Chapter 80: Reunion

Because he had experience himself, Klein placed himself in the Dark Demonic Wolf’s position and began to think:

Under ordinary circumstances, He would definitely turn off automatic responses to prayers, in order to prevent enemies from using the feedback to establish a connection and lock onto His location.

Under that premise, when facing an unfamiliar prayer that had suddenly appeared, without question, He would rely on the corresponding light to observe the person on the other side and grasp more intelligence, making certain preparations for possible future events.

If the one reciting the honorific name was a familiar, powerful existence similar to Amon, then extinguishing that prayer light immediately would be the best option. But if the person on the other side was a stranger, then, in a situation where He Himself was absolutely safe, long-term monitoring, learning the specific circumstances, and examining whether there was a need to retaliate were things every rational creature would most likely do. At least, Klein himself would do so.

The essence of this matter was that a non-mythical creature would be marked by a high-level existence and might, at any moment, die inexplicably in an extremely miserable fashion. For the person praying, this was comparable to suicide—perhaps even more terrifying than suicide. Yet to the Dark Demonic Wolf, it had only benefits and no drawbacks.

At first, the suspicious Dark Demonic Wolf would certainly suspect there was a conspiracy and would not dare rashly establish a connection or influence Klein from afar. But as time passed, as He observed more deeply, and once He confirmed that the other party truly was only a weakling who had not reached the angel level but carried a hint of Sefirah Castle’s aura, and that the weakling had not made sufficient preparations, He would inevitably seek a chance. When Klein was at his least guarded, He would launch a remote attack through the marked prayer light.

This matched the advantage Klein had previously summarized about himself:

“I am very weak.”

The only problem with this plan was that the initiative would be completely in the Dark Demonic Wolf’s hands. Everything about Klein would be monitored. He would have no way to prepare in advance. Once the other party truly tried to exert influence, he would have no ability to resist and no reason to survive.

Whew. Doing this would mean successfully fishing out the prey, only for the hunter to die because of it… That has no meaning… But if I don’t put myself in such a passive position, I truly cannot lure out an angel of the Seer pathway, nor lure out such a suspicious demonic wolf… This cannot be replaced by a marionette or another person… If only I could seize that span of time when the Dark Demonic Wolf, because of His suspicion, does not dare attack from afar rashly and temporarily only chooses monitoring and observation… Klein’s thoughts spun rapidly, seeking out a possible opportunity amid one impossibility after another.

In the end, he could only sigh inwardly, regretting that he was not an angel of the Audience pathway.

According to his guess, angels of the Audience pathway would more or less possess a Beyonder trait like: the more others understand you, the more you understand them. When the Dark Demonic Wolf monitored and carefully observed an angel of the Audience pathway through a prayer light, His position would, without question, be naturally and reasonably exposed to the other party.

Unfortunately, I am not… And Sequence 2 of the Audience pathway may not necessarily possess this. I can only be certain that Sequence 1 has such a trait… Summon 0-08 from the fog of history? No. Leaving aside whether that quill can still be summoned without Groselle’s Travels, even if I successfully create its projection, the quill is the quill, and I am me. The Dark Demonic Wolf’s understanding of my situation would not let 0-08 reverse-attempt to grasp Him. Also, I can only use…
