Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1101 One Leads Two

Somewhere in the God-forsaken Land, deep inside an ancient castle that looks as if it has existed for thousands of years.

A huge figure as big as a hill was crouching in the hall illuminated by dim candlelight. It looked like a wild wolf, with short black hair covering its entire body. There was a tuft of gray hair between its two black eyes that were larger than an ordinary human head.

In front of it, creatures of different races, including humans, giants, elves, etc., wearing different costumes, serve as the male servants, maids, cooks and guards of this castle. They are agile in movements and have vivid expressions. They can communicate with each other in Giant language and exchange information about work and life.

But in the eyes of the giant wolf, the spiritual threads of these servants all gathered together in an orderly manner and connected to itself.

They are all dolls. This is a doll castle, belonging to the "God of Wishes" and "Dark Wolf" Kotar.

Kotal was fiddling with the spirit string out of boredom, causing the two beautiful maids to hug each other. This was then discovered by a jealous third party. Just as the three were about to fight, they suddenly heard illusory, overlapping prayer sounds.

He raised his head alertly and listened attentively, and all the secret puppets followed suit.

It really was the honorable name that he had long forgotten... After hearing the content of the prayer, Kotal shook his head and instinctively wanted to cut off the connection, but his spirit realized that this prayer was somewhat different from the trap set by the human named "Amon" before. After hesitating for a moment, he raised his mountain-like body from the hall full of secret dolls, opened his mouth and roared silently, summoning another self in history.

When the original body plunged into the historical fog that had not yet dissipated and rushed to a secret historical fragment of the Second Era, the other "He" made a wish to himself and fulfilled the wish on his own. His figure disappeared in the light and came to a mountain peak hundreds of kilometers away.

After the projection's main body was hidden, it carefully let a short hair fall off and turned into a "spiritual insect". In the prayer light spot transformed by it, it saw the person chanting its own name.

He was a young man wearing strange clothes, with a lantern under his feet and chanting in Giant language.

The right eye was not wearing a monocle... After a careful observation, the Dark Wolf Kotar was relieved. But he soon noticed that in the vision brought by prayer, the man was surrounded by a gray mist that hid some illusory things.

This fog was very similar to the historical fog He saw when He entered the gaps in history, but it had an inexplicable attraction to Him.

Is it "Source Castle"?
Kotal, who had heard the legend of the source from the "King of Demonic Wolves" Fregra, had some guesses, but he was quite disdainful in his heart.

As a "miracle worker" who has lived in this land for thousands of years, evaded the pursuit of many ancient gods, avoided the hunt for the existence that claims to be the Creator, experienced the Great Cataclysm, and survived the search of Amon and His clones, Kotal maintains the utmost vigilance against anything he cannot understand, and adheres to the three principles of no contact, no spying, and no contact.

Moreover, He could see that the other person was just an image in the gap of history, just like Himself. The real body had already entered the historical fragment that only He was familiar with, making it extremely difficult to track and locate.

He should only be at Sequence 3, and he knows that I can't be fooled by this method, so why did he recite my honorific name... Is he just trying it out, or is there some deeper conspiracy? Ha, if I cut off the prayer light now, he will get nothing...

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Kotal took one last look at the young man with the aura of Sefirah Castle. Just as he was about to leave, he found that the man lowered his head again and chanted another honorific name:
"Eternal Sun, you are the eternal light and the embodiment of order."

It is the honorific name of the "Pure White Angel" after it becomes a true God... Kotal had received this information from some believers of the "Fallen Creator" who had mistakenly entered this land, and he immediately became confused.

Praying to any true God other than the fallen Creator is futile here. What kind of delusion is this human being engaging in?
Before He could figure it out, the man recited the third honorific name again:
"The Creator of all, the Lord behind the curtain of shadow..."

This time it’s the “Fallen Creator”!
Kotal's pupils shrank slightly, and he waited for a few seconds. He found that the young man in the prayer light spot was not swallowed by the darkness, nor did he turn into a deformed, evil, or corrupt creature. His doubts gradually increased.

It’s not like he hadn’t tried to chant this honorable name using a secret puppet or projection, but the results were not very good. However, this young man seemed to have used some method to isolate himself from the gaze of all gods…

Before this thought faded from his mind, the man began to chant the fourth name:

"Playing with the hands of time, flying in the shadow of fate, the embodiment of fraud and mischief..."

Amon, this is Amon!
The Dark Wolf felt like the hair on his head was about to explode, but remembering that nothing had happened when he prayed to the "Fallen Creator" just now, he overcame the instinct to flee, squinted his eyes, and wanted to continue observing the other party's situation, but found that the young man raised his head, which had been lowered, took out a pair of crystal monocles from his pocket, and put it on his left eye socket.

Tsk… Kotal’s projection and his real body hidden in the historical fragment laughed at the same time.

The next second, the man touched his head and moved his glasses to his right eye socket.

----

In the mist of history, in a ruined city before the First Epoch, Klein cut off the connection with the projection immediately after it finished reciting Amon's honorable name, without the slightest hesitation.

Reminded by Amon, the Archon in the "City of Dreams", he knew that as long as he had not reached the status of an angel, reciting the full name of Amon would be equivalent to giving his body to this "blasphemer", and there would be no possibility of escape.

Of course, his purpose was not to provoke the Angel King, who was currently storing the last of the Sequence 1 characteristics somewhere in preparation for becoming a god, but to use the other party's arrival and influence to conceal his true purpose.

Before doing this, he had already walked four steps backwards and recited three of the four sentences of "Fu Sheng Xuan Huang". At this moment, his thoughts flashed and the last sentence of the spell came out:

"Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun."

As usual, he came directly to the palace created by Sefirah Castle above the gray fog amidst the whispers and murmurs, and sat on the high-backed chair belonging to The Fool. In front of him, the "Star Staff" and "Sea God's Scepter" and other sealed objects that could be used at any time had already been placed. In the gray-white fog above his head, a deep red star that did not belong to other Tarot Club members was flashing rapidly, and circles of light were spreading around him, as if they were about to connect him with something.

It was exactly as Klein expected. After he chanted various honorific names and used confusing human behaviors to lure the Dark Wolf Kotar to keep staring at him, the other party, who was in the same path and had a higher status, would naturally see the gray fog produced by the Sefirah Castle, and be affected in the opposite direction, slightly contaminated, and establish a connection with the gray fog, producing corresponding light spots.

Before the other party discovered the problem and cleared the pollution, Klein had a few precious seconds to lock on to his position and head to his side!
Klein picked up the Star Staff, and his spirituality spread toward the star that was shrinking and seemed to be disappearing. Just as he saw the huge figure of the demon wolf as big as a mountain, the figure of Amon, wearing a monocle and with black hair and black eyes, was reflected in the light beside him that was rippling like water waves.

That was the historical projection of him being turned into an avatar by the other party. He also sensed the existence of Source Castle through the connection between the projection and the original body!
Don't be afraid. He doesn't know how to enter the gray fog space, and I'm already here... Klein's thoughts flashed through his mind, and his other hand reached for the "Poseidon Scepter", ready to wait for Amon to make any invading moves, and then strike him to death with a bolt of lightning.

But after Amon's clone put the monocle from his left eye socket on his right eye, he seemed to come alive. He looked around, a smile on his lips, and stretched out his hand to grab in the air.

He has stolen Cottard's mystical connection with the historical images that he parasitizes and controls.

In Klein's sight, inside the gradually shrinking crimson star, Kotal had just returned to the ancient castle and was gradually clearing all connections between his body and the outside world. He was abandoning his secret dolls one by one and preparing to move his position. Suddenly, a huge stone wall clock appeared above the head of Kotal, the "Dark Wolf".

Its ancient and solemn disk is divided into twelve grids of blue-black, gray and white, and three pointers made of "time worms" point in different directions.

when--

As the second hand ticked, the wall clock chimed melodiously, and everything around Cottard, including himself, slowed down and almost stopped completely.

Klein, who was above the gray fog, was stunned.

In order to attract Kotal's attention and know his location so that he could arrive before he escaped, Klein thought of using the "Star Staff" to simulate the "Thief's" ability to manipulate time. He also asked Pallez, who had lost the Sequence 1 characteristics and did not have the corresponding ability but still had experience and knowledge, for details of the ability and made all preparations.

But he didn't expect that the Amon clone that descended on the projection would actively use this ability to restrict Kotal's escape and help himself.

This means that the opponent must at least have the strength of an angel in order to use part of the power of Sequence 1 by virtue of his status.

Is this a trap? Once I reach Kotal's side, Amon will catch us all in one fell swoop?
Klein instinctively wanted to give up this action, but he knew that given Kotal's caution, it would be extremely difficult to find his trace again if he missed this opportunity, so he hesitated for a moment.

Amon's clone in Chernobyl seemed to have expressed some goodwill... At least before I go to the Giant King's Court and meet His request, He is willing to help me to a certain extent... At worst, I can use up my last chance of resurrection... I pray that the light spot will soon disappear...

Thoughts flashed through his mind one after another, and Klein made a decisive decision. His thoughts turned and he returned to the old city in the mist of history. He then came to the wasteland of the God-forsaken Land in reality with a lantern in hand.

Then, as if he had practiced countless times, he summoned himself holding the "Star Staff" and asked the other party to grab him with one hand and raise the Star Staff with the other hand. The scene he saw when he reversely contaminated the "Dark Demon Wolf" just now appeared in his mind.

It was a hall with candles lit and servants and maids walking around. It was a body of a demon wolf as big as a hill, a tuft of short, thick gray wolf hair and a pair of pupils that were almost entirely black.

Swah——

At the moment when the light and shadow flashed, Klein and his own projection used precise "teleportation" to land deep in the ancient castle.

In front of him, the eight legs of the dark demon wolf had just stood up, the ancient wall clock above his head was slowly disappearing, and the time around him, which had almost stopped, returned to its normal flow.

From the end of January when he smuggled into the God-Forsaken Land by dying and coming back to life, to now, mid-July, after nearly half a year of searching and planning, Klein finally officially met this "miracle worker."

Without the slightest hesitation, while the Dark Wolf's mind had not yet recovered from Amon's ability, Klein pushed away the useless historical images and let him return to historical nothingness. He then took out a gold coin from an iron cigarette box with one hand and threw it out. With his other hand, he reached into the air and successfully grabbed something the first time, and pulled it out with his back hand.

The gold coin spun in the air, and the side illuminated by the candlelight flickered and reflected Renette Tinicole, who was wearing a court dress and holding four heads.

The person who was pulled out by Klein was Angel Granger, who had a dull face and lifeless eyes.

The former used the mirror to jump from the surface of the gold coin to reality, her complicated long skirt fluttering in the air, and four pairs of bright red eyes on four heads staring at Kotar's huge body.

The latter first gained his own consciousness, and then exchanged places with the original body, allowing Angel, who had been waiting in the abandoned giant village, to cross a distance of hundreds of kilometers and arrive here.

As soon as the "Dark Wolf" Kotar came to his senses, he found that in addition to the human who had been performing confusing behaviors before, there were two more women in front of him who came from different paths but were staring at him covetously.

Ouch?

No matter how urgent the situation was, He couldn't help but let out a roar of doubt.
