Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1031 Miraculous Resurrection
Seeing Klein, who was emitting cold air all over his body, stop breathing and his heartbeat stopped, and his body collapsed in his arms, Angel's heart ached a little, even though he knew that he would be resurrected in a short time.

Especially since all this was actually caused by her own hands.

Angel gently placed Klein, whose face was pale and whose body was gradually becoming cold and stiff, on the ground. He used the power of ice to further lower the temperature of his body, almost to the point of "freezing". He then picked up the lantern that had fallen beside him and returned to the basement of the mill.

Compared to the first time she came here more than half a year ago, the bloody smell here has completely dissipated, replaced by a foul smell caused by lack of ventilation. Several rats were wandering in the metal pipes connecting the basement and the mill above, but when they approached the basement, they turned into gray-white stones, completely blocking the passages.

After cleaning them, Angel stretched out the hand that was not holding the lamp, and watched his dark red blood seep out from his smooth palm, turning into tiny, gem-like particles that floated in different directions of the basement and fell to the ground, forming complex runes and patterns.

As the blood of these true mythical creatures left the body, even though Angel deliberately restrained his own strength, the mossy stone walls surrounding the basement turned gray and hard due to the leaked power, and the dark green moss died and became part of the stone walls.

This is a Sequence 2 angel. Even a single drop of his blood carries divinity and will cause devastating damage to the surroundings... Looking at the impact of his few drops of blood, Angel sighed and stopped when the rune was about to be drawn. He returned to the ground and brought Klein to the basement, placing him in the center of the rune formation, the same position where he would stand later.

Angel was a little unsure whether it was possible to bring the lifeless bodies to the other side through the place where the power of the "City of Disaster" was leaked. The only example she had was the experience of "traveling" to the catacombs of Trier through the altar of Bansy Port. The body of Miller, the bishop of the Storm Church who was killed by her at that time, also followed her to Trier and was then left in the tomb.

At least the "Man in the Mirror" who knows more than me thinks this method is feasible... She muttered, squeezed out a final drop of blood, carefully avoided Klein's body, and completed the rune on the ground.

As her spiritual power dissipated and surrounded the entire basement, the bloodstains on the ground glowed with a blood-red glow as if they were ignited, illuminating the pitch-black space with an incomparable and eerie look.

Afterwards, the man and the "corpse" disappeared without a trace in the sudden appearance of light.

----

Above the gray fog, Klein opened his eyes.

He could still feel the coldness in his chest, the stiffness in his limbs, and the fatigue of his consciousness in the low temperature, but these illusory perceptions disappeared immediately, leaving only a deep sense of doubt.

"I was reborn in Sefirah Castle?"

He touched his body and looked around, and it took him a long time to confirm that he was in a spirit state, just like every time he held a Tarot meeting, or when he walked four steps backwards to let his spirit rise into the gray mist.

Klein had always thought that this "death" would be just like when he was killed by Ince Zangwill in Tingen City, where he would be resurrected directly from the corpse after a brief loss of consciousness. However, this time was obviously different, and he had gained more "initiative."

"Is it because after I became a demigod, my connection with the source substance of Sefirah Castle has deepened, so I can clearly sense the process of 'spiritual transfer' that I couldn't feel before?"

He muttered to himself, looked around, and pointed at a crimson star that was rippling with light. His gaze immediately shifted to the location of the "believer".

Before the operation began, Klein recited his own honorific name, allowing The Fool to establish a faith connection with him, in order to avoid any accidents. If his spirit was resurrected but his body was missing, he could rely on the prayer light to find clues. Unexpectedly, it would be used in another form now.

Under his condescending gaze, Angel was moving himself, with a pale face and frozen body, into the basement, preparing to "travel through time".

It felt so strange to see his own corpse with his own eyes. This was different from the ritual of "summoning oneself". The latter was just a stiff body, but still alive. But now he was completely dead... Klein looked at Angel with emotion as he carefully placed the corpse in the center of the temporary altar. He suddenly realized that he could now be "resurrected" at any time.

As long as his consciousness is willing, the spirit can return to his body at any time, and some force will obtain his past state when he was still alive from the mist of history, and graft it onto his completely dead body, allowing him to complete his "resurrection".

This is the power of "miracle".

Miracle... Miracle Master?

Klein understood instantly that both times he died and resurrected, including the time he possessed Klein Moretti after traveling through time and space and resurrected the body that had committed suicide, were manifestations of the power of "miracle". This power came from the Sequence 2 "Miracle Master", which he had borrowed in advance.

“According to my previous speculation, there are a total of four chances of resurrection, and this is already the third time… Does this mean that ‘miracles’ are also limited?
"When I become a true 'miracle master', will these resurrections be further restored, or will they remain the same? If it's the latter, then it's too bad. Other miracle masters can revive four times, but I only have one left...

"Of course, compared to those low- and mid-sequence fortune tellers who have no chance of resurrection after death, I am already very lucky."

Thinking of the clown in Tuxedo who died in front of him in Tingen City, and Rosago who died in Backlund after being counterattacked by him and Miss Sharon, Klein couldn't help but curl his lips, feeling ashamed of his greed. Moreover, this made him realize that the advance payment of the resurrection of the "Miracle Master" was obviously not the power of the channel itself, but most likely came from the authority of "Source Castle", otherwise other fortune tellers must have similar power.

What's more, his first resurrection in the true sense was on the night of the blood moon when he had not yet joined the "Night Watchers" and was still an ordinary person. Even if the "Fortune Teller" could advance miracles, it would not be his turn. What if he finally chose the path of "Mystery Peeper" or "Sleepless One"?
"This is what I am most worried about. It seems to be my own choice, but in fact it is all predetermined..."

Thinking of the "Fool" card he drew when he passed by the circus fortune-telling house on the day of his "time travel", thinking of himself calling himself a fool above the gray fog, and thinking of Roselle's diary he read before deciding on the path of the potion, Klein felt that fate seemed to have drawn a seemingly smooth but actually extremely dangerous path for him.

"All the gifts of fate have already been secretly marked with a price, just like now I can only go to the God-forsaken Land and become a 'miracle worker' to return these opportunities for resurrection..."

He complained silently, watching his body disappear in a dark red light, and then reappear in another basement with a clearly different style.

Based on the surrounding environment, he could be sure that "he" had arrived at the God-forsaken land.

Angel, who was holding a lantern, appeared with him. He looked around and his eyes stopped on Klein's body at his feet. He smiled and leaned over, picked up his upper body, and kissed his somewhat cold lips.

"Time to wake up, Sleeping Beauty."

She whispered the names of fairy tales that only she and the other person understood.

It does look a bit like the prince waking up the princess with a kiss... No, it's the princess waking up the prince with a kiss.

Klein also smiled. With a thought, his spirit naturally sank into the gray fog and flew towards the corpse below.

At this moment, another thought involuntarily came to his mind:
Since the gifts of fate have a price, does Angel, who God has given him, also need to pay a price?

----

Angel heaved a sigh of relief as he watched Klein in his arms open his eyes and his gaze gradually focus.

What she was most worried about was that Klein would die completely, or that he would be mutated or contaminated by the power of the City of Disaster. Although this could be solved by praying to Mr. Fool or other gods, or by "resurrecting" again, it was still very dangerous.

Feeling the body in his arms quickly warm up and return to normal from its cold state, Angel put Klein down and let him slowly get up from the ground. He looked around at the rough brick walls, the wide staircase, and the altar-like stone table.

"'Redemption Rose', 'Red Angel', 'Dark Angel', 'Angel of Destiny'..."

Reciting the three ancient and mysterious words engraved on the altar, namely the ancient Hermetic language, the Giant language, and the Dragon language, Klein nodded thoughtfully and looked at Angel.
"Is this the abandoned village in the God-Forsaken Land that you came to when you were looking for ingredients for the 'despair' potion?"

Angel was stunned for a moment, his eyes quickly swept across the altar, and replied:
"Yes, this village looks like a place where giants live. The doors, windows, tables and chairs are all a few sizes larger than those used by humans. However, the architectural layout of the village is very similar to the village on Sorna Island, as if one is original and the other is a replica..."

"This is most likely related to the leakage of the power of the 'City of Disaster'. Under this power, Bansi Port has also restored the ancient bloody sacrifice."

Klein answered casually and took the lantern from Angel. He looked at the little oil inside and thought for a moment. He reached out and grabbed a "Historical Image" lantern that looked exactly the same, but could only last a short time. He extinguished the real one and hung it around his waist. He held the fake one and said to Angel:

"From now on, we need to use the real lights sparingly..."

In the God-forsaken Land, as long as you are in complete darkness, you may be attacked by monsters at any time, or even disappear without a trace, and no one can find your trace. According to the experience of the Silver City, even saints are no exception.

As for whether the angels could survive this strange power, neither Angel nor Klein dared to bet.

With the help of the dim light, the two of them stepped onto the stone stairs leading to the ground, one after the other, and walked into the darkness where lightning flashed from time to time.
