It wasn't until Klein was about to "finish" the stone staircase that the two "Silver Knight" guards outside the main gate of the "
They turned their heads, the orange-red light clusters behind their visors flickered twice, as if confirming the identity of the newcomer, and had a moment's confusion.
On Klein's face, half normal and half terrifying, the right corner of his lips curled up exaggeratedly, while transparent worms wriggled slowly on the left side, presenting a smile that was both horrifying and nonchalant.
Snap!
His right foot stepped onto the platform in front of the main gate of the "Giant King's Court."
Suddenly, a silver-white crack split open on Klein's forehead, and countless sharp silver rays burst from within his body.
His whole body instantly fell apart, cut into countless pieces of flesh and blood.
These pieces floated up, rapidly thinning and fading, turning into paper shavings.
Klein's figures, in a silk top hat and black trench coat, appeared one after another in different positions, but were all torn apart by silver sword beams, degenerating into phantoms or transforming into paper figurines.
Just then, a figure abruptly materialized outside the main gate of the "Giant King's Court," from which the two guards had vanished.
It was a giant rag doll in a somber, intricate dress entwined with sinister vines.
When Klein was climbing the stone staircase, he had summoned this very messenger lady, but she had appeared in her "Wraith" form so that
At this moment, the two "Silver Knights," who had been hiding in the shadows and concealing their malice, instinctively pursued Klein, exposing their trail to the Angel-level powerhouse who had been observing in secret for quite some time.
Reinette Tinekerr's scarlet eyes immediately reflected a seemingly blank area.
A weak light shimmered there, and a white long-haired rabbit suddenly leaped out of thin air, hopping about, looking around frantically, its gaze unusually blank.
Then, the messenger lady stepped forward and disappeared instantly.
In another area, the remaining silver-armored knight materialized, his movements stiff and sluggish.
He had been possessed by a "Wraith"!
Klein, who had used himself as bait, stopped his "blinking" and, pressing his hand to his chest, bowed with great formality.
"Found you. Wish you well."
He then straightened up, raised his right hand, and snapped his fingers with a loud crack!
Bang!
The white long-haired rabbit suddenly exploded, scattering blood and flesh all over the ground.
Then, Klein walked step by step towards the "Silver Knight" guard who was struggling desperately but to no avail.
As their figures passed each other, the historical projection of Reinette Tinekerr returned to the mist, while that "Silver Knight" obediently followed Klein back to the edge of the stone staircase.
He had become Klein's marionette.
"We can enter now," Klein said with a smile to Colin Iliad and the others down below the stone staircase.
Derrick's eyes glowed slightly, and he admired inwardly:
Mr. World is truly incredible, taking down two "Silver Knight" guards so quickly all by himself!
Colin Iliad turned his head to glance at Lovia, reading a sense of gravity from her gaze.
The Chief of the
"Aberrant?"
Klein pushed a "Worm of Spirit" that formed the eyeball of his left eye back into place, gave a faint smile, and did not answer.
By the time Derrick and Lovia had finished climbing the stairs, the group of four demigods and a marionette turned and arrived at the main gate of the "Giant King's Court."
During this process, Klein collected the "Silver Knight" Beyonder characteristic that had precipitated from the white long-haired rabbit.
This would be Reinette Tinekerr's payment.
—According to their "one person, one angel" agreement, the spoils obtained from Klein's historical projections had to be split equally with the messenger lady.
This time, Reinette Tinekerr took the Beyonder characteristic, while Klein acquired the "Silver Knight" marionette.
Lifting his head to examine the main gate, Klein had that "Silver Knight" guard, who was much taller than him, step forward and thrust his greatsword into a crack in the ground.
Then, the "Silver Knight" lowered his body, stretched out his hands, and pressed them against the dozens-of-meters-tall main gate.
With a heavy, grating sound, the gate, studded with many golden nails, slowly swung open.
At this moment, the "Sun" high above pulsed, and the entire "Giant King's Court" froze in the orange-red dusk light.
The huge main gate opened faster and faster, and the scene within gradually revealed itself to Klein and the others.
