Chapter 486: Spirit World Boat
The overlapping blocks of color flew rapidly towards Klein, while he himself retreated at an extremely fast speed.
Following Mr. Azik, he had traveled through the spirit world many times, and even used the "Black Emperor" card to transform into a spirit body. He had actively searched for creatures in the spirit world that might serve as messengers, so he was not unfamiliar with this kind of scene.
Therefore, he was more aware that every second of being "exiled" here and every meter flown meant a hundred times the distance in the real world.
He is getting further and further away from Angel!
Just when he was extremely anxious and dancing around in the spirit world but had nowhere to put his strength, his eyes suddenly blurred and all the bright colors turned into a dark sky and a sea reflecting the crimson moonlight.
Snap——
He suddenly fell into the water, flapped his wings a few times, swam back to the surface quickly, and stuck his head out.
That "arbitrator" actually just "exiled" him without causing any other harm?
Lapping the water and looking around, Klein's weak night vision didn't reveal any ships or islands. But he was a mid-sequence Beyonder after all. He had made many contingency plans before infiltrating Vice Admiral Disease's Black Death, so he naturally had corresponding methods in case of falling into the water.
He stretched his hand out of the water and snapped his fingers. A burst of fire suddenly exploded dozens of meters above his head. Then, with this as the landing point, Klein's body leaped from the water into the sky.
"Snap", again, he continued to rise dozens of meters in the same way, reaching a height of nearly 100 meters.
Glancing around quickly, Klein quickly determined his position. About 20 nautical miles away, the nameless island where he had just encountered the demigod "Arbitrator" was faintly visible in the moonlight. The sails of the ghost ship "Blue Avenger" were only a tiny dot at this distance. If the moonlight were dimmer, he probably wouldn't be able to spot it with his eyesight.
But, a full twenty nautical miles...
Klein's heart fell from a height just like his body, hitting the water and turning into a paper figure soaked in seawater.
After avoiding the falling damage, he quickly found a few talismans from his pocket and activated them one by one to strengthen himself.
"Underwater breathing", "Ocean affinity"... one by one, the talismans he made using the power bestowed by the "Sea God" were sacrificed, and he was able to gain the ability to move freely underwater.
Unfortunately, it can't compare to Angel's "Siren Form", so the swimming speed is not very fast...
Thinking of Angel, his heart ached again. He quickly found the right direction, paddled with his hands and kicked with his feet, and swam quickly towards the nameless island in a not-so-elegant posture.
If he were on land, he could immediately enter the gray fog space, divine Angel's current situation, use the Poseidon Scepter to bestow a more powerful blessing on himself, or even transform into the "Black Emperor," carrying all the magical items on his body to reach the strongest combat state...
Unfortunately, in the sea, without even the "Creeping Hunger", he could only use the few spells he had prepared in advance, and he couldn't even rush to her side as quickly as possible...
It would take at least an hour to swim back to the island. Although the "arbitrator" didn't seem very hostile, her very presence was extremely dangerous... Klein felt both regret and anger. He regretted not being fully prepared and that his divination wasn't detailed and comprehensive enough. He was angry at his powerlessness in the battle, unable to utilize the gray fog, and sacrificing the "creeping hunger." He could only play a supporting role in the battle against the demigod.
She was so eager to fight me closely because she thought that even if she couldn't defeat me, it would give me a chance to escape... Thinking of this, Klein clenched his teeth in the water.
Suddenly, under the effect of "Ocean Affinity," a film formed in his eyes, allowing Klein to see objects in the water clearly. He felt the dark blue, almost black, seawater in front of him transform into large blocks of bright color. Then, the back of his neck tightened, and he was pulled out of the water and back into the spiritual world.
"Mr. Azik!"
He knew who was coming without looking back.
"What's going on?"
Azik, who was wearing trousers and a shirt, not even a tuxedo, asked calmly. He let go of Klein's hand and pressed his shoulder instead. The two of them floated in the illusory and strange spiritual space.
He must have received my call for help during his break... Klein's heart warmed, but he didn't bother with politeness and quickly told the other party in detail what happened tonight.
"arbitrator……"
After hearing about the battle process of the black-haired, golden-eyed woman who remained unharmed under the "Disaster" spell and easily exiled Klein, Azik frowned and muttered.
"I once fought a royal demigod in the underground ruins near Backlund. He was a Sequence 4 Arbitrator, a Lawmage. But I'm certain he wouldn't have survived the spell that destroyed the Black Death.
"This 'Arbitrator' you're talking about is probably more than Sequence 4."
Klein looked doubtfully towards the island in the spiritual world. It appeared hazy and unclear under the layers of colors.
He didn't understand why he would encounter a Sequence 3 Beyonder on such a deserted island, who even repeatedly issued provocative demands, asking them to "attack him with all their might."
"But it doesn't matter. We'll go get Angel now."
Patting his shoulder comfortingly, Azik put his hand on the top of his head, then remembered that he had forgotten to wear a hat in his haste. He chuckled and suddenly quickened his pace.
"Be careful, it might be a bit bumpy. Our target is not on that island."
————
As soon as he opened his eyes, Angel knew that he was no longer in the real world.
Although the table in front of him and the chair beneath him were of normal shape and not too dark in color, and the wooden walls around them had a textured feel and were not illusory or transparent, Angel, who had entered and exited the spirit world several times, could still distinguish them from real objects.
This time when I died, did I not go to that ruined city, but to the depths of the spiritual world?
She stood up from her chair and tried to summon a wisp of black flame. She discovered that the circumstances of her previous death were different. She still had spirituality and could use extraordinary abilities. The surroundings also...
She raised her eyes and looked around, and suddenly found that the woman with black hair, golden eyes, and light yellow dress was standing beside her, looking at her silently.
Just now, after Angel was "imprisoned", it was this woman named Anne who came close to her body, grabbed her and made her lose consciousness.
Wait, unconscious... I'm not dead?
She reacted, calmed down her panic, put on a calm expression, and asked:
"Where is this? Why didn't you kill me?"
"Why should I kill you?"
Anne's feet were still bare, clacking on the wooden floor, and she came to the center of the room. Angel then noticed that she was only about 1.6 meters tall, half a head shorter than him. Apart from a yellow long dress, she didn't wear any jewelry, and her appearance was too simple, unlike someone of this era.
Even in the spirit world, those feet were spotless, completely different from the other barefoot woman Angel had seen, Ms. Arianna.
"I just said that all you need is a small favor and to attack me with all your might, that's all... Of course, you did that. I'm very interested in the last spell you used. Can you try it again here?"
Speaking of the "disaster" spell, Anne's face showed a mixture of excitement and anticipation.
"Didn't I use it? You're unharmed, and this is the result."
Angel curled his lips, showing no interest in cooperating with the other party's behavior of "playing with prey".
"That's because in the real world... maybe it will work here. Try it again, just once!"
After urging Angel for a few times, the "arbitrator"'s face darkened when he saw that Angel remained unmoved.
"That man just now was your lover, right? I have banished him into the void. If you don't agree to my request, his life will be in danger."
Lover...is she talking about Klein?
Angel's heart moved, but his expression remained unchanged as he pretended not to hear.
This is probably a trick... Unlike the "imprisonment" used on me, Klein was "exiled," likely driven out of the space where the island is located. If Mr. Azik can find him, there might still be a chance to save me... Angel pondered, and seeing Annie's face grow increasingly gloomy, he casually asked:
"What if the spell still has no effect? Like if it kills you like before, but you're immediately resurrected?"
"That talisman of yours is extremely powerful. If it had hit an ordinary High-Sequence Beyonder, they would have been dead. Of course, most demigods have various ways to survive, so it's difficult for the talisman to directly hit them."
This is why I use it close to my body. If I throw it out directly, I'm afraid I won't be able to hit anyone except the High-Sequence Beyonders who want to commit suicide... Angel sighed.
"Besides, that wasn't resurrection, it was because your spell didn't hit my true body. As you can see, my true body is in the spirit world."
It turns out that she is also a spiritual creature...Are there too many spiritual creatures on this island?
But she was very different from spirit beings like the "Gazing Ones." If the latter were attacked and killed in reality, they would not be "resurrected in the spirit world." According to Annie, as long as her spirit body was not attacked, she would be immortal in reality...
"So you 'imprisoned' me just so I could cast the 'disaster' spell on you in the spirit world?"
Angel asked, and when he saw the other party nod in agreement, he couldn't help but laugh:
"You're not thinking of committing suicide, are you? Do you really need to trouble others with something like this?"
Her joking words made Annie fall into silence.
"Come with me."
After a moment, the "arbitrator" waved his hand, opened the door first, and walked out of this narrow room in the spiritual world.
Angel's curiosity at this moment overwhelmed her vigilance. She touched the "Good Luck" revolver and "Knight Bracelet" on her body and found that they were in their places, so she raised her foot and left the room.
Outside the door was a long and narrow corridor with wooden walls and ceiling, and identical doors on both sides, all closed.
This looks a bit like the interior of the Blue Avenger... Wait, this isn't a ship?
Angel followed Anne, walking through corridors and stairs that were stained with rich, somewhat unreal colors but still had a sense of texture. She pushed open a double door and stepped onto a wide platform.
No, it's not a platform, it's a complete deck!
A thick mast stood in the middle of the deck, with sail ropes tied to fixed points extending upward. The black sails above the head were raised high, moving automatically without wind.
There is no sea surface around, and there are illusory, overlapping blocks of color above and below, extending to infinity.
Angel is on a ship floating above the spirit world!
