Picking up the slender blood crystal and catching a faint scent of sulfur, Klein vaguely felt the corrosive power embedded within.
"The Abyss is said to be the most polluted place. Even Angels would fall and lose control there, and those who guard it eventually become assimilated… The characteristics displayed by 'Death's Sigh' are quite consistent with that. Hmm, a deepening of the 'Apostle of Desire'?" Klein let his thoughts drift.
Soon, he noticed a detail: Gilleshius had sworn allegiance to "Death's Sigh," not to the "Undying King" Agari!
"Does this mean that the real 'Undying King' is actually 'Death's Sigh,' and Agari is just its spokesperson, or the manager of the polluted target? Hah, it's rumored that Agari isn't a demigod and hasn't reached Sequence 4, relying entirely on 'Death's Sigh' to be one of the Four Kings. If that's really the case, then his actual situation might be even worse than I imagined, with no autonomy at all…
"Of course, it's also possible that he's Sequence 4 and has a cooperative relationship with 'Death's Sigh.' After all, Devils are cunning and enjoy misleading others…"
Klein pondered for a few seconds and tried divination again to see if he could gain insight into the purpose of that slender blood crystal.
He wasn't worried that this would cause big trouble. Or rather, he was ready to face big trouble. Even if it connected him to the Demon King in the Abyss, it would at most be a backlash akin to that of the
It was the first time, so his location wouldn't be locked. No big deal… Moreover, he had just divined its origins, and there was no danger. So, 'Death's Sigh' certainly wasn't a Sequence 0 level demon… Eh, isn't that obvious? If it were a Sequence 0 demon or a sealed artifact at the level of the Angel King
In the gray world, he saw a land filled with thick black mist.
A monster composed of dark, huge fleshy lumps squirmed closer, and an angry roar burst from its cavity: "Whisperer!"
The scene changed, revealing an ancient altar splattered with blood, inscribed with filthy words and symbols that seemed to be calling out something.
The gray world shattered. Klein slowly opened his eyes and sat up straight.
He tapped the edge of the mottled long table with his finger and muttered silently: "Does 'Whisperer' refer to the fact that before 'Death's Sigh' became a sealed artifact, it was a 'Whisperer' from the Abyss? Or is it that the huge fleshy-lump monster was killed by a 'Whisperer' and became a sealed artifact?
"Heh, regardless, a ship must have been involved, otherwise it wouldn't have solidified into its current form.
"Hmm… judging from the laughter that nearly caused loss of control, it's more likely that 'Death's Sigh' corresponds to 'Whisperer.' It can be preliminarily concluded that it's not a Grade 0 sealed artifact. Otherwise, the 'Undying King' would be the head of the Four Kings… Probably Sequence 3? And Agari's combination with it is clearly not ideal, its degree of utilization is not high, at most Sequence 4 level…
"That altar with filthy and calling symbolism suggests that this blood crystal can be used to summon a high-ranking demon? For example, a 'Whisperer'?"
Completely ignorant of how to summon high-ranking demons and with no intention of doing so, Klein casually tossed the slender blood crystal into the pile of odds and ends along with the "Light Priest"'s left bright crystal — a Beyonder characteristic — and very perfunctorily named the former: The Aura of "Whisperer"!
After doing this, Klein cautiously tried another divination: to confirm whether he would be in danger tonight, danger from the "Undying King" Agari.
In fact, he already had some expectation of the answer: the "Undying King" Agari would not come ashore!
First, because Toscat had a hidden demigod. Ordinary Beyonders might not know, but the Four Kings were probably well aware, and Agari would almost never engage in direct conflict with other demigods. Forcefully entering another's territory was not his style.
Second, based on Klein's previous speculation, a conclusion could be drawn: Agari simply didn't dare leave "Death's Sigh," and "Death's Sigh" couldn't sail onto land!
Sure enough, Klein received an indication that tonight was very safe.
This meant he didn't need to change his appearance and move to another hotel.
…………
The next morning, a little after 9, Klein had just walked into the first-floor restaurant and found a seat when
The strongest hunter ran his fingers through his golden blond hair, slicking it back into a side part, and looked at Gehrman Sparrow, clicking his tongue.
"Incredible! You took down Gilleshius in a three-on-one situation!
"The sight of you dragging a demon corpse downstairs has already spread through Toscat Port.
"Hey, I hear all pirates with bounties have decided to stay out of your sight and within a 5-kilometer radius of you!"
Klein, who had almost quit milk after knowing
Anderson laughed. "It's a necessary quality for a Hunter. Hey, the adventurers in Toscat are debating a serious question: who is the strongest Hunter?"
Seeing Gehrman Sparrow look up at him with cold, ambiguous eyes, Anderson's smile froze. He said sheepishly: "They all chose you.
"Haha, after all, this is the Sonia Sea, not the Misty Sea."
