1157 Poise (2/2)

Amon was still sitting leisurely in ”His” spot. ”His” monocle emitted a faint glow as ”He” watched the 101 Kleins summon at the same time.

With his right hands reaching out in an orderly manner before being retracted, none of his hundred marionettes succeeded. He didn't drag Reinette Tinekerr out of the void.

At that moment, Amon raised ”His” right hand and also grabbed ahead of ”Him.”

”His” arm sank slightly, and ”He” casually pulled it back. Outside the half-collapsed building, a huge cloth doll that was as huge as a castle appeared. It was wearing a dark and complicated long dress, bound by vines.

Ancient Bane Reinette Tinekerr!

Amon had stolen the historical image that was summoned by Klein!

Reinette Tinekerr's red eyes immediately reflected the figures of Klein's hundred marionettes.

Without a sound, the marionettes, that were either disguised with Klein's appearance or in the state of a monster, emitted a faint glow, turning into homed mountain goats, white rabbits, and other different animals.

Transformation Curse!

Klein's actual body had long disappeared. Then, he walked out of the flames that rose up from the animal hide lantern. He looked at the various animals that might be considered his and suddenly sat down and chuckled.

Taking a stroll after a meal effectively improves one's health.”

He didn't mention anything about his attempt to escape, as if nothing had happened.

Amon maintained ”His” relaxed posture and nodded cooperatively.

”I've read quite a number of books written by humans. There are indeed such opinions among them.”

With that said, ”He” raised ”His” hand and pointed at the projection of Reinette Tinekerr.

”This is your messenger?”

This was something that could be easily confirmed, so Klein didn't hide it. He tersely acknowledged and nodded.

”What a pity.” Amon sized up Reinette Tinekerr's projection and shook his head with a tsk.

As he felt the food in his stomach disappear, Klein asked, ”What's the matter?”

”I should bring you to Backlund to wait for a few more days. That way, I can wait for your messenger to deliver a letter to you. Then, 'She' will become my messenger.” Amon nudged ”His” monocle on ”His” right eye and said with a smile, ”Snatching an angel messenger. That will be very challenging and fun, isn't it? Life needs some fun, excitement, and anticipation.”

”I share the same thoughts,” Klein replied sincerely.

”What a pity.” The hatted Amon shook ”His” head again. ”Evemight is someone I need to be careful about. If we stayed there any longer, even I wouldn't have any idea what would happen.”

As he spoke, this Angel of Time dispelled the Historical Void projection of Reinette Tinekerr, allowing ”Her” to vanish in front of Klein.

You seem to be very wary of the Goddess?” Klein pretended to be a devout believer of the Evernight Goddess.

Of course, he didn't need to don a disguise. He was still a Blessed of Evernight.

Amon's gaze shifted to the lantern inside the half-collapsed building and looked at the dim yellow light.

”I'm unable to steal things that I'm curious about from a concealed state. I can't decipher what other arrangements 'She' might have and what' the key thing to take note of are.”

To a King of Angels of the Marauder pathway, there was sufficient reason to be apprehensive.

Taking advantage of the opportunity while Amon was answering his question, Klein suddenly recited the honorific name of the Evernight Goddess in Jotun:

You are the Evemight Goddess who stands higher than the cosmos and more eternal than eternity...”

Just as he said that, his thoughts were lost. If he hadn't had such plans previously, he wouldn't have known that he had made such an attempt.

Amon turned to look at him and said with a smile, ”Are you trying to sound me out, believing that I'll also repeat your words after stealing your thoughts and words?

”At Sequence 4 Parasite, one is able to control the stolen items and make them appear at a suitable time.”

”Is that so...” Klein nodded gently. ”Thank you.”

As he spoke, Klein quickly summarized his experience and lessons of his escape attempt.

Because the existence of the contract and their subordinative relationship, summoning Miss Messenger is the easiest amongst all the angels I know.

Summoning the ice-cream from the past Will can establish a subtle connection with ”He” who represents fate, and allow me to be blessed with luck. Yes, every ball of ice-cream represents a portion of my luck... I originally planned on summoning ice-cream as a cover to secretly summon the Snake of Fate.

In the future, the summoning had to be done with a certain degree of interference. Otherwise, Amon would be able to directly steal the Historical Void image I summon. It would only be giving ”Him” a helper after going through so much effort...

Just as his thoughts raced, Amon pointed at the bunch of animals that had been cursed by the Transformation Curse, and he said with a slightly evil smile, ”Aren't you worried that there won't be any suitable food in the Forsaken Land of the Gods? There it is, as long as we don't dispel the curse, they're real animals.”

Klein was stunned as he suddenly looked at the goats and the white rabbits.

With him willing them, the animals looked at him simultaneously.

In a sense, they were all himself. After all, they were combinations of Worms of Spirit and monsters before being hit by the curse.
