Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 735 The Power of Death

"Calderon City..."

Looking at the letter sent by Klein, Angel fell into deep thought.

She remembered that the other party had mentioned this place before leaving for the southern continent. This city, which was likely located deep in the spiritual world, contained one of the main ingredients for the "Weird Mage" potion. If Klein wanted to advance to Sequence 4, he would have to go there once, or even several times.

Just like I look for the gazer... Angel chuckled, burned the letter, and stood up from the sofa in the bedroom.

After ringing the bell, the personal maid Elsa quickly came to the bedroom. Angel asked her to convey a message to the butler Ribark who was resting downstairs, saying that he would rest at home tomorrow and asked him to cancel all his appointments. Then he changed into casual clothes, took all the magical items and equipment, went into the mirror world, and headed south.

To go directly from the North Continent to the South Continent, in addition to the passenger ships that take as short as 3 days or as long as 7 days, Klein can also use the travelers herded by "Creeping Hunger" to pick up people, or smear Angel's blood on the cover of "Groselle's Travels" to enter the world in the book and then come out. Finally, use the "Mirror World" to cross the entire ocean.

There was no urgency in Klein's letter, so he didn't "teleport" back to Backlund right away. Angel didn't want to frequently use the travel book of unknown origin, so the only way left was the travel plan of the "witches".

According to Angel's previous experience of going to Bayam, it would take about 2 hours to reach the north bank of East Balam, but now that most of the "Despair" potion has been digested and he has become more proficient in the ability to travel through the mirror, it only takes about half an hour.

If one could advance to Sequence 3, or even become an angel or a "disaster" witch, could this mirror world travel be further accelerated, allowing one to reach all parts of the world in a nearly instantaneous manner?

While Angel was daydreaming, she shuttled through different mirror passages. The dark and illusory environment around her kept changing, and soon it turned from land to ocean. The number of passages she could pass through also decreased, but their width increased dramatically.

The entire ocean has become a "mirror", but it is not stable enough to use it to return to reality...

Passing across the "sea" of the mirror world, Angel constantly used divination to correct his direction, avoiding fragile areas that partially overlapped with the real world or the spiritual world. He passed by one island after another, and one ship after another that was still sailing at night, until a familiar island appeared before his eyes.

Zhongcheng Island is a must-pass place for the north-south continental shipping route. Further ahead is the violent sea where storms rage all year round... Angel looked out through the mirror and found that there were dark clouds in the night sky. From time to time, flashes of lightning flashed in the distance. It seemed that strong winds and heavy rains would come at any time.

Fortunately, I am in the mirror world, and these have nothing to do with me... As soon as this thought popped up in his mind, Angel felt a flash before his eyes, and he crawled out of the mirror passage that suddenly appeared in front of him and came to the spiritual world.

This is a rare accident when traveling through the "mirror world", but it happens every once in a while.

After Angel mastered the art of traveling through the mirror, he was able to avoid most of the unpredictable passages. However, near the Raging Sea, the spiritual world was also polluted by the residual power of death. The barrier between it and the real world was weakened, making it easy for the mirror world and the spiritual world to overlap. Various new mirror passages appeared, intersecting with the normal passages, and then gradually dissipated due to their inability to maintain themselves. Angel happened to break into such a passage leading to the spiritual world.

After her suspension in the spiritual world stabilized, a hellish scene appeared before her.

The air currents of the spirit world swirled into a hurricane, roaring and covering the large area within her sight. Black lightning flashed across it one after another, and dim light flickered in the dark clouds. The common creatures in the spirit world simply could not survive in such an environment and had fled long ago, leaving the place in chaos, disorder, and deathly silence.

But the sharp-eyed Angel still discovered the passage in the spiritual world that avoided hurricanes and lightning. It meandered from the coast to the south.

Overlapping with the safe waterway in the real world, that was one of the greatest legacies that Emperor Roselle left to the world... It turned out that this waterway was not only important for the sea, but also for the spirit world. Otherwise, the High-Sequence Beyonders would have been able to cross the Raging Sea and head to the Southern Continent long before he appeared...

Angel no longer stayed in the spirit world of the raging sea, but went back into the "mirror world", found a safe path in the dim passage, and continued to travel south.

She noticed that there were also narrow passages at the corresponding positions where the "safe passages" of the mirror world and the spiritual world overlapped. This meant that as long as one knew the location of the safe passage on the nautical chart, one could avoid the natural disasters of the spiritual world and the fragile passages of the "mirror world" and travel safely to the southern continent.

Emperor Roselle, every witch owes you a favor... Angel muttered as he quickly passed through the area to avoid accidentally returning to the spirit world and facing the terrifying hurricane and thunder.

……

In the city of Gurain, after mailing the letter to Angel, Klein, who was not yet sleepy, was sitting in a comfortable recliner, looking out the window at the night scene that was different from that of the Northern Continent.

The crimson moonlight is more intense and the color is a little different. This can't be the influence of the "original moon" or the "mother tree of desire". I hope I won't be discovered by the "Rose School" here. Their power in Balam is different from that of the countries in the northern continent. They can really send angels to encircle and suppress me...

Klein muttered to himself as he manipulated the secret puppet Enzo standing beside him to hand him a cup of local black tea. He took a sip before remembering that he had to go to bed later, so he put it down with regret.

Why not order room service and have some southern continent specialties as a midnight snack... As soon as this thought came to his mind, his spirit sent a faint reminder, directing him to look in the direction of the bedroom. The half-length mirror there was flickering faintly, and a figure that Klein was very familiar with appeared next to it.

How did she get here? She came directly from the mirror world across the entire ocean to East Balam thousands of kilometers away?
Klein was shocked at first, but then he was filled with joy from the bottom of his heart. He slowly stood up from his chair. Enzo beside him went straight to Angel who had just walked out of the bedroom and took the cloak from her hand, like a well-trained servant.

"It's just that the expression on his face is still a little stiff. Well, mainly compared to your expression..."

Angel looked at Klein, who was smiling brightly, and the "secret doll" who had a natural expression beside him, and made a comment.

Then, she saw the mixed-race man with a high nose bridge, black hair, blue eyes and dark skin also showed the same bright smile.

Knowing that he was a secret doll, it felt even more terrifying... Angel quickly looked away, walked closer to Klein, and hugged him. Just as he was about to let go, he was held tightly by him, and heard a whisper in his ear:

"Is it dangerous on the road? Didn't you say that long-distance travel using the Mirror World is prone to accidents?"

So that's what you're worried about... Angel gently broke free from Klein's embrace, then hugged him back helplessly in his slightly lost eyes, and said:
"Except for accidentally entering the spirit world of the violent sea and witnessing the power of the god of death, everything went smoothly."

As she spoke, she looked curiously at the secret doll who was standing aside with his head down and keeping silent.

"How come your secret doll has become shy? Or do you not want to see our actions from a third person's perspective?"

"No, he just..."

This question made Klein hesitate. He returned to his chair and sat down. He instructed Enzo to pour a cup of black tea with lemon slices for the two of them. After thinking for a moment, he said:
"As the 'winner' of the monster path, he can see the 'specialness' in me and be hurt, so I can only command him to avoid me or simply close his eyes. So he is not suitable for fierce battles, especially those that I have to participate in personally."

Peculiarity... Angel's eyes suddenly widened:
"Then let him see mine?"

"I've tried it before, just when you got here..." Klein smiled helplessly, calming Angel's suddenly high spirits. "I suspect that my uniqueness has something to do with 'fate'. Do you remember the 'good luck' revolver that brings misfortune to those around you? As long as you get close to me, it will no longer work... This is also the reason why 'winner' Enzo did not avoid me because of luck and became my secret puppet."

He also told Angel about the tragic experience of how this "loser" was chased by the Nighthawks and ran around the city of Gurain, and ended up bumping into Klein, who was waiting according to the divination results, and turned into a secret doll on the spot.

"And I suspect that Backlund's 'Snake of Fate' has also noticed this peculiarity in me. Of course, he has a higher sequence, so he might be able to isolate himself from this kind of damage."

Finally, Klein added.

The Serpent of Fate and the "Monster" Path that relies on fate as a senior extraordinary ability can see the peculiarity of Klein, but what about me... Katarina showed some interest in me, but she saw my "Disaster" spell, not me... Angel thought, opened his spiritual vision, and looked at Klein's face that he had carefully examined countless times, but found nothing.

Feeling her disappointment, Klein quickly changed the subject to a lighter one:

"I have obtained the coordinates of Calderon City in the spirit world from the commissioned 'Magician' lady. I have contacted Arrodes and used a spiritual ritual to ask 'Red Light' Elmoria. I have confirmed that the danger level of the outskirts of Calderon City, where the 'Spirit World Predator' is located, is acceptable. That is why I contacted you and plan to explore there together."

"The risk is acceptable. Is that relative to a demigod or a Sequence 5?"

Angel asked curiously.

"Sequence 5," Klein replied immediately. "Based on our experience in hunting the Gazer, the strength of the creature that provides the main material of Sequence 4 should be between Sequence 4 and Sequence 5. It has some Sequence 4 abilities, but does not have divinity... The only problem is the special nature of Calderon City itself. It is the earthly kingdom of the ancient god Graygari, the oldest god of death. It should be easier for spirits or spiritual creatures to enter there..."

Angel nodded continuously while listening to Klein's narration. Suddenly, he realized something and asked:
"So, you contacted other more suitable candidates?"

Under her scrutiny, Klein pursed his lips and nodded:
"Mr. Azik, the messenger Renette, and Miss Sharon who may have been promoted to a demigod... I sent the letters to them all, but you are the first one!"

Seeing his decisive answer, Angel also put aside his dissatisfaction, crossed his hands in front of his chest, leaned on the sofa and said:
"Then tell me about your plan."
