After ending the divination and returning to the real World, Klein walked to the room outside his rented apartment and looked at the crimson moon in the night sky outside the window. He silently pondered for nearly a minute.
Perhaps, there's still a chance to digest the potion … Finally, he mumbled silently, found something, and disappeared into the shadows with his two marionettes.
In Baekeland, he no longer dared to use Flaming Jump, afraid that Zaratul would sense it. After all, he couldn't ignite Will Auceptin's folded paper crane every time as a precaution. This was disrespectful to the Snake of Fate, and it was easy for their family to be targeted by Dr. Allen if he kept "visiting" them.
In the blink of an eye, Klein appeared behind the tall Gothic bell tower in his dream, hiding in the shadows. This was Baekeland's iconic Bell of Order.
Right on the heels of that, he and his two marionettes split up, each occupying a different hiding spot.
After doing all of this, Klein quickly transformed a rat into a marionette and made it run to the edge of his control. It opened its mouth and softly chanted an honorific name:
"The great God of War, the symbol of iron and blood, the ruler of chaos and strife, Demoness of White Katarina is in this area …"
Klein was fulfilling his agreement with the Red Angel evil spirit, and he also hoped that this former high-level creature would step into a possible trap for him. At the same time, he was a little puzzled about Sauron Einhorn Medici's true intentions. He didn't plan on being in a hurry to seek help from the Church of Evernight or Queen Mystic Bernadette. He planned on watching from the sidelines to confirm the situation so as to prevent others from falling into a trap.
Just as the prayer ended, the gray rat suddenly convulsed a little and quietly fell to the side of the trash can.
It had already lost its life and was no longer Klein's marionette.
This was a way for Klein to prevent himself from being marked by the Red Angel evil spirit.
As for himself, after abandoning the rat marionette, he immediately left the area where the Bell of Order was with Qonas and Enuni. Then, a few kilometers away, he got the Winner to pray to Sea God Cavituis.
After praying, the man and the two puppets continued to retreat, putting quite a distance between them.
Then, Klein hid in a storeroom in a particular building, took four steps counterclockwise, and arrived above the gray fog, where he sat at The Fool's seat.
He then waved his hand and summoned the Sea God Scepter. With the help of Winner's prayer light, he expanded his range and observed the situation of the target zone.
At the same time, Klein's other hand held the piece of paper stained with Vice Admiral Ailment Tracy's blood.
With such a medium and a general range, it didn't take long for Klein to find the invisible Demoness of White Katarina with his "true vision."
The beautiful woman with black hair and blue eyes was wearing a holy white robe. She was like a weightless feather, gently floating in the streets and alleys. Even if the patrolling policemen looked in the right direction, they would not be able to discover her existence.
If not for the gray fog's help, Klein could only rely on his Spirit Body Threads to see through this level of invisibility.
Taking a deep breath, Klein patiently waited for the Red Angel evil spirit to appear, and he also observed what Katarina was looking for.
He suspected that the Demoness of White's target was Trissy Cheek.
Time passed minute by minute, and the crimson moon gradually tilted. Katerina, who wandered around the "Bell of Order" for a while without any results, revealed a slightly frustrated and disappointed expression, as if she might leave that area at any moment.
As for the Red Angel evil spirit, "He" didn't appear!
This … Sauron Einhorn Medici was just lying to me and didn't really treat the Demoness of White as a target? No, there's no need for that. If that's the case, "His" condition would be meaningless … The Red Angel evil spirit has actually already arrived at the scene, but "He" didn't immediately take action like me. "He" is waiting for my companions and I to fight Katarina before cleaning up the mess? I also want to wait for "Him" and that Demoness's battle to reach the most intense stage before suddenly appearing and plundering the biggest fruit … As Klein's thoughts raced, he had a vague guess:
He suspected that the Red Angel evil spirit was as cautious, careful, and level-headed as him. "He" hoped to be the fisherman who reeled in the net, not the net.
This is really troublesome … Next, it'll depend on who's more patient … Klein muttered silently as he continued observing the situation around the Bell of Order through the prayer light.
Tick. Tick. Tick. The second hand beat at the same rhythm in the quiet night. Demoness of White Katarina's expression became more and more gloomy.
Suddenly, she cast her gaze at the glass window of a building.
In the dim night, it was like a mirror that reflected the things in front of it.
Katarina's beautiful blue eyes flashed slightly, and the surface of the "mirror" immediately turned dark. It was as though there were countless objects and layers of space hidden inside.
The glass window seemed to have become a passageway to the Otherworld World!
Klein's heart stirred. Combined with the various Beyonder powers that Demoness Trissy had displayed that were related to mirrors, he suspected that Katarina was about to use the Mirror World to leave this place and end tonight's "hunt."
How can the Red Angel evil spirit endure it? Klein's mind tensed up as he instinctively wanted to put down the Sea God Scepter and return to the real World to take action against the Demoness of White, preventing her from leaving just like that.
As these thoughts raced through his mind, Klein ultimately didn't move.
He felt that he could still wait a little longer. This was because even if Katarina left the area around the Bell of Order, as long as she didn't discover that something had happened to her daughter, Tracy, Klein could locate her again. When the time came, he could first summon Arrodes and ask about the target's specific abilities and items. Then, he could seek Queen Mystic Bernadette's help or borrow a Grade 1 Sealed Artifact from the Church of Evernight. He could tilt the scales of victory in his favor before taking action.
I didn't deliberately hide anything in this operation. If I were to borrow a Sealed Artifact and the archbishop gave it to me, it means that the Goddess's true attitude regarding George III's matter is: She doesn't like that king becoming the Black Emperor, but she can only tacitly agree to it. If someone is willing to destroy the ritual, she's very willing to provide some help … Klein calmed his slightly anxious emotions and relaxed his state of observation.
At that moment, Demoness of White Katarina's expression returned to normal. She floated in front of the glass window and entered as though she didn't have a physical body.
The layers of illusory World inside the mirror converged as though it was constantly distancing itself.
At this moment, Klein, who was using his "true vision" to observe the area below, seemed to hear a shrill female scream.
This scream seemed to come from another World. It contained extreme fear and disbelief.
As for the residents in the surrounding area, none of them woke up. No one heard it.
Is this Katarina's scream? What exactly happened to her … Klein's gaze instantly froze as he thought of something.
The Red Angel evil spirit was also an evil spirit. It could also use Mirror Blink to use this medium.
In other words, "He" was definitely no stranger to the World in the mirror!
Could it be that Sauron Einhorn Medici had been hiding in the mirror all this while, waiting for the Demoness of White to fall into the trap? As Klein's pupils dilated, the gloom and darkness in the glass window disappeared.
The "mirror" lost all its uniqueness and returned to its original state.
After a few seconds, at the bottom of the glass window, bits of bright red slowly seeped out, condensing into a liquid that slid down.
Wherever the liquid passed, grayish-white spread out, covering the original light yellow, as though it was a stone that had been embedded.
Tap. Tap. Tap.
The drops of liquid landed on the ground and dyed the ground. They were as red as blood and as beautiful as flowers.
Upon seeing this scene, Klein's facial muscles twitched slightly. Then, he forcefully used his Clown powers to control his expression.
This kind of ending was a little out of his expectations.
A Demoness of Unaging who had lived for more than a thousand years, a powerful and experienced Sequence 3 saint, seemed to be unable to put up any resistance in front of the Red Angel evil spirit's trap. Just like that, she remained motionless.
As for Klein himself, even with his two marionettes and the Sealed Artifacts he possessed, he was still slightly inferior to Katarina's pure strength. He had to rely on advance preparations to make up for it.
This also meant that if he were to face the Red Angel evil spirit, he probably wouldn't have a better outcome. He would similarly be powerless and insignificant, and he could only slowly sink in the flood.
This is the former King of Angels? Even though he hasn't recovered to his peak strength, he still makes me feel despair … Seeing that the blood seeping out of the glass window had gradually decreased, Klein took a deep breath and returned to the real World.
Following that, he switched places with Winner Enuni, his marionette, and "Teleported" him to the glass window.
When a Bizarro Sorcerer switched places, they could choose to switch their bodies and external objects. However, there was no way to be precise at this level. It wasn't possible for Klein to leave behind whatever external object he wanted. He could only choose to leave everything behind or not leave anything behind.
Just as Enuni, who was wearing the appearance of German Sparrow, appeared, he faced the glass window and said in a deep voice, "I've already fulfilled my promise.
"I've already fulfilled my promise."
A figure instantly appeared on the glass window.
He was wearing a black robe with red patterns. He casually wore a hood, revealing his soft lines, brown skin, and pale face. He was none other than the Gatekeeper who had been possessed by Sauron Einhorn Medici.
"Well done," the young man said with a smile as he walked down from the window.
Upon hearing this, Klein took out an item from his pocket and curled up the corners of his mouth as he replied in a rather pleasant manner, "That's right.
"You've done well too."
As he spoke, he blew at the monocle in his hand and wore it on his left eye.
Sauron Einhorn Medici's smile immediately froze.
