Chapter 327 Grazing and Severe Injury
"Are you okay?"
The voice of the "King of Thieves" Black Emperor was low and majestic, but mixed with a hint of concern.
Angel nodded slowly, indicating that he was fine.
Although the battle was fierce, it only lasted about a minute. The Desire Apostle's attacks were almost completely avoided by the Stand, causing no substantial damage to her. Only a small portion of her spiritual power was consumed. The only problem was psychological...
Even after the battle was over, the desire that had exploded within her continued to influence her thoughts.
Although she was already familiar with the attack methods of the "Apostle of Desire" and had developed corresponding countermeasures, such as not wearing the "Ring of Madness", using the killing desire brought by the "Dawn Knight" Beyonder characteristic to cover up her other desires, and using the "Magic Pocket Watch" in advance to quickly resolve the battle, Sequence 6, fighting alone against Sequence 5, still allowed the opponent to seize a flaw, detonating the seed of desire that had been unknowingly buried in her body. Even though she was seriously injured, she still had the strength to fight back.
Fortunately, I am not alone...
She looked at the "Black Emperor" Sherlock floating in the air. The latter had just withdrawn his gaze from her and slowly floated above the dead "Apostle of Desire", capturing the spirit escaping from the newly dead body.
According to the plan before the battle, Sherlock will first communicate with him in the spirit state. In this state, only a short ceremony is needed to perform efficient communication and achieve the best results.
Seeing that Sherlock did not delay and quickly got into the state, Angel also dragged his tired body a little further away and walked towards the suitcase thrown down by the "Apostle of Desire" before.
What exactly is it that makes this extraordinary person who is fleeing in panic reluctant to give up?
Lifting the heavy suitcase and placing it on the slightly drier ground, Angel opened the buckle and opened the lid.
What appeared before her were stacks of 10-pound notes. The serious round face of William I, the "Founder of the Nation", looked so cute at this moment that Angel wanted to kiss him.
"Greed, the greed ignited by the 'Apostle of Desire'..."
She quickly found an excuse for herself, suppressed her impulse, and roughly estimated that there were more than 10,000 gold pounds in the suitcase. With a small amount of gold bars, the total value might be around 13,000 pounds.
This is even more expensive than a Sequence 5 Beyonder characteristic...
Angel could hardly believe what she had found. Her hands were shaking as she closed the lid of the suitcase. She lifted the heavy suitcase and returned to the "Apostle of Desire". Sherlock had also completed the divination at this time. His black helmet was turning and he looked over here.
"I've gained quite a bit. We'll tell you more when we get back. Do you want to 'herd' him now?"
"Yes," Angel put down the suitcase reluctantly, took off the "Rose Necklace" from his neck, placed the blood-red gem on the forehead of the Apostle of Desire, mobilized his spirituality, and activated this magical item.
A breeze blew up, swirling around the somewhat miserable remains of Angel and the Apostle of Desire, getting faster and faster.
In the center of the whirlwind, an almost transparent figure appeared. It was the "Apostle of Desire" with brown hair and brown eyes. His expression was not as stern as when he was alive, but extremely painful. His mouth was open, as if he was making a silent roar, and his limbs were shaking in the whirlwind, trying his best to resist being "herded".
Specks of bright yellow light like magma precipitated from the remains below the transparent figure. They did not gradually gather together as normal precipitation would, but instead spun with the whirlwind, getting faster and faster.
Finally, these rays of light merged into the transparent figure, dyeing him with the color of flames, and finally merged into the blood-red gem on the rose necklace.
It was as if a dim light lit up inside the gem, carrying the same color as the light just now, making the gem shine even brighter.
Angel breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the necklace, and put it back around his neck.
She had successfully herded her first soul.
The body, having lost its soul and extraordinary characteristics, seemed to become a little hunched, but the two people standing by knew that this was just an illusion. The body had not lost any part of its essence, it just no longer possessed extraordinary powers.
At this point, all objectives have been successfully completed. The fleeing "Apostle of Desire" was intercepted and killed, his spiritual communication was completed, and his extraordinary characteristics were released.
There is even extra gold pound income...
Angel just grinned as he watched the "Black Emperor" Sherlock remove a deck of tarot cards from his body and do the final finishing work when a rich blood color appeared in front of his eyes.

Klein sat blankly in the palace above the gray fog, on the high-backed chair belonging to The Fool, a smile still on his face, the corners of his mouth still curled upwards.
All that remained before his eyes was a remnant of the scene.
It was a silver-white full-body armor with bloodstains on the chest, endless blood-red and silver-white, as well as Angel's frozen smile and her broken body.
The next moment, he lost contact with the spirit of the "Black Emperor" and returned to the gray fog space.
If he hadn't subconsciously protected the "Sun Brooch" in his body, he wouldn't even be able to keep this magical item he brought with him.
"1-42." This was the immense power of the Sealed Artifact. At that moment, he even sensed a power no less powerful than the "Card of Blasphemy." Perhaps it was the armor itself, or perhaps it was the congealed bloodstain on it...
Without further ado, Klein quickly returned to reality and returned to his residence at 15 Minsk Street. He quickly grabbed his pistol, ammunition, talismans, and everything else he could use in battle. Then, in a flash of fire, he left his home and appeared next to a street lamp.
At this time, the sky had become dark, and there were not many pedestrians on the road. No one noticed the figure that suddenly appeared on the street corner. He looked around quickly and didn't find the hired carriage. He simply moved his legs and ran in the direction where the "Apostle of Desire" had died. From time to time, he used fire flashes to pass through the buildings in front of him, and finally he went into the sewer and ran wildly on the accumulated water.
Relying on his memory of the journey he had just made when he transformed into the "Black Emperor", he arrived near the battle site in just a few minutes. After turning two corners, he could see the remains of the Apostle of Desire, and...
Klein suddenly stopped and took a deep breath, calming his anxious mood a little. He knew that facing "1-42" directly would only lead to his death in vain. Only his own caution and calmness, not recklessness and impulsiveness, could save Angel.
In the quiet sewer, apart from his own breathing and the slowly flowing water under his feet, there was no sound of any fighting. He made a quick decision, walked back four steps, and returned to the palace shrouded in gray fog. He summoned paper and pen to write down the divination, closed his eyes, and forced himself into a dream.
"Angel Granger's current situation."
As Klein silently recited the divination, the gray fog in front of his eyes dissipated. The first thing he saw was a remote garden. Several night watchmen in tweed coats were helping the Sealed Artifact "1-42" take off its heavy armor. Under the removed helmet was a familiar face.
That was Leonard Mitchell with black hair and green eyes.
Klein took a deep breath and almost interrupted the dream divination. He didn't expect that the person who had just instantly attacked Angel and severed the seal of his "Black Emperor" spirit was actually his old teammate in Tingen City.
The poet, who was originally unrestrained but now had a solemn expression, took off his silver-white armor, ignored the onlookers around him, quickly took off his clothes, and crawled into a pit that was temporarily dug in the grass next to him, which was filled with steaming boiling water.
Then, the scene changed. In the sewer below the garden, several official Beyonders from an unknown church were gathered around the corpse of the "Apostle of Desire", discussing something with serious expressions. There was a pool of fresh blood near the corpse, but no other corpses were seen.
This scene made Klein feel a little relieved.
The scene in the dream continued to move, passing through several passages, and then stopped at the end of a passage separated by a fence.
Klein's eyes suddenly widened.
He saw Angel covered in blood, lying motionless in the corner.
