âMaking things difficult for Amon?â Pallez Zoroast chuckled. âWhat benefits can there be? Otherwise, forget it.â
Leonard was momentarily at a loss for words. After a few seconds, he said, âAt least it can make you feel good.â
Pallez chuckled.
âI will feel better if you donât bring this topic up.â
Without waiting for Leonard to respond, this Sequence 1 angel from the Marauder pathway sighed with âHisâ slightly-aged voice.
âDoesnât your former colleague have a Deceit Charm? Perhaps he can use this to come up with a solution.â
After getting rid of the Amon avatars in Backlund, Pallez had given the godhood symbols and magic labels needed to make four charmsâDeceit, Parasite, Deprivation, and Agingâto Leonard. Leonard had passed on this knowledge to Klein, and the latter had used the knowledge and the Worms of Time to create one Deceit, Parasite, and Deprivation bullet each. Later on, he had used them to deal with Qonas Kilgor, but Leonard wasnât aware of this.
Leonard whispered thoughtfully, âOld Man, are you saying that by using the Deceit charm, you can mislead Amon and cause him to misidentify the location, preventing him from influencing Kleinâs escape?â
In his mind, Pallez Zoroast snapped back, âDo you think itâs possible to use a Deceit charm in front of a Marauder pathwayâs King of Angels?â
Itâs impossible... Leonard laughed dryly and pressed in a thick-skinned manner, âWhat do you mean then?â
Pallez Zoroastâs voice suddenly sounded more spirited:
âDeceive the rule that one can only return to where oneâs body is!â
âDeceive the rule? That works too?â Leonard asked in shock.
Pallez gave a self-deprecating laugh and sighed.
âCompared to deceiving Amon, deceiving a rule is much easier. After all, underneath this world is madness and chaos.â
This sentence made Leonard speechless for a moment. On the one hand, he wasnât experienced enough. He didnât know that orders and laws could be deceived, and on the other hand, he never expected that, in Old Manâs heart, Amon was even more terrifying than the laws of nature and the order of the world.
After nearly ten seconds, he spoke again, âWith this method, how high is the possibility of success?â
âItâs very, very low,â Pallez said with a sneer. âHowever, the probability of deceiving the order of the world like this with a Deceit charm made from a Worm of Time from Amonâs avatar is very, very low. Therefore, my suggestion is still to get him to make a request to The Fool for help. Donât waste any more time. When fighting Amon, the longer the delay, the more dangerous it will be.â
Leonard pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement.
âI understand. Iâll also advise him to do so.â
Of course, he wouldnât forget mentioning the highly improbable method that Old Man had suggested.
âItâs good that you understand. Seriously, disturbing an old manâs reading...â As Pallez mumbled, âHisâ voice gradually lowered and disappeared from Leonardâs mind.
In 7 Pinster Street, the newspaper that was placed on the coffee table suddenly flew up and automatically spread open over the sofa.
...
Using a Deceit Charm to deceive the requirement that I can only resurrect where my original body is? Above the gray fog, in the ancient palace, Klein reconstructed Pallez Zoroastâs âsuggestionâ in his own words.
As soon as he finished speaking, he recalled the animal hide lantern that kept burning: Amon had deceived the laws of nature, allowing the candle to remain in a magical state and continue burning for a week without needing any fuel.
His eyes lit up as he whispered, âThis line of thought is something only an angel from the Marauder pathway can think of immediately...
âIt might not be impossible!â
Like Pallez, he did feel that, compared to dealing with Amon, it was much easier to deal with the laws of nature.
After seeing hope, he immediately analyzed the possible outcome:
Although Iâve already used the Deceit Bullet, I can summon it from the Historical Void. After all, before the effects end, Iâll definitely reform my body and successfully resurrect...
The laws of nature are truly pitiful. Not only will they be deceived, even the item used to deceive it is fake...
The only problem is that the bullet might not be able to deceive the mysticism law. It was already a little difficult to deal with Qonas Kilgor back then...
Amidst his thoughts, he slowly surveyed the area and gradually gained inspiration.
That was to use Sefirah Castle!
After gaining initial control of Sefirah Castle, he could already mobilize the power of a Sequence 2 angel here.
And many of the things he had come into contact with previously had explained that the authority of Sefirah Castle had a high probability of spanning over the three pathways of Seer, Apprentice, and Marauder. It could generate a convergence effect on the corresponding Beyonders, and it had clearly attracted the attention of Amon.
That was to say, Klein suspected that Sefirah Castle had the power of these three pathways at the same time. However, as a Seer, most of the power he could stir was concentrated in this domain.
With the help of the medium known as the Deceit Bullet, I might be able to stir the other powers of Sefirah Castle... Since Iâm already capable of using some miracles in the Seer domain, having power from the Marauder pathway at the angel level is a highly reasonable deduction. The only problem is that there must be a medium of a sufficient level... This way, I donât have to worry about not being able to deceive that rule... As his thoughts brightened up, he seriously began to formulate a plan.
He used the mysticism laws as his target and attempted to formulate a âscam.â
In order to reduce the difficulty, itâs best to have additional preparations. I canât deceive something out of nothing, at least unless Iâm Amonâs true body...
Yes. Iâll bestow a tube of my blood to Little Sun. Iâll create a fake respawn point that exceeds the range.
And then, using the Deceit Bullet as a trigger, stir the corresponding angel-level powers contained within Sefirah Castle, âmisdirectingâ that rule and making it view the fake respawn point as the real one, while the real one becomes the fake one...
He outlined the details bit by bit, and when his thoughts finally took form, Klein immediately used the mysticism connection between himself and the spot he died, to observe the actual situation with his âtrue vision.â
He saw that the grayish-yellow fog had thinned a lot, and the deep ravine that hid Chernobyl was no different from before.
It was unknown where Amon, who was wearing a pointed hat and a monocle, had stolen a rock from and had placed it on the spot where Klein had passed away. âHeâ sat on it and patiently played with a human-skinned glove.
âHeâ occasionally bent the human-skinned gloveâs finger and stretched it at other times, as if âHeâ could pass a hundred years doing that.
About a kilometer away, in a certain spot in the grayish-yellow fog, three Amons in black classical mage robes crouched around a rock as âTheyâ seriously played poker cards that âTheyâ had stolen from somewhere. From time to time, âTheyâ would nudge their monocle.
Elsewhere in this extensive moor, Amon would be either alone or in groups, strolling leisurely, writing in thought, or discussing all sorts of questions with one another.
In the dark and dangerous Forsaken Land of the Gods, it was such a harmonious scene. It wouldâve been better if the young men werenât all the sameâwearing classic black robes, pointed hats and monocles, with similar black hair, black eyes, broad foreheads, and thin faces.
Just as Klein was about to make a further observation, the Amon sitting on the rock suddenly raised âHisâ head. âHeâ nudged his crystal-carved monocle and looked at him.
Across the moor, all of the Amons looked up at the highest point of the fog of history.
Klein immediately retracted his gaze and cut off the connection.
...
In the City of Silver, Derrick Berg arrived at the top of the spire and met Chief Colin Iliad.
âYour Excellency, Iâve already received the promise of blessings,â Derrick said frankly and directly.
With white hair and an old scar on his face, Colin Iliad was visibly relieved. He slowly nodded and said, âThatâs good. Thatâs good.â
He had repeated the sentence in a rare instance.
As an excellent Demon Hunter and the City of Silverâs Chief, he had always been patient, never taking unnecessary risks. Therefore, with the sudden lack of a response from The Fool, he didnât immediately turn to the True Creator, and he decided to wait patiently for another month.
For the City of Silver, which had been waiting in the Dark Ages for more than two thousand years, a month was something that could be accepted.
Without waiting for Derrick to reply, Demon Hunter Colin left the window and calmly said, âHead back first. Iâm going to start preparing for the advancement ritual.â
Derrick glanced at the Chief and said sincerely, âYouâll definitely succeed!â
He didnât stay any longer. He immediately left the spire and returned home.
After setting up the ritual again and placing the six powerful corpses that he had hunted to the correct position, Colin Iliad began to concoct the potion.
After all of this was done, the City of Silver Chief closed his eyes and lowered his head, chanting in Jotun, âThe Fool that doesnât belong to this era, the mysterious ruler above the gray fog; the King of Yellow and Black who wields good luck...â
Above the gray fog, Klein saw ripples of light emanate as he heard a slightly illusory prayer.
He immediately summoned a paper figurine and combined the power of Sefirah Castle with it. He threw it into the prayer circle and conveniently marked the City of Silverâs Chief.
At the same time, with the help of this prayer circle, he observed the situation of the entire spire and the City of Silver. He confirmed that there was no sign of Amonâs parasitic existence near the Chief or Little Sun.
I have to seize this opportunity! Klein immediately conjured The World Gehrman Sparrow and made him pose as he prayed.
At this moment, Colin Iliad saw the light.
In the holy light, a holy angel with twelve pairs of illusory wings suddenly descended. As clean, white feathers fluttered down, the Demon Hunter was embraced by these wings of light.
This was a blessing from Mr. Fool.
