Chapter 1045 Death Madness and Black Devil



The silver luxury car drove on the flyover of Galaxie, and countless car lights around it shuttled over the city along the flyover, like a group of fireflies bound in a track. The neon-lit high-rise buildings stood on the land, like huge lanterns illuminating the snowflakes drifting in the night sky.

When we got off the bridge and encountered a toll booth, the car window slowly moved down and a card was handed out from inside. The staff took the card and swiped it, then glanced at the suspect list on the wall next to him, looked down at the interior of the car, and was immediately amazed: the driver in the front seat was actually an elegant blonde girl, wearing a black velvet shawl and a military blue windbreaker underneath, naturally exuding the nobility of an upper-class aristocrat, and her slender fingers in velvet black gloves gently tapped the steering wheel, and it was obvious that she was in a good mood.

It didn’t match the suspect list at all. The staff handed the card back and said with a smile, “May the stars bless you.”

The blonde girl smiled and nodded, lowered the opaque window, and the silver sedan disappeared into the traffic.

In the back seat, Sonia was watching a TV show next to Ash, and her blood-red hair tickled Ash. Although watching a TV show with Sword Princess was a good choice to kill time, Ash still needed to take care of a small matter first.

When he opened the Aurora's Magician's Manual, a message popped up immediately: "The training of the operators has ended. Please check the growth report and set up the training strategy for this week as soon as possible."

Ash didn't expect that this system was still working. In fact, after knowing that his meeting with Sword Lady and the other three was not a "coincidence of the game" but a "destined inevitability", he realized that this game system was just a medium used by the Final Five to guide them.

I was wondering how a member of the operations team could travel through time with a game. The job of operations is not to play the game, but to play with the players...

Now that Death Maniac has confessed the truth and bared his fangs at them, Ash thought that even if Aurora's Sorcerer's Manual would not disappear, it would at least not be updated. After all, the purpose of this system is to guide Ash to collect and correctly train four operators while hiding the Final Five.

But Ash had already met with the Death Maniac, and their existence was completely exposed. If there was anything, he could just say it directly. Why did he need to use the system to induce? It couldn't be that the End Viewer was another riddler who kept repeating the same thing over and over again, right?

It's as strange as a couple in a long-distance relationship who meet each other but instead of chatting in real life, send emoticons online.

However, when Ash saw the details of the report, his expression turned serious.

"Training evaluation: SSS!"

"Because she received an SSS-level evaluation, Death Mad Sword Princess received the occupation enhancement in the Sorcerer's Handbook: Death Mad!"

"Death Maniac Ultimate Trait: Gradually unlock three traits as your personality shifts."

[Possessiveness: Each effective attack will leave polluted magic power in the target's body. The polluted magic power will continue to torture the target's soul, and the target's magic spirit will fall into madness and actively rebel or self-destruct. ]

[Poison: When you attack, regardless of whether the attack is effective, whether it makes contact, or whether it kills, the target you lock on will suffer direct soul shock damage. If the target has polluted magic power, the polluted magic power will explode.]

[Weeping: When you are depressed, you will gain a layer of Weeping Cloak, up to seven layers. Each layer of the cloak provides you with various resistances, attack speed, casting speed, and damage barrier. The Weeping Cloak will cause the polluted mana within the range to produce a burning effect and accelerate the growth effect. ]

"Because of the increase in magic power, the talent of the Death Sword Princess has been strengthened!"

"Because she received an SSS-level evaluation, Death Mad Sword Princess received the career assessment mission 'Death Mad'!"

"Death Maniac: No time limit. When the personality shifts to the critical point, all characteristics are unlocked, and the Death Maniac occupation characteristics can be permanently solidified. Current progress: (1/3)."

Fiora's bond level is still level 4, which is not surprising to Ash. The reason why they were able to raise their bond level to level 5 or even level 6 in the Hell Trial was all thanks to the temporary upgrade of the Final Five. Now that the Hell Trial is over, the bond will naturally be downgraded.

However, he and Sword Lady and Witch had been through so many adventures in the past that they already had a Level 4 bond. Ash once wondered if they had to do the most intimate things as a couple to unlock a Level 5 bond, but what if he was a pure love person... No, he had always been a pure love person... What if he decided to only like one person, then wouldn't the others be unable to unlock a Level 5 bond?

In fact, the more likely scenario is: if no one likes him, then won't he never be able to unlock the level 5 bond?

But now Ash understood that it was not only lovers who could unlock the Level 5 bond, but only the Supreme Sorcerer. The sharing of virtual wings unlocked by the Level 5 bond was not a power that a demigod or a master of magic could master. It was the ultimate secret skill invented by the Five Last Days, a group of Supreme Sorcerers from the end of the century.

As for Sword Lady's demigod swordsmanship, Ash thought it was full of water.

Before the Hell Trial, Sword Princess' swordsmanship was at best legendary, and it was unlikely that she could reach the edge of demigod status. However, it was impossible to summon gods with just the legendary level. In order to summon the 'Shattered Lake God', her swordsmanship was forcibly raised to the demigod level in the Hell Trial.

So in a sense, it can be said that Ash has instilled her swordsmanship into a demigod. After all...

Her water magic advancement to legendary was unexpected, but reasonable. The Broken Lake Spirit was obviously a composite magic spirit with swordsmanship as the main skill and water magic as the secondary skill. In the process of summoning the spirit, Sword Princess would naturally deepen her understanding of water magic.

The reason why the space faction can be promoted to the sanctuary should be similar.

This may be the most luxurious shortcut to advance in magic throughout history. Magicians often rely on their accumulated magic realm to summon gods, but they improve their knowledge of magic by summoning gods. The former is like taking a leadership position based on work experience, while the latter is directly parachuted into a leadership position and then accumulate work experience.

However, what Ash is most nervous about right now is naturally the new professional feature of Fiora, Death Maniac!

It must be said that Ash was really moved by her professional characteristics. Vichy had mentioned before that although the soul body allowed the demigods to gain immortality, they also lost the "plasticity" of mortals. Mortals could heal their flesh and blood through miracles, but the injuries to the demigod soul body might not be healed for hundreds of years!

It can be seen that the three characteristics of Death Maniac are completely aimed at the soul: the polluted magic power created by [Possessiveness] will continue to erode the enemy's soul, [Poisonous] allows Sword Lady to ignore all defenses and directly attack the opponent's soul to trigger polluted magic power, [Sorrow] is an integrated attack and defense, which not only protects her own soul, but also further enhances the power of polluted magic power!

If Sword Lady unlocks these three characteristics, the demigods who fight with her in the future will also be beaten to a pulp. At least Ash couldn't figure out how he could deal with such Sword Lady.

Fortunately, Sword Lady was in my arms, I was scared to death.

Although these three characteristics were very tempting, Ash had no desire at all.

When Fiora's personality shifts to the point where she can unlock these three characteristics, she will not be far from being replaced by Death Maniac.

This is more of a warning than a mission. As long as Ash does the opposite and prevents Sword Princess from having emotions like [possessiveness], [resentment], [crying], etc., she can avoid turning into a death maniac!

Now the progress of Sword Lady is (1/3), and she has obviously unlocked the [Possessiveness] trait, but Ash doesn't care. He has never thought about changing Sword Lady's possessiveness, firstly, he can't do it, and secondly, he can't imagine what Sword Lady without possessiveness is like.

He knew clearly that Fiora had many shortcomings: she was possessive, vengeful, vain, selfish, and couldn't stand others being better than her... But he just liked her. Others were bad if they had these shortcomings, but Fiora was cute if she had these shortcomings.

Just like Sword Lady also likes him even though he has all his flaws.

Ash adjusted his position and put his arms around Sword Princess' waist from behind. Sonia didn't even turn her head, and changed to a more comfortable position lying in his arms, putting her hands on his hands and gathering them together for warmth.

"Inherent Talent: Sword Princess (Void): It is easier to summon four-winged sword spirits, and it is possible to hatch new sword spirits on its own. It can actively summon the phantom of the exterminating resentful dragon (the talent level can be unlocked after the strength is improved)"

Ash touched the back of Sword Lady's hand. Her Queen's Mark had not disappeared yet, so she could continue to actively summon guardian spirits. Strangely enough, Sword Lady had the Resentful Brilliant Dragon, Witch had the Bronze Dragon, Silver Lantern had the Mirror Dragon, and Vichy had the Dusk Dragon, but he had no guardian spirit.

Even a fish-slaying dragon would be fine!

Ash complained in his mind as he opened the second report.

"Training evaluation: SSS!"

"Because she received an SSS-level evaluation, the Black and White Witch received the job enhancement in the Sorcerer's Handbook: Black Mage!"

"Dark Mage·Professional Features: Gradually unlock three features as your personality shifts."

[Loneliness: You and your clone share the power of the virtual wing, the magic spirit of the gods, the magic wonders, and sensory information. You and your clone have the same casting authority. ]

[Crazy: When you and your clone simultaneously launch miracles, wonders, and miracles, the effects of your spells will be connected and affect each other, and the resulting effects will be strengthened by 300% to 10,000%. ]

[Despair: At the cost of falling asleep, the clone's thinking ability is overclocked and strengthened, and it can launch more miracles, wonders, and miracles at the same time. ]

"Because her magic power has been improved, the Black and White Witch's talent has been strengthened!"

"Because she received an SSS-level evaluation, the Black and White Witch received the career assessment mission 'Black Magic'!"

"Dark Mage: No time limit. When the personality shifts to the critical point, all characteristics are unlocked, and the Dark Mage occupation characteristics can be permanently solidified. Current progress: (2/3)."

Ash rubbed his eyes to make sure he saw it right.

Why, why did Sword Lady only unlock 1 feature, but Witch unlocked 2! ?

First of all, the witch must have unlocked [Loneliness]. It was because of loneliness that she created the witch sisters. Secondly, the witch must not have unlocked [Despair]. She sneaked into Ash's tent to sleep last night, but Ash found himself kicked out in the morning. She is full of energy every day.

Therefore, the witch could only have unlocked the feature of [Madness].

But the craziest thing the witch has done recently seems to be...

Ash quickly shook this terrible thought out of his head. It's impossible, absolutely impossible, it definitely can't be because of me!

Sonia poked him with her elbow, signaling him not to move the pillow. She raised her eyebrows and glanced at the rearview mirror in front of her, asking Ash to hold his hand tighter.
