Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 512 Negotiation
Although it's unclear how the Eye of Thought connected with the temple in the Dream Realm, Daisy certainly did.

Milo only saw her bowing and praying for a short while at the edge of the worship pit from a distance, and then, not long after, the layered walls of shadow appeared above the ancient altar.

Perhaps learning from Joan's experience, the knights on the other side of the wall did not dare to boldly step into the world of consciousness this time.

I wouldn't even dare to project it.

Since the other knights besides Jon Byrne were all eliminated in the form of projections last time, and Milo has proven that he is capable of killing the opponent's true form through the barrier, it is reasonable for the temple knights to be more conservative this time.

The knight figure on the other side of the barrier watched for a long time but did not step over.

Daisy simply tilted her head back calmly, waiting for the temple's messenger to "muster up her courage."

...

In the shadows in the distance, Milo raised his hand and placed it on Dillah's shoulder, and both of them were quickly enveloped by the black substance surging from behind.

There was no other way. The Golden Law Temple had suffered too much last time. The annihilation of the Knights might only be considered a disgrace, but to have a carefully nurtured and cultivated Law Blade killed in its cradle before it could even grow up was tantamount to burying the resources the temple had accumulated for at least a century, including various treasures and the faith of the entire population of the shattered floating city.

……

After observing from behind the barrier for nearly ten minutes and confirming that they did not see the figure of the god of death on this side of the world, they began to try to make contact with the barrier.

That cautiousness was exactly the same as when you stand in the shower in winter testing the water temperature.

Although the people in the temple launched a brutal and ruthless revenge campaign, they directly severed the faith of the entire nation on this side, leaving it to fend for itself, and even almost wiped out the Red Witch.

It's important to know that Milo has never mentioned his relationship with the Scarlet Witch to anyone. Their supposed mentorship is actually quite mysterious, and even Milo himself hasn't fully figured it out. Yet, even such a vague relationship was detected and retaliated against by the temple. This shows just how vengeful those shadows who depend on the Golden Tree are.

That is why Milo will be on the highest alert for the figure that will step over the barrier next.

This time, the order of knights that comes will definitely not be the same useless knights as last time.

Just as Milo had said beforehand, if the person crossing over made any unfriendly move towards Daisy, he would abandon the entire plan and execute the person on the spot, without any room for negotiation.

……

The projected object still appears on the interface barrier with its superimposed shadows.

It was a slender shadow covered in thin, close-fitting armor. Due to its excessively long physique, the image was so distorted in the reflection that it was stretched too much, making it look less like a human and more like a vine or a withered branch hanging from a golden tree.

A thin, misty cloak draped over its back, connecting to the hood on its head. It appeared and disappeared as it fluttered, and when it vanished, it also turned the figure it covered into an illusion. It seemed to be made of some kind of material with invisibility properties, which made its already illusory figure like the moon in the water, which would be blurred instantly by a gust of wind.

The tall, slender shadow stepped over from the other side of the barrier. Its shadow was too ethereal, but from Milo's perspective, he could still confirm the other's female identity from some subtle details.

It is not like a righteous knight like Joan Byrne, but has more of an assassin's temperament.

This can be seen from the menacing short blade exuding an aura of death that is covered under its cloak. It is the only object on its body that clearly shows its outline, because it is not a projection, but the weapon's true form that has descended into the conscious world.

It's easy to imagine how much the temple feared Milo. The person who came was a projection, but the weapon he held was his true form.

The short blade, which could leave a scarlet afterimage in the air with the slightest movement, had a terrifying arc and a grotesque hook structure like bone spurs. You couldn't even define it as a dagger or a hook.

The only certainty is that the aura of death emanating from it was formed from the accumulation of countless living beings, all of whom were of superior status... This time, those who crossed over were far beyond what a naive child like Joan Byrne could compare to.

That black knife alone is enough to explain the problem.

……

However, the barrier blocked part of the opponent's vision. Even though the projection had arrived, as long as Milo, who had entered the shadow state, did not get too close, it still could not detect Milo's exact location.

Perhaps its keen spiritual intuition tells it that danger lurks around it, but that's about it.

Moreover, this entire conscious world is inherently fraught with danger for it.

...

Are you sure that thing really can't see us?

Dirasha, shrouded in shadow by Milo, lowered his voice and whispered to Milo.

“There’s no need to whisper, it can’t hear you,” Milo waved his hand.

"Alright, what I wanted to ask is, can that silver shaded dog you brought really guarantee the safety of the Eye Saintess?"

Dirashau was clearly overwhelmed by the oppressive feeling of the creature crossing over from the other side of the barrier.

In comparison, Wendigo and Marshall, who were lying at Daisy's feet, were practically negligible.

Even the instant the projection wielding the black knife appeared, the giant worm that had devoured the corpse of the golden tree in the worship pit hid in the deepest part of the earth, silent as a cicada in winter.

...

"Silver shaded?" Milo shook his head: "You need to brush up on your basic biology."

Unlike Milo, Diracho was not entirely at ease. He pointed to the temple messenger in the distance and said:

"What I mean is, that guy came with a knife; he clearly had ill intentions..."

However, before Dillah could finish speaking, the Black Blade projection reached back to the other side of the barrier, pulling a rope made of vines, and drawing out a vehicle being dragged by two giant elk.

“You can’t just say they have bad intentions,” Milo said, shrugging.

……

On the altar in the distance.

The elk's forehooves pounded the air, producing a heavy breathing sound.

Daisy and the shadowy figure wielding the black knife seemed to have engaged in a brief exchange, using some undetectable method that even Milo couldn't eavesdrop on.

However, it's not hard to deduce that Daisy has already obtained the other party's consent to enter the Dreamland Temple in her true form, and the reindeer-drawn carriage that the other party brought over was probably for this purpose. And she is currently persuading the other party to let her bring her two "harmless" "little pets" along as well.
