Chapter 191: Words in Blood

The layers of pea vines, intertwined as though they could weave a stairway to heaven, fell one after another and shrank back into the soil.

Whether it was the Black Saint’s main personality or the benevolent Leomaster, both had now vanished without a trace. Only Admiral of Stars Cattleya stood atop the giant boulder, gazing around in confusion.

“Did the Queen of Mysteries throw both Leomaster’s main personality and benevolent personality back into his own dream? Or did she pull them somewhere else and try to clarify the specific location from which one can enter the Forsaken Land of the Gods?

“It seems those two personalities cannot be drawn separately into different dreams. Otherwise, the Queen of Mysteries would long since have been able to speak privately with the benevolent Leomaster and exchange the condition of helping him defeat the devil for the corresponding intelligence. There would have been no need to make things so complicated…

“Of course, to truly erase the Black Saint’s main personality, she may have to enter that dangerous ruin in the real world. Even the Queen of Mysteries probably doesn’t dare attempt that lightly, because there’s a real chance an ‘evil queen’ who does whatever she wants and delights in harming others might appear…” Klein pondered as he turned back once more toward the building near the gate of the black monastery. Behind the clean, bright floor-to-ceiling window, the figure belonging to Bernadette had likewise disappeared.

Klein did not try to search for her whereabouts, nor did he try to learn whether the Queen of Mysteries had obtained more intelligence from the benevolent Leomaster, because he remembered the core setting of Gehrman Sparrow’s identity:

He was Mr. Fool’s Blessed!

And Admiral of Stars knew very well that within Mr. Fool’s Tarot Gathering, The Sun came from the City of Silver in the Forsaken Land of the Gods. To say that Mr. Fool did not know how to enter the Forsaken Land of the Gods would clearly be impossible for anyone to believe.

Therefore, as His Blessed, Gehrman Sparrow would naturally lack the motivation to investigate too deeply!

So many things succeed because of a persona and fail because of a persona. This really is a Faceless’s flaw… Klein withdrew his gaze and once again looked toward the projection of the Giant King’s Court on the opposite mountain. He saw the condensed dusk there slowly returning to the horizon.

On this side of the mountain, the giant stone still stood tall. Admiral of Stars Cattleya slowly sat down again and wrapped her arms around her knees.

…

Noon and night alternated three more times, yet only one day had actually passed outside.

The Future went around dangerous ruins and relics, avoided hazards hidden at different points along the safe route, and finally returned near the entrance to this sea.

Klein and the others once again saw the first ruin that had mostly been submerged by seawater. They saw the gray stones and stone pillars piled into a peak, and they saw the tall dome at the summit.

Previously, they had heard a huge and distinct sound of breathing here. Bloodless Heath had even pointed out in agony that a corpse was buried inside the ruin!

And that corpse was very likely the source of the breathing!

Now, however, this ruin, which clearly contained tremendous danger, no longer brought fear to everyone aboard the Future, but joy instead. Seeing it meant they were about to leave this absurd and terrifying sea!

“Huh? There’s a ship!” Nina had, at some unknown point, climbed onto the tall lookout platform. Gazing toward the ruin, she shouted.

A ship? Klein went around Anderson Hood, who stood in front of him, approached the rail, and focused his gaze.

Sure enough, behind and to the side of the stones and pillars piled into a peak, a normal three-masted sailing ship was moored there. Because of the obstruction, unless one looked from above or observed carefully, it was difficult for those…
