Chapter 238 The Third Ladder "Blood Dancer"
In the hall of Fisher Manor.
"You're finally back, Darren."
Vanessa smiled and nodded slightly, and even the serious Theo smiled.
Finally returning to the Fisher family, Darren felt unprecedented relaxation in his heart at this moment, as if a string that had been tense for years finally had a chance to relax.
His important family members were all around him, celebrating the safe return of their loved one, and Lillian and the others were all excited.
"Felix, this is your father."
Of Darren's three women, only Faye was in Nasir Town. She excitedly brought young Felix to the town and asked her child to go see the father she had not seen for many years.
Felix was neatly dressed in a little tuxedo. He looked up and saw Darren's terrifying face. He couldn't help feeling a little scared deep in his heart and subconsciously took a step back.
But after hesitating, he still stepped forward reluctantly and said respectfully:
"Father, hello, you are finally back. We all missed you very much."
Darren lowered his head and looked thoughtfully at the boy who was trembling slightly, full of fear, but had to maintain etiquette, and then he showed a smile that was scarier than a devil.
"Hahaha, Felix, your personality is actually more like Faye than mine."
Felix didn't understand what he meant, but Faye smiled and said gently:
"It seems like there's nothing wrong with me. Do you hate my personality? Speaking of which, Darren, can't you let Lillian treat your face? It scared the child."
Darren laughed, reached out and gently touched the boy's head, and smiled to himself:
"Oh, about this face, I deliberately let Lillian treat me later. I wanted to experience it one last time...others are afraid of my gaze."
"What a pity, you guys are not afraid of me, haha!"
Then Darren looked at Lillian, and his sister nodded. The next moment she released the power of the Soul Returning Tree and quickly began to heal Darren's hideous and ugly appearance.
The flesh and blood regenerated, the skin healed, and the hideous burn scars turned back into good skin. Darren recovered as if he had been reborn.
"ah?"
Felix looked in amazement at his father, who had been like a monster, and gradually turned into a tall and handsome man. He felt very strange deep down.
"Father!"
He couldn't help but shout out excitedly.
Darren's bright eyes sparkled with wisdom, and his skin, which had been painful for a long time, finally recovered and the pain disappeared.
It was a long-lost feeling of comfort, and he couldn't help but moan several times.
“So cool! Hahahaha!”
Seeing his son's reaction, Darren couldn't help laughing, then he suddenly squatted down, hugged his son, and said loudly:
"Hahahaha! What's the matter, kid? Are you just looking at appearance? Your father has become more handsome, so you dare to get close to him?"
Felix was embarrassed, his eyes were shy and anxious, and he kept saying, "No, no, it's not like that, Father! Woo…"
Christine in the wheelchair shook her head and said, "It's a good thing that Darren is back."
Kano smiled and put his arms behind his head. He squinted his eyes and joked: "Felix has a serious personality and is really suitable for being teased. Oh no, he will be teased often in the future. After all, there is more than one person in the family who likes to tease people."
Everyone couldn't help laughing, but no one would really blame a young child.
"I'm sorry, please forgive me, I'm sorry..."
Felix bit his lips tightly, and finally he couldn't help crying and burst into tears on the spot, but he didn't even dare to cry loudly, just shed small tears.
"Okay, okay, I don't blame you, Felix."
Darren smiled and tried to comfort the child, knowing that the little guy had been brought up a little too seriously by Faye, in simple terms, he was what you would call a "good student".
Hehe, actually it’s not a particularly bad personality.
At least it’s much better than when I was a kid, hahahaha!
Afterwards, Darren asked Faye to take the crying Felix away, turned to look at Lillian, and asked, "Father and Uncle Chris, do they still have no definite news?"
Lillian nodded slightly and said very seriously:
"Yes, not only my father and Uncle Chris are missing, but also Viscount Best, Acting Bishop Zain, and the first heir of the Roman family, 'Dragon Tamer' Aldridge are missing... Oh, and Director Renzo."
She almost forgot about Renzo. Compared to those other people, the police chief of Finn City was not a big shot.
Lillian continued:
"More than half a year is not the longest breakthrough time, so no one has given up hope. They think that maybe the breakthrough monarch is not over yet... The more important reason is that both the Lion Family and the Roman Family do not have the spare energy to search for them on a large scale before the war is over."
"Now that the war is over, I'm afraid that the Lion Family and the Roman Family will try to find people in various places on the East Coast. After all, those who are missing are important members of each family."
Darren nodded slightly, smiled, and said optimistically:
"I don't think we need to worry too much. My father and Uncle Chris are both smart enough and have a lot of experience. They won't get into trouble easily."
"Maybe my father and Uncle Chris are just trapped somewhere, just like me back then."
Lillian thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "I prayed to the great Lord of the Lost, and the oracle I received said that they were trapped somewhere, so there was no need to worry too much."
"I trust the judgment of the great Lord of the Lost."
Because of Byrne and Chris's prayers, Carl naturally knew that they were trapped in the Valley of Bones after receiving the prayers. However, he didn't know where that place was, and Byrne and Chris couldn't explain it clearly in their prayers, so he couldn't guide the Fisher family to rescue them.
But Carl could vaguely feel that the place did not pose much of a threat to Byrne and Chris, but instead could potentially create opportunities.
"I have mastered the second step of the Shadow Path, the 'Ghost' sequence power."
Darren gazed back at his sister, smiling as he prepared to take the next step.
"good!"
Lillian nodded seriously, feeling extremely happy. The Fisher family was very short of fighting power at that time, so it was important to have one more person stepping onto the third step!
Darren continued:
"Oh, by the way, my bloodline power may be about to break through the qualitative level. I need the next stage of fire training inheritance and magic potions to assist in the breakthrough."
At this moment, Vanessa suddenly said:
"Well, my spellcasting ability may also break through the middle level of qualitative change, but it is not very stable yet. It may take a few years for me to truly reach that level."
Everyone couldn't help but look at Vanessa, realizing that with Byrne and Chris not around, she was actually on the verge of becoming the strongest person in the Fisher family.
Lillian sighed and continued, "I have only recently developed a second devout person on the island. He is a native of the island who was tamed by our great faith with great difficulty. It will take time for me to break through to the third level."
Darren nodded slightly and said, "It's okay, we just need to keep working hard. By the way, I'm going to see Lao Gou in a while."
He paused, then asked calmly, "Come to think of it, there is no half-elf coming to Nasir Town?"
Lillian was stunned for a moment and shook her head.
“I see…”
Finally, Darren stepped onto the third step of the Road of Shadows!
The third step of the Shadow Road.
"Blood Dancer"!
Its image in the spiritual world is an old woman bathed in blood, dancing constantly, with a crazy smile on her face.
Darren took a deep breath and clenched his fists. He could feel a significant improvement in his strength. His physical fitness increased by 35, while his spiritual strength increased by 35.
He gained an extraordinary characteristic called "Blood Spirit Body". Every drop of his blood can be automatically controlled by spiritual power, and he can quickly heal the injuries of his flesh and blood at any time. However, his spiritual power will continue to be consumed as a result.
To put it simply, it is similar to the effect of "spiritual power transforming into life power" during the transformation period. The disadvantage is that the consumption will be greater, and it cannot be used continuously for too many times, and it also cannot repair bones.
In addition to the extraordinary characteristic "Blood Spirit Body", Darren also obtained the extraordinary power "Blood Arrow" and the ritual spell "Blood Dance".
Blood Arrows means that Darren can manipulate the blood that touches his skin and shoot it out like an arrow. It is a very high-speed long-range attack.
He tried it, using the blade to cut a small wound on his finger, then raised his hand and let drops of blood fly out. They instantly turned into arrows and hit the surrounding walls, leaving several deep holes.
"What are you doing here! Wait until you get outside before trying again!"
Lillian's face turned pale in the basement. Darren immediately admitted his mistake and said that he lost control of himself for a moment.
"Um……"
He thought silently, the blood arrows were fired very quickly and with high accuracy, and their range could easily exceed a hundred meters.
However, their damage capability is only slightly better than that of flintlock rifles, and they may not be good at dealing with enemies with strong defensive capabilities.
The last supernatural power is the ritual spell "Blood Dance".
He needs to collect the fresh blood of at least ten people, use the blood to draw a rather complicated magic circle on the ground, and then perform a complicated and tedious weird dance on the magic circle, which will last for several hours. Then he can summon a dead person he has killed and drive him at will.
Any deceased person killed by the Blood Dancer can be awakened by the Blood Dancer no matter how strong they were in life, and can retain most of their previous strength, but the duration of their existence depends on the spiritual power of the Blood Dancer himself.
Even if Darren went to great lengths to summon a powerful undead being at the monarch level, he could not guarantee that the monarch undead could fully launch even one full-strength attack. Basically, Darren would be drained of all his spiritual power in an instant.
Darren smiled with satisfaction, stroked his chin and said to himself:
"Although it is complicated and laborious and does not last long, the summoned powerful monarch is enough to kill any extraordinary person below the upper level of qualitative change in seconds even if he strikes casually."
"Okay, now the question is, where can I find a powerful monarch to kill?"
Of course, that kind of thing is probably impossible!
