The war taking place at this time on the northern border of Remnburg was a pure charge launched by the "Extraordinary Legion." The "Spirit Wave Cannons," located over thirty kilometers away, relentlessly bombarded the positions. The demigod Intis remained behind to defend them.
They frantically tried to stop a large number of shells.
Three demigods returned ahead of time to provide reinforcements, which finally stopped the bombing of Remburg.
However, the ground forces, mainly composed of "Extraordinary Puppet" and tanks, launched an offensive under the bombardment of "Spirit Wave Cannon".
Those demigods had to constantly block the bombardment of the "Spirit Wave Cannon," so only Intis's elite troops could handle it.
A small number of extraordinary individuals resisted the attacks of these "extraordinary legions".
On a vast battlefield, highly mobile tanks were the first to launch an attack.
The machine guns on the Intis positions couldn't penetrate the tanks' armor at all. They could only watch helplessly as the tanks charged into their positions and then mowed them down with their machine guns, reaping the lives of the Intis soldiers.
In the previous battles against Fennepot and Fussack, although tanks were used extensively, it was a mobile warfare tactic that did not highlight the tanks' ability to penetrate enemy defenses!
In fact, after the advent of tanks, the role of positions was not as important as before, especially under the charge of tank groups, the Intis army, which lacked anti-tank weapons, found it difficult to hold its positions.
After the tanks stormed into the position, the "extraordinary puppet" soldiers followed closely behind, setting up machine guns on Intis's position and relentlessly suppressing the enemy's artillery positions, while also keeping the Intis soldiers in the trenches from looking up.
The machine guns were too powerful, and even Intis's extraordinary beings couldn't do anything about it for the time being.
Seeing that the position was about to be breached, the commander of the Intis army gave the Extraordinary who were returning to reinforce the position an order to "return to reinforce at all costs".
If this line of elite troops from Intis's ten divisions is breached, the ordinary soldiers of the ten divisions behind it will be in danger.
These ten divisions, in fact, were no longer of much significance in the battle to attack Remburg.
The reason they haven't been withdrawn is to intimidate the local highland people and to eliminate bandits.
The area in the central highlands of Rune, which Intis has just occupied, is currently not safe.
The plateau people who previously lived here had formed a relatively solid mutually beneficial relationship with the Rune people, so the central plateau is much more peaceful now than it was hundreds of years ago.
The balance was broken after the Intis drove out the Runes.
The key issue is that Intis is currently at war and doesn't have enough financial resources to buy off these highlanders.
As a result, the security situation in this area suddenly deteriorated, and supplies for the front lines had to be transported from here, making it a very important supply line.
Therefore, the main role of these ten divisions is now to deal with the local highland people.
If the "extraordinary troops" of Remenberg were not stopped at the border and allowed to cross the lines, the ordinary soldiers of those ten divisions would be no match for them.
If the railway transporting supplies is bombed, it will definitely affect the battlefield during the siege of Backlund.
However, the commander of the Intis army probably did not expect that the "Red Angel" evil spirit was waiting for the order for the other side to return to the aid at all costs.
Once such an order is given, most of the demigods and Sequence 5 members of the returning Extraordinary forces will be the first to break away from the ranks and provide support at the fastest speed.
For saints, even if they don't have the ability or sealing artifact to enter the spirit world, they can reach a distance of over 100 kilometers in just two or three minutes.
At the same time, most Sequence 5 and Sequence 6 individuals will also use their abilities to travel as quickly as possible, and their speed will be much faster than that of lower-level extraordinary individuals.
Under the observation of the Remnburg reconnaissance aircraft, Intis's extraordinary main force suddenly stretched out and quickly split into several square formations.
The evil spirit "Red Angel" immediately ordered the "Extraordinary Legion," which was fiercely attacking Intis's position, to retreat immediately.
Even a slight delay in evacuation could result in enormous losses.
Meanwhile, the main force of the Remnant Extraordinary, which had previously completed the ambush mission, immediately took action, guided by reconnaissance aircraft.
They blocked and attacked a portion of the extraordinary ones who were helping Intis.
Thus, another extraordinary war broke out, and the extraordinary ones in Remnburg still had a significant advantage.
Upon returning to Lim Province, the demigods and Sequence 5 Beyonders learned that the Beyonders' rear party, who had not yet left Olay Province, had been attacked again by the Beyonders of Lenburg.
They then realized Lenburg's tactics: if they went to support Olay Province, the positions in Lim Province would be attacked; if they rushed back to Lim Province to defend their positions, the Extraordinary Ones still in Olay Province would be attacked.
During this time, the demigods of Intis also destroyed several reconnaissance planes from Kölenberg, but it was useless, as new reconnaissance planes would arrive to replace them every half minute. By then, the demigods had already left, but the extraordinary beings below the demigod level had not gone far, so the main force of Intis' extraordinary beings was still under surveillance.
It was precisely because of this close monitoring that the "Red Angel" evil spirit was fully aware of the movements of Intis's extraordinary power, which enabled it to carry out such precise operations.
After discussing tactics, the Intis army's high command decided to send a portion of its forces back to reinforce the area.
But just like last time, the demigods who went back to provide support were attacked by extraordinary rocket launchers as soon as they set off.
This time, those demigods simply ignored the extraordinary missiles. Since only demigods would be providing support this time, there was no need to protect extraordinary individuals below the demigod level.
Moreover, since the border between the two countries is mostly hilly or plateau terrain, it is basically desert with few people, so let the extraordinary rockets bomb it.
They arrived at the location of the attack on the extraordinary beings in just a few minutes, although they suffered some losses.
However, the Remnant-Borges had already withdrawn.
With the help and protection of the demigods, the extraordinary beings, who had previously been divided into several formations, began to regroup and head back.
But they hadn't gone far when they discovered that the "extraordinary rockets" they had ignored earlier, which had landed on the ground, had completely frozen their way back.
The temperature in that area was tens of degrees below zero, and everyone was generally wearing summer clothes. Ordinary extraordinary individuals would definitely suffer from frostbite.
There was no other way but to take a detour.
Just then, rockets were launched at their main force again, and the demigods could only try their best to block these extraordinary rockets.
While taking detours and blocking extraordinary rockets, it took them more than an hour to cover dozens of kilometers.
For ordinary soldiers, this speed is already very fast. In fact, they can hardly even reach this speed.
But for extraordinary individuals, this is already very slow.
When they returned, they were somewhat dumbfounded, because the positions in Lim province had been attacked by the demigods of Lenburg and were almost completely destroyed.
Remburg's tactics changed again. Taking advantage of Intis's demigods being tied down, several Remburg demigods led the "Extraordinary Legion" to attack the position.
The demigods left behind in Intis must not only block the enemy's "spirit wave cannon" bombardment, but also fight against the demigods of Lenburg.
Immediately, the "Extraordinary Puppet" soldiers set up "Spirit Wave Cannons" on the Intis position and bombarded the railway dozens of kilometers away. The angels of Intis intervened in time and prevented the railway from being destroyed.
Immediately afterwards, a battle at the angelic level broke out on the battlefield, with each side deploying two angels.
However, it was clear that the Lenburg army's main target was the demigods of Intis. They concentrated their relatively superior demigod level power, each carrying a sealed artifact, and killed two demigods of Intis.
The Intis army had no choice but to withdraw from the position. The Lenburg army destroyed the trenches on the position and systematically damaged some churches on the position before retreating.
At this point, the main force of the Intis Extraordinary finally withdrew, only to find the position severely damaged.
The extraordinary individuals were somewhat helpless. They had been rushing to rescue people 100 kilometers away since early this morning, then returning to provide assistance, and then returning again.
After a busy half-day, the position was lost, and the Extraordinary Ones suffered heavy losses. A quick count revealed that Sequence 9...
Forty percent of the extraordinary individuals at Sequence 5 level were gone. Of course, not all of them died; many were scattered and were able to rejoin the group in the following days.
However, the overall loss is only about 30%.
After that, the Intis army had no choice but to quietly rebuild their positions and obediently defend them, not daring to go anywhere else.
Although the Feneport and Fussack armies had repeatedly set bad examples for them, they were still somewhat bewildered when they encountered the Red Angels' flexible and unpredictable tactics for the first time.
After an afternoon of discussions between the Ministry of Defense in Intis and the frontline military leadership, they realized that their greatest advantage lay in the Extraordinary Ones.
Despite losing two demigods and 30% of their extraordinary beings, Intis's side still holds the advantage.
It was only then that they realized they should make the most of this advantage, so they decided to launch a surprise attack on Remburg at night.
To cover up the sneak attack, a "weather wizard" was hired to create a "fog of war".
So, in the fog, they crept quietly into Remburg's camp, only to find it deserted, with only some "extraordinary rocket launcher" shells in the tents.
If they looked closely, they would notice that these cannonballs were different from the ice and snow cannonballs fired during the day. The runes engraved on their surfaces were not the original symbols representing ice and frost, but symbols representing thunder.
Even without noticing this small difference, the commander of this raid realized that he had been tricked again, so he quickly retreated.
Suddenly, thick bolts of lightning shot out from each of the tents in the camp. These lightning bolts were menacing, and the entire camp was instantly transformed into a silvery-white sea.
It's important to know that the blast radius of a single rocket is between tens and hundreds of meters. With so many tents, and more than one rocket inside, the resulting thunderous effect was truly awe-inspiring.
Many extraordinary individuals were electrocuted and turned into charred remains before they even had a chance to scream.
Even the extraordinary beings protected by demigods felt numb all over their bodies and almost lost their ability to fight.
After the intense lightning subsided, the attacks from the Remnant Beyonders began, and a battle immediately ensued.
Intis's extraordinary main force retreated very wolfishly.
Fortunately, the Remnant Extraordinary slowed down after chasing for a distance and began to follow behind.
At first, Intis's commander thought that the other side was afraid to fight them head-on.
But when they retreated to their positions, they were met with "extraordinary machine guns" and "extraordinary machine guns" on the positions.
Moreover, the timing of the enemy's gun and cannon fire was very tricky. They would only fire after entering the firing range to a certain distance, so even if they wanted to run, they would have to get out of the firing range of the machine guns and cannons first.
It turns out that while the enemy was launching a sneak attack under the cover of fog, the "Red Angel" evil spirit also sent people to launch a sneak attack on Intis's position under the cover of fog.
When the Extraordinary Ones of Intis returned, they were greeted with cannonballs and bullets.
At this moment, the Extraordinary Ones of Lenburg attacked from the rear, and the Extraordinary Ones of Intis were suddenly caught in a pincer movement. They had no choice but to bypass the lines and return to Intis territory.
During this process, many of Intis's extraordinary beings were unfortunately shot, hit by cannon fire, or injured in attacks by Remburg's extraordinary beings.
After finally escaping the Lenburg army's attack, they discovered that only half of the extraordinary beings who had gone to launch the raid had returned.
Fortunately, they were extraordinary individuals; if they were ordinary soldiers, few of them would have returned.
Then the balance of extraordinary power between the two sides reversed, with the Lenburg extraordinary gaining the upper hand, while the Intis extraordinary cowered in their positions, not daring to move an inch.
The very next day, Remburg launched a major offensive against the province of Ole in Intis.
This attack was a joint operation between the Extraordinary Ones and the "Extraordinary Legion," which not only captured Intis's military camp and government, but also drove out the missionaries of the Church of the Eternal Sun and the Church of the God of Steam and Machines, and attacked their Extraordinary Ones.
This is different from the attack on the Snason region of Feneport, where Odis had already reached an agreement with the Church of the Earth Mother, so the people of the Church of the Earth Mother voluntarily withdrew.
The situation in Olay Province is different. The Church of the Eternal Sun and the Church of Steam have already clashed with the official Extraordinaries of Lenburg. A large portion of the Extraordinaries of Intis who fought against Lenburg Extraordinaries yesterday were members of the two churches.
At this time, they were working closely with the official extraordinary beings of Intis, and after jointly electing a commander,
There is then a unified command.
Among the Intis army attacking Backlund, there were also a large number of Extraordinary beings from two churches. Therefore, these two churches now have very few Extraordinary beings remaining in their less important chapels.
Under the command of the evil spirit "Red Angel," the entire province of Olay was occupied in just two days.
Intis's side did not put up any decent resistance. The ten divisions they left in Lim province were no match for the "Extraordinary Legion," and the Extraordinary soldiers who stayed behind were too scared after being beaten in the previous two days to provide any support.
Angels from both churches appeared in the province of Olay one after the other, but angels were also dispatched from the Remburg side. The two sides only had a brief standoff and no battle broke out.
At this time, Intis's main objective was still Backlund, and they were temporarily unable to concentrate enough extraordinary forces to retake the province of Olay.
Soon after, missionaries from the Church of Mother Earth entered the province of Olay and began to spread their faith by healing the locals and treating their injuries. They quickly gained a group of believers.
At this point, Odis had essentially achieved his strategic objectives on the northern continent.
Backlund.
Emlyn, who had just stepped off the carriage, overheard a newsboy on the street shouting: "Extra! Extra! Lenburg defeats Intis and is poised to cut off Intis's supply lines."
Although Emlyn already knew some of the inside story about the war, he still bought a newspaper and glanced at the front page. Emlyn couldn't help but shake his head because the report had obvious fabrications. The Lenburg army hadn't killed many of Intis's ordinary soldiers, but had eliminated quite a few of their extraordinary beings.
Folding up the newspaper, Emlyn hurried to Garr's Herbalist's Shop and met Rupert, the second mate of "The Sword of Dawn," in the shop's backyard.
Rupert asked, somewhat puzzled, "Mr. White, what brings you here today?"
"I would like to know Remburg's purpose in occupying the province of Intisolé," Emlin said with a smile. "Is it intended for long-term occupation, or to return it to Intisolé after the war?"
The vampires are eager to know if Lenburg is about to launch a full-scale war against Intis.
Therefore, the vampire marquis sent Emlyn to investigate Lenburg's strategic objectives.
After cooperating with the extraordinary beings of Lenburg once, the vampires gained a deeper understanding of Lenburg's strength. They believed that if a full-scale war broke out, Lenburg's extraordinary power would be enough to influence the current battle situation.
Therefore, the vampires are considering a deeper cooperation with Lenburg in order to gain enough benefits from this war, and ideally, also obtain a dukedom from Lenburg.
But of course, this kind of question couldn't be asked too directly, so Emlyn decided to start by talking about the war that had just ended.
Rupert asked Emlyn to sit down, and then had a waiter bring him tea.
He then said, "As far as I know, they intend to possess it long-term."
Then Rupert smiled and said, "I heard that the Church of Mother Earth has already begun missionary work there."
His implication was that from now on, that place would be more welcoming to vampires, but they should be prepared to become servants or bishops of the Church of the Earth Mother.
Emlyn also heard about this and asked, "Is this a deal between President Gar and the Church of Mother Earth?"
He vaguely remembered that "The Hermit" Odis Gar had mentioned this matter at the Tarot meeting, and the vampires also had similar speculations, but he still needed to confirm it.
"It should be," Rupert said vaguely. "Although Lenburg has defeated Feneport's army many times, it has never clashed with the Church of Mother Earth."
This actually indicates that there is some secret cooperation between the two, otherwise it would be impossible for them to have a conflict with the Church of Mother Earth while they are at war with Feneport.
It wasn't just the vampires who had this suspicion; many other extraordinary organizations, such as the Church of the God of War, were also puzzled as to why the Church of the Earth Mother would tolerate Lenburg's occupation of the Snason region of Fenneport.
It wasn't until now, when the Church of Mother Earth began missionary work in the much larger and more populous province of Ole in Bisnason, that people realized what was happening.
Emlin then asked, "Will Lenburg continue its attacks on the Republic of Intis?"
Rupert said "Oh": "The vampires want to know if Lenburg is going to start a full-scale war with Intis?"
Emlyn was taken aback. He felt he had concealed himself very well, so how did the other party notice?
Then, with a hint of admiration, he said, "Are all intelligence workers like this, so good at analyzing other people's true intentions?"
This time it was Rupert's turn to be stunned. Was it that hard to guess?
However, the two sides had already had several contacts before, and Rupert knew a bit about Emlyn, so he smiled and said, "It's alright, it's alright."
He then changed the subject, saying, "President Ship has stated many times that the vampires are important allies of Lenburg."
Therefore, I can reveal some of our strategic intentions to you.
"We do not plan to engage in a full-scale war with Intis in the near future, because Remburg has just occupied a large amount of territory."
It needs some time to process.
Emlyn nodded. "I understand."
Somewhere in the land forsaken by God.
On the desolate land, a man carrying a lantern was walking slowly.
Just as they were walking along, the figure and the lantern suddenly disappeared.
That was Klein's "historical projection." The moment the projection disappeared, Klein's true form, which had been hiding in the "historical rift," returned to the real world.
He took out his pocket watch and glanced at it, just like Odis. In fact, extraordinary individuals at this level don't need to look at pocket watches at all; their spirituality can accurately tell the exact time.
They looked at their pocket watches, but deliberately retained some of their old habits.
After observing that there was no danger in the surroundings, Klein reached out and pulled his "historical projection" out of the "historical fog" again, and then his main body hid in the "historical rift".
Then, the "historical projection," which had previously looked dull, suddenly had bright eyes, and he prayed in ancient Hermetic: "The essence of knowledge, the field of mystery."
You are the radiance of all civilization;
It is a beacon of truth that dispels the unknown.
"Great Lord of Mysteries, please send your favorite, Odis Gar, to my side to help me complete my next task."
He had arranged with Odis to hunt the Dark Wolf today.
Odis had also told Klein in advance that once he could find the trail of the Dark Wolf, he only needed to recite the name of the "Lord of Mysteries" and make the corresponding request, and the Lord would appear by Klein's side.
At this point, Odis had already appeared in the "Wilderness of Knowledge" in the form of a mythical creature.
He had previously tried to appear in the "Knowledge Wilderness" as a mythical creature if he opened up his access to the "Knowledge Wilderness".
Then, as long as a mystical passage is established, one can follow that mystical passage and appear at the other end of the passage, which is the other end in the real world.
This ability sounds impressive, but it's actually a bit useless in the real world because Suzaku is very fast and can even fly across the north and south continents in a minute.
If everything goes smoothly, the process of descending through the "Knowledge Wilderness" will take a minute or two, so it's better to take the Vermilion Bird to your destination.
At this moment, the "Wilderness of Knowledge" received Klein's prayer, and immediately established and expanded the mystical passage between the "Wilderness of Knowledge" and the magical land. Then, it made its entire information flow long and flat, and gradually entered the passage.
Odis could sense that there was some resistance when using the "wilderness of knowledge" to descend to the land of the forsaken gods, but he did not feel such resistance when he descended into the real world.
However, even with some resistance, the process of descending was relatively smooth. Odis gathered in the land abandoned by the gods and, without noticing any danger around him, broke free from his mythical creature state.
He glanced at Klein in front of him, then sighed in relief: "It feels like I was squeezed in like toothpaste; the barrier between the Forsaken Land and the outside world is incredibly high."
Klein paused for a moment, then said, "Yes."
Actually, he didn't feel that way. He never thought anything of it when he brought "Little Sun" Derek into the Tarot Club.
Moreover, it was Amon's clone who brought him into the Land of Forsaken Gods, and he didn't know whether the seal was of a very high rank.
Odis glanced around and saw a vast desert. There were some strange monsters in the desert. Most of them looked like leafless plants, while others looked like common animals, but some details were different. In the distance, there were humanoid monsters running quickly.
He remarked, "This place is truly desolate."
Only then did Odis realize that the person in front of him was a projection: "The 'Ancient Scholar' is quite capable."
Even angels in battle would find it difficult to immediately determine which one was the true form of the "Ancient Scholar".
Because they not only have "historical projections," but also secret puppets that can switch positions at any time, these abilities are perfect for "those who follow the path of survival."
Klein chuckled, "'The Sage's' abilities are quite useful too."
He wasn't just being polite; the mythical creature state of the "Secret Seeker" pathway was indeed something Klein envied, as the information flow state could make one immune to most attacks.
Odis joked, "Let's not flatter each other."
Then he added, "Have you found your hunting target?"
"We'll find it soon," Klein said. "But before that, you'll have to become invisible."
Odis nodded and immediately used his invisibility ability, disappearing into the wilderness.
They had already discussed the hunting process beforehand, so there was no need for further discussion; they could begin immediately.
Klein walked to a rock, placed the lantern on it, and then uttered a revered name in Giant's Tongue: "Lord of Darkness, who dwells with history."
"The embodiment of countless miracles;"
"The god who holds desires."
This is the name of the Dark Wolf that Klein received from the "Goddess of the Night".
As he uttered the name, Klein surrounded himself with the power of "Above the Gray Mist," turning himself into a "delicious" lure.
Deep within the rolling mountains lies an ancient castle.
Giants, elves, humans, and vampires each served as gardeners, cooks, male servants, maids, and guards, respectively.
Their expressions were all different, and they would whisper to each other when they met, appearing very lively and intelligent.
But once they return to their rooms, they immediately become dazed, their eyes no longer moving, and in the next instant, their bodies float up and hang from the ceiling.
Deep within the castle, in a large hall, a gigantic figure lay silently in the darkness.
He resembled a small mountain, his entire body covered in dark, short fur, with jet-black pupils occupying at least three-quarters of his eyes, a tuft of gray-white hair on his forehead, and his head looking like an enlarged version of a wolf's head.
This is none other than the "God of Wishes," the Dark Wolf Kotal.
Suddenly, the wolf, which was taller than an ordinary giant, raised its head, and every dark, short hair on it swayed. It tilted its head as if listening to something.
The next second, it opened its mouth and let out a silent roar, summoning its true form from the "historical rift".
The moment he arrived in the real world, Cortal's true form understood why the projection had summoned him. He made a wish to get away from this place, and then, in a flash, he appeared directly on a mountain peak in the north.
The "God of Wishes" then looked at the corresponding point of light in the prayer, which was a young man wearing a strange hat and strange clothes...
Suddenly, the Dark Wolf's huge, jet-black pupils narrowed as it saw a layer of grayish-white mist shrouding the young man, giving off a mysterious and lofty feeling.
As a Sequence 2 angel using the "Occupy the Next House" pathway, he could sense that the fog was similar to the historical fog and that it had a strong attraction to him.
Yuanbao?
Cortal had heard some descriptions from the ancient god Fregra, the "King of the Dire Wolves," and instantly formed some guesses.
Under this premise, I had one idea after another about what the young man was planning to do: use the "Source Castle" to lure me into attacking him, and then use that to pinpoint my location?
Just then, the strange young man who was praying on the other side of the light suddenly raised his head and smiled: "Found you."
Without any hesitation, Kotal immediately extinguished the prayer light.
After a slight pause, the Dark Wolf, without harboring any illusions, immediately returned to its puppet castle, intending to use a wish to transfer the castle and the corresponding mystical connection.
Klein suddenly looked up and smiled, "I've found you."
Then he stretched out his right hand, grabbed at the air, and pulled out a black staff inlaid with gems from the "historical gap".
This is the "Star Staff," a level 0 sealed artifact from the "Gate" pathway!
You can go to the scenes that appear in your mind.
Because they had already discussed their plan of action, the invisible Odis immediately revealed herself and grabbed Klein's arm.
Then, Klein raced against time, imagining the scene he had just captured in his mind: a castle deep in the mountains.
The basic principle behind Klein's operation was that the Dark Wolf used this mystical connection to make a prediction while observing the worshipper.
Of course, this divination process can only be completed with the help of "above the gray fog," which utilizes the aggregation of the higher-level characteristics of "the next person to divinate" by "above the gray fog."
The moment he sensed the Dark Wolf looking at him, Klein divined a vision: a castle deep in the mountains, and many "residents" living in that castle.
Given the Dark Wolf's alertness, he might move the castle in a short time, so he needs to act quickly. Of course, it's also possible that he won't move it and will immediately escape on his own.
In that case, Klein and Odis would have no choice but to accept their bad luck.
However, such a probability is not high. According to Klein's understanding, the Mystic Town created by the Sequence 2 of the "Occupy the Next House" approach to upgrade Sequence 1 needs to exist continuously in the real world for a period of time in order to play a role in the upgrade.
Therefore, it is highly unlikely that Wu Mohen will give up on that castle. The next moment, Klein used the "Star Staff" to appear at the main gate of the castle.
Inside the castle, before the Dark Wolf could even use its wish to teleport away, its eyes narrowed, and the next second...
Immediately open the "historical gap" and prepare to delve into the fog of history.
Suddenly, a tattered cloth covered in sticky liquid appeared in mid-air, and instantly, the Dark Wolf and all the puppets in the castle turned into sheep or rabbits.
That tattered cloth was a level 0 sealed artifact that Odis had just seized during his previous operation against the "Rose School," and it was classified as an "ancient evil artifact."
This sealed artifact seems to have some connection with the "source of the curse," and it can spread curses over a wide area, especially the transformation curse. If left unchecked, it can turn everyone in a small city of two or three square kilometers into animals within ten seconds.
In the small town of Dark Wolf, there were only two or three thousand puppets, so in less than two seconds, it turned into a world of animals.
Another ability is the ability to cast individual curses. Individual transformation curses are even more powerful, capable of causing a Sequence 2 to lose most of their divinity, and leaving them unable to escape this state for a short period. If an extraordinary being below the angel level is cursed, it may take several days or even several weeks to break free of the curse.
The downsides are that the user is susceptible to the curse of the sealed artifact, and it can also easily drive the holder mad, bloodthirsty, or cause them to become unwell. However, Odis used the "Wilderness of Knowledge" to seal it, providing a safe period of 45 seconds.
The holder can select an individual or group that is not subject to the spell.
At the moment, the only ones nearby who are not cursed are Klein and Odis's puppets, who will take several minutes to get rid of this deformed state, but the Dark Wolf will only need a few seconds to get rid of it.
However, those few seconds were enough for Klein to find the other person.
Without saying a word, Odis immediately "recreated" the "Xingtian Dances with Axe and Shield," and the headless Xingtian cleaved the dark wolf, which had transformed into a rabbit larger than an elephant, in two with a single axe strike.
Klein was stunned for a moment. He felt a sense of familiarity with this headless giant. He never expected that he could "recreate" an ancient mythological figure from the ancient Common Era!
The moment the giant rabbit was cleaved in two, the Dark Wolf finally broke free from the shapeshifting curse, and from its two halves crawled out "spirit worms" thicker than a thumb.
These "spirit worms" connected together to form a new body.
Just then, the Dark Wolf realized that there was something strange about the attack just now; its body could not be reassembled.
And I have a feeling that it will take me more than half a minute to recover.
Although it wasn't a fatal injury, it became very inconvenient, requiring me to constantly remind myself not to be divided in two.
At this moment, Odis used the rag covered in a sticky, snot-like liquid to curse the Black Wolf alone.
The Dark Wolf immediately extended a claw and pulled out a semi-transparent black velvet curtain from the mists of history.
This is an item that Klein once saw in "Dream Divination." It came from a gray-white mist, suddenly appeared in the Forsaken Land, and fell into the hands of the Dark Wolf.
This curtain seems to possess the extraordinary properties of the "Mysterious Servant" Sequence 1 of the "Occupy the House" pathway.
After the "curtain" entered the real world, it opened on its own and draped over the Dark Wolf.
The next instant, the "curtain" suddenly emitted a faint light, actually helping the Dark Wolf block the angel-level transformation curse.
Only now did the Dark Wolf have time to look at the staff in Odis's hand. Its two huge black pupils widened as it recognized that it was the "Guth Staff"!
Odis then put away the sealing artifact that was meant to be the "ancient evil object." Its mission was complete when the artifact had turned all the marionettes in the city into animals and stripped them of most of their extraordinary powers.
This prevented the Dark Wolf from smoothly switching positions with the Mystic Puppet for several minutes.
It's not impossible to swap positions, but each swap will inflict a transformation curse on the puppet.
Odis did not rush to use his "mysterious reappearance" ability to attack. Instead, while observing the "curtain," he casually used witchcraft to launch an attack.
The Black Wolf was slightly surprised to see the "Gus Staff," and immediately tried to prevent itself from splitting open while making the curtain float up to attack Klein, who was hiding behind Odis.
In fact, Klein's main role was to lead the way; once he brought Odis to the Dark Wolf, he was done with that.
However, the Dark Wolf quickly grasped the current situation. On the surface, killing Klein would not have a significant impact on the current battle, but it was clear that the "Ancient Scholar" needed to enhance the characteristics within him, which was why he asked this "Sage" to attack him.
If the "Ancient Scholar" dies, the "Sage" will no longer need the "Miracleist" trait.
There's even a chance that this "sage" will leave immediately, since fighting an angel with a level 0 sealed artifact is risky, and if the relationship with that "miracle worker" isn't too close, he might not even avenge him.
Guided by this idea, the Dark Wolf suddenly attacked Klein.
The "curtain" on his body transformed into a hooded cloak.
Klein instantly felt as if he had put on that hooded cloak, and his head and shoulders felt very heavy.
He then realized that his "spirit thread" had been controlled, but Klein did not fight for his "spirit thread" and instead smiled at the Dark Wolf.
Immediately, a grayish-white mist appeared around Klein, and the curtain suddenly seemed to be frozen in place, suspended motionless.
Only then did the Dark Wolf realize that the "ancient scholar" was vying with it for the right to use the "curtain," and that the other party possessed the aura of the "Source Castle." It also seemed that the "curtain" had some connection to him.
Therefore, the Dark Wolf was immediately caught in a dilemma.
This was a tactic that Klein and Odis had planned long ago. Knowing the existence of the "Curtain" and that it was easier for this "Curtain" to connect with "Above the Gray Mist," Klein would go and fight for the "Curtain," while Odis would take the opportunity to attack.
