As the crimson Moonlight suddenly dimmed, a corresponding thought flashed through Klein's mind:
"The red moon is shrouded in mist again!"
The moment his thought crossed his mind, the figures that could be vaguely seen coming and going outside the dark curtain vanished as if evaporated, and the low growls of the beasts also stopped abruptly.
The environment here has returned to its previous state... " Witch of Despair " Panatiya can move normally again... Mr. A no longer needs to worry about the dangers outside and can attack and prey on his prey with madness... Klein made a judgment in an instant, raised his right index finger, and snapped it on fire with the leaves of a tree dozens of meters away.
He needed to distance himself from Mr. A to avoid further infection, while also deciding whether to risk entering the ancient church depending on the situation.
Given their current situation, Klein already had a preliminary plan: to try to divert the attention of the terrifying Witch Panatiya by using Mr. A possessed diverse abilities and considerable strength. In any case, for the latter, there was no essential difference in the quality of the flesh between the " Shepherd " and the " Marionettist "—both could fill her stomach—so she would deal with whoever was easier to capture first.
When that time comes, a battle between the two will inevitably break out, Klein will look for an opportunity to "snipe" Panatiya!
Just as the crimson flames surged and enveloped Klein's figure, he saw Mr. A once again turn into shadow, blending into the surrounding environment and disappearing into who-knows-where.
He got away... he got away... Aren't you the crazy Mr. A? Shouldn't you be continuing to chase your prey? How did you get away...? Klein's eyes narrowed, and he couldn't help but twitch his lips.
His figure then disappeared into the flames, reappearing in the firelight dozens of meters away.
As soon as Klein leaped out of the flames, his forehead burned again, his lungs felt heavy, and he struggled to breathe.
plague!
The plague of " Witch of Despair " Panatiya has spread!
In Klein's eyes, the radiant woman in the Pure White robe had somehow Levitation in mid-air and was walking towards him step by step.
Beneath Panatiya's feet lay a spiderweb of countless transparent threads, connecting with the surrounding houses and trees, covering half the street.
The intense hunger in the Demigod- level Witch's eyes had subsided, and the obvious bloodshot color was gone Gehrman Sparrow carried a hint of madness and mockery, as if she wanted to gradually strip him of his ability to resist and make him experience the deepest, most painful despair.
Klein suppressed a cough, then snapped his fingers again, causing a tree near the steeple to suddenly burst into a crimson flame.
His figure was immediately covered by the firelight, quickly faded, and Blink onto the tree, Blink into the magnificent and dazzling "fireworks".
Immediately afterwards, Klein leaped to the ground and rolled quickly to the side of the ancient church.
Just then, he suddenly felt a chill. He saw that his feet, thighs, and waist were covered with a thick layer of ice, and white frost had accumulated around him, causing the temperature to drop sharply.
Klein gritted his teeth, suppressing his inner terror, and calmly placed his hands on the wall as planned.
The " Creeping Hunger " bracelet on his left palm had become transparent!
Without a sound, Klein passed through the thick, dark walls and entered the interior of the steeple church.
Where he was originally standing, a deep, dark fireball was a little slower, only managing to hit the corner of the wall, rippling out like water, burning away the nearby frost and weeds.
At that moment, around the spire of the ancient church, crows flew about with their beaks open:
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
Panatiya stopped in her tracks, gazing at the dark church ahead, a hint of fear slowly creeping across her face.
Inside the church, Klein, who had passed through the wall, was initially unable to see anything due to the darkness compared to the outside. However, as the frost melted, his eyesight adjusted to the dim light, and he was able to see the scene ahead clearly.
Within his field of vision, one figure after another hung in mid-air.
These are all humans!
Some of them wore long black robes, some wore brown jackets, some wore oversized skirts, and some were dressed in tattered clothes, looking like beggars.
Some of them had rugged faces, some had deep, handsome features, some had delicate and beautiful features, and some were young and cute. They had no resemblance whatsoever.
No, they still have something in common; they are all like bacon being dried in the wind, hanging down from a height, heads drooping, eyes rolled back, swaying unsteadily.
Klein felt a growing chill run down his spine, and he no longer doubted Panatiya and Mr. A's description of how dangerous the place was.
He pressed his back against the wall, intending to immediately " Door Opening " and go out to avoid danger if anything changed. Once discovered by the " Witch of Despair," he would pass through the wall again to avoid the attack, repeating this process to ensure his safety.
Ugh!
A chilling wind swept through the church, and the figures and corpses suspended in mid-air simultaneously turned to face Klein.
Their collars seemed to be tied with ropes, and their heads remained bowed.
Klein nearly gasped and slammed his left palm against the wall.
Just then, these figures began to sway like wind chimes, their mouths opening to emit sounds that were almost delirious:
" Hornacis... Flegrea..."
" Hornacis... Flegrea..."
" Hornacis... Flegrea..."
These sounds echoed and overlapped, merging into one that drilled into Klein's ears, giving him an unusual sense of familiarity!
This was exactly the rambling he had heard after his previous promotions!
It actually came from here, from the Foggy Town, from the corpses hanging in mid-air inside the ancient church!
At that moment, Klein felt his scalp tingle and his entire body tremble.
Could the root of this Foggy Town really be on the main peak of the Hornacis Mountain Range... that evaporated " Nation of Evernight "? Could I have really gone up the mountain? But why doesn't the same rambling in this church bring a throbbing pain in my head and a tendency to lose control... Klein hissed, opening and closing his hands repeatedly, resisting the urge to walk through the wall.
Now that he was already here, and now that he had seen the source of the delirium, he believed that escape might not be the solution.
Regardless, a simple examination is necessary; otherwise, we won't know what's wrong if something abnormal happens to the body!
After quickly performing a Divination with the gold coin, Klein tapped his teeth, activated his Spirit Vision, and looked at the densely packed figures hanging in mid-air. He saw that their Spirituality was very restrained, and although their aura and color seemed normal, they gave people a dull feeling.
It has an aura... It's not dead yet? Klein frowned slightly and deactivated his Spirit Vision.
Immediately afterwards, he pinched the first joint of his left index finger twice with his thumb, preparing to observe the " Spirit Body Threads ".
At first glance, Klein's pupils dilated sharply because the swaying figures hanging from the height, the " Spirit Body Threads," were extremely peculiar.
Each of their corresponding illusory black lines extended from their bodies, yet converged in the same direction—the highest point of the ancient church, without exception!
In Klein's view, they looked like corpses suspended by " Spirit Body Threads "!
Before Klein could even process what this meant, a scene suddenly caught his eye out of the corner of his eye:
His own " Spirit Body Threads " was drifting upwards on its own, extending towards the highest point of the church, towards the source of those suspended figures!
This was the first time Klein had ever seen the " Spirit Body Threads " operate on their own without any Manipulation!
They're like metal that's been struck by a magnet, drifting uncontrollably upwards; the fastest one is already nearing its destination!
Klein couldn't imagine what would happen if all the " Spirit Body Threads " converged there. He suspected that he would also become "smoked meat" waiting to be dried, hanging in mid-air, muttering " Hornacis... Flegrea..." in the wind.
Most Beyonder would have considered leaving the church at this moment to see if they could interrupt the process of the " Spirit Body Threads " being absorbed. But Klein was different. He was a " Marionettist." With a thought, he directly Manipulation his " Spirit Body Threads " and pulled them back one by one.
Nearly thirty seconds later, Klein finally finished the task. However, his " Spirit Body Threads " still tended to float upwards, requiring constant attention and resistance.
Is this one of the dangers lurking within this ancient church? Klein took a slow breath, no longer pressed against the wall, and walked step by step deeper into the church.
Above his head, those figures swayed as if looking down at him.
After walking twenty or thirty meters, Klein finally saw something else: the dark altar belonging to this church.
On the altar stood a stone statue.
After walking a few steps in that direction, Klein could see the statue clearly:
It has a female human form overall, but two beast legs grow from its ribs and waist, covered with short, thick, and stiff black fur.
In addition, there are thin black bands surrounding the stone statue, which look like tentacles extending outwards.
At the foot of this stone statue, countless souls slumber, like a cluster of stars surrounding it.
Klein's gaze shifted to the head of the stone statue, where he saw a beautiful face.
This... Klein's gaze froze.
He recognized that face; it was the same face that had "sent" him here!
The face of this stone statue is exactly the same as that of the "Eraser" Angel in the crypt of Saint Samuel Cathedral!
He's actually connected to this place... That makes sense, His erasure sends people here, it would be abnormal if he weren't connected... What's his connection to the " Nation of Evernight " in the Hornacis Mountain Range of the Fourth Epoch? That " Mother of the Sky "? But if that's the case, why would he serve the Church? Moreover, this image bears some resemblance to the Demonic Wolf described by the little " The Sun "... Many questions flashed through Klein's mind in an instant.
During this process, his gaze slowly shifted away, turning to other places, searching for other possible clues.
A few seconds later, Klein spotted a figure, not hanging in mid-air, but sitting diagonally behind the statue.
P. S.: It's the last two days of May, please vote with your monthly tickets, it would be a waste not to!
