Instead of Teleportation directly back to 160 Böklund Street, Klein took " The Winner " Enuni to the sea, found a secluded spot, and whispered the name of " The Fool."
Then, he took four steps backward, entered the Gray Fog, and beckoned a paper figure to fly over.
Immediately afterwards, he picked up one of the " Card of Blasphemy " placed on the long bronze table in front of him and absorbed it into his body.
Suddenly, Klein was draped in a deep red robe, which looked as if countless drops of blood had settled after being stained with rust and gunpowder. His face was covered by a dark gold mask with ancient stripes, which complemented the crown inlaid with red, blue, and green gemstones.
This is the change brought about by the " Red Priest " card.
After numerous experiments, Klein confirmed that a certain characteristic of the " Red Priest " card, combined with the " Paper Angel's " interference with Fate, could allow the power related to the mysterious space above the Gray Fog to be exerted more fully. Therefore, he chose it at this time, rather than the " Black Emperor " or " Tyrant " cards.
After completing the preliminary preparations, Klein, transformed into the " Red Priest," picked up the paper figure, casually flicked it, merging it with the surging Gray Fog, and threw it into the layers of light generated by his prayer.
The paper figure rapidly expanded, transforming into Angel bathed in golden light, with pure flames intertwining behind it, conjuring twelve pairs of wings.
The " Angel of War " then descended to earth following the Concealment connection created by the prayer, enveloping Klein and the " Winner " Enuni in fiery wings.
After finishing all this, Klein finally relaxed a little, put away the " Red Priest " card, and returned to the real world.
He first went to find food for " the Creeping Hunger," then took " the Winner," Enuni, back to 160 Böklund Street, one reverting to Dawn Dantès ' appearance, and the other becoming a mixed-race young man again.
After fixing his hair, Klein walked to the master bedroom balcony and glanced at the Macht family's house in the distance. He noticed that the lights were still on there, indicating that the ball was clearly not over yet.
Generally, this will continue until the early hours of the morning. Of course, leaving midway is allowed, since most of those willing to dance until late at night are young people.
Phew... Amon is truly terrifying. Even a battle involving Demigod of the " Marauder " pathway could attract His attention, even though one was in the city and the other in the suburbs... At His level, the Law of Beyonder Characteristics Convergence should already be tangible, right? Hmm, it's possible that the Demigod was about to lose control and undergo a mutation, which is why Amon sensed it... Klein couldn't help but recall what had just happened, fearing that if he just turned his head, he would find that thin, refined young man with a monocle sitting in his bedroom armchair, slowly sipping a glass of red wine.
He felt fortunate that he had become Demigod, able to conceal the aura of the Gray Fog and prevent Beyonder with special pathways from noticing it. Otherwise, given Amon's previous interest in it, His attention would have been focused on Gehrman Sparrow rather than that " Marauder " pathway Demigod. In that case, he might not have been able to Teleportation away so smoothly.
Since it's highly likely that Amon's appearance in Backlund was just an illusion, Klein was still somewhat confident in the " Paper Angel's " ability to interfere, believing that the Angel King wouldn't be able to follow the trail all the way to 160 Böklund Street and pinpoint Dawn Dantès.
But this still couldn't put his mind at ease, because the " Marauder's " journey through the Demigod had also implicated Böklund Street!
Here, he encountered the " Admiral of Blood," forced by a hidden Demigod to detonate explosives and Parasitism a rat... Here, he received a warning from the mirror, knowing there was a " Marauder " pathway Angel in dire need of replenishment nearby, and that the " Blasphemer " Amon was on his way... Here, for refusing to answer the mirror's questions, he was struck by lightning and transferred to the Elk Manor... In addition, his supposed student Hibbert, whom he was trying to Parasitism, was affected by powerful Illusion tonight, exposing her teacher's condition... With so many things combined, Amon might come to check... The more Klein thought about it, the more unsafe this place seemed.
In his view, the mere fact that there were " Marauder " in the vicinity who desperately needed to replenish their ranks was enough of a warning from the Angel that Amon should "settle" on Böklund Street for a while!
Of course, it's highly unlikely that the Demigod of the " Marauder " pathway escaped without revealing anything, but Klein thought that was almost impossible. After all, he himself was confident in handling the matter, let alone Amon, who had some degree of control over the " Marauder " pathway!
Sigh, I shouldn't have been wary of the old man inside Leonard. If I hadn't been worried about him harming Leonard after he recovered further, I could have dealt with it quickly and avoided attracting Amon... What should I do next? No matter what, I have to do something, otherwise not only will I lose my identity as Dawn Dantès, but it might also implicate Leonard on Pinster Street and the ordinary people on Böklund Street. Who knows if Amon will suddenly Parasitism them... Klein's thoughts turned, and his expression became serious as he seriously considered how to eliminate Amon's clone.
His first thought was to contact Leonard and work with his grandfather Pallez Zoroast, inside him to devise a "cleanup plan." Given the " Marauder " Angel's understanding of this pathway and Amon, they should be able to come up with a good solution.
Klein immediately took out paper and pen, ready to write a letter, but he only scribbled a few strokes with his round-bellied fountain pen before stopping.
He felt this wasn't secret enough, because discussing it in too much detail might affect their Fate, allowing Amon to discover it in advance!
"A safer approach would be to bring Leonard above the Gray Fog, relay the message to him there, and then use him as a middleman to discuss it with Pallez Zoroast... What else can we do? Report it to the church and have them carry out a full-scale 'anti-virus' operation against Backlund?" Klein put down his pen, muttering to himself, considering other options.
He quickly abandoned the idea of reporting it now, because Leonard hadn't done so last time. Based on the old man's understanding of " the Blasphemer " Amon within him, this method was either ineffective or had significant flaws, and could very well have the opposite effect on himself.
"Let's ask Leonard first, get the specifics, and then make a decision..." Klein quickly made his decision.
He temporarily suppressed the urge to draw symbols to ask " Magic Mirror " Arrodes, and to contact " Snake of Fate " Will Auceptin. He sent " Winner " Enuni away, entered the master bedroom bathroom, walked four steps backward, and came to the top of the Gray Fog.
Seated in the seat designated for the " The Fool," Klein manifested "The World" Gehrman Sparrow, instructing the dummy to pray devoutly:
"Great ' The Fool,' please tell Leonard Mitchell that I have discovered new traces of ' The Blasphemer ' Amon. I hope he can come to your kingdom as soon as possible to discuss the next steps. The specific time will be determined by him."
After transforming the prayer into light and shadow and casting it into the crimson star representing Leonard, Klein, in his capacity as " The Fool," added:
"There's no need to hide it from Pallez Zoroast."
In a sparse grove of trees on the outskirts of the North Borough.
Leonard stretched out his right hand and pressed it against a transparent, blurry wolf figure.
The wolf whimpered, and the fire in its eyes gradually faded, returning to normal.
Its form faded and dissipated, disappearing into the wind, but it no longer had the feeling of being violent and bloodthirsty; instead, it was peaceful and calm.
In the Northern Continent, since the Pale Age, the "burial in cemeteries" decree jointly promoted by the seven major orthodox churches and royal families of various countries has been strictly enforced. Ghosts transformed from humans are now extremely rare, and they mainly exist only in slums where deaths are difficult to detect in time, and in rivers, lakes, and seas where drowning victims may not be quickly retrieved. However, the source of the dead is not only humans. Various wild animals and Spirituality beings can also become ghosts when conditions are right, and they cannot go to human cemeteries to seek peace on their own.
This has led to the phenomenon of ghost stories frequently circulating in remote and desolate areas.
Having just " Placate " the ghost of the wolf, Leonard was suddenly enveloped in an endless gray-white mist, and the prayer of "The World" Gehrman Sparrow immediately echoed in his ears.
The new whereabouts of " the Blasphemer " Amon, He's still in Backlund... Leonard's eyelids twitched, and his whole body tensed up instantly.
Because Mr. The Fool had given the order, he didn't hesitate and lowered his voice to say:
" Old Man, did you see that? Did you hear that?"
Pallez Zoroast's slightly aged voice then rang out:
"No.
"Although I sensed something amiss, I didn't see or hear anything unless you allow me to Parasitism you at a deeper level and directly control your Astral Body."
Do you think I'm a fool? Hmm, it seems Mr. The Fool's response was delivered through Astral Body... Leonard pondered for a moment, carefully choosing his words:
" Old Man, Klein relayed something to me through Mr. ' The Fool '. He said he has discovered new traces of Amon and wants me to go to Mr. ' The Fool's' kingdom to discuss this matter."
"What suggestions do you have?"
Pallez Zoroast was silent for a few seconds, then sighed and said:
"If he wants to deal with Amon's clone in Backlund, tell him that unless he has Concealment protection, he knows the consequences."
The Old Man offered this suggestion on a condition: if there truly was Concealment blessing, would He be willing to cooperate? Leonard's heart stirred, and he immediately found a dark corner and, in a prayer, informed the "world" of Klein that he could do so right now.
As for whether losing control of his body in the countryside would be dangerous, Leonard wasn't worried, because he still had Angel within him who followed the " Marauder " pathway.
Before long, a deep red tide surged before his eyes, instantly engulfing him.
