Mystery: Big Alarm Clock Ghroth Path

Chapter 53 The Will of Terror
Roger went to a multinational fusion restaurant and spent a lot of money to pack up Klein's favorite seafood rice, white bread, Feneport noodles, and Dipsy pie. He also found a seafood store to buy some seafood and dried fish. Then he took a public carriage to his home at 4 Daffodil Street.

He changed his clothes and told Bandit:

"You stay in the living room. If I don't come up from the basement storage room, don't go down."

"Why?" The tabby cat was a little puzzled. He stood on the sofa and tilted his head to look at Roger.

"You might die."

Roger touched Bandit's head with a smile, poured the dried fish he had just bought into the cat's bowl, and watched it eat.

Considering that he was going to perform a dangerous prayer ritual, he had to first stabilize the cat that could walk through walls, otherwise he didn't know what kind of trouble it would cause.

Roger was ready, heaved a sigh of relief, and then came to his workbench in the underground storage room again, put on the "Scholar's Ring", and entered the "Silent Concentration" personality.

"Four servings of staple food, four candles..." Roger began to set up the altar while recalling the ritual that Klein the Fool had told him before.

Seeing that everything had been prepared, Roger took a deep breath, used the coarse salt, clean water and Hermetic spells he had prepared earlier to sanctify the silver dagger and quickly created a spiritual wall.

As the essential oils distilled from the five kinds of flowers fell onto the candles, creating a pleasant aroma, Roger began to pray:

"O fool who does not belong to this age, you are the mysterious ruler above the gray fog, you are the yellow and black king who wields good fortune..."

"I pray for your help."

"I pray for your favor."

"I pray for your protection and care..."

During the prayer, Roger quickly recounted his fear when he met the Aurora Saint, and prayed to the "Fool" to protect him from possible disasters.

Klein had long known about the Aurora Saint's arrival in Tingen, and Roger wanted to tell it again because Mr. Fool said that this ceremony was used to request leave.

Now that Roger is holding a prayer ceremony for no reason, there must be a reason, otherwise it would be an act of "blasphemy".

It was perfectly reasonable for Roger, frightened by his encounter with the saint of an evil organization, to seek protection from another seemingly more upright god.

In this way, he showed enough respect without affecting his participation in tomorrow's "Tarot Club".

As the recitation came to an end, Roger once again felt a breeze blowing through the "Spiritual Wall", and a rust-colored star with flowing light appeared on his right hand.

The star was spinning rapidly, and Roger stared at it intently.

He didn't see it clearly last time, so this time he wanted to observe its essence clearly.

"Rust color? Doesn't this look a bit like Ghroth's 'Starlight'?"

Just as he had this realization, a gray mist suddenly began to spread over the ground inside the spiritual wall.

This fog was exactly the same as that inside Sefirah Castle, with no difference at all.

At this time, it quickly increased, spread, and climbed within the "Spiritual Wall", and in less than five seconds it reached Roger's chest.

Although Roger was panicking inside, he was much better than last time.

He was determined to observe this strange phenomenon, so he deliberately did not pierce the "spiritual wall" but allowed the mist to continue to rise, soak and submerge him.

But when the mist rose to his mouth and nose, Roger suddenly felt dizzy.

Not only did his movements become stiff and sluggish, but even his thoughts began to stagnate...

"This...Yug..." Roger felt something was wrong.

But just as he was about to activate the power of "Oneness of All Things" to save himself, the rust-colored starlight that had been obscured by the gray fog and turned dim suddenly burst into a dazzling red flame like a supernova explosion!

……

Inside Khoi University, by the Khoi River.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Luo Yao and others were conducting a background check on Mrs. Sharon's files and past experiences. Klein, who had nothing to do for the time being, returned to his alma mater to visit Mr. Azik Eggers, a teacher in the history department.

He had been here once before to discuss the ruins of the Honachis Main Peak with Mr. Azik, but the other party reminded him that there was an inconsistency in his own destiny.

After returning, Klein also performed divination and obtained some information. This time, he wanted to talk more about this matter with Mr. Azik.

At this moment, he was walking with Mr. Azik beside the gurgling brook, listening to him telling about his misty past, lost memories, and those strange dreams.

Klein listened intently.

However, just as he was about to express some opinions, a severe headache suddenly exploded in his head for no reason!

“It hurts… it hurts so much!!!”

If it was just pain, it would be fine, but at this moment, Klein felt two strange sounds echoing in his ears.

The first sound is like a signal of some kind of existence pattern. It seems to have some pattern when you listen to it vaguely, but it also has the characteristics of being extremely noisy, just like the chaotic signals that constantly emerge in interstellar space, constantly impacting the unknown existence in deep space.

The second sound is faint and inaudible.

To Klein, it felt like the mumbling of a dream, yet also filled with boundless rage...

Under Mr. Azik's concerned gaze, Klein unconsciously leaned forward, supporting himself on the ground with his right hand and covering his temple with his left.

"Could it be that Meters has done something again?"

Klein's mind was full of thoughts. This familiar yet unfamiliar feeling made him recall the vision that had appeared to him when Roger was praying.

Just as he was thinking about this, Klein suddenly saw four black spots appear on the back of his right hand.

Also appearing at the same time was the rust-colored circle in the center.

But unlike the vague feeling of being watched last time, this time Klein clearly saw a cold, ruthless eye emerge in the center of the circle. It was moving around, looking around, as if searching for something...

Within the walls of spirituality.

The moment the rusty light burst out, Roger immediately felt that the confused feeling was dispelled, and his mind became clear again!

Even the floating gray mist paused slightly.

"Hu...Hu..." Roger panted, trying hard to calm his thoughts.

But this calmness only lasted for less than two seconds, and soon the speed of the fog movement became several times faster than before, as if it was scorched by the rusty light and "boiling" like boiling water!

At this moment, Roger suddenly realized that some kind of originally scattered, great, indescribable chaos and nothingness began to gather together, and locked onto him with a clear target.

This made Roger feel extremely terrified, and he activated the ability of "Oneness of All Things" without hesitation!

　There will be another update later.
