Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 442 Descendant of Death

Klein shook his head slightly, no longer wanting to think about those unlucky things.

He reached out and grabbed at the air a few times, his mind simultaneously conjuring up the "stealth" technique used by the "Hidden Angel" in the struggle for the "Scepter of Order".

After several attempts, Klein finally replicated his previous ability, and a faint, misty orb appeared in his hand.

“The Fool does indeed possess a portion of hidden authority,” Klein sensed a familiar feeling, “which gives me no obstacle in using ‘Anonymization’.”

The mist gradually spread out, enveloping Klein's body.

At this moment, Klein became even more unpredictable in terms of fate and reality, and was in a semi-hidden state.

"At least this way I won't have to worry about being constantly blocked by Zarathustra." Klein will not confront Zarathustra head-on until he is prepared to face at least two angels.

"However, the mission here..." Klein thought of the mission given to him by the "Hidden Angel".

"It's never a bad thing to be prepared."

……

This was Klein's first time visiting West Bayron.

This is the legitimate kingdom of the Byron Empire, that is, the kingdom ruled by the Aegis family.

Klein arrived in this city, which was said to be built in the style of the capital of the Byron Empire, and felt a strong sense of death.

The "carriages" on the street are actually coffins, each just big enough for one person to lie down inside; the houses on both sides of the street have round, protruding roofs, like primitive tombs; even the signs look like tombstones...

"Won't living in such a repressive city cause mental health problems?" Klein adjusted his silk hat, his expression serious, and walked to a villa with a less pronounced Byron-style atmosphere.

"Hello, I am Klein Moretti, a student of Mr. Azik. I have come to West Bayron today specifically to visit my teacher," Klein explained to the waiter.

"Please come in!"

Klein entered the villa where Mr. Azik was temporarily staying.

Since Azik appeared as the "Death Archon," he has remained in the southern continent and has not returned to Tingen.

"Klein? What brings you here?" Azik Eggers, dressed casually in a white shirt and black trousers, looked at Klein in surprise as he walked into the drawing room.

"Mr. Azik, it's been a long time." Klein smiled sincerely.

The teacher and student exchanged pleasantries upon meeting, and even talked about history, which they both enjoyed.

As an "ancient scholar," Klein was finally able to communicate with this living "history book."

"Your progress amazes me. Even though you've taken a different path, you haven't given up your love for history," Azik exclaimed.

"But I also want to remind you of something," Azik's expression turned serious, "always maintain a sense of awe."

"Yes." Klein nodded solemnly.

"Alright, what brings you here?" Azik nodded slightly and then asked.

"..." Klein felt somewhat ashamed.

"It has been 1350 years. The world is about to be turned upside down, and you are destined to be caught in this vortex." Azik sighed softly.

"I would like to make contact with the current Eggers family through you." Klein frowned, then explained his purpose.

"It's the Church of the Night's intention, isn't it?" Azik nodded.

"Given the status of the Eggers family, they are bound to be drawn into the war between the Church of the Night and the Church of the God of War. I am already prepared for that."

Klein nodded slightly. This was a struggle between neighboring paths, and the Eggers family, belonging to the "Corpse Collector" path, could not remain uninvolved.

Of course, more importantly, Klein knew that the Eggers family possessed a copy of the "Pale Emperor," and that the Church of War had just had one stolen from them...

"The Goddess of Night has already obtained the uniqueness of 'Death' and the characteristics of 'Pale Emperor', right?" Mr. Azik's expression was somewhat complicated.

"The goddess has been unable to descend to earth recently," Clay subtly reminded her, information he had obtained from the "Hidden Angel."

"..." Mr. Azik was silent for a while, then nodded slightly, whether with relief or regret, having received the message in Klein's words.

The fact that the Goddess of Night cannot descend to earth means that she is trying to control or even merge with the uniqueness. Once the uniqueness is contained, even the most powerful Death God will die.

"I'll take you to see Shia Palenque." Azik Eggers quickly changed into a formal suit and led Klein toward the Byron Palace in the city center.

"This is no longer the original palace. The original palace was connected to the underworld, and could even be considered part of the underworld." Azik explained some historical knowledge to Klein along the way.

"The war at the end of the Fourth Age had a greater impact than you can imagine. The entire southern continent, or rather the Byron, was horribly affected by that war."

Klein nodded as he looked at the ancient building, which had a history of over a thousand years. Compared to the royal palace of Loen, this place lacked its glittering splendor and possessed a profound tranquility.

"I have come to pay my respects to the 'Pale Queen'." Azik Eggers found a count stationed at the palace and handed him an invitation.

It turned out that this was also His first time paying homage to this "Empress".

"This way, please." The court count looked at Azik Eggers with reverence and respectfully led the way.

On the "Corpse Collector" path, the suppression of rank is terrifying. This "Corpse Collector" Sequence 5 recognized "Death Archon" just by seeing Him, and his body trembled slightly. He almost knelt down and kissed the ground.

Klein entered the Byron Palace without any hindrance and arrived at a palace shaped like a coffin.

The towering pillars, the somber colors, and the eerie atmosphere made Klein feel as if he had entered the underworld.

"The Queen awaits you," the court count said, bowing.

"Alright." Azik Eggers nodded calmly and walked into the dark palace, which exuded an aura of death, with Klein.

The palace was large, but its shape made it seem too long and narrow. Klein and Azik's footsteps echoed through the palace; it was too quiet, or rather, deathly still.

"Ancestor, you have finally come to see me." A cold and deep voice echoed in the palace, slowly drifting through the air.

Klein's eyes lit up. The pale white light, mixed with eerie green, flickered, as if it had brought the entire palace into the world of the dead, making it even less like the human world.

When Klein looked up, what he saw deep within the palace was not a throne, but an extremely luxurious bronze coffin.

Various pale white symbols flickered on the coffin, each symbol seemingly a vengeful spirit or shadow, possessing life, either numb or howling in agony.

Klein subconsciously looked away, forcing himself to shift his attention.

Ancestor... This is a descendant of Mr. Azik, so he can be considered a legitimate member of the Grim Reaper lineage.
