Chapter 453: All Is Calculation

The Historical Projection pulled out by an "Ancient Scholar" also has limitations; powers involving a Unique cannot be pulled out.

But without a doubt, no "Ancient Scholar" would abide by such a rule, instead finding ways to skirt the edges.

For instance, the bronze coffin Klein has now pulled out with the help of the Causality of Mr. Azik!

This is a powerful Sealed Artifact that the Aegis Family has preserved for over a thousand years, used to resurrect the "Underworld Emperor."

It contains only one set of Beyonder Characteristics of the "Death" Pathway, but it holds the lingering will of the "Underworld Emperor"!

On this point alone, this bronze coffin surpasses most Zero-level Sealed Artifacts.

"Seal!" The "Death Consul" reached out and pressed onto the bronze coffin.

A strange connection appeared between the two, and the bronze coffin gradually opened, revealing the deep, deathly silence of darkness within.

At this very moment, the "Death Consul" reached out and pushed, and the bronze coffin had already arrived above the "Light Prison," swallowing the entire prison whole!

"Damn it!" That "Weather Warlock" was finally broken.

This bronze coffin made Him feel immense danger, because certain powers within it were things He could not transfer.

It was just that Klein had arranged three Angels inside the "Light Prison," firmly restricting this "Weather Warlock."

"Enter Eternal Sleep!" the "Death Consul" chanted majestically and sacredly, as if offering a sacrifice to the "Underworld Emperor" who holds the Authority of "Death," while the "Weather Warlock" played the role of the sacrifice in this ritual.

Boom!

The bronze coffin slammed shut, and the entire "Light Prison" was buried within the bronze coffin.

But this still wouldn't do; if there were enough time, Klein might hold a sacrificial ritual to offer the entire bronze coffin to the "Dark Kingdom."

*Cough cough*... Just kidding, just kidding!

Klein stopped the thought; the main reason he didn't carry it out was that Klein saw another retreat of the Feysac army.

Many of them were stained with the gray-white of death; of course, they hadn't died, but their condition was much worse.

From this, one could also see that the "Weather Warlock" in the bronze coffin was in decent shape.

Boom!

The bronze coffin shook violently, and even the coffin lid was almost shaken off.

The "Death Consul" was suppressing it, but it was still too late.

The Feysac general, whose military uniform was slightly tattered, had already appeared not far from Klein.

After all, it was not the real bronze coffin; at the moment the coffin lid shook violently, this "Weather Warlock" grasped the weakness and escaped the bronze coffin.

He was injured for the first time, because the power from the "Underworld Emperor" in the bronze coffin was something He could not transfer and had to bear personally.

"You have quite the talent for a 'Hunter,' to actually be able to send me into a trap?" This "Weather Warlock's" expression was somewhat strange.

The "Hunter" Pathway is the strongest "Conspirator," adept at all sorts of schemes and traps.

But the current situation was that He, an Angel of the "Hunter" Pathway, had fallen for it.

"You seem to have the power of 'Hidden' on you; I didn't even manage to detect it..."

But without a doubt, this "Weather Warlock" was a qualified "Hunter"; He had already gained Insight into the anomalies on Klein.

"It's just that you underestimated me. War is the art of gathering the masses!" The Iron and Blood luster in this "Weather Warlock's" eyes intensified, and in Klein's Causality Thread perspective, He had completely changed.

The Causality on His body suddenly condensed into a single strand!

This was something Klein had never seen since becoming a "Causality Attendant." At this moment, the threat this "Weather Warlock" posed to Klein was gradually increasing, at least more than double what it was before.

"This is the true power of gathering the masses!" Such a thought flashed through Klein's consciousness.

Then his Spirituality screamed wildly; he absolutely could not collide head-on with the current "Weather Warlock"!

After unleashing the power of gathering the masses, this Angel's danger level had leaped to another tier.

"Kill!" Klein chose the most suitable defensive measure at the first opportunity; he dove directly into the bronze coffin!

Clang!

A terrifying sound of impact rang out, shattering the last layer of clouds in the sky.

"*Cough cough*!" Klein only felt dizzy, and the bronze coffin had already dissipated.

"This is likely a deepening of 'Slaughter,' consuming a large amount of Spirituality to attack, but because of the power of gathering the masses, it underwent a certain change, and the original area-of-effect damage was condensed into a single strand and landed on me."

This was likely the strongest single-target attack Klein had encountered; even the "Light Storm" of a "Battle Angel" had been somewhat too dispersed in its power.

"But I still survived it!" Klein looked at the "Weather Warlock" with a slightly pale complexion.

"No matter how formidable an 'Ancient Scholar' is, it's impossible to block this attack of mine." The "Weather Warlock's" attack had not achieved the result of severely wounding or killing the enemy, but He didn't seem to care; instead, He was even more curious about Klein.

"And by now, I can basically confirm that you don't have a Zero-level Sealed Artifact on you."

"So the problem lies with you, right, Mr. 'True Apostle'? You should have also used Virtualization while in that coffin just now."

This "Weather Warlock's" tone was already quite certain.

"I'm truly envious; I actually thought about believing in Dream to mix in a second pathway, but Dream didn't pay me any mind at all!"

Klein's eyes narrowed slightly.

"You seem to be stalling for time?" Klein tilted his head. "Speaking eloquently is a common trait of the 'Hunter' Pathway; after all, the acting has already seeped into the marrow, but every word of theirs should carry a strong sense of purpose."

"So who are you waiting for?" Klein's gaze turned dark.

"It wouldn't be Zaratul, would it!" Klein suddenly said this in a clownish, humorous tone.

"You have quite the talent for 'Provoke'." This "Weather Warlock" looked at Klein and evaluated him seriously.

"Thank you, Amon says the same thing." Klein nodded slightly in thanks.

"So it really was Zaratul who leaked my intelligence to you, wanting to carry out an ambush on the battlefield? This is indeed a plan with a very high success rate."

"So you were repeatedly testing my limits; it was to stall for time, and also to make a final confirmation."

Afterward, Klein turned his head to look south; his spiritual intuition clearly told him that danger was approaching from there.

That Zaratul would actually get together with Feysac—this matter actually failed to make Klein feel surprised.

After all, this Angel's target had always been himself, so whether the ally chosen was Loen or Feysac seemed inconsequential.

Of course, judging from the current situation, Klein and Loen are still standing on the same front, and in this way, Zaratul, who is cooperating with the Augustus Family, will be restricted.

Therefore, the end of the honeymoon period between Zaratul and the Augustus Family is a high-probability event.
