"Fate!" The voice was harsh and difficult to pronounce. The positions of the "Hell Admiral"
The "Fortune Stealer" charm!
It was one of the "Fortune Stealer" charms Klein had made using "time worms" provided by Pallez Zoroaster.
To prevent his plan from being perceived by "0-08", he had stayed behind the scenes from the beginning, not only lending the "
Thus, the person who was "unfortunately" possessed by the evil spirit shifted from Ince Zangwill to Ludwell.
In an instant, Soren
In the hotel room, Klein calmly manipulated his puppet, without any hesitation or delay from the impact of the evil spirit. Ludwell immediately reached out, tore his clothes, and took out the Soothing Soul Mask, placing it over his face.
At the same time, Daly Simone, who heard the words of the "Red Angel" evil spirit, witnessed its state, and felt the powerful pressure, seemed to understand something. She not only didn't close the "Underworld Gate" but instead gritted her teeth and exerted all her strength to make the gap even larger.
Countless blood-drenched arms without skin, slippery tentacles with teeth, and bluish-black vines bearing baby faces simultaneously extended from behind the "Underworld Gate" and grabbed at Ludwell.
This allowed the "Hell Admiral", who had intended to do this step himself, to avoid those tedious operations. Taking advantage that the underworld within him hadn't yet been destroyed by Soren Einhorn Medici, and that the chunks of flesh were still rotting but not yet falling off, he abruptly turned around and charged toward the mysterious and illusory bronze gate!
He was immediately grabbed by arms, tentacles, vines, and souls that reached out from behind the gate. Combining his voluntary rush with a skin-crawling pull, he vaulted over the enlarged gap and entered the underworld.
Seeing this, Daly immediately withdrew her hands and stopped maintaining the bronze gate covered with mysterious symbols.
Bang! The indescribable illusory gate slammed shut heavily, and the "Hell Admiral" Ludwell, along with Soren Einhorn Medici and the underworld creatures inside him, were isolated from the real world.
This was a critical step in Klein's plan: to separate the "Red Angel" evil spirit from Ince Zangwill!
Although he believed that the "Red Angel" evil spirit was an unstable factor for Ince Zangwill, he still didn't want to face the evil spirit formed after the death of an Angel King and two Sequence 1 Angels while taking revenge on a demigod—no one could predict what a "Schemer" might do in such a situation.
Therefore, Klein devised a specific plan based on the miraculous abilities of the "Fortune Stealer" charm and the characteristics of Ludwell's puppet Pathway. The addition of Daly made the whole process smoother and more fluid, leaving no vulnerable gaps, and successfully sent the "Red Angel" evil spirit into the underworld!
This way, even if the other party could occupy the body of the "Hell Admiral" and return to the real world through Spirit World travel, it would be a long time before that happened, because leaving the underworld required finding an exit, and the Goddess of the Night had partially mastered the artificial God of Death and held some authority in the underworld, so she certainly wouldn't allow the "Red Angel" evil spirit to get out easily.
Sacrificing one puppet, one high-level charm, and two magical items to remove the "Red Angel" evil spirit from the battlefield—though painful for Klein, it was absolutely worth it!
As for the "Misfortune" on Ince Zangwill, on one hand, it was a continuous state, not a short-term fate; on the other hand, it stemmed from a "god's curse", so the "Fortune Stealer" charm could at most replace a small part of it, not nullify it, and it would quickly recover. As for Ludwell, he had the luck granted by "Winner"
Leonard had no way to foresee such changes, but he had been with the "Red Gloves" for nearly a year and had experience with many supernatural cases. So he didn't hesitate or delay, directly turning his gaze to the slightly stunned Ince Zangwill.
When the figure in a black priestly robe with one dull eye came into his view, his expression twisted, as if facing a shadow in his heart.
That was the shadow of being unable to do anything despite giving everything, the shadow he saw upon waking to find the captain and Klein already dead.
Leonard raised his left palm, pressing the human skin glove against his temple, while his right hand tightly gripped the "Fortune Stealer" charm. He spoke in a low voice: "Fate!"
Amid the reverberation of the ancient supernatural language, a transparent book condensed in front of the glove on his left palm, accompanied by the ethereal chanting of "I came, I saw, I recorded."
Dazzling silver-white lightning then leapt out, one after another, quickly engulfing Leonard.
"Lightning Storm!"
It was as if Leonard had pressed a revolver against his temple and pulled the trigger.
He was committing suicide, but at the same time he was using the "Fortune Stealer" charm to transfer this fate to Ince Zangwill!
This was the best way he could think of to use the "Fortune Stealer" charm and the "Creeping Hunger"—and it was full of courage!
Countless silver-white lightning bolts raged out, shattering the surrounding gloom. Leonard Mitchell suddenly woke up, finding himself still standing in place, his left palm not yet raised, his right hand just having gripped the "Fortune Stealer" charm.
Everything he had just done was only a dream!
