Part 4 The Undead Chapter 197 The True Soul Body
”Destiny!”
Amidst the echoes of the long, hard words of the ancient Hermetic language, the spot where the Spirit World Marauders and Klein had been suddenly dimmed for a moment.
It was that inconspicuous, like a cloud that happened to drift by in mid-air without stopping.
But when the illusion-like shadow faded, the “invisible man” wearing translucent white robes had already frozen in place, the surface of the clothing could not be contained, highlighting traces of worm-like writhing, stagnant, slow, difficult.
On the other side of it, Klein’s eyes had completely regained their clarity, and his face had lost its buds under the shadow of the triple crown.
It looked as if it wasn’t the Spiritual Marauder that was manipulating Klein’s “Spiritual Thread” and was close to succeeding, but rather Klein was manipulating the Spiritual Marauder’s “Spiritual Thread” and was about to transform the other party into a secret puppet!
The “Stealer of Fortunes” spell, which aligns destinies!
This advanced spell made with the “Worm of Time” can steal the fate of the target and swap it by grafting its own future in a shorter period of time onto the other party.
Therefore, Kraven and the Spiritual Predator had switched positions, one had turned from death to life, and the other had fallen from victory to extinction in an instant.
After confirming that the spirit predator was intelligent, extremely difficult to deal with, and not easy to hunt, Klein was performing a retreat, seemingly reckless but deliberately letting himself fall into the control of the spirit predator step by step, luring it to appear, and always ready to use the “Luck Stealer” spell at the critical moment!
In that way, how ruthless the Spirit World Predator was to its enemies, how desperate its own situation would be!
Of course, if the “Luck Stealer” spell didn’t work, or if the Spirit Plunderer’s main spirit didn’t appear and relied on other methods to control the situation, Klein still had a last resort to protect himself, which was to end the summoning, return to the gray mist, and use the loss of two secret puppets and a few magical items to exchange for his own safety.
Not bothering to be surprised that the “Luck Stealer” spell was so magical, and that the “Stealer” pathway angel was so terrifying, Kraven did not hesitate to raise the “Scepter of Poseidon” in his hand before the fateful pairing was over. “He did not hesitate to raise the Scepter of Poseidon in his hand.
His deep blue papal vestments unfolded in the wind, and his golden triple crown reflected a greenish blue and silver-white light, and the tip of the white bone scepter instantly erupted with lightning bolts, which intertwined to form a ball and landed on the Spirit World Predator!
The silver and white blazed out in a great blaze, flooding the target and illuminating the surrounding area in white.
Once, twice, three times, Krynn continued to catalyze the terrifying ball of lightning, not skimping on his own spirituality.
Finally, he heard a hiss that seemed to originate from the depths of his soul, and intuitively sensed that his target had disintegrated and collapsed.
Kraven lowered the Scepter of Poseidon and watched the silver-white lightning dissipate.
At this moment, his entire spiritual body has become quite illusory, even with the support of the “tyrant”, but it does not seem real enough.
As the lightning faded away, the “invisible man” in translucent white robes once again appeared in Klein’s eyes.
A little bit of obscure light emerged from the inside, the spirit world predator as a whole steeply split into countless illusory bubbles, one by one broken.
”The Tyrant’s hunt was successful.
Right at this moment, the deeper area of Calderon suddenly shook violently, as if a huge monster had awakened due to the death of the Spirit World Predator, or countless dangerous creatures had come out as a result.
The ineffable sensation actually connected into an illusory gray and white, like a flood, rising layer by layer from the off-bottom zone.
Other Spirit World predators? No, like more terrible and terrifying creatures that the Spirit World Marauders served? Also, the core area of Calderon, the end of the deep pit in the ground, was still so quiet, not a single sound emanating from it, which made it feel even more frightening …… Klein steeled himself, distractedly keeping an eye out for the movements of the inner layers of Calderon while anxiously waiting for the Spirit Realm Marauder’s traits to precipitate out and polymerize into materials.
For the time being, he didn’t have the elation of a successful hunt, only the tightness of teetering on the edge of the abyss.
During this process, Klein let “Winner” Enzo and “Hell Admiral” Ludwell close to him, and threw the “Neptune Scepter” to the former to hold, so that he could get rid of his violent and impulsive state, and more calmly think. He threw the Scepter of Poseidon to the former, so that he could get rid of his impulsive state, and think more calmly about how to deal with the changes that might happen next, and whether there were any other details that had been left out.
With a flash of thought, Klein snapped to mind something:
When he had made the magical object sing, the “Creeping Hunger” had praised the “True Creator” and chanted its full name.
Although the leather gloves were in Hermetic language, not ancient Hermetic language, which could leverage the forces of nature, the latter could also be useful in the realm of rituals! This also meant that the “Real Creator” had probably heard the praise of the “Creeping Hunger” and noticed what was happening here.
In addition to the rising “gray flood” and the horrible creatures in the depths of the city, there are other dangers. …… Wait, I’m a spirit now, which is slightly equivalent to a ghost, not a normal state. …… Klein’s mind just turned a thought, inspiration suddenly touched, instinctively turned his eyes to the entrance of Calderon.
There was a flash of light and a figure came in.
The figure was clad in simple and plain linen robes, with long silver-colored hair.
He was a male, with soft features, a beautiful face, and eyes that were gentle with a hint of indifference, as if he was watching fate and everyone in the world as a spectator.
Behind him, ray after ray of light formed illusory layers of pure feathers that spread outward, obscuring the entire entrance area.
”……” hissed Klein, almost through his teeth, as a series of nouns flashed through his mind:
”Urolius!”
”Tail Swallower!”
”Angel of Destiny!”
”King of Angels!”
Not bothering to consider the feasibility of the idea he had just had, his body expanded as if it had no substance, encompassing both Secret Puppet Enzo and Ludwig, and encompassing the remnants of the Spirit World Predator’s bubble that was still precipitating and fusing its properties!
At this moment, Urolius’ silver eyes had already reflected the figure in the distance – an extremely majestic and tyrannical figure wearing a triple crown and dark blue vestments, as well as a grayish mist that was extremely blurred by the “Tyrant” aura.
A river with flickering waves appeared in both of K’s eyes, encircling the figure of the “tyrant” and surrounding the outer area of Calderon.
Without a sound, the square houses and pale pillars that had been destroyed in the lightning storm were re-erected, and the giant blacksmith, who had only two blackened toes left, once again possessed a body and appeared in the mausoleum, banging on the anvil.
All these things are back to the way they were when the tyrant entered not long ago.
However, Klein, dressed as the Pope, had disappeared, and so had his two secret puppets and the remnants of the Spirit World Marauder Bubble.
The corresponding figures could not return, and the scene that had just been restarted was shattered, returning to the devastated state it had been in after the battle.
The “Tail Swallower” Urolius just quietly watched, did not move for a long time, Calderon depths of the rising “gray” is a little bit back down.
……
Above the gray mist, Klein sat down on the high-backed chair of the “Fool”, so tired that he couldn’t even let Enzo and Ludwig squeeze his shoulders and legs.
”The Scepter of Poseidon had been thrown back into the clutter pile, the Tyrant card had left his soul and was clasped upside down next to the Black Emperor card, and the remnants of the Spiritual Marauder’s bubble were floating in front of him, constantly analyzing the extraordinary The remaining foam of the Spirit Predator floated in front of him, constantly analyzing its extraordinary properties and combining with the points of light.
After a moment’s reprieve, Klein saw a speck of grayish dust fall to the surface of the mottled table, accompanied by a seemingly weightless, transparent object.
The thing was palm-sized, twisted by a worm-like thing, almost humanoid, filled with a colorless liquid, often bubbling, emitting a black aura.
Klein didn’t dare to look closely, because the weightless, transparent thing had a much richer structure in its subtleties, forming an unnamable pattern, symbols that seemed to incorporate concepts such as knowledge, power, change, secrecy, weirdness, and madness directly into it, making them no longer abstract.
This gave Klein an intense vertigo, and even a feeling that his spirit was close to collapsing and that his soul was about to go out of control.
”This should be the real soul body of the Spirit World Marauder …… The corresponding dust is also available, about 70 grams, more than needed and more than I expected ……” Klein slightly invisible Nodding his head, he put the dust into a box and threw it, along with the real soul body, into the clutter and covered it with gray mist.
With that accomplished, he raised a hand and rubbed the corner of his forehead, laughing silently to himself:
”If I wasn’t holding the ‘Scepter of Poseidon’, after encountering the attack of the Spirit World Marauders, I would most likely have directly chosen to leave Calderon, wait until I had help, and then do the safest hunt in order to control the movement and not disturb the unknown things in the core area… …
”Hey, just like this reckless to the end, although the result is good, but really does not match my character, but also completely contradictory to the ‘Diviner’ pathway play, in the future have to try to avoid in the outside world to use ‘Neptune Scepter’.
”Uh …… the Spirit World Marauders have been hunted successfully, there is no need to seek Miss Sharon’s help, wait a few days and write to her so she doesn’t have to be concerned about this matter.
”However, I have a hunch that I’ll be going to Calderon again in the future, and at that time, perhaps I’ll have to ask Miss Sharon for help.
”Also have to gather information about the Trickster Evil Monster, can’t put my hopes entirely on Silver City there ……”
In the midst of his thoughts, Klein did not bring his secret puppet with him, and returned directly to his physical body, ending the ritual, trekking towards his sleeping bed, and collapsing into a deep sleep.
……
”Escaped?” Solstice looked across at the man and inquired of Daley Simone, who was channeling.
They had just completed the operation and captured a few more members of the Spirit Order, but the key person shown in the intelligence, “Pale Hand” Palenque Tassib, was not at the hidden stronghold.
This is a Sequence 4 demigod, so the Red Gloves team not only used a “1” level seal, but also invited “Goddess’s Eyes” Illyria to take action, but the result was a failure.
Daley Simone nodded:
”Yes.”
She then looked at her captor and asked in an ethereal voice:
”Where did Palenque Tassib go?”
”He said he went to meet someone.” The Spirit Order member answered slowly.
”Who was that person?” Daley Simone pressed on, and Leonard Mitchell and the others each turned their attention to him.
The man being channeled said in a voice that did not rise or fall:
”Ince Zangwill.”
