Boom!
A massive explosion erupted, sending a blast of ice crystals that quickly turned into mist, filling the air.
By then, Klein had already fallen into the sea. He only heard a muffled sound from above his head, and his spiritual intuition told him that the attack had been blocked.
A Demigod! There was a Demigod hidden on the Black Death? Why didn't she appear when I assassinated Tracy?
Klein's expression turned grim. He was worried that the strand of hair and button he had left in an inconspicuous corner of the Black Death for divination and positioning would be discovered by this Demigod, a Demigod-level Demoness. She could use these items to pinpoint his location and even directly curse him.
As Klein pondered, the corpse he had dragged into the sea with him had already been consumed by Creeping Hunger. He held his breath and continued to swim downwards.
At the same time, a huge marine creature, somewhat resembling a whale, quickly swam up from the depths of the ocean, opening its exaggerated maw and directly swallowing Klein, then swimming towards the deeper parts of the ocean, in the direction of Bayam.
Klein stabilized himself in the cavity of this enormous marine creature and found the black cloth bag he had prepared earlier for it to swallow, which contained various talismans he had prepared in advance.
He merely glanced at it, confirmed nothing was missing, then immediately stood up, chanting incantations and walking four steps counter-clockwise.
On the Black Death, Tracy's expression was extremely distorted. She hadn't expected the Demoness's talisman to be of such a mutually destructive nature.
Due to the close proximity, she was greatly affected and didn't even have the strength to stop the assassin, only able to watch the person disguised as Irene leave.
The extreme sense of being locked on made her fear she would be torn to shreds the next moment. She closed her eyes in despair.
Her face was contorted in pain, appearing extremely ferocious.
Almost in the next moment, her extreme sense of danger and the pain from the surrounding dark red flames completely vanished, replaced by a bone-chilling cold.
Boom!
A massive explosion echoed above the Black Death, causing the entire ship to shake uncontrollably.
Tracy staggered from the violent shaking, her body pitching forward and falling into a warm embrace.
She seemed to recall something, quickly breaking free from the warm, tempting embrace that made one want to sink into it, and saw the person who had suddenly appeared on the Black Death, in her captain's cabin.
She wore a simple, sacred white robe, had lustrous dark hair, and a pair of blue eyes that seemed both mature and innocent, profound and pure, clear and beautiful.
"...Mother," Tracy's lips mumbled, and only after a moment did she utter a single word.
Katarina Pelle looked at Tracy, whose body was severely burned, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes. She reached out and gently stroked Tracy's face, her voice soft and extremely alluring as she spoke:
"Elena's overly eager advancement to Demoness of Unaging left her with some hidden troubles. Although she appears fine, her sanity has become somewhat distorted. She unconsciously leans towards madness and extremism in her actions."
"If the Conqueror Characteristic can be recovered, it will be fine. If not, she might lose control due to emotional instability, even without Primordial One's punishment."
As she spoke, she cupped Tracy's face with both hands, gently rubbing it, temporarily bestowing some of her Demoness of Unaging abilities upon Tracy.
The wounds on Tracy's body quickly writhed and disappeared at a visible speed.
In just a moment, she was fully recovered, though her clothes were torn and ragged, completely failing to conceal her body, which added a hint of an intimate atmosphere between her and Katarina Pelle.
Above the Gray Fog, within that magnificent ancient palace, Klein's figure suddenly appeared before The Fool's high-backed chair.
As soon as his figure materialized, he swiftly picked up the black emperor card lying face down on the mottled long table, and at the same time, beckoned, retrieving a crudely cut paper figure from the pile of sundries in the corner.
The paper figure landed in his hand. He merely glanced at it before shaking it towards the constantly radiating deep Red Light of the star.
The paper figure expanded, distorted, and grew larger in mid-air, quickly transforming into the image of a tall angel with twelve pairs of dark wings on its back.
The tall paper angel then descended into reality through the connection established by the prayer star, wrapping Klein's body in layers with its dark wings, bestowing a blessing upon him to evade any potential divination curses.
Phew~ After completing all this, Klein let out a long sigh of relief. Only then did he have the energy to recall everything that had happened today.
There shouldn't have been a Demigod on the Black Death before; otherwise, my previous divination there would have directly warned me of danger. Moreover, judging from Tracy's reaction, it didn't seem like an ambush she was aware of. She merely anticipated that she would encounter danger but wasn't clear about its source, which is why she was so surprised at the time.
That urgent sense of danger appeared after the dark red flames erupted, or more precisely, after Al provided me with assistance through Eyes of Mystery Prying... The Demoness Sect is targeting him because of the Conqueror Characteristic?
Klein's gaze fell on the desktop to his left, where a peculiar crown, covered in bloodstains and rust, lay quietly.
After a brief pause, he materialized his usual citrine pendant in his hand and performed a simple divination.
"Al is in danger."
After closing his eyes and chanting the divination phrase seven times in a low voice, he reopened his eyes. The citrine pendant in his hand was rotating rapidly clockwise.
In danger, and the danger is great. As Klein interpreted this in his mind, he extended his right hand towards the pile of sundries again.
A crudely cut paper figure flew into his hand on its own. He then infused it with spirituality and shook it out.
With the high-level blessing of the black emperor card, the paper figure rapidly expanded and distorted, transforming into a tall angel with twelve pairs of dark wings, and merged into the deep red star representing Leyton.
Having done all this, he put down the black emperor card in his hand and picked up the sea god scepter, issuing commands to the marine creatures in the surrounding sea area, ordering them to create chaos in the ocean, interfere with any potential pursuit, and help him quickly move away from this sea area and return to Bayam.
I hope to return to Bayam smoothly. Once there, with the protection of the Church of the Lord of Storms, the Demoness Sect won't care about a small Sequence 6 like me.
As he pondered, his gaze fell upon the deep red star representing Leyton. The Demoness Sect seemed to have been prepared. Regardless of whether I would go to the Black Death to assassinate Vice Admiral Ailment, things would eventually come to this point.
