48 Sour Lemon Street, outside the Wind of Azure Inn.
Blazing Dhaniz, who was wearing a thick jacket and wide-legged pants, took a detour back and stuck to the corner of the wall. He didn't move for a long time, hesitating if he should take the opportunity to escape so that he wouldn't have to face the terrifying lunatic, German Sparrow.
Unlike the battle at Bansy Harbor, he was hiding on a rooftop far away, allowing him to see the entire battle zone. Therefore, while assisting German Sparrow and fighting Blood Brambles Hendry, he finally saw the crazy adventurer's battle process and grasped the Beyonder powers and uniqueness that he displayed.
Paper Figurine Substitutes, Flaming Flash, Psyche Blast, the holy light of the Sun domain, the rubbing of his fingers to shoot out Air Bullets, the ability to completely disguise himself as another person, as well as the mystical glove that changed its appearance several times and devoured Squall. The number exceeds my imagination. Furthermore, a few of them are incompatible. This isn't something that can be explained by simply adding one or two mystical items to a Sequence … Also, the hunger that comes from the depths of the soul indicates something … Vice Admiral Hurricane's glove, Creeping Hunger! Captain specially reminded us that the glove can Graze the souls of many Beyonders, allowing us to use their powers … Dhaniz's thoughts and final judgment flowed through his mind.
German Sparrow is the current owner of Creeping Hunger!
He didn't look down on him just because he relied on a powerful mystical item to appear so terrifying. Instead, he felt even more reverent.
Firstly, the extent to which a mystical item could be used depended on one's own standards. If German Sparrow didn't have a certain level of strength and rich combat experience in the Beyonder domain, he wouldn't have been able to finish off Steel Maveti and the calm Squall in ten seconds, even with Creeping Hunger.
Secondly, his captain, Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina Edwards, had learned from secret channels that Vice Admiral Hurricane hadn't died at the hands of the Church of the Storm. Instead, he had been quickly killed by a powerhouse while escaping.
Dhaniz had no lack of understanding of how powerful Vice Admiral Hurricane Zillinges was at his peak. He knew where a powerhouse that could easily finish him off was. It was equivalent to a king that stood at the pinnacle of all pirates. Furthermore, it was one of the two most powerful and terrifying ones, the King of the Five Seas and Queen Mystic!
Although there's the element of a surprise attack, I can only lower his evaluation. He's not much weaker than the King of Immortality, and he's stronger than Admiral Hell and Admiral of Blood … Creeping Hunger now belongs to Gehrman Sparrow, which means that either he's the powerhouse who killed Qilangos, or he has an important figure at the level of one of the Four Kings standing behind him. Regardless of which possibility it is, it's more terrifying than what I originally imagined! Dhaniz's body tensed up. He really didn't wish to face the adventurer who had crazy blood coursing through his veins.
Phew … He exhaled and felt that he had been hesitating for too long. He needed to make a decision as soon as possible.
German Sparrow knows divination, and he's rather confident in his abilities. With my Shadow Cloak in his hands, not only will it be difficult to escape, but it will also infuriate him … Shadow Cloak is a rare mystical item … Dhaniz gritted his teeth and turned around the corner. He entered the hotel's main entrance and went all the way to the luxurious suite.
After cautiously waiting for a few seconds and observing the situation, Dhaniz took out his key and opened the door.
He saw that the room was dark. The gas wall lamps weren't lit, and the not-so-bright morning sunlight shone in through the window, illuminating the German Sparrow who was facing the door.
This adventurer had already changed back into his original attire. He wore a black coat and dark-colored trousers. He held a half top hat in his hand as he raised his right foot and placed it on his left thigh.
He leaned back slightly. His face was dark and blurry because his back was to the window. Only his dark brown eyes were abnormally clear as he calmly stared at the door.
Dhaniz subconsciously lowered his head and laughed dryly.
"According to your instructions, I circled to a few newspaper offices and wrote the news of Blazing killing Steel Maveti, Blood Brambles Hendry, and Squall on a piece of paper before throwing it in.
"Of course, in this piece of news, I have a powerful helper. He is mysterious and unknown. He is a top-notch adventurer and an experienced bounty hunter."
Klein nodded slightly and smiled politely.
"Very good."
Dhaniz heaved a sigh of relief. He looked around and saw the peacock blue Flying Carpet.
He was stunned for a few seconds before he asked in confusion,
"What about Steel and Huntley's heads?"
Klein said calmly, "That's right.
"I didn't take them."
"You didn't take them?" Dhaniz blurted out in astonishment. "Then what about our bounty?"
As long as he had the heads of Steel and Blood Brambles, he could obtain the corresponding bounty through people with connections and background. Although he would lose fifteen to thirty percent of the money, as a pirate, he couldn't claim the bounty himself. He could only use such a method. The military and the Church used bounties to encourage pirates to kill each other, but that didn't mean that they would let go of a gift that was delivered to their doorstep.
To Dhaniz's surprise, the German Sparrow, who was crazily thirsty for money, didn't take the heads of Steel and Blood Brambles. It was equivalent to him giving up on the bounty.
Klein didn't answer him as he pointed at the Flying Carpet on the ground.
"You are a collaborator. You have two choices.
"One is 3,000 pounds in cash. The second is this Flying Carpet.
"I'll give you five seconds to consider. Exceeding that time will be considered as giving up."
3,000 pounds in cash or a Flying Carpet? This Flying Carpet seems to only have the ability to hover and fly. Furthermore, it's not that fast, so it's not that useful … That's not right. At sea, such items are very precious to Beyonders other than the Sailor pathway. At the very least, I don't have to worry about what happens if the ship sinks … Dhaniz was momentarily hesitant.
Then, he heard German Sparrow count.
"3, 2 …"
！ Dhaniz was alarmed as he hurriedly said, "Flying Carpet!"
"Flying Carpet!"
Klein nodded.
"Alright."
Knowing that the other party was trustworthy, Danitz finally relaxed and grumbled in a half-mumbling, half-complaining tone.
He grumbled, "Why didn't you count to five and four?"
We agreed on five seconds!
Klein replied without a change in expression.
"I counted to myself."
I counted to myself … Dhaniz took a deep breath and revealed a twisted smile.
Klein slowly stood up, flicked his wrist, and threw the top hat in his hand, letting it hang steadily on the rack before walking to his bedroom.
…
Cathedral of Waves.
Alger, who had entered in the name of a morning prayer, met the diocese bishop, Chogo, and recounted what had happened last night. The only thing that had been modified was that the Sanguine anesthetic gas had been changed to the Slumber Charms of the Church of Evernight.
Chogo nodded in appreciation.
"For the sake of your faith, you dared to venture deep into the enemy's lair and risk your life. Such behavior is worthy of praise. You are a true Attendant of the Storm.
"Last night, we captured five Beyonders and killed two of them on the spot. Maveti, Hendry, and Squall also died as a result. The heads of these three pirates will either never appear again, or they're in our hands. The government's bounty will be ours.
"This totals to more than 10,000 pounds. You will receive most of it, which is 6,000 pounds.
"Don't decline. The Lord tells us that those who fight for their faith must not be trapped."
"Holy Lord of Storms!" Alger pounded his left chest with an excited expression.
Although he and The World hadn't agreed on how to split the spoils of war, he believed that the two of them had a certain tacit understanding. For example, they wouldn't interfere with each other's hunting of the pirates. The bounty would be split equally between the two because they had to clear the Church's name.
As for the bounties from countries and organizations like the Intis and Feysac, Alger didn't have any extravagant hopes. This was because every claim required him to hand over the target's complete corpse or head. Therefore, he could only choose one of them. Only people with deep backgrounds and good relationships with various countries and organizations could receive all of them.
3,000 pounds belongs to The World … I've suddenly lost 3,000 pounds, which will definitely arouse suspicion. Yes, I have to find an opportunity to buy a mystical item. As such items are rare, they often come at a premium. It's even more so when I'm in urgent need. No one will suspect me if I offer 5,000 pounds if I buy it for 3,000 pounds … I'll sell the items I obtained from Old Quinn, and this account will be settled … Alger quickly came up with a follow-up plan.
…
Knowing that he would receive 3,000 pounds, Klein happily sat on The Fool's high-back chair and considered a serious problem.
That was, after Grazing Steel Maveti, he would release a soul from Creeping Hunger according to his promise.
Their Beyonder powers are very useful. It's quite a pity to release them before I find a replacement. Hmm … Besides, I've already released that Faceless. There doesn't seem to be a need this time … Hesitation, hesitation, and reluctance fermented in Klein's heart, making him unable to make a decision for a long time.
After a while, he leaned back and exhaled.
I can't lie to myself. He shook his head and laughed. He felt relaxed because he had made up his mind.
He would keep his promise and release a soul.
The Faceless from before had been released ahead of time because he wanted to obtain the corresponding information. In essence, it was an equivalent exchange.
Which one should I release? Miss Justice has bought the ingredients for a Psychiatrist and a mystical item worth 5,500 pounds. No matter how rich she is, she should be short on funds. It's not appropriate to sell the Psychiatrist Beyonder characteristic at this time. Hmm, she still owes my adorer 2,000 pounds. She'll repay it in February or March … Klein rejected his previous idea and planned on releasing the Nightmare first.
As a former Nighthawk, he always had an enhanced impression and feelings for Beyonders in this domain. Therefore, without any other factors, it wasn't difficult for him to make a choice.
After calming his emotions, Klein picked up the human-skinned glove that he had previously brought above the gray fog. He closed his eyes and sensed the distorted and illusory souls.
Without any hesitation, he released the Nightmare.
