The thin human-skinned glove didn't look any different from before, but Klein didn't dare to be careless. He hurriedly used divination to do a rough inspection.
Apart from the five fingers, the palm and back of the palm can each correspond to a Grazed soul …
And currently, all seven spots are filled. Some of the similar Beyonder characteristics show signs of fusing …
I also seem to have additional abilities related to flesh and blood magic …
The speed at which I switch souls has become much faster …
I have to eat one person a day; otherwise, I'll feed on the owner. Heh, Creeping Hunger, you are getting cocky again. Reflect on yourself above the gray fog.
I'm temporarily unable to obtain any revelations. I'll do a more accurate divination above the gray fog after leaving this place.
Yes, I'm not too sure if there are any other negative effects. All I know is that it won't cause me any harm in the short term.
Also, Mr. X, who has been Grazed, isn't affected. The Traveler's Teleportation and Door Opening are still normal.
Klein heaved a sigh of relief and wore the upgraded Creeping Hunger on his left hand. Then, he ran straight for the cathedral, hoping to leave as soon as possible.
And while playing hide-and-seek with the gigantic "mushroom," he hadn't forgotten to use his illusion to make himself a formal suit with a trench coat and a top hat.
As for the Beyonder characteristic left behind by Admiral of Blood Señor, Klein suspected that it was likely in the hands of Demoness of Despair Panatiya. And this demigod was already hanging in the ancient palace, under the watchful eyes of the cluster of transparent maggots.
Sigh, after all, flesh and blood can be slowly eaten as reserves for the future, but the Beyonder characteristic will definitely be irreversibly produced. After all this time, it has long taken form. Even if the Demoness of Despair doesn't place much importance on it and casually throws it somewhere, I won't be able to quickly find it without being connected to the spirit world. With divination greatly restricted, I won't be able to quickly find it. And in such an environment, no one knows if there will be any anomalies or if the obsidian stone slab will automatically teleport away. Therefore, I have to seize the time and escape as soon as possible … Klein's mind was very clear as he returned to the outside of the ancient cathedral and passed through the half-closed door.
Although he had promised Miss Sharon to sell Wraith Señor's Beyonder characteristic to Marić, firstly, the material itself had been corrupted, making it difficult to concoct a potion. Secondly, his safety was more important.
It's not like there's no way to resolve it. At most, I'll hunt another Wraith or seek the help of Snake of Mercury, Will Auceptin, to shatter the blob of Beyonder characteristic in Marić's hand and purify it. Yes, I'll have to wait for a particular fetus to be born … Klein mumbled silently as he passed by the densely packed corpses that shook like wind chimes and arrived at the side of the stone statue.
Along the way, he found the iron cigar case that he had placed on his marionette and hadn't been devoured by the "mushroom." The Aztec copper whistle and Rouen gold coin inside were similarly undamaged.
After putting away these items, Klein controlled his Spirit Body Threads to prevent it from floating to the top of the cathedral as he bent down to pick up the obsidian stone slab.
After confirming that this important item wasn't damaged, he calmed down a little and checked Zaratul's tin urn.
When he opened the lid and took a careful look, Klein's pupils constricted as they instantly froze.
The ashes in the tin urn were all gone!
Not a single bit was left!
Zaratul has already achieved "His" goal? Should I say as expected … Klein threw away the tin urn in bewilderment. He straightened his body and embedded the obsidian stone slab into the wall behind him.
The wall emitted light once again, turning transparent. It allowed him to see the ancient stone bricks, the broken wall, and the floating clouds outside.
Thinking of the cluster of terrifying maggots, Klein wasn't in a hurry to draw the symbol provided by the Antigonus family's notebook. He first raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.
He ignited the trees outside the cathedral, prepared to immediately use Flaming Jump to leave the area if anything went wrong.
After making his preparations, Klein used his fingers as a pen and quickly outlined the vertical eye formed from many hidden symbols. Compared to before, the crescent moon and lines had switched positions.
As he finished his final stroke, pure beams of light shot up and flowed along the complicated vertical eye's runic patterns, gathering and emitting light!
The whole church suddenly became illusory. Everything was turned upside down.
Klein felt as though he had instantly arrived at the top of the hanging corpses. In front of him was an illusory double door, and behind the door was the familiar ancient palace. There were Demoness of Despair Panatiya and company's gently swaying corpses.
Transparent tentacles with strange and mysterious patterns swarmed over and struck the door, but they failed to open it. All they could do was inject a tiny bit of strength in an attempt to "grab" Klein's Spirit Body Threads!
Without any hesitation, Klein snapped his fingers. As he tugged at his Spirit Body Threads, he jumped into the flames outside the cathedral.
Right on the heels of that, he snapped his fingers and repeatedly flashed, fleeing to the furthest point of the foggy town.
When the pitch-black cathedral's illusory feeling vanished, Klein stopped and frowned.
It also leads to the palace with the Runaway Angel …
The symbol provided by the Antigonus family's notebook is the same as the one provided by Zaratul!
However, this symbol seems to only be able to activate the Door of Escape and not open it. Otherwise, there's a high chance that I wouldn't have been able to escape …
It's a symbol for 'entry.' Zaratul's is for 'exit?'
What should I do … How do I get out?
Klein subconsciously surveyed the shrouded and eerily silent town. He forced himself to calm down and think of a way to escape.
Perhaps the wall isn't the only way out, but the possibility isn't high. Over the years, batches of foreigners have come to the foggy town. If there were any clues outside the cathedral, they would've long found them.
Should I try using other symbols?
What should I try …
Klein fell into deep thought as he analyzed the internal connections between various objects to see if he could find any inspiration.
This place is related to the Nation of the Evernight and the Antigonus family. And no matter who the monster on the huge throne in the ancient palace is, it's definitely a Runaway Angel of the Seer pathway …
Zaratul, who is involved in this matter, is also an angel of the Seer pathway. The Antigonus family's notebook, which provided the symbol, is also closely related to this pathway …
Therefore, the correct door-opening symbol should be related to the Seer pathway?
Sequence 0 of the Seer pathway is likely called The Fool … This can be confirmed. Otherwise, the owner of the Card of Blasphemy wouldn't have been attracted to the main peak of the Hornacis mountain range and become a hanged person …
The Fool … The Fool …
As he ruminated over the word "Fool," Klein suddenly thought of himself. He thought of the mysterious symbol behind the high-back chair that represented himself above the gray fog!
Perhaps, I can give it a try? Klein deliberated for a few seconds and decided to make a bold attempt. After all, he had no other solutions for the time being.
He returned to the steepled cathedral, and under the watchful eyes of the hanged people, he walked to the wall behind the statue and picked up the obsidian stone slab that had fallen once again.
After the stone slab was embedded, the door rapidly turned transparent. As Klein snapped his fingers to ignite another tree, he took a deep breath and drew the symbol of The Fool, which was formed from half a Pupil-less Eye and half a Contorted Line.
Soon, he finished the finishing touches as he tensed up.
But this time, the transparent door didn't change at all.
It's useless … Klein's expression turned bitter bit by bit. He suspected that he would be trapped here forever, fighting the Beyonders that entered later until he starved to death or was eaten.
He shook his head and threw away his feelings of despair. He reorganized his thoughts and searched for other clues.
This place is related to the Nation of the Evernight and the Antigonus family. And they were all destroyed by the Church of Evernight …
The Eraser angel that sent me in is suspected to be the Mother of the Sky. It's active at the bottom of the Church of Evernight's Saint Samuel Cathedral …
The reason why people who don't sleep at night in the ruins of the battle of the gods disappear is said to be because of the remnant aura or powers of the Evernight domain …
Therefore, this is clearly a place related to the Evernight authority, or even the Evernight Goddess, uh, the Goddess.
The more Klein thought about it, the more guilty he felt. He had originally analyzed the problem from an objective point of view, but he had unknowingly changed the way he addressed the Evernight Goddess.
And this also gave him a new train of thought.
Perhaps I can try the corresponding symbol of the Dark Sacred Emblem, or the symbol that symbolizes the Goddess in mysticism?
With the mentality that he had nowhere else to go, Klein exhaled and raised his right hand again, drawing the simple symbol of the Dark Sacred Emblem.
All of a sudden, the scene behind the transparent door rippled like water, and a change occurred.
Although he could still see the ancient palace and the holes in the walls, they were very far away this time. He could only vaguely see them!
Behind the door was a bottomless cliff. There were jagged rocks, clouds floating in midair, and the stars and crimson moon that hadn't been obscured by the sunlight. It looked like a part of a mountaintop!
… It really works … Klein gaped at this scene as he subconsciously stretched out his palms and pushed open the door.
The wind outside was light and cold as it hummed.
Just as Klein was about to take a step out, he fell into thought and paused.
Then, he threw out a gold coin and did a divination. He received a revelation that there was no danger outside.
Right on the heels of that, he drew a crimson moon on his chest.
After doing all of this, Klein took a step forward with his right foot and passed through the illusory door.
His vision darkened as he saw the endless night and resplendent stars. Then, he realized that he was on a mountaintop. Apart from the snow that hadn't melted yet, jagged rocks, and the morning sun, there was nothing else around him.
I'm out … safe? Without further observation, he made Creeping Hunger turn transparent and attempted to activate his "Traveling" powers.
If he succeeded, it meant that he had left the foggy town and returned to the real World. He could then take the opportunity to leave his current location and avoid danger. If he failed, he could quickly understand the situation and be prepared for any possible attacks.
Moments later, Klein's body faded and vanished. And in front of him, the redness turned redder and the whiteness turned whiter. Countless indescribable shadows appeared.
He had successfully entered the spirit world!
