After returning to the real World, Klein extinguished the candles, put away the remaining items, and carefully checked the situation in the warehouse.
To his relief, the seawater whirlpool created by Cavituis had completely cleaned up the place, leaving behind only the rain that spewed out later, the charred parts of the lightning, the sparse amount of ash, and the ravine that Klein plowed with his feet.
The traces are easy to deal with. I'll get Dhaniz to "wash" this place with fireballs later and disguise it as an internal conflict between pirates … Klein nodded indiscernibly, pulled out one of the few remaining paper figurines, and shook his forearm and wrist.
The paper figurine flew out and burned on its own, turning into black ash.
After doing all of this, Klein walked towards the door, frowning the more he walked.
His leather boots had lost their bottoms, and the rest of his body was tattered. His clothes were also torn, wet, and charred.
This was something that couldn't be avoided in that situation. It wasn't something that Paper Figurine Substitutes could withstand — the tearing came from the massive suction force of the seawater whirlpool, the wet feeling came from the torrential rain spewed out by Kalvetua, and the charred blackness was a result of being struck by a small amount of lightning while he was using Paper Figurine Substitutes. Even now, he had calmed down, but his right forearm still had some spasms from the electric shock.
This set of clothes cost me eight pounds and six soli … I have to get a new set … I divined the danger and made preparations, but I never expected Cavituis to be stronger and crazier than I expected … I hope I can gain something from this. Klein silently shook his head, restrained his expression, and endured the pain. He came to the door that blocked the exit and knocked three times.
Dhaniz, who had been feeling uneasy, hesitated for two seconds before moving the door.
Realizing that German Sparrow had returned to his cold and reserved state, no longer emitting the hunger and madness that made one's spirituality tremble, Dhaniz heaved a sigh of relief.
He looked inside and casually asked, "Is it over?"
"No." The corners of Klein's mouth curled up as he revealed a gentle smile.
Not yet? Dhaniz jumped in fright.
"W-what else do you want?"
Klein maintained his maniacal smile.
"It still needs cleaning.
"This is courtesy."
Cleaning … Dhaniz was stunned. He raised his right hand and pointed at himself.
"Me?"
Klein's grin grew wider.
"Or me?"
I'll be eaten by the Creeping Hunger! Dhaniz laughed dryly.
"How should I clean it?"
"Use fireballs," Klein answered succinctly.
As a part-time pirate, it did not take Dhaniz much effort to understand what German Sparrow meant. He walked past him and entered the warehouse.
During this process, he muttered in his heart. He had quite a lot of doubts.
Captain said that Creeping Hunger needs to devour a living person every day, but German Sparrow will only satisfy it once the battle is over. He usually doesn't care about it. Besides, there was a battle just now. German Sparrow also used Steel Maveti's ice powers, but he didn't "feed" it afterward … Strange … What secret is hidden here?
A seal of some sort? He, or should I say, the organization behind him can actually seal Creeping Hunger?
While Dhaniz was "cleaning" the warehouse, Klein stood outside and looked at the dark clouds in the sky, looking forward to what would happen next.
I've already sent the iron cigar case that's stained with the gray fog's aura over. I'm just waiting for the fake Sea God, Cavituis, to collapse and die … I hope that the Beyonders of the Church of the Storm and the kingdom's military haven't found the place in time, or they've left behind some items of value that they don't value … Klein slowly took a deep breath and listened to the dull rumbling sounds behind him.
…
In a hotel, Alger stood by the window and stared at the gloomy sky outside.
Not long after the Tarot incident ended, I obtained the Sanguine's anesthetic gas and prepared to head out to sea to gather the ingredients. In the end, almost a week has passed, and I'm still stuck in Bayam … The corners of his mouth twitched slightly as he shook his head.
First, there was the matter of World hunting Steel Maveti, which made him earn quite a bit. Then, he had to wait for the bounty, and after he received the bounty, he encountered Cavituis, which caused the sea serpent to collapse. He was asked to find Leticia and the other adventurers and archaeologists.
I heard that Leticia and the others were found during the investigation this morning. The Mandated Punishers and the military seem to have obtained some important clues, and many people have gone to Symeem Island … Heh, such matters will never happen to me … Alger retracted his gaze, pulled at his short robe that didn't reach his knees, and muttered to himself,
"Let's end this as soon as possible."
Once Cavituis was completely dead and the tsunami was no longer hidden, he could leave the harbor and leave the City of Generosity, Bayam. He could then work hard to advance to Sequence 6 Wind-blessed.
As his thoughts raced, Alger's heart stirred as he turned to look out the window.
He saw the clouds in the sky quickly disperse, and the crimson moon hung silently in the sky.
…
Klein slept in the middle of the night when he suddenly woke up, vaguely aware of something.
He got out of bed, went to the window, and pulled open the curtains.
The crimson moonlight shone in, covering everything like frost. It was cold and dreamy.
Klein cast his gaze out and discovered that the low-pressure clouds had disappeared. The crimson moon was bright in the sky, and the Jadestars were sparse.
Does this mean that the battle between Sea God and Sea King has ended? Klein pondered for two seconds, retracted his gaze, closed the curtains, took four steps counterclockwise, and went above the gray fog.
He sat at the end of the long mottled table, conjured a gold coin, and recited a divination statement:
"Cavituis is completely dead."
…
After repeating it seven times, he flicked the gold coin up with a clang and watched it jump up before tumbling down.
Pa! The gold coin landed in Klein's palm with the king's portrait facing up.
This meant that it was certain!
It meant that Sea God Cavituis was completely dead!
Indeed, the ancient elven ruins on Symeem Island are closely related to the hideout that Cavituis relies on to maintain its existence … The Mandated Punishers and the military had just obtained the Book of Calamity and learned about the ruins for less than twenty hours, but Cavituis couldn't hold on any longer … I originally thought that it would still be able to survive for another two to three days … Klein sighed and tried to divine if the official Beyonders had entered Cavituis's hideout.
Unfortunately, due to the lack of the corresponding information, his divination failed and he didn't receive any revelations.
After some thought, Klein changed his train of thought. He removed his spirit pendulum and divined if there would be any danger when he explored Cavituis's hideout.
This involved him, and he quickly came to a conclusion.
The topaz pendant spun counterclockwise. It wasn't too fast, nor was it too large.
There's danger, but it's bearable … It's even less dangerous than the sacrificial ritual from before … Klein nodded gently and returned to the real World to begin preparations for his operation.
He first locked the bedroom door, then set up a ritual to summon himself.
Returning above the gray fog, Klein picked up the Dark Emperor card and placed it in his Spirit Body.
All of a sudden, he became so solid that he seemed to have flesh and blood. The dark mist that emanated from the surroundings stuck to the surface of his body and formed a majestic full-body armor that seemed to be solid. However, on his head was a pitch-black, gorgeous crown.
Looking at the human-skinned glove on the table, Klein hesitated to wear it.
Above the gray fog, Creeping Hunger was almost sealed, not daring to make any abnormal movements. But as long as he left this place, the uncontrollable hunger would cause harm to its carrier, be it a living person or a Spirit Body.
Klein was considering if the Dark Emperor card's high level could suppress Creeping Hunger in his Spirit Body and allow it to remain normal.
I'll give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'll immediately end the summoning and return here … This won't take up much time, and there's no danger … Klein picked up Creeping Hunger and wore it over the iron-black glove.
Without any hesitation, he stepped into the Door of Summoning, and with the help of the expanding candle flame, he arrived in the real World.
Without any negligence, Klein's first reaction was to check the state of Creeping Hunger. He discovered that it was peaceful and had submitted to the Dark Emperor card's high level.
Not bad … Klein heaved a sigh of relief and placed the mystical items such as Aztec's copper whistle, Biological Poison Bottle, and Sun Brooch into his body.
Finally, he picked up the black hardwood cane and prepared to use it to search for the "lost" iron cigar case that had been tainted with the gray fog's aura.
Of course, to find Cavituis's hiding place, he had to first enter the spirit world and locate it from within. Otherwise, it would only result in failure.
As for the problem of entering the spirit world, Klein didn't consider the three methods provided by Mr. Aztec. As a Spirit Body with intelligence and the ability to think, how could he not be able to find the spirit world and enter it?
He calmed down a little and visualized the scene of countless spheres of light gathering. His body and mind quickly calmed down, and his thoughts gradually emptied. Bit by bit, his spirituality extended and unfurled.
Soon, he discovered that his surroundings were filled with indescribable illusory and transparent objects. All the colors had become bright and distinct, but they overlapped with each other. The gray fog was so faint that it was like nothingness enveloped everything.
In the depths, high up in the sky, there were seven lustrous lights of different colors slowly swimming about. They seemed to be alive and contained endless knowledge.
This was the spirit world. It completely overlapped with reality and was everywhere.
If I happen to encounter the Mandated Punishers or military personnel, I'll end the summoning and return above the gray fog … Klein took a step forward and entered the spirit world in a simple manner. He felt his body turn illusory.
The black cloak behind him gently fluttered as the hardwood cane in his hand stood upright.
He spoke in a deep and dignified voice.
"The location of my exclusive iron cigar case."
…
As he muttered, Klein inexplicably tensed up. This was because in the rich and distinct colors around him, pairs of indifferent and strange eyes looked over.
After repeating it seven times, Klein released his palm and waited for the revelation.
The black hardwood cane floated up and floated forward at an unhurried pace.
Klein followed it and flew through the real and illusory, strange and mysterious spirit world.
Here, as long as one didn't have a fixed position, it was very easy to get completely lost and never get out.
Of course, this wasn't a problem for Klein. If he really got "lost," he could end the summoning and directly return above the gray fog.
Klein chased after the black cane that was thrown up and down from time to time. He shuttled through the distinct and overlapping colors, passing by half-hidden spirit world creatures that couldn't be accurately described. It was difficult to know how far he was from his destination.
Suddenly, he saw an eye. It was a round eye with distinct black and white.
The eye looked at him without blinking. It didn't have a head, nor did it have a corresponding body.
