Ever since he handed the information regarding the suspected Bizarro Bane Shapeshifter to Mr. World, Derrick had always imagined that the other party might give him a commission to obtain the corresponding materials. However, he wasn't strong enough. Even with his friends, he wasn't able to complete the hunt. Furthermore, such explorations were definitely organized by the six-member council. A private team couldn't travel that far from the City of Silver, so all he could do was temporarily suppress the matter. From time to time, he would use it to spur himself on to improve as quickly as possible.
To his surprise, the expedition team heading for Nois City had already been organized in such a short time. The leader of the team was even Chief Colin Iliad!
Based on the conversation he had with Mr. The Hanging Man and Miss Justice on the Tarot, Derrick quickly came up with a guess.
In the process of exploring the former Chief's mausoleum, Mr. Fool had provided the current Chief with some help, allowing him to foil the Fallen Creator's scheme and successfully resolve the matter. Hence, this Demon Hunter set off from the information he had gathered, hoping to hunt a Shapeshifter to please the deities!
This is an unavoidable attempt to curry favor, and it's also a form of balance … The words of The Hanging Man echoed in Derrick's mind, dispelling his doubts. He seized the moment before he left to pray to Mr. Fool, asking "Him" to inform Mr. World that there would be such an expedition.
He quickly received a response and heard Mr. World say:
"… If hunting Bizarro Bane Shapeshifter is difficult and dangerous, you can lower the requirements and try to obtain its blood.
"As long as you can obtain it, I'll exchange it with the Priest of Light Beyonder characteristic."
Priest of Light Beyonder characteristic? Mr. World already has the Priest of Light Beyonder characteristic? Or could it be that he has locked onto his target and will soon obtain it? Just obtaining blood, with the Chief's strength and the cooperation of the expedition team, there's a high chance of success … Derrick felt relieved as he picked up Thunder God's Roar, walked out of his house, and headed straight for the training field.
Just as he arrived at his destination, he saw Chief Colin Iliad. He had two swords on his back, and he was tall and steady. Just looking at him made one feel at ease.
Beside this Demon Hunter stood another person. She was Shepherd Lovia, who wore a black robe with purple patterns and had slightly curled silver hair.
Lovia, who seemed to be participating in the operation, turned her head. Her light gray eyes reflected Derrick Berg's figure, but there was no fluctuation of emotion.
Derrick was inexplicably alarmed, and he couldn't help but slow down a little.
…
East Balam, above the gray fog.
Klein was deeply impressed with the City of Silver's Chief for taking the initiative to organize a team to explore Nois City. He also informed Little Sun that there was no need to take the risk to hunt. All he needed to do was obtain a tiny bit of the target's blood to complete the mission.
When the time came, he could smear the blood on the surface of Rosell's Travels, bring all his equipment, and "fight" the Bizarro Bane on his home turf to obtain the Beyonder ingredients he needed.
As for whether the World's ability to swallow a person into Rosell's Travels would be isolated by the Forsaken Land of the Gods, Klein had also considered it, and he had thought of a solution. It was to bestow Ge Rosell's Travels to Little Sun, and once he achieved his goal, he could sacrifice him.
In addition, he wasn't worried that Bizarro Bane was a spirit world creature and didn't have blood. This was because the Bizarro Sorcerer potion formula stated very clearly:
"Supplementary ingredients: 200 milliliters of Bizarro Bane's blood …"
There are always more solutions than difficulties … Klein muttered in satisfaction as he returned to the real World.
Before sleeping, he received a reply from Leonard Mitchell. It mentioned that a Worm of Time was only available every other day, and it described the evil spirit in detail.
It can only be provided every other day, and there are only two of them. The grandpa in Leonard's body isn't in a good state … He's unable to leave his territory, and his range of activity is restricted … The common trait is that he has a penchant for devouring the souls of living creatures, and he desires Beyonder ingredients from his pathway when he was alive … That also means that the evil spirit will use Ince Zangwill's body to gather the corresponding ingredients and Beyonder characteristics when he's at an advantage. This is indeed a direction of investigation. Klein held the letter with both hands as he read and pondered.
Suddenly, he recalled something.
Back when he met Ince Zangwill on Midway Island in the Berserk Sea, he was being pursued by a powerful demigod of the Hunter pathway!
This … Could it be the work of that evil spirit?
I previously believed that Ince Zangwill had been entrusted by a particular faction of the royal family to do something against the Republic of Intis, but for some reason, his whereabouts were exposed, and he was pursued by a powerful Beyonder …
From the looks of it, there might be another possibility … That evil spirit desires the Hunter pathway's Beyonder characteristics. At the stage where it can control its body, it would take the initiative to hunt Beyonders of the same pathway. It might've succeeded, or it might've failed. In short, it ended up being targeted by a powerful demigod of the Hunter pathway, who pursued it with his hunting instincts. The more Klein thought about it, the more he felt that the latter theory was close to the truth.
This was the only way to explain how Ince Zangwill, who wielded 0-08, was discovered!
At this moment, Enzo and Ludwell squatted down and began massaging Klein's legs.
I can make a preliminary guess that it's an evil spirit of the Hunter pathway. I'll reply later and get Leonard to lead the Red Gloves in this direction. Sigh, this fellow's acting isn't too good, and he doesn't have any experience in psychology. I wonder if he can do it without leaving any traces. Perhaps, he'll push the blame to a nonexistent informant … Hunter pathway evil spirit, Hunter pathway evil spirit … Klein's pupils dilated as he suddenly sat up straight, leaving the two marionettes at a loss.
He didn't know of many evil spirits he had seen. There was only one, and it happened to be from the Hunter pathway!
It was an evil spirit with Red Angel Medici as its main body, fusing with the remnant psyche of two Sequence 1 angels from the Sauron and Einhorn families!
In the Hunter pathway, there was no evil spirit with a higher status than this one, unless Blood Emperor Alista Tudor still had some remnant psyche.
Previously, Ince Zangwill was in Backlund, and that evil spirit that I don't know if it should be called Medici was also in Backlund.
Later, the evil spirit escaped the seal and went somewhere unknown. As for Ince Zangwill, he was possessed by the evil spirit.
Both sides are evil spirits of the Hunter pathway …
This … Could the one possessing Ince Zangwill be the Red Angel evil spirit? Klein frowned bit by bit. He found it hard to believe his guess, but he also felt that it was very possible!
As his thoughts raced, he found another indirect confirmation.
The characteristic of 0-08 is that once you know it, it will also know you. And as a King of Angels that had survived since the Second Epoch, Red Angel Medici was likely aware of all sorts of information regarding 0-08!
In other words, as long as the evil spirit attempted to recall anything related to 0-08, 0-08 would know of it and establish a connection.
Right, there's also the phrase "happy working with you" … It can't be true, right … But the problem is that I previously guessed that the evil spirit should have a Sequence 1 characteristic. There's no need for it to seek external help. Could it be that it can't digest it? Klein rubbed his temples, feeling a headache. He stood up and entered the bathroom. He took four steps counterclockwise and arrived above the gray fog.
Just as he sat down, he conjured a pen and paper and wrote a divination statement:
"The one possessing Ince Zangwill is the evil spirit sealed in the underground ruins of Alista Tudor."
After examining each word for a few seconds, Klein took off the topaz pendant from his left wrist and used spirit dowsing to do a divination.
This time, the scene he saw when he opened his eyes was:
The topaz pendant remained motionless.
This meant that the divination had failed.
Its level is too high, and there's also the existence of 0-08. Right, that evil spirit also carried an anti-divination and anti-prophecy Red Priest card. With the three combined, it's no wonder I failed … Hmm, this can also be considered a form of confirmation. Klein analyzed the reason and considered what other methods he could use to verify it.
He tapped the edge of the long mottled table with his fingers and silently muttered to himself.
Apart from getting Leonard to guide the Red Gloves in their investigations, I have to do something …
Let's first assume that the one possessing Ince Zangwill is indeed the Red Angel evil spirit. Where would he seek out the Hunter pathway's Beyonder ingredients when he can control his body?
The capital of Intis, Trier? The capital of Feysac, St. Millom? Or could it simply rely on the activation and seal of the Card of Blasphemy to use the law of Beyonder characteristics to attract moths that fly into the fire?
Wait, it mentioned that the descendants of the Medici family are in Bansy Harbor.
Although it's already been destroyed, there might still be something buried there!
Also, the evil spirit that has fused the remnant psyche of the three angels has a strong instinct for provocation. This matches the description of the evil spirit in Leonard's letter. It might have deliberately left something in Bansy …
With this in mind, Klein immediately conjured the figure of The World, German Sparrow, and got him to invite The Hanging Man to make another trip to Bansy to do a more detailed investigation.
After completing this matter, Klein began to consider if he could use the law of Beyonder characteristic convergence to lure Ince Zangwill into a trap once he confirmed that the Red Angel evil spirit was in his body.
Hunter pathway … Hunter pathway … Amidst his thoughts, Klein suddenly thought of the two Hunters who were wandering West Balam.
He frowned slightly and instinctively analyzed the situation.
Although East Balam and West Balam were vast, the distance from the city where Ince Zangwill last appeared to the Northern State of West Balam was very far. Without the ability to "Teleport," even a demigod would probably take ten days to half a month. In theory, Dhaniz and Anderson wouldn't suddenly encounter the Red Angel evil spirit due to the law of convergence. In addition, with their Sequences, it's still too low, but it's not certain …
…
West Balam, Northern State, Cookawa City.
Dhaniz glanced at Anderson beside him and blurted out, "I'm doing an investigation.
"I'm going to do an investigation. Why are you still following me?
"Normally speaking, shouldn't you return to the Fog Sea directly from Behrens Harbor?"
