Chapter 262: Mirror Image

~6 min read 1,199 words

"Die!" The power of Filthy Words landed on the "Demon." This was something the demon dog had never experienced before, so caught off guard, its heart seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible hand, and it entered a wounded state.

"Roar!" The demon let out an angry roar, the magma in its eyes becoming even more intense; it exerted its own resistance to filthy spells and forcibly withstood it.

It relied on its demon intuition to move away from Klein, but with a snap of fingers, Klein instantly arrived behind it via Flame Jump.

Klein had made sufficient preparations to deal with the "Demon," so he naturally focused his attention on the flames the demon itself carried.

Flame-type spells were a very important ability of the "Demon," a piece of intelligence obtained from Mr. A.

And one of the "Magician's" abilities was also related to flames; that was quite a coincidence.

The only thing worth worrying about was that this kind of flame carried a certain sense of being Fallen, eroding Klein's body.

But judging by the physical fitness brought by "Mirror Knight," he should be able to hold on for a while.

"Slow!" The air seemed to solidify, and Klein, who was following the "Demon" like a ghost, used Filthy Words again.

This time, the air within a space of about seven or eight meters solidified, and the "Demon" was trapped deep within its own spell.

"Slow!" Klein's mind suddenly slowed; the "Demon" had also used Filthy Words, dragging him into the same quagmire.

The result of this was that in this space of eight meters in radius, everything became even slower and weirder; "Slow" had been strengthened.

At this moment, the scene became extremely strange: a three-meter-tall demon and a gentleman in a tailcoat were performing a bizarre piece of performance art in an empty alley.

Their movements were all very slow, and their joints were like machines lacking lubricating oil.

Flames symbolizing being Fallen and Filth were burning, the smell of sulfur gradually spreading; the scene was somewhat comical and sinister.

This situation lasted for about two seconds before the shadows outside the alley suddenly began to squirm.

Belte Moore jumped out from the shadows.

The "Secret Prayer" Sequence 7 "Hermit" possessed the power to merge into shadows; he had been following Klein closely in this way, guarding against the "Demon's" attack.

It was just that Klein was stronger than he had expected, having already forcibly controlled the "Demon," just waiting for him to come and reap the rewards.

He reached out one hand, and on his wrist was a string of shiny bracelets with seven smooth gemstones, two of which were gray-white, and the other five were of various different colors.

"Holy Light!" A golden gemstone on Belte's wrist lit up, and a magnificent, pure, and scorching pillar of light descended from the sky, enveloping the "Demon" that was still in the "Slow" state.

Roar!

The demon screamed miserably; the addition of Holy Light broke the "Slow" state, but the fate of the demon enveloped in the Holy Light could be imagined.

All things Fallen and Filth would be purified; these things could not exist under the Sun.

"Don't! Leave its spirit!" Klein shouted urgently.

He was truly afraid that Belte would purify the entire "Demon," including its soul, in which case the results of this operation would shrink by at least more than half.

From the very beginning, what they had been eyeing was not just this Sequence 6 "Demon."

"Rest assured, I have a sense of proportion!" Belte withdrew his hand, the Holy Light having just killed the demon while leaving its soul behind.

Klein couldn't care about the strange smell of the demon's scorched flesh and began to perform spirit mediumship directly.

Now his Spirituality had improved to the point where he didn't need a ritual to do spirit mediumship like a "Spirit Medium."

"The origin of the demon..."

Hum!

Klein closed his eyes, and a scene suddenly surged into his mind.

The background was the never-dissipating thick fog of Backlund, and next to it was a subway station, along with factory chimneys; looking at the condition of the road...

The next moment, another scene was surging.

It was the vision of the demon dog; the "Apostle of Desire" killed by Klein had brought the dog into a house.

In the dark environment, there were several terrifying figures squirming.

"East District, Cross Street, No. 36!"

Klein suddenly widened his eyes, "That might be a gathering place for the Demon Family or the Blood Sect!"

Belte's expression sank, "Let's rush over there now!"

"I'm going to find my companions!" Klein only said this before hurrying to find Leonard and the others.

Before the hunt, he knew there was a high probability of finding information about this Demon Family, so they wouldn't be too far from here.

"Good!" Belte also realized the seriousness of the matter and prepared to summon Mr. A.

The matter had succeeded, and someone of sufficient weight was needed to come out and hold the scene.

"Klein! Over here!"

Klein soon found Leonard and Maric; both were ready at all times, and the carriage was already prepared.

"Let's go, I've obtained the exact address." Klein's words surprised both Leonard and Maric.

"So smooth?" Not only Maric, but Miss Sharon also walked out from the glass on the side. The two of them could also be considered temporarily on the "staff" of the agency.

"Better be quick, the 'Demon' has 'Malice Perception'." Klein reminded, and the others didn't delay any longer, driving the carriage at top speed toward the target location.

Belte Moore delayed for a while, waiting for the "Demon" Characteristic to precipitate, but it was also about this time that Mr. A walked out from the void.

Hmm... they were the Aurora Order, also considered half-official Beyonders; after receiving the notification, Mr. A immediately applied for a suitable Sealed Artifact and traveled directly here.

"Go!"

Mr. A reached out and placed his hand on Belte, taking him to travel together to the East District.

And the carriage of Klein's group had just driven into the corner of Cross Street.

"Let's begin." After seeing the people on the carriage clearly, Mr. A's expression became slightly more serious, and he nodded lightly toward Klein and the others.

Obviously, he also regarded Klein and the others as an existence equal to the Aurora Order, which meant they had the qualifications for cooperation.

"Surround this place." Mr. A instructed Belte.

"Yes!"

Klein, Leonard, and the others exchanged glances and decided to wait on the perimeter.

And Mr. A was the first to break into that house.

"Is he really that formidable?" Leonard blinked.

"He is a fully equipped Shepherd," Beierte explained to Klein, "On his own, he is roughly equivalent to an entire squad of Sequence 5 Beyonders."

"Basically, anyone who isn't a Demigod cannot defeat him."

Klein's eyes twitched; this was ridiculously strong!

However, this was also a person in charge of a Church in Backlund; if they were not a Demigod, it was likely due to restrictions from other Churches.

The others also gasped, as if they were merely spectators.
