Chapter 1235: The Projection of ‘Descent’

January 17, 2020 · 4 min read · 826 words

The blinding pure white ray pierced the glass window and landed on the Witch King Kalaman.

It then burst into intense light, dissolving all undead, darkness, and evil.

Kalaman’s figure suddenly ignited with a pale flame, like a paper doll brought close to burning coals.

It was indeed a paper doll, one seemingly condensed from crimson moonlight.

The Witch King’s substitution technique: Moon Paper Effigy!

As the paper doll turned to ashes, the ancient Witch King appeared on the cathedral’s spire, casting a cold gaze toward Emlyn White near the bell tower.

At that moment, in Kalaman’s blood-red eyes, the figure of Sharon in a black court dress with a small bonnet was reflected, and his body instantly stiffened, as if losing the ability to control itself.

Seeming as practiced as if they had rehearsed it a thousand times, Emlyn didn’t hesitate and aimed his Pure White Gaze at the Witch King’s left chest, preparing to activate the Spear of Purity from the Sun domain.

If this attack could hit Kalaman’s heart, the Witch King wouldn’t be able to dissolve it with Moonlight Transformation, nor could he rely on the super regenerative abilities of an artificial vampire.

Of course, this would inflict serious damage on Sharon, who was “possessing” Kalaman, but if they could quickly resolve the target, she was willing to pay that price.

In their previous discussions, Emlyn, Sharon, and Maric had already agreed on a few plans like this.

This was also why Sharon didn’t restrain Kalaman by affecting his clothes; compared to Vengeful Spirit Possession, that method was much easier for an opponent who could use Moonlight Transformation to dispel. As for whether Kalaman would feel shame from running naked, the Magic Mirror’s answer was no.

Under such premises, they ultimately decided to have Emlyn White launch a surprise attack to consume Kalaman’s Moon Paper Effigy and give Sharon an opening to use possession.

When Emlyn’s transparent glass ball once again gathered radiance and extended a spear of ultimate purity and blazing whiteness, Kalaman, who had been frozen stiff at the cathedral’s spire, suddenly changed.

A crack quickly split open on the middle of his forehead, and inside seemed to be embedded a blood-red full moon.

Moonlight flooded out like a tide, causing Sharon’s figure, with her ethereal body, light blonde hair, and light blue eyes, to uncontrollably float a bit away from Kalaman.

Kalaman’s stiff and sluggish movements barely returned to normal. In the glow of the full moon, he turned into a ball of blood, splitting into countless shards of light.

His figure swiftly reassembled at another spire of the cathedral, with the silhouette of Sharon in a black court dress pressed close behind him. Meanwhile, the Spear of Purity Emlyn had created passed through Kalaman’s original location and flew into the distance, expanding into a miniature sun in midair.

The entire port city was suddenly illuminated.

At the same time, a noticeable squirming occurred on Kalaman’s right shoulder; something tore through his black robe and emerged.

It was an exquisitely crafted male doll, only the size of a palm, dressed in a dark red gown with gold trim. Its eyes had been gouged out by someone, leaving only two empty sockets.

The doll sat on Kalaman’s shoulder, raising its hands and pressing its fingers repeatedly, as if playing an invisible musical instrument.

Sharon’s figure was instantly ejected from behind Kalaman, as if suffering severe repulsion.

Emlyn then felt his clothes tighten, firmly binding him.

His bow tie also came to life, threatening to strangle him in midair.

That doll was a Level 1 sealed artefact given to Kalaman by the Rose School, called the Eyeless General, formed after an accidental death of a Sequence 4 demigod from the Chimera Pathway.

It has a living characteristic, capable of possessing spiritual beings and animating inanimate objects according to the holder’s will, but the owner must regularly feed it their own flesh and blood, otherwise it will gradually grow eyes.

And if this sealed artefact becomes intact, it will transform into an evil spirit that frantically hunts its original master and despises all humans.

When Emlyn heard his bones creak under the strain, the Pure White Gaze that burned his soul burst into clear radiance, turning the surrounding area into a realm of no darkness and no evil.

The Eyeless General’s influence on his clothes was interrupted.

But at that moment, Kalaman had already mumbled a certain word, with a cruel smile, reached forward with both hands, and pulled open in thin air a hazy, illusory door engraved with many mysterious symbols.

This was the Gate of Summoning!

Sequence 3 of the Moon Pathway is called the Summoning Master!

Kalaman, originally only at the Witch King level, had directly completed a summoning under the illumination of the blood-red full moon on his forehead!

However, his overall demeanor had also undergone a change: rationality had faded considerably, and madness had become more pronounced.
