Chapter 1245: Help Available Even Without Summoning Help

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The bolts of silver lightning that were as thick as an anaconda struck

the translucent black velvet "curtain." It shook violently as it

distorted.

Taking advantage of this opening, Reinette Tinekerr's figure, which was

reflected on the castle's glass, jumped back into Klein's pocket and

returned to the surface of the gold coin in the iron cigar case.

The prepared Klein raised his right arm and calmly aimed the Staff of

the Stars at the floor tiles in the hall.

A scene surfaced in his mind. It represented one of the Beyonder powers

of a Druid.

The ground beneath his feet instantly softened, turning into a marsh. It

made his body sink like it had fallen into a sea.

Underground Slink!

Boom!

The translucent black velvet "curtain" could no longer withstand the

cleansing from the lightning storm the moment the marsh solidified. It

curled into a ball and fell back into the castle.

No longer restricted, the few thousand thick bolts of lightning rained

down the ancient castle.

A tower collapsed and the hall was left in shambles. One marionette

after another burst into ephemeral illusions under the pricking of such

a lightning strike. They were instantly charred black and reduced to

ashes.

When the silver light that illuminated the entire mountain range

subsided, Dark Demonic Wolf Kotar's castle was in ruins. Many spots were

burning with red flames.

Klein immediately emerged from the bottom of a deep pit and saw that the

demonic wolf, covered in dark and short fur, had performed the same

action.

Relying on the three Druids among "His" marionettes, "He" had

successfully hidden underground to avoid the lightning bombardment.

And at that moment, the independent "kingdom" created by the "curtain"

had completely disintegrated. However, the Dark Demonic Wolf's wish

hadn't completely expired. The return of godhood still needed some time.

Without any hesitation, both parties engaged in another intense battle.

Kotar allowed the crinkled "curtain" to fly up and drape "Him," so as to

prevent the Wraith's possession. After all, there were only three of

"His" marionettes left. Of course, this way, "He" could no longer swap

locations with his marionettes.

At the same time, Reinette Tinekerr left the gold coin in Klein's pocket

and floated towards the eight-legged demonic wolf.

"She" had given up on the idea of possession as "Her" arms suddenly

swelled. A few strands of gray hair grew from the back of "Her" hand,

and "Her" nails became long, sharp, and firm.

Werewolf Transformation!

This doll-like baneful entity became a huge werewolf. "She" kept moving

at high speeds, waving "Her" sharp claws as "She" engaged in an intense

battle with the hill-like Dark Demonic Wolf.

Amidst the clashing sounds, Klein was attacked by Kotar's three

remaining marionettes.

One of them raised his head and roared, causing brown short hair to tear

through his clothes. In an instant, he transformed into a terrifying

giant bear that was twice the height of a person. One crouched down,

pressing his palms against the ground, while the other raised his right

hand and yanked his hair.

At that moment, a crimson flame surged out of Klein's clothes, instantly

devouring him.

His figure appeared in a sea of flames to the side. Then, he jumped out,

raised his staff, and charged straight at the huge brown bear.

And at the spot where he was originally standing, dark green mutated

vines pierced through the ground and grew wildly, stirring the remnant

flames in the middle.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

The huge brown bear didn't back down. With heavy strides, it rushed

towards Klein like a high-speed steam locomotive. It spread open its

arms, trying to give him a "passionate" hug that could crush all his

bones and squeeze all his chest muscles together.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

As his black trench coat flailed to his back, Klein didn't retreat---he

was about to collide with the huge brown bear.

Suddenly, he kicked his left foot and twisted his waist. He forcefully

jumped up and flew past the brown bear diagonally.

Thud!

As the two crossed each other, Klein swung his black staff down and

ruthlessly struck the brown bear's shoulder.

Normally, such an attack wouldn't have been able to hurt the thick hide

of the brown bear. However, with the Staff of the Stars, the physical

attack would lead to random abnormal changes or strange effects.

Of course, under the God of Wishes's suppression, these changes and

effects wouldn't exceed that of a Sequence 4 Beyonder power.

Thud!

As the sound of the staff's strike reverberated, the huge brown bear's

shoulder tore open diagonally from its shoulder. The bottom half of its

torso "teleported" more than ten meters away while the remaining portion

remained in place.

The brown bear's internal organs and blood gushed to the ground in a

rather shocking scene.

However, the brown bear wasn't dead yet. Its two halves were squirming

as it struggled to stabilize his center of mass and continued attacking.

As a marionette, he had long died. Such damage was nothing.

At this moment, Klein had already jumped behind the brown bear, his feet

stepping on the ground.

Another wave of scarlet flames surged out, drowning his figure.

A flame that was about to be extinguished rose up as Klein leaped out

and arrived close to the marionette which had both hands on the ground.

With his silk top hat, he ran past the marionette without turning his

head as he swung the staff to the side.

Thud!

The marionette's body burst into golden flames as his figure instantly

vanished.

A flame surged into the sky as the marionette jumped down. However, the

golden flames didn't extinguish, quickly burning him to ashes.

Without even looking over, Klein had already rushed in front of the

marionette that was yanking his hair.

The marionette immediately threw out the hair in his hand.

These strands of hair began to burn as they emitted black gases,

sounding alarms to Klein's spirituality senses.

Poison!

An unknown poison!

With a creak, he forcefully stopped using his ability as a Clown. Using

the inertia of his body, he extended his black staff.

All sorts of thoughts rapidly reformed in his mind, quickly forming a

scene.

Before this operation, Klein had requested Miss Justice's help to

hypnotize him. It made his brain unable to form scenes when he

subconsciously thought of one. There would only be a single thought

resonating in his mind, and he had to take the initiative to control it

to construct the scene. This allowed him to use the Staff of the Stars

for a long time without being affected by the negative effects. As for

the flaws of thinking in such a manner, Klein felt that it was still

acceptable under predetermined conditions.

Without a sound, the gems embedded in the Staff of the Stars lit up. A

pure white and holy pillar of light descended from the sky, enveloping

the black gas and the corresponding marionette.

The poison quickly melted under the Sun's burning. It was the same with

the marionette.

With a remnant glow still in his eyes, Klein instinctively turned around

and aimed his staff at the brown bear that was split into two.

Silver lightning flashed spontaneously before the separated brown bear's

body finally collapsed, unable to get up again.

In just a few seconds, Klein had finished off the remaining marionettes

of the Dark Demonic Wolf.

After Sefirah Castle's anomaly, be it him or the God of Wishes, time

became abnormally precious. No one was willing to stall for time,

because it wouldn't be long before high-level existences like the True

Creator and Angel of Time Amon in the Forsaken Land of the Gods

descended.

Upon seeing this, Dark Demonic Wolf Kotar trembled violently and flung

out the translucent velvet curtain.

The curtain first vanished into thin air before it suddenly appeared

behind Klein. Just as his spirituality was about to send a warning, it

covered him and wrapped him within it!

Klein's vision immediately darkened as he felt his thoughts turn

sluggish. His Spirit Body Threads were being inoculated onto the

"curtain" one thread at a time.

He attempted using "Flaming Jump," softening his bones, and using the

Staff of the Stars, but he was unable to succeed in such an abnormal

state.

The black velvet curtain became tighter and tighter, revealing the

corresponding marks of his eyes, nose, and mouth, as though it was

squeezing out a brand new "person."

Reinette Tinekerr immediately "jumped" and appeared on the translucent

"curtain," purging it from Klein's body and teleporting elsewhere.

The Dark Demonic Wolf seized the opportunity and raised "His" neck,

letting out a roar.

The "curtain" stood up, as if it had become a cloak draped over an

invisible person's body.

A terrifying suction force was born, causing the Spirit Body Threads of

Reinette Tinekerr and Klein to uncontrollably float over.

If they didn't have the corresponding Beyonder powers, their Spirit Body

Threads would've merged into the "cloak" in just three to four seconds,

while they would become its marionettes.

Fortunately, Klein was a Marionettist himself. He immediately focused

his attention and controlled his and Miss Messenger's Spirit Body

Threads. He followed the method that he learned from Zaratul, allowing

them to circle around him and return to their original positions,

forming loops.

Roar!

The Dark Demonic Wolf spat out a gas ball, sending it flying towards

Klein like a cannonball.

As he was focused on controlling his and Miss Messenger's Spirit Body

Threads, Klein could barely duck. Just as he was about to be struck,

Reinette Tinekerr floated over and stood in front of him.

Boom!

Reinette Tinekerr's blonde hair scattered as the evil vines wrapped

around "Her" body broke apart.

The Dark Demonic Wolf's follow-up actions were one smooth continuous

series of actions. Taking advantage of the moment when the "curtain" was

desperately pulling at its target's Spirit Body Threads, "He" launched

repeated attacks on Klein, forcing Reinette Tinekerr to block them. It

caused the tough Ancient Bane to tremble under the attack of "His"

claws, air blobs, and flaming attacks. More and more wounds appeared,

making it look like "She" could not last any longer.

At this critical moment, as Klein controlled the Spirit Body Threads to

resist the attraction of the "curtain," he reached into his pocket and

took out another iron cigar case.

The seal was removed and the box was opened. Inside, there was also a

gold coin lying quietly. There was also a Wraith on the surface of the

gold coin.

This was a blurry female wraith, a true undying creature, and not a

Wraith from the Mutant pathway.

It was the strongest trump card that Klein had prepared. Previously,

because he was inside the isolated "kingdom" that wasn't connected to

the outside world. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to obtain the

desired effect. Only when the "curtain" targeted him and Miss Messenger

did he feel that the opportunity was here.

As the box was opened, the wraith suddenly jumped onto the surface of a

glass fragment. On it were nearly illusory black tubes that extended

into infinity, connecting to the unknown.

This was the symbol of Artificial Death.

And Artificial Death was equivalent to the Evernight Goddess!

This trump card of his was the reenactment of the time when the

Evernight Goddess had used God of Glory Bladel's corpse to foil Amon's

attempt to snatch Sefirah Castle.

For this, he deliberately found a wraith-like monster in the Forsaken

Land of the Gods and imprisoned it, placing it together with the

Artificial Death project's white feathers he summoned from the fog of

history.

Through his repeated experiments and prayers during his specific trips

to Backlund, this Wraith had finally established a certain connection

with Artificial Death, allowing the Evernight Goddess to use this

opportunity to exert a rather low level of influence!
