Sewers flow with dirty water, there is no light in the drains. For a normal person walking here, they must carry a lantern to see clearly.
But for Klein in his spirit state, this is not an obstacle; everything around is already reflected in his "vision."
Thus, when the "Apostle of Desire" discovered him, he also discovered the "Apostle of Desire."
Without speaking, without hesitation, he directly opened his mouth and let out a silent scream.
This is an attack that directly harms the soul!
The "Apostle of Desire" was about to move, but suddenly froze, as if struck a heavy blow.
His shadowy form shed large patches of black, like snow stained with the deepest desires.
In that moment, the already severely wounded "Apostle of Desire" nearly fainted.
Without a physical body to support him, he flickered like a candle in the wind, swaying and threaten to extinguish at any moment.
His shadow suddenly scattered, turning into black liquid that flowed in all directions, making it impossible to know which one to chase.
And at this moment, from the darkness behind Klein, a shadow suddenly darted out and lunged forward!
Those not-so-viscous black liquids were merely tools used by the "Apostle of Desire" to confuse and facilitate his surprise attack!
Klein seemed completely unprepared, letting the shadow pounce on him.
However, the "Apostle of Desire" suddenly shivered, as if he had touched something the coldest and most frigid.
The shadow quickly slowed down, seeming to be frozen stiff.
He knew that resentful spirits and specters have built-in freezing effects, but he didn't expect this crowned figure to affect even him, a fellow spirit being.
This was a complete suppression of rank!
Klein had anticipated this outcome. He half-turned, extended his right hand, and placed it on the head of the stiff shadow.
Then, the dark gold "Sun Brooch" hidden beneath the black armor glimmered.
The "Apostle of Desire" sensed danger, felt the arrival of doom, and wished to resist, but was momentarily powerless.
A pure and sacred light came into being out of nothing, falling on the shadow's head and enveloping its body.
The surroundings were suddenly illuminated. The black shadow struggled desperately, but continuously evaporated. In the blink of an eye, it had become exceedingly thin, its spirituality filled with the radiance of the blazing sun and unwilling mad cries.
Klein didn't give him a chance to catch his breath; he summoned another pure and bright holy light.
The sensation of daylight lasted for two seconds. The "Apostle of Desire" fell to the ground, losing all signs of life.
His body remained in shadow form, thin and seemingly without thickness.
This Sequence 5 powerhouse, who had just assassinated a duke, died like this, without even leaving a last word.
At the same time, Klein saw his battered and fading spirit.
"The extraordinary characteristic will precipitate later... Should I imitate Miss Sharon, possess the shadow to speed up the process? But I don't know that technique..." Klein considered what to do next.
Suddenly, he felt the ground tremble slightly.
Relying on spiritual intuition, he looked back to where he had passed.
A tall, heavy silver armor rushed forward; from the left shoulder diagonally downward, the area was stained with large patches of clotted blood.
Sealed artifact "1-42" ... Klein's heart tightened. He immediately wrapped up the spirit of the "Apostle of Desire" and ended the summoning.
His original plan was that even if he didn't have time to deal with the "Apostle of Desire," as long as official Beyonders arrived, he would immediately "return" and leave the rest to them.
The Red Glove wearing the blood-stained silver armor had just seen a figure with a black crown and cape of the same color when he found that the figure had disappeared without a trace, leaving no signs.
He narrowed his eyes and carefully examined the spot where the figure had been, finding the lifeless "Apostle of Desire."
"Eliminate clues, destroy evidence?" he muttered.
Footsteps sounded, and the other Red Gloves arrived one after another.
...
After returning to above the gray fog, Klein didn't rush to communicate with spirits. He directly left that mysterious space and entered his body in the real world.
He skillfully packed up the candles and ritual items, quickly removing every last trace.
After doing all this, he created a substitute again, walked backward four steps, and came to the ancient palace above the gray fog.
Here, he could directly communicate with the remaining spirits like a true "medium," without needing to pray to anyone or even requiring ritual assistance. He had verified this when communicating with the spirit of "Puppet Master" Rosago.
Considering that the spirit of "Apostle of Desire" Beria was purified and could dissipate at any time, Klein decided to first inquire about relatively more important information.
As for the potion formula for the "Demon" pathway, he planned to consider it later. Even if he obtained it, he didn't intend to sell it, lest he cultivate a few cold-blooded serial killers.
Looking at the brown-haired, brown-eyed "Apostle of Desire" with vacant eyes, Klein extended his spirituality and asked:
"What exactly are you plotting?"
The "Apostle of Desire," completely cut off from the outside world by the gray fog, could only answer dazedly:
"To assassinate Duke Negan."
"Duke Negan... Him again? Who wants him dead so badly?" Klein asked in slight surprise.
"Did you succeed?"
"Yes, I succeeded," the "Apostle of Desire" replied calmly, without adding anything else.
In this state, he only answers what is asked.
