Part 5 The Red Priestess Chapter 37 In Your Name
Snap!
The tumbling gold coin landed in Klein’s palm, but he didn’t bother to see if it was heads or tails, because he had a picture fixed in his mind:
A large tree towered in the bushes, the thin clouds in the sky failed to cover the many stars on the “black velvet”, and the sound of insects spread far and wide in the quiet night, interspersed with the Elk Manor due to the two “explosions” of the clamor.
Klein quickly used his knowledge of astrology to roughly determine the specific area that corresponded to this image, and then with a flash, he appeared beside Gelman Sparrow’s “winner” Nyuni, and grabbed him by the shoulders.
During this process, Klein retrieved the transparent worms implanted in the mice and bugbears’ secret puppets, and then severed the two-way “spiritual body line” connection.
In just a second or two, he disappeared into the gradually panicked and noisy Elk Manor with the “winner” Nyuni, and teleported to the area symbolized by the picture in his mind.
It was just as quiet as the revelation Klein had just received, to the point where one could hear the wind blowing through the leaves and bushes.
An illusory thin black line then appeared in Klein’s eyes, representing all the creatures in this area that possessed spirituality.
This was far too many, far more than dozens could be described, and for Klein to find the counterparts one by one and distinguish the problematic one from them was by no means something that could be accomplished in a short period of time.
However, he wasn’t in a hurry, because he was sure of at least one thing:
As long as that “Stealer” pathway demigod didn’t have any items of a particularly high level on his body, his divination results should be accurate. After all, after he became a “Trickster Mage”, not only did his corresponding abilities improve, the power of the gray mist to penetrate into the reality also increased, and the two together made it possible for him to find the right one even if he didn’t go above the gray mist. Even if he didn’t go above the gray mist, his divination ability in the saint this level is also absolutely outstanding, probably not worse than the “destiny” pathway of the same sequence of people, and that “stealer” pathway demigod itself is in a worrying state, the strength has been reduced to a low point.
Therefore, Klein believed that the other party was hiding in this small forest with bushes and had not escaped farther.
For this reason, he believed that waiting patiently was the best way:
The “Stealer” pathway demigod was already quite weak, his state was extremely unstable and close to being out of control, and after such a fierce battle and abandoning the rat’s body just now, his condition would only get worse and would not get any better, and if he could not be replenished or recovered, sooner or later something would happen to him. In this situation, “he” can not be replenished or recovered, sooner or later there will be problems, so Klein can afford to wait, but he can not afford to “wait”.
As the sound of insects spread out, Klein waited and transformed the secret puppets, and let the “winner” Nyuni leave the area and hide nearly 1 kilometer away, while at the same time, he was also preventing his “spiritual thread” from being manipulated by someone, because he remembered that the enemy had “stolen” the secret puppets from the “secret puppets”, so he was not sure if the enemy would be able to “steal” them. He remembered that the enemy had “stolen” this extraordinary ability from the secret puppets.
Suddenly, a gasp sounded in his ears as if from the depths of his soul.
Immediately afterward, a hysterical voice came out from within a large tree diagonally in front of him:
”Why are you forcing me?
”Why are you forcing me?
”Why are you forcing me!”
With a spiteful and shrill voice, the epidermis of that large tree flew off, revealing the wood underneath, and on the wood, hole after hole cracked open, drilling out one after another strange insectoid with seven or eight links.
The transparent parts of these bugbears were sunk with many three-dimensional patterns, while above the links it was as if time was passing.
Suddenly, Klein lost all his thoughts, the two extraordinary abilities of “Air Cannon” and “Paper Man Stand-in”, his belt, his coat and his hat, and he briefly became a human statue.
However, for a secret puppet, this is not too serious, after all, he does not need to think, and the lost ability can be regained by replacing the “worm”.
Yes, the moment he heard the gasp, Klein switched places with the “winner” Njoni!
And such a “winner”, is not to worry about the absence of the belt, pants and so on down, his waist in the “faceless man” ability of the influence of the rapid expansion, stuck pants.
Bugs, rats and other new secret puppets came out from different places and surrounded the tree that was mutating.
Just then, a voice with some laughter came from nowhere:
”Don’t be impatient, don’t be angry, things will work out.”
This voice was full of convincing power, the mutation of that large tree steeply slowed down, and the link worms that drilled out one after another slowly shrunk back.
”Yes?” Inside the large tree whose epidermis was peeling off, the voice that was previously resentful and indignant returned to calmness, with a few moments of confusion, as if it was about to be convinced.
And at this moment, Klein also felt that the words just now were extremely reasonable, and couldn’t help but reflect on why he had forced a Demigod to the point of losing control.
He vaguely felt that he seemed to have forgotten something, and couldn’t quite recall the main purpose of his coming over this time.
Then, he saw a figure walk in from outside the shrubbery and laughed:
”Relax, I have a way to abort your loss of control, as long as you do as I tell you.”
The figure wore a robe-like black trench coat with black pants and black leather shoes, with a wider forehead and a thin face, wearing a tall bowler hat and extremely distinctive monocle crystal glasses, looking extremely civilized.
Klein’s gaze froze abruptly, and a single word exploded and echoed within his mind:
”Amon!”
The person in front of him was “Blasphemer” Amon, “Angel of Time” Amon, King of Angels Amon, Son of the Creator Amon!
Although he knew that the other party was just a doppelganger, Klein didn’t think too much about it, and directly obeyed the will of his heart, and made his body rapidly transparent with the help of “writhing hunger”.
During this process, “Winner” Nyuni snapped his fingers, lit a match in his coat pocket and a fallen leaf in the distance, and relied on “Flame Jump” to flash to Klein’s side.
Klein grabbed him and disappeared with him.
According to Klein’s idea, if Amon had blocked him, or if the “winner” Njoni had not come back fast enough, he would have just abandoned his puppet and “traveled” to a faraway place.
In such a situation, the death of a secret puppet for the life of the person himself is simply more cost-effective!
Fortunately, Amon’s doppelganger’s attention was mainly focused on the tree with its skin peeling off, and he didn’t do anything to stop it, or rather, he didn’t have the time to do so.
Only after the figures of Klein and the Secret Puppet disappeared did Amon pause, glancing sideways at where the two had been standing, nodding his head slightly as if in thought, and letting out a “heh”:
”The ‘Trickster Mage’ of the Dark House, huh.”
He whirled around and retracted his gaze, looking at the large, half-mutated tree and asked with a smile:
”A descendant of the Jacob family?”
”Yes, yes, you recognize my ancestor?” Within that large tree, the rat demigod from before asked rhetorically in a tone of someone who had grabbed a float after drowning.
Amon raised a hand to his chin and nodded slightly:
”Of course.
”They taste pretty good.”
The descendant of the Jacob family within that large tree fell silent for a moment, and it was several seconds before he cried out with fear in his voice:
”You, you’re ‘Blasphemer’ Amon!”
Inside the holes in the trees, the linky bugbears began to crawl out again.
However, they quickly became stiff and “froze” in place.
Amon pinched the top and bottom of his monocle crystal glasses and laughed:
”It’s too late, isn’t it?
”If you had struggled and resisted at the beginning, it would have worked a little, but now well …… you didn’t think I was only coming alone, did you?”
As he spoke, the bushes around him shook a little, the leaves on the different trees swayed gently, a bird leapt onto a branch with a crisp sound, and even the night breeze that passed through the neighborhood had a bit more of an indefinable flavor to it.
”You ……” the descendant of the Jacob family within the large semi-mutated tree screeched to a halt just as he made his voice.
Amon thrust his hands into the pockets of his trench coat and smiled leisurely:
”I heard that your family is divided into small, unconnected families, afraid that if I catch one, I’ll catch a bunch? Ah yes, is it true that you and the descendants of Zoroaster, and other extraordinary people of the ‘Stealer’ pathway, have established a hidden organization, calling yourselves the Hermits of Destiny?
”You’re one of them, I believe? I’ll try to see if I can take your place and blend into that organization to see what’s going on, heh, a hidden organization that guards against Amon against Amon but has Amon involved, it’s still interesting to think about.”
Speaking here, he glanced at the half-mutated tree that began to shake violently and continued:
”Unfortunately, I’ve looked at your fate, and you’re not very well educated in the occult to be a member of that organization, and you’re all that’s left of your bloodline of the Jacob family?
”To think that Beckland came to find the secret treasure left behind by the Jacob family, only to somehow get seriously injured and suffer a seal?
”Ha, you have traces left over from parasitizing a common animal, yet you haven’t spoken to a human for a long time …… Are you puzzled that all that knowledge you harvested from within the magical potion when you were promoted to Sequence 4 and the hidden voices you heard didn’t contain a ‘reminder’ in this regard ‘? Well, I deleted it.”
”No!”
An indignant and resentful voice rang out shrilly, full of indescribable pain.
The half-mutated tree shook even more violently, but then it calmed down.
A little bit of flowing light flew out of it and surged into Amon’s body.
Amon took out a piece of silk and removed the single crystal eyeglass, muttering as he wiped it off:
”What a stupidity, I said it was too late and she actually believed it, the biggest disadvantage of guys close to losing control is that they have no brains and are easily defrauded.
”How can you not understand what’s going on here if you think about it seriously? Why would I even bother talking to her so much if I can quickly fix her and take away her destiny, a doppelganger is just a doppelganger after all ……”
By the time Amon put his monocle back on, the streams of light pouring out of the half-mutated tree had been absorbed by K in its entirety.
At this time, a figure passed by from outside the shrubbery, it was none other than Hazel who had changed into her hunting outfit.
She seemed to have noticed something and subconsciously turned her head to look this way and saw Amon.
Then, she revealed a surprised smile and said:
”Teacher, you’ve gotten better?
”Well, someone found out about your problem, you’d better go hide somewhere else!”
Amon listened quietly and the corner of his mouth curled up a little:
”Okay.”
