Chapter 277: The True Target

~7 min read 1,261 words

After a great battle, they had taken down the enemy, yet they had let the original target escape?

Everyone fell into silence.

"Who are you!?" An angry shout came from the battlefield over at the Moon Hotel.

"Aurora Order!" Beierte had already put away the golden cross in his hand and fished a badge out of his pocket; it was impossible for them to fight the Red Glove of the Church.

"Aurora Order?!" The leader of the Red Glove faltered in their steps.

The rest of the Red Glove members also had strange expressions; the existence of the Aurora Order was no secret, but it was very embarrassing that this Aurora Order frequently notified the Evernight Church to clean up the mess.

"Witch Trissy has already escaped, you can also withdraw this curtain of night," Beierte reminded.

The Red Glove Captain confirmed the authenticity of the badge, took a deep look at Beierte, and nodded toward someone behind them.

Seeing this, that person closed a box in their hand.

The entire box looked as if it contained a sea of stars; once closed, that curtain of night was all retracted.

Pedestrians reappeared on the street, and all the destruction caused by this battle also vanished.

This was a perfect Beyonder battlefield.

"You must come back with us!" The Red Glove Captain stared at everyone with a serious gaze.

"Very well," Beierte agreed directly.

"Are you feeling better?" Leonard supported Klein as he stood up.

It was not easy for Klein to suffer a Demigod curse, even if this Demigod curse only had about half its power.

"I'm okay..." Klein only felt dizzy; the Domain of No Darkness and Purification Light were indeed powerful and had completely cleared the curse, but the damage to his Spirituality was a bit severe.

"Let's go over," Klein looked toward Beierte's side.

"Where do you want to go?"

Klein's body stiffened abruptly; that voice was extremely eerie, as if carrying the murmurs and gibberish inherent to a Potion—it was a power that made people go mad and lose control.

Leonard was already convulsing all over, blood spilling from his ears and nose, veins bulging on his face.

As for Klein, because he possessed the purity unique to the "Dream" Pathway, he had extremely strong resistance to this kind of mad gibberish.

It was just that when he wanted to use his Beyonder abilities, his head felt like it was being pricked by needles; the injuries he had just sustained had a huge impact on his state.

"You can't escape!" That voice sounded in Klein's ear again, and his heart was twitching uncontrollably.

He could clearly feel a hand resting on his shoulder, and he even saw the shock on Beierte and Miss Sharon's faces.

They had reacted immediately, but it was already too late; whether it was the Domain of No Darkness or the Wraith's Mirror Jump, they were all off by a time difference.

Because starlight was flickering—that was the "Traveler's Door."

Trissy had killed her way back?!

Everyone was startled; the Red Glove subconsciously opened the box in their hand, and the night descended once more, shrouding all the Beyonders and pulling them into another world.

It was just that this curtain of night was not faster than "Teleportation."

Hum... Klein only felt a buzzing sound ring in his ears, and then the world began to blur, becoming abstract and incomprehensible; all the colors seemed to turn into various shades of oil ink.

This was Spirit World Teleportation!

Just at this moment, the Arrodes Mirror in Klein's hand trembled slightly, wanting to cross the Rule to directly punish the Witch who had offended its master.

Its Lightning could interrupt this teleportation process.

But how could Trissy forget this mirror that had almost changed the course of the battle?

A hand wearing a Sapphire Ring reached over gently and pressed down on the mirror.

A blue radiance flashed slightly on the Sapphire Ring, and Arrodes went quiet; it was as if a layer of frost had condensed on the mirror's surface.

This was a Seal.

At the same time, Klein was also attempting to save himself; he put his hand into his formal suit pocket and, enduring the pain, drove his Spirituality to inject it into a Copper Whistle.

Woo!

The Copper Whistle emitted a sound, as if it had been blown.

"Don't resist, okay?" A gentle voice seemed to be teasing Klein's mind.

At this moment, Klein truly closed his eyes, as if giving up all resistance, as if resigning himself to his fate.

And in Klein's mental world, there was still a symbol condensing!

A snake-shaped rune symbolizing Fate was forcibly outlined by him with his Spirituality, existing for a fleeting moment.

"That's more like it!" Trissy's voice carried a trace of a young girl's playfulness; the two of them had already entered the Spirit World, and they only needed a very short time to reach their destination.

That would be the time for Trissy to enjoy her Prey.

How truly looking forward to it...

A peach-colored flush rose on Trissy's face.

But accidents are always caught off guard.

Bang!

A Monster made of bones crashed into them without warning.

"How is this possible?" Trissy was stunned beyond words; the teleportation time was very short and sufficiently concealed, how could it have been interrupted by just happening to crash into a Monster!?

How could she be so unlucky?

Trissy looked up abruptly, suddenly gazing into the depths of the Spirit World; there seemed to be a floating castle there, black in its entirety, with towering spires, covered in vines, and extremely Gothic in style.

And standing at the top of the castle was a huge headless woman; she wore a set of complex and gorgeous clothes, and her hands held four bright-looking heads with blonde hair and red eyes.

Those four heads all looked toward this side at this moment; four heads, eight eyes, all reflecting the figures of Trissy and Klein.

Trissy's heart tightened suddenly, her whole body turning cold, as if she had seen something terrifying.

It was also at this moment that Klein opened his eyes abruptly; his body gradually shriveled, turning into a Paper Figurine, while Klein, holding the Arrodes Mirror, arrived behind that bone Monster.

The bone Monster had come for him, grabbing his body to perform Spirit World Teleportation.

"Ah!" Trissy suddenly let out a scream.

The sound erupted in the Spirit World, carrying mad gibberish, like the whispers of an evil god.

This was not an attack that Trissy could unleash, but rather the violent turmoil of Trissy's emotions at losing what she had just regained, which triggered that Sapphire Ring.

Klein's brain was struck hard once again, and he fell completely unconscious; even the Monster made of bones collapsed, as it had blocked most of the damage for Klein.

However, before the Monster made of bones completely collapsed, it violently threw Klein's body into the deeper parts of the Spirit World, using Teleportation to send him away.

As a messenger, it had been dutiful enough.

"Ah!" Trissy watched helplessly as the Prey was teleported away, her body and soul both trembling.

She wailed in pain as a power that did not belong to her, yet was exceptionally compatible with her, began to merge with her.

Although she was clearly still Sequence 6, she made all Spirit World creatures subconsciously retreat, not daring to approach.

Above the Gothic castle, that massive figure holding its own head watched Trissy's madness from afar, showing no intention to attack.
