Lord of the Mysteries Chapter Summary 826-840

Chapter 826 – The Thought of Being Forgotten

Klein, as the Black Emperor, sets up a ritual and summons himself to investigate the secret in the sewers. He brings various mystical items, including Creeping Hunger and Azik’s copper whistle, but leaves Death Knell behind to avoid the urge to engage in battle. With Senor, his marionette, leading the way, Klein navigates the sewers, using his Wraith to scout ahead and avoid any potential dangers.

As Senor reaches the end of the passage, the grayish-white tweezer in its hand trembles, indicating the presence of an unknown object. Klein determines that it’s alive and spiritual in nature, but decides not to probe further, opting instead to use explosives to destroy Hazel’s work and attract the Nighthawks. He sets up the explosives, ready to trigger them, but suddenly stops, his cautious nature getting the better of him.

Klein immediately ends the summoning and returns to the real world, his mission incomplete. His actions are shrouded in mystery, leaving questions about the secrets hidden in the sewers and the true extent of his powers. The Tarot Club members, meanwhile, are left to wonder about Klein’s decision-making process and the weight of his burdens as a powerful but troubled Beyonders.

Chapter 827 – Plenty of People Coming and Going

As the sun rises over Böklund Street, Klein, still reeling from his incomplete mission in the sewers, pretends to search for the source of the commotion, careful not to arouse suspicion. The police investigation reveals a reasonable explanation for the explosion, implicating gang members trading firearms, but Klein knows better. He’s aware of the demigod’s involvement and chooses not to probe deeper, fearing his own exposure and potential harm to the innocent residents.

Instead, Klein focuses on observing Hazel, wary of potential traps laid by the official Beyonders. He takes a moment to inform Snake of Fate Will Auceptin about the choices offered by Admiral of Stars, using the paper crane to send a discreet message. Meanwhile, Derrick Berg, still grappling with the aftermath of the Tarot Gathering, emerges from his state of petrification, only to be consumed by despair and pain. He begins to question his faith and the fate of the City of Silver, his hopes for a better future dwindling.

As Derrick struggles to find solace, he decides to reconnect with others in the City of Silver, but finds himself at a loss on how to make friends or even start a conversation. He resorts to his comfort zone, heading to the training field to reestablish ties with familiar faces, while Klein continues to navigate the treacherous world of Beyonders, ever vigilant and prepared for the next move.

Chapter 828 – Movement of the Night

Klein navigates his dream, creating a scene with Dwayne Dantès surrounded by beauties, only to be suddenly transported to the sewer where he finds himself holding familiar explosives. He pretends to be frightened, throwing them away, and escapes the sewer. Upon waking, he realizes the demigod from the Marauder pathway is still hiding in Böklund Street, likely near Hazel, and is trying to seek out its target through dreams. Klein reflects on his narrow escape, attributing his safety to following the Marionettist’s principles.

Meanwhile, Cattleya observes Frank Lee’s antics on the docked Future, feeling uneasy about his unpredictable nature. However, she takes comfort in knowing he still lacks the Druid potion formula. Later, Gehrman Sparrow’s voice informs her that the angel has agreed to the method to regain strength, bringing her closer to becoming a demigod.

As Klein attends a class on ancient literature, he receives a request from The Hermit Cattleya, conveyed through Mr. Fool, to inform The World that Queen Mystic has agreed to meet near the entrance of the bridge on the south bank of the Tussock River at eleven in the evening. Klein, as Gehrman Sparrow, confirms the meeting and prepares to attend, using his paper figurine to transform into his alter ego.

Chapter 829 – Arrival of June

Klein arrives at the entrance of the bridge on the south bank of the Tussock River, where Queen Mystic Bernadette has agreed to meet him. As they part ways, Klein notices that his marionette, Wraith Senor, appears more like a dead man, with a pale face and cold aura, likely due to contamination from guarding Chanis Gate. He projects Senor onto a gold coin and uses Traveling to head out to sea, selecting food for Creeping Hunger before returning to his master bedroom.

Meanwhile, Audrey Hall acquires a new mystical item, a black fishnet glove, crafted by the Artisan using the Mentor of Confusion Beyonder characteristic obtained from Gehrman Sparrow. The glove grants her several Beyonder powers, including enhancing dignity, distorting targets’ words and intent, bribing them with symbolic gestures, and producing a “Chaos” effect. However, the glove has serious negative side effects, including making the wearer’s psyche grow dark and inducing a state of Chaos after wearing it for more than three minutes.

As Audrey ponders solutions to the glove’s drawbacks, she is interrupted by her maidservant, announcing that her father, Earl Hall, wishes to speak with her about their impending return to Backlund and her 18th birthday party tomorrow night.

Chapter 830 – Infiltration

Klein receives a message from Arrodes through a magical mirror, asking about his plans and offering to watch over his illusion to prevent accidents. In return, Klein asks about the location of the Antigonus family’s notebook behind Chanis Gate, and Arrodes reveals it’s a Grade 1 Sealed Artifact in basement two of the cathedral.

Klein then prepares for his plan, setting up an illusion of himself sleeping in his bed and creating a new disguise as the servant he previously Teleported. He makes his way to Saint Samuel Cathedral, blending in with the servants as they clean and perform their duties. After thirty minutes, they return to the servants’ quarters, where Klein plans to continue his infiltration.

As Klein navigates the cathedral and its surroundings, he transforms into Gehrman Sparrow and uses his Traveler abilities to move about undetected, all while making humorous remarks about the convenience and drawbacks of being a Traveler. With his plan in motion, Klein is now one step closer to retrieving the Antigonus family’s notebook, but what obstacles await him in the shadows of the cathedral?

Chapter 831 – Just Inches Away

Klein’s muscles stiffen as he encounters Leonard, a Red Glove Nighthawk, while making his way to Chanis Gate. He recalls that Leonard has a Marauder pathway angel, Pallez Zoroast, parasitizing him, which could detect his unique body and see through his disguise. However, Klein realizes that Pallez’s attitude is more important, and the angel wouldn’t expose him since it would put its own existence at risk. With a composed demeanor, Klein approaches Leonard, who seems indifferent and tired, and they exchange a silent greeting.

Klein proceeds to Chanis Gate, where he’s greeted by an eerie atmosphere and an unsettling feeling of being watched. He notices black threads covering the area, swaying like a lady’s hair or a monster’s tentacles. Despite the ominous surroundings, Klein remains calm and lights a lantern, bathing the area in a dim, yellow glow. He chooses to wait patiently, aware that Keepers are most easily disturbed in the first five minutes after entering Chanis Gate.

As he survives the critical initial period, Klein heads towards the stone staircase leading to the second floor, sensing he’s overcome 70% of the difficulties. His mission to retrieve the Antigonus family’s notebook is now within reach, but he knows that accidents can still occur, and his departure remains a challenge.

Chapter 832 – Town

Klein’s vision turns pitch-black as he’s overwhelmed by an unknown power, and he enters a dreamless slumber. When he awakens, he finds himself in a foggy town, surrounded by an eerie atmosphere and ancient buildings, including a striking black cathedral. The town seems familiar, and Klein realizes it’s the source of danger in the nighttime ruins of the battle of gods, where people who don’t sleep and enter a dream world disappear.

As a Seer, Klein quickly pieces together that this mysterious town is connected to the night and the disappearances in the Sonia Sea ruins. He suspects that a high-ranking Church member has sent him here as a form of eternal exile or imprisonment. With his Clown abilities, Klein assesses his physical condition, finding himself uninjured and still wearing the Keeper’s robe.

Undeterred, Klein uses his Creeping Hunger glove and Azik’s copper whistle, but the skeleton messenger doesn’t appear. He concludes that this place is isolated from the spirit world, making it difficult to escape or contact the outside world. Despite this, Klein remains confident, preparing to take action to escape the “imprisonment” of the fog town.

Chapter 833 – Things to Take Note Of

Klein, trapped in the foggy town, encounters a stunning woman, Panatiya, who seems out of place in the eerie atmosphere. She’s pure, stately, and untainted, and Klein quickly realizes she’s familiar with the Seer pathway, suspecting her to be a member of the Demoness Sect. Panatiya, however, is more concerned about their current predicament, proposing cooperation to escape their eternal imprisonment. Klein, using his Marionettist skills, tries to sound her out, but fails to gather more information about her organization.

As they converse, Klein becomes increasingly intrigued by Panatiya, sensing something familiar about her voice. He deliberately avoids mentioning his true identity, using his Clown abilities to maintain the charade. Panatiya, meanwhile, seems knowledgeable about the lady who sent Klein to this town, hinting at a complex web of relationships.

As Klein struggles to uncover more about Panatiya and their situation, he begins to consider the possibility of cooperation, even if it means setting aside his moral compass. The enigmatic Panatiya, however, remains an enigma, leaving Klein to ponder her true intentions and the secrets she might be hiding.

Chapter 834 – Good Luck

As Klein tries to escape the foggy town, Panatiya binds him with invisible threads, transforming him into a paper figurine. However, Klein’s Marionettist skills allow him to recover, and he uses Paper Figurine Substitutes to escape. He sets the mill on fire, causing Panatiya’s figure to crumble, and then attempts to possess her using Wraith possession, but she reflects Senor’s figure, foiling his plan.

As the chase continues, Panatiya’s true nature is revealed: she’s a demigod-level Demoness. Klein transforms Senor into a Werewolf to attack her, but her threads and hair strands fail to bind him. Instead, they burst into dark flames, fuelled by spirituality, and Senor perishes as a result.

With Senor defeated, Klein is left to face Panatiya alone. The stakes are higher than ever, and the enigmatic Panatiya remains a mystery. Will Klein be able to uncover her true intentions and escape the town, or will he fall prey to her powers?

Chapter 835 – The Figures Coming and Going

Klein, still reeling from his encounter with Panatiya’s incomplete Mythical Creature form, struggles to maintain his composure as he experiences symptoms of mutation and loss of control. He manages to resist the effects through Cogitation and emotional control, gaining insight into Panatiya’s powers and vulnerabilities. As he recovers, he discovers that the deserted town has suddenly come to life, with shadowy figures loitering in the streets, their growling voices akin to savage beasts.

With Panatiya temporarily restricted, Klein knows he can’t stay hidden forever. He turns his attention to the pitch-black spired cathedral, the one place Panatiya fears to tread. Believing she wouldn’t lie about this, Klein sees the cathedral as his only chance to escape her pursuit. He decides to take the risk, but his attempt to use Creeping Hunger to turn invisible and Travel through the spirit world fails, leaving him puzzled but more determined than ever.

As Klein ponders his next move, he begins to unravel the mysteries of his Traveling ability, realizing that his connection to the spirit world is still intact, even if he can’t enter it. With this newfound understanding, Klein readies himself to face the unknown dangers lurking within the cathedral, his only hope for survival in this forsaken town.

Chapter 836 – “Tossing Food”

Klein’s plan to infiltrate the cathedral is put on hold as he faces a new threat in the form of a shadowy figure that can manipulate his surroundings. He uses his Paper Figurine Substitutes ability to escape danger, but soon finds himself pulled into a dream. However, Klein’s lucidity and rationality in dreams allow him to quickly regain control and awaken. Upon returning to reality, he unleashes a barrage of attacks against the shadow, utilizing his Air Bullet, Zombie’s Ice Stun, and Language of Foulness abilities.

As the battle rages on, Klein employs his Bribe ability to weaken the enemy’s powers and creates a powerful sword infused with lava and corruption. He faces off against the hooded figure, who wields a burning-white spear and chants an ominous phrase. The two engage in a fierce duel, with Klein ultimately shattering the spear and extinguishing the flames in the room.

The scene ends with an eerie silence, as if unseen gazes are watching from beyond the curtains, and the hooded figure remains still, seemingly aware of an impending horror.

Chapter 837 – The Hangers

As the crimson moonlight fades, Klein concocts a plan to draw Panatiya’s attention by using Mr. A’s abilities, intent on creating an opportunity to strike her down. He snaps his fingers, igniting a tree and vanishing amidst the flames, only to reappear tens of meters away. However, he’s met with the Demoness of Despair’s plague, which spreads rapidly, and he finds himself struggling to breathe.

Panatiya appears, her eyes devoid of hunger pangs, instead radiating an unsettling, teasing intent. Klein snaps his fingers again, bursting into flames and rapidly fading away, reappearing above the tree. He then somersaults to the side of the ancient cathedral, where his body is suddenly encased in thick layers of ice.

Klein clenches his teeth, suppressing his horror, and uses the Creeping Hunger to pass through the cathedral’s wall. Inside, he’s met with an eerie darkness, where figures hang suspended in mid-air, resembling cured meat, their eyes rolled back in a macabre spectacle. As the figures turn to face him, Klein readies himself to use Door Opening to escape, planning to repeatedly pass through the wall to avoid Panatiya’s attacks.

Chapter 838 – Scene from the Historical Void

Klein finds himself in an eerie darkness, surrounded by suspended figures resembling cured meat, inside the ancient cathedral. He encounters an elder in a black robe, sitting behind a statue, with a white beard and pitch-black eyes. The elder’s Spirit Body Threads coiled around his body, unlike the other figures, and he seems to be avoiding the danger within the cathedral.

As Klein approaches, the elder opens his eyes and initiates a conversation, revealing he’s been waiting for another Seer. He claims to have died long ago, but used special Beyonder powers to maintain a projection of himself in this world. The elder offers to guide Klein on how to escape, stating that once he leaves, the projection will vanish, and an urn of ashes will remain.

Klein learns that the elder wants his remains scattered in the Srenzo River, near Intis’s capital, Trier, his hometown. The elder then provides cryptic instructions on how to escape, pointing Klein towards a specific wall behind the statue, where an inset awaits a corresponding obsidian rock. With the rock in place, the wall will display illusory colors, and the elder will reveal a special symbol to unlock the door, allowing Klein to escape.

Chapter 839 – Descendant of An Ancient God

Klein’s encounter with the elder takes an unexpected turn as he discovers the elder’s true identity: Zaratul, a legendary High-Sequence Beyonder of the Seer pathway and leader of the Secret Order. This revelation sends Klein’s mind reeling, as he struggles to wrap his head around the fact that a figure from history textbooks has jumped out and is standing before him. Despite his initial shock, Klein tries to calm himself down and cautiously probes Zaratul, who reveals his extraordinary powers, including the ability to summon a fish from the outside world.

As Klein attempts to navigate this precarious situation, he decides to feign a greedy demeanor, hoping to lower Zaratul’s guard and believe he can easily manipulate him. Klein requests the Bizarro Sorcerer potion formula, which Zaratul agrees to provide, along with the symbol needed to escape the cathedral, on the condition that Klein scatters his ashes in the Srenzo River. With this new development, Klein’s escape plan is fraught with uncertainty, and he must tread carefully to avoid falling prey to Zaratul’s cunning schemes.

As the intrigue deepens, Klein finds himself entangled in a web of secrets and history, with Zaratul’s true intentions and motivations shrouded in mystery. The elder’s enigmatic smile and cryptic words only add to the sense of foreboding, leaving Klein to wonder what other surprises this ancient god’s descendant has in store for him.

Chapter 840 – Using His Advantage

As Klein navigates the mysterious foggy town, he pieces together the puzzle of the cathedral’s influence, concluding that the crimson moon’s magnetism controls the corpses, which then pretend to be normal. He suspects the food in the dining area is part of this mechanism, designed to lure victims to the cathedral. With this new understanding, Klein focuses on dealing with Demoness of Despair Panatiya, using his marionette, Wraith Senor, to create a convincing duplicate of himself.

Klein dresses the marionette in his attire, complete with Creeping Hunger on its hand, creating a perfect imitation. He recognizes that, despite this advantage, defeating Panatiya in a straight battle is unlikely due to their difference in power levels. Instead, he ponders using the marionette to control Panatiya’s Spirit Body Threads, potentially catching her off guard.

As Klein formulates his plans, he takes stock of his advantages, including his ability to disguise himself, instantaneous swapping, and his rational thinking. He realizes that Panatiya’s half-crazed state and instinctive nature may be her weaknesses. A new idea takes shape in his mind: instead of fighting to the death, Klein wonders if he can exploit Panatiya’s desire to escape the foggy town, potentially using her own desires against her.
