Chapter 301: The End of the Color of Stars
The warm sun shines obliquely in the afternoon, there is no wind, and there is a rare warmth on the earth.
Tulip Manor, living room.
Victor walked in quickly, waved away the servants, and said in high spirits:
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
During this period, he captured a large number of third-level monsters and extracted enough life essence.
After swallowing it, his essence, which had withered and decayed like wild grass in late autumn, became full again.
Not only that, he also used this achievement to obtain the church's advanced magic circle, and then seized the opportunity to go one step further and be promoted to the silver level.
Victor felt that his military power had reached the top of the world and he was qualified to be on equal footing with the Pope.
Osman was wearing a black robe and a hood that completely covered his face.
He pulled back his hood, carefully felt the other person's silver soul, and said with a smile, "Not bad, it lived up to my expectations."
His words were gentle, but there was a hint of coldness in the depths of his eyes as he looked away.
The normal silver soul glows warmly, and its color is pure without any impurities, but there is occasionally some discord in the fluctuations of the opponent's silver soul.
When disharmony appears, a faint black color will appear in the silver soul, and this black color is particularly eye-catching in the pure white.
"This secret method really has side effects. Can't he sense that there are impurities in the silver soul?"
Thinking of this, Osman spoke again: "After advancing, do you feel any difference in your body?"
Victor shook his head like a rattle and responded, "I'm in good health. If there's any difference, it seems that I prefer barbecue these days. Medium-rare beef is the most appetizing."
In his later years, his diet became much lighter and he was a vegetarian most of the time.
Even if he wanted to eat some meat, he would ask the kitchen to make some broth and only drink the broth.
He did not pay much attention to the recent changes in his diet, because he thought it was due to the sublimation of his life after advancing to the silver level, which required more nutrition.
Because when he was young, he also liked to eat barbecue, but at that time the barbecue had to be cooked medium-rare.
Victor thought that the Pope would not ask questions without reason, so he thought quickly and asked softly, "Your Majesty, does this secret method have side effects?"
Osman shook his head and said calmly, "There is no problem with the secret technique, but your life source has decayed. It is beyond my expectation that it can be replenished again. This is also the reason why I refused when you wanted to obtain the sublimation array in the first place."
He didn't know whether there was something wrong with the secret technique, but now it seems that there are indeed some problems.
In addition, the other party’s situation is different from his. The decline of the origin of life will only occur when life reaches the end, and it is an irreversible process.
The source of his own life was only injured, which could theoretically be healed.
He originally thought that the secret technique could at most extend the other party's life by a few years, but he did not expect that the other party could actually undergo the sublimation of life. It was truly incredible.
Victor stared at the Pope. He was somewhat skeptical of what he said, but he had no evidence:
"Your Majesty, I am now a knight of the silver rank. I am going to hold a grand banquet and announce this good news to the outside world."
Now that he has even stronger power, of course he has to show it to the outside world, otherwise it would be like walking in the night in gorgeous clothes, which would be very uncomfortable.
Osman frowned and said with an expression that was hard to tell:
"Wouldn't it be better to keep a low profile? Hiding it can also serve as the foundation of the church. This is what we agreed upon when I gave you the sublimation array."
Many high-level experts in Bryan City know the other party's situation. If it is exposed, it will definitely be discovered by someone with ulterior motives.
If the secret technique spreads, it will be detrimental to the overall situation.
If someone gives up their bottom line and hunts down extraordinary people of the same level, things may get out of control.
Too many extraordinary people are just one step away from advancement before they die. After advancement, they can gain more life and greater power. Faced with such temptation, no one can resist.
"Your Majesty, this is the Silver Rank, a chance for the Nai Family to advance further. Can't we keep a low profile and hide it?!"
Victor felt that there would be many benefits if the news of his advancement spread. Not only would his family be able to make further progress, but he would also receive more attention.
If the Pope wants to get rid of the donkey after it has served its purpose, he will have more concerns.
As for the promise made to the other party that he would not expose himself even if he advanced to silver level, it was of course a delaying tactic.
"You've grown up and have your own ideas, that's fine."
Osman smiled meaningfully, his face turned cold and he said:
"Okay, if you want to spread the news, that's up to you. But the matter of the magic circle must not be spread. This is my bottom line."
"Your Majesty, I understand this.
This magic circle is so powerful. If it spreads out, I'm afraid everyone will be in danger. How could I do such an unwise thing! "
Victor spoke righteously, and I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, the Pope is a veteran silver-level transcendent who has accumulated power over a long period of time. What he did just now can be said to be a challenge to the other party's authority. He couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, but he had to do it.
"Take care of yourself."
Osman said this coldly, then stood up and left without looking back.
"Your Majesty, please take your time."
. . . .
The night was shrouded in gray fog.
In the basement of Tulip Manor, Victor was tied to a chair, his hands and feet were dislocated, and a red collar inlaid with gems was hung around his neck.
A figure in a black robe stood in front of him, causing him to crawl in the shadows.
He said with a trembling voice:
"Your Majesty, I shouldn't have disobeyed your decision, please let me go.
I am willing to hide in the dark and handle shady matters for you.
I haven't sent out the news yet, so no one else knows that I have advanced to the Silver level, and even my relatives haven't heard the news."
Originally thought, after his advancement, the opponent would be cautious even if he was defeated, but he was crushed as soon as they fought.
The other party's strength was beyond his imagination, and he suspected that the Pope had gone one step further and become a fifth-level transcendent.
Osman sat opposite Victor and said calmly:
"We are old friends who have dealt with each other for many years. Today I am here to give you a ride.
As long as you don't leak the magic circle, I will forgive you for what happened, and I will also take good care of the Nai family's business so that it won't be taken over by others."
Since a large amount of silver-grade life essence needed to be refined, he had thought of casting a magic circle to "produce" a batch of silver-grade life essences, so that there would be enough materials.
But after carefully weighing the risks, he decided it would be better to choose one by one.
He held the highest power in the church, and the entire Farouk Kingdom was his pasture.
If the magic circle spreads out, he dares to conclude that in today's face of the increasingly serious threat of evil gods, the evil in human nature will definitely be released.
If that happens, the situation here will become a mess.
"Your Majesty, I..."
Osman stood up, ignoring Victor's pleas for mercy, and reached out to touch the other's forehead.
He has inherited endless knowledge and has various methods to explore the secrets deep in a person's soul.
After a moment, he pulled his hand away from the other person's forehead and nodded with satisfaction: "Indeed, I have not told anyone else. I will ensure the prosperity of the Nai family for the next twenty years. This is my promise."
"Hehe," Victor grinned foolishly, with saliva flowing from the corners of his mouth.
In his originally shrewd eyes, there was only idiotic 'purity' left.
A few days later, news broke out from the Ney family that the head of the family, Victor Ney, was missing, causing an uproar in the city of Bray.
While everyone was discussing the matter, Osman stayed in the secret room of the sanctuary, studying ways to completely purify the hidden dangers of the source of life.
Victor gave him enough information and his experiment went smoothly.
. . . .
Crown, dressed in Iron Man costume, spread a pair of rose-gold wings, took off from the mansion and flew towards the alienated land.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
A distance of three or four kilometers only took him one minute, and if he tried his best, he could go even faster.
When he stepped onto this crystal white land, there was a hint of pride on his face.
When they first came to explore this area, he and Nick were the only ones who escaped.
That star creature whose splendor could not be described in words completely crushed them, and now it was time for him to take revenge.
However, he still decided to give the enemy a chance, a chance to live longer, and it depended on whether the other party could seize it.
He summoned a golden wall and checked his current proficiency in the Golden Light Spell.
Two minutes later, he released a golden light.
The golden light spread, and the original coldness in the air was swept away, instead it was filled with a hot breath.
The pale branches of the trees seemed to have experienced a long time in an instant, breaking into pieces.
The mutated insects and animals hiding there scattered into a handful of white sand, occasionally emitting golden spots of light.
"The progress of the Golden Light Mantra is visible to the naked eye. It took several attempts to achieve this effect before."
Klauen nodded secretly and summoned the golden wall again.
[Golden Light Mantra: 86/300000; Level 4]
This. The proficiency only increased by more than ten points? He quickly calculated in his mind, and this growth number was not much faster than the honest visualization.
In addition, those who can obtain materials such as the essence of the sun and the moon during visualization cannot obtain them by releasing the golden light.
"It seems that you can't grasp the opportunity given to you! I don't know if killing you can gain enough proficiency."
Clown shook his head slightly. His hope of continuing to use the star creatures to assist in his practice was shattered. He decided to purify this area where the laws of pollution were raging.
He took off again and arrived at the center of the alienated area.
As he fell from the sky, he quickly changed his hand seals and released a field of golden light.
This is the area where the pollution law is the most intense, so he released his most powerful skills.
Then, using this 'golden circle' as a reference, he began to release golden light to quickly clear away the filth here.
The purpose of doing this is to quickly compress the living space of star creatures.
There was no other way. The alienated area was quite vast. If the enemy was too far away from him, he would not be able to detect it even with his current spiritual perception. He could only use the most stupid method to slowly find the enemy.
The Golden Light Mantra reached the fourth level, and his body contained more life energy, allowing him to release golden light more times.
After releasing skills continuously for half an hour, the alienated area had been split into two by golden light.
After a while, most of the life energy in Clown's body was consumed, so he sat down cross-legged and began to meditate.
This time, he wants to make a concerted effort to completely eliminate the hidden dangers here.
There is enough food prepared in the space ring, and the star creatures must be killed.
The sun was setting, and the last rays of light were replaced by darkness. Gray fog filled the air, covering the earth with a thick layer of mist.
In the alienated area, the plants that were pale during the day became colorful, and some plants produced fruits full of foul smell; animals also came out to move around, and malicious roars were heard.
Crown squinted his eyes and looked at this colorful place.
He had never seen what the night was like here, and he didn't expect it to be like this.
Spreading his wings and leaving, he had a fairly sumptuous dinner outside the alienated area, then immediately flew back to continue his work.
He wanted to speed up his progress and kill the star creatures as soon as possible so that he could free up time to explore another similar area in Rhine City.
There won't be people like him harassing that area, and it might even be a place that could help him practice.
At the edge of the alienated area, colorful halos lingered on the vines, and several mice the size of puppies were hung there.
Distorted light also appeared on the bodies of the originally white mice, and their size shrank rapidly, as if they were carbonized and turned black.
Yes, the star creatures are eating here, and the name of its race is Star Color.
The Star Colors have no material entity, but are like a glittering, constantly flowing collection of colors.
At this moment, it was trying to stay as far away from the creature shining with golden light as possible, because it felt the power of the law from the other party that could destroy itself.
Star Color identifies living things through soul fluctuations. It had seen this creature not long after it landed in this world.
At that time, it was very powerful. Although the opponent was weak, it could radiate a magical law. The situation at that time was that it was chasing and fighting the opponent.
Later, the creature managed to escape, and when they met again, the enemy had the power to fight against it.
From then on, it had less and less power to restrain the other party and simply let it go.
It plans to accumulate for a few more years, and when it is fully mature, it will devour the opponent's flesh and soul and put an end to this confrontation.
Contemplating the Golden Light Mantra to restore the life energy, releasing the golden light to compress the enemy's living space, Crown worked tirelessly and calmly carried out his plan.
When the sun rises, the sunlight dispels the darkness, and Star Color no longer hides itself, it launches an attack on its opponent.
It just can't win by conventional means, and doesn't want to waste the strength it has accumulated over the days.
Now, as the law domain is constantly being eroded, its home advantage is about to be lost, so it decided to give it a try.
If you win, you can swallow the enemy to recover the loss. If you lose, the worst that can happen is that you can use up some of your essence to move to another place and run away.
When Clown saw the colorful halo rising in front of him, he released the golden light field without thinking.
At the same time, he pushed his hands forward, and two mini lightning bolts burst out, palm thunder!
Silver lightning flashed in the golden area, and the colorful halo immediately became much thinner.
