Sitting diagonally behind the statue was an elder in a black robe. He wore a hood, and his head was hung low. His eyes were tightly shut, and the white beard by his mouth was long and dense. It was as though it hadn't been trimmed in years, making it impossible to discern his original appearance.
And in Klein's eyes, the bearded elder was even stranger than the figures hanging in midair.
After his Spirit Body Threads extended out from his body, they didn't float high into the sky to gather at the spot that seemed to hide a "magnet." Instead, they circled around his body and returned to where they came from. The source and destination combined into one!
Ordinary Spirit Body Threads originated from a living being's body, and they extended in different directions until they reached infinity. The source of the Spirit Body Threads of the figures hanging from above didn't change, but the destination of the Spirit Body Threads was concentrated at the top of the ancient cathedral. It was obvious that there was a problem.
Is this the reason why he isn't hung up? Or could it be that this is his way of avoiding the danger inside the cathedral? As Klein controlled his Spirit Body Threads to resist the inclination to float upwards, he muttered to himself and guessed at the reason.
Suddenly, he saw a pair of eyes. The eyes were pitch-black like a lusterless water surface.
The elder sitting diagonally behind the statue opened his eyes.
He's still alive!
Klein subconsciously took a step back and arched his body slightly, raising his left palm to block in front of him.
In the indescribable silence and tension that made one's heart palpitate, the eyes of the old man with a pale beard moved slightly. His mouth was half-closed as he spoke in a muffled voice,
He half-closed his mouth and said in a muffled voice, "Finally, another Seer has come here …"
Again? Other Beyonders of the Seer pathway have once entered this cathedral? That's right. Apart from the people who were erased by the Eraser angel, the creatures that disappeared at night in the ruins of the battle of the gods would also appear here. Among them might be a few Beyonders of the Seer pathway who are attempting to find mermaids in those waters or have successfully advanced and are preparing to leave … Seeing that the other party didn't immediately attack him and had the inclination to communicate, Klein forcefully calmed his emotions and asked in thought,
"Why do you say that?"
The black-eyed, white-bearded, hooded old man did not respond directly. Instead, he asked in a muffled voice,
Instead, he asked in a muffled voice, "Do you wish to escape this place?
"I can tell you the method."
Klein wasn't moved as he immediately asked,
"Then why are you still here?"
Since he knew the way to escape from this foggy town, why would he still stay in this dangerous church?
The old man lowered his head and let out a laugh.
"Because I died a long time ago."
"…" Klein's hair stood on end. He was speechless.
In his eyes, this old man was not an existence in the form of a Spirit!
Seeing that there was no response, the elder slowly raised his head and glanced at Klein, who was dressed as a German Sparrow.
"I used my special Beyonder powers to find the Void of this World's history and fate. I sliced out my image and fixed it here, maintaining it until now. As for my body and spirit, they have long died and dissipated."
This ability is incredible … Klein couldn't verify its authenticity, so he could only change the topic.
"Then why did you guide the Seers who entered this place on how to escape?"
The elder's voice was still muffled.
"After you open the door, the history and fate of this place will change. The image I sliced out will also disappear. When that happens, you will see a jar of ashes.
"I only wish that they will be scattered into the Srenzo River near the capital of Intis, Trier. That's my hometown, where I was born.
"Do you understand the name of this place? I don't know how much time has passed in the real World. "
I've been imprisoned here for at least a hundred years? Klein replied frankly, "They still exist."
"Very good."
The elder nodded as though there was phlegm in his throat.
Although Klein didn't really trust the person in front of him, he held onto the idea that knowing more would help him make a comprehensive judgment. He decided not to waste time, lest he was interrupted again.
"Then how should I escape?"
The elder remained sitting in his spot without any obvious movements.
"Do you see the wall behind this statue?
"Is there a depression on it?"
In fact, Klein didn't wish to do as he said. This was because he had previously been lured by Demoness Panatiya and seen her incomplete Mythical Creature form, resulting in him being shocked and injured. However, he had planned on observing his surroundings to search for clues. Therefore, he carefully shifted his gaze and looked at the wall behind the stone statue.
There were short and crude symbols engraved there, but there was an empty space in the middle. It wasn't connected to form a complete shape.
The empty space was about the size of two palms. It was clearly sunken in, as though someone had dug away the stone bricks on the surface.
"As long as you can find the corresponding obsidian stone and place it here, you will be able to extricate this wall from its' concealed 'state and reveal an illusory color. When the time comes, I'll tell you a complicated and special symbol. It's the key to opening the door on the wall." The bearded elder didn't turn his head as he looked straight ahead and explained in detail.
Complicated and special symbol … Key to opening the door … As Klein listened to the ravings of "Hornacis … Flegrea …" behind him, a symbol suddenly appeared in his mind.
It was a vertical eye formed from many concealed symbols!
It was the information that the Antigonus family's notebook had transmitted to him through the infected Misfortune Cloth Puppet!
And the Antigonus family seemed to have a close relationship with the Nation of the Evernight on the main peak of the Hornacis mountain range!
Could this be the so-called key to opening the door? Klein retracted his gaze without batting an eyelid.
He asked, "Why did all the Seers from before fail?"
Sitting diagonally behind the statue, the hooded elder chuckled and said, "Some of them were as naggy as you.
"Some of them were as long-winded as you. They didn't have time to leave the church before the Bloody Moon became clear and were hung up there. The guy who made himself a handsome face was one of them. And the girl with flawless facial features was also one of them."
"…" Klein was nearly rendered speechless by the other party's teasing.
However, he also learned something from this. When the crimson moon turned clear, the danger inside the cathedral would increase exponentially. Even a Nimblewright Master wouldn't be able to control their Spirit Body Threads!
I have to constantly pay attention to the changes in light. Once the crimson moon turns clear, I'll pass through the wall … Klein looked around and confirmed that he was about six to seven meters away from the pitch-black altar's outer wall. Then, he quickly came up with an emergency plan.
The hooded elder didn't look up at him as he continued, "The remaining ones weren't too lucky.
"The rest were unlucky. They encountered enemies who had lost their minds and only wanted food. They were eaten by them.
"As you know, there aren't many Beyonders of the Seer pathway to begin with. There are even fewer who can become Nimblewright Masters. Due to various reasons, the number of people who come here can be counted on one hand.
"Of course, there are many more who are lured here, but it's very difficult to enter. They are all …"
He didn't finish his sentence as he slowly raised his head and looked at the highest point of the ancient cathedral.
Then, he said in a muffled voice, "The outcome is equally tragic."
What do you mean … If I didn't steal the notebook and had to follow the ravings of the corpses hanging in this cathedral, climbing the main peak of the Hornacis mountain range in search of the treasure left behind by the Antigonus family, wouldn't I be one of those who were lured here? It's very difficult to enter here, and the outcome is equally tragic? Klein's thoughts raced as he combined it with the dilapidated palace and translucent maggots he had seen with his divination. He began to suspect that the so-called treasure of the Antigonus family was a trap.
He didn't bother to ask about the matter in detail as he first probed for more important information.
"Do you know where that obsidian rock is?"
The elder chuckled.
"It's in the hands of that Demoness of Despair."
Demoness of Despair. So Panatiya is really the Demoness of Despair … Klein had previously addressed Panatiya as such in secret, but that was because he knew that she was respectfully addressed as Lady Despair, and that she was definitely a Demoness. Therefore, he had simply pieced the two situations together into a nickname. He never expected that a Sequence 4 of the Demoness pathway might really be called Demoness of Despair.
"Then it'll be very difficult for me to obtain that obsidian rock. She's a true demigod." Klein didn't hide his dilemma as he waited for the elder to give him a suggestion.
The old man shook his head and said,
"I am a person who has died long ago, and the help I can provide is very little.
"Hmm … Didn't you have a marionette when you entered?"
"Yes, but it has already been eaten by the Demoness of Despair," Klein replied in a seemingly calm manner.
The elder sighed and laughed.
"I'll help you summon him from this World's history."
Just as he said that, Klein saw lines rapidly outline beside him, depicting Admiral of Blood Señor in his triangular hat and dark red coat. As for the Spirit Body Threads, they were still under his control!
Klein's pupils instantly shrank, and he heard the hooded old man's words.
"It can only last for half an hour. You must make good use of the time.
"I'll help you strengthen your connection a little and increase your control over your marionette. This way, you can make your marionette use your Beyonder powers and instantly swap places with him. Heh heh, the distance you can control and the characteristics of being alive will also be enhanced."
Let my marionette use my Beyonder powers? This way, wouldn't I be able to use the powers of a Faceless to make my marionette become another me? The perfect substitute? This is a demigod of the Seer pathway? This is one of the powers of a Bizarro Sorcerer? The enemy would never know if they killed a real Bizarro Sorcerer? Also, to summon a marionette from history, that's completely unimaginable … Thoughts raced through Klein's mind as he found it difficult to calm down.
The old man looked up at him and continued,
"Give me a paper man."
Klein frowned slightly. After hesitating for a few seconds, he took out a paper doll and handed it to the other party.
The old man stretched out his withered hand, took the paper doll, and casually wiped it.
Klein's headache, fever, nasal congestion, and swollen throat suddenly disappeared!
The paper doll was stained with red rust and quickly became brittle and cracked.
You used my paper doll to help me transfer the disease? Klein thought for a moment and finally asked,
"Please forgive my rudeness just now. How should I address you?"
The old man did not answer immediately. He sighed and said,
"This is all I can offer."
He paused and smiled vaguely.
"You can call me, um …"
"Zaratul."
