Chapter 470: The Seventh Step "Blade of Death"
"Is it over?"
Chris suddenly spoke up.
His voice was unusually hoarse, and sounded heavier than usual.
It was at this moment that Darren realized that even a person like Chris who seemed to have no emotions at all, carried something heavy in his heart. Fortunately, some of that "weight" would be away from him.
And will stay away from yourself.
Well, that’s where the “sense of relief” comes from.
But apart from that, there are already too many "weights" in my life, and I will never be able to get rid of them, just like my father and grandfather.
They all died because of it.
But it is also because of the "weight" that cannot be shaken off that it is eternal.
Darren nodded.
"Well, at least the battle is over for today."
"At least……"
"Our fate with the Meyer family is about to end completely."
However, compared to the burden brought by so many "weights", he is more proud of those "weights". He also feels that as a "ship", he may be more like a moody and unpredictable ghost ship, which may be so radical that it may make the crew members even more afraid.
"We have no way back. Once we set sail, we must move forward to the end."
——
The Syat army led by the Fisher family has already defeated the three main forces of the Syat people of the three countries.
Moreover, they themselves suffered almost no damage.
In fact, this is also a matter of course, because the existence of Carl's great power itself is extraordinary, and the strength and influence of the Fischer family have been snowballing in recent decades, so their true strength is much higher than on paper.
In the next few weeks, the Syarts began to sweep across the battlefield. Because the main forces of the three coalition forces had been destroyed, the remaining remnants were simply insignificant and could only be surrounded and scattered to escape.
Destroy with overwhelming force.
The Syat people broke through the defenses of the remaining troops with great force. Due to their huge advantages in intelligence and morale, they quickly occupied key strategic points, cutting off the retreat and supply lines of the remaining troops. At the same time, they used the air support of the monarchs to launch a fierce attack on the remaining troops, further weakening their combat effectiveness.
Under the swift offensive of the Syat people, the defense line of the remaining troops of the Three Kingdoms would soon be broken, and the soldiers began to fall into chaos and panic. They abandoned their weapons and equipment and chose to flee or surrender.
Due to the loss of organization, the remaining troops were quickly and completely defeated by the Syat people.
This defeat was devastating, resulting in heavy casualties and material losses, and completely destroying the morale of the remaining troops, making it difficult for them to organize effective resistance.
With the defeat of the remaining troops, the situation on the battlefield changed rapidly.
The Syatites began to occupy more territory and resources, further consolidating their strategic position, while the remaining troops could only retreat step by step and were eventually completely driven out of Syat.
Finally, Chris Fischer stepped onto the seventh step.
Yes, he completed the ritual.
Participated in killing three enemies he could identify with... One of them was Cardinal "The Destroyer" of the Reforged Church, and the other was "Lord of Blood and Flame" Fram Meyer of the Meyer family.
There is no doubt that both the "Destroyer" and the "Lord of Blood and Flame" are qualified strong men.
Their strength is not only in physical strength, but also in mentality. Deep in their hearts they have strong persistence and fighting spirit, as well as the belief that they can sacrifice their lives.
Some qualities are more difficult to find than strength, yet truly strong people often possess these qualities.
However, what surprised Darren and the others was that, after Chris completed his third goal, he actually had a third enemy that he recognized.
In fact, the sacrifice in the last ceremony was not even a powerful monarch.
Chris didn't explain much. He met a somewhat special Rhean. After killing the Rhean casually, he disguised himself as the other person and stayed in the Rhean army for a while. Gradually, he understood the Rhean's past from other people.
Thus, the person who was already dead became one of the three targets of the ritual.
The Rhea man grew up listening to his grandfather telling the legends of heroes, and the seed of protecting Rhea was planted in his heart.
Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, he would always stand alone on the top of the mountain, looking at the starry sky and silently saying in his heart: "One day, I will become a hero who protects this land."
Opportunities always come to those who are prepared. He responded to the call of the "Lord of Blood and Flame" without hesitation and embarked on the journey.
However, that Rhean was just an ordinary Origin Extraordinary Person with poor potential and very ordinary bloodline power. He was a grassroots officer in the Rhean army and was never really valued. He was just a high-level cannon fodder.
On the battlefield, he was brave and fearless and always rushed to the front line, using his flesh and blood to build an indestructible line of defense.
In a decisive battle, the Rhea troop encountered an unprecedented crisis - the troops led by the extraordinary people at the qualitative change level were chasing them, and they suffered heavy casualties in an instant.
Faced with the enemy's overwhelming offensive, he made an astonishing decision - to challenge the enemy's officers of a qualitatively different level alone and buy time for the troops to retreat.
In that battle, he used mysterious objects to demonstrate extraordinary courage and wisdom, and finally successfully led his troops to break through, but he was also seriously injured.
After the war, the Rhean man was hailed as "the light of the Rhean border". His deeds spread throughout the country and he became a hero in the eyes of many Rhean people.
In many subsequent battles, he performed extraordinary heroic feats and even cooperated with friendly forces to kill powerful enemies of a qualitatively different level.
The man whom Chris killed casually had already reached the limit of what his strength could achieve at that level. Although the level of the battles he faced was not high, he subconsciously agreed with it.
"Let's get started..."
Chris shook his head slightly, keeping that little memory deep in his heart and continued to move forward.
A few days later, in the magnificent hall of the Fisher family.
With the priest's various actions and words, everyone became more and more nervous and expectant.
The new sacrifice has been completed.
Under the excited gazes of everyone in the Fisher family, a huge gray beam of light shot up into the sky, completely different from any previous ones, and even people in half of the province could see it!
"Finally, a new step!" Christine murmured to herself.
The seventh step of the Path of Tranquility: "Blade of Death".
Its image in the spiritual world is a man surrounded by black shadows, with only one blood-red pupil showing. He looks extremely mysterious and strange.
The extraordinary materials used are "Horn of Nightmare" and "Blood of Black Dragon". In fact, if it were not for the support of the Lorn people, it would be difficult for the Fisher family to collect them.
As for the extraordinary materials needed for the next level, even for the people of Loen, they are considered extremely precious treasures...
After reaching a higher level, Chris's spiritual power and physical fitness have been greatly improved. According to the previous statistical algorithm, it is equivalent to an increase of 2000 in spiritual power and 7000 in physical fitness. This is undoubtedly an exaggerated increase.
Chris, who became "Blade of Death", also gained two new supernatural powers, namely "Soul Harvest" and "Double Destruction". At the same time, "Night Hide" and "Night Shift" also evolved into "Death Hide" and "Shadow Move" respectively.
"Soul Harvest", as the name suggests, is an extraordinary characteristic that is completely targeted at the soul. Chris's melee attacks will be able to cause fatal blows to the soul, and it also has great restraint on all kinds of dead.
Because the extraordinary people below the level of Apocalypse have almost no defense against souls, if they encounter Chris's attack, they will basically suffer serious damage.
The ability of "double destruction" means that if Chris launches two attacks on the same location, it can cause several times the destructive effect!
The conditions for activating this ability are undoubtedly quite harsh, but it does restrain opponents with high defense but slow movement speed.
The upgraded "Death Hide" and "Shadow Move" from "Night Hide" and "Night Move" have become more versatile.
Now Chris no longer needs to be invisible and teleport in the dark. Instead, he can be invisible and teleport unlimitedly as long as there is a shadow within his sight, and it hardly consumes any spiritual power.
Although the invisibility will be lifted after each attack, it will become invisible again if you do not attack in the shadows for more than two seconds.
After the instant movement of "Shadow Movement", you only need to wait half a second before you can activate it again.
