Chapter 261 Promotion to "Joy"
"So, you asked me for help because of the blood moon, because you were on the verge of losing control?"
Afterwards, the Fool asked Angel why he chanted His Honorable Name. The latter described in detail what happened after taking the "Pleasure Witch" potion, but out of instinct, he concealed the fact that he first tried to chant the Honorable Name of the Goddess of Night.
Amidst the unbearable pain, Angel's recitation of the longer name of the Goddess of Night was interrupted several times and ultimately never finished. Only then did he think of the three shorter sentences of Mr. Fool and successfully offered his prayer to Him.
This might anger Mr. Fool.
"Yes, I don't know what happened to my real body now. Has it turned into an indescribable monster, or has it died, with only my spirit left here, barely surviving..."
She now had a good understanding of occultism, and after visiting the Gray Fog Dimension many times, she had some guesses about the existence form here. Aside from the mysterious Mr. Fool, the other members of the Tarot Club who came here were spirits, the so-called souls or astral spirits, while their physical bodies remained in place.
Therefore, just because I am safe and sound now does not mean that my real body is also safe and sound. According to what Lord Cecima, the "Sword of the Goddess", said when dealing with Old Neil's loss of control, once the Extraordinary begins to lose control, there is no way to save him, and the only thing he can consider is how to die with dignity.
Of course, this phenomenon of separation of soul and body is also one of the most mysterious in mysticism. Is it really possible that "the body is out of control, but the spirit is still intact"?
"You don't have to worry. When a Beyonder loses control, it's a complete collapse of the body, soul, and spirit. Your spirit is safe and sound here, which means your outer body hasn't lost control. It's just been affected by the blood moon, similar to Miss Magician's situation."
It turns out the problem was really caused by the blood moon... But that's great, according to Mr. Fool, the blood moon is over now, and it should be safe for me to return to reality.
Angel thought about it, breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked doubtfully:
"Mr. Fool, may I ask why a blood moon has such a significant impact on advancement? I've never heard of a rule that prohibits taking potions to advance during a blood moon. Most occult books believe that during a full moon or a blood moon, the spiritual world and reality overlap, spirituality is at its highest, and this is conducive to advancement."
"A full moon won't affect normal advancement. It will only affect certain special paths. For example, werewolves in the 'Prisoner' path will become manic under a full moon, their bodies and minds distorted and alienated."
So, my promotion was abnormal?
Angel suddenly thought of the bloody color that appeared before her eyes before she "lost control". She was in the basement at the time and could never see the moonlight, but that color...
It was very similar to the scarlet light that flashed when he used the magic mirror to divine the "Master Key".
Could it be that at that time, when he ignored Ms. Bernadette's warning and tried to divine the source of the curse of the master key, he had already been contaminated by the mysterious power?
Thinking of the unlucky guy in the divination who claimed to revive the Abraham family but lost control and died instantly after taking the potion, Angel began to wonder if the other party also lost control because he happened to encounter a blood moon at that moment, and finally died from the "safest" Sequence 9 potion.
It seems that after resolving this matter, I must immediately go to Father Utravsky and inquire about the origin of the master key. I must thoroughly investigate and find a way to prevent this from happening again...
Over the next short while, Angel detailed to Mr. Fool what had happened since leaving the Tarot Club. Of course, she concealed the details about the Church of Evernight and Ms. Arianna, simply saying that she had somehow survived the hands of Ince Zangwill, and that, in order to seek revenge, she had tracked him down to Backlund and even infiltrated the Witch Cult.
Angel became emotional as she recounted how she risked her life to divine Lanevus, who possessed the divine aura of the 'True Creator,' ultimately obtaining his detailed location. She then reported the situation to the Nighthawks and the military, ultimately trapping the escaping con man in the sewers and killing him. This was the first step in her personal revenge.
Mr. Fool said nothing, sitting at the head of the long table, listening quietly.
"Mr. Fool, can I pay you a price in exchange for information about Ince Zangwill and Sealed Artifact 0-08, or perhaps some of his weaknesses?"
At the end of her words, she looked expectantly at this mysterious being.
"Haha, you don't need to be so anxious. One of my followers is currently investigating the arrival of the True Creator. If it involves the Archbishop who defected from the Church of Evernight and the Level 0 Seal in his possession, you will be notified in a timely manner."
The Fool chuckled and replied, as if this Beyonder who had been promoted to a high-sequence Beyonder was merely an insignificant character, not even worthy of His personal attention.
"Thank you again, Mr. Fool. Not only did you save my life, but you also gave me hope."
Angel stood up and saluted the Fool. Then he felt his body become lighter. A crimson light flashed before his eyes, and he left the gray foggy space.
Only Mr. Fool was left sitting quietly at the table, thinking about something.
After a long moment, He looked at the deep red star He was most familiar with. Through the connection created by the other party's prayer, which had not yet been broken, He extended His spirituality and enveloped it. He saw a distorted and blurry picture in the illusion, and saw "Queen" Angel Granger slowly getting up from the ground with a thankful expression on her face. She looked at her hands. Her arms were white and translucent, without any obvious signs of being out of control.
After confirming that the other party was safe and sound, Klein severed the connection. He slowly leaned back in his chair with a smile on his face.
"Sequence 6...how come you're still faster than me?"
"I wonder what new Beyonder abilities the 'Pleasure Witch' has developed. In Tingen City, that gray-haired Pleasure Witch ambushed and chopped off one of my arms. I still remember the panic and despair I felt at that moment... Hmm, no wonder she wanted Lanevus to have a taste of that..."
"But she seems to have become, more beautiful? Is it an illusion?"
Mr. Fool's soliloquy echoed in the empty palace.
————
As soon as she opened her eyes suddenly, Angel felt her whole body was cold, as if she had been soaked in ice water all night, but then she found that this was an illusion after the burning sensation just now subsided, and her body temperature was actually normal.
The long light golden hair that was dragging far on the ground also disappeared without a trace, leaving only the length that was originally draped over her shoulders. On the exposed skin, those strange blisters and cracks seemed to have never appeared, leaving only fair skin.
Picking up the yellow crystal pendant that fell beside her, she slowly climbed up from the cold floor of the living room, looked at her hands, stroked her hair, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that everything had returned to normal.
Mr. Fool's conclusion was correct. He wasn't out of control, he was just affected by the blood moon. And now...
Angel looked at the sky outside the window. The dazzling full moon had disappeared, and the crescent moon with a missing corner returned to the night sky. The crimson light made her feel extremely at ease.
She retracted her gaze and tried to mobilize her spiritual power again. After taking the potion, she felt extremely sluggish. The spiritual power that had been out of control was now as powerful as her own arm. Under the control of her spiritual power, countless silk threads that were almost invisible to the naked eye flew out from her side and quickly covered the entire living room, entangling the sofa, the coffee table, and the gas lamp on the ceiling.
Looking at the living room that had turned into a Spider Cave, an idea flashed through Angel's mind. He immediately tied the silk threads tightly around a corner of the coffee table and pulled it hard, dragging it slowly towards him. The teacup on top fell over due to the vibration and rolled to the edge of the table. Just when it was about to fall, another bunch of silk threads stopped it.
Glancing at the invisible spider silk in the living room with satisfaction, she summoned several black flames around her. These cursed flames, larger and burning more vigorously than before, were quickly transmitted along the interconnected silk threads under spiritual control, dyeing the entire living room a deep black. Even the gas lamplight seemed to be swallowed by them.
Standing in the black fire, Angel smiled and felt his Sony energy.
She was finally promoted to the "Pleasure Witch".
