After Klein looked around, he walked to the door of house number 32, took out the Master Key from his pocket, and easily opened the door.

"I wonder what the danger I divined is."

Klein whispered softly, then stepped into the house.

Leyton, who had been cautiously observing the surroundings, glanced at the evil spirit on the second floor of the house and said casually:

"The danger you divined before should refer to the evil spirit in this room, but I don't know about the divination result that changed because of me."

"Evil spirit?" Klein turned his head to look at Leyton, then more cautiously picked up the Master Key, preparing to pass through the wall, while his other hand reached into his jacket pocket and clutched a charm.

Having not observed any dangerous factors from the surrounding environment, Leyton prepared to directly deal with that evil spirit, investigate the situation, and then leave.

Leyton's figure instantly became transparent, as if he had turned into a statue formed by countless starlight. The statue shattered instantly, and brilliant starlight surged, passing through the walls and floor, arriving at the location of the evil spirit.

Fragments of starlight reassembled internally, and Leyton's figure emerged from the brilliant starlight.

"Sun!" Leyton murmured a phrase in ancient hermes, and the blue-white luminescence in his eyes became more intense, as a sacred aura of light appeared on his body.

Golden illusory flames instantly ignited out of thin air all around, emitting the vast and pervasive aura of the Sun.

As soon as the evil spirit hidden here appeared, its body was burned into drops of liquid like a candle under the scorching of the light fire. Before the evil spirit could fully manifest, it disappeared with a silent scream.

Klein used the Master Key to open a "Door" in the wall. After passing through, he saw the scene where the light fire had cleanly scorched the surroundings.

After being stunned for two seconds, Klein pointed to himself and said:

"You burned it so cleanly, how am I supposed to commune with spirits?"

Leyton paused, then waved his hand and said:

"It's fine, can you perform a divination on this house?"

"This is called nipping the danger in the bud. What if the danger you divined was pointing to this evil spirit?"

Klein shook his head slightly. He did not quite believe that this evil spirit, which was easily burned away by Leyton, would be the danger indicated by his second divination.

"Hmm?" Leyton let out a soft sound of surprise and took a few steps towards the large mirror that occupied half of the wall in the adjacent washroom.

"What's wrong?" Klein asked, puzzled.

He also followed behind Leyton, approaching the washroom.

"There's something inside the mirror."

Leyton replied.

Taking off the glasses from his nose, he handed them to Klein behind him. Leyton's eyes instantly bloomed with a rich pale purple halo.

The large mirror in the washroom, which occupied half of the wall, transformed into a dark, illusory, and not-quite-real road in Leyton's vision.

It connected with many similar things in the surrounding area to form a complex and mysterious "spider web," weaving a deep, strange, and otherworldly Mirror World different from reality.

Passing through several dark, illusory, and not-quite-real roads, Leyton saw a lady strolling.

She had a long, fair neck, small and delicate ears, and wore a simple, pure white robe with her hair loosely tied up.

Sacred, dignified, unstained by a speck of dust, with a bright and radiant appearance that made one's eyes light up. This was Leyton's first impression of her.

The other party seemed to have noticed Leyton's gaze through the mirror and slowly turned her head, her gaze penetrating the barrier of the Mirror World and falling upon Leyton.

"Gulp—" Leyton swallowed, some desires rising in his heart.

Klein looked at Leyton, who was staring at the washroom mirror, somewhat lost in thought, and asked very cautiously:

"What happened?"

Because Leyton stood at the doorway and did not rush in too much, his body just happened to block Klein's line of sight, so Klein did not see the figure in the mirror, nor was he seen by the other party.

Klein had a bad premonition. The charm he held in his hand in his jacket pocket was replaced with another, and he prepared to use a Purification charm.

Klein's words brought Leyton's silently enchanted thoughts back to reality, and he immediately said:

"You go first, as fast as possible!"

A brilliant blue light diffused in his eyes, Leyton prepared to use a rational state to resist the Demoness's charm ability in the Mirror World.

"Oh? There's also a cute little boy? Won't you come out and let big sister have a look?"

A mature female voice seemed to sound right in front of them, a blend of restraint and laziness with an indescribable charm.

It made Klein instinctively want to push Leyton aside and walk into the washroom.

Klein's body was held by Leyton's left hand, and a chill spread from his hand. Klein instantly sobered up.

He looked down at the faint layer of white frost appearing on his jacket near his shoulder and whispered:

"Thank you."

After speaking, he immediately turned around, holding the Master Key, and directly pressed his hand against a wall. Without time for divination, he walked straight in.

That lady hidden in the mirror had almost charmed him with just one sentence. If he stayed, he would only drag Leyton down.

Klein continuously passed through walls with the Master Key, constantly moving away from the house he had just been in.

The sense of danger in his heart had disappeared, and Klein prepared to open another "Door" and then stop to wait for Leyton.

After passing through another "Door," Klein saw a sexy lady wearing a simple, pure white robe with her hair loosely tied up, exuding a lazy aura.

Her beauty was flawless, and she was looking at Klein, who had stumbled through the door, with a playful expression.

"So you're so eager to come find me? I'm truly so happy!"

Her tone perfectly blended emotions like excitement, joy, shyness, and surprise.

Klein even felt that any words of refusal he might utter would be a blasphemy against her.

His spirituality's frantic warning allowed Klein to maintain his thoughts, preventing him from being charmed in that instant.

"Gulp Gulp" Klein continuously swallowed, retreating a few steps before stopping.

It wasn't that Klein didn't want to escape, but that his body was refusing; his body and consciousness were at odds.

Brilliant starlight surged from all directions, descending one after another upon Klein and the lady opposite him.

Most of the starlight instantly condensed, creating a giant transparent amber that enveloped the dazzling Demoness, confining her to her original position.

The remaining starlight cast its glow, washing away the abnormalities on Klein's body.

"Sun!" A deep voice resounded in the ears of Klein and the Demoness.

Leyton's expression softened. It was Leyton's voice; he had intentionally lowered his voice a bit.

The next moment, a magnificent, pure, and blazing pillar of light descended from the sky, enveloping the entire room. The roof of this house was completely blown off in that instant.

Terrifying high temperatures and the power of the Sun domain instantly surged forth.

Klein gripped the Master Key tightly and rushed backward. As his palm touched the door behind him, the door was directly pushed open.

Klein stumbled out onto the street. Crow Anu flew out from somewhere and landed on his shoulder.

"Run! Towards the bridge! The Church of the Lord of Storms's Punishers are coming!"

Crow Anu said on Klein's shoulder.

Klein nodded slightly. Relying on his Magician's excellent body control and intuition, Klein swiftly moved through the shadows.

As for the Master Key, Klein had a psychological shadow regarding this Mystical Item that led him directly to the enemy while escaping.

"When I get back, I'll throw it onto the gray fog. It's still better suited to quietly stay in the pile of sundries."

Klein sighed in his heart and quickened his pace.

The sacred light just now had already awakened everyone sleeping nearby, and the strong Sun aura would soon attract the Nighthawks and Punishers to deal with it. Sun believers were no different from cultists in Backlund.

"What dazzling light. How did you know I like dazzling, sunny little boys like you?"

A beautiful figure walked out of the adjacent house. The Demoness Klein had encountered earlier was merely a mirror illusion.

Responding to the Demoness were streaks of crystal-clear flowing light. The house, which had just been purified by the sacred light, was now covered with a layer of frost again.

The frost attacked Leyton, who was hidden in the shadows, with even greater ferocity.

"Playing with frost, the Demoness is the expert!"

Even her contemptuous words and voice carried an ineffable charm.

Leyton tried to dodge backward, but found his body somewhat numb and sluggish.

"Cough!" He suddenly coughed, feeling a burning sensation in his lungs.

The frost created by Leyton's spell enveloped him, the caster, as ice crystals shot up from the ground, walls, and every surrounding surface.

The instant the ice crystals touched Leyton, his body shattered, transforming into shimmering specks of starlight that surged in all directions, rapidly disappearing from the room.

"Little boys nowadays are so impolite, running off without even saying hello."

The Demoness, wearing a simple, pure white robe, said lazily, then turned to leave.

In a place covered by a layer of ice crystals, an inconspicuous piece of parchment suddenly ignited on its own.

"Hmm?" The lazy Demoness paused, then quickly walked towards a mirror and merged into it.

A dazzling flash of fire suddenly exploded, with brilliant white, orange-red, and pale blue flames intermingling, like a bomb mixed with oil paint.

"Boom!"

A massive explosion resounded, and the fire instantly engulfed several nearby houses. Hot air currents swept debris into the air, and the flames began to spread outwards.

The area seemed to have experienced a terrifying explosion, and the glass of surrounding houses was shattered.

But soon, a strong wind carried rain down, extinguishing the flames that had not yet spread.
