1110 "Spirit" Channeling (1/2)
For a moment, the cold night became abnormally scorching hot, as though invisible lava was surging within it.
However, everything quickly returned to normal.
The Red Angel evil spirit sized up Klein and smiled as if nothing had happened.
”I'll say it again. You have talent in being a Provoker.
”Back when Zaratul digested the Bizarro Sorcerer potion, even 'He' didn't dare to pretend to be Amon in front of me.”
There wasn't a hint of anger in his tone. He didn't mention why Zaratul didn't dare to do so, but with his gaze sweeping across Klein, it was as if he had fallen deep inside a glacier, his body freezing in the process.
This was how his actual body felt. Even though he was separated by a marionette, the back of his neck and back still had goosebumps.
Without needing Sauron Einhorn Medici to say anything else, Klein understood the hidden meaning behind his words:
Anyone who dared to use such a method to scare ”Him” would suffer the punishment of steel and blood on the spot!
Looking at the Red Angel evil spirit in front of him who had a converged aura but was giving off a feeling of an extremely high level of superiority, Klein couldn't help but inwardly mutter, If it wasn't for the fact that the Bizarro Sorcerer potion had been digested to a certain extent, I would've thought that your willpower was as strong as steel and that your strength has returned to the level of at least a Sequence 1. And now, I can basically confirm that, under your calm demeanor, you're hiding a strong fear towards Amon. This also means that your current level is at most at Sequence 2...
Besides, I was already mentally prepared to lose a marionette. In order to quickly digest the potion, I had to take the risk...
If Danitz was here and he was given the opportunity to shout out ”coward” twice, he could probably quickly digest the Provoker potion even if he had drunk four or five bottles...
Without further agitating the Red Angel evil spirit, Klein smiled and took off the monocle.
”Back in the Solomon Empire, Zaratul should already be an angel. How would he still need to digest the Bizarro Sorcerer potion?”
”I'm talking about the young Zaratul,” Sauron Einhorn Medici said casually.
This is consistent with the description from the grandpa in Leonard's body... Klein nodded indiscernibly and focused on the main topic at hand.
”You've already finished off the Demoness of White?”
”What do you think?” The Red Angel evil spirit laughed and said, ”Also, one must be polite. Since Katarina calls herself the Saintess of White, then you shouldn't call her a Demoness anymore.”
Polite... A Hunter emphasizing manners with me... At that instant, the corners of Klein's mouth twitched, expressing the ludicrousness of the matter, but he ultimately held back.
From the looks of it, ”provoking” isn't limited to ridiculing and cursing others. Uh, Danitz, who only knows how to curse using one word, is a disgrace to Hunters... As he thought, Klein said, ”I've already fulfilled my promise. I think you don't mind giving me a small reward.”
”Reward?” the Red Angel evil spirit scoffed and asked.
Klein ignored ”His” attitude and continued, ”I wish to communicate with the Demoness of White. I want to ask her something.”
”Just this request?” the Red Angel evil spirit asked in amusement.
Klein nodded.
”That's right.”
”No problem.” Sauron Einhorn Medici raised his right hand and grabbed at his glabella. From there, a blurry figure was pulled out. It was none other than Saintess of White Katarina, whose facial expression was filled with horror.
”Can we have a private conversation?” Seeing this, Klein looked around.
The Red Angel evil spirit immediately laughed and said, ”Do you need a room where the two of you can be together?
Think about it with that brain of yours. Even if you want to hide the questions you would like to raise from me, I can still find out through Katarina's spirit. That is, of course, unless you don't plan on returning her to me? Or are you a little boy who needs things to follow a ritual?”
Klein made the marionette reply with a deadpan expression, ”I have a way to make her forget my questions.”
This was both the truth and a lie. The truth was that he could use Hvin Rambis's Manipulator's Beyonder characteristic to complete the job. However, it was relatively difficult, and the chance of failure was very high. Furthermore, the negative effects weren't minor. The reason why he lied was because he had no intention of doing so. This would expose many important matters. He only had one purpose in saying this: to make the Red Angel evil spirit suspect that the answers obtained weren't the truth and that there were key hidden parts beneath the surface. From that, ”He” would ignore the value of the answers obtained on the surface. This worked wonders on people who were highly suspicious.
Of course, there was no hope of success. After all, the entity opposite him was the Red Angel who was master of ”conspiracies.”
”Not bad.” After Sauron Einhorn Medici heard Klein's reply, ”His” body suddenly vanished, projecting itself onto the glass window.
Klein glanced at the blood that had already coagulated on the gray stones, feeling somewhat wistful as he brought the somewhat muddle-headed Demoness of White Katarina far away from the glass and into a dark alley.
He then took out candles, essential oils, and herbal powders. He set up an altar and prayed to the Evernight Goddess, hoping that he could use ritualistic magic to complete the mediumship.
This was a skill he had mastered when he was still a Nighthawk.
As the ritual was completed, an immense and terrifying power descended from an indescribable height, causing the surroundings to become unusually quiet.
