"Fate!"
Amidst the inarticulate voice, the spot where Ludwell and Ince Zangwill stood darkened, as though they were hidden by two dark clouds.
The Fate Siphon charm!
Klein had used the Worm of Time provided by Pallez Zoroast to create one of the Fate Siphon charms!
In order to prevent 0-08 from seeing through his plans, he had hidden behind the scenes from the very beginning. Not only had he lent Creeping Hunger to Leonard Mitchell, but he had also handed the Fate Siphon charm to his marionette!
Hence, the person who had been "tragically" possessed by the evil spirit changed from Ince Zangwill to Ludwell.
Sauron Einhorn Medici, who was dressed in blood-stained black armor, instantly appeared above Admiral Hell's head. His two eyeballs were instantly filled with tiny blood vessels.
In the hotel room, Klein calmly controlled his marionette. He didn't waver or slow down due to the impact brought about by the evil spirit. Ludwell then tore his clothes and took out the Requiem Mask to cover his face.
At the same time, after hearing the Red Angel evil spirit's words and witnessing "His" exact state, Daly Simone, who felt the immense pressure, seemed to understand something. Not only did she not close the door to the Underworld, but she gritted her teeth and used all her strength to widen the gap.
Bloody arms without skin, slippery tentacles with teeth, and bluish-black vines with a baby's face extended out from behind the door to the Underworld at the same time, grabbing at Ludwell.
This made Admiral Hell, who had planned on completing this step himself, no longer need to do the complicated operations. Taking advantage of the fact that the Underworld in his body had yet to be destroyed by Sauron Einhorn Medici, and the fact that his flesh had yet to rot, he suddenly turned around and charged towards the mysterious and illusory bronze door!
His body and legs were immediately grabbed by the arms, tentacles, vines, and Souls that reached out from behind the door. Together with the hair-raising pulling force, he jumped through the gap in the door and entered the Netherworld.
Upon seeing this, Daly immediately retracted her palm and stopped maintaining the bronze door covered in mysterious symbols.
Clang!
The indescribable illusory door closed heavily as Admiral Hell Ludwell, along with Sauron Einhorn Medici and the Underworld creature, were isolated from the World of the real world.
This was a crucial step in Klein's plan.
Separate the Red Angel evil spirit from Ince Zangwill!
Although he believed that the Red Angel evil spirit was an unstable factor for Ince Zangwill, he still didn't wish to face an evil spirit formed from the death of a King of Angels and two Sequence 1 angels while seeking revenge on a demigod. No one could predict what a Conspirer would do in such a situation.
Therefore, based on the magical powers of the Fate Siphon charm and the characteristics of Ludwell's pathway, Klein came up with a concrete plan. Daly's addition made the entire process smoother and smoother. She didn't leave any gaps that could be easily interrupted, allowing him to successfully send the Red Angel evil spirit into the Underworld!
This way, even if the other party could occupy Admiral Hell's body and use spirit world traversal to return to the real World, it would take a long time. This was because to leave the Underworld, he needed to find an exit. As the Evernight Goddess had already partially grasped Artificial Death, she had a certain level of authority in the Underworld. She definitely wouldn't let the Red Angel evil spirit leave so easily.
Sacrificing a marionette, a high-level charm, and two mystical items in exchange for the Red Angel evil spirit's retreat from the battlefield was definitely worth it to Klein, although it pained him!
As for the Misfortune on Ince Zangwill, on the one hand, it was a continuous state and not a short-term fate. On the other hand, due to the Curse of God, the Fate Siphon charm could only replace a small portion of it. It was unable to make it blank, allowing it to quickly recover. As for Ludwell, he had Winner Enzo's luck, so it wouldn't affect his actions during that period of time.
Such a change was something Leonard hadn't expected, but he had been a Red Glove for nearly a year. He had experience in many Beyonder cases, so he didn't have any doubts or delay. He cast his gaze at the still dazed Ince Zangwill.
When the figure in the black clergyman's robe with one dim eye reflected in his eyes, his expression suddenly warped as though he was facing a shadow in his heart.
It was the shadow of not being able to do anything despite using all his strength. It was the shadow of seeing his Captain and Klein dead after waking up.
As Leonard raised his left palm and pressed the human-skinned glove to his forehead, he clenched the Fate Siphon charm with his right hand and said in a deep voice:
"Fate!"
As the ancient supernatural language resounded, a transparent book condensed in front of Leonard's left glove. It was accompanied by the ethereal chanting of "I came, I saw, I recorded."
Bright and blinding silver lightning leaped out one after another, instantly engulfing Leonard.
"Lightning Storm!"
It was as though Leonard was holding a revolver, aiming it at his Sun and pulling the trigger.
He was committing suicide, but at the same time, he was using the Fate Siphon charm to transfer such a fate to Ince Zangwill!
This was the best way he could think of to use the Fate Siphon charm and Creeping Hunger. It was filled with courage!
Countless bolts of silver lightning swept out, shattering the surrounding darkness. Leonard jolted awake and realized that he was still standing in his original spot. His left palm had yet to be raised, and his right hand had just grasped the Fate Siphon charm.
What he had just done was just a dream!
At that moment, in Ince Zangwill's dark blue eyes that were nearly black, a gloomy darkness was slowly rippling. It was as though it was saying: When did you have the illusion that you weren't dreaming?
In fact, back when Sauron Einhorn Medici was extracted from his body, he had already created a large-scale dream in an attempt to pull all his enemies into it. Unfortunately, the man with the rapier by his waist wasn't affected at all. He easily broke free and even destroyed the entire dream, preventing it from having any effects.
As the danger of spiritual feedback was so obvious, and with the battle between the two Kings of Angels behind him, Ince Zangwill didn't hesitate to create a large-scale slumber once again. At the same time, he pulled Daly Simone and Leonard Mitchell into a dream.
Right on the heels of that, he picked up the Quill of Alzuhod and quickly wrote on the clothes on his arm:
"Ince Zangwill is in a very good state today. He can effectively control his Mythical Creature form, so he has decided to not hold back and use all his strength to escape this place!"
With the final stroke of the classical quill, Ince Zangwill's body underwent a change.
His eyes instantly turned deep black as though they were dyed with ink. The dense patterns around him extended out bit by bit, forming strange and distorted mysterious symbols.
At his waist and ribs, his clothes swelled up as his flesh squirmed. Four skinless arms covered in blood vessels grew out.
The arms were quickly covered in white feathers as a deathly stillness emanated outwards.
At the same time, Ince Zangwill's teeth grew longer and sharper. Their surfaces were embedded with many blurry, tiny faces.
In the blink of an eye, this Nightwatcher was already sprawled on the ground, becoming a strange monster with eight "legs" and white feathers!
The entire square fell into an inexplicable night. The insects in the soil and the bacteria on the floor tiles died one after another, entering an eternal slumber.
This was the combination of the powers of Evernight and Death!
Seeing that Daly Simone and Leonard Mitchell were about to lose their lives in their slumber, a thunderous boom boomed in midair.
Silver-white lightning bolts descended, transforming into a lightning forest that enveloped the incomplete Mythical Creature that Ince Zangwill had turned into.
After sending away the Red Angel evil spirit, Klein didn't stop. Like a marionette who had a preset order, he mechanically took four steps counterclockwise and entered the world above the gray fog. He wore the papal tiara again, wore the papal robe, and picked up the Sea God Scepter!
This was the third act of the drama. Ince Zangwill, who had had "0-08" expended by Adam and had been separated from the Red Angel evil spirit by the Fate Siphon charm, would face the wrath of the Sea God as a Sequence 4 saint!
Klein knew that he didn't have the strength to fight a demigod head-on. Therefore, his plan all this while was to deliver divine punishment above the gray fog after depriving Ince Zangwill of his helper. It was the same as when he fought the Black Emperor pathway's demigod, Qonas Kilgor, at sea.
Even if the demigod was too powerful and he couldn't complete the kill, he still wanted to delay until the archbishop or high-ranking deacon of the Church of Evernight arrived with a Sealed Artifact!
In this plan, there were two points that couldn't be controlled.
First, it was difficult to determine how much use 0-08 would have in the end. Klein's backup plan was to get Winner Enzo to set up a bestowment ritual and be prepared to send Rosell's Travels to the real World at any time. By sending it to the edge of the battlefield, he wanted to see if he could lure the pen away from Ince Zangwill. After all, he guessed that the other party was a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact of the Spectator pathway. It was likely very interested in the special book left behind by the Dragon of Imagination.
Second, Klein didn't have any reference on how powerful the son of the Creator, Adam, was. He believed that it wasn't impossible for this King of Angels to subdue 0-08, imprison the Red Angel evil spirit, and kill Ince Zangwill by himself!
With regards to such a development, Klein had no way of stopping it. All he could do was pray for the Goddess's blessings and fate's love as he patiently waited for the outcome.
Rumble!
The forest of lightning descended, bringing with it an intense aura of destruction.
At this moment, pure darkness surged out from the gaps in the lightning, devouring all the silver.
Right on the heels of that, Ince Zangwill's eight "legs" moved rapidly as he ran out of the area.
He couldn't find a target to attack, nor was he able to lock onto the enemy who had used Lightning Storm. All he could do was hold back his anger and run towards the houses at the edge of the square at high speeds, leaving afterimages behind him.
However, amidst the rumbling thunder, terrifying bolts of lightning descended one after another, firmly trapping Ince Zangwill in the square.
Daly and Leonard had already woken up from their dreams, but the light from the lightning affected their vision. They could only see that Ince Zangwill seemed to have turned into a monster, but they couldn't see the details clearly.
Form of a Mythical Creature … With a solid foundation in mysticism, the duo quickly came to a realization. They hurriedly closed their eyes and retreated to a spot where they could hide.
Seeing that he couldn't escape the lightning strike for a moment, Ince Zangwill immediately retracted one of his "legs." He held the quill 0-08 and wrote on his body as he ran:
"An unknown existence has been attracted by the battle and is very sympathetic towards Ince Zangwill's predicament. It has decided to help him and take him away from the spirit world!"
