Chapter 153 The fourth level "The Killer"!
The second cell held a dwarf who was mad and kept shouting weird things like "I am Antusen" and "It turns out Antusen woke up from my body".
Almost none of his sentences had complete logic, and his eyes were bloodshot.
It is said that the dwarf was originally a banker, but later entered the spirit world through drugs purchased from "Black Eyes". When he woke up, he became mad and killed several bank employees for no reason. He almost went on a killing spree in the city of Fein.
Chris was silent for a while, then swung the dagger to kill the other person, ending his already crazy life.
Antusen?
What on earth is that?
He had occasionally heard that some extraordinary people who died in the spiritual world would often dream of fragments of life in another place after waking up, as if they were no longer themselves in reality, but the person living in the dream.
Moreover, the name of the person they all dreamed of was "Antuson", which was very strange and scary.
Later, those people's behavior will gradually change to be inhumane.
There have been several murders caused by "Antuson", and now all major churches have issued important instructions that anyone who claims to be "Antuson" will be arrested.
The spiritual power in the deepest part of his soul continued to boil, and Chris knew in his heart that he was getting closer to completing the promotion ceremony.
The third cell.
The person imprisoned inside was a girl with an extremely charming appearance, who many people could not take their eyes off after taking one look at her.
There was no dirt on her body and she had no wounds at all, which made her look very strange in the cell.
The girl was so beautiful and pure, as if she was the most innocent person in the world, making it hard for anyone to bear the heart to kill her.
Chris heard that she was a spellcaster with psychic talent, and was actually a little older than himself. The "girl" had enchanted an entire village and made them her slaves, but was later caught on the spot by a search party from the Church of the Storm.
"Who are you? Please save me!"
The girl looked at him pitifully, thinking in her heart how to seduce him in exchange for a chance to escape. Then she was stabbed deeply in the neck by the silver dagger and died unbelievably.
Chris pulled out the dagger, wiped off the blood, and said to himself calmly:
“Not even close.”
His spirituality was constantly boiling, surpassing the state when he was promoted to the third level. He felt unprecedented inspiration and could even hear some whispers around him that did not exist.
Ordinary people might be terrified and afraid of those mysterious whispers, while extraordinary people would be full of vigilance and awe.
But he didn't hate this feeling at all. He wasn't afraid or scared. Instead, he found it very interesting.
Great Lord of the Lost, please protect me and allow me to come into contact with more powerful forces so that I can serve you further and protect my family.
Then, Chris finally came to the fourth cell, where he saw a middle-aged dragonborn with a face covered with scales.
He is a priest of the heretic "The Last Blood". This group of people also calls themselves the Witch Hermitage. They are a group of lunatics who worship the Witch of the End. They used to be a powerful sect in the Lorn Empire. In recent decades, they seem to have come to the East to look for witch candidates in Syat.
Those things have nothing to do with Chris.
The other person's eyes were cold and he had no intention of communicating at all, so Chris killed him directly.
The dagger swung again, taking the opponent's life without emotion.
The several extraordinary people he killed in succession, except for the female spellcaster, were all people of some power in the East China Sea. It seemed that Zain was determined to sacrifice their lives.
Then, Chris was surprised to find that the boiling spirituality was still a little short of it.
There was no completion of the ritual, nor any sign of increasing the seething sensation.
He suddenly realized that there seemed to be no need to kill the next person, and maybe even the fourth person didn't need to be killed.
The first step of the promotion ceremony to the fourth step of the Path of Tranquility is to kill twelve extraordinary people at the origin level or the first and second steps. The second step is to kill three extraordinary people at the qualitative change level or the third and fourth steps. The next step is the third step...
The ceremony of advancing to the fourth level of the Path of Tranquility is highly related to death and sin, but now that it has come to this, who can I kill?
"impossible."
Chris fell into deep thought. He wouldn't ask himself to kill another guilty person at the monarch level, right?
No matter how you think about it, it's absolutely impossible.
The difficulty is really too exaggerated. It would be more or less the same if it were the ceremony for advancing to the fifth level of the Path of Tranquility.
He fell into deep thought and suddenly found a possibility.
Perhaps, only those who truly understand the Path of Silence can understand and comprehend the last step of this ritual, while ordinary people will never be able to comprehend its true meaning.
Could that be the case?
Chris left the cell quietly, and just as Zain was about to take them to the fifth cell, he shook his head, indicating that it was no longer necessary.
"No?"
Zain was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly, a smile on his face.
"Okay, but you can't lose what you promised to trade. You can't lose the copy of the bottled sunshine technology and the inheritance."
Naturally, Byrne couldn’t go back on his word, so he smiled and replied, “Of course, the Fisher family thanks you for your generosity, Bishop Zain.”
Although Zain was only the acting bishop, he always knew what the correct title was.
In fact, the Fisher family suffered a bit of a loss in this transaction, but the most important thing was that it gave Chris the opportunity to break through to the fourth level.
Moreover, Byrne also wanted to suffer a loss in his heart. As an inferior, when he was doing business with this powerful figure in the church on the East Coast, he must not let the other party feel that he was at a disadvantage.
You may feel that you have made a profit for a while, but if you offend the other party, you will be in big trouble.
On the contrary, the more Acting Bishop Zain felt that he had made a lot of money, the more willing he was to continue cooperating with the Fisher family. Who doesn't like to take advantage?
In the long run, it is actually very beneficial to the Fischer family.
After leaving Storm Cathedral, Byrne wanted to ask Chris what was going on, but he found that Chris seemed to be in deep thought and paid no attention to the people and things around him, so he did not ask any more questions.
Byrne knew something was missing.
He accompanied Chris silently as they left Finn City, remaining quiet the entire time.
They both got on the carriage and left Fein City. When they returned to Nasir Town, Chris still didn't say a word.
Byrne remained silent, even prepared for the failure of the promotion ceremony.
The lobby of Fisher House.
Finally, Chris came to his sister Irene and stared at her in silence for a long time.
His eyes were extremely deep, as if he was thinking about something.
"Chris? What are you thinking about?"
Irene keenly felt that something was wrong. She knew her brother too well and had never seen him fall into such a state of deep thought or obsession.
It seemed as if Chris really wanted to think through some essential things.
“…”
Suddenly, Chris smiled.
It was a smile that was beyond life and death, and coupled with his otherworldly appearance, it had a stunning beauty.
Those who embark on the path of silence are quiet bystanders standing tall in the world.
Since he wants to bring death to those who are full of sin, he will naturally not exclude himself who is already stained with sin.
It is almost impossible for anyone who embarks on the path of silence to be free from sin.
Kill the sinners.
The blood of sinners was used as a sacrifice.
The last sacrifice in the ceremony and the most important sinner is oneself.
He slowly took out the dagger, manipulated his spiritual power so that the "lethal" supernatural property would not take effect, and then suddenly stabbed the dagger into his heart.
"puff!"
Then, Chris's body continued to tremble, and he slowly fell down in the surprised eyes of everyone.
“Chris!”
Irene screamed subconsciously, then immediately reached out her hand to save him, but Chris calmly grabbed her hand and signaled to his sister to wait a moment with his eyes, as it was not the right time yet.
"Is this the last level?"
Byrne also squatted down, anxiously watching Chris gradually lose signs of life.
"No, he's really going to die!"
Irene held her brother's hand tightly. Although she did not feel fear deep in her heart, a strong sadness gradually welled up in her.
Even if she couldn't break through successfully and the promotion ceremony failed, she couldn't let Chris die!
You can't die!
Chris!
The great God has promised me that you will be saved!
His promise is like the rule of the rising sun, which can never fail in any way!
At this moment, all over the East Coast Province, the bodies of all those killed by Chris in the promotion ceremony began to change. Their bodies gradually turned into cold boiling blood, and then disappeared out of thin air.
Green trees appeared in Irene's eyes, and the healing power like a spring breeze slowly flowed, gradually saving Chris who was on the verge of death.
Suddenly, Irene and Byrne saw a large amount of black blood gushing out from the ground around them, which was very strange. The next moment, it actually flowed into Chris's wound continuously.
"What on earth is going on?"
They were both stunned, and Byrne suddenly moved Irene's hand away and shook his head firmly.
"It cannot be treated with external force. He has indeed completed the last step! Wait a little longer!"
Irene was silent for a while, and finally nodded.
"I believe in you."
She closed her eyes and couldn't help but pray to the Lord of Loss in her heart.
Great God.
I beg you, please don't ever take Chris' life away!
The Fisher family is still fulfilling its promise to you!
After all the black blood flowed into the wound in his heart, the wound on Chris' chest slowly healed, and the signs of life that had almost completely disappeared gradually returned. It was simply a miracle!
Then he suddenly opened his eyes.
I can feel the intense spiritual boiling, and some extremely powerful force rising from the depths of my soul. It is a powerful force that is completely different from any before!
The fourth step on the path to tranquility!
Sequence power, "Sin Killer"!
