Chapter 247: New Mission

~6 min read 1,156 words

When Klein met the gaze of that eyeball, he did not feel danger, but that extremely eerie sensation truly made his hair stand on end.

Mr. Azik Eggers is truly too humorous... Klein's expression twisted slightly.

"However, Azik's status is far higher than I imagined! This kind of power is so eerie, yet so powerful..."

Azik Eggers met Klein's gaze, smiled, and nodded, "If you have any needs, you can write to tell me; I am going to handle some historical legacy issues now."

Then, he walked toward the Despair Witch, "I might need your help; you would be willing, right?"

His tone was extremely heavy, full of majesty, and brooked no doubt; he had not forgotten that experience of controlling an empire, he had merely subconsciously chosen to become his current self.

He was still that "Death Consul."

Subsequently, Azik Eggers pressed one hand on the Despair Witch's shoulder, pulling her into the bizarre and grotesque Spirit World.

"Is it over?" Peace had returned to the already ruined Blackthorn Security Company, and the diseases of the three people slumped on the ground were no longer worsening; their conditions had improved quite a bit.

"Yes, it is over." Klein nodded reluctantly.

"We all survived." Captain Dunn covered the urn containing Holy Selena's ashes in his arms.

Klein revealed a smile, but at a certain moment, he frowned as he looked at that pile of clothes and ashes.

It seemed as if something had been overlooked...

"Do you accept such an ending?"

Deep within the Chanis Gate, a priest wearing white divine robes, sporting light-gold whiskers, and possessing clear eyes looked at Chumen, who was strolling over leisurely, and asked softly.

Adam held a classical Feather Pen with bristling hair in his hand.

Previously, it had wanted to drag the bishop of Saint Selena Church to oppose the "Death Consul," but who would have thought it would see that figure who gave it a nightmare experience within fate.

Now, being held in the hand of the King of Angels, it truly did not dare to move.

"..." Chumen stopped his steps, looked at Adam, his expression somewhat subtle, "Next time you say such things to me, I will beat you up."

"This is the instinct of a Writer." Adam looked at Chumen carefully, confirming that he truly had such thoughts, and was slightly puzzled.

"I am a 'Visionary' too," Chumen replied.

There are many things one can do oneself that others cannot, such as being a riddle-maker.

Adam shook his head slightly, not knowing if he would regret giving the "Authority of Empty Imagination" to Chumen back then.

"The 'Fool' you are cultivating still needs to be faster, otherwise, it will be too late," Adam reminded him, then left directly with the Feather Pen.

What would be too late was naturally that "Mystery War."

Bethel, Amon, and the others were already prepared.

"Hmm... then let's be a bit faster." Chumen thought about it, and it was indeed the truth; honestly, Klein's current growth was already fast enough, but compared to the others, it was still a bit too slow.

Chumen walked out of the secret passage, passed through the lounge, and arrived at the reception hall.

Dunn, Klein, and Leonard were all still lying on the ground, unable to move.

"Time to get up." Chumen wiped away the effects of the disease and incidentally treated their various injuries.

"Bishop!" Dunn stood up from the ground immediately after recovering.

"You all did very well. The credit for killing the traitorous bishop will also be counted toward you; as for 0-08, you just need to report it to the Holy See."

"Yes!" Dunn nodded solemnly.

"As for you two." Chumen looked at Klein and Leonard, thought for a moment, "I have a mission here that might require you to execute."

"What mission?" Klein was feeling his own body; all injuries and diseases had disappeared.

"Finish cleaning up this place first," Chumen said, pointing to the ruins.

Ravaged by the power of a Demigod and that high-level charm, the entire Blackthorn Security Company had become a ruin; it would take some time just to rebuild.

"Alright..." Klein was helpless; he had some premonition that after knowing he had a connection with high-Sequence powerhouses like Azik Eggers, his status within the Church might become very subtle.

"What is a 'Death Consul'? It seems like a very high status, just a tiny bit lower than my 'Fool'..."

However, because the matter was too serious, the Holy See still dispatched a heavyweight figure over.

"Sword of the Goddess" Crestet Sesima.

This "Sword of the Goddess" Excellency could not help but exclaim in admiration after obtaining the Characteristic that had precipitated from Ince Zangwill.

"I did not expect Ince Zangwill to actually come to Tingen, and even have designs on the ashes of Holy Selena."

He clearly knew the significance represented by 0-08, so from the plan, he could not see a reason for Ince's failure.

But who knew that a Dream Angel would be working as a small bishop here?!

Upon learning this news, Crestet was completely stunned; he had once paid respects to Lady Arianna, but this Angel was absolutely unique.

"I understand, I will report it to the Holy See." Crestet retreated respectfully and saw Klein and Leonard outside the Prayer Room.

"From today on, you two are removed from the Nighthawks team," Crestet announced this news to the two.

"What?" Both of them were dumbfounded.

"Afterward, you will go underground and follow the command of Bishop Chumen." Crestet pointed to the Prayer Room, letting the two of them enter.

"..." Klein and Leonard both remembered the mission Bishop Chumen had mentioned earlier, looked at each other, and walked into the Prayer Room.

"You two haven't realized yet what kind of opportunity this is," Crestet said, feeling a bit envious.

"Please sit!" Chumen pointed to the two seats opposite him.

"How much do you know about the Witch Sect?" Chumen asked directly.

Klein and Leonard had some realization; Klein thought for a moment and said, "The world's largest evil sect, mastering the 'Assassin' Pathway?"

"Subordinate to the Gnosis Society, most skilled at conducting large-scale sacrifices around the world and inciting disasters," Leonard added.

"Take a look at this information." Chumen handed two documents to the two.

"Tris?" Klein remembered this name.

"It is that Trissy," Chumen reminded him.

"Ah?" Klein and Leonard were both stunned.

"The Sequence 7 of the 'Assassin' Pathway is called 'Witch'."

Klein blinked; this extremely obvious directionality...

"Drinking the Potion causes a sex change?"

It was a bit unbelievable, but sufficiently Mysteries, sufficiently occult.

"That's right."

"The mission I am going to assign to you is related to this Witch Sect and Trissy."

"You are being removed from the Nighthawks so that you can secretly investigate the Witch Sect, find Trissy, and figure out their so-called plan."

"Also, you are to leave Tingen and head to Backlund."
