Secret: The years I served as a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

Chapter 210 Fatal Attack

453
In the master bedroom, Cynthia closed the door and paced around the room anxiously.

She was wearing a nightgown and a coat, but she still felt cold. Cynthia turned her head and looked at the tightly drawn curtains. Since this morning, she had been feeling uneasy as if she was being spied on and looked for.

Her hands scratched her skin unconsciously, leaving red marks and tiny bumps.

With no other choice but wanting to do something, she finally walked to her bed and took out the knuckle-sized black rhino horn pendant from under her pillow again. She intertwined her fingers and clasped them in her palm, praying in a low voice:
"The great mother tree of desire..."

"Please protect Admiral Amyrius and me and help us get through this crisis..."

As she was reciting, Cynthia suddenly felt sleepy. She lost her balance and fell headfirst onto the bed in front of her.

In her dream, she saw the unreal and beautiful starry sky again, and the star that was shining brightly.

Her vision got closer and closer, and she could vaguely see the star.

At the same time, outside the mansion.

The wandering figure slowly turned his head.

……

The vague shadow approached.

Klein clearly felt the sound of cold wind next to his ears. He took two steps back with a serious expression, and the hands hidden under his clothes were ready to attack at the same time.

It was impossible to win, so Klein was thinking about how to retreat gracefully after the confrontation.

The situation was different from the Tarot Club. Klein could not ascend to Sefirah Castle in public. Otherwise, it would be like pretending to be a failure in front of so many people at the same time, and all his efforts in the past few days would be in vain.

If the time comes to fight to the death, Klein will choose to leave the team and then make plans.

The human figure with chaotic light and shadow was getting closer and closer. What was terrifying was that this human figure had no face, and no clear division between limbs and torso. Klein couldn't help but feel creepy when looking at this terrifying thing, and at the same time he had deep doubts - why did I think it was a "person", or something that was similar to a "person"?

Regardless, the figure slowly approached.

The lights around Klein began to flicker, and rust quickly covered the facilities. The wrought iron gate in front of him only existed for two seconds before it turned into a pile of completely oxidized garbage.

The wasteland spread over.

It seemed to be created by that figure, and it also seemed to be paving the way for the figure.

"Decay" or "time"? Klein didn't have the chance to think about it. The situation was already very urgent.

The Creeping Hunger in his hand slowly stretched out, and it was grazing four souls, a "psychologist", a "zombie", a "priest of light" and an "interrogator". It was more than enough to deal with other Beyonders, and at the very least, it could save his life. But in the current situation, whether it was psychological suggestion, power enhancement, purifying light or mental piercing, it didn't seem to be of much use... Klein couldn't tell whether the figure opposite him had such a thing as "mental consciousness", whether it was a seal or something else, and it would take another second for the Creeping Hunger to switch souls, so he didn't dare to try it in such a dangerous situation.

Klein was worried. In the end, he did not choose to use his spiritual power on the "Creeping Hunger" to try it. Instead, he directly used his hands close to his body to grab the "Eye of Black" and the Azik Copper Whistle.

The Ninth Law was in his pocket, held tightly in the hand that wasn't wearing Creeping Hunger.

He had a hunch that the "creeping hunger" might not cause any harm to the figure.

But it doesn't matter now.

Klein didn't have time to think about it. In just two or three seconds, when the decorative lights on the edge of the garden in front of him began to flicker, he immediately transferred spirituality into the "Ninth Law".

A majestic, vast, and inviolable aura suddenly emanated from Klein, enveloping his entire body and spreading in all directions.

"No crossing of the boundary is allowed here!"

There happened to be a crack in the bricks under his feet that could be used as a standard for judgment.

The people standing inside the gate of the mansion ten meters behind him couldn't help but lower their heads, succumbing to the majesty of the demigod, and worshiping the brilliant figure in their spiritual vision.

If everyone keeps their heads down, no one will know what move I will make.

This is exactly the effect Klein wanted.

No matter what the situation is, use the "Ninth Law" to disguise yourself as Amyrius first.

However, the situation did not go as expected. The figure did not react at all and continued to move forward. Therefore, the "cannot approach, cannot look directly" effect emanating from Klein was compressed to a distance of about two meters in front of him, and he could not move forward at all.

He was even pushed back because of the figure that kept approaching.

The golden light that seemed to be real could only barely cover Klein's entire body and the people behind him, and was in danger of disappearing at any time.

Klein felt horrified once again. "This is the blood of a demigod, plus the ancient code of the Fourth Epoch and the talisman made from the royal family's '0' level seal. It's at least level 1. How could it not be able to stop it? What on earth is this thing?"

A seal? A true active level 0 seal?

But how could a colonial island garrison base have a level 0 seal? !
Seeing this situation, he suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.

The white figure did not give him time to think or feel fear. It made a move that Klein naturally understood as "stretching out a hand."

At this moment, his spiritual warning once again pierced his whole body like a steel needle, and even the protective layer of the "Ninth Law" could not stop it.

There's only a little over one meter left.

Klein immediately shouted, "Those who violate this rule must be punished!"

He learned this sentence from the strange Beyonder Mr. Heras when he sneaked into the Capin Mansion to rescue Daisy.

From this, Klein discovered that the "interrogator"'s attack was two-fold: if you obeyed, you would be restricted; if you disobeyed, you would be attacked.

As he shouted this, the little hand against his ribs suddenly grasped the "Eye of All Black", and the spirituality poured in without hesitation!

Waves of illusory roars suddenly rushed into his mind, as if to destroy his spirit and his body.

Klein struggled to endure this extreme pain. He saw countless black lines extending from his body. He tried his best to open his eyes wide and look at the figure opposite him. His expression froze in an instant.

——There are no black lines on this thing!

——He didn’t look like he was attacked by the whispers at all!
This is not a living thing!
Klein broke out in a cold sweat. He had made a wrong judgment. This figure was neither a human nor a sealed object. It was an existence beyond his imagination and completely incomprehensible.

If you can't understand it, you naturally can't deal with it. The distance between them is only one meter, and the "hand" is about to touch his chest.

Klein saw that the two decorative lights several dozen centimeters in front of him went out at the same time. It seemed that a gust of wind had blown past, and cracks had appeared in the stone lanterns. The stone cracked open, and moss grew in the cracks, as if hundreds of years had passed in an instant.

When the "hand" was still a long way from his chest, Klein saw that the buttons on his military uniform had lost their luster and were falling apart. The main body of the clothing, which was made of fabric, was rotting even faster. In the blink of an eye, the coat and shirt in front of him had all decayed into something like mud, revealing his chest.

The Azik copper whistle held by the hand on the ribs was also revealed. A cold breath emanated from it.

A glimmer of hope rose in Klein's heart. Just when he was expecting this extraordinary item given by an angel-level strongman to be able to withstand some attacks, the copper whistle suddenly trembled violently and lost its luster, becoming gray and old.

There is a slight "click" sound.

A crack appeared on Azik's copper whistle.

Cracked, cracked... Klein was stunned. This matter was beyond his imagination. Suppressing the Level 1 Sealed Artifact "Ninth Law", completely avoiding the whispering attack of "All Black Eye", and causing Azik's copper whistle to be damaged before contact, causing spirituality to be lost, just by walking over slowly and reaching out calmly, he was able to do all this.

If the other party had chosen to attack him directly, then...

Probably will reopen straight away.

But is it really possible to be resurrected?

This was the first time Klein felt what it meant to be "an incomprehensible, unbearable, overwhelming existence."

Just by walking over, it had crushed all means of survival under its feet. The "creeping hunger" completely lost its reaction. Azik's copper whistle was still trembling, trying to resist this terrifying cold wind, but the hand was still approaching, and the cracks on the copper whistle were getting more and more numerous and larger.

When it came towards you, everything else in the world faded away, leaving only the "hand" that was definitely not a "hand" occupying your entire field of vision, because you couldn't look away, it was even drilling into your brain! Everything was collapsing, starting with hearing and vision. Klein smelled a cold breath, like snow, like ashes, as if it was the smell of the lingering wind. This wind made him cough, made it difficult for him to breathe, made his mouth and nose bleed, made him unable to see clearly, and made him... die quickly. He felt like a person exposed to the cold wind, and he would be frozen by the wind in the blink of an eye.

Did the more than 300 people before them die in this way? He couldn't help but wonder.

A hazy gray fog appeared before Klein's eyes. It had become extremely thin. This seemed to be the last line of defense.

The appearance of the gray fog made Klein realize that he might have one last chance to act. All the bones in his body moved and twisted in a hurry, and he moved his upper body back two inches.

Then, Klein used all his strength to take something out of his pocket, flicked his fingers, and threw it over.

At this moment, the figure made a very human gesture.

It was actually attracted and "turned its head" and "looked towards" the thing flying towards it.

A simple brass key.

"Master key"!
The brass "master key" was also affected by the wind surrounding it and quickly began to decompose and melt.

When its outer shell disappeared, the curse hidden inside was revealed directly, connecting to the unknown "door". In an instant or even shorter, Klein saw the "master key" decompose into the tiniest light particles and an illusory, twisted crimson.

The wind became stronger, but it was not directed at Klein. Instead, it tightly enveloped the distorted and illusory red light and shadow. The crimson struggled hard as it quickly faded, and suddenly exploded!

In an instant, Klein lost his hearing. He saw the gray fog in front of him suddenly become thicker, and saw Crimson suddenly reveal a figure like a full moon. The deadly whispers of the full moon and the feminine power burst out together.

The "All-Black Eye" in his hand opened strangely for the first time without Klein's control, and all the mutterings rushed to the opposite side in an attempt to cancel each other out, without being noticed by Klein.

Things around him distorted rapidly, as if a large phantom appeared. Plants grew wildly, growing human or animal limbs, flowers with two heads grew out of the ground, and grass that looked like legs...

They merged into a torrent and rushed towards the gray-white figure opposite.

The figure shifted the "hand" that was stretched forward to another direction, grabbed the blood-red moon and crushed it!
Boom!

A huge explosion spread out from between them, causing a terrifying storm.

Crack! The ruined garden was the first to be hit by the strong wind. Everything was torn to pieces and turned into white ground in an instant. Klein, who was standing very close, had no time to do anything before he was blown away by the shock wave.

boom!
He hit the wall and was flattened into paper.

The thin paper was quickly torn into pieces by the subsequent wind and waves and scattered all around.

Klein himself appeared in the corner, using the wall to fight against the wind and waves caused by the explosion.

The flesh squirmed, he wiped the blood off his face and began to repair his clothes. The "Creeping Hunger" also left the state of pretending to be dead, and began to use the power of the "Priest of Light" to send some warmth and purification light to the frozen body.

"Crush the shell, release the curse inside, and use it as a one-time extraordinary bomb." This was how to use it, Edward Vaughn had told him when they were still in Backlund.

But at this moment, the destructive effect caused by the "Master Key" was beyond his imagination!
Afterwards, I would definitely go to the gray fog to disinfect myself, provided that I could survive this incident.

After losing the "key" as the carrier of the curse, the spirit within it did react instinctively and transmitted the cry of Mr. "Door". The voice of this exile, who was at least angelic, polluted everything around him and also reacted to this garden!
The only thing that puzzled Klein was why a small red moon appeared. Could it be a necessary medium for the spread of whispers?
So what do those weird plants that grow wildly represent?
The wind and waves subsided a little, and Klein carefully poked his head out from the corner to confirm the results.

It wouldn't have been a big deal if he didn't look up, but when he did, he was so scared that his heart almost stopped beating.

The wind outside stopped, but the gray figure stood in front of him, "looking" down at him condescendingly.

In an instant, a burst of snowflakes burst out in front of Klein's eyes, and his mouth, nose and eyes began to bleed crazily again. In this burst of snowflakes, he seemed to really see the figure turn into a "person", a gray-white person with strange gray-white hair, a pale and thin face, and an impatient expression.

"I'm not here to see you," the figure said coldly, "stop blocking my way."

It and the All-Black Eye stared at each other for a moment.

After saying that, it blurred into a shadow again, turned around, and walked towards the main entrance of the mansion next to it.

After it left, Klein suddenly leaned forward and knelt on the ground, supporting his upper body with trembling arms. After the snow in front of his eyes dissipated, he found that his mouth and nose were full of the smell of blood, but his life was miraculously saved.

He swayed drowsily, leaned back, and leaned against the collapsed low wall, allowing his red face from lack of oxygen to slowly recover.

This move just now is equivalent to using "All Black Eyes" twenty times.

So this person really didn't take himself seriously just now. He didn't stretch out his hand to kill him. Maybe he just wanted to push away the stone that was blocking his way.

“The Mother Tree of Desire?” Klein stammered. “What a familiar name… He, uh, “He”? “He” isn’t coming for me?”

“But why would He let me go?”

"Is this name... the 'Bound God' that the Indulgence Sect believes in?"

After resting for a while, Klein suddenly felt hot all over, and his desire rose uncontrollably.

He felt something was wrong. The world was strangely quiet. Klein touched his cheek and found that it was because his eardrum had not been repaired yet. He was still deaf.

The moment his eardrum was repaired, he seemed to have finally regained his interaction with the real world, and heard many noisy and chaotic sounds coming from the mansion behind him.

There were obvious chewing sounds, indulgent groans, angry roars, and sharp urging sounds.

What on earth had happened? It wasn't over yet? Klein swallowed his saliva and used meditation to keep himself calm.

Suddenly, Klein lost his balance. The wall he was leaning against suddenly disappeared. He fell to the ground and looked up in astonishment, only to see that the house was unable to resist the invasion of the strange figure.

Its footsteps served as the dividing line, and wherever it passed, whether it was indestructible stone or treated wood, everything decayed into mud.

Even humans are no exception.

As the door and walls were eroded, Klein first saw a waiter who was eating frantically. In front of the waiter were many cooked and raw foods, including steak, lamb, dragon bone fish, and Oravi lobster.

At this time, the waiter picked up the big fish that seemed to have just stopped struggling, took a big bite of the raw dragon bone fish, and forcibly tore off a very thick piece of meat.

Fresh red blood flowed from his mouth, and the sound of his chewing was so chilling that it made people shiver all over.

His belly was different from before. It was bulging like that of a woman who is seven or eight months pregnant.

He moved his throat rapidly and swallowed the food in his mouth. His bulging belly trembled as if it would burst at any time.

This is instinctive appetite control... Klein looked at the waiter in front of him solemnly. For some reason, he thought of the homeless substitute who died of a sudden illness due to overeating.

As the distance between the figure and the waiter gradually shortened, Klein discovered that the waiter's chewing speed had obviously slowed down. The waiter did not wake up, but his strong appetite seemed to have been alleviated.

Not only the body and objects decay, but also the spirit and desire...? Klein didn't dare to get closer and made a bold guess.

He quickly grew old and dry, his hair turning white in patches. He held the big fish in his hand with a confused look in his eyes, seemingly unable to understand.

Then, his skinny arm broke, a figure walked past him, and he and his food turned into ashes.

The figure was still moving forward, as if with a clear goal.

Klein discovered that the other party was walking in the corridor of the mansion, with houses constantly disappearing and appearing on both sides. Klein hesitated for a moment, grabbed the "All Black Eye" and Azik's copper whistle, and slowly followed at a distance of more than 20 meters.

He saw a blonde maid who kept urging others to praise her in a shrill voice, and servants who looked drowsy and sleepy no matter what kind of danger they encountered. Soon, Klein saw the secretary Lu Eran.

Lu Er'an stood in front of a bedroom, looking inside with a haughty expression, as if with disdain.

Even though the figure was not approaching, Luran's skin and blond hair quickly dimmed, and his expression did not change at all, which seemed like he remained calm even when faced with a catastrophe.

"Lü Er'an." Klein immediately touched the "Ninth Law" and spoke solemnly, but the other party did not respond.

Just like that, the blonde secretary turned into ashes and disappeared in front of Klein.

Klein shook his head regretfully. Apart from feeling sorry for the loss of another life, he had no further thoughts.

He just looks normal. I can't wake him up unless I solve the source of the abnormality... Klein followed the direction of Lu'an's previous sight and found a three-meter-tall white body on the bed in the middle of the master bedroom.

More importantly, the figure stopped when it reached the bedroom.

Its surface is covered with brown-green tumors that look like tree knots, some of which have cracked and turned into flower-like organs.

Some members of the general's guards and the male servants in the house gathered around, some standing, some kneeling, some floating, some climbing, mating with those organs, and breathing heavily.

The rest of the general's guards and maids, in groups of varying numbers, were scattered on the bedroom carpet, enjoying each other's bodies.

In addition, from the tall white body with "tree tumors" and "flowers", there are also brown "branches" extending out, participating in every group of carnival on the scene.

What kind of monster is this... Klein once again refreshed his knowledge of the mysticism. He subconsciously lowered his left palm naturally, ready to fight.

At this moment, a head turned over from the top of the terrifying three-meter-tall body.

This is a woman with long golden hair, blue eyes, a high nose bridge and plump lips. She is none other than Cynthia, who is gentle and still has a bit of girlishness!

As the “branch” waved and the “flower” opened and closed, Cynthia looked down at Klein with a blushing face and said shyly:
"General, I think, I want to have a child with you..."

Seeing Cynthia's white body grow huge, with many tumors and flowers, like a strange tree, and hearing her shy and hesitant request, Klein couldn't help but shudder, and all his hair stood up.

The figure seemed to "look" at the tree of flesh and blood, then "looked" at Klein, and finally "nodded" with "no surprise".

TBC

Zhenzao (sitting up in shock from his dying illness): Okay, when I’m away for a while you’ll attack the heir to Tianzun again, right? Do you think I’m dead?

Decline (traditional virtues): Earthlings should be moderate in taking sides. If you can’t see who started the fight first, you can change an eye.

Shinzo: Then who do you think started it first?

Decline: The Mother Tree of Desire.
