The huge black and white eye appeared translucent as it quietly floated behind the rich, bright overlapping colors. There was no sign of hostility or friendliness.
At that instant, Klein recalled a passage in Sights in the Spirit World. The ancestor of the House of Abraham had said, "Try not to look into the eyes of any spirit world creature for more than three seconds.
"Try not to stare at any spirit world creature for more than three seconds. This is considered a provocation, unless they have already expressed a message that they want to communicate. Also, don't make yourself appear panicked and nervous, which will increase the desire of certain predators to attack."
The corresponding words flowed through his heart as Klein retracted his gaze and continued to "chase" the hardwood cane flying in front of him at a moderate speed.
He was wearing black full-body armor, a pitch-black crown, and a cloak of the same color. His figure entered the round eye and quickly flashed past, disappearing without triggering any changes.
In essence, the spirit world is a very dangerous place. If I'm not careful, I might encounter a terrifying existence at the demigod level … As Klein continued traversing, he realized that it was rather chaotic. Although the seven lustrous lights, which could have marked his location, were always located high up, covering the "sky," he could often see "Them" beneath his feet, left, and right.
If it weren't for the black cane's positioning, Klein wouldn't have been able to tell the direction at all.
Suddenly, through the thin fog of nothingness, he saw a floating castle on his lower left. It was completely black, with a towering spire and covered in vines. It had a Gothic feel to it.
At the top of the castle stood a translucent woman. She was almost as tall as the castle, and she wore a complicated, gorgeous, and gloomy black dress. She didn't have a head, and there was a neat cut on her neck. Her drooping hands held four blonde, red-eyed, and bright-looking heads. If one looked carefully, they would discover that these heads were identical.
When Klein, who was dressed as the Black Emperor, passed by, the four heads that the woman was holding blinked at the same time.
Klein didn't respond as he continued flying forward as though he didn't see anything.
The woman slowly turned around and let the heads in her hands watch him leave.
What kind of monsters are these … Just as this thought flashed through Klein's mind, he saw the black cane rapidly "fall."
He hurriedly chased after it and once again tasted free fall.
Seven or eight seconds later, a faintly discernible collapsed building appeared in front of him.
Outside the building floated a spirit world creature that resembled a giant jellyfish. It extended transparent tentacles covered in mucus and made the surrounding area its' territory. '
At the tip of each tentacle was a white skull with deep eyes. As the tentacles swayed slowly and gently, they swayed continuously.
The black cane passed through the strange spirit world creatures and hovered in front of the nearly illusory collapsed building.
Found it? Klein was delighted at first, but then he looked at the giant "jellyfish" that was waving its skull.
He was prepared for battle, but he didn't immediately take action. Instead, he attempted to emit the deep and dignified aura brought about by the Dark Emperor card's high-level characteristics. His gaze was indifferent as he looked into the dark and deep eye sockets.
After three frozen seconds, Klein said in a deep voice in ancient Hermes, "That's right, it's not a problem.
"Leave!"
The tentacle on top of the skull twitched twice, and the giant "jellyfish" slowly floated up and disappeared into the depths of the spirit world.
This Dark Emperor card is still quite useful … I'm even considering if I should throw Mr. Aztec's copper whistle. A descendant of Death should still have some reputation in the spirit world … Klein heaved a sigh of relief, descended, and held the black, hardwood cane.
Then, he fell into the ruins of the collapsed building with a hint of anticipation.
To him, even if the Church of the Storm and the royal army had already found this place ahead of time and taken away the most valuable items, he would still be satisfied as long as there were some leftovers.
Even if there's nothing left, it's enough to study the elven ruins and see what information they left behind … Klein passed through the curtain-like "barrier" of nothingness and suddenly felt the surrounding air turn viscous and heavy.
Waves of light appeared around him. It came from the dark blue seawater that filled the area.
At the bottom of the seawater was an ancient and gloomy ruin. All the buildings had already collapsed or half-collapsed.
A huge pillar engraved with strange patterns and symbols extended out from the middle. It seemed to go straight to the top, as though it had supported this place in the past. But now, it had snapped and was leaning against the top of a nearby building.
Klein recognized this place and this pillar. This was where Sea God Cavituis was hiding, a hidden place where reality and the spirit world fused.
At this moment, an indignant, painful, angry, and crazy roar echoed for a long time without weakening. It was the resentful roar that Cavituis had let out before his death.
It's indeed dead … Klein held the black cane and landed on the bluish-gray stone path in front of the ancient ruin.
On both sides of the path were pillars that weren't considered thick or tall. On them were strange patterns that were different from the symbols and magic labels.
And at the bottom of each stone pillar sat a figure. Some of them wore ancient robes, while others wore the trendy brown jackets.
The moment they sensed someone approaching, they picked up their swords, axes, and other weapons. With stiff but agile movements, they got up and turned towards Klein, revealing their grayish-black faces that had been weathered for a long time and their shriveled bodies that were devoid of any flesh or blood.
Their fanatical and numb gazes were cast at Klein, who was wearing a pitch-black crown and black armor.
Cavituis's devout believer … However, this also means that the Church of the Storm and the royal army haven't found this place … Klein sighed and injected his spirituality into the Brooch of the Sun and muttered a word in ancient Hermes:
"Holy!"
He activated the Holy Oath that came with the Brooch of the Sun. Through the corresponding ancient Hermes word, he temporarily increased his attacks' holy damage.
Pa!
Klein shook his wrist and swung his cane.
He crouched down slightly and charged at the first Sea God Guard that ran over.
While running at high speeds, Klein suddenly turned his left side and dodged the enemy's cleaving axe. He then swung his forearm and used his cane to leave a clear grayish-white mark on the enemy's body.
Clear golden flames silently soared up from the mark, instantly enveloping the Sea God Guard, burning it until it was on the verge of collapse.
Thud!
Klein exerted force with his feet and leaped past the enemy.
Behind him, the completely dried Sea God Guard finally collapsed, turning to ashes in the golden flames. Thud!
Thud! Thud! Thud! Klein kept his back low as he quickly moved forward. From time to time, he would turn his body sideways and at other times, he would pass by the Sea God Guards.
At the same time, he brandished his cane, lashing, stabbing, slashing, and leaving different marks on the mummified guards.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Klein passed through this path and arrived in front of the half-collapsed ruin.
Behind the black cloak he gently raised, the Sea God Guards turned into golden torches, illuminating the bluish-gray stone slabs and the patterned pillars.
Amidst the chaotic dance, the guards collapsed one after another, never to move again.
Klein walked up the stairs and entered the building where the half-collapsed pillar was.
The first thing that entered his eyes was an unimaginably huge bluish-blue sea serpent. Its scales were slippery and covered in patterns that resembled the various symbols in the ruin.
It opened its huge mouth and bit down on the pillar, and its curved milky-white fangs pierced in.
Below its head, its body hung to the ground, coiling around a third of the vast hall like an undulating blue hill. However, it was covered with all kinds of wounds, some of which were badly mutilated, and some of which even revealed its bones.
Its body had already produced specks of mysterious bluish-blue light. They quickly gathered towards a tooth that was longer than a human's arm, causing the slightly curved sharp bone to slowly straighten.
Its dying howl echoed intensely, causing Klein's corporeal Spirit Body to show slight signs of instability.
At this moment, beside Cavituis was an elder wearing a clergyman's bonnet.
His hair was white, and his body was like gray rock. His face was close to the snake's body, and his throat produced an indiscernible sound. It was unknown what he was doing.
Around the gigantic snake body were dried corpses that seemed to have been eroded by the wind. They were the same as the Sea God's Guards outside, but they were even more bizarre. Their abdomens were swollen and even ruptured. In addition, their mouths were stained with dark red blood, and there were greenish-blue strips of flesh hanging from them.
Similarly, bluish-blue light seeped out from their bodies and surged towards the white fang that was gradually straightening.
Before Klein could think about what such a scene meant, the elder who was sprawled on Cavituis's body and wearing a clergyman's bonnet shakily straightened his body and turned around.
His eyes shimmered with a bluish-blue glow, and the corners of his mouth were blood-red as his teeth tore at a piece of meat.
Where his face had been, Cavituis's snake body was in a mess. It was missing a lot of flesh and blood, and his bones could almost be seen.
He was eating Sea God Cavituis's corpse raw!
This … Klein frowned as he roughly understood what had happened.
After Cavituis died, the priests and guards in the hall lost control and began to crazily devour its flesh.
At this moment, the Beyonder characteristic had yet to completely seep out. Cavituis's body contained a rather large portion of it, and as a result, many guards suffered from excessive "potions" or conflicting characteristics of different pathways. They collapsed on the spot and died completely.
However, there were always lucky ones who survived the sudden death stage. They would either lose control and become a disgusting monster, or they would directly skip several Sequences and become a powerhouse. Or, due to the mixing of different pathways' characteristics, they would become lunatics with twisted and evil powers.
And no matter which one it was, it was a rather dangerous thing!
Klein's gaze moved down from the surviving priest's face to his belly that was bulging like a pregnant woman's.
It was bulging and contracting forcefully, as though there was a huge heart there.
