Chapter 245: Demigod

"Something that could destroy us all?!" Dunn and Leonard exchanged a glance, their expressions grave.

"You know, I am still a Beyonder of the 'Dream' Pathway; I can sense something terrifying about that woman!" Klein explained quickly.

Leonard seemed to listen intently for a moment, his expression changing again, and he nodded gently, "I agree with Klein's idea! We need to be on guard!"

Dunn looked at his two colleagues and chose to believe them, "I will immediately request reinforcements from the Cathedral. Klein, you go evacuate the non-combatants. Leonard, you go stabilize Trissy!"

"Just in case, we need to be prepared for battle!"

"Yes!"

Klein and Leonard both had serious expressions as they began to evacuate personnel and prepare for battle.

After Klein had people evacuate, just as he was about to close the door of Blackthorn Security Company, he saw a woman who was impossibly beautiful.

Well, it was a bewitching kind of beauty; her standing there was already a provocation.

"Why close the door?" The woman arrived at the entrance of Blackthorn Security Company and chuckled as she looked at Klein, her voice drilling into Klein's brain, nearly causing his sanity to collapse.

His spirituality warned him again, as irritating as an alarm clock, even bordering on losing control!

"What is going on?!"

Klein's heart trembled, and he forced a smile, "We have business today, we're closed."

He sped up his movements, intending to shut the door.

"Oh? Are you a true believer of the Dream?" The woman arrived in front of Klein, looked him over, and revealed a bewitching smile.

Klein easily broke free from the charm, which interested her, and then she confirmed something.

"If it were ordinary times, I might have had a poignant romance with you, but not now. What a pity."

Klein broke into a cold sweat upon hearing this and subconsciously used his ability to distance himself from this terrifying woman.

"Illusion?"

But clearly, the newcomer's understanding of the "Dream" Pathway exceeded Klein's imagination; she turned her head to look at Klein's true form as he slipped away.

"Illusion" had absolutely no effect!

Klein had already touched the "Sun Charm" in his pocket; he had crafted this during a certain mission by relying on a "mutated Sun Holy Emblem."

"Still have tricks up your sleeve?" The woman looked at Klein with curiosity.

Klein forcibly controlled his expression; the enemy before him was the most terrifying one he had ever encountered, possibly even a high-Sequence Beyonder!

"Why would such a Beyonder come here?!" Klein lamented inwardly.

"Klein seems to have encountered trouble!" After sending the telegram, Dunn discovered that Klein had not come to the Chanis Gate to retrieve the Sealed Artifacts needed for battle.

"I..." Dunn's mind suddenly felt dazed, and a certain thought took root in his brain, "I must take out the strongest Sealed Artifact to save my colleagues!"

Dunn quickly used his Captain's authority to take out the ashes of Holy Selena from behind the Chanis Gate.

This was the relic of a Saint, possessing incredible power.

Just at this moment, Leonard rushed over and also obtained a Sealed Artifact from behind the Chanis Gate.

And after the two of them emerged from the Chanis Gate, the situation outside had become extremely bizarre.

Trissy had already come out of the conference room, slumped against the wall, and was watching the woman who had walked in through the front door.

"Despair Witch?!" Trissy's voice was filled with a heart-deadening despair.

"I only want to take Trissy away; she has nothing to do with you. Afterward, I will take Trissy far away from Tingen."

Dunn arrived at the scene of the standoff holding the ashes of Holy Selena; the Despair Witch looked at the ashes in Dunn's hands with slight apprehension.

"No! Save me! I cannot go with her!" Trissy wanted to get closer to Klein and Dunn and the others.

"Come here, this is your Fate." A dim light flashed in the Despair Witch's eyes. At this moment, the entire space seemed to be covered in a web-like mesh of threads, shrouding everyone within it.

She was like a spider, manipulating everything here.

And Trissy was more like prey that had fallen into a trap, unable to move; her body was being controlled as she walked toward the Despair Witch.

"What should we do?" This was definitely not an enemy they could resist.

Klein and Leonard both looked at Captain Dunn.

Only he was barely qualified to speak with this high-Sequence Beyonder.

"..." Dunn's expression was as frozen as a statue. After a few breaths, he made a difficult choice.

"Very well."

This sudden enemy made Dunn Smith think of the Saints within the Church; they were impossible to resist.

And Trissy was not a good person; Dunn could not gamble his own life and the lives of his colleagues on her.

"No!" But Trissy would not agree!

Her voice turned into a shriek; a certain intense emotion of despair and pain triggered the Sapphire Ring, causing it to flash with a faint light.

This granted Trissy powerful strength, but she also knew clearly that it was impossible to escape the pursuit of a Demigod, so she attacked Dunn Smith!

Hum!

Dunn Smith's deep eyes were filled with bloodshot veins, and blood flowed from his nose.

Klein and Leonard were in the same situation, having suffered great damage from that shriek.

And almost subconsciously, Dunn Smith opened the ash box in his hand.

Inside the box was deep darkness, and within the darkness were tiny specks of brilliant sand.

This scene was like bright stars in the pitch-black night sky, dreamy and beautiful.

The next instant, the entire hall was shrouded in a certain deep darkness; countless starlight emerged within the darkness, and countless fine threads in the air headed toward Trissy and the Despair Witch.

"Stop." The Despair Witch's voice carried a certain divine majesty.

The spider silk filling the void began to tighten, resisting the domain created by the ashes of Holy Selena, while simultaneously restricting those dark threads.

This was a confrontation of Demigod power; the Despair Witch was at ease, but Dunn Smith was bleeding from his mouth and nose, enduring terrifying pressure.

"Light!" Ancient Hermes rang out, and the Despair Witch suddenly looked up.

It was as if a Sun had risen in Klein's hand, and the bright, pure sunlight burst forth, carrying the domineering power to purify all evil.

Klein was not familiar with such power and could only pour it all out toward that Despair Witch.

They did not want to confront this Demigod, but the accident caused by Trissy made the ashes of Holy Selena react instinctively.

And the Despair Witch could not just watch as those threads wrapped around herself and Trissy; she was not afraid, but Trissy must absolutely not come to harm.

She made her move, and this led to a clash of Demigod powers.

This kind of clash would very likely cause Dunn Smith, who was holding the ashes, to die!

No matter what, Klein had to act to save his Captain.
