Chapter 82: Gone

Chapter 82: Gone

Amid the long sigh that came from the depths of the church, the muscles in Klein’s and Alger’s backs tightened at the same time, and adrenaline surged wildly.

Without hesitation, the glove on Klein’s left palm turned transparent. His entire person abruptly vanished and reappeared beside the Hanged Man.

As he reached out toward the other man’s shoulder, the Wraith Senor also picked up the jellyfish-like Beyonder characteristic and, through Mirror Jump, returned to the gold coin inside the iron cigarette case.

Immediately afterward, Klein’s and Alger’s bodies faded at the same time, turning incorporeal. The entire burial hall instantly returned to silence.

The two directly teleported into midair far away, appearing amid crimson moonlight and the shadows of the clouds.

Subconsciously, Klein and Alger turned back at the same time, looking toward the primitive island, wanting to know what exactly would happen.

After all, just now they had only heard that sigh. Before they had sensed any substantial danger, they had already made the decision to flee immediately based on instinct and experience. At this moment, they inevitably felt somewhat curious and confused.

In their vision, the heavy fog enveloping the primitive island was swiftly dispersing, allowing the moonlight high in the sky to fall straight through, no longer obstructed.

Amid the howling gale, Klein and Alger floated in midair. Through the already thinning fog, they clearly saw the primitive island’s current state:

It was gone.

This primitive island, where a demigod-level Feathered Serpent and all kinds of extraordinary creatures lived, was gone!

In the area where it had originally been, dark-blue, almost black seawater gently swayed. There was not the slightest abnormality.

Alger could not help reaching into his pocket to touch the items inside. His fingers brushed against the six-winged gargoyle’s core crystal, which made his thoughts slow slightly.

If not for the spoils of battle still existing, he would definitely suspect that what had just happened was a dream. He would suspect that he and Gehrman Sparrow had somehow gotten lost, failed to find the true primitive island, and completed an exploration only in a dream.

Klein had similar thoughts, and he even wondered whether he was hallucinating in that moment. After all, a large island home to many powerful creatures and hiding secrets of the mythical age could not simply vanish the moment it was gone, without even leaving a corresponding trace in the seawater.

Good thing we did not hesitate at all and directly chose to retreat. Otherwise, Mr. Hanged Man and I might have vanished the same way, never to be found again…

An immense feeling of relief suddenly rose in Klein’s heart. He did not dare remain any longer. Once again, he activated Travel and disappeared from midair with Alger, passing through the spirit world.

The final image of that sea region frozen in their eyes was of fog spreading again, growing thicker and thicker.

After another teleportation, Klein and Alger returned to the previous uninhabited island, standing on a reef as the waves swallowed the beach with splashing sounds.

Alger looked left and right, breathed out soundlessly, and took out the six-winged gargoyle’s core crystal and eyes.

“These are shared spoils. You choose first.”

After weighing the matter, he counted only the six-winged gargoyle as a creature the two of them had jointly killed. The three deceased belonged solely to Gehrman Sparrow.

Klein did not respond directly. He had the Wraith Senor appear beside him, taking out the Tyrant card, the brown earth-like Beyonder characteristic, and the jellyfish-like Beyonder characteristic, the latter suspected to correspond to Ocean Songster.

Only after doing all this did he speak.

“One battle. I choose first, three times.”

What he meant was that this belonged to the two of them’s encounter battle against three dead men and one six-winged gargoyle. The…
