Mystery: Days and Nights of Struggle with the Research Society

149 - True Guardian

Light!
Light up the darkness!Bring on the warm light!
Klein rushed out of the darkroom door, threw the 'Sun Flame Spell' in the direction of Chanis Gate with all his strength, and threw it towards Ince Zangwill, who was about to escape from the confinement of the black thin line.

Most of his spirituality was poured into the thin gold sheet engraved with mysterious patterns. At this moment, he felt dizzy in his head.

Klein gritted his teeth and stared at the figure wrapped in black thread standing in front of Chanis's door. He saw the anger on Ince Zangwill's face, and he was grabbing the classical quill and trying to put it on the hem of his clothes. The action of writing something on it.

Pfft!Pfft!
In the urn of Saint Selina, the old and bright red heart suddenly beat faster, as if it was about to bloom all its life at this moment.

The next moment, those thin black threads that had weakened suddenly burst out, as if under the command of a certain will, they retracted the other parts of the black threads, quickly gathered together, and tightly entangled Ince Zan. Gwell took 008's hand and pulled it forward forcefully.

Following this movement, the classical quill flew out of Ince Zangwill's hand along with the inertia. As if it had no power of its own to move at all, it was thrown up high without any resistance and landed lightly on Chanis. The ground outside the door was quiet and motionless.

"008!" Ince Zangwill looked at the quill that left him in shock and anger, and gritted his teeth and spit out a few words.

But at this time, 008 was already far away from him, and the power of the Sun Flame Talisman had arrived. He had no time to break free from the shackles of the thin black thread and retrieve 008.

The blazing white light and burning flames reflected in the deep blue and almost black eyes. Ince Zangwill gritted his teeth. His figure was blurred for a moment, but the next moment he was pulled back by those black thin lines, unable to Successfully escaped.

The blazing light belonging to the sun's realm lit up inside the Chanis Gate, falling on Ince Zangwill like a trumpet sun and exploding, almost condensing into a substantial column!

Boom!

"what--"

In the blazing white light, amid Ince Zangwill's screams, Klein closed his eyes, and countless images flashed through his mind.

There was the son of the evil god who was struggling to be born in the firelight, there was Cornley whose body was gradually becoming colder, there was Old Neil who stood in front of him and turned to smile at him one last time, and there was Dunn who smiled and squeezed his left eye at him. ·Smith, there is Lord Sesima who is covered in bruises and turns her head to run away.
Also, he had his heart pierced, the Blackthorn Security Company turned into ruins, and the pair of dark blue and nearly black eyes he saw before his death, with one eye blind but with a mocking gaze.

At this moment, the hypnosis that Klein gave himself was completely lifted. He remembered everything, what Ince Zangwill did before the last restart, and what he and Suya did above the gray fog. Good plan.

Klein opened his eyes, and the corners of his mouth quickly opened up, revealing an unknown smile.

The light drowned everything, and Ince Zangwill's figure was also submerged. In the light, there was a faint sound of flesh being torn apart and his screams.

The internal guard with deep wrinkles and sparse hair took a deep look in the direction of Klein and smiled at him. His expressionless face became more lively under the firelight. He was light blue. His beautiful eyes seemed to be melting like glaciers, with a relieved smile on his face.

Then, he let go of his hands, closed his eyes, and fell backwards silently.

The kerosene lamp fell to the ground, made a dull collision, flashed twice, and went out.

The urn of Saint Selena also fell to the ground, rolled twice, and rolled to a place not far from Klein's feet.

The bright red heart in the urn had stopped beating at some point and turned into a bright spot of light in front of Klein, completely dissipating.

You are a true guardian. Klein took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, as if he wanted to spit out the accumulated sour and painful emotions in his chest.He took a step forward, picked up the box containing Saint Selina's ashes, closed it carefully, and then looked in the direction where Ince Zangwill originally stood.

When he saw the situation there clearly, Klein's expression froze on his face.

The floor in front of Chanis' door was as smooth as ever. There was no change due to the high-level spell just now, and there was no figure of Ince Zangwill. Only a blackened, curled-up arm was left on the spot.

"Ahem, damn!" Not far behind Klein, Ince Zangwill, who had just exchanged places with his spirit, lowered his head and stuffed the blood-stained dagger back into his waist. He covered one shoulder in embarrassment. The original arm there had disappeared, leaving only a black wound.

Ince Zangwill, whose face looked increasingly pale against the background of his dark blond hair, looked at Klein with malicious eyes and suddenly laughed.

"Cline Moretti, it seems that I have underestimated you."

Ince Zangwill glanced at the charred and bright red flesh on his shoulder, and frowned in disgust.The veins in his forehead throbbed, and uncontrollable anger surged in his heart—a little fortune teller, a low-sequence internal watcher who was about to die, actually almost killed him.

If he hadn't been decisive enough to give up one of his arms immediately, that high-level spell from the Sun Realm would really have the power to seriously injure or even kill him.

Ince Zangwill forcibly suppressed his inner anger, walked towards Klein step by step, and threatened:
"Give me the 'Ashes of Saint Selina' and I won't take away your extraordinary characteristics."

As a former archbishop and an extraordinary person who had been in charge of the holy relics of the Church of the Night, Ince Zangwill did not let his anger affect his judgment.He knew very well that even if the fortune teller in front of him was holding the 'Ashes of Saint Selena', he would not be able to use it by sacrificing himself like the internal guardian of the 'Night' pathway.

As for the 'Sun Flame Talisman' as a high-level talisman, it was quite unexpected for a low-sequence Beyonder named Klein Moretti to have one. Moreover, he was an Beyonder who was promoted to Sequence 8 in less than a day, and his spirituality was simply not enough to support him. Use the advanced spell again.

When other Nighthawks were unable to fight and Crestel Sesima failed to rush back, 'Saint Selina's Ashes' was already regarded as his own.But this little Nighthawk, who repeatedly interrupted his plans and caused him to lose an arm, must die.

"Ince Zangwill! You won't succeed." Holding Saint Selina's ashes in his hand, Klein slowly backed away from Ince Zangwill's approach.

what to do?Klein's mind was rapidly thinking of countermeasures.

Ince Zangwill is the 'gatekeeper' of Sequence 5. I am absolutely no match for him when it comes to head-on combat. I have also used up the Sun Flame Talisman. 'Saint Selina's Ashes' is a sacred object, but I am a 'divination' I guess I can't force it to be used.
Am I bound to die today?Klein felt a little bitter.

He knew very well that he was no match for Ince Zangwill, but he was not willing to hand over the 'Ashes of Saint Selena' directly.

Because Klein knew very well that when he had just used a high-level spell from the sun domain to injure Ince Zangwill, and even took one of his arms, Ince would never let him go.

——Even if I really hand over the 'Ashes of Saint Selena' honestly, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape death.Since it's all about death, why should he choose to be obedient?It's better to find a way to delay it, maybe there will be a turn for the better.

Master, I hope the backup plan you mentioned will be useful. Klein sighed inwardly, his free hand tightly holding the revolver in his right pocket, ready to fight back at any time.

"Oh, you don't overestimate your capabilities." Ince Zangwill raised his intact left hand indifferently, letting his arm start from the upper arm, to the forearm, wrist, and knuckles to become blurred and swell. Stretching out, he grabbed hold of Klein from a few steps away.

Ince Zangwill's palm became paler, and Klein felt himself starting to feel dizzy, as if he was caught by something, and a strange feeling of tearing came from his body.

Above his head, a figure floated upward uncontrollably. It was his spirit body that was about to emerge.

Klein struggled subconsciously. He tried his best to fight against the power, but he could only watch his spirit body being pulled away bit by bit at an extremely slow speed.

Since he is a Sequence 5, why is his shot against me, a Sequence 8 Beyonder, so slow?Is there something protecting my spirit body? No, it's more like he is deliberately torturing me in this way. I don't know if it will be useful for me to recite 'Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun' now.
Klein was struggling and thinking wildly. The strange thing was that he didn't feel any fatal danger at this time, as if he was not really in any danger even if his spirit body left his body.

This unfounded premonition was very strange, and Klein could not find the source. However, he did not feel much pain due to Ince's behavior, but he could feel his spirit body leaving his body little by little.

Ince Zangwill looked at Klein indifferently, his dark blue and nearly black eyes showing no fluctuation.

This is the ability to extract other people's spiritual bodies from the air, which he obtained with the help of the underworld creatures in his body. Although it is a bit overkill when used on a low-sequence extraordinary person, there were too many accidents that happened today, and he did not want to add any more complications.

"I want to see who can stop me now?" Ince Zangwill snorted.

He is a Sequence 5 of the Death Path, and he also possesses the powerful sealed object 008. Even if Crestel Sesima comes back at this time, he will not be his opponent.
Wait, 008? !
Ince Zangwill suddenly realized something was wrong. He finally discovered what he had ignored from the beginning.

It's 008, it's 'Alsuhod's pen'!He actually forgot about this quill just now!Why? !

Ince Zangwill turned his head in shock and anger, looking in the direction where 008 had just been thrown from his hand, but he didn't see the shadow of the classical quill, and he couldn't help but frown.

Ince Zangwill knows very well that this quill is not tame. It is always thinking about how to write itself to death, and it was just because it was pulled by the power of 'Ashes of Saint Selena' that it caused 008 to let go. , so Ince Zangwill didn’t realize it for a while——

——But now he has realized that the quill's release just now was probably intentional.

008Why do you do this?Is it going to betray me?It was clearly this quill that actively chose me to be its user. Who does it want to choose now?This little fortune teller?
Ince Zangwill's face darkened. He no longer deliberately pulled Klein's spirit body slowly and playfully, but instead made a clenching motion in an attempt to kill him directly.

Although this ant that caused him to lose an arm is disgusting, his first goal now is to get the ashes of Saint Selina, and then quickly take back 008 and leave here.

At this time, 008, who disappeared into an unknown place after leaving Ince Zangwill's sight, suddenly changed his original hidden intention and levitated from the ground.

It stood between Klein and Ince Zangwill and landed on the ground in front of Chanis' door. The book read:
"Ince Zangwill hopes that Azik, a professor at Tingen University who hides a huge secret, will be held back by members of the Aurora Society and unable to return to his residence in time to support him in facing Megoose and the offspring of the evil god in her belly. Surya Auchinleck, he succeeded."

"But stupid Ince Zangwill never thought that Surya Auchinleck, who was supposed to die from the descent of the 'True Creator', was not only not harmed for some unknown reason, but was also lucky enough to be eliminated. Megoose and the 'Spirit of the Evil God' in her belly. Even before Azik returned to his residence, the 'True Creator' had left."

"Ince Zangwill's plan to use the descendants of the evil god and the possible arrival of the 'True Creator' to eliminate Azik and Surya Auchinleck failed. This man saw the coincidence, but did not reject Ince ·The gods helped by the pen of Zangwill and the kind-hearted Alsuhod did not cause any harm to the creatures in Tingen City for unknown reasons.”

"Azik successfully got rid of the entanglement of the new leader of the Aurora Society's Loen region, Divine Envoy D, and returned to his residence to join Surya Auchinleck."

"The clever Surya Auchinleck easily noticed Ince Zangwill's lame plan. He knew that Ince Zangwill would definitely be in one place at this time, so he decided to contact Azik immediately. Let’s go to the Blackthorn Security Company on Zotland Street for support.”

"Poor Ince Zangwill, guess where they are now?"

When I wrote the last sentence, 008 was floating in the void, leaving only a shallow trace, which quickly dissipated, but both Klein and Ince, who were not far away from it, could see this sentence clearly. Clearly.
