Chapter 526 – Dream of Eternity
Deacon Cordoba Roye leads two Mandated Punisher teams to ambush Blazing Danitz and Steel Maveti at 15 Amyris Avenue, utilizing Sealed Artifacts 2-37 and 2-166 to gain the upper hand. The Dream of Eternity, Sealed Artifact 2-37, has the power to put all creatures within its fifty-meter radius into a long, uncontrollable dream. Meanwhile, Sealed Artifact 2-166 can maintain object temperatures and even change the weather, but its negative effects include infecting objects with life-like characteristics, making them believe in the Eternal Blazing Sun.
As Cordoba Roye and his team lay in wait, Blazing Danitz appears, unaware of the trap set for him. The Mandated Punishers spring into action, activating Sealed Artifact 2-37, which envelops the house in darkness and causes the pirates to fall into a dream-like state. Amidst the chaos, Adventurer John Smith, who had been watching Blazing Danitz, remains unaffected, but the pirates’ reality is distorted, causing them to behave erratically.

Chapter 527 – A Quick Battle
As Klein descends from the sky, his golden gloves shining like the sun, he unleashes a barrage of powers that send Steel Maveti and his companions reeling. With Creeping Hunger and Psychic Piercing, Klein stirs up Steel’s grayish-white brain, causing his Beyonder powers to erupt into a hurricane. The snowy landscape around them withers, and the air is filled with the wails of remnant spirits.
Meanwhile, Blood Brambles Hendry attempts to save Steel Maveti with magic, but is thwarted by a swarm of flaming ravens summoned by Klein. Hendry retaliates with a sea of dark blue waves, but the Fire Ravens persist. Steel Maveti, already weakened, is further debilitated by Klein’s subsequent attacks, including a purifying beam of light that melts his skin and flesh.
Despite Squall’s attempts to intervene, Steel Maveti is repeatedly beset by Klein’s Air Bullets and Psychic Piercing, leaving him badly wounded and reeling. As the battle rages on, Steel Maveti’s monstrous strength and resilience are put to the test, but Klein’s cunning and versatility seem to always be one step ahead.
Chapter 528 – Grazing
Klein, still reeling from his previous battle, uses Danitz’s cloak to move stealthily through the alleys, eventually finding a secluded spot to Graze Steel Maveti’s soul. With Creeping Hunger, he manages to extract three Beyonder powers from Maveti’s spirit: a Zombie’s critical attack, mastery over ice, and the ability to manipulate zombies. As Klein rummages through Maveti’s belongings, he finds a collection of peculiar items and 26 pounds in cash, but no mystical items.
Meanwhile, Cordoba Roye and the Mandated Punisher team arrive at the scene, only to find Steel Maveti’s corpse and a bounty notice with a 6,000-pound reward. They suspect that the killer might not be a believer of the Sun, but rather someone who used a mystical item’s powers. The team’s Knowledge Keeper detective concludes that the evil feeling stems from flesh and blood, making it unlikely to be a Sun believer.
As the investigation unfolds, Cordoba wonders if the killer might be from the Aurora Order, leaving the Mandated Punisher team and readers alike curious about the identity and motives of the mysterious figure.
Chapter 529 – Tacitness
Blazing Danitz returns to the Wind of Azure Inn, hesitant to face Gehrman Sparrow again after witnessing his terrifying combat abilities and powers. Danitz pieces together the truth about Creeping Hunger, a glove that can use the souls of many Beyonders for Grazing, and realizes Gehrman Sparrow is its current owner. This revelation only increases Danitz’s reverence for the madman, as he believes Gehrman’s strength and combat experience are key to utilizing the mystical item.
Danitz enters the luxurious suite, where Gehrman Sparrow awaits, and reports on spreading the news about Blazing killing Steel Maveti and others. However, he’s stunned to learn that Gehrman didn’t take the heads, forfeiting the 6,000-pound bounty. Instead, Gehrman offers Danitz a choice between 3,000 pounds in cash and a Flying Carpet, leaving Danitz torn between the monetary gain and the valuable item, which would provide him with a unique advantage at sea.
As the countdown begins, Danitz must make a decision quickly, weighing his options carefully and considering the implications of his choice, all while dealing with the looming presence of the enigmatic Gehrman Sparrow.
Chapter 530 – Chronicles
As Klein begins to communicate with the newly released Nightmare, Davy Raymond, he learns about the Red Glove’s tragic past and his unfulfilled wishes. Davy shares his story of tracking down ancient chronicles related to Death’s passing, only to be attacked by Qilangos’s fleet, resulting in the death of his companions and his own demise. Klein discovers that Davy had a daughter, Neelu, and vows to visit her and ensure she receives her father’s pension.
Klein extracts valuable information from Davy, including the location of his daughter in Conant City and the name of the tycoon, Jimmy Necker, who collected Death’s chronicles. As Davy’s figure dissipates, Klein makes a promise to visit Neelu and checks off his mental to-do list. He now aims to investigate Jimmy Necker’s fate, potentially involving Qilangos’s crew and Vice Admiral Ailment, Tracy.
With Davy’s Beyonder characteristic in hand, Klein refocuses on Death’s chronicles, considering the Church’s potential involvement and the possibility of seeking Mr. Azik’s help. As the night wears on, Klein decides to summarize his experiences and lessons from the operation, his mind still racing with the secrets and mysteries that lie ahead.
Chapter 531 – Great Acting
Danitz ponders Gehrman Sparrow’s true motives, suspecting a powerful organization backing him, and vows to protect his captain from potential danger. Meanwhile, Klein, now disguised as Wendt, arrives on Symeem Island, excited to investigate Jimmy Necker, the tycoon who collected Death’s chronicles. As he explores the local port town, he calculates his current finances, feeling content with his earnings from recent pirate hunts and his remaining assets, including the Nightmare Beyonder characteristic and the murloc’s bladder.
Klein’s thoughts wander to his future, imagining himself settling down in a beautiful countryside manor, and considers selling the Nightmare Beyonder characteristic to the Church of Evernight. He hopes Little Sun will soon reach Sequence 7, granting him clearance to remove the mental corruption from the characteristic. For now, he’s in no rush to release the Priest of Light from the glove, as Little Sun has just received the potion formula for Sequence 7.
With his new appearance, Klein merges with the crowd, asking about Raine’s situation and any news of Wendt’s death, all while keeping a low profile. As he blends in, he remains vigilant, aware that his actions might be monitored by Gehrman Sparrow’s mysterious organization.
Chapter 532 – Lord “Caucasian”
Klein, disguised as Wendt, delivers a forged death notice to the sergeant of Symeem Harbor, aiming to protect Raine from the potential heartbreak of Wendt’s disappearance. He uses his Slumber Charm to camouflage his true intentions, hoping to minimize the impact on Raine’s life. However, Klein can’t shake off the feeling that his actions, though well-intentioned, are still cruel and manipulative.
As he explores the town, Klein attempts to check into the local inn, but his new face lacks an ID certificate. He’s denied entry, and his attempt to bribe the boss with a soli note backfires. It’s only when he transforms back into Gehrman Sparrow that he’s able to secure a room, sans ID requirements. The pragmatic world of Symeem Harbor operates on a different set of rules, where the right accent and appearance can get you further than wealth.
As Klein settles into his quiet room, he can’t help but think about the moral implications of his actions as a Faceless. He’s forced to confront the darker aspects of his Beyonder path, where even well-meant intentions can lead to corruption and evil.
Chapter 533 – Mr. 4,200 Pounds
Klein, still cautious despite receiving a negative response from his divination, takes extra precautions in his room at the inn, using essential oil and the gray fog to ensure his safety. He suspects that the adventurers who found the ancient temple on Symeem Island may have stirred up evil spirits, which could be the reason for his initial misgiving. As he waits, he senses a subtle spirituality fluctuation that soon dissipates, and he decides to bide his time, aware that the cathedral and Mandated Punishers team are nearby.
Meanwhile, Danitz, in disguise, is at the Bayam, Amyris Leaf Bar, pretending to be drunk and rowdy. He eavesdrops on a conversation about Steel Maveti’s death, allegedly at the hands of Blazing Danitz and a mysterious, powerful adventurer. The patrons of the bar are skeptical about Danitz’s involvement, but the news of Steel’s demise has spread, and his bounty has increased to 4,200 pounds.
As the night wears on, Klein continues to be vigilant, while Danitz remains undercover, gathering more information about the events surrounding Steel’s death. The atmosphere is tense, with an underlying sense of foreboding, as both characters navigate the complex web of intrigue and danger in Symeem Harbor.
Chapter 534 – A Dream Lesson
Klein succumbs to exhaustion after a tense night, retreating to his bedroom to rest. Meanwhile, Danitz, still undercover, falls asleep in the reclining chair, only to be startled by a knock on the door. As he opens it, he’s surprised to see his captain, Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina Edwards, standing before him. Danitz is initially alarmed, but Edwina calmly reveals that she’s accessed his dream through a secret ritualistic magic, allowing her to communicate with him from afar.
As Danitz recounts the events that have transpired in Bayam, including his recruitment attempt gone awry and Steel Maveti’s assassination, Edwina listens intently, her expression unreadable. Despite Danitz’s warnings about Gehrman Sparrow’s danger, Edwina remains calm, speculating that Sparrow may not have ill intentions. This only adds to Danitz’s frustration, as he senses that both his captain and Sparrow are enigmatic figures with whom he can’t have a straightforward conversation.
The conversation between Danitz and Edwina raises more questions than answers, leaving the reader wondering about the true nature of Gehrman Sparrow and the mysterious organization backing him. As the chapter comes to a close, Danitz’s situation remains precarious, and the stakes are higher than ever, with the dark forces of Symeem Harbor looming in the shadows.
Chapter 535 – Fond of Teaching
Danitz, still reeling from his captain’s unexpected visit, decides to facilitate a conversation between Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina Edwards and Gehrman Sparrow. As Edwina questions Klein, he’s forced to feign nonchalance, revealing his university education and mastery of various languages, much to Danitz’s surprise. Edwina’s unflappable demeanor and patient attitude evoke a sense of familiarity in Klein, who’s reminded of his own past life.
Edwina thoughtfully responds to Klein’s questions, providing detailed information about Beyonder creatures at sea, specifically the Naga tribe’s quest for an underwater city. However, she disappoints Klein by not mentioning mermaids. Her cryptic explanation of the law of convergence of Beyonder characteristics leaves Klein pondering the possibilities, and her hypothetical solution to removing mental corruption only serves to emphasize the insurmountable challenge.
As the conversation continues, Klein’s thoughts wander to Edwina’s impressive knowledge of mysticism, rivaling his own, and her alleged ability to replicate Beyonder powers. He’s forced to rein in his curiosity, nodding thoughtfully as he ponders the implications of their exchange. The air remains thick with tension, and the stakes continue to escalate as the mysterious forces of Symeem Harbor loom in the shadows.
Chapter 536 – Local Faith
As the conversation between Klein and Edwina continues, Danitz’s mind races with the implications of their exchange, particularly when Klein reveals his intention to hunt the notorious Admiral of Blood Senor. Danitz is shocked, aware of the formidable power and influence of the seven Pirate Admirals. Edwina’s knowledge of the Rose School of Thought and her connection to the mysterious organization backing Klein only add to the intrigue.
Edwina’s sudden departure, triggered by Roselle’s Dream Spell reaching its limits, leaves Danitz reeling. He struggles to come to terms with the revelation that he will have to follow Klein, aka Gehrman Sparrow, who seems to be a madman with a reckless disregard for danger. Danitz’s attempt to extricate himself from the situation is thwarted, and he’s left to grapple with the weight of his new responsibility.
As the chapter concludes, Klein and Danitz set out to visit the local faction, with Danitz providing guidance on how to blend in with the native population. The power dynamics between Klein and Danitz are palpable, with Klein’s enigmatic smile and Danitz’s growing unease foreshadowing the challenges to come.
Chapter 537 – Excessive Spiritual Perception
Klein and Danitz visit the local faction, led by Kalat, a wheelchair-bound man with a shaved head and a calm demeanor. As they enter the cramped living room, Klein surveys the room, noting the presence of exotic, dark-skinned natives armed with various weapons. Kalat’s gaze lingers on Klein, sensing his strength and potentially identifying him as the powerful adventurer who aided Danitz in killing Blood Brambles Hendry and Steel Maveti.
Kalat presents a mission to Klein and Danitz, offering them a choice of supernatural items on the table in exchange for completing the task. The mission is to find out where a group of individuals, including the female archaeologist and adventurer Leticia Dolera, are hiding. Klein recognizes Leticia from their encounters last night and this morning, suspecting her of being a member of the Moses Ascetic Order or the Element Dawn.
As the negotiation unfolds, Klein’s enigmatic presence and Danitz’s growing unease become increasingly apparent, hinting at the challenges and dangers that lie ahead.

Chapter 538 – Dispel
Danitz’s world is turned upside down as he follows Gehrman Sparrow, aka Klein, through the streets, only to encounter a venomous snake and pairs of cold, vertical eyes watching them from the shadows. The atmosphere grows increasingly unsettling, and Danitz’s unease mounts as he senses the presence of something powerful and ominous. As they enter the Wind of Azure Inn, Danitz’s breathing stagnates, and he’s overcome by a feeling of being pressed down by a heavy torrent of water, as if he’s drowning in an endless blue ocean.
Klein’s mysterious powers seem to be escalating, and Danitz suspects that the Ocean God’s curse might be the cause, triggered by the bone sword. Panic sets in as Danitz realizes Klein might be doomed, and he’s torn between saving him or fleeing to avoid implication. Klein, meanwhile, retreats to the bedroom, his dark brown eyes taking on an azure-blue hue as he begins to chant and takes steps in a counterclockwise manner.
In the gray fog, Klein’s Spirit Body appears, and he’s met with an earsplitting howl. He finds himself in an ancient palace, faced with an illusory sea serpent coiled around a pillar, its fangs dripping with blood and mucus. The serpent’s wild thrashing sets off ripples, threatening to bring down the ruins, and Klein stands motionless, awaiting his next move.
Chapter 539 – Late-night Operations
Kalat and Edmonton are left stunned and speechless after the holy sword shatters, echoing the ominous sentences “When an outsider picks up that holy sword, God will walk the land again” and “What happens if the holy sword shatters?” The two are now faced with the daunting task of figuring out what this sudden event means, feeling a mix of emotions mirroring the day their families were massacred by the Loen military.
Meanwhile, Danitz is tasked by Klein to post a series of posters around the Cathedral of Waves, detailing the events surrounding Leticia Dolera and the Sea God Kalvetua’s ruin. Danitz is nervous and worried, fearing the consequences of posting such sensitive information. As he glances over the content, he becomes even more fearful, realizing that Klein’s organization might be more powerful than he initially thought.
Klein remains cryptic, revealing little about his plan or the sources of his information. Danitz is left to wonder about the true extent of Klein’s powers and the secrets he keeps, making him increasingly uneasy about his own safety. With the posters set to garner immense attention from the Church of Storms, Danitz’s fate hangs in the balance, leaving him to wonder if he’ll be able to escape the consequences of his actions.
