At that moment, Klein had a general idea of what was going on.
Due to the law of Beyonder characteristic convergence, he had been targeted by the Spirit World Plunderer the moment he entered Calderón City's periphery, which didn't even have ordinary undead. It had first moved the gilded disc of unknown origins to the side of the prophesied path, allowing him to see it through his marionette. This allowed him to divert his attention to Calderón City's transformation of living creatures. Following that, it had used the giant blacksmith, who wasn't its soul avatar, to further numb him. Finally, it stealthily infiltrated the range of control and succeeded in one strike.
If I hadn't seen the deceased hanging in the chapel like wind chimes and had an instinctive fear of High-Sequence Beyonders of the Seer pathway, I would've already become a Spirit World Plunderer's avatar just now … If it wasn't for the fact that I had an instinctive fear of the High-Sequence Beyonders of the Seer pathway, I would've already become a Spirit World Plunderer's avatar …
Seriously, before entering, I should've thought of the law of Beyonder characteristic convergence … After wielding the Sea God Scepter, even with the Tyrant card's suppression, I was still a little rash. I actually missed out on such an important detail …
On the surface, I'm indeed as careful as ever, but in fact, I've unknowingly become rash. Furthermore, I don't think so … As Klein's thoughts raced, he once again raised his bone scepter-wielding arm, hoping to continue using Lightning Storm to attack in an area-of-effect manner.
If one wasn't enough, he would do it a second time. If two wasn't enough, he would do it a third time. In short, he had to seize this opportunity to prevent the Spirit World Plunderer from escaping the range of his firepower!
This was the safest method, and it was also the combat style that Klein adored the most. If it wasn't for the fact that Lightning Strike had been greatly weakened in Calderón City, he suspected that he could've picked up the Beyonder characteristic by now.
And having digested most of the Sequence 5 potion, his spirituality was enough to last for a while!
At this moment, the invisible figure in the translucent white robe ignited with pale-white flames. A few hundred meters away, the same flames soared into the sky.
The Spirit World Plunderer used Flaming Jump, which was much more powerful than Klein's, to instantly open up a distance!
At the same time, a four-meter-tall bluish-black giant stood up shakily from the rubble it had been hiding in.
The giant's chest and abdomen were blasted open, and his organs could no longer be seen. However, he was like a mountain or a fortress that stood between Tyrant and the Spirit World Plunderer, blocking everyone's line of sight.
And in Klein's eyes, the other party's Spirit Body Threads had gathered together and extended towards the distant Spirit World Plunderer. It was obvious that it was a soul avatar.
At the tip of the Sea God Scepter, a blue gem lit up. A few bolts of lightning leaped out of thin air and twisted into a bundle, transforming into a giant silver arrow that instantly struck the bluish-black giant's head.
All of the invisible defenses were shattered like paper. The giant's head exploded and turned into countless pieces of charred flesh that splattered in all directions. His headless body was stained with pale green gas that evaporated and dissipated, taking away all of his vitality.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Klein, wearing the papal tiara and papal robes, raised the bone scepter in his hand even higher.
The green and blue light rippled out in circles, and the wind blew his cloak.
Dark clouds rapidly gathered in a large portion of Calderón City's periphery, stacking down, making the area appear darker and more repressive.
Pa! Pa!
Raindrops the size of soybeans struck the ground one after another, stirring up some dust that had accumulated over time.
Whoosh!
The raindrops became heavier and heavier, forming a storm that could be described as a disaster.
The rainwater extinguished the pale-white flames as they gathered into a stream that surged downwards, heading straight for the lowest point of the city, straight for the end of the deep crater.
Under such weather, Klein's Flaming Jump was rendered useless. It was the same for the Spirit World Plunderer!
However, for a Tyrant, his spirituality spread out with the help of the dark clouds, as though he had transformed into a deity that overlooked the land.
Every dark cloud and every raindrop became Klein's eyes, allowing him to easily find the Spirit World Plunderer in the region with the changing weather.
This invisible figure in a translucent white robe was hiding behind a broken pale-white pillar. It didn't leave the periphery and enter the core zone.
Boom!
With a deafening clap of thunder, bolts of lightning interweaved into a silver beam that shot out of the dark clouds at the Spirit World Plunderer.
Relying on its powerful spirituality, the invisible figure burrowed into the ground half a second ahead of the others.
One, two, three thick beams of silver-white light struck the area, causing the soil to melt and sink downwards, forming a charred pit.
The Spirit World Plunderer appeared from the other side as it hurriedly dodged to other spots, sometimes to the right and sometimes to the left, like a slithering snake.
However, no matter where it fled to, the silver lightning would always catch up to it. It even blocked the path ahead of time, preventing it from leaving the storm zone.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the dark clouds, the deity that looked down at the Spirit World Plunderer was like a Tyrant. It brandished its silver scepter and struck its target again and again, nearly succeeding several times.
Klein turned more anxious, wishing that he could immediately end the hunt. Therefore, he powered the Sea God Scepter without any reservations, making the lightning strike land even more frequently.
Suddenly, he felt an intense sense of exhaustion.
This jolted Klein awake as he realized that something was amiss.
The Spirit World Plunderer clearly had the chance to retreat to the lower levels of Calderón City, so why did it stay nearby?
It's clearly a spirit world creature without a corporeal body. It can burrow underground to avoid the lightning and the Tyrant's gaze, so why is it circling around from time to time?
It's luring me to attack. From my Spirit Body Threads and my control over my marionettes, it has sensed that I'm not at the level of a demigod. It wants to drain my spirituality! Klein was alarmed. Combined with his initial encounter, he truly realized that the Spirit World Plunderer was an intelligent and rather cunning creature.
At the same time, he thought of a problem.
Would the Lightning Storm and the dark clouds attract the attention of the dangerous existences in Calderón City's core?
I'm just too rash. I keep ignoring critical details … As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Klein put away the Sea God Scepter.
The torrential rain came to a stop as the dark clouds in the sky quickly dispersed. The surrounding weather returned to normal.
Klein made Enzo return to his side with the Word of the Sea. Together with Admiral Hell Ludwell, they protected each other from the inside.
Right on the heels of that, the man and two marionettes walked towards the entrance, as though they wished to leave Calderón City before their spirituality was left.
During this process, Klein kept his Spirit Body Threads vision activated to guard against the approach of the Spirit World Plunderer.
He had noticed that the creature's Spirit Body Threads were very unique. A portion of it drilled out from its body and extended outwards normally, while a portion of it came from the outside. The strands gathered into thick bundles and drilled into the translucent white robe.
Klein suspected that this was the state the Spirit World Plunderer was in when it controlled a soul avatar. It was different from a Marionettist.
As his gaze moved, he suddenly saw illusory black threads boring out from a collapsed building. A portion of them gathered into thick bundles, and the source seemed to come from afar.
Without any hesitation, Klein raised the Sea God Scepter in his hand and produced a loud thunderous boom.
Boom!
Amidst the shocking sound, Admiral Hell Ludwell suddenly raised his left hand.
Half his body instantly turned illusory as his arm and forearm extended infinitely, grabbing at the collapsed building.
Midway, his palm turned abnormally pale. An illusory face appeared as it spat out a snake-like tongue. Its surface was covered in white fur.
This tongue shot out a great distance, passing through the wall and stabbing into the spot where the Spirit Body Threads were gathered. It directly sucked out a distorted and blurry soul.
Around the soul, a portion of the Spirit Body Threads suddenly vanished as though they never existed.
This portion was formed into a thick bundle that came from afar!
They were fake!
The Spirit World Plunderer was actually able to forge fake Spirit Body Threads or instantly switch the location of a soul avatar and the main soul!
Klein suddenly turned his head and looked elsewhere. Indeed, he saw a blob of Spirit Body Threads swimming out from underground at high speeds.
He used the Sea God Scepter once again, making the thunderous boom that could shock Spirit Bodies stick close to the ground and produce an explosion.
At the same time, Winner Enzo expended some of his remaining luck to augment his target with bad luck. Furthermore, he made the tip of the Word of the Sea shoot out a silver bolt of lightning.
The bolt of lightning was rather lucky as it passed through a crack and entered the ground. It struck the assailant, causing a portion of the Spirit Body Threads to vanish instantly.
This was also fake!
Just as Klein reacted, his thoughts came to a halt as his body turned numb.
Just as he opened his mouth with great difficulty, as though he was about to command the mystical item, the invisible figure in the translucent robe suddenly descended from the sky and landed in front of him.
The Spirit World Plunderer had been hiding high in the sky, using the grayish-white clouds to conceal himself!
The moment the invisible figure appeared, transparent maggots crawled out from the neckline. They were covered in strange patterns.
With just a glance, Klein's mind exploded. Although he had escaped the control of the Spirit Body Threads, he had completely lost his ability to think.
On his face under the shadow of the triple crown, granulation after granulation protruded. Each granulation was slightly transparent, like a wriggling worm.
If not for the Tyrant card supporting him, he would've collapsed to the ground in pain, rolling and struggling.
The Spirit World Plunderer actually had a Mythical Creature form!
At this moment, the invisible figure in the white robe was able to truly control Klein's Spirit Body Threads without any obstruction. In a few seconds, it was close to success.
Just as its prey was about to become its avatar, the Spirit World Plunderer suddenly saw Klein open his mouth with great difficulty and spit out a word.
He had recovered from the state of nearly losing control earlier than it had expected. And the word was in ancient Hermes:
"Fate!"
This was the incantation to activate the Fate Siphon charm!
If Klein really wanted to retreat, he would've long grabbed his two marionettes and ended the summoning, returning above the gray fog instead of slowly moving towards the entrance of Calderón City.
He was setting up a trap for the Spirit World Plunderer!
The reason why he was able to recover so quickly from the trauma of seeing a Mythical Creature form and recite the word in time was because he had experienced too much in this aspect. Furthermore, although he wasn't sure what method the other party would use, there was always a more versatile method. It was to make the target unlucky.
When Klein first entered a sluggish state, his first reaction wasn't to let the mystical item sing, but to let Winner Enzo expend all his remaining luck, making the Spirit World Plunderer sufficiently unlucky!
