Chapter 238: Initial Battle

Klein has been a Dual-Pathway Beyonder for some time now, and he has gained a certain level of insight into how to tap into his own power.

Nowadays, this method of pouring all his Spirituality into danger intuition is enough to elevate the "Diviner's" signature skill to a whole new level.

This approach can even help Klein skip the "divination" process and obtain the answer directly.

Therefore, when the fireball came rushing toward his face, Klein had already lunged toward the safest corner, preparing to fire a few shots from the outermost perimeter.

"Roar!"

A furious roar erupted from inside the factory; it didn't even sound human!

Klein saw several illusory but powerful-looking spirits circling around Lady Daly; these spirits were no weaker than Captain Dunn!

Klein felt that this wave was already under control.

He saw Lady Daly and the others break into the factory, but the next moment, it was as if some giant creature was going mad inside; Klein soon saw Lady Daly and Captain Dunn retreating rapidly, and the Captain even shouted loudly, "The target has lost control!"

Klein didn't even have time to comprehend the meaning of those words before a certain terrifying sense of crisis made his very soul tremble.

"Antigonus... Hornacis..."

Terrifying whispers began to echo in Klein's mind, as if they were about to drag him completely into the endless Abyss.

Why was it like this? Why would he hear crazy whispers when the target lost control?

Klein's spiritual intuition pulsed wildly, and he subconsciously chose the most appropriate way to respond.

"Oh, Supreme Dream..."

He was using the Spirituality of a "Wish Granter" to communicate with the power of the "Supreme Dream."

Unlike other pathways, after becoming a "Wish Granter," one has already become a Divine Favored in a certain sense because of the "Dream."

After all, fundamentally speaking, their power comes directly from the "Supreme Dream" itself.

Of course, the most important thing is the characteristic of the "Supreme Dream's" power—purity; this characteristic has the power to suppress madness.

While Klein was praying, brilliant specks of light emerged on his body; they danced around Klein like Elves, isolating the whispers in Klein's mind.

Klein suddenly developed a sense of other directions and subconsciously rolled on the ground, dodging a bullet attack from behind.

Behind him was a Clown wearing a tailcoat, who felt extremely dangerous to Klein!

"Huh? You actually dodged it?" the tailcoat Clown was surprised, but he had no time to tangle with a "Diviner" right now; he had to retrieve the Antigonus Notebook!

"Bang!" A sound came from the tailcoat Clown's mouth; Klein's scalp went numb instantly, and he only managed to dodge it after rolling a few times on the ground.

At the same time, a wisp of flame ignited where the tailcoat Clown had been, and his figure vanished instantly.

"Captain, there is another enemy!" Klein could only shout to warn his teammates.

"Received!" Captain Dunn's tone was steady, acting as a calming influence.

"We only need to hold on for one round, and that Monster will collapse." The spirits surrounding Lady Daly had all entered the factory, and the commotion inside was becoming increasingly terrifying.

"Roar!"

With a boom, the factory gate exploded, and a humanoid creature over two meters tall charged out.

White bone spurs protruded from beneath its skin; it was greyish-white overall, with viscous, rotting liquid flowing all over its body.

Its appearance challenged Klein's worldview, and he understood even more what madness and loss of control meant.

However, there were various black chains on its body that bound it; otherwise, it would have already rushed over to start a massacre.

"Die!" Lady Daly's tone became cold and eerie, like the words of the dead echoing from hell.

Those black chains bloomed with black death energy, dragging the Monster into the abyss of death.

At the same time, the power of poetry and dreams was also taking effect, cooperating with Lady Daly to kill this Monster.

Bang!

The tailcoat Clown who had vanished into the flames broke into the battlefield again from the outside, once again using that strange air-bullet to knock an item placed outside into the battlefield.

The iron-black box opened with a click, and a palm-sized Puppet poked its head out of the box, seeing the two-meter-tall Monster.

Roar!

The Monster, which was already about to fall into a state of death, suddenly raised its head; its dim gaze gained a strange vitality, as if there were a power trying to fuse the Puppet and the Monster together to become something even more terrifying.

Captain Dunn, Leonard, and the others turned pale, all injured by the Monster's roar, and the whispers were also affecting them.

Lady Daly's expression was grim, sweat already seeping from her forehead, and death energy was spreading in her eyes.

But she still waved her hand, and another natural spirit from the Spirit World appeared, crashing into the box where the Puppet was, separating it from the Monster.

The box containing the Puppet was knocked flying, tumbling in the air.

"What should I do?" Klein's Spirituality had already given him the answer.

Klein even closed his eyes, firing his gun following the guidance of his Spirituality.

Bang!

The bullet flew out and hit the box tumbling in the air, forcibly changing its trajectory, and even the Puppet that was about to be thrown out left the box completely.

Bang!

Another bullet shot out, hitting the body of the Puppet in mid-air, carrying it toward a certain direction.

"What?!" The tailcoat Clown's hair stood on end; the Puppet he had thrown toward the Monster was flying right toward him!

"Get away!" The tailcoat Clown was about to raise his hand to snap his fingers and ignite flames to retreat from here.

But the Puppet, driven by the bullet, was moving too fast; it had already arrived within five meters of him before he could snap his fingers.

The tailcoat Clown's head buzzed, and his thoughts became sluggish.

He is a Diviner... not a Weapon Master... how could he be so accurate...

I am within... five meters...

The tailcoat Clown's joints felt as if they had rusted; the snapping motion that would normally take less than a second had slowed down.

"Go to hell!"

Klein's bullets arrived, piercing the tailcoat Clown's body, and then he emptied the magazine.

It was also at this moment that the Monster, under the power of several Beyonders, finally could not hold on any longer and exploded with a bang!

Eyeballs, skull fragments, arms, half a heart... these things splattered outward with the explosion, causing immense damage.

Struck by the shockwave, Klein also fell to the ground; after scrambling up, he quickly reloaded his bullets, wanting to fire a few more shots.

"He is already dead," Ms. Daly said softly; she had not suffered any harm in the explosion, and even the Captain had been well protected by her.

"Your marksmanship is this accurate?" Ms. Daly was even astonished.

"... That was the guidance of the Dream." Klein saw the tuxedo-clad Clown lying dead on the ground and let out a sigh of relief.

"Come quickly and help us clean up the battlefield!" Captain Dunn had already found the Antigonus Notebook from that pile of human remains.

"Alright!"
