Chapter 404: Phosphor Worm
Blood-colored moonlight surged out; in Klein's eyes, this "Witch King" had already become a part of the Red Moon, losing her own inherent traits.
This is the ultimate end for evil cultists; in their own words, it is to become a part of a great existence.
These lunatics do not care about their own mental state at all.
"The Moon again..." Klein's brows furrowed slightly, feeling as if he were stepping, bit by bit, into the field of vision of some existence.
The last time he had this feeling was with the "Mother Tree of Desire"; She blocked him in the Underworld, and he almost lost his life there.
Therefore, he must be more cautious this time.
Klein's figure flashed, the Dream Phosphor on his body shining brightly like stars in the dark night, washing away all unclean Corruption.
As for that suggestion from Dakesi to go to the moon and take a look...
Was this an insult to his intelligence?
"Who said I was leaving?" Klein suddenly asked in surprise, "I'm just starting to get serious."
Klein flicked his hand and threw out a Paper Figurine; the Paper Figurine expanded in the wind, becoming a demon that drew a Magma Greatsword and slashed down at the stiff-bodied "Mad Woman."
"Summon!" Dakesi pulled at his forehead in opposite directions with both hands; the wound on his forehead instantly covered and enlarged several times over, spreading to the top of his head.
And that gap of a Red Moon was also growing larger, the moonlight becoming increasingly dense.
In an instant, Dakesi filled the entire world with a certain eerie vitality, a vitality that continuously eroded Klein and his marionette.
This caused both of them to subconsciously make intense responses.
Klein called this a "forced memory kill."
At the same time, Klein directly grasped the Spirit Body Thread of the "Mad Woman," making her controlled state even deeper.
Klein glanced at the "Mad Woman"; he no longer held back against this fellow countrywoman, and this one look directly stirred all of her Causality!
This was an absolute, forced control; in this instant, the "Mad Woman's" mind involuntarily surfaced with the life she had experienced, and various memories of joy, sorrow, and anger made her movements stiffen.
Under such circumstances, he no longer needed to worry about being Corrupted and could let go and act freely.
"Want to leave?!" Amidst that brilliant cluster of Dream Phosphor, both Dakesi and the "Mad Woman" had their expressions change, keenly sensing the changes leaving their bodies thanks to the moonlight's erosion of the area.
Dakesi's expression was extremely ugly, because he discovered that the influence of the crimson moonlight on Klein was almost non-existent, and for some reason, that interference with vitality had failed directly.
The mental defects of her past life and the evil god Corruption of this life created the crazy her of today, but there were always things she cared about; of course, it didn't matter if she didn't, Klein would make her care.
The "Mad Woman" directly "Traveled" to Klein's side, and tentacles actually extended from the blood-colored dress on her body, intending to keep Klein here.
"Go!"
After all, marionettes and Paper Figurines are dead objects; Dakesi's idea of depriving them of life was wrong from the start.
Hmm... the truth is, his main body had already hidden in the corresponding Phantom Realm, and the one here now is a Paper Figurine.
Under such dense moonlight, the Paper Figurine where Klein's will was lodged suffered intense erosion; the paper was turning red, and the marionette seemed to be starting to give birth to a strange sense of life.
"Truly strange indeed..." Klein muttered in the Phantom Realm, then pulled three hairs from his head.
Er... not hairs; strictly speaking, he no longer had such things now; in reality, these were three Phosphor Worms.
The phosphor of Dream Phosphor.
After he became a "Bizarro Sorcerer," he had already turned into a pile of Spirit Worms, but during the incident in the Grey Fog, he followed Chumen's suggestion and integrated Dream Phosphor into every corner of his body and soul, which created these unique Phosphor Worms.
These Phosphor Worms were very different from Spirit Worms; not only did they change from grey-white to colorful, but they also grew a pair of illusory wings, looking rather like butterflies after breaking out of a cocoon.
The "butterflies" were covered in mysterious and evil runes, while their wings bore sacred and dreamlike phosphor, forming a strange aesthetic.
The Phosphor Worms were flicked out, descending directly into Reality, like three butterflies carrying Dream Phosphor landing on the two Paper Figurines and one marionette Klein had in the outside world.
The abnormalities on the Paper Figurines were directly cleared, the life aura on the marionette Herwin Rambis gradually dissipated, and the Dragon's body became even more powerful.
"Roar!"
Herwin Rambis lunged out, "Mental Terror" and "Mental Plague" abilities sweeping toward Dakesi.
Yet, this Astronomer didn't even look at the Dragon; with a cruel smile, he reached out his hands and pulled open a gate from thin air—an illusory, hazy gate engraved with many mysterious symbols.
This was the "Summoning Gate"!
This should have been an ability of a Sequence 3 "Summoning Master," but now Dakesi, relying on the head-sized moon, had also completed a "Summoning."
Klein's eyes twitched, sensing the arrival of danger.
He looked at the "Summoning Gate," where two palms had extended out; the skin of the two palms was lusterless and lacked texture, like the lowest-quality rag doll.
"This..." Klein subconsciously threw out a Paper Figurine.
"Utilization!"
This was one of the strongest Paper Figurines on Klein, coming from Qunas Colger, belonging to the "Lawyer" Pathway, a "Fallen Earl."
After he became a dual-Pathway Demigod, the Paper Figurines he crafted could already possess the full power of a Demigod.
The "Utilization" ability was also very special; it could keep an enemy or object in a certain state or end it prematurely, equivalent to utilizing the Rule.
And the effect of this "Utilization" was to end the "Summoning" prematurely!
It wasn't that a "Summoning Master" shouldn't be performing a "Summoning," but a forced "Summoning" would inevitably lead to various hidden dangers.
Klein was "Utilizing" these very hidden dangers.
And when the power of "Utilization" landed on the "Summoning Gate," Dakesi, with the head-sized moon above his head, had his eyes widen, looking at the newly appeared Demigod Paper Figurine, unable to comprehend.
It would be one thing if one Demigod were this powerful, but you also have two Demigod-level marionettes?!
At the same time, the marionette Herwin Rambis turned his head abruptly and slammed into the "Summoning Gate" with his Dragon body.
"Amplification!" Klein amplified the effect of the Dragon's impact.
Boom—!
At this moment, the entire building seemed to tremble.
The "Summoning Gate" existed between the physical and the illusory, but those two extended hands were undoubtedly physical.
And according to the logic of "Summoning," without anyone specifically responding, this "Summoning" could only summon helpers stronger than oneself.
Bang!
The "Utilization" finally took effect; it successfully reduced the duration of the "Summoning Gate," and those hands could no longer reach out.
