The Umbra Wolf, who was ferociously attacking
Its pupils, which already occupied two-thirds of its eyes, suddenly dilated, as if it had caught a familiar yet dangerous scent.
In the blink of an eye, the malignant spirit raised its arms.
The dissipation of the “wish power” in the surrounding area suddenly accelerated, and divinity began to return, reaching the Sequence 4 level. Meanwhile, from the soil beneath the Umbra Wolf’s feet, countless pale and illusory arms emerged, dense as a forest, reaching up to grab
Seizing this opportunity, Reinette Tinekerr, who was somewhat sluggish due to the manipulation of her “spirit body threads”, made her body ethereal and vanished on the spot.
Within the Umbra Wolf’s pitch‑black pupils, the figure of this messenger lady with golden hair, dressed in a gloomy, intricate dress entwined with sinister vines, suddenly sharpened and completed the “possession”.
The movements of Kotar, the “God of Wishes”, immediately became stiff, as if he had degenerated from a living being into a puppet.
He tried to influence Reinette Tinekerr’s “spirit body threads” to counter the “malignant spirit possession”, but was constantly interrupted by the pale, icy hands created by the other female malignant spirit, making it difficult to succeed.
Seeing this, Klein, while maintaining the “spirit body threads” encircling in a loop, slowly raised his “Star Staff” and aimed it at the black velvet “curtain” that had transformed into a cloak.
A scene immediately constructed in his mind.
The surrounding darkness suddenly began to flow, as if containing unimaginable secrets. Faint, illusory candle flames flickered in this environment, illuminating a long table covered with flesh and blood.
On both sides of the table, three extremely blurry figures held the flesh and devoured it hungrily.
The next second, these three figures simultaneously turned their heads, their gazes fixed on the translucent black velvet “curtain”.
The mad suction emanating from the “curtain” abruptly stopped, and it hovered in place in the form of a cloak, as if momentarily forgetting who it was, which side it belonged to, and what it should do.
“Feast of Betrayal”!
Fairy‑tale magic — “Feast of Betrayal”!
What Klein had just used was a fairy‑tale magic from “The Hermit”
This was a Beyonder power at the Sequence 4 level, so it couldn’t be used earlier under the suppression of the “wish power”.
At the same time, because the spell reproduced by the “Star Staff” was considerably different from the original, and the “curtain” did not harbor strong malice towards the Umbra Wolf, it only showed confusion and didn’t launch a frenzied attack on its owner.
As soon as Klein broke free from the influence of the “curtain”, he snapped his fingers, and crimson flames engulfed him.
An instant later, his figure, wearing a half‑height silk top hat and a long black trench coat, appeared from a cluster of flames beside the Umbra Wolf.
The crimson flames shot upward, forming a fiery stream, and Klein easily leaped out.
He then slightly hunched his back, holding the “Star Staff”, and sprinted towards the massive wolf, which was as large as a small hill.
Thump, thump, thump!
Klein ran faster and faster, as if turning into a gale. Greeting him were the Umbra Wolf’s two front paws, which had barely broken free from their restraints.
Slap! Slap!
Klein swung his black cane left and right, accurately hitting both of Kotar’s front paws, causing them to pause briefly.
At the same time, he lowered his body, slipped past these paws, and in a gliding motion, arrived in the space beneath the Umbra Wolf.
With a whoosh of wind, Klein twisted in midair and thrust the “Star Staff” upward.
With a squelch, the black cane, inlaid with various gems, pierced the dark short‑haired skin, deeply penetrating the Umbra Wolf’s body, and forcibly tore out a gruesome wound.
Gush!
Deep blackish‑red blood surged out like a breached dam, spraying towards Klein with a strong corrosive sensation belonging to a mythical creature.
But at that moment, Klein had already leaned back and flown out from under the Umbra Wolf, readying his second wave of attack.
Suddenly, he heard a broken roar.
It came from the Umbra Wolf Kotar, who was under the “malignant spirit possession” and moving with difficulty. The roar carried a meaning:
“Le…o…de…ro!”
… Klein’s gaze froze, and in his mind, he seemed to see the Umbra Wolf’s mockingly smiling face.
Those residual divine powers were not limited to him; he could draw upon them, and the Umbra Wolf Kotar could too!
Even if this “Miracle Worker” hadn’t previously known that the “Wind Angel” Leodero had become the “
Who couldn’t simply mimic?
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The streaks of silvery‑white dazzling lightning poured down like jets from a hose, overlapping and side by side, cascading onto the ruins of the ancient castle, completely engulfing all figures.
Klein had no time to react otherwise; upon hearing the first half of the word, he used his “Clown” abilities to forcibly twist his body, push off with his right foot, and return to the space beneath the Umbra Wolf. Reinette Tinekerr leaped onto the gold coin in his pocket.
