Chapter 301: Facing a Demigod

~7 min read 1,340 words

"Desire Control!" Klein had also long been on guard against the devil's influence on the mind and desires. Upon sensing something amiss, he immediately used Desire Control to steady himself, then amplified the opponent's apprehension!

What the "Devil" feared was not him, but the "Dream".

The "Devil" watched with his own eyes as Klein activated the Dream Statue, then hugged the statue and walked to the very center of the altar, deeply suspecting that Klein was an attendant of the "Supreme Dream," harboring a deeply hidden apprehension and fear for the supreme existence behind him.

This apprehension and fear were infinitely amplified, then swelled, and exploded!

"The thing you stole was actually 'Desire Control'!" The "Devil's" eyes instantly cleared, showing no signs of being affected.

Klein's expression changed; he had not expected the "Devil" to escape "Desire Control" so easily.

Right, the "Criminal" pathway and the "Prisoner" pathway might be adjacent pathways, but their styles were opposite; a devil would not suppress their own desires at all, and their resistance to this kind of ability was far higher than his!

It was at that very moment when Klein's mind wavered that the "Devil" launched an attack; his speed was so fast that Klein could not capture it with his eyes, nor did he dare to.

He simply closed his eyes, listening only to the guidance of his spirituality intuition, and jumped directly to the right. The "Clown" and "Mirror Knight" 【abilities】 granted him extremely strong agility and physical strength, so his speed would not be too slow either.

Ssh!

Upon hearing this sound, the image of the rock behind him being sliced like butter surfaced in Klein's mind.

This "Devil's" strongest attack points were his arms and claws, but those happened to have solidified Mythical Creature Form characteristics; he could not look at them!

Relying on his spirituality intuition, Klein jumped several times in succession, barely avoiding the murderous intent of the devil's sharp claws.

He had used "Desire Control" several times before, but it could only slightly slow down the "Devil's" attack rhythm and was of no great use.

"Must use other methods!" Klein forced himself to stay calm, his brain racing.

I have Paper Figurine reserves, the Adros Mirror, the canvas of the "Person in the Painting"...

And Arrodes is probably my only chance, but it is uncertain whether it will be avoided by the "Devil's" Malice Perception, so...

There is only one chance!

He could only restrain the riot of his spirituality and wait for the opportunity to arrive.

"You seem to have some other trump card?" The "Devil" suddenly stopped, his eyes full of malice not lacking in shrewdness as he looked at Klein.

Klein's heartbeat stalled, and he felt a certain throb again, as if his heart had been grabbed.

It really is a "Devil"!

Klein used "Desire Control" again to steady his surging fearful emotions.

This "Devil" seemed to have the ability to see through the thoughts at the bottom of a person's heart, and would point them out at critical moments, causing the enemy to panic and lose emotional control.

The "Devil" could already conjure an enemy's emotions out of thin air, but if the enemy produced the corresponding emotions themselves, the "Devil" could cause even greater damage.

What a terrifying enemy... Klein was full of gravity; he had been led by the nose by this "Devil" all along.

Klein took a Paper Figurine from his pocket and shook it violently. The Paper Figurine flickered and turned into the appearance of Leonard, as if the real person had descended.

This was a Paper Figurine Klein had made previously, and it was also one of his preparations.

"You!" The "Devil" was also stunned to see a person appear out of thin air the first time he saw Leonard.

"Pacify!"

"Enter Dream!"

The Paper Figurine Leonard raised his hand and pressed down lightly. Invisible fluctuations dissipated somewhat unsmoothly, and the surroundings suddenly darkened, as if they had arrived at the dead of night; a feeling of peace and tranquility descended, accompanied by specks of starlight.

At this moment, a strange fluctuation seemed to fall onto the "Devil's" spirit, pacifying his malice and trying to pull him into a dream.

But the "Devil" soon realized something; as his spirituality pulsed, he broke free from that strange state. Sequence 6 abilities were very difficult to have an effect on him.

Boom!

It was just that the "Devil" was ultimately slowed by a split second because of this. When he looked at Klein, a man wearing a black vest had already accelerated to the limit and slammed into him fiercely.

This was a Paper Figurine Klein had made by replicating Maric's abilities!

A Living Corpse's body is very hard and its strength is sufficiently powerful; when running at full speed, its velocity can be faster than a Steam Train. With all these combined, his body was the greatest weapon.

The "Devil's" Demon Transformation was naturally also very powerful, and his physique could rank among the top of Demigods, but he would still be dazed for a while if hit head-on by a Steam Train, right?

Both Paper Figurines were burning up. Klein did not have any wishful thinking, so the power of both Paper Figurines was poured into a single attack to achieve the greatest result.

But it was still not enough... Again! Klein took out the last special Paper Figurine.

This was also the one with the highest Sequence in the detective agency—Miss Sharon.

"Wraith Possession"!

The Paper Figurine transformed into Miss Sharon, and then she jumped directly into the "Devil's" eyes, which were still in a daze.

The "Devil's" body went completely stiff.

Klein seized the opportunity and ran fiercely toward the only exit!

"Is this your trump card? A decent performance."

At this moment, the body of the "Devil" who had been controlled flickered, as if transforming between solid and illusory for an instant, and he grabbed the Paper Figurine Sharon in his hand.

It was very clear that even Sequence 5 abilities could not have much effect in front of a Demigod.

Malice surged in the "Devil's" eyes, and Demonic Flame burned away the Paper Figurine that had already lost its power in his hand, as he attacked Klein.

Boom!

Klein was hit by the accelerated "Devil" and slammed fiercely into the mountain wall. Another Paper Figurine burned, but this time it was a real Paper Figurine; it only helped him avoid this serious injury.

"Cough, cough!" This was the first physical contact between Klein and the "Devil"; if not for the last Paper Figurine, he didn't know how many bones would have been broken.

Now he had avoided this injury with a Paper Figurine, but he also fell to the ground, unable to crawl up.

"How many more Paper Figurines do you have?" The "Devil" stepped on Klein's body on the ground and cruelly bared his devil fangs.

He wanted to tear this person apart alive and eat him into his stomach while he was still alive.

"None left..." Klein shook his head slowly.

And this moment was also the closest Klein and the "Devil" had been.

The devil's Malice Perception pulsed violently, and he subconsciously wanted to jump up and get away from Klein.

It was just that the moment he collided with Klein, the Arrodes Mirror in Klein's arms had already fallen out and landed on the ground.

Klein did not make any attacking movements, nor did he take out the Arrodes Mirror; it really just tumbled out from his bosom.

The biggest movement was simply that Klein had moved too vigorously when using those few special Paper Figurine earlier, tearing off a few buttons from his formal attire.

"Are you intending to harm my supreme master?!"

Bloody handwriting appeared on the surface of the Arrodes Mirror, seen by the "Devil".

The "Devil" followed the guidance of his Spirituality, wanting to provide an answer to avoid harm, but he could only see a mass of Lightning Storm exploding before his eyes.
