In the ruins filled with seawater and half-fused with the spirit world, the black-armored Klein stood by the door of the central hall. Inside was the blue snake that had been gnawed on, and the old priest whose abdomen was bulging.
The latter's skin was grayish-black, as though he had been air-dried for a long time. His eyes shimmered with a blue glow as he stared intently at the "guest" wearing a pitch-black crown, as though he was considering where to start.
Without any hesitation, Klein reached into his body with his right hand and took out a brown, translucent bottle.
Following that, he extended his left palm forward and quickly twisted open the lid. Then, he casually threw the Biological Poison Bottle into a corner of the hall.
The environment here was half-underwater. Apart from Holy Fire, which could incinerate the dead and evil, there were no other flames. This limited the two important powers of Klein's Magicians Sequence. Therefore, he could only push his other advantages to the extreme from the very beginning.
At the same time that he threw out the Biological Poison Bottle, Klein's left glove quickly turned resplendent, as though it was reflecting the afternoon sun.
Around him, the surging seawater was dyed golden as it spread out layer after layer.
This was the power of the Priest of Light in Creeping Hunger — Purification Halo!
Having eaten a portion of Sea God Cavituis's body raw, the old priest naturally wasn't polite. He watched as Klein prepared for battle in a chivalrous manner. The blue glow in his eyes suddenly brightened as his bulging abdomen swelled up.
"Woo!"
An ethereal but shrill sound came from his body, instantly enveloping the entire ruins.
This sound was like the singing of a nightingale's soul. It was beautiful, pleasant, and serene, but it was also bone-chilling as it seeped into one's heart.
Klein froze on the spot. All his thoughts instantly froze in his mind as though they had encountered an extremely cold wave.
The old priest's body instantly swelled up, as though he was a revived Cavituis or a giant that walked out of myths and legends.
Beneath his torn robes, blue, slippery tentacles drilled out. They swirled with silver lightning as they quickly reached out and danced in midair, lashing at the stunned Klein.
Sizzle!
With a burst of silver light, Klein was sent flying and crashed heavily into the doorway. The black armor on his body dimmed, and many cracks appeared on it. The cane in his hand was unconsciously thrown far away.
His mind was abnormally calm. In a situation where it was almost frozen, he didn't even think of using Paper Figurine Substitutes. He took the blow head-on.
If it wasn't for the Dark Emperor card and Aztec's copper whistle reinforcing his Spirit Body, he would've definitely been severely injured or even killed instantly with his Sequence 6 essence.
The tentacles surged over again, slapping downwards.
Klein, who was "electrocuted" awake, rolled nimbly and barely dodged the attack.
He glanced at the other party's physique, then immediately turned around and ran out of the door. He ran without hesitation, resolute, and resolute.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Klein flew and ran, looking like he was fleeing for his life. The old priest's blue tentacles, which were wrapped with silver lightning, chased after him, hoping to pull him back into the hall. However, he would always nimbly turn around and nimbly roll away in time.
Seeing that it was impossible to get what he wanted, the old priest's abdomen swelled up once again. His clear and cold voice resounded throughout the ruins once again.
But this time, Klein was prepared. Although his body was stiff and sluggish, it was soaked through by the seawater, turning into a pile of rotten paper.
The old priest finally moved. He took heavy but fast steps in an attempt to chase after his enemy.
With his massive body, he rushed to the door and slammed into the collapsed roof and walls with a bang!
The door here could originally allow a gigantic creature like Cavituis to pass through, but the collapse of the ruins and the madness of this Sea God before his death had successfully caused the place to collapse. The door was only buried to a height of two meters and a width of one meter. As for the old priest, who was clearly in an abnormal state of mind, he slammed into it and nearly got stuck.
Klein, who had been waiting for this opportunity, immediately stopped and turned around.
He half-closed his eyes, straightened his back, and opened his arms.
A dazzling beam of light surrounded by some golden flames descended from the sky and hit the old priest's body.
The pieces of his robe that were hanging on the surface of his body were immediately set ablaze. His grayish-black skin and flesh fell off piece by piece, melting and evaporating in the pure brilliance.
It was only then that Klein clearly saw what was wrong with the old priest's abdomen.
It was swollen badly, and a few areas were particularly obvious, forming the overall outline of two eyes and a mouth.
It was as if there was a person hiding in the old priest's abdomen, and the person was sticking his face there, trying to crawl out.
Bang!
The old priest exerted force with his legs that were covered in burnt snakeskin, and his entire body crashed out of the collapsed door, sending rocks flying and seawater surging.
He finally escaped the pillar of light, but his body was covered in hideous wounds caused by falling flesh and blood. Even the "face" on his abdomen was covered in melted marks.
Tap! Tap! Tap! The old priest's greenish-blue tentacles danced, bringing with them silver lightning as they lashed at Klein from all directions. The "face" on his abdomen cooperated by letting out sounds that made the Spirit Body "quiet" from time to time.
Klein was either running, rolling, or circling as he calmly dealt with the old priest. One on the left, one on the right, one on the front, and the other on the back, as though they were dancing a wild dance.
During this process, he relied on Paper Figurine Substitutes to withstand the ethereal but cold screams. Occasionally, he would roar and use the wraith's screams to agitate the old priest, forcefully interrupting the "face" on his abdomen before it could make a sound.
As time passed, the crazy old priest suddenly raised his motionless hands and pressed them on his abdomen.
With a tug of his arms, he forcefully tore the mouth that was only an outline into a gash.
Greenish-Blue pus spewed out from within, and dense and sharp teeth grew out.
Another roar sounded as the surrounding seawater surged towards the mouth, forming a terrifying vortex that Cavituis had once created.
Klein, who was dressed as the Black Emperor, was sucked over as the surrounding lightning tentacles retracted in a bid to hug him.
Klein didn't panic. The glove on his left hand quickly turned as though it was made of pure gold.
In midair, his eyes stared at the "face" on the old priest's abdomen and the seawater vortex below. Two blinding bolts of lightning suddenly lit up in his pupils.
Interrogator, Psychic Piercing!
The old priest suddenly froze as the "face" on his abdomen scrunched up. The vortex that emitted a terrifying suction force instantly collapsed.
Amidst the surging waves, Klein lowered his body and shuttled through the weak spots like a fish, dodging the flailing greenish-blue tentacles.
Amidst the constantly flashing silver-white lightning, he rushed to the old priest's side. At some point in time, the color of his glove had turned a pale green.
The muscles on Klein's back bulged as he punched out with both fists, hitting the old priest's thigh near his knee.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
His fists emitted a cold aura, sending the old priest's flesh and blood flying. His right leg was covered in a thin layer of frost, and the surrounding seawater was completely frozen.
This was a Zombie's control over ice-elemental powers!
Amidst the old priest's tragic cries, the tentacles lashed back like whips as the silver-white light illuminated the entire ruins.
At this moment, Klein wasn't greedy. He stopped in time and continuously rolled backward, dodging the crazy attack that had shattered the stone slabs on the ground.
He stood up, and while the old priest was still frozen in place, he made the glove on his left hand emit a sun-like color once again.
Klein straightened his body and took a pose that praised the Sun.
A thick, clear pillar of holy light descended once again, enveloping the huge old priest.
Klein saw the enemy's grayish-black flesh rapidly disintegrating. He saw the "face" on his abdomen melt, revealing the situation inside — inside the old priest's abdomen, the heart, stomach, intestines, and other organs were jumbled together, forming the face of a sea serpent.
Cavituis actually still has some mental strength left … A demigod's will is truly stronger than I imagined … Klein rolled again and dodged the spear-like greenish-blue tentacles.
The tentacles, wrapped in lightning, were melted by the holy pillar of light and stabbed into the ground, twitching, twisting, and squirming.
The clear pillar of light quickly dissipated, and the sinister snake face on the old priest's abdomen stubbornly opened its mouth.
At this moment, the old priest bent his waist and let out a series of violent coughs. The snake face's efforts came to an abrupt halt.
The Biological Poison Bottle was finally effective!
Klein didn't let go of this opportunity. He stood up again, opened his arms, and embraced the Sun.
The pillar of light with many golden flames illuminated the area. The old shaman's figure was first stooped, then shrunk, as if he was evaporating. The snake face on his abdomen completely melted after a shrill scream.
When the light dissipated, the old priest had already returned to his original size. His bones were almost melted, and pieces of grayish-black flesh hung from them.
His aura rapidly dimmed, and his spirit rapidly disintegrated.
Klein rushed over and, relying on his Wraith state, performed spirit channeling.
He wanted to confirm if the old priest was guilty.
He believed that he had to stick to this bottom line. This was not only his own will, but also a precaution against degeneration and madness.
In the blink of an eye, he saw scenes of the old priest presiding over the living sacrifice.
Without any hesitation, Klein extended his left palm and let the long-starved glove taste the delicacy.
The flesh, spirituality, and white bones quickly surged into the hideous mouth in his palm. Blue light seeped out, accompanied by some darkness.
During the spirit channeling, Klein confirmed that the old priest was a Soul Assurer when he was alive. The potion formula and Beyonder ingredients came from the Church of the God of Combat in the Feysac Empire. And when he became a Sea God's Guard, he had already lost his mind and only knew how to obey orders. After Cavituis died, he followed his instinctive desires and ate the flesh and blood of the deity he believed in. Finally, there was a clash of characteristics and he was twisted into a monster.
Just as Creeping Hunger was having its fill, all the Beyonder characteristics on the ground suddenly surged, transforming into a hurricane that swept into the hall and into the white fang that was no longer curved.
Klein looked over and saw that Cavituis's remains had completely collapsed like mud. As for the snake fang that had absorbed all the Beyonder characteristics here, it had turned into a short scepter and was silently stabbed into a half-collapsed pillar.
At the top of the white scepter were tiny blue "gems." Some of them were dyed black with the light of dawn.
Seeing that Creeping Hunger had satisfied its appetite, Klein hurriedly ran into the hall and carefully approached the scepter.
Before he even came into contact with it, he heard layers of illusory pleas. Hallucinations appeared in front of him. He saw believers prostrating themselves in prayer, as well as the Resistance who were wailing endlessly over the destruction of the statue.
PS: I've received two chapters today. Please recommend them ~ Also, correct the first two mistakes. Chapter 64: The timeline in the spirit world. Alger should've said yesterday morning, not this morning. Klein described Cavituis's death less than 20 hours after the Mandated Punishers obtained the Book of Calamity. He changed it to a little more than a day. I don't know why I got the time wrong back then. Also, Alger meant that he had obtained the anesthetic gas for nearly a week, which meant that he had skipped this week's Tarot Gathering. In order not to disrupt Sea God's rhythm, and since he had already explained the change in perspective, there was no need to repeat it.
