Chapter 74: A Demoness’s Methods

As thoughts flashed rapidly, Klein abruptly switched places with his personal valet Enuni in the neighboring room.

Under a grapevine about one hundred and fifty meters from the manor’s main building, a slowly crawling centipede suddenly stiffened, then relaxed.

Almost at the same time, its figure vanished from where it had been, and Dwayne Dantès, dressed in blue-and-white checkered pajamas, appeared there.

Klein had switched positions with a marionette again!

He decided to use this method to covertly follow Qonas Kilgor and figure out where exactly the man was going and what he was preparing to do.

Although this meant he could only “teleport” one hundred and fifty meters at a time, with each activation requiring an interval of two or three seconds because the marionette conversion process had to occur, compared with Flaming Jump or Traveling teleportation, it was sufficiently concealed. It produced very little disturbance and would be difficult for Qonas Kilgor to discover.

One had to remember that this was a demigod. Even if he was not skilled in domains such as spiritual intuition, he was still a demigod. He absolutely could not be underestimated!

By the same logic, the reason Klein did not rely on Creeping Hunger to hide in shadows was that, although such tracking would be concealed, its speed was comparatively too slow. There was no possibility of catching up to a demigod that way.

Under the deep night, between Rose Song Manor and the south bank of the Tussock River, rats moving among tree roots, venomous snakes active around rocks, spiders, and river fish grew stiff one after another, their movements becoming sluggish.

One marionette after another was transformed in succession. With their help, Klein continuously “teleported” without producing any disturbance, very quickly reaching the south bank of the Tussock River and catching up behind Qonas Kilgor, maintaining a distance of nearly one kilometer.

For a Bizarro Sorcerer, even if a marionette left the range of his control, it would not immediately lose its controlled state and die on the spot. Without the Bizarro Sorcerer’s main consciousness accelerating the process, this development was quite slow and required nearly ten minutes. Therefore, Klein was not at all worried that he would lose Winner Enuni, who was lying in his bed because of the tracking. As long as he could return within ten minutes, he could continue manipulating the marionette.

Silently, Klein followed Qonas Kilgor upstream along the Tussock River, passed through a dense forest, and climbed a mountain beside the bank.

At that moment, Qonas Kilgor, who wore no waistcoat and no coat, suddenly stopped. He began examining the surroundings, gradually expanding the range step by step, as though marking out his territory.

Seeing this, Klein did not dare linger. He immediately swapped positions with a marionette and retreated repeatedly, pulling nearly three kilometers away from that major general and deputy director of MI9.

At the same time, he proactively relinquished control over the marionettes ahead. The death of a few small insects would not arouse suspicion.

In the outskirts, in forests and mountains, this was truly far too common!

King of the Five Seas Nast can create a battle environment advantageous to himself. As a demigod of the Black Emperor pathway as well, could Qonas Kilgor possess the ability to mark out an area, tampering with, adding, or using certain rules so that any tracker entering it would be directly exposed and unable to hide? Very likely! With sufficient vigilance, Klein took out a gold coin from the pocket of his pajamas and made it spin, leap, and flip back and forth between his fingers.

This time, he deliberately controlled his strength and did not flick out any clear ringing sound. The gold coin flew up silently, then fell back down into his palm.

Klein did not need to lower his head. The state of the gold coin naturally…
