Chapter 65: Priest



The huge eyes in distinct black and white appear translucent, floating quietly behind the rich and vivid overlapping blocks of color, showing neither hostility nor friendliness.

At this moment, Klein remembered a passage from the notebook "Spiritual World Observations". The ancestor of the Abraham family said:

"Try not to look at any spirit creature for more than three seconds, as this is considered provocative unless they have expressed the message they want to communicate; and don't make yourself appear frightened or nervous, as this will increase the desire of some predators to attack."

The corresponding words flowed through his mind. Klein retracted his gaze and continued to "chase" the hardwood cane flying in front of him, at a speed that was neither fast nor slow.

He was wearing full black armor, a black crown, and a cloak of the same color. His figure entered the round eye, then quickly passed through and disappeared without causing any change.

Essentially speaking, the spirit world is a very dangerous place. If you are not careful, you may encounter a terrifying demigod-level existence... Klein continued to travel and found that it was really quite chaotic here. Although the seven bright lights that could have marked the location were always located high up and covered the "sky", he could often see them at his feet, left and right, front and back.

If it weren't for the black cane to guide him, Klein wouldn't have been able to tell the direction.

Suddenly, through the thin and empty mist, he saw a floating castle in the lower left corner in the normal concept. It was completely black, with a towering pointed roof and covered with vines, and had a very Gothic style.

At the top of the castle, there stood a translucent woman. She was almost as tall as the castle, wearing a complicated, gorgeous, yet dark and gloomy black dress. She had no head, and there was a neat incision on her neck. Her drooping hands held up four blond, red-eyed, bright-looking heads. If you look closely, you will find that these heads are exactly the same.

When Klein, dressed as the "Black Emperor," passed by, the four heads held by the woman blinked together.

Klein did not respond and flew forward as if he saw nothing.

The woman slowly turned around, holding the head in her hands, and watched him go away.

What kind of monsters are these... Just as Klein had this thought, he saw the black cane falling rapidly.

He hurried to catch up and once again experienced the feeling of free fall.

Seven or eight seconds later, a faint sight of collapsed buildings appeared "in front of" him.

Outside the building, there was a giant jellyfish-like spiritual creature floating. It stretched out transparent tentacles covered with mucus and incorporated the surrounding area into its "territory".

At the top of each tentacle was a white skull with deep eye sockets, which swayed gently and slowly.

The black cane passed through the strange-looking spiritual creatures and hovered in front of the almost unreal collapsed building.

Found it? Klein was delighted at first, then he looked at the giant "jellyfish" waving its skull head in a serious manner.

He was ready for a fight, but did not act immediately. Instead, he tried to radiate the deep majesty brought by the high-level characteristics of the "Black Emperor" card, and looked indifferently into those dark and deep eye sockets.

Three frozen seconds passed, and Klein spoke in a low voice, uttering a word in ancient Hermetic language:

"leave!"

The tentacles with the skull head trembled twice, and the giant "jellyfish" slowly floated up and disappeared into the depths of the spiritual world.

This "Black Emperor" card is still very useful... I've even considered throwing away Mr. Azik's copper whistle. The descendants of the God of Death should still have some face in the spirit world... Klein breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head, and grasped the black hardwood cane.

Then, with implicit expectation, he fell into the ruins of the collapsed building.

For him, even if the people from the Storm Church and the Kingdom’s military had already found this place in advance and taken away the most valuable items, he would be quite satisfied as long as there was still some left.

Even if there is nothing, it is enough to study the elven ruins and see what information they left behind... Klein penetrated the curtain-like "barrier" of nothingness and suddenly felt that the air around him became sticky and heavy.

There were shimmering waves around him, coming from the deep blue water that filled the area.

At the bottom of the sea is an ancient and dark ruin, and all the buildings have collapsed or semi-collapsed.

A huge pillar engraved with strange patterns and symbols stretched out from the center, tending to reach the top floor. It seemed to have supported this place in the past, but now it has broken and is half-leaning on the top of a nearby building.

Klein recognized this place and this pillar. This was the hiding place of "Sea God" Kalvetuwa, a secluded place where reality and the spiritual world merged.

At this moment, an unwilling, painful, angry, and crazy scream echoed for a long time without weakening. It was the resentful roar that Kalvetuwa made before his death.

It is indeed dead... Klein held the black cane and landed on the blue-gray stone road in front of the ancient ruins.

On both sides of the avenue stood pillars that were neither thick nor tall, and on them were strange patterns that were somewhat different from the current symbolic symbols and magic signs.

At the base of each stone pillar, there is a figure sitting, some of them wearing old robes, and some wearing fashionable brown jackets.

As soon as they sensed someone approaching, they picked up swords, axes and other weapons, climbed up stiffly but swiftly, and turned to where Klein was, revealing their weathered gray-black faces and shriveled bodies that had no sense of flesh and blood.

Their fanatical and numb eyes were simultaneously cast at Klein, who was wearing a black crown and black armor.

A devout believer of Kalvetuwa... However, this also means that the Church of Storms and the Kingdom's military have not yet found this place... Klein sighed, infused his spirituality into the "Sun Brooch", and whispered a word in ancient Hermetic language:

"sacred!"

He activated the "Sacred Oath" that came with the "Sun Brooch" and used the corresponding ancient Hermetic words to temporarily increase the sacred damage of his attacks.

Bang!

Klein shook his wrist and swung his cane.

He crouched slightly and rushed towards the first "Poseidon Guard" who came running towards him.

While running at high speed, Klein suddenly moved his body to the left to avoid the enemy's axe. He swung his forearm back and used his cane to slash the opponent's body, leaving a clear mark on the gray-white body.

Within that mark, a clear golden flame rose silently, instantly enveloping the "Poseidon Guardian" and burning it to the point of crumbling.

Push!

Klein exerted force on his feet and passed the enemy.

Behind him, the completely dried-up "Poseidon Guard" finally fell down and turned into ashes in the golden flames.

Dengdangdang! Klein lowered his back and walked quickly forward, sometimes turning sideways, sometimes stepping sideways to pass by each of the Poseidon Guards.

At the same time, he waved his cane, whipping, stabbing, chopping, and scratching, leaving different marks on the mummy-like guards.

Tap! Tap! Tap! Klein passed this road and arrived in front of the half-collapsed ruins.

Behind his gently lifted black cloak, the "Poseidon Guards" turned into golden torches, illuminating the blue-gray stone slabs and patterned pillars.

In a flurry of activity, the guards fell down one after another, and there was no more movement.

Klein stepped onto the stairs and entered the building where the half-collapsed pillar was located.

The first thing that caught his eye was an unimaginably huge blue-green sea snake, its body covered with slippery scales and patterns similar to the various symbols in the ruins.

Its huge mouth opened and bit the pillar, and its curved creamy white fangs pierced into it.

Its body below the head hung to the ground, coiled and occupying one-third of the vast hall, like an undulating blue hill, but covered with various wounds, some bloody and some visible bones.

Bits of mysterious blue-green light were already emanating from its body, slowly converging towards one of its teeth that was longer than a human arm, causing the slightly bent and sharp white bone to slowly straighten.

Its dying howl echoed violently here, causing Klein's physical spirit to show signs of slight instability.

At this time, next to Kavituwa's body, there was an old man wearing a clergyman's soft hat lying.

His hair was gray, his body was like gray rock, his face was close to the snake's body, and he made meaningless sounds from his throat. No one knew what he was doing.

Around the giant snake body, there were weathered mummies lying down. They were the same as the "Poseidon Guards" outside, but even more bizarre, with swollen abdomens and even ruptured abdomens. In addition, their mouths were covered with dark red blood and hung with slightly bluish strips of meat.

The same blue light spots were oozing out from their bodies, flowing towards the white fang that was gradually straightening up.

Before Klein had time to think about what this scene meant, the old man wearing a clergyman's soft hat who was lying on Kalvetuwa staggered to his feet and turned around.

His eyes flashed with a blue light, his mouth was blood red, and his teeth were biting the meat hard.

Where his face was just now, Kalvetuwa's snake body was in a mess, with a lot of flesh and blood missing, and you could almost see the white bones.

He is eating the body of "Sea God" Kalvetuwa alive!

This... Klein frowned and roughly understood what happened here:

After Kalvetuwa's death, the priests and guards in the hall lost control and began to frantically devour its flesh.

At this time, the extraordinary characteristics had not yet been fully released, and a considerable portion of them were contained in Kalvetuwa's body. As a result, many guards suffered from an overdose of "magic potion" or conflicts between the characteristics of different pathways, and they collapsed on the spot and died completely.

But there are always lucky ones among them, who will survive the sudden death stage, or go out of control and become disgusting monsters, or directly skip several sequences and become strong, or because of the mixture of characteristics from different paths, become lunatics with twisted and evil abilities.

No matter which one it is, it is a very dangerous thing!

Klein's gaze moved down from the surviving priest's face to his belly, which was bulging like that of a pregnant woman.

It was swelling and contracting powerfully, as if there was a huge heart.
