Chapter 505: Call me next time you make a nest
After Aiwass confirmed his choice, the other two entries disappeared and turned into ashes.
His spirit slowly rose, looking down at the dark earth. A light as blazing as the sun blazed from his chest, and his spirit, like a drunk, expanded toward the entire world.
The remaining ball of shining golden light drew a melodious arc and flew into Aiwas' chest.
It was like a key inserted into a lock, or a chemical reagent reacting with it. As it sank into the light within Aiwass's chest, it boiled and exploded like cold water poured into a pot of scalding oil. Aiwass's entire body began to glow, becoming as transparent as crystal.
There were particles in his body that were rapidly shooting outwards. They condensed into lines and kept shooting out. After touching Aiwass's skin, they immediately bent and flew back, forming a series of rapidly moving broken lines in his body.
Like a slowly burning fireplace, Aiwass's glow grew brighter.
Aiwass opened his eyes wide, the intense pain making him want to scream out, but he couldn't make any sound at all - the whole world was devoid of any sound, only pitch black silence.
He raised his left hand, and saw a dark golden glow gleaming beneath his skin, which had turned transparent and glassy. As those bright particles continuously collided with Aiwass's "shell," they seemed to shatter and gradually became blurred.
It changed from shining particles to golden threads, and then to a blurry golden mist.
Aiwass looked up at the dark sky and suddenly realized something.
He raised his arms as if praising the sun.
The next moment, Aiwas's entire body suddenly collapsed.
He turned into a ball of invisible light mist and was about to dissipate outwards the next moment.
At this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and woke up from the bed.
Aiwass's system panel also popped up automatically, and the changed parts were updated:
Illuminator LV30: [Basic Prayer - Level 5 (55%)], [Sacrificial Fire - Level 6 (30%)], [Illumination - Level 5 (15%)], [Shepherding (Flesh and Blood) - Level 7 (21%)], [Sunfire - Level 2 (45%)], [Blessing - Level 5 (0%)]
Mana Pool: 59/59 (Light), 68/68 (Dark), 57/57 (Fire)
Road characteristics——
The path has been illuminated: Dedication - fourth level, Transcendence - third level
It can be seen at a glance that Aiwass's "Blessing" skill level was directly obtained by using experience points before his promotion.
——Anyway, let’s get them all to level five first.
“…Hmm!”
Just as Aiwas opened his eyes, severe pain came after a brief delay.
His body suddenly began to tremble and he covered his heart with his hands.
It’s so hot…
The blood pumping by the heart is as hot as magma at this moment!
His skin immediately became scorching hot, and his entire body flushed red. Just like after soaking in a very hot spring for a long time, Aiwass's entire body was visible to the naked eye.
He gasped for air, clutching the bedsheets in intense pain. Sweat dripped from his body, but he gritted his teeth and endured it without a sound.
Lily heard the sound from this side and woke up suddenly.
She walked over quickly, and when she saw Aiwass's appearance, she immediately retreated to get hot water and a towel.
A red flame ignited in Aiwas's eyes.
He lowered his head and looked at his arms that were tightly gripping the bed sheet. His skin seemed to be "cracked" and cracks suddenly appeared like cracks in the ground.
Golden light seeps out from it!
“Uhh—”
The pain instantly turned into itching, and Aiwass finally couldn't bear it anymore. He couldn't help but groan and subconsciously wanted to scratch his skin.
But then, his original skin turned dark, wrinkled, and quickly withered.
Aiwass scratched harder and harder, tearing off a piece of his skin!
He was shocked himself.
But it was like tearing off a layer of dead skin, giving Aiwass a strange sense of liberation.
The other skin beneath the skin is not the pink of the dermis, but a pure white, translucent white like jade.
Ai Huashi paused, vaguely realizing something, and began to struggle violently, as if he was bound by some invisible rope and was trying to break free.
But what he wanted to break free of was nothing else but his own skin.
Aiwass's body became extremely soft... as soft as a snake.
He twisted and folded his body, struggling to free himself completely from the skin he once wore. It was like peeling half of an egg, and then the remaining half could be removed directly... The skin on Aiwass's upper body was torn to shreds by himself, but the skin below his waist was almost completely removed, like taking off pants.
Then, Aiwass stroked his face with both hands, confirming something.
As if he had found a gap, he suddenly exerted force with both hands and tore the skin on his face apart.
His hair fell out and then regrowth rapidly. His new translucent skin steamed with heat, pure and flawless. As time passed, that jade-like translucent skin gradually "solidified" and turned the pure white of a boiled egg.
The next moment, all the skin that Aiwass shed began to spontaneously combust.
They burned with golden flames, but did not ignite the bed. The flames, as if possessed by spirits, clung to Aiwass, burning quietly on his body, before being absorbed back into his body.
The only thing left on the bed was Aiwass's long hair. The flames had thinned it a bit, but it had become even more radiant. Now it didn't look like hair at all, but more like white-gold threads.
His hair is now back to the length it was when he first appeared in the newspapers. If he wants it to grow longer, he'll have to start growing it all over again.
Lily hurried in again with hot water and a towel.
After seeing Aiwass with clear eyes and calm expression, she was stunned for a moment.
"...No more towels?"
"No, thank you."
Aiwass said gently.
After he was promoted to the Enlightener and completed his first promotion, Aiwass gained new abilities and even had an extra column on his attribute panel.
[Professional Characteristics——]
[Strengthened Blessing: Your "Blessing" evolves into "Enlightenment"]
[Inspire: The upper limit of the blessings you can bestow on the same person is increased by 2; each time you complete a blessing, your next Radiance is free and instantaneous.]
[Enhanced Lighting: Your "Lighting" evolves into "Glorious"]
[Radiance: When you use Radiance on a target within the range of Radiance and that is being Radiated by you, you no longer need to touch its body; your Radiance changes from Focused Casting to Echo Casting.]
Aiwass's panel changed again.
Enlightener LV30: [Basic Prayer - Level 5 (55%)], [Sacrificial Fire - Level 6 (30%)], [Illumination·Glorious Light - Level 5 (15%)], [Shepherding (Flesh and Blood) - Level 7 (21%)], [Sunfire - Level 2 (45%)], [Blessing·Enlightenment - Level 5 (0%)]
“It went very smoothly.”
Aiwass smiled at Lily and said, "Isabel and I both came back alive..."
But at this moment, Aiwass suddenly heard a strange prompt, interrupting him -
You feel the gaze of Adaptation.
[You have obtained the characteristic: Adaptability - Essence of Enyo]
[Adaptation - Essence of Enyo: A potion crafted from the essence of Enyo, the City Breaker. Storm Container Level +2 (Wind Mana Limit +42)]
"—This is your share."
The low and hoarse voice sounded again in Aiwass's ears.
The property panel that had just changed was about to change again.
Mana Pool: 59/59 (Light), 68/68 (Dark), 57/57 (Fire), 42/42 (Wind)
……Um?
Aiwass was stunned for a moment.
"I'm awesome!"
He blurted out immediately.
He had just been thinking about how he hadn't taken the "share of spoils" or... the "project bonus" the Scale-Feathered Lord had given him. He had said he would compensate him, but he didn't know what. He wasn't sure if he should pray and solemnly request the balance... or if he should just assume the Scale-Feathered Lord was just being polite and not pursue him for it.
As a result, the Lord of Scales and Feathers paid the final payment really quickly.
Before he even got out of bed, the balance was deposited directly into his account.
And so generous—
A two-level container is equivalent to a purple entry!
It’s the wind-attribute magic power that Aiwas has never obtained!
Aiwass clasped his hands together and prayed devoutly: "I praise the Lord of Scales and Feathers, the God of the Holy Number Six..."
For a moment, Aiwass felt a little touched.
——This boss is good to deal with. When he eats meat, he really gives his subordinates some soup!
And Aiwass wasn't considered his subordinate yet—for now, Aiwass's bosses were Sizhu and the Fallen Angels. Once the Demonologist advanced to the Sinner Scholar, he would be considered their subordinate.
Just cooperation brings such tangible benefits!
Aiwass, who was originally complaining about the Lord of Scales and Feathers using him as a bait for fishing, suddenly changed his expression and his smile became sincere.
——Boss, next time you go fishing, remember to call me when you want to bait the bait!
Update completed meow!
Six thousand five hundred words, I can't even reach seven thousand. That's it, meow~
