A male voice? Mr. "Hanged Man," or little "Sun"? Klein glanced at the gloomy sky outside the window, got up, entered the bathroom next door, locked the door, took four steps counterclockwise, and ascended to the
In that mysterious space, the majestic ancient palace stood silently. The illusory male voice overlapped, echoing continuously.
Klein glanced and confirmed that the prayer came from little "Sun."
He sat down in the "Fool"'s seat and stretched out his right hand, extending his spirituality to touch the corresponding crimson star.
Suddenly, the voice of supplication became clear and distinct. Klein quickly understood what "Sun" was talking about:
The former exploration squad leader next door, who had seen
"Sun" believed that the other's loss of control wasn't without reason. He speculated on two possibilities. One was that the opponent's Beyonder pathway was exactly what the descendant of the
If it were the former, it wouldn't have waited until today, waited until after the Tarot gathering to lose control... It's probably the latter reason... Sigh, this is the first time I've encountered someone who can sense the Gray Fog... That Amon is truly terrifying! No wonder his family was called the "Blasphemers" in the Fourth Epoch, and even the surname itself is taboo... Klein subconsciously looked at the corresponding supplication scene manifested by the crimson star, carefully observing the blurry little "Sun" to see if there were any abnormalities.
—Klein believed that Amon would never be eliminated so easily. Even if, as the Chief of the City of Silver said, he was not the main body, it was impossible!
Unless he completely didn't expect the City of Silver's powerhouses to monitor him with Sealed Artifacts, but was that possible?
When he decided to let the former exploration squad leader lose control and quietly pierce the seal, he certainly had some plan...
Amidst these scattered thoughts, Klein's gaze on the prayer scene suddenly froze.
On the blurry, hard-to-see "Sun," a transparent, illusory figure was coiled!
It had arms and legs, but like a python, it twisted around "Sun," its head propped behind "Sun's" head!
In the hazy image, he seemed to be wearing a black classical robe and a same-colored pointed soft hat, with a crystal-like monocle hanging from his face.
"Sun" was completely unaware of all this!
...Klein almost sucked in a breath of cold air, frightened by the other's bizarre methods.
He vaguely understood the other's goal:
"Dwelling" within "Sun"'s spiritual body, waiting for the next Tarot gathering, sneaking into the Gray Fog without anyone noticing, like a virus or a trojan horse!
When that happens, my control over this mysterious space might be taken away... Truly a "Blasphemer"! Luckily, luckily little "Sun" is relatively simple and straightforward, immediately reporting this matter to me. And through the corresponding crimson star, with the power of the Gray Fog, I can discover his strange state... Klein took a breath and tried to calm himself down.
At this moment, he had to respond, either quickly find a way to eliminate the Amon inside "Sun"'s body, or temporarily exclude "Sun" from the Tarot gathering.
Inspecting himself, from the Beyonder abilities of "Magician," "Clown," "Fortune Teller" to items like Azik's copper whistle, the "Black Emperor" card, the
The other's Sequence was definitely above 4, and his methods were bizarre enough to fool the Sealed Artifacts that were the foundation of the City of Silver's survival and the powerful "Demon Hunters." Ordinary things and abilities couldn't eliminate him!
After thinking for a moment, looking around, Klein found that only the Gray Fog, only this mysterious space, had the possibility of dealing with Amon.
He had to find a way to leverage its power... The previous Sacrifice and Granting rituals were examples... With this line of thought, Klein turned his gaze to the "Secret Tome."
This esoterica book, originating from the ancient wizard king Calaman, recorded many mystical rituals for seeking help from the Primordial Moon.
Having browsed it before, Klein vaguely remembered a few that were suitable for this scenario.
Of course, after changing the target to the "Fool," what adjustments needed to be made and whether it would be effective were unknown. He could only try with the mindset of treating a dead horse as if it were still alive... Klein flipped through the book, his gaze stopping on one ritual:
"Blood Moon Sacrificial Rite."
This ritual magic was significantly different from the simple types he had learned before, utilizing elements of Mysticism.
The procedure was: first, use material rich in spirituality, preferably the blood of a Beyonder, to write the Honorific Name of the Mystical target on a piece of animal skin, draw the corresponding symbols and magic marks. If necessary, a specific time, place, and environment also needed to be considered.
After completing this step, the ritual conductor arranged the altar, picked up the animal skin, continuously chanted the Honorific Name, and allowed his spirituality to spread into the animal skin, gradually diverging, aligning bit by bit with the corresponding Great Existence / Hidden Existence, obtaining corresponding spiritual experiences or certain help.
The final result of this ritual was unknown. It completely depended on what the Great Existence / Hidden Existence gave. Alternatively, depending on the characteristics of the individual, the knowledge and power gained through that secret alignment would also differ.
