Mystery: The High-Dimensional Overlooker

Klein took out a piece of white paper from his chest and held it in his hand with two fingers. A faint flame appeared on the paper and burned it into images. Jumping letters.

After completing all of this, Klein took the whistle Mr. Azik had given him and blew it. A skeleton composed of white bones and black flames quickly emerged from the air. Klein folded the white paper like a gentleman and placed it in the hands of the slightly trembling messenger.

A white figure returned from the distance. Every step she took on the sea condensed it into a mirror-like frost. And it had only been a little over a minute since the Black Death came into contact with the ship.

Klein narrowed his eyes. While thinking, he had already transferred the "disease girl" Tracy, whom he had just transformed into a marionette, to a distance with the help of marionette swap. Let Tracy use the "Witch" ability to condense an ice block around her body on the outside and merge into the sea.

In a sense, Tracy's body has a certain mystical connection with Catalina. Catalina will most likely come here to solve or destroy Klein if her strength is one level different. Tracy's body prevents her from locking her position in the opposite direction with the help of other people's blood and occult connections.

It wasn't that Klein didn't want to leave. First of all, Katarina would obviously track down the murderer who killed Tracy, and after Klein lost his "Creeping Hunger", he wouldn't be able to escape from the ocean for a while.

And if he blends into the previous ship, there is a high probability that Klein will not be able to escape the witch's divination without the gray mist covering him. At that time, the entire ship will be annihilated. Although this would give Klein a higher chance of escaping, it also made him unwilling to do so.

In that case, Klein might as well stay here and wait for Azik's rescue in the burning home field.

Although he really has no way to deal with the "Eternal Witch" Catalina, he has already sent the letter to Mr. Azik!

Even before this operation, because he was worried about Adam's arrangements, Klein had already made preparations above the gray fog in various ways in advance, so that he could escape when encountering high-sequence Beyonders or even angels. room.

"As expected, it's the Sequence Three 'Immortality' of the Witch Sect... What is the Witch Sect doing? Even if I am prepared, I will definitely not be her opponent. I can only try to delay the time until Mr. Azik arrives. ”

Klein said to himself, looking at the white-robed figure not far away walking towards him with his feet on the ice. This is the demigod of the Witch Sect, the "Eternal Witch" of Sequence Three.

And she condensed the surrounding sea into a mirror-like ice surface not simply to intimidate the "evil wizard" in front of her, but because for a witch, the mirror is almost equivalent to their home battlefield.

In the world of occultism, mirrors are equated with passages to another realm.

Strictly speaking, the world in the mirror isn't the real world, but rather a collection of "gates." It's closely related to the spirit and astral realms, and if you get lost there, you might end up in extremely dangerous places like the "Abyss" or the "Starry Sky."

The "Eternal Witch" has been able to turn the surrounding mirrors into passages to the mirror world. She can travel through the mirror world and use the mirror world to turn the battlefield into her home field.

As Catalina's figure quickly approached, Klein took a deep breath. He believed that just as he had studied the relationships and abilities of the main members of the Witch Sect, some of the higher-ups of the Witch Sect must have also studied the abilities and relationships of the higher-ups in the Aurora Church and the Church of the Night Goddess.

This made Klein sigh, remembering that the person who appeared in the eyes of the Witch Cult at that time was his own pseudonym, Sherlock Moriarty. This made the Witch Cult trace the origins, but at most they could only connect the three identities of Dwayne Dantès, Gehrman Sparrow, and Sherlock Moriarty together.

As for Klein's original identity, it had already been hidden behind the Chanis Gate following Ins Zangwill's attack.

After all, with the help of the Aurora Society, the image of Sherlock that Klein disguised this time was not the original bearded detective, but an image closer to "Professor Moriarty" - of course, the younger version. .

That is why he had to hide Tracy's body and prevent Katarina from taking his daughter's body back. After all, no one knew whether this "immortal witch" could use Tracy's remaining spirit to resurrect Tracy, who had been transformed into a secret doll.

Although Klein is very confident in becoming a marionette, it is best to be cautious in this situation. After all, after being transformed into a marionette, the marionette will also have a certain connection with its owner (Note 1).

After all, if it were Klein's own item that had a mystical connection with him, or if a person with a mystical connection was taken away by others, Klein would also find a way to destroy the item or rescue the person. , to prevent others from having any unfavorable intentions against themselves.

Just like chanting the true and honorable names of gods, this is an extremely precise pointer in occultism.

Under the blazing flames, Klein took off his top hat and saluted Catalina, who seemed slow but was actually extremely fast. When Catalina entered the range of Klein's line of control over the spirit body, In an instant, Klein began to try to control Katarina's spiritual body thread.

The moment he started trying to control Catalina's spiritual body thread, Klein felt that the Sequence Three saint's spiritual body's tenacity was beyond any enemy he had seen so far.

As he moved, he also felt the power of a curse spreading toward him along the thread of the spirit body he controlled, as if he wanted to use the power of the curse to directly curse him to death.

Moreover, he saw Catalina's jet-black hair growing crazily and extending outwards while launching the curse. The black hair strands were rising outwards connected with thin threads invisible to ordinary people's perspective, directly It became a spider web, covering Klein's body inside.

If he switched to a sequence with weaker life-saving abilities, Klein would be directly trapped in an inescapable danger!

After feeling the spreading curse, Klein did not hesitate to stop his control of Katarina's spiritual body thread. A "Secret Puppet Swap" left the place, and the next moment, appeared in another place. Klein on the ship felt that the marionette that took his place turned into a lifelike statue.

Petrochemical!

The difference in strength between each stage above Sequence Four is indeed huge, which is completely different from the difference between the lower sequences.

At that time, I only had Sequence Nine, but I could already kill Sequence Seven Extraordinaries with the help of extraordinary items and firearms. But now, even if there is a difference of one sequence, the gap is almost irreparable, unless there are some extremely powerful magical items or well-matched demigod-level abilities.

Klein thought silently, and the premonition of danger from the "Joker" suddenly lit up in his heart. He once again used "Secret Puppet Swap" combined with "Fire Jump" to keep himself away from this battlefield.

The next moment, Catalina's figure appeared in front of the afterimage of Klein's "Flame Jump", but she missed it.

It’s true that I can’t beat you, but can I hold you back? Although the ability to regenerate is not as good as that of the Ageless Witch, the "Cunning Mage" knows very well that she is weird and difficult to kill.

Klein did not relax his vigilance because of this, because the next moment he saw a white figure outlined in the mirror beside him. Klein planned to repeat his same trick, and a ball of sparks flew up from his body, but it was suppressed by the frost that Catalina had prepared and was immediately extinguished.

Without flames, how can we perform a "flame jump"? Even though Katarina has not yet become a true angel, a "disaster witch" who can control all kinds of disasters, she can already roughly use the knowledge of some mythical creatures to control a wide range of frost and black flames.

Sequence Four may still be considered "half human" and belong to the category of human beings; but Sequence Three Extraordinaries can basically be regarded as moving natural disasters. Even the "Silver Knight" who specializes in single-target combat also has the ability to attack group targets.

But Catalina couldn't stop Klein's next move just like before, because there were too many marionettes around Klein, and for every marionette's death, a surviving pirate would be transformed into Klein's New marionette.

Note 1: Refer to the secret puppet Enuni that Amon used when he captured Xiao Ke. Xiao Ke is now a bit like Amon Adam PTSD, which is much earlier than the original state, and will be more cautious.

I wrote too much, there will be another chapter soon hehe

Chapter 342: Divination of "Near Death" (Part )

Catalina also knew that the "weird wizard" in front of her was obviously preparing something or waiting for something while fighting with her, otherwise he would not have acted so relaxed and had no intention of fighting with her.

When a "cunning mage" who is good at saving lives does not try to fight, he will be a troublesome opponent. The "Cunning Mage" who wants to escape is like a cockroach escaping in the kitchen. It is both disgusting and extremely difficult to catch. (Note 1)

It's such that even if you manage to catch it, the juice that explodes will make others sick for a long time.

Therefore, after realizing this, her hair was raised, and her eyes and pupils gradually stood up, turning into snake-like vertical pupils. A faint pink halo spread along Catalina's body to the outside. Suddenly, the living pirates on the ship subconsciously felt extreme attraction and extreme joy coming from the burning "Black Death".

Then, layers of black flames spread from their bodies and spread outward, burning all the living people and secret dolls around them to ashes.

Ignoring the wails of the subordinates who originally belonged to "Admiral Disease" who were struggling in the flames, Catalina disappeared from the spot without any fluctuation in her expression, and her figure was once again outlined beside Klein.

She was not going to give this "evil wizard" any room to escape, but was going to get rid of him directly so that others would not be able to use his secret doll to curse themselves.

The resurrection of the "Original Witch" is imminent, and the Church of the Evernight Goddess will obviously take action. As a loyal follower of the "Original Witch", Katarina knows that the Aurora Society, which was once a cult like them, has suddenly turned into a true church.

In this, she would not believe it without the support of several other orthodox churches.

According to her investigation, the Gehrman Sparrow in front of her was clearly connected to a Nightwatcher within the Church of Evernight. This connection might even date back to the collaboration between the "Witch of Despair" Panatia, who died in the line of duty before the Backlund Cataclysm, and the Aurora Society.

She can even guess that the Aurora Church is secretly cooperating with the Church of Night, and they have also followed the traces of the original witch's divine vessel directly to here - even, the "King of Aurora" may also own the Aurora Church. and the dual identity of the Church of Night.

This also means that he may have already asked for help from the Saints of the Church of Darkness - based on the speed and decisiveness of the Saints of the Church of Darkness, they may already be on their way.

Catalina is quite aware of the behavior of the Church of the Night. In the previous era, Catalina was almost besieged because she misjudged the speed of the saints of the Church of the Night.

Her daughter Tracy was not aware that the mission she had received to "capture Triss Chick, whom she had been responsible for capturing" was arranged by Adam who was working with the Original Witch, but Katarina vaguely knew some of the inside story and knew that "that person" was involved in this mission.

She took a deep breath, and the murderous intent in her eyes deepened.

In fact, Catalina didn't have much hatred towards Gehrman for killing her daughter. Instead, she was somewhat grateful to Gehrman for making her more "painful"; but she didn't think that after her daughter fell into the Church of the Night, the Dark Night Members of the church will not use this blood connection to impose a curse on themselves and trace their current location.

The "Aurora King" in front of him had obviously sunk Tracy, who had been transformed into a marionette, into the bottom of the sea. She didn't know where she was transferred, and trying to find her was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Unless through divination... But if I use divination now, he will definitely come to stop me from finding the "secret doll" he transformed... This "weird wizard" is more troublesome and much more troublesome than the group of people in the secret society I usually meet. Where did he come from?

As Catalina's mood became gloomy, some cold snowflakes condensed around her.

Do we really need to use "death" to remove the connection between Tracy and me? Even if the enemy is the "Church of Dark Night", the price to pay is a little too high...

Catalina continuously burned all of Klein's marionettes and things that could be transformed into marionettes on the sea, and then used the snowflakes around her to freeze all the burning flames around her, but the "cunning mage" in front of her was still During the "Secret Puppet Transformation", this time his battlefield was placed in the sea.

Klein's fingers trembled slightly, and he held the spiritual threads of various marine creatures in his hands. The "spirit worms" flew out and then retracted. As long as he slowed down a little, Klein's "spirit worms" would fly out in an instant. Destroyed by Katarina's curse.

As the spiritual threads of fish and marine creatures were quickly controlled by Klein, Klein's body continued to move in the water. From time to time, when birds that were frightened by the sound of fighting here passed by, Klein's The body will also instantly rise from the bottom of the sea to the sky, making people feel that he is moving between the sky and the ocean.

But the gap in personality lies here after all. It is quite easy for Klein to control the spiritual threads of these weak creatures, but for Katarina, it is also difficult to destroy these weak creatures. A fairly simple thing.

After just a few more minutes, due to the battle between the two, there were no living creatures left that could be made into marionettes. After all, Klein is not Amon. Like Amon, he can ignore the characteristics of the organism itself when parasitizing. Even microorganisms in the air can parasitize.

His body stopped on the ice, looking at Katarina in the distance.

Finally, I caught you...

Catalina's face was slightly pink, like a wife waiting for her husband to return.

She looked at Klein and smiled brightly.

Klein felt the blood in his body flowing backwards, rushing downwards. His body reacted almost instantly—this made Klein dazed for a moment, and he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

In the next moment, Catalina's body appeared in front of Klein. With a cold expression, she stretched out her slender fingers, trying to cut off Klein's body directly. And Klein could only consume the paper man substitute on his body, flattening his body, and used the substitute to resist this fatal injury.

Catalina, who had been disgusted for a long time, started pursuing Klein again without much thought. Cursed flames ignited around her, and this time Klein could only use the paper man avatar to avoid the fatal injuries, and many wounds gradually appeared on his body.

Klein calculated the time, took a deep breath, and rushed towards Katarina without retreating. Katarina didn't hesitate to rip open Klein's chest, almost tearing open his entire body.

The next moment, Klein's figure turned into a paper man again. His face was already a little pale, but he still endured the pain. He used his right hand to gently press on the red wound on his chest to transfer the injury. On top of his left hand.

Accompanied by intense pain, the penetrating wound in Klein's chest disappeared, replaced by a broken left arm.

Although there is a "paper man substitute", the "paper man" cannot stop the curse of the Ageless Witch. At this time, it is the "magician"'s "damage transfer" that works wonders. Klein tore off the torn pieces of his clothes with his hands, and the soft pieces suddenly became as sharp as blades.

When Klein cut off his entire forearm, black flames also burned outward along the wound, burning Klein's broken limbs into a ball of ashes.

Run down—As soon as this idea came to Klein's mind, he saw Catalina's palm in front of him.

While slashing at Klein's neck with his palm, a hand pressed on Klein's shoulder.

Gadagada...

As the ice cracked, Catalina saw that Klein, who was about to be killed by her, had disappeared. He appeared out of thin air on another piece of water, making Catalina wonder whether the "cunning mage" in front of her still had the ability to travel through the spirit world.

Why hadn't he used this ability before? According to the intelligence, his extraordinary item with the ability of "spiritual teleportation" should have disappeared... Catalina looked at Klein, who appeared on the other side with the help of the spiritual world shuttle, and looked at him unwillingly.

Her pupils turned into vertical pupils, and her body gained a bit of "Medusa"-like characteristics - she took the risk of accumulating madness and turned on her mythical creature form. This is a curse that cannot be replaced by a paper double!

However, the originally invisible curse now seemed to take shape, spreading ripples in the air. These ripples gradually stopped and turned pale.

Following the ripples, what appeared in front was a man from the Southern Continent wearing a bird-shaped crown made of gold on his head and a dark black robe embroidered with gold thread. His eyes were indifferent, covering these ripples in his own eyes.

This is actual death.

——This is "death".

He raised his hand and grasped these invisible ripples. These ripples representing the "petrification curse" were compressed together layer by layer, forming a stone that could be held in the palm of his hand.

He let go slightly, and the stone seemed to have withstood the influence of time, turning into stone fragments in just a few seconds, shaking and falling in the air.

"You are--"

Catalina's pupils shrank, and she looked in disbelief at the man in front of her who was holding the "Cunning Mage" she was chasing.
