Chapter 568 Two Demigods?
Late at night before escaping, in the luxurious suite on the top floor of "Blue Wind".
"Since we left separately, why did we exchange identities?"
Klein asked with a frown.
It's not that he didn't believe in Angel's wisdom, but this proposal made him feel vaguely uneasy. Two months ago, the other party secretly planned to increase the reward amount and wanted to "keep everything for himself" once again surfaced in his mind.
"Because they are clearly targeting you."
Angel, sitting on the single sofa with his legs crossed, explained patiently.
"On Oravi Island, the 'Cult of the Celestials' plotted against you, and the 'Mother Tree of Desire' was also targeting you. Just now, when 'Orange Light' Hilarion mentioned 'the characteristics of the body', he was mainly referring to you, right?"
Klein was speechless. He held many secrets. Even apart from his identity as The Fool, the gray fog that could block the gods' counterattacks, penetrate divination interference, and leave his fate unaffected was also the target coveted by the Mother Tree of Desire.
Of course, this was just his guess. Perhaps the "Mother Tree of Desire" was just as its name suggests, and only wanted its believers to have a child with it?
He smiled self-deprecatingly, acknowledging his own peculiarity.
"So, during the escape tomorrow morning, the Blood Admiral and the Rose School will definitely choose you as their first target," Angel continued, seeing that he remained silent. "This gives us the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on them."
"Hit... them severely?"
Klein felt a little lost in thought. All he could think about was how to escape. He used the copper whistle to ask Mr. Azik for help, signed a contract with the headless messenger, and begged her for help with ten thousand gold coins. He even used the help of Danitz, a new "Fool" believer stationed in the rebels' private port, to contact the "Redheaded Girl" to make preparations in advance.
But I never thought about how to fight back.
That's the demigod of the "Rose School"...
After meeting Admiral Amyrius, the demigod, Klein no longer took demigods seriously.
Because I can't let go.
But he immediately remembered that the woman in front of him had faced the "Witch of Despair" Panatia in Backlund, and even used her Sequence 6 strength to delay the arrival of the angel of the Church of Evernight.
The word "retreat" probably doesn't exist in her mind.
"Well, tell me about your method."
After adjusting his mindset, Klein smiled slightly and said.
"It's simple. We exchange identities and most of our magical items, then separate and leave Bayam. The Rose School will inevitably focus on me. According to Orange Light, they'll capture us alive, not kill us. Due to the disparity in power, the 'German' I'm impersonating will be captured, and then they'll go after you."
Angel said, pointing to the various magical items on the table.
Here are the "Creeping Hunger" and "Good Luck" revolvers that were taken to the sea, as well as the newly acquired "Groselle's Travels" and "Death Bell". More than ten magical items illustrate the worth of the two.
"I will carry magical items sufficient to impersonate you, such as the Creeping Hunger and Deathstroke revolvers, as well as the 'Hypocrisy' ring... Most importantly, the 'Betrayal' spell, which has been infused with spirituality and can be activated at any time.
"And you use the Faceless Man's ability to transform into me, take the 'Rose Necklace' and 'Groselle's Travels', and leave in another direction. The farther away we are, the better."
As she spoke, Klein's eyes gradually widened.
"You're going to use Groselle's Travels to escape?"
He immediately thought of the most important and magical function of this magical book: by smearing blood, the owner of the blood would be sucked into the world in the book.
"Yes, you carry it, along with my blood, so you can 'rescue' me from anywhere at any time... The signal to do so is the ability of the 'Apostle of Desire' herded by the Rose Necklace, 'Malice Sense'."
Angel nodded, pleased with the other party's reaction.
"At the right moment, I will let you sense my murderous intent. The range of this ability won't exceed a city as large as Backlund, and Bayam is much smaller than the 'City of Myriad Capitals.'
"At that time, you will smear my blood on Groselle's Travels, allowing me to enter the world within the book. The talisman I carry, which is infused with spirituality and can be activated at any time, will fall where it is due to the book's rejection..."
"Based on your experience when you first entered the travelogue and returned to the Golden Dream, as long as you recite the opening spell in the book, you can activate the spell left in the outside world, severely damaging the members of the Rose School who are bound to be with you. Then you can use the characteristics of the travelogue to return to my side and escape together?"
Klein took over the conversation, his face full of excitement.
Half of it was out of approval of the plan, and the other half was... he didn't expect Angel to be able to apply all the current magical items and their mechanisms so thoroughly.
"Yes, they're all here to hunt down Gehrman Sparrow, and Angelica Thatch must be safe. After severely inflicting heavy damage on the enemy, we can use this opportunity to leave Blue Mountain Island where Bayam is..."
Angel concluded with a quirk of his lips.
————
Seeing the figure of "German Sparrow" appear, Klein confirmed that the plan had been successful.
"She came out..."
He used the "Faceless Man" ability to transform into Angel's appearance, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground.
But then he immediately shouted:
"Run, it's dangerous!"
Contrary to expectations, there are two demigods of the "Rose School", and one of them is fighting in ghost state with the headless messenger lady, Renette Tinicole, who arrived in time behind him, and it is difficult to determine the winner!
Angel, who had just landed, obviously didn't understand the situation. Although she immediately followed Klein's warning and ran towards the cliff without hesitation, her eyes still subconsciously looked back, looking at the dense forest that showed no abnormalities.
The next second, her brown eyes each showed the figure of an old man with thin limbs, dark and wrinkled skin, and a dehydrated look.
Her body, which still retained the appearance of "German", became stiff and she instantly lost control of her body.
With just this casual glance, she was possessed by another hidden demigod of the "Rose School"!
Klein had already run a few steps at this time. Seeing Angel standing still, he turned back without hesitation, took out the "Good Luck" revolver loaded with purifying bullets, aimed at Angel's shoulder, and prepared to use a non-lethal but purifying attack to free the other party from the possession.
But the one who moved faster than him was Renette Tinicole, who suddenly appeared above the two of them, floating quietly.
The messenger lady, wearing a black long dress and with nothing above her neck, was holding only two human heads in her hands. One of them fell from her hands like a ripe fruit, her golden hair fluttering, and her bright red eyes staring at Angel, whose limbs were stiff.
Then, it opened its mouth and took a silent breath.
A translucent figure emerged from Angel's body. It was the old man who had appeared in her eyes before. His skin was dry and wrinkled, his limbs were strangely elongated, and there was only an irregular hole on his face, as if he was a deformed fetus.
After being forcibly pulled out, he did not hesitate at all. His figure flashed and appeared beside a puddle in the distance, then he entered the spiritual world and disappeared without a trace.
Renette's figure floating in the air also disappeared simultaneously, entering the spirit world and engaging in a silent battle with the demigod.
Angel's stiff body slowly returned to normal. She took out the doll made of her own blonde hair from her windbreaker and found that it had turned completely black and even began to burn.
After being possessed for one second, the damage to her stand doll was even greater than the damage suffered by all the previous possessions combined!
That strange "fetus old man" just now is much stronger than "Zatwin" who was with Senior...
Angel threw away the doll that began to burn and quickly turned into ashes. He didn't dare to stay any longer. Together with Klein, who had put away his "Good Luck" pistol, he ran along the grass towards the distant cliff.
Behind them was still the silent forest.
…
Below the cliff, a three-masted sailboat painted bright red with a silhouette of a woman's face painted on its flamboyant sails was spinning continuously, adjusting the angle of the sails from time to time to maintain its speed.
On the deck, Elaine, wearing the "Ring of Madness" and with her long brown hair fluttering in the wind, was looking up with a worried look on her face.
Beside her, there were only less than twenty sailors operating the sails and rigging under the command of the boatswain William, maintaining the basic operation of the "Redhead Lady". If even a few more people were missing, the ship would not be able to move at all.
Most of the sailors stayed in port after hearing about the dangers of the journey.
"The presence of these people is beyond my expectation. After all, this is an operation that could cost one's life..."
She thought with relief.
Among these sailors were retired navy officers, retired pirates, and even believers of the Church of Storms. They joined her team with various purposes, but gradually became her solid backing due to her sincere treatment and her combination of kindness and force.
Of course, Elaine suspected that there were more reasons why they risked their lives to follow her. After all, after listening to Angelica's advice, she would take off the "Ring of Madness" when she was in the captain's room to reduce the accumulation of various negative effects.
And there are always times when my true appearance is accidentally seen by other sailors...
"After this, I might as well take off the ring and show my true face. I'm not so afraid of Tracy anymore..."
Her wandering thoughts were interrupted by two figures appearing on the edge of the cliff. They stood on the edge of the cliff and hesitated for a moment, then jumped down one after another, falling rapidly towards the sea.
"Here they come, full left, heading north!"
Elaine shouted, watching the sailors who trusted her get busy and soon pointed the bow to the north.
She gathered a ball of fiery red flame in her hand and held it high.
Bang, bang——
Flames shot up, accompanied by two almost simultaneous sounds. Angel and Klein used "flame jumping" to directly reach the deck of the "Redhead Girl".
"Hurry, Elaine, get away as fast as you can, the farther the better!"
Angel, still dressed as a man, said to Elaine.
Klein took out a few "Poseidon" charms, summoning a strong wind that inflated the sails, allowing the sailboat to quickly leave the sea below the cliff in an almost catapult-like manner.
Behind them, in the dense forest above the cliff, a shrill, sharp roar suddenly came.
The voice was like that of a baby, yet full of malice, causing everyone on the boat, which was already quite a distance away, to cover their ears and feel dizzy.
Compared with ordinary sailors without extraordinary powers, several extraordinary people were affected much more. Angel and Klein had small bumps on their bodies, their eye sockets were red, and their eyeballs were bulging. They were almost out of control. Elaine even rolled on the deck. Her first mate "Lucky William" had a "monster" way of inspiration that was different from ordinary people. His eyes rolled back and he passed out.
Above the cliff, as the demigod of the "Rose School" appeared with a body like a large black baby and roared madly, the blue sky in this area seemed to be stained with a hint of darkness.
