found nothing unusual.
With a sigh of relief, Klein busied himself shattering the Beyonder Characteristic of the " Miracle Invoker " that had detached from the " Curtain," allowing the parts from Sequence 9 to Sequence 3 to re-coagulate, and making Sequence 2 pure again.
Then, he returned to the fragments of history, where he was once again influenced by the " Virtual Persona " and became even more like the Clown.
The next second, he left the gray mist and reappeared in front of the open gates of the Giant King's residence.
The " Silver Knight " Marionette, which had plunged its greatsword into the crack in the ground to create an invisible barrier, then stood up.
By this time, Colin Iliad's severed arm had been reattached, and Lovia's injuries had healed. However, a few golden ears of wheat had somehow sprouted from the back of her head, swaying precariously.
They walked to the door with Derrick and returned the " Staff of Life " to Klein.
After receiving it, Klein casually flicked his wrist, releasing the maintenance of this Historical Projection and causing it to vanish into thin air.
Immediately afterwards, he reached forward with his right hand, intending to summon the Historical Void image of the messenger lady in her intact state.
Just then, Colin Iliad suddenly spoke up and asked:
"Which Angel do you intend to summon?"
"It doesn't necessarily have to be that one. I have too many choices," Klein stated the fact in a slightly exaggerated tone.
Colin has deactivated his Giant form and returned to his original height of over two meters. After all, maintaining the incomplete Mythical Creature Form was still a significant burden for him.
At this moment, he wore the silver armor that had materialized, and carried two Dawn Straight Swords that had returned to their normal size. He spoke calmly:
"The corrupted Monster just now exhibited qualities that Depravity living beings; the place where the ' Dark Angel ' slumbers should also have a similar influence."
The Chief meant that the Angel projection summoned by "The World" might rebel after entering the Giant King's residence? And a Depravity Angel, even just a projection, could make us pay a heavy price... Derrick easily understood what the Chief meant but didn't say.
On the other side, the flesh and blood of Lovia's head wriggled, enveloping the few ears of wheat inside and merging them into herself.
"That makes sense." Klein smiled and nodded, then snapped his fingers lightly.
Then, he pulled an ordinary crow out of the Fog of History and let it fly over the open door into a deep, dark interior.
After the crow's silhouette was swallowed by the dark surroundings, Klein's eyebrows twitched slightly. He turned his head and smiled at the City of Silver chief, saying:
"We've lost contact."
Colin Iliad responded, without any surprise:
"This is the Angel King."
Klein couldn't help but smirk. This was a considerable problem for him, as it meant he couldn't summon Historical Projection to replace his original body.
--The fact that his "shadow" was cut off before also illustrates this point.
"Alright." Klein flicked his wrist a few times as if to loosen his wrist, and pulled a black cane inlaid with various gemstones from thin air.
"0-62", " Staff of the Stars "!
He could only try to see if the Sealed Artifact projection and the Marionette he held in his hands would Depravity corruption and rebel.
After they were all ready, Colin Iliad, Lovia, and Derrick simultaneously turned their gazes toward the deep darkness beyond the open door.
Klein pointed there with his " Staff of the Stars " and said with a clear smile:
"This will be a dangerous journey; everyone could die, you and I alike."
Having said that, he adjusted his top hat and followed behind the " Silver Knight " Marionette through the open door into the deep darkness.
Colin Iliad, Lovia, and Derrick walked forward silently but resolutely without speaking.
Backlund, battlefield outside the city.
Audrey, now in her " Dragonification " and disguised with " Lies," is engaged in a fierce battle with the Demigod dressed in General Feysac's uniform, wearing a silver mask and gloves.
The opponent's impenetrable defense, the broadsword formed from the Dawn, the ability to Light Concealment, and the rapier that could " Teleportation " all left a very deep impression on her.
If Audrey hadn't known that the high-ranking members of Feysac and Intis were mostly " Silver Knight," " Demon Hunter," " Iron-Blooded Knight," " War Bishop," " Unshadowed," " Mentor of Justice," " Alchemist," and " Mystery Pryer," and hadn't gathered intelligence and done some homework beforehand at the Tarot Club, Audrey would have been defeated long ago due to her lack of sufficient solo combat experience.
Thanks to her accumulated experience, Audrey recovered after enduring the initial attack. Relying on her abilities, which are more focused on control and mental influence, such as " Combat Hypnosis," " Mind Deprivation," " Psychological Breath," and " Mind Storm," she gradually turned the tide of the battle and escaped her predicament.
Of course, the most important factor was that the divine influence brought about by the " Dragonification " interfered with the " Silver Knight's" mind and thoughts, and gave Audrey a physique that could withstand damage and the strength to resist attacks; otherwise, she could only barely maintain her strength and would have already been injured.
As Sequence 3 Saint of the " Warrior " path, General Feysac possesses a steadfast will and the unique ability to resist illusions, effectively countering mental abilities and reducing negative impacts. Therefore, he still holds the upper hand, using " Light Concealment " and " Silver Rapier " to suppress Audrey, attempting to create an opportunity to defeat her.
Audrey remained remarkably calm, because while fighting, she had created a virtual personality that distracted her by sowing many seeds of " Mental Plague " into the surrounding environment.
Before long, General Feysac will suffer a silent infection!
At this moment, from the Allied positions, countless crimson flaming spears were launched, covering the sky and densely packed together.
The " Silver Knight " didn't dodge; instead, he stepped forward, swung his Dawn Greatsword, and dragged Audrey to the spot.
Whoosh whoosh!
The flaming spears fell one after another, engulfing the two Demigod.
Audrey's face Distortion uncontrollably, and her " Dragonification " body was covered in scorch marks on its gray-white scales, while the " Silver Knight's " armor still gleamed with a silvery light, seemingly unaffected.
Compared to the " Giant " whose specialty is defense, the " Dragon " are significantly less able to withstand attacks.
It was only at this point that Audrey realized she was participating in a war, rather than engaging in a one-on-one duel.
As another wave of flamethrowers was about to hit, there seemed to be some unrest within the Allied positions, and a degree of collapse occurred.
Just then, the thick fog that had enveloped the entire battlefield vanished as if it had never existed.
Audrey and General Feysac simultaneously ceased fighting, feeling unusually weak, even struggling to lift their arms.
She saw a burst of orange-red light rapidly approaching from behind the Allied positions, at the edge of the boundless plain, instantly filling most of the sky and obscuring the Sun.
The area around Backlund suddenly turned to Twilight!
A deep darkness then appeared on the other side of the sky, quickly colliding with the orange-red Twilight.
All the soldiers and officers on the battlefield instantly fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.
Outside Saint Hilan Cathedral in Backlund.
Wearing red gloves, Leonard raised his head and looked up at the sky, which was half Twilight and half Evernight.
He let out a silent sigh, then turned his gaze to the entrance of Saint Hilan Cathedral.
Ikanser Bernard, with his disheveled brown hair, and the other members of " Machinery Hivemind " stood there, looking at the sky with slight bewilderment.
Just a few months ago, they had worked closely with Leonard's " Red Gloves " team, cleaning up the evil forces in Backlund and searching for the " The Fool," Concealment organization codenamed after tarot cards.
The bell tower of the Sea Waves Cathedral in Bayam, the " City of Generosity " in the Rorsted Archipelago.
Danitz watched as the rebels entered the city and took over many areas, finally letting out a secret sigh of relief. He turned to Alger beside him and said:
"You see, they're very popular in most parts of this city."
Alger's gaze followed the group of darker-skinned locals, without responding to Danitz.
Danitz was very relaxed and said with a smile:
"I never imagined our reunion would be like this."
Alger raised his head, about to speak, when suddenly a thought struck him, and he turned his gaze to the northwest sky.
Wherever his gaze fell, the sky suddenly darkened, layers of dark clouds piled up, and countless silvery lightning bolts leaped out.
Many deep blue waves surged high, swept by the wind, heading straight for the clouds, connecting the sky and the sea.
Where the sea meets the sky, beams of light appeared. They were not brilliant, not clear, and had no color; they seemed to be composed of a vast amount of illusory things.
