Secret: The years I served as a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

Chapter 242 The Fight Escalates
507
Klein ran in a serpentine manner, holding Groselle's Travels above his head, and made adjustments from time to time based on his premonition of danger.

This book blocked the streaking lightning, caught the raindrops that could corrode the rocks, and shielded the terrifying gazes that were staring at him. It helped Klein to successfully pass through the lifeless forest and reach the edge of the cliff.

At this moment, the surroundings suddenly became dark. It was not the kind of darkness that was caused by the approaching heavy rain, nor was it caused by the absence of moon and stars. It was just dead silent and filled with the smell of decay.

From time to time, there were whispers, some far away, some high, some low, and in the air there was the sound of something breathing slowly.

Klein, who was afraid of the dark, trembled and dared not look at what was happening above his head. He could only notice a few white feathers with pale yellow oil stains circling and falling nearby when the lightning flashed.

He took a step forward with his right foot, rushed out of the cliff, then fell straight down, out of the darkness and saw the light.

Then he fell into a big mouth that seemed to have been prepared for a long time.

There were no teeth in this mouth, which suddenly closed and sank to the bottom of the sea. According to the prior agreement, it swam quickly to a reef outside Blue Mountain Island.

This is a huge sea creature with sixteen fins on its back.

In the lightless darkness, Klein, who was endowed with the weakness of "fear of the dark" by the "Death Knell", instinctively wanted to curl up into a ball and tremble helplessly, but he managed to suppress this emotion and took out the extraordinary characteristic of "Priest of Light" that he had prepared in advance to deal with the "ghost".

It comes from the one with the gloves before.

Pure light emanated from the transparent stone-like object, dispelling Klein's fear.

He was just thinking about whether to wait for the end or try to do something else, when he suddenly felt an itch on the back of his hand.

He quickly looked down and saw that the pores there were densely opened and some white fluff had grown.

These hairs grow so fast that they seem to be turning into feathers!

Klein immediately felt that every part of his body was itching!
The guy that Tongshou brought is really dangerous! Klein had some experience, so he stood up immediately, walked four steps backwards in the mouth of the underwater creature, and chanted a spell in a low voice.

His spirit once again passed through the gray-white fog filled with countless whispers and roars. Streams of black and green gas emerged from his body. He struggled hard but disappeared without any resistance.

Returning to the palace that looked like a giant's residence, Klein once again examined the state of his spirit and found that it had returned to normal. There was no black or green gas and no white feathers.

Phew, it worked… He exhaled and immediately returned to the real world.

Under the illumination of the extraordinary characteristics of the Priest of Light, Klein saw that the white hair on the back of his hand was still there, but it had lost the ability to continue growing. There were more or less traces on other parts of his body, but they were not too obvious.

“Well, when Mr. Azik comes, there should be a way to solve the remaining problems.” Klein breathed a sigh of relief and drew a crimson moon in his mind, praying for the goddess’s blessing and for Mr. Azik to come soon.

……

The last two items Klein threw out, the gloves containing the whispers of the "True Creator" did not have much effect, but the copper whistle made the battle, which was based on angels, even more chaotic.

The arm wrapped in old white bandages dodged the glove with mumbling sounds, but grabbed the strange copper whistle. Almost in the next moment, countless white, oily feathers emerged from the fingers, the gaps between the fingers, and every gap under the bandages, and transformed the bones of the arm into wings! As soon as the feathers emerged, they quickly turned black and rotted, and then grew again. This cycle repeated several times, seriously affecting Suea's movements.

An invisible, smoke-like, elusive and powerful being was summoned by an unremarkable copper whistle. The sky suddenly became dark, and the wings of death spread, descending over the cliff and above everyone's head.

Renette Tinicole took advantage of the situation and attacked. The head that she had been holding in her hand and had never spoken suddenly opened its mouth and cast the vicious curse that she had been brewing for a long time at the other party!
Suea's arm was visibly twisted, and the feathers that had been gradually suppressed began to grow out again at a faster rate, but the layers of bandages suddenly collapsed, and the blurry human face formed by the clouds in the sky twisted hideously, forming an extremely painful expression. An indescribable scream resounded in the spiritual world corresponding to the cliff, dispersing Renette's curse, and rushed towards Renette with undiminished power!

The three heads on the latter's neck opened their mouths at the same time and let out a silent scream, offsetting the impact of the attack.

At the same time, a crack appeared on the dry skin under the bandage, and a dark eye suddenly opened, reflecting the figure of Renette!

In front of a higher order, Renette Tinicolt suddenly felt that everything around her and even the spiritual world itself were rejecting her existence. Every blade of grass, every tree, every dew, and every air were filled with murderous intent. Even all the material and spiritual existence in her small world attacked Renette madly. Even her own spirituality turned against her at this moment and became restless, intending to wipe her out!

Renette knew she was no match for her opponent and immediately retreated deep into the spirit world.

After forcing back this "ancient evil", the curse on Suea disappeared immediately, and the old bandages covered with mystical patterns quickly wrapped around his arm, wrapping the arm that had begun to transform into a wing layer by layer, tightly wrapping it and slowly recovering.

A "door" opened in the sky, and the "Secret Saint" Butis stood inside the door in confusion, watching the melee. Before the "Sea King" arrived, he picked up the "Fire" gloves that were casually thrown on the ground, closed the door and left.

Sua grabbed Jax again and instantly wrapped the severely deformed opponent into a mummy, retreated back to the spirit world, and quickly left the Rhoside Archipelago.

The strange monster that came with the copper whistle had no fixed shape, just like the evolution of death itself. It was like a mist, filling the surroundings, but it had many white feathers with light yellow stains. Seeing Suea leave with the copper whistle, he followed with a clear goal.

Traces of the battle were left on the mountain outside Bayam City. A forest had lost all its vitality, and the tip of the cliff disappeared, turning into a strange trapezoid.

Fortunately, there was the sea below and no one was injured.

Ten seconds before the arrival of "Sea King" Yann Kautman, all the characters involved in the melee ran away. "Sea King", who witnessed everything, felt his vitality decreasing, his emotions became more irritable, and he even heard the faint muttering of the "True Creator".

Feeling that he had made great progress on the road to death, Courtman was very depressed. He witnessed the departure of everyone (not a human) and then thought of the source of the melee, the only person who was not on the official wanted list -

He cast his gaze towards the half-collapsed cliff, looked down at the waves crashing against the island, and whispered a name:
"Gehrman Sparrow!"

508
"boom!"

Jax was thrown off the road and thrown into a Rose School stronghold, collapsing the roof.

His incomplete mythical creature form had already disintegrated, and he fell to the ground in a daze, shocking the people around him.

The Rose School members around were about to help the demigod up when they suddenly felt creepy. They felt as if everything in the house had come to life and had eyes. The crooked beams seemed to suddenly fall down and blow their heads off, and the bricks under their feet seemed to suddenly burst, letting the fragments shoot into their eyes and brains like bullets and cut off their bones.

They all broke out in cold sweats, but the fear did not last long and disappeared after just one second. Then, they found that white feathers covered with yellow oil began to emerge from their bodies and quickly aged.

In just twenty seconds, an ordinary person without any extraordinary abilities turned into a white-haired corpse and fell to the ground. Then a Sequence 9 Extraordinary was about to enter the end of his life. The remaining people finally reacted and screamed and used Sealed Objects to fight back.

The same thing happened from time to time, gradually forming a strange and twisted route, but most of the victims were just ordinary people, and they fell to the ground and died almost silently in the moment of madness.

……

Sia Eggers was reading the first edition of the Declaration of Independence presented to her by her staff when a picture suddenly emerged in her spiritual intuition.

A humanoid creature, whose entire body was wrapped in cloth and dressed in a simple gray robe, appeared in His mind, revealing a contradictory aura of madness, evil, repression, and rationality.

What's even more bizarre is that this humanoid creature actually has one arm as a wing, and it's a wing with white feathers and covered in yellow oil!

The wings were shrinking, the feathers were falling off quickly, and they turned back into arms. Two eyes were revealed from the gaps in the bandages on the humanoid's face. One was dark black, full of insane malice that could drive people crazy and kill them with just one glance, and the other was cyan, hidden in the gray hair. Behind this creature was a dark shadow that was impossible to see through, like death itself!
Xia Eggers stood up suddenly.

"Artificial Death!"

He was so surprised that he almost lost his voice. Those special feathers and dark shadows all pointed to one thing in mysticism, that is death!
More importantly, as the "Pale Emperor", he actually felt suppression and resistance from that shadow!
The uniqueness that was activated by the Spirit Cult, the uniqueness that was hidden somewhere unknown, actually appeared in the spirit world!

“Can you handle it?”

After two seconds, the image disappeared and turned into a line of illusory text that appeared in Xia Eggers' mind.

Si'a... The "Pale Queen" guessed the other party's identity and immediately responded with spirituality: "I can't handle it."

"Why did the artificial Grim Reaper appear?"

The line of words in my mind collapsed and disappeared, turning into an ordinary copper whistle.

Copper whistle? The pattern and style are Balam style, but I can't tell who it belongs to... There is actually a copper whistle that can attract the artificial death god. The artificial death god faction never told me about this!
During the brief exchange, Su'a had been chased by the artificial god of death across a quarter of the southern continent. The two of them left extremely conspicuous mystical traces wherever they passed in the spiritual world. The breath of death and madness even seeped out from the spiritual world, taking the life of every creature they touched or turning it into a madman.

The power of Sequence One "Divine Evil" is definitely not able to defeat the Angel King of the "Death" path, but escaping and fighting are no problem.

Su'a fought and retreated, keeping his distance, and circled in the spiritual world above the southern continent with the incarnation of death.

Xia Eggers inexplicably felt a terrifying aura beginning to surround him, as if a layer of haze covered the sky above his head and his heart. This proved that the "artificial god of death" had reached the range that he could sense, and he quickly thought of a countermeasure.

No, there is actually no need to think about countermeasures!
Because even with the addition of Suea, it would be difficult for him to defeat this strange animated thing. After all, the artificial god of death is unique and is the "only" way. During the battle, He can temporarily occupy all the anchors belonging to Xia Eggers and let his spirituality go out of control!
The best way is for Suea to throw the whistle back and let the "artificial god of death" leave.

but--

——After this artificial god of death leaves, there may never be a chance to find any trace of this uniqueness in the outside world again.

It was extremely rare that a bold and crazy idea appeared in Xia Eggers' mind. This idea made his hands tremble slightly.

"Mirela!"

"Mirella!!"

The Queen shouted at the door twice, frightening the spirits in the room. Then, without waiting for the spirits to call for help, She threw away the documents in her hand and strode into the spirit world. She instantly appeared in front of Mirella, who was writing a letter to her adopted son, and frightened the latter to kneel down behind the desk on the spot.

Xia Eggers picked him up directly. Mirella felt that the Queen, who was always calm, dignified and courteous, had an unusually anxious expression and movements today. He instinctively felt that something big might happen, and his heart began to beat wildly.

The Pale Queen took a deep breath. In fact, she no longer needed to breathe, but at the moment she had to use this action to slightly relieve the tension in her heart.

As quietly and quickly as possible, He spoke to Mirella:
"The artificial Grim Reaper has appeared in the outside world. I can't let this opportunity go."

"If I don't come back, the Spiritual Cult will be fully managed by High Priest Haitel!"

"You must not complain, and you must assist High Priest Haiter with all your strength!"

But you said before that the Artificial Death God Faction could not be trusted! Mirella almost had an irregular heartbeat. He wanted to speak, but Xia Eggers glared at him with full authority, and he immediately lost all the courage to resist.

"... Don't worry, no matter whether I can come back or not." Xia Eggers showed a fleeting smile on her face, with relief and joy, "A true strong man will be born in the Path of Death, a strong man who can do more."

Mirella understood everything at once. He whimpered anxiously and struggled to break free from the Queen's hand. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed again and again, letting his forehead hit the marble floor heavily.

He felt the pressure on his throat disappear, and immediately shouted in his old, hoarse voice:

"You are the emperor of Balam, the only emperor!"

"No matter what you become, I will dedicate my life and everything to you!"

"May your majesty return triumphantly!"

He closed his eyes tightly, kowtowed heavily again, and shouted:
"I wish your majesty a triumphant return!!!"

Xia Eggers's movements paused for half a second, and his usually sharp and cold eyes softened for a moment. Then, he walked around Mirella and strode towards the open balcony in the room behind her.

The breath of death rushed in, and thousands of spirits prostrated themselves respectfully at the emperor's feet.

He regained his usual icy calmness, stretched out his hand, and took the black iron and gold-inlaid scepter from the kneeling spirit at his feet. The scepter was engraved with the Balam Empire's indestructible laws.

The other hand took out a white lantern emitting a dark red light. The wick was a flower with a mouth, and the light was a round red fruit growing from the flower's mouthparts, like a moon.

The lantern emitted a vibrant, yet strangely eerie red light.

Saint-level bones rose from the shadows at the feet of the Queen, covering Him with a luxurious pure black shawl. The shawl was embroidered with strong winds and tsunamis with silver threads, ice disasters and blizzards with gems and crystals, and the cracked earth and falling sky were outlined with gold threads, condensing all kinds of doomsday disasters on this exquisite and beautiful shawl.

The shawl seems to carry endless temptation, tempting people to pick it up, put it on, master the power that creates those disasters, and become its slaves.

The only thing is that He did not wear a crown, because Balam's crown had long been taken away by the colonists in the war, which was a shame that could never be forgotten.

The skeleton dragon flew out from the spirit world, pulling a gorgeous and noble chariot and stopped in the sky outside the balcony. It roared silently towards the sky, and faint pale flames burned in its eyes.

Xia Eggers stepped onto the windowsill and onto the emperor's chariot. He looked down at the densely packed people and ministers kneeling on the ground, then pulled the reins hard, allowing the undead dragon to rush into the spirit world.

Mirella knelt on the ground, and only stood up hastily after Xia Eggers left. He raised his body, which was almost out of control under the majesty of the emperor, rushed out of his study, rushed to the hall where the crowd gathered, and shouted:

"Take out all the criminals in prison!"

Facing the dazed gazes of the crowd, he roared once again:

"No matter if they are on death row or not, bring them out! If not, catch them now! Seal off the city square and prepare to hold a sacrificial ceremony for Her Majesty the Queen!!"

……

"I can handle the artificial reaper."

At the moment of entering the spiritual world, He responded to Suea solemnly:
"Lead the artificial Grim Reaper to the southern Hagati Steppe, where it meets the mountains. I will intercept it there."

"Sua, please assist me! I swear as the Pale Emperor that whether I win or die, from now on, the Spirit Cult will be the most loyal ally of the Rose School, and we will support you in every battle!"

About a second later, Suea replied sparingly:

"Row."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Eggles suddenly felt that the inexplicable haze that shrouded her heart began to quickly move away.

"Great God of Death, Balam's many ancestor emperors, and my father who has returned to the embrace of death... please give me your blessing."

"Please bless your useless descendants!"

He took one last, deep look in the direction of his country. The bone dragon flapped its wings, and the emperor's chariot quickly moved through the colorful spiritual world.

He flew quickly to the uninhabited forest at the junction of the mountains and grasslands, and without hesitation faced his own ladder to godhood, or death.

……

Klein hid in the belly of the marine creature, quietly waiting for Azik's arrival. At this moment, the figure of Renette Tinicole appeared before his eyes.

This messenger lady has three heads on her head and is holding one in her hand, which makes her look more vivid than before.

She stretched out her free left hand, grabbed Klein's shoulder, and took him directly into the spirit world, traveling quickly.

Amidst the layers of bright colors, Klein felt a little dizzy before returning to reality and finding himself on a reef.

Renette Tinicole glanced at each of the four heads and said:

"Already..." "Safe..." "After..." "Remember..." "Pay..."

After saying that, she disappeared as if she had something important to do.

It can be done this way... I should have let the messenger take me away in this way... However, looking at her current condition, she doesn't seem to be in good condition. This should be a form and method that she would not normally use... Klein sighed as he put the Beyonder characteristic of the "Priest of Light" into his pocket, leaving only "Groselle's Travels" outside.

He was delighted to find that a few drops of Senior's blood had splashed onto the cover of the travel journal. With the wonderful expectation that he might obtain a powerful secret doll, and having successfully escaped from the melee, Klein was in a good mood.

Just as he was about to look around and confirm his current position, another hand reached out and grabbed his shoulder.

Klein was startled and quickly turned his head to look, and found that it was Mr. Azik who came.

Azik grabbed his shoulders and took him into the spirit world again, running quickly in layers of bright colors.

...Actually, I'm safe now... Klein's mouth twitched, but he didn't say this out loud.

He chose to remain silent. After waiting quietly for dozens of seconds, on a deserted island in an unknown sea, the figures of Klein and Azik quickly appeared on the edge of the beach.

Just as Klein was about to speak, the brown eyes of Azik, who was wearing a formal suit and a top hat and had a bronze complexion, suddenly became deep, as if he was connected to a dead, dark world.

Azik seemed to have seen something, and suddenly revealed an expression of extreme shock and surprise.

He didn’t know if it was Klein’s illusion, but he seemed to see a trace of fear on Azik’s face.

Thinking Misconceptions:
Why do I have to choose from the conditions of the night? Why do I have to listen to her?
Xia: Damn it, this is a golden opportunity. I'll die. Who among the followers of the God of Death is afraid of death? If I win, I will become a 2+1 Angel King. If I lose, the artificial God of Death will take my brain and continue to be the 2+1 Angel King. It's a win-win situation for both of us! Kill!
