World Occult Usage Guide

When Kevin discovered his true location, Zai clicked his tongue.

The mosquito coils billowed, and he transformed into a wisp of smoke. His long, mournful howl echoed from the forest, chilling and heart-wrenching.

The melody was like the shrill cry of a witch who had suddenly repented; it ground and tore at Kevin's internal organs, and wherever the sound went, there was no peace, day or night.

"Attack me like that!" Kevin exclaimed excitedly, chanting the incantation, "Ate Gebir Leilam Adonai! (Lord, you are forever mighty!)"

Lin An immediately recognized the source of this magic, which was also called the "Agra Amulet," a name used to summon guardian angels to ward off fever, misfortune, and evil.

Its origin is difficult to verify. Legend has it that it is an ancient Hebrew cryptic phrase, widely believed to be a Kabbalah abbreviation of noariqōn, which was later Romanized and Latinized into a well-known incantation.

The Lemegeton in Solomon's Little Key mentions Agra, referring to it as the "great and powerful" name of God, representing the concepts of holiness and protection, and it frequently appears in the making of ritual magic tools.

At the same time, the system displayed the panel on Kevin's hand.

[Name]: Agra Angel Amulet
[Rating]: Mythical B-level

Radiation level: 10.3%
[Pollution Level]: 0%
[Medium]: The Prophet

Based on experience, the mysterious items created by seekers of knowledge are also mediums for seekers of knowledge, not prophets.

Lin An thought for a moment and quickly understood.

It seems that the president of the Red Poppy Merchant Guild, or at least one other legendary prophet within the guild, is involved.

Secondly, at the bottom of the [Agra Angel Amulet] panel, there is a blurry section where you can vaguely see two characters and a string of data.

what is this?
Is this the source of the "Lady with the Lamp" aura I just sensed?
Is it because my understanding is insufficient that it hasn't manifested yet?

More than two weeks after re-landing on the planet, Lin Anke's "Lady with the Lamp" has gained 0.8% of its energy. The rate of improvement is not slow, but it is still inferior to the accumulation and research of the family over thousands of years.

Since Brother Chicken's mysterious item has the aura of the "Lady with the Lamp," it's an opportunity to observe the aristocratic families.

As thoughts raced through his mind, Lin An kept a close eye on Kevin.

As the incantation was recited, two circular halos appeared, and three triangles overlapped to form a pentagram and a hexagon, surrounded by Greek letters, Alpha and Omega, with the secret word AGLA shining brightly in the center.

Alpha and Omega are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, which is related to the reference to the Nazarenes in the Book of Revelation: "I am Alpha and Omega, I am the First and the Last, I am the Beginning and the End."

A variety of voices rang out, the singing exceptionally sweet, as if it existed only in a deep valley where roses bloomed and the air was filled with fragrance.

A melancholic song, like the hazy moonlight, rose in intensity. A pale white angel appeared, shield in hand, its twelve pairs of wings flapping with a hazy radiance that illuminated everything around it.

The excessively bright light was unbearably irritating, and Lin An couldn't help but hold his breath, while Zai urged the flames to rush towards the melody, scorching the soul of Agra's guardian angel.

The atmosphere grew increasingly somber, while the singing grew more joyful, accompanied by the painful groans of dying animals, the melancholy of souls bidding farewell to the earth, and the desperate cries of dying birds deep in the forest.

They sound like cold mockery, recounting the past suffering of the Bantu people in a condescending tone.

"Ah! You bastard, I'm going to kill you!"

With a roar, Zai engulfed the mirage in flames. The fire scorched the mirage, the rainbow vanished, and the figures were melted by the intense heat in their terrified sleep.

Sweat soaked Lin An's back, and he felt an unusual panic. He almost turned on the Philosopher's Stone and joined the chaotic battle.

Long-winded and full of nonsense!
That sweet singing voice is utterly vulgar!
End everything, kill everything, fight against everything!
In contrast to the two who were out of control of their emotions, the guardian angel Agra raised his shield to block out all sorts of illusions.

Amidst the horrified screams and curses, it stood firm like a tranquil island, its wings protecting Kevin, its eyes reflecting Zai's image like mirrors.

The intricate and complex scriptures hummed on the angel's lips, gradually making the ethereal atmosphere that Lin An was familiar with clearer.

Dreams and reality intertwine, reeds sway, a small boat crosses the sea, and one bright light after another appears. Lin An finds the lighthouse amidst the wild spinning wheel.

The lake, frozen year-round, remains undisturbed, reflecting the faces of the past, present, and future.

My emotions are so unusual; it seems to be the influence of the "prophet".

A protective charm that incites anger...

After clearing his mind, Lin An closed his eyes, his vision synchronized with the "One Eye of God," suddenly rising to take in the entire situation.

Zai's illusions are bizarre and fantastical, filled with the neighing of horses, the snorting of bulls, the burning souls turning to ashes, the sun lashing its fury at the moon, and the ravaged beasts writhing and struggling in agony.

The roads hunched over, like the last struggle of a dying serpent, while the thunderous sound of drums echoed in all directions.

The elephants collided with the trees, and the trees collided with the houses.

However, behind the anger in each picture lies a deep-seated fear.

Fear mingled with the melodious songs surrounding the angel, nourishing the patterns and textures of Agra, whose eyes, from dazed to focused, locked onto Zai, a being in the underworld, both real and illusory.

The shield was raised, its sharp point gleaming.

"Zai, stop!"

Lin An finally understood the effects and triggering method of the "Agra Angelic Guardian Charm".

Its main ability is protection. When Kevin was attacked by Zai last time, he was caught off guard and only activated this one effect.

But when Kevin took control of it, the "prophet" provoked his adversaries through psychological suggestion, causing Zay's emotions and attacks to become increasingly out of control and relentless.

When negative emotions reach their peak, the guardian angel will unleash a thunderous strike to punish the sinner who dares to push their luck.

There is no need to make enemies, for God will punish those who are disrespectful after death.

Mythical artifacts are powerful in themselves, let alone this one which contains a trace of the power of the "Lady with the Lamp".

For Lin An, it was a refreshing spring, but for others—especially Zai, who had never been exposed to the medium before—it was undoubtedly the core of chaos, confusion, and madness.

Infusing "Lady with the Lantern" can enhance mysterious items...

When dealing with me, having "Lady with the Lamp" is actually less effective than not having it.

For example, this mythical prophetic artifact, whose wrath should have become increasingly irresistible with the help of the "Lady with the Lamp," actually made me more clear-headed and quick-witted with just a hint of its aura.

Although Lin An wanted to observe Kevin further mastering the [Agra Amulet], an ominous premonition arose in his mind, and he turned his attention to the bloodthirsty Zai.

Faced with the guardian angel that had reached its breaking point, he did not retreat but instead rushed toward it without realizing it, like a stubborn nobleman during the French Revolution who resolutely walked toward the gallows.

"Stop attacking! Otherwise you'll be killed as a 'heretic'!" Lin An warned, but Zai ignored him, raising his cane as if he wanted to burn Kevin to ashes. "Alright, now's the time!"

Kevin's eyes shone brightly, and his movements were synchronized with those of his guardian angel.

His long fingers touched his Adam's apple, and a song of sorrow, mercy, and judgment echoed in the fiery illusion, reflecting the phantoms of Flemish people in snow-white clothes, singing in unison.

A ray of light shone through the white clouds, illuminating Zai's undisguised pain and inferiority complex.

How pathetic and deceitful!
This person is crying, jealous, and in pain!

That dull, damned person!

This dying world, this chaotic and terrifying world!
This age of lies, this age of arrogance and envy!
There is no redemption or justice—this wretched man is destroying life!
Agra's magical rune culture formed a wondrous letter, causing Lin An's eyes to widen in astonishment.

He had never seen this form of language before, yet it felt strangely familiar, as if he had seen it before.

It is the prayer chanted by the priests holding candles in their recurring nightmares!
The language of "Commerx"!

Even with just a few strokes, the words, like a sharp thorn, pierced through the energy towards Zai, tearing through illusion, crossing the Kalenga line, ignoring the underworld and death, which the latter was powerless to resist, unable to even see it, and could only be slaughtered at will.

"The Lady with the Lamp"...is it the language of "Commerx"?

It's more like the purest concept.

The energy of the "Lady with the Lamp" contained in Lin An's and Agra's angel amulets is almost the same. In addition, he is the only source S-level Lady with the Lamp in the world. With his talent and sixth sense, he vaguely obtained a trace of inspiration.

This word means...

Deportation?
No, to be precise... it's on the rise?

In short, it is related to "ascension," and once hit, it is estimated that the soul will leave the body and there will be no cure.

It seems that the language of "Commerz" is the ultimate spiritual concept, and once it arises and is fulfilled, it is an irreversible and pure result.

Speaking of which, Adria mentioned that the original inhabitants of Titan couldn't speak and communicated entirely through their third eye on their heads, until Ansius arrived and gave them language and writing.

singing……

Believers joined the chorus...

Letter names, deities, beliefs...

With all this information flowing into his mind, Lin An gained a deeper understanding of how to control the "Lady with the Lantern" medium.

Having obtained satisfactory intelligence, he saw that Zai had fallen into the prophet's mental trap and was about to actively welcome the arrival of the "Comers" concept, and finally made his move.

He first locked onto Zai with the "One Eye of God," causing the latter's movements and thoughts to freeze, and then summoned the "Calling of Mars" from the first volume of "The Wise One".

Candles gathered, gestures formed a ritual, and a missile shot from behind Zai, piercing his chest.

"Uh!"

Zai let out a short groan as his heart ruptured, blood gushed out, and his muscles and bones collapsed inward. Immediately, an egg was born, and the baby inside breathed weakly.

As his soul journeyed back and forth from the underworld, Zai's eyes suddenly cleared. Seeing the guardian angel's shield descending upon him, he immediately took a step back.

Memories flooded back, and he immediately understood Lin An's intention. Without hesitation, he turned and left, the chaotic sounds abruptly ceasing, leaving only a single, sweet singing voice.

The blazing flames disappeared into the void, never to return.

The illusion vanished, the noise ceased, and Kevin felt the warmth of the campfire again. A cold wind blew across the roof of the Tigerfish tribe chief's house, and the dim, yellow moon was cold and desolate.

Unaware of the battle between the two, Susume took advantage of Kevin's momentary daze and quickly broke free from his embrace.

She had intended to run to the chief for protection, but the betrayal she had just experienced flashed through her mind. Susomi gritted her teeth, suddenly turned around, and plunged into a stream near the tribe.

"thump!"

“Susumi!” The chief stood up.

"Get her out of here!" Kevin snapped out of his daze, shouting his impatience. "It was so close! What a cunning and despicable bastard!"

The chief immediately fell silent, watching the thin young man bite his thumb, his other hand fingers overlapping, the middle finger covering a ring made of gold foil and emerald on his index finger, invisible energy radiating outwards.

Sure enough, he had a mysterious item that could "teleport".

If Kevin were to suddenly activate his powers during the battle, Lin An would likely be too overwhelmed to stop his escape.

But now that Lin An has locked onto this unique ring, he can strike first and completely block Kevin's escape route.

Kevin's eyes clashed with conflict and anger until intense rebellious emotions prevailed.

"Forget it, we can't rely on Mother for everything. Death never comes without a price, and he's at his weakest right now..."

Kevin, being an impulsive young man, licked his lips, lowered his hands, and the teleportation ring's radiance dimmed, looking no different from the other mysterious items belonging to "Black Hen".

He directed the black hen to chase after Zai in the direction he had fled, and soon a smile appeared on his face, clearly indicating that he had found a clue.

“As a member of the Van Hofwegen family, I don’t believe I can’t complete this mission.”

Having said that, Kevin left the hesitant Tigerfish Chieftain behind and strode confidently into the rainforest.

The crackling of burning firewood and the clamor of the tribesmen's conversations faded into the distance. The tree canopy blocked out the moonlight, and the sparse sounds of monkeys, birds, and herbivores moving about could be heard in the darkness and dampness.

Kevin disliked the natural environment; he was used to the various electric lights that were on 24 hours a day, the dry and comfortable heating, and the gentle flow of classical piano music.

The Bantu rainforest is awful; I couldn't last a day. He thought to himself, "My mother was right. I shouldn't have tried to blend in with the people here. After killing Edward Roberts, I'll leave far away and never come back."

As he pondered, a flock of bats flew by with a whooshing sound very close to him.

Kevin was startled and instinctively gripped the "teleportation" ring.

He breathed a sigh of relief after the bat left, and was about to catch up with Zai when he suddenly saw a human-shaped black shadow hanging upside down between the branches of a tree not far away, looking just like a vampire.

"Who?!"

“I am… Batman!” Lin An chuckled deeply and swooped down towards him. (End of Chapter)
