In King Karalam's eyes, a luminous moon, tinged with a silver-white glow, rose slowly and swiftly filled his pupils. This was unlike the common red moon, nor merely a rare blood moon—it resembled the moon's anomalous state observed not long ago, yet held a distinct difference. It illuminated Karalam's gaze and his body, severing his connection to the crimson moonlight. Thus, until he regained normalcy, Karalam could no longer attempt "lunar transformation" nor "teleport" within the range where the crimson moonlight was present. Suddenly, this "king of the moon" realm thought of a single word: "Lilith!" The ancient deity who once ruled the "moon path." This shift surprised Emlyn, yet Sharon—skilled at mastering emotions and thoughts—remained undisturbed. Even now, as Karalam's puppet, she raised her right hand and tugged at a clump of hair at her temple, a mixture of black and white. Almost simultaneously, a handful of white hairs on the head of the "Wizard King" Karalam, untouched by any attack, drifted down on their own. The "Gate of Summoning" he had just opened faded and crumbled piece by piece under the full force of the sun's light, radiating the "Pure White Vision." This was not because the angel of the Rose School, summoned, could not withstand the "Level 1" seal of the "Pure White Vision," but rather because the "Gate of Summoning" itself could not endure the intensity and nature of the attack. Moreover, the "King of Curse," Balanca, had only just extended his two hands, and his ability to manifest through space was still quite limited; the malevolent aura seeping into the real world was purified by the "Pure White Vision" and failed to reach Sharon and Emlin. At this moment, without the "Gate of Summoning" as a medium, Balanca could only retreat to his original location, waiting for the next summoning or for the "Wizard King" Karalam to offer his prayer. — As an angel, His personhood is sufficient to respond to prayers across the entire world! Upon seeing the strand of hair drift down, the Sharon-shaped puppet transformed into Karalman, it hesitated not at all—gently allowing its right hand to slide naturally from across its forehead, then grasping the exaggerated gap set with the "blood-red full moon," and suddenly pressing inward with force. Karalman emitted a piercing cry, its flesh and tissue on the forehead becoming strangely blurred, flowing into that eerie gap and obscuring the now-shrinking "full moon." This is one of the extraordinary abilities of the "Puppet" pathway at Sequence 4, known as "Source of Curse." Beyond influencing inanimate objects, "Puppets" can transform into magical puppets, enchanted paper figures, and other items, establishing connections to curse their targets through various means. This extraordinary ability undergoes a qualitative transformation at Sequence 3. Currently, it functions as a type that inflicts damage upon the enemy while also harming the puppet itself—typically, "Puppet" deities at this stage rarely employ it. In other words, the "mimes" wound themselves in order to wound their enemies. Sharon dared to do so because she was certain that, as everyone was a Sequence 4, the "ghosts" and "wight" would be more resilient than the "vampires." ——Knowing in advance that King Karalaman possessed the "General Without Eyes," a Level 1 seal, Sharon never initially expected her "ghost possession" to succeed; her primary objective was to establish a connection with Karalaman and lay the groundwork for a later curse. Removing that strand of hair marked the official beginning of the curse, while disrupting the blood-red full moon on his forehead prevented him from re-establishing the "portal" to summon the angels of the Rose Order onto the battlefield. Of course, as a half-god, Karalaman would not be so easily cursed to death. Had he done this in the past, he could have weakened the curse's effects using techniques such as "Lunar Transformation" and "Bat Form," maintaining high-speed movement while dodging attacks and reciting the divine names of the Rose School angels. But under the glow of that moon, tinged with a hint of silver, his body seemed frozen and rigid—unable to perform any such actions anymore. As Karalam's thoughts raced, the puppet "General Without Eyes" perched on his shoulder sprang to its feet, emitting a piercing cry. The surrounding glass windows shattered, transforming into countless "bullets" that shot upward toward floating Sharon. The glass orb, shaped like an eye, detached from its holder and rose on its own, casting a massive column of light woven with countless flames that descended upon her. This luminous column enveloped Sharon, illuminating the area so brightly it appeared as though day had broken. The puppet "General Without Eyes" could influence magical items that had lost their holders, enabling them to assist itself! Within the "Yang-Yin," Sharon's form, now taking on the shape of Karalan, visibly melted, her facial expressions uncontrollably distorting. A vast number of glass shards dissolved halfway into the light beams, while the other half pierced through her body. Karalan cried out once more, her voice so piercing that Emlin felt his body grow cold, his blood seeming to freeze into frost. One after another, blood-filled holes appeared on Karalan's surface, and her entire form gradually softened, much like a candle placed into a fireplace, dripping with wax. Any damage inflicted upon the "Source of the Curse" would manifest directly upon the target! As a half-god of the Rose School, Karalan undoubtedly understood this principle; thus, his previous actions had been a deliberate strategy of mutual exchange—seeking to inflict damage in return, compelling Sharon to voluntarily cease the curse. Under the divine magic of the "Sun," beings of darkness and strangeness—such as puppets, vengeful spirits, the undead, and werewolves—suffer far more severely than others like vampires, potion professors, deep-red scholars, or the King of Wizards. Thus, a continuous barrage of "Solar Flares" can directly extinguish Sharon, yet only severely wound Karalan, while the half-divine beings of the "Moon" path possess exceptional regenerative abilities. In that very instant, Karalan, the King of Wizards, drawing upon his rich experience and profound knowledge of esoteric studies, precisely identified the root of the curse and chose the method most suited to himself—one that could take effect swiftly. At the same time, Emlyn White, who had lost his "Pure White Sight" and summoned an unusual moon, had regained his composure, producing a sturdy, copper-green notebook and turning it to a specific page. A series of crackling sounds followed, and one lightning bolt after another surged into existence, weaving together to form a storm radiating an intense sense of destruction, instantly engulfing "King of the Wizards" Calaman. "Lymanno's Travel Journal," "Lightning Storm!" With his "Moonlight" and "Teleportation" abilities temporarily lost—both in intensity and range—Calaman had no chance to evade, being struck repeatedly by sharp, silver lightning. Sharon seized the opportunity to lift the "Source of the Curse" state, preventing any damage inflicted upon her target from being reflected back to her. Yet, her complexion had noticeably grown paler than before, and her breath was noticeably weakened. The "Yang Flame" beam had indeed dealt her considerable harm. The surge of silver light soon faded, and Calaman's body had now turned completely black. The charred skin and flesh peeled away continuously, while fresh tissue constantly moved and regenerated at the original sites. The general without eyes swiftly phantasmized, seeming to transform into a spirit, preparing to attach himself to Calamand and carry him across the current area, thus evading subsequent attacks. At that moment, a sudden golden-haired, red-eyed head emerged, seizing the delicate automaton's head in one bite. Calamand, still slightly numb, instinctively turned his gaze and saw a lady without a head. The lady wore a somber, elaborate Gothic gown and carried four golden-haired, red-eyed heads. Rynette Tynecor! ………… In that vast desert, where Rynette Tynecor had previously joined Azk, Arianna, and the silver-white serpent in besieging the "Divine Defect" Seara, her eyes suddenly went blank and her movements grew stiff, now acting solely by instinct. This is part of Klein's plan. Once the situation on this side stabilizes, and when the divine calamity, Suerah, is momentarily freed from immediate peril, Rhenet Tiniel's true form emerges from its hidden state and returns to the real world to assist Sharon and Emlin in swiftly resolving the battle. Glancing at the wretched mummified projection floating in the sky, Klein simultaneously directs the three angels to bind Suerah, then, instead of a traditional teleportation, uses the influence of their breath and presence to effect a series of flame-jumps, continuing his engagement with the rose-school "Wizard-king." Throughout this, he appears poised and graceful, yet he gradually realizes that the harmony between his body and soul is deteriorating—his body is becoming a prison for his spirit, making his movements increasingly stiff and heavy. This leads Klein to recall the central description of the "prisoner": Body as a prison of the mind, world as a prison of the body. With time passing, he intuitively grasped the meaning of this phrase from a different perspective. "Divine Misfortune" Seara began to value him, and even without direct attacks, he gradually suffered a silent erosion! ………… After Renee Tiniel controlled the "General Without Eyes" with one of her heads, the other head lifted her teeth and bit down firmly on the black staff. The staff, set with various gemstones, glowed with a soft, diffused radiance. A figure swiftly materialized—Germain Sparo, wearing a hat, a wind coat, and holding his "Hourglass" revolver. A streak of silver-black light shot out, precisely striking Karuman's body. Karuman's thoughts froze instantly, and his entire body became rigid, motionless. "Spirit-Controlling Bullets!" These were the "Spirit-Controlling Bullets" Germain Sparo, wielding the "Star Staff," had just fired. — The sealed objects numbered "0 to 62" allow the holder to summon extraordinary abilities and figures that manifest in reality, enabling them to launch an attack. At the same time, Sharon instantly transformed into a puppet identical to Karalman, drawing back her right hand and forcefully inserting it into her own chest. Blood erupted violently, and Karalman opened his mouth, yet could not utter a sound. For the "ghostly spirits," the heart was no vital point, but for a vampire, it was extremely critical. Without giving Karalman the chance to withstand the blow, Emlin flipped through "Leiman's Travel Notes" once more, activating the recorded "image of the historical rift," and then produced the "Cross of No Shadow," heavily tarnished with copper rust. He pressed his fingers firmly onto the sharp spike, allowing blood to flow steadily, thus purifying the cross's surface. Instantly, a lance of pure, intensely white light coalesced. When Sharon lifted the "Source of the Curse," Emlin launched this lance of light, watching it pierce King Caralam right through the chest, driving him firmly against the wall high up in the church. The brilliant light surged and expanded, completely extinguishing Caralam's final breath. "The Lance of No Darkness!" ... Within the vast desert, Caine suddenly halted, turning to the "Divine Defect" Seara and to the King of the Wizards, removing his hat and placing his hand to his chest in a formal bow. His form then gradually faded and vanished. Throughout this process, Caine felt no concern about being interrupted, because it wasn't he who had attempted to leave—rather, it was Renette Tinihcor who had dissolved the sustaining presence of the historical fissure's image. This meant that the actions on the other battlefield had been successfully achieved.
