Chapter 300: Escape
Klein does not know what to make of his current self; the eruption of Dream Phosphor has completely obliterated the influence caused by this sacrificial ritual.
But as he looks at those two sluggish Demigods outside the altar, he feels his danger has not diminished in the slightest.
It might even be more dangerous!
The gaze of a True God will not fall upon him, but these two Demigods surely wish they could pull out his tendons and peel his skin, making him wish he were dead.
"Run!" This is Klein's only thought.
He snaps his fingers lightly, frantically jumping by means of Flame Jump.
"Die!" Klein falls directly mid-jump; he clutches his heart tightly, his eyes bloodshot, his heart feeling as if it has exploded.
The moment he moved, both Demigods reacted, displaying immense killing intent.
"Die!" Despair Lady's Ice Spear strikes directly, piercing through Klein's body.
"You ruined the sacrifice; I will have you suffer in despair and pain for countless years!" The "Devil" directly grabs Klein by the throat.
The aura of the Abyss on his body begins to act upon Klein, corroding Klein's soul and body.
He is unable to even utter a single word.
However, in the next second, his body turns into a Paper Figurine, substituting for his death once.
"It's a fake!" This is Klein's new type of Paper Figurine avatar, combining the abilities of "Person in the Painting" and Mirror Knight.
This Paper Figurine is also quite special; it is not blank, but has the front and back of Klein drawn on it, and except for not being three-dimensional, it is no different from the current Klein.
Such a Paper Figurine can even use Klein's Beyonder abilities for a short time, enough to deceive most people and buy time for the main body to escape.
"I must kill him! Kill him!"
Compared to Despair Lady, the "Devil" noble has truly gone mad; the Witch Sect's failure is only temporary, but the Blood Sect's century-long plan has been ruined in an instant, and the "Devil" is nearing loss of control.
"Stop!" A voice carrying Charm rings out; Despair Witch turns her head abruptly to look at Trissy, who has stood up on the altar.
She has recovered, and the Sapphire Ring in her hand suddenly erupts with a terrifying suction force, draining the blood pool outside the altar dry.
This stains the pure blue of the Sapphire Ring with some blood color, and Trissy's beautiful, charming eyes are also covered in bloodshot veins, her long hair dancing in the wind.
"You cannot go after him!"
The Sapphire Ring in Trissy's hand flashes slightly, and a blue light appears in this Space, with threads vaguely sealing off the area where the altar is located.
"You!" Both the "Devil" and Despair Lady are shocked; the current Trissy is extremely powerful!
"You, hurry and deal with her!" The "Devil" glances at Despair Lady and charges outward himself to hunt down Klein.
"I said stop!" Trissy's long hair flies like tentacles, controlling this area, and the threads, like the sharpest blades, cut toward the "Devil".
The "Devil"'s expression changes slightly, and he actually avoids this attack, not meeting it head-on.
Despair Lady's expression is grave; although the God-descending ritual failed, it allowed Trissy and the Sapphire Ring to achieve a higher degree of fusion—this is a Zero-level Sealed Artifact!
And she had already consumed that Crystal Ball earlier to subdue Trissy as quickly as possible.
"You go kill him first! I'll handle this!" Despair Lady is a Demigod after all; she gently reaches out and grabs, and countless threads similarly merge into this area, tearing open a gap for the "Devil".
The "Devil" seizes the opportunity to find the exit among the threads and leaps out of the altar plaza to pursue the fleeing Klein.
"Are you still going to resist!?" Despair Lady gradually tightens those spider threads, pressing toward Trissy.
"The Fate you spoke of has already failed; I was saved by him and have gained a new life!" Trissy raises her hand wearing the Sapphire Ring and clenches it gently; the sapphire seems to have a life of its own, cooperating with her.
All the threads tighten suddenly, cutting through everything; the entire Space is filled with the spider threads of the two Witches, and even they themselves are trapped.
Klein continuously performs Flame Jump to get away from the altar plaza, while his Spirituality also provides guidance, following the most suitable path to get away.
Just as he sees the light and is only a few meters away, his spiritual intuition warns him frantically, and he subconsciously rolls to the side.
Boom!
The place where he had just been standing explodes; the Devil has thrown a terrifying ball of Demonic Flame at him.
"Today you must die!" The "Devil" blocks the only exit, his eyes exceptionally cold.
His body enters the state of Demon Transformation; this is the inevitable choice for the "Abyss" Pathway to exert all its power.
Klein feels the thick aura of death, but at this moment, he has no choice but to face it!
Just as his gaze falls upon the "Devil" opposite him, his brain goes boom, ringing out, and he himself nearly loses control!
It is just that he is a Beyonder of the "Dream" Pathway himself and had obtained a wisp of Dream Phosphor not long ago, so his state recovers in time, and he does not suffer fatal damage.
"It's a Mythical Creature Form!" Klein forcibly controls his gaze, not daring to let it fall onto the "Devil"'s arm area.
The demonic scales and blue Demonic Flame there are exceptionally intense, clearly revealing a portion of a Mythical Creature Form.
This is also the peculiarity of the "Abyss" Pathway; after Sequence 4, they possess the characteristic of manifesting a certain part of themselves as a Mythical Creature and maintaining it for a long time, obtaining unique and strange effects.
This greatly enhances the combat power of "Abyss" Pathway Demigods; perhaps only "Spectator" Pathway Demigods can face it.
There are things I cannot look at, which means my eyes are useless... Klein's face is as calm as water; fortunately, his spiritual intuition is perverse enough to be more reliable than his eyes in battle.
"Mirror Image!" Klein's first move is to use this ability to replicate a power from the "Devil".
"Is it Demigod-level Desire Control?" Klein is satisfied but not entirely satisfied; he wants the kind of ability that can fix a Mythical Creature Form.
He is currently a Dual-Pathway Beyonder; if he could manifest his future Mythical Creature Form, it would certainly be stronger than the "Devil"'s.
Of course, it is also possible that the current him simply does not have a so-called Mythical Creature Form, and even if he copied that ability, he would be unable to use it.
"You stole my ability?" The "Devil" is a cunning, cold, and sharp creature; he notices this at the very first moment.
Klein uses the Clown's ability to keep his expression stiff; he feels this is a probe.
"No matter what, you must die!" The "Devil" truly begins to attack Klein.
The awe Klein feels in his heart for a person at the Demigod level is amplified infinitely; even just facing a Demigod enemy is enough to cause his mind to explode!
