Lord of the Mysteries

Chapter 814

The long sigh that sounded from deep within the cathedral had left the back muscles of Klein and Alger tense as they werepumped with adrenaline.

Without any hesitation, Klein's left glove turned transparent as he vanished, appearing beside The Hanged Man.

As he reached out to grab his shoulder, Senor also picked up the jellyfish-like Beyonder characteristic and, with the help of mirrorleap, returned back to the gold coin inside the iron cigar case.

Right on the heels of that, Klein’s and Alger’s bodies turned incorporeal and invisible, leaving the catacombs silent again.

The two of them were directly teleported into midair a distance away. Their figures came into existence amidst the shadows ofthe clouds and the crimson moonlight.

Subconsciously, Klein and Alger turned their heads in unison to look at the primitive island, wishing to know if any changes wouldhappen to it.

When they heard that sigh, they had relied on their instincts and experience to immediately escape despite not sensing anyactual danger. Now, they couldn’t help but feel curious and puzzled.

In their vision, the thick mist that cloaked the primitive island had quickly dispersed. The moonlight shone straight down withoutanything obstructing it.

Amidst howling winds, Klein and Alger floated in midair as they saw the primitive island’s present state through the sparse mist.It had vanished.

This primitive island that had a demigod feathered serpent and all kinds of Beyonder creatures had vanished!

The region it was in had dark-blue seawater which was almost black was ebbing slightly. Nothing appeared out of the ordinary!

Alger couldn't help but reach his hand into his pocket where he touched the six-winged gargoyle’s core crystal that had left hismind sluggish.

If not for his battle spoils still being in existence, he would’ve suspected if it was all a dream. He wondered if he and GehrmanSparrow had somewhat gotten lost, that they hadn’t found the real primitive island, and ended up completing the exploration intheir dreams.

Klein had similar thoughts as well. He even felt as though he was hallucinating. After all, a giant island with so many powerfulcreatures that hid secrets from mythical times couldn't just vanish without a word. Even the seawater didn’t show anycorresponding signs of its existence.

Thankfully, | didn’t hesitate at all and chose to immediately escape. Otherwise, Mr. Hanged Man and | might really vanish, neverto be found again... Klein suddenly felt a deep sense of joy. He didn’t dare stay any longer as he activated Traveling once againand vanished with Alger as they traversed the spirit world.

And the final scene of this body of water that froze in their eyes was of mist spreading once again with increasing density.

After another Teleportation, Klein and Alger returned to the deserted island. They stood on a reef and watched the waves strikethe shore loudly.

Alger looked around and heaved a silent sigh of relief. He took out the core crystal of the six-winged gargoyle and said, “This is ashared spoil of war. You get to choose first.”

After weighing the matter, he considered the six-winged gargoyle to be a monster that the duo had killed together. As for thethree deceased bodies, they were solely Gehrman Sparrow’s.

Klein didn’t directly respond. He made Senor float beside him as he took out the Tyrant card, the brown soil Beyondercharacteristic, and the jellyfish-like Beyonder characteristic. The latter was suspected to be that of an Ocean Songster’s.

After doing all of this, he said, “One battle. I'll choose first. Thrice.”

He meant that in the battle the duo faced, they had fought three deceased bodies and a six-winged gargoyle. He had contributedgreatly in the entire battle, so the spoils of war received in the tomb belonged to the pool.

Of course, based on the contributions, Gehrman Sparrow had the right to choose first and choose three consecutive times.Alger was taken aback as he gained a new understanding of the crazy adventurer. He then nodded.

“Okay.”

Klein immediately reached his hand towards his marionette and calmly took the Tyrant card with Roselle’s face on it.

“This counts as twice.”

With the Card of Blasphemy, along with the Sea God Scepter, he could barely be considered a fake demigod when taking actionin his Spirit Body state.

This was also very useful when acting as Sea God.

Of course, the greatest value the Tyrant card provided was the High-Sequence potion formulas of the Storm pathway, as well asthe subtle ability to sense the ingredients needed after reaching Sequence 4.

And it was precisely because of this that Klein didn’t wait till they returned to the City of Generosity, Bayam, to split the spoils ofwar. He was afraid that the Tyrant card would directly attract Sea King Jahn Kottman.

It's up to you to say how many times it counts... Alger didn’t retort, nor did he plan on objecting to Gehrman Sparrow’s claim. Hewatched as Gehrman reached for the jellyfish-like Beyonder characteristic which likely corresponded to Ocean Songster.

To Klein, it could be used to create a mystical item in the Storm domain; thus, replacing the Murloc Cufflink that had been takenaway by Admiral Hell. It could also be bestowed to the Rorsted Archipelago’s Resistance in the future to raise their survivabilityat sea. Of course, the condition was that they had greatly pleased Sea God.

Putting away the Tyrant card and the jellyfish-like Beyonder characteristic, Klein glanced at The Hanged Man, indicating that itwas his turn to choose.

Alger deliberated and said, “Can | choose the Sequence 4 potion formula from that Card of Blasphemy?”“No problem.” Klein nodded without much of an expression. “I'll give it to you in the future.”

Although the Tyrant card had been activated, using it was bound to cause quite a stir. Therefore, to be safe, Klein planned onheading above the gray fog to study it after he returned to Backlund.

“Alright.” Even with Alger’s stateliness, he couldn’t help but smile.

After this adventure, once his digestion of the Ocean Songster was almost done, he could showcase his strength and take thepath of being advanced by the Church. When the time came, drinking an additional potion wasn’t a big problem. Even if he didn’tgive birth to a child, just time alone could allow him to resolve the matter completely. The key obstacle was that going fromSequence 5 to Sequence 4 was a qualitative transformation. It was a sublimation of life’s natural order. Countless OceanSongsters in the Church of Storms had worked hard for decades, but they had failed to obtain an opportunity. Alger didn’t believethat he, as a mixed-blood, one who had promoted himself from a servant, would receive any special treatment. He felt that notbeing ostracized was already something to be happy about, a result of his ability to build social ties.

Furthermore, in the Church, the potion was directly given for the advancement to Sequence 4. There was no advancedunderstanding of the formula or its preparation. For Alger to gain an advantage in this intense competition, he had to have otherideas apart from being ranked within the top three in terms of contributions.

His present line of thought was to kill a famous pirate. From him, he could “obtain” the Cataclysmic Interrer’s potion formula.Then, he could let the clues point towards the mutated deceased body in the primitive island. It was likely a powerful pirate whohad once been active at sea before suddenly vanishing.

This way, the upper echelons of the Church of Storms would definitely suspect that this powerful missing pirate had obtained theCard of Blasphemy, and this undeniable reality could be verified via many different means.

Alger could use the advantage of already knowing the Cataclysmic Interrer’s potion formula to obtain a chance to become aSequence 4.

Of course, that’s working on the premise that the Church doesn’t have a Sealed Artifact that can directly wipe out anycorresponding memories... If this method doesn’t work, and there’s no real way to advance, | can only secretly gather thecorresponding ingredients and prepare the required ritual for advancement. Once | become a Sequence 4, I'll immediately leavethe Church and become a Pirate King... Alger reined in his thoughts and watched as Gehrman Sparrow took away the brownsoil-like Beyonder characteristic.

Glancing at the remaining items, he put away the grayish-white translucent crystal and handed the six-winged gargoyle’s eyeballto Gehrman Sparrow.With him not lacking any powerful offensive means, and him being well-rounded when it came to the sea and land, it was rather

useful for him if the Beyonder ingredient could be made into a mystical item.

Back in the tomb, if it wasn’t because he was uncertain if Psychic Piercing could affect the gargoyle, and the battle situationdidn’t allow for any mistakes, he would’ve chosen to first use the Whip of Mind.

After splitting the spoils of war, putting them in different boxes, and sealing them with walls of spirituality, Klein stored awaySenor. Reaching out his hand to grab The Hanged Man, their figures turned faint as they entered the spirit world.

After the Traveling was completed, the two appeared on a mountain beside the sea in the Bayam city outskirts. It was still closeto the cemetery, and it was as though they had never left.novelbin

Alger didn’t harp on the topic as he nodded at Gehrman Sparrow.

“If you need any mystical items created, | shall bear the corresponding costs.

“It's a pleasure working with you.”

Wearing the transparent glove, Klein tersely answered before vanishing.

He left The Hanged Man behind, and he directly teleported himself to a secluded corner in Bayam City.

Next, | need to select a lucky pirate... Klein surveyed his area as he muttered silently and stretched his fingers before walkingout into the street.

Of course, he didn’t forget to change his appearance. He also smeared blood over Leymano’s Travels. After all, there werebounty notices everywhere for Gehrman Sparrow, and Sea King Jahn Kottman remained in this city. If he were recognized or gotlost, things would be nasty.

On the mountainside outside the city, Alger looked up at the dark night where there were the crimson moon and the countlessstars. He slowly inhaled and exhaled, allowing the refreshing and saltiness of the seaside to cleanse his body.

The exploration he had just completed was the most dangerous adventure he had ever had. If not for the Teleportation fromGehrman Sparrow's Creeping Hunger, he doubted that they could escape alive.

However, as Mr. Fool’s Blessed, The World should have other trump cards. For example, those demigod-level Beyonder powersin Leymano’s Travels...

But in that case, we might not have successfully reached the tomb, with us encountering more trouble along the way...

Yes, that Card of Blasphemy of the Storm pathway is the target that made him restrain his madness... Was this was aninstruction from Mr. Fool? “He” had already foreseen it! Perhaps, “He” even knows the existence that produced that sigh fromdeep within the cathedral!

Back then Qilangos might've seen the Tyrant card but had lacked the ability to obtain it. That must be why he said that... Alger’smind churned as he slowly walked to the foot of the mountain.
