Meanwhile, in Klein's living room, the great detective Isengard was seriously injured and unable to fight.
The female detective Kaslana, whose emotions were manipulated by the "Apostle of Desire," unleashed all her power in an attack on Isengard, thus losing her fighting ability.
Only Klein and Mr. Gard remained, and they were clearly no longer able to hold off the "Apostle of Desire".
The "Apostle of Desire" did not waste the situation he had painstakingly created. He immediately went to the living room on the first floor, where a dark figure appeared, like a person shrouded in a black curtain, with only a pair of cold blue eyes exposed.
Upon seeing him, Klein and Odis felt as if they were witnessing the most intense emotions and desires of living beings: fear, anger, greed, jealousy, hunger, lust, and so on.
Odis, who had been keeping quiet and trying to control her thoughts, suddenly stepped forward and quickly took out the grape leaf that she had just obtained, which emitted a pure light.
Upon seeing those blue eyes, Odis's cold expression turned to fear, and she knew that the knowledge she had gained from the "wilderness of knowledge" was accurate.
The object in his hand was very restrained from the "demon".
So Odis, before the "Apostle of Desire" could escape, suddenly raised the grape leaf high and poured the maximum amount of his spirituality into it.
Buzz~
A pure white light instantly spread throughout the living room. This light seemed to have a physical form, causing a soft "buzzing" sound in the ears of Klein and the others.
Odis was bathed in pure white light, which made him look dazzling and divine.
The moment Odis took out the grape leaf, the "Apostle of Desire" collapsed rapidly, turning into a viscous liquid, and turned to run towards the window.
But when pure white light filled the entire living room, the speed of the "Apostle of Desire" seemed to be greatly restricted, and it suddenly slowed down.
The pool of black liquid gradually solidified and transformed back into a human shape.
The black humanoid figure hissed as it struggled to crawl toward the window.
At this moment, a pure white, somewhat ethereal longsword formed in mid-air in the living room.
Under Odis's control, the longsword fell, piercing the vest of the "Apostle of Desire" and pinning him to the ground.
The "Apostle of Desire" roared, sometimes turning into liquid, sometimes into a demon with two ram's horns, covered in complex mystical symbols, and with a pair of wings, and sometimes into a phantom black shadow.
But no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free from the pure white sword.
Odis said with some difficulty to Klein and the others, "Quickly inform the official extraordinary individuals, I can't hold on much longer."
Although the "grape leaf" in his hand could restrain the "demon," it required a lot of spiritual energy to maintain. Odis felt that his own spiritual energy could only last for ten seconds.
Klein and Isengard then came to their senses. Klein quickly placed his hand on the wound on Isengard's back and smeared it, transferring the spinal fracture to a rib.
This is the most amazing and extraordinary ability of the "Magician": damage transfer.
When Klein saw Isengard injured, he had already devised a plan: first, he would pretend to be helpless to make the "Apostle of Desire" appear, then he would transfer Isengard's wounds, so that he, Isengard, and Mr. Garr would be enough to delay the "Apostle of Desire" for a while.
Klein hadn't expected Mr. Garr to be so formidable, managing to hold off the "Apostle of Desire" all by himself.
Almost simultaneously, a vibrant green light appeared on Isengard's ring, and his body was quickly enveloped in a soft glow, causing his wounds to heal rapidly.
This surprised both of them slightly, and they asked almost simultaneously, "You know how to treat?"
They quickly realized that this was not the time to worry about that. When Isengard was attacked, the miniature "telegraph" with the loudspeaker in his hand flew to the wall.
Using the Joker's agility, Klein rolled to the Telegraph Machine, grabbed the sealed artifact, and threw it to Isengard.
The reason he did this was because Isengard hadn't mentioned the negative effects of the "telegraph machine," so he didn't dare use it casually.
Isengard, whose wounds had healed, grabbed the telegraph machine and immediately infused it with spirituality: "He's in Shylock's living room!"
An echo seemed to reverberate around them: "He's in Sherlock's living room..."
Everyone within a five-kilometer radius heard this.
Then Isengard sat down in the corner, the ring on his hand gleaming with golden light, and the great detective's ears suddenly closed on their own.
The downside of this "telegraph machine" is that for a period of time after its use, all sounds within a five-kilometer radius will also enter the user's ears.
Although Isengard simulated extraordinary abilities, he "hypnotized" himself, making himself believe that he was deaf.
But he still heard a commotion: "Go and provide support! In the living room!"
Whose voice was that just now?
"Bread prices have gone up again..."
"Release the seal on 2-115!"
"Honey, we don't have enough money for a holiday to Dipsy this New Year…"
"Third squad, the closest to there, full speed ahead!"
"Who's in Sherlock's living room?"
"Sigh, it's time to pay the child's tuition again..."
"What? Coal briquettes have gone up by another quarter penny? Good heavens, how are we going to get through this winter?"
"..."
The noise made Eisinger struggle to fight his own irritability in order to avoid affecting his condition.
The "Apostle of Desire," struggling on the ground, sensed an opportunity. Two ram horns reappeared on his head, and his body suddenly grew to about three meters in size, covered with mysterious symbols and patterns, with a pair of bat-like wings growing from his back.
Whew~
The ram's horns on the head of the "Apostle of Desire" ignited, resisting the pure white light around it by burning its own potential.
The "grape leaf" is indeed very effective against demons, but Odis, who uses the "grape leaf," is only Sequence 7 and has limited spirituality. At present, he can only trap the "Apostle of Desire" and suppress his own abilities.
This is the limit that Odis can currently achieve.
The "Apostle of Desire," two sequences higher, desperately searched for a "gap" in the pure white light, igniting Isengard's agitated emotions.
The detective's eyes suddenly lost their brilliance. He glanced at "Mr. Garr," who was exerting all his strength, with a somewhat empty look, and raised his right hand, which was adorned with a jeweled ring.
A black light emanated from the gemstone ring, and an evil force attacked Odis's shadow.
This attack is not only aimed at the shadow; if the shadow is injured, Odis, who is caught off guard, will also be severely injured.
Klein, who was standing nearby, noticed all of this and infused his spirituality into the "Sun Brooch," making a gesture of embracing the sun.
Suddenly, a thick beam of light fell between Isengard and Odis, and the evil aura vanished without a trace.
Klein's use of the "Sun Brooch" was tantamount to exposing himself to Isengard, because he had bought this sealed artifact from the "Eye of Wisdom," the great detective Isengard.
But there's no time to worry about that now. Just hold off the "Apostle of Desire" for a few more seconds, just a few more seconds!
As he sat on the ground, Isengard's eyes regained their clarity and wisdom. He seemed to realize what he had just done and quickly took off the ring.
At this moment, Stuart and the others outside saw white light flashing in the living room, followed by sunlight, and heard roars and shouts.
They assumed the attack on the living room was orchestrated by the "mastermind," so they immediately drew their guns and rushed in.
As soon as the door opened, they were all stunned. The living room was bathed in a soft, pure white light, which immediately brought to mind some of the purest and kindest people and things.
Then they saw the person next to the sofa, bathed in holy light, whose mask and black trench coat seemed to have become very sacred.
And that enormous creature struggling on the ground—is that a demon? Goat horns, a pair of wings—yes, those are some legendary demonic figures.
Finally, they saw Sherlock Holmes on guard, the great detective Isengard sitting on the ground, and the female detective Kaslana lying on the ground.
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
Suddenly, two detectives' eyes became unfocused, and they pointed their guns at Odis.
Their surprise was exploited by the "Apostles of Desire" on the ground.
Klein, realizing all this, bent down and flipped a single sofa over, smashing it into the detectives.
The detectives who were not affected by the "Apostle of Desire" quickly moved away, while the two detectives who were affected were blocked from shooting at Odis by the sofa and fell to the ground.
Klein stepped forward and quickly closed the living room door.
At this moment, the pure white light in the living room suddenly dimmed, and the sword embedded in the heart of the "Apostle of Desire" also rapidly shrank.
The next second, Odis collapsed to the ground, her hands trembling as she held the "grape leaf".
His spirituality was almost completely depleted; he was as if he had lost all his strength and didn't want to move a single finger.
Klein rushed over, staring at the "Apostle of Desire," protecting the weakened "Mr. Garr."
The "Apostle of Desire" struggled to his feet, and a pale blue flame, emitting a sulfurous odor, suddenly ignited on his chest.
However, the wound showed no signs of healing and continued to bleed dark red blood with a sulfurous smell.
At the same time, the "Apostle of Desire," in a "demonic" form, has rushed to the window.
Whoosh~
He disregarded his injuries at that moment, smashed open the window, jumped out, and fled the place as fast as he could.
However, the pure white longsword just now greatly weakened the power of the "Apostle of Desire," and he was temporarily unable to transform himself into the "Incarnation of Desire," which is the form of viscous black liquid.
Having no choice but to flee in a "demonic" form, Klein nimbly leaped out of the window, managing to keep up at a respectable distance despite his speed.
After following for only a few steps, Klein saw the demon in front of him suddenly slow down, start snoring, and actually fall asleep standing up.
Klein breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that official support from the Extraordinary had arrived. He stopped the pursuit, watched the battle, and retreated back to his living room.
Bang!
Captain Ikonser, whom Klein had met before, appeared in front of the "Apostle of Desire," firing a pure white bullet from his classic flintlock pistol.
The bullet struck the "Apostle of Desire" in the head, blowing half of his head off.
The intense pain stopped the "Apostle of Desire" from snoring; it trembled violently and struggled as if it were about to wake up at any moment.
At that moment, a middle-aged man in military uniform appeared at the street corner. He raised his hand and said, "Awakening is prohibited here!"
The struggling "Apostle of Desire" lowered its head again and began to snore.
At this moment, more and more official extraordinary individuals arrived, blocking both ends of the street.
Klein breathed a sigh of relief; this time, the "Apostle of Desire" was definitely not going to escape.
Ikonser put away his flintlock pistol and said to his men, "Give me 2-115."
A captain handed Ikonser a pair of golden metal armor gloves, which Ikonser put on with the help of his subordinates.
Then, the senior deacon and captain of the "Mechanical Heart" were surrounded by a light like the dawn.
After a second or two of hesitation, Ikonser suddenly strode forward, raised his hands, and shouted, "Ha!"
A huge, heavy "Sword of Dawn" immediately appeared in his hand, and he slashed fiercely at the "Apostle of Desire".
A profound sense of crisis caused the "Apostle of Desire" to show signs of awakening once again, but the "Night Watchers," high-ranking deacons in the darkness of the streets, were struggling to keep up with him.
The military's "prohibition" on "punishing knights" remains in effect.
So, despite his struggles, the "Apostle of Desire" didn't wake up when the "Sword of Dawn" cleaved his head in two.
Ikonser continued his efforts, completely cleaving the "Apostle of Desire" in two!
Klein turned to Odis and the others and said, "'The Apostle of Desire' is dead."
Odis smiled. With so many people lying in wait outside, it would be truly unjust if he didn't die.
He slowly sat down on the sofa, placed the "grape leaf" into the "spatial magic circle," folded the magic circle, and put it into his pocket.
After doing all this, Odis seemed to have used up all her strength and slumped on the sofa, not wanting to move at all.
Since becoming an extraordinary being, he seems to have never experienced a period of near spiritual exhaustion. Just now, if he had persisted for even one more second, it would have severely affected his state and even caused signs of losing control.
At the same time, through his use of that "grape leaf," he roughly understood that this thing that looked like a magical object was actually a very peculiar spiritual material.
Because "grape leaves" do not possess any extraordinary properties, they can only be used three times. They have already been used once today, and can be used two more times.
Just then, the doorbell rang, and the police came to inform the detectives outside that the "mastermind" had been killed and they could go home safely.
However, since they had just witnessed the battle between Odis and the others, according to their beliefs, the relevant official extraordinary individuals would sign a confidentiality agreement with them.
At the same time, Captain Ikonser appeared at the window: "Thanks to you guys for holding off the 'Apostle of Desire' for so long... Hey, what are you doing here?"
The captain was asking Odis, who was quite surprised to find "Mr. Gar" here.
