What It Means to Be a Clown in the Fool Pathway
When Klein first started asSeer, you saw him rely on divination, danger sense, and spirit vision. He digested his Seer potion in a record 45 days, a feat thatno Nighthawks had ever achieved. That alone marked him as exceptional, even to his own kind. Butadvancing to Clownchanges the entire game.
The test of the Clown potion was inhumane, filled with whispers and voices that could have driven him insane. And yet Klein came out more refined, lighter, and quicker than ever. Now he can twist his body with circus-perfect flexibility, numb pain, and conceal every expression.
How Strong is Klein in Sequence 8: Clown
Imagine standing against an individual whose feelings you cannot decipher, whose body never loses balance, and whose acrobatics allow him to deflect bullets or climb walls like it’s nothing. That’s Klein in the shoes of the clown.
Even worse for his enemies, he can make the simplest things turn into a weapon. Pieces of paper become steel-tipped daggers that can pierce stone and bone. Future advancements in the pathway will allow him to create decoys and illusions, but even now, his arsenal feels limitless.
Add in his heightened danger intuition, a supernatural sixth sense that warns him of threats behind doors or attacks moments before they land, and Klein has become untouchable in ways that terrify me.
What are Klein’s New Powers as the Clown
Becoming a Clown does not erase all of the things that Klein had previously learned. His divination, mysticism, and knowledge of ancient languages like Hermes and Jotun continue to expand. His time studying under Old Neil, combined with his modern-world background, gives him an advantage no other Beyonder has.
And we can’t forget theTarot Club.Derrick Berg, the Sun, was introduced in Episode 10 as a new and hopeful addition to Klein’s growing circle.As The Fool, Klein can summon members into the mysterious Gray Fog, receive prayers, and even transfer objects between them. With each new development, he can do more to manage this hidden organization.
TheSefirah Castleitself strengthens his arsenal. Within it, Klein can answer prayers, perform interference-free divination, and even use historical projections. The mystical fog enables him to seal artifacts, purify curses, and safeguard his friends. To foes, even perceiving its aura can make them go insane.
So when you ask how far The Fool can go, the honest answer is that we haven’t even glimpsed his ceiling yet.
What Makes the Fool Pathway to Clown So Terrifying?
Here’s the most haunting part. To digest a potion, you must live according to the Sequence name. As the Seer, Klein played his role by fortune-telling, rituals, and guiding others. As the Clown, he must smile through pain, wearing joy as a mask while tragedy devours him alive.
Consider it, you just saw him lose Old Neil, then step right into this cruel role. Later in the story, he even wears the mask of a Clown to comfort his siblings at his ownfake funeral(during Episode 13). That’s no longer acting; that’s living the Sequence’s irony. No wonder Klein digested the Clown potion in only 38 days. He isn’t pretending to be a Clown. He is one.
That’s what makes theFool Pathwayso terrifying. Every step forward is drenched with tragedy.The Clown sequenceisn’t agility and deception; it’s existing in lies, grief, and illusions. Klein doesn’t simply grow stronger; he becomes more dangerous to friend and foe alike as we see him lose pieces of himself behind the eternal smile.
Why Klein’s Clown Sequence Matters
Lord of Mysteries Episode 10 reminded us that madness and death are constant companions in this world. Old Neil’s fall reminded you of every Beyonder’s risks, and Klein’s advancement demonstrated the razor-thin line between survival and collapse.
Clown is Klein’s turning point. It makes him unreadable toSpectators, deadly on the battlefield, and tough enough to endure what’s coming in Backlund. From now on, his Sherlock Moriarty and Gehrman Sparrow disguises will succeed largely thanks to this Sequence.
And beyond that, Clown’s path eventually leads to illusions, duplicates, and even the manipulation of secrets themselves. That’s where The Fool is headed, and it’s a journey that will transform not only him, but the world around him.
So when you ask how far The Fool can go, the answer is simple: as far as he can keep smiling through the pain.
