Ten in the evening, in the alley at the back door of The Brave.
Klein, who was wearing a black double-breasted frock coat and a halved top hat of the same color, only circled the area once before strolling to the nearest street like the last time.
Just as he walked out of the alley, a carriage stopped in front of him. And behind the glass window was Marić's brown eyes that were constantly suppressing their malice.
Klein pressed down on the half top hat on his head, held his sturdy cane, and calmly boarded the carriage, as though he was the one who had beckoned for the carriage to stop.
He sat down and straightened his bow tie, like a gentleman on his way to a banquet.
"Such an attire isn't suitable for combat." Dressed in a white shirt, black vest, and tight pants, Marić sized him up and suddenly furrowed his brows.
It was obvious that he still had some doubts about Klein's strength, but he chose to trust Sharon.
Klein smiled in a relaxed manner.
"My Beyonder powers are different from yours, and so are my combat styles. Such clothes won't cause any negative effects, and it even suits me very well. For example, it has a lot of pockets, allowing me to store different items in different places. This way, I won't take the wrong item when I'm anxious and lose my life because of a laughable mistake."
As he spoke, he took out the remaining three sedatives from a secret pocket he had sewn — a special sedative concocted by an Apothecary!
As soon as he finished speaking, a silhouette quickly appeared on the other side of the window.
It was a figure wearing a black regal dress and a small bonnet.
She was none other than the Sequence 5 Beyonder of the Mutant pathway, Wraith Sharon.
"You're explaining too much," Sharon said in an ethereal tone as she looked at Klein with her blue eyes. "It's not natural enough."
… I'm just trying to get into my acting mode … Klein laughed dryly and replied, "It's probably because I'm a little nervous."
Without waiting for Sharon to speak again, he handed the three sedatives to Marić.
Without waiting for Sharon to speak again, he handed the three sedatives to Maric.
Without waiting for Sharon to speak again, he handed the three sedatives to Marić.
"I believe that you have more experience than me. You won't drink too early or too late, and you won't drink too little or too much."
Marić looked at the sealed and transparent glass test tube and gently shook the liquid inside.
"Two and a half. Any more and I'll really calm down and not want to do anything for a while."
"Very good," Klein praised and turned to look at Sharon. "Have you determined the location of the ambush?"
Sharon nodded slightly.
"We're on our way there."
She did not directly reveal the location of the battle to Klein.
Very cautious, very careful … Klein thought for a moment and asked,
"Will you be harmed by the purification?"
"Zombies can do it, and I can do it when I'm in my spirit form," Sharon gave a very simple answer.
In other words, when a Sequence 5 Wraith still has a physical body, it's very difficult for purification to have any effects … Klein asked thoughtfully,
"What about exorcism?"
"What about the demon hunters?"
As she was dealing with a powerhouse of the same pathway, Sharon didn't hide anything.
"Demon Hunting will cause damage to our bodies, while Exorcism will harm both our bodies and spirit bodies, but it's not fatal."
Klein smiled and exhaled.
"I understand."
He thought for a moment and asked again after some deliberation,
"Do you feel the power of purification and exorcism?"
"No," Maric answered hoarsely from the side.
Very good, the spirituality cage that mutated from the wall of spirituality can indeed isolate the effects of the Sun Brooch. However, I'm so hot … Klein sighed inwardly and confirmed, "That's not the case.
"Wraith Steve, Zombie Jason, and Werewolf Tyre, apart from the Scarlet Lunar Corona, what other mystical items or Beyonder weapons do they have?"
"We don't know." Marić pinched the space between his eyebrows again, looking a little annoyed.
With the great battle at hand, it was inevitable that he, who had been suppressing his malice and desires, would have some emotional fluctuations.
Sharron listened quietly and replied in an unperturbed tone, "That's right.
"Under the influence of the Scarlet Lunar Corona, Jason and Tyre will be in a relatively crazy state."
"Even if they have mystical items, they don't have the rationality to use them."
"Unless it's passive." Marić added, "And to a Werewolf, his claws are his Beyonder weapons. It's the same for me, Tyre, and Jason. They can slice through steel and come with poison."
Klein's eyes darted around slightly as he nodded.
"Alright, I have no more questions."
In the night where there were few passersby, the carriage sped along. The wheels of the carriage ran over puddles from time to time, splashing tiny stains on the ground.
Ten minutes later, Marić had the zombie who was driving pull the reins.
Klein looked out of the glass window and saw a dark place with dilapidated buildings. Not far away, there was the sound of running water.
"This is the West Balam Dock that has been abandoned for a year. It's about to be renovated. Our ambush spot is in the warehouse area," Marić introduced.
An abandoned West Balam Dock … If anything were to happen, the Tussock River would be the best escape route … According to my previous reconnaissance, there's a Lever Cathedral about two kilometers northwest of here. It belongs to the God of Steam and Machinery … Klein quickly recalled his surroundings.
He got off the carriage, pretended to leisurely straighten his clothes, and with his cane in hand, he followed Sharon and Marić deep into the dock that was about to be renovated.
After walking for about five or six minutes, they arrived at an empty space surrounded by a few warehouses.
The soil here was dark brown, and withered weeds were everywhere. A wooden crate was quietly placed in a secluded and dark corner.
"That's the explosives you wanted." Marić pointed.
Klein nodded.
"Aren't you afraid that a tramp will steal it?"
"My zombies are sleeping underground here. Once anyone enters, they will scare them away." Marić pointed to a few spots. "When you bury the bombs, avoid them."
"No problem." Klein chuckled and nodded. He then asked, "If I use my purification and exorcism powers now, will it harm those little guys of yours?"
"No, they're equivalent to corpses in their slumber. Furthermore, there's a thick layer of soil as a barrier," Marić gave an affirmative answer.
After Sharon surveyed the area, she said, "Stay here and make your preparations.
"You stay here and do your preparations. We'll lure the enemy over."
"It won't take more than thirty minutes. Please make good use of the time."
"After you're done with your preparations, hide in a random warehouse. Don't be in a rush to attack. You have to be patient."
"No matter how dangerous the situation is, treat it as normal."
"When I become weak and the Scarlet Lunar Corona appears, you can use that 'eye' to find Steve and launch a sudden attack on him. I'll also use my mystical item to cooperate with you."
Klein listened carefully and chuckled.
"It's a very simple plan."
"The simpler the plan, the more effective it is," Sharon replied calmly.
Marić pinched his forehead and shook his head.
"Steve isn't a stupid guy. If a complicated plan goes awry, it'll be completely ruined."
After the exchange, Sharon's figure instantly vanished. Marić also quickly ran out of the dock.
Watching them leave, Klein took out a small square metal box from his pocket. There was a "membrane" formed from spirituality stuck to it. This was the "spirituality cage" that had evolved from the "wall of spirituality."
It could isolate the effects of certain mystical items on the outside world to a certain extent, but it couldn't improve the negative effects on the wielder.
Of course, a Sealed Artifact that was too powerful or bizarre was definitely not something a "spirituality cage" could deal with. It needed a special sealing environment that corresponded to it.
Four warehouses, overgrown with weeds, and the ground is a little muddy from the previous rain … Klein took out a piece of paper and shook it.
Pa!
The piece of paper quickly tightened and became as hard as an iron plate.
Klein held the piece of paper and quickly dug a shallow hole in the middle of the empty space. He buried the small square metal box in it, separated from the outside world by a thin layer of soil.
Then, he took out sticks of dynamite from the wooden box and buried them in different corners and different warehouses.
As for the last few sticks, he buried them near the center of the tomb.
After doing all of this, he took out his revolver and adjusted the ratio of bullets. Three Purification bullets and two Exorcism bullets.
Stuffing the revolver into his armpit holster, Klein straightened his clothes and went to the gap between two warehouses. He threw a paper figurine there on top of the buried explosives.
He looked at his surroundings again and took out another square metal box. He removed the spirituality cage on the outside and took out the dark gold brooch in the shape of a Sun bird. He solemnly wore it on his left chest.
Phew … Klein exhaled and left. He circled the area outside, threw some inconspicuous items, and burned the used piece of paper.
After returning, he climbed to the top of a warehouse and hid in the shadows.
After counting and confirming the various charms, extract, and herbal powder, Klein touched the iron cigar case and snapped his fingers.
The paper figurine he had thrown in the gap between the two warehouses immediately stood up, turning into a gentleman wearing a black double-breasted frock coat, a half top hat, and a sturdy cane.
The gentleman's position was rather remote and hidden, making it difficult for anyone who came in from the outside to see it.
And with it replacing him, Klein's figure completely vanished from where he stood.
However, his vision wasn't affected in any way, and he could clearly see the path that led to the clearing.
Even though he was prepared and had experienced many battles, Klein still felt a little afraid and uneasy at this moment.
No matter how good a performance was, it could still be seen through!
Furthermore, the opponent was a Sequence 5 Beyonder with a mystical item! There was also a Sequence 6 and a Sequence 7!
This is the state every Magician is in before they go on stage, right? Klein took a silent breath, suppressing the various emotions in his heart and the heat in his body.
Tonight, the crimson moon was covered by clouds, and there was only a faint glow in the clearing.
Not long after, Klein saw three figures approaching at an extremely fast speed.
