Simultaneous travel: I am rampant in the domestic area

interesting.

Klein's lips curled into a smile as he stared at Qilingus for a long time. The next moment, a slightly childish yet tense, sweet female voice echoed in his mind, layer upon layer, ethereal and resonant:

"The eternal embodiment of blessings and protection."

"The invincible supreme god."

"The supreme ruler of the Thirty-Three Heavens".

I beg for your attention;

"We beseech your hearing;"

"..."

Is she Miss Justice?
Klein realized that Miss Justice was an extraordinary being with the audience pathway, and if she had known beforehand that Zilingus was coming to Backlund, she might indeed have been able to see through the other party's disguise.

……

The small prayer room in the Duke of Negan's residence.

Audrey prayed several times before finally stopping, straightening her clothes, and quickly walking towards the door.

She knew she couldn't disappear for too long, otherwise her father and mother would worry and misjudge the situation, making incorrect decisions.

"I see."

Suddenly, Klein's ethereal voice, disguised as a person, echoed in her mind.

That voice instantly dispelled her anxiety and unease.

"Deacon Klein."

On the other side, Klein, who had just responded to Audrey's prayer, heard the call and prepared to make some preparations around the mansion in case Zilingus had some unknown means to escape from him.

But he had just come downstairs when a voice called out to him. Turning around, he saw a servant from the Duke of Negan’s residence, who said respectfully, “The Duke requests your presence.”

Klein nodded slightly and followed the waiter out into the room.

Duke Negan and Earl Hall were both present, their expressions unusually solemn, along with a blonde, blue-eyed lady of exceptional beauty and a pure and elegant demeanor.

“Deacon Klein, some unexpected situations have arisen, and we may need your assistance,” Duke Negan said solemnly.

“Audrey, tell me your thoughts.” Earl Hall patted his daughter’s hand, signaling her to share her findings with Klein.

"Ok."

Audrey took a deep breath before speaking to the young butler before her:

“Baron Gramir is acting a little differently than usual… I heard Viscount Grelint mention that ‘Hurricane Admiral’ Zilingus has the ability to transform into other people’s appearances, so…”

"So Miss Audrey suspects that Baron Gramir is actually Ziringus in disguise?" Klein asked with a light laugh.

“That’s right.” Audrey nodded obediently.

Klein pretended to think for a while before saying, "No problem, I'll take care of him. If he's Zilingus, I won't let him succeed."

"Thank you for your help." Duke Negan and Earl Hall finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If a deacon were to intervene, barring unforeseen circumstances, Zilingus could essentially be sentenced to death.

“Perhaps I can discuss some specific details with this young lady?” Klein glanced at Audrey, whose face was full of doubt, and then turned his gaze to his worried old father.

“This… Deacon Klein, Audrey is just an ordinary person.” Earl Hall hesitated.

"Don't worry, old friend, Deacon Klein will protect Audrey. It concerns Zilingus, so we can't be careless at all."

Duke Negan, who was somewhat overweight but had bright eyes, grabbed Earl Hall by the neck and pulled him towards the outside.

Earl Negan, a naval officer and a "judge" of the Arbitrator pathway sequence 6, was not someone Earl Hall could escape his control and was dragged out.

As he passed Klein, Duke Negan gave him an encouraging raise of his eyebrows.

It's not what you think...

Klein's lips twitched as he watched the two leave, leaving only him and Audrey in the room.

"Well, actually, that's all I know," Audrey said somewhat awkwardly, unsure of Klein's meaning.

“I just wanted to reintroduce myself to you, Miss Audrey.” Klein removed his top hat and bowed slightly. “Hello, Miss Justice, I am World, a new member of the Cloudtop Council.”

“The world!” Audrey’s voice cracked slightly.

The expression on his face quickly transitioned from bewilderment to surprise, and then to excitement.

"Is Mr. Klein also one of His Holiness the Celestial Venerable's chosen ones?"

The closer ties between Audrey and Klein quickly dissolved the barrier between them, and Audrey became active again.

“It’s like this,” Klein said with a smile, “His Excellency the Celestial told me that Miss Justice you were in trouble, but I didn’t expect such a coincidence.”

“Yes! What a coincidence!” Audrey exclaimed happily.

It wasn't just because of Zillingus.

She had just learned from her father Klein's identity that he was the youngest deacon in the history of the Church of the Goddess of Night, and also a high-sequence superhuman who was very likely to have reached the fourth level of the sequence.

If she had Klein as a friend, she wouldn't need to wait until every Monday to seek answers from His Holiness the Celestial.

boom!
Just then, the door to the room was pushed open again.

The old father looked at Audrey with surprise, whose smile had not yet faded. He couldn't understand why Audrey was smiling so brightly when he had only been gone for a few minutes.

You should know that she used to only show such a pure smile in front of her father.

Damn it! What happened?!
Earl Hall stared at Klein with a scrutinizing look. Right now, he was like a farmer whose cabbage was about to be eaten by pigs, but he couldn't do anything about it.

“Dad!” Audrey clung to Earl Hall’s arm and said sweetly, “I felt very comfortable chatting with Deacon Klein. Can I hire him as our family advisor in the future?” Hiring a demigod as a family advisor? What are you thinking? Earl Hall rolled his eyes at his daughter helplessly.

“Darling, I think you should respect Deacon Klein’s wishes; he absolutely refuses…”

“I can.” Before Count Hall could finish speaking, Klein nodded heavily.

Then Klein and Audrey exchanged a smile.

not good!

In an instant, Earl Hall's alert level was raised to the highest level.

He dared not imagine what would happen in the future, given that Audrey trusted him so much on their very first meeting.

"Friends, the ball is about to begin. Who wants to come with me to start it?" Duke Negan walked in, knocked on the door, and said casually.

“I’ll do it.” Klein shrugged at Audrey and, in an attempt to ease the awkward atmosphere, took the initiative to walk out with Duke Negan.

The two stood in the most conspicuous spot in the middle of the second-floor railing and began to chat casually.

Below, disguised as Baron Gramir, Zilingus held a glass of blood-red Olmir wine and stood leisurely behind the railing of the second-floor corridor, pretending to be chasing after the graceful figure of a noblewoman. His gaze swept over Duke Negan and then over Klein, who was standing next to Negan.

He guessed that Klein must be an extraordinary being guarding Duke Negan, and then nodded almost imperceptibly, pressing his right hand forward with a very small motion.

Woo!
A sudden gust of wind swept across the dance floor, extinguishing the candles on the crystal chandelier.

At the moment when light and darkness intertwined, and at the moment when everyone's attention was attracted, several thin wind blades, with the cover of the strong wind, hit the metal chain hanging the crystal chandelier, and hit the same part.

With a teeth-grinding sound of shattering, the huge crystal chandelier plummeted onto the dance floor, making a clanging sound on the ground and causing screams to emanate one after another. Many guests were injured by the flying fragments, and they screamed in extreme fear.

Taking advantage of the darkness and chaos in the hall, the glove on Qilingos's left palm squirmed and transformed, condensing into a golden surface.

His expression turned dignified, his gaze piercing through the darkness as he fixed his eyes on Klein beside Duke Negan.

Suddenly, two beams of light, like lightning, flashed in Qilingus's eyes.

Instead of the expected scream, a crisp snap of fingers rang out.

Surprisingly, the screaming nobles around them calmed down after the snap of his fingers.

boom!
Then, with a crisp sound, light reappeared in the hall.

Klein held a ball of flame in his hand, illuminating the entire hall. He looked down at Zilingus below, his tone carrying a hint of understanding: "So, the reason you can unleash abilities beyond the sequence is because of that glove on your left hand?"

At this moment, Qilingus, who was located below the ballroom and whose true form had been revealed due to the change in his abilities, felt extremely terrified.

Extraordinary beings, extraordinary beings of the highest order!
The only one who could completely disable his Nightmare ability would be a Sequence 4 demigod. It's unbelievable that the Church of Storms would send a demigod to protect Duke Negan. If he had known this would happen, he would never have accepted this assassination mission!
But it's too late to say all that now. The most important thing now is to find a way to escape from this demigod!
As Zilingus' left glove writhed, revealing fine, dark gold scales, his pupils dimmed and narrowed, and then an invisible wave swept outwards, washing over the gentlemen and ladies present.

"how so!?"

To his surprise, the scene he had anticipated—where the nobles ran around in fear and caused chaos—did not occur. His ripples of fear were annihilated the moment they touched the crowd by another, incomparably powerful force.

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! If he manages to escape this time, I'll definitely tear that idiot who issued the mission to pieces!
Qilingus cursed inwardly, but his hands did not stop moving. He stretched out his right hand and pushed hard, and countless wind blades formed a cone-shaped storm. However, just as the cone-shaped storm left his hand, it was vanished by an invisible force.

“If you don’t have any other abilities, I think you can stop here.” Klein carried the fireball and moved down the spiral staircase step by step, each step feeling like it was stepping on Zilingus’s heart, almost making him breathless.

After defeating Amon, the experience he gained was beyond description.

Relying on this experience, he has raised his Thirteen Bodyguards Horizontal Training to the twelfth level, firmly standing at the top of the demigod sequence.

From the ninth to the twelfth floor, he gained four superpowers: "divine power," "divine speed," "battle body," and "magic suppression."

Divine Power and Divine Speed ​​are advancements of Power and Speed, respectively, while Battle Body is an advancement resulting from the combination of Tortoise Shell, Recovery, and Yin Yin State.

As for the final one, the ban on magic, it is self-explanatory.

Either you're of such high status that I can't restrain you, or even if you're a saint, you'll have to obediently come down and fight me hand-to-hand.

In this world dominated by Western fantasy, the phrase "banning magic" is practically equivalent to a dimensional attack.

The only downside is that the Thirteen Protectors' Horizontal Training is only a green-quality skill. Even if he maxes out all thirteen levels, it will only allow him to barely reach the threshold of Sequence Three. As for higher levels like Angel and Angel King, he can only hope that the system will unlock new skills.

However, for him at the moment, this is enough. If he really gets angry, he still has two summoning stones in his hand.

"If I surrender now, is it too late?" Zilingus said after a moment of contemplation.

His response was a single, supreme-level basic attack.

Invisible ripples passed through Zilingus's body, and his corpse fell limply to the ground.

Tyrant Path, Sequence 6 Wind Chosen, obtained.

The sealed artifact - the writhing hunger, obtained.

"Thank you for your help, Deacon Klein. The Nigan family will never forget your kindness." Duke Nigan smiled and stepped forward, surrounded by a group of extraordinary individuals.

“It was nothing, Duke Negan, no need for such formalities.” Klein smiled, still holding the fireball, and located the Earl of Hall’s family. He smiled at Audrey.

Seeing this, Earl Hall decisively stepped forward, using his slightly smaller but still somewhat bulky figure compared to Duke Negan to shield Klein and Audrey, and said with an awkward smile:

“Deacon Klein, Audrey has been frightened. We are going home now. I will definitely pay her a visit in a few days to thank her for her help.”

“Dad, I wasn’t frightened.” Audrey tried to refuse, but her mother held her arm tightly from behind, so she could only stare at her emerald-like eyes and exclaim sweetly.

"Look, you're so scared you're starting to talk nonsense." Clearly, Earl Hall didn't give her the right to refuse, and together with his wife, they persuaded and dragged her to the villa's gate.

When faced with Audrey's pleading look, Klein could only shrug helplessly, watching as Duke Negan's servants opened the gate, as Earl Hall and his family of three boarded the luxurious carriage, and as the carriage disappeared into the street corner.

Even someone as honest and kind as me can be misunderstood.

With a wry smile, Klein shook his head and bid farewell to Duke Negan before leaving.

He stepped out the door and took a breath of the not-so-fresh fresh air.

To be honest, he had already begun to yearn for life here. (End of Chapter)
