For a moment, the cold night became abnormally scorching hot, as though invisible lava was surging within it.
However, everything quickly returned to normal.
The Red Angel evil spirit sized up Klein and smiled as if nothing had happened.
âIâll say it again. You have talent in being a Provoker.
âBack when Zaratul digested the Bizarro Sorcerer potion, even âHeâ didnât dare to pretend to be Amon in front of me.â
There wasnât a hint of anger in his tone. He didnât mention why Zaratul didnât dare to do so, but with his gaze sweeping across Klein, it was as if he had fallen deep inside a glacier, his body freezing in the process.
This was how his actual body felt. Even though he was separated by a marionette, the back of his neck and back still had goosebumps.
Without needing Sauron Einhorn Medici to say anything else, Klein understood the hidden meaning behind his words:
Anyone who dared to use such a method to scare âHimâ would suffer the punishment of steel and blood on the spot!
Looking at the Red Angel evil spirit in front of him who had a converged aura but was giving off a feeling of an extremely high level of superiority, Klein couldnât help but inwardly mutter, If it wasnât for the fact that the Bizarro Sorcerer potion had been digested to a certain extent, I wouldâve thought that your willpower was as strong as steel and that your strength has returned to the level of at least a Sequence 1. And now, I can basically confirm that, under your calm demeanor, youâre hiding a strong fear towards Amon. This also means that your current level is at most at Sequence 2...
Besides, I was already mentally prepared to lose a marionette. In order to quickly digest the potion, I had to take the risk...
If Danitz was here and he was given the opportunity to shout out âcowardâ twice, he could probably quickly digest the Provoker potion even if he had drunk four or five bottles...
Without further agitating the Red Angel evil spirit, Klein smiled and took off the monocle.
âBack in the Solomon Empire, Zaratul should already be an angel. How would he still need to digest the Bizarro Sorcerer potion?â
âIâm talking about the young Zaratul,â Sauron Einhorn Medici said casually.
This is consistent with the description from the grandpa in Leonardâs body... Klein nodded indiscernibly and focused on the main topic at hand.
âYouâve already finished off the Demoness of White?â
âWhat do you think?â The Red Angel evil spirit laughed and said, âAlso, one must be polite. Since Katarina calls herself the Saintess of White, then you shouldnât call her a Demoness anymore.â
Polite... A Hunter emphasizing manners with me... At that instant, the corners of Kleinâs mouth twitched, expressing the ludicrousness of the matter, but he ultimately held back.
From the looks of it, âprovokingâ isnât limited to ridiculing and cursing others. Uh, Danitz, who only knows how to curse using one word, is a disgrace to Hunters... As he thought, Klein said, âIâve already fulfilled my promise. I think you donât mind giving me a small reward.â
âReward?â the Red Angel evil spirit scoffed and asked.
Klein ignored âHisâ attitude and continued, âI wish to communicate with the Demoness of White. I want to ask her something.â
âJust this request?â the Red Angel evil spirit asked in amusement.
Klein nodded.
âThatâs right.â
âNo problem.â Sauron Einhorn Medici raised his right hand and grabbed at his glabella. From there, a blurry figure was pulled out. It was none other than Saintess of White Katarina, whose facial expression was filled with horror.
âCan we have a private conversation?â Seeing this, Klein looked around.
The Red Angel evil spirit immediately laughed and said, âDo you need a room where the two of you can be together?
Think about it with that brain of yours. Even if you want to hide the questions you would like to raise from me, I can still find out through Katarinaâs spirit. That is, of course, unless you donât plan on returning her to me? Or are you a little boy who needs things to follow a ritual?â
Klein made the marionette reply with a deadpan expression, âI have a way to make her forget my questions.â
This was both the truth and a lie. The truth was that he could use Hvin Rambisâs Manipulatorâs Beyonder characteristic to complete the job. However, it was relatively difficult, and the chance of failure was very high. Furthermore, the negative effects werenât minor. The reason why he lied was because he had no intention of doing so. This would expose many important matters. He only had one purpose in saying this: to make the Red Angel evil spirit suspect that the answers obtained werenât the truth and that there were key hidden parts beneath the surface. From that, âHeâ would ignore the value of the answers obtained on the surface. This worked wonders on people who were highly suspicious.
Of course, there was no hope of success. After all, the entity opposite him was the Red Angel who was master of âconspiracies.â
âNot bad.â After Sauron Einhorn Medici heard Kleinâs reply, âHisâ body suddenly vanished, projecting itself onto the glass window.
Klein glanced at the blood that had already coagulated on the gray stones, feeling somewhat wistful as he brought the somewhat muddle-headed Demoness of White Katarina far away from the glass and into a dark alley.
He then took out candles, essential oils, and herbal powders. He set up an altar and prayed to the Evernight Goddess, hoping that he could use ritualistic magic to complete the mediumship.
This was a skill he had mastered when he was still a Nighthawk.
As the ritual was completed, an immense and terrifying power descended from an indescribable height, causing the surroundings to become unusually quiet.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Kleinâs eyes instantly darkened, as it was like the dark night was compressed.
He then saw more things around Katarinaâs spiritâflickering light and blurry mind storms.
He easily passed through those obstacles and faced the Demoness of Whiteâs Body of Heart and Mind.
âHas the cooperation between the Demoness Sect and George III come to an end?â Without being careless, Klein began from a less sensitive question to observe Katarinaâs condition.
The dazed and confused look on Katarinaâs face faded a little as she nodded with a pure smile.
âYes.â
âThen why are you still in Backlund?â Klein asked further.
Katarina replied solemnly, âIâm in pursuit of Trissy. She took an important Sealed Artifact from us.â
âWhatâs the Sealed Artifact?â Klein suddenly recalled the sapphire ring that Demoness Trissy had once worn on her hand. It was intricately made.
Demoness of White Katarina said with a pious expression, âIt has something to do with the awakening of Primordial. Apart from its high level at Grade 0, it doesnât have any special abilities.â
Indeed, it has to do with the Primordial Demoness... You people even changed Trissyâs name to Trissy Cheek... Klein didnât reveal that he knew the true name of the Primordial Demoness. Instead, he asked, âDo you know where the other eight mausoleums of George III are?â
Katarina frowned slightly and answered in a manner meant to garner sympathy, âTheyâre separately located in the southwest suburbs of Backlund, Awwa County, East Chester County...â
This Demoness of White first gave a simple account of the locations of the eight mausoleums before introducing their specific locations and situations in detail.
âThe eight mausoleums have already been repaired. They temporarily deactivated the teleportation tunnel. Even if they have the corresponding charms, thereâs no way to open them again. Itâs almost impossible to find them directly from the outside world...
âOther than Prince Grove, Duchess Georgina, the two angels of the royal family, and George III, no one else can enter...â
Well, some of those places were places where Qonas Kilgor often went hunting, so it matches my guess. This means that the Demoness of White isnât lying... Iâll make a confirmation above the gray fog later...
If this is really the case, it would be quite troublesome... With the current situation, be it Prince Grove or Duchess Georgina, they would definitely be in the sights of the angels...
The biggest hurdle is entering the ruins. Once entry is gained, what follows wonât be that dangerous. War has already broken out, and thereâs a need to fight against the Feysacians. Demigods are a limited resource, so thereâs no way George III can have every ruin be guarded by a saint, with the option of an angel to provide reinforcements... As Kleinâs thoughts raced, he first posed a question:
âThe royal family has two angels?â
âIn fact, thatâs not the case. Itâs very likely that George III is also one,â Katarina replied honestly. âOne of those two angels is the Founder of the Loen Kingdom, Protector William I who has survived since the Fourth Epoch. âHeâ is a Sequence 1 Hand of Order of the Arbiter pathway, while the other is the former Duke of Southville, Dlink Augustus. âHeâ is a Sequence 2 Balancer... As for how many Grade 0 Sealed Artifacts the royal family has, Iâm not sure.â
The Founder on the ten-pound note is still alive? I have the feeling that history has seeped into reality again... After some thought, he nodded and asked, âWhy are you working with George III?â
âFor a Conqueror Beyonder characteristic. Itâs already in our hands.â Katarinaâs expression became a little excited. Conqueror was the name of the Red Priest pathwayâs Sequence 1 potion!
âThen, will it belong to the Primordial Demoness, or belong to the upper echelons of your sect?â Klein asked thoughtfully. âWho are the higher-ups of your sect?â
âIt will be sacrificed to Primordial. However, we have to find the Sealed Artifact that Trissy took away first. Currently, it has been kept by the Saintess of Black... All the higher-ups of our sect have colors as their code names...â Katarina answered truthfully.
After understanding more details, Klein terminated the spirit channeling, cleaned up the altar, and allowed the Demoness of Whiteâs spirit to return to the glass window from before.
As for himself, his body suddenly turned transparent. With the help of âTeleportation,â he disappeared from this region, rendezvousing with his actual body and his other marionette.
After watching Gehrman Sparrow leave, the gloominess and confusion on Katarinaâs face suddenly vanished as her expression became extremely astute.
She then entered the glass window which had turned dark again.
A few seconds later, Sauron Einhorn Medici and Demoness of White Katarina walked out of the âmirrorâ together. The latterâs figure was clear and filled with flesh. She showed no signs of death!
âAre you saying that he was asking about the other eight secret mausoleums of George III? The power of the spirit channeling came from Evernight?â The Red Angel evil spirit stroked âHisâ chin and turned to ask Katarina.
The Demoness of White nodded slightly and said, âThatâs right.â
âHeh.â The Red Angel evil spirit immediately laughed. âSo he doesnât want George III to become the Black Emperor.â Katarinaâs eyes darted around as she revealed a smile.
âBut itâs impossible to succeed. No matter how fast he advances or how much help he receives, thereâs no way he can resist the combined forces of the royal family, the military, and that organization. No, if itâs just the Augustus family, with his level and strength, he wonât be able to do anything, unless Evernight personally descends.â
Having said that, this Demoness of White asked in a seemingly casual manner, âIâm very puzzled. Why didnât you kill me directly after grasping the absolute advantage over me?â
The Red Angel evil spirit glanced at her as the corners of âHisâ mouth slowly curled up.
âDo you think you have the right to be my true target?â
